KENEALY'S VOTE
 STILL A CONUNDRUM

The effort to find out who voted for the Hon Michael Kenealy for chair man of the republican state commit tee is still on, and the probability is it will never be known for certainty. One of the latest lists made up puts the two Waterbury men down as yot- ing one for Gates and one for Ke- nealy. The Hartford Times last evening says that the vote of the Wa terbury delegation was perplexing. Rumor had it on the day of the con- vention that the two Waterbury dele gates, Congressman Lilley and Sena- tor Cornelius Tracy were split as be- tween Gates and Kenealy. Lilley was regarded by the Gates men as safe; in fact, he had said he would vote for Gates. Tracy was uncertain, and i'll reviewing the ballot, he was placed in the Kenealy column. But Tracy came out ill an interview recently in which he said:
 Il voted for the old man (Gates) and the present chairman of the commit tee knows it and knew where I stood before the vote. It's no secret. While personally I think MT Kenealy one of the most capable men in the state, I will say this: That if he is going to use the machinery of the state commit tee to further the interests of Sam Fessenden I would most certainly ob- ject, without regard for the personal abilities of MT Kenealy."
 It is now up to Congressman LiIley to explain, but so far as reported, ''Brer Lilley ain't saying nuffin.'

RUBES OUT IN FORCE.
Co G's Second Barn Dance a Success
 Socially and Financially.

The state armory on Phoenix avenue was packed to the doors last night, the attraction being the second barn dance given by Co e. The first barn dance had served as an advertisement for last nights affair and the people turned out in large numbers. They anticipated a merry time and were not disappointed. Many persons were dressed for the occasion, appearing in rural costumes, which one might think were borrowed from the resi- dents of some farming towns. They looked and acted the parts of country visitors in a manner which was most amusing to the large number of per- sons who filled the galleries and were contented with looking on. An anus ing sight was the grand march and the walk for the prizes. Here were seen the odd characters, the queer shapes. the unique costumes, the an- tique styles, and the funny walk. There were a number of very apprO- priate costumes and the judge, Mat thew Doyle, who appeared a typical looking squire from the country, had some difficulty in making a selection of the prize winners. The winners were as follows: Gentlemen, first, $2.5O, Bernard Coyle; second, $2, James Preston; third, chicken, George w. Bacon; ladies' first, Miss Annie Brown; second, Miss Margaret Court ney; third, Miss Roach. The prizes for the ladies were the same as those for the men. After the grand march dancing was enjoyed until 1 o'clock. Lallier's orchestra furnished music.
 The hall was attractively decorated for the occasion. A hay loft was erected at the side of the hall and served as a band stand. About the side walls and ceilings were decora- tions of hay and straw. About the hall sweet cider and pumpkin pie were sold. There was a big demand for them for they were the kind that tickle the palate. In the opposite corner soda water and light refresh ments were served. During the even- ing pig was rallied, ticket 47 win- ming.
 The dance was "a magnificent success from every point of view. Everybody had a delightful time and spent a very pleasant evening.
 The committee in charge was com posed of Squire Halpfn. chairman; Deacon Kellie. Constable Fitzpat- rick. Parson Dunphy, Neighbor Ghent, Deacon McCarthie, Squire Jacksin, Parson Culhen and Rube Lawliar.

I've Men Fined in Police Court Tee
 day-They Took an Auveal.

Judge Burpee occupied the bench ct tO-day's session of the city court. The case of Adam Dauch of 55 Bishop street, charged with violation of the milk ordinance in selling milk without
 Delng registered, was continued until Tuesday.
 John Rose and Andrew Cozen were charged with stealing about seventy pounds of aluminium wire from the New Milford Power Co. They pleaded not guilty and were defended by At. torney Guilfoile. Michael Keeley, manager of the Waterbury Scrap Iron Co told of the purchase of seventy eight pounds of aluminium wire from Mlchael Tanenbaum, junk dealer. It was worth about 30 cents a pound. MT Tanenbaum testified to buying forty-twjo pounds of it from Joseph Rose and Andrew Cozen, who said that they had walked about twenty-five miles from Waterbury and picked it up along the way. Mir Burke, chief en- gineer of the New Milford Power Co, recognized the stolen wire as the same kind as that used by the New Milford company, which was the only company in this part of New England now using this kind of wire. It is used in con- ducting the power from Bulls Bridge to this city. The line is laid through private property, a passway through which had been bought by the cona- pany The line is patrolled daily by men who are employed to see that eV- erything works all right. Each Inah has seven miles of territory to cover.i Lately the company has been installing new insulators and there are thou sands of dollars worth of the wire and other material lying along the route. Attorney Guilfoile offered no evidence for the defense, but asked for acquittai on the ground that it was not shown that the men had taken the wire iA this city or in some one of the towns between here and Bulls Bridge. Judge Burpee, however, fined the men $16 and costs. An appeal was taken.
 Andre D'Andrea, charged with breach of the peace and carrying con- cealed weapons. was defended by At torney Bauby. He is said to have used some impure language in addressing woman on Bishop street last Sunday. Yesterday he was arrested on war rant by Detective Keegan and when searched at the police station a stilettO was found on his person. The case promised to be one of many contradic tiOns and to be long drawn out, but when the state had finished its case Judge BuTpee said he would continue the breach of. peace for thirty days and inflicted a fine of $10 and costs for carr rying concealed weapons.

Russians Will Let Japs Cross in Small Numbers but Will Hold Back Gen. eral lAdvance-The nuscovites' Sub- marine Boats in Readiness.

St. Petersburg, April 27.-An account given here of the movements of the cavalry under Major General Mistchen- ko, commander of the western Cossack brigade, while not officially confirmed, is accepted as trustworthy. It fol- lows:
 General Mistchenko's CossaclSs reach ed Song Jin in northeast Korea. and af ter occupying that place turned north along the SeoulPeKin road and occu- pied Anju. Not a. shot was fired, the Japanese and Koreans withdrawing. The unexpected appearance of the Cos sacks in the rear of the Japanese force near the Yalu caused a panic among the Japanese troops proceeding toward the Yalu from Piag Yangan they con- sequently retreated. The Japanese troops at Pak-Chon, Ku-Song, Ka-San and ChOng-Ju did not attempt to stop the Cossacks, but moved toward the northeast by forced marches.

A CONVENTION OF LIARS
An Interchange of Thought by New
 Hampshire Democrats.

Concord, N. H., April 27.-Aside from the unexpected introduction of person. alities into debate by delegates, the democratic state convention held to- day to choose four delegates at large to the national convention, passed without interrupation. The exchange of personalities began when Delegate Samuel D. Fame, of Haverhill, ques- tioned the purity of politics of Dele gate John T. Amey, of Lancaster. Amey replied in kind and was promptly told that his statement was "a lie." Amey was quick with the dec laration, You are another" but the affair did not proceed beyond an ex- change of words.
 A platform was adopted, which de- manded tariff revision, control of the trusts and a halt in the march toward imperialism" The convention left the question of presidential nominees to the wisdom of the delegates" of the national convention

THEY FOUGHT ALL NIGHT
The Casualty Was a Negro Desperate
 Killed.

Oakland, Cal, April 27.-After a fierce battle between the police and Wilson Anderson, a desperate negro, lasting from 10 o'clock last evening un- til o'clock today, Anderson was shot and killed.
 Anderson drove a white woman and a colored porter from the house at Fourth and Broadway, where he lived, at the point of pistol. Policemen Sherry and Ford were summoned to arrest the negro. Anderson fired at Sherry, the bullet grazing the officers arm. The negro then barricaded the doors and windows of the house and fired at eY- eryone who approached.
 About twenty police officers sur rounded the house and during the night a running battle was kept up, over G. hundred shots being fired by the police At daybreak it was found that the das- perate negro was still alive. Every time he appeared at a window he was met by Q volley of bullets from the weapons of the police. Chief Hodgkins tried several times to get him to sur render, but the desperado refused to leave the house and directed his at tack on every officer who came within shooting distance.
 At o'clock today Officer Sherry stole up to Q window and fired, wounding the negro. From another direction Ser geant Clark fired into the room The negro fell to the floor and the officers rushed into the house and captured him. In a short time he died. There were nine bullets in his body

THE HOUSE,

Washington, April G7.-In the pres ence of crowded galleries and of almost the full membership. Messrs. Littlefield of Maine, and Williams of Mississippi. In the house today made speeches in- tended for the coming presidential elec- ton. Both speakers were wildly ap- plauded by their respective sides, but there was an absence of personalities such as characterized the clash be- tween Messrs. Dalzell and Cochran. In deed, the best of humor prevailed.
 MT. Littlefield continuously taunted the democrats with the utterances of MT. Cochran and by name called on several of the prominent members of the party in the house to answer Yes" or Nc" whether they approved MT. Cockran's tariff views, and whether they intended going before the people on the issue of free trade. He de- tended the protective tariff system from every point of view.
 MT. Williams, adopting the tactics Of MT. Littlefield endeavored to force from the republicans. and from MT. Littlefield in particular, categorical answers to several questions, which he deemed pertinent. MT. LittIefield an- swered yes when asked if he ap- proved of everything in the Mckinley administration which enabled MT. Will Hams to remind him that he (Mr. Lit tlefield) and MT. Williams had stood to- gether in opposition to colonialism. MT Williams asserted that the repub- licans were going before the people "on an issue borrowed from the gamblers table, of standing pat"
 In opening his remarks, MT. Little field of Maine, said it had been the privilege of the house to witness some very unusual and remarkable display of parliamentary eloquence. "The gen. tIeman from New York" he said. has contributed in large and remarkable degree to the rhetorical display" He congratulated the country upon MT. Cockran's return to congress, which brought forth democratic applause and he paid tribute to him as a man of ability and great capacity, but he said his arguments that are supposed to maintain that Utopian theory for fis- cal Legislation" had long been thread bare. frayed out. toolworn. travel stained and he said, "they now achieve new distinctiveness by the rhetorical display by the gentleman from New York"
 MT. Cochran, he said, spent little time in developing metaphysical theor- ies and general line of argument and discussion which were supposed to be behind and justify the doctrine of free trade. On the contrary, he said, Mir Cochran devoted his time largely to an assault, a villifying and demagogic as- sault on the doctrine of protection.

4 JAPANESE REVERSE.

St. Petershurg, April 27.-The gener- al staff believes that one of the Japan ese columns attempting to cross the Yalu at Turnchen sustained a severe loss owing to the unexpected smelling by Russian battery on the opposite bank. which destroyed the Japanese pontoons. The Japanese, a member of the general staff says. tried to cross tine river at six or seven different points and succeeded at only one point The staff has no further news.
 The crossing of the Yalu by the Japanese forces does not impress the Russians in view of the reports of ensuing Japanese reverses.

The Certain Adjournment
 of Congress Today
LAST BLOCK REMOVED
Action Taken in the Senate on the Bill Providing a Government for the Panama Canal Zone - Another 0ratorical Contest.

Washington, April 27.-Legislation which now stands in the way of ad . journment tomorrow and the weight those matters will be permitted to have on the programme for concluding the session at that time, was taken up to- day at a meeting of the republican steering committee of the senate. The Panama zone bill was placed above all other measures and it was agreed that some legislation must be had before adjournment.
 An informal report was received from the senate conferees to the effect that no agreement was in sight. The house amendment to the Kittredge bill places the entire matter of the con- trol of the canal in the hands of the president to make regulations to govz ern the strip until the next session of congress, while the Kittredge bill goes extensively into the questions of law for the isthmus in a manner that is said to be satisfactory to the admins tration.
 Following the meeting of the steer ing committee, MT. Lodge on the floor of the senate. practically served no- ttce that there could be no adjourn ment until some legislation is enacted on the canal zone.
 Senator Gallinger announced that at the first opportunity he would move for an executive session. He has in charge the nomination of w. D. Crum to be collector of the port of Charleston, :. C.. and will ask for its confirmation. The Crum nomination was discussed in the session of the steering committee and it was agreed that if by any chance the conference on the canal bill should delay adjournment the Crum case would be pressed in the senate. Con- ferees on the canal bill have hope, how ever. that they will be able to report an agreement tomorrow and that con- gress will adjourn during the day.
