HILL STILL GAINING.

Roraback Confident as Caucus Date Approaches.
 Hartford. Jan 1.-The friends of MT. Brandegee felt quite pleased that they had got into many newspapers of Fri day and Saturday confident predictions from Chairman Kenealy that their man would win easily.
 One of MT. Hills supporters re- l marked that in all his political eX- perience he had never seen MT. Kenealy
 on the successful side iii a senatorial
 contest except at the last. election, when Brandegee beat Mclean. And, by the way, as I understand it,'' he l added, Mclean only went into that fight because he was so strongly urged to by Bulkeley and Gates, who couldn't stand for Brandegee; and yet here they are working for him now, though he is very much the same fellow he was then.' Why said he, "Kenealy was for Fessenden as against HaWley in 1899, and Hawley won out: Kenealy was fer Fessenden as against Bulkeley in 1905. and Bulkeley won; and each
 time his predictions that Fessenden would win hands down were just as loud as they are now for Brandegee." "The Brandegee men, said this
 man, "have been fighting an uphill fight all along and have been steadily losing"
 J. Henry Roraback. who manages
 affairs for MT. Hill, was asked yester
 day how he felt about the result and his reply was perfectly confident"
 He said the other side might give out figures, if they chosa but he was sat isfied with what the figures showed
 and that was MT. Hills nomination.
 MT. Roraback repeated what he said
 Saturday that the wide variation be- tween his estimate and Mir. Kenealy's of the vote of Fairfield county made him all the more certain of his ground. He was sure the gentleman was all out
 of the way in that county, and, if he
 was so wrong there, the chances were
 that he was no nearer right in places
 farther from where he lives. The east ern part of the state, he said, is mani festIy for Brandegee. But the western
 part is stronger, having more votes for Hill than the east has for Brandegee, and. down through the rest of the
 state, each county is for Hill with
 greater or less majority Under such
 conditions the nomination of Hill can- not be doubted.
 Washington, Jan. 11.-Senator Bulke-
 ley left here last night for Hartford
 to see the fun" as he expressed it. The senator will watch the senatorial caucus and incidentally help his col league. Brandegee, in a quiet way.
 New Haven, Jan. n.-Speaker Banks declared yesterday to a personal and political friend that no living man was authorized to promise any committee appointment; that if any such promise has been made the person making it has been trifling with the members of the House and cannot make good any such promise. The speaker is indig- nant that any person should assume to be able to dictate or in any way prom ise to make or deliver any committee assignment.

Tn the Senate as well as the House, the President seems to have, to speak mildly, attained unpopularity. It has by a vote of 47 to 14 practically cen sured him for granting permission to the Steel Trust to absorb the Tennes- see Coal and $ron Co.,, and among the yea voters were such prominent Re- publicans as Aldrich, Bulkley, Frye, Hale and even Lodge, who has been classed heretofore as the President s n1outhpiece. Under the vote, the Ju- dietary committee is asked for an opinion as to the legality of the Presi- dents action. 4h effect, he gave per- init for violation of the antitrust law, and his reasons are really imma- terial.

FREE INFERIOR MATERNAL WHERE BRIDGEPORT STANDS

5 The first number of a. monthly pub iication, devoted to the development of interior waterways along the At tantic coast and called Bulletin or the Deeper Waterways Association, /, has appeared. Among the subscribers tos the fund for the associations sup port, one Bridgeport name appears that of AR. T. Crane, 3d. and the amount opposite his name is Sloo IL appears that the association is about to s.start a campaign of education py means of illustrated lectures in all the Atlantic Coast States.' The purpose is, as stated in a bulletin issued by the President, J. Hampton Moore, the com pletion of an inland chain Of water ways along the Atlantic Coast rom Maine to Florida, and he states that at the annual convention "even the great railroad managers were induced to ad- s,rit that sooner or later the water ways of the country must be resorted sto if industrial activity was to be en- couraged and commercial congestion relieved" MT Moore expresses gratl- feation over 'sthe awakening Of or the Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce to the business end or the proposition. This is, he adds, no one man project; it is no one State protect. it extends from the extreme northern line of the country to the extreme southern border" New Jer- sey has already begun the construc- ton of an inland waterway along the coast from Bay head to Cape May.
 The resolutions adopted by the con- yention declare that all necessary pro- motion should be given to the projects for opening a channel between Long Island Sound and Massachusetts Bay and that the business interests Of the seaboard require the removal, at the earliest possible moment, of the nat sural Instructions to 8 free interior deep water route from Massachusetts Bay to Rev West along the lines indicat- ed by existing canals and by surveys made under the auspices of the Gov ernraent of the United States
 Amidst all this agitation for an in- terior waterway, including Long Island Sound as one of, it's most important parts and promising great benefits to all Sound ports, what do we find Bridgeport doing?
 Actually preparing, through the dom inant party to allow grab of very material harbor area, and it's business organizations apparently acquiescing!
 It is new departure for Bridgeport which has long and proudly claimed superior enterprise and front stand ing in all progressive movements.

Tn 1896, there was a loud howl over ssthe forty-six cent silver dollar" Now we have, according to political econo- r1ists. a gold dollar which is worth but 56 cents and which, if the heavy production of gold continues, is like " to be worth still less, perhaps even down to the 46 cent silver dollar of 1896 The valuation is based upon the in- creased prices of commodities-that is, tho dollar will now buy but 56 cents worth of them, instead of 100 cents worth as was the case before gold pro- duction increased so heavily.

RUMOR OF RAILWAY SALE.
Story of Transfer of Control of D. {
 B. Road Denied.
(Danbury News, Jan. g.


 There was revival today of rumors to the effect that a transfer of the controlling interest in the Danbury & Bethel Street Railway Company was imminent and, the story was given ad- ditional color by the presence here to- day of representatives of outside par ties interested in railway affairs.
 It is known that more than one move has been made during the past few months to secure control of the Danbury & Bethel road and that cap- italists have their eyes upon other pub- lie utilities in this locality. Bridgeport interests connected with one of the projected lines from Bridgeport to Danbury, charter for which already exists, are said to be among those who are willing to make an offer for the local property.
 A representative of the Danbury & Bethel road said this afternoon that no sale of the company's property had been made, nor was there reason for any rumor that such sale was about to be consummated.

The Farmer published Saturday the major details of a land project of town-wide scope and exceptional nov city, from its Bedding correspondent. At first glance, it seems utopian and impossible of execution; on full con- sideration, it is found not wholly inn practicable, if handled by the right person The main purposes are to assure the location of desirable citi- zers only, and to preserve the towns scenic beauties. Bedding may already be called literary centre; the project In question would make it more so. Whether the proposed methods could be carried into successful effect, is a matter of some doubt.
