FOR BETTER
SERVICE
People of Manchester Petition
Railroad Commissioners.

The board Of railroad commission
erS will meet at Manchester Wednes-
day, March 3rd to give hearing upon
complaint Of the present passenger
service given by the Rutland rail road
which Manchester people claim is en-
tirely inadequate, and not such as a
town that furnishes the business that
does to the road should have.
Under present conditions there is no
train for the south leaving that station
from about one a. M, ubtil nearly the
same hour in the afternoon.
The attention of the commissioners
will also probably be called to the
railroad station, one of the oldest and
poorest on the line.

The cruisers Bayan and Novik pur-
sued the japanese torpedo flotilla. 1t
is said that one Of the torpedo boats
was sunk.
The fact that the japanese have re-
newed the attack is interpreted here
to mean that they are determined to
bottle up or destroy the Russian feet
at Port Arthur in order to give them
selves freedom for land Ganeuvers to
cut off or invest the city or as feint
TO cover a movement elsewhere.
A Peiing dispatch says the director
general of Chinese railroads reports
that 100 Russian infantrymen, an Off
Ger, gun and large supply Of am.
munltiOn are. at Yaoyangho and that
200 Russian cavalrymen and two guns
have arrived at Luilichang. These
towns are both on inc west side of the
Lao river
The irritation against the United
States on account OF the supposed un-
friendly attitude Of that country to-
ward Russia, which was slightly no
ticeable throughout Inc negotiations,
seems to have become daily more pro-
nounced, and since the Vicksburg incl
dent at Chemulpo when the commander
of this American gunboat is said to
have refused to unite with the COM
manders Of other foreign warships at
Chemulpo 10 protest against the fight
ing which resulted in the loss Of the
Russian warships VariEg and Korietz,
and the fact that the Vicksburg did
not take on board survivors of the Rus.
sian ships, American business men
here are really alarmed concerning the
possible effect upon American trade.
Within the last few days orders for
American goods have been counter
nandcd, the only explanation given be-
ng that the prospective purchasers did
not desire to buy American goods under
tie present circumstances

The outgoing board have been faith
ful to its trust and a man who is in a
position to know says that the village
affairs, have not been so cleverly
looked after in several years. The
Democratic or Citizens caucus will be
held tomorrow evening.
AS at the Republican caucus tonight
the chief interest appears to be over
street commissioner. NJ. w. Stewart
is q candidate to succeed himself, J.
Fl. Livingston is also mentioned for
the place and if nominated should
prove strong candidate as he is
thoroughly informed on the subject
and perhaps knows more about road
building than any other man in town.

VILLAGE
CAUCUSES
Republican Tonight Demo-
cratic Tomorrow.
SOEE OF THE MENTIONED
Chief Interest Seems to Be over
the Selection of Street
Commissioner.

The republican caucus to nominate
candidates for village officers will be
held in Apollo hall this evening.
A stroll around the village this
morning and talk with several well
known citizens of each ward would in
dictate that there is not any great
enthusiasm as yet manifested in the re-
suit.
The general opinion is that Frank
E. Battles will be nominated for viii
lage president unanimously.
There will be no opposition to the
nomination of John Kelso as clerk and
c. L. Dewey as treasurer.
Fred Godfrey will be the candidate
for collector
For village attorney, William j.
Meagher appears to be the unanimous
choice of republicans,
As far as auditors are concerned
nobody cares much about the Office
anyway.
There will be two or more candi-
dates for the nomination Of street COM
missioner. The friends of Fremont
Gregg will make a strong effort to Sc
cure his nomination, and Henry G.
Camp has quite an influence at work,
in his behalf. c. c. Kimball and NJ.
B. Middleton are also mentioned
For trustees there does not appear
to be much of scramble In ward
one the names OF Joseph M. Ayres and
A. w. Braisted are mentioned. In
ward two several names are announc-
ed but not one has a very strong fol-
lowing. Candidates for the third ward
has not yet been sprung, and it would
not be strange if Edward Lonergan
should be nominated to succeed him
self.
w. l.. Gokay is not willing to sue
ceed himself in the fifth ward and A.
J. Cooper will be nominated if he will
accept. In the sixth ward S. u. Rock
wood and DR. l.. II. Ross are mention
ed. In the seventh the present IN
will doubtless have no OPP

was more than they could withstand
/ The guns Of the forts on the Tiger
| peninsula, Golden hill and Electric cliff
were turned upon the enemy, and a
| furious connonade was kept up until
the enemy retired Then the firing
slackened and became desultory."
Admiral Togo is in command of the
japanese fleet operating against Port
Arthur.
A report from Paris gives additional
details of the japanese attempt to close
the entrance OF the harbor of Port Ar
thur. II states that the Japanese sent
Ave or six old transport hulks, CON
yoyed by torpedo boats, to Port Ar
thur with the evident purpose of sink
ing the hulks at the entrance Of the
harbor.
Having been the first to discover the
torpedo boats and having opened fierce
fire on them, the Retylzan, supported
by the shore batteries, destroyed near
the entrance to the channel two steam
ships which We're bearing straight
down on her. The first Of these went
on the rocks near the lighthouse on Ii
grovy peninsula. The other sank near
Mount Tolstoi.
The firing against the torpedo boats
was continued until dawn.
Daylight revealed four steamships
destroyed in the roadstead and eight
torpedo boats fleeing toward warships
which were awaiting them at sea.
The japanese crews saved themselves
in boats Some of the men were drown
ed, and probably some were picked up
by the enemy's torpedo boats.
The channel to the harbor is clear
The complete arrangement of the
japanese plan was owing to the bril-
liant resistance and destructive fire of
the Retvizan.
One Of the japanese steamships
burned for many hours. Floating tor
pedoes are still visible in the road |
stead.
The enemy's feet left the ofing in
two lines
The fire Of the Retvizan was strong
ly seconded by that of the shore bat
terry north of Port Arthur. The report |
adds that two Japanese ships lie in II |
ger bay, that along the shore another
japanese ship was burned and that a
fourth lies wrecked on the shore out
side Tiger bay
It is believed that these wrecks are
not warships, but hulks designed to be
sunk at the entrance Of the harbor.
The wrecks are said to be at consider
able distances from the harbor en-
trance, which remains open.
The japanese failed to effect their
purpose.
Two of the ships lie bstween the en-
trance Of the channel and the Laothie-
shan peninsula.
