ONE STORMS COST.
Telegraph Companies in Connecticut

Rt thn Initial Drncc

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 1.-THE extra
ordinary "election storm" had a special
spite evidently against the telegraph
and telephone lines of the Nutmeg state.
Never before was a storm so destructive
TO them, not even the blizzard of 1885, 1t
costs S25 to set a new pole, and, on that
basis, the telegraph folks estimate that
the damage to their lines In this state is
not less than 100000.
The estimate, however, Is without
doubt altogether too low, since it is al
ready known that 5000 poles are down
in this state and 10000 miles OF wire
ruined.

Japan 5 Demands.

Another stumbling block will be the
amount of indemnity. Japan will doubt

to reduce the indemnity as much as
possible, 1t will he a matter of great
embarrassment in her present lmpover-

as that which Japan will exact. 1t can
only be done by increasing her duty on
foreign importations, which is now
about per cent, and which. in view OF
her treaty obligations, will not be easy.
Great Britain, who is the largest ex-
porter of manufactured products to
China, would be the first to protest
against this increase in custom duties,
and this is another consideration which
will cause China not TO act precipitately,
but to await Great Brltain's pleasure.

As to Proposed Arbitration.

Washington, Nov. 12.-At late hour
this afternoon nothing official had been
received at the state department from
either China or Japan. The japanese
ministry, it is we'll known, are con-
sidering President Cleveland's PROPOSE
tion to arbitrate, but it is matter Of
TOO great import to be settled hastily
The emperor of Japan, whose head
quarters are at Hiroshima, will be con-
suited, and these various consultations
require time. 1t is believed, however,
that definite replies will be received
from both countries by Wednesday Of
this week.
That China is anxious to bring to
close u war so destructive to her in
terests is we'll known. 1t is said today,
however, by those who are IN a position
to reflect the views Of the Chinese min
lister, that China win not dare to deter
mine the matter absolutely until after
Great Britain shall have been heard
from. And 1t is not believed that Great
Britain will be willing that the United
States alone shall gain the prestige
which VIII naturally belong to this
country for bringing the war to a close,
Great Britain wishes to have voice in
effecting the result.

A Remarkable Lecture.

"The Russian Nillists and the Hor-
rors of Siberia, will be the subject Of
an extraordinary lecture 10 be de-
livered at the Board of Trade hall
next Monday evening by Hon. William
Jackson Armstrong. ANY mention of
the Siberian country always brings
with it shudder of horror for if there
is one spot on earth more horrible than
another it is the cold. cruel mines
where wretched Russians who have
displeased their government are con-
fined for life. out of reach of all human
aid or sympathy and where they under
go the tortures of the damned. Not
even the penal system of New South
Wales under the English government
ever surpassed in iniquity and brutality
the treatment of prisoners in that far
off land in Asiaic Russia. Siberia is
the purg.tory of earth. and the scenes
of that dreadful country will be wildly
portrayed by the eminent lecturer.
Mr.. Jackson was at one time Presi-
dent Grants inspector general Of the U.
8. consulates for Europe and made it a
psint to visit Siberia and become in.
formed on the subject of the the Rus.
sian treatment of prisoners.

the admission fee will be only 25 cents.

A Plea for The weekly pap.r

The populist have nearly two papers
in the state where the republicans have
one. They are to be found everywhere
The republicans have alienated many
weekly papers by niggsrdly treatment.
They were given no representation on
the ticket or executive committee and
have been ignored in all private councils
The republican party is too much in
love with the corporation dailies and
that is what drives the weeklies out of
the party and two years ago did much
to defeat 1t. The weekly paper is the
paper that goes into the homes and is
read at leasure by the women and
children as well as the head Of the
family. The weekly paper is greater
power in politics than is the daily, and
now that women have vote its power
will be double what it was.-Denyer

A HalfMlllion in Gold.

Colorado's great gold camp. Cripple
Creek, has astonished the whole country
by the enormous output of gold for the
month of August. Says the special
correspondent of the Denver News:
THE August output of Cripple Creek
far exceeded in value and tonnage any
previous month in the history of the
camp. The total value of the ore
shipped to the smelters and treated
under stamps in the month of January,
1894, was about 100000. Then came
the strike, which lasted until the mid
die of June. The Jnly output yielded
about es75. 600 in gold.
The figures for August which have
been carefully compiled are as follows:
Number Of tons shipped to Denver
and Pueblo smelters. 1880; value. $41s,
500; number of tons treated under
stamps, 1000. which yielded 5000;
tons treated by the Lawredce Chlorina-
ton mill and cyanide process mill at
Mound City, 1900; value, $41 800.
There was 5000 worth Of geld taken
out on the placers. Total value of out

The Russian Thistle.

The extent to which the pestiferous
Russian thistle has spread the last year
throughout Colorado has caused a
general alarm among farmers and stock
men particularly, and in many sections
of the state organized efforts are being
made to root it out before it gains a
stronger hold. In some places the
county commissioners have taken
active steps toward having it removed
from the highways and out-of-the-way
places where 1t hourishes and where
being on no mans land it is left un-
disturbed.
The plant has the general appearance
of the tumbleweed which was 30 COM
mon in the prairie lands Of the east.
but the busby branches are sitter and
stronger, with prickly leaves of thorny
nature. The thistle is now in bloom
and has blossoms of reddish color,
and may be seen in many places about

The saloon was regularly licensed by

ground, i, e., on a lot on which the
liquor restrictive clause appears in the
deed, and the company must enforce
the clause for its own protection.
