 vice After 3 p. m.
 Louisville, Ky, March 12.--A contin- uation of the disorders of yesterday, the suspension of service at o'clock this afternoon, after an intermittent service, and the first move towards in- tervention by commercial interests of the city were the features of the third day of the strike of the union em- ployes of the Louisville Railway com pany. During the day half dozen policemen and employees of the compa- ny were hurt, none dangerously, how ever by stones and flying glass as the result of attacks on cars by Strike syn1pathizers. A few more cars were run to-day than yesterday, but the patronage amounted to nothing All service was abandoned at o'clock
 Conditions to-day indicated some i'm provement in the work of the police, but even with officers on every car there were not enough men to quell the disorders that continued at intervals
 Cars were stoned and their windows broken, switches plugged, wagons placed on tracks, and in one instance a barricade six feet was erected across the tracks at Eighteenth and Chestnut streets. The suburban service, which was discontinued Monday afternoon, has not been resumed, and the street car company announced tonight that no earlyattempt will be made to oper- ate cars on these branches.
 The railway company during the morning returned to the postoffice sev- eral pouches of mail, which it was un- able to deliver at sub-stations, because no men could be found who would take the cars to the desired points. Tn one instance the United States mail sign was torn from car. Judge Walter Evans instructed the federal grand jury regarding cases of this kind if they are brought to it's attention.
 Mayor Earth issued proclamation calling upon citizens to refrain from congregating on street corners or talk ing part in the disorders which have continued since Monday morning. To- days events seemed to have demon- strated that the street railway compa- ny has not the men to run it's cars, even if they are given police protec- tion, although hundred strike-break- CTS arrived to-day from Chicago and Cincinnati. The strikers claim to have won over a fourth of these. More men are reported to be on their way from Chicago, Cincinnati and St, Louis.

TEACHERS PENSION BILL
 IS HEARD IN HARTFORD
NUMBER OF PROMINENT EDU- GATORS APPEAR BEFORE
 THE COMMITTEE.

D. D. Lambert, of This City, Explains
 Certain Features--Rev. Dr. Phillips,
 Supervisor Graves, Colonel Pickett,
 w. H. HacISett, Walter Leigh, sena-
 tors BlaSesIee and Homan nnd Rob-
 ert French All of New Haven Urge
 Passage of Measure.
 Hartford, March 12.-A large runl4 Der of prominent educators appeared before the committee on education this afternoon to favor the bill which would give public school teachers of the twen- ty years standing in this state a pen- sion. The bill provides that the state shall appropriate for the use of the pension fund a sum of money equal to the amount contributed by the teachers for that purpose. It was explained by D. D. Lambert of New Haven that of the 4,00O or more teachers of the state perhaps 800 would come in as partici- pant under the fund the first of the year, and as the percapita tax for each teacher would be $5, the sum of $2,5O0 would have to be duplicated by the ot1lSs 14llc, pIOUdDlys VIII 'lHCISdS6 dS the years progressed. MT. Lambert thought that the state could afford that much money for the purpose of caring for its aged and needy teachers.
 Rev. w. L. Phillips, also of New Ha- ven, made strong speech in favor of the bill, saying that there was no class of persons so poorly paid or So deserv- ing of help when they became old as the public school teachers. He said he thought the people of the state would be willing to do everything possible for the veteran teacher, and that they would be ready to pay what increased taxes were necessary to support the fund.-
 Supervisor Graves of New Haven. Col. c. W. Pickett, William H. Hackett of the New Haven High school, Wal- ter Leigh, Senator Blakeslee, Senator Homan, Robert French, all of New Ha- ven, and Chaplain Doolittle of the house, and others strongly urged the passage of the measure.

 ford Resigns From Committees.
 lAt the postponed meeting of the board of aldermen held last night the Bennett memorial fountain committee was given permission to erect the foun- tain at the southeast corner of the cen etral green where the town pump now stands. The permission of the pro- prietors' committee for the project had already been obtained. Work on the fountain, which Is to cost $10,O0O, will not be begun until late in the spring, 1t was stated last night, The fund is in charge of Prof. John F. weir of the Yale art school.
 The Kimberly avenue bridge matter now seems to be on the road to com plete settlement The claim of the city. and the town of West Haven for $5,S25 forfeit money because the bridge was not completed in the, time specified will be settled for $2,250 The Ameri- can Bridge company, the contractors set forth. that they were not to blame for the delay because it was caused by a strike among the laborers. They of fered to settle for $2,250 without litiga- tion This figure was accepted by the town of West Haven, and the board of aldermen accepted it for the city last night
 The existence of two military enroll ing officers in the city was brought forcibly to the attention of the city fa- thers. Both John J. Scally, who was elected by the republican aldermen when they organized the board of al- dermen early in January, and John Mccarthy, who claims that the election of MT. Scally was illegal and that there fore he (Mr. McCartfy) holds over have turned in the enrollments made by them to the city clerk. The clerk is at a loss which to accept, and he sent communication to the board of alder men last night asking which he should turn over to the collector of taxes.
 Alderman Townshend moved that the clerk be authorized to accept the en- rollment made by MT. Scally. Alder man Homan said that the matter was now up to the adjutant general of the state to decide and he urged that the board of aldermen take no action on it. Alderman Woodford asked if the mo- ton made by Alderman Townshend, if passed, would settle the question as to which of the two enrollments was the legal enrolment. This was answered negatively by Alderman ToWnshend. Al long discussion followed this in which difference of opinion was brought out. The motion was then put to vote and passed, the only dissenting voice being that of Alderman Woodford. The lat ter held that Mr Mccarthy had strong legal support for his claims

to Government.
 Minneapolis, March President James J. Hill, of the Great Northern railroad, to-day told the Sundberg leg islative committee that he would be only too willing to have the United States government take over his road, He stated further, however, that if the government should go into the railroad business tle country would have an elephant" on it's hands.
 Then said Mr Hill "the govern ment would be obliged to engage in another lottery to get rid of the ele- phant.
 If the government had charge of the railroads congress would be kept busy making appropriations, the dis tricts with poor representation and sparse population would be left in the lurch and the railroads would become less valuable"
 MT. Hill was then asked what the government would have to pay for con- trol of the Great Northern. The wit ness replied that it would cost $4O,00O per mile to reproduce" the Great Northern, not counting terminals, docks and other property. Counting these properties, he said, it would cost about $60,000 per mile to reproduce" the road.

 denly Postponed.

St. Petersburg, March 12,-The pend- ing sitting of the lower house of para liament, which was scheduled for to5 morrow, has been suddenly postpone& to March 15. The formal reason give1 for this postponement is because fur1 tNner time is deemed necessary for the. completion of the work of the commit-l tee on credentials, but the consultations al democrats do not conceal that tho real reason for President Golovinas acr' tion is due to the fact that the con- servatives planned monarchical dem- onstration for March IA, the occasion of the anniversary of the assassination of Alexander H. The conservatives purposed unexpectedly to bring before the duma proposal to hold a requiem service for Alexander IT., which they hoped would take the opposition una- wares and provoke an unpreneditated anti-monarchical demonstration. such as the failure of the radicals to honor the mention, during the opening exer- cises of parliament, of the emperor 8 name by rising.

 Toulon, March 12--A tarrible disas- powder magazines on board the French battleship lena blew up at thirty~fve minutes past one, and as a result Cap tain Adigard, the commander of the battleship, Captain Vertier, chief of staff of the Mediterranean squadron, and from seventy to eighty blujackets are dead, while Rear Admiral Mancer- on and hundreds of other men are suf- fering from horrible injuries. Naval circles are aghast at the extent of the fearful catastrophe, and the public is stunned by the appalling details of this accident, coming so soon after the loss of the French submarine boat Lutin, in which sixteen men met a fearful death
 The entire after part of the lena was literally blown to pieces, The bodies of the unfortunates were blown into the air hy a succession of explosions, and the panic stricken workmen at the arsenal fled from the vicinity of the dry dock for their lives. Scores of the men who were on board the lena jumped either overheard or onto the stone quays and sustained serious in juries. The primary cause of the acci- dent was the explosion of a torpedo. Why this instrument exploded is not known, but the powder magazines of the lena were set on fire, and their contents in exploding practically de- stroyed what was considered one of the finest vessels in the French navy. The lena had just undergone final inspee- tion of her hull and machinery, the lat ter having been completely oyerhauled, preparatory to joining the squadron to- morrow. The crew was in it's full strength, being composed of the rear admiral, twenty-four other officers and $50 men. The magazines had been re- plenished recently and contained many tons of both sniokeless and black pow der, as well as number of charges for torpedoes.
 The crew of the lena had finished their midday meal only short time before the explosion and had dispers- ed to various parts of the vessel. Most of the men were engaged in work con- nected with the approaching departure of the warship, but quite large party had been detailed to attend lecture that was being given forward.
 The explosion came without warning. The first shock was extremely violent, and shook the vessel fore and aft. It was at once followed by other shocks. The crew were thrown into condition of terror-stricken panic. They rushed
