The Atlantic and I,acfac-

There was formerly a belief that the Pa
ciic Ocean was many feet higher than the
sea on the east of the Isthmus, an idea
probably caused by the much higher tides
in the Pacific, which, before the fact was
known, did no little damage to shipping:
but accurate measurements have proved
beyond a doubt that the mean level, that
is, the level at half tide, OF both oceans is
exactly the same

AND THIS BEATS INGALLS,.
THE ALLIANCE HAS AGREED
ON A CANDIDATE.
A Fight All Day SUNDAY ana Into
MOndav Morning Before the
Contest IL Settled.

TOPEKA, Kas., Jan. Ex-senator In
gals was right when he remarked last
night that the battle was on. No truce
was declared over Sunday. The Farm
ers' alliance was busy all day, none going
home, for every man was needed at the
caucuses and each was on hand.
An important action was the decision
to unseat two republican representa-
tives and give the vacancies to alliance
supporters.
This action increases the vote of the ali-
ance in joint ballot to ninety-four and
will reduce the republican vote to sixty
four. The alliance thus has thirty plu-
rality over the republicans and a major
ity of twenty-one over all. 1t requires
eighty-three votes in Joint ballot to elect
and the farmers are confident they
will elect an alliance man on the
first ballot to succeed Senator Ingalls,.
LATER-Peffer has received the full
alliance vote for senator in the house.
WASHINGTON, Jan. PA special from
Topeka, Kas., says that at O'Clock this
morning Judge W. A. PETER, editor OF
the Kansas Farmer, was elected by the
the alliance caucus as candidate for
United States senator to succeed In
gals.

NEW YORK WASN'T HARD.
A TANGI.E OF BROKEN WIRES
AND POLES.

Nothing Like IL Ever Before
KNOWN any 1t was all Done by a
Little wet SnOw--A Tremendous
Crash.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The telephone
and telegraph poles and wires of this
city look as though a cyclone had hit
them,
All the telegraph poles on Seventh ave-
nue. from Forty-second street to Fifty
ninth street, went down early Sunday,
covering the avenue with wires and
fragments of poles. The heavy poles on
Fifty-ninth street, from Eighth avenue to
Eleventh avenue, suffered the same fate.
Al the corner Of Fifty-ninth and Ninth
avenue a pole fell upon the elevated sta
ton and partially crushed it. Later a
line of Western Union eighty feet poles
fell. with a crash in I'tety-ninth street,
carrying not less than 100 single wires
and two cables two inches thick with
from 40 to rs wires in them to the
ground. The fall made sound like
thunder, startling the people for blocks
away.
Mayor Grant has ordered the police
throughout the city to see to it that the
electric currents are not turned on the
various wires until the board of electrical
control shall certify that the wires are
safe. The telegraph wire broke in front
of No. IFS Chambers street and fell
across an electric light wire and received
its current. The wire fell on horses of
the Fifth avenue car and the electric cur
rent killed one of them instantly.
The whole story OF the destruction will
not be known until tomorrow, although
it is believed that no human lives have
been lost. The Western union is badly
crippled by the storm, all the wires being
down but three. One thousand men left
the city to-day on the work Of repairing
wires.

A Great and Growing Risk

From the Durham Globe.
Col. King Calico, almost impoverished
his empire of islands by buying likker.
He had a consuming passion for the
deming rum. He used to drink quarts of
it he enjoyed the delirium tremmens; he
wanted his breath capable of curling iron
at great distances-and he died.
1t is the old, old story. Had Colonel
Calico let likker alone and been more
watchful of his morals and his kingdom,
he would have built, there in the Pacific
ocean, on his little group of islands, a
model government. But he didn't do it.
And this is why we desire at this time
to call attention of parents to the great
risk they run in allowing their sons to
become kings.
