NEW HAVEN TROLLEY
 MEN TURNED DOWN.
President heen Refuses Their Request for an Increase in Wages-Union Will Decide To-Night Whether to Strike or Not-Company Has Engaged Hundreds of Strike Breakers and is Prepared for Trouble

New Haven, Sept. 6-The main con tentlon of the union of the street rail- way employees in this city, who car rled an appeal from a negative request for an increase in wages from the management of the Consolidated rail way company, to President Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hart Ford railroad company. was refused to-day. This refusal was given in the answer received from President Mel len this afternoon.
 The men wanted an increase of twenty-five cents an hour for over time. President Mellen granted some concessions which were only minor ones. The union will meet tomorrow morning, probably at a very early hour, when all the men can be on hand to discuss the situation. Just at the present time it is difficult to say what will be the outcome of that meeting but if the men feel as they did several weeks ago when their de mands were first made, strike is probable.
 The street railway employees on the local lines. is if claimed. have not been so much dissatisfied with the wages as they have with the manner in which they have beep compelled to work overtime. Some of the men claim that they have been forced to work from twelve to twenty hours out of the twenty-four on occasions when traffic is heavy. The company have prepared for a strike and Is ready for any trouble that may arise At the first intimation of a strike hundreds of strike breakers will be rushed into New Haven. probably under their old leader, James Farley. Provisions, cot beds and crockery have been purchased and quarters have been secured in which to house the strike breakers should the strike begin.

Tokio, Sept 5-The first turbulence attendant upon the popular anger over the terms of peace arranged with Russia, took place to-day. A mass meeting to protest against the action of the government was called to take place at Hibiya park, but the metro politan police closed the gates and attempted to prevent the assemblage of the people. The municipality pro tested against the action of the p0- lice and finally the gates were thrown open and large crowd gathered and voted in favor of resolutions deelar- ing the nation humiliated and de- nouneing the terms upon which the treaty of peace was arranged The crowd was serious in it's conduct. rather than angry. and the police handled it discreetly. The gathering eventually dispersed in an orderly manner.
 Later on, however. a crowd attempt ed to hold meeting in the Shintomi theater and the police dispersed it. 4 portion of the crowd then proceeded to the office of the Kokumin Shinbun. the government organ, and began hooting. Three employees of the paper armed with swords appeared at the door of the building and checked the attack. and the police again dispersed the crowd. It was thought that the trouble had passed when suddenly a portion of the crowd made a rush at the building. hurled stones and dam aged some of the machinery. Several persons were injured during the at tack, but the police eventually cleared the streets of the crowd and arrested a number of the rioters. The disorder is not general and the situation is not serious Similar meetings have been held at Osaka and Nagoya. which in round terms denounced the government and asked them to re sign.
 General sentiment throughout the country seems to favor reactionary measures. but it appears clear that the majority of the people will even tualIy accept the result of the peace conference, however disappointing it may be.

CHARTER OAK.
Finish of Race Which Caused Death of
 Sadie Mac.<

Hartford, Sept 6.-The finish of the S10.000 Charter Oak stake race, of which four heats were trotted yester- day, when Sadie Mac, the favorite in the race, dropped dead on the track, was the most interesting event on the card for to-day's racing at Charter Oak park. In the heats trotted yesterday Zephyr. driven by Gears, and Angiola, with Ames in the sulliy, each won two victories, and it was Expected that one more heat to-day would decide the race. The hour set for the start of the unfinished event was 1 o'clock. Other races on the program are the 2:30 and 2:12 trotting and the POS pace.
 Among racing men to-day the opin- ion was general that the tedious SCOT ing which preceded the first heat of the Charter Oak event was partly re- sponsible for the death of Sadie Mae. Her driver, Harry Stinson, was in- clined to attribute the trouble in part to this, though he said he had not no- t1ced anything seriously wrong in the mares actions before she dropped dead In the fourth heat. Sadie Mac was in- sured in Lloyd's of London for S15,- 5O0, the price for which her owner, Miss Katherine L. Wilks of Gault, Ont. bought her year ago from k. E. smathers of New York. Her racing career began two years ago at Charter Oak park as three-year-old and she was never beaten in a race. The mare had won S13250 this season, and as a three-year-old won about S1S.OO0 in stakes and purses. She was not en- tered in any races last season. After making record of 2O61a in race at Crosse Point, Detroit, early this sea- son, an offer of $30.0O0 was made for her, but she was not for sale. She af- terward reduced the record a quarter of second in competition at Read vile.
 FINAL HEAT RUN TO-DAY.
 Hartford, Sept 6.-The final heat and race for the Charter Oak stakes of $10.000 was won this afternoon by Angiola. Zephyr was second. Norman B. was third and Glenwood NJ. was fourth. The time was 209%.
 An autopsy was performed on the carcass of Sadie Mac, the trotting mare who dropped dead in the race yesterday afternoon. It was found that she had enlargement of the heart | and had been suffering from that dis ease since she was a yearling. The body was buried in the southwest sec ton of the park.

PORTSMOUTH IS pEsERTEp.

PORTSMOUTH IS DESERIED..
 Portsmouth, \. H.. Sept. 6-Life in the picturesque section of New Eng
 land, which for the past four weeks has centered around the proceedings of the peace conference began slipping back into normal channels to-day with the departure of M. Witte and the Russian mission on special train for New York and of the members of the Japanese entourage, who did not 20 with Baron Komura last night. Be fore noon all the members of both missions were under way for BSston and New York.
 Although up until after midnight M. Wiete was early about this norm ing and before he had taken break fast a crowd had assembled on the veranda to see him of. The personal magnetism of the man had seemed to increase rather than diminish with each day of his stay here.
 When he came out to enter his auto mobile he heard the same hurrahs that have greeted him every time he ap- peared anywhere about the hotel .Al- though he had only q brief time to make the five miles to the station, he appeared as if having all day, as he cordially shook hands with each of the fifty or more people gathered about him. When at last he started he was given cheers and cries of "adieu." At the corner NJ. Witte looked back and waved his hat in a final farewell
 Mir. Takahira. who headed the Ja- panese party, also was heartily cheer ed The special train bearing M. other members of the Russian suite. left at 10 o'clock The Japanese par ty followed at 1928.
 The hotel was almost deserted be- fore noon. A few guests who came this morning were shown over the apartments of the two missions and were on the lookout for souvenirs.
 At the navy yard the work has al- ready begun of restoring the general store to its former condition. The furniture will be shipped hack to Washington including the table on which the treaty was signed. This piece of furniture may be preserved by the department of state and also the chairs in which the plenipotentiar- ies sat. The partition that closed in the conference room from the main corridor will be torn down this week. The building will however. continue to be known as the '.peace building"
 Mir Pierce. the assistant secretary of state. will remain here this week to wind up the governments business in connection with the conference.
 Captain Cameron M. R. WinsIow. commanding the Mayflower. was among the last to take leave of M. Witte. He remained some little time with the Russian plenipotentisry who desired to thank him in his own and the emperor's name for the hospitality with which M Wltte and hts mission had enjoyed aboard the Mayflower NJ. Witte presented Captain Winslow with an autograph photograph
 Later on the people of this section will take up the question of perpetu- atinE ia some way the historic part | which the navy yarf has played in l the last month. IL has been suggested | that bronze tablet he placed on the l walls of the peace building commem- orztive of the 'Peace of Portsmouth. brought about within its walls and i the Treaty of Portsmouth signed In the long room on the second roor yesterday afternoon

Power OF Niagara.

The Niagara river descends 100 feet
and develops 100000 horsepower be-
tween the base Of the great cataract
and the foot Of the escarpment at Lew
istown and Queenstown, FIVE miles
down stream. This energy repre-
sented by tho normal discharge Of
222. 900 cubic feet Of water per sec
ond, Is now expended, says the Arehi'
tect and Builder, in excavating tho
great gorge in which the White Horse
rapids, the whirlpool and Niagara
glen are located. Fully eighty feet Of
this fall along the rapids occurs be-
tween a point several hundred feet
south Of tho cantilever bridge and an.
other at the lower end Of the glen,
which can be connected by a tunnel
some 10000 feet long, on the New
York side Of the river. With the head
Of eighty feet and the discharge OF
900 cubic feet per second named

600 horsepower, as mechanical motion
and heat. This power Is fully one-half
as great as that Of the American and
Horseshoe falls combined, since tho
volume of water is substantially the
same in the falls and the rapids, and
the descent Of the former is only twice
that Of the latter Making the fair
assumption that 60 per cent Of the gross
