MOVED FREIGHT
About Thirty-Fiye Cars Were Handled By the Men During
 Sunday
HIRAM FOX IN TOWN

With the aid of four checkers from out of town the men employed at the local freight stations since the regu- lar men went out last Monday after noon, made more headway yesterday than on any other day since the trou- ble commenced. The company was more than pleasedd with the outlook this morning, as it expects with the new checkers to proceed rapidly.
 Agent White said this morning that the situation was much better than it has been and stated that yes terday the men took care of about thirty-five cars. In his opinion under the circumstances there is much better chance of making headway this week than there was last.
 Hiram Fox, a member of the state board of arbitration, was in town this morning to see if there was any chance of the strikers and company getting together, but he quickly learned that it was very remote probability. Fox or some other member of the board might have been of some use last week, but at this period of the strike there is a mighty small chance of either side submitting the matter to arbitration. Up to a late hour this morning Fox had not talked with Assistant Super intendent Dunn nor had any conver- sation with MT White. He stated that if he did not confer with MT Dunn in this city to-day he would probably do so in New Haven this evening It is a snowfall chance of the state board settling the strike.
 The checkers, three of whom are from New Haven, the other from Bridgeport, seemed to be rather bright workmen. One of them when asked this morning how things were progressing replied that though they were still far behind they were mak- ing some advance. He declared that it took the men now doing the work of the freight handlers just about five times as long to do a thing as the old men.
 Some of the freight handlers un- der the supervision of MT White were loading a car this morning with beef and cases containing goods of the Diamond Bottling Works. Though White repeatedly showed them where to place the goods and told them to be careful of the cases, he might just as we'll have been talk ing to the winds. They would pull the trucks into the cars, sometimes having to get the aid of their fellow workmen, and would dumpt their load in any old part. One of the handlers after carting in a load of cases gave the truck jerk and sent the boxes sprawling all over the floor with a crash as though the contents of the boxes had broken into many pieces.
 The strikers still believe that the new men are not pushing the freight along very rapidly. but admit that with the new checkers there is a bet ter chance of moving the freight. Still the platforms and houses this morning seemed to be in as congest- ed a condition as on any, day since the strike has been on.
 Superintendent Dunn arrived in town at II o'clock this morning and is confident that by the end of the week work at the freight stations will be moving along in the regular channels.

INFANTRY MARCHING.
Length of the Pace and Speed in the
 Armies of the World.

The average rate of march of the armies of to-day so far as drill is con- |cerned is about 120 paces a minute, or about two steps a second. How ever, there are some small differ ences in the different armies, and a few troops are trained to march at a much higher rate of speed.
 The Russian soldier takes 112 to 116 steps minute, the German. 114. the Austrian, 115, the French, Italian and United States 120. The French chasseurs. however, make 145, and the Italian Bersagliere 150.
 The length of the pace should of course, also be considered. The Rus sian pace is 2S inches, the Austrian .291a the French anl Italian 30, while the German is 31 F. and there fore surpasses all the others.
 The Russian soldier can therefore cover in one minute from I'll to 90.2 yards. the Austrian 93.5, the French and Italian 9S.4, while the German covers more than any--very nearly 100 yards.
 But in modern battle it is a ques- tion of utilizing cover, rapidly mov- ing over short intervals from cover to cover, climbing over hedges and other obstructions, more than march, ing. Witness the small and agile Japanese and the tall, robust Rus sians. Marching power comes into play in getting troops into position, but 1t is usually more staying power than the capacity to march we'll at drill or maneuvers that counts in the long run. Nevertheless, troops can be intelligently trained to do both, and both will come into play in action.

Arose Early to Write.

During the time when suspicion pointed strongly to Sir Walter Scott as the author of the waverIy novels the closest watchfulness of his guests at Abobtsford failed to detect signs of literary activity on their hosts part. the reason being that his pen had al. ways completed its daily Iabors by the time the amateur detectives had arisen from their beds.

HULL DENIES IT.
He Says Story About New Excise Law
 Is Not True.

Bridgeport, May 6.-Chairman Hull of the joint standing committee on excise of the legislature stated to-day that the story printed Satur- day relative to the ne wlicense laws which the excise committee had voted in favor of, was untrue in all most every detail. None of the bills mentioned has been acted upon by the committee in any way as yet, nor has there been any of them even formally discussed. The publication of the story was unfortunate as it is likely to hamper the members of the committee in their efforts to pass upon excise measures calmly, fairly and intelligently.

Shortage of Cars.

The railroad company must be short of cars. One would think so yesterday on the way from Hartford when most of the passengers that left the Capitol City had to stand un- til they reached New Britain. Many of them were women, and between the women and the men they said things about the company that would have made President Mellen ashamed of himself if he could have heard them. One naughty little woman wanted to know what she was going to do, adding that the rules state that passengers must not stand on the platform and notwithstanding this there was no place to sit on the inide and you can't find standing space, either. She saw no alterna- tive, but ignore the printed rules on the doorway except she jumped off, and she didn't like to do that.
