PLENTY or NATURAL GAS.
Report That the supply Was Decreasing
is Unfounded,

Hartford City, Ind, Nov 29.-The re-
ports sent out by correspondents from
towns outside of the gas belt that re-

of wells in various parts of the natural

plants with a view to preventing leak
age and waste of fuel. He found the
wells all showing up strongly and Civ

CRUEL FATE
THE CzAR BLOCKS THE WAY no CON-
TEMPLATED REFORMS.

Russian Ruler Fearful That by the Plan
Suggested by NJ. Hanotaux He Might
Lose Control of Constantinope-'Tis the
Old Avaraoious Policy That Allows the
Awful Slaughter to Continue.
Berlin, Nov. 29-The very latest ad-
vices received here from st. Peters,
burg through official channels, confirm
the reports contained in yesterdays
dispatches of a coming change in the ad-
ministration of the affairs of the Rus
sian empire and attest the correctness
of the appointments mentioned as
about to be made. The advices, how
ever, discredit the reports of an in
glorious entente.
The view Of the situation in RUSSIA
most generally taken in official quar-
ters here is that the czar has not yet
acquired confidence in himself or in
any particular minister SUFFICIENT to
warrant him in venturing upon a
change in the foreign policy established
by the late minister of foreign affairs,
Prince Lobanoff, and that for some
time to come the foreign policy in force
in Russia must necessarily be tenta-
tive.
In the meantime the influence of M,
Melikoff, the Russian ambassador to
Turkey, and an aspirant to the foreign
ministry, is dominant, which is regard
ed here as implying a continuation Of
Russia's protection of the sultan, her
absolute rejection of all schemes for
European interference in Turkey, finar-
cial or otherwise, and the action Of
Russia in the capacity of tutor to the
sultan to the end Of his reliance upon
Russia until the sultan shall become
practically a vassal.
This view is taken as an explana-
tion of the fact that the scheme of HI.
Hanotaux, French minister of foreign
affairs, for the adjustment of the
Turkish finances, has been rejected by
Russia.
Concerning this scheme the inspired
Petersburg Viedomostt Frank, says:
The French proposal to fund the OF
toman debt would be dearly bought by
the sacrifice of Russta.s present exclu-
sive control of Constantinople. The

| The NoveImeria, another inspired st,

pressing similar views, says: 1.-THE

COLD IN THE NORTH VEST
Several Deaths Result-Grest Suffering
Predicted If Cold Continues,


Predicted if Cold Continues,
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 29.-The intense
cold weather which prevails in the
storm-swept districts of the northwest
has brought on intense suffering, and
the death list is expected to be increas-
ed unless milder weather sets in.
At Moosehead, Mimi, Thomas Ander-
son, after helping a woman to her
home, attempted to reach his own, but
perished and now lies buried in the
drifts

At Church's Ferry, N. D., train
man, attempting to get help for a train
load of cattle, was frozen stiff. Ten
carloads of sheep destined for Chicago
were frozen at Grand Harbor, Devils s
Lake. The November which is Just
closing is the coldest known in the
northwest for fifteen years. Snow fell
on the 4th of the mouth and has not
since disappeared. There is great suf-
fering on the stock ranges and thou
sands of cattle and sheep will perish if
the weather continues cold.
Reports from the railways indicate
that they are running nearly on time
again tonight. The weather is still
very severe, sub-zero temperatures be-
ing reported all over Minnesota and
the DakotaS.

ID. White Being Named.
Canton, O.. Nov 29.-Cabinet gossip
is becoming more animated as the days
wear on. There is a renewal of the
talk about General r. A. Alger for sec
retary of war Some of his friends
have been here within the last week
and it is known that Major Mckinley
thinks very highly of him. The name
of Senator Allison is connected with
the position of secretary of state and
will be a good deal talked about in the
next ten days.
Andrew D. White of New York is
still discussed for the same place. A
New York republican who passed
through here to-day is authority for
the statement that Thomas G. Platt of
New York thinks of going to Canton
within a few weeks to have a talk with
Major Mckinley and enter his protest
against the recognition of certain men
in his own state, whom he thinks un-
friendly to him.

CATHOLIC CRURCH NEWS.
Cardinal Satolli to Report of American
Clergy -BishopKeane's Movements

Cardinal Satolli to Report of American
y-BishopKeane's Movements
Rome, Nov. 29.-It is reported at the
vatican that the pope has ordered Car
dinal Satolli, late papal delegate to the
United States, to make a report on
the situation of the clergy in America.
According to the report, his holiness
charged Cardinal Satolli to prepare
such measures relative to the subject
as he might deem necessary. 1t is ex-
pected that Cardinal Gibbons will come
to Rome to discuss the question under
advisement and to further enlighten
the pope as to the best means of i'm
proving the situation of the American
clergy. After all the data is at hand
and digested it is probable that the
pope will issue an encyclical on the
subject.

NEW HAVEN'S NEXT MAYOR
THE TRIANG ULAR CONTEST GROWS
WARMER.

Republicans Confident of Victory-Na-

Nows-SIlver Men Taking Care of the
CONFERENCE.-The In the Twelfth
"A Prominent Republican Interviewed.
From now until the polls close to-
morrow evening and the last ballot has
been cast for the various town and city
officers there will be no rest for the
politician, whether he be a republi-
can, a silver democrat, a gold Iemo-
crat or supporter of the good govern
ment club.
The one topic of conversation in all
circles yesterday was. What is goine TO
be the result of this triangular con-
test? If it were possible, it would .een
that the whole three tickets Nigh -
chosen.
Republicans claim, and they b,.l
their claims upon figures, that they will
win by a handsome majority. These
statements, they proclaim, are not e.
the purpose of bluffing, but are base,
on facts which have, from time
time, been reported from the different
wards.
The silver democrats are uneasy as
to what is going to become of their
commissioners and general registrar,
for none of them has the slightest
hope of electing a single man not pro-
vided for in the bipartisan arrange
ment.
There are three pegs for the holes
that are to be filled this year. The bi-
partisan government does not contsm-
plate triangular contests, hence the
fears of the silver men. =
National democrats were more than
pleased Saturday night and yesterday
at the row in the silver camp over the
treasurership, and when the report
came that from another cause a large
body of silver men had left the party
the gold democrats were in ecstacy.
One of the boiling silver men who did
not want his name used assured a rep
resentative Of this paper that there was
an organized movement among the
young men to bolt Hewitt and vote for
Bradley.
In the Twelfth ward meeting of
silver democrats was held in Campau's
store on James street. Edward j. Har-
rington, road master, addressed the as
sembly and was roundly applauded.
He advocated the support of the repub-
lican ticket for selectnlen. This was
done. Louis Terrelfs rep, nomination
for councilman was heartily endorsed.

W-EYLER,S CUBAN CAMP4IGN.
Last Heard of He Was Searching for Maceo
Rebels Wreck a Train.


Rebels Wreck a Train.
Havana, Nov. 29-The latest reports
from the province of Pinar Del Rio
locate Captain General WeyIer in the
vicinity of San Cristobal. He was
marching westward towards the hills
seeking the forces of Maceo. No men,
ton is made of any engagement hav-
ing taken place.
While a military train was passing
along the central trocha, which extends
from Moron to Jucaro in the province
Of Puerto Principe, a dynamite bomb,
which had been placed on the rails
by rebels, exploded. Several of the
cars were wrecked. AS soon as the
explosion occurred the rebels, who had
been in ambush, made an attack on
the arrnored car attached to the train.
This car was defended by twenty-five
officers and men. They resisted the in
surgents until assistance reached them
from the troops stationed along the
trocha near the scene of the explosion.
The rebels were then driven off with
loss of eight killed. The Spanish loss
was two killed and an officer and five
privates wounded.
London, Nov. 29-The Times prints a
leader treating of the situation in Cuba.
1t says that owing to the incapacity
of her generals there is no prospect
whatever of Spain winning in the
struggle in the island. Moreover,

utmost and it will be difficult for her
purse to bear much longer the de-
mandS upon it. In conclusion the

Key West, Fla, Nov, 29.--Havana ad-
vices say that the determination of
pacificos continues by Weyler's secret
orders. All the commanders are or
dered to clear the country of all nom
combatants. This is done silently.
Communication with the country is
difficult and it is hard to obtain details.
The massacres only become known
through the confessions of officers and
soldiers in some cases. Colonel Struch,
it is said, openly boasted in Havana of
killing over 300 old men, women and
girls who surrendered in Pinar Del
Rio province. Many have been also
killed in other provinces.
