cars from 53S to 1,236. Germany heads
the list with 227 miles of line; then comes
France, with So Z miles, and England, with
42.6 miles. The latest figures from the
United States show 10, 363 miles of electric
railway III operation.

REPUBLIC OF CUBA

1t is perhaps too coon to Fay ''Our sister
republic" in speaking OF Cuba, as we can
of Hawaii. but it is cheering to know tat
somebody has met somewhere in formal
convention, declared that Cuba Is a re-
public and elected a president.
Spanish control ir Cuba may not, 10
speak with absOiute truta, be the great
est crime of the century," but IL is really
distressing that in this age Of republic
making, the Queen of tie Antilles should
yet remain under the absolute domination
of Spain, the one important American terri
tory, that has no voice in it's own govern
nlent, enslaSed politically, and paying
enormous money tribute To the foreign
master.

rALIAFERo's PERFORMANCE.


Mr.. Taliafero doubtless Thought that his
indignation was of the righteous kind
when he led squad of followers to rescue
the man Taylor, who had been thrown
into the vessels hold and locked there by
the Officers of the pleasure steamer City
of Richmond yesterday, but such indigna-
tion and the act IT led up to are very dam
gerous upon a vessel crowded with pas
sengers.
1t is said there were 1 200 men, women
and children aboard In such a crowd
it was fortunate indeed that the intem-
perate conduct of Mr.. Taliafero, induced
by his fcrvent sympathy for a man whom
he thought had been outrageuusly treated,
did not create a panic in which much bodily
injury might have resulted to passengers
and, possibly, even loss of life.
Taylor may have been treated with un-
due harshness. 1t Is doubtful, judging
from all accounts, whether the officers
or agents OF the vessel had any Snod ex-
cuse for thrusting the man into the ves-
sells hold and locking him there. But il
that were the fact he had his RECOURSE In
the courts. In rorcibiy rescuing him Mr.
TaIIafcro simply appealed to that mub

nearly every section of the country. His

Six People Injured.
WAUPUN, Wis, March ia 0e-
structive fire occurred at this place
this morning. During its progress six
persons were injured-one fatally. The
pecuniary loss aggregates $4,000. -
The fire started at a. m. in the rear
of the building occupied as notionf
store by Mrs. Mcintyre. 1t was a large
brick structure and was two stories.
high. The flames soon got beyond the
control of the local fire department,
and message was sent to Oshkosh
asking for assistance. The flames
spread to the east and soon enveloped
the Butterfield building, which is oe-i
cupied by E. b. Patton. Next came
the Robinson block, which was occu-
pied by Deming & Wakefield, shoe
dealers. From there the fire took a
westward course and attacked a large
frame building occupied as a clothing
and dry goods store by Mrs. Sarah
Michel. Many other buildings in the
immediate vicinity were badly dam
| aged, but the loss in nearly every in
| stance is covered by insurance.
| During the progress of the fire there
| was a general panic when a terrific
explosion occurred in the Butterfleld
building, causing the walls to fall and
crush a number of people. 1t appears

! a sudden and violent expansion, which

that his hair is not gray the common
