James z. Darling, who was appointed

here last Friday in j partially paralyzed
condition. So quietly was he brought
home and so still has the matter been
kept that tile nearest neighbors were

and SO much mystery is attached to the
case that all sorts Of rumors are be-

Darling is hopelessly paralyzed as a re-

these rumors the Times sent q reporter
to the house, but beyond the admission
that young Darling was home, sick, no

for Waterbury TO attend q meeting OF
the trustees of the state asylum for the

tion ordered by the legislature of 1904.
He regretted that the result of the in
vestigation was such that the committee
thought it necessary to ask for the resig
nation Of Trustee George w. Wing Of
Montpelier and Superintendent Marcello
Hutchinson, but he considered that the
report was yindication Of the honesty
Of the two men, in that no evidence
Of graft was found,
The trustees nave received several APP
plications, from both inside and outside
the state. for the position of superin-
tendent Of the state asylum, but Trustee
Burditt gave it as his opinion that there
il a good field to pick from among the
present corps Of officials at the institu-
tion, which may be taken to mean that
he win very likely support Dr. Andrews
for the first position In concluding Mr.
Burditt said Il have no axe to grind
shall give to the work the best that
/ am able TO give Neither politics nor
religion will be allowed to enter into
my connection as a trustee And
shall not be niggardly with the pa
tients who are placed in the institu-
ton"

for this afternoon TO perfect organiza-
tion and to receive and act on the resig-
nation Of the superintendent; also to

IApAN IS SILENT.
Makes No Reply Regarding the Matter
Of Armistice.


st. Petersburg, July 1t.-Although
ten days have elapsed since Russia in
formed President Roosevelt of her will
ingness to conclude an armistiee pending
the result Of the Washington conference,
Japan so far as known TO the Russian
government has not deigned to reply
to the presidents communication.
When the question Of an armistice
was first broached BY the president,
il is understood that Japan indicated
that she would decline to agree to a sus.
pension Of hostilities until the plenipo-
tentiaries met. Russia agreed in prin-
ciple to this as the basis for negotia-
ton Since then the Russian govern
ment feels it has given ample proof
Of its desire to conclude peace and it
if possible It may 60 step further.
But the impression here IS that now
that the japanese have made a descent
on the island Of Sakhalin they are de-
termined to ret the island firmly in
their grasp before the negotiations are
begun This is an easy task as the
small Russian force on the island is in
no position to contest its occupation.
In addition to marines and infantry,
the japanese landed artillery and caval-
rv. The latter are moving rapidly north.
The presumption here is that the Rus
sian troops will clear out without fight
ing, crossing to Alexandrovsk on the
mainland, The Noyosti says it consid-
ers Sakhalin to be a second Alaska,
worth S1D,0O0,00O,o00
II possible however, Japan might agree
to suspend hostilities in Manchuria, all
though the latest reports from the front
Great a strong suspicion that Field Mar
shal 0yama is at least advancing for
q decisive blow.
