No Refuue rhere.

Some of the Parkersburg papers
intimate that strong appeal is to
he mada to Judge A. G. Dayton to
move to that city in order to save
for that city. IN TINS connection tho
Sentinel says that when Judge Day.
ion went on the bench. Parkershurs
citizens treated him most royalty IN
the hope he would take up his resi-,
dence there. 1t should be remem-
bered othe cities treated Judge
Dayton Just as well ana continue to
do, but the receptions given to him
are no good reasons why he should
reside at any of those points. More.
over, hy act of Congress recently
passed federal court has been es.
tanlished at Phillopi, Judge Day.
IONS home town, and Il is asking
far too much Of him to move to Par.

town or city's bacon Is 70 be saved,
by his actions in reference TO the OF.
fees of the court officers, philippi
will come in long before parkersburs
does.
But, doubtless Judge Dayton like
most every one else will conclude, If
he has not already done SO, that

appropriation for New Haven harbor 1t is in the sundry civil bill, or else the river and harbor bill
 Now there is a river and harbor bill, and the item for New Haven is not put in it. There are new excuses why nothing can be done for New Haven,
 It is stated now that the secretary of war was misled, and, therefore, Chairman Burton refuses to favor an appropriation which he once recom- mended and congress authorized. Our congressman states now that there is an ironclad rule which forbids such ap- propriations unless tke community raises an equal amount An examina- ton of the any hundreds of appropria- tions and authorizations ir the present river and harbor bill discloses that not one-half dozen out of them all is made upon the condition which is said to be an ironolad rule. Why is this an from clad rule for New Haven, but not for six other places In the United States? Why has there been this succession of excuses why nothing can be done for New Haven, when more than $606,G00 have been secured in tins bill for Fair- field county, and S463O 900 for Bridge port, against s10,000 for New Haven?

TRIBUTES FOR LoNGFELLow.
Great American Poet the Subject Professor William Lyon Phelps Let

Great American Poet the Subject of
 Professor William Lyon Phelps Lee
 ture.
 Professor William Lyon Phelps de- livered a lecture on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow at College street hall last night. This subject is of especial ir- terest because the one hundredth anni- versary of the great American poets birthday was celebrated very widely in New England yesterday
 Longfellow, said Professor Phelps, is never dull, His long poems are very interesting narratives. He is the poet of the home, too. Then, again, he is the fireside poet and loves to treat of the family and of welded life. Yet his love is not of the passionate sort, but is deep and assuring, which has much to do with his popularity, for the Amer ican people do like decency. He al- ways inculcates some obvious moral-a thing which is liked by the Anglo-Sax- on mind.
 Longfellow is the poet of optimism not the philosopllic optimism, but the optimism of the God-fearing American citizen. He wrote on familiar subjects and occupations another thing which has contributed to- his popularity. Some people like to meet with new ideas in the poetry that they read, but most of the people do not care for new ideas They prefer to see themselves reflected in the poetry that they readA T IoAa i,, op la old world His life was to New Eng land what the life of Washington Irv- ing was to New York. He has been called a philistine, but he was philis- tine only in his responsibility. He had the heart and mind of the anti-philis- tine.
 A second great service was that he wrote an American epic-Hiawatha. This is the most valuable of all his long poems. It is an immortal contribution and it will live longer than the race it i celebrates.
 Longfellow's greatest productions, however, are his sonnets. In this kind peare, Milton, Browning and Mrs. Browning, The sonnets that he. wrote in connection with his translation of the divine comedy of Dante have never been surpassed, Nothing else that he has written will survive these sonnets, He was the most skillful writer of hex ameter that America has produced.
 To sum up, Longfellow is broad rath- CT than deep. His range is marvellous. There Is something for everybody in his writings. He Is the poet of the library and Is always getting themes and sub iect matter for his poems from books Constant allusiveness is one of ais charms. He lacks the minute obserra- tion of Emerson. Longfellow sees na- ture through books.
 Then, again, Longfellow is the Amer ican poet of the sea- He is always sin cere in his observations. Yet with the exception of his sonnets he has hardly written anything supremely great. Still he is a conservative, high-minded ar tist. His great service has been, and is, that he has brought the heavenly light into many lives and has encour- aged a love of poetry. Everything in his poetry is pure and sweet.

Hartman party and former director of the Union Pacific Kahn remained on the stand until mid-afternoon, and under examination of c. A. Severance, of counsel for the government, told of the reorganization of the Union Pacific. There was special inquiry as to the commissions paid to the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and the inter-relations of the firm, the witness and Jacob Schif with the Union Pacific The witness said the firm had received commits sion equal to percent. on the pur- chase of Southern Pacific, also a com mission of 5 per cent, which was divid- ed with other underwriters, on tine issue of Union Pacific convertible bonds, which were taken at a reduction of 5 per cent. The witness spiritedly de- tended the acts of his firm, and cited instances where 1t had sold stocks to the Union Pacific at a figure below the current market. Before leaving the stand Mir. Kahn made an extended de- fense of the Alton transaction, based on the methods and conditions of the time.
 Before he left the stand MT. Harri- man again invoked the question of pri- vate business as against interstate commerce, and refused to answer inter- rogations as to his individual stock transactions, and MT. Kahn refused to divulge anything specific as to the bus mess transactions undertaken by his firm in behalf of clients in or outside of the Union Pacific directorate. He and his counsel, Paul D. Cravath urged the same objection by Attorney John c. Milburn in behalf of MT sHarriman, and added the special plea of the con- fidential privilege existing between a banker and his clients The commits sion ruled against all objections, and the record was in each instance prop erly completed for reference to tfie courts.

 The house passed bill entitled An act amending an act concerning pri- vate banks" which amends the pres ent law so that the words "bank,' trust" or savings on signs shall ap- ply to firms or individuals doing busi- ness as private bankers or brokers un- der their own name. The effect of the amendment is to make 1t illegal to do a banking business unless as a legally incorporated institution. Representa- tive Hooker said that the purpose was to stop the custom of a foreign resi- dent in the state from duping compa- triots by taking their savings under the guise of running bank. Governor Woodruff was in favor of such a meas ure Representative Hooker said, which would not only safeguard foreigners, but would give protection to others Representative Hooker said that Gov ernor Woodruff had said that he re- gently went through an experience in New Haven where large dry goods firm assumed to run banking busi- ness, and s30,000 of innocent depositors' money was converted into the private business of the concern. This firm fall- ed, but deposltors in the private bank were paid in full.
