HE SCORES TROUP.
Litchfield Man Says He Has no Use
 for the New Haven Editor.

George C. Woodruff of Litchfield, member of the state central commit tee from the Thirtieth (old Nine l teenth) district expressed himself freely to a Hartford Courant reporter at the Allyn house last evening about Alexander Troup's leading the Hearst
 movement in this state
 He said that he had always had his opinion of MT Troup since 1878, when Troup organized the greenback party. which took 5000 votes from the demo- crats and made possible the election of Governor Charles B. Andrews by the general assembly, That also made Governor Andrews eventually chief justice, which he would never have been. in all probability, except for the greenback defection from the demo- cratic party led by Alexander Troup. Governor Andrews was a highly re spected townsman of his and made a good governor and chief justice, but he said it was Alexander Troup who defeated the democratic party that year.
 MT Woodruff also said that he had not forgotten that, although President Cleveland made MT Troup collector of internal revenue, he had constantly abused MT Cleveland since the latter had retired from public life, and he could not stand base ingratitude Troup had also accused MT Cummings who succeeded him on the national committee of perjury, and yet there was nothing further from the truth than any such aspersion on MT Gum mings's integrity.
 Why said MT Woodruff, tat that Waterbury convention four years ago, when MT Cummings was elected na- tional committeeman. nothing could have stopped his election. When MT Cummings, who was chairman of the committee on resolutions, came on the platform to read the report of the committed. the convention went off it's feet, it was so enthusiastic over Gum mings, and the convention wanted to nominate him then and there for gov ernor. When he was nominated for governor he polled more votes than any democratic candidate previously for about ten years with the exception of 1900, the presidential year, and when George F. Mclean ran for gov ernor on the republican ticket. I have no use for a man like Troup when he uses such tactics as he does and then asks the party to give him leadership"

who is seeking the nomination for the presidency ought to call up the last New York editor-Horace Greeley who sought that high office. He can have Charon connect him, via the Styx river, telephone exchange. Horace's experience might benefit him.

SCARCITY OF RENTS.
Building Operations Have Fallen Off
 in Past Few Years.

New Haven, May 5.--There is a scarcity of rents in New Haven now that has not been equalled in years. The population of the city has been growing faster than the houses have been built hence the difficulty that is now being experienced to get suit able rents.
 A real estate man who has studied the situation for several years and who has watched the present situa- ton that now confronts the public, coming to the present state of things, has prepared table showing the de crease in the last decade. It Is com piled from the Building permits issued by the fire marshal and shows the number of dwelling houses erected in the dieffrent years during that period.

IDEAL SPOT FOR PLAY
 GROUNDS AND CONCERTS

A good deal of interest is centered in the rumor that J. H. Whittemore intends to give the property formerly occupied by the rink property to the city for a public park with the under% standing that it be used exclusively for children and ladies. Many think there is no truth in it, but others claim to have 1t on pretty good authority, and there you are. If MT Whitte< more gives the park to Waterbury tha city ought to be generous enough to build a monument to the donor and place it in the center of the grounds It would make an ideal playground for children and could also be used foE band concerts.

MAY END IN TRAGEDY.
Chicago PugiIist Badly Punished in
Fight at ST. Paul.

st. Paul, Oct 20.-"Bud" Braun, a
condition at st. Josephs hospital and
may die as result of injuries sus-
tanned while boxing with Jimmy Potts,
a well known amateur boxer of Mime
apolis, at an athletic entertainment
given at the Amateur Athletic club.
Braun was terribly pummeled in the
second round of the contest and sank
to the floor limp and helpless after two
minutes of fighting. In this time he
took the most severe punishment ever
seen in a local ring.
Potts outclassed his man from
the start and at the end of the first
round Braun staggered to his corner,
groggy, bleeding and all but out.
At the opening of the second round
Potts jumped at his man and began
raining succession of right and left
handed swings, which Braun Alemed
wholly incapable of avoiding Or ward
ing off. Finally Potts backed Braun
into his own corner and, after sue
cession of straight right and left blows
to the face and jaw, Braun fell against
the ropes and slipped to the mat,
where he took the count of nine. At
the word ten" he arose and attempted
to put up his guard, but was again
felled with hard swing to the temple.
The count of mine" found him again
on his feet, wobbling and trembling
Potts stepped UP and planted several
blows on the helpless fighters body
and jaw and he sank to the mat for
the third time. This time Referee
Sloan declared the fight off and award
ed the decision to Potts.

SECRETARY OF WAR WILL INvEs.
TIGATE THE DIFFERENCES
WITH THAT COUNTRY.
new REPUBLIC is UEDULY ALARMED
PEOPLE FEAR AMERICAN COLONY
WILL BE ESTABLISHED AND
lNJURE THEIR TRADE.

Washington, Oct. 20.-The president
has instructed Secretary of War Taft
to proceed at an early date to Panama
to confer with the president of that re-
public with a view to compromising
the differences that have arisen be-
tween the two countries.
It is impossible to say exactly when
the secretary of war can leave for
Panama, but probably on Nov. IA.
The following letter has been sent
by the president to the secretary of
war, after a conference with the secre-
tary of state and the secretary of war,
in respect to the conditions in Pan
anna:
There is ground for believing that
in the execution of the rights con-
ferred by the treaty the people of
Panama have been unduly alarmed at
the effect of the establishment of a
government in the canal strip by the
commission. Apparently they fear lest
the effect be to create out of part of
their territory a competing and indie
pendent community, which shall inju-
riously affect their business, reduce
their revenues and diminish their pres
tige as a nation.
Our Intentions Misconstrued.
"We have not the slightest inten-
tion of establishing an independent
colony in the. middle of the state Of
Panama, or of exercising any greater
governmental functions than are nee
essary to enable us conveniently and
safely to construct, maintain and oper-
ate the canal under the rights given us
by the treaty. Least of all we do not
desire to interfere with the business
and prosperity of the people of Pan
anna.
After 4 conference with the secre-
tary of state and yourself l have con-
cluded that it will be of great advan-
tage if you can visit the isthmus Of
Panama in person and hold confer
ence with the president and other gov
ernmental authorities of the republic
of Panama. The earlier you are able
to make this visit the better.
You will advise the president Of the
republic what the policy of this gov
ernment is to be and assure him that
it is not the purpose of the United
States to take advantage of the rights
conferred upon it by the treaty to in
terfere with the welfare and prosperity
of the state Of Panama, or of the cities
of Colon and Panama. You will make
due report of the result of your visit
on your return

LULL IN OPERATIONS
BOTH ARMIES EXHAUSTED BY
LONG CONTINUED AND DES-
PERATE FIGHTING.
RAINS MAKE The ROADS IMPASSABLE
OYAMA HAS CHECKED RUSSIAN
ADVANCE BUTTS UNABLE TO
ADVANCE HIMSELF.
RAINS MAKE The ROADS IkiPASSABLE
WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.

With both armies exhausted by the
long continued and desperate fighting
and roads made impossible and
streams bankful from recent torrential
rains there has been a lull in the
active operations along the Shakhe
river.
The days dispatches say that Tues
day passer quietly and the brief ad-
vices bearing on the situation as ex-
listing now indicate that the battle has
not been resumed.
The Russians still hold the impor-
tant position of Lone Tree hill, around
which fighting of the most desperate
character centered, and General SAX
haroff reports that their left flank has
been slightly advanced.
A rel! is drawn over the general sit
;aticn, but the net result of the tre-
r.ter.OGs battle seems to be that
Dya1na, Wi1lle effectually checking the
lsusisian ADVANCE, has been unable to
:Oi.CW it Ii, with vital blow and has
l,.A.aalf I.>.l, stayed in his attempts
30 materially advance his position.
A dispatch from N[ulden says that
the Japanese appear to be slowly fall
ing back, but SakharOff reports to ST..
Petersburg that they are concentrating
at Sinchinpu, west OF the railroad
Kuropatkin is Strengthening his
right and the dispatches indicate that
the battle will be resumed as soon as
the roads dry.

ONLY partial SUCCESSES.
Russian View of Capture of Lone Tree
Hill and Shakhe.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 20.-The flush
of enthusiasm over the capture of Lone
Tree hill and Shakhe, the repulse of
the attacks of the Japanese left and
the hard drubbing given General va
mada, with the capture of fourteen ad-
diticnal guns, has given way to a
calmer and more sober appraisement
of these partial successes.
Field Marshal Oyama evidently con-
siders that Lone Tree hill, from which
kuropatkin could pivot turning
movement against his left, to be of
vital Importance, as both Monday and
Tuesday nights, the latter during a
terrific storm, made desperate efforts
to recaptnre it, accompanying the as
saults with demonstrative attacks
against other points. But all the ef-
forts failed.
Pitiful pictures are painted by war
correspondents of the shelterless sol
diers bivouacked in the cold rain, the
roads converted into quagmires and
the streams flooded.
The military critics are not yet sat-
isfied that Oyama is ready to relin-
quish the offensive, expressing the
opinion that he may still try to break
through the Russian center in order
to compel KurOIatkin to retire from
the lire of the Hun river, unless, as
they believe, he has become convinced
that the superiority of the Russian
numbers and reserves makes his with
drawal to the line of the Taitse river
advisable.

WOULD LIKE TO VOTE.
Italian Catholics Make Strong Plea to
the Pope

Rome, Oct. 20. Several bishops of
Northern italy, including Ferrari, arch
bishop Of Milan and a close friend Of
the pope, have petitioned him person
ally to consider whether the moment
has not arrived to allow Catholics to
participate in the general elections.
According to the petitioners their alb
stention from voting during the last
forty years has brought no advantage
to the claims of the Vatican, while
it has seriously endangered the inter-
ests of religion by entrusting power to
the open enemies OF the church and
they believe that if the Catholics are
allowed to vote, if not for real clerical
candidates at least for Conservatives,
it would ensure the presence in the
chamber of deputies of strong party
capable of preventing the passage OF
bills aimed against religion. The pope
has not yet given a decision, but he
has asked for the opinion of the most
authoritative cardinals.

WITHDRAWING HIS ARMY.
kuropatkin Fighting Stubborn Rea'
Guard Action.

Nuropatkln Flgntihg STUBBORN feaT
Guard Action.
Toxic, Oct 20.-No reports from the
Japanese Manchurian headquarters
were received during the day and as a
consequence it is assumed here that
inactivity has followed the abortive
Russian assaults of Monday night.
The Russian concentration in front
of the armies of Generals Ollu and
Nodzu (the left and center, respec.
tively) on Monday, reported by Field
Marshal Oyama, created the impress
sion here that the Russians were plan
ming to assume the aggressive, but it
is now thought that General Kuropat-
kin is merely seeking to protect his
right and rear in order to gain time
to withdraw his army across the Hun
river, because it is believed that it will
be impossible for him either to move
aggressively against the Japanese or
to hold his position on the Shakhe
river. Figures showing the Japanese
losses since Oct. 10 are still incom-
plete, as is the count of the guns aud
other Russian property captured by
the Japanese Figures showing the
losses to the Russians are likewise in
complete.
There is a popular impression here
that affairs at Port Arthur are reaching
a crisis and it is believed that the end
is only question of days.

WAITING FOR DRY ROADS.
General kuropatkin May Again Assume
Offensive,

St. Petersburg, Oct 20.The dis
patch from General Sakharon, dated
at noon, confirms the Associated Press
previous Mukden advices saying there
was no fighting Tuesday night. The
general reports that the Japanese are
concentrating at Sinchinpu, but the
most important information is the fact
that the Russian right is being eX-
tended westward, the center of the
right being now facing Sinchinpu.
This may have been necessary in order
to protect Kuropatkin's right, Or, if
the Offers is imminent, for the pur-
pose OF, in conjunction with the ad-
vance Of the center, crumpling up both
General Oku's fanks and driving him
towards the Shakhe river.
Other signs of the offensive are no.
ticed. There has been a slight move
ment OF the left upon the Bentsiaputze
roads from Mukden and Pushun. No
big movement, however, is possible
pending the drying of the roads.

French Paper Severely Criticises Rus.
sian Leaders.

Paris, Oct 20.-The Temps gives
prominence to statements in a dis.
patch from st. Petersburg, which, it
says, comes from a highly authorita-
tive source, severely criticising the
Russian generalship in the latest bat
tie. A detailed explanation is given
of the various reverses and the writer
adds:
'At not point were available Rus
sian forces concentrated for an effec-
tive offensive. Large numbers of men
and cannon remained unutiliZed. Or
ders were changed suddenly in con-
tradiction and confusing each other.
testifying to general incompetence.
General Stakelberg's army, made up of
the best fighting material, was so de-
tached from the main body that the
important turning movement confded
to it was foredoomed to failure"
The dispatch adds that the informa
ton at Mukden indicates an early
evacuation of the town.

Russians Preparing to Make Another
Stand There.

With General Oku's Army at the
Front, Oct II, via Fusan, Oct. 20
The Japanese advance is ten miles
south of Mukden. The Russians have
built heavy defenses two miles south
of the Hun river, where they are ex-
pected to make stand There are no
natural defenses at that point.
The Japanese report that the battle
has been the most severe yet fought OH
the plains, where the Russian forces
consisted of. the First army corps and
the Fifth and Sixth Siberian corps.
The only defenses were infantry
trenches, which were hastily made.
