Foreman Burns of the Manufacturins
 Co. Has Resigned.

John W. Burns of 45 Bishop street, who has been foreman of the plating department of the Waterbury Manu- facturing concern. severed his connec- tion with the above concern on We'd nesday. His resignation was not vol untary. The company notified MT Burns that his services would be re- quired no longer. The cause of Mir Burns's removal after so many years of faithful service is unknown. MT Burns was prominently identified with the attempt to elect labor may or of this city last fall and 1t is said that his activity i'll this movement may have something to do with the case. Another reason given is that a certain man did not like the idea of having the assessment on his property raised $2OO,OOO last year. MT Burns is a member of the board which raised the assessment
 Since Walter Perkins became super intendent several months ago, num- Der of changes have been made. MT Burns's removal is only one of them. It is furthermore stated that more changes are coming and that the heads of several foremen will be cut.

At the conclusion of the examina- ton this morninga process which is necessarily weakening senator l was given a sponge bath. This had the effect of reducing his temperature for a time and he fell into a natural sleep.
 The fact that Senator Hanna's H.
 ness has reached the serious, if not the critical stage, has brought hum
 dreds of inquiries from friends in every part of the country.
 Shortly before o'clock Senator
 Hana awoke from brief sleep. The physicians at once began their exam ination. They read his temperature, pulse and respiration, before going further with the examination. The
 results of the reading at that time are
 set out in the bulletin. While the pa tient's temperature is high, it
 was even higher at one time last night.
 It is said by the physicians, however,
 that the temperature is no higher than is to be expected In a case of typhoid, particularly while the patient is pass ing through the climax of the dis ease. The increase of the pulse IS an indication of the senators s
 growing weagness, but assurance is
 given that that alone does not show the presence of immediate danger. Despite the senator's high fever, he slept fairly well lest night. 1t has
 been necessary, at intervals, to admin ister stimulants to the patient as Il means of maintaining his failing
 strength. That he responds readily to the action of the stimulants is re-
 garded by his physicians as favora-
 ble sign. The physicians are encour- aged also by the fact that Senator
 Hanna's vital organs continue to preform well their functions.
 Scores of his colleagues in the sen-
 ate and in the house of representatives
 called at hotel last night and to- day and inquired solicitously for the latest news from the bedside of the
 distinguished patient. President
 Roosevelt was among the first of the
 anxious inquirers as to the senator s
 condition. Dr Rixey conveys prompt
 ly and regularly to the president the
 results of the physicians examinations
