SESSION CLOSED.
Carpenters Union Will Sup- port Local Union i'm
 Wage Scale Demand.

The annual convention of the State Association Of Carpenters and Joiners, which opened yesterday in Carpenters and Joiners' hall, at 3:3O o'clock this afternoon. Nothing was given out to-day except that sev- eral resolutions relative to rules and regulations were introduced, but noth- ing definite has as yet been done with them beyond an agreement to support the Waterbury local in its stand on the wage scale, which is the only place in the state where that matter has not already been adjusted between the locals and the master builders. It was said outside the hall that the local builders and contractors promised the men an increase this year, but that they are not prepared to grant it just yet. The visiting delegates were en- tertained last night in Turn hall, where a smoker was held and speeches de- livered by different persons.
 One Of the delegates was asked to- day if anything had been done towards endorsing a candidate for president of the United States. He said there had not been, and that he didn't know whether such 8 question would be in- troduced or not. Judging by the way he said it the reporter got the notion into his head that the convention will not adjourn without expressing an opinion on this all important matter.
 It was very harmonious gathering and the delegates who came in from out of town speak encourag1ngly of the outlook in their respective places of residence and appear somewhat sur lprised to know that there is some mis- understanding between the employers of labor i'll Waterbury and the carpen- ters and joiners.
 The next convention will be held in New London.

WITH GREAT HONOR.
The Duke of Cambridge Was Laid at
 Rest To-Day.

London, March 22.-The Duke of Cambridge was buried to-day after a funeral such as had been accorded to no English soldier since the death of the Duke of Wellington. King Edward, Queen Alexandra and nearly all the members of the royal family, representatives of foreign monarchs, majority of the nobility, the diplo- matic corps and representative British subjects of all walks in life attended the impressive national service at Westminster Abbey.
 Thereafter the body of the "old duke'' as he was affectionately known to the public, was taken to Kensal Green cemetery and buried beside that of his morganatic wife. Thousands of troops marched through and lined the streets and dense crowds watched the spectacle which in military magnifi- cence rivalled the funeral of Queen Victoria. -t "

Paris, March 22.-Prime Minister Combes to-day denied the reports that he will immediately retire from the premiership as result of the recent cabinet reverses. M. Combes says he recognizes that the situation of the
 ministry is delicate, but that so far as he is concerned, he proposes to pursue to the end the work he has un- dertaken, without deviating hairs breadth from the course planned.
 The statement is interpreted as ap- plying to the work in connection with the pending law for the suppression of the teaching orders. which will prob ably be passed in fortnight when the premier's main work will be ac- complished.

RUSSIA'S
 PROTEST
Japan Bombarding
 Hospitals
In Violation of the Hague Treaty Ambassador Mccormick Has Not Been Instructed to Make Request of Russians.

SC PeterSDurg, March ZZ-Ine Russ, in an editorial article to-day on Rus sia's new protest against the violation of The Hague convention in lombard ing the quarantine hospitals on the San-Chan-Tao islands, opposite Port Dalny, declares Japan cannot meet the charge by pleading ignorance of the character of the buildings on the is- lands, as the bombardment of unforti- fled towns and buildings is forbidden by the same convention, and adds that Japan's act was a fiouting of all the powers signatory thereto.
 "Who knows," continues the Russ, what excesses Japan may go to in yio- lating international law. The obliga- tions assumed by her, the feeling of solidarity among the nations and the defense of the fundamental principles of humanity must compel the world, if not to-day then tomorrow. to say to Japan: Thus far and no farther"
 The article concludes with express !, ing the hope that Russia's protest will make an impression on the other pow CTS
 St Petersburg March 22.-United States Ambassador Mccormick has not been instructed by the state depart ment at the request of M. Takahira, the Japanese minister at Washington, to ask the Russian government what facilities will be afforded to the 10000 Japanese in Siberia to return to Japan.
 According to information received here comparatively few Japanese are now in Siberia. Most of them left there prior to or just after the break. ing out of the war. The United States embassy, which is charged with safe guarding Japanese interests. has thus far been appealed to by only about score of Japanese coming from Siberia through European Russia. The last batch of 12, from Irkutsk, was sent to Berlin Saturday. Not one of them has been molested. but it is considered safer that the .Tananesa be placed be- yond the region of possible danger. No appeals have been received from. the few Japanese residing in St Peters burg and other cities of European Rus Sia.

S2,OOO,OOO FROM PEACHES.
GEORGIA GROWERS HAVE COME IN FOR
A BUNCH OF MONEY.
over Four Thousand Cars Shipped from
the State. Feared That Planting
MIuht Have Been OverdOne.

Two millions of dollars have been
turned loose among the peach grow
ers of Georgia during the season just
closing, says the Savannah News.
This is more 'than' double the record
for any previous year and the feelings
of the lucky fruit growers can be easily
imagined
The Central of Georgia handles over
% per cent. of the peaches from the
Fort Valley and Marshallville district,
where the early crop is gathered. 1t
is estimated that this road has han
died 1900 carloads of peaches from
that territory this season, and that all
other roads handled about 200 more.
In the north Georgia district, where
the season is still on, the Central han
dies less than half. Including the
shipments probable for the coming
week, which will practically close the
season in Georgia, it is estimated that
total of something over 1000 cars
will have been shipped from that Sec
ton of the state.
Com bining the production Of the two
peach growing sections, it will be
seen that the total will be over 1900
cars.
Each car Will average 500 crates,
making total of 100000 crates. On
conservative estimate, the growers
Melted 81 per crate, after deducting
all shipping charges. From this sum.
of course, they had to pay their help
and the cost of production.
During the height of the season the
Fruit Growers Express used a thou
sand tons of ice daily to ice the cars.
In addition to the shipments in car
load lots, the crates sent by express,
if consolidated, would fill several cars
These being shipped mostly early
in the season, of course brought much
higher prices.
The big yield in north Georgia was
due to the great increase in acreage,
this year bringing into service many
thousand of trees for the first time.
The great bulk of the peach crop
from this state went to the eastern
markets. The western markets de.
pend largely on Arkansas, Texas and
Missouri, and on account of the short
er distances these states do nearly al
their business, though the crop comes
in considerably later.
