BACK TO OLD QUARTERS

The Apothecaries Hall Drug com pany has decided to remove it's, whole sale drug house from its present quar- ters on Center street back to the old stand at the corner of Benedict and Meadow streets. The. removal will take place about the first of May. The reasons for the removal, it is said, are that the present quarters are not sufti- ciently large for the business now be ing conducted and the railroad faciii- ties are better at the stand on Rene dict street A part of the old building is now occupied by the Bushnell com pany but some satisfactory arrange ment will be made with it. The old stand is more convenient in several way, especially in handling freight The wholesale house occupies two floors of the building in which it is now located.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-02-10

London. Feb 10---s.KNe were slow ' negotiating, so we are making up for lost time by quickness i'll action" said Baron Hayashi this morning. '.The engagements at Port Arthur and Chemulpo were merely in accordance with plans long matured. So soon as our forces are landed i'll Korea look for an important fleet action at Port Arthur. The Russian vessels are not likely to give up the advantage they gained by being under the cover of their land batteries. By going to the Chinese side, however, the Japanese feet, by high angle fire, can drop in shells which should make it very un- comfortable for the Russian ships ly- ing moored close to one another. Thereby it is hoped to drive out Vice roy Alexieff's forces. Possibly. like Admiral Cervera, he may anticipate fate and come into the open of his | own accord The present events mere 5y go to show the utter uselessness of Port Arthur from a strategic view point"
 Dealing with Secretary Hays note Do the powers on the subject of pre- serving the integrity of China, Baron Hayashi said:
 The neutrality of China was first suggested by my government, and we xeceived assurances that Chinese neu- trality would be observed. Japan will certainly agree most heartily to Secretary Hays proposition. which ap- pears chiefly to be due to the suspicion that Russia might find a pretext for Military action against China. If, 4Owever, the United States and other. powers contemplate the neutrality of 7Manchuria, the case becomes very foH E<a Russian troops in Manchuria, Japan cannot regard 1t as neutral territory. scarcely think the United States, Great Britain or any-<other power would be willing to drive the Russians f Out of Manchuria. however much they might insist that NIanchuria is part of neutral China. So, while We are anx- fOls to assist in assuring the neutrality Of China proper we have every inten- tion Of waging an aggressive land campaign in Manchrria itself Hay ng resorted to arms, we shall proba- ply go further than our modest de- mands made during the negotiations"
 According to the official advices re- ceiyed by Baron Hayashi, only four battalfons of Japanese troops have up , to the present been landed at Chemul- %. Korea.
 London. Feb. 1O-2 D. m-Official dispatches from Toldo received by Baron Hayashi say the Japanese ad-
 niral. on arriving at Chemulpo, Kor- i ca, sent in word to two Russian eruis- CTS giving them time limit to leave Shortly afterwards the Russians came out and attacked Japanese torpedo boat, which replied with q torpedo in- effectively. A general exchange of shots then followed. After a hot fire the Russians returned to Chemulpo ana sank at the entrance of the harbor. It is not yet known whether their sink ing was due to the Japanese fire or to the Russians own action: but, it is believed to be due to the former. The crews of both the Russian vessels sought refuge on French warship at Chemulpo. There was no casualties among the Japanese and their vessels sustained no damage.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-02-10

St Petersburg, Feb 1O.--The Official Messenger this morning contains the following supreme manifest:
 By the grace of God we, Nicholas II, emperor and autocrat of all the Russias, etc., make known to all our loyal subjects:
 Tn our socilitude far the mainte- nance of peace, which is dear to our heart, we made every exertion to con solidate tranquility in the far east. In these peaceful aims we signifed as sent to the proposals of the Japanese government to revise agreements re- { garding Korean affairs existing be- tween the two governments. How ] ever, the negotiations begun upon this subject were not brought to con clusion and Japan, without awaiting inc receipt of the last responsive pro- posaIs of our government, delared the negotiations broken off and diplomatic relations with Russia dissolved.
 Without advising us of the fact that the breach of such relations would itself mean an opening of war like operations, the Japanese govern- sment gave orders to it's torpedo boats to suddenly attack our squadron ! standing in the open harbor of the fortress of Port Arthur. Upon re- ceiving reports from the viceroy in the far east about this, we immediately commanded him to answer the Japa- nose challenge with armed force.
 Making known this decision, with nnshaken faith in the help of the AL mighty and with a firm expectation of and reliance upon the unanimous will lingness of all our loyal subjects to stand with us in defence of the fath- erland, ask Gods blessing upon our stalwart land and naval forces.

It is astonishing the number OF wise
people who are constantly getting
cinched by sending off for goods on the
strength of catalogues prepared rur.
posely to deceive. We examined a
Portland hardware price list the other
day, and compared its figures with those
of a local dealer, and found them practic.
ally as low in the local store as quoted
by the Portland firm. OF course, one is
privileged to buy where one chooses, but,
a little local patriotism always pays,
even as an investment, to say nothing
of an occasional accommodation by your
local dealer that you would not think of
asking from mail order house. What
particularly aegravates the local mer-
chant, is the sending off each to pay for
goods, while the same parties continue
to stand him off for an old bill. This
not unfrequently occurs, and is not only
disloyal to the town but positively dis.
honest.

The city council last night took needed
action on our faulty system of street
numbering, and the time is quite oppor-
tune. The old system is about as be.
wildering as could we'll be conceived,
and it will be we'll to make the change
before the new buildings in the burnt
district are occupied, and.the, occupants
supplied with printed matter containing
the old numbers. The HERALD would
suggest thatBroadway h. made the base
for streets running east and west, and
that the words East and West be prefixed
to all the names OF those streets; and
that, as far west as Division street, the
streets running north and south base on
the Chehalis river, starting No. 100 at
River street. Each block should begin a
new hundred,so that when a street mum.
Der is given the house could be located
at once as being between certain cross
streets. AS the committee will also con.
slider the changing of street names, it
would be we'll to change Front and First
streets, East Aberdeen, to Heron and
Wishkah streets.
