PRES. MELLEN MAKES
 TROLLEY PROPOSITION
FIRST STEP TO ESTABLISH FA- CILT1TES FOR HARTFORD
 INTERURBAN TRAFFIC

Trolley Connection Between the Capitol
 City and Waterbury One of the Re-
 suits if Plans Are AdOpted-May0r
 Henney FavOrs Quick ActiOh-Thinks
 Scheme Splendid One--TrOuble Over
 the Style of Rail.
 Hartford. July 1.-The Consolidated Railway company has made it's first move to establish trolley facilities for the inter-urban traffic, and to make a trolley connection between Water bury and this city. This morning Mayor William F. Henney received from Pres ident c. s, Mellen of the railway com pany a communication, in which the company petitions for the right to con- meet with the tracks through Inlay street and continue to Pennington ave- nre, to Ford to Pearl to Main, to North Main, to High, to Asylum thus completing a loop in the central part of the city without going around city hall.
 It is the intention of President Mel len to substitute the proposed loop for the present "dinky" engine service, the complaints made by the patrons of the road evidently having some effect.
 LA section of President Mellen's let ter says
 Assuming that such a permission is granted by the proper authorities of the city, we undertake, as soon as the work may be done. to prepare the tracks of the New England railroad be- tween the point of connection at or near Inlay street for the operation by trolley, and the cars thereon operated to all make the loop through the streets of Hartford before outlined, substitut- ing the proposed service for the pres ent, and that we have been obliged to discontinue temporarily, through the injunction recently granted enjoining further operation of the third rail ser, vice."
 Mayor Henney considered the letter a very important one. In his opinion in which he was supported by many other prominent men, the scheme pro- posed is a splendid one, and he would be heartily in favor of carrying 1t through as quickly as possible, provid- ing some compromise regarding the style of rail to be used could be ac- complished. As is known, the populace of Hartford strongly object to the "T'' rail, which is the style the com | pany propose to use.

GOOD REASON 10 BEWARE
 OF CANNED MEAT GOODS
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH or MASSACHUSETTS GIVES
 OUT FACTS.

Although Favorable to Manufacturers
 in Some Instances Gross MisreDre-
 sentation is Shown in Others-This
 Especially So in Potted Ham-One
 Brand That Showed Large Amount
 of Foreign Matter--CornmeaI Used to
 Give Weight.
 Boston, July 11.-In order that the people of Massachusetts might know the truth with regard to the nature of the canned meat products which are sold in this state, the state board of health to-day made public the result of an investigation which it has been conducting into the matter. The board examined nearly 15O different kinds of canned meat from every possible sourse, as well as the canned meat establish ments.
 The examinations included tests not only as to the presence of chemical pre- servatives, but also as to the actual materials used in "potted" and "devil- led" meats and meat loaf" In gen. eral way, the results of the investiga- tion are favorable to the manufactur- CTS, both in the east and in the west, but it was found that many of the preparations contained large amount of foreign matter. Of one brand of pot ted ham, prepared by western firm, the report states:
 This was found to consist of a small amount of normal muscle, considerable epidermis in large pieces, numerous blood vessels and nerves and salivary gland, ground to a paste. The quality was poor, the material being largely scrap"
 Of another western potted ham the report says:
 Abundant muscle fibre, considerable epidermis, much granular debris, some fat and corn meal Quality fair, but, inasmuch as there appears to be no ex- cuse for the presence of corn meal, it must be regarded as adulterated."
 An eastern potted ham is described as follows:
 Appearance good, muscular fibre abundant; contains neither epidermis nor salivary gland. Quality excellent" :"
 A number of the other products, the board of health states, contains corn meal. The board says:
 "Devilled ham is. or should be, ham to which seasoning has been added. The majority of devilled hams in the market, however, contain added ma terial which in no way can contribute to a sharp taste, or, indeed, to any taste Corn meal, for example, adds nothing to the flavor, but it is cheap and enables a meat product to carry considerable additional water
 Several brands of prepared meat were found to contain either boracic acid or borax as a preservatiye. One eastern chicken loaf Is thus described
 Very little muscular fibre; much connective tissue and corn. It is pre- served with either boric acid or borax. The label states that the material is of superior quality, having been carefully selected and inspected according to the law enacted by congress March 3, 1891, relating to the inspection of meats

NO HOPE FOR CHOUKNIN
Severe and Much Hated Russian Ad-
 mfraI Victim of Assassin.


 Sebastopol, July 11.-An attempt was made at 1 o'clock this afternoon to as- sassinate Vice-Admiral Chouknin, com mander of the Black Sea fleet. The ad- mira1 was wounded and taken to a hos pital
 Admiral Chouknin's condition is ex- tremely serious. The bullet lodged in his lung, making breathing difficult. The doctors hold out no hope of his re- covery.
 The admirars assailant is thought to be one of the sailors of the battleship Otohalzoff, and his act is supposed to be in revenge for the execution of Lieutenant Schmidt, the revolutionary leader. Admiral Chouknin was univer- sally hated by his sailors, and at the time of the execution of Schmidt the revolutionists condemned him to death, one hundred of their number pledging themselves to carry out the sentence. This Is the second attempt since Schmidt's execution, March 19 of this year. The first attempt was made by a woman. and after her effort had failed Admiral Chouknin ordered her to be killed on the spot, and his orderlies brutally carried out the sentence in the courtyard For this the admiral was again condemned to death by the revo- lutionists. His name was never men tioned among his sailors unless it was accompanied by curses, on account of his overbearing and severe manner.

DIGNITY IN HONEST TOLL
CHILD SHOULD BE so TAUGHT
 SAYS GOVERNOR UTTER.

Governors Roberts and Bell Unable to
 be Present at Session of American
 nstitute--TroubIesom Boy May be
 Won Over by Personal Attention of
 Teacher Says Carol G. Pearse--
 Ovation for Governor Utter.
 Last nights session of the American Institute of Instruction opened with a very pleasant musical programme. L. w. Sullivan rendered vocal solo, and was encored several times. Mrs. Sullivan was the accompanist. Then the Temple Male quartette of Hartford rendered several selections. The audi ence went into raptures over their per fornances, and they responded to sev- en encoree.
 When the musical part of the pro gramme was finished the speakers of the evening took their seats on the platform. Governor Roberts was un- able to be present, and also Governor Bell of Vermont Unavoidable official duties kept them away. The first speaker was George Walker, who ex- pressed his pleasure in being able to attend. He was followed by Dr. Wdl- liam A. Mowry of Hyde Park, Mass. who uttered words of encouragement to the teachers. Dr. Mowry was giv- on an ovation as he rose to speak
 Carroll G. Pearse, superintendent of schools in Milwaukee, Wis, next de- llvered an address on the subject, "On the Trail of the Troublesome Boy" This address was to have been deliver ed at yesterday mornings session, but owing to lack of time at that session was postponed until last night He said that the whip was formerly the only way in dealing with the trouble somo boy, but now teachers are begin ming to study into the causes of lack of attention on the part of pupils, and they find that the physical condition of the child plays a large part in that child's development.
 In introducing the principal speaker of the evening, who was Hon. George H. Utter governor of Rhode Island President Ranger referred to him as one whom the teachers of his own state honor for his sympathy and loyal devotion to them, They have often prohted by his wise counsels, and MT. Ranger considered 1t great honor to introduce him.
 Governor Utter spoke in a very hap py vein, and kept his audience in the best of humor. At times the smiles which he provoked broke forth into laughter and applause. He said in part:
 Tt is only natural that a public ser vant refer particularly to the public schools. The state has founded these schools not for assistance of the indlv- idual alone as much as for tho as- sistance of all through the individual. It is a rule of social development that the whole body is affected by the in- dividual; as the individual advances the whole advances. Therefore, while the public education may affect tho in | dividuaI primarily, it is not for hisn to accept of it as gift for himself, but as a trust for all.

BRIGADE NOW ALL IN CAMP
MILITIA WILL TAKE UP REGU-
 LAR ROUTINE TO-DAY.

Second Regiment Had Splendid Defen-
 sive Position in the Sham Battle Yes-
 terday MOrning--Kept Cover in
 Splendid Style--Advance of the Third
 Well Timed-Action at Close Range.
 Camp Cole, Mantle, July 11.-With all the commands of the First brigade, Connecticut National Guard, which have been ordered here, under canvas tonight, the brigade camp may be said to be in effect tonight, although bri- gade guard was not detailed for duty at headquarters and the gates. After the strenuous work of the morning in the second sham fight in the valley from Gorton's Mills to the Boston schoolhouse road about all the men were willing to sleep In their hot tents during the day The sun was scorching for several hours, but this was temper ed later by cool breeze. Both the reg iments had their guards on duty dur ing the day, and both had evening parade.
 Tomorrow all the commands will take up the routine ordered by Briga- dier-G General Frost, and guard mount is likely to see the field well dotted with civilian visitors. Major Isbell, of the Second infantry, will be brigade officer of the day, and with the detailing of the guards there will come guard in spections and instruction, something the men have not had to any extent as yet. There will be company and battalion drills in the morning and review of the regiments In the afternoon by Ma jor- General Grant, U, s. A.
 Now that the sham fights are over, much praise is heard for all the com mands. The general opinion in camp is that the Second had strong defensive position this morning, its men in all the advance lines taking and keeping cover in splendid style, the previous days skirmishing having taught them many lessons. The advance of the Third was well timed, and so much advantage was taken of the woods that the main force got very close to the support of Colonel Geddes and the action was one at close range.
 Now that these manceuvres are over, the officers are enjoying hearty laughs over some of the funny phases of the fighting. All agree that had more am intuition been served 1t would have been easier to have determined what and when commands were out of action. But, nevertheless, the experience given the men is considered to have repaid all hardships encountered. For the rest of the week most of the men in camp will entertain. The concert at brigade headquarters tonight was giv- en by the Third infantry band
