Admiral W. s. Schley, the gallant hero of the Santiago battle, Is what might be termed ladies man." in that whenever he delivers a public address he always refers in the warmest terms of the fair sex. In a recent address the heroic admiral speaking on "The American Wo- man." said: Our arms are their de- fense and their arms are our recon pense. Nothing that can be said of woman will meet her merit I am her devotee and am ever at her feet. The men of to-day are as knightly as they have been in any of the periods past, for knightly manhood is sure to accompany fair womanhood and the women of to-day are as coy and attractive as in times of more ostentatious chivalry"

Manager William A. Brady has opened vigorous war upon those dramatic critics who, as he puts it would rather be funny than right
 He declares that plays which the critics ridicule or condemn go out be. fore the people and make fortunes for their owners. Says Mir Brady: Tn France and Germany are great publics who love these people behind the footlights, who do their best night after night to make their audi ences laugh and cry, but here in America we have men who can find nothing to say of an actress save that she talks like a megaphone' or walks like a dodo.' They use us as targets for their cheap sarcasm and wit. I will fight them, fight them as they never have been fought before. They cannot cruelty me so long as am able to fight. and I pray the time will come when the public will re- fuse to laugh at their witticisms."

Within short time the national house of representatives will be con- fronted with the proposition of whether or not it will stand by the recommendations of its committee on agriculture and abolish the "congres- sional free seed distribution. It is somewhat surprising that there should be any doubt as to the action of the house. and yet the committee fears that it's recommendations will be disregarded and that the appropri- stion will be voted back into the bill. If this is done in the house it will be in direct oposition to overwhelming public sentiment. Secretary of Agri- culture Wilson is on record as firm in his opposition to this indiscrim- mate distribution of common garden seeds such as onion, turnip, radish and beans. The National grange, aroused by the insulting charge that the distribution is only continued be- cause the farmers want the seeds. by resolutions adopted at its conven- tion, through its presiding officer, N
 J. Bachelder of Concord, N. H., through its Legislative committee and in the columns of its official organ
 the National Grange Bulletin. has unsparingly denounced the practice and has resented the imputation that the farmers want these cheap seeds.

WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT. FRIDAY APRIL P, 1906
II IS NO DREAM.
CERTAINTY OF, ALL RAIL ROUTE
 FROM PARIS TO NEW YORK.
czar of Russia Signs Ukase Which Assures the Success of the Mgan- tic Enterprise-Work Yet
 to Be Done.

The project of an all rail journey 1 from Paris to New York suggested some years ago has been considered by great many people as merely the wild { dream of some adventurous enthusiast, but the promoters Of the gigantic un- dertaking have gone steadily on in 1 their purpose, and NJ. LOicqde Lbbel, the projector of the road, has just sent cablegram from St. Petersburg to William Harman Black, his New York l counsel, stating that the czar has just signed ukase authorizing a commis- sion named by the Russian railroad commissioners and the making of a survey by the route proposed for, the Intercolonial road from Irkutsk to East Cape, on Behring Sea. This link, connecting with lines already finished there and lines to be built here, will make an unbroken route of steel rail from New York to Farsi.
 M. de Lobel first interested Parisian capital in his plan few years ago, and a survey was made at cost of half million of dollars of strip IS miles wide, from Irkutsk, on the Trans-Siberian road, to Behring Sea, a distance of $500 miles-the line fol- lowing the richest agricultural and mineral regions in Russia. The com pany asked for grant of this strip as a bonus from the czar to aid in buIld- ing the great railway. Now that the concession has been signed nothing re- mains but to push on the work
 It is planned, of course, to utilize the existing lines>of railroad, and the standard gauge road which is now be- ing built in Alaska between Council City and the Salmon river will form one of the links of the transcontinen- tai line
 It is an interesting fact that while M. de Lobel was proposing ferry or bridge across Behring Strait he met with no approval in this country. But later, when he planned to tunnel the strait, he received encouragement from capitalists and engineers.
 Behring strait is 36 miles wide, with a depth of from 160 to 1S0 feet in the deepest place. Fortunately there are two islands between shores, which will greatly aid in hastening the tunnel work. because it will give the engineers places in mid-channel to sink shafts below the level of the sea, from which the excavators can work both ways toward the men digging from the shore ends of the tunnel
 When M. de Lobel was in New York last summer he formed an advisory committee composed of Alfred Craven, deputy chief engineer of the Rapid

Cortbell, member of that board and a constructing en- gineer of the West Shore road; pr. John A. L. Waddell. Kansas City, bridge engineer. and J. L. Harrington. chief engineer of the Montreal Loco motive and Machine company. Mir. Black, recently commissioner of &C., counts of New York city, is the Wall street attorney for NJ. de Lobel's great enterprise.
 Mir. Black said the great problem had been neither the tunnel nor the raising of money to build lines through Alaska, but to get the czar to officially authorize the building of the 4.0oo-miie link of new railway through Siberia This was what kept things at stand still so long.
 Now that the ukase has been signed there would be no difficulty in raising money to construct lines through Alas ka and Siberia. as we'll as the great tunnel under Behring strait. It is believed that these thousands of miles of railway, including the tun- nel itself, can be finished and trains running in from four 10 five years | ten years less time than 1t took to build the first Brooklyn bridge Including the approaches, the tun- nel will bs about 3s miles in length and this. with the $500 miles of rail. road which is to be constructed in Si- ! beria and the 1. 200 to be built in Alas.

Being Asked

There will be no regulation or fixing

Gil Monday.
The gas inspector and the city cleo
trician declare they have so far been
unable to compile the statistics nee
essary for action by the council and
will ask for further time.
The question of the regulation of
rates is largely considered an empty
proceeding
There will probably be no change
in the rates now charged except that
the Peoples Gas company may be
compelled to reduce it's price to that
charged by the Los Angeles Gas and
Electric company. This is IS cents a
thousand cubic feet. while the Peoples
company asks 81 for the same amount.
The Peoples company contends that
the difference in quality of gas fur
nished is worth more than the differ
ence in price.
company may be asked by the coun-
Gil to reduce its rates, but 1t is not
thought that any reduction will be
asked of the Home company, in spite
of the defiant attitude that corpora
ton has assumed towards the public
utility measure.
The city is now prosecuting this
company in the courts in order to
compel 1t to submit a statement of it's
financial condition, on which the coun-
Gil may base its action for the regu-
lation of rates.

DOG PRISONERS STILL BUSY
Ocean View Avenue Residents Mourn
the Loss of Valuable
Trained Collie

DIR. r. Wernigk, 1888 Ocean View
avenue, is one of the latest victims of
the dog prisoners.
A fine collie, for which he had re-
fused $1,000, was poisoned yesterday and
DR.. Wernigk feels the loss keenly. De-
tectives are quietly at work on this
and other cases and it is expected that
the PRISONERS will soon be brought to
justice.
DIR. w. A. Lamb, who is closely asso-
ciated with humane work, is taking a
deep interest in these cases of poison
ing and doing all in his power to aid
the detectives to catch the offenders.
The collie which met such an I'M
timely end was said to have been the
best educated dog in this part of the
country, and it is claimed for him that
his peer was not to be found any
where. He had been taught all kinds
of tricks and seemed endowed with al
most human intelligence.
The prisoners have been very busy
in that section of the city and a num-
Der of dogs and prize cats have been
killed.
