 -The Other Features of Yesterdays 's
 Musical Feasfs.
 The closing day of the big music fes- tival was replete with strong attrac- tions, and most delightful musical pro- grammes were rendered. The weather for the festival has been of the finest, promoting the attendance and the en- thusiasm, and the festival has proven a great success throughout, well repaying the management for it's unwearying and devoted labors in the cause.
 All. regretted that MT. Skiff was not present, but a telegram was received stating that he would be unable to ap- pear owing to severe cold. His two numbers were therefore omitted.
 The only local musician yesterday was Miss Emma Merrill White. Her rendition of Parsons "The Gold Fish, and Hungarian Etude," by MacDow- ell, called forth prolonged applause and she received beautiful bouquet of pink carnations.
 She is a performer of no small ex- perience and yesterday displayed a we'll developed technique together with a mental concepiion which was quite professional. Her first number was "The Gold Fish, a recent work of her present instructor, Professor B. A. Parsons, which she gave with brillian- of E,,i1 eho "a heard in a more extended programme.
 A notable fact was observed throughout the festival, that all of the pianists from this state are or have been pupils of MT. Parsons.
 Miss Wallenta, of Bridgeport, sang Rose Fable" by Hawley, with great deal of expression and she was heartily encored. Miss Helen Davis. of Hart ford. has rich soprano voice and her song, "The Enchanted Spinner" won as much applause as any number on the morning programme. The other num- bers on the programme were La More lla" and t'Valse Brillante" by Miss Lil- Han F. Courtright, of Bridgeport; two more pieces by the same persons, three songs by Miss Burbank and recitative and air from "Nadeschda" by Miss Weller. ~,
 The appearance of Miss Courtright was greeted with the heartiest ap- plause. Her touch was remarkably good and she played La Morena," by Charninade, and Chopin's ''Valse Bril- lante" with excellent execution and an expression not to be rivalled Miss Co,1rt ripnt reoaiyad inst as haartv Q welcome at her second appearance and her rendering of Beethoven's Andante and LavalIe's Butterfly" aroused much enthusiasm.
 Miss c. Augusta Burbank sang three German songs with 8 great deal of ex- pression. Miss Burbank's voice is a rich contralto. Her expression of Schu- bert's "Der Lindebaum'' and Schu- mann's 'Ich Grolle Nicht" and "Frueh- linsnacht" was excellent.

AT TWO O'CLOCK.

A pleasing innovation for the festival was the combined appearance of the Yale University, Apollo and Freshman Glee, Banjo and Mandolin clubs, which joined in giving very enjoyable con- cert at 2 o'clock, the audience being the largest of the series Possibly the in- crease was due to the fact that the management concluded to sell tickets for this and the remaining concerts for the sum of one dollar, although the un- derstanding had been that none but full season tickets, of which 2,O00 had been issued, should be sold.
 That the large audience greatly en- joyed the change from the strenuous classical programmes maintained most of the time was shown by the generous and animated applause that greeted each of the numbers.
 = An excellent selection was the ''Tutti- Fruit" so programmed, in which the entire forces of the various clubs join- ed. The solos were good and the effect of the voices and instruments was fine ly effected
 The White Crow" by the University Banjo club. was a we'll played number and MT. Bryant's solo in the selection which followed was well sung. The George Washington number was hu- morous to a high degree, while Pete" Farnum added the finishing touches by way of few dancing steps at the con- clusion of each verse.
 The Mandolin club, with the addition of several violins, played delightfully."- two numbers, and the double yodle by Messrs. Read and Ellsworth was espe- cially good and was re-demanded.
 Something in the way of up-to-date vaudeville was introduced in Negro Melodies" by the quartette composed of Messrs. Reynolds, Wiggin, Holmes and Weston, and MT. Wiggin scored hit with his "shut-the-door" invention.
 The medley of topical songs and the closing number, Bright College Years, '' the latter bringing out the entire vocal forces, were features and showed the careful training the men had received under Professor Shepard's training. While for the time being art had left its high realm. no one present would have missed the exception opportunity of hearing these capital organizations of, Yale. <"... -

against Curtis Jet, on trial for the as
sassination of James Cockrill, which
had been out since 2:44 p. m. Judge
Osborne and the crowd had begun to
think that hung jury was the result
of their deliberations, and the judge
ordered the jury to be brought in that
he might hold them over until We'd
nesday. They sent back word that
they would be in inside of five min
utes. and they filed slowly in at that
time They took their accustomed

A terrible quiet reigned for few
moments Jett's mother had gone
away earlier under the impression that
no verdict would be reached. and the
verdict of death, coming in a little
more than two hours after the jury
was out, was a surprise to every one
in the house. Jet sat quiet and his
lower lip trembled and he slowly turn

polled, which was done. The judge
asked each Juror when his name was

man replied that it was his own YER

man of the jury. He has been mag

PANAMA CANAL TREATY.
1t Is Feared at the State Department
That 1t Is Dead.

Washington, Sept. 23.--When the
state department closed Tuesday at
o'clock it was agreed that the Panama
canal treaty was dead, although eight
hours yet remained within which the
Colombian congress might take affirm
alive action upon it. Nothing, how
ever, had been received during the
day, either from Minister Beaupre, at
Bogota, or from Mr.. Herran. the Co
lombian charge here, which gave the
slightest hope of favorable issue. A
report is current here that the Colon
bian congress, in secret session, has
clothed President MarrOquin with full
power to negotiate treaty. II this
report should turn out to be true, Pres
ident Marroquin, who is counted a
friend of the treaty, could proceed I'M
trammeled by the fear of future reck-
oning with his congress. In any event,
President Roosevelt must now take
the next, step. He can elect to pro-
coed under the Spooner act and take
up the Nicaraguan route or he can al
low matters to drift for the present
in the hope that way may yet be
found to straighten out the present diff
ficulties in the path of the Panama
route.
Contrary to his custom during the
summer. Acting Secretary Adee, of the
state department, remained in the city
Tuesday night in order to be on hand
to act promptly on any information
which might come from Mr.. Beaupre
regarding canal matters at BOgota.
Up to half-past 9 o'clock, however,
nothing had been received. Dr. Her
ran, the Colombian charge, also waited
anXiOusly for news from his govern
ment, but likewise was disappointed.
Colombia, it is known, is anxious to
keep alive the canal negotiations.
What form her new proposition with
that object in view will take is not
known in Washington. One interest
ing feature in connection with the leg
islative situation lin Colombia is the
fact that the terms of one-third Of the
members of the senate, numbering
nine, will expire on the goth day Of
next July, when the life of the present
congress ends. These nine senators,
it is said, are adverse TO the canal
treaty. The hope of the advocates of
the treaty will be to elect senators in
their place who are favorable to the
convention. 1t is expected that the
campaign for the legislatures will be
made on this issue.

BULGARIAN DEMANDS.
Turkey Shows Signs of Yield.
ing to Them.
In the Meantime DeVastations BY Fire
and Sword Continues, in Many In
stances Persons Being Slowly
Roasted Alive.

London, Sept 23.-The Balkan sit
uation Wednesday presents some
what puzzling aspect Turkey is show
ing signs of yielding to the Bulgarian
demands, and it is evident from the
daily meeting of the council of minis
ters at Yildiz Kiosk that some sort Of
negotiations are in progress. VITA the
object of averting war
According to dispatch to the Daily
Mail from ConsSantinople these corn-
ellis concern two possibilities-either
to make an arrangement satisfactory
to the Macedonians or obtain from
the great powers promises of neutral
ity if it is found impossible to avoid
a war.
Apparently both Turkey and Bulga-
ria are anxious to repudiate having
taken the initiative in the negotia-
tons.
The Sofa correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph asserts that the Overtures
came from Turkey and were welcomed
by the Bulgarian minister on the con
ditiCn that deeds were substituted for
words and that the cessation of whole
sale massacres should become an ac-
complished fact
He adds that a specific solution, if
it comes, will emanate from Constan-
tinople, where the Bulgarian repre-
sentatives are invested with full pow
ere and negotiations are said to be
proceeding satisfactorily.
The same correspondent says in the
meantime devastations by fire and
sword continue and the Bulgarian gov
eminent has received from trust
worthy sources a gruesOme tale Of
massacres, tortures, indignities and
burnings, in many instances the vic
tins being slowly roasted alive.
The assertion is made in another
Sofia telegram that the sultan will is
sue an trade on Thursday, granting
the demand for a mixed commission,
but this statement is not confirmed
and would seem to be negatived by tue
dispatches from Constantinople.
A Monastir correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle, writing September Is,
says the Bulgarian list of villages pill
LACED and burned reaches a total of
104.
According to dispatch from Odessa
the whole Russian Black Sea fleet is
kept on a war footing in readiness for
any eventuality.

GEN. cHAFFEE's ANNUAL REPORT
Makes Suggestions in Regard to Sol
diers' Uniforms.

Washington, Sept 2S.-The annual
report of Maj. Gen. Adna R. Chaffee,
the commanding general of the depart
ment of the east, urges that after the
adoption of a uniform it shall be ad
hered to without constant changes and
alterations. Gen. Chaffee states that
the time seems opportune for the adop-
ton of a pack in lieu of the blanket
roll for foot troops. He describes the
present condition as discreditable.
The blanket roll, in his opinion. is an
inconvenient thing. He also recon-
mends that the cartridge belt be car
ried on braces in order that the weight
may be transferred to the shoulders.
Seven officers and ], 483 men were
tried by general court-martial during
the year Two officers and 70 men
were acquitted. The number of men
tried for desertion was 1913. The NUM-
Der tried by summary court was 49,
142. of which 2,548 were convicted of
drunkenness.
