Towri Caucus To—nght.
The Republican Town Caucus is to
be held this evening, for putting in
nomination one Selectman and candi-
dates for the various minor 0111ch of
the Town. South Norwalk Republi-
cans set the pace last night, for munici-
pal elevation and reform, and the First
District will be wise if it follows upon
the same lines, in its selection of can-
didates. '
At the City Caucus last. evening, Mr.
Adams, perhaps the most active and
energetic of all the Councilmen, was
placed in nomination for Mayor, Mayor
Keeler having insisted upon declining
a renominationn Mr. Charles F. Tris-
tram was selected to fill the vacancy
caused by the advancement 'cf Coun-’
cilmen Adams, and his name will decid-
edly strengthen the ticket.
If equal sagacity and wisdom is exer-
ciSied at the Town Caucus to-night, the,
republicans of Norwalk will have to
make no apologies for the personnel of
its ticket.
pscar vs. Brad.
There will be an extra car run from
the Washington street bridge to the
Town House, Thursday evening. to ac-
commodate those wishing to attend the
the Republican caucus. The car Will
leave the bridge at 7.25, and the East

For President in ’96.
Yesterday the New York Democratic
Convention ' at Saratoga nominated
David B. Hill for Governor, Daniel N.
' Lockwood for Lieutenant-Governor and
William J. Gaynor for Judge of the
Court of Appeals. 'As U. S. Senator
Hill has twice been elected Governor of
the Empire state and is known to be
the bitter enemy of President Cleve-
land, the placing of him in the guber-
natorial race yesterday can have no
other purpose in view than that of en-
tering him thus early for the Presiden-
tial race in 1896. It was a nomination
for the Presidency rather than for Gov'
ernor and as the Tribune truly says:
“What has the Governorship of itself
to offer to an ambitious leader of Na-
tional reputation who has held it twice ?
It is no longer a'goal’; it can only be a
stepping-stone to the Presidency. The
same tongue which lampooned Grover
Cleveland as popular every day of the
year except Election Day has named
David B. Hill as the only Democrat
who can overcome the majority of
100,000 against Maynard. If Senator
Hill can accomplish a stupendous mir-
acle like that, nothing can prevent his
nomination for the Presidency in 1896.
All Wrong.
The republican caucuses for the
. election of delegates to the congress-
ional, senatorial, county and probate
conventions Will be held in City Hall
ton-marrow night. The congressional
Wlll be the first of the conventions to-
be held. It will take place next Tues-
day, probably in Norwalk.—Danbury
News. ‘ ' "
There seems to be a strange fatality
among the newspapers for blundering
. over the Congressional Convention.
The esteemed Sentinel and News gave
it as to occur on Sunday, Oct. 7th, and
now the Danbury News says it will,
probably be held here in Norwalk.
However, there will be no mistake as to
Hill’s nomination. "

Gen. Olmstead said that a good be-

been in hopes that the entire old ticket
would be renominated and if so nominc
ated he felt sure that the action would
receive the approval of not only the
entire Republican party, but also that
of many of the Democratic party and
that the nomination would be ratified
on Monday next. He also paid a com-
pliment to the present Mayor whom he
said he believed had modestly with-
drawn because he thought Mr. Adams
deserving of the first place on the
ticket. He presented the name of J.

ability. After the battle had been in prog-
ress for a short time the Chinese fleet a1-
tered- its formation. The Japanese fleet
kept steaming in a circle around the Chi-
nese.
“Suddenly the Japanese withheld their
fire, but after a quarter of an hour had
elapsed resumed the attack and poured a
hot fire into the enemy. The Chinese
Armstrong cruiser went out of line, con-
trary to orders, steamed alongside of one
of the Japanese ships and sunk her.
The Armstrong Cruiser Sunk.
The Chinese cruiser was sunk shortly
afterward. About this time two Chinese
warships which had been on guard up the
Yalu river, hearing the firing, joined the
fleet and took part in the battle. This in-
creased the , number of Chinese ships en-
gaged to ten. '
A short time afterward another Chinese
ship was sunk and two others ran ashore,
caught fire and were abandoned. After
six hours’ fighting the Japanese fleet
withdrew. ' .
The Chinese ships followed them, but
were unable to overtake them. It is pre«
sumed that the Japanese ships retired be-
cause they had become short of ammuni-
tion.
The damage to the Chlh-Yuen is chiefly
in her woodwork, which 'is nearly all
burned awy. She also received about 200
shot holes in her sides, mostlyvfrcm ma-
chine guns. Nonc of the shots pierced her
armor more than three inches.
The Chen-Yuen has 120 shot holes in
her sides; and is generally in the same
condition as the Chili-Yuan. When the
Ting-Yuan, the Chen-Yuen’s sister ship,
arrived at Port Arthur she was three feet
down by the head. , ,
It will require two months to make
the necessary repairs to the Chinese fleet. ’
One Japanese ship was certainly sunk and
two others are supposed to have gone to
the bottom.
Jups Maneuver-ed Well.
The maneuvering of the Japanese ships
was excellent. All their signals were ex-
ecuted by flag and. were promptly an-
swered throughout the battle. The Chi-
nese ships bad scarcely any ammunition
left.
lug serious, and trouble is expected there.
Foreigners are openly insulted in the
streets by soldiers, whose officers make no
attempt to stop them. Japanese were
ships are cruising on the Shun-Tong
coast, presumably looking for Chinese-
transports and cruisers. The foreign resi-
dents ot Tlen-tsin are forming a volunteer
corps for their own protection, fearing an
attack by the Chinese. Three of the Chi-
nese Merchant company’s steamshi s have
been sold to a German firm. Ari 6 lot has
been issued announcing that the celebra<
tion of the dowager empress’ birthday has
been postponed, and that the money col-
lected for the purpose of the celebration
will be devoted to war expenses.
