The Rev Dr Willard Scott of Wor. cester, Mass, is to be one of the speak CTS at the business mems banquet next Friday at the Auditorium. Dr Scott is one of the most distinguished after dinner speakers in New England. He is to be one of the speakers at the Empire State banquet in New York March IT, The other speakers there will be President Theodore Roosevelt, Senator Chauncey Depew, General A D. Chaffee, General Fred D. Grant, Albert D. Hart of Cambridge. Water- bury is indeed fortunate in having se- cured Dr Scott as well as Congress- man J. Adam Bede of Minnesota. Con- gressman Bede is one of the wittiest men in Washington and it is owing to the personal friendship of Congress- man Lilley that it was possible to get him to come to Waterbury. Tickets can be had at Davis x Yves store or from President Hampson or from any of the committee or officers of the as- sociation. Last year the business mems banquet was the event of the year and was held at Odd Fellows hall. Many were disappointed at not securing tickets on account of the Him. ited space. This year the tickets are limited, but it is proposed to hold forth at the Auditorium where more room and better accommodation can be given The price of the tickets are $3 each. None will be sold after Wed- nesday and the chances are that they will be sold out before. so great is the demand for them.

GIFTS FOR FlREhEN .
Hrs. Bishop Sends Fifty Dollar Bill
 Saved In Recent Fire.

New Haven, Mar 4-Yesterday morning the fire department received two handsome presents in recognition of their proficiency in handling fires.
 Mrs N. A. w. Bishop of Whalley avenue, sent in a fifty dollar bill with note expressing her gratitude for the prompt work of the firemen at the time her house on Whalley avenue was burned. The bill was upon a dresser during the fire and it shows stains from the chemicals which were used upon the flames. The room in which the bill was found was threatened with destruction, but the firemen by prompt and vigorous work saved much of the contents. Although in the midst of the flames the bill by a peculiar cOinci. Gence was not burned.
 The other gift was from Starr II. Barnum, the owner of the foundry on Whitney avenue, which was burned a short time ago. Mir Barnum sent a check for S25. The building contained much valuable machinery and some patterns of value.

THE GAS
 COMBINE. Money Is Being Used
 Freely. 
Republican Senators Are Paid $2,500 Each-To In.
 duce Them To Prevent Passage of Certain Bills.

New York, Mar 1.-The Evening World to-day prints the following:
 It is charged without the slightest equivOcation that democratic state senator, representing the gas combine of this city, has paid to several re- publican members of the state senate $2,5OO each to influence them in join ing with the forces that are working to prevent the passage of bills that might hurt the lighting monopoly in New York city.
 "In addition to this revalation. it is further asserted positively that five other senators have assumed an atti- tude that cannot be fathomed, and the only explanation, in the case of at least two of them, is that they are in negotiation for bribe money, but have not yet accepted it.
 'Three of the additional five sena- tors. for reasons personal and purely political, it is said, are ligning them selves with the democratic side.
 'In dispatches from Albany these charges are made and the promise is recorded that Governor Higgins when he returns next week will call a cau- GUS of the party senators. at which time he will all but accuse the men so charged and if they do not demon strate willingness to line up with the republican side of the senate it is stated that he will father a movement that will bring all the facts above into the lime-light.
 "From the disclosures made it is not improbable that an Investigating committee which will be open to the public will be the plan of the gov. ernor.'

ICE Is GOING GRADUALLY.

The ice is getting off the streets. hut the city will be lucky if it goes with out something happening which win cost more to meet suit for damages than it would to have kept them clean. X small hoy came near being lost in one of the pools on East Main street to-day. The youngster didn't think the water was so deep and before he was aware of the seriousness of the situa. ton he had tipped over and was rnak- ing frantic efforts to save himself. Just as lie was about to sink for the third time I respectable appearing lady caught sight of the struggling form and hurried to the rescue. She saved the boy hut not before she had ruined 8 beautiful silk dress. The officers should keep a close watch upon these death traps for the next week or So.

STARVING FAMILY.
RsvoltinS Condition Revealed is
 edehopper's Houssho'd.

Willimantic, Mar A family of six were found in Chaplin, yesterday, with four quarts of potatoes and p cents worth of four in the house as their only food, the father and mother with barely enough clothing to cover their nakedness; one child covered with sores and with only thin cloth bound about his hips; two other boys bare-foOted and with not clothing enough to protect them from the weather; q girl IA years old. who had no place to sleep but the bare floor and without clothing.
 State Agent Thrall of the Connecti- cut Humane society. and Local Agen; Frank Deming of Hampton were in Chaplin looking after other matters and their attention wa called to this case. MT Thralll came to this city :nd with Local Agent r. X. Weeks. Lawyer s. E. Harvey and a photogra- pher, drove to Chaplin. On a cross read. about one mile from the paper mills. they came upon a dilapidated farmhouse. They found Joseph Bal. due, his wife Margaret and four chil. dren. They sat huddled around a fire in the kitchen stove with little in the house to sustain life. BaIduc and his wife had on just enough clothing to cover their persons. the oldest girl was the only one fo the four children who had ainy shoes and the two young CT boys were dressed in the scantiest rags. with their feet bare.
 The father says he is woodch0p- per. but he wasn't at work and the officers seemed to get the idea that work was distastefuI ;o him. Select man Wilson of Chaplin visited the family with the officers. and the town of Chaplin will provide for their im- mediate comfort. It is likely that the crippled boy will be put in some insti. tuition.

BAD FOR KUROPATKIN.

Berlin, March 4.--A dispatch to the Tageblatt from St Petersburg says that General KurOpatkin. in a tele- gram which arrived at : o'clock last evening, announced that 26O,O00 Jap anese had broken through the Russian left wing and that it was cut off from 1he rest of the army. At fO o'clock an other dispatch from General Kuropat kin announced that the Japanese were making an attack on Mukden and that his position was extremely dan- gerous. In government circles here there is conviction that General Ku- ropatin has been beaten. that part of his army has been disnnrsed. and that the railroad north of Mukden has been cut.

NOTHING NEW,

TOkio. March 4 jt1 a. m.l-Aside from some brief ofiiciaf~announcements, tho army department remains uninformed Of the trend of events in Manchuria. It is evident that there is considerable activity along the entire front, which is roughly estimated to be ninety miles long. but it is doubtful if any general action has yet been commenced. At imperial headquarters nothing can be learned of the time and nature of the general movement at the front. The Russians seem to he concentrating troops on their center and left, while contracting their line oil the extreme right. --.
 The batteries of both armies con- tinue to exchange heavy fire.

$5.00O MISSING.
Express Package Contained Old Iron Instead of the
 koney.

Boston, March 4.-The police have been asked to solve the disappearance of $5,OOO in cash from an express pack age sent by the National Union bank of this city to the paper mills of F.
 W. Bird X Son at East Walpole, Mass. The package was similar to others which have been sent weekly from the bank to the mills for some time. When the parcel was received at the bank yesterday it was found that it con- tained not money but old iron. The in- vestigations thus far made lead the authorities to think that the exchange was made while the package was in transit. The bundle was taken to WalpOle by train and was in charge of a local express company.

EhPERbR'S RESCRIPT
 1IS HAILED WITH JOY.
Has Had Wonderful Effect the People-lt is Called Second Emancipation-1here is Considerable Activity Along the Entire Army Front these Days so Dispatches From Iokio Say.

St Petersburg, March 1.-The inn perial rescript announcing that Elm perOr Nicholas had decided to convene an assembly of elected representatives of the people to elaborate and consider Legislation, has produced wonderful impression. The war and the battle below Mukden are forgotten. The re- script is hailed by many as a second emancipation proclaimed on the ami, versary of the first, the Novoe Vremya characterizing it as marking Russians happiest hour. The liberals are amazed and are reading it as recognition of the elective principle and the complete surrender of autocracy, but discrfm- mating people while regarding it as q great victory, realize that all will de pend on the manner in which the re- form is carried out. They do not yet larbOr the vision of great national assembly debating all questions of state. According to their views an er- tering wedge has been made, but tic fight between liberalism and cOnserva- tism is now transferred to the cOminls- sion charged with the elaboration of the reform and only by keeping up the agitation do they believe real tri- umph is achievable. That the fight will continue in the commission is un- questionable. One of the ministers, a man who has labored necessarily in favor of an even broader concession, told the Associated Press to-day that such contest is inevitable. It was useless, Che said. to try to forecast the result, but the great principle for which he and others have been fighting had won. High hopes are now enter tained by the government of calming the present agitation which is cOnyuls- ing the country. It is not expected that the out and out revOlutiOnists can be appeased, but it is hoped the rescript will help to destroy the effect of the revolutionary propaganda amongs the really peacefully inclined.
 Bloodshed is feared in Poland and other. parts of Russia to-day and the authorities have taken the most ener- getic measures everywhere. Here the cOurtyards are full of troops and gendaMnes and patrols of cOssacks are parading the industrial section in an ticipation of trouble. But the rescript las already had quieting effect on the workmen and Governor General Trep0ff to-day says he is convinced that nothing oil q large scale will oc- cur. although it is possible that there niay be slight disorders.
