some six hundred delegates, repre-
senting as many assemblies in differ-
ent'parts of the country, are expected
at the convention of the National Sin:
.‘ vonlc Society, which opens in Bridge-
port today. The growth In member-
ship of this society from 250 in 1890
to 27.000 now, gives a graphic idea
of how this particular element of emi-
gration to the United States has in-
creased in the last 18 or 20 years.
Tile Shire and Rntheniaus arriving in
this country have from the first exhi-
bited a commendable disposition to;
wards mutual encouragement and as-
sistance. To that end the existing so-
ciety was organized, and already it
has a rare record for bringing Its utili-
‘ed Influence to bear for the protec-
tion of any of its members who may
fall into misfortune or trouble. .It is
patterned after the average benevo-
lent organization, paying fixed sums
for losses by death or disablement by
accident, and giving par,lcular atten-
tion to claims for damn es which any
of its members may 11% by reason of
"accidents due to thy nature of their
employment. in sh’rt, the principle of
all for one and oils for all Is practised
In the most lit rai way. One of its
fundamental nciples is to urge Its
members l‘ulliwwnu- citizens uf the.
Hinged Stilton as soon as may be. No
3'organlzatlou of foreign born people is
more united and mutually helpful than
that of tho Slavoks.

What disposition will be made of

in all the cities along the New Haven

shown by some of the higher attaches

SURPRISING THE NATIVES.
Mr. Roosevelt and His Son Are Doing
Some Good Shooting.
NAIROIII, British East Africa, May
25.——A staff correspondent of The As-
sociated Press returned in Nairobi
this morning after atwo days“ visit
at the Roosevelt camp as the guest
of Mr. Roosevelt.
The camp was located at the Heat»
ley ranch, on the banks of the Nairobi
River. Mr, Roosevelt and his son Ker-
mit are in remarkably good health.
and they are delighted with the suc-
cess of their expedition. The occur-
ucy of the rifle. fire of Mr. Roosevelt
and his son has astonished not only
the settlers, but the members of the
party. Kermit killed recently at close
range a hyena that had‘ attacked him.
and he also has come very near mak-
ing a record bag of female wart-hogs
in a given space of time.
Today the party is staying at the
Bentley ranch, but tomorrow Mr.
Roosevelt, his son, and Edmund llel-
ler are coming into Nairobi.
Major Monroe and J. Alden Luring
will remain at the Ju Jo ranch until
Wednesday, collecting birds and main-
mals.
Mir. Roosevelt Ia annoyed at certain
special dispatches which, It is reported
here, are appearing in American or
English newsptflers. lie requests the
Associated Press to send out the fol-
lowing statement:
“No newspaper has a representative
with the Roosevelt party, nor any near
er means of gaining information of
the party’s doings beyond what is gen-
erally known. Any special dispatches
appearing are In all human probability
sheer invention. Moreover the details
which purport to be thus obtained can
only be due to bribery, and it Is safe
to state that a dishonorable man giv-
ing a bribe and a dishonorable man
accepting the same would be willing
to invent untruths for money or traffic
in other forms of dishonor."

THE HATTING SITUATION.
Nothing in Yesterday's Events to In.
dlcate Change.
(Dnnbury News Monday.)
There has been nothing in the
events of today to indicate the up
prom-h of any change or of other im-
portant developments in the batting
tleup, and while the whole situation.
so far as Danbury is concerned, may
seem no more puzzling today than
during the past week, It certainly is
no less so.
Thus far all the talk of opening the
factories upon some plan or other,
which has been freely predicted almost
daily for the past two or three weeks.
has come to naught, and inquiry today
In ofllcial sources brought no Informa-
tion upon that point. The most defin-
ite assertion that has been heard in
that direction was made on Saturday.
by a manufacturer who said that he
expected to open his shop'for work
this week, but upon what basis hr
would not say. He afterwards said
that he had changed his plans, and
would not make any announcement to
that effect, nor be quoted upon the
subject.
There were numerous stories in cir
culstlon, today, in relation to reported
plans of various manufacturers to Open
their shops, and, like many other stor-
ies, some of them were told with much
detail. Efforts were made to ascertain
the truth of some of these stories, and
in each case It was declared that there
was nothing to them and that then
was nothing definite to be said about
anythingoonm-cted with the situation.
No better idea of the vagueness o!
the whole situation and the,uncertalnt:
of stories about It can be obtained thor
by a comparison of the prediction:
made in New York and in some of th«
other batting districtsnbout ten day:
ago as to what was to happen in tin
Danbury district, with What actually
happened. The predictions were to tho
effect that a definite time had been de
termined upon for a reopening the foe
torles here, and that a fixed progran
would be carried out at. a certain time
[Some of those statements appeared it
be from sources more or less authori-
iniivc. \‘ci a week has liflflfiod, and un-
otber is begun, and none of the out-
side predictions has been fulfilled.
Here In Danbury things remain as
tranquil so far as outward appearances
go, at least, as they have been since
the ticup began. There is general ex-
pectancy that something will develop
before long, but when or what it is to
he seems as much of a guess today as
if was a month ago.
The New York Evening Post and the
Iinston 'l‘runscript no had special
writers In this city during the last few
days for the purpose of describiugfor
their publications the «auditions exist-
ing here. The Post printed a column
story on Saturday, under the heading.
“liat Strike :1 hove Feast," In which
the tranquil conditions existing here
were. described. ' -
In the other batting districts, things
apparently remain quiet, and little or
no news of internal was developed
during the last few days. (it'lit'l‘ill
attention is still fixed plum Ilnubury.

appears that it was quietly arranged

Although the strike ls nineteen
weeks old now. there Is practically no
chmige from conditions of a month
aso. Crises and unexfiected things are
hinted at, but their constant repetition
and prediction has diverted attention
from them almost altogether. The
Danbury umnufnctum-s seem undecid-
ed what they will do next. it is ru-
mored that a small minority are still
hoping to enter Into some agreement
with the national board, and thereby
curry out the plan of withdrawal which
held attention recently. The majority
of the local manufacturers, however,
seem to desire to open on the “open
shop" basis, and the opinion has been
ventured by one party, willing to talk
but not to be quoted. that three Is
something in the way of a union agree
ment under consideration. It is said.
however, that the manufacturers,will
endeavor to unite on a plan of opening
their factories this or» next week, on
the open shop plan, and make another
effort to get some of their old employ.
as back to work. The Danbury manu-
facturers are said to be better united
at present than ever before.
Answering affidavits were yesterday
filed by counsel for the United Hatters
to the application for an injunction
made by E. V. Connett & Co., of 0r-
ange and Newark, restraining the un-
ion and certain individuals from pick-

illegal acts.
