The cotton manufacturers decided 20
advance the price of their goods on
and after April 1, 1904. For some time
past the large Russian wholesale
houses have been refraining from pur'
chasing large quantities of any textile
goods. It is feared that the advance
in the price of cotton goods will have q
tendency to make sales even less than
they are at present.

Meat shot up three cents q pound the
minute the men went out. Commission
men telegraphed their customers
throughout the country to cease ship
ping hogs and cattle. The railroad DOM
panies also notified their agents in every
small town in the country not to accept
cattle for shipment to Chicago and the
other points where the strike reaches.
The result Is that shippers have ceased
sending cattle to market, Consequently,
unless the packers replace the strikers

PARKER'S STRONG DENIAL
Is Not Going to New York to Look Af-

Esopus, N. Y, Sept 10.-The fol lowing authoritative statement was issued at Rosemount to-day:
 Arthur McCausland, Judge Par ker's private secretary, said this morning that the stories to the eff feet that Judge Parker is to go to New York to take personal charge of the canvass or to assist the commit tee in its conduct or that he is dis satisfied with the work of either the national or state committee are un- true He is gratified with the eff forts of both the committees. He believes the members of all of them are working intelligently, harmoni- ously and effectively, and that they are wise in not telling about 1t. The judge has thought of going to New York for a day or two, after the publication of his letter of accept ance, but he may not even do that"

CITY SHOULD KEEP UP
 WITH THE PROCESSION
New Post Office About Ready for Occupancy-The| Triangular Spot Fronting It Needs Attention Monument to the Dead Soldier, Chatfeld. is Sug- gested-NOw is the Time to Take it up

Workmen are putting the finishing touches on the new postofice, and in order to keep up with the procession operations have been commenced on the widening of Cottage place at that point. The building is up to date in every respect, so much so that even the scrutinizing eye of Postmaster Guernsey cannot find anything about 1t to find fault with. After making tour of the different apartments the other day he came out and took up position on Grand street where he could get a good front view of the structure. While meditating upon its beauties a Democrat reporter happened along and inquired how he liked 1t. '.Very we'll indeed,'' replied the post master. Five just been going through it and l don't think tue work on the clustering and other work on the in- side could be beaten and everything else is in keeping with the interior" This was a graceful compliment to John $. Finn of this city, who did all the fancy work on the walls.
 In opening mp Cottage place it will be necessary to remove another elm tree that stands in that part of the lot which is now being added to the street and will make it almost of uniform width as far as it runs, which, unfor- tunately, is not far enough to give 1t an outlet anyhere, it's terminus being at the property of the Waterbury Ma chine Go, a few hundred feet from Meadow street. The grounds about the building are neatly graded and al. ready grass is growing in the patches left to be converted into green swards.
 In this connection it might not be amiss to inquire what the city fathers areA going to do to help beautify that long neglected portion of Waterbury :? Tn the near future a magnificent blOch will be erected on the Whittemore property, on the opposite side of Cot
 tage place, across the way from the postoffice. and at the present time nearly all the land left bare by the big confagration on Grand street is occu- pied by handsomer and better build, ings than ever betAre, so that it is up to the city to do something What will it be?
 This is question for the aldermen. and it is their duty to get to 1t at once. At a small outlay the junction of Grand and Bank streets can be great Iy improved and. made quite slightly. Remove the old truck from the imme-
 diate vicinity of the umbrageous elm,
 about the only one, of its kind now left to tell the changes time has wrought in that neighborhood, and substitute in its stead neat fountain i surmounted by a statue in bronze of Colonel John l.. Chatfield, who fought his last fight defending the Stars and
 Stripes at Fort Wagner in that memor- able battle of July IS. 1868. If the city fathers prefer some other model all right, but to the minds of many
 Colonel Chatfeld is entitled to the distinction and his fellow townsmell
 should see that he gets it.

BUSINESS BRISK.
District Court Opened for Season Lawyers as Us.
 ual Have WOrdy War.

Business in the district court opened up this afternoon rather warm. It was the first short calendar session for the season. Judge Cowell was on the bench and he congratulated the mem bers of the bar present upon their healthy appearance and hoped they were in good trim to keep the court busy every day for the next seven years. They could not give him enough work, he said. The only per- sons he pitied were the farmers who would have to do jury duty q week or two hence. There were no cases ready for assignment for trial, but he hoped some will be next week.
 It was Attorney Thoms's day in court for he appeared in most of the business on the list. Frank w. Moss was appointed guardian ad litem over Annie and Lottie Moss, who are in- terested in the suit of the city aga1nst Kate Cass for taxes. Attorney Car mody was appointed to similar office over Jennie Richards ct al.
 Attorney Byrne and Attorney J. A. Peasley warmed up things somewhat in demurrer in the suit of Byrne against Kelsey. 1t was necessary for the court to sit lightly on the attorneys. Decision was reserved.
 Foreclosure was granted, in the suits of the city for taxes against ). O.. Russell, Leopold Ginsberg, Bernard Keefe and Harry Kaufman. The amounts run from s to $125, and the property involved in one of them is valued at $7,000.
 Parties living in New York and holding interests in property entered on the grand list in Mrs M. A. Dough ertys name will be notified before pro- ceedings are definitely taken against lher for taxes.
 Attorney c. G. Root tried to cut Clerk Root out of a fee in the fore closure suit of Edward D. Stevens against Daniel Knapp, but Clerk Root brought Clerk Marsh of the superior court to his assistance, and they rout- ed the other Root bag and baggage.
 There were number of minor no tions disposed of also.

ASSAULT POSTPONED.

Chefoo, Sept 10 (noon) .--Japanese who left Dalny yesterday say that the grand assault on Port Arthur which 1t was rumored was planned by the Japanese for to-day has been post poned until Tuesday next, September 13, and that a still further postpone. sment is possible, as the Japanese in- tend to make every possible prepara- ton before again hurling themselves upon the worn out garrison. A Chi naman who left Port Arthur on the evening of September 9th confirms the reports of heavy fighting August 27th to August 31st. when he and many others worked night and day burying the dead which included Chinese, Rus sians and Japanese indiscriminately He says that during this fight four forts in the vicinity of Rihungshan were captured The Russians signalled the garrisons of these forts to retire whereupon the Japanese occupied them, but were compelled to retire later under heavy bcTnbardmenr Previous reports said that the Japan ese had only entered one fort during this attack Since August 31st fight ing has been comparatively unimpor- tant The Russians have since re- mounted guns upon the four forts above mentioned
 The Chinaman also confirmed the report of three hours attack upon Fort Itzshan on the morning of Sep tember 2. When he left the Russians were preparing vigorously to resist the next assault, for which their spies said the Japanese were making elaborate preparation.

THE HORRORS OF WAR
 MANY MEN SLAUGHTERED
Japanese Lost ThirtyFive Thousand in Two Battles This Loss is Touched for by Japanese Officer Prince Fushimi Coming to This Country to Attend the St. Louis Fair.

Reports are still current that the Russian army is effecting retrograde movement from Mukden. Only brief dispatches have been received to-day from the seat of war and this caves the situatoin rather vague. No official figures on the losses at the battle of Liaoyang have been given out but estimates on both sides at not far from fifty to sixty thousand.
 Tsingtau, Sept 10, p. m.-A Jap anese officer passed through here to- day on his way to Taichow. He says the Japanese losses at Port Arthur during the last few days were very heavy, exceeding, 15,0OO, and that the Japanese killed or wounded at the battle of Liaoyang exceeded 20,- GOO.

FOR GOLF H0NORS.
Sixteen Year old Boy Fitted Against
 a Harvard Man.

Short Hills, N. J., Sept 10.-Two youthful golfers, one a Harvard stu dent, the other Brooklyn lad who attends school at PottstoWn, Pa. are striving for national amateur golf championship honors in the final match play round of thirty-six holes on the Baltusrol club links to-day. H. Chandler Egan of the ,Ekmoor County club, Chicago, champion of the Vest ern Golf association and captain of the Harvard university golf team, rep resents the west, and Frederick Her reshoff, a 16-year-old Brooklyn boy, who won the state championship of Vermont few weeks ago, and entered from the Ekwanok Country club of Manchester, Vt is the eastern repre- sentative. Each of the survivors of the big field of 133 starters has shown remarkably good form during the week and while Egan by his consis- tency is considered to be the more likely to succeed Walter J. Travis, the defeated champion, young HerreshOff has a host of followers who believe that his work being less cratic and his long game the surer, he ought to be returned the winner.
 When the pair started out to-day for the first round Of the eighteen-hole course larRe ana representative gall dery of prominent men and women golfers followed in their wake and every movement of the players was carefully watched and keenly criti- cised. The weather was hay and the sky obscured by threatening clouds, but no rain fell and the course was just as hard and tricky as on any pre- vious day of the tournament.
 Tn the final round for the golf championship Egan was nine up on Herreshoff at the eighteenth hole.
