until the Russians get close to that
port. One of these reasons Is that the
longer. the Russian, ships are at sea
the less efficient will be their ccndl-
ton. However, this is nothing but
speculation. The battle may occur at
any time. The weight of expert opin-
ion seems to be with the Japanese;
but that, too, is only speculation, for
however great may be the estimated
advantage of either side, there is no
way in which to take proper account
of the element Of chance.

UPHEAvEL LOOKED FOR.

St Petersburg, April 5.vThe pros- poets of general ,upheavaI of the city and country with the advent of spring increase daily. Evidence accumulates that all the radical forces are acting in unison and awaiting signal which 1t is generally believed will be given shortly after the Russian Easter. The terrorists are showing great activity and reports from all over the country prove that the wOrkmen who in many
 cases have been formulating petty de mands which are no sooner granted that they are succeeded by others are acting under instructions from the revolutionary leaders who are only biding their time. The employers frankly admit that it is impossible to try to continue their businesses and some of them have already shut down. The people are plainly becoming panicky and the authorities also cannot conceal their alarm. The guard regi- ments which usually go to camp in April will be retained in St Petersburg 1t is announced until June ostensibly in order to allow the camps to be cleaned in view of the danger of chOl, era which is regarded as being so serl- Ous that the sanitary authorities have ordered the immediate cleaning of the streets, sewers. cesspOols and canals of the capital and have issued specific in structions to hOusehOlders especially in the poorer. districts where tlie people live in cellars.

WATERVILLE'S CLAIMS.
Growing Suburb in Need of Many
 improvements.

Waterville is beginning to claim it's share of public Improvements. It never was very bashful in this respect, but it appears to be getting a little more aggressive and progressive than ever before just now and feels that it has grown to such proper prOpOr- tions during the past few years it is entitled to a better way of getting into and out of there that it has and wants the city to give more room. There is a lot of merit in the two petitions pre- scented to the aldermen regarding the widening of the arch at the highland division and doing something with the street in the vicinity of the cutlery company. Alderman Buck does not say great deal, but he does lot of effective work in other ways and if his district does not win out in its fight to get room to grow the fault will not be due to inactivity on his part. The rail road companies did what they pleased in the past and as a result some of the districts of Waterbury are almost isolated from the main body. It is about time all these "holes" were stop ped up and the people given suitable public ways.

THE CELTIC LANGUAGE.
Gaelic Literary Society Will Help in
 New Movement.

At meeting of the Gaelic Literary society last night it was decided to take hand in the effort being made to compel the pOstoffice authorities in Ire land to recognize the Celtic language. so that a person who wants to writc the address on mail matter in Irish will be at liberty to do 50 if he knows how. and postal authorities will be obliged to pass it along This move ment was started some time ago hy Douglas Hyde and others interested in the rejuvenation and spread of the an- cient language and has been taken up in peariy all parts of the world Tine idea is to write to your friends in Gae- lie. at least put the address in that language. and if you have no relatives to talk with through the mails. drup a line to the national organization or inquire about one thing or another from the big publishing houses All that is necessary so far as Uncle Sam is concerned is to write the word -Ire- lanf- fin plain English let the clerks on the other side do the rest.

ONE ON THE INSPECTOR.
He Found Pig in the Cellar, But 1t is
 Salted Down.

Sanitary Inspector Callahan found his match in Mir Winslow of Court street, who was reported to be main- taining horse and hog in his eel lar. When the inspector called MT Winslow received him kindly, but gave him to understand that he had right to keep a pig in his cellar if he wanted to. He then conducted the officer into the cellar and showed him the porker, which he had killed the day before and salted it down. This disposed of the pig matter, but it was not so easy to account for the pres ence of the horse. goat and chick en coop close to the block. These MT Winslow promised to remove right away and there the matter rested.

PAY DAMAGES FIRST.
But Benefits are Never Paid Until
 Work is Done.

The woman who called at the meet. Ing of the board of public works last night and demanded the money she
 paid for street assessment because
 the work has not been done, brought
 up question that has come to the sur- race on and off in Waterbury since the clty frst commenced to open streets
 and It is hoped that it will be straight-
 ehed out by charter amendment dur Ing the present session of the general assembly. Under the present law
 damages are payable as soon as the
 work Is ordered, but the benefits
 never were collectible until the work
 was done, though, to be sure the city
 made practice of sending out the bills and now and then people came in and pald but the amounts paid for bene.
 its before the work was done Wera
 very small compared width what the city put out in damages. The proper
 thlng to do is to change this asseSs-
 nent matter so that neither will b0 payable until the street is graded. This would enable the city to layout a great many more streets than it can under the law as-it now exists, which limits the aldermen in the laying out of streets to the money available In the item ets-Assessments. In
 many instances streets are laid olrt.
 but 1t may not be convenient not even
 necessary to do the actual work for ten or fifteen years, consequently
 there is no reason why the city should
 pay the damages nor the property own l CTS be bothered about the benefits. If the new charter amendment does not
 provide for this it would be a move ln l the right direction to see that it reads
 that way and then the city will be in
 position to, lay out more streets
 than it ever could hope to do by paying | damages years before pickaxe is put I in the land that is to be taken. M

He does not expect, however, that she is seriously hurt or that she sustained any internal injuries.
