There Were some long faces about town yesterday after the election, but the majority of the people were so- premely happy at tho‘result. There has been stealing for some time that the older men in politics who had been perennial candidates for some office or other should step out and givethe younger fellows a‘ chance, The caucus was so packed that it was impossible for the Republicans to nominate stronger men as there are a large number of Democrats registered on the party lists. The fight has become so serious that legal measures may be taken against the Democrats, who have voted out of party In the caucuses. The Stamford Advocate prints the following: The Democratic victory was won by Republican votes, More than 100 Republicans pasted the name of Schrader over Lounsbury. Why? The feeling was general that Mr. Lounsbury had had all the preforment at the hands of his party that he was entitled to. The expression at the polls, Monday. ought to satisfy him that such is the fact. Last year young Mr. Raymond made the mistake of packing the Republican caucus with 100 Democrats and secured a. nomina- tion, only to be defeated by indignant Republicans. This year the Republi- can caucus was fair and orderly, and lmmsbury's nomination was regular. How er. he used his influence to de- feat aymond. and in turn Raymond is supposed to haveworked for his defeat. Nevertheless, the 100 Repub' ,llcans were not fighting Lounsbury to please Raymond. but for reasons above statud.‘ _ Darien Republican. WESTPORT.

He bad financial assistance from some of the wealthy summer residents In this work. Mr. Schrader has views of his own on the matter of roadbuildlng. He does not believe in taking advantage of‘the aid offered by the State for the construc- tion of permanent roads. “Theres too much rede tape to this Stateroad business,“ said last night. "It’s an Inspector afor this and an inspector for that andendless rig- marole. I'd much rather do my own road~building, relying wholly on the ap- propriations of the town meeting and the aid of our wealthier residents." lt would seem that the town meet. ing was not In a particularly generous mood with regard to the maintenace and repair of the higtways. of the town, it appropriated but 83,000 for that purpose, Other appropriations made were: A sum not to exceed $1,- 000 for the town's share of the on panes of erecting a new bridge ‘in conjuction with the towu of Stamford over the Noroton River at Maple ave- nue in Glenbrook,and 8400 for the arse» tion of a bridge over the creek. on No roton avenue.

Seventy more ballots were cast than In 1903. The total number of ballots cast were 463. which is more than 77 per cent. of the registered list.

The Japanese are said to make no secret of this organization. document- ary proof of which is said to have been procured by the Russians do the shape of a letter addressed by the Japanese gener,al Vitche, to "the chief of the Chinese volunteer militia. " MUKDEN Oct 3.—-A Russian cor- respondent of the Associated Press. who has just returned from Major General Mistchenko’s division, with whom he has been since September 24, says: There have been constantly recurr- ing skirmishes in which the Russians have regularly defeated the Japanese. although the engagements have never been very large. The last advance witnessed was on October 2, when the Japanese made several tentative move- ments but were driven back on every occasion by the Russian cavalry. In this lighting Captain Lopekhin Che-riorogoff was wounded and also a few Cossacks The Japanese lost one olficcr, several privates and some horses Fresh developments are now expected. The correspondent was with Major General Mistchenko‘s division during the engagement reported October 1 near Toumytsa, north of Yentai. The Japanese there Occupied an entrenched position on Tournytsa Hill but the Russian artillery, opening fire at 10 ociock in the morning. shelled them out and the Japanese lied after slight rtsistance Cossacks galloped up and occupied the position. The Japanese were followed to within two-thirds of a mile of Yenini station and the Run slans came in contact with them twice during the day. They tried to cur»? round the Russians by means of a turning movement, but supports came up and the Japanese were beaten off. The Russians dually retired slowly to , the north having collected informa- tion as to the whereabouts of the Jap- nurse and making no attempt to hold the positions gained. ST PETERSBURG.
