At o'clock the same afternoon the

At $40 next morning the Japanese
crossed the river near the village of
Tchindiagon CD where, however. the
Russian outposts commenced firing
upon them. The Russian advance
guards had been furnished with
small gun, and they succeeded in de-

Japanese bridging operations ceased.

The controversy over the Rev J, J. LockwOod's lecture has now reached a point where it is question of ve- racity between the minister and the reporter, and so long as MT Lockwood denies that he uttered the words at- trtbuted to him the republicans whom he scored, and whom he called deal- CTS in votes and places, will of course try to believe him But we feel safe in saying that Mir Lockwood wf1i, if he continues in politics. feel the weight Of the g. 0. p. hand. Speaker Kenealy cannot rest under such charges. and the: man that makes them, whether true ol. not, will find the republican party has no use for him.

A Race Between Veterans.

"A race between veterans" Is what the New Haven Leader calls the ap~ preaching contest for the United States senatorshfp. It seems to as- sume that Mir Fessenden, Representa- tive Hill. ex-Governor Bulkeley. Don ald T. Warner. Congressman Brande- gee and ex-Governor Mclean, all have a peculiar personal interest in the con- test, but 1t does not say that each of them is hustlinR for the place himself Some of them are young for veterans as veterans in politics go, and it is not easy to believe that one or two Of those named are personal candidates unless as a mere matter of form. indi- eating an ambition to be seriously fol lowed later.
 Meanwhile all speculation of this sort is rather curious than important There is one man who is known to be using all his energy to obtain the cleo ton. His name is Fessenden. As we understand 1t he ts the only one. who is openly and earnestly seeking the election. There is time for a great deal to happen before the election of the legislature which will choose Gen. eral Hawley's successor. If that leg islature feels as did the legtsla ture of 1908 when it met, Mir Fessendent IS likely to have an advantage over any competitor, but this has been known so long that the real fighting ground Is going to be in the choice of members of the general assembly. Failing a decided majority for some one candi- date, there may be interesting con tests and combinations after the 1egis- lature meets. "
 Precisely what success any cam- paign on this basis attains may possi- bly, not be known definitely before the early days of the session.. Hartford Times.

Tn these days Of 'tkneW things the canning industry Is keeping abreast of the times, and the most conaprehen- sive display of canned food products ever brought together under one roof will be seen in the great agric ultuFal palace at the Loalisiana>a Rurehase, ex- position. Canned meats, fruits and vegetables, and compressed breads for the soldier on the march or the sailor on cruise will be displayed in at- traehive insta Natdons and one portion Of the food section will. have the ap- pearance of a vast model naval and army commissary store. All the equip- naent for naval and army conlmisssar-- r. les will be. on exhibition. That this country stands in the. front rank fots commissary supplies prepared by mod ern skill in canning and packing is evidenced by the fact that both Rus eia and Japan are now placing big orders for these goods in this coun- try, while the war cloud is towering over the far east

After extended ss deliberatiens and numerous conferences. the officials aof the St Louis exposition have decided ngainst the ragtfme song, ol. even the ragtime music without words to ac- company it. says Collier's Weekly. The musical director Of the. exposi- tdon. and the chairman of the musi- cal program, have issued an ediot that all songs. either in the state pa- vilons, Festival hall or along the Pike, shall be tstrictly classical and
 modern if possible. but all element of the ragtime music 1hall afs Sing ing shall be eliminated. .s% 1T laye no personal feeling of enrnfty against ragtime." says the musical director, "but I think too much of itais a bad thing. believe the neopla 1sssood music. Thers Fare manHs ysf nEItseul and popular selections from the clas- sics Because music can be called classic does not necessarily Imply that 1t should be heavy or generally unattraetive. Some of the most pop. ular music of to-day is the lighter music of the classics ..ssIshe chair, nlan of the musical program says that one reason the ragtirne tune was eliminated from the exposition was that. like the measles. the air that is given sentiment in these tunes seems 'conta gious, and the people would wish for nothing else, once the . . rasftiime rEa,lsftirr tunes began The dedaion of the exposition officials to exclude ragtime has created furore along the Pike

 Next an vaIue are antiquities of every kind description and alleged epoch. but most of them such clever tnftations as to require experts to de- tect the deception. The only conhpe- tent judges in the matter are the of ficials of the government galleries whose duty is to inspect and seal all eases of works intended for experta- don. Should they. however, find any precious ancient pieces. they ex-offfcdo hinder the egportataon, yet thousands Of cases are dispatched to all count ries. The question oe price for aal. tiquities is most difficult to ascertain, for it is one of individual taste and means.

Some of the present members of The various municipal boards have been known to raise their voices and de- nounce secret sessions of former boards. but now that they themselves have a chance to meet in secret and talk behind closed doors, their ideas of such work seem to have undergone a change, Not a n,urmur is heard now from them against executive ses- Mens.S Even the democrats of the boards seem to be Iypnotfzed Or have lost their voices. for they are not heard in protest against these un-Ameriean and unfair sessions Editor Osborn hit the nail on the head in his article in last Sundays New York Herald, from which we .anoted the other day We again tsnn 10 that article and here. with give our readers another quota ton from 1t: F <.

 eHThe seriousness of this matter is actually greater in the case of Wafer bury than in the ease of any other Connecticut city, but 1t is Of small consequence nowhere. It will be re- memhered that The election of the pres ent city government. of Waterbury was attended by certain unusual con- ditiens. The issue was between law and order and disrespect for law and order. The appeal was made to the masses, for no one for moment be- neves that without the support of the masses g. government in eity the size of Waterbury could be established. The masses responded in manner and with an enthusiasm that should have forever settled the doubts which had been entertained of their loyalty, and of itself determined the officials elected to transact all of. their busi- ness in the open, .."<.
 "They should have, in other words. met the response to their appeal with equal frunkness and avoided the pit falls of secret deliberations as, they would another trolley strike, for it is only in this way that suspicion can be allayed.
