MAPLESON'S TROUBLES.
Madame Darclee and Signor Demarchi
Leave His Company.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15-Madame Dar-
clee and Signor Demarchi, members of
Colonel Mapleson's Imperial Opera
Company, this evening gave out a
statement that owing to violation of
contract aud inability of Colonel Ma
pleson to pay, they had severed their
connection with the Imperial Opera
Company and return to Europe Satur-
day"
Colonel Mapleson late tonight said:
THE new Imperial Opera Company
does not owe either Nine Darclee or
Signor Demarchi one cent. On the con-
trary she has II 900 of our money,
while he has $500 more. This money
was paid them by the directors as an
advance. The understanding was they
We're to sing until that money had been
earned, when we were to advance them
sums. Nine. Darclee has sung but
twice, and despite the advance money
she held, at noon the day she first ap-
peared we received a demand for f220
from her and ESQ from him. This
we paid rather than have a discussion
When she sang the second time a sim
liar demand for the f220 was made
and We paid again.
Now, the whole trouble is here Ac-
cording to the terms OF our contract

This story is denied by the Northern

went down at the time the bridge was
said to have been washed way. Nine

Meeker and Orting, and Seattle was at
midnight without communication with
the outside world, as the telegraph
wires east and north are down.
The bridge over the Yakima River at
Cleelum was washed out last night,

POWER FROM NIAGARA FALLS.
1T WAS TRANSMITTED TO BUF-
FALO AFTER MIDNIGHT.
Two 5000 HORSEPOWER Dynamos
Set i'm rlotion by the Turning
of the Switch.

NIAGARA FALLS, Nov. 16--At one
minute after Sunday midnight, Secre-
tary W b. Rankine of the Niagara
Falls Power Company turned the switch
IN the main power house of the com
pany connecting the monster 5000 horse
power dynamos with the transformers
in the transformer house which are in
turn connected directly with the Buff
falo power transmission line and at
that same instant the electric power of
Niagara was for the first time sent out
beyond the confines of the city and di-
rect to Buffalo, a distance of some 22
miles.
1t was the grand finale in the long
heralded power transmission to Buffalo
and it was a success in every sense of
the word. The transformers and line
had been previously tested by l. r. Ed
monds of the General Electric Company
and on being found satisfactory and in
perfect condition were turned over to
w. A. breckenridge, the engineer Of the
company. Mr.. Rankine then went to
the main power house and threw the
switch. This first inStallment is sent
out on a block of 900 horse power and
is for the use of the Buffalo street rail-
way. The transmission line is - miles.
1 900 feet of which is under ground and
the cables along which the power is con-
Quoted are 100000 circular mills ca
pacity.
There are two transformers at this
end, each Of 80 horse power, the lar
gest in the world. and three at the Buff
falo end of 300 and 500 horse power The
course of the current is from the dyna-
mo through the busbars. which are
three inches in diameter. and over the
transformer TO the low potential switch
board. 1t goes as a quarter phase cur
rent from this switchboard to the trans
former at 200 volts. In the trans
former it is converted from a quarter
phase. 200 volts, to a three phase H.
600 volt. From there it runs 10 the
high potential switchboard which con-
meets the switches and ammeters, from
there To the lightning arresters and to
the top OF that arrester over to the
transmission line.
Reaching Buffalo it goes into the "step
down" transformer which reduces 1t
from / 600 10 300 volts. and then to the
rotary transformer which changes it
into $50 volt direct current, in which
form ii Is ready for use on the street
cars The lightning arrester is a very
curious device and is so arranged that
if the line is struck by lightning the cur
rent is Shunted off to the ground in
stead Of being allowed to pass through
the transformer. The current will be
Kept on continually. The problem Of
transmission is one which puzzled many
electricians, but 1t is thought the appii-
ances in the present plant Will make
the loss small and the transmission COM
mercially possible.

WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Many
statements respecting the attitude of
the Administration on the Cuban ques-
ton have been circulated during the
past week, and various articles of a
conflicting character have been distrib-
uted throughout the country.
The President has said that he does
not anticipate any trouble with Spain
over the Cuban situation and that there
is no intention to change the policy in
respect to the matter which was laid
down by the Administration a year
ago. In addition to this members of
the Cabinet have stated that the Cuban
matter would be left for the new Ad-
ministration to settle.
While following such a course the
facts warrant the statement that
should an emergency arise requiring
prompt and decisive action the several
departments of the Government will be
found keenly alive to the requirements
of the occasion and amply provided for
any emergency which may be encoun-
tered. Measures of a precautionary
character have been taken to meet any
critical conditions which may arise; in
other words, the United States is judi
ciously continuing the work of
Strengthening its Notifications and
works of defense, which have been in
progress for several years, and will
thereby be prepared to change it's poll

Investigation proves that army Off
GERS along the Atlantic coast are push

ments with all possible dispatch under
orders to have certain classes of heavy
ordnance ready for use at as early a
day as possible. Every precaution for
secrecy has been taken, and officers
located at the navy yards decline to
discuss their unusual activity. While
Secretary Lamont says he is trying to

which have been made in that direction

swollen beyond their banks and in many
the water is still rising.
Reports from the southern part of the
State are that Cowlitz River has risen
above the highest watermark in its
history, and that Castle Rock, a town
of 800 Inhabitants in Cowlitz County, is
entirely covered by water from one to
three feet deep. A strong current has
set in there and many houses are being
washed from their foundations. Che

o'clock four inches fell, two remaining g

The Puyallup River, which is the
outlet of all the creeks and small
streams of this region, has risen two
feet to-day, and where il was a calm,
sluggish stream before, it is now rag

In Mason County several hundred
feet of filling on the new Shelton and
Southwestern Railway was washed
away.
All that portion of the Great North
ern system from the Cascades west,
including the coast line, is paralyzed.
On the coast line about three-fourths
of a mile of track has been washed out
and even more serious damage has re-
suited in the Cascades where the main
line crosses Skykomish River four
times within a distance of two miles.
Two railroad bridges are washed out
in this locality and much trackage is in
undated where the rOadbed follows Ehe
river. The railroad bridge over White
River has been condemned as unsafe,
owing to high waters which are ex-
pected to sweep away the structure at
any moment and this has shut off com
munication with the Northern Pacific
main line, the Portland branch of the
Northern Pacific and likewise stopped
traffic on the Columbia and Puget Sound
Railroad.
Owing to the great landslide, the Seat
tie and International, connecting with
the Canadian Pacific has been at a
standstill for fifteen hours. The North
ern Pacific is sending passengers by
boat TO Tacoma where connection may
be made with Portland.
For several days all the wires on the
Great Northern have been down, but
this evening one wire was got into
operation again. No estimate of the
damage to the railroads $ property can
be obtained now, but on the Great
Northern alone it will amount to many
thousands of dollars
The rainfall for Seattle and vicinity
for November to date-fifteen days-has
been 7.06 inches. The greatest fall
known here before for an entire month
was only SIC inches.
