NO CUT IN APPROPRIATIONS.
Waterbury Will Get $135,ooo for It's
 Public Building.

1uDIlC bui1ulllS.
 Washington, May 30.-The conferees on the omnibus public building bill have reached an agreement. The bill as agreed upon by the conference makes the following appropriations for Connecticut public buildings: Hart ford, $240,0O0; Waterbury, $135,000; Torrington, S5O,O00; Meriden, S100, ,000 The appropriation of $100000 for Mer- iden was not in the house bill as 1t came to the senate, but was put in the bill by the senate committee. It was retained by the conference. Both the Waterbury and the Torrington appro- priations were changed in the confer ence. The house bill carried S135, 1000 for Waterbury, but the senate commit tee cut the appropriation down to $125, GOO when rRDorting the bill to the senate. The conference restored the appropriation to $135,000 as originally carried in the bill as it came from the house. The Torrington apprOpria- tion started in the house at $40O0O. Tn the senate committee it was in creased to S6O,O0O, but the conferees compromised by making it $50,00O.

DIsREGARDING ORDINANCES.
Owners of Teams and Others Will Be
 Brought to Halt

Brought to q Halt.
 Superintendent Kelley of the street department had a conference with Prosecuting Attorney Durant this morning regarding the conduct of some builders, plumbers and owners of teams who persist in disregarding the city ordinances. The public is after the superintendent about these things and having failed to get any satisfac- tion from those who are responsible for the trouble by repeatedly calling their attention to them, he had con- cluded to resort to other tactics There is a general kick about Brook street which, it is alleged, is blocked about half the time and should be ordered closed altogether or kept so that teams can pass through there. Team sters load their wagons with all kinds of debris and in passing through the streets sticks, stones, pieces of tin, iron and other things fall on the streets causing considerable inconvenience to public travel, to say nothing of the danger of causing accidents thus ren- dering the city liable for such damage as might ensue on account of such ob- structiOns. The superintendent has been very patient about these matters, but it seems that his leniency has giv- en some people encouragement and now he feels that the time has come when the rights of the public demand protection and he has made LID his | mind to apply the remedy. Every of- render has had ample warming so that i'll case it should be necessary to | resort to stringent measures m ono can say that he has been taken short.

THE INJUSTICE OF TT.
As Figured Out by New Haven
 Newspaper.

Newspaper.
 Does it make any difference where. you make your home? asks the NeV Haven Leader.
 Study the proposed new constitlY i. It provides that fifty people ad6 to the towns of Colchester. ClX .iire, Woodbury and Sharon will mean four additional representatives for their towns and increase the membership of the house of representatives
 Five thousand four hundred and six ty people placed in twenty small towns will add twenty representatives to the house. Plainly this would compel an entirely unnecessary ex- pense to the state. 1t will take 139,- 090 people in New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport and Waterbury to gain four more representatives.
 Fifty people in small towns against 139,090 people in four large towns. How is that for justice? For fair play? For common sense in repre- sentation?
 Here is the necessary gain in popu- lation in several towns in order to gain a representative:

POTTS ON THE STAND
TELLS OF HIS RELATIONS WITH
 PATRICK.
Witness Was Retained by the Defen- dant as Counsel-Prisoner's Coun- sel Objected Strenuously to
 Admission of Testimony.

New York, Feb 10--The trial of Albert Patrick. charged with the death of Will liam Rice, was resumed today after a lapse of six days, owing to the illness of a juror.
 The most interesting part of the trial today was the move of the. State in placing in the witness box John R. Potts. a lawyer and banker, and at one time. at least, friend of the accused. MT, Potts said. among other things. that Ps.ri, } a few days before his arrest, but sfter MT Rices death, had retained him as counsel and that the tie had not been severed. MT. House of counsel for de- fense. objected strongly 10 the testimony being accepted by the court on the ground that MT Potts's conversations with Patrick were privileged. The court, however. allowed MT. Potts to testify to matters prior to Patricks arrest.
 The witness swore he had known Pat rick since 1870, ecoming intimate with him in 1890. He had never seen MT. Rice in Patricks office. though the latter was in the same suite as his Potts's). Pat rick had told him rich client had died and made him residuary legatee aPtrick had also shown him many of the docu- ments now in dispute. among them the Patrick will and he had told Patrick he did not think the will would hold. Patrick replied: That's all night, the estate Is practically mine." Mir. Potts also advised Patrick not to fill out and use the blank checks purported to have been given him by MT. RiceSand Patrick replied he would use the money as MT. Rice had intended it should be used.
 Patrick had told witness MT. Rice had named him as residuary legatee because of his personal regard for him. He. also told witness the day before Mir. Rice died that he had not seen him for week.
 Then Mir Potts swore that the day after the death. Patrick had brought to get it certified. This he had done, as he did with other checks. The defense confined itself to asking MT. Potts 1T Patrick had told him he was to receive the estate as trustee and the answer was that he had.

BEET SUGAR PROPOSITION.
It Wants a Commission Sent to Cuba
 to Investigate.

Washington, Feb. 10-The American Beet Sugar Association. by its President. Henry T. Oxnard. today submitted to the House Committee on Ways and Means a petition urging that d Committee be sent to Cuba for the purpose of obtaining by actual inquiry on the ground and by an examination of the accounts of the Cuban sugar factories the facts in re- gard to the Cuban sugar industry. The petition suggests that the investigations of the Special Committee will be facili- tated if the Committee be authorized to invite d representative to the Beet Sugar Association of the Cuban planters, and of the American Cane Growers Asocia- tion to accompany the Committee to Cuba and to cross-examine witnesses.
 The petition says the beet sugar manu- lecturers offered to permit the Ways and Means Committee to inspect their books but the Cuban planters refrained from giving details of their business. It is de- clared that GeDeral Wood in his letter to members of Congress made an error when he said the present selling price of sugar is 1.6 cents in Cuba or A.SO per sack placed alongside ship. and 1t is as serted that the actual s6.iing price of 96 degrees centrifugal suga, f. o. b. Havana on January 30. was and has since re mained 1.91 1-4 cents per pound or $5,1 3-4 per sack.
