The State Board of Arbitration
 Visited Last Night
HIRAM H. FOX WILL NOW ACT

Other Members of the Board Will Be
 Communicated With at Once The
 Members of the Board Have Been
 Quite Active in Settling Up Dificul-l
 ties of Late.
 Another movement is now undeR way to bring the trolley strike to a head and settle the rumpus before tho public starts out to observe the semi centenary of the granting of Water bury's city charter Almost every thing good people could think of has been tried, with the exception of an appeal to the state board of mediation and arbitration, and now 1t has been decided to see what this body can do in the premises. Acting upon a suga gestion which appeared in the Demo- crat the other evening a Waterbury man very much interested Tn peac9' visited New Haven yesterday with a view to laying the matter before the state board. The gentleman met and talked with Hiram H. Fox and went over the whole ground with him and then requested him to use his good of-, fees in getting the board to take hold of the matter at its earliest convene ience. MT Fox promised bo bring the matter fo the attention of the other members of the board and request them to arrange for meeting to b8 hs]d here next week
 The plan has been mentioned to sew eral prominent cidizens, Including mer- chants, professional men and others, and all hope that the board will come here and make a thorough investiga-' tfon into the whole trouble and them, see what 1t can do towards bridging the chasnn. The fight has been on now since last January and so far as one can see neither side shows any sign of quitting so that unless the dif-' ference is adjusted in some way satis~ factory to both sides it will go on for ever, as the poet says of the brook It Is about time it was stopped the strike, let the brook go on and if the state board of medfation and arbifra- tion succeeds in bringing about such a result everybody will be pleased and will feel fihat the act creating fhe. board was wise measure.
 A glance at what the state board did in New Haven after the bakers strike had been on sixty-two days shows what 1t is capable of accomplishing For overtwo months the men and their employers stood apart and things were fast approaching the desperate stage when through the intervention of the state board the whole matter was quickly strengthened out inf manner reasonably satisfactory to all parties concerned What reason have we tos doubt that similar result would not follow an investigation of Waterbury's trolley strike? As matter of fact, no opinion has been given regarding the merits of the questions at issue by the different men who have tried to settle the row, so that the hearing and finding of the state board would be oEl more than ordinary interest, if for no, reason other than to hear what theseI gentlemen think of the snarl and What' remedy they would suggest

 II can assure you that the talk of war between Russia and Japan is an invention. Japan has not the lea st intention of taking thaf course She proposes to wait and maintain her at titude of watchfu1ness. Japan and America are acting on the same lines, and it would be difficult for any other power to withstand the pressure they and Great Britain could apply
 Ut Us SStiO uldL JcPdA lAtcuSlS CO NO nothing till October, when the final evacuation of Manchuria must occur. The failure of Russia to withdraw from Manchuria would be followed by a serious move on the pant of Japan.
 The Russian embassy here regrets the confusion which has arisen in con sequence of the publication of the re- port that Prince Ching, head of the Chinese foreign office, had written to Minister Conger, refusing to open ports in Manchuria. The Russian officials believe with Washington that the note was sent before China gave her assur. ances, and they asserted positively that Russia intends to carry out to the letter the assurances she has given and that she will not interpose obstacles in the way of China observing hen pledge to Secretary Hay.

Two We'll Known Firms Go to

Sufferers - Continued Decline in Prices Made the Failures Great Ex- citement When News of Failures Was Given Out

 Was Given OS1t.
 New York, July 24.-The long-con- tnued decline in the prices on the stock exchange resulted in the failure of two brokerage firuns to-day: The first announcement was the suspension of the firm of W. l.. Stone & Go, which was followed in few moments by the news, sensational to the entire finan- cial world, of the failure of the firm of Talbot J. Taylor 6 Go, the senior member of which is son-in-IaW of James R. Keene.
 Stone & Go were heavily interested in Mexican Central, which declined in price 73s from the original price of the stock.
 Talbot & Go it had been supposed was long on Southern Pacific, ever since the starting of bull movement, by means of pool in that stock over a year ago by J. R. Keene. Southern Pacific sold 50 points below the high record figure, put up presumably through the manipulations of the Keene pool.
 The failures came half an hour be forefore the close of the market and caused lots of excitement.
 A representative of Stone & Go says the firm will pay dollar for dollar, and that the suspension was due to the fact that the firm was unable to re- alize on Mexican Central, in which it was heavily interested.

 Asbury Park, N. J., July 24.-Mrs A. P. Neal, guest at the La Pierre hotel, Ocean Grove, had peculiar expert ence on the beach yesterday. Mrs Neal came out of the water lay on the beach and allowed her friends to cover her with sand. She felt cold and hastened to the bath house, where she became unconscious. Tn this condition she was carried to the beach, where phy- sicians worked over her for two hours before she revived. ..
 This is the first case of the kind re- corded on the Ocean Grove beach, and 1t has created some speculation as to whether the'practice of coveringsa wet body with sand Is not dangerous while the bathing garments are wet. For a time Mrs Neals life was despaired of.

WHY SOME MEN DRINK.

THE IMPORTANCE OF APRIL
IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

ibid YOU know that the month OF
April has played moro conspicuous
part In American history than any 9TH
err month of the year?' asked a man
who is fond OF things historical, accord
ing 10 the New Orleans Times Demo
crat. "From the way | look at the
events involved, April is the most i'm
portant of all the months, and l have
often wondered why the American peo-
ple show SO much Indifferent to the flct.
Why, when you come 10 think OF it.,
the Fourth Of July, while OF course i'm
portant enough, is yet not quite so
momensous in The annals OF American
history as some other days one might
mention. April has been the one month
of the year which has really settled the
great problems with which the Ameri-
can people have had to deal. Suppose
we glance at the record for q moment
1.-THE War OF the Revolution began
April 10, 1775 aad ended April ll,l9s3
Coming on down. We find the Sabine
disturbance, involving The southwest
frontier, Louisiana, Arkansas and Tex
RS, aud which began In April, 1855 run
ming through Ia June Of the rexs year.

gan April ). 1878. Il Is rather curious
coincidence that tie late Esr with Spain
began April q, il the same month and
but two days later. with respect to the
day OF the month. than the war of the
Rebellion, which began April 18th. The
Spaulsh-Ameriean War began April 81,
1898, and ended April II, 1899. These
are some of the important things which
have taken place in the month OF April
AMI many of the events have been of
deep import from the view point OF
Americans. What reason can you as
sign for the conspicuous part April has
played 10 the history OF America?
do men feel more like fighting 10
April than in any other month OF the
year? Is the spirit OF war and revolu
ton Influenced by the rising of the sap?
do not known but there must be some
good reason for the happening of these
great things, ware, explorations, adj
ventures and events Of this sort in the
month OF April. At any rate they have
happened in April, and 1t would be un-
reasonable and altogether absurd to as
sumo that these things are due haphaz.
ard; that they are mere condolences.
April cannot be explained out Of its
rightful Inheritance among the more
important months in American his
tory.
