Russians Order Foreign Agents
to Quit Siberian Port
at Once.
WILL INVEST TOWN.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Richard
s. Greener, American commercial
agent at V~ladivostok, has cabled the
state department that all the foreign
commercial agents there haveN been
asked to leave Vladivostok fortress
and are given permission to reside in
the cities of the maritime provinces.
Mr.. Greener himself has left Vladivos-
tok for Haborowsk. 1t is recalled here
that a similar measure was adopted by
the Russian authorities at Port Arthur
at the beginning of the investment of
that place by the Japanese land and
sea forces, and hence it is assumed
that Vladivostok is expected to become
a center of the seat of war very soon.
A special report from Singapore,
Straits Settlement, says that the Rus
sian fleet has been seen 100 miles
northeast of Cape Varella, coast of
Anam, by the captain and crew of the
British steamer Hong Wan l.

ported sighting forty-two Russian ships

1t was about 800 miles from the
southern part Of the island of Formosa,
where it has been asserted Admiral
Togo may give battle. 1t Is doubtful If
the fleet can make more than about 200
miles a day.
A report from Tokyo says that the
departure of Vice Admiral Rojestven-
sky from Honkohe bay northward re-
news the popular expectation of a ma
val action in the near future.
1t is the opinion of some that Rojest-
vensky may make a demonstration in
the vicinity of the islands of Formosa
and the Pescadores and then enter the
Pacific EN- route for V~ladivostok.
From General Oku's headquarters a
special report comes that at noon yes
terday a Russian force consisting of
three or four companies of infantry,
seven or eight %squadrons of cavalry
and three Or four guns appeared north
Of Changtu from the direction of Feng-
hua. After firing several rounds from
the battery of guns they retreated in a
northerly direction.

BATTLE FOR THE FLAG.
Two Colonies Dispute over Veterans
Banner at CrOnk' Bier.

WI Dispute over Veterans
Banner at CrOnk's Bier.
NEW YORK, May 19.-A dispute be-
tween Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner of
the Veteran corps of 1912 and Mrs. A.
@. Morehouse, honorary colonel of the
same society, over the ownership of a
flag caused considerable excitement
at the city hall as the funeral pro
cession In honor of Hiram Cronk, the
last survivor of the war of 1872, was
getting under way here.
The dispute took place on the steps
of the city hall. Mrs. Morehouse, who
was in colonel's uniform, claimed the
flag as her property. while Colonel
Gardiner, who was also in uniform,
claimed it belonged to his Veteran
corps. The dispute was attracting
considerable attention when Colonel
Gardiner cut it short by walking away
and leaving Mrs. Morehouse standing
Oh the steps.
Afterward the colonel stated that
the flag had been missed for some
time by the Veteran corps, and when
it was discovered the corps claimed
ownership of it and intended, now that
it was i'll its possession, to retain it.
Mrs. Morehouse stated that she would
hold Colonel Gardiner responsible for
its return to her.

troyed shade trees on the streets and

Perth Amboy can add another to the
list of evils which destroy the trees
and that is the moving of old build
ings through the city streets. If some
way could. be suggested for getting old
buildings to new locations without
blocking streets and damaging other
property, Perth Amboy would be glad
to hear of it. We realize the necess-
ity of making way for more perman-
emit improvements, but the method is
horrible. If those aerial trucks were
only in use now, they might be
brought into play.

ECONOMICAL MARKETING.
Fruits Bought in Season and Staples
in Quantity Make for Notice
ably Smaller Bills.

Marketing and economy are two
words that should be found side by
side. Economy in marketing means
receiving full value for the money
spent, and to exercise this true econ-
Omy one must purchase things in their
best condition, in their season, and in
exactly the requisite quantities. In
purchasing fresh foods it is an in
evitable rule that they are best in
flavor, nutrition and wholesomeness
when they are in season. They are
also most plentiful and cheap at this
time.
P~erishable foods should be bought
only in the quantity required for the
days use.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-05-19

Flour, sugar, etc, are cheaper when
bought in quantities, and when kept
in a cool, dry place do not spoil
Canned goods are also cheaper when
bought by the quantity. and the t
ing of them requires but little room.
All marketing should be done where
there is a quick and constant renewing
of the stock. In small stores goods fire.
quently remain long on hand and de-
teriorate. Vegetables can scarcely be
bought too fresh, though there are a
few which do not deteriorate by keep
ing a little while. The same may be
said about fish. Poultry should al
ways be quite fresh. Beef and NUT
ton require to be kept in a cool, dry
place for some days after killing be-
fore they are fit to eat. Veal and

Thomas Jefferson was in this city and

The public will await with interest
the financial report to be prepared by
the committee appointed by the water
board Wednesday night. We all want
the reservoir, but we do not want to
burden the city too heavily. We heart
lily believe that if it can be shown that
the reservoir can be built without
stinting the other necessary improve
ments, every citizen, the mayor in
cluded, will be glad to assist in the
good work. That the reservoir is
needed there is no doubt, but the
water board has made such extensive
improvements to the system that there
is a general feeling that matters can
rest as they are for a few years.
President Convery's idea of getting
everything ready to proceed SO as to
lose no time when the time to build
actually arrives, is good and, we be-
lieve, should be carried out. Com

finances is recognized and the forth

FRIDAY. MAY 10.
Opening An Old Wound.

The NEWS regrets to see an cid
wound being opened in this city. Last
year there was much agitation for
closed specifications in street paving
contracts. The NEWS fought it with
all Its power, demanding open bidding
and a chance for competition. The
contract went through last year, but
when the bids were opened the people
were given an object lesson which,
we<trust, is not yet forgotten. The
trouble was over the Warren Bros.
Bitulithic Paving Company coming
here and demanding that they he
allowed to pave Rector street at their
own price. With competition barred
they charged 81. 25 in spite of the fact
that the NEWS, at the time, showed
where, in other cities where there
was competition, they had bid much
lower.
A petition is now being circulated
III Madison avenue for this same kind
OF pavement without a chance for com
petition. The NEWS has not changed
its position in this matter. We do not
deny the quality of the bitulithic
pavement, but we want competition.
If the Madison avenue people will in
sist that the name "Warren Bros
and 'sbitulithic" be cut out of the
petition and have 1t read simply fol-
"bituminous uacadam, " then any. firm
can bid including the Warren Bros.
and the work can be done much
cheaper. Taxpayers should demand
competition in public contracts.
