fl POPULAR DEMAND
Being Made for Concert on Green Night
 of the Fourth.

The general committee for the Fourth
 of July celebration met in city hall last evening. The meeting was presided over by Chairman A. Maxcy Hitler, and c. E. Whittelsey was the secretary. A number of clashes took place during the meeting when various matters were being discussed, particularly concern ing the letting of the fireworks contract land whether or not there should be a band concert on the central green while the fireworks are in progress. Edward U. Gum, of West Haven, who is a del- egate from the Sons of Temperance; W. F. Bassett, of 10S Mechanic street, and Edward I. AtWater made number of valuable suggestions.
 It was stated at the meeting that there was a great deal of indignation about town that there was to be no
 band concert on the central green in l the evening. The argument Is being used that it was no use having the band play on the green in the evening,
 as it was impossible to hear a note of the music, owing to the constant firing
 of pistols and dynamite canes. It was stated that the mayor proposed to do away with both these things this year. The contract for furnishing fireworks
 was awarded to the Connecticut Fire
 works company by the fireworks com lmittee, despite objection from Secre- tary Whittelsey, who wished the mat
 ter to go over until all the members were present.

LABOR SCANDAL IN CHICAGO
GREATEST CITE HAS EYER @ KNOWN TO BE DISCLOSED.

Information Given by John c. DriscolI
 Before Grand Jury Startling in It's ,Character--History of Dealings Be-
 tween Employers and Labor Unions
 Revealed --- Surprising Results Ex-
 pected--sheR Accused.
 Chicago, June 15.The greatest labor scandal Chicago has ever known, ac- cording to States Attorney Healy is to follow the disclosures made to-day be- fore a grand jury by John c. Driscoll, formerly secretary of the Associated Building Trades council, and of the Coal Team Owners association. Dris- coll revealed the history of the dealings between employers and union labor leaders, particularly that branch of un- ion labor represented by the Chicago teamsters union. States Attorney Healy said:
 More serious offenses have been committed than bribery and conspiracy, and the evidence presented to the grand jury has been of an extremely startling character. It is important and will lead to surprising results. The names mentioned by the witness are those of prominent men on both sides.
 Tomorrow will witness the gathering before the grand jury of q score of prominent business men together with leading members of the bar. Subpoe- naes have been placed for them to- night in the hands of detectives eil1- ployed by the states attorney, but 1t is impossible tonight to learn the names of those for whom subpoenas have been isued. Driscoll to-day told how the coal teamsters and coal team owners had made a trade agreement which provid- ed that the owners should employ only members of the coal teanlsters union and that the members of the union should work for no employer not a member of the Coal Team Owners as sociation. The effect of this arrange ment, the witness declared, was to force every coal wagon owner into the Coal Team Owners association and every coal wagon driver into the Teamsters' union. The owners behind this provi- sion increased the carriage rates of coal from thirty cents to fifty cents a ton for short hauls and to as high as one dollar a ton for long hauls.
 Driscoll was agitated as he left the criminal court building late this after noon. He refused, however, to discuss the nature of his testimony, merely saying: q told the jury about strikes in which I have been involved for sev- eraI years and also told what I knew l about the present strike. That is all can say now"

TO REIMBURSE D.P. ATWOOD

 JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.

Amendment of the House Rejected
 office of State Fire Marshal to Con-
 tinue--BiIl Passed InvaIidating Meas
 ure Adopted Two Years Ago Ab0Iisf,-
 ing the Ofice-senator Donovan Att
 tacks state Police Chief. |
 Hartford, June IS. The senate this afternoon passed a bill reimbursfng D: Preston Atwood in his suits against de- linquent executors and administrators, as reported by the Judiciary committee, but rejected the amendment passed by the house which cut him off with 9 fee of $1 and costs in each case, on all actions pending, by a vote of 13 to z. A lengthy discussion was indulged in on the bill, and the committees report was explained by Senator Judson, who said that if the senate desired to make Atwood good on his actual outlay the bill should have been accepted as re- ported by the committee.
 The senate during the afternoon passed the bill which in effect invali- dates the law passed two years ago which was intended to discontinue the office of state fire marshal after July 1, next. The state fire marshal's office remains in existence. Senator Donovan opposed the bill claiming that only po- litical interests were behind 1t, as in event of the bill not passing the duties of the fire marshal would fall upon the state police. Senator Donovan contend ed that the state paid a salary of $3,0OC year to the superintendent of police and that evidently that officer had SC little work that he was able to keer busy in the lobbies of the capitol about all the time.

THE cARRNGToN PUBLISHING co.
STILL HOLD UP BILLS.
Finance Board to Ask Advice as to Pay
 of Two Election Workers.

The board of finance met yesterday. Controller Rowe stated that he had in vestigated the cases of J. J. Morgan of the First ward and H. c. Korn of the Eighth ward, whose pay for work on election day had been protested. It is claimed that there was nothing for them to do except at noon time. but had they been wanted they could have been instantly summoned at any time dur ing the day. The deputy registers of the two wards in which the men reside were present and told about having sworn the two men in the morning.
 The financiers thought that there was some question as to whether 1t was le- gal to pay these two men owing to the fact that they had not put in their en- tire time, so the board voted to con- suit the corporation counsel on the mat ter, and in the meanwhile hold up the bills until his decision was received.

GRAND DUKE ALEXIS
 QUITS RUSSIAN NAVY
CZAR,S UNCLE RESIGNS AS THE
 HIGH ADMIRAL.

Held Power of Supreme Director of
 Navy Since the Days of the EmperOr's
 Father--AdmiraI Ayellan, Head of the
 Admiralty Also ReSigns-Ugiy Ru-
 mors of Corruption-Grand Duke High on List for Assassination by Terrorists.
 St. Petersburg, June 16-S:2O a. m.- The sensational announcement was made shortly before midnight that Grand Duke Alexis. the high admiral, who is an uncle of the emperor, and Admiral Avellan, head of the Russian admiralty department. had resigned. This announcement was followed a few minutes later by an imperial rescript relieving the grand duke of the supreme direction of the navy, which he had held since the. days of the emperor's father, Alexander ILL, when Russia re- solved to enter the lists as a tirst-class sea power and to build up great navy, the remnants of which were destroyed in the battle of the Sea of Japan. l. Although from time to time since the war began there have been rumors that the grand duke would retire on account of the savage criticism not to use tarsher terms, directed against the administration of the navy, especially in the construction of ships, the an- nouncement of his resignation came | like a bolt out of the blue.
 | Among those sojourning late ill the cafes and hotels the editorial in the Nasha Shisn yesterday morning de- manding an accounting of the popular fund subscribed for the rebuilding of the navy, and declaring that great names are no longer guarantees" was instantly recalled.
 The words of the rescript give no hint of imperial anger, and the real ex- planatlon probably will not leak out for several days; but the instant disposi- ton was to regard the retirement of Grand Duke Alexis and Admiral Avel- Ian as concession to public opinion following the crowning tragedy of the Sea of Japan. Charges of mismanage- ment and i1Rfficiency and tales of cur ruption and even worse against the marine department have been rife for years. After the war began they in- creased tenfold, and lately regular |campaign against the department has been openly conducted in the newspa- pers. Some startling revelations have been made in this campaign, and Cap- Etain Clado, who was one of the leading critics of the conduct of the navy, was dismissed from the service for his per- sistence.
 It was felt even in quarters where charges of corruption were not enter ,tained that it would be unwise to en- trust the rebuilding of the navy to the hands which were responsible for the lhapless fleets of the past.
 Grand Duke Alexis himself did not escape personal attacks, and scandal was so busy with his name that he was several times the subject of public demonstrations.
 The name of the grand duke was high lon the list of those condemned by the |terrorists, and after Red Sunday (January 23 last) it was reported that he had fled abroad, but it developed that he was merely keepink closely within his palace.

 New York, June 15.-Secretary of State John Hay arrived from Europe on the White Star line steamer Baltic tonight, much improved in health, but plainly showing that he was far from a well man. His presence in this coun- try was evidently anxiously expected by President Roosevelt, for an impos- ing and long document was delivered to him at quarantine by a special mess enger from the White house who went down the bay on the revenue cutter to deliver it to Mir Hay in person. The contents of this message Secretary Hay refused to divulge. MT. Hay said iii re- sponse to questions, that he had no in- tention of leaving the cabinet.

Western Candidate. Second and First
 Mason Third. s~..- ~.--.-..
 New York, June 15.-Beldame was crowned queen of the American turf when she won the twenty-second Su- burban handicap this afternoon at Sheepshead Bay. She was the second mare to capture the classic. The grand four-year-old daughter of octagon and Belladonna. wearing the scarlet jacket of August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey club, lowered the colors of James R. Keene's Delhi almost without being extended until near the end of the mile and a quarter journey. Delhi was the public favorite at 21s to 1, but the winner was heavily played around IS to 1. =.--...-s s.- .,-
 The favorite shot away in front at the start and BeIdame dogged his steps like shadow throughout the first mile. Then he Jagged and the Bel mont colors flashed to the front. Delhi's fate was quickly settled and he fell back with the ruck. First Mason, in a nice position all the way, slipped into second place, but was passed in the last few jumps by Proper Beldame's victory was comparatively an easy one after Delhi had been disposed of. Jockey O'Neill distinguished himself by winning four races, one of which was | the Suburban. ,-.5s A feature of the day at the track was short-lived strike by the bookmakers holding membership in the Metropoli- l tan Turf association for the restoration of their exclusive privileges. No con cession was made and they weakened in time to do business as usual.
 i To-day, as always since the Suburban was inaugnrated in 1884, great crowd gathered at Sheepshead, the favorite metropolitan track. Tn numbers the gathering was many thousands short of some years, but the grandstand was filled and the lower-priced field stand Twas damned. Probably tWo-thirds of those in the grandstand were women, 5so that the management did not profit to any extent by the scale of increased prices recently put into effect.
 The excitement caused by the strike of the booknakers came before the first race. The Jockey club until recently had accepted fixed sum daily from leach member of the association, in re- turn for which it's members were given a monopoly of the inner circle in the betting ring. Non-members were rele- gated to the rear, or dead line" When the turf authorities decided to sever all business relations with the .bookmakers they established 8 rule that a certain 1 1c,nntinued on Eighth Page.l
