THIRD RAIL TO BE SAFE.

New Safety System for New Britain
 Branch to be Tested by Consolidated
 Officials.
 The trial of the. new safety third rail- which is likely to be adopted for per- manent use on the New Britain branch of the Consolidated road will take place to-day. Colonel Heft, chief electrician of the road, and other officials will be present. The new system is known as the McElroy Gunnow Electro railway system, and is designed to be a guard to the dangers that lie in the present system. As 1t is now any one on the track who steps on the middle rail and the outside rail at the same time re- ceives shock, which in many cases has proved fatal. Under the system devised by the company mentioned, this danger is done away with. and there is no danger whatever in the old system. As explained by expert elec- tricians, the electricity is confined to the exact point of impact with the car and moves along with the car un- til disconnected. There is no danger in the new system, and many railroad men consider that it will be we'll re- ceived everywhere by electric road managers

CONNECTICUT TOBACCO CROP.

Is Ahead of Expectations Yield
 Reaches 2,000 Pounds to Acre.
 A correspondent of the Connecticut Valley says concerning the tobacco crop: "The crop is curing and strip ping way ahead of expectations. The cure Is thin to medium. In color the leaves are largely rich, pure cnna- mon, with darker color occasionally in some of the crops In sections plants are stripping from sixteen to eighteen leaves to the plant. Those who wish to find a flaw somewhere in the crop have their only chance in magnifying some little deficiency, or alleged deficiency, in the grade of top leaves. Occasional ly raiser topped high, and in his crop there may be streaks where the top leaves can be criticised unfavorably. It is very rarely that pole sweat is found. There are many crops which indicate 1900 to 1850 pounds per acre, and few indicating 1000, with a rare crop possibly raising to 2,100. In Jan uary the weight will probably be 1,S00 to 2,0O0-about 300 to $50 pounds over 1898 and about 500 or 700 pounds over 1897"

UNCLE SAM LIQUlDATES
PAYSA BILL or $1,O0O TO NEW HA
 ZEN HOSPIT6L.
The BilI yvas for Payment for Treaf-

The BilI vns for Payment for Treaf-
 ment of Sick and Wounded Soldiers
 of the spanish War.
 The New Haven hospital has been waiting long time for the govern ment to settle the hospital claim of $1, 900 for treatment of some of the sick and wounded soldiers in this city dur- ing the war with Spain, but this week the authorities received a check from Uncle Samuel for that amount after the much red tape and deliberation re- quisite for it's appearance had been gone through with.
 The bill was the second presented to the government, the first for $2000, be- ing paid shortly after it was received at Washington. There was much formal ity undergone before the second bill was approved for the reason that the soldiers, the war having come to close, were discharged from the ser vice by the government while still at the hospital. The authorities at Wash ington were puzzled as regards paying the bill on the ground that they were not obliged to settle it as the men had been mustered out, and that as far as the government was concerned 1t was not obligated to the men for the full amount of the bill The bill was dis cussed and pigeon-holed and reconsid- cred for nearly a year and after due delberation it was voted that 1t be paid. The hesitation of the govern ment in the case hung upon technical ities, but upon viewing the facts it was decided that it was a just claim, as 1t was no fault of the hospital that the men in question were discharged from the service before being able to leave the hospital.

 THE STOCK MARKET,
Animated Morning Career Brought to n
 Close In the Afternoon.

New York, Nov. S.-The stock market
 started off this morning on an appar-
 ently prosperous and animated career of
 rising prices. But before the trading had ceased this afternoon the early
 gains were practically all wiped out and
 a level of prices lower than Monday es-
 tablished, Various considerations con-
 nected with politics were an influence
 in the early rise. But there were large
 holdings by professional operators
 which had been bought last week in the faith that an outside demand for stocks
 would develop and the first hour of the
 trading was devoted to the selling of
 these holdings on large scale at the
 high level of prices to take profits.
 When it was seen that the buying de- mand was not continuing in force the sagging tendency set in. Efforts were made to sustain prices by manipulation of special stocks, members of the iron and steel group and the prominent high priced industrials being conspicuous.
 The violent break in Leather and the heavy selling of Manhattan had an un- settling influence on the whole market and the stiffening of the money rate and uneasness over the future of the money market completed the discour- agement of the bulls. The organized support which has pushed up Leather for several weeks seemed entirely with drawn and it was allowed to drop by successive stages to 28 compared with 40 at the close on Monday. A sudden rally in the closing dealings brought the price back to 31. Manhattan had risen to Ill 3-5 when the statement for the fiscal year made it's appearance showing a failure to earn the increased dividends paid on account of additional stock by a margin of $23S, 1850. The break in the price carried the quotation down to 107 1-2 with a final recovery of only half. The industrials showed marked sympa- thy in this break and the level of the whole market fell below Monday, the general rally being but feeble. The fall in sterling exchange rates was a reflec- ton of the hardening money market here, but it gave no hope of relief by gold imports, owing to the urgent place as she was purchasing a similar need not only in London but at all continental centers. There was evi-

SOMOA AGREEMENT REACHED
BRITAIN RENOUNCES ALL RIGHTS
 IN THE ISLANDS.
The Group Divided Between Germany and the United States England Com- pensated Elsewhere.

Berlin, Nov. 8.-It was officially an- nounced this morning that an agree ment, subject to the approval of the United States, had been arrived at be- tween Great Britain and Germany, by virtue of which the Samoa act is re- pealed and the islands of Upolu. Savaii and the small adjacent islands fall to Germany as free property, and the is- land or Tutuila and the subsidiary is lands go to the United States Grea+ brltaln renounces any claim to the Sa moan Islands and Germany, in turn renounces any claim to the Tonea rs lands and to Savage Island in favor of Great Britain, and also cedes Choiseul ana san Isabel, the two easterly islands or the Solomon group, with their insular surroundings, to Great Britain.
 The consular representatives of the two powers in Samoa and the Tonga Islands are to be withdrawn for the present, and German subjects are to have the same rights as British subjects in regard to free and unimpeded enlist ment of native laborers in the whole of the Solomon group in the possession of Great Britain, including Choiseul and San Isabel.
 At the same time an arrangement has been arrived at between the two pow ers by virtue of which the so-called neutral zone in the hinterland of Ger man Togoland and the British gold coast will be divided in such manner that the boundary of the German and British territories will be formed by the Daka river up to a point where the lat ter cuts the ninth degree of latitude, thence north by a line to be fixed by a mixed commission. To this is append ed a reservation that the countries of Lamprusi and Gambasa shall fall to Great Britain, and the countries of Yau- di and Chakesi to Germany. Finally, Germany has promised to renounce her extra territorial rights in Zanzibar till the expiration of the commercial treaty of 1902, with the proviso that the renun- citation is only effective when the other nations abandon their a-territorial rights in Zanzibar in favor of Great Britain.
 Regarding this agreement, the United States assent is regarded as assured.
 A further agreement concluded be- tween Germany, Great Britain and the United States is to the effect that the question of compensation for claims for damages during the late trouble is to be submitted to an imperial court of arbitration, which will decide all the claims,
