The Big Reduction in the Price of Fun erals will be wei come news to the People.
The New Move which the Wa terbury Furniture Co. is mak- ine on East Main Street.

When the Waterbury Furniture com pany started business many years ago prices were very high in the furniture trade. The first move We made was to do A little figuring. and we thought If We could increase the volume of trade by re- ducing the prices which then prevailed It would be a good thing for the public and our net profits would not be decreased We did so, and how we'll we have sue ceeded the public know. Now ln our new quarters on East Main street, We have been looking the field ever again. We md that We have plant several times larger than the one we formerly occupied. and the cost of running it is less by several thousand dollars a year. The cost of hay ing ten men working on Field street load ing and reloading goods from the depot to the storehouse and then again to the stores, made an endless amount of expense and kept our help constantly divided All this Is now done away with. In our present quarters We use just what room We need to carry on our business, and the Test Is rented for livery business, storage, etc All our help are working together, and when we need a man We don't have to So two blocks away to get one. We see now where it will not cost us any more to run our Undertaking business than it does to run the Carpet, Crockery. Stove or any of our other departments. It will cost no more for help, for horses. for rent. ahd our new quarters give us this advantage with out any extra cost. Now. what We have done in the Furniture we can do in the Un- dertaking department. and we propose to run it at the sane margin of profits as Carpets, Crockery. or Stoves, etc. This Is a move which no house has ever made be- fore. and WE HAVE PLUCK ENOUGH TO MAKE THE VENTURE. This plan will go into operation at once. The big reductions in the price of funerals will be a welcome boon to the people. The Dis trict Telegraph Office will answer all night calls at , East Main street. and We will re- SD Jnd quickly.

rived at Korea have been prevented by the Japanese from landing troops. It is re- ported that the Japanese artillery sank several of them.
 Tho Japanese and Chinese officials here have received many dispatches from their home governments While declining to say much, even of the tenor of these dis. patches, the officials contend that the prus- pcct of an agreement between China and Japan remains satisfactory.
 An official Statement.
 In tho house of commons Sir Edward Grey, under secretary, was questioned concerning the differences bctwccn China and Japan. In reply Sir Edward said the convention between China and Japan concluded in 1885 stipulated that In the event of any grave disturbances in Korea the two countries were at liberty to send troops to that country to restore order. Upon the outbreak of the recent rebellion in kOrcn both governments sent troops to suppress 1t, and consequently tho rela- tions between the two were critical
 Her majesty's government on July l9, he said. had wired tho governments at Berlin, St Petersburg, Paris and Rome. inviting them to send instructions to their representatives in TokiO and peking to join in cndeavors tO avert war. The govern mcnts mentioned had sent instructions in accordance with the request. The foreign office, he said, had no information that any hustilitics had occurred.

kRIZ0HA'S BLACK EYE.

Arizona is up in arms. 1t calls on the
whole west to help it repudiate the utter
ances of one Herbert Haywood, a trav-
cling newspaper correspondent repre-
senting Chicago, Buffalo and Plttsburg
journals. These are tho headlines that
tho Buffalo Express published over Mr.
Heywood's article:
"a Crooked Sister-Arizona's State.
hood Claims Denounced as Fraudulent
Federal Laws Violated Misrep'
resentation of Her Qualifications-A
Lively Chapter of American History, with
Important News Bearings"
And when this became known to the
Arizonans they held mass meeting at
Phoenix and denounced the correspondent
from Dan to Bersheba. New Mexico has
suffered much at the hands of careless
and irresponsible correspondents, but
n Mr.. Heywood's case she has no COM
plant to make. Indeed his treatment of
the territory was SO far above the ordi-
nary that his letters received many COM
pliments. His estimate of the loyalty,
patriotism and good qualities of the ma
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1894-03-01

tive citizens was in the highest sense as
complimentary as it was true and deserv-
ing.
Mr.. Haywood spent some days at Las
Vegas and Santa Fe. He got his facts
from men who love the territory and who
desire to see it prosper by always put
ting the best foot forward, such men as Hon.
Frank Manzanares, Hon. L orenzo Lopez,
Hon. Demetrio Perez and Gov. Thornton.
At Santa Fe he called on prominent
attorney and got an unkind rebuff for
his pains, but that didn't deter him from
seeking further and receiving frank and
full responses to all his inquiries. Down
in Arizona it was different. He fell
among the anti-statehood Phllistines
headed by Gov. L. G. Hughes. Hence
Arizona's black-eye in the eastern press.

THE AMEEDE HONORABLE.

The New MEx1cAN's suggestion that
perhaps, the anonymous sheet, the Gaunt'
let, first saw daylight at Las Vegas, while
bearing the date of Santa Fe, was in no.
wise intended to convey the IDEA that ii
was printed on the Optic presses. This
possibility was arrived at from reason
ing process that, at that time, appeared
to be perfectly logical, but which, in the
light of subsequent events, proves now tc
be rather doubtful. The Optic, like the
NEW MEXICAN, has never laid itself oper
to the charge that it would resort to the
methods which the Gauntlet adopts in
making attacks upon corruption in high
places. Indeed, the Optic is widely
known for its frankness in treating OF
public affairs.

Judging from the testimony thus far ad.
