The Associated Press learns that tha

There Is talk Of modification OF Nls.

house Of lords and that the foreign
secretary explained he had no intention
of unnecessarily offending the RussiaTs
government, but the intensity Of f.feel-

and it is believed the Russians will
profit by it.

Toxic, Aug. 4.-The Japanese are
hourly awaiting tidings of victory at
Port Arthur with more interest and
eagerness than heretofore displayed
during the war.

y fast approaching. But the public

assault win be made and also of the
details OF the work already done around
Port Arthur. 1t is believed the fire
from the Japanese batteries will compel
the Russian fleet to leave the harbor
and accept battle from Togo. 1t is
becoming proyerbial that the japanese.

WILLIAM H. WORTLEY
Seized With Cramps and Drowned in
 Chestnut Hill Reservoir.

Chestnut Hill reservoir was the scene of a sad drowning accident yes terday, when William Fl. Wortley of 146 Hill street, a mason, about 46 years of age, was seized with cramps while swimming and sank out of sight before his companions could reach him. With a few friends MT Wortley took a walk into the country and kept going until they finally reached the reservoir, where they concluded to have bath. They had been in some time when Wort1ey, who was some distance from the rest, was heard to shout, and look ing in the direction of the noise they saw him struggling in the water and hurried to the rescue, but before they got to the spot he had disappeared and all efforts to locate him proved of no avail until grappling irons were pro- cured, when the body was found and taken to the bank, where Medical Elk aminer Crane viewed the remains and gave permission for burial
 The deceased lived with his sister, Mrs Frederick Davis of Hill street. Be sides Mrs Davis he leaves a daughter. Annie Wortley. and a brother, James. He was an ex-member of Company 6 and had a wide circle of friends. The funeral will take place tomorrow af- ternoon at 2 o'clock with service at the house by the Rev F. T. Buckley of Trinity church.

CARS ON BALDWIN
 STREET TROLLEY LINE

A car was run over the Baldwin street line this afternoon. and 1t moved like clockwork. Some day this week the regular schedule will be introduced between Exchange place and Washing ton street. This is a very opportune time to warn people to keep their chil- 1ren off the main street from now on. If the youngsters are allowed to romp about on Baldwin street after the troll ley gets started there as they have aI- ways done 1t will not be long before some of the little ones will be crushed to death, and then somebody will wish an electric car had never entered that district. There are more children on that thoroughfare than on all the rest of the streets where the trolley oper- ates in Waterbury, and it is high time the youngsters were warned Of the danger, and if the older ones fail to impress upon their minds the necessity of giving the trolley lots of room they will have nobody but themselves to blame.
 The number of the car was So It was manned by Motorman Faber and Conductor Brodie. Roadmaster Stark, Assistant Superintendent Bookings and Thomas Shields, who had charge of the men who did the actua work, were on board. The car did not go beyond the bridge over the Mad river.

HE HELD A LIVE WIRE.
Hartford Han said to Have Received
 Shock of 2,4OO Volts.

Hartford. June 2O.-William A. Gormley, who is employed at a black smith at the factory of the Electric Vehicle Go, met with painful acci- dent at Capitol park Saturday even- ing. He was accompanied by a friend, who is also an employe of the Electric Vehicle Go. The two men had stro1led down to the east side of the park in the latter, part of the even ing. As they were returning towards the entrance they heard the music start up in the open-a1r theater. MT GormIey said that they were Just about to start for home, and as 1t was late, they did not care to go into the theater. As they were passing the place on the way out, they thought they would climb up the side of the stage building and see what was going on. This they proceeded to do, catching hold of some wires which were hanging apparently unconnected from the side of the building. They stayed up on the side of the building watching the show for a few minutes, and then Gormley'g companion got down.
 Gormley was about to follow him when he felt a powerful electric shock passing through his body, and smeH the flesh of his hands burning. Then he says he lost consciousness. Gormley's companion, seeing what had happened, got piece of plank and endeavored to detach Gormley from the wires. Meantime, F. F. Bel mont, manager Of the park, had mo- ticed a peculiar flash of the lights and immediately went in back of the thea ater to see what was the matter. See ing Gormley's body suspended from the wires. he seized hold of his cloth ing and pulled him down. The wires carried current Of 2,4o0 volts.
