St Petersburg, April 23. A minor is
current in this city tha't the Japanese
sustained lieavy losses while attempt
ing a lanuing near the mouth of the
Talu river. According to Athe report,
which Is said to be based upon a pri
vate telegram from Port Arthur, the
Japanese lost 7,000 men. An absolute
official statement has not yet been ob
tained. St Petersburg, April 23. In spite
of the reports from Seoul and Toklo
that the Russians are massing 50,000
men to resist the Japanese crossing
the Yalu river It can be asserted with
great positiveness that an obstinate
obstruction of the enemy's crossing
Is no part of General Kuropatldn's
tactics. The Russians intend that the
Japanese shall have the river behind
them before giving battle in force.
Kuropatkin's plans in this respect are
fully approved here. Of course the
Russians will do all in their power to
render the crossing as difficult and
expensive as possible, but , the first
decisive engagement, will occur in
Manchuria, where the Russians be
lieve they will have all the advantage
of position. . . '
The Japanese fleet is again reported
to be off Port Arthur, but the report
is not official. ,
Paris, April 23. Information reach
ing the highest quarters here tends to
ponfirm the report that, a rather seri
ous engagement has occurred on the
Yalu river, Involving a reverse to a
.Japanese column, but the Information
lacks ppsitiveness land the ; details)
' therefore are given under reserve, al
though credited in " influential quar?
'ters. It is said that this . Is not the
minor operation mentioned In Viceroy
Alexieff's report of April 22.
The correspondent -of the. Associat
ed, Press here Is informed that China
hag taken quite a definite pro-Japan-ese
stand within the lasts few days.
If is said this may .involve serious
consequences to the relatons between
Russia and China. China's 'action,
lit is noted, follows the - report that
Viceroy Alexieff had requested the re
tirement of the Chinese troops. :
It is Uso reported that the Chinese
minister at St Petersburg will be re
called. Although the latter report i
denied th-e is reason t believe that
It has some (foundation.
St Petersburg, April 23 (6 a. m.)
The Itusski Slavo prints a letter from
an official in the French secret service
which reports the presence of numer
ous Japanese spies in France, well pro
vided with money. They shadow Rus
sians and watch the shipyards. Espe
cially do they endeavor to ascertain
the exact date of the departure of the
Baltic fleet and the points en route at
which it wil coal, v
The Novosti states that the Russians
should feel gratified at the strategical
achievement of the naval squadron,
which Imposed caution upon the Jap
anese operations and gave Russia time
to throw a preponderating military
force into Manchuria. The most favor
able time, the Novosti continues, for
Japanese military operations. has
passed. .
A letter written by Colonel Agapeef,
nn officer of marines on me Petropav-
lovsk, who was drowned, describes the
routine upon the battleship. "TVe
rise," he wrote, "at 6 o'clock, learn the
news of the night and drink tea. At S
we attend colors and then read the pa
pers In hope of obtaining Information
of the intentions of the enemy. After
wards we go to a 'meeting at head
quarters and discuss questions of de
fense. Lunch comes at. 1 o'clock. Af
terwards we either visit the city or
transact our own affairs. Dinner is at
6 . o'clock, when rumors of all kinds
circulate."
If reports of the apnearance f the
enemy are persistent, the letter states,
the" tornedo boats are sent out' anil
upon these craft falls the hardest ser
vice of the-war. When Grand Duke,
Cyril arrived in Port Arthur he was
given command of a torpedo boat.
The ships in the harbor, it is stated,
were connected with the" others and
with the shore by. telephones. .
New York, April 23. International
banking houses in this city have re
ceived intimations that the Russian
government is on the point of making
its proposed $100,000,000 loan if it can
be found that such a loan would meet
with favor among continental bankers
and those of England and the United
States. Tentative . and indirect in
quiries have been made of London and
New York bankers to ascertain its
, probable reception in these two places
If the loan is brought out.

FREE DELIVERY.
Union City People Are Vigorously
Protesting Against It.
(Special to Democrat)
Washington, April 23. The order of
the postomce department extending
free delivery from the Naugatuck
rwtoffw t.iirt iMv tT, .v'8inla and Georgetown; the west by
Uri a hnn,. f i.nn rvi.
Sperry has been overwhelmed !
man
with telegrams from citizens of Union
City protesting against the abolishing 1
of the Union City postomce. It is ,
claimed at the postomce department, . ; Th two and four-mile relay
however, that the original petition for races for ibe ,American championship
this service contained a request tor,hre the chief events. Harrard, Yale,

vor of making Union City a station,
with authority to 'issue money orders,
and sell stamps The only difference
would be that no letters could be mail
ed or received at the office, but to make
up for this there would be two uenver
ies a day and two collections.
The order has, however, created such
a furore that It has been rescinded for
the present by the department. The
result will probably be that Union
City will not get free delivery for
many years to come, unless some
agreement can be reached. The re
port of the inspector Is strongly
against free delivery If. Union City is
not made a sub-station,; and his report
is decidedly against the carriers start
ing from the Union City postofflce. In
all matters of this kind the department
will follow the report of the inspector,
but they have agreed to wait and see
what the people really want
This Is the second time within a few
years that an attempt has been made
to secure , free deliverv for Union
City. The first' time it was refused
outright, and it looks now as though
the attempt would fail again.
The postofflce department has issued
orders to establish a new postofflce at
North . Hartland. The mails will be
sent over to the new office from Hart
land, a distance of three miles. Fred
ij. Dutton has been appointed nost-
master of the new office, and his com
mission was issued by the department
to-day.
The senate has passed the river and
harbor bill, with all the amendments,
and the bill was returned to the house
this - morning. The " senate ""bill as
passed Includes the, two amendments
of Senator Piatt for New Haven and
Bridgeport , harbors, at is stated to
day, . however, that the bill will not be
considered further by the house. Mr
Burton, the chairman of the commit
tee on rivers and harbo' s, is very mue'i
put out over the action of the senate
in adding a large number of a'mend
lnents. As he feels to-day he will re
fuse to call the bill up for a confer
ence. If he does not change his mind
the bill will die a natural death.

TALKED IN SLEEP
A Han Who Murdered Em
ployer Told About it in
His Dreams.
Chicago, April 23. A dispatch to
the Inter-Ocean from Rock Rapids,
la, says: Upon the witness stand in
the trial of Charles Rocker for mur
der, the woman he called his wife has
told how the man, disturbed in his
sleep by recollections of the crime, en
acted, before 'her the manner of his
slaying ker former husband, August
SchroderJ near Doon, la, June 30, 1900.
Rocker was a hired man on Schrod
er's farm and after Schroder's death
he married the widow and obtained
(Schroder's property. It was shown
that he has a wife, living in Minnesota
from whom he has not been divorced,
thus invalidating the marriage to Mrs
Schroder, and in this way allowing
her to testify against him.
"One day last September he fractur
ed the skull of my boy by throwing a
wrench at him," Mrs Schroder testi
fied. "That night he came in at 2
o'clock. He slept uneasily. 1 Sudden
ly he sat up and struck me in the face.
His eyes were shut tight, f
"Then he leaned close to my face
and said in a hoarse whisper, 'August,
now I've got you.' I was terribly
frightened and got out of bed and
waited till he awoke. Then I asked
him why he said that. 'v He told me he
had killed my husband, who I had al
ways believed had committed suicide.
"He told me that when they went to
Doon, June 29, 1900, he bought some
chloroform and . put it and morphine
in whiskey. When they got home Au
gust was taken sick and then Rocker
strangled him and hung his body in
the barn, where I found it. '
"When he told me this he put a re-,
volver at my head and told me if 1
ever told he would surely kill me as
he did August."
CO G BARN DANCE.
Biggest Event of the Season at the
Armory Last Night.
The streets about the center of i the
city were thronged last night "with rus
tic, characters, all wending their way
towards one place, the armory, where
ye foot soldiers of Company G were
giving a regular old f ashicned barn
dance. It was a gala night for the rus
tic Reubens and the country lasses,
who filed into the armory in streams.
They were attired in all kinds of cos
tumes most appropriate for the occa
sion, and they imitated the hayseeds in
a fine manner. The city . maidens vand
young men who did not dress for the
occasion also spent a pleasant evening
in observing the different costumes, in
watching the queer antics and in try
ing to make out where their friends
were... -The last was a difficult task,
for their frien- were attired in such
a fashion that it was well nigh impos
sible to tell them unless "they forgot
themselves for a moment and spoke In
tfieir natural voice.
The barn dance was an innovation
for Waterbury. Affairs of a similar
nature have been given here privately,
but last night's dance may properly
be termed the first public one which
has been given here. The innovation
was a magnificent success. The arm
ory was crowded with people. It was
scarcely large enough to accommodate
all The decorators had transformed
the hall so that it had all the appear
ance of a country place. Corn husks
and stacks of straw formed the decora
tions. "On a platform surrounded by
bundles of straw the orchestra ren
dered music for the old fashioned barn
dances. The fiddler was there and did
excellent work. '
In one part of the hall sweet cider
and pumpkin pie were sold. The sup
ply of ooth was exhausted long before
the dance was over. In the opposite
comer there was a stand where the
chickens were raffled. This raffle was
well patronized.
About 9 o'clock the grand march be
gan. About seventy-five couples took
part in it. The judges Sheriff William
Gillette. George Stone and Benjamin
Chatfleld, selected the following as
prize winners: - Gentlemen, first. Mat
thew Doyle: second, hiernarn uovie;
ladles. Miss Bersinger. Miss MaryBren-
nan ' There were a few otners Besides
these. After th allotment of prizes
dancing was enloyed until 1 o'clock.
Persons not -attired in costumes were
not flowed on thf floor until 10:30.
One of the pissraflie'1 off was won by
Janitor Lousrhlln of the City hall, while
the othpr was won by ticket 7.
Th affair was a grand success. . Ev
ervbodv was well pleased with it and
pniovefl a srood time. The committee
in'cbarere deserves much credit for the
fine manner in which they made tne
different arrangements.
