REPoRTs oF PEONAGE.
Facts Necessary Before Anything
 Can Re Done.

Washington, June 11.-Assistant Attorney General Russell, who has charge of rosecuting peonage cases, yesterday received a report from a special agent of the department of justice that peonage exists in Con- necticut. The agent, who has been traveling in Europe for the department. said that he met an Italian in Italy who claimed that he was formerly foreman of a railroad construction gang in Connecticut including number of Italian la borers. On one occasion, according to their foreman, they attempted to quit work but he told the depart ment of justice agent tha, he promptly pulled gun and they went back to work and afterwards were as quiet as lambs.
 Assistant Attorney General Rus sell would like to prosecute the guilty but he cannot do so or even investigate the matter intelligently without further Information to work on. If anybody in Conneeti- cut has such information the de- partment will be glad to receive it.
 The department has been prose- cutting peonage cases with consid- erable success in New York and a number of southern states.

KENT INDUSTRY
Land Sold at Auction Which Once Contained Much Min.
 erals and Ores.

New Milford, June 11.-By the sale at auction of 800 acres of woodland, an iron ore mine, miner als and mineral rights on June 27, the closing scene of once four ishing Kent industry, is to be en- acted. The property belongs to the Kent Iron company which for nearly 100 years mined and manu- factured iron in Kent and with which Ethan Allen was at one time connected. The mine is located in South Kent, while the furnaces were situated al Kent Furnace, four miles north, and when the plant was in operation teams were used 10 haul the ore from the mine to the furnace. The company formerly owned thousands of acres of wood land in the surrounding hills which were dotted with charcoal pits, the charcoal being used for reducing the ore, but all that remains of this vast tract is the 800 acres that are to be sold. Owing to the increasing depth of the mine and the cost of labor and charcoal, it was found that a profitable competition could not be kept up against the product of Penna and Tennessee and the plant was therefore shut down in 1892, since which time the furnace property, store houses and other buildings belonging to the company have either been sold or have fallen to decay. The com pany, it is stated, was always profitable enterprise, it being said that the fortunes of prominent fam lilies in this section began with the results of the company's work. In it's palmy days from 200 to 300. men were always on the company's pay roll.

 Bridgeport, June 1.-The hero ism of Joseph Reilly of Pembroke street, who risked his own life when he jumped into the harbor at the foot Of Wall street yesterday to rescue James Boles, a stevedore, who had tumbled into the water, was most creditable piece of work. and while the rescue was effective for the time being, the unfortunate man succumbed last night from ex- haustion, dying at the Bridgeport hospital, to which institution he had been taken. The body was talk en in charge by Funeral Directors Hawley, Wilmot & Reynolds.

HANDS DENIAL
Man Investigating inc Charges Against Jerome Says Latest
 Story is a FaIsehood
HAS NO NEW CHARGES

Plattsburg, N. Y, June 11;-Com- missioner Richard L. Hand of Eliza bethtown, N. Y., who was designated by Governor Hughes to investigate the charges against District Attorney William Travers Jerome, was told over the telephone this morning of the story published in New York that his decision had been reached and that 1t was understood that while he criticized some acts of Jerome MT Hand had found that the facts did not warrant removal. The story went on to state that Commissioner Hand had recommended the dismissal of the charges. In denying this report as a naked falsehood,' Commissioner Hand said: "The story is absolutely without foundation. There are some 5000 typewriter pages of evidence to go over and have Just commenced the work of reviewing it. The time for filing supplemental briefs expired only last night. As yet I have re- ceived neither MT Jerome's nor MT Pierce's supplemental briefs. I ex- pect to receive them to-day. Further more l have read in the papers that new charges have been filed with Governor Hughes and that Governor Hughes has given MT Jerome until June 16 to make reply, and Governor Hughes is quoted as saying that he will send along these new charges to- gether with MT jerome's reply to be taken up by me.
 T have received no official infor- nation in regard to these later set of charges but I assume that the news paper reports are correct and that they will. all go into my grist with the other charges.
 T have reached no decision in the matter. When the evidence and all the supplemental briefs and these new charges are finally before me I will come to decision in the matter and make my report privately to Governor, Hughes"

FOELKER WAS THERE
And Inc Legislature Passes the BllIs Advocated By Cover.
 nor Hughes.

Albany, N. Y., June 11.-Arrange-
 ments were completed this forenoon
 to bring Senator Foelker to the Capi-
 tol. A wheel chair was ready at the
 door and rubber tired carriage at
 the house waiting to briug the sem ator over the quarter mile Of granite
 paved street between Mrs Baupre's
 house where he is staying and the big
 white building. Senator Agnew and Assemblyman Hart, introducers of the anti-gambling bills, to vote for which Senator Foelker nldde his dramatic journey, had charge of the arrangements and were early on hand to watch the operation. They made no secret of the fact that while surface indications now favored the passage of the bills they would be vigilant in expectation of some un- expected tactics on the part of the opposition led by Minority Leader Grady and Senator McCarren. T expect that the bills will be beaten" was all Senator McCarren would say this morning. Senator Grady ex- pressed similar confidence.
 % The anti-gambling bills passed by the assembly yesterday were handed down in the senate at the opening of the session, and on motion of Ma jority Leader Raines, were advanced to third reading and it was agreed to have vote at noon.
 Routine business then interrupted consideration of the subject
 Every one of the fifty-one mem- bers of the senate except Foe,ker was in his seat when the, first of the bills was taken up. The bill was that of Assemblyman Hart, which passed the assembly yesterday amending the penal code so as to eliminate the "ex- elusive penalty" under which gam- bling at race tracks has been vir- tually legaliZed. On this bill Sen- ator Grady for the opposition made his first attempt.
 The first bill was declared passed at l2:45 by a vote of 26 to s. Sen- ator Foelker's grit and the vote of the new Senator Wallace had saved the day and the signature of Gov ernor Hughes, of course taken for granted, will have put the bill upon the statute books. The second bill was passed by the same vote as the first and the most sensational legis- latiVe battle was at an end.
 Immediately after the passage of the gambling bills the senate finance committee reported the assembly resolution to adjourn without date at o'clock this afternoon. Gov ernor Hughes. when informed of the passage of the bills. said: II am deeply gratified at the result. It is victory for law and order, the im- portance of which cannot be over estimated. The ,act of Senator Foelker in coming to the session in his weak condition was most heroic and worthy of the same praise that we would give to distinguished ser vice on the battlefield. I will lose no time in signing the bill" It will .ake effect immediately liter the sig nature of the governor.

GEN GRANT BUSY
Will March Regular Army Sol diers From Different Points
 10 New York Siaie.

New York, June 11.-Unless some thing goes wrong in the calculations of General Frederick D. Grant be- tween now and next Saturday noon, the 5000 soldiers of the regular army under his command who are marching from every point of the compass toward the village of De- Feriats, Jefferson county, \. r., will perform military feat unparalleled !. in the history of the American army.
 When General Grant announced that he intended to march ten de- tachments of men from points hun dreds of miles apart and have them meet at common center within three hours of one another, military men of experience were inclined to say it could not be done After look ing over the telegraphic reports from the commanding officers of the ten detachments, General Grant stated that he fully expected to nave all his troops arrive at the big camp at Pine Plains within. one hour of the time set, which is next Saturday noon.
 This effort to reduce the marching Of troops to scientific basis is only . one of the interesting features of the annual maneuvers of the depart ment of the east which are to be held at Pine Plains, a twelve mile square tract of land in Jefferson county. More than 15,000 soldiers, regulars and militia, will participate.
 One of the important problems which the war department will try to work out will be the availability of the automobile for military pur- poses. To this end three officers started early this morning from the Governors Island ferry to make the run to Pine Plains in an automobile, and the same car, with possibly oth- CTS, will be used throughout the ma neuvers in every possible way that military exigencies may require, thus undergoing thorough test under both camp and campaign conditions.
 Lieutenant-Colonel Edwin F. Glenn of the Twenty-thiri infantry. Captain William T. Johnson and Major Charles c. Woodruff, who will be the chief sanitary officer of the camp, are making the automobile trip to Pine Plains. They expect to reach Albany tonight and to-mor- row morning at daybreak to start on the TO mile trip from the state capital to the camp, arriving there tomorrow night General Grant will leave for camp tonight.
