THEOPHILUS EATON.
Hoisting Statue Into . Niche an the
 Side of state Capitol.

Hartford Dec. Q Tie work of plae. ing the statue o' Theophlus Eaton, the first governor ot the New Haven colony, in position In the niche on the north side of the state capitol vas be- gun this morning and, unless some thinE unforeseen happens to prevent f., the statue will be In place this even ing. The namo Eaton" was carved on the base this morning
 The staging was finished this week and ts strength tested The men in charge Of the work took no chan cs but assured themselves that tho two tons and half Of marble, of which the statue is composed, could he hoisted to the niche without risk of anything giy- ing way. When the case in which the statue was shipped from Paris 10 this country was removed the statue lay on lts back in front of the building and under the niche which it win occupy in tho future
 The men began to adjust rope. around it Some stood on the statues breast putting the ropes in position and the scene with the busy work men securing every part of the re- cumbent figure with ropes brought to mind the experience Of Captain Gull liver when the army of Lilliputians made him captive by tying him with their tiny ropes
 In about two hours the figure was brought into standing position and for the first time the finished work Of tho sculptor could be seen to advantage. The men son afterwards began to hoist 1t upward.

BURPEE GETS BUSY
Well Known Judge Wants Place on the Superior Court
 Bench.

Waterbury. Dec s-The fight is now on among our neishbors in the repub- lican camp over the disposition of the plum at the disposal of the Hon. George l.. Lilley who will soon assume the duties of governor of Connecticut The preliminary step was taken here this morning by friends of Colonel Bur pee when a paper was put in circula- tion asking that he be appointed a judge os the superior court. Scv- eral signatures have already been secured and it is said that it will be kept going the rounds until il is made ono of the largest papers of the kind ever presented to tho governor.
 While many are pleased to sign the paper, others regard fl as a sort nj throw down to John P Kellogg, whose name has been mentioned in connection with the position for some time past, but owing to some little differences that are said 10 have oc- cured between Mir Kellogg and the governor elect never mind what. these things grew out of 1t is hint ed that Mir. Kellogg would not stand q ghost of show of receiving such an appointment, therefore it is said that the petition for the promotion of Colonel Burpee is said to have tho backing of Mir Kellogg and his friends.
 II is understood that r Nj. Peas ley will go up 8 step next year when Judge Cowell of tho district court re- tires. and Deputy Judge Pcaslcy will stop into his shoes. There is talk Of Attorney McGrath being appointed deputy judge of the district court and the name of Attorney McNid is mentioned for the place now held by Mir McGrath, the office Of assistant prosecuting attorney.
 Many would like to see John P. Kellogg chosen judge of the district court to succeed Judge Cowcll, but those who claim to know the slate say that such a thing Is out of the question, It was said today that Mir, Kellogg has a good position where hc is and that there is not much likelihood of his losing It. notwith- standing the fact that the majority representation in the board of alder men is expected to make a change in that office To be sure nobody knows

PLANS AT NEW LONDON.
\. N.. \. II. and II. R. R. Will Not
 Buy Shipbuilding Plant.

Concerning improvement plans of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company at New Lon- don, II can be .authoritatiyely said that the corporation has no present plans Of buying the Eastern Shipbuilding plant The lease of that plant has some time to run and while the corn pany has in the past considered the purchase of it for coal station, it already has one at Allyn's Point, up the river, making second one un- necessary
 If fig estimated that tho Thames river bridge can be used for about five years longer, with proper regard for the weight and number of trains crossing it but work upon a now structure must he begun some years before the expiration of that time. The probable location of the new bridge will he some distance north of the present structure, and in water somewhat shallowcr than that under tho present bridge. where il is about fifty feet deep at the draw and where the work of laying foundations was extremely expensive when the bridge was built
 No plans for building 2 new bridge a considerable distance below the present one where the river Is much wider. seem to have been considered, although there are certain advantages at that point Beyond tho scheme for bridge to take the place of the pres ent one, and its general locality any extensive plans of Improvements at New London are denied.

EMPEROR SFUNERAL Foreigners Allowed to See Pro- cession, Although Line of
 March Is Screened
 from Natives.
BARBARIC FORMS OMITTED
Post-Mortem Expenditures Amount to Millions-t0.00 Men Kneel in Streets ms Procession
 Passes.

Pekjn, Dec. s.-The body of Kuang- Ssu, the late emperor of China. to- day was carried with much ceremony from the hall in the Forbidden City where 1t has reposcd for the last week to the Coal Hill mortuary. It will here continue to lie in state, pending the location and construction of the imperial sepulchre. The funeral pro- cession, brilliant barharic, and weird, fin the eyes of Western observers, was led by Prince Chun, the regent, for a short distance from it's starting place, and as 1t passed through the streets of the imperial city thousands of mourn CTS knelt in the dust until the coffin was no longer to be seen
 The route of march was out of the east gate of the Forbidden city and thence through the Imperial City. in the direction of the mortuary The start was made at 10 o'clock.
 The funeral obseryances were not able for strange admixture of an cient Chinese custom with western forms and practices, fact that shows the progress made in recent years of modernizing the system of procedure for imperial interments handed down from bysona generations. Many of the old grotesque funeral forms hat have been observed for centuries were Ignored to-day as utterly unsuited Go modern conditions. This departure from custom has brought out much local criticism of the government, but in spite of this the throne yesterday ordered the Grand council 10 consider another memorial looking to the al- teraton of existing funeral observ- ances 10 conform to modern methods.
 The procession was accompanied by 5000 mourners and 1000 soldiers, Fully 10000 men knelt in the streets of the Imperial City as the procession went by.
 Following an old custom a number of ow-class coolies, the dregs of tho capital, were brought Into tho sacred precincts of the Forbidden City and clad in gorgeous liveries; these men followed the imperial coffin to its last resting place While tho procession was mak- Ing it's slow progress various sacrifices

AT LEAST SINCE 1890
Does Not See Why It Should Be Nee cssary 10 Issue Bonds to Con- str,Ict Inland Water

Washington, Dec, 9,-Speakcr Cnh- non declared to-day in public aa- dress that never since 1890 has there been a time when under the rules cf the house, either under republican or democratic control, majority of the members has not been able to reg ister its will in legislation. He VAS speaking to delegation of the Ohio Valley Improvement association, which through its chairman presented him with a memorial urging the In provement of the Ohio river at c cost of s63,OO000O, to be paid in bonds,
 "I app~>.ate," said MT Cannon, that you approach me because I o. cupy tho office of speaker. l know that they say that l am the c2ar and that l have more power to bind md to loose than had St. Peter whel 1t was said to him on this rock I buill my church, but that is incorrect. The speakers function is to preside oyrr the house and 10 enforce it's rules anG nothing more"
 He said that in view of this fact t would rest with the committee on riv- CTS and harbors to make rccomm t- dations pertaining to the imprO 'e- ment of the waterways of the country, and that 1t woud rest with the hone and then with the senate and lastly with the president Co say what should be done with such recommendations Tho gnao lsar n, n do ,,n JoGrit, ,,r,,,,, \, es, but assured his hearers that he had no doubt that the committee would give the subject it's considers Q ton He expressed the opinion that the improvement of inland waterways would progress with the increase pr population. Referring to the proposed issuance of bonds for the improv ; ments he said that at present all im- provcments of the kind contemplated are under contract and the country has never vet failed to provide the money for such work,
 't can not tell, he said, how the money Is to be obtained for the vast Improvements needed but that there will he sufficient for the necessary changes ] am quite certain. In the swing of the twentieth century | have no doubt there will be expended no less than ton thousand million dollars in the improvement of the waterways of the country, but of necessity some Of thls work must be done by those who must follow after us"
