MAYOR ELBOWS LEA.
Would Give Cafe karager Harrington
 lime to Prepare Himself

It is thought that Mayor Elton's sug- gestion as a way out of the Harring. ton cafe case will find favor with the aldermen and that he will be permitted to remain at the old stand for the present. The mayor wanted to know how it would do to grant Mir Harrine> ton a license for three months and at the end of that time if he could show that he had plans perfected for another stand which would be availab able within q reasonable time, six months or SO, his license could be continued until that time and in this way the end in view would be attained and Mr Har~ rington would not suffer. The mayor appears to have tender spot iu his heart and eyed the cafe man with some emotion when he said that sev- enteen persons are looking to that cart for q living. It looked at one time as if the petitioner might get chance to do business on the green. Mir Wade remarking that he would just as soon see the lunch wagon there as where 1t
 is, whereupon MT Jackson, who aps peared to look at the question from the mayors standpoint, wanted to know If MT Wade would vote to allow Mir liar. rlngton to put the cart on the green. but the commissioner promptly replied that he would not.

St Petersburg, Feb 1.-The retire ment Of Interior Minister Sviatopolk- Mlrsky was officially announced to. day, Ill health being assigned as the reason. NJ. Durnovo, former minister of posts aud telegraphs, becomes act ing minister of the interior. NJ. BOuii- gan, former governor general of Mos COW, seems most likely to be Prince Syiatopolk-Mirsky's successor, but no decision has yet been reached. The gossips are saying that Emperor Mich Olas has offered the portfolio to M Wit,e, president of the committee Of ministers.
 Prince Sviatopolk- -Mirsky's desire to retire had been known for weeks, but the manner in which it was announced was unusual, the retirement Of q mn. ister being generally accompanied by an imperial rescript. For this reason the toi III of the announcement is popu- larly accepted as reprimand. Among the extreme reactionar4es and even among some of the more moderate con. servauves. Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky has been blamed for having from the very outset of his career encouraged all sorts of liberal aspirations winch, being impossible of immediate realiza. ton. brought the present storm about the head of the go. ernment.

FIGHTING AGAIN TO-DAY.

Mukden, Jan 31, via Tientsin, Feb |. -Cannonading on the center and right commenced again today. The Russian army has re-occupied it's old positions, having returned from Sanchiapu San depas ).
 The main events in the interior of Russia have been published in the off, cial army paper so that the troops to a certain extent realize the present con- ditions, but the plans for the army are shown to be entirely independent of home events as the reasons given iy the commanders for retiring fully ex. plain the army's movements and show them to have been independent of the weather.
 4 large part of the wounded are being cared for at Mukden, where the hospitals and trains are filled and the Red Cross corps is active.
 The situation as it further develops is better realized and understood, though it is not less ominOus, as the weather has moderated and the Japan csc ale aggressive.
 Regarding the first reports of large Russian losses it is now said that a considerable part of the first corps and General Stakelberg, its commander have rejoined the main body of the army and retired to their old positions

CORNELL DAM FINISHED.
Cost The City of New York Nine
 Million Dollars.

New York Feb After ten years of labor and the expenditure of S9.vO0, GOO. the new Cornell dam. near Croton- on-Hrslson. in Westchester county, from which this city will draw largely for water supply, has been practically completed. It is the largest piece of masonry in the world except the Pyra mids of Egypt. The tloodgates have been shut down for the first time and the dam has begun filling with water.
 The engineers estimate that it will require about two years for the dam to fill. When the water reaches the nase of it's coping. it will make lake sixteen miles long.
 For the first year New York'S prin- cipal supply of water will come from the overflow of the Croton dam. The latter will then be flooded and the water will rise thirty feet above it. The new dam will hold 3O,000, ,00U, GOO gallons of water.
 The closing of the immense gates and the flooding of the sites of half dozen abandoned towns in northern Westchester attracted many people desiring to witness the beginning of the inundation which is to change the map of the surrounding country and cover their former homesteads and old landmarks.
 To avoid an injunction to prevent the flooding of the watershed the New York city watershed authorities agreed among other things, to pay for the maintenance of four new iron bridges erected by the city. and to maintain the guide rails and fences around the borders of the inundated region. The towns also demand extra allowances for the cost of maintaining the new roads built by the city in the place of the old ores.
 The original contract price for the dam was s5.0o0000. hut the contract was broken and the work was done by the cubic yard.

 Tor three days past q heavy artilIery fire mas been Kapr up by the Russi..is on General Uku S ieTt, running To-day tvwards the center. The Japanese have not replied to the cannnadc, awaiting an attack by the Russians. who have Deen neavily reinforced. ft is believed now that they have numer. ous divisions along the Shakhe river.
 The Japanese force has also been m. creased. and everything now seems reaay for the greatest conflict yet re- corded in the history of the present war.
 The move upon the part of the Rus siaps seems to indicate a desire to strike soon. in a desperate attempt to avense the fall of Port Arc.iur. Prob ably the revolutionary outbreaks fin Russia have determined General Kuro- pafKin to make Ii desperate effort to gain victory before the outbreak iD Russia becomes known to the army.
 The utter failure of the recent cav. airy raid by the Russians on the rail. road shows the futility of further al. tenpts of the kind. With the ground so solidly frozen troops on the advance would have great difficulty fin entrench. ing 10 secure the slightest cover. The advantage of the situation would bp entirely on the side of the army on thr defensive.

VALUE OF CPALS
 DEPENDS ON COLONS

Veins of opals are usually met with ill soft formations, where nothing above ground indicates their presence. The search for them, therefore, often requires considerable time. But it is not extremely difficult, for opals are generally found near the surface. h. deed, it was thought for long time that they were not to be found as deep as twelve feet below the surface. This opinion has, however. given way in the light of evidence because Opals of great value have been discovered at d depth of fifty feet.
 The value of Opals depends upon several considerations, of which the principal one is the color. It is i'm portant that they should be bright and not present streaks or spots alternating with uncolored substance, The most valuable are those which have red fires ol mixtures of red and yellow, blue and green. Opals of single tint are of little value, unless the tint is par, ticularly sriking and the figure beau- tiful. Indeed. one of the essential qualities of the opal is the arrange. ment of the figure, which sets off strikingly the hue of the stone.
 When the figure is quite regular and distinct it is the more valuaDie, much less So than when the grain is quite small and irregular. Sometimes the color appears as single blaze, or with figures regularly spaced. It may then be of fine ruby red and is much sought after, but oftenest the uniform tint is only green or reddish and has but little brilliancy to speak of.
 The cutting is very important for the opal: thus thick stone will be much less beautiful than thin stone, which, on losing part of its volume. loses also the figure. The foundation unt con, tributes much to the beauty. It ough, to be transparent, slightly milky and harmonize fully with the different re factions of the opal which, when it is really beautiful, presents a variety of hues infinitely pleasing to the eye.- Jewellers Circular Weekly.

WILL THEY SIkIKE.
The Subway Emp.oyss at New York
 A,e Very kestless.

New York. Feb IA strike of suh- and the men declare that unless their demands shall have been granted by o'clock this afternoon they will quit. Only few days ago it was announced that friction between the company and its employees had been removed. The latest trouble only became known early today when the executive con- ms.tee representing three grades Of employee adjourned after meeting held in the Bronx and 1t was declared that the men object more to the new est time schedules than they did to the old and the leaders came out threatening an immediate strike.
 The three associations represented were the local branch of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, the Amalramated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees and the local union of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen. These men de- cared that unless the officials of the Interborough company acceded to their demands and remedied certain changes made after the company'S promises were given last Thursday a strike would he called and the subway completely tied up.
 According to the men, the company changed the schedule of the local and express trains in the subway Tuesday morninr so that the employees were compelled to make an extra trip. The men say they were not consulted about this change and 1t was late in the afternoon before they realized what 1t meant. Chairman Pepper of the Amaleamated association at nnro investieated and says he found that the company had violated every prom. ise made last Thursday. According to Pepper and the others. the fifteen minutes rest wh'ch motormen were to get at the northern terminal after each trip had heen abolished. and the men are now forced to 1n more than fen hvu-s work day. which Is in vio- laticn of the agreement of last au- tur'n.

IN CHINATOWN.
Police Investigating Second Murder in Twenty.
 Four Hours.

New York, Feb For the second time in twenty-four hours the po.ice have been called upon to investigate murder in Chinatown which is be- lieved to have resulted from feud be- tween denizens of that quarter. The victim of yesterdays affray was an Americanized Chinaman who was found dying in the dark hallway of Mott street tenement. Several arrests were made at the time but there is lit tie evidence against any of the prison CTS. Tie victim of to-day's murder was Joseph Reilley, white man, who the police say, was well known to them. He was found dying on the sidewalk in Doyers street and lived only five minutes after a policeman reached him. The officer had heard three pistol shots and rushed around corner to find Reilley lying on the sidewalk with a bullet wound in his head. A man who gave bis name as Henry Roth and said he was a musi- clan, who was standing near the dying man, was arrested. After the prisoner had been taken to the station, how ever, the officers said that they did not consider him as the principal in the murder.
 Reilley, the murdered man. the po- lice say, was known as ''Hobnail'' and had a long criminal record. He was arrested in Pittsburg in 1885 and sen fenced to nine years imprisonment for larceny. In 1897. under the name of John Ray, he was sent to prison for a year in Philadelphia. Soon after . his release re was arrested in St Louis on charge of picking pockets and sentenced to eight months in the work house.

ANTl.INJUNCTl0N BILL.
Congressmen Receives Numerous
 Teesrams and Letters.

From Our Special Correspondent.)
 Washington, Feb 1.-The Connecti- cut members, and in fact all the mem. bers of congress. are deluged at pres, ent with telesrams and letters from the manufacturers throughout the country, urging opposition to the anti. injunction bills now before congress. Last session very large number of these bills were presented, and the house committee on the judiciary had some meetings on these bills. Noth- ing came Of the agitation. however. and it was thought the subject had been dropped.
 It is only recently that the matter has been given fresh impetus. and it Is understood here to have emanated from the White House. Several prom inent labor leaders are back of the movement, and bill has been drawn by Judge Jenkins, chairman of the house committee On the Judiciary, which Is known as the administrative bill, and is the only one that is liable to be considered at all. The bill pro- vides: That in cases involving or growing out of labor disputes neither an injunction nor temporary restrain ing order shall be granted. except upon due notice to the opposite party by the court in term, or by a judge thereof in vacation, after hearing, which ma, be ex-parte if the adverse party does Tot appear at the time and place or. dered.''
 The committee on the judiciary Of the house will grant hearings on this bill before anything is done, and At torney Daniel Davenport of Bridgeport is here in the interest of the Connccti- cut manufacturers 1t is hardly proba. ble that the bill can pass both the sen. ate and the house this session.

Man Who Has Figured In Sensational Matrimonial Sto. res-his Wife Did Not Return With Him-No Indict- ment A. ainst Him Yet, But kany Have Been Issued Morse Says He Is Ready to Answer Charges

New York. Feb 1.-Charles w. Morse. former president of the Ameri- can Ice Co and promoter of an eXten- sive bank consolidation plan. who has long been central figure in one of the most sensational matrimonial tangles of recent years, arrived here today on the steamer Deutschland after a prolonged stay in Europe. Mrs Clem- ence Cowles Dodge-Morse, the mil llonalre's wife, did not accompany her husband. During the absence of MT Morse abroad the long and searching investigation of the Dodge divorce reached point where the grand jury of New York county returned criminal indictments against at least half a dozen persons, among them two law yerS Of wlGe prominence. Eome of tle indictments returned by the jury have not yet been made public and it was believed that further sensational de velopments would quickly follow the arrival of the steamer on which Morse took passage from the other side. No announcement officially had been made as to what course the authorities hav- ing the Dodge Xuree tuLgir ,nyesr.ga- tion in hand would pursue, but it was believed that an attempt would be made to supplement the evidence al
 ready m possession of the district at
 tolney's office by requiring the appear
 ance and testimony of Morse on sub poena. Samuel Cnrermyer, Mir Morses attorney. announced q few days ago that the district attorney had prom ised not to serve such a subpoena upon Morse publicly immediately upon his arrival, but there the matter has been allowed 10 stand. Upon the arrival of the neutschland at quarantine Mr Morse said that he had returned to an- swer any charges that may be made.
