BRITISH PEOPLE Rousep.
Indignation General on Account of tn,
 Serpent Disaster.


 Serpent Disaster.
 LONDON, Nov. 14-Fresh dispatches from Coruna give a more detailed story of the laundering of the British torpedo cruiser Serpert.
 It appears that the thrush of water caused the boilers to explode. This prob ably accounts for the great loss of life. It is believed that the navigator of the vessel failed to allow for the effect of a strong shoreware current that prevails at that point on the coast. a,
 H. M. s. Lapwing has left Vigo for the scene of the Serpent's wreck. An Ad- mirality officer, in an interview on the subject of the disaster, has expressed the opinion that the Serpent's compasses may have been disturbed by reason of the contiguity of iron along the coast.
 The escape of the three sailors who managed to reach the shore was simply miraculous, and their bruised and weak condition. gave evidence of the terrible struggle they had been through. They are now being cared for in the hospital. They will be ordered home to England as soon as their condition will permit of their removal, to testify before the in- quiry which will be held by the Board of Admiralty. i
 The Queen is full of solicitude and has again telegraphed the expression. of her sympathy and a request that sheSbe fur nished all the information obtainable, bearing on the disaster.
 There is great indignation throughout the country and high naval officers are htSsed in the streets of London.

MONTPELIER, Vt., Nov. 14.-An amend ment to the constitution was introduced in the Legislature, which, if adopted, will radically change the present system o1 representation in the General Assembly, all the members of which are at present chosen biennially.

An Open Letter to the Hon F. B. Rice,
 President of the Board of Trade.

An Open Letter to the Hon F. B. Rice,
 President of the Board of Trade.
 DEAR Sm:-We wish to call your atten- ton to matter which we think is of the utmost importance to your honorable board, as well as to every citizen who has the in- terest of the city at heart The Board of of Trade was organized for the express purpose of encouraging the industries Of our thriving city, and affording every op. portunity to progressive merchants to come here and locate. Their taxes were to be only nominal. Every avenue that would lead to their permanent prosperity was to be opened, as long as 1t would not interfere with the rights of others Now, what are the facts Let us see. We came here and located. We built on Grand street Finally we outgrew our new quar- ters and purchased the property adjoining on South Main street. We built thereon a mammoth establishment, the name of which is know from Maine to California.
 Well, what is the result We had Uc- casion this week to appear before the as sessors, and because we pulled down the shanties that have made this part of South Main street hideous for more than half a century, and erected building that is at once the wonder and admiration of the people, they have trebled our taxes and fined us for our industry. If we had failed in our business, swindled our credi- tors and let the old rookeries stand, OUR TAXES would be left as they were.
 This is what they are doing in Ireland. They raise fellows rent if he white washes the pigstye, because he makes the place valuable by his industry and cleanli- ness. They have sent their illustrious countrymen, DILLON and O'BRIEN, over here to tell this story. Soon we will be sending c. R. BALDWIN and E. 0. LEWIS or their equals out in the world to tell our story.
 We want to ask you, Mir Rice and gentle tlemen of the Board of trade, if we keep building up and improving and remain in- dustrious, are we going to be fined accord iuglyl
 Why don't you tax us for our industry in reducing the prices of Furniture 30 per cent in seven yearsl Why don't you fine us for our industry in buying our goods by the carload and placing them here on the market in Waterbury at manufacturers priees2 Is this the encouragement we get for selling SIS Lounges at $l2.50. Almost everyone within fifteen or twenty miles has bank book since we started business.
 In conclusion we will say that if this ruinous policy is pursued we shall remove our plant to Bridgeport, and the howl of the people of Waterbury will be like cy- clone, and nothing will be left of the Board of Trade but grease spot.
 Very truly yours, and wn still remain the peoples

. Live. Stock Insurance.

There are in the state of Connecticut over ten millions of dollars invested in horses, and it would be per- fectly safe to say that within ten years three fourths of this property will become total loss by death, or in other words, horse owners will lose between seven and eight million dollars within the next ten years unless protected by insur- ance.
