BACK AT OYSTER BAY.
The President Has Returned From
 His Newport Trip.

Oyster Bay, July 23.-President Roosevelt returned to Sagamore Hill to-day after his visit to Newport where yesterday he addressed the members of the naval war college on the needs of "FootIoose" fighting navy. The return trip across the sound was a pleasant and uneventful one. The Mayfower dropped anchor In the outer harbor early in tn. morning, but 1t was two hours later before the president and members of his party boarded the little cutter and started for the Roosevelt pier. The president expressed himself as great ly pleased with his visit to Newport.
 The damage to the Mayhohwer which resulted from the collision with schooner, which she ran Into and sank on the trip from Oyster Bay to Newport is not of a serious nature. The yacht will go at once to the New York navy yard for a thorough ex- animation, however. and her in- turies will be repaired.

FUTILE FOR GOVERNOR
The Anti Lilley Men Would Favor Bim Should Party Nominate
 Waterbury P0IiiiciaD.

Hartford, July 23.-One of the ef- fleets of the proposed nomination of Congressman George L. Lilley of Wa terbury for governor by the republt- can organization, in redemption of promises made more than year and half ago and before the submarine fiasco at Washington, is already seen in the lively interest being taken by democrats in this part of the state. The belief is widespread that the Lil- ley nomination will give the demo- crats first class chance to seize the state government in it's executive de- partment. This is enough to set tongues wagging in a search for the strongest man to pit against Lilley.
 It is perfectly evident for one thing that the powerful support of the Times of this city will be thrown for the democratic candidate for govern or It is inconceivable that the demo- crats should be so blind as to nomi- nate man of second class weight. At the same time it is recognized here that the winning man must be a sup porter of MT Bryan in the approach ing campaign. Old line democrats who will this year not vote for the Nebraskan will nevertheless heartily support a good democrat whether he votes for Bryan or not. There is no inclination to draw the line severely. All are agreed that it is a good time to get what can be gotten out of the situation.
 So far as can be ascertained the feeling of the democrats at this part of the state is that Hartford conn ty this year offers a better ground for political seed sowing tha neither New Haven county or Fairfield coun- ty, but it is not understood that this feeling is so intense that open-mind- ed conferences cannot change it. In this connection 1t has been suggested that the nomination be offered the popular young member of the Hart ford county bar. who made an excel lent corporation counsel under Mayor Sulliyan's administration. Joseph P. Futile. Mr Futile is
 
 young man of fine reputation, is a graduate of Yale in the class of 'S9 and a regular in his political con- duct. He is in no sense of the word candidate for the place and 1t is not the intention of his friends that he shall be placed In an cmbarrass- ing position. but they believe that if the popular opinion of the organlza- ton should be directed his way democrats and anti-Lilley men would accept him gladly. NIT Futile left yesterday for the Thousand Ihlnnds for a vacation and 90 could not be seen. In his absence his close friends were unwilling to talk be- yond admitting that there had been talk Of bringing his name forward.

THE DAY AT QUEBEC.
Arrival of Wales Set Celebration Ma
 chinery in Motion.

Quebec, July 23.-The arrival of the Prince of Wales is the signal for the official opening to-day of the celebration commemorating the 300th anniversary of the founding of Quebec by Champlain. The prince will preside in person over the open. ing exercises, receiving the foreign representatives at the foot of the Champlain monument and review ing the historical pageant reproduce ing Quebec's history.
 A fac simile of Champlain's first ship in which he crossed the Atlantic, the Don de Dieu, has been construct ed and on this the present representa-. tive of Champlain and his crew dress ed in the costumes of the period will sail up to the city at the point where Champlain landed and enter the structure reproduction of the rough palisade fortress which the navigator first coupled. Champlain and the other historical personages will then file before the prince of Wales.
 The historical groups take in the romantic period of the French occu- patton of Canada beginning with Jacques Cartier and his early adven- lures down to the battle of Montcalm and Wolfe on the plains of Abraham
 The groups compose 5,000 persons costumed as historical figures. The arrival of Champlain on the Don de Dieu is set for D. m. and the re- view by the prince will occur later in the day.

STRIKE TALK AGAIN.
Little Trouble is Feared, However.
 as Result of Meetings.

New Haven, July 23.-The visit to this city of ReZin Orr of Detroit Mich, international treasurer of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees of America, and the subsequent mass meeting of the local trolleymen in Union hall Tuesday afternoon and evening, has given rise to more or less strike talk. It is known that the meeting was called to take ac- tion on the discharge of fifty-four men recently in Providence by E. A. Potter, president of the lines in that city. How much or how little foun- datton there is for the strike rumors is probablematical, as the conduc- tors and motormen who attended the meetings Tuesday are reticent as sphinxes and MT Orr himself left soon after for Providence.
 Meetings similar to the ones here have been held In all the important cities where there are lines controlled by the Consolidated, and it is under stood that the effort is merely to get a unanimous expression of opinion amongst the employees in behalf of the Providence men to use as lever for their reinstantement. The men were discharged, it is claimed, for being allied with a union.
 Strike talk, of course, is vague, and it is extremely improbable if such a result would follow the Provi- dence company's refusal to take back the men. Such. at least, is the Cpin- ion of many of the trolleymen here who were approached fast night. They did not hesitate to say, how ever, that there is a strong senti- ment back of the effort to have the men reinstated and that if times were prosperous there would be little doubt of a strike being declared un- til the Providence lines had acceded to the request to take back the men.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES.
Transcript Points Out the Changes
 About to Take Place.

Hartford, July 23.--From a full text of the Apostolic Constitution
 which puts an end to the missionary existence of the Catholic church in the United States, the Catholic Transcript, the official organ of the diocese of Hartford, over which is Right Rev Michael Tierney, to-day points out the notable changes in che Isoman Curia. It says that the con- stitution is the first fruits of the movement for qualification of the canon law. The great purpose is to rearrange and redistribute the work of the various congregations trib- unals and offices of the Roman Cur ia. Considerable anxiety has de- veloped in England and Ireland,'' says the Transcript, "as to whether all who hold parishes will njoy A full canonical status and be practi- cally irremovable rectors. A care- ful reading of the Apostolic Consti- tption affords no clew 10 such change. The various congregations which will, after the third of Novem- Der next, deal with the ecclesiasti. cal affairs of America may find it op- portune 10 follow the footsteps of the Propaganda. Should they elect to do this, the parochial life of the Church of the United States will un- dergo no svisible change This view however, is entirely conjectural. It may well happen that a future Con- stitution will inaugurate radical changes in the internal administra- ton or the American church. The present document changes our chan nels of communication with the Holy See
 The Transcript then explains the existence of eleven Congregations supplemented by three tribunals and five offices, and points out that the burden of labor which formerly fell to the Propaganda will now he taken up by the Consistoral Congregation, which will erect new dioceses. and establish eathedrals and collegIate chapters.

OPERATION SUCCESSFUL.
Eminent German Surgeons Work on Thomas Gargan.

Thomas J. Gargan, one of the tram sit commissioners of Boston, was operated on successfully in'this city to-day for stomach affection by Prof Koerte. an eminent surgeon. Prof Boas, a stomach specialist, ad- vised the operation, saying that oth- erwise Mir Gargan would stafve to death because of the construction of the channel connecting the stomach with the small intestines. Prof Koerte atteched this intestine to the stomach and cut an opening through which food will pass to the lower di- gestive apparatus.
 The operation lasted for fifty min utes. Mir Gargan was cheerful and told amusing stories before being placed on the table and going under the ether. He emerged in apparently good condition. It will be ten days before the results of the operation can be fully determined.
