 ants Said Four.

A fight over a transfer resulted in the arrest of John s. Sabian and Harry P. Prussog by Officer Walsh and caus- ed considerable excitement last even ing about seven o'clock on State street near Bradley.
 Four young men got on Conductor Edward J. Cramer's car at the corner of Church and Chapel streets. When the conductor came around for their fares one of the four handed him transfers. Cramer counted them and said there were only three. The pas senger insisted he had given him four. A row resulted. Cramer claims the young men hit him. Two of chem were put off the ear at the corner of State and Wall streets and the other two continued on further. Officer Walsh who was quietly patroling his beat on State street near Bradley had his attention called to the row by the conductor who ordered walsh ito place the young men under arrest on the charge of breach of the peace. As evi- dence of fight the conductor showed the officer a broken watch chain. The young men were eager to get to the Grand avenue station and explain their side of the story and of the arrival of the coupe vaulted into it with an apparently indifferent air.

'7-77-77-T-.-777 HEALTH OF THE STATE,

Average Death Rate--Warning About
 The report for April of Dr. Joseph H. Townsend as secretary of the State board of health shows 1,444 deaths, be- ing somewhat above the average for the monthi The death rate was 167 | for the large towns, 17.2 for the small, and 16.S for the whole State. The 1 principal causes of death were as fol- lows: Pneumonia POS, heart 149, ner- vous system 1S7, consumption 125, grip 43, bronchitis 35, diphtheria and croup S1, diarrhoea 22, whooping cough 19, cerebro-spinal fever 9.
 Cases of infectious diseases were. re- ported as follows: Measles 355, scar let fever 162, cerebro-spinal fever, 4, diphtheria and croup 159, whooping lcough 48, typhoid fever 29, consumption i 49.
 The report contains an earnest pro- test against the neglect to check ra- bies, which is declared to be about as prevalent as 1t was months ago. Af- ter this the report says;
 There are two varieties of rabies,
 
 which are known as furious and dumb rabies, and 1t is important for every dog owner to familiarize himself with some of the early symptoms. Among these symptoms are difficulty in swal- lowing because of a paralysis of the pharynx, also partial paralysis of the lower jaw which causes the jaw to drop and the mouth to remain open. Other symptoms are a staggering gait, snapping at imaginary flies, tendency to swallow foreign bodies such as bits of wood, small stones, feathers; and, the like There is often disposition to run away from home when the dis- ease is coming on; the animal may be gone a day or two and then return, or may never come home. A change of disposition is another premonitory symptom, the animal becoming more affectionate or more morose than us- ual. These symptoms, however, are not all constant, but vary in different cases. When a dog acts strangely, a veterinary surgeon should be consulted "The importance of verifying diag- nosis of rabies in the dog as early as possible, if it has bitten persons or oth- CT dogs, is self-evident and can be promptly done by an examination of the dog for the Negri bodies. It is a mistake, however, to call a dog mad because 1t has bitten some one and inn mediately kill it. In doubtful cases the dog should be confined and kept under observation for several days, and if at the end of a week it seems to be healthy no fear need be felt.
 When a person has been bitten by a dog proved to be mad, he should at once take the Pasteur treatment. This can be obtained at the Pasteur insti- tute in New York city, or at the Re- | search Laboratory of the New York health department. It is also possible to obtain the serum or virus from the ] Research Laboratory and the patient receive the treatment at home The cost of the serum in this case is $25."

HORSE NOTES.

Dr, Morris ID. Slattery of this city, who has recently returned from three months trip to distant points of the United States, is able to give an ac- count of the trip that is both instruct ing and interesting. While the cold March winds were blowing the snow in this section the genial doctor was enjoying fine weather at matinee race at Los Angeles, California, where he saw speed that was creditable for any season and especially so for that time. One of the matinee races was won in 2:1S IA, 2;1S IA and PIP 1-2. In the free-for-all, one or more heats were timed in 2;1O.
 The driving and the races were con sidered good for amateurs. Several fast horses with familiar names were noticed by the doctor,
 The beautiful parks and the electric light system at Los Angeles were very interesting to the New Haven gentle man, who had enjoyable and instruct ing visits at San Francisco, Portland Oregon, and Seattle, Washington. Dr Slattery attended a medical clinic al a large hospital in Rochester, Minn. where he was entertained in a profess sional way. The doctor was at New Orleans during the Mardi Gras carni. val when he found prices at hotels and restaurants so high that they were suggestive of highway robbery. IT some cases the charges were from three to five times the ordinary rate.
 Any person will be entertained who can induce the doctor to give an ac. count of his extensive journey.
 There is always some good stock ir the stable of Dr, slattery, At pres. ent one of his best is Sally Mate by San Mateo. This young mare is soor to go into the training stable of Johr B. Judd. ttLH

CUBA WILL MAKE PROTEST AT HAGUE CONFERENCE
Is Against Making Debt Collection by Nations a
 Casus Belli.

New York, May 19-Cuba will make her protest against making debt col lections by nations a casus belli in the coming international peace conference
 next month, when her voice will be
 heard for the first time in the councils of nations at The Hague. On the
 broad questions of disarmament and
 arbitration of international disputes
 Cuba will be guided by the United
 States. Dr. Antonio s. de Bustanante,
 of the chair of international law of the University of Havana; General Orestes
 Ferrara, a Cuban lawyer, and Fernan-
 do Sanchez, three of the members of
 the Cuban peace delegation, arrived
 here to-day on the Ward line steamer
 Merida from Havana on their way to
 the peace conference. They will be joined in Paris by senor don Gonzalo de Quesada, Cuban minister at Wash Iington, and Manuel sanguily, of the
 Cuban senate, who are also members
 of the Cuban peace delegation.
 Cuba will make her debut at The
 Hague at the invitation of the emperor
 of Russia, and 1t Is upon the question
 of debt collections by the powers from
 the republics of Central and South
 America that she will be heard at
 length. General Ferrara, in outlining
 Cuba's position before The Hague, said
 to-day:
 "On the very large questions that
 will come before the peace conference
 Cuba, of course, will play no important
 part. As republic we are under the control of the United States, and any ] question that arises in The Hague which affects this country will be conT sidered affecting us also, and upon these questions our interests lie with the United States. Cuba favors giving , the commission of arbitration at The
 Hague more authority and will urge that all international differences and disputes be submitted to arbitration. Cuba is ever for peace among nations. , Naturally, Cuba views with much pleasure all moves towards disarma- , ment, but on that question we can say little at The Hague, for that must be left to the large powers The question of powers forcing debt collections in the minor republics of Central and , South America will be taken up by our
 representatives at The Hague. It is !. the, position of Cuba that debt collec- l. tions should not be casus belli, and |. that the powers should not seek to make debt collections by a display of : naval force. Debt collections should be , matter of civil suit.
 "On the question affecting the forms [of war our representatives will be . found with all nations, which to-day , are united in every effort to reduce the horrors of war"
 'i Cubas peace conference delegates \ will meet in Paris, at the Hotel Conti- . mental, on June 7, when the ptans and position of Cuba before The Hague will . be carefully outlined and agreed upon pr. de Bustamante and General Fer rara, and senor Sanchez, the secretary of the Cuba peace delegation, sail fol \ Europe on the Kronprinz Wilhelm nexr \ Tuesday.

.AMERICA'S INDUSTRIAL INVASION OF FAR EAST JapanP Pouring Golden Stream Into U. s. for Steel
 Rails, Etc. MANY MILLIONS SPENT Manchuria Will be Strapped With Rails From This
 Country.
MANY MILLIONS SPENT

New York, May 19-America's indus trial invasion of the Far East is now in full swing and Japan is pouring a golden stream into the United States for steel rails. cars and locomotives. Twelve million dollars have already been expended in this country for rail- road supplies to be used in the con- struction of the South Manchurian rail- way and it is now learned that con- tracts involving millions of dollars are pending. Deliveries of rails are now being made and for the next three months steamships chartered by Japan will play across the Pacific bearing valuable cargoes of steel and iron.
 Manchuria will be strapped with American steel rails from Dalny to Mukden. while the traveller will ride in cars of American manufacture drawn by locomotives built in this 1 country. Thousands of dollars have 1 been spend in premiums to our manu- facturers for quick deliveries, for the Japanese insist that these miles of railroad. through the great stretch of agricultural country, must be built and in full operation within two years.
 Japan's representatives were told to go ahead and get the railroad supplies at all cost. Having broken one record last February when they purchased 50,- 900 tons of steel rails at the Carnegie mills for $2S.50, they proceeded to break another and bought 13,O00 tons of rails for $29 ton with the stipulation that the delivery must begin next month. Steel rail mills have all they orders 1 year, but the Japanese agents said they \ must have the rails and placed their order though they paid the highest ex- lpcrt price in many years. One car com 1 pany received an order for thousand freight cars trucks, the bodies of which will be built in Dalny. Over two mil lion dollars have been spent with American locomotive building com panies and every steamship entering from Seattle and Pacific ports has one O. more locomotives stored in It's hold, Over two hundred locomotives have been sold to the South Manchuria rail- l wa%
 Japanese agents here indicate that l, $5000, 900 will have to be spent for rails in this country before the railway in Manchuria is completed

Sales by McGrnIl Brothers.

The McGrail Brothers of Branford have sold a number of speedy horses during the last month. As stated by one of the partners they were over- stocked with horses and disposed of several as follows: To Mn Smith of Ward street they sold the great road ster Fairview Bay, a horse that was highly complimented at recent Mad ison Square Garden sale. To a Wal lingford man the firm sold the black gelding Tom Atkins, 2:14 IA, and to another buyer the trotter Tom F., 2:27 IA They have also announced the sale of Moran, 2:29 IA, pacing geld ing sired by Axtell, 2:12, dam by Ken lucky Prince. Moran is entered in the Hartford County circuit stake races that are to commence in the fall at Collinsvilic.
 George c. Enc, a very popular gen. tleman of Simsbury is interested in the success of the circuit races re- ferred to.
 In a recent letter MT. Enc stated that the races at the four tracks fill ed fairly welI' but were not patron ized as extensively as desired, conse- quently it is apparent that it will be good policy for those who have en- tered, to make arrangements to stay in, for the reason that competition will be less than in races that are crowded with entries,
 These stakes should have filled re- markedly well for the reason that the circuit is a good one with no long drives between the quartet of tracks and excellent management may be an ticipated.

SHANGHAI, September 19.-Later
news of the disaster near Chiukiang on

was destroyed by fire, prove it to have
been of a much more serious nature
than at first believed. Already two
hundred bodies have been recovered
and others are being found Survivors

terrible night.
The outbreak was discovered at one
o'clock in the morning and originated
aft.
A panic insueG among the passengers
some of whom went insane. Boats
were lowered for the purpose of saving
life, but so great was the rush for them
that they were swamped
A number of Chinese passengers at

fought and rushed about the decks in
a demented state.
None of the pumps were working

fact that good headwind was blowing
saved the Tafoo Maru from becoming
a complete loss.
Among those on board were two
