We want to be In New York on time,

EMPEROR AT FOSEN
Polish Citizens Turn a Cold
Shoulder to William.
EXPECTED DISORDER UNREALIzED.
German Residents Give Their Ruler
a Fitting Reception-Nothing OF
"a Political Nature Said
or Dome.

POSEN, Sept. 3.-The emperor and
empress of Germany have entered the
provincial Polish capital, the German
faction of the city cheering, ringing
bells and waving flags and handker-
chiefs to welcome them. The Polish
majority of the people was silent and
looked gloomily at the brilliant show
from houses without decorations. Not
one disorderly cry was heard.
The vague expectations of insult to
the emperor or tumult among the peo-
pie of this city which have been limited
at by newspapers and inferred from
the unusual police arrangements for
the protection of his majesty and
which began two months ago We're
mistaken and not realized.
Nothing but decorous reception was
accorded their majesties by the mod
crate sized crowds which were banked
behind the double rows of troops on
either side of the, streets leading from
the railroad station to the residence of
the commanding general, about two
miles away. There We're in all about
5000 infantrymen present, and En-
peror Williams entrance to Posen was
German festival His majesty
lodged in the residence of the COM
manding general.
This visit of the emperor Is made to
give the Germans heart in their pas
sionate race dispute. The Germans of
Posen poured out subscriptions for the
beautiful decorations consisting of
flower pieces and ropes of evergreen
looped from mast to- mast along nearly
the entire length of the emperor's line
Of march. Nearly every German girl
in Posen was wearing a black, white
and red SASH but the Polish mobiles of
the city closed their town houses and
withdrew to their country estates.
The empress, who preceded her hus-
band in a carriage, looked especially
well in a light gray costume and bowed
to the people continually. Emperor
William, in the white uniform of the
Garde du Corps, rode alone, walking
his horse slowly. He is thought to
have shown much courage in this. Be
hind him on horseback or in carriages
We're fifty Of the great personages of
the empire, princes, secretaries of state
and generals.
Nothing was said or done of political
import. 1t is understood that the
burgomaster of Posen, Herr Wittig,
had prepared long address in which
he reviewed the race question, but
when this was revised in Berlin every
thing except a bare allusion to this
question was eliminated

noises and nuisances and dangers of
the trolley closed and Mr. Wales de-
parted without any suggestions from
the board to stop the complaints.
Chief Snagg was granted leave for
ten days to attend convention of fire
engineers to be held in New York very
soon.
1t was in the air then to adjourn,
but Commissioner Hardie said he had
a word to say. He then said he was
not. present at the last meeting and
that he would have opposed the vote
passed regarding the examining of the
policemen were he there. He wished
to state that in his opinion it was all
wrong and he hoped the board would
rescind the vote. The only benefit in
the matter was to be derived by the
doctors. If policeman was unfit he
ought to be dismissed Anyway, to
make the most of it, the examination
would not amount to much. Commits
sioner Hardie talked on in this manner
for some time when he was interrupt
! ed by Commissioner Taylor asking
what grounds he had for making such
statement. Commissioner Hardie
was going to buckle into Commissioner
Taylor when the chair ruled him out Of
OIueTs ana IudI u1SpOSSu oA II.
Commissioners Taylor and Hardie
were appointed committee on buttons
to act with the committee on uniforms
for the call fire force.
Again 1t was In the air to adjourn
when Commissioner Reeves moved that
a committee be appointed to grade and
investigate the call fire force. He said
that this branch of the fire department
was far from being up to the mark Of
efficiency. The motion was seconded
by Commissioner Beach, who said it
was not fair that new member should
be paid as much as q member of ex-
perience. He would suggest also to
grade the paid force. Commissioners
Tavlor. Hardie and Reeves were ap-
pointed a committee.
Commissioner Hardie then moved
that the time be extended for the call
fire force to get their uniforms. This
motion was not seconded, whereupon
the board adjourned.

for the successful career of his latter
life. He is not what is considered q
rich man, but with modest tastes, has
acquired a competency sufficient to
permit him to command his own time.
There is little doubt at this stage of
things that he will be nominated. And
If elected, he will take the interests OF
the people of Connecticut right home
to himself. While he will be prominent
in good works in those matters which
make for the good of the nations in
terests, Connecticut and her people
will have the best he has In him.
Born within so short q distance from
the Nutmeg state, he adopted it at the
outset of his career. Every dollar he
has in the world is in Connecticut real
estate. Such men Connecticut has
looked upon with pardonable pride in
the past
Forty-thre years ago on July 27, In
the little town of Oxford Mass, Just
about mile from the Connecticut
state line George r. Lilley of Water
bury saw the light of day for the first
time. And it is recorded in the annals
of his family that he looked ott boldly
at it without any of the hesitation
that characterizes young men of that
age, as though he audit were going to
be good friends. And from that time
to this they have been. Not a thing
in his life is there that will not bear
the light of day.
That's Lilley all over. He's square,
straightforward, honorable business
man, man that one looks at twice in
q crowd, genial, magnetic, unfiinehing
In his loyalty. That's the sort of man
the republicans propose to nominate
for congressman at large from Con-
necticut. And in SO doing they do
well.

MILITARY BASKETBALL LEAGUE


New Haven, Sept 3.-Captain George
E. Hall of the New Haven Light
Guard is in receipt of a communication
from John FL. Morrison, first sergeant,
Co A, of the Second regiment, at Wa
terbury, relative to the formation of a
state military basketball league. 1t
is proposed that the league be com
prised of teams representing compa-
MES in New Haven, Waterbury, Hart
ford, Meriden and Bridgeport. The
opinion is expressed by Mr. Morrison
that the cities mentioned could be rep
sented with the possible exception of
Bridgeport, and that city would have
a team known as the "Yanigans,"
which Is an outside team but a very
good one and has an excellent reputa-
ton. 1t is argued that tue cities men
toned are within easy distance of one
another, and that the travelling facili-
, ties are good. This would make it
very convenient for members of the
teams to play in the evening and still
return to their own homes the same
night.
Military companies In the several
cities mentioned have also been inter
rogated on the subject and it is likely
that the suggestion win result In the
formation of the proposed league
A league of this kind If properly
conducted and composed of strong
teams, would doubtless be financial
success and furnish plenty OF whole.
some amusement for the public. The
local Light Guard team was one of the
best In the city last year, and with
something more to gain than at any
previous time there would be greater
contest for places on the team, hence
| 1t would be stronger than last year
and stand good chance for winning
the league championship. The mem
bers OF the team expressed themselves
last night as being favorable to the
proposal A meeting of representa-
| tives will soon be held for the purpose
of adopting schedule and completing
all necessary details.

KIND WORDS FOR LILLEY.
Editor of the Deep River News Says
He VIII Be Nominated.

One of our down the river ex-
changes has the following to say of
our townsman, George L. Lilley:
Mr. Lilley's life has been an interest
ing. active and useful one. He is a
typical American. With mans cour-
age at boys age, he realized that the
impaired kealth of his father made it
imperative that he take upon himself
the responsibility of protecting and
furthering his fathers business. The
story of those early years of strug-
gle is one of those we read about in the
lives of our self-made men. It is one
that any honest American can be
proud to look back to. With a strong
minds craving for education, denied
the easy advantages most boys have,
he neglected no opportunity of priv
ate study and acquired those habits
of reading and the keen observation
and knowledge Of books and men and
things that have SO well fitted him
