EUROPE HAPPY
Not Worrying About War Talk Step Not Aggressive iu
 Opinion in Berlin
THE GENERAL VIEW

H $ s
 London, Oct 4.-"Party politics. is the general interpretation here of the discussion over the propriety of send ing the American battleship fleet to the Pacific. The English and all the European papers print the speeches of President Roosevelt and War Sec retary Taft and they all reproduce comments of the Americn papers which are attacking the battleship project. Few English papers com ment on the matter in any form, and those say nothing notew orthy.
 The stock exchange, where premoni- tions of war in any quarter of the globe are felt first, has not shown any reflection of the war talk" in some of the American papers. Diplo- mats generally believe that Japn wishes to avoid war and consider the probability of war to be small unless the newspapers fan the two peoples into hostility. f

TAKING OFF TRAINS.
Business Mems Association May Take
 Some Action,

As secretary of the Waterbury Busi- ness Mems association, Attorney John H. Cassidy stated this afternoon that it was up to that body to take immediate action toward stopping the railroad company from taking off so many trains as it proposes to do next Sunday morning.
 MT Cassidy said that the associa- ton ought to do something in the matter before the trains are taken off, as it would be harder to have them restored once they are stopped running. He did not think the rail- road company was using the city fair ly in view of the immense business it does with the manufacturers here, and it did not look like an endeavor to put the city on the main track; quite the contrary, it looked like put ting the town on narrow gauge sid ing
 Ralph N Blakeslee is president of the association, but he could not be found. It is the general opinion of the business people of the city that the railroad company will see its mistake soon after it has removed the trains that are scheduled to be taken off next Sunday. Everybody was talking about the project to-day and it is very likely that the Busi ness Mems association will be heard from on it very soon.

Berlin Takes Calm View.

Berlin, Oct 4.-German official circles are disposed to take a calm view of the sending of the American battleship. leet to the Pacific ocean, and do not consider that this step is an aggressive one against Japan or likely to lead to war. German ofti- cials are convinced that neither the United States nor Japan is disposed to allow the controvery to reach a stage where its settlement by force would be the only recourse. On the contrary, the opinion in authorita- tive quarters is that latterly the re- lations between the two countries have improved, and it is remarked that the recent attacks on Japanese subjects at Vancouver is liable to make Japan more willing, to come to terms with the United States, since a contrary course might tend to draw Great Britain to a syml pathetic atti- tude with the United States against Japan.

Failure of Salt Market.

New York, Oct A tacit under standing has been reached between the International Salt company, known as the salt trust, and certain inde- pendent manufacturers in regard to regulating the future course of the market for evaporated salt, accord ing to statements made in well in- formed quarters, says the Journal of Commerce to-day. This action was taken, it is said, in consequence of the higher cost of labor and supplies, as well as because of the over-pro- duction of salt As a result of the understanding prices have recently been advanced 50 cents to $1 per ton from the low figures prevailing a month ago, when sharp price cutting was in progress. Incidentally a pol icy of retrenchment has been inau- gurated and various firms have re- duced their working forces.

HURLED BRICKS
Forty Policemen Were Wounded i0 Rioting Which Took Place .e in Calcutta
POLICE ARE TO BLAME

Calcutta, Oct 4.-The rioting here, caused by seditious agitation during which about forty policemen were wounded Tuesday night, was renew ed yesterday evening in a number of streets of northern Calcutta. Stu dents and hoodlums assembled on the roofs of houses and in the roadways and pelted passersby with bricks, Europeans being especially singled out for attack.

There was no loss of life, but many persons sustained se- were contusions and scalp wounds and many street cars were damaged.

CARUSO WEPT
The Big Tenor of New York Monkey House Fame Didn't
 Like Treatment Received.

London, Oct 4.-Despatches from Vienna report that Caruso, the tenor, had such a trying experience in Buda- pest that it spoiled his voice during a recent performance. He was en- gagged to appear Tuesday night as "Rhadames" in Aida. Before the per- .formance he learned that the seats had not been booked, presumably be- cause of the high prices demanded. This indifference to his skill and fame piqued him, it is stated, and ne asked that the performance De postponed. He was told that this was impossible and he thereupon re- luctantly appeared. He sang indif- ferently, much to the disappointment of the audience, and the applause meted out to him was naturally limited.
 When in his dressing room after the performance, it is stated that he burst into tears, declaring that he had never experienced such treatment in his life.

.MoRMONS ARE FIRED
Americans Who Went Over 10 Germany and Tried 10 Spread
 Their Propaganda.

Dresden, Saxony, Oct 4.-Three American Mormons have, been ex- pelled from Germany as the result of persisting despite of1ciol warnings prohibiting them from spreading their propaganda. in conducting river baptisms and making converts, whereupon they were arrested and summarily taken under guard to the frontier. ,-.&
 The imperial authorities decided in 1903 that 1t was not desirable to allow Mormon agents to continue their activity in Germany, but owing to the representations of the Ameri- can embassy in Berlin and Dt Chief Missionary Cannon, whose field of activity was central Europe, with headquarters at Berlin, the foreign office allowed the Mormons d month in which to settle their affairs and leave the country. There were at that time 150 Mormon missionaries in the various German states and the grounds for their expulsion wero teachings contrary to public morality and social order. It was also agreed with MT Cannon that all the Nor. mons who were American citizens should discontinue proselyting in Germany. The German converts, of whom there were several thousands. and who continued to follow their new faith under native pastors, were subjected to various police hin drances.. MT Cannon moved his cen tral European headquarters to Switz- erland and, 1t is understood, has since returned to Salt Lake City. IL is now presumed that his successor is re-entering the German field for Mormon missionary work from which formerly mauy women converts were sent to Utah.
