Connecticut Appointments.
VVASHINGTON,June 4. ——SenlatorsPlatt
and Hawley yesterday settled the vexed
question'of the collectorship of internal
revenue by recommending the appoint-
ment of W. Frank Kinney of New Mil-_
lord in place of Thomas A. Lake, re-
signed. Mr. Kinney will take hold as
soon as he is confirmed and can qualify.
They have also recommended the ap-
pointment of Francis H. Parker of
Hartford as United States district at-
torney for Connecticut, in place of
Charles W. Comstock of Montville,
whose term of office expires April 2.
Mr. Kinney is a merchant of New
Milford, a man of large unquainlance
He has been an active
politician and a strong republican.
These are two of the best places in
Connecticut. The salary of the collec-
tor of internal revenue is $4,500, but he
is obliged to give a large part of his
time to the office, while the salary of
the district attorney is $22,500. He is
not obliged, however, to devote all his
time to the work.

A Notable Ecclesiastical Palrimony.
’ On Christmas eve last St. Paul’s
church in this town entered upon its
one hundred and sixty-third existence
year, and on New Year’s eve just past
bade adieu to its twenty-second rector
and minister. ‘
During this long period the cure,
which has been a power in this
community and diocese; and which has
sent forth five prosperous daughters
and at least seven to—day hale . grand-
daughters, has been blessed by leaders
of merit and mark. The two sons of
the builder of Yale college were its
first pastors, who were followed by one
who was the choice of the clergy of this
new country for the . first bishopric of
the new world Then came the saintet’l
Dibblee and then Bowden, a prince of
learning, who was succeeded by the
talented Smith and the beloved Whit
lock, Sherwood, Kcmper and Mead, and
finally by the one who has now been
called to the metropolis of the westand
whose Nor-walk incumbency has been
characterized by a scholarly adminis-
tration. t
Crowned with age and with a grand
history behind it, Norwalk‘s honored
St. Paul’s has earned the regard of all
who love the venerable and the poten-
tial. May its Selection of a new leader
be happy, and may this inheritance
from the Father's shine forth in pris~
tine glory.

PRISONERS SET FREE.
General Wood Liberate. Flint: In
Santa." Clara. Province.
HAVANA, Jan. 4.——General Wood has
Issued an important order giving freedom
to 40 men in the province of Santa Clara.
Some of them had been detained without
trial. ,Others were suffering excessive
punishment. All had been released ten
months before by an order i3sued by
General Bates, but they were imme-
diately rearrested by orders from division
headquarters on the ground that a de-
partment commander did not have the
power to pardon.
After looking carefully into the cases
General Wood decided that the judgment
of General Bates regarding their release
was wise, and consequently today’s order
setting them at liberty was promulgated.
Reports from other departments are
daily expected, and it is believed that
before the end of .the month a large num-
ber will be released, especially in the
province of Havana. The cases 'of those
who have been held for a long time in de-
tention Without trial will be the first to
be investigated.
The council of notables, as General
Wood’s convention of representative Cu-
bans is called, held a session yesterday at
which General Wood was present and
then adjourned, many of the members
having to catch today’s boat for the
eastern provinces. General Maso, who
hopes to return to Havana in the near
future, said that freedom. from all for-
eign control was now in sight and that
the assurances of President McKinley
and the conduct of the governor general
convinced him of the absolute sincerity of p
the United States.
Bids for school furniture to the value of
$500,000 will soon be invited.
‘ Hanna Denies the Story.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 4.——Scnator Han-
na declares thatnlthough he has been
urged to stand for the permanent chair-
manship of the next Republican national
convention he will not do sol “There are
other men,” he said, “who are more am-
bitious than I and who value that honor
more than I do. I will give way to them."
He also declared that he will not be one
of the delegates at large from Ohio in
the convention. “I greatly desire that
General Dick shall have an uncontested
place in the Ohio delegation at large,” he
explained, “and I am glad to step out in
his favor. If I was to be considered as
one of the delegates at large, precedent
giving the place to me as a senator
there would be a contest between General
Grosvenor and General Dick. I being
out of it, there will be room for both of
them, as there should be, and friction will
be avoided." It is evident from the fore
going that the plan to make Senator
Hanna a delegate at large and perma-
nent chairman of the Republican nation-
al convention was formed without his
consent.
' New York State Fair.
ALBANY, Jan. 4.-—-As the outcome 01
the warm fight on for the management
of the next state fair a bill will be intro
duced in the legislature carrying out the
recommendation suggested in the govern-
? or’s annual message that the state take
under its control the management of the
state fair. At the annual meeting of the
New Ymk ‘ State Agricultural society
which occurs hero Jan. 17, several
‘ schemes will be put before the convention
toward placing the society upon a broad
or and more. businesslike basis and tc
make it in fact as well as in name a
state agricultural society.
