IRISH IMMIGRATION.
cerrsspendeat Has somsthing to Say
 to Gaelic Lsafus.

Waterbury, Conn, April 6, 1905. Editor of the Democrat:
 Sir: In last evenings Democrat was a short article telling of certain en- deav0rs the Gaelic league in this coun- try intends making to help the league in Ireland. In my opinion the best thing the Gaelic league in this country can do is to discourage in every way immigration from Ireland. The papers say that terrible exodus from the old country will take place this year. This, if true, is disheartening news. There are anti-immigration societies and leagues in Ireland, but this is the country where they should be, and word from any branch of the Gaelic league in the United States to some re spOnsible authority ill Ireland telling of the conditions the emigrant must meet upon his arrival here could not fail to bear good fruit. America is no longer the Eldorado for the Irishman or Irish girl that it was fifteen or twen- ty years ago. Conditions have greatly changed since then and not to the ben eft of the Irish emigrant. and it is only justice to those in the old land whose anxious eyes are directed westward to our shores that they should know of this. This, in my opinion, should be one of the affairs of the Gaelic league, and l would be delighted to see the local league take the first step. It would save many heart from being broken here, struggling against odds and conditions that were not to be en- countered years ago. hope the Gaelic league will take up this matter. It would do more good than all the anti immigration leagues in the old country could do in year.

BOARD or sArETY:
Drivsr eS Patrol Wasea Aay Bs .
 Special Ceusssble.

At the meeting of the board of pub
 lie safety held yesterday afternoon the
 sensational disclosure was made that one day quite recently North Willow
 street was without fire protection on account of certain operations by the en- gineering department, Yet thls is only an instance of the highhanded way dn which this department of the city is conducted. The water was shut off from all the fire hydrants and not word was said to the fire department or any other department about it. The disclosure was made through Chief Snagg, who objected to anything like this being done again. The chief asked for advice in the matter and 1t was referred to the board of aldermen. Had fire taken place on North Willow street while the fire hydrants were dead on the day in question, it is diffi- cult to see how considerable damage could be averted, and on account of certain city officials at that.
 Joseph ConnOr, special policeman, was given leave of absence from March P to October 1. During the past month six liquor cases were be- fore the city court and nine arrests for being in saloons after legal hours were made. Special Policeman James E Walsh was granted four days pay while laid up for injuries received while in the discharge of his duty. He slipped on ice while trying doors on Bank street one night last month.
 Officers Donahue, Mullings, Dunphy, Wagner. Kiersted, Madden and Dunais applied for the regular promotion that follows after being a certain period on the police force. The examination will take place Monday evening. This was decided upon by the board at the ex- ecutive session. Frank Dance, an appli- cant for the supernumerary police force, did not take the examination as he was only five feet four inches, two inches shorter than the required height, and Thomas Healey, a candi- date for the fire call force, was not examined as he is not voter.
 Thomas Saunders, callman of Hook and Ladder company No 1, and John J. McMahon of the Chemical Engine company, resigned. First Assistant Fire Engineer T. c. O'Brien was grant ed leave of absence, and a communica- tion from the New England Insurance exchange asking for an eight instead of six-inch water main extension through Riverside park to the Eagle brewery, was referred to the board of public works,
 Mayor Elton suggested that it would be wise thing to appoint the driver of the police patrol special constable, limiting his jurisdiction to police calls. The mayor said that it was possibil- ity that some time something may hap pen in the city which might deprive the police department of the use of the>patrol wagon, whereas if the driver was a special constable the emergency could not happen. The matter was re- ferred to the board of aldermen and then the board went into executive ses. sion.

NEW YORK, April G.-Three hun dred passengers aboard an express train on the New York Centrals Dolly Varden' line, which runs between Thir- tieth street and Spuyten Duyvil along the North river, were saved from a wreck yesterday by the pluck and cour- age of an engine driver of a freight train, who stuck to his post and stopped the train.

The switch had been opened by some malicious person, for whom the police and railroad detectives are now searching.

A SETTLEMENT ROMANCE.
J. c. Phelps Stokes, Millionaire and
 PhilanthrOpist, to Wed.


 Philanthropist, to Wed.
 NEW YORK, April 6.-An interest ing romance growing out of University settlement work among the tenement population on the east side was re- vealed when announcement was made of the engagement of J. G. Phelps Stokes, millionaire and philanthropist, son of Anson Phelps Stokes, to Miss Rose Harriet Pastor, formerly of Cleve- land, O., and later writer on the Jewish Daily News of this city, from which she recently resigned to accept clerkship in the University settlement in Eldridge street.
 Miss Pastor, who is a very attractive young woman, has for years been one of the foremost workers for the better ment of the conditions of the poor on the east side, and 1t was while thus en- gagged that she met Mir. Stokes, who has always been actively interested in settlement work. Miss Pastor was born in NAugustowo, Russia, in 1879 and came to this country with her fam fly in 1891, going to Cleveland, where she was contributor to the local Jew ish papers until three years ago, when she came to New York.
 MT. Stokes is many times a million aire. His brother, the Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, IT,, is secretary of Yale university. One of his sisters is the Baroness. Halkett. Another sister, who, like himself, is devoted to works of phi lanthropy, married Robert Hunter for merly head worker in the University settlement, in which Miss Pastor Is now employed.

Manager Poli to Exsend His Chain Ol
 Vaudeville.

New Haven, April 6.-S. z. Poli, of vaudeville fame, it is stated on good authority, is planning for further ex- pansion ill the field where he has had so much success. The reports point to Mfr Poli's soon becoming one of the foremost factors in American vaude- vile.
 At the invitation of the wealthiest investment companies in New Eng land, Mir POli has been offered propOsi tions looking to the incorporation of his present theatrical holdings, and a further expansion that will take in some twenty or more additional cities. The corporation to be formed will be capitalized at $5,OOO,OOO, with provis- ion for an increase, if needed, to dOu- ble that amount
 Prominent Boston parties are men, toned in connection with the promo ton of the scheme. In case the plans as outlined are carried out MT Poli will be the general director of the cor poration, and the same policy that has brought him success on his present cir cult will be continued.
 Mir Poli has been in Worcester, where he bought theatrical site last week, and in Boston for the past four days, but returned home last evening. He stated that in the present state of the negotiations he could not discuss his plans. but he would not deny that they contemplated a $5I00O,O0O vaude- vile corporation. .
 Several persons intimately connected with Mir PoH in financial way said that he can at any time have the O. operation of capital to the amount spe- 'cified in case he decides to extend the POli chain of theaters.

THE EARTHQUAKE IN INDIA.
Vast Damage Done From Agra to
 Sfmla.

Vast Damage Done From Agra to
 Simla.
 CALCUTTA, British India, April G. The earthquake in northern India has caused a vast extent of damage from Agra to Simla.
 The inhabitants of Lahore were thrown into panic by a succession of shocks. It Is reported that the towers of the Golden mosque have fallen, and the Wazir Khan mosque was badly cracked.
 Accounts from various cities tell of severe damage to property arising from the earthquake, but it is impossi. ble as yet to estimate the extent of the loss of life.
 Visitors from Mussoree report con- siderable damage to private property. Curious scenes were witnessed in the grounds of the Savoy hotel there, where ladies rushed from the hotel in hastily assumed garments, their hair covered with fallen plaster. One lady had the whole of her jewelry buried under a mound of brick and mortar several feet high. It is curious fact that the older houses in Mussoree escaped with less damage than modern buildings. The only fatalities yet reported there were to two natives.
 Dharmsala station, ninety-five miles northwest of Simla, has been destroy ed, all the houses in the place being leveled to the ground and some Euro- peans and many natives killed. wo- men and children are sleeping in the open air.
 The Europeans killed at Dharmsala were Mrs. Robinson. wife of the colo mel commanding the troops there. and her two daughters; Mrs. Holderness. Captain Muscroft and four members Of the Indian civil service.
 Seventy natives were killed and many were injured when the native quarter of Lahore was demolished.

Equitable Fight to Force Out Alexs
 andcr h on Today.

Equitable Fight t0 Force Out Alexs andcr Is on Today. NEW YORK, April 6.-The course
 which the Hyde forces will pursue in tstodayls special, meeting of the Equita- ble Life Assurance society's directors
 has been forecasted in statement given out by one of Mir Hyde's friends. While the statement bears no sigma ture, it originates in the same source from which others giving Mir. Hyde's attitude have come and is regarded as authentic.
 The statement asserts that Mir. Alex. ander will be called upon to explain to the directors why he sent letter re. questing the commissioner of insurance , to make an examination of the society without having informed the executive committee and that he will also be called upon to explain "his conduct in assailing the personal integrity of his associates, James Hagen Hyde, the vice president; Jacob H. Schiff and E. H. Hartman, directors of the society, and causing the publication of matter de- rogatory to them"
 Continuing. the statement says:
 Both Mir. Alexander and Mir. Tarbell will be called upon to explain the sale of the renewal account for the sum of $1S5, 900 on the day that the memorable petition asking for the removal of Mir. Hyde was presented to the board of directors.
 Mfr. Alexander will be charged with having retained Frank H. Platt to or ganize what is so commonly known as the Crimmins policy holders protective committee for the express purpose of assailing the board of directors and maligning James Hazen Hyde, the vice president, and also impairing public confidence in the management of the society.
 ''Mr. Alexander will also be charged with having instigated the suit known as the Brackett-Mary Young suit and the action taken by Senator Bracket in the office of the attorney general and also in the legislature, acts which are detrimental to the good name of the society"
 E. H. Hartman has admitted that he secured personal loan from the Equitable Life Assurance society. The report that he had denied having se- cured such loan. he explained, had been due to misapprehension on the part of the newspaper reporters who had interviewed him.
 The amount of the loan was not giv- en by Mir. Hartman. but report has placed 1t at $2.7O0.0O0. on which tho collateral was Union Pacific stock q par value of &3.6O0.oO0.

Russia Indirectly Makes Known to
Japan Negative Conditions.
st. Petersburg, March 3O-The Asso-
ciated Press is in a position to an
nounce that a step in the direction of
peace has actually been taken. Rus
STA has indirectly made known to Japa n
the negative conditions upon which
peace may be concluded, namely: No
cession of territory and no indemnity,
leaving Japan to determine whether
negotiations can be begun upon that
basis. No reply from Japan had reach
ed the Russian government up to noon
Wednesday.
Through what channel or channels
Russia has Indirectly communicated
with the Japanese the Associated Press
is not in a position to state definitely,
although there is reason to believe it
is through the United States. It is
practically certain that France and
possibly Great Britain, as two allies of
the belligerents, and the United States
acting for Japan, have been apprised
Of Russia's position.
