Imperialism is hurtful and ab- horent in a free government and sub versiye of free institutions. The policy of imperialiism-if it can be said to have a policy-is always dangerous to liberty. It's powers are first exercised in far off territory and or conquered
 people, but once adopted fo acquired and distant possessions, it becomes, sooner or later, the rule of the home
 government. Liberty and free govern ment have always been secured at the cost Of great sacrifices, but history teaches us that both can be easily lost without the knowledge of the people.
 Ex-Senator Davis in the closing pages of his letter speaks of the tariff, the trusts and local self-government. He. regrets the rehabilitation by the re- publican party of the race question, and after speaking of fraud in the pub lie service and violations of the civil service laws by administration officers closes with tribute to Judge Parker.

NED SEEMED AT HAND
 BUT PAYNE RALLIED.
HEART ACTION HARDLY DIS
 oERNIBLE AT ONE PERIOD.

Several Times the Pulse So Weak That
 Even the Physicians Thought the
 Postmaster General Was Passing
 Away-FamiIy ct One Time Sum-
 mOncd to His Bedside--A Remarkable
 Change.
 Washington. Oct. 2.-After day filled with strong hopes alternating with the graVest fears of almost immediate dis solution, Postmaster General Payne's condition late tonight was declared by his physicians to be decidedly more en- couraging, but they are unwilling to hazard an opinion as to the future In the early hours his heart action became decidedly weaker with resultant feeble ness of pulse and unconsciousness. At times he suffered intense pain, and once or twice he cried out at his agony These paroxysms were followed by peril eds of exhaustion with brief intervals of comparative freedom from pain, but the heart action continued to give the physicians the greatest concern. Sew eral times during the day the pulse be- came so feeble that it seemed it must cease altogether and at one time the physicians said that the postmaster general was as near death as few ever get and survive the day. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the doctors fully believed that the end was at hand and the fam fly, who were at dinner, were summons ed. By Mrs. Payne's direction Rev. Dr. Cotton Smith, the rector of St. Johns Episcopal church, where the family worship, and on his arrival those at the stricken mans bedside joined in prayer But again his marvellous re- cooperative powers asserted themselves and won another victory.
 Slowly but very perceptibly change for the better took place, and at 4:30 o'clock more hopeful bulletin was is- sued.
 This was followed at 6:45 o'clock by far the best news of the day. Miss Jones, a niece of MT. Payne, came from the sick room and with beaning face told of wonderful change for the bet ter.
 s oVillS ftAAilC bClpl . llct IlOuTs Sll5 5dlub the postmaster general had regained complete consciousness, had recognized those about him, and seemed almost like himself again. He had even asked for food and milk and when the latter was brought he drank from glass he himself held. One of the physicians said the improvement was almost niracu- tlous.
 Major w. s. Cameron of Jamestown, 1 N, Y, a brother-in-law of the postmas- ter general, and Charles L. Jones, a nephw of Mrs. Payne. arrived during the day and have been in constant at tendance at the bedside
 1 A large number of publi cofffcials and private citizens called in person to ask about Mrs. Payne's condition, and tel egrams of inquiry continued to pour in from outside points, notably from Wis consin.

IN OLD TRINITY
Archbishop of Canterbury Trenches in
 New York Edlace.

New York, oct. 2.-Trinity church, rich in historical associations and one of the landmarks of New York, added an event of interest to its chronicles to-. day when His Grace, the archbishop of Canterbury, the highest dignitary in the church of Great Britain preached within it's walls. The edifce in conse- quence was janmed, a great crowd having gathered before it in the chilly air long before even the gates were opened. Thousands were turned away.

LITTLE TOWN ELECTIONS.
TO BE HELD TO-DAY THROUGH
 OUT THE STATE.

Unusual Interest Owing to Presidential
 Year-License Question strong in
 Several Towns-This Particularly So
 in LitchiieId Where Four Bodies of
 No-Licensc People Have Been work
 ins-Three City Elections.
 Throughout Connecticut to-morrow will be held the little town" elections, in which also will join for their annual elections the cities of New London and South NorWalk and Norwalk, the last two being in the single town of Nor walk. In this, the presidential year, the interest in the outcome is greater than usual at party headquarters and less in the towns themselves. To the voters in fully seven-eighths of the towns there are no contests on political lines which are important enough to bring them out to man, a marked difference from last year, while in the remaining eighth of the towns the chief agitation is over the question of licensing the sale of in- toxicating liquors. At the headquarters of the republican and democratic state committees the interest is purely self ish one, and relates to it's bearing on the campaign between now and the No- vember election. The explanation is giv- en that if the vote in the town elec- tions is heavy there will be less need of doing missionary work to arouse the voters to the importance of voting for a president. If the towns should show a light vote and many changes in the political complexion 1t will mean that party leaders must bestir themselves to get out the voters. It has been an- nounced that campaigning would not begin in general way in Connecticut until after the town elections and to- n1ooroW's results will forecast the fer vency of political activity until No- vember 3. Conservative politicians dis claim belief in anything that gives to town elections more than a local signifi- canoe. In past years partisan contests were oftentimes bitterly waged against a whole ticket, but of late years the tendency has been to make less changes in town officers, and conflicts with the UdlluIs 1ldNt uSudliy Ue6u ulT6CIeu against individuals rather than against party.
 In several towns the crusade against license and in opposition to returning to license where at present the town Is no license, has been remarkably strong. This is particularly So at Litchield, where four bodies of no license workers have been doing their utmost to keep l the town in the no license column. The recent seiure of liquors in hotels at cer- i tain places there, and convictions of persons identified with the seized con 1 i=fiscated goods have been incidents add- ing to the warmth of the campaign. It I is said in Litchfleld that the presidential election has been lost sight of In the Interest over the no license question. In the three city elections Norwalk and South Norwalk will vote for may i or besides complete city ticket, while at New London the nlayoralty is not at stake this year. Mayor Bryan F. Ma han remaining in calm possession while the contest wages for number of less 1 CT offices.

NAVK OFFICIALS ARoUsED.
Attempt to wreck the Connecticut q
 DastardIy One.

Is
 Washington. Oct. 2.-The navy de- partment officials are thoroughly arous- ed over the discovery of the latest at tempt to injure the new battleship Con- necticut, launched at the New York navy yard last Thursday, by the punch- ing or boring of a hole in her side below the waterline. Thus far only unofficial reports of the matter have reached the department, where it is confidently hoped that rigid Investigation now being conducted by the commandant of the New York yard into the work of those who are implicated in the affair will lead to the apprehension of the guilty persons The naval officials here are unable to ascribe a motive, unless it was one pure mischief. It is stated here that the injury to the ship is not lat all serious and the repairs can be made quickly.
 Acting Secretary Darling in discuss ing the matter tonight expressed great indignation over the rereated efforts that have been made to injure the ves- sel. This last effort he particularly characterized as dastardly one, and the perpetrator of the outrage, if ap- prehended, he said, deserved severe punishment.

 Rev. l.. O. Trigame, injuries to head and face; Rev. L. T. Rodier, contu- sions; Rev. M. F. Kopytkiewicz, legs injured, contusions of forehead: Mrs. Michael McAndres, leg fractured; Rt. Rev. Thomas D. Beaven, bruiaed slightly about hands and body: Alex ander Lestock. injuries about the head; Stanislaus Lestock, aged 3, ear lacer- ated. Several others were slightly hurt.
 Some 1000 persons attended the cer- emony and about 200 were seated or standing on the floor which covered the newly made basement. Bishop Beayen was attended by Rev. T. H. McLaugh- lin of St. Thomas church, Adams, and Rev. l. O. Triggane, pastor of Notre Dame church Adams, as deacons; Rev James ". Dolan of St. Thomas parish, Rev. |. T. Roder of Notre Dame church, Rev. M. F. Kopytlxiewicz, pas tor of St. Stanislaus church, and others were near the bishop.
 Just as the latter was about to lay the stone section of the flooring. about forty feet square, collapsed, dropping twelve feet and carrying with 1t the bishop the clergy and about 14O others.
 In the confusion that followed many were unayoidably trampled upon and half suffocated
 Bishop Beaven was caught in the crush but was able to save himself from serious injury. He was bruised about the body and had his hands scratched.
 Father Triggane had his nose crush~ led sustained cuts on the cheeks and forehead and was injured in an eye. Fathers Mclaughlin and Dolan were beside the bishop but escaped injury. l The pastor of the church was quite severely bruised and cut.
 | A number of police officers and score of doctors were present and lwithin twenty minutes all the injured had been extricated and cared for
 The most serious case appeared to be that of Grodek Mischlosl1i, Polish boy, who was caught under many oth- CTS. He was unconscious when extri- cated, having been nearly suffocated. Both of his legs were injured and there was evidence of internal injuries. One of the clergy administer the last rites to him, but later he was able to l be removed to his home.
 The accident was caused by the spreading of a heavy wooden girder which had been spliced. A quantity of stone, to be used in the building work, rested on the floor and this additional weight contribuated to the accident.
 The ceremony of lawing the corner- stone was indefinitely postponed.

NO BULLET PRooF BREASTS.
ItaIian Inventor Prevented from Aiding
 Russia in Manufacture.

Rome, Oct. 2.some time ago the Russian government ordered 100000 bull ct proof breast plates of the type in- vented by signor Benedetti. The latter recently started for St. Petersburg to supervise the manufacture of the breast plates, but was stopped at Munich by the Italian firm to which he had sold the rights to manufacture and which objected to Signor Benedetti,s interven- tion in the matter and he returned to Italy. The firm had also undertaken to supply the Japanese government 200, 900 breast, plates. Now that the Russian contract has been broken it seems that Japan wishes to back out of it's engag- ment, proposing to pay the losses sus- tained by the firm through the abroga- tion of the contract.
