 tribute Generously.

London, April 17.-While another anxious day passed without further news of the disaster to the Titanic, there is every evidence that sympathy has been aroused almCst throughout the world Several foreign govern ments have despatched to the British government messages of coincidence for the sufferers.

The queen donated S1,310 and the queen mother Alexandra, S1,000 to the same fund
 Oscar Hammerstein has proffered, and the lord mayor has accepted, the use of his opera house for an enter tainment in aid of the fund. The shipping federation has donated S1 .50O to the mayor of SoIthamptOn's fund. Some public institutions are offering to take care of the orphaned children of the crew.
 Sad and silent crowds again waited all day long at the White Star offices.

Wilson vs. the Connecticut company had put in his case, Attorney Whittlesey for the company moved for a non suit, and after hearing the motion argued by the attorney and Attorney Thresher for the plaintiff. Judge Waller took the motion under advisement for decision when court comes in this morning.
 The suit was brought by Thomas H. Wilson for damages for a horse and team hit by the trolley sprinkler in Central avenue, opposite Fourth street, about two years ago.
 Arguing for the non-suit. Attorney Whittlesey claimed that it was incum- bent upon the plaintiff to establish the facts by evidence upon two points. viz, that the injury was caused by negli- gence on the part of the defendant, and that it was not contributed to by negligence on the part of the plaintiff He contended that the evidence of the driver of the team, William H. Taylor made it evident that he saw the horse 30 feet down the road and had brought the horse to stop and caused 1t to back, so that whether the trolleymen rang the bell or not had nothing to dc with the accident.

MUST SHOOT AT NORWICH.
New London Coast Artillery Compan ies Will Give Up Poquonoc Range.

First and Second companies of the Connecticut Coast Artillery, at New London. will not be able to have their annual rifle practice and May parades at Poquonec. The lease of land for the ranges at Poquonoc expires April 30. No effort has been made to renew the lease. Instead the companies will come to Norwich and go to the Laurel Hill range, where a rife range is be- ing used for practice by the Norwich guardsmen.
 The New London militiamen for merly had ranges in Bates woods, which were occupied during the May parades, The continual destruction of the backsteps by boys, who apparent ly found great pleasure in setting them afire and getting the lead from bullets lodged in the logs. made it too eXpen- sive to maintain ranges there. An other objection was that the proximity of houses and the issuance of the new army rifles of higher power than the old Springfields made it dangerous to practice on the range.
