Ba ttleship Georgia Launch ed To-Day at Bath.
 Elaine.

Bath, Me, Oct 11-Everything was ready early to-day for the launching from the Bath Iron works of the largest vessel ever built ill the state of Maine, the twin screw, first class battleship Georgia. Miss Stella Tate, daughter of the late Ma jor William Tate and sister of Con gressman F. Carter Tate who was to christen the vessel, and other guests of the builders arrived yesterday. The weather was cloudy to-day but conditions generally were favorable for a successful launching at about Fl o'clock this afternoon.
 The big battleship was gaily decor ated with flags and bunting as were also the office and yard buildings 1n honor of the occasion. Excursion1stS from all sections of Maine had come to witness the launching and the party entertained by the officials of the company included Governor Jo- seph M. Terrell of Georgia, Mrs Ter rel. Judge and Mrs Hamilton Me . Whorter. Miss Camelia McWhorteE Congressman F. Carter Tate, Mrs Tate. Miss Stella Tate and Congress- man w. c. Adamson, all of Georgia.
 Miss Tate was escorted to the launching platform by Vice President John $. Hyde and instructed in her duties as sponsor. MT Hyde also hau personal supervision of the launching.
 method somewhat different rom the usual one of releasing the hull py seyering a cord was employed to-day' when sawyers standing beneath the vessel severed the monstrous shoe nieces with crosscut saws, and the vessel was started towards the water.
 AS the battleship began to move Miss Tate broke pint bottle of cham Dagne across the bow, naming the craIt in honor of her own southern staue and bidding it long and effective ca reer in upholding the name of the United States
 As the stern parted the surface of the Kennebec, the Georgia was sa- luted by numerous craft and manufac' turing plants along the shore, all of which were acknowledged by her siren and whistle. as the battleship was launched with steam up. When she was afioat this gave her more the appearance Of a finished battleship than any previously launched. Both military masts also being in position as we'll as the coming tower and three smoke tunnels, good idea of the pow erful fighting craft was offered to-day Several tugs were at her service and she was docked during the afternoon. Following the launQhing q luncheon was served in the draughting rooms.

THOSE OBSTRUCTINC
 TELEGRAPH POLES

That pole on Canal street, referred to in the Democrat yesterday, it seems does not belong to the Southern New England Telephone Go at all and MT Sperry says he does not think the company has a wire on them. The question of ownership now rests between the trolley company and the Western Union Telegraph Go; but as there appeared to be some doubts as which corporation put them there, the reporter decided to let Mir Rice's attorney find that out. The only thing certain about it is that the poles and wires are there, and Mir Rice claims that, they will have to be removed.

RATES ADVANCE.
Caused by Shrinkage of Imperial Gold
 Stock.

Berlin, Oct II, 2:14 p. m.-The ad- vance of the Imperial Bank rate of discount today to five per cent and the lending rate to six per cent fol- lowed as usual by an advance to the same rates by the Saxon, Bavarian and other note issuing banks was di- rectly the result of the unfavorable money situation and the shrinkage of the Imperial gold stock, although $4,- 250,000 was imported from London during the last few days, besides the banks heavy advances to joint stock and private bankers for further gold purchases abroad. The causes of the present position of the money market are fairly clear. The announcement that the Imperial and Prussian govern ments would jointly issue $37 ,5O0 OO0 in treasury bonds came at the end or September, when the Berlin market was traditionally under heavy pres sure for cash to meet certain annual engagements.
 Immediately after that announce ment the great joint stock banks cur tailed their loans and discounts in or der to be ready to take the bonds. At the same time the requirements for the September settlement became unex- pectedly heavy and cash speculation on the Boerse, too, made large demands, besides the hunting for Paris ex- change on American account, and money rose until the bankers could make profit by drawing cash from the Imperial bank for investment in call loans. Hence came an unprece- dented pressure on the bank Septem- Der 30 with record breaking weekly return.
 The demand for money since Octo- Der has remained unabated, with calls keeping close to four and one half per cent. The situation was fur ther aggravated through the fact that the Seehandtung,. or Prussian state bank, which usually is heavy lender in the open market, has latterly placed but small sums, having taken consider able blocks of treasury stock off the hands of the Imperial bank and having already begun hrsbanding it's re- sources for the year end.

CITY NEWS

Charles Cooke of Cherry street and Miss Charlotte Egan of Wolcott street will be married at the Sacred Heart churhc tomorrow morning at S:3O o'clock.
 Nearly every team in the city has been engaged for the Wolcott fair to- morrow. Apparently the fair retains its old time popularity. The Beacon VaHey fair will take place on Thurs day and number of Waterburians will be in attendance.
 Attorney James A. Peasley this af- ternoon filed a petition in the probate court for the commitment of OraIie Lapointe and Antonia Zinno to the hospital for the insane. There will be a hearing on the petition on Octo- Der IS.
 There is every likelihood that the trouble which has existed between Samuel Friedman and Louis Simons on Bank street will be revived. Two weeks ago the case of Friedman against Simons for $1, 900 damages for assault was withdrawn and the an- nOuncement made that an agreement had been reached between the liti- gants. 1t now transpIres that an agreement had not been made, but was expected. This morning an ef- fort was made to wind up the matter, but neither Friedman nor Simons could agree on the question of paying the court expenses and the indications are that the mater will be fought out in court.
 The suit of the Hotchkdss Supply Go of Springfield against the Charles yTyI (S<~ h ovI Tr16r ell in the district court to-day. The plaintiff seeks to recover $40 balance on ibill of goods. The defendant did the plumbing and steamfitting work in the Haase building when it was be- ing remodeled for the Connecticut ho- tel. MT Haase bought the material through the defendant from the plaint- if for S165O.53. All of this sum was paid to the plaintiff excepting the $40 claimed, and this the defendant de- clined to pay on the ground that 1t was commission on the whole bill of goods. The plaintiff held there should be no commission and there the diff ference of opinion enters. Decision was reserved.
 James Gallagher, the three and a half year old son of Michael Gala gher of 5 West Burton street, has been missing from his home since 1O:30 o'clock this morning and the family is very much worried over his absence. The child was playing in the yard and wandered away unknown to anybody. He was dressed in brown trousers and coat and wore a black cap. He never was away from home alone before. The above item was written at the re- quest of the boys father and was about to be turned over to the editor when the youngsters mother rushed into the office, breathless and yet ap- parently overjoyed, and informed the reporter that they had found little James on Cole street watching work men clean out catch basin for the

possible turning movement from the west, where the ground is open, but there the river bars the way and no decisive victory is seemingly pos sible unless he can reach the Japanese line of communication below Liao- yang.
 A military expert writes:
 Tt is difficult to say when Field Marshal Oyama will accept battle. Perhaps he will resist the advance at various positions north of the Taitse river and then defend the river. But, according to the latest unofficial re ports, our troops are advancing along the whole line and the cavalry is even across the Taitse river"
 A special dispatch from Chefoo says that two correspondents who reached Port Arthur were expelled September 28 because they had not proper au- thorization.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-10-11

St Petersburg, Oct II, 12:45 D. m.- A period of anxiety is ahead. The Russian public have been warned that now the tables are turned and the Russian army is advancing they can not expect news which might reveal General Kuropatkin's plans to the Japanese and the people vii have to be content with meagre information concerning what has actually been ac- cOnlplished until the impending battle is ill full swing. The same reticence characterized the Japanese offensive and the latter being now on the de- fensive will probably furnish the world with more information of the Russian movements than can be ex- pected from the Russian side.
 An officer of the general staff speak ing of the necessity for secrecy while on the offensive recalled how pri- vate letter falling into the hands of betrayed the whole plan for Barclay de TolIy's offensive movements and almost led to disaster.
 With the curtain down on the war stage many wild rumors may be ex- pected. While the general staff inti- mates that Kuropatkin is advancing cautiously and entrenching as he goes most of the military critics hold the opinion that his greatest chance of success is quick smash at the Jap anese positions north of the Taitse river before they had a chance to pre- pare for their withdrawal.
 As Kuropatkin's order of the day was not given out until several days after the advance began, it would not surprising If heavy fighting was all ready in progress. Indeed the latest newspaper dispatches say that an ar tillery duel lasted throughout Sunday on the center and right flank and that the Japanese are everywhere retiring before the Russian advance.
 The statement that Kuropatkin IS moving on each side of the railroad in order to have an easy line of com mununication would indicate his in- tention to make frontal attack with

WHAT OLIVIER SAYS.
He Tries to Explain Catholic Troubles
 in France.

Rome, Oct 11.-M. Emile Olivier, the French advocate and politician, in the course of an interview attributes most of the Catholic troubles in France to the. bad idea of the papacy, in 1880, of interfering in the domestic policy of the republic and ordering the Catholics, who were mostly of mon archical tendencies, to accept the new regime. This caused the disorganiza- ton of the Catholics. who have not succeeded in recognizing.
 NJ. Olivier thinks the denunciation of the concordat impossible, the French government, he says, having against it great mass of the faithful, especially women, which it cannot af- ford, now that three great questions, those of the military, finances ana the workingmen, need to be solved.
