OF AUTHORITIES.

Washington. Sept 5. - Minister

partment that some Of the European
powers have landed marines IN Con
stantinople. II the lives of Americans

States government also will send a de
tachment OF marines to Constantine
pie.
Minister I.eishman also cabled that
owing to the disturbed conditions in
Constantinople an additional kavase,
or detective force. had been stationed
at the American legation.
This action was taken on the sug
gestion of the Turkish government,
which has assured the American min
lister that 1t will use every precaution
10 protect all foreigners, bat has
warned the different embassies and
legations that it would be we'll to
strengthen their forces.
In case a necessity develops 1t Is
possible that the Turkish government
Will be requested to allow the United
States to send detachment of ma
rines from the squadron which IS ex-
pect6d 10 arrive at Beirut SnOftly.
Minister Leishman has not yet made
such a request OF this government.
The United States has no authority
to send Q warship through the Dar-
danelles and would have to have the
consent of Turkey and also that OF the
European powers to do so.
While the situation existing at Con-
stantinople, as well as other portions
Of Turkey, Is extremely unsatisfactory
the Washington government does not
believe there is any serious danger
ahead. Notwithstanding the tone OF
the dispatch from Minister Leishman
shows uneasiness. At the same time
the United States will approve every
precaution taken by the diplomatic
corps and our minister for the safety
OF the foreign representatives.

FOREMAN MILLER MueT co.
VIII Be Dismissed Because of Charges
Filed Against Him.

Washington, Sept. 5.-Foreman Mil
Ter OF the government printing office
probably will be dismissed this week
and this action will end a case which
came near preciptating strike of the
bookbinders employed in the govern
ment printing office.
This is the opinion of officials who
are thoroughly posted on the situation
and who have had this troublesome
scase under consideration. Such action
will be a partial victory for the book
binders, in that they succeed in get
ting rid of man who Is obnoxious to
them. but Miller's dismissal will be
due to charges brought against his
character and not because he was ex-
PEELED from the labor union.

VISITING FROM ENGLAND.

George Andrew, Member of the South
 port, England, County Council, in This
 City-Interesting Details of the Work
 house System in England.
 George Andrew Of Southport. Man chester, England, along with his daugh- ter. Miss Jessie Andrew. arrived Sun day on the steamship Arabic of the White Star line. They are the guests of MT. and Mrs. William L. Andrew Of 31 Carmel street. MT. Andrew is one of the leading hat manufacturers of Great Britain and is here partly on business and partly for pleasure. He is mem Der of the Southport county council and is chairman of the workhouse commit tee. During his stay here he will make enquiries as to the system of operating the town farm. which stands in about the same position iii this country as does the Workhouse in England. He tells some interesting facts regarding the methods of housing the poor in England as compared with this country. For in stance. any one in destitute eircum- stances can compel the guardians of the parish to Whih they belong to give them shelter and food in the home. The law there, MT. Andrew states, is that each inmate shall have certain quantity of food every day and in many cases the patrons of these pauper establishments insist that the officials weigh out their food for them. Another pleasing feat ure of the workhouse law in England is that married couples who have reached the age of sixty years and upwards can- not be separated but are privileged to spend the few remaining years of their allotted span together. The shelter and training of orphan children is another fine feature of the county council man. agement of which MT. Andrew is the chairman. This department is divided into cottage homes, some five children being allotted to a cottage. where they are under the supervision of matron, whose duty is to act as mother to the children The idea being to bring them up in these homes in the same way and manner in which they would have been brought up had their parents lived. They attend the public schools the same as other children, and at the homes are taught to mend their clothes, cook, and in. fact do everything that will fit them to go out into the world to earn their living and make good citizens of their country
 This is MT. Williams second visit to the City of Films. Next Monday he starts for Canada, where he expects to be for a couple of weeks, when he will return to New Haven. where he will stay until h sails for England by the Celtic in September.

ROLLING LIFT BRIDGE.
Successful Test Made at Bridgeport

Successful Test Made at Bridgeport
 Yesterday Afternoon
 The matter of lift bridge is at the present time of much interest to New Haveners by reason of the recent order Of the secretary of war to construct a new bridge on Kimberly avenue. The new rolling lift bridge to be used by the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad in Bridgeport when the new tracks are laid was successfully tested yesterday. The Bridgeport Standard has the following:
 The new rolling lift bridge across the Pequonnock river was tested this after noon by representatives of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company, the Pennsylvania Steel com pany, the General Electric company, the scherzer Rolling Lift Bridge com pany and the John J. O'Brien Con- tracting company. As the bridge is really in two sections, the northwest side, known as the north rolling lift, was first tested and it was operated successfully.
 The bridge has been in the course of construction for over year. However, the delay has not caused any other de- lays, for the other contractors are also behind time Although the bridge proper is completed, finishing touches which will consume a few weeks more time, are necessary. The trestle work on either side of the bridge is not f1n- ished and until it is the bridge cannot be used The present indications are that it will be late in the fall or early ir1 the winter before the trains will be run over the bridge.
 Among those present at the test this afternoon in their official capacities were c. E. IngersoIl, the railroad com- pany's chief engineer of construction; < Fred w. Cohen, the Pennsylvania Steel conpany's engineer of erection; C. Fanton, representing the General Electric company, and w. H. Moor and Ernest WiggiTs, railroad company's bridge experts, and a representative of the Scherzer Rolling Lift Bridge com paIiy of Chicago, from whose plans the bridge was built.
 The new rolling lift bridge is the second of that style of bridge to be built in New England, the other being a six track affair at Boston where it has proved great improvement over the old style draw bridges. The new bridge is made of segment of wheel, carrying as load, the great steel girders, which form the structure. A rocker of large radius, which, when it rocks back to lift up and thus open, the bridge rolls or rocks on steel track set in the masonry of the pier which supports it. This type of bridge is so perfectly balanced with a counter weight that it requires as much force to lower them back to their places as it does to elevate them.
