BACON PROTESTS IN SENATE AGAINST
 ROLL CALL
Special from United Press3


 s4 Washington, May 2e.-A sharp pro ed, was an attempt to shut off debate hn the Senate. was made by Senator Bacon of Georgia yesterday. Bacon de- sired to discuss a measure but Vice President Sherman had ordered the ron call and the clerk had called the nirst name, Aldrich, before the South ern Senator could get recognized by khe chair.
 i With his face flushed with anger, Bacon charged that the clerk called vent further debate. and he denounced r as long-standing abuse. Sher- man explained that he had directed the clerk to call the roll, not having seen Bacon, and if there was any fault Ut lay with the chair. Bacon charged that the quick roll-call was actually employed in the last Congress as a means to close debate. He said that the Vice President very often spoke rapidly and that in many cases the roll was called with ''undue and in decent haste"
 Routine business was then resumed. Senator Bristow called attention to the fact that when the Senate reject led a motion to strike the Dutch stan Ldard from the Sugar Schedule, the stock of the sugar trust went up five points That was in indication, he said, that showed who was behind the Senate sugar tariff. Gore, Democrat, t, Oklahoma), presented an amendment to reduce. the duty on refined sugar from $1.91 to $1 per hundred pounds He ridiculed reduction of five cents hundred pounds that appears in the Payne bill and said that when a man ate twenty pounds of sugar under that reduction of the tariff he would save the price of a one cent newspaper

 NARROW ESCAPE.
Bullet from Fort Wright Came Close
 to Miss Baldwin.

Three women on the auxiliary schooner, Aunt Edie, Captain James Sistare of Noank, narrowly escaped death from rife ball Tuesday while out on a fishing trip. The Aunt Edle is run in connection with the Hotel Palmer and had on board a party of guests out for a days sport with hook and line. They started for Montauk but the sea being too rough they came about and sailed up along the south shore of Fishers island, bound for No ank.
 When opposite Fort H. c. Wright. rife balls commenced to whistle about the boat, but only one struck her This was on the starboard side and it passed through the bulwarks be- tween Mrs. John R. Huff of Brooklyn and Mrs. F. w. Hughes of Groton and close to Miss Baldwin of Canterbury
 The mark of the bullet was not more than eight inches from either Mrs. Hun or Mrs. Hughes and serious injury or perhaps death would have resulted had the bullet struck either woman. The bullet continued through the side of the cabin. The missile was located and Captain Sistare has it in his possession. After consulting a lawyer the captain considers that he and the others have an excellent case against the government. The secre- tary of war will be notified of the episode.

sLAsHER NELSON ONCE
 LIVED IN NORWICH.
Sailor Continues to Hold His Own, but
 AssaiIant Is Still at Large.

Harry Bohn, the seaman off the U. s. S. Olympia, who was stabbed through the left lung last Friday by Sam Nelson at New London, was rest ing comfortably at the Memorial hos pital Wednesday. His condition is about the same as IL was on Tues day, and it is thought he has chance to recover.
 There have been persistent rumors that Sam Nelson, the negro assailant, had been captured, but none was more one told Wednesday, the origin of which is unknown. The police depart ment itself was inclined to think that perhaps there was something in the report that Bohn's assailant was caught in Waterford Wednesday.
 It was the most elaborately con- cocted rumor yet heard in connection with the stabbing. The report had it that Nelson, almost starved, asked a Waterford woman for something to eat. She took him in and gave him a good meal. While he was eating, the woman recognized him and telephoned to Lieutenant Jeffers, who got there in time to make the arrest
 Captain Haven made brief inquiry upon hearing the report and at once branded it as false. Lieutenant Jef- fers went off duty at 4 o'clock We'd nesday morning and was reported at home and abed when the rumor start ed circulation throughout New Lon don.
 It was stated on Wednesday by one who claimed to know that Nelson at one time lived in Norwich, having re- sided in North Main street near the Reliance worsted mill

MiLKMEN GO TO
 RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS
Want Milk Car Between WiIIimantic
 and Norwich.

A kick unexpected by the railroad commissioners was registered before them Tuesday morning by and in be- half of milkmen on the Central Yer mont below Willimantic. A petition was filed at the office comparatively recently from milkmen from Scan tic, Franklin, North Franklin and Lebanon for milk car on the Gen. tral Vermont sorth of Willimantic. Correspondence with the railroad off, cials resulted in a letter dated July 22, from General Manager G. c. Jones, that the question of train service for milk shippers had been up with the milk company (the Eden Farms Milk Co-) for some time and had been sat- isfactorily arranged. The arrange ment would take effect August 1, ac- cording to the letter.
 Tuesday morning Fred M. Abell, James F. Mason and a representative of the milk company appeared before the commissioners and said the ar rangement wasn't satisfactory. The commissioners continued the matter until a time when the railroad eom- pany can be represented, and while in the end they may make recommenda- tions, If either aparty appeals, the in- terstate commerce commission will have to take hold, as it is an inter SIdt6 matter. AS explained to the commissioners, milk car is started at Palmer. Mass, and run to Williman- tic. picking up milk at various points along the line. The milknen would like to have that car run on to Nor wich and then back, picking up on the return milk from the stations be- tween Norwich and Willimantic. From Willimantic the milk would then be sent to Providence. The operation of the one car would save the cost of a double crew or men.
 It is said that the milk brings SO cents can in Providence, with 20 quarts to the can, and that the cost of getting it there is 12 cents a can, rnak- ing AS cents for 20 quarts, which does not allow the milkmen much of a

AN OLD PAPER
Owned by Mrs. Maria Fillmore
 MontviIle-Pubiished in 1900,

Mrs. Maria Fillmore of Montville. formerly of this city, recently found among some old papers copy of the Ulster County Gazette, published at Kingston. Ulster county. N T., on Sat urday, January 1, 1900, which is of considerable interest, inasmuch as it is a special mourning edition, with black borders, because of the death of Gen. eral George Washington, who departed this life on the 14th of December, 17s9. The Gazette gives the resolutions of regret passed by congress, messages from the house and senate to Presi- dent Adams and his answers, and an account of the military funeral, as well as poem on his death by a young lady
 Because "the limits of the paper are too narrow this week for the great va riety of foreign news received by the last malls" a summary was given, among the news being the defeat of the Austrians "by the French Army of the Rhine about the eighth of Octo- ber."
 There are d number of quaintly worded advertisements.

Beaton after his confession talked freely regarding his life except as to his identity and where he had lived. He said that in nine cases out of ten a burglar does not intend to harm any one and does not do so unless forced to do 1t. Naturally he thinks burg lar ought not to be molested in his work. but if person who does surprise a burglar by waking up will refrain from trying to get hold of him but in stead allow him to get away he will not get harmed Only few, he said, carry weapons and then they use them only when pressed. He referred to the case of woman being killed in New York who insisted upon getting hold of the burglar. This would not have hap pened if she had done as she was told and kept away from him, as he was backing out after being surprised at his work.
 A burglar, he says, does not mind if a person hollers or makes any kind of a noise as long as his exit is not in terfered with If he is molested and has gun he is liable to use it.
