THE WAR.

The complete defeat of Kuropat-
kin's army at Mukden has not, ap-
parently, brought Russia to the point
of asking terms of peace. At a war
council Tuesday, it was determined to
continue the struggle to the bitter
end. A new army will be raised and
despatched to the East as soon as
possible. The Pacific feet will pro-
coed on its way to engage Togo.
This is the official response to the
Japanese victory. But change may
come soon. The sinews of war prom
Use to fail Russia. It is stated that
France, which has literally responded
to the war loans of her ally, will do SO
no longer, if hostilities continue.
The temper of the Russian people is
for peace. Above all, it may be
found utterly impossible to stay the
northern progress of the foe, and the
remnant of the Manchurian army
may be sacrificed before heavy rein

Mukden will go on record as probably
the greatest general engagement in
history. The numbers of the troops
engaged can only be appropriated.
1t is supposed that Kuropatkin had
between $50, 900 and 300, 900 men about
Mukden, while the Japanese, who
never say anything about their
strength, may have had as many
more. The losses, too, are enormous.
In killed, wounded and prisoners, the
Russians lost over 100000, while the
Japanese admit loss of nearly 10000.
Kuropatkin managed to draw out the
balance through the narrow gauntlet
between encircling forces of the en-
envy, and by fighting fiercely with his
rear guard effected a retreat to the
strong position at Tie pass, 40 miles
to the northward. The Japanese
holly pursued, but were held back SO
well that the scattered fragments of
the grand army were able TO reform
and take up their position at the pass,
which had been we'll sortified in ad
vance. About LOO, 600 Russians are
there.

II the half is unearthed that some
Windsor folk assert about the state
prison, last November's sensation
sprung by the Vermont Assembly in
the closing days OF the session may
be mild in comparison to that which
is coming. The state is at present
investigating all of its institutions,
criminal and otherwise, by special
commission created because of the
original committee to investigate GER
tain rumors and charges as to thesRd-
ministration of the state prison at
Windsor.
The summary dismissal of Keeper
Harpin and his son has famed the
flame anew, and gossip takes wide
range, from stories affecting the NOR
ais of the prison to the disposing of
supplies charged to the state.
Attorney General CLARK y. Fits, as
chief prosecutor, is at the head of the
investigating board, which has not
yet quite finished the affairs of the
insane asylum at Waterbury.
Governor Bell is giving personal at
tention to the general inquiry, and
just how soon the committee may
reach the state prison is not known.

President Roosevelt addressed the
National Congress, of Mothers at
Washington. Monday. His theme;was
the duty, the responsibility and the
reward of true womanhood. Among
things said were:-
There are certain old traths which
will be true as long as this world en-
dures~ and which no amount of prog
ress can alter. One of these Is the
truth that. the primary duty of the
husband is to be the home maker.
the bread winner for his wife and
children, and that the primary duty
of the woman is 30 be the heip-meet,
the house wife and mother. On the
whole, / think the duty of the woman

The Lawyers Habit.

The legal formality of addressing a
court sticks to many a lawyer of con.
gressional preferment. 1t Is nothing I'M
usual to hear an imprisoned orator In
the house, pausing In his argument OF
breaking In upon the argument of an.
other, exclaim, Now, If your honor
please!" OF course the house always
marks the slip with a burst Of loud
laughter In the senate, where there
are also many lawyers, 1t is rarer to
hear the familiar words because de-
bate there is more sedate.

Rev. Lewis Grant died at West
Brattleboro, last Sunday morning, at
the age of ninety. Mr.. Grant was
widely known as missionary to At
RIGA. His work among the Zulus was
both intelligent and permanent. For
sixteen years from 1916 to 1853 he
lived in Africa as missionary to tt g
American board. He compiled a
grammar of the Zulu language. Be-
sides this he translated the Psalms,
the Acts and other portions OF the
Bible into the Zulu language. One of
his valuable essays was upon 1.-The

Waterbury Asylum. Inspection.
Before the committee investigating
state institutions, Everett A. Morse

titled Thursday as to the abuse of pa

case when three attendants assaulted
a patient after the doctors had made
their rounds, knocking him down and
beating him terribly. He believed
that the trouble was largely due to
improper government of the atten-
dants by the superintendent. Michael
Loughlin, a cook at the asylum, said
that of the 240 quarts of milk received
daily 200 quarts are SKINNED, the off,
GERS getting the cream. There was
other testimony of equally startling
nature. The examination was con-

Taking Fish by the Ton.
That the illegal SEEMING of fish is be-
ing carried on on large scale just
across the Canadian borders, is well
known fact, for nearly every evening
large consignments of fish go through
st. Adams to New York from st. Ar
mond by express. On Monday four
barrels were shipped and again Thurs
day evening several barrels and boxes
containing 1900 pounds went to New
York from st. Almond. During last
week 20 barrels were shipped from
East Alburgh to New York via Rousee
Point. 1t is claimed by good author
ity and can be proven that for weeks
past from two to three tons of fish
have been caught daily. The Yer
monters living on the border are nat
urally very indignant over the per-
sistent and open work done by the
Canadians, but are powerless to help
themselves.

are associated a number of Eastern
capitalists. President Barber and his

of Participating in the
Joseph Brogardo Murder

The Grand Jury indicted Salvatore Stra-
mo and Angelo Napoli yesterday for the
murder of Joseph Brogardo last January
Stramo and Napoli were arrested on tne
strength of a confession by Ancio Brisslle,
who alone had been accused or the crime.
During the investigation positive PROOF
was shown that a Malta or association or
ganized to do murder has existed In this
city.
When the news that Brissile was about
to tell all he knew was spread abroad
grim warnings were conveyed 10 his cell
at the County Jail. One card which was
sent to him read BE silent or we Will
kill YOU This threat is believed to
have been sent by NapoH, who. 1t
is alleged, planned the killing Of Bro
gardo. A bench warrant was issued
Immediately after the indictments were
found and Stramo and Napoli were
given into the custody of the Sheriff. De-
tective Tom Gibson and, Policemen Evatt
and Esola. who have been working on the
case. are certain that this action OF the
Grand Jury will practically break up the
gang.

WANTS NEIGHBOR ARRESTED
ON CHARGE OF VAGRANCY
g. w. Pratt Swears to Complaint
Against Mrs. Mamie Benson Be-
fore Police Judge Mogan.

G. w. Pratt. 416 Harrison street,
swore to complaint before Police
Judge Mogan yesterday, charging Mrs
Mamie Benson, 3591s First street, with
vagrancy. Pratt told the Judge that
Mrs. Benson was a holy terror" and
kept the neighborhood in a ferment
He had some trouble with her at one
time and since then. he said. she had
particular spite against him and his
family.
"She was in her usual condition of
inebriety on Saturday afternoon" said
Pratt, and while my children and
some other children were playing on
the street she threw a bottle to them
and urged them to drink its contents.
The bottle contained carbolic acid The
children fortunately did not attempt to
sample the contents. The woman did
it out of revenge and 1t is about time
that she was placed somewhere to keep
her from terrifying her neighbors and
perhaps doing some injury to our chill
dren."
