NOT so MANY DEsERTIoNs.
Only Eighty Absentees from Ships.
 Some of These straggIers.

Washington, April 14.--In view of re- cent publications to the effect that there have been heavy assertions from ters, an official statement has been is- sued by the chief of staff that on the eighth instant the total number of ab- sentees from the ships was eighty, only 8 trifie more than one per cent. of the personnel of the fleet. Moreover, these are set down as stragglers instead of deserters, as it is believed that many have simply oyerstayed their leave and will return to the vessels. The showing is regarded as excellent.

CONSOLIDATED'S PLAN
 TO ENTER NEW YORK
ALLIANCE WITH METRoP0LI-
 TAN TRACTION INTERESTS.

Transit CommissiOn-ReIatiOn Close
 and Will be CIoser-Road Will Have
 Inlet Into Heart of New York With
 out Running over the Tracks of the
 New York Central.
 New York, April 14.-Oficial conf1r- nation of. an alliance between the Met ropolitan Traction interests and the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad concerning mutual use of the proposed Metropolitan subways came to-day when President c. S. Mellen of the New Haven road authorized John B. Mcdonald to state the facts to the Rapid Transit commission.
 MT. Mcdonald received telegram from Mir. Mellen which authorized him to inform the Rapid Transit commits sion that arrangements had been made for the establishment of immediate con- nections between the New Haven road and the proposed subway at the Willis avenue station.
 The plan includes the transfer of passengers from New Haven trains at this point so that they can take the Metropolitan subway, if constructed, and thus run into the heart of the city with the privilege of transferring to any of the surface lines of the Metro politan. MT. Mellen also authorized MT. McDonald to say that the relations be- tween the Metropolitan and the New Haven are close, and probably will be closer -~r
 For some time the New Haven road has been engaged in six-tracking it's road from New Rochelle to the Willis avenue station. The plans of the Met ropolitan people for their proposed sub way have been so arranged that either their proposed Third avenue line or the proposed Lexington avenue line, or both, would tap the Willis avenue sta- ton and take passengers from the rail- road. This would give the New Haven road an inlet to the heart of the city without running over the tracks of the New York Central road into the Grand Central station as now.

CHICAGO STRIKE,
Mayor Dunnc Announces He Has Made
 No Progress Toward Peace.

Chicago, April 14.-After a day and a large part of the night spent in confer ence with both sides in the Montgom- cry Ward & Co. strike Mayor Dunne late tonight announced that he had made no progress toward a settlement of the trouble and he did not seem hopeful that an adjustment will come in the near future. Further confer ences will be held tomorrow. The great obstacle to the settlement is that the teamsters insist that the strike of the garment workers, now four months old, be arbitrated before the teamsters return to work, and the employers in- sist that the teamsters return to work before anything is done concerning the garment workers.

Barnum & Bailey.
 New York, April 14.-J. A. Bailey, manager of the Barnum & Bailey cir GUS. announced tonight that "the street parades will be omitted this year, The fact that the show is now too big to give street processions, the knowledge that the limit of cars railroads are will ing to handle has been reached, and the time required to place in position the apparatus used in various features have been factors in forcing this conclusion. A careful investigation has also led him to believe that the circus parade is no longer popular on account of late arri- vals of the show, indictment weather, unavoidable long waits and the conse- quent delay of the afternoon perform anCe.

ARREST IN LOCKWOOD CASE.
Young Man. Taken. Into Custody by
 Waterbury Police.


 waterbudry, April 14.-Frederick G. Preston, aged twenty-three years. is under arrest here charged with com plicity in the assault on Thomas Cole Lockwood on February 2s last, when Lockwood was attacked in his town farmhouse on the Park road and left for dead. The old man died a week ago of the injuries. He was accosted by two strangers while he sat at a table reading a book, and sandbagged and left unconscious. The house was then rifled.
 Preston is wanted more because of the belief of the police that he knows all about the assault than because he is suspected by them of actually partici- pating in it.

 St. Petersburg, April 15.-1:15 a. m.-- In receiving a, delegation of Workmen from Moscow yesterday Finance Minis ter Kokovsoff gave notice to the work
 men of Russia. that a government CO.,
 mission is now formulating legislation to remedy the greater part of their grievances, including state insurance against sickness, accident and age, and for shortening the hours of labor, abol- ishing the prohibition of unions and criminal punishment of strikes, and for the establishment of an industrial court in which employers and employed shall be represented. The minister pointed out to the delegation the impossibility of elaborating in moment legislation of such weighty and far reaching char acter, and declared that the energy with which the commission is working
 gave it the right to demand sufficient E.time for the preparation and considera- tion of proposed laws, and said that in- dustrial disturbances such as have oc- cured hamper instead of furthering the work. s. 3| The Moscow workmen presented a pc ton of rights under eleven heads, five of which are covered in the foregoing statement. .-..~s<
 This interview with the minister of l finance, lasting an hour and a half, is another indication of the general con- ciliatory spirit of the government. The evident desire to cure, where possible, the maladies of the empire is manifest
 ed by the peasant commission, the Finnish and Polish concessions, and the establishment of the bouligan comrnis- | sion. The government throughout takes the stand that all these reforms are | too great to be lightly or hastily han dled, and that premature and ill-con- sidered legislation would be worse than
 none at all. It appeals to the dissatis- 1 fled to give their rulers a full and fair
 chance to accomplish the legislation | they demand. t...

Uprising May occur May pny.

St. Petersburg, April 14.-Develop- ments all point to a crisis in the pres- Ient agitation among the workmen of the cities and the peasants in the coun- try on May day, and appeals are pour
 ing in from all quarters of Russia for military protection. The St. Petersburg
 workmen are preparing a great demon- Istration. Arms and bombs in large quantities have been sn1uggled in, and bloodshed on a large scale is feared. Wealthy persons, who ordinarily go to villas on the islands of the Neva, or to Ineighboring country places, this year are going abroad, The government has taken few special measures to meet the situation, evidently relying on the
 troops and police to guard the capital. The latter are extremely active. All the prominent agitators are being ar rested or have already been sent back to the villages from which they origi- nally came. The prisons are filled to |overflowing.

MANY WOUNDED ON BOARD.
Arrival of Russian Hospital Ship at
 Saigon.

Manila, April 14.-Rear Admiral Train in command of the Americaa fleet in Asiatic waters, received telegram at 3 o'clock this afternoon from Saigon, the capital and principal port of French Cochin-C China, reporting the arrival there of the Russian hospital ship, Orel at 8 o'clock on the morning of April 1S. The OreI, the dispatch said, had many wounded on board.
 St. Petersburg, April 14.-5:15 p. m.-- The admiralty's advices from Saigon do not mention any wounded men being on board the Russian hospital ship Orel, which arrived there yesterday. She probably has sick sailors on board. It is understood that the Orel will leave Saigon at once and rejoin Admiral Ro- jestvensky's squadron, which may be standing off somewhere up the coast awaiting the hospital ship.
 The admiralty has not received any dispatches recently from Vice Admiral Rojestvensky. Much satisfaction is ex- pressed in naval circles at the bold, di- rect manner in which Rojestvensky is carrying out the objects of his voyage. <
 The officials say that all talk of the emergence of any of the interned Rus sian war vessels to join Rojestvensky's squadron is pure nonsense.
 The attitude of indifference in certain quarters of society as to the outcome of the naval battle, is arousing criticism, and Prince Onktornsky in his new pa . paY. tha naYpr faIrnS Snciatv fo 4 a clr fov it's unpatriotic, careless attitude.
