ABOUT THAT. NEW STREET.
Through Some Misunderstanding Par
 ties Were Not Heard Last Night.

Inrougn some MlSunderStanulng Tar
 ties Were Not Heard Last Night.
 Great interest is centered in the pro- posed street from South Main street through the Boughton property to Lounsbury street. Parties interested were in attendance at the meeting of the board of public works last night, but owing to some mistake they were not heard. The vote passed by the board ordering them in is for June 10. They will be heard on that date. It is understood that property owners on Lounsbury street from Southview street to South Main street are laying plans to defeat this project, but there is nothing certain about this. So far as can be learned no member of the board of public works knows any thing about such a movement. The question oyer a decent street i'll that section hass been before the city gov- ernment for years and it ought to be settled as soon as possible. The en- gineer is on record with a statement to the effect that 1t is impossible to use that portion of Lounsbury street from South Main street to Southview street as a city street and if this be so it seems that some other way should be taken hold of at once. Some will say that people had no business going in there without knowing how they were going to get out, but that does not solve the problem. Some day when the city changes it's method of doing work of this character and makes grades and layouts of streets and establishes building lines before the streets are built upon all this trouble will be avoided. This would require charter amendment, but it is one that should be attended to at the first opportunity. 1t is much cas- fer to establish grades and building lines before houses are erected than it is to do it after a number of people have built to grades that suited the conditions that existed when the houses were going up. The system in vogue here entails hardship upon the city and in the long run works to the detriment of people who buy property on unaccepted streets.

What He Thinks of the Constitution
 and What He Will Do.
 A special dispatch from Norwich to the New Haven Register says:
 Charles F. Thayer, chairman of the democratic state central committee, said, to-day, in reply to the inquiry of Register reporter, that he did not contemplate taking any official action in relation to the proposed new constr tuition.
 T do not think that any action on the part of the democratic committee is necessary" said Mir Thayer. 'The people will deal with that matter as it deserves. They can be depended upon. shall vote. against its adoption my self, as I consider it a miserable make shift"
 ..Then it is your opinion, Mir Thayer, that the people will reject the work Of the constitutional conyention?" pursued the reporter
 Tt certainly is,' was the answer
 The Register says as the result of irl- quiry in New Haven that the opinion is growing that the proposed funda- mental law should be rejected and no doubt exists that will be It's fate.

is in almost every house in town. A smarter, more dressy and becoming hat never was seen on the streets than the styles we are fitting out this sea- son. The young ladies no longer wear a hat that looks as old as those worn by their mothers. The shapes and straws are entirely different and are made to be very becoming to any lady who dresses in good taste. Our motto-Save every customer money if she buys hat at our store, and we will guarantee the style to be right.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS


 Mrs John Keefe of Hastings, N. Y., formerly of this city, is enjoying visit here.
 The Hogan brothers, the well known performers, left last week for Chicago where they joined the Bar low minstrels.
 The Goodrich circus arrived in town early this morning and immedi- ately started to pitch it's tents on the vacant lot on Bank street near the electric light station. The usual crowd of small boys was around watching everything and enjoying themselves immensely.
 -The members of the altar boys team of St Patrick's church are in dignant at the statement made by members of the St Thomas altar boys team that they were to blame for the postponement of the game between those teams last Saturday. The game was scheduled to take place i'll the afternoon. Some of the players on the St P2trick team wished to see the state league game in the after noon and consequently message was sent Saturday morning to the St Thomas team asking them to play in the morning. The manager of the St Thomas team said he couldn't get his players together in time to play in the morning. The St Patrick team was at Riverside park in the afternoon, but the St Thomas boys failed to show up. It was simply q case of misunderstanding. The St Patrlck's altar boys are trying to ar range a game with the St Thomas al- tar boys for Saturday afternoon and with the Sacred Heart altar boys for Saturday morning. They expect to win two victories easily.

LoUBET IN RUSSIA.
Warm Reception Accorded French
 President and Officers.

President and Officers.
 TSARSKOE SELO, Russia. May 21. -The czar and President Loubet have arrived here. The czar accompanied his guest to the palace where Presi- dent Loubet will reside. The president of France subsequently called upon the czar and the czarina.
 The French naval officers have been accorded reception from the people, only a degree less enthusiastic than that given to President Loubet himself. Russian naval officers are fraternizing with the Frenchmen and accompany ing them on excursions to points of interest about St. Petersburg. The sight of the French uniform is every where the sign for an ovation.
 It is considered probable that the French squadron will return home by way of Copenhagen and that in any case it will avoid passing through the Kiel canal.

SOLDIERS REWARDED
THREE COLONELS ARE MADE
 BRIGADIER GENERALS.
Amos S. Kimball, Chambers Mo Kibbin and Charles c. Hood Served in Civil War and Re-
 cent Conflict with Spain.

Washington, Oct. 2.-In recognition Of their long and honorable service in the army, the President has directed the ad- vancement to the grade of Brigadier General of Col. Amos s. Kimball, of the Quartermasters Department, Col. Cham bers McEibbin, 24th infantry and Col. Charles c. Hood, 16th infaDtry.
 This action is made bossible by the refinement of Brigadier General William H. Bishee, who is now on his way home from the Philippines and who was re- tired yesterday.
 All the officers named are near the re- tiring age, and but for the action Of the President would have retired in their present rank of Colonel. All of them saw service in the civil war, as well as dur ing the recent war with Spain.
 Colonel Kimball entered the army in lS61 as first lieutenant of the 9Sth New York infantry. During and since the Spanish war he had charge of the De- pot of supplies at New York.
 Colonel McKibben is a native of Penn sylyania and entered the army in 1862 as a private. He was a brigader general of volunteers during the Spanish war.
 Colonel Hood began his military service in 1861 as a private in the 31st Ohio in- fantry and was honorably mustered out as a captain in July, 1865, subsequently becoming a captain in the fist regular in fantry. He is at present in command Of the post at Fort McPherson, Ca.
 General Bisbee reached the grade of RriRadier General in October, 1901, rising from a private in the 18th regular in fantry. He is a native of Rhode Island

Demand to Be Made on That

Attorney General Knox, Only Cab inet Member Who Will Attend
 the Conference to Be Held
 in Washington Today.

Birmingham. Ala. Oct 2-In pursuance of resolutions adopted last night by the Executive Board of Alabama District No. 20. United Mine Workers, 1,SOO men were called out of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company's mines in 25O0 men idle on the Tennessee Compa- ny's rolls, 300 at No. Pratt, and 400 at West Pratt having quite a week or more ago.
 The question at issue is the deduction of $1 assessment from the miners wages for the benefit of the anthracite strikers. the Tennessee Company refus- ing to make the deduction without a signed warrant from each man.
 A mass meeting of the Sloss- Sheffield Company's men was held today and ad- dresses were made by National Board member Fairley and District President Flynn. Out of 1900 miners employed by this company about 900 were present, and it is said large majority voted in favor of deducting the assessment. A Commit tee was appointed to see the members who have declined to pay the assess ment with the object of whipping them into line. As soon as the canvass is made the matter will be laid before President Mayben, and if he refuses to deduct the assessment from all the miners wages. a strike at that company will be precipi- tated.
 President Bacon of the Tennessee Com- pany declined to be interviewed today. He left for New York this afternoon.

NEW TOBACCO TRUST
RYAN TALKS OF THE INTERNA-
 TroNAL COMBINE.
Americans Become Shareholders in British Concern, MT. Duke Be- ing One of Three Directors
 from the United States.

New York, Oct. 2.-An authorized state ment regarding the agreement between the American and British Tobacco Com panies was made today by Thomas F. Ryan who returned on Tuesday from London.
 Mir. Ryan said that the statements made in several 0f the papers on the morning after his arrival, purporting to quote his interpretation of the agree ment in London, were inaccurate and in some respects misleading. As to the condition under which the new agree ment was formed he said today:
 'The agreement made between the rep resentatives of the Imperial Tobacco Company of England on the one hand and the Consolidated Tobacco Company on the other was mutual in Its character and entirely satisfactorily to both sides. The agreement means the union of the representatives of an important business in Great Britain and America for the purpose of seeking trade hand in hand throughout the world My visit grew out of an invitation extended to me in July last by the directors of the British com pany. The agreement made to transfer to the Imperial Tobacco Company the business of the Consolidated Tobacco Company in England was made for full and satisfactory consideration. The American company becomes a large shareholder in the English company with three representatives on it's board of di- rectors, one of whom is MT. Duke.
 "The Consolidated Tobacco Company will pursue It's bushes in the American field, including not only the United States but Cuba. Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines without competition from the English company. The Imperial com pany will not encounter the competition Of the American company in the busi- ness of the United Kingdom. In the new British-American Company the British company has one-third of the stock and the American company has two-thirds. The Board of Directors consists of six representatives of the British company and twelve of the American with Mir. Duke as its president, who remains abroad to perfect the organization This British-American Company win take over the entire business of the Imperial com panv and of the Consolidated company in all foreign countries and in the colonies of Great Britain. including India, Can ada and Australia"

 Up Salt River
 "OLly yesterday one of the mammoth establishments, the National Salt Con- pany, had little business before a court of equity in New Jersey. The organiza- tion of that trust in 1889 was looked upon everywhere as a step in the direc- tion of monopolizing the necessaries of life.
 "If the day of settlement has already come to so many of these once formidable institutions. now has 1t fared with those which have so far survived the test? AL ready the evidence is accommodating from which tho doom of the trusts can be fore told, even the most solvent and best man. aged of them all. The figures of the cen sus show that neither in the mercantile nor the manufacturing world has the small dealer who owns his business and gives 1t his personal attention, anything to fear in competition with the over grown and top-heavy investments of cap ital that surround him.
 There is no room in this discussion for vain exclamations of alarm and despair Up to this time the tariff policy to which we owe the prosperous conditions which now surround us, has been the ally of independent capital, in its grapple with the modern trust system; but if the day should ever come when the productive en- ergies of the American people are inn potent in the presence of monopoly, the protection which for more than a genera ton our laws has given to all our indus tries alike is not likely to remain to en- rich such a conspiracy of avarice and gI eed."

WASHINGTON CONFERENCE.
Knox Will Be Only Cabinet Member
 Present.

Washington, Oct k2.-"It Is expected that all the men to whom invitations were sent yesterday will be present at the conference tomorrow. MT. Baer and Mitchell have accepted"
 This was the only statement that could be made at the White House today re- garding the conference which will be held tomorrow.
 Senator Quay of Pennsylvania, was in conference with the President for an hour today and it Is understood that he came at the request of the President to discuss the strike situation. The Presi- dent and Senator were interrupted by two cabinet officers who called to see the President while the conference was in progress. Senator Quay would not dis cuss the situation or express an opinion as to the probable effect of the coming conference.
 During the day Secretary Root. Attor- ney General Knox and Secretary Shaw were in conference with the President. Secretary Wilson was at the White House for a short time, but the first three re- nained with the President for nearly an hour It Is understood that the Presi- dent discussed the subject of the con ference tomorrow. the cabinet officers making a number of suggestions as to what the President should say to those who participate in it.
 Other matters outside of the coal strike also occupied the attention of the mem- bers of the cabinet. There has been no regular meeting of the cabinet for some time and considerable department busi- ness awaits the action of the President.
 It has been decided that Attorney Gen eral Knox shall attend the conference tomorrow between the President, the coal operators and MT. Mitchell of the min CTS union He will be the only member of the cabinet who will be present.
 Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner of La bor, who recently made an investigation of the strike situation. also will attend on the invitation of the President. While every one connected with the administra- tion is extremely reticent concerning the coming conference, there is feeling of hope among those close to the President that it is going to result in settlement of the strike This hope is based on the acuteness of the situation and the neces- sitv that exists for settlement, along with the known determination of the President to bring about an end of the present labor controversy If such thing be possible.
