MAIL POUCH FOUND !
 THIS AFTERNOON Several Boys Stumbled Over t Wlo Going Through John P. FIiendi
 Yard
THE POUCH WAS EMPTY
So That if There Was Anythine
 Valuable In It the Thief HaS ' Made Off With It.

The mail pouch stolen from tho Waterville railroad station last Tues- day was picked up to-day in John F. Friends yard on East Main street by three or four youngsters, who took 1t into Fitzpatricks drug store. where 1t was later put into posses- sion of Detective Dodds. TheF6 wasn't thing in it when the boys found it, so that in case 1t contained, any valuables the light fingered joker that made away with it took care of that and then left the old pouch to look out for itself. Just, how it got into that part of the town is something nobody, not even the detective bureau, can tell, and the chances are that they will have to give 1t up and stow what clues they have on 1t away with those connect ed with other things that have baf- fled the authorities on and oft since the city first maintained a police officer on its payroll.
 The mail pouch was brought to tho station about 3 o'clock by Detective Dodds, who went to where the bag was found after being called up on the phone. The paddock on the bag was not broken, but there were two or three cuts near the top of 1t.
 Superintendent Beach shortly after the pouch was found said: We have found the bag, but that is all the tf- formation We care to give out. We. may or may not catch the man."

AT THE WEE BURN CLUB.
Former State Champion and Young
 ster Met This Afternoon.

Noroton, July 20.-In the semi final round in the state champion ship golf tournament at the Wee Burn Golf club course to-day Dr c. E. Martin of Fairfield, former state champion, met w. A. Jackson, the 17-years-old lad from the Arawana club of Middletown, and R. D. San- ford of Wee Burn played A. H. Chase of Norwich. Each has played fine game during the preliminary match es and there seems little choice be- tween them. If experience counts for anything, howver. in the game of golf Dr Martin should feel easier than the others about his chances for the premier golflng honor in the state as he is the only member of the old guard left in the tournament.
 The semi-finals in the consolation and bunker competitions were also played this morning. For the consola- tion cup the following are left to play: A. M Baldwin, Brooklawn; R. c. Carroll. Fairfield; G. P. Hart, Ma pie Hill, and R. I. Jackson, Arawana. s. Hopkins of Wee Burn, F. A. Lock- wood, Wee Burn, G. D. Munson, Wal lingford, and w. H. Race of Meriden are left to compete for the bunker cup.
 This afternoon there was handi- cap match and foursomes.
 As the result of the mornings play in the semi-finals Dr Martin and R. D. Sanford will meet tomorrow in the finals for the championship of Connecticut, these two having come through the tournament without a defeat. Dr Martin easily defeated w. A. Jackson, the boy golfer, this morning.

SOUNDS WARNING NOTE.
Secretary Morley Would Exclude In-
 dia from Field of Party Politics.

dla from Field of Party f0lltlcs.
 London, July 20.-In introducing the Indian budget in the house of commons to-day Indian Secretary Morley sounded warning note of the necessity of excluding India from the field of party politics. The most expressing of Great Britain's foreign relations, he declared, were the Asi- attic, those involving this country with China, Japan and Russia. which was a great Asiatic as we'll as Flu ropean power. Any false step in India would land Great Britain in con- fusion infinitely more dire and more disastrous than had the false step taken In South Africa.
 "India's case in the free trade con- troversy can be put in nutshell" he declared. "Her prosperity and comfort, theSgrowth of her trade and commerce, the solvency of India hang upon her exports. The United King dom takes 25 per cent. of her ex- ports. while Europe and the far east take 75 per cent. Thus when the peo- pie of Great Britain asked India for preferential duties they were asking her to discriminate against three- fourths of her customers"
 Mir Morley said the present gov ernment of India was in full sym pathy with the desires of the people for the introduction of more western ideas. With this object In view the viceroy was appointing a commission to inquire how far the extension of the Representative element in the legislative council could be expedi- ently carried out. The India secre- tary also said he considered that the natives ought to be given greater &C., cess to the higher posts in the admin istration of India.
 Mir Morley paid a tribute to the former viceroy, Lord Curzon of Ke- dleston, and his conspicuous. pas sionate and self-sacrificing devotion 10 the interests of India" and in be- half of the house he expressed sym pathy with Lord Curzon 'in the cruel blow which has desolated his hearth" referring to the death of Lady Curzon, July IS.

GERMANY WILL INSIST
That Stringent Laws in Regard to
 American Meat He Enforced.

New York. July 20.-The Heraid's correspondent at Berlin cables the following: Notwithstanding Presi- dent Roosevelt's official assurance that the new inspection laws will guarantee the purity of American meat exports. am informed that Germany will enforce new and more stringent regulations after Septem- Der IS against imports from Ameri- can packing houses.
 Meat inspectors at various Ger man ports have been instructed that, on the date named. they are to scrutinize glands of all i'm ported meat cuts for tuberculosis. and if symptoms are discovered the meat Is not to be permitted to enter.
