THE DAY AT NIANTIC.
Second and Third Regiments Have the
 Same Markings.

Ft- Same Markings.
 Mantle, Aug 11.-After the excellent weather of yesterday the spirits of the men of the Connecticut National guard at Camp Chamberlain were somewhat dampened this morning when they awoke at reveiHaA to find 8 slight rain falling, with prospect os continued showers during the day. About o'clock, however, the sun ap- peared fora few minutes and though the sky soon became overcast again, the conditions were not unfavorable for enjoyment of camp life.
 The arrival of Governor Chamber lain at 3 :35 o'clock this afternoon was the chief event of interest on the days program aside from the routine of camp duty. It was arranged that Brigadier General Frost and staff with the First regiment as escort should meet the govsrnor at the station, and that the troops should receive him at camp in full brigade formation, the governors salute being fired also.
 In accordance with orders issued by General Frost last evening, the guards began the special drills which are to be continued through the week. At 7:30 the First regiment went to the eastern end of the camp ground, pitch ed camp. there and threw up hasty intrenchments. They made a regula- ton camp with shelter tents, emitting the tents of commissioned and non commissioned officers, and indicated the location of kitchen sinks and filled hospitals. An hour later they broke camp and returned to quarters. Meanwhile the Third infantry was sent to the rifle range, where field for tifications were constructed, and the Second and Fourth infantry were drill ed in extended order. '|
 A similar program of duty will be required throughout the week. On Wednesday the Second infantry will pitch camp, the Fourth will have field work, and the First and Third will drill on the parade ground. On Thurs day, the Fourth will leave the camp pitching drill, the First will do field work and the Second and Third will drill. The Third will pitch camp on Friday, while the Second will have field work, and the First and Fourth drill.
 The result of yesterdays inspection was announced this morning as fol- lows:
 Signal corps, policing 100, quarters, 100.
 First infantry, policing, 1OO,, quart CTS, SS.
 Second infantry, policing 99, quart CTS. 1OO
 Third infantry, policing 100; quarters 99
 Fourth infantry, policing 99, quart CTS, 96.

 The general health of the camp is good, the Fourth regiment having a clean bill. Private Kleinkus of Guil- ford, of the X battery whose foot was badly bruised yesterday while unload ing a gun, was discharged from the hospital to-day, his injuries being less severe than was at first feared
 Early this morning Private Frank Hayes of Company E. Second regi- ment, New Haven, was struck by train sustaining a compound fracture of the ankle. He was treated at the camp hospital and was later sent to I the New Haven hospital

 DEAL IN ALASKA
The Company Is aLocal Concern Owned By Residents and Will Employ Alaskan
 Fishermen and Workingmen.

A meeting of the stockholders of the Northern Flsh Trap company was held in Seattle ln connection with the eOmmuni- cation from Wrangell, In which the Wrangell chamber of commerce stated that If the company was to organize here, en- gage all of its men here and pay all their wages In Seattle, In justice to the residents of Southeastern Alaska and for the preser- vatlon of the employment of fishermen In the North, 1t would be necessary to boycott Seattle merchants SO long as a local eoni' pany sought to do all the fishing of the district to the dstrlment of the interests there.
 After the meeting Capt. W. A. Cornell, head of the company made the following statement;

MYSTERY
Bloody Hands Upon the Door
 and Walls.

Phil Abrahams Is the agent of a cottage near the old power house. Several months ago the tenants vacated the house and de- llvsrsd the keys to Mr. Abrahams. At that time everything about the premises was In good order. Yesterday hs went to the cottage to show lt to a contemplating renter. Entering the front door he felt a draft pouring through the house and ths back door slammed. He went to the rear Of the house and discovered tat the back door had been broken open. To accom- pllsh this the honse breakers had cut a silt h wire screen door of the shed al the back of the house and had then prlsd open the door with a fender of a heating stove Before doing 80 they had jammsd In one Of the panels, evidently to see lf the dor could be opsnei by inserting a hand.
 The table was strewh with playing cards, bits of candle were left here and there about the premises, and the stubs of cigarettes were scattered about the floor, But there was blood, blood and berlud, here and there about the premises. and especially bloody hand marks upon the toors and walls. While lt Is hardly prob able that an this Is the relies Of foul murther, there must certainly have been frantic fight within the premises and it Is likely that It resulted from a card game.

man ln our employ In Alaska. During the fishing season we will pay our wages In Alaska, weekly or monthly, as the case may be.
 "At the present time a very small per- eentage of the men engaged In furnishing the eaunsrIss of Southeastern Alaska with fish are residents of the district. Most of them come from Seattle and other points. They get their pay for their work To the North just as we propose to give t to them. They will be there during the time thev are working for us just a; though they were working on thelr own account.
 "At the price the eannerlts of the North have beeu paying for fish and the fight the Independent plants have on with ths Alaska Packers association many of the former will not be able 10 operate this wear. Now lf we can go In and by doing our business cn a wholesale scale arc enabled to sell So the elnneriss at price that will permit of their working thls season then there will be more Alaska labor employed, than If these same cannshss have to close. Thsv feel that they will have to, unless the conditions are improved,
 "Almost every dollar we pay out during the season for labor will be In Alaska and other than the fact that there are few Seattle men interested in the corporation Alaska will receive the direct benefit of our corporation. The whole trouble comes through the fact that the persons making the complaint at Wrangell have mlsundsf. stood our plans and purposes"

LOCAL MARKETS.

The local markets closed with a clean sheet yesterday. There were no new de- velopments in cotton and stocks and bonds were all unchanged.
 Staple groceries are steady. There have been few changes during the week Most of these fluctuations concerned dry salt meats and lard Feed stuffs showed a ten- dency to veer about once or twice but as a whole the market has been very quiet
 Fruit has sold well on Morris avenue during the past week. although bananas were slow proposition. California ship ments have not been so heavy as hereto fore, but dealers have kept well supplied. The season for several summer staples has closed, and in a few more weeks the fall shipments will begin to arrive Pears have been a feature of the market Both the California varieties and the Keifers have been very fine and have commanded a good price. Peaches are practically out of the running. but pipeapples have been plentiful. A few new apples were on the market but were soon disposed of at good figure.
 In vegetables cabbage has been the most active line. but prices have held steady at 1 to 11zc per pound.
 Poultry and eggs closed steady and un- changed.

opments of the market today it looks now as though there was no question about the attitude of the New Orleans pool on September cotton in New York. Shortly before Il o'clock MT. Brown came into the pit and bid September up to 11-4S. This Is the first time he has taken the ring into his confidence regarding this month, and his action this morning simplifies the situation considerably. He had a short conversation with Sully on the floor shortly before he went into the pit and with two such important inter- ests working in harmony there is little utility in attempting to oppose opera tions. The congestion will continue until enough new cotton comes in from the new crop to be a weight Tn the market. It will not be a difficult matter to bring about the crash in the market after cot ton begins to move, but until this cotton is available, the fact that MT. Brown owns the cotton in New York gives the manipulators opportunity to advance prices just as far as they See fit. Spot cotton Is quoted at 12%c. On Monday, August will be off the board. There is usually a difference of half a cent be- tween the price of spots and immediate futures. Either September must go up or the price of spot cotton come down. From today's developments it looked very much as though the price of Sep tember would be put up a cent or so. In a market of this kind a cent or two does not appear to be a matter of much i'm portance. With advance in September. October is likely to move up and we may see another scare in December and Jan uary. While not disposed to the buying side of the market we certainly would not hazard the side until there has been a sharp advance.
