Encroachments of Lake Michigan.

CHICAGO, March 30.-During the recent
orms the waters of the lake made still further
acroachments on the lake shore drive in Lin
aln Park From North-avenue pier for dis
ance of about half mile north the drive is inn
passable, being washed out in some places and
covered with debris in others All along the
shore of Lincoln Park and Evanston, great
quantities of earth have been washed away One
very remarkable and startling fact is disclosed
in connection with the encroachment of the lake
on Lincoln Park, and that the whole surface of
the lake is gradually rising at the rate of about
four inches per year. The record shows that the
surface of the water is now two and one-half
feet higher than it was seven years ago. Por-
tions of the lake shore driveway where are
located some of the costliest private resi-
dences In the city, have been washed almost
completely away. severe wind storm is pre-
vailing to-day, and the lake is again tempestu-

BERLIN, March 30-Herr Won Puttkamer,
Prussian Minister of the Interior IN the Reich

Emperor William for a continuance of the anti
Socialist law In the course of his address ne ex-
claimed I'm the Emperer's name, and by
the Emperor's order. assure you
that bis Majesty would regret profound
~ and erieve deeply il the prolongation of the
anti-Socialist law is refused The Emperor
would shed his blood in order to maintain the
law Or. Won Puttkamer referred tc the So
cialist trouble in Belgium which, he said, i'm
periled the peace of Europa 1t behooved Ger
many he continued, to devise measures to pre-
vent such disorders. Had Belgium pos
sessed laws forbidding the publication
OF Socialist pamphlets and the holding
of Socialist meetings, the recent troubles would
probably have been averted. The Belgians were
Catholics. but the church had proved UNEQUAL to
coping with the outbreak of wild passion. Ger
manys strong monarchy, one of the most solid
bulwarks of order, was able and prepared to
crush such outbreaks. The prolongation of the
anti Socialist law was intended as preventive
measure.
Dr. Windthorst said he failed to see any con-
nection between the Belgian disorders aud Ger
man Socialists.
DIR. Won Puttkamer, in reply, said that ac-
3ording to newspaper reports Germans :nsti-

who, for improper purposes, have instigated leg
islative attacks upon telephone companies.
The telephone situation Is worthy or more
careful attention than it has received at the
hands of the public. Its features are peculiar,
and the development of telephone facilities is
certainly of high Importance to our people Al
though in the ten years that have passed since
the invention became public 156 900 miles of tel
ephone wire have been built over which 275,-
600, 600 communications now pass annually, we
are, in reality, only at the threshold of the bus-
ness. 1t is possible already to talk with ease
between Boston and Philadelphia over our ex-
perimental wire yet the connection OF our prin-
clpal cities and large towns by thoroughly prac-
ticable telephone systems hes in fact, only been
begun
With the improvements which are rapidly
coming into use, the aim must be nothing less
than to provide a complete working system
throughout the United States which will give
facilities for instant conversation between all
points within many hundred miles of each
other, such as is now possible within the limits
OF single exchange. This cannot be accom-
plished by competing companies, each reaching
only part of the persons wishing to become sub
scrbers to such system The service is divest-
ed of half its value the moment half the people
retire to second system and of much more
should there be still further subdivision. In
other words, the value of the thing consists in
placing each person in the same system with
each other one, and this can only be done under
one general plan.
The contracts which we have made with our
licensees all shaped with this complete gen.
eral telephone service in view. For purposes
OF intercommuncation between existing smaller
systems, it is arranged that all shall work to-
eether, and the fact that the telephone compa-
MES throughout the land have been held under
such general plan by the force of govern
ment patent, has been and is of the highest i'm
portance to the public. for in no other way could
even the present condition Of telephone develop
ment have been reached soon, or without
great confusion among competing companies and
the multiplication Of the wire nuisance, which
would have been intolerable.
The report declares that the Pan electric pat
ents are of no Importance whatever, and that
the companys counsel and directors feel no un-
easiness as to the result Of the governments suit

A st. Paul Murder Reveals q Plan by Which
Illinois Stock Breeders Were Swindied.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS JouruaI.
BLoOMINGTON March 30.-A very curious and
somewhat tragical swindle has just come to
light here. Early in February, James R.
Duncan, an importer of Norman horses at Nor
NAL sold two Norman stations and two mares,
valued at Sc 000 The men to whom he sold the
animals said their names were T. D. Martin and
L. M. Hartly, and they claimed to be from
Salem. Ia. They gave a mortgage on land near
Keokuk and Des Moines and shipped the stock
to Salem Soon after this they returned and
wished to buy more stock on mortgages, but
Duncan refused to sell unless they would give q
chattel mortgage on the stock until the proposed
mortgage could be investigated. This they de-
clined to do. A few days ago news was read in
the papers Of the murder Of one Buck Moore, at
St. Paul, who was there with a car of horses
The alleged murderer was j. D. Martin, who
was arrested. Investigation shows that j. D.
Martin was one of the men who bought the
$4,000 worth of horses here. and that the muir
dered man. Buck Moore, was the one who had
personated L. w. Hartly, rich and reputable
citizen of Salem, in the Normal transaction; Also
that the stock had not gone to Iowa, but a por-
ton of it to Kansas; that the mortgage covered
land practically valueless, the property being
under water; that not only Duncan had thus
been swinded, but also Elwood. of DeKalb ILL.,,
and Durham, of Wayne Ill. 1t is believed that
ner, and that there is but little hope of recover
