The shock was felt in vil- lages thirty miles away, The exact cause of the disaster will probably never be known, as Marsh, the deéad man, was alone in the build- ing where the first of the series of nine explosions_occurred.

The Absence of a Distinct and Direct Agitating Force, Actually Makes All the Difference in the \Slorld. (Special to The Balletin)) Hartford, April 9.—The illness of Gov. Lilley makes all the difference in the world, actually, to the legisla- ture, although on the surface it might not seem that that was the case. But his absence means the absence of & distinct and direct agitating force which will not be felt again dQuring this session of the legislature and the result will be that whatever the lee- islators choose to do with the legisla- tion in which the governor is especial- ly Interested, much of which he preached in season and out of season during the fal] campaign, they will do without let or hindrance. There is talk of awaiting the outcome of his illness and no doubt there will be more or less delay, but in reality there won't be any such thing as waiting until the governor can get back into the harness or deferring to such of his wishes as have already been expressed because he is not there to fight for himself. His Nervous Energy Is Exhausted. When 1 say that the governor won't be in his chalr again during the pres- ent legislation of the Jegislature please do no¢ understand that there fs anv- thing whatever in these ghastly tales of his nearness to a fatal conclusion of his illness. His nervous energy is exhausted and this makes it difficult for his physical organs to perform their functions and shows up weak spots in some of them, but the weak spots are not organic defects which cannot be remedied by rest and care and that sort of recreation which a| man of George Lilley's active type has never found it possible to take. When & man is o ill there is always the pos- sibility of a fatal termination, but so largely are his symptoms produced b; extreme exhaustion of nerve eners of which he has ever required unusuai amount to go along, that there is no reason to doubt his improvement from the time of his being\relieved of the careg of the governorship, though the improvement Will be very, very grad- ual, S The gentlemen Ih. Connecticut and in Washington who are responsible for this state of affairs ought to be very proud of their miserable work, espe- clally those who turned against one of their own gt the behest of the con- gressional lobby. Lieut.-Gov. Weeks at the Helm. Of course Lieutenant Governor Weeks will do as the governor wishes in all those matters which are of prime importance to th- latter. Goverror Lilley has made plain his wishes as to the appointment of two judges to the superior court bench to fill vacan- ces to Executive Segretary Goodwin, and they will be carfied out. It isn't known whom he has selected, but there is a well founded opinion that State Chairman Kenealy will be one of the new judges. In other ways Governor Weeks will carry matters along i of Governor- Lilley’s policie: will naturally be quite a different mat- ter for the legislature to handle the public utilities commission, employers’ liability matter and other legislation in which Governor Lilley is especially interested ground to fight for what he wanted and veto what didn’t suit him, as he firmly intended to do. It 1s 2 strange thing that there shouldn’t have ever been a case in the history of the state of Connecticut when the defect in our constitution with relation to the absence of & pro- vision by which the governor might down the cares of office when nec- ¢ and still remain In the state, eassume the office when he can, hag been made plain. We have had rick governors before, but it has never happened that the legislature was in session when they were taken sick, and I believe it has never happened that they were so il] as not to be able to leave the state and turn over the gov- ernment to the lieutenant governor. Foolish Talk. Any talk about the unconstitution- ality of the legislature’s action in pro- viding a way by which this might be done is foolish, however. The expla- nation given by Senator Searls when pushing this matter for passage was masterly at the same time that it was very simple, He stated, what all ~~od constitutional lawyers agree upon as a genera] proposition, that the consti- n tut] not a grant ture, but th limited ore if th v forbid power to the lutter's pow- constitution. constitution does not ng a resolution of like the earls resolution there is noth- ing in law which forbids it and it is legal and constitutional A Fact Not Generally Known. ~ As a matter of fact, though this is i ally known, the justices of the supreme court were cor d be- fore the resolution in question was drawn, had to do with the way it was drawn, and will declare it constitu- tional if it should ever be put up to them to decide on this point. It was discovered, too, that there existed no provision by which any- one was empowered to sign the certi- fied copies of measures which go to the office of the secretary of state on be- half of the senate wien the lieutenant governor was acting governor and in this was disclosed another defect which it is odd should exist in the state which had the first written constitution. Th has been remedied by the resolution passed Thursday, of cours The pioneer Danish preacher of America, Rev. A. S.
