Roadway Now Lacking.
(From the London Mail)
All that is wanted is an agi cement be-
tween Great Britain and Russ as to
! Afghanistan.
Already the enterprisfng Muscovite las
extended the scope of the Trans-Caspian
Railway TO such a degree that Russian
cars are actually running well inside
Afghan territory. Kushk, an Afghan from
tier town, is practically in Russian hands,
| and light railway is already under con-
struction to the famous Herat.
That is the situation on Afghanistan's
northern frontier. On the south British
India is apparently not less active. The
Beloochistan railway system, terpi, ating
at Gulistan karez, on the Afghan border,
|, is to be extended, and already work is be-
ing pushed forward in order to connect
Kandahar with the Indian railroad sys-
TEN.
In Central Asia Russia is actively en-
gagged in surveying and constructing
When this is completed all that will re-
main in order to make it possible to train
from Calais to Bombay will be to link
up the chain between Herat and Kandahar
an Insignificant distance of $50 English
miles.
That link being made, and the Central
Asian Railway finished, London to Bonn
bay will mean that the only chance for
seasickness will be on the twenty zone
mile strip of channel between Dover and
Calais.
Although the distances are nearly SINH
lar. the comparison between the sea and
land journeys is in favor of the latter.
By the Straits OF Gibraltar and the Suez
Canal the distance is $500 miles. and the
time occupied by the fastest Peninsular
and Oriental steamer is twenty-one days
BY the land route, allowing the aver
age approximate speed to be twenty five
miles an hour by the express trains the
journey would occupy only eleven days
four hour. over a distance approximately
estimated at 500 English miles. But
twenty-five miles an hour is a low esti-
mate. This speed is on the average con-
siderably exceeded even on Asiatic rail-
ways. and of course. doubled on Euro
pean lines.
Two changes of cars would be necessary
on the journey from Calais-at the
frontier on entering Russia and at the
Indian frontier. This would be occasioned
by the fact that tie Russian lines have
gauge nearly foot wider than the rest
OF European railways.
But such a route would have its Gisad-
-yantages. The huge steamship companies
which trade with India would be seriously
affected. Suez Canal shares would go
down with slump. Italy would suffer
considerably by the depreciation of the

The Alliance Leader received the fol-
lowing letter, the other day, from Re-
publican State Chairman Dick:
Columbus, Oct. 13, 1900.
Alliance Leader Publishing Co., AL
lance, Ohio.
Gentlemen:-It is scarcely necessary
| to call your attention to the prosperity
| that is apparent everywhere in all lines
of trade. The conditions throughout the
United States from a business stand
point were never better. What we want
| is continuance of these conditions. A
| change in the national administration,
we believe would be disastrous as it
would completely unsettle the business
| interests of the country.
Believing that you are desirous Of
continuing the policy which has brought
the country to its present prosperous
condition, 1 take the liberty of asking
you to aid this committee in its work
by sending such a contribution for the
purpose of defraying the legitimate ex-
penses of the campaign, as you may
deem proper. Such contribution will
be gratefully acknowledged.
Please send remittance. or make check
payable to the undersigned.
Very truly yours,
CHAS. F. DICK, Chairman.
And this Is the way the Leader an
swered it:
What unmitigated gall you have
got, Charley. The idea of asking a news
paper company which has already do
mated 5000 during the past year to the
Republican print paper trust, to aid it
in further extortion. No, Charley. the
Leader has nothing for you. We are
dead sore on trusts, like all other busi-
ness concerns who are paying extor-
tionate profits to these combinations,
neither do we care to go down into our
pockets for money to aid any political
party in Transforming this great and
glorious republic into an empire. As
to the prosperity" of which you speak,
the trusts, Office holders, and army con-
tractors, including Mark and brother
Abner, may have 1t but the idle work.
men in towns where the trusts have
closed mills are no. blessed with ii by

other thing it may happen to need. but

trust and imperialistic campaign"

idea had suggested itself while a party
of Canton and Massillon priests were on
their way to Canton on the interurban
line. A beautiful plat Of ground near
Reedurban, caused one of the company
to suggest that it would make a con-
venient and picturesque spot for cem-
etery and the suggestion was consid-
cred happy one by all the priests.
Father Kuebler said the space in St.

pied and the Canton cemeteries, he un-
derstood were well filed. While st.

ultimately be made to have the dead of

gregations buried in one cemetery.

Mr.. Carnegie's article In the North
American Review trying to give some
rational excuse for concluding to sup
port Mr.. Mckinley for reelection, con-
trasts with his severe denunciations of
the presidents imperial policy within
the past two years. 1 here append the
gentleman's New York letter, dated
February II, 1899, pinning on President
Mckinley the Philippine responsibility
as found in the congressional record,
volume 80, page 5273:
1.-THE president, in his Boston speech
yesterday makes this extraordinary
statement: "The Philippines, like Cuba
and Porto Rico, were intrusted to our
hands by war"
"On the contrary, the protocol signed
as the result of the war provided for the
Philippines, not like Cuba and Porto
Rico" but expressly reserved them for
negotiation with Spain as to their "fu-
ture control, disposition and govern.
ment."
1.-THE Philippines have been Entrusted
to us" solely by the unexpected demand
for them made by the president himself
after he had suddenly changed his
mind-which was at first that we should
not burden ourselves with them
"The senate asked him to lay before
It his instructions or correspondence
with the commissioners, which would
have proved this, but he refused.
"The Philippine burden is not charge
able to the war. This is the presidents
own Pandora box, his New Years gift
to this country, for which he alone ID
responsible. Neither congress nor the
people had any voice in the matter.
But one need not wonder why he should
now attempt to evade the responsibility
since he tells us that "every red drop,
whether from the veins Of an American
soldier or a misguided Filipino, is an
guish to my heart" His conscience
smites him. No wonder. The guilty
Macbeth also cried out, Thou canst
not say did It,"
whether the acquisition Of the Phil
ippines was wise or foolish, they are
upon our hands, not by the war, but by
the presidents own act, and he had
better stand up like q man and assume
the responsibility, asking his country
men to forgive his mistake IL he now
sees he has made one.

AN ALLIANCE DIVORCE SUIT
In Which Two Physicians Figure In
Some Sensational Allegations.
SHOCK CASE IN COURT TODAY.
Judge Taylor Heard the Arguments or
Counsel Several New Cases fiisd In
Common Pleas 10th Courts
Were Busy Throughout
the Day.

George M. stne is amuch abused hus-
band, according to a sensational petition
he filed Tuesday morning In common
pleas court, asking divorce from Mary
Stine.
Tie petition Is a vivid presentation OF
the woes of George and Mary, since their
marriage, in 'S5. George declares he
has conducted himself as O model hus-
band, but the defendant Mary, is alleg-
ed to have displayed an utter disregard
for her marital vows, or for the comfort
of her husband and children.
Mary ran to doctors, it is said. She
craved the society of medical men.
Finally, in '95, she eloped with DR.. Ed
ward Magenhauffen, and lived with him
in Cleveland for a year. How it came
that Mary left the doctor with the fierce
name the petition does not explain. At
any rate, she came back to her lawful
leige, sued for forgiveness, and was
taken back.
George AYERS that he made another at
tempt to live happy married life, but
afterward, no longer ago than in May Of
the present year, Mrs. Stine again found
medical gentlman who captivated her,
and the petition names DR.. E. c. Bell as
the guilty man.
Then, Stine says, he told his wife to
leave their happy home. Now he asks
for q divorce and the custody Of their
children. Rogers and Hart are the at
torneys.
Baldwin & Shields have fled petition
for the Central Savings bank, asking
judgment against John G. Barry and
John Duffy for $1.25s.11. balance due.
with interest on note for $4,000.
THAT INJUNCTION CASE.
Before Judge Taylor in court room
No. 2, City Solicitor Smith 10 making
hard fight for the city's right to use
water out Of West creek, and against
making the injunction perpetual. The
contention Of the city is that as the
Shocks acquiesced in the using Of the
water for a period of years, without
making any protest they are estoppcd
from enjoining the city.
Another line of defense IL that the.
amount Of water taken out Of the creek
does not materially affect the running
of the mill.
The Shocks cling to the claim that
they have been damaged and want the
city restrained from using water hence
forth during the hours in which they
operate their mill.
It is rumored that the Shocks would
sell all their rights in the matter to the
city for $4,000. but II is claimed their
property and privileges are not worth
more than one-fourth that amount.
COssACK DAMAGE CASE.
| In court room No. 1, Tuesday, the
Cossack damage case still occupied the
attention of the Judge and jury. The
testimony in chief was finished shortly
after noon and witnesses in rebuttal
were examined. After they have been
examined, arguments will be commenc-
ed. lN
The case will likely be concluded
Wednesday forenoon.
