Trouble Over Girl.


The trouble between Lord Beres
ford and Lord Fisher is said to haey
its inception in the attentions both
paid a certain young lady some years
ago. Each regarded the other as an
intruder, and they did not hesitate TO
tell each other so. The young lady
seemed not to show nor express a
preference. and the strained feeling
between the naval officers developed
into hatred. Sir Percy Scott also loved
the same woman.
Keener was their disappointment
when they learned that the young lady
who has caused the rupture married
another man. All trace of her has
been lost, but there Is good reason to
believe that she left England for Am
erica for fear that she would be made
the object of too much unpleasant
and scandalous gossip.

 BILL IS PASSED New York Assembly Sends Hughes Measures Through by Almost Unani-
 nous Vote. SEMATE'SACTION DOUBTFUL Indications Point to Defeat of Bills in Upper House--Both Sides
 Claim Victory Is
 Assured.
SEMATE'S ACTION DOUBTFUL

Albany. N. Y. March 2s.-The legis- latlon recommended by Governor Hughes for the abolition of the present legal protection of gambling at race tracks, while 1t is a felony elsewhere in the State, has now reached the senate. Both bills embodying the gov ernor's recommendation were passed by the assembly to-day by an over whelming majority only nine members voting against one bill, only seven against the other. The vote in favor of each bill was announced by the clerk as 126, but the verified roll-call shows 127.
 One bill would amend the so-called Percy Gray, or racing law of the State, by eliminating the provision which makes recovery at civil suit of the amount wagered the only penalty for gambling within race track enclos- sure
 The other bill would amend the pen al code by making Imprisonment the penalty for gambling, with no alterna- tive of fine.
 The bills go now for concurrence to the senate, where the corresponding measures, introduced by Senator Az new of New York, are on the general orders' calendar and have been made a special order in committee of the whole for next Wednesday,
 The bills are identical with the as- sembly bills, except that the senate committee on codes amended the pen al code bill so as to take effect Sep tcmber 1. The first test vote in the sen ate is expected to be upon a motion to eliminate this amendment and make tho act take effect immediately.
 The situation in the senate is still regarded as extremely critical, with the indications favoring the defeat of the bills. There is a strong undercur- rent of rumor that all but two of the nineteen democrats will vote against the bills, and that the additional seven republican votes necessary 10 defeat them are safely pledged. On the oth- or hand, Senator Agnew and the other friends of the legislation profess to ! have the pledges of more than the twenty-six votes necessary to pass them Neither side will give it's list of senators

GETTING RECRUITS
Machinists Find Place Where Their Successors May
 be Hired.
MEN DISCHARGED
Tomorrow the Remaining Relic Will Answer in Regard to Pay by
 Piece Work.

Railroad men. especially those who have recently been discharged from the service of the New Haven road at the Spring street shops, are very much interested in an advertisement which has appeared in the state papers re- gently. It reads:
 Men wanted for locomotive firemen or brakemen; experience unnecessary; railroads in this. vicinity; $75 to s100 monthly; promotion to conductor or engineer. S15O to s90O monthly. Call railroad recruiting station, rooms 94 to 8, fifth floor; take elevator; 23 Church street New Haven, Conn.
 Inquiry at this office by one of the machinists who was recently discharg- ed led to the surprising statement on the part of the man who appeared to be in charge, that machinists boiler makers, and helpers to these import ant departments of the railroad busi- ness were needed quite as much as conductors and brakemen and very good salaries were offered. It was not stated how long the work would last, but the applicant was led to be- lieve that it would be permanent.
 In the meantime about twenty of the few employees of the New Haven road who are left at the Spring street shops were informed yesterday not to report to-day, and a larger num- ber of discharges are expected to- night when the relics of the force which at one time occupied the shops get paid off.
 The force has been cut from TOO or 500 men to about 100 and most of this has been done since the railroad three weeks ago asked the employees to wait until March 2S before giving their final answer in regard to their willingness to be paid for piece work instead of by weekly wages.
 Tomorrow is the 2Sth. but to-mor- TOW the men do not work, as it is a holiday. If the discharges of yester- day are duplicated to-day, there will be possibly fifty men to answer Satur- day that they will refuse to work on piece work and the discharge of these fifty will probably follow. Then the recruits from the recruiting sta tion will be called in and the road will offer to hire back their employees who waited until the 2Sth-but will hire them back to do piece work.

TEXAN YIELDS LASH
Congressman Charges Presi- dent With Tampering
 With Judiciary.
DENUNClAT0RY HARANGUE
Declares Him Strangcst Combination of Wisdom and Folly Country
 Has Seen.

Washington, March 26.-Chargine that the president had fagrantly usurped the powers given to him by the constitution and has repeatedly attempted to influence the judiciary, MT Beall of Texas, severely arraigned the chief executive in the House to- day He referred to the presidents having appointed three judges of the supreme court of the United States and majority of the United States circuit and district judges, and then declared, He yields the big stick with one hand, and fountain pen with the other. and he raises havoc with both.
 He is a broncho- buster and a trust buster, the only difference that in busting a bronCho he blndfolds the animal and in busting trust, he blindfolds himself. He can't draw the finest bead on a wildcat, but can get bead on the constitution at all. He is contradiction. He declaims against race suicide; but insists on keeping a tariff on safety-pins and baby buggies.
 The President was not entirely to blame, he said, because the senate and house "sit with folded hands. Having abdicated the authority given to them, they sat supinelv at his feet"
 In his opinion "a more disgusting usurpation of power was never wit messed by the people of any nation Congress. he declared. was no longer a legislative department. It is sim ply a machine to record the will of the man at the other end of the ave- nue, and it did not deserve any more respect from him or the people than it now received.
 After convulsing the democratic side of the house by declaring that he can even nominate a presidential candi date. Mir. Beall said:
 He is the strangest combination of wisdom and folly; of honesty and ob- stinacy and of the patriot and the poli- tician. of courage and rashness: anl | of the spectacular and grotesque that | this republic ever saw. and just wha [ niche he is to occupy in the temple of his country's history, God and the flu i tuTe alone can tell

SETTLE STRIKE TO-DAY
Or Lockout Will Go Into Effect, Say
 the Cigar Manufacturers.

Unless at the conference this morn ing the strikers at John ?. Kilfeath- CTS cigar factory decide to return to work under the new system of shop conditions, one of whicn is the giving out of filler to individuals instead of in bulk, the cigar manufacturers have decided that the lockout threatened for several weeks will go into effect.
 Realizing this. one of the strikers at Kilfelther's said last night that the men would have to give in in order to keep the other men from being thrown out of employment. General Organizer G. R. French, who arrived here from Louisville the first part of the week, was said by this representative of the union to have advised giving in to the employers from the start.
 The conference will be held this morning at o'clock at the Kilfeather factory, A committee of the cigar manufacturers will meet a committee of the strikers, of whom MT. French will be the spokesman

WAS NEVER OFFERED HIM

In regard to the statement pub lished in the New York evening pa pers last night that Charles s. Mellen, president of the New Haven road, had been selected to succeed F, II. Harri- man, as president of the Union Pacific lines, it was states by high railroad authority that MT Mellen had not been asked and would not accept the position should it be offered him.
 This authority said that it was simply the recurrence in another form of the story published in Boston some time ago that Mir. Mellen at the request of J. P. Morgan was soon to assume charge of the Northern Pa cific At that time an attempt was made in Boston to arrange an inter view with Mir. Mellen, but he then said he would not deny rumors. or pay any attention to them. Asked di- rectly if he were planning to take over the presidency of the western railroad, he replied that he was not
 The latest story, that published last evening, was to the effect that the men behind Mir. Hartman, among whom were named William Rockefel- Ter, Henry H. Rogers. James Stillman. Henry c. Prick and Jacob H. Schiff, had tired at the publicity given his methods" and were going to retire him to the position of advisor" hop ing thus to take from the Union Pa cific lines tfs. public antipathy which has risen during the past few years. Along with the story of the forced re- tirement of MT. Hartman. the papers quoted Wall street authorities as say ing that MT Mellen was to become active head of the Union Pacific lines.
 Further than this the accounts said that the famous Hartman scheme of making investments out of the Union Pacific surplus in shares of widely separated railroad companies. many of them located far away from the natural territory of the Union Pacific. is admitted to be a mistake by the men who once backed Hartman in the movement These securities have depreciated to the extent of millions of dollars and thir dividends have been cut or threatened with reduction.
 The directors of the Union Pacific last year decided upon the formula ton of a scheme to divide among the stockholders the securities held. or l their equivalent in cash. Mir. Mellen would have oversight over this work, I the article said
 Tn connection with the understand i ing that President Mellen has been selected as president of the Union Pa i eific. it is interesting to recall tha; when he was at the head of the 1 Northern Pacific the clash developed between the Northern Pacific and the Union Pacific that finally led up tC ! the historic Northern Pacific corner. ing panic of May 2. 1901
