Davis Decree Will Ruin
Thei1. Trade,

Panama, July 14.-The II people Of
the republic of Panama ;ir'e aroused
because Of Governor Davisf decree es-
tablishing custom-housie in the
canal zone.
The principal merchants Of
Panama and Colon, Assem- Goled in the
Commercial club to discusss the situa-
tablishment of customs hon ses in such
form means the ruin Of the commerce
of Panama and Colon and conse-
quently OF the republic.
The canal commissioner and off,
GERS of the government believe the
situation will be extreme ly serious
unless the decree be revoked.
The Chamber Of Comme rec has APP
pointed a committee to communicate
with the government. Tine chamber
considers the application lof the Ding
ley tariff act not only de trimental to
the interests of commerce and Of the
government, but against the spirit of
the canal treaty.
The newspapers have started a
campaign against the plan.

went out Saturday and dismantled
their siege batteries.
Some of the forts at Port Arthur
are protected by bitches four and five
fathoms deep, hewn out Of the solid
rock. Whole regiments could easily
be engulfed in these chasms.
Fighting at Ta-tche- ldao
is not improbable that fighting is
now progressing at Ia tche-kiao, as
Russian advices show that the Japan
csc were within a few miles Of that
place, coming UP in two columns from
the south on each side of the railroad
and in two columns from the east on
the Siu-yen roads.
The extent of the Russian resis-
tance will probably be determined by
the character of General Kuroki' 8
and General Nodzu's advances on Hail
cheng. A large force of japanese
within striking distance of Hai-cheng
would render it impossible for the
Russian commander-in-ch to re-
main at Ta-tche-kiao, in which event
there will be a fight at Hai-cheng, the
result of which will be much more i'm
portant than the recent engagement
at Kali chou.
The general staff denies that the
Russians We're driven out Of their en-
trenchments at Sikseyan, or that Sc
we're fighting occurred at that place.
General Sakharoff reports that
Japanese cavalry advancing July IL
toward Niu-chuang encountered Rus
sian cavalry and that a slight skirmish
followed.
There is now good reason to believe
that the report of a Japanese disaster
before Port Arthur came from the
Russian consul at Chi-fu. Arrange
ments have almost been completed

ELKINS PRAISES
HENRY G. DAVIS
Son-in-law of Democratic Nom
inee Says Republicans sWill
Not Be Beguiled.

Wheeling, W. Va, July 14.-The
state convention last night
nominated William O. Dawson for
governor, after some lively skirmish-
ing on the part of the opposing Teeter
faction. The convention was a notable
one for the fact that the temporary
chairman was Stephen B. Elkins, a
son-in-law of Henry G: Davis the
democratic nominee for7vice president.
The senator made an extended
speech, during which he referred to
the nomination of his father-in-laW
in the following words:
"The democratic party in its desire
to capture the state has nominated for
vice president one Of Oz1r most distin-
guished citizens and the foremost
democrat in the state, but in this, as
in most everything else, the democrats
made a mistake. - -..
Senator Davis, to whom I am SO
nearly related, and for whom I cherish
feelings Of the highest regard ad-
miratiOn, and affection, is a man Of
affairs and AN experienced statesman
having served his state creditably In
the senate for twelve years. With
these qualifications and this fitness he
should have been named for the first
place instead of a. man without rec
ord and without business or politica
experience.
"West Virginia cannot be beguild
into giving up protection and sound
money to make Judge Parker presi-
dent, even if by so doing they make
Senator Davis vice president.
II have no doub; as to republican
success in November. There is no gooc
reason why any republican should
change his vote on state and nationa
issues, but many and Weighty reasons
why he should not"

STRIKE COSTLY TO RAILROADS
Fresh-NIeat Shipments Worth $40, 900
Daily to Chicago Lines.

Chicago, July 14.-F'rom a financial
viewpoint, probably no one outside
interest is more seriously affected by
the stockyards strike than the rail-
roads, particularly the lines operat-
ing east from Chicago. Fresh meat
is one of the heavy articles Of ship
ment east from here, and it takes a
higher rate than almost any other class
Of freight. An average Of 200 carloads
of fresh meat is shipped from Chi
cago to eastern points and for ex-
port every day. The remuneration
to the railroads averages 500 a car,
the rate being As cents hundred
pounds. The business is pretty even
ly divided among the ten competing
lines and amounts to $4,000 a. day
to the ten railroads. Officers Of the
east-bound roads say that there has
been a material falling off in meat
shipments.
Beyond a distance of 200 miles
there is not much fresh meat shipped
west from Chicago, the western mar
kets being supplied by the Missouri
river packinghouses.

INFORMATION FOR THE
 LIBRARY PATRONS

The JanuaEy number of the Bulletin of the Silas Bronson library of this city contains a lot of valuable in- formation for patrons of the instftu- tion not the least of which are the fol lowing hints;
 Greater quiet in the library is much desired, especially in the main halls and on the stairs. Will those who frequent the library aid us in se- curing it ? This is one of the places where silence is golden, and noise in- tolerable. The library is not the place for social conversation. And again: ''ln looking up subjects on the card catalogue, remember that the subjects are specific; c. g., if a book deals with the horse it is catalogued under horse, not animals, or zoology; while a book on zoology is so catalogued, and not under the names of each of the an- lmals treated. Any further informa- tion will be gladly furnished by the library staff"

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Case Against Transient Dealer Cone
 tinued Until Tomorrow.

The case against I. Irving Lipsitch, who was arrested a few days ago at the instance of the Business Men's as- Sociation for violation Of the itinelnns vendor law, was heard by Judge Burs pee in the city court to-day. Attorney Guilfoile defended and Attorney Cassl, dy prosecuted. Detective Dodds testi- lied that the accused opened q fun store at 13 South Main street one day last week, that he asked him how long he intended remaining, and he replied that he could not tell. When he was taken into custody the accused said the goods belonged to his uncle, Isaac Litpsitch, proprietor of the Connecticut Credit Clothing O. 143 South Main street
 Samuel Weinstein, 66 South Main street, testified to buying some furs from the accused.
 This closed the case for the state and Attorney Guilfoile moved for a dis> charge.
 The court seemed inclined to grant the motion and asked Attorney Cassidy if he could say how long he would re main in Waterbury practicing law. Detective Dodds was put on again ana hls evidence turned the case. It was that the accused was not in business Saturday. This made prima facia case and the motion for discharge was refused.
 Mrs F.. I. Weller testified to renting the store to the accused in the name O. the Connecticut Credit Clothing Co after which the accused went on the stand.
 He testified that he is law student, living in New York, where his father is g wholesale furrier. That he came to town last Wednesday to sell goods for his father. That, in fact, he did sell some goods, and the remainder he sold to his uncle here, and then he engaged the store for his uncle and helped him dispose of the goods. This closed the case
 Attorney Guilfoile held there was no violation of the law under which the case was brought, because if there was, he asked, what would happen local storekeepers and people who ally themselves with them for . time and then disappear? It was not very long ago, he remarked, that he saw dis- play of diamonds by New York par. ties in n local store. Local parties linked themselves temporarily to such people for the sake of advertising. At torney Cassidy agreed that local par ties can do this, but outsiders cannot. The idea of a man selling goods here and then going into direct competition with those whom he sold to was sllp< ply ridiculous.
 Without making any comment the court continued. the case to tomorrow morning.
 A case against John Long for as- sault upon one Richard O'BIien was nolled. The assault took place a year ago and O'Brien did not care to prose cute now.
 A case against Joseph Huey for re, fusing to have his measures tested was continued to tomorrow morning. Huey is a milk peddler in the employ of O.. B. Mattoon of Watertown.

MANY CHARGES AGAINST TALBOT

New York Lawyer BrIeAy Outlines
 Case of Pennsylvania HiShOP.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-In state ment last night Herbert Noble, law, yer of this city. representing the pre- senters in the. charges recently made against Bishop Talbot of the central diocese of the Episcopal church, In Pennsylvania, briefly outlined what those who will appear against the bish. op will take up. The presenters Mr. Noble will not name except to say Dr. Irvine is not one, and he also declines to give out the text of the present. ment but his statement says that the presentment has its foundation in let ter said to have been written by Bishop Talbot to Rev. Samuel Upjohn, when the latter was president of the Phila- delphia Catholic club in 1902.
 "The presentment Is based on this letter." says MT. Noble. Tt is in the hands of the Rev. w B. Bodlne, D. D., of Philadelphia. It charges Bishop Tal- bot with: "A criminal libel: immoral- ity, to wit, false statements;' the circu- lation of false, malicious and defama- tory report 'falsifying;' breach Of or dination and consecration vows and conduct unbecOming a bishop"
 It Is maintained that Bishop Talbot conspfred with Mrs. Emma o. Elliot of Huntington, Pa, to injure the Rev MT. Irvine; that he sent defamatory letter making groundless charges of gross immortality against the clergy man and dispatched duplicate of the same message after an interval of two years.

ON CHRISTMAS EVE.
A Local Incident of Mingled Joyfuls ness and Pathes on a Trolley Car.

When the car started from the end of the line there were only three pas sengers-the little brewery collector, the big brewery collector, and the sflll bigger policeman As the car proceeded along toward the center, however, 1t began to fill rapidly
 Everybody appeared happy. The passengers came in smiling, looked at everybody else with smile, and sat down and swapped smiles. If you asked any one of them what he or she was smiling at you would get no satisfactory explanation. Good na- ture and happiness were in the air. that's why. For it was Christmas eve.
 The car stopped near the bridge to let on woman dressed In black and a small boy of about three years. He wore white Tam OiShanter pink cheeks and jet black eyes. He was handsome youngster and everybody in the car immediately beamed upon him.
 What are you going to get for Christmas?" the little brewery collec- tor leaned across the aisle and asked. "Huhe' Santa Claus is going to bring em to me-" replied the boy with en- thusiasm. Everybody laughed mcr- rily and the boy had the center of the stage.
 Bet he gets g sled and a pair of skates" the big collector remarked knowingly, but the boy only smiled and appeared reticent about disclos- ing what he counted on.
 Hope neither of you fellows got skates sung out the policeman to the two collectors, and then everybody laughed again. Even the boy seemed pleased with the pun
 Then for the first time the boys companion spoke. '.It's q sad Christ mas for the poor lad,'' she said. sHis father was taken away to the hospital this afternoon" And then she burst into tears.
 Somebody once said that if you laughed the world laughed with you, but if you wept you cried alone. Tisn't so. There wasn't dry eye in that car. And everybody seemed at once to take especial interest in the over- head signs which lined the car.
 Tough, isn't it?' the big collector remarked to his two neighbors. s'You bet, answered the little collector, "but it's good the little fellow isn't old enodgh to realize it.''
 A minute afterward the little lad. was drawn across the aisle and seated between the collectors. He, only stayed minute, however. and reluc- tantly took the silver pieces slipped into his hands. T got money of my own," he said. shaking some coins in the end of his u1itten
 Then the car bowled into the center and all got out and went their raspec- tive ways. And joy seemed written on all sides.
