LANDSLIDE
In Connecticut Toward Repub-
Iican Party.
Towns Went Republican First Time
In 80 Years.
Discomfort With Democracy Manifested in
The Town Elections.

HARTFORD, CT, Oct. 1.-Returns from
40 towns in this section of the state, show
Republicans gain 10 towns. There has
been large increase in the Republican
vote in every town, and the Democratic
vote has fallen off in nearly correspond
ing degree. The fop-over, from towns so
fss heard from, indicstes a Republican
landslide throughout the state.
In New Britain, the citizens ticket was
victorious and the vote on license was re-
versed. year ago the town voted no
license by 900 msjoliy. During the year
vigorous crusade w&s waged against lie
gal liquor sellers and today it voted for a
license by over 100 ms jority.
The town of Plsinvllle which voted license
last year, this year voted no license. In
other places in this secli)n the no license
vote increased. In Mld.etown the Bepub-
leans carried every ward and elected the
entire ticket. The Republican vote in
Andover was thrown out as Illegal because
the words ito fill vacancy" appeared on the
ballot opposite the pame of one candidate.
Vote east through the State is large, gains
appearing wholly on the Republican side.

LoNDoY, Oct. l.-Tbe st. James Gazette
prints dispatch from Shanghai TO news
agency here stating that tie return to
pow eI of the Emperor's uncle, Prince Kung,
who has been in disgrace many years, in
cludes the privilege Of at all times entering
the imperial palace.
Sung Kwei, the Emperor's father r-in-law,
has started for Shan Hal Kyan on the gulf
Of Las Tong at the head of 5000 picked
Manchurian soldiers. The city of Shanghai
Kwan is of strategic importance, it being
the point at which the high road from the
coast begins. Supg Roet, who is chief-in-
command, is Daking preparations to resist
the landing of force of the enemy.
Preparations for the better defense of
Pekin are being energetically pushed. 1t
is expected that the garrison there will be
Te.eniorced by 20, 900 Kashgars. Twenty
five thousand troops, drafted from num-
Der of the provinces, who have been drilled
by foreign officers, are being massed at
TuDg Chow, few miles southeast of
PekIn. These troops are under command
of General Lu.
The foreign residents of Pekin are sub
jected 10 constant insults by the natives,
and a number of them have been assaulted
on tue streets. Among the persons who
have been thus maltreated are several Brit
ish subjects, including the interpreter of
the Briush legation and DR.. Dudgeon.

ONLY THREE MEN
But They Held Up Train and Rii'ed
Express Car.
They Were Pursued and One o! Them Nfs
Killed.

PHoENIx, Ariz., Oct. 1.-The Southern
Pacific eastbound express was held up two
miles east of MarIcops last pight by three
men. They boarded the trsin as it was
leaving Msricops and forced the head
brakeman 10 turn on the sir brakes and
stop the trsin. The engineer and head
brakeman with pistols at their heads were
compelled to go back 10 the express car and
induce the messenger 70 open the door.
One bandit searched the car for valushles
and others guarded each side of the train.
The amount taken is not known but it is
supposed TO be small.
The train men were marched away short
distance and liberated. Sheriff Murphy
and deputy reached the camp of the sus-
pected men, several miles east of this city
this morning. The only occupant was
Frank Armor, cowboy, who COM
menced shooting. The officers re.
turned the fire, mortslly wounding
Armor. The robbers horses were found
near by as the rifles. Armor's confed.
crates disappeared. The posse is pursuing
them. The robbers are undoubtedly the
men who robbed the Congress stage several
weeks ago. The watches taken from the
street car employees few nights ago, were
found in camp. The penalty for t ain
robbers in Arizona is death.

Sugar Trust.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The grand jury of

bia have prepared and will bring into court,
probably this afternoon, indictments against
II. o. Havemeyer and John L. Searles of
New York and Alien Louis Sey ymour of
Seymour Bros. & Young, brokers of this

The indictments against Hsvemeyer and

committee of the United States Senate on
the l2lh of June, and in answer to questions
propounded as to contributions made by the
Sugar Trust for campaign purposes
promised to open his books TO the committee
on the following day.
When he again appeared before the COM
mittee he declined to submit his books in
examination on the advice of his counsel.
He said, however, that the trust made no
contribution to the national fund but did
contribute to the state fund.
Upon his refusal to answer further ques-
lions the case was certified by the Vice
President to the district court for action
which was taken, today, in the indictments
above mentioned.
Mr.. Seymour refused to answer any
questions IN regard to stock purchased or
sold to his irm and was likewise certified.

ments against IIavemeyer Sesrles and

CORRUPTION
Has Roneycombed the Great
Chinese Empire.
Munitions Of War Paid For But Not
Possessed.
Daily Executions oi Soldiers and Cross Pur-
poses Of Commanders.

LONDON, Oct IA dispatch from
Shanghai TO the Central News says that the
japanese occupied Wiju without meeting
any opposition on the part of the Chinese
troops. Friction between Prince kung,
Emperors avuncular appointed to the pres
idency of Taungl Ysmen, the foreign board
snd Ii Hung Chang, the dispatch says is
inevitable. The yiceroy is certain to be
hampered in the conduct of operations
against the japanese. The impe-
rial council is completely disorgan-
ized The corruption which has pre-
vailed in the commissary department
for years has left the troops with no suit
able clothing and scanty supply of food.
Cannons, rifles and other munitions of war
which from time to time twas alleged were
bought aud paid for, cannot now be found
and presumably the money represented to
have been expended for them was appro-
p,iated by officials into whose
hands it was intrusted. The
immense camp between III Sin and
Taku is filed with raw levies of troops,
without arms and in many cases without
sufficient clothing. Disorder in the camp
is rampant, there being not the slightest
degree of discipline. Executions take place
daily, the merest infractiOn of rule or law
being punishable by the loss of the offend
efs head.
Europeans resident of China are taking
refuge in treaty ports under the protection
of the wa,ships of their respective coun-
tries. A large number of Chinese mer-
chants are seeking safety in flight. Their
goods are being seized and in many cases
men of large means have been plundered of
every vestige of their property, beaten and
otherwise maltreated if they protested.
Most OF these made their way to treaty
ports. The troops stationed at Canton have
been ordered to Formosa.
