LAKE VICTORIA NYANZA.

Reuters representative has had an in terview with Commodore B. White house, of the royal navy, who has lately returned to England on completion of detailed survey of the British portion of the Victoria Nyanza, undertaken by the Uganda railway committee, in view of the completion of the railway from Mombasa and of the consequently en- hanced value of the lake and it's naVl- gation. This, the first detailed govern- ment survey of this great inland sea, has resulted in very considerable addi- tions to our knowledge of the lake re- gions. It has been found that an in- closed stretch of water forty miles long exists on the east side of the lake, and that outside it's mouth a valuable tract of high country, with a large popula- ton, juts out into the lake where revi- ously only a few islands were supposed to be.
 Commodore Whitehouse, with one as sistant, c. S. Hunter of the Uganda railway accompanied by thirty Swahil- is. spent thirteen months in exploring in small steel boats every part of the Brit ish shore of the Nyanza. Over twenty two hundred miles of coast line, of mainland and islands, have now been accurately charted, and in parts the maps of the lake shore have been al tered beyond recognition The lake is found to be studded with a vedy large number of islands of varying size, many of them densely populated. Prepara~ tions are being made for the develop ment of the lake traffic, with the open ing of the railway, and passengers leav- ing the train at Port Florence will step on board twin screw steamers alongside the jetty, which wioll convey them to the different stations. One of the steamers for this service has already left England, and should be on the lake bv June Another steamer will follow. These vessels are one hundred and seV- enty-five feet long and draw six feet of water.
 The future port for Mengo, the capital of Uganda, lately called Kampala, will probably be on the west side of Murchi- son gulf, and within easy reach of the capital. The completion of the railway will make an immense difference to our important territories in equatorial Af- rica. Troops from India can now arrive from Bombay in about fourteen days London Times

TOOK NO ACTION.

Carpenters Demand for Increased
 Wages Deferred for Two Weeks.
 There was a meeting of the Builders Exchange last night in room 15 of the Insurance building to take action on the recent notice of a demand for an increase in wages made by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners' local, No. 79 The demand Is to the ef- feet that on and after May 1 the mini mum rate for carpenters in New Ha- ven shall be 35 cents per hour or $2.S0 per day, and the rate of foreman is to be 50 cents per day above the minimum rate asked for by the carpenters.
 The communication enclosing the de- mand was read at the meeting of the Exchange last night, but on account of the small attendance it was decided that no definite action be taken until two weeks from last night when it is hoped that every member of the Elk change can be present and the entire matter thoroughly considered and an effort made to amicably adjust the en- tire matter.

BIRDS THAT PASS IN THE NIGHT.

It is now abundantly established that migration Is mostly carried on at night, and, further. mainly during clear nights. Only a comparatively few spe- cies, such as ducks, cranes, certain large hawks, swallows, swifts and nighthawks, migrate during the day.
 time, and these, it will be observed, are either rapacious birds or mainly those that enjoy such power of rapid flight as to be relatively safe from capture. All the vast horde of warblers, spar rows, ffnches, fycatchers, thrushes and woodpeckers, as well as many Waders and ewimmere migrate at night On clear, still nights, during the migration, birds may often be heard calling to each other high overhead and, may be actu- ally seen by powerful telescopes. Woods and hedgeroWs that were unten- anted one day may become fairly alive with birds at daylight the next morn ing. showing that they have arrived during the night They remain to feed and rest during the day, and if the weather be favorable, may practically all disappear the next night, That they only venture on these journeys during clear nights is shown by the fact that on such nights very few birds are killed by lighthouses. monuments or other Ob- structions, whereas on cloudy or rainy

RATHER UNGRAcIoUs BRIDE.
The Unpleasant Way in Which She En-
 tered Matrimony

tered Matrimony.
 "Yes," said young man recently, q saw one bride this fall start her mar ried life all wrong and if her conduct was as great a shock to her husbands ideas of womanly feeling as it was to mine I feel sorry for him.
 "She was going to have church we'd ding, bridal pageant of beauty and el- egance, and as a small accessory an awning was to be erected from the curb to the church entrance.
 Tt chanced that immediately follow ing this wedding the son of a madest tradesman in the vicinity was to lead his bride to the same altar Hearing of it. the fashionable girl called on the young man and suggested that, as he and his bride were to have the use of her awning, it might be as well for him to share the expense of it. This he de- clined to do, on the ground that his wedding was of so transformations a na- ture as to need no awning, and it cer- tainly had not occurred to him to order one After some argument, in which neither side yielded, the party separated with the sweet girl bride to-be intimat- ing that if he did not pay in part for the awning he should not profit by it.
 "The wedding day dawned with crowded church, fragrant flowers, glim- mering candles, and all the solemn yet joyful accompaniments of the sacra- ment of marriage.
 '"rhe fashionable wedding was duly solemnized, and as the fearful bride de- seconded the steps of the sanctuary the modest equipage of the tradesmans son drew up before the edifice. The White- gowned bride, leaving behind her all the sunny memories of childhood all the tender memories of maidenhood, stand ing on the happy threshold of married life, stepped quickly to her carriage, and then turning, with her own hand gave the signal to waiting workmen to re- move the awning. The second bride and groom advanced to the church to the discordant ripping asunder of can- vas-not half as discordant, however, as the dangling discords that rang through the hearts of the spectators at such an exhibition of evil passion at such a time e'-Baltimore Sun.

JOINT DEBATE AT WELCOME
 HALL,
The Welcome Hall Mems Club Defeats
 Lowell House Club.

The Welcome Hall Mems Club Defeats
 Lowell House Club,
 The mems club of Welcome hall de- feated the Lowell House club in joint debate at Welcome hall last evening. The question for debate was; Resolved, that trusts are for the best interests oI the people of the United States, Lowell House supported the affirmative ana Welcome hall the negative. The speak CTS for Lowell House were Messrs. Mac kenzie, Daly and Hunter; for Welcome hall, Messrs. R. J. Draffon. s. B. san derson and William Less. The speak CTS were given each twelve minutes on their first appearance and five minutes in rebuttal,
 The affirmative advanced the arSu- ment that trusts were natural, lneYlta- ble, and in the line of progress; that they looked toward socialism, which IS the goal of industrial excellence; that they can produce more cheaply than competitive concerns and give the peo- pie the advantage of low prices; that they are not perfect but better than anything in that line that we have had.
 IH6 negative, dLLef ueunluS d lluSt eS "a combination of capital for the pur- pose of controlling the output of any product argued; that trusts showed constant disposition to raise prices, quoting in proof figures from the bull letin of the department of labor; that, while they might produce more cheaply, the people did not reap the benefit Of such saving; that the trusts interfered with honest competition; that they gaind their ends through unjust dis crinination; that their arbitrary clos ing Of plants caused great social dis turbances; that they weer menace to pure and honest political life; that they did not show a tendency to advance wages; and that they made it harder for the laboring man to secure his just demands
 The judges were NJ. II. Robinson in. structor of political economy in Yale uni versity; John Pease Norton, assistant In political economy in the university, and Edgar l.. Heermance, director of religious work in the Divinity school. Mir. Robinson, in announcing the decision, complimented both clubs on the presentation of their cases but said that in view of the fact that the negative had given the more cor rect definition of trust and had success fully answered all arguments in its favor, the judges were unanimous In awarding the decision to the negative.
