LIL.—NO. 122 “ NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL PASSED The Measure in 1ts Entirety Carries an Appro- priation of Almost $134,000,000 TWO-BATTLESBIP PROVISION REMAINS Amendment Offered to Authorize but One New Battle- ship Voted Down, 26 to 39—Debate Elicited Two Im- portant Historical Revelations, One Bearing on the Venezulean Dispute with Great Britain. Washington, May 23.—Voting down by 26 to 39 an amendment offered by Mr. Burton to authorize only one new battleship instead of ¢wo, the senate today the naval appropriation bl e il carries an appropriation of almost $134,000,000. It was before the senate for two daye the debate being confined almost exclusively to the battleship question. Two Important Amendments Adopted. Two * important amendments were sdopted today. One of them offered by Senator Johnson _ eppropriates $450.000 for the purchase of torpedo boats “whose vitals are below the nor- mal joad line;” the other, by Senator Jones, eliminates rallroad, county and municipal donds from the securitifs which may be depasited by contracto Naval Increase for Fiscal Year.

Popular Demand Forced War With Spain. The closing hour of the debate served to elicit two important historical reve- lations by Senator Depew, which were given from his own store of informa- tion. One of them bore on the war with Spain and the other on the Ven- ezusian embroglic with Great Britain in the second administration of Presi- dent Cleveland. The statement regard. iog the Spanish war was elicited by mn assertion by Senator Heyburn that peopies did not want wars, but gen- 2 erally were compelled by their rulers to_submit to them. Taking issue with the Idaho senator, Mr. Depew said that popular demand forced the war with Spain on the country and ithat President McKinley was opposed to it. He said also that as favorable terms could have been ob- tained from Spain without war as were obtained with war. “Does not the senator believe that but for the pressure of that time the president would have negotiated Spain off the American continent?” asked Mr. Hale. “I do,” responded the New York sen- ator. know of my own kmowledge that Spain was_prepared to abandon Cuba and Porto Rico to prevent humil- jation if she could be assured in ad- Tance of ¢he sccoptance of the Prope- sition.” He said President McKinley was not strong enough personally to resist the popular will. Mr. Depew also related some history concerning the Venezuslan episode of the first Cleveland administration. Lord Salisbury Wanted to Fight United States. “An intimate friend of mine who also was an intimate friend of Lord Salisbury, then the British prime min- ister,” he said, “told me that when the president’s message was promulgated Iora Selisbury said to him, ‘I believe thet on account of the rancor coming down from the Revolutionary war and accentuated by certain oocurrences in the Civil war, America means to have a war with Great Britain at some time, and I beHeve now is the best time, ‘when America has no navy.’ The views of the prime minister were overruled by Queen Victoria, but it Lord Salte bury had had the powers possessed by some of the Englsh prime ministers the issue certainly would bhave been tried out.” MACHINE TO LAUNDER UNITED STATES NOTES When in General Use Will Save Gov- rly. 23.—Secretary May DMacVeagh today gave an order for the purchase of a machine to launder -~ Tnited States notes which, it is esti- mated, when put into general use at all the sub-treasuries. will save the gov- “Washington, ernment a million dollars a year. Ex- ments in washing and {roning notes ve been conducted for some tims at the bureau of engraving and printing. These comvinced the officials that the method was = practical one, the esti- maate being made that 50 per cent. of the jssues could be retained and the life of a bill doubled. All germs have been destroyed by anticeptic solutions. The first machine will cost a thousand @ollars and will be installed in the treasury department building. AFTER FASTING EIGHT DAYS DR.

Was Here on Monday and Will Take Up Duties June First—Resumes Work After Lapse of Three Years. The board of management of the New London County Temporary Home in this city has engaged Miss Jessie Gibson to return to the home and re- sume the duties of matron, a fact which is most pleasing to the board and all friends of the home, as Miss Gibson is recognized as the onme per- son bet fitted to assume that position. On Monday Miss Gibson came here from Providence and was in confer- ence with the members of the board and also visited the home. The pres- ent matron, Mrs. Della Graves, leaves on June st and with possibly one or two exceptions the present employes will be retained here. Miss Gibson has had long experi- ence there, having gone to the home as assistant matron February 1, 1894, under Mrs. Josiah Brown. At that time there were but 35 children. She became matron July 1, 1897, which po- sition she retained until July 17,1807, when there were $6 chiidren. ~Hun- Greds of children passed in and out while she was there. There was no school there when she went there, but in the fall of 1894 one Toom was start- ed, and a few yvears later it was dou- bled. Where there were but two as- sistants there then there age four Te- quired now. At the present time there | are 83 children there, but there have been ag high as 95. Many have been placed in family homes this spring. When Miss Gibson gave up her du- ties there, three years axo, 1f was in the interést of her healtn, hithough the board of management was anxious for her to stay. Her health has im- proved, and the board considers it for- tunae that they are able to secure her services again. She has been living with_her sister in Providence. It is a recognized fact that Miss Gibson is a @eneral in her line, possessing remark- able ability in management, and is an efficient, kind and humane matron, a g00d disiplinarian, and yet it is the firmness and control throueh which the children are able to penetrate and | %now her as their friend. The county is to be congratulated upon seouring her services again. MORE HAVE BEEN SKIPPED IN THE CENSUS Slater Avenue Was Forgotten Until a Resident Reminded the Authorities.

Slater avenue entirely was missed, it is stat- ed, but the residents there are now enumerated, as Dr. C. B. Stark in- formed the proper officials and the street was taken. ‘The above names will be forwarded to the supervisor and any others who have been missed should send their names to The Bulletin, and be includ- ed, as Norwich will have none too many in its population, it is claimed.

WITH PARDON IN HIS POCKET® Oliver Spitzer Appears from the At- lanta Penitentiary to Aid the Gov- ernment—His Conscience Hurt Him. New York, May 23.—Oliver Spitzer, a man whose conscience hurt him, came back to New York today like a spectre from the grave, and, with pardon from the president in his pock- et, testified at the trial of Charles E. Heike, ~secretary-treasurer of the American Sugar” Refining company, who, with five subordinates, is charg- ed with conspiracy to defraud the gov- ernment in underweights of sugar im- ports. Quietly Pardoned by the President. Spitzer, as superintendent of the couip: 's Willlamsbur (Brooklyn) docks, was sentenced to two years’ im- prisonment at Atlanta for his partici- pation in the frauds, but he was quiet- ly pardoned by the president last Thursday, after serving only three months and having made a full con- fession. He will from now on aid the government in its attempt to convict his former associates. i One New Arrest Follows. Spitzer’s testimony on the stand to- day dia not directly connect Heike with the frauds, but his confession re- sulted in one new arrest tonight. James O. Brezezinski, formerly an e?ploye of the treasury department, ahd now a private detective, was lock- d in the Tombs, charged with perjury. Spitzer confessed that he attempted to bribe Brezezinski to conceal the frauds, and the latter is alleged to have denied this before a federal grand jury. This apparent conflict brought about Brezezinski’s arrest. Conscience Smitten, Spitzer Confessed. Spitzer told an ing story on the stand today under examination, and hurried from the eourt to the fed- eral grand jury room. This led to the rumor that his full confession would result in another batch of indictments. He was not cross-examined by the de- fense because of the peculiar situation created by his sudden appearance as a government witness. Two of the de- fense’s Jawyers had previously appear- ed for Spitzer when he was defendant, and for ethical reasons could not ex- amine him. The court ruled that they must agree on some one to examine him on Wednesday. No promise of pardon brought about Spitzer's -confession, say the federal authorities. His conscience merely hurt him, it was explained, but realiz- ing the importance of his testimony and the legal obstacles likely to bar it were he a convict action was taken to Testore him to citizenship. ‘When convicted in February last Spitzer declered the $ugar trust had made him a scapegoat. “It pounded and ruined me after I had served faith- fully for 29 vears,” he said then. To- dey he described how for years he as- sisted in the alleged fraud: BOYCE-LEE MARRIAGE. Son Who Objected Gave His Father a Boating. Washington. May 23.—W. D.

NEW BRAND DEVELOPS In the Consideration of the Rate Bill— What Insurgency Really Is. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington,-May 25.—The word “In— surgent” is one of the moxt popular ones in Washington this session of congress, and there are many and varied kinds, according to statements made on the floor of the house. Rep- resentative Hamflton Iish of New York in his speech the other dwy took Ocoa- sion to mpeak of a new brand of in- surgents and incidentally to describe what insurgency really is. As he one of the leading insurgents himsel he ought to know. This is what he said: “A new brand of insurgenis was de veloped in the consideration of the raie Wil Whether we call them New Wng- and or New Haven republicans, it imimnaterial, Suffice it to say among them was the gentleman from Massa- chusetts, Mr. Weeks, who was s0 in- censed at insurgency against the rules, and also that devoted follower of the speaker’s, Mr. Tilson. “Let us be frank with one another. The definition of insurgency depends largely upon who construes it. It is & case of the old familiar definition of orthodoxy. Orthodoxy is my doxy. Heterodoxy is another man's doxy.” Dyring the discussion Saturday af- terndon Mr. Hill also paid his respects to Mr. Foms of Massachusetts, who Fad just made a speech on free trade, Mr Hill said in part: I have listened w is great pleasure to the remarks of the gentleman from Massachusctis.
