Victims of the Trolley and bicycle

Victims of the Trolley and Bicycle.
Mr.. Chauncey ". Depew and Mr.. Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt returned a day or two ago
from California, and Mr.. Depew gave TO
the newspapers an interesting interview.
Among other things ne said that in the
grazing states there Is not a great deal OF
prosperity on account OF the low price OF
stock He declared that in Utah he was
told that horses in that state were selling
al SIS a dozen"
That statement was an exaggeration. of
course, but the price OF horses is remarka-
bly, low. There is very little demand for
them. Electricity has superseded them as
the power for driving street cars and the
bicycle has interfered greatly with the
demand for them as carriage horses.
The breeders who have heretofore found
the raising Of horses profitable are now
unable TO make a living in that business.
The curious features of the matter how
ever. is that many Of them will not admit
that the low price which the average horse
commands is due to the lack OF demand,
but attribute it to the fact that our minis
are not open to the free coinage of silver.
They have been told by demagogues that
If we had free silver coinage the price OF
horses would advance until it was what
1t used TO be. Hence they are clamoring
for free silver coinage. Eventually they
will find out the truth. If we had free sill
yer coinage the price OF horses would not
advance. on the contrary they would
bring only about half what they do now,
because the currency that would then be
in circulation would have a value only

VIEWS OF ARRIVING SENATORS.
Little Except Appropriation Bills Elk pected to be Passed--Senator Hawley

Little Except Appropriation Bills Ex-
 pected to be Passed-Senator Hawley
 Against Makeshift Tariff Legislation.
 New York. Nov 23--A Washington dispatch to the New York Evening Post says:
 Members of the senate are coming to Washington every day, and from in terviews with the men arriving 1t IS apparent that the senators expect lit- tie save routine legislation, including the passage of the annual appropriation bills, to be accomplished at the short session of congress. Senators Cockrell, dem of Missouri, and Hawley, rep, of Connecticut, both gave expression to this opinion to-day, and both agreed in the opinion that nothing need be ex- pected at the coming session in the way of helping along an international bi- metallic conference. Senator Hawley did not believe the Dingley bill would be enacted into law. He said:
 ''The Dingley bill is confessed mere makeshift, with all the defects incident to horizontal increase or decrease of duties If it should be passed as it is, it seems to me it would be the duty of the president to assemble congress as soon as possible after the 4bh of March for a diligent consideration and re- vision of the whole tariff in a consid- crate and conservative spirit, to the end that a. bill might be passed that would stand the test of years, subject, of course, to an occasional correction where new inventions and changes in trade may demand it. It is to be re- membered also that the Dingley bill expires by it's own limitation In August, 1898, and it is impossible to evade the question. Therefore the more speedily action is taken the better"

WHAT BURGLARS DID.

Made a Big Excitement in Trumbull.
 Trumbull, Nov 23.-Burglars late Saturday night attacked the country residence of L. c. Moves on the Trum- bull turnpike, two miles north of Beardsley park. A dog aroused Frank Reid, a nephew who saw two men moving about the barnyard. He arous- ed MT Moves, an elderly gentleman, and they went out in time to catch the men blanketing a horse. Reid grap- pied with one of the men, while Moves covered the other with drawn pistol. There was a rough and tumble fight after this, in which one of the robbers sprang on Moves and wrested the gun away from him and used it to knock the old man down. A lantern, which the party had, went out in the struggle, and the thieves, overcoming their cap tors, quickly made their escape. MT. Moves was severely injured about the head in the encounter. Miss Nettie Moves, a daughter, summoned assist ance from a nearby farm house, but it was too late, as the would-be thieves had fled.

THE YALE-PRINCETON FRESH. MEN GAME TO- MORROW.

The Yale freshman football eleven took their last practice of the season at Yale field yesterday afternoon. Captain Corliss E, Sullivan was in charge and a number of the coaches who have worked up the Yale var sity eleven the past fall were present and assisted Miller '97 in drilling his freshman proteges. It was the hnal appearance of the freshmen before they face Princeton 1900. This morning they will go through their plays, probably at the Yale gymnasium, and early in the afternoon they will leave for Princeton, where the annual contest on the gridiron between the freshmen classes of the two universities will be played tomorrow.
 Friends of the freshman team at Yale see little chance of winning and the delegation from the class to go to Princeton for the game will be small. Few bets have been placed on the game, although quite a little of Prince ton money has been sent to this city. The Princeton freshmen expect to win and the Yale freshmen admit that the chances are that they will by a wide margin.
 One of the most interesting features of the game will be the struggle be- tween Durston of Yale and Hillebrand of Princeton. They are tackles and will face each other Hillebrand has been expected to make all the big gains for Princeton, as Wheeler and Poe will play directly behind him, and go through the holes he makes

We had this state won a month ago.

gives full credit to the splendid work
which Is being done by h silver Re-
