WASHINGTON, April 25, 1915
Connecticut manufacturers have
landed a few government contracts re‘
cently. The most important of them
were several contracts for official or
franked envelopes for use by the ve-
rious departments of the government
here in Washington.
States Envelope Company of Rock
ville, Conn, got these.
past four years this company has had
the largest share of the contracts for
these envelopes. Under the awards of
envelope contracts recently made by
the purchasing agent of the post office
department the Cmecticut concern,
it is said at the department, will be
.. i .tho‘cecond largest contractor. That is
the items out of the 000 and more lots
involved in these envelope contracts
which were awarded, to the United
States Envelope Company were second
in monetary value only to those award-
ed to the Samuel Supplies Envelope
Company of New York.

SYRACUSE, N. Y., April 26.—-Theo-
dore Roosevelt resumed the witness
stand in the Supreme Court here to
day, for further cross-examination by
counsel for William Barnes, Jr., who
is suing the former President for
$50,000 damages for libel. It was
Colonel Roosevelt‘s fifth day as a
witness.
Roosevelt was prepared to answer
questionsJe‘ading up to his leaving
the Republican party and establishing.
the Progressive party. Attorneys for
Mr. Barnes said they also had ready
a series of questions to put to the
Colonel concerning certain things he
did while President of the United
States and after. A big bundle of
letters written to or by the Colonel,
was taken into the Supreme Court
room before court was opened and
placed upon the table occupied by
counsel for Mr. Barnes.
Although Syracuse apparently has
become used to having Col. fioosevelt
as its guest, the crowd in front of
all the doors of the court house here
this morning, was 1drger than on any
Aday last week.
Mr.,Barnes, it was said, would re-
main here during a part of the morn-
ing session of the court. He planned
to take a train this afternoon for Al-
bany, where he will attend the state
constitutional convention. His coun-
‘sel have announced" that the plain-
tiff would not come back to Syra-

meeting the demand of D. E. Loewe
& Co., for payment within a month
of the judgment of $252,000, recent-

156 men whose property and bank
accounts have long been under at-
tachment made inquiry yesterday
among the officers.
“1 have nothing to say regarding
the Loewe statement," said President
‘ John W. Scully of the union, "except

The opinion is growing in Rome that Austria and,
ltaly are drifting toward war. A diplomat accredited to
the Quirinal quotes Prince von Bucldw, the German Ant—-
bassador at Rollie, as saying that it would be impossible
for Austria to accept Italy's demands. Peppino Garri-
baldi. grandson of tltc famous Italian statesman, and
who recently has talked with the Italian king and pre-
mier, is said to have received from them the impression
that Italy would enter the war with the Allies.
Italian refugees from Anstria say the frontier has been
fortified by the Austrians with concrete trenches and
heavy ariillcryf ., .
A British correspondent accredited officially to the "
Dardancllcs c‘xpcdition admits that his observationshavc
led him to believe that a strong army for operations on “
the Gallipoli Peninsula will be necessary to solve the prob—
lem of forciulr the Straits Such a force he said vi ould op—

PARIS, April ’2/6, 5:20 a. m.—-A‘ diplomat accredited

German Ambassador appeared pessimistic over the out— 5
look for a peaceful solution for the Austro-Italian diffi-
' culty.
"The situation is obscure,’ Prince von Bullelow is "
quoted as saying, “and I expect no good can come from“
it._ Italy's pretensions are such that it is impossible for
Austria to accept them. On the other Aland, Italian mili-
tary preparations are assuming such proportions that the
hypothesis of simple diplomatic pressure becomes inadn
missiblc. Evidcntly the object of the negotiations was to
gain time .
