To Get Men From England.
Montreal, Aug. 11.-While no official
statement has come from the Canadian
Pacific railway in regard to it the an
nouncement was made this morning
that the company is preparing to bring
several hundred mechanics from Eng
land to take the places of men who
went on strike last week. Their agents
in London, have. it is reported, been
notified to secure. as many hrst-claSs
mechanics as can be secured and send
them without delay. There is nothing
in the immigration laws of Canada to
prevent this provided that every such
imported mechanic has at least $50.
The company's officials are today pro-
viding additional means for housing,
feeding and protecting strike breakers
in all of the cities involved in the
strike Tents and cars are being sent
for shelter.
There is no thought of compromise
and the company will fight the strike
to the bitter end" said one of them

MORE STOLEN HORSES
Five Have Already Been Located
 by Local Department.

Already the detective department have located five horses that were stolen from New York by the gang of horse thieves who have been working the game for the past several weeks. Two more horses were nailed yester- day which in addition to the two nabbed in Middlebury Tuesday night make four. Five horses were ship ped to this city but the fifth 1t is un- derstood was later sent back to New York and sold there.
 Samuel Grossman who hired the animals in New York has been ar rested but his case will not perhaps be heard for few days or until all the evidence has been collected. He is charged with horse stealing. Imme- diately after hiring the horses from William Roster, jr, he shipped them to New Haven under the name of $. Rosenberg. From the Elm City they were driven to Waterbury.
 Rosenberg 1t appears has been one of District Attorney Jerome's stool pigeons, and only a few days ago re- ported to Inspector McCaffery that the police were paying no attention to the cases which he reported.
 The local police have by no means completed their investigations as yet. John Filan of New York, who owned the horses recovered last night, was in this city to-day and had long talk with the detectives. His animals were sold at Sackett's auction sale yesterday afternoon. One of them was found in Sackett's stable on South Main street last evening. The other was bought by Edward Vogeli of Bethany, who works in the Wa terbury Clock factory. He, it is un- derstood, paid $75 for the animal. The police expect to make some ar rests here shortly in connection with the cases.

DIDN'T PAY FARE
James J, CoUnoIly Was Given
 $lO and Costs.

James J. Connolly, from nowhere in particular, was a striking exam pie of the old story that when man pleads his own case he has fool for a client. Connolly was before Judge Peasley in the city court to- day charged with defrauding the N. Y., N. H. and II. R. R. Go of 30 cents, the fare from Bristol to Wa terbury. Connolly made lot of fun, but he will have to pay dearly for it.
 Conductor Sexton testified that he found Connolly On the steps of the last platform of bis train which got to Waterbury about 11:35 last night from Hartford. Connolly had neither money nor ticket nor any thing as a security that ne would pay his way on reaching Waterbury. Connolly then. questioned the con- ductor.
 Have you the right to accept watches from passengers for their fare?" he asked
 ''If they wish to give them as se- curity for their fare when they have no ticket" was the reply.
 You have done this before?" asked Connolly.
 Sure" said the conductor.
 And who gave you that right?"
 ''The law and the railroad" re- piled the conductor, who was as cool as the proverbial cucumber, while the accused was as excited as could be.
 Connolly pondered a moment after the conductors last answer and then exclaimed bravely, That's all," just as lawyer would do.
 Connolly then took the stand and said that he paid his fare but did not have ticket. He could not ex- plain this contradictory statement. He said he bought a ticket two depots above Bristol, but could not recall the name of the place, and if his honor the judge would mention it he no doubt would remember it
 Judge Peasley seemed to think a while and said:
 Was it Naugatuck?"
 That's it, your honor; that's it, exclaimed Connolly, evidently now at peace with himself if not with the law, while over his pale face there passed a look of absolute content ment. while those inside the railing almost laughed outright
 ''I guess that's all, Said the court. "Ten dollars and costs"
 And Connolly resumed his place in the pen. He denied that he was q pigeon stool for District Attorney Jerome of New York or that his name was Smith or Brown.

EXTENDING FIRE LIMITS.
The Public Will soon Bc Given Hcnr-
 ing un Matter.

The proposed extension Of the fire limits is a matter in which the pub lie is deeply concerned, and especial Iy people who own unsleyeloped property in the districts to be n- cluded. It requires careful eonsid- eration and should be approached and handled clear through with due respect to the rights of the inii- vidual property owner and those of the public. The recommendation Of the board of safety covering this matter has been referred to a com- mittee Of three tJ be appointed by the board of aldermen. Many cl1im that the committee shOuit be larger and hope the thing will not be dis posed of without a public hearing. These are good suggestions and If the aldermen think well of shem they sill have an opportunity to make the committee larger Monday night. Of course the public hearing will be held anyway.

BUY NEW DOG TAGS.
Old Ones Marked 1907 Will Be Use.
 less This Year,

Owners of dogs may be surprised to learn that the tags which now adorn their pets neckties will soon have to be discarded and replaced by new ones, costing a dime. Every body thought that the tag was good while it remained on the collar. but this Is not so. The only difference between the new and the old pattern is that one is marked 1907" and the other 1908" Somebody circu- lated a story to the effect that any body who returned the old tag to the town clerk would be given a new one in exchange for it. but there is no truth in it. The 1908 tags will cost ten cents and people will be at liberty to do what they please with the old ones.

THE FIRE GONG.
Missed By Drivers of Vehicles in Time
 of Fire.

One might think the big gong that warned the public of fires was now but a memory, but this is by no means the case. On the contrary it is still green in the minds of thought full people who cling to the hope that the board of safety will yet see the error of it's way in putting it out of commission and have it installed again. When that gong screamed teamsters and drivers of vehicles of every description got out of the way, but now they know nothing about the presence of the engines until they are almost upon them and then they do not know which way to turn. That g o'clock whistle as 1t was familiarly termed was a good thing and the de- partment of safety would confer a great favor upon the public by re- turning to the plan so long in vogue of warning people that the fire en- zines were out.

There is every indication that the opening of the series at Bennett park tomorrow will be under the most au- spicious circumstances.

Great Britain Alone Gan Make a Confer
 enCe Possible
Russia Takes the Initiative In the Effort to Clear Up the Near Eastern Trouble Before It Breaks Into an Armed Conflict.

Paris, Oct 9.-The fate of an inter- the Balkan crisis depends upon the answer given by Great Britain to M. IswolsEy, the Russian minister on foreign affairs, who is proceeding to London. France is confident that if a program can be arranged a diplomat , ic way can be found by which Austria Hungary will participate, and after this no difficulty need be expected.
 Germany and Italy are now believed to be in direct negotiation with Con stantinople and Vienna. A recognition of Austro Hungarian rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina would remove Austria HUngary's only objection to be repre- scented at the conference.
 France, while sympathizing with Russia's desire to open the DardaneIles to her warships, supports the English views that the conference should be limited to the regulation of the exist ing situation by obtaining cOmpensa- ton for Turkey instead of at her ex- pense.
 If an agreement on a program for participation by the siSnatories of the Berlin treaty is assured, Russia will issue an invitation and the conference probably will be held at Brussels NJ. IswOisky asked France to take the iniative in summoning the conference, but this the French government de- clined to do.

CONSERVATION
 OF RESOURCES
Engages Attention Trans
 Mississippi Congress
Delegates Engage In Recrim- ination Over Parcels Post Measure.

San Francisco. Oct. 9.-The session of the Trans Mississippi Commercial congress held today was devoted largely to addresses covering a wide variety of subjects and the deliber. ations of the committee on resoIu- | tiOns which took action upon a num- Der of important questions and to the entertainment of delegates in the form of automobile and trolley tours of the city.
 Practically all of the contests be- fore the committee on resolutions are in effect directly or indirectly. over the expressed policy of the national administration in matters relating to the conservation of resources, and in some instances it is expected the controversies will be carried to the floor of the congress tomorrow morn ing when the delayed report of the committee is presented for considera- tion.
 One of the most important of these relates to the disposal of water rights suitable for power development, and and a resolution introduced by Frank Short of Fresno dealing with this subject was so amended before the committee as to defeat the proposal to grant to originators of power pro- jects the rights and privileges that are now accorded to irrigationists.
 Former Governor G. A Sparks. a member of the national commission on the conservation of resources, op- posed Short in the hearing and it l,,t T not endorse the granting of perpetual rights whether located in or out of forest reserves and should not confer the right of disposal upon the state in which they are located.
 Late in the day the session was ended by an appeal made on the floor by Edward Nj. Berwick, president of the California Postal Progress league, who accused the committee on reso- lutions of sharp practice in incom- passing the defeat of his resolution providing for an endorsement of a parcels post measure. Berwick was opposed by Col. H. D. Loveland of California. who chanced to be pre- siding and who declared that Berwick himself had been guilty of sharp practice in making a point of no quorum after his resolution was vot- ed down It was finally agreed that fthe parcel post measure which is supported by Postmaster Arthur G. Fisk of San Francisco. should be passed on to the congress for a gen eral expression of opinion.
 c. A. RuleofsOn, representing the San Francisco chamber of commerce. presented a set of resolutions adopted last Monday by the Tri-S State con ference, representing fourteen com mercial bodies in Washington. Oregon and California. He supported the resolutions in a lengthy address in which he incorporated the substance of a letter written to Secretary of the Navy Metcalf. calling the atten- tion of that department to the neces- sity of improving the navy yards on the Pacific coast. The letter requests that a board of naval engineers be required to investigate and report at once upon the steps necessary to
