The Newtown bee., 1905-09-29

Bracing October weather of the 1 Danbury fair stripe greeted the New town fair for it's opening day, Tuesday, a clear sky overhead and stiff wind that made overcoats comfor table. The attendance was fully up to opening days, 1000. The croakers were again obliged to take back seat tor in spite of the prophecies of some people who take pleasure in discrediting local in- stitutions, there was probably THE BIGGEST SHOW OF WORKING OXEN AND STEERS EVER SEEN ON THE GROUNDS.
 Charles F. Hamlin of Plantsville, a prominent cattle man, told BEE re- porter 1t was the largest exhibition of working oxen and steers he had ever seen at any fair. The NewtOwn fair brings together larger number of cattle men than any of the local fairs. Prominent among those present look ing over the cattle were Samuel G. Lockwood of North Wilton, Sherwood Brinsmade of Trumbull, Nelson Kin ney, Andrew J. McMahOn and Select man James Sullivan of New Milford, Samuel Peck of Watertown, Nelson Lewis Atwood and Barnett J. Atwood of North Woodbury, Frank Turking- ton, Litchdeld county's best known cattle buyer, James H. flakes of Falls Village, H. Cornelius Judd and w. F. Hoyt of Bethel, Randolph Bradley of Bedding, Charles Beard and> Byron Brownson of Huntington, T. Bartlett Terrill of North Woodbury, Superin- tendent David Disbrow of the cattle department at the Danbury fair, and his sons, Arthur and Louis Disbrow, of New Fairfield, P. J. Rourke of Orange, Amos Culver of Naugatuck, John Wooster of Seymour, E. w. and How ard Wheeler, Miles Burr and Alex Sin ThOmastOn.
 President Mitchell was early on the grounds, and by II o'clock the work of judging the several classes of cattle was we'll under way. One of the larg- est and most valuable pair of oxen on the grounds were the Herefords of EX- Senator William N. Northrop. He was asked by several farmers to put a price on them. Nathan Beardsley of Roxbury made his usual fine show of cattle and steers. In his string were IA pairs of steers, four Devon bulls, two calves,a three-year-old and year. ling. He also showed grade COWS, two and three year olds. Barnett Atwood, the expert driver, assisted him in handling the string. When "Nate" went to the New Milford fair he took along B head of cattle and exhibited in 19 classes. He went home with 19 premiums, 15 first premiums and four seconds.
 SOME OF THE PREMIUM AWARDS WERE

OPINION SUPPORTS
THE MAYORS STAND
Philadelphia Councils Have
Power to Repeal Fran
chise Ordinances.

PHILADELPHIA, June H--In accord
ance with the request made by the Com
rnfttee on Street Railways of the City
Councils for his opinion on the legality
of the bills providing for the repeal Of
ordinances granting street car companies
the right to construct tracks In certain
streets. City Solicitor John L. Kinney to-
day sent his opinion to that committee.
The City Solicitor holds that Councils
have full power and authority to repeal
the ordinances, because the street car
companies had not yet actually taken
possession of the streets.
The Committee on Street Railways will
meet Tomorrow, when the opinion will
be presented before it. A strong effort
will be made by the advocates of the ''re-
pealers" to have the bills favorably re-
ported to Councils. In order to avoid dis
orderly scenes such as those that oc-
Cured yesterday the meeting tomorrow
will be held In small committee-room.
John w. Hill, chief or the Filtration
Bureau has resigned. His letter of res
irnation was accompanied by a similar
communication from his son. Henry c.
Hill. who is the first assistant engineer
in the bureau.
The city park superintendents and ten
employees of the Electrical Bureau were
to-day dropped from the payrolls. making
a total of seventy-seven men discharged
during the current week.

Connection With Gore
Canyon Site.

DENVER, June IA. L. Fellows,
State Engineer of North Dakota and
formerly in charge of the United States
reclamation service in this city, to-
day made an affidavit concerning Gore
Canyon, which is being contested for by
the Denver, Northwestern and Pacific
Railroad, but which has ben set aside
by the United States reclamation ser
vice for a reservoir site The affidavit
is an answer to the charge that Fell
lows allowed himself to be improperly
Influenced in the preparation of his re-
port favoring the segregation or the
canyon for reservoir purposes.
Fellows says that the proposed reser-
voir is essential to the needs of the
Government in reclaiming the arid
lands in Colorado, Utah, Arizona and
California; that the construction of the
reservoir is feasible; that the supply
of unappropriated water is sufficient to
fill the reservoir annually and that the
construction of the reservoir will not
Interfere with the building OF the
Denver, Northwestern and Pacific.
The suit referred to is one in which
an APPLICATION for an injunction is made
by United States District Attorney
Cranston to restrain the Denver. North

mIscoNcEPTIoN IN CHINA,

PEKING. June 1.-THE agitation and
proposed boycott of American goods by
Chinese merchants is apparently based
uron a Gnisconception by the Chinese as
70 American intentions in regard to the
exclusion act. 4 discussion Of the sub
1ect will be necessarily prolonged and
TO arrange a new convention will take
tine Eockhill. the American Minister,
has assured the Chinese that America S
intentions arc fair and conciliatory and
the Chinese Board of Foreign Affairs is
apparently satisfied upon the subject
The public is somewhat alarmed. hence
the agitation OF the boycott
This movement is unlikely to attain
any serious proportions. although it is
significant, indicating the importance
which is attached by the Chinese to the
questions involved in the American ex-
clusion act
The exclusion of coolies from the Ha-
waiian and Philippine islands is consid-
cred a hardship by the Chinese, who
also complain OF the treatment they ex-
perieBce at the hands OF the American
customs officials. Nevertheless, there is
a genuine desire upon the part of the
Chinese Government for a speedy and
apicable adjustment OF the questions at
issue

Letter of Protest Will

LONDON, June 14-It is officially an

King Oscar an honorary admiral of the

long letter to the President Of the Nor
wegian Storthing CBerner), defining his
position, was received in the storthing.
which was crowded, at it's opening this
morning after the whitsuntide recess.
The document was referred unanimously
to a special committee without comment.
and the Storthing adjourned to await the
committees report. There was no dem
onstration whatever A short' reply will
be sent, reaffirming the constitutional
rights of the Storthing.
The Government of Norway and the
members of the Storthing welcomed the
message, seeing in the last paragraph an
indication that the King and the Riksdag
will confirm the dissolution of the union
after a reaffirmation of the contention
that the union could not be dissolved
without the consent Of Sweden and King
Oscar.
A member of the storthing, comment
ing on the bitter feeling in Sweden. said:
"Aristocratic Sweden is always in
clined to look down on democratic Nor
way. The Swedes resent what they con-
slider our audacity in initiating dissolution
and dethroning the King. The latter has
always been influenced by an atmosphere
of the nobility Of Sweden and seldom Wis
tied Norway The Swedish upper cham
Der, too is inclined to consider the rights
of the throne paramount to those Of the
constitution, which, however, is not the
case in Norway"
STOCKHOLM, June 1.-THE attitude
Of the laboring classes is likely to prove
potent factor in overcoming any posi-
BILE disposition on the part Of the Riks-
dag to suggest the adoption OF coercive
measures toward Norway and influencing
the Chamber in favor of accepting the
dissolution Of Norway and Sweden.
Swedish labor unions are daily tele-
graphing to Norway unions. saying they
will refuse to take up arms, and the
Social Democratic party has issued
proclamation to the laboring classes,
reading:
.'It becomes more apparent daily that
the upper classes and reactionary news
papers are attempting to cultivate SEN
timent hostile to Norway, with the view
to calling the people to arms against
her in her struggle for liberty.
The proclamation says IT Is the nrm
decision of the working men not to re-
spond to a call to arms and asserts that
thew intend to go out on strike through
out the whole country II the Riksdas
comes to such a decision. In conclusion,
the proclamation calls upon the labor
ing classes throughout Sweden to mani
fest their opinion of the situation at

NEW YORK. June 14--Orders were re-

ing tops of the battleship Alabama Or
ders have been issued also that the guns
are not to be replaced on the fighting

guns are to be replaced by range finders,
and that similar orders viii be issued re-
garding other battleships-
The news of the victory OF Admiral
Togo in the battle of the Sea OF Japan IS
said to have brought about the decision
to put range finders in place Of the one
Founders which have occupied the tops
The fate Of the battle was decided by the
superiority Of the work Of the japanese
gunners while the ships were still at
long range.
The department was informed that the
aim Of the Japanese gunners was due to
the efficiency Of the men with the range
finders, whom the japanese had placed in
the fighting tops. They were thus able
to pick up the Russian ships at a far
greater distance than the Russians could
locate the japanese.

First Obstacle in Way
at Peace NOT Yet
Rem0Ued.
Washington One Of
Three Cities Being
C0uSldeyed.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Gradually the
negotiations for. peace in the Far East
are nearing a focus. The one point to
which the energies of those directly con-
cerned IL them now are being directed Is
the choice of a place for the holding OF
the conference of the plenipotentiarles OF
the belligerents
1t is known officially that three cities
now are under consideration by Russia
and Japan These cities, named In tne
order of the likelihood of their final selec-
ton. are Washington, The Hague and
Geneva Thus far no decision has peen
reached. Paris and Lon.on have been
eliminated from the equation. 1t IS un-
derstood that the Russian Government oo-
jects to an Asiatic city, its preference
being for some European capital. After
objecting to the holding OF the CONFER
ence in Paris the Japanese Government
expressed a Willingness to consider other
places which afforded adequate facilities.
although it is assumed that Japan's pref
erence would be some Far Eastern city
practically within the theater of war.
Finally. however, the selection seems to
have narrowed down to the three cities
named. Objections have been made by
the Japanese to The Hague, but 1t is not
believed that they are fundamental or un-
alterable. However, as the situation now
is, Washington appears to be the city
most likely to be selected. 1t can be SAID
on authority that If the conference be
held in the United States 1t Will be In
Washington. No other place in this
country has been considered seriously.
An announcement of the selection or
the place of holding the conference Is
expected within a few days. 1t may come
Tomorrow and it may not come for sew
eral days. Thus far President Roosevelt
has acted merely as an Intermediary be-
tween Russia and Japan in the conduct
of the negotiations regarding the selec-
tion of. place of conference. He is In
no sense of the term an arbiter. Should
a deadlock ensue--a condition that is re-
garded as quite unlikely-it is not i'm
probable that the President may be re-
quested by the two powers to name the
place of conference.
After the selection of the place of meet
ing of the plenipotentiaries the two Gov
ernments will name those who are to rep
resent them at the conference. Then an
armistice between the contending armies
in the field will be arranged and, pending
the result of the peace conference, the
great armies facing each other in Man.
churia will lie on their arms awaiting
the final signal from their Governments.
