For Himself and His Associates.
Mr. German has made a most power-
ful and striking contribution to the vol-
ume of resentment provoked by the
President’s much discussed letter to
Hon. William L. Wilson. His speach,
delivered in the Senate Monday,says
the Washington Post, was at no point
marked by extravagance or passion; it
never degenerated into hyperbole or
invective;but it permitted no one to
mistake his meaning, and it confused
that meaning in no maze of metaphor
and rhetoric. Mr. German set out to
say that the President’s attack upon the
Senators was absolutely wanton ; that
the President’s afi'ectation of surprise
and disappointment at what the Senate
had done was ridiculous; that the
charges of “perfidy and dishonor” were
unwarranted; that the only discredit-
able feature of the episode was the Pres-
ident’s invasion of the domain of legis-
lation and his attempt to usurp the
prerogatives of Congress. And he'suc-
ceeded in every particular—succeeded
with a completeness that left nothing
to be desired.
It should be said further that this
incident discloses an extraordinary and
inexplicable conjunction . We are con-
fronted by the spectacle of the Presi-
dent denouncing certain acts of the
Senate, and by a number of the most
prominent and reputable of the Sena-
tors distinctly asserting that the Presi-
dent was aware of all their proceedings,
and deliberately left them under the
impression that he sympathized and
approved. Not only Mr.‘Gorman, but
Mr. Harris, Mr. Vest, and Mr. Jones
have testified to this impression on
their own part and to their belief and
understanding that .it was shared by
their associates. They do not hesitate
to say that every development in the
work of arranging an acceptable meas-
ure was communicated to the President,
and that up to the very moment when
his letter was’thrown among them like
a bombshell they fully believed that he
regarded their efforts with approbation.
How the mistake has arisen, how it is
thatIthese Senators were permitted to
proceed under the impression that they
had the President’s sanction, the coun-
try may never know. But that they
are warranted in their surprise and in-
dignation under the circumstances no
fair-minded man, we think, will venture
to deny. They have been engaged in
the same patriotic labor that has occu-
pied Mr. Wilson and his ccadjutors of
the House. They have the same title
to the respect of the people and the
confidence of the President. Their
personal character, their public ser-
vices, their ofiicial eminence, all entitle
them to the esteem and the favorable
judgment of the country. And, how-
ever the misunderstanding may have
arisen, they must be allowed to resent
this sudden arraignment of their acts
and motives and this attempt to, set
them to one side as culprits.
Certain it is that those who have de-
clared themselves thus far have assert—
ed the privilege of regentment, and that
in no uncertain fashion. Mr. German’s
speech to which we have referred, was
a model of forcible, if temperate, dis-
claimer, and it will attract the attention
and engage the sympathy of every
thoughtful and intelligent man. No one,
we fancy, will hereafter question either
his courage of self-assertion or his abil-
ity of presentation.- Speaking for him-
self and his coadjutors in the work of
tariff legislation he has made it unmis-
takably clear that he and they do not
'.feel guilty, and, he has left the public V
abundant room for doubting the integ-
Irity of the cha1g€ that has been brought
against them.
I
He lsiAftér Them."
The assertion that it is the physicians
standing highest and having the best
practice who most frequently violate
the laws, has received added proof by
the state of afl'airs discovered by Attor-
ney G. E. Hill, the new County Health
officer. That ofiicial has set about cor-
recting the abuses that exist and this
morning was found busily writing let-
ters to delinquent disciples of Escula-
pius.
Among the state laws is one regard-
ing' the registration of births. It pro-
vides that physicians who have charge
of such cases shall during the first week
of the month next following the birth
present to the town clerk of the town
in which he is practicing the facts con-
the child and its parents together with
the date and place of its birth.
This rule has been more honored in
the breach than in the observance, all
over the country. Physicians seem‘to
be possessed of an idea that if the reg-
istration is made at any time within six
months, the requirements of the law
are complied with. In many ,cases,
however, even this has not been done
and there are children in all the larger
towns whose birth is not entered on
the records. This negligence might be
of great injury to some of them in the
future and Attorney .Hill is taking vig-
orous‘ steps to prevent its continuance.
The law provides a penalty of from
$10 to $25 for violations and examples
may be made of some of the delin-
quents.
And She Left Him.
Tony Frontz, an Italian in the employ
of McLaughlin & Donohue, at Stain-i
ford, is wondering where in the world
his wife has gone to and why she left
him so unceremoniously. They had
only been married about a month and
had been keeping house on Pacific
street, where Tony had furnished apart-
ments and had done everything, he says,
to please his wife. The Advocate says:
—.O.'-
He first met her in NorIwalkg
where she was known as Jennie
Feniene. She is a young Italian
woman of prepossessing appearance,
but, if reports are true, has a mania for
going through the marriage ceremony.
It is reported that she also has a bus-
band in New Haven, one in Newark,
N . J ., and still a third one somewhere
else while the love lorn Tony makes
No. 4. After their first meeting in
Norwalk' it did not take long for Tony
to pop the question, and the couple
proceeded to Port Chester, where they
were united. Everything went well un-
til Tuesdayfwhen, on returning home,
Tony found that his wife had ‘ ‘flown the
coop,” taking with” her 315 in cash, a
gold ring and other articles belonging
to her husband, She had left the key
of the apartments with one of the
neighbors. Tony made inquiries and
went to N orwalk, but could find no
trace of his missing wife, and the rumor
has it that she met No. 2. of Newark
and accompanied him to that city.

The hearing before commissioners of
the Probate Court (A. J. Bell, G. A.
Carter, jr., and Edward Duffy) in the
'-matter of claims against the estate of
the late Julia Waterbury is being held.
The deceased left property worth $2,500,
and the heirs "dispute bills which have
been presented against it. Attorneys
N. R. Hart, Michael Kenealy and Ed-
ward M. Troy are engaged in the case.
with the testimony of Mrs. Waring,
who is capable of furnishing hard work
for the sharpest cross-examiner. She
had a claim of $75for services in nurs-
ing J ulia Waterbury during her illness.
Mrs. Lyon has the largest claim—$1,000
—for services. Isaac Carroll of New
York presents a claim for $300. It is a
note given by Mrs. Waterbury to her
sister, Letitia, and by her endorsed to
Mr. Carroll. The allegation set up on
behalf of the estate is that the note
wa's given without consideration. The
expression “for value received” is used
in the note. No evidence has yet been
taken in regard to this claim.
A Blessed Charity.
The lawn fete at the Congregational
Parsonage last evening was indeed a
bower of beauty as well as in the inter-
est of amost beautiful and praiseworthy
charity, the proceeds resulting being
expended in aiding aged, decrepit and
indigent members of the church, and
particularly the providing of carriages
for such as would be unable to attend
worship unless conveyed to and from
the church. The grounds were gaily
decorated with lantern, lights etc., and
looked as if the good pastor had brought
a section of ’Frisco’s China Town here
with‘him.
The candy table was presided over by
the Misses Vera Wood and Clara Betts,
while the Misses Alyse and Jean Greg-
ory attended the flower stand. Miss
Florence Hitchcock acted the part of
the fortune teller and astonished many
by her wonderful glimpses into the fu-
ture. Mrs. Noble, Mrs. Ely and C.
Eversley Curtis presided over the ice
cream table. The fete was a success
and a goodly sum realized.

Must» Obey the Law.
Says the Bridgeport News: Saloon
keepers who have failed to procure a
license this spring will find it unpleas-
ant to continue in business much longer.
The county commissioners have been
getting after them for some time but
now they have another fee. It is the
Liquor Dealers’ association and they
mean business too. The association is
bound that any one who is engaged in
selling liquid refreshments must- com-
ply with the law. They have appointed
a committee to see that this end is ac-
complished. ,
The committee is busily engaged
making a list of all the licensed saloon-
keepers in Bridgeport. When they
have completed the list they will know
who is running a saloon without a
license and they will at once get after
the illegal seller of liquors. The com-
mittee have full power to take any steps
they deem advisable.
They will probably employ a man to
’ visit the places that are not licensed and
collect evidence to convict the keepers.
Justice Court.
James Miller, hailing from New York,
and who has been for some weeks at
work on a farm “up country,” came to
this city on Wednesday, en route for
home. He stopped at several saloons
and “lubricated” until the lubricating
fluid tangled up- his legs, and he was
arrested and placed in the cooler. This
morning he Was fined 31 and costs,
$7.76, which he paid and was discharged.
He plead guilty to being drunk.
Chief Bradley was called upon about
8 o’clock Wednesday night to visit a
house near Elmcrest’ where a man
named Isaac Arnold was creating a dis-
turbance. Mr. Morris Cummings owns
the house and had gone to Vermont,
leaving ”Arnold in charge. The chief
found Arnold very drunk and abusive
and had to tie him" hand and foot and
»place him in a wagon in order to get
him to the lockup. This morning the
prisoner was very penitent, and plead-
ing guilty to a charge of drunkenness
Justice Austin let him off with a fine of
$1 and costs.

A Dirty Cross Walk.
All summer long the cross walk over
Belden avenue from the west side of
builder Wilson’s residence to that of
Mr. Hanford’s has been deep with
mud or dust. The chief reason is that
some one with more zeal than know-
ledge, took up- the old cross walk or-
dered laid and personally superintend- '~
ed by Mr. Buckley when he was bur-
gess, and placed diagonally across the
avenue as best accommodated the pub-
lic. and has had it relaid at right angles
as it should not have been. and then
blunderingly laid it below the street
grade. Cobble stones from a dug elec-
tric pole hole, are also distributed over
this dirtycross walk.

NO POSITIVE NEWS IN 'YET.’
ItVIs Now Stated by Arctic Sealers That the
” Nansen Party Has Probably Also
BeenLo-t—New Yorkers Still
' Think Wellman Is stile. .
LONDQN, July 2.’—Mr. IFieldcn, owner
of the yacht Saide, which vessel succored
Professor Oyen, the geologist of the Well-
man arctic expedition, who was, left at
Dane’s island, writes, referring to the re-
ported loss of the Wellman party and their
steamen that he has learned frOm Spitz-
bergen that the Ragnvald J or], the vessel
which was used to convey the explorers
to the edge of the ice pack, was an old
Whaler which had been fitted up as a
steamer, and that she was in no way fit
to encounter the ice.
Mr. Flelden adds that he is led to be-
lieve'that in the whole of Wellman’s expe‘
dition there was no one possessed of prac-
'tlcal;experlence in polar explorations.
A representative of theAssoclated Press
this morning had an interview with Carl
Siowers, the Norwegian enthusiast in po-
lar matters, now in London, who wrote
to The Standard yesterday announcing
that he was in receipt of advices from
Norway which left little doubt that the
Wellman arctic expedition was lost.
The Pall Mall Gazette, as already ca-
bled, was in receipt of similar advices
from Tromso, and experienced arctic
skippers rccently‘returncd from the Spitz-
.bergen seas expressed the same opinion.
Mr. Sicwers showed the Associated Press
representative a bundle of letters received
had returned to Norway from the extreme
northern waters. Tlie‘writers said that
they were convinccd'thnt all the members
of the Welhnnn expedition were lost.
In addition, the sealers expressed the
belief that Captain Nansen's ship was
also crushed in theicc. Mr. Slewcrs be-
lieves that the Peary party will return in
September after having sailed over the
pole in im open polar sea. In conclusion,
Mr. Sicwers said that Lieutenant Peary’ s
expedition was the only party, excepting
Jackson’s, which was scientifically plan-
ned.
. The Nansen Expedition.
The Norwegian storthing, or national
000 kroner for an expedition to the north
pole, and Dr. Frldjof Nansen of Christi-
ania, the author of “Across Greenland,”
was placed in charge. He was born in
1861. A specially constructed boat. the
Fram, 170 tons, was built, and provisions
and fuel for five years were stored on
board.
The expedition, which consisted of a
dozen men, sailed from Charova, on the
north Siberian coast, early in August,
1893.
In a letter dated Aug.3, 1893, written
at Juger straits, Dr. Nanseh stated
that, if his dogs proved serviceable, he
should not call atIOIenck in May, as pre-
viously intended.
' After the receipt of this letter authentic
news from Dr. Nansen was not expected
until this year, when he was to call at
Dickson’s harbor.
Mr. Fielden, the owner of the yacht
Saide, writes to The Standard as follows:
"‘When I met Professor OyenI at Dane’ s
island, he declined to give any informa-
tion in regard to the plans of the Well-
man expedition, declaring that Mr. Well-
man had pledged him not to divulge the
arrangements or anything concerning the
expedition.
Mr. Fleldcn thinks that even if the
Ragnvald Jarl Wes crushed there is no
reason for anxiety with regard to the fate
of the patty, because they could, under
almost any circumstances, make good
their retreat to Dane' s island. .
Ho advises Mr Wellman’ 8 friends to
send a ship from Tromso to the island
with supplies in September if nothing is
heard from the expedition in the mean-
tlnlc.

NEW YORK, July 26.—At the ofllce of
Measrs. BOWring & Archibald this morn.
ing it was said that a. telegram had been
sent from their office to Dr. Cook in order
to ascertain the intentions of the arctic
exploring party on board the steamer Mi-
randa. In auster they received the fol-
lowing telegram, dated St. Johns, N IFI.,
July 25, signed Cook:
“Proceed Frederickshnab, south Green-
land. Then, if conditions favorable, Up-

turning. Calling St. Johns or Halifax re-
turning. ArriVB New York probably Sept.

Further than this nothing is known.
but it was thought possible that the Ml-
randa’s repairs would be completed, and
that she would be ready to resume her
voyage on Saturday next. '
. 'Wellman Was “’0“ Equipped.
NEW YORK, July 26 -—-Experts in arctic
exploration in this city ridicule the idea
that Wellman s expedition has been lost
and say that it was the most completely

HENRY .M. STANLEY.
An American \Vhose First Exploring Was
‘ Done in New York City.
‘It has been so long since anything has
been heard from Henry M. Stanley that
people are half forgetting where the great
explorer“ 18 or what he' IS doing. He seems
to have been living very quietly since his
unfortunate candidacy for a seat in Par-
liament as an anti-Gladstone member, and
whether he is contemplating any further
work in the Dark Continent is something

world is indebted for his important dis-

many lives were lost and such thrilling
adventures encountered, but in these the
public at large has little interest. It is
chiefly concerned in what he actually ac—
complished, and it does not care to, go too
closely into all the details or explormthe
means by which the famous work Was;
accomplished. He is a great explorer, and
