NEW PLAN FOR c. N. c.
Annual Encs smpmens May be with
 Regular Army Force.

Hartford, March 1.-The prospects are bright for the Connecticut National Guard abandoning it's annual encamp- ment at Mantle this summer. and join ing with the militia of the New Eng land states and a detachment of the regular army in a series of elaborate field maneuvres. Adjutant General Cole said to-day that during his recent visit to Washington he inquired of the authorities in the United States war de- partment concerning the status of the proposed military maneuyres. He was told that the army bill now before con- gress carries with it a request for an appropriation for a sum sufficient to cover the cost of the maneuvres and that the bill was expected to pass.
 Adjutant General Cole was told that if the appropriation is granted the maneuvres will surely be held. It is the intention of the war department to hold field maneuvres in the east, west, south and north in consecutive years.

ALLOWED TO RUN GAUNTLET.
Vessels wth supplis. for vIadivostOk
 -may be Useful to Japan Later.

Tokio. March 4.-It is evident that several vessels laden with coal, pro- visions and other contraband articles. has recently effected the passage of Tsugaru strait and succeeded in reach ing Vladivostok. Their exact number and names are unknown. but it is stated that they included British. Norwegian and German vessels. Two of them are said to have carried cargoes of Aus tralian coal. Japan evidently refrained from making a special effort to prevent their passage and it is not impossible that she calmly permitted the delivery os the contraband goods. calculating that they would prove useful to herself at a later stage of the campaign. The Vladivostok squadron continues in active, though it has an ample supply of coal and the ships are in good condition. It has evidently been instructed by the Russian government to remain close to the Vladivostok batteries in preference to risking a fight in the open seas. It is declared to be only question of time before this squadron will receive the att tentfon of the Japanese navy.

LINER IN DANGER.
Sighted by campnnaa Flying "Not
 Under Controls, signals


 Queenstown, March 1.-The Cunard steamship Campania, from New York February 27 for Liverpool, which arr rived here tonight, reports that on March 2 she passed an Atlantic Trans port line steamer displaying signals Not under control"
 New York, March 4-Whi1e 1t is i'm possible to ascertain what Atlantic transport liner was sighted by the Campania it is quite certain that the vessel was not one of the New York London service. Most ef the steamers of this service are equipped with wire less telegraph apparatus and. as the Campania also is equipped with wire less, had it been one of these vessels she would undoubtedly have communi- cated her name and the cause of the signals.
 It is supposed that the vessel was one of the westward bound steamers. Dur ing daylight on March the Campania must have been between 1000 and 1,2O0 miles west of Queenstown. The only eastward bound steamer of the Atlantic Transport line likely to be in that vii cinity on that date is the Mackinaw, bound from Swansea to Philadelphia This vessel, leaving Swansea on Feb ruary 25, would follow from Fastnet the track of the Liverpool steamers and by March 2 should have reached point about 1000 miles west of Queenstown.
 The Mackinaw carries no passengers

s.BEEF TRUsTv QUESTION.
Mr. Martin speaks for His Resolution in the House.

Washington, March 4.-The house to- day had under consideration the Indian appropriation bill. the reading of which, for the purpose of amendment, was pending on adjournment. During the general debate on the bill MT. Martin, a republican member from South Da- kota, addressed the house on his reso- lution directing the secretary of com merce and labor to investigate the causes for the differences which exist between the cost of live cattle and dressed beef. He prefaced his state ments with high tribute to Attorney General Knox and by saying that he was not one who went into hysteria on hearing the word trust" But while this was true he believed that mo- nopoly exists in one of the big food products which should be investigated by the department of commerce and labor. He asserted that so far as the rights of the producer and consumer are concerned they are even worse than before the injunction was secured against the beef concerns, and in sup port of this statement cited the experi- ences of stoekmen in the markets. He opposed a repeal of the forfeiture clause in the Sherman antitrust law.

Washington. March 1.-The Star to- night says:
 Senator Fairbanks will not resist a movement to make him the vice presi- dential nominee of the republican par ty. If the convention nominates him he will accept. More than that, he will not attempt to discourage efforts look ing to his nomination.
 Tt is only fair to say that no ex- plicit declaration by Senator Fairbanks to that effect has been made. The In- diana delegation in congress was con vinced to-day that Senator Fairbanks had yielded to the solicitation of men high in the councils outside of Indiana, to take second place on the national ticket.
 Almost without exception his closest political friends in Indiana have ad- vised him, in his own interest, against accepting the vice presidency. Infiuen- tial republicans in the Senate, such men as Spooner, Allison and Platt, have urg- ed him to take it, on the ground that he would strengthen the republican ticket especially in financial circles and that his first duty is to his party rather than to his own political future"

The recent controversy over the eligi- bility rules for baseball players at Brown in no way affected Harvard's dropping Brown from the football schedule. Two games will be played this spring in baseball, as heretofore. It simply was impossible to it Brown into the proper place in the schedule. Amherst was dropped because an exor- bitant guarantee was demanded, and not, as has been stated, because Ann herst beat Harvard last year. Wes- leyan's game was not considered prac- tical, and therefore was eliminated.
