Announcement For Alderman.
Railroad Racket Editor DaIe's Version

Mr. Fine, the general freight
and passenger agent of the Brook
haven and Pearl River Railroad
Company, was here Friday, and
gave us pleasant call. MIR. Fine
says it is the purpose of the com
pany to make the first regular
train into Monticello big excur
sion, in which fifteen coaches will
be used, bringing out to our town
no less than 1900 persons at one
swoop. This will be about week
after the work-train gets in here,
which will put it between the first
and fifth of December. The exact
date will be known in day or
two, and our people notified. To
the end that these excursionists
may get "a good impression of
Monticello and her possibilities it
has been very wisely suggested
that we could not possibly cele-
brate such propitious event bet
ter than by getting up a big bar
becue. In fact, our people are
enthusiastic over it, and it may be
regarded as settled. Arrange
ments will be made for it just as
soon as we learn the date of the
excursion. 1t is proposed to in
vite Gov. Vardaman and other
distinguished gentlemen to come
out and be with US on that occa-
sion, and that it will prove a red
letter day for Monticello no one
can deny. Let everybody be
ready to lend helping hand when
the time comes.
The grading for the railroad has
been entirely finished, and all but
two of the crews have gone to Sill
yer Creek to work on the extern
sion of the G. & S. /. R. r. in the
direction of Columbia. One of
the creWs-Galbreath 's-remain-
ing here has had the work of
building the wye about three
quarters of a mile from town,
which was hnlshed yesterday.
The work of laying the steel was
suspended for more than a week
on account Of the supply of angle
bars running out, but was resum-
ed again Monday morning with
renewed force and is now coming
ahead at a lively clip. The toot!
foot! of the locomotive is now
heard all day long, and makes one
feel quite we'll, thank youl
The passenger agent of our rail
road assures US a splendid service
at the start. A regular passenger
will leave Brookhayen every
morning approximately about
$50; will arrive here at Z; return
at 9 as a mixed train; leave
Brookhayen again at 8 p. m. as a
mixed train, and return at as
mixed train. Connections will be
made with north and south bound
trains on the Illinois Central, and,
altogether, a better schedule could
not be arranged for the people of
Monticello.

To tell you about the Majestic
Cooking Exhibit we had from the
Oath to the 29th of October. 1t
was the same old success, as we
sold twelve of the Majestic Steel
Ranges in one weeK-that's not
so bad-and we have many good
prospects for more sales.
Remember the Majestic is the
only range on the market with
maIleabIe top that you can't
break, and it will not warp. 1t
has 100 pounds of iron in the fire
box alone, and same is in sections
and any one can replace it. The
sides and oven is made of number
1e boiler steel, riveted with soft
riyets, the oven is made in sec
tions, not in one piece, and will
not warp out of shape, also the
oven is braced and riveted. No
fancy work on the Majestic" it
is the plain old time Majestic,
built to give satisfaction and last.

TOKYO HAPPY OVER NEWS.
Mikado's Capital the Scene of Joyous
 Demonstrations.

Tokio, May 1.-The reports which nave been received here of the successful blocking of the entrance to Port Arthur harbor by the Japanese, coming on the heels of the news of the victory on the YaIu. stirred Tokio to another popular demonstration and thousands of men carrying lanterns and banners swinging hlgh from bamboo poles paraded through the city.
 Half a dozen bands of music led the various processions. The officers or the War and Navy Departments and of the general stan were the scenes of the greatest enthusiasm. Two of the inn perial princes visited the Navy Depart ment, and the assembled crowd well comed them with cheers. Then the throng demanded Admiral Ito. chief of the general staff and the hero of the fight on the Yalu during the Chino-Japa- nese war He appeared in response to the calls of the people and saluted them.
 The report which has reached here from Europe that General Kuropatkin. the commander-in-chief of the Russian troops in the Far East Is personally leading 10000 men from Liao-Yang to Feng- Wang Cheng is welcomed as good news on the theory that the more az gressive the Russian campaign becomes the more speedy will be the Japanese final victory

He had majority of over 15O in the convention and Hearst resolu- tions were adopted, the Hearst dele gates were selected and the convention was instructed to vote as a unit and stand by Charles Walsh as a member of the National Committee.

PORT ARTHUR BOTTLED.
Believed in London That It Has Been
 Accomplished.


 London, May 5.-The opinion gains ground here that the Japanese have at last effectually blocked Port Arthur No official Japanese report on the subject has yet been received, but the Tokio cor respondents are very positive regarding the matter and describe the determina- tion with which the enterprise was under taken.
 The Telegraphs correspondent declares that the entrance to Port Arthur is "ab- sohltely sealed" and adds that the Jap anese fleet in eflecting its purpose steam ed into the entrance at full speed and that the naval officers who made the two previous attempts begged permission to carry out the next attack by daylight. that being easier and their request was granted.
 50 determined were they to succeed" adds the correspondent, that they de- cided if necessary to lose half their men The number of casualties sustained by the Japanese has not yet been am nounced."
 In favor of the supposition of Japanese success in blocking Port Arthur. it is pointed out that the previous attempts had left the channel so narrow that 8 couple of vessels sunk in the fair way would probably suffice to seal up the en- trance, while there is noticeable eva sion and halfheartedness in the Russian denials of the enemy's success.
 There is no confirmation here of the Paris rumor that an engagement between Russian and Japanese squadrons had ta- ken place off Vladivostok and St. Peters burg knows nothing of the rumor in the capture of New Chwang. It is reported that the Japanese advanced to within
