About Sept. 9th, the Republican ward caucuses will be held in Hart ford, which, although the third city in population, is apparently the first in the Lake-Goodwin contest. It will evidently be the battle ground of that struggle, and upon its decision may depend the decisions of other towns. The Hartford Courant which supports Goodwin, is now expressing alarm lest Democrats be used in the Republican caucuses, presumably for Bulkeley. It predicts that if either Lake or Geod- win carries the caucuses by "coloniz- ing Democrats" the victory will cost the victor the nomination" for '.the element that tries to cheat the rest of> the party will have the party to reckon with"
 This threat will not probably deter the Bulkeley managers from coloniza- tion. if they are engaged in 1t. They are looking for accomplished facts, and having accomplished this particu- lar feat of carry Hartford, will leave the capture of the convention to the future and to other and more capable men,

 FOR FLETCHER'S C A s TO ORIA
NEW HAVEN ROAD
 IS STILL GAINING
Wage Increases Fail to Material 1 ly Lower Net Earnings Ac-
 cording to Quarterly Report

New Haven, Aug. 16-The New York,SNew Haven and Hartford Rail- road has just issued it's quarterly report ending June 30, for the fiscal year of 1910. As indicated in it's figures, the showing is an excellent one and one that marks the great earning power of the road under the trying conditions through which it has passed lately-labor' adjustments, rate warfares, and what not-for the past three months. A fine point is how far the fare increases may have offset wage increases. The figures when tabulated with the earnings of the road for the fprevious three-quar- ters of the year, will show conclu- sively it is said, that the road is cer- tain to continue on an eight per cent basis now, as 1t has for years.
 The statement follows:
 The report of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com pany for the quarter ending June 30, $15, ,898, ,798.S4, an increase of 8, 1,617, 4.77 as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1909.
 The operating expenses were $10,- Al, ,25861.. an increase of $1,775,956.H
 The net operating revenue was $6,- 457, ,540.23, a decrease of $16S, ,661.50.
 Net revenue from outside operations increased $27. .499.45.
 Taxes increased $1S4,251.o3.
 Other income increased $520, ,670, ,H.
 The gross corporate income for the quarter this year was $9, 408, ,760.9S, an increase of $195, ,257.46.
 Interest, rentals, etc., increased $14S,- 513.93.
 The net corporate income for the quarter this year was -$4, ,634, ,191. .S3 against S4,587, ,448.3O for the same quar- ter of 1909, an increase in net corpor- ate income of $46, ,743.53. z
 In connection with this statement, an expert on New Haven road mat ters says that the quarterly showing is a good one, but that the significant feature of it is the increase in op- erating expenses, which in conse- quence of the new increased wage scales, now going into effect all over the system would begin to pull hard on the earnings from now on. The past fiscal quarter and the present quarter of the road are confidently counted upon as being the best quar- ters for earnings of the year, as the summer passenger travel is then at it's height, and the New Haven road is notoriously passenger traffic road.
 All of the railroads of the country are now trying hard to make the in- crease of income greater than the ip- creased cost of operation. Thus far, he thought the New Haven road was doing this very we'll indeed.

Is to make them scapesoats for the
 unpopular policies of the party. 1t
 is an old, old device for the side
 tracking of outraged public sentiment. All of the party's sins of omission
 and commission are to be attributed
 to them, although in reality neither
 Of them has done more of evil than
 to carry the party's policies into eff
 feet. Aldrich did not carry tho poll cy of high protection beyond the linn its of past years, beyond the wishes of the great body of Republican Sen ators; Cannon did not go be- yond the precedents established by previous Speakers, nor were his acts out of consonance with the wishes of the great body of Republican Rep Ballingsr only carried into effect the reactionary policy of the Taft Administration. The re- tfrement of these three men is in- tended only to placate the Progress sives, without really abandoning an iota of the policies supported by them. It is mere sop to the popular whale.

SAW MILL BURNED.
Quantity Of Lumber Also Destroyed at
South China Village.

South China. Me. April 5.-(SpeciaD,
The saw mill at South China village
owned by Whitehouse Bros, was burn
ed this evening between and o'clock.
A quantity OF lumber. part of which
was owned by parties who had hauled
il there to be sawed and part of which
was owned by the proprietors of the
mill, was also destroyed. together with
zoe cords of slab wood
The loss could not be accurately es-
tinated this evening. but will un-
doubtedly be several thousand dollars.
Neither the mill nor the lumber were
insured.
The origin of the fire is not known.
but it is thought that a spark from the
stack may have set the sawdust about
the mill on fire. Everything was ap-
parently all right when the proprietors
and will hands left at the close of the
days work
The fire was so well under way when
discovered that nothing could be done
by the village people. who turned out
to fight it. to stop the progress of the
flames.
