CHARTER AMENDMENTS
Measures Were Yesterday Considered
 by Legislature.

All the charter amendments recOm- mended by the aldermen were cOnsid- cred yesterday before the legislative committee at Hartford. City Attorney Kellogg had a good word to say in fa- vOr of the whole of them and no one would suspect from his reasoning that most of them passed the aldermen as party measures and with no end in view other than to create permanent berths at the expense of the people for men who have been tried party wise and found not wanting. Some of the bills had a lot of merit in them, such as the change in water rates and the one having reference to filing liens for public improvements. but the others had nothing to recommend them to the committee except that q certain element of republicans in Wa terbury wanted them. The commit teemen appeared to realize the situa- ton and could hardly refrain from laughing when the city attorney tried to convince them the best interests of the public demanded that the present building inspector and his assistant be retained as long as they are able to get around. At one stage of his re- marks it looked as if Mir KellOg. was going to ask permission to tack an amendment onto the original measure providing that after the inspector got too old to climb ladders and descend cellarways they shall receive pension not to exceed twO-thirds of the salary paid to them at the time of their re- tirement but if he had such thing in mind he forgot it. The committee lis tened very attentively to Commission CTS Van Keuren and briggs give req sons why the head of the police de- partment should be known as super intendent' instead of "chief'' and re- ceive an increase in wages of $500 q year. County Health Officer Hoadley gave the board of health battle on the proposed amendments to the health laws. especially the sections which give the board full power and leaves no appeal for parties who feel az grieved. Dr Mum and l.. w. Ander- son opposed medical inspection of schools. Chairman Rodman, Commits siOner Jones and Health Officer Xiii martin gave a good account of them selves and it is thought they convinced the committee that Waterbury asked nothing but what it ought to have.
 The amendment with reference to tax for parks went over until the Un- ion station park question is settled. If things turn out as planned the big bond issue will go through with the bill providing for a tax for the main- tenanca of parks.
 Besides those already mentioned there were present Mayor Elton, Com missioner Beach and Assessor Beecher,

GOD AND MAN.

 Students Of Princeton College.

Rev. E. Everett HaIe's Lecture ta
 Students Of Princeton College.
 PRINCETON, x. l.. March 1O.-"The Moral Forces Tn the Twentieth Ccntu. ry' was the subject of the Trask lee. .ture delivered at Princeton university last night by the Rev. Edward Everett Hale, LI.. D.. chaplain of the United States senate. He said in part:
 '''rhe success of the American repub. lie is due to the working of two mighty moral forces. God and man.
 As an illustration Dr. Hale cited the case of two German brothers. One em. igrates tO this country and establishes himself as farmer in the middle west. He advances his station in life. while his brother in Germany remains sta. tionary. ''The chief difference said he. ''is the fact that the German is carrying soldier on his back. while the American can rely for law and Ss> der on moral forces.
 The foundation for the success ol our democratic government rests on the fact that it is the rule of the aver. age man and it is chiefly dependent upon the cooperation of all it's citizens together with the assistance of God In these we have our two great mora. forces

RUSSIANS HEnhED IN.
Mukden Being Rapidly Deserted In View of NOdsu's Capture of the City-C.ar'x Troop. Resist-
 ing Desperately.

 ing Desperately. LONDON, March 1O.--A special re. port from Mukden says that the .Tapa, nese have started n fierce lombard. ment of the bridge at Flu pass. on the Hun river. twelve miles east of Muk- den, the Russian artillery replying wig orously.
 '"At ppesent"the Japanese are making most energetic attacks south of the Hun river. It is rumored that they have transferred thither some of their forces from the northwest in anticipa- tion of a night attack.
 Late dispatches lead to the belief that General Kuropatkin's army has met with the greatest disaster in the history of modern warfare.
 In the lobby of the house of commons last night it was rumOred that General kuropatkin had asked for an armis- tice.
 On official authority it is stated that fully 100000 Russians are enveloped and that Russia's central army corps are almost annihilatetl.
 Among the prisoners brought in are a number of privates in new uniforms who were from recently organized Japanese reserve division. There is reason to believe that another division is being landed in the northern part of Korea for the purpose of making q demonstration against Vladivostok.
 There have been furious attacks northwest of Mukden against the vil- lages of Santaitse. Yangshihtun and Cshuntun.
 Civilians are streaming northward out of Mukden.
 Individuals and small parties have reached the railroad. cut the telegraph wires and dislodged few rail lengths, but the damages were quickly repaired and the perpetrators usually killed or captured.
 Lieutenant Colonel Sapolski. a bril- liant and beloved officer. one of the he roes of Liaoyang and one of the first up Poutiloff hill. who swore to die rather than surrender. was killed at Pachiatzu.
 Another of the dead is Prince Ma kacn. commander of the Samara regi- ment.
 The bodies of the two young Rus sians alleged to have been spies at Sinmintin. who were bebeaded by Chi nese bandits. have been buried by Jap anesc soldiers. The bodies were not mutilated.
 A Newchwang dispatch says that the Tie pass has been invested by the Japanese and that General Kuropat- kin. having no alternative. will proba- bly, he forced to surrender.
 General Nogis army has made . forced march of twenty-five miles daily and. acting in conjunction with General Oku's army. surrounded sO.OoO Russians in the direCSioE of Tie pass and cut on their supplies.
 The hurrying Japanese armies pass cd a division of Russians without siv. ing it any attention until the enveIop- ing movement was completed. when they cru.hingiy attacked the Russians on all sides.
 A report from Fusan says that the Japanese left army corps have cut and destroyed the railroad between Muk- den and lie pass. The Russians are in retreat orer the northern roads.
 The left column of these troops is at Likampu. seven miles north of the Hun river and five miles west of the rail road and has had ferre fight with 2 Russian fore thrice its Fumber- The Russian casualties numbef 1a0p
 The Russian center is retreatins in great eeafusioa.

BeIi,.I,ng the Mayors ONCE.

Seldom has the office of mayor of a
city the size of Rock Island been so
belittled as was done by the conven-
ton that assembled at Turner hau last
evening. taking the case from any
view point. And it is not stretching
IL in the least to state that the
convention did just what il did no:
want to do. although through the
stress OF remarkable circumstances il
was forced to do Mr. Knox was not
the choice OF a large percentage
of the delegates for the high Office for
which he entertains aspirations of so
chronic nature. The whole trouble repOS-
ed in the fact that in some of the wards,
two at least of the most important.
delegations were selected with an idea
single 10 the attainment of ends which
while they should have been second
airy TO the nomination of a creditable
candidate for mayor were bound by
considerations 'Thich TO them proved
of superior Importance. To these dele
cations, or ar least TO the candidates
for subordinate places on the ticket
controlling them, the mayoral nomina-
ton was but an incident. IL mattered
not who the party nominated for may
or. - that they landed all right. To
them the inspiration that should
prompt the partisan as well as the cit
izen, TO see that men Of qualification
and recognized fitness be put before
the people for the Office of mayor
was dead To them il was
n matter of minor consideration what
the character of the head OF the ticket.
so long as they themselves graced it.
The higher Office was OF no importance
beyond its advantage as a trading me-
dunn.
The republican party in the city of
Rock Island has been guilty of many
mistakes. but The Argus is not quite
ready to believe that the action of last
evening voices its expression as TO the
ideal mayorality candidate. Tried
twice in the Office for which he still
yearns Mr. KnoX's administrations in
both former instances proved so SUI
pinely weak and meaningless. so alb
soluteIy without character. force or
CO ability OF say description as 10 be

ended with the city in a condition as

Foolish Russia.

Russia says, among other things,
that it is unable TO consider any peace
proposals until IT has shown the world
its ability to continue the war, either
by massing another large army or by a
naval victory.
This sounds like foolish talk from
Russia Massing another large army
will not demonstrate anything except
that raw troops are no match for grim
and experienced campaigners, while
a naval victory over Japan is utterly
beyond the worlds Imagination
Russia has not the ships, the men
or the fighting sense TO do much more
than riddle a fishing feet, and cannot
by any possibility construct a formid-
able navy within three years, assum-
ing there were enough ready money.
Russia would be better appreciated
if it would demonstrate TO the world
its ability to take a licking. BY &C
cepting reasonable terms from Japan
it might save itself from utter defeat
at home; that is 10 say. from a revolu-
ton. Russia has little 10 gain from
the world without by prolOnging the
agony Of its attempt to conquer at a
distance. but il has much to lose at
home
