TIE MAYOR NOT THERE
.IlolIsy Officials Held a Session In Col
 8upee's Office To-Day.

President Young, General Counsel
 Paige and General Manager Sewell of c. K. < L. company were in Water bury to-day and held long confer ence in the office of Colonel Burpee
 relative to the difference between the
 company and the city. regarding trol- ley matters. Mayor Thoms was in
 Hartford consequently nothing very
 definite could have been reached. MT
 Young told Democrat reporter that
 the company had agreed to pave two
 thirds of East Main street aud that
 he thought was doing pretty well on
 this point, the city take the ground
 that they should pave the street from
 curb to curb. In case the two tracks are laid in the street the whole of it
 will have to be paved and if the com
 pany does not meet the expense the
 abutting property will have to foot the bill. It is thought that the com pany will finally decide to do little
 better.
 The Robbins street matter is settled,
 the understanding being that the com
 pany will pay $15,000 towards widen ing the street. So far as Town Plot
 is concerned nothing can be done
 about that until after the next session
 of the general assembly when the company will ask for charter rights
 in that district. So far they have none. It Is that that some understanding will be reached on this point whereby
 the city will help the company to get charter rights on Town Plot, on con dition that they bind themselves to build line there next year. MT Sew ell told a representative of this paper that so far as Town Plot was con cerned 1t was up to the city and the people of that part of the town to
 make good their promise and that the
 company would build the line as soon as possible.
 If the city and the company can get together on the East Main street
 and Town Plot matters 1t is quite likely that the company will be per
 mltted to use the 'Io' rail.

COL CEDDES' ATTACK
At Ealy Dawn Nc Marched On Cnnp
 Cole Second Day in Camp.

Camp Cole, July 10.-The Second infantry under Colonel James Geddes of Waterbury made an early morn ing attack upon the camp to-day and found a brave and stubborn foe in Colonel Fitch of the Third infantry. The battle lasted from daybreak until g this morning, when the result be- ing indecisive, with several com mands annihilated and no reserves to be brought up on either side, Briga- dier General Frost had the recall sounded.
 ing feature of the opening of the camp. It was fought over one mile front and gave the guardsmen good experience in extended order. The march was over rough meadows,
 through the woods and over stone walls and natural obstacles. One great drawback apparently was the lack of ammunition. The weather was clear and not sultry. The Second regi- ment marched out of camp in South Lyme as the Third regiment left
 Camp Cole at daybreak, scouting for
 positions having been done during the night by the Outposts. Colonel Geddes pushed his forces fully two
 miles over the road until he was but a short distance from the camp, when the attack began in earnest Had the field guns been with him, he would have dominated the camp and It's ap- breaches, soon after his main force
 came up to the line of his outposts, but Battery A was with Colonel Fitch
 and the road of the guns while the fight lasted added realistic touch to the whole affair.
 In Camp Cole after the several
 commands had gone to their quar- ters after the battle, regimental drill
 was taken up. No drilling was in
 dulged in by the Second infantry in
 the afternoon as the men were too tired from their long march in the attack on the camp. Governor Rob- erts and staff arrived this afternoon and were received with military hon.
 ors. Last night in the camp at South
 Lyme the men took matters easy.
 Colonel Geddes convened council of
 war and laid out on map the posi- tions of the several commands, where they should be found when the di- rect attack was made. The farmers | were out of doors to see the battle.
 The heaviest fighting took place on the left flank where neither side
 could gain much advantage.

BARK WAS BURNING.
When Assistance Came Crew of Ship
 in Distress Was Missing.

New York, July 10.-Upon arrival here this morning the Clyde line steamer, Carib. from Georgetown, s. C., and Wilmington. N. O.. reported having signaled yesterday ahre at sea the Uruguayan bark Margarita. The Margarita left Philadelphia July 3, bound for Halifax, N. s., in con- mand of Captain Alsena. There was no sign of life on board when the Carib sighted here.
 Captain Mcguire of the Carlo said that at 2:30 o'clock yesterday after noon, when his vessel was on the Del aware capes. the lookout reported a large volume of smoke rising to the eastward. Immediately the course of the Carib was laid toward the point from which the smoke was seen and after half an hours steaming the officers of the Carib were able to make out bark afire. Running close to the burning vessel and searching for signs of the crew the oficers of the Carib found her to be the bark Margarita of Montecideo. She was blazing fiercely aft, her mizzen mast had fallen alongside and charred spar was hanging over the quarter. All sails were set on the fore and mainmasts except the royals. All her head sails were also set. She was hove to and her head was pretty we'll up in the wind which kept the fire aft. From the mainmast forward ev- erything was untouched by the fire. A close examination of the Mar garita failed to reveal any signs of her crew. Apparently she had been hastily abandoned, her crew proba- bly having been taken off by some passing vessel.
 The Margarita is . wooden vessel of $50 tons net She was built in 1871 and is owned in Montevideo.

BURGLARS BREwED EeG.NoG.
Selected "Noisv" Clothes. Diamonds and Scarfpins While Discussing It.


 New York. July 10.- Two cyg-nog glasses. an empty whiskey bottle and egg shells lying near on the dining room table in w. R. Barrio's apart ment. 1l0 West 124th street. revealed the tastes of two burglars who ran sacked the place yesterday afternoon.
 It is also evident from the articles selected by the burglars that thsy are inclined to be sporty. Besides several noisy" suits of clothes, they helped themselves to diamond cuff buttons, studs, scarf pins and patent leather shoes.
 Joseph L. Smith, contractor who lives with his son Percy .n an apart- ment opposite, was also victim of the sporty burglars. He was first to discover the robbery.
 When he returned from work last night he found that the door of his apartment had been jimmied Invcsti- gation disclosed that jewelry, cloth- ing and silverware worth $1,0e0 were gone. On the threshold lay . broken egg, and five eggs We're miss ing from the pantry. He had just completed his search when MT Bar rios came home, and saw that his front door bod been jimmied also. An inventory of the property missing from his home showed that he had lost about $500 worth of jewelry, clothing and silverware.
 MT Smith was puzzled regarding the missing eggs until Mir l3arrios found the empty whiskey bottle, egg shells and glasses on his dining.:oom table.

WANT FRENCH PRIESTS.
Movement to Send Peter's Pence te
 Rome Through New Channel.

Worcester, Mass, July 10.-It be- came known here to-day that at convention of the "Denier De St Pierre society,"" which will be held at woonsocket. R. l.. September 25. an aggressive movement will be set in motion by French Roman Catho- lies throughout New England 10 se- cure for that race French priests and bishops in the Catholic diocese of New England. The most radical move in support of the demand, as we'll as to show the strength of the French Catholics will be made. 1t is said, when the annual Peter's pence eol- lection Is takentup. Instead of giving their funds to be forwarded to Rome through the ordinary channels. 1t is proposed to have agents for the so- ciety make an independent collection and forward it to Rome as a contri- button from the French Catholics. The action. it is said. will not only materially diminish the size of the Peters pence fund hitherto sent through the regular diocesan chan nels. but would. at the same time. demonstrate to the papal authorities the force of the demand for French bishops and priests in New England.

AT PISTOLS POINT.
Robber Holds Up Brooklyn Store- keeper and Escapes with Diamonds.

New York, July 1O.-A we'll dressed young man entered P. Fried rich's jewelry store at No 1133 Broadway, Brooklyn, when the street was crowded with shoppers at noon yesterday, and asked to see a dia- mond engagement ring.
 Charles Kuehnie, the head sales man, handed out tray of fifty-four diamond rings, valued at $1,O0O. The customer inspected them slowly He was about 23 years old, with mild, blue eyes, light hair, and wore dark suit and brown soft hat. When he and the clerk were alone in the store he suddenly thrust a re- volver in Kuehnie's face and said firmly:
 If you move or shout for help I'll shoot hole through you
 Kuehnie blinked at the pistol, while the young man seized the tray, huttoned hisscoat over it and dashed into the street.
 He upset two children, knocked bundles out of women's hands, and ran into several men. At Lenaire's s saloon, on the corner of the block, several men started in pursuit, but he outran them and disappeared near the Carnegie library.
 Kuehnie called up the police on the telephone, and Captain Miles O'Reilly dispatched the reserves from the Ralph avenue station. Six rings were found on the sidewalk where they had been dropped by the robber in his flight.
 Thirteen years ago Jeweler Fried rich waited on a customer who threw ammonia in his face, and escaped with his pockets filled with watches. A neighboring jewelry store was robbed two years ago by man who felled the proprietor with club and helped himself to the stock.

Peabody will Run Again.

Providence, R. l., July 10.-United States Senator George Peabody Wet more authorized the announcement to-day that he is candidate for re- election. The statement was prompted by a rumor that Senator Wetmore would retire in favor of Colonel Sam uel P. Colt of this city. Politicians view the announcement as meaning that Senator Wetmore will have to oppose Colonel Colt in securing re- publican votes in the legislature, and later to oppose Colonel R. H. I. God dard, who is a candidate for the sem atorial election on an independent democratic platform.

An indefensible RuIinu.

The news reports of yesterday morn
ing announced that by a recent order of
the third assistant postmaster general
the printing of coupons, or order forms,
IN advertisements which appear in
newspapers and magazines would be
prohibited by the department after
March 4. 1907. We confess that we
see neither sound sense nor reason for
this ruling; on the other hand. we see
the most potent reasons why no such
ruling should have been made, reasons
which in our judgment will appeal very
strongly to Congress when it assem-
Dies next December. We do not see
what possible interest it can be to the
government whether an advertiser uses
portion Of his space for the publica-
ton of an order coupon or not. 1t
would seem as If that were the private
business of the advertiser and the pub
Usher and as if there were no tenable
ground upon which the department is
justified in butting in on prop
osition of this character.
u There has been a growing discomfort
among American publishers with the
apparent disposition of the third assist
ant postmaster general to nag and
harass with petty and unreasonable
rulings the newspaper and periodical
press Of this country, and it seems, i'm
this latest one, as if the limit had
pretty nearly been reached. The use
of space in a publication for an order
coupon does not in any way enlarge
that publication. The standard sizes
of papers and periodicals are not af-
fected in this respect by the volume of
advertising containing order coupons,
which at best is exceedingly small.
Therefore, there does not seem to be
any ground upon which the department
can Justify itself in making a ruling of
this arbitrary and unjustifiable charac-
ter. AS matter of fact, such order
coupons largely increase the payment
of first-class postage, and are thereby
instrumental in bringing substantial
increase Of revenue to the government.
If an order coupon is used at all it is
used by the payment of first-class
postage.
1t seems to us as if in making this
distinctly unreasonable. unjust and in
defensible ruling the third assistant
postmaster general has laid himself and
his department open to the legitimate
and proper criticism of every news
paper, periodical. advertiser and con-
sumner in the United States. 1t is high
time that Congress relieved the Ameri-
can public Of this factious and narrow
censorship. Such rulings may be ex-
pectod in Russia. but they are wholly
out of touch with the spirit of our
American life and the interests Of the
American public.
