SHOT AT MARCEL PREVOST,
Wo man Leaps from Carriage aud Ate
 sacE<s French Author.

Paris, March 30.-Considerable stir was created here this afternoon by the news of an attempt to shoot the well known novelist, Marcel Provost. It appears that as M Provost was enter ing the offices of the Society of Men of Letters in the Rue Aougemont, where the election of officers for the coming year was about to be held, a stylishly dressed young lady, whose name was afterwards given as Emma Touret, alighted quickly from carriage and fired two shots at him, at the same time calling him by name. Both shots missed and the lady was about to fire a third time when M. Provost disarmed her and endeavored to calm her. She was taken temporarily into custody, and explained that she had known M. Provost in London some time ago. His avoidance of her since that time had prompted her to seek to avenge her.. self, but she did not intend to kill the novelist. M. Provost refused to follow up the matter and Mile. Touret was set at liberty, It is stated that the lady's brother vainly tried to force duel on Provost.

GERMANY SATISFIED.
Dewey's Explanations VIII End Incl
 dent--Amerfcan Navy criticised.


 : Berlin, March 30. The foreign office here is fully satisfied with the explana- ton of Admiral Dewey made to Presi- dent Roosevelt regarding the interview with the admiral which appeared re- gently in a. Newark, N. J, paper and in which the Germany navy and the Ger man emperor were mentioned. No communication on the subject has pass- ed between the foreign office and the German embassy at Washington, be- cause the officials here from the begin ming felt certain that if Admiral Dewey had been correctly reported the goyern- ment of the United States would do everything Droper on it's own initiative without any reminder from here.
 Count von Reventlo, in the Tageblatt, to-day compares the German and Amer ican 1ayies. He says fGermany's first squadron is homogeneous and always ready Cor instant service. Tt could E he adds, smash Dewey's heterogeneous assenlblage, which had not single modern armored cruiser The count regards the American manoeuyres as generally childish" and as always re- sulting in defeats of the hostile fleets, the naval commanders therefore gaining large newspaper glory sr
 Count von Reventlo refers. to the poor marksmanship of the west Indian fleet,'' to it's insufficient number of of ficers and men, and to the low morale af the nayv'' as indicated bv the 11JlIls- erous assertions, and says he believes ''the United States will some day have fine fleet, but she has not one yet'o''

Regular Army Officers to Visit Eataona
 Guards of tlse States.
 Washington, March 30.-Prompt and satisfactory responses have been receiv- ed at the war department from adju- tants-general of states and territories to the recent telegraphic inquiry as to when the organized militia will be ready for personal inspection by an army off, ficer, in order to determine the number of magazine arms and equipments to be issued to them under the provisions of the new militia law. With only few ex- captions, the state troops will be ready for the proposed inspection during the month of April, but it is expected that the war department will be able to an- nounce its plans for the inspection in a few days.
 The states which have announced their readiness for inspection, either during April or at the convenience of the war department are: Alabama, Ari- zona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kan sas, Kentucky, Louisviana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan. Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jer- sey, New Mexico, New York, North Car- olina North Dakota Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin
 The militia of the District of Colum- bia, Arizona. Utah, Washington, and Wyoming are already armed with the regulation magazine muskets The mil- itia of Delaware is being re-organized and is not ready for inspection at this time A similar state of. affairs exists in Florida.
 The New Hampshire militia will be encamped at Concord June 15, and it is probable they will be inspected at that time.
 There are 2,065 organizations in the several states, stationed at 1,165 places, making the proposed inspection an un- dertaking of great magnitude.

4 DELAY IN THE
 PEuNELL INQUEST
PRESSUREBRO TO HAVE IT
 INDEFINITELY POSTPONED.

New EurdiclS Witnesses Heard and the Hearing Finally Closed-One Testffies
 That While Drinking PenneIl saids
 "Fhere is One Man Could Kill
 Although I Might Swing for It."
 Buffalo, N. Y, March 30.-Justice Murphy is to announce his findings in the Burdick inquest tomorrow morn ing. No arrests will be made; no war rants will be issued. The courts find ings will be interesting as a closing commentary on the famous case. The inquest was closed formally by Judge Murphy at 10:50 o'clock this morning after hearing the testimony of Quinn and King, the former bartender and cashier of the Hotel Roland in New York, about Pennell's alleged state ment to them of his willingness to kill one man even if he went to the gall lows for it. No other witnesses were, called.
 The Pennell inquest which Judge Murphy had announced would begin this morning was postponed indefinite ly. The reason announced was the ab- sence of witnesses from the city. Dis- trict Attorney Coatsworth was in court with his assistants and stated he was ready to go ahead and that the postponement was not at his request. o1a He was Wallace Thayer,, Pencils at torney and confidential friend up to the time of his death. A dozen or more witnesses in the PenneIl inquest were present ready to give testimony, so if deemed advisable the inquest could have proceeded and at some later day MT. Thayer could have been exam ined.
 Considerable pressure was brought to bear by friends of the Pennells to avert the inquest and postpone it indefinitely if not block it permanently. The ef- forts, of course, had no weight with the court and Judge Murphy's decision not to hold the inquest at present was based on all the circumstances of the case. When the Pennell inquest will be held, if at all, is not settled at the present time. When it is held the probability is that neither in Pennel's papers or effects will anything be pro- duced to throw light on the affairs of Burdick or to add any valuable infor- nation to the Burdick case. The Pen- nell heirs have been reluctant from the ouset to have any of the dead mans papers made public. When Justice Murphy was about to begin the Pen neil inquest last week at the close of the Burdfck inquest Attorney Thomas Penney appeared before Judge Murphy in private and argued earnestly against beginning the inquest at that time and opposed holding any inquest. MT. Pen ney insisted upon the postponement

SAVED FROM DEATH IN SOUND.
British Seaman Rescued by Bridgeport
 Oyafer Boat.

Bridgeport, March S0.-FIad it not
 been for the prompt work of Captain George Potter. of the oyster steamer 1 May S. Lewis, four seamen and an of- ficer of the British tramp steamer Lar | rinaga would undoubtedly have per- ! ished in the sound this afternoon
 Just before daybreak this morning the Larrinaga of Liverpool, bound from water. Four men and an officer put ou f1cer of the British tramp steamer Li- ] ranger would undoubtedly have per- the Liranger, of Liverpool bound from Providence to New York, ran ashore on Stratford shoals and when the tide fell she was in such a position that it was impossible to back her into the { waetr. Four men and an officer put out in a yawl for the Middleground light house for the purpose of getting a pilot to take the steamer down the sound when the high tide f1oated her. There was no pilot at the lighthouse and the boat started back for the steamer. There was a heavy wind blowing from the east at the time and the sea was very rough, in fact it was so severe that the men became exhausted in their efforts to reach their ship. In this predicament they were drifting about and in immediate danger of being swamped when Captain Potter of the
 oyster steamer Mary s. Lewis discov- cred them. He quickly came alongside
 and made a lee for them and heaved a line which the men were able to
 make fast with difficulty. When a fla vorable opportunity presented itself the
 men were taken on board and the oyster steamer then went to the assist ance of the Larrinaga, which was fly ing a signal of distress. A line was thrown on board the tramp and after half an hour of hard work she slipped back into the water, apparently unin-
 jured. The crew of the yawl was trans ferred to their ship and she proceeded to New York.

LOWELL MILL STRIKE.
shut Down of the Seven Largest Con.
 cerns Complete.


 Lowell, Mass, March SO.-organized textile labor to-day showed it's strength in the shut down of the seven largest cotton mills here, and not content with this, the textile council, the delegate body of the local unions, considered the advisability of compelling an even wid- CT application of the shut down by producing a strike in the Lawrence hos iery mill. This hosiery mill was ex- empted from the strike order last week, the knitters' union being permitted to remain neutral as it had shown that it had no grievance either in wags or time schedule. The council tonight did not find the proposition well received and the outlook is not favorable for a strike of the knitters.

Clarence R. Hall, a young man eigh- teen years and six months old, of 124 Howard avenue, committed suicide by shooting himself in the left side of the chest, last evening about 10 o'clock. Hall lived with his parents and one sis ter and was employed at the New Ha- ven Window Shade company. He came home from his work last evening seem- ing1y in the best of spirits. After eating supper he and his sister played games, and about 10 o'clock he retired to his room. "A. few moments afterward the rest Of the family, who in the meantime had also gone to bed. were greatly frightened by hearing a pistol shot coming from Clarenee's room. They rushed to the room where they found the young man lying dead on the floor with pistol ball through his left breast. Ex-Sergeant Orr was in the church next door and he was summoned to the scene. On his arrival he notified Medical Examiner Bartlett, who went to the house. Dr. Bartlett said that death was instantaneous, the bullet having passed directly through the heart. The deed was done with B. calibre revolver. Only one cartridge was used, and only one other was in the revolver.
 The parents could think of no possi- ble reason for their sons act, but Med- ical Examiner Bartlett said last even- ing that it might have been caused by his breeding over Student Fishers sui eide in New York on Sunday. He was young man we'll liked by all who knew him and his many friends will greatly feel his loss.

TREASURE IN DUMPS.
Refuse Yields Up Many Articles Of
Value.

.le experienced observer the scene at
any of the city dumps is one Of chaos.
There is a rot of falling ashes tin cans.
sticks, stones and soiled rags. Hundreds Of
carts dump their loads with rattle and
crash and cloud of gray dust.
1t seems incredible that anything of value
should be recovered from this conglomerate
of ashes, dirt and tin cans still more credi-
BILE is it that one should think of looking for
lost articles in this hodge podge of CRIME
and filth. Yet, finds far from un-
common.
Slverware, not always of the plated va
riety, finds its way to the city dumps. Tea
pots, sugar bowls and spoons have ratified
down the little hilocks along with tin cans
and "cl.nkerS'' from the furnace. In the
case of the smaller articles II is charitable
to ascribe this to the carelessness of sery-
ants. But the dump pickers are of the
opinion that the sterling silver teapot must

cover 1T before the driver of one of the city
wagons came along.
BY far the most common finds are rare
books and autographs which thrown
away by good housewives during the house
cleaning season. The books are sold as
waste paper to junk dealers, and they
know the value of a first edition or an old
print or an engraving well as the most
devoted biblophie.
Nothing goes to waste. Even the tin cans
are melted down for the solder they con-
tain, while the sheet iron is made into win
dow weights. Old rubber from bicycle tires
and door mats is ut liZed in various ways.
Newspapers are worked up into cheap
grades of wall and wrapping paper, and
scrap iron is turned into a merchantable
product Old brasses and andironS have
value of their own, although those who un-
Willingly send them to the dump heap seem
to have overlooked this fact. Some of the
most treasured antiques have been saved by
the alert ScaVengerS.
