GOES
 OUT LIKE MARCH
Mercury Drops Just 32 De grees Over Night and Spring Weather Becomes Like Winter.

Seldom has the mercury recorded such a great drop as within the past twenty-four hours Yesterday morn ing the gentle zephyrs mildly played around the corners, seemingly a spring day. Even ligh, top coats were dis carded by the male contingent. while some of the real fussy young ladies sported those straw hats which have been decorating the millinery windows for the past few weeks. All morning long the temperature was on the in- cline until at D. m. according to the self recording thermometer at F. Ly- mans in Main street 1t was 55 degrees in the shade. But then some unkind spirit put the skids to the heavy fluid sending it tumbling downward. The breezes began springing up until it was cold. 1t was regular March weather.-anything All brakes were of the mercury slipping backward until at 6:30 this morning the old re- liable showed just 23 degrees. a drop of 32 within IA hours.

REPUBLICANS FAIL
 TO ENDORSE GOv.
 BALDWIN'S CHOICE
Balk at Acting Upon Ap- pointment of Burton Mansfeld-May Confirm Him Later.
(From Our Special corres.)

Hartford. Feb. 2S-Senator Spellacy of Hartford. made a gallant but in- efectual effort to force the Republi- cans of the Senate today to consider the nomination by Governor Baldwin of Burton Mansfield of New Haven 10 be Insurance Commissioner.
 In spite of the protest of Senator Spellacy. the Senate adjourned with out action, by vote of 20 to 13, all of the Democrats with the exception of Senator Bryan Mahan of New Lon don voting againsl adjournment.
 Senator Spellacy made the point that he was prepared to offer a minority report confirming the Governors ap- pointment, providing the Senate would defeat the motion to adjourn. and would go into executive session. He said that every Democratic Senator was present, likewise all the Repufli- cans with the exception of Senator Elliott who is critically ill with pneu- monia. AS an act of courtesy to the Governor. he said. the nomination should be considered without further delay,
 Senator Judson favored adjournment because he believed that it was the duty of the committee to hold a for nal meeting and be prepared with it's recommendation before the Senate SuOulO Slt III eX6CuIlV0 session upon the question. He said that this had not been done. He wanted it under stood that in voting in favor of ad. journment today that his vote at leas should not be construed as indicating his attitude upon the merit of the question involved.
 Immediately after the Senate ad- Journed President Woodruff called the Republican Senators in conference, the purpose being to decide what attitude they. should take with respect to con- frming the appointment of MT Mans field. While it is generally known that number of the Republican Sen ators favor blocking the appointment it is believed that at least six Repub- lican Senators have declared them selves as being opposed to such action on the ground that it would prove injurious to the Republican party's prospects in the future. These Re- publican Senators say that they will vote with the Democratic Senators when the time arrives for confirming the Governors nomination
 If they do. there will be sufficient votes to confirm the nomination

Commissioner Edwards pounced on

will be made that, although Gala

charged in the indictment.
Judge Sway, instructed the jury,
which questioned him on the point,
as follows: "If he intended to shoot,
he intended the consequences OF that
act, and you have the right to infer
from the fact that he used deadly
weapon that he intended to kill
whomsoever he struck, whether Ed
