PAINTING OF CHARTER OAK.

Notable Addition to Atheneun Gallery
 Through Heirs of Governor Jewell.
 The Wadsworth Atheneum gallery has received a painting of special inter est and value to citizens of Connecticut. It is the largest picture in existence made of the Charter Oak, and was made by Charles D'Wolf Brownell. En- erayed copies of the painting were ar- ranged for by ax-Governor Mashall Jewell, but he died before the work had been completed, and his executors, his brothers, Pliny Jewell and Lyman B. Jewell, finished the work. The painting was inherited by Mrs. Josephine Mar shall Jewell Dodge, to go at her death to her son, Marshall Jewell Dodge. The painting has been presented to the Wadsworth atheneum gallery in the fol- lowing letter, sent by MT. Dodge to Charles E. Gross of the atheneum board
 New York, Dec. 1T. 1903. The Trustees of the Hartford Athe-
 neum, Hartford. Conn.,
 Gentlemen.-The late Governor Mar sh21l5ewell took not only great interest gl s1 affairs tending to the civic im- provenent, palitical or otherwise, of the city of Hartford, but also in every item of historical interest connected with the state of Connecticut. The one thing historically which, perhaps meant more to him than anything else was the Charter Oak. At the time of his death he possessed the only large picture of the Charter Oak, and, I believe, the only picture showing the side of the tree where the charter was hidden.

Morning Trains on New York Division
 All Delayed.
 The Consolidated road has had it's share of the troubles that have affected railroads since the cold weather began, and yesterday just as the officials were about prepared to congratulate them selves on the resumption of traffic as per arranged schedule, an accident &C., cured which knocked out all hopes for the time being. At East Port Chester an eastbound freight broke in two parts about o'clock, and after a sharp in- cline had been reached by the first sec tion the second part urged on by the momentum, crashed into the first and the result was that several cars were piled up on the tracks. E
 The wrecking crew was promptly mo- tified, and they went to the scene at once, but the cold weather prevented very active work or immediate results, and it was o'clock before the tracks were cleared and traffic again resumed. One of the trains held up was the pa-

per train due here about o'clock. All of the morning trains following the pa- per train were delayed in consequence. and the passengers who usually arrive in the city on the later trains caught the paper train and in consequence there was an awful jam and the cars were
 more than filled. The number of pass engers was so great that all could not be accommodated in the regular coaches and many rode up in the baggage cars.

portionment act of January 16, 1901.
THE aggregates actually excluded
from the suffrage in each of the
States mentioned are in truth larger
than those used as the basis for this
act If all negro votables (viz, male
citizens ever twenty-one) regardless
of illiteracy should be deemed to be
excluded, the reduction in representa-
ton. figured from the same tables,
would be nearly twice as great as
stated in this bill.
1T requires no evidence beyond the
notorious historical fact, for congress
to adjudge what cannot be denied,
that the class Of negro illiterates, to
the extent stated, is practically eS-
cluded from the suffrage in the states
mentioned in the bill, no matter what
may be nominal provisions Of their
respective constitutions or election
laws. The bill, therefore, presents
the smallest reduction practicable,
and is very conservative.
How much further, meritoriously
considered, the reduction should ex-
tend can be readily arrived at by more
specifically regarding the actual facts

Washington, December S.-Sena-

affairs Of the republican club Of the
city of New York. having as its pur-
pose the reduction OF the representa-

that have disfranchised the negro
vote. The measure, if enacted in its
present form, would lessen the men,

cording to the estimate that has been
made by the republican club, which
originated it. The bill and a state

referred to the committee on the cen

This bill is framed upon the lowest
Limitation possible and treats as ex-
