DEATH OF PIONEER
 BUSINESS MAN.
Word Reaches Newport of De- mise of Thomas J. Watson At New York Sanitarium
 Friday Afternoon.

Recent years have witnessed the removal of many of our pio- neer citizens and leading busi- ness men of this sections earlier development, for deaths sickle has been no respecter of persons. The activity and usefulness of former years has not counted in saying the inevitable end; the love and devotion of family and friends has not sufficed to bar the final conqueror of human man.
 In the death of Capt. Thomas J. Watson, the community which has been his home for the greater part of his life, feels deeply the loss of an estimable and public spirited citizen, and the friends and family of the deceased are bowed in sorrow over the calling of one they loved, and especially to that inner circle whose bonds of affection are tied closely by blood relationship, waxed strong by intimate acquaintanceship and daily contact in the home and about the freside, does the sym pathy of our people go out as a consolation in their hour of sor- row.
 Prepared as all were for the sad news, by reason of the poor health of the deceased for the past year, and his rapidly declin- ing condition for several months, the stroke is none the less se- were. Dr. Ebert Watson who, with his mother, have been min istering at his bedside in a New York sanitariurh, wired Friday afternoon of his fathers death at 1 p. m.
 The remains are expected to reach Newport Monday morning on one of the. early, trains, and the funeral will be from the Epis- copal church that afternoon, probably at 3 o'clock.
 Rev. Percy J. Robottom, an old friend of the deceased. will conduct the services, in which he will be assisted by the Masons, an order of which MT. Watson has long been an esteemed mem- Der.
 The pail bearers are Messrs. T. J. Graham, L. Minor, J. M. Stayton, w. A. Billingsley, L. M. Hoffman, Henry Owen, w. R. Thompson,, T. D. Kinman.
 In remembrance of the active part MT. Watson has taken in all matters of the city's welfare and upbuilding, and in recog- milton of these public spirited services and standing as a citi- zen, it has been very timely sug- gested that the business houses of the city be closed for the hour of the funeral Monday afternoon, and that the mayor issue a proc lamation to this effect.

The larger map, 17x24, gives county and town boundaries, steam railways and electric roads, distances between stations. and names of moun- tains, lakes, streams, etc. This map was made by a Chicago firm from a large map The second map, prepared under the direction of Secretary Vinal, especially for the register, shows the counties in colors, with the new sena- torial districts defined. At the bottom of the map are shown separately the districts in the cities of Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and Waterbury.

YALE APPOINTMENTS

After the Present Year There Will be no
 Valedictorian and Salutatorian.
 By vote of the Yale faculty there will be no appointments of valedictorian and salutatorian after the present year.
 Men receiving philosophical oratio.- appointments will have their names printedin the announcement programme in alphabetical order instead of in the order of their standing
 The change is in line with the present practice of other universities, and is due to the fact that under the elective system two men may go through college reciting to entirely different instructors and pursuing different courses of study so that a fine distinction between high stand men involves a considerable risk of injustice.

RUSSIA'S SAD WEEK.
100000 OF BAD LUCK STILL
PURSUES CZAR'S FORCES.
Disaster to Petropavlovsk Caused by a
Jap Countcrmine-Togo Lured Admir-
al MakaroH from Shelter by Tempt
ing Bait -Russians in n Panic.

The hoodoo OF bad luck still pursues
the Russians in their naval operations in
the East. Last week was n calamitous
one for them. The Port Arthur fleet,
which mt the beginning of the war con
sisted OF seven battleships and about the
same number Of cruisers, has been re-
duced to two unchanged battleships and
TO TWO or three cruisers. The persisten
hammerns of the japanese has so weak
ened Il that its only hope OF safety is to
remain IN the harbor, protected by the
guns Of the forts, and await the arrival
OF the Baltic fleet. That fleet, on which
the hopes Of the Russians are centered,
ought To be leaving soon for the Orient
The chimerical project of sending it by
way of the Arctic ocean hns not been en-
tertained. The vessels will pursue the
customary route.
When the Petropavlovsk was sunk by
Japanese countermine the Russians lost
the best battleship left to them after
the disabling of the Retviznn and Care
witch. They lost over 700 men, and
among them one who counted for more
than all the others--Admiral Makaroff.
Had he escaped he could not, even
though brave and skillful seaman. have
done anything with crippled feet.
On Friday Admiral Togo again bonn
barded Port Arthur. to what purpose is
unknown. Probably the Immensely
strong Notifications have not been dam
aged by his fire. On this occasion the
Russian fleet did not venture out into the
roadstead. as it has usually done After
the sinking of the Petropavlovsk and Il
torpedo boat and the injury received by
the Pobicda Wednesday. no more chances
will he taken. 1t is reported that Adj
miral Togo is still bent on blocking the
entrance to the harhor by sinking NOR

JAPS LURE TO DEATH.
Latest Disaster to Russian Warships
Is Fully Explained.

The Japanese are elated over the sue
cesses they have won mt Port Arthur.
They are also proud of the achievements
Of Vice Admiral Togo, particularly of
his newest strategy of countermining the
enemy's harbor and decoying him across
this field of mines to an equally danger
GUS flank attack.
The success of the system of placing
deadly counter-mines is due largely to a
series of careful observations made by
the Japanese during their previous at
tacks on Port Arthur The Japanese
saw the Russian fleet leave the harbor
and return to it several times, and they
followed an identical course every time
they came out or went in, evidently for
the purpose of avoiding their own mines.
The Japanese took bearings on this
course When the destroyer divisions
of the Japanese torpedo fotilla laid the
counter-mines during the night of April
1918 they placed them along this course.
The laying of these counter-mincs was
exceedingly perilous, because, If any Jap
anese boat with mines on board had been
struck by lucky Russian shot she would
have been annihilated.
The weather of the night of April II
13 favored tho work. There was heavy
rain. the night was dark and cloudy and
the Russian searchlights playing over
the channel failed to reveal the presence
of the japanese destroyers.
Rear Admiral Dewa was in command
of the Japanese squadron which decoyed
the Russian ships over the field of mines.
His squadron consisted of the cruisers
Chitose, Yoshino, Kasagi and Takasago,
all unarmored vessels, which presented
tempting bait for the heavier Russian
ships.
Vice Admiral Togo directed the flank
attack. He had the battleships Hatsuse.
Miknsa, Asuhi. Shikishima, Tashima and
Full. He waited thirty miles out at sea
until Rear Admiral Dewn signaled him
by wireless telegraphy to come in. His
vessels then dashed at full speed toward
the entrance OF the harbor. All the bat
tleshps under Vice Admiral Togo are
capable of speed of eighteen knots and
they quickly covered the distance.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1904-04-22

1t is not clear what warned the Rus
slams that they had been trapped, but
:hey probably discerned the hattleship
squadron on the horizon and retreated
precipitately to the harbor. Vice Ad-
mira Togo did not succeed iii preventing
the Russians from entering, but did force
them to disastrous retreat, which end
ed in the destruction of the Petropav-
lovsk and the disabling OF the Poheda.
After these occurrences the cruisers
Nishin and Kasuga were used to bonn
bard Port Arthur. They possess the
highest auSled guns in the fleet. capable
of throwing shells to the elevated Rus
sian land works, which are beyond at
tainment by the average naval weapon.
Expressions of regret ut the death
OF Vice Admiral Makaroff are general in
Toxic Speaking for the naval staff,
Commander Ogasawara was published
lengthy statement in which he laments
the death of the Russian vice admiral
and pronounees It to be a loss to the
nuvics of the world. Commander Oga-
Sawara reviews the life, professional ca
recr and the personal attributes of Vice
Admiral Makaroff and declares that he
is cutitled to be claSsed with the best
admirnls in the world.
The koryu Maru, which participated
in the latest attack on Port Arthur, is Il
torpedo depot-ship. under the command
OF Commander Oda. Oda is a mine ex-
pert and the success of the Japanese
counter mining operations was due large
" TO his ingenuity and bravery.
