Scarcely a Ripple.

St Petersburg, Nov 13.-The arrl- val of Count Witte here yesterday created scarcely ripple in Russian politics. In contrast with his recep- ton after his return from Ports mouth. the count wns met at the de- pot by only Baron Aide and few re- porters and he received q few callers this morning. The rare arrivals were scrutinixetl most closely by agents of the secret police. on account of the re- ported threats of assassination. Count Witte denied himself to reporters and declined to make a statement regard ing his reported Intention of resign ing his seat in the council of the en- pire and being a candidate for cleo tion of parliament The constitution ar democrats are eager to receive him in their ranks in case he decided to be candidate.
 It is suthoritatively stated that measures for relieving the Jews of many of their liabilities will be pub lished ns temporary legislation before the cOnvocation of parliament, as foreshadowed in Premier Stolypin's communication of September 6. The full extent of the reforms is still matter for discussion by the cabinet but they comprise permission for Jews to live in the country as we'll as In the cities within the pale. and the removal of certain restrictions placed on Jewish merchants and ar- tisans In cities outside the pale. The full settlement of the Jewish prom lem Is left to parliament, the govern ment not being willing to venture deeply into the matter for fear of stirring up n storm of anti-semitlc op- position.

BULLS BRIDGE AGAIN.
Dam Broke This Morning and Power
 is Gone Again.

The Connecticut RAILWAY anu Lighting company seems to be des- tined to have trouble with its Bulfs Bridge dam, for this morning about 8 o'clock the dam broke once more, and although it was not as big the one which tied up the service Tn Waterbury, New Britain, Southing- ton. Cheshire and Plainville some weeks ago, 1t was just as disastrous in its results. The break was noticed by workmen nearby before 1t had time to make much headway, bu the power plant at New Milford will be unable to render any service until the break is repaired.
 As result of the break this city is in exactly the same condition as it was during the recent mishap to the dam. The toll service was not effected much. that is the local al vision, as the Bank street station im- mediately started to furnish power for the cars as soon as the break WE reported in this city. Some of the street lights will burn this evening as the Scovill Manufacturing com pany has again come to the rescue of the c. R. and l.. Co and will furnish the power for the lights this evening. The Cheshire line was knocked out for the time being. but 1t was finally started running and will operate un- til the break is repaired on an hour schedule.
 It was about o'clock this morn ing when workmen near by the wooden aqueduct which was built near the last break noticed the leak and efforts were immediately made to stop the on rush of water. When the dam broke last time the wate rushed over the meadows taking ev- erything before it. but this morning before the water had chance to get away 1t was taken in hand.
 Because of the break this morning and the one of few weeks ago it i feared that the whole dam may b. unsafe and all day workmen have been carefully watching for other leaks.
 Very little information was ser to this city in regard to the break As soon as 1t was possible General Manager Sewell, David Meth. chief of the power service, and Joseph My CTS. commercial agent for the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting com pany, started for the scene of the ac- cident in an automobile.
 The break will not be felt in this city nearly so much as the former one. for the Bank street plant wa in readiness for a large amount of extra work. while a few weeks ago when the accident to the dam oc- cured the Bank street plant haf been out of order for some months and 1t took some time fore 1t was set In operation.
 The plant will be again taxed to It's utmost capacity. but as 1t was able 10 get by before in the face of the large amount of extra work. it Is thought that 1t will be able to do so again.
 Word was received from Bulls bridge this afternoon that the maxi mum time in which it would take to repair tho break would be ten days. although it is thought that it might ne in little less time. The break Is in the south end of the caaaI md Is in the lower end of the fine. The break isn't as serious as the one which was repaired few weeks ago ind is in another part of the canal.

 Dr. I. W. Thorne of San Francisco joined the local physicians Saturday, and slight rally took place, but q sinking spell followed. Dr. Herzstein of San Francisco arrived Sunday and deemed an operation the only means of relief from the intestinal obstruction, but 1t was sure to be fatal and was not attempted.

Cheerful and hopeful, though fully cognisant of his critical condi- ton, the general remained conscious until Q o'clock in the morning Pure oxtgen sent from San Francisco per formed great work in keeping life up, but after midnight and early in the morning constant weakening was discerned. Dr. Mitchell and the train- cd nurses labored untiringly. but the general lapsed Into unconsclousness at Q o'clock and remained in that condi- tion until death came. Captain and Mrs. McKittrick, the generals son-in. law and daughter: Miss Edmunds, a niece. and James N. Shafter, brother, were at the bedside at the close.

Connecticut Min Was the Victim of . Gang Of Hold Up Men at New YoIk EirIy This Morning
 k Now Unconscious
WAS LOOKING FOR WORK

New York, Nov 13.-Crazed as a result of blow on the head probably dealt with blackjack wielded by a hold-up man, young man believed to be John DriscoIl of Waterford, Conn, is raving maniac at Bellevue hospital. His skull was crushed by the blow and his condition is be- lieved to be critical. The victim is about 24 years old. His clothing is of good quality and he appears to be a man of refinement.
 DriscoH was found lying across the sidewalk at 116th street and Amster- dam avenue early to-day. He was unconscious. An ambulance surgeon found a long wound above and be- hind the right ear and at onco sug- gested that the man had been set up- on by thugs. It was thought at that time that the man was not seriously hurt as he responded quickly to treat ment and after he had recovered cop sciOusness seemed little the worse for his experience When he was taken to police station to give the officers what assistance he could in finding out how he received his injuries, how ever, he began to shout and struggle in a manner that left no doubt that the blow had affected his brain All efforts to calm the man proved futile and it became necessary to remove him to Bellevue.
