Hearing Before Labor Committee OF
Il LEGISLATURE.

Hartford, March 22.-The labor COM
mittee of the general assembly gave a
public hearing to-day ON the bill maxi
ing eight hours days work for all
mechanics and laborers employed by
the state or any municipal corporation.
Representative Connor, of Enfield, and
C. j. Donahue, of Derby, appeared in
behalf of the bill. In opposition to it
We're Wilson I'll. Lee. of New Haven,
president of the State Typothetae, and
Attorney Charles e. Gross, Of Hartford.
Mr. Lee said the measure would work
an extreme hardship on members of his
association, as they control ninety per
cent. of the state printing, and that
with such a law in force the state would
have to pay from ten to twenty per
cent. more than private individual for
work done.
Mr.. Gross laid stress upon the neces-
sity of allowing freedom of individual
contract. All state employees, including
telephone operators and other classes,
would be affected by the measure.

BRITON's QUEEN IN LISBON.
Received a Most Hearty weIcome-Har-
bor GaiIy Decorated.

Lisbon, March 22.-Queen Alexandra.
Of Great Britain, to-day was given a
most hearty welcome to Portugal. The
har!bor was crowded with gaily decor
ated steamers and yachts. and the
British royal yacht assembled the river
amid leafening yolley of salutes. The
ceremonies all were arranged most pic
turesquely. Two great golden galleys
pulled by eighty boatmen in mediaeval
costumes Of scarlet and gold took out
King Charles, his suite and ministers TO
meet the royal guest. A beautiful pa
Vilion had been erected on the qauy
for the reception of formalities. After
the queen dowager of Portugal had met
Queen Alexandra at the steps of the
quay an imposing procession of state
carriages and officials took the guest
and her suite to the palace amid
rousing cheers by the populace, which
had gathered everywhere in dense
masses. The whole route of the process
sion was elaborately decorated with
flags and streamers, and a special fea-
ture was many thousands of camelias
and other flowers which had been dis
tributed to residents to be thrown to
Queen Alexandra as the procession
passed, whilst hundreds of pigeons with
ribbons of the British colors tied to
their neeks were liberated and mingled
in theshoWer of flowers. The scheme
Of decorations made the reception a
great floral demonstration. After a
state banquet at the palace, where 200
covers We're laid, and a grand state
concert by opera artists, the streets
were Illuminated and crowded till a
late hour.
1t transpires that the storm which
compelled the British royal yacht to
put into Vigo for shelter was so violent
as to cause the royal party the greatest
anxiety and discomfort Princess Vic
toria, owing to weakness consequent
upon her recent illness, was complete
ly unnerved. The heavy seas damaged
the yachts fittings. Nobody aboard
closed an eye from noon Monday till
Tuesday morning. Princess Victoria
has now recovered.

Bremen, March 22.-At a banquet in
the town hall tonight in honor of tbs
unvailing Of a monument Of Emperor
Frederick, Burgomaster PAUL. made
speech in which he referred to the frst
German fleet having been sold under
the auctioneer's hammer, and said that
the model Of the admiraps ship of that
fleet was in the Bremen town hall.
Emperor William replied to the bur-
gomaster's speech, saying that when ne
was youth he stood by that model,
and felt deeply enraged at the disgrace
done the German flag. That perhaps
showed him how to comprehend the
tasks of the German empire He had
then sworn an oath OF fidelity to the
flag, and that when he became the
head of the government he would do
everything possible to let bayonets
and cannon rest, but to keep the bay
onets sharp and tine cannon ready, 50
that envy and greed from without
would not disturb us in tending cur
garden or in building our beautiful
house. I vowed the emperor contin-
Hed, never to strike for world mas
terry. The world empire that I then
dreamed Of was to create for the Ger
man empire on all sides the most abb
solute confidence as quiet honest and
peaceable neighbor. I have vowed that
if ever the time comes when history
shall speak Of a German world power
or Hohenzollern world power. this
should not be based upon conquest, but
come about through a mutual striving
Of nations after common purposes
The emperor continued: After much
has been done internally in a military
way, the next thing must be the arm
ing of ourselves at sea. Every German
battleship is a new guarantee for the
peace Of the world, and the less ready
will our foes be to attack US, and the
more valuable will we become as an
ally.
The duty of youth is to avoid every
discord. Give them the conviction that
God has great things in store for the
German people We are thesalt Of the
earth, but must prove worthy of be-
ing so. Therefore, our youth must
learn to deny themselves what is not
good for them. Then we will be regard.
ed on all sides with esteem and love,
as a trustworthy people.
With all my heart, ! hope that the
golden peace will continue to be pres
served for u.s.
The emperor closed with hurrahs for
Bremen After the banquet Emperor
William and Prince Henry took the
train for Cuxhaven, where they wera
received by Herr Ballin, director Of the
Hamburg American line and Captain
Won Grumme. The emperor went on
board the steamer Hamburg, which was
greatly Illuminated.

H. There BE Light
London, March 25.-George Meredith
contributes to the Times poem en-
titled "The Crisis, and beginning:
"Spirit of Russia! Now has come
The day when thou canst not be dumb. !"
in which, after eloquently painting the
perils surrounding the empire, the poet
thus addresses the Spirit Of Russia:
"Those who bind
Thy limbs and ironcap thy mind
Take thee for quaking flesh, misdoubt
That thou art of the rabble rout
Which cries and fees with whimpering
lip
From reckless gun and brutal whip.
But he who has at heart the deeds
OF thy heroic offspring reads
In them a soul not given to shrink
From peril on the Abyss's brink -

WEDDINGS

A very pretty little house wedding Wednesday evening was that of Miss Gretchen Fresenius and pr. Frederick Beck, Yale '03, which took place at the home of the bride on Congress avenue near West street, at o'clock. The house was very handsomely decorated.
 About fifty guests witnessed the cer- eruony, which was performed by Rev. MT. Timm, of the German Lutheran church The bride was given away by her brother-in-law, Frederick Orth, of New York city. Miss Gertrude Grave was maid of honor and Dr. Herman Hessler, Yale '03, acted as best man.

-Thinking-- About Bathing Suits :?

port on this mater has been made by the appropriations committee. Senator Pattison said the towns interested were not poor. He thought the aid asked for, $4,000, should not be allowed. Sem ator Brennan replied that the ferry is practically a state road, and state aid should be given, he said, towards it's maintenance. Ssnator Judson also sup ported theact in favor of the two towns, on the ground that the ferry should be treated as a state road. After addi- tional debate by Senators Paige, Patti son and Chatfield the report of the com n1ittse was rejected. Senator Paige held that the state should share in the expense of maintaining the ferry. On vote the bill was carried through the senate by a large majority.
 TF.s members of the sstiate, Lieuten- ant Governor Woodruff and United States Senator Morgan G. Bulkeley were the guests of Senator McGovern of Hartford at the, Elm Tree Inn in Farm ington during the afternoon, leaving the capitol by special trol1eys at 1 o'clock. The event was one of a felici- tous character, the senator's hospital ity being unlimited. The afternoons outing will be remembered by the par ticipants with the brightest Paige function at Lake Conpounce a few weeks ago. .
 In the house there was protracted debate on the bill authorizing a new ferry between New London and Gro- ton. An advance report had been made concerning the project. At the end of the contention the report was rejected and the bill passed. New London has opposed the ferry with great vehemence through the. winter. Mayor Bryan T. Mahan of New London, with pron1in- ent residents of the city, have been opponents of the measure. Its passage by the house was a surprise.

} ANIMALS AND RAIN.

It seems strange that no animal, un- less it be the squirrel, seems to build itself a shelter with the express object of keeping off the rain, which they all so much dislike. Monkeys are miser- able in wet and could easily build shel- ters if they had the sense to do so. As the creatures hop disconsolately along in the rain," writes Mr. Kipling in his Beast and Man in India," GOT crouch on branches, with dripping backs set against the tree trunk as shelter from the driving storm, they have the air of being very sorry for themselves" But even the orang-ou- tang, which builds a small platform in the trees on which to sleep at night, never seems to think of roof, though the Dyaks say that when it is very wet it cavers itself with the leaves of wet it covers itself with the leaves of
