PEACE REPORTS QUESTIONED

japanese Minister to France and For.

No Peace Negotiations or PreIimi.
naries Are in Progress, and Declare
That Alleged Conferences Between
the Two Never Took Place.
Paris. BY Cablc.-Whateve hopeful.
ness the peace situation may have

now completely changed, and there is
every prospect that the war will drag
on again. Consequently. dispatches

ly concerned, and it is asserted with
the authority of the foreign office and
the Japanese legation. In view of the
continued reports that there were indi-
cations that Minister Del Casse and
Nioi .oiio were taxing an active
part in the negotiations a correspond
ent called at the Japanese legation to-
aay and requested DR.. Mortono to fur.
niSh decisive statement which wonla
put at rest all misunderstanding. Ac-
cordingly. the minister gave the fol
lowing categorical statement. which
was taken in writing and may be ac.
cepteu as authoritatively clearing the
situation:
i tell you explicitly that there are
no peace negotiations or preliminaries
ior initiating peace negotiations at
inns time so far as | am aware. and
L believe my information to be com.
piete. am not desirous of discussing
the general question OF peace: for. ow.
ing to the complete absence of negoti-
ations or Dreliminaries towards nego.
tations. that question can only be
academic and without practical bear.
ing.
The statements that have confer.
red with Nj. Del Casse at his residence
are raise and are calculated to confuse
a situation which Is perfectly plain
There is no representative OF japan
authorised at this time TO discuss
peace or fOrcsha,iow III ;hc slight

crnment might consider il the nego-

On the contrary. Japan is now en-.
gagged in conducting n military cam.

with that important work.
1t can be added that the introduction
OF the foregoing dispatch, as well as
the portion quoted was submitted to
Dr. Mortono, who approved every
word. 1t was similarly submitted to
the Foreign Office. where it was ap.
proved throughout. Therefore the dis.
patch can be accepted as being in the
highest degree authoritative

RUSH FOR TICKETS
Spectators Said to Have Gobbled np
 Most of Them.

The tickets placed on sale for the . excursion to New York next Tuesday given by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, went on sale this morning at [ o'clock and in less than a half hour all of them had been sold. The price was only $1 for the round trip, consequently large num- Der were eager to go. It is said that spectators obtained goodly number of them as later on in the day tickets could be had at prices ranging from $2 to $3. The same thing happened at Hartford last week, but the people re- fused to buy and consequently at the last moment the sharpers had to put them on sale at 9 and 15 cents.
 The tickets for these excursions are limited to 300 and the price is so cheap that they are always sold shortly after being placed on sale. The excursion next Tuesday is similar to those which the road ran last summer and which caused a big howl to come from the business men. They declared that their interests were being hurt considerably because the trips were patronized chiefly by women who bought many ar ticles in New York which they would otherwise have purchased here. For this reason after a short time the ex- cursions were discontinued, but it looks as if the public is to be favored with them once more.

R. K. BROWN CASE.
Property Owners Intefe ested = Case
 Will be Heard New in Haven.

The Connecticut Railway and Light ing Go proposes to lose no time in dis posing of the injunction proceedings instituted by Robert K. Brown few days ago to stop the work of putting conduits and wires underground oppo- site his property on East Main street. At short calendar in the superior court this morning Judge Burpee moved for an early hearing to dissolve the injunc- ton, and it was agreed with Attorney Gillette, representative of MT Brown, that the matter shall be heard Tn New Haven at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Mir Gillette makes the astonishing claim that the work in question is be- ing done without the consent or per mission of the city. But that is not the question involved in the issue. The city is not concerned in it in any way.
 Mir Gillette claims that if the com pany is permitted to lay it's conduits opposite his property it will be impos- sible in the near future for him to make water connections with his buildings. As he was taxed for the improvements made from time to time on the street, often perhaps against his will, he thinks he ought to have some thing to say about digging 1t up and building underneath 1t. This question has never been tried in this state and MT Gillette thinks it will go to the su. preme court. It is matter, he said in which all property owners will bc | interested.

 In presenting the token of esteem, Mir Larkin said:
 George Nj. Beach: Success in life is gauged by the friends you make along the path that leads to the bourne from which no traveller returns. You have been singularly fortunate in this respect. Your honesty and upright dealings have been manifest not only to your fellow foremen, but also to the community you have served so faith fully as alderman and commissioner of public safety. For these virtues you have been appointed superintendent of police, necessitating your retirement as foreman of the Waterbury Clock Go, which position you have filled with credit to yourself and to the entire sat isfaetion of the officials of the com pany. Your fellow foremen have re quested me to hand you this beautiful chain and chafm as slight testimonial of their respect and good fellowship, and to say that they hope that your success in your new undertaking will be as great as in the past"

DE WOLFE IN WATERBURY.

A. E. DeWolfe, city editor of the Holyoke Transcript and one of the stockholders in the Holyoke base ball association, was in Waterbury to-day on flying visit. Mir DeWolfe, who is also the treasurer of the Hofyoke base ball association, had a few warm things to say when asked about Man ager Freulingsen, who after accepting a verbal contract for next season jumped back to his old berth fn the Tri-State league. However, there is no doubt but that Holyoke will get an- other manager. It does not seem pos sible that any one man could be the whole thing in the winning of pennant and we are much inclined to believe that there were others besides the manager who contributed to the. win ming of the pennant this season.

FIRE LAST NIGHT.

 Baldwin Street Badly Gutted.

The residence of Edward Baribeau, o64 Baldwin street, was badly gutted by fire shortly after ' o'clock last. night. A man named Parker was pass ing by the house and noticed smoke Issuing from the roof of the building and notified the family, who were eating their supper with never thought that there was anything wrong. An alarm was sent in, but owing to the long run the blaze had gained considerable headway before relief came and were it not for the ef- forts of Joseph Dalleywater, who owus 3 the adjoining building and operated to good advantage with the garden hose, < the situation would have been worse.

Avoid the Cheap and "6ig Can" eak-
ina Powders.

The cheap baking powders have but
one recommendation: they certainly
give the purchaser plenty Of powder
for his mony These powders are
so carelessly made from inferior ma
terials that they will not make light,
wholesome food. Further, these cheap
baking powders have very small per-
centage of leavening gas; therefore 1t
takes from two to three times as much
of such powder to raise the cake or
biscuit as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder. Therefore, in the long run,
the actual cost to the consumer OF
such powders is more than Calumet
would be. Cheap baking powders
leave the bread sometimes bleached
and acid, sometimes yellow and aka
line, and always unpalatable. They
are never of uniform strength and
quality.
Why not buy perfectly wholesome
baking powder like Calumet, that is at
the same time moderate in price and
one which can be relied upon? Calu-
met is always the same, keeps indef-
initely and gives the cook the least
trouble
