WELLMAN CONFIDENT.
Answers Peary's Criticism of Proposed
 Balloon Trip to Pole.

Answers Peary's Criticism of Proposed
 Balloon Trip to Pole.
 New York, April S-Walter Wellman. who arrived to-day on the Kaiser Will helm IT., expressed himself as well sat istled with all of his arrangements for his proposed trip to the North Pole in a balloon He informed the friends wilo met him at the pier that he would start surely In July
 1T am informed said MT. Wellman, that Commander Peary thinks my plan Is not practicable. He thinks 1t win not be possible to reach the Pole in a balloon by reason of the weather con tsltions- showers and icicles and heavy snowfals. Tn answer to his comment l want to say that Peary has no idea at all about ballooning.
 My balloon is constructed to meet all of the Arctic conditions, and have full confidence in my ability to reach the Pole in it. When I set out from spitzbergen in July I shall think of nothing but success for my undertake ing. My balloon has a resisting power of five hundred pounds to the square inch, and that will surely be sufficient to turn all of the icicles to which Peary refers
 This surface is just about as pene- trable as the ordinary sheet metal roof. I am not in the least superstitious. If I were I would not be taking my bal loon on this expedition to the unknown from the very spot where Andree took his departure, never to return. He was not properly equipped as to mechanism in his balloon and I am convinced that tle fell into the Arctic sea.
 T shall carry with me seven thou sand pounds of gasoline to supply gas for the balloon, and three thousand pounds of rations. I shall take with me also twelve Esquimau dogs for pos sible use If I do succeed in finding the Pole I fully expect it to be nothing more than the center of the open sea. ''

AGAINST INDEPENDENT co.
MANY ARE HEARD ON THE TELE-
 PHONE MATTER.

Southern New England Defended
 Some Testify That Its Service is
 Good and Satlsfactory--AII Say Two
 Companies Would be UnweIcome-
 Intimation That Rates May seon be
 Reduced-Other Committee Hearings
 Hartford, April 3.-Business and pro- fessional men from all over the state, as well as citizens from other walks of life, were present at the hearing be- fore the committee on judiciary to- day, when the discussion of the varl- ous telephone bills was resumed J. s. Case of Colchester was the first to op- pose any change in existing conditions, saying, that the feeling in Colchester was that one company was sufficient, and that two would cause confusion. Further that one telephone directory was enough to consult. Mir Case was questioned at length by l. A. Sperry, attorney for the independent company. | c. Fanton also spoke at length, and said conditions were satisfactory at present. He said he was engaged in farming, and did not think competing company or an additional company would result in better service or cheap CT service.
 MT Fanton was asked by Attorney Freeman if he was not opposed to monopolies, and he said he was, but on ly when a monopoly became oppressive. MT. Fanton was also ross-examined at length by the counsel for the inde- pendent companies
 0. A. Hiscox of Putnam said service in his district was good and satisfac- tory Mir. Hiscox was asked if he was in favor of commission to regulate rates, and he said he was not opposed to such a commission. He said that two years ago he had favored an in- dependent telephone company, and had worked to aid such 8 company. Others who spoke against the repeal of the law were c. H. Gables of Bristol, Charles Kellogg of Stafford, s. E, Keeler of New Canaan, M E, Lincoln of Willimantic, C. A. Leonard and Meigs H. Whaples of Hartford; Police &OlttilliSSlOltCI Y LNs A hA AIAAea OA AAANA ford, who said the rates would be re- duced probably in short time; MT. Jennings of Waterbury; J. D. Welch of New Haven, and George W. Scranton also spoke. Each said that two tele- phone companies would be unwelcome in the state, and that the present con ditions, although not perfect, were bet ter than they ever had been before and were still improving. The speak CTS were all examined by the attorneys of the independent compa- panies, Tomorrow General Manager Sykes of the Southern New England Telephone cor'pany will speak for this company anu this, 1t is thought, will probably end the long series of hear ings.

BRIGHT FOR SETTLEMENT.
Situation as to the Threatened Rail-
 road Strike West.

Chicago, April 13.-A settlement of the controversy between the western railroads and their conductors and trainmen seems nearer tonight than at any time since Interstate Commerce Commissioner Knapp and Labor Com missioner Neill interceded in behalf of peace. After delivering the ultimatun1 of the general managers to the repre- sentatives of the men this afternoon a long conference was held. The result was that the labor leaders came to an agreement which they requested the two government officers to deliver to the managers tomorrow. While the exact nature of the basis of settlement agreed upon by the men is not known officially, it was said by man in au- thority that the prospects for a peace able settlement of the difficulty were bright tonight
