The foreign situation Is practically unchanged, says Banker Clews Each day news is anticipated of another great naval battle between Russia and Japan. Russian success would cause depression, inasmuch as 1t would prob ably prolong the war. Japanese sue cess, on the other hand, would be stimulating, for the reason that it would hasten more perfect peace. Japan unquestionably desires to de stroy the Russian fleet and take Vladi- vostok before listening to any discus sion of peace terms. Consequently, over-sanguine expectations of an early termination of the war should not be indulged. No uneasiness is yet shown in Paris, although the center is closely watched, but the French bankers seem to have the situation well in hand and are evidently endeavoring to defer the depressing effects of war upon Russian securities until after the struggle is ended, when selling would be less, and holdings could be more safely dis tributed AS as matter of fact the in- ternal dissensions in Russia are more threatening to Russian securities than the war. If the latter was the only cause of depression their decline would not be very serious.

BODY IDENTIFIED
 AFTER TWO YEARS

MiddletOwn, April 15.-On July 2S 1903, word was sent to the police of this city that there was sick man at the Futile brickyard in New6eld, and he was brought to the temporary hos. pital in the police station, where he died two days later. As near as could be learned from his indistinct utter. ances his name was John Mitchell, and he had no home. Alcoholic gastritis was given as the cause of death, and he was buried in St Johns cemetery.
 From that time nothing more had been heard about him until yesterday, when two women from New Haven called at the police station, saying they believed the man who died there in July, 1908, was their brother. Their surname is Meskell and they believed this might have been the name given by the dying man which was taken for Mitchell. They said that they had not seen him in twelve years, but had heard from him in Avon and soon after fin Hartford shortly before his death. The fact that he had not been heard from since July. 1903, confirmed their belief.
 They went to the undertaken and after further strengthening the identi- fcation from his description, made ar. rangements with him for the transfer of the remains to a cemetery in New Haven.

ADVENTURE IN MEXICO.

State Senator ]. R. Gorrell, former mayor, candidate for congress and general leading citizen of this town, has just written to friends here from Mexico, where he is travelling, of a remarkable adventure he had a few days ago. Driving out on stage one day to the ranch of an old friend, Senator Gorrell was handed a huge Winchester by a quiet man who ex- plained that there was $10,OOO in the safe and that they were liable to be held up.
 They were not held up. and Senator Gorrell was put down safely at the end of the trail leading to the cabin of his friend. Caston. He followed the trail to the cabin. and found mo- body inside. He climbed up a step- ladder to the second floor and lay down on a bunk. In a few moments. hearing steps. he looked down and saw a huge black bear. In his ex- citement and haste in getting back upstairs he, kicked over the ladder: it fell against the cabin door. closing and latching it. the bear inside.
 Having sniffed around and dliscov- cred that he couldn't escape. the bear soon became angry. Scenting some body upstairs he tried to chamber up. and. after several efforts, pulled him. self partly through the square hole. Senator GorreIl had found a heavy hatchet and with this he dealt a ter rife blow at the bears forehead, knocking him lsenseless The brute fell down. and just as he was recov- ering power to move Caston walkef in In a moment the bear was upon him The struggle was terrific. and Caston was losing the fight when Sen atof Gofreil leaped down. drew . big revolver from Customs own belt. and was able. on f11e secohd trial. tD shoot the bear dead Then he turned and shock hands with Castor, whoD he had not seen in twenty -yoan-EoW- tpa Cuuugpo0dOpe Dt IaO D1Do1eA

But the early bird was on his job and made a bee line for Vanderbilt as fast as his legs could carry him and he reached a place of safety just in time to save his headgear.

If this experiment of municipal own
 ership is successful in the great city of Chicago, if, after intelligent applIca- ton and reasonable probation, it works well to the betterment of the public service, and to the comfort, con- venience and economy of the people, it is simply matter of common sense to see that the movement inaugurated by the Chicago democracy, and to be cred ited as q democratic movement, will sweep the country and solve the prob- lem that involves both cities and states in scandal and injustice. That this ex- pertinent will be successful no man of reasonable intelligence will permit himself to doubt. It has been splendid ly successful in some of the greater cities of Europe, where conditions are exactly similar. The principle is sound, practical and founded upon fundamental principles of popular gov ernment. Public ownership removes the motive for misuse of public utili- ties. as when the motive goes the evil will go. AS long as selfishness and greed get the chance to gratify them selves at the public expense just so long will they do it. And nowhere on earth has there. ever been strike when the principle of government own- ership was in operation. Public own- ership will do for the railroads what it does for the postoffice, the police de- pertinent and the fire department.

Governor Cummins is believed to be candidate for the senate to succeed Senator Deliver, whose term expires two years hence. When asked regard ing the allegation he refused to affirm or deny it, but Senators Allison and Deliver have no doubt as to the gov. ernor's intentions. He has become the beneficiary of a recent supreme court decision which has the effect of ex- tending his term for two years, which will keep him in office right up to the time of the senatorial contest, although the Allison organization had hoped to retire him to the obscurity of private life a year in advance of that event.
