Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-02-08

If the readers of the Democrat won der why some local items of news ap. pear in this paper few days late now and then, they can lay it to the new system of board meetings. Reporters are not allowed to be present at all the meetings as heretofore. so they gather the news as best they can. Sat
 urday a reporter of the Democrat was given what was supposed to be all the doings of the board of public works
 Unfortunately, however, the man who impaired the news to the reporter ov- erlooked very important matter. As We said on a former occasion, sooner or later the doings of the municipal boards are public property, therefore why not let it be given to the public when it should be and through tAthe proper channels, the daily newspapers.

 Outbreak of War.

Japan Does Not Expect an Inn rn ed iat e
 Outbreak of War.
 LONDON, Feb. S.-The cabinet coun- Gil today is in response to an urgent summons, and 1t will have very grave situation to discuss because of tue war crisis in the far east. There is also an almost equally grave crisis in the near east. ..-.
 King Edward granted an audience at Buckingham palace to Lord Roberts, commander in chief of the army, and Lord Charles Beresford commander of the channel fleet, with whom he un- doubtedly discussed the far eastern cri- sis. -.-....
 Statements of the Japanese case sim liar to the one issued in Paris have been made also in London, Berlin and other capitals.
 As result of the rupture of diplo- n1atic relations Japan neither seeks nor expects sn immediate outbreak of hos tilities. She trusts the Chino-American treaty will maintain the open door and the status quo ill Manchuria, and she has prepared herself to watch the attitude of Russia in northern Korea. She will not, however, land troops in Korea without distinct violation of the Korean frontier, in which event she is prepared to act promptly.

WHY JAPAN ACTED.

Russia Declined to Yield on Four
 Principal Points.
 BERLIN, Feb. S.--A report sent the foreign office here from Port Arthur says that & battle has already been fought and Japanese fleet sunk. 1t is said that, while the Japanese govern ment did not wait for the official pres ention of the Russian response, the con tents of it were communicated private ly to Nj. Kurino, who telegraphed it to his government.
 When Count LamsdOrff informed M. Kurino that the response had gone to yiceroy Alexeieff, he did not give him a copy of 1t, but it is understood that he made known in general way the Russian position. Russia, while mak- ing concessions. declined to yield on the four following points:
 First, Japan's right to ask for a treaty covering the sovereignty of Man churia; second, she insisted upon mu- tual recognition of the independence of Korea; third, that there should be no fortification of southern Korea which might threaten Russian communica- tions with Port Arthur and Vladivos- tok, and, fourth, she declined to meet Japan's wishes with regard to a neutral zone on both sides of the Yalu river.

 All hope of averting war now. it is frankly admitted,-has been abandoned by the Russian government. Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, upon receipt of the cablegram from St Pc tersburg called upon Acting Secretary of State Loomis and informed him Of the Interruption of relations.

The undertone Of the stock market remains sound, particularly ill respect to railroad securities. says Henry Clews in his last letter. Earnings
 continue to show satisfactory gains over the phenomenal figures ot last year, which, considering the lessened activity of business, is effectuaL proof
 of genuine growth. Only a few roads are showing decreases in net earnings, in spite of the fact that la bor is high and the cold winter has added considerably to costs of opera: tion. A good deal of profit. taking has occurred during the last two weeks, so that the, market is not load cd with a burtlensome long account. Securities are in strong hands, but it any increased activity occurs in the near future it is more likely to be through quick ill and out trading rather than buying for permanent holding. There are at the present time sufficient uncertaintiesa of a tenn porary character, such -ass those re- ferred to above, to keep the market in somewhat unsettled condition
 While this state Of affairs exists, good railroad stocks would seem to he a out again on the rallies. ----.

A woman writer in McClure's for February writes Interestingly of the doings of Mir Rockefeller. She takes up her narrative at the point. where MT Rockefeller, controlling the oil re7

Just as, when strug- gling for railroad rebates andV pipe. lines, no obstacleyshad. been too great! for his towering genius to overcome. so, in tIe fight for the retail oil trade. no detail was too petty to escape his comprehensive eye.

The Hearst candidacy for president is receiving unprecedented comment at present in the national capital from the fact that many papers in this country who have hitherto ignored Mn Hearst's candidacy are now. nnak- ing generous comments thereon, says our Washington correspondent. Some of the papers that seek to belirtle Mr Hearst's candidacy are edited by men, or rather controlled by men, who have made sigma success in other walks of life, but dismal failure of the newspaper business. This 1s notably true of one Frank A. Munsey, who made money as a publisher of a cheap magazine. but who has lost about all he has made as the publisher of daily newspapers. MT Munsey's paper. the Washington Times, attacks MT Hearst bitterly without presenting arguments against him and without shadow of excuse. This may be expected of a man who employed men responsible for f1,e postofiies Investigation, but who had not the courage to withstand the onsIaughts Of corporate interests and who discharged from his service the very man who started this inves- tigation into the rottenness of repubI1- can officialisn1.

QUICK ACTION EXPECTED.
Japnnese Were Tired of Russian De
 lays and Insincerity.

Japnnese Were Tired of Russian De-
 lays and Insfncerity.
 TOKYO, Feb. S.-Thej severance of diplomatic relations between Russia and Japan appears to be only a step toward war, although when the minis ters of Russia and Japan withdraw from their respective posts quick and decisive action is expected.
 When Minister of Foreign Affairs Komura on Saturday notified Baron de Rosen, the Russian minister, of Ja- pans determination to sever diplomat ic relations, he is reported to have de- clared to him that Japan is tired of Russia's delays, evasions and insincer- ity and has decided to take independ- ent action for the conservation of Ja- pans oriental interests.
 During the final negotiations Japan's repeated requests for an answer were treated in 8 most unsatisfactory man. ner. Japan waited until convinced that it was useless to wait longer and has now ended the discussion.
 The indications. are that there will be no formal declaration of war. Japan will publicly define her position and purposes, and the foreign office has prepared new statement, which will probably be announced at once. Today Japan will unquestionably seize Korea, and, although Russia has previously in timated that it would not interfere in view of that country's present atti- tude, developments are eagerly await.

Acting under instructions from his government, the Japanese minister at the imperial court has presented a note which informs the imperial gov ernment of the decision of Japan to break off further negotiations and of the recall of her minister and the whole staff of the legation.
 "In consequence of this his imperial majesty has been pleased to order that the Russian minister at Tokyo, with the whole staff of the imperial mission, shall leave the capital of Japan with out delay.
 ''Such an attitude on the part of the Tokyo government, which has not even awaited the arrival of the answer of the imperial government which was sent during the last few days, throws the whole responsibility for the conse- duences which may arise from a rup- ture of diplomatic negotiations be- tween the two empires on Japan"
 A dispatch from Tokyo says dec lsrDtion of war is expected soon.
 A dispatch says that Japan has for warded to the powers q statement of the events that led to the breaking off of relations with Russia.
 Baron do Rosen, Russian minister at Tokyo, is preparing to withdraw from the capital on Friday next.
 Advices from Port Arthur say the Japanese consul at Chefu has sent a telegram to 8 Japanese elder at Port Arthur urging the departure of all Japanese from Port Arthur and Port Dalny.
 The greatest excitement prevails there. No steamers are available, and the Japanese are trying to charter a sailing vessel They are hastily sell ing off their property and winding up their business Japan has been tele- graphically cut off from this port for three days.
