Seminary Items

A large number Of students were
present at the concert on Saturday
night and they all agree that it was
treat along musical lines. Although
some OF the patriotic songs on the
program we're comparatively new to
them, nevertheless, the music itself,
the mighty power of the Scandinavian
musical compositions appealed to
them all.
The Juniors have resolved with
great majority to discontinue their
meetings until more favorable weather
presents itself. 1t was found next to
impossible to get the members out of
their coy studios in cold dreary win
ter evenings and as the weather was
unwilling to repent and come to time,
the Juniors resolved to spite the
weather by retreating into obscurity
until spring with it's moonlight even
ings comes.
The Seniors held q very spirited
meeting Monday night. Some important
business WAS transacted after which q
program, mostly musical but some
what orstoricsl, was given. It is to
be hoped that these meetings will not
be 20 few and far between in the future as
they have been in the past. We have
the members, We have the talents. We
have everything necessary for being
q mutual inspiration to each other il
we but only give it an opportunity Of
developing and showing itself.
On Saturday evening the "Osseo'
society will give it's anniversary enter.

at the entertainment. The program

HELD FOR RANSOM.
Child of a Wealthy Italian Captured
 by Sicilians.

New York, Aug 11.--Antonio Man nino, 9 years old. the only child Of q rich Italian contractor living in Brooklyn, has been kidnapped evident ly by. gang of Sicilians, who are holding him for ransom. Angelo Cucoza, .16 years old. who is said to have done the actual work of spirit ing the boy away, is under arrest. After much questioning, he admitted decoying the child to New York on the pretext of acting as an fnterpre- ter. He said they were met by some men, ordered to board street car and rode to a tenement house where Oucozza demanded his pay. The men kicked him out and kept Antonio.
 Cucozza who worked for the Man ninos short time, said he could find the tenement and, accompanied by several policemen, he walked all over the lower end of Manhattan. Final ly, he picked out the building, but no such persons as he described were to be found within and evidently the lad never had seen the building before He has told the police nuraber of similar tales, none of which afforded clue to the missing child.
 A letter ScraWled in rude Italian has reached the elder Manninos warning him to keep away from the police and stating that his son is all right. Scores of Italian business men in Manhattan and Brooklyn recently have been receiving threatening let. ters and demands for large sums. Alp parently the missives emanate from an organized band of blackmailers who thus far have escaped detection.

New Haven, Aug 1.-The eight Waterbury boys who were placed in the New Haven county jail on No vember 30 last. under court sen tence of il months for conspiracy in connection with the .Faber switch as- sault case, an incident of the great trolley strike in Waterbury little ov- CT year ago, will be given their liberty during the day. Their names are Michael Ryan, James Quinn, Thomas Quinn, William Costello. Charles Thorpe, Joseph Kelly, Thom- as Kinney and Stephen Ball.
 The boys get their freedom at this time through mitigation of sentence due to good behavior, as all have con ducted themselves excellently since commfttal.
 Willis ID. Vandemark, one of the strikers who was convicted of com plicfty in the strike is now in Weth- ersf1eld, and his appeal on questions of law raised during his trial is ex- Dected to be the subject of decision from the supreme court tomorrow. Vandemarks appeal did not act as a stay of sentence, but his attorneys are expectant of favorable decision from the supreme court through this to secure his release from prison.

REFbGEE FROM FORTRESS.

Maoyang, Aug 11.-A refugee from Port Arthur who has just arrived here says that the defenders of the fortress remain all day at their posts in spite of the dreadful heat. The women heroically carry water to the parched warriors. Sometimes the whole fort ress seems enveloped in smoke by the continuous shell explosions. 1t was d memorable sight from Wolf hill when the Japanese first attacked the fortress on July 9. The onslaught was so desperate that it almost merged on frenzy. It was said that Field Marshal Oyama commanded the Jap anese forces in person and the sev- eral princes of the blood and veteran generals led ill the attack

The pursuit lasted two hours and a half. The hospital ship Mongolia, car. rying women and children, is said to have accompanied the feet
 The refugees from Port Arthur state that during the last five days Japanese shells from WoIfs hill have been drop ping into the town, causing much dam- age Several civilians have been hurt One shell hit an oil store house under Golden hill. Five hundred sail, ors vainly attempted to extinguish the fire it caused.

NOT SURE OF TT.

Vladivostok, Aug 11.-Preparations are. being completed here for the re- ception and protection of the Port Ar Fhur squadron. The departure Of the squadron from Port Arthur is gener- ally interpreted to indicate that the siege of the fortress is entering on it's final stage, as the program has re- lpeatedly been announced by the As- lsociated Press for the squadron to leave as soon as the situation at Port Arthur became desperate. The pre- servation of the squadron is consid- cred to be vital to Russia's future plans. and while it is acknowledged that its departure will greatly weaken the defensive powers of the garrison, without the capture of the squadron the fall of the fortress would be robbed of much of its strategic impor> ] tance. The smaller ships probably were left behind on account of their slow speed and inadequate fighting power, while the torpedo boat de- stroyers would constitute constant menace to the Japanese fleet outside.
 Definite news of the result of the reported battle outside Port Arthur is awaited here with feverish anxiety. Even if the squadron succeeded in getting through the Japanese ships 1t is realized that 1t runs desperate risk In trying to reach Nladlvostok, as s.Adniral Togo's fleet is larger. of su- peTior strength and faster than the Russian squadron. Besides the straits of Korea are understood to be mined and the squadron probably will be compelled to take the longer route around Japan
 It is believed that the purpose of the Russian torpedo boat destroyer RetshitelnY in going to Chefoo was to notify Admiral Skrydloff Of the sortie Of the Port Arthur squadron, ill order -that he may dispatch tue Fiadivostok squadron to meet the squadron from Port Arthur. Advices from Admiral .Avellan indicate that 1t will consist Of the battleships Retvizan, Pobieda, Peresviet. Sevastopol, Czarevitch and POltava the armored cruiser Bayan and the protected cruisers Pallada, Diana and Askold. Satisfaction is expressed at this indication that the Bayan, which was slightly damaged. has been successfully repaired. The protected cruiser Novik was probably left at Port Arthur. The Port Arthur squadron is under the command of Rear Admiral Withoft The report that Vice Admiral Bezobrazoff had taken over the command of that squadron is untrue. He Is now i'll at Vladivostok.
 As the speed of a squadron Is not faster than that of the lowest unit, which is the Poltava, which could not at her best make over sixteen knots. that speed is the estimated rate of steaming of the Port Arthur squadron, whereas the Japanese battleships have eighteen knots speed. Both squad rons, however, have probably greatly deteriorated In speed.

CERvERA's DASH RECALLED.

London, Aug Ii afternoon newspapers here to-day, while admit ting that the result of the engage ment off Port Arthur is not clear, generally interpret the conflicting re- ports from Tokio and Chefoo as mean ing that the bulk Of the Russian squadron at Port Arthur made sor- tie in the hope of escaping, but that only the torpedo boat. destroyer Retshitelny, which reached Chefoo succeeded in getting away andathat the Retshitelny believed, as indicated by the statements of her captain, that the rest of the squadron would be equally successful.
 The papers recall Admiral Ger vera's dash from Santiago, followed by the speedy surrender of the town, and consider that the sortie from Port Arthur indicates the impending fall of the fortress.

NO PEACE POSSIBLE.
President Donnelly Says 1t Is the Be-

Chicago, Aug 11.-President Mi chael Donnelly of the Butchers union to-day said he had little faith in peace negotiations to settle the packing house strike.
 Ut looks to me as though this is only the beginning of the fight" he said. II will not stand now for the first agreement. The matter is now beyond me. The allied trades confer ,ence board will have to approve of any terms offered. I do not think the packers will agree to terms that I would insist upon now, and of course the strike cannot be settled unless terms are satisfactory to all the un- ions in the allied trades. !"

NO WATER SUPPLY.
Westport Has Her First Fire With
 No Water to Fight 1t.

Westport. Aug 11.-During the heavy storm which passed over this place early to-day, lightning struck and entirely destroyed the large barn owned by William Draves. A large amount of hay, two horses and other live stock were lost in the fire. The loss is estimated at $2,000, with no in- surance,
 Following immediately after the shutting off by the Westport Water Go of all the public water supply, this fire created considerable excitement. The two old hand engines, the only fire fighting apparatus now in pos session of the town, were so far from the scene of the flames that it was thought useless to take them out and the barn burned without any attempt being made to save it.
