POLITICAL POINTERS.
Local Republicans do Not Like New Britain's Move
 Lining up for Republican Primaries of the Factions

independent republican committee, urging all to attend the republican caucuses and down the ring. 1t claims that a small faction has got control ol the politics of the first, second and third wards and are running things in a domineering, arbitrary way, and must be driven out
 Republicans of the first ward will hold their caucus in City hall to-mor- row night. The exercises will open at 7:3O o'clock. A battle royal is looked for. It has been announced that the regulars will arrest anybody suspected of being a democrat who tries to take a hand in the tug of war. This amuses the independents, whose lead CTS quote the law in support of their contention that any eleetor whose name Is on the first ward primary list has a right to cast his ballot for or against the machine.
 'I don't know whether we are regu- lar or not,'' said a third ward republi- can to a reporter to-day, but we're regular enough to stop Judge Peasley and Ben Kelsey from putting a ticket in the field against us. I suppose you

It was an order he received, and Pm glad to see that he was wise enough to heed the warming" The whip is being used with tremendous effect in all the wards thds time and anybody who comes under the lash will feel the eff fleets of 1t as long as he lives. Boys, be careful and make good job of it. Unless you smash the machine into smithereens and route the operators horse and foot you had better pick up your traps and skip.
 Republicans who have grown tired of wearing the collar of the machine will meet tonight in Turn hall ,Jeffer- son street, and declare themselves free. They claim that public interests demand that the management of the party be placed in new hands and hope that honest democrats will render such assistance as ldes in their power to bring about this most desirable re- suit. nhds is a peculiar move and many are curious to know what 1t will amount to. It has the backing o1 some very influential republicans, whc claim that they have no axes to grind One of them said to-day that 1t was g deMcate thing for a republican to take stand against the party machine, but he had come to the conclusion that ! something is not done to save the party from itself people will soon have tc look to the democrats for redress anG number of Simon pure republicans had made up their minds to make onf bold stand for reform in their owI ranks.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-08-29

Some of the local republicans are very much annoyed over the move ment for the employment of none but people who speak the English lan- guage in the factories, and think that the question is likely to result in leg islation at the coming session of the general assembly, which will put that kind of business under the same head ing as boycotting While 1t has many good features which even politicians appreciate, still they fear that 1t would lead to serious results in other ways. They claim that it would keep non- English speaking races out of Connecticut and under this order of things the state would be democratic inside Of five years. This of itself re. pubEcans consider sufficient reason for some action to head off the movement. Others think that 1t is nothing the state has anything to do with and take the ground that employers have right to hdre such help as they please If they can get it.
 The town committee will meet to night in the registrars office to con slider the protest of electors of the first ward regarding the result Of the primary held in that district last Friday. ..
 The third ward republican club will give smoker in their rooms tonight in the Jones, Morgan x Co.'S block, Bank street. All republicans of the ward are cordially invited to attend whether they belong to the club or not.
 The first republican, rally of the campaign in Hartford will be held September or g, which of these two days it will be is not yet determined. Senator Fairbanks, the republican candidate for the vice presidency, will be the speaker.
 James M. Sullivan of New Haven, formerly newspaper reporter at Wa l terbury, Hartford, Rockville and else where and later democratic stump 1 speaker. was candidate for the denl- ocratic nomination for state senator 1 in New Haven in the seventh district, and has been knocked out by J. E. Shanley in a vote of 11o to 5S.
 Many of the friends of Patrick M. Cronan of the third ward have urged him to become nominee for the of flee of constable. MT Cronan has fl- nally consented to enter the race This may perhaps mean a big fight as MT Cronan has resided there all his life and has been hard worker in the democratic party and has never here tofore looked for the slightest recog- milton.

SCOPE OF NINE FIELDS.
Russia Erpects No Protest-Ques-
ton of International Lac.

St Petersburg. May 25.-The British and
American press reports OF possible protests
against the laying OF mines In the waters OF the
Liao-TUng Peninsula because OF the danger TO
international commerce evoke much interest
here. and the subject OF the general remark
that there was no talk Of protests while Rus
sian ships were being blown UP.
Government circles are inclined TO think the
reports Of possible protests by the powers are
confined 10 the press. Neither the British nor
the American Embassy has received instruc-
tons on the subject The indications are that
II the question OF laying mines beyond the three
mile limit becomes the subject OF a formal pro-
test it viii raise a question OF international
law growing out Of the increased range OF mod
ern guns. The three-mile limit was established
in the days when that distance represented the
maximum range. but II ships now lie six or
eight miles away and reach the coast with their
pro1ectiles IT is argued that the defenders have
a perfect right 70 take such military measures
as they choose within the range Of the enemy's
guns.
II is now definitely known that the Russian
protected cruiser Bogatyr went the rocks a
fortnight ago at place near Cape Gamova.

O05caaL Statement Regarding the
Dispute Nth France.

Rome. May 25-The ''Osservatore Romano >"
the Vatican organ, publishes an official state
nent. reviewing the relations existing between
Cardinal Merry del Val. the Papal Secretary of
state. and M. Nisard, French Ambassador to the
vatican, Immediately before the recall of the
envoy as the result Of the PapaI protest against
the visit Of President Loubet TO Rome
NJ Nisard visited Cardinal Merry del Val on
friday last. according 10 the paper, and told him
ne had been instructed by the Foreign Minister
NJ Delcasse to inquire 70 the authenticity Of
the text Of the note to the Catholic powers. as
published in ''LHumanite." of Paris which
varied from that directed to the French gov
eminent, and TO ask especially if the phrase re-
garolng the recall of the nuncio. which was
ommltted from the note addresse- TO France
really occurred in that sent TO the other
powers
The cardinal said he would reply Immediately
If the ambassadors interrogations were put in
writing. NJ. Nisard pointed out that there was
no time TO do this. and the cardinal then said
that ne would give answer within an hour
or even within half hour. NJ. Nisard, how
ever insisted on an immediate reply. and plead
ed that the cardinal should answer yes or no.
The cardinal said he was sorry that he was
unable to comply with the ambassadors de-
mands, and NJ. Nisard then said that he would
have to draw the conclusion that Cardinal Merry
Vel d. OlQ not recognize the authentlcIty or the
note published
The cardinal retorted that he had not said
anything OF the kind. which NJ. Nisard re-
Piled, Then I shall telegraph Minister Del
casse that you decline TO answer" To this the
cardinal replied that. on the contrary, he had
promised a written answer within a hour.
NJ Nisard then Withdrew, saying that he
would write. Two hours later Cardinal Merry
del Val, not receiving word from the ambassa-
dor. sent communication to the embassy, say
ing II at he was at NJ. Nisard's disposal auC
prepared TO give an answer, but no reply TO the
communication was received.
On Saturday morning NJ. Nisard again visited
the Secretary OF State. and informed him that
the insistence upon written form OF his ques-
tons had been interpreted as a desire TO eIude
the subject, and that therefore he had been in
strUcted TO leave Rome on vacation.
The "Osservatore Romano" infers first, that
Cardinal Merry del Val. not having given an
answer the recall Of the ambassador was not

cardinal would have given within hour would
have been exhaustive and thoroughly salts
