DONOVAN'S CIRCULAR TO GENERAL ASSEMBLY Begs That Three Million Steal be Not Allowed
 By Members.

Ex-Alderman Henry Donovan has sent the following communication to the members of the general assembly:
 'Gentlemen-At present there is a bill favorably reported by the railroad committee, and acted upon by the sen ate, which, if it is made part of our statutes, will saddle obligations on the cities and towns of this state to the amount of at least $3,OOO,00O. The bill reached the committee by the under ground route, and the father of the bill is Andrew Gates, railroad commis- sioner, who, I am positive, did not know what expense it would saddle upon us. 1 feel sure he did not know of the ex- isting agreement of the state of Con- necticut made with the old Canal Rail- road company in 1S47 when they were given the right to build their railroad. They agreed to build all bridges, pay all land damages and forever keep the bridges in repair The Northampton Railroad company, when they took control of the Canal Railroad compa- ny, assumed the same obligations, which were in turn assumed by the New Haven Railroad company.
 Now I am sure that Andrew Gates did not know of the existing agree ment, or he would not have introduced the bill, as he is regularly employed by the state of Connecticut, and not by the New Haven Railroad company
 My authority as to the. sponsor of the bill is Senator Thompson, who as sures me that he himself did not know the real state of affairs, or he would not have allowed the bill to go as far as it has.
 "A number of years ago Senator Yi- nal, of Middletown, introduced a simi- lar bill, which was rejected by the leg islature. Now, if you allow this steal 1 to go on, you will saddle your constitu- l ents with obligations to assume and pay to the amount of SS,000,000, which the railroad company have obligated themselves to pay Your duty under the circumstances is to see that the bill is rejected, and not allow the cor rupt lobby to get in their work, so that MtlElt NOu SO bclNA tO yOuA+ Alp4llSoF ee eS the end of the session you can say to your people that you have done your duty by them, and have not sold out your principles or their interests for a mess of pottage.
 T am positive that if the bill acci- dentally gets through the legislature your governor will veto the measure, I and not be a partgsto the steal of s. OOO,O0O, which evidently some one is trying to steal from the citizens of the state of Connecticut.
 Tn conclusion, humbly ask you to find out the full particulars, and do your duty without fear or favor from any man. b9t
 l Yours for public good,

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, March 2.-The stock
market today had another of the spells
of rccurrent weakness Which have
characterized it all the week. There
was d sharp rally after the appearance
of the bank statement, but it did not
hold, and last prices for some II the
conspicuous stocks We're the lowest Of
the day and Of the week The North
western group broke badly, especially
the Hill stocks. Their weakness was
connected With the reports from
Washington that the Interstate Com
merce Commissions inquisition into
the subject of over capitalization would
turn next to the Northern Pacific and
its reorganization several years ago.
y disturbing effect was produced, too,
by the rep 3rts that suits would be set
on foot as an outcome of the Hafri-
man investigation to compel the Civ
ing of testimony which was refused
and to dissolve the Hartman combf-
nation OF railroad property. Fear of q
strike of Pennsylvania Railroad en-
ployes We're fostered by the large note
reported ln'faVor Of a strike by the
company's yardmen. The violent de-
clines in the local traction stocks. led
by the Observation-Disclosures is
sues, was not explained. but was Of
SynfpGthetic effect On the general
weakness Of the market. The bank
statement was better h eXepcted.
the cash decrease being limited to
$2,10O0.000 compared with early esti-
mates today running as high as So
100000. The $4,214.800 loan contrac-
ton. in view Of the heavy financial
generations Of IA week, including the
preparations for the March settlements
also was of good effect on sentiment.
Large arrivals Of gold we're reported
in London from South Africa, but
100000 was withdrawn from the
Bank Of England for shipment to Ar
g%entinc. The time none market re-
manned Strong ut Il fractional advance
in rates. New York bids for the gold
arriving i'll London were considered
unlikely in view Of the small change
in conditions in tho International eX-
change markets i'll several weeks past.
