Big Celebration at Bridgeport Participated in by Many Italians and Amer
 jeans.
WARSHIPS IN THE HARBO1
Official Distinction Given the Event by Their Appearance--Great Crowd in Attendance at
 Festivities.

Bridgeport, Oct 12-Ths was Colum- bus Day, established to recall to the minds of the busy and forgetful eighty millions in the United States that 4l6 years ago the first Europeans found the New World, claiming 1t under the spanish colors for Castle and Leon. Several other flags have supplanted those banners In tho years that have lntervened and some changes In ocean travel have taken place since the San ta Maria, the Nina, and the Pinta set the transatlantic record at seventy-one days.
 Those things were recalled in the schools, and were further celebrated this afternoon and evening,
 The discoverer of the All-America hemisphere was born In Genoa, prob ably in 1436. but he was of too little consequence at that time for anybody to set down record of the month or day
 Riding at anchor In the harbor were the Italian cruiser F!eramosca, off, cial representative of the Italian gov ernment at the celebration, and the | United States ship New Hampshire, ordered to this port by the govern l ment, for the occasion The weather was clear and bracing, and thousands of other nationalIties turned out to 1 join with the Italians in celebration
 The day was begun with a salute of | 24 guns to the American govern ment, after which the boys of the public schools assembled in Washing ton park and sang America, while The Italian bands furnished the accom- panylng music.
 During the morning Captain Wins low of the New Hampshire and Cap tain Lorecchio of the Fieramosca re- 1 turned the official visits of Mayor Lee which were made yesterday During the morning there was a constant stream of excursion boats carrying sightseers down the harbor to the war vessels.
 This afternoon occurred the first great event Of the celebration-the parade-in which societies from vari- ous parts of the state marched These included delegations from New Haven South Norwalk Bridgeport, Hartford Waterbury and other points. The pro cession was divided Into nine divisions and Immediately following the grand marshal, Louis F. Richards. at the head of the first division rode Cover nor Woodruff and members of his stan in carriages. In this division were also 800 blue Jackets from the New Hamp- shire and 200 men from the Fieramos- ca who had been landed earlier in the day for this occasion.
 This evening there was a reception l and later a grand ball.

 MT. Morgan's name has frequently been mentioned in connection with the recent acquisition of Boston and Maine stock; but 1t can be stated on authority than which none Is higher. that neither MT. Morgan nor his firm has any interest in the Billiard pur- chase, and, in fact, 1t is doubtful If he knows of the Billiard transaction un- less he has read 1t in the newspapers In so far as MT, Morgans interest In the New Haven lies, he is willing to entrust It absolutely to Mir.

 And then there Is the Standard oil hugaboo, 1t Is a smaller factor to-day than ever before in the New England railroad situation. William Rocke- feller owns a few thousand of the more than 1,OO0,OOO shares of New Haven stock, and his counsel in the board room Is always eagerly sought, but he is merely an incident in tho affairs of the company. New Haven, like the Boston and Maine Is owned almost entirely in New England, and Is dominated by the New England men. Moreover, those people who may have figured that the New Eng land president of the New Haven company undertook the great project to unify the transportation lines of New England, and to establish them upon an economical and first-class- service giving basis, only to abandon that project at the first little furry of isolated opposition. reckon without their host and knowledge of their man, for there is no doubt that the dominant figure in the New Eng land railroad situation to-day is Charles s. Mellen.

Tt is not strange that he should op- pose the democratic remedy on the trust question, for he has never shown any interest In the correction of evils that the trusts have brought upon the country.

It is not neo- essary to assume that these contribu- tions influenced him at all. = t may be his natural disposition to take the side of the trusts as against the people.

cratic caucus.
No Previous Hint.
In a letter to Mr. Clayton. under
date of June Is, Mr.. Williams. with
out previous intimation of his inten-
ton 20 retire, writes that in taking
this step he is actuated solely by the
idea tha. it is best for the democratic
party. In resigning thus early. he is
actuated. he says, by desire to give
the minority ample time to consider
whom they want 10 succeed him. and
also for the reason tina. If the next
house is democratic the new speaker.
whoever he may be, ought to have the
experience which the position of floor
leader would give him during the

should the pending campaign be

throughout that time We worked for
