Yesterdays London War Scare Due
 to Misstafements.

London, Nov 2.-Yesterdays attack of nerves, due to misinformed state ments i'll the London newspapers, has given way to extreme calm. The news papers angrily assail the government for leaving London to wrestle with it's fears all day bong when a word would have disposed of all the alarms and they suggest that if the admiralty would request Vice Admiral Lord Charles Beresford to refrain from surprise mobilizations'' and other in- teresting maneuvers during the next few days 1t would not only add to the tranquility of the country, but would smooth the way to- final settlement of the dispute.
 To-day's cabinet meeting excited hardly the slightest interest on the part of the general public. For the @first time in many years the ministers met at the premier's residence, as MT Bal four is suffering from the blocking of small superficial vein in his left leg, requiring complete rest. All the min- isters were present, Foreign Secretary Lansdowne coming in after having in teryiews with Ambassadors Benken- dorff and ,Canbon, who were early wis itors at Lansdowne house and the for .eign office respectively. The two ann bassadors had previously met to dis cuss some points of detail ill the for nation of the international commis- sion.
 Tlfes cabinet sat fof4nearly a couple of hours. the subject of discussion be- ing details of the arrangements for the International commission.

MILDRED HOLLAND
 AT POLPS THEATER

Theodore Kreamer's production, .sThe Triumph of an Empress, in five acts, was presented at Polis last even ing to a fair sized audience, with Miss Mildred Holland starring. The play was really dramatic treat to all who attended. 1t was full of historicai facts, with a vien of numor running all through. Miss Hollands s imperson- ation of Princess Catherine of Russia was excellent She handled her part well and the audience was wel pleased. At the end of the third act she was presented with & beautiful bouquet, a gift from an admirer. There are many thrilling scenes in the play and to one that has read the life or Catherine the play is especially inter- esting. The scene in the last act where Princess Voroutzof, Catherine's enemy, who tried to have her de. throned but failed, is especially a heart rending one. Catherine has the princess at her mercy and her life is In Catherine's hands, but she spares Voroutzof's life and banishes her from the country for ten years. The cos tunes used were magnificent, ana showed the gowns, that are worn in European courts. On whole the play is about the best that Miss Holland has ever taken part in.

AFTER THE HOUNDS.
Educating the Farmers of Long
 Island to Hunt.

New York, Nov 2-A, unique scheme for educating Long Island farmers up to the beauties of cross country riding after the hounds is being made by the Meadowbrook Hunt club. The idea of the clubmen is to conciliate the angry spirit many agriculturists have shown against the hunters in galloping. across their fields.
 The names of all the farmers of the townships of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay have been obtained, and to each will be sent free subscriptions to number of popular magazines and papers. 1t is also intended to distrib- ute among the schools of the two town- ships about 5000 volumes of school books and the latest encyclopedias
 At the close of the season the club managers will give a monster dinner for all the farmers of the two town ships. Efforts are also being made to have series of races for the farm horses.

According to the old song, "'Twas a cold frosty morning when Uncle Neu he died" and we wonder if Oil Heat CTS had been known in those days whether Uncle Ned's life could not have been prolonged perhaps even to this day. Of course we might have missed the old song. but we think that Uncle Ned would have enjoyed living vastly more than we enjoy listening to his musical obituary. However, be that as it may, the fact is plain that to get out of nice warm bed these cold mornings and dress in a cold, frosty room is far from pleasant, and after the days work is oyer cold room is a cheerless thing to contemplate, no matter how attractively it may be fur, nished. The introduction of little warmth will change all this and add a feeling of comfort to any room. The expense, not over 1c an hour, is hardly to be considered, and as thare is no dust. no smoke, no smell, an OIL HEATER seems to fill this need.
 Prices from $2.75 to $4,50.

TROLLEY co. CASE
Evidence Being Taken Again To-Day
 in the $2O, ,O0O Suit.

The case of Bridget Whalen against the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co was resumed before Judge Rora. back in the superior court this morn> ing Plaintiff claims $2O,0O0 damages for injuries she received by falling from window ill John Condon' $ house on December 9 last, which fall she maintains was caused by her com ing ill contact with live electric wire, the property of the defendant.
 Yesterday afternoon the defense be- gan with Dr k. B. Graves on the stand. He testified that he sounded plaintiffs $ lungs in September and found them perfect. The testimony of physicians for the prosecution was that the Wo- mans lungs are not sound, owing to an attack of pneumonia caused by the fall. A. J. Patton. surveyor, this morn- ing testified that he surveyed the prem ises where the accident took place, and maps and Photographs made by him were introduced Both showed that the nearest wire to the window from which plaintiff fell was twenty-nine inches.
 Charles ]. Neale. foreman for the Scovill Manufacturing Go, gave evf- dence to the effect that plaintiff has been working in his department for some years. Time cards introduced by him showed there was no practical difference ill her wages up to the time the accident occurred and since her re- turn to work They showed that her average earnings ran from $40 for five days work to $T.4O for six days work. She was allowed to earn at the utmost in six days work $1.3O q day.
 Officer John F. Brickel was on the scene of the accident a few minutes after it happened. He saw plaintiff surrounded by women in the grocery store adjoining Mir COndonss saloon. SShe was then unconscious. He saw neither cuts nor marks on her. but there was blood on the sidewalk under the window from which she had fallen, and an electric light wire was coiled around the pole nearby. The bracket to which it was fastened on the house was broken and was lying on the side walk. Ahother wire ran from the pole to the house.
 Under cross-examination, Officer .Brickel testified, that every time he went up Baldwin, street he could not help remarking, the two wires in ques- stion. He believed sthat the wire that was broken by plaintiffs fall was a live wire. Nevertheless he picked it up in his bare hands and twined it around the pole. His aretics. which he had on at the time, were what saved him, he thought
 A witness named Whitney said he was employed by the defendant and a' few minutes after the accident he fixed the broken wire. He did not con- sider it a live wire. though 40 volts were passing through it.
 Before resuming this afternoon, the court and the attorneys visited the 5;scaIe of the accident. Se.s ..., s-- . se

 Time To-Day,

Boston, Nov 2.-The new armored cruiser West Virginia Ieft port early to-day for her official speed trial oven the government course from Cape Ann to Cape Porpoise, Me. There was much interest sin thes performance. as under favorable conditions it was thought an attempt might be made to excel the record of her type of war ships
 The West Virginia was built by the Newport News Ship Building aid Dry Dock Co. The Colorado, of the same class, which was constructed by the Cramps, made an average speed of her recent four .hours' trial run of 22.2o knots per hour.
 The weather was clear this forenoon and the water was smooth. A light northerly wind prevailed
 The conditions under which the new cruiser West Virginia Started on her trial trip to-day were in every way favorable. The sky and atmosphere were perfectly clear. There was but a breath of wind from the east and the sea was smooth. The cruiser first made wide circle to the southward and then approached the Minneapolis, the mark boat. at the beginning of the course. The West Virginia swept by the Minneapolis as nearly as could be timed from the shore at .9:55 80. As the new vessel passed the Minneapolis ran up the signal Good luck, West Virginia
 A fleet of schooners prevented a shore view of the boat marking the first stage of 6.6 knots of the course, but the West Virginia was timed pass ing the second mark boat, 13.2 knots from the start, at about 1O:33 40. This indicated that she was making trif1e over 21 knots.

C. B. WEBSTER FOR SENATOR.
Democrats Place Him the Ticket-Big Democratic Rally at Auditorium To-Morrow Night-Repub-
 Iicans Will Also Have Rally.

The delegates to the 10th demo- cratic senatorial convention met last night, Edward S. Cullen presiding, and E. H. Tullar acting as clerk. A communication from J. H. Whiting. thanking the convention for the honor it had conferred upon him in offering him the nomination for senator and giving his reasons for declining was read and accepted. Chauncey E. Web ster one of the best known democrats in Waterbury, was nominated to run for the senate against H. Fl. Peck. He is a good candidate and his entrance into the field has caused Mir Peek to look a trife worried.
 Hon N. P. Bissonnette of Bridge port will speak tonight at the French rally in Concordia hall.
 J. S. Cooper of Hartford will speak at. Concordia hall Thursday. evening atg5S o'clock. Subject, .Socialism, Why Necessary"
 Hoke Smith has reputation for saying things right from the shoulder. The best speeches of the campaign will be heard at the Auditorium to- morrow night.
 The Hon Clifford Pinchot, chief of the bureau of forestry at Washington, will deliver an address under the auspices of the republican, state. cen tral committee at Pythian, hall, Wa teryille tonight.
 The Italians of Waterbury, held a political rally in Concordia hall last night where several speakers expos tulated on the good offices of the re publican party Prior to entering the hall a street parade was held, headed by the Italian Marine band The orators included John Sirica, Dome nico Cerulli, John V. Noel and Joseph Gullino of New York, k. N. Blakeslee and Samuel J, Marsh, theS two last named, the republican, candidates for representatives.
 The cold reception which the re publican spellbinders are receiving around the state is in marked contrast to that which prevails at the demo- cratic rallies, and the mere mention of democracy leaders is signal for great enthusiasm. This is accounted for by the fact that a large element of the republicans are lukewarm in their support of the party candidates while many have signifed their intentions of voting the democratic ticket. Anoth-: CT feature is the large number of democrats who are to be found among ihe newly made voters.
