SOCIALISM AS IT IS.
Father Crowley Touched On It In
 Yesterday's Discourse.

The Rev Father Crowley of St Thomas church took for his subject yesterday, modern socialism. He. spoke at some length on it and sum- med up that socialism as it is preach ed today, is the same as it was when first discussed centuries ago. He quoted several writers and apostles of socialism showing that one of the objects aimed at is religion; though that point has not been brought to the surface in the discussion of the sub ject in this country. Nevertheless, Father Crowley held, that any doc urine that aims to undermine an es- abolished creed, cannot be deserving of support. The foundation of prop erty, according to some disciples of socialism is need, and with others pos session, and he that has more than his needs is a thief. The equality aimed at in socialism, he held, is practical impossibility, for as long as the world has been some men have shown them selves to be the superior of others.

YALE NEWS VIEWS.
Says There Is Good Reason for De-
 feat of Big Teams.

New Haven, Oct 31. The Yale News to-day in commenting on the defeat of Yale, Harvard and Princeton by lesser college teams, all within one week and three weeks before the close of the season, says that there is a very good reason for this unlocked for situ, ation. The policy of the big colleges is to bring their teams gradually through a stage of development for the big games, while the minor colleges which turn out stronger teams than formerly concentrate their energy i'll preparations for the game with the big colleges. While actual defeat may be good thing for beaten team, says the News, ''it does not seem alto gether desirable that the winning team should get the credit of being the bet ter under such circumstances The obvious way to avoid this unsatisfac. tory state of affairs is for the three colleges to make their schedules short CT and play fewer strong opponents.

BATTERING PoRT ARTHUR.

Chefoo, Oct 31-The general asr sault upon Port Arthur, which began in preliminary way on October 24, developed into fiercely raging battle yesterday when, according to hith- erto infaIlible authority, the Japanese flung heavy forces against the fortress in their third attempt to secure com 'manding position. The result of yes terday's fighting is unknown.
 The Japanese have been preparing for this assault for month. It is be- lieved that the Japanese did not ex- pect fo capture the town on the occa- sion, but to accomplish another inn ,portant forward step. This plan was adopted following the first assault, when thousands of lives were sacri- feed in an attempt to swarm over the Notifications by mere force of num- bers, regardless of loss.
 This assault, like the previous one, was climatic incident of weary weeks of trench digging, gun mount ing and small engagements. Tn the opinion of experts the assault will cease when the Japanese have secured such positions as will enable them to creep steadily closer under noses of the Russian guns. It Is believed thaJ two more general assaults will be ne cessary before the distances between the belligerent lines is sufficiently shortened to make an attempt to enter the main forts and make the end of the siege practicable.

CEILING FELL IN.
Four Men Hurt and Panic Among 600 Narrowly
 Averted.

New York, Oct 31.-Four men have been severely hurt by the falling of a ceiling in Lyric hall, Sixth avenue and 42nd street. A score were trampled upon and panic was narrowly avert ed among 600 men, women and chil- dren in the hall, where German singing societies were holding a festival.
 The ceiling was knocked loose by the dropping of several large dumb bells on the floor above used by an. athletic club. It fell with crash in the wine room, off the main hall. All the men there were knocked down and snlothered by cloud of dust. They scrambled to their feet and ran Into the hall. Someone cried Fire" and the audience made wild rush for the stairway. Fortunately the exit was large and no one was seriously crush ed.
 A squad of police were just about to. raid gambling house nearby and with drawn clubs they stopped the stam- pede on the stairs just as it seemed as if loss of life was certain.

\ Waterbury Man So Pleased
 He Paid Ahead of Time.

SAW HIn SHOOT.
The Nan Patterson Case Again Comes to the
 Front.

New York, Oct 31.-Interest has been revived in the case of Nan Pat terson, the actress who has been in prison several months awaiting trial on charges of fatally shooting "Cae- sar" Young, well known turf man. Two mysterious persons, asserted to be among the first citizens of the com munities in which they reside, are re ported to have come forward, accord ing to the Press, with written state ments that they saw Young kill him. self while riding in cab with the ac- tress on his way to the pier where his wife was awaiting his arrival to begin a voyage to Europe. The geuineness ton.
 Quite as remarkable as the tragic end of Young is the story now pub Iished. Hardly had Young drawn his last breath than one of the two wit nesses is asserted to have sworn the other to secrecy and himself took a VOW that what he had seen never would be told. This was done, it is ex- plained, because the men did not want it known that they were in New York at the time. Both men returned to their homes the same day.
 At first the pledge was easy to keep, but when Miss Patterson was indicted conscience began to press upon the mind of one of the men that there was a duty to the young woman that rose in importance far above consideration of self.
 As the weeks of her detention heightened into months the demands of conscience became torture and in doubt as to the best way in which to make known their story, one of the men wrote to person of repute in New York for advice. Tn this com munication the statement is unequivo- cal that Young took his own life.

FRANCE GETS CREDIT.

St Petersburg, Oct 31.-The Russian papers this morning, notably the Ga- zetta, give much credit to France for the favorable turn in the North Sea incident The paper says
 ITO French diplomacy belongs in a great measure the credit for the peace ful settlement, this beng the first happy consequence of the French Anglo understanding, enabling our ally to enjoy the confidence of both coun- tries. All sincere friends of peace must once more congratulate them selves on the benefit fconfeIred on the world by our beloved monarch in in itiatdng The Hague peace confer ence.''
 Some of the papers, however, con- tinue to display unrestrained bitter ness toward Great Britain. The Sviet, lanslavist, warns the Russian public not to be too sanguine of an amicable settlement, saying:
 "The reference of the matter to q commission leads people to suppose that the incident is closed, but a whole series of other events shows that the crisis is not ended. We must be ready for any eventuality.
 aTf8 conviction exists in France that Great Britain promised Japan to detain the Russian second Pacific squadron. which would explain the double dealings of the English govern. ment and press. Great Britain does not want war, as war would draw 1n France. but is relying on her naval strength to do all possible to embar- rass Russia produce a repetition of the Hull incident. sor, worse still, arrange a Japanese ambuscade which would make Russian naval victory impossi- ble. Altogether Great Britain's atti- tude bodes no good to Russia. Great Britain's chance to injure and humill- ate Russia was never so good as now
 Even Admiral Abaza, who is attached to Emperor Nicholas's military suite, is quoted as indulging slightly in yelled reflections on Great Britain, de claring that as Vice-Admiral Rojest- svensky had no torpedo boats with him it must have been Japanese torpedo boats which found shelter at thsS Eng < fish fishing ports. Tn any event, A toaza insists, Rojestvensky was Justified ifa taking every measure to protect his squadron costing $150, ,000,000
 The conviction on board the ships Of the Russian squadron that the Jap araese would make an attempt to de sfroy some of them is conclusiyely shown by letter just received here by an official and mailed at Copen- hagen in which the writer describes the precautions taken to protect the squadron from an attack on the par: of the Japanese. whose cunning makes them capable of anything, 7 For this reason, he says, the squadron passed through the great belt in day light with traWlers ahead to protect them from mines
