THE ROCKVILLE BRANCH ROAD.
The New England Road to Discontinut
 OpcratiOn of the Rock vile Branch.


 Operation of the Rockville Branch.
 Rockville, March 9.-At a meeting of the directors of the Rockville Railroad company held here this afternoon a no- tice was read from the officials of the New England road announcing the in- tention of the latter road to discontinue the operation of the Rockville branch after March 31. The notice was a great surprise to the directors and the peo- pie of the town in general It has been generally accepted that the Rock vile company had leased the road to the New England for ninety-nine years, but it now seems that such is not the case. A lease which would have that effect was drawn up, but never was signed None but the railroad people were aware of that fact. The New Eng land company has been operating the Rockville branch for the last seven teen years. and it was understood to be the best paying branch operated by them.
 The Rockville road was built in 1862 by company composed almost entire ly of Rockville business men. They operated it for about seventeen years, when it was sought by the larger road. The directors took no action on the mo- tice to-day.

South Norwalk Consolidation.

East Norwa1k, March 9--There is con siderable talk here in favor of consoli- dation with Norwalk and the neighbor- ing villages. As result of the move ment meeting of the committee of the consolidation district was held in Nor walk tonight. The advantages of a consolidation were laid before the com mittee and the general opinion was that it would be for the benefit of all con- cerned. The advantage would be espe- cially noticeable in fire protection, as then the appropriation for that branch of the town government could be more than doubled and several more pieces of apparatus purchased. The difficulty that stares the friends of consolidation in the face is the varying obligations of the different districts, which it will be necessary for all to jointly assume Marshall H. Tolles. John w. Maines and Dr. r. B. Baker represented East Nerwalk at the conference.

- DUTY ON DIAMONDS.

Not On the Free Eist-United States Circuit
 Court Decision-Judge Townsend's De-
 cisioa Sustained.
 New York, March 9.-The contention on the part of a number of importers of precious stones that, by virtue of paragraph 467 of the act of August 2S, 1894, diamonds are on the free list has been definitely disposed of in the nega- tive by decision rendered in the Unit ed States circuit court of appeals in this district to-day. A test case was brought in the United States circuit court some time ago and Judge Townsend decided that diamonds were not exempted from duty by the act referred to. An appeal was taken by the firm of importers who brought the suit. Judge Wallace said that the court sustained Judge Town sends decision. Something over $1,200 900 Is involved ill the decision, as, had the government been defeated, all of the duty paid upon diamonds since the passage of the act of 1894 would legally have to be refunded on demand.

BLUE BOOK RfCEiVED.
State ticials Are Very Mysterious About
 the Matter,

the Matter.
 Washington, March 9.-Four copies of the Venezuelan blue book reached sent in advance of their publication in England. One came to Sir Julian Paun- cefote, exclusively for his information and not, as was expected, to be pre- sented by him to the Venezuelan com mission as the British case. The other three copies came to the state depart ment from Ambassador Bayard, to whom they were given by Lord Sails bury over week ago simply as an act of personal courtesy to the ambassador, as the state department officials are most mysterious about the matter and deny all knowledge of the receipt of the book.
 In the meantime the Venezuelan com mission has to depend for information on the subject on the abstract cabled last Friday. The copy of the document received at the British embassy ap- pears very imposing, with it's accom- panying folio of maps and is evidently prepared with the direct end in view of consideration by such a judicial body as greSlueHt 1iSNSldlLa . COluHllSSlol. Each chapter dealing with the various phases of the question closes with a concise statement of what is demon strated and the entire work seems to have been accomplished in a most painstalxing, careful manner
 To those who have seen it no doubt exists that it is an exhaustive state ment of Great Britain's claim and that it could not be extended in any par ticular if England had consented to arbitration and had expressed will Iingness to let her case stand or fall on the evidence therein presented.

IT ILLUMINATED IN A RIOT
GENERAL STRIKE OF PORTERS 4ND
 BOATMEN 4AT ST. KIT7S.


 Stores Were Looted of heir Stock and the Managers and Overseers of the Planta- tions Were Severely Beaten and a Good Many of Them Killed--Local Authorities Are Handicapped.
 Boston, March 9.--B. Osborn Grant of the Guianese union received the follow ing from British Guiana:
 Yesterday a general strike took place in the West Indian island of St. Kitts amongst the boatmen, porters and es- tate laborers, which eliminated in a general riot throughout the island. The buildings were destroyed by fire. Stores were footed of their stock, sugar plant ation managers and overseers were se- verely beaten and a good of many of them killed. Some had to escape aboard vessels lying in port in order to save their lives. Sugar-cane fields were burned in all the parishes The dam- age done to property is considerable, and the sugar industry is jeopardized greatly, and the whole island is in a state of bankruptcy. The rioting has increased and the local authorities are handicapped and entirely unable to cope with the rioters and the whole isl- and is in the hands of the rioters. Her najestys ship Cordelia, which was ly- ing at neighboring island at the time, was sent for and arrived in port last night and landed all the blue jackets and marines that were on board, but order was restored only in certain sec- tions of the city. Business is suspend ed. The rioters, who were com pelled to retreat, have joined in the country in beating and killing sugar plantation authorities and destroying machinery, Buildings and cane fields on sugar estates. The riot act was read in due course, but this did not help matters any.
 The British, West Indian and North American squadrons have been sent for. but it will be days before the vessels get together.
 The trouble is due to low wages. There are no troops in St. Kitts with the exception of a corps of volunteers, who are insufficient to handle the riot.
 St. Lucia is the nearest military sta- tion where troops could be obtained and the authorities have telegraphed there for detachment of the First East Indian regiment.
 A good many of the special constables who were sworn in yesterday joined the rioters last night and nothing can be done till the arrival of troops from St. Lucia.
 The gigantic steam yacht "Susitania,'' of the Orient Steam Navigation conn pany's fleet, arrived in Barbadoes yes- terday having on board MT. Arthur Chamberlain, brother of the Hon. Jo- seph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, and seventy other tour ists, including several notabilities. The steamer is making a round trip through out the West Indies.
 The Hamburg-American liner Colum- bia arrived in Barbadoes with tourists yesterday.

embarked.
 Vineyard Haven, March 9.-Steamer Manhansett of the New Bedford and Nantucket Steamboat company, while passing through Woods Holl and Martha's Vineyard, with passengers and freight, struck on one of the sunk en rocks in that locality. No fears of serious damage were then entertained as she did not appear to strike hard, but after she had been docked at Woods Holl and was discharging freight it was noticed that her bow was sinking and she soon settled to the bottom.
 She now lies at the end of Woods Holl wharf, with her rails awash and stern well out of the water. She had an unusually large amount of freight, which will be considerably damaged. She had on board four horses, which were landed safely but with difficulty. The Boston Towboat company's wreck ing tug Herald and lighter with divers, etc., went to the assistance of the steamer and will patch and float her. Her Martha's Vineyard passengers and mails were brought here this evening bv the Herald The narrow passage where the steamer struck is a dangerous one. and has rocks on each side and boats have a strong current to contend with. The company's steamboats have have been particularly fortunate in navigating this passage.
