She Can Manage Her Own Affairs.
BERLIN, June o. - The North German
Gazette accuses Switzerland of promoting
socialism 1t says: Had great power
practiced such abuses against another pow
er as Switzerland has been guilty of, a war
would have resulted Neutrality becomes
unnatural and untenable when offensive
disregard for the interests of neighboring
State is held to be justitiable.'
BERNIE, June 22-The Bundesrath, In re-
ply to inquiries made by the National
Rath, denies that there are any grounds
for the complaints made by the foreign
powers that Socialists are allowed too
much freedom in Switzerland It de-
clares that Switzerland will always fulfill
her international obligations, but holds
that the duty to watch the intrigues of
revolutionists does not devolve upon
Switzerland exclusively on account of her
neutrality, but is incumbent upon every
State. 1t says the negotiations between
Switzerland and the powers will continue,
and ends by giving assurance that the
Bundesrath will properly safeguard the
dignity and interests of the country and
will not consent to divide its authority
over the residents of Switzerland with Ger

vast quantity of water discharged by
South Fork lake into the Conemaugh
valley when compared to the flow over
Niagara falls. Estimating the Niagara
supply at 100000 tons of thirty-six
cubic feet per hour, and taking the
measurement of the lake to have been
been three and a half miles long by
one and a quarter miles wide, with a
mean depth OF thirty feet, we have the
enormous volume of 1000, 900, 600, 600
OF tons OF water, which would require
thirty hours in passing over the Mag
