JAPANESE ORNAMENTS.

England Is Little Anxious About Her
Enterprising Ally.
Great Brltain's enterprising ally, ia
pan, intends not only practically to
double her army, but to spend E7,000,-
600 on the increase Of her navy as well.
The ships win presumably be built in
Japan, where possibly facilities for the
production OF armor plate will be In
stalled. If this be SO, with the cheap
labor available, the sum named ought
to give the Japanese at least FIVE II not
six ships of the type OF the Dread
nought or something approaching
thereto. She may, however. elect to
build two or more cruisers. 1t not being
by any means certain that the Japa-
nese have followed our example In
merging the two classes into the "capi-
tai ship" Perhaps four battleships and
two armored cruisers may be the out
come Of the proposals.
IL this be so, how will Japan stand
when her new programme Is comnlet-
edg The Mikasa has been raised. so
she will have four ships OF her old bat
tie feet, to which may be added the
OreI, Peresviet, Retziyan, Poltava and
Pobleda, taken from the Russians; the
Kushima and Katorl, the Aki and Sat
suma and the presumedl four new
battleships. In all seventeen ships. the
worst of which Is little better than
our Royal Sovereign class. Backed by
some sixteen good armored cruisers,
the total is formidable one, which
any except the ''mightiest power" may
well think twice before tackling. It
amounts practically to a feet Of six
Dreadnoughts, two King Edwards,
three Formidahles, three Canopuses.

elgns. Where, it may fairly be asked,

It Is expected that this formidable ar
ray Of vessels viii be employed?
! do not care to attempt to give an
answer to the question. 1t is sufficient
to know that in the belief OF the jap
anese the new vessels will see service.
But no man knows where the condi-
tons OF the latest power are leading
her nor what obstacles In her path she
foresees. Any one can for himself
imagine half dozen possibilities,
probable or improbable. 1t sufices to
say that ten years is no long time in
the construction Of feet, and that at
the expiration Of that period 1t may be
necessary again TO keep squadron
OF battleships in the seas Of the far
east. The possibility should be taken
into account in considering the building
programme Of the next four years.
Alliances are not eternal. and we need
not be the less friends with Japan if
we recognize that in her future rela-
tons she viii consult her own imperial
interests, with little regard for ours.
The existing alliance gives her a
breathing space, and in admiration OF
her deeds we are glad she should have

KIERSTED'S CUFFS
Brlndamour Would Not Try
 Them Last Night al Jacques.

Onicer Con- Kiersted was at Jacques last evening for the purpose of catching Brindamour, but the lat ter was too clever for Con-, who had with him devise with which he expected to "stick" the cuff breaker. It was in the form of chain with cuffs whose locks had been tempered with but Brindamour refused to have anything to do with 1t. It is said that the chain and lock was made at one of the local hardware stores.
 Brindamour in speaking of the in cident to-day stated to the writer that he was not at the theater to omen padlocks. Nevertheless, 1 could have last evening easily slipped the chain if I cared to allow the of1icer to put it on my hands. In numerous cases people buy cheap locks and have them tempered with so that they cannot be picked. All though do not make a speciality Of opening locks, nevertheless, If this officer who was present last evening cares to wager few dollars on my ability in that line I will be pleased to accommodate him. will allow him to visit any of the hardware stores of the town and procure a dozen or more of the best padlocks made. will then bet him any amount he cares to wager that will omen the locks. Of course 1t will take a little time, but I will allow the officer to be in the room where do the work"
 Brindamour was a trifle angry be- cause it was stated, so he said, by Kiersted, that the latter got the bet
 ter of him last night.

THOAlS MAY ACT
If Something Does Not Happen
 Soon in Hoadley Case.

There is nothing really new in the Hoadley case to-day, but unless all signs of the times fail there will be tomorrow or next day. A representa- tive of this paper was informed to-day on good authority that Mayor Thoms is very much displeased at the shilly shdllying tactics pursued in this mat ter by the, local authorities and that unless Assistant States Attorney Kellogg or Prosecuting Attorney Meigs does something inside of the next twenty-four hours the mayor will enter. complaint to Governor Woodruff and ask him to take cogniz- ance of this public scandal. It is a funny case, anyway. Instead of mak- ing an effort to lay the whole thing bare there appears to be disposition all around to conceal everything and as consequence nobody knows where he Is at. The officials say they are not obliged to take action until somebody makes complaint to them, but one would not think so. from the wording of the statute, which pro- vides that they are in duty bound to nose around and make diligent in quiry to ascertain whether or not the law has been violated For the infor- nation of people who may not know what the statute does provide on this matter it is quoted herewith as fol lows:
 l Special Laws of Connecticut, 1895. An Act Amending the Charter of the City of Waterbury.-Chapter 56. Section 15. Said prosecuting attor- | ney shall have all the power and rights within the territory under the Jurisdiction of said city court which grand jurors have. jointly and several l ", or shall have in criminal matters. It shall be his duty diligently to in quire after and make due present ment and complaint to said city court, of all crimes. misdemeanors, and other criminal matters whereof said court has jurisdiction, or where in said court may proceed, whether committed before or after his appoint ment to office; and he shall attend to the proper trial and hearings of the same before said court Ill the event of the absence of the prosecuting at. torney, the clerk of said city court may act as prosecuting attorney ir his place, and shall then have all the powers and perform all the duties oi prosecuting attorney in said court without compensation. except as it is otherwise herein provided for tn. clerk.
 What a sensation it would make il case Mayor Thoms should complain to the governor! It would not sur prise people who are wondering fl there is any law which some art bound to respect.

AFTER KELLEY'S LAND
The Baker May Have 10 Side step For Trolley Tracks

There was hearing in the Capitol yesterday on the bill to give the Woodbury-W Waterbury Trolley Co power to condemn land for its own uses and to build power houses and for authority to transmit power across private property. The main feature of the bill was to give the company authority to condemn land, and the particular land in view is that owned by Thomas Kelly, the baker, situated at Quassapaug.
 It seems like the basest kind of in gratitude and selflshness the way this company has turned upon MT Kelly. There was no stronger advocate or worker for trolley to Quassapaug than he, and though there Is land a plenty for the purpose needed by the company, none other would satisfy 1t but Kelly's.
 It is claimed by the company that the land is needed for public con venience and necessity, whereas not a soul in the state has said word of that nature about the property except the company's lobbyists. The ground is needed solely for pleas. ure park at the lake, for no other reason or cause in the world but to feather the trolley company's nest. However, it is evident that the company, cognizant of the opposition 1t is up against, intends withdrawing the bill, for 1t was only feebly repre- sented, whereas those who oppose i were there in large numbers. Attor ney F. P. Guilfoile represented c. w Atwood of Middlebury, who own' hundreds of acres. of land over whicf the company proposes to run 1t wires and condemn a great deal O it.
 Representative Allerton of Middle
 bury is opposed to the bill and vii

BAZAAR CLOSED.
More Than 200 Persons in Eagles
 Hall Last Night.


 The bazaar given under the aus. pices of St Anne's parish in Eagles hall the past week was brought to a successful close last evening, more than 1900 persons being in attend ance. As the drawing of prizes last night consumed much of the time the committee in charge decided to have no entertainment. The fair has been an excellent financial venture and it is said the congregation will clear almost $4,000 by the event Although 1t was the first fair in the Auditorium since the introduction of polo during the winter, nevertheless the floor was in very good condition, consequently the attendance at the bazaar was large. Lallier's orches- tra furnished music, which, with the good floor, made dancing of the best. The proceeds of the carnival will go towards a worthy object, as anyone will testify who walks along South Main street and beholds the beauti- full new edifice which St Anne's par ish is erecting.
