The electric and rain storm OF Thurs
day last was the most severe in the men,
DRY of "the oldest inhabitant." The
lightning was vivid and the thunder
very loud and long continued. The
rainfall was very great and the damage
to roads in the storm centre was serious.
The road in front of Fowler's store,
Clements, was washed ont and Is i'm
passable. Conservative estimates place
tho damage to road and bridges within
half mile of Clements at over o hun
dred dollars. At Mrs. Lucy Russell's
several sheep were drowned and consid-
cradle damage done all through the
section. Within the lines Of the storm
all roads are badly washed and road su-
pervisors will have hard work to put
them in order for Court.

According to the comments of the Paris
press, American women are the best

Figaro says that American women have

Election takes place in Vermont today
and the result viii be awaited with in
terest as an Indication Of the condition of
political sentiment, not only in that
state. but throug hout the East. There is
no doubt, of course, tnat the RepubIi-
cans Will carry the state by a large ma
jor1ty. How large, IS ths question, and
the significance of the election lies in
the answer. The Republicans do not
expect so large a majority as four years
ago, which was 40, 600, because the Demo-
Gratis were utterly demoralized then and
a great many OF them staid at home.
They do, however, expect to throw
as many votes as In 1896. Their esti-
mate Of majorities ranges from $4,000
to 80, 900, the average of their predic-
tions being about 80, 900. OF course the
Democrats will claim that any majority
below 10000 will be a gain for them, but
thought it may be gain technically, If
the Republican vote comes up to that
Of four years ago it viii mean only that
the Democrats who staid at home four
years ago, came out this year. An in.
creased Democratic vote Will mean that
the party Is better united than four
years ago, and this is all it will mean
unless the Republican vote falls off.
There are some local questions which 1t
is feared may hurt the Republicans
somewhat, notably that of prohibition
and license. 10 some of the towns there
has been quite an accession of foreigners
and they are expected to vote the Demo
cratic ticket. The bitter fight over the
United States senatorship may keep a
few Republicans at home. But the Re-
publican leaders expect that practically
the full Republican vote VIII be thrown
and that the majority will be large
enough to show that there is no serious
detection because of any OF the admin
istration's policies,

CONSISTENT POLITICIANS.
(Boston Advertiser. }

1t appears to be a favorite amusement
for politicians on either side IN the
present campaign to taunt their oppon-
ents W. til inconsistency. The consisten-
cy OF about every prominent figure in
the campaign has been challenged re-
peatedly, as if it were some wonderful
thing In American politics for man
TO change his opinions, as political stu
ations also change. Or course, ii the
rule were to be applied that no public
man could be allowed to speak unless
his whole political course were consis-
tent with his present attitude, there
would be a remarkable dearth OF cam
pa1gn speakers. Nearly all of the promi-
nent Republicans in this state have been
found at some time reluctant to support
the Republican candidate. The kaIeido-
ssopic political career of e. f. Williams
is a matter of record There are SO many
glass houses In Massachusetts that it is
very dangerous to begin throwing stones.

Report Received on the Grounding of

Washington. September S.-The navy
department. has just received by mail
the official report of Capt. Wilde OF the
battleship Oregon, of the circumstances,
attending the grounding of that ship in
the Gulf of Pc Chill, last June, and her
successful salvage. The report goes to
confirm the departments previously ex-
pressed conviction that the grounding
was not in any respect attributable to
fault on the part Of Capt. Wilde or any
officer Of the Oregon who, in fact, ap-
pear to have taken extraordinary precau
lions to guard against the accident. The
Oregon has now been com pletely re-

Instead OF abating, England S suspicion
of Russia s move in China grows strong
er. 1t is hard to make the people OF Eng
land believe that after gradually edging
into China for years, Russia has sud
denly abandoned her policy of graf, sand
is ready to withdrawn entirely from the
Chinese empire. The general opinteh is
that Russia's new move is for the dual
purpose OF breaking up the concert of
the powers and at the same time placing
the Chinese government under heavy
obligation, which will strengthen Rus
sian influence In the future. In this con-
nection it may be said that it is claimed
In well-1nforrned quarters that the po-
sitiOn of our government has not been
correctly understood. It is said that
the administration was not really
friendly to Russia's proposal of with
drawaI from Pekin. 1t believes still, as
1t always has, that joint occupation of
Pekin until a final settlement is ar
rived at, is the true policy, but 1t in
sists that this occupation must be by all
the powers. The withdrawal of one, like
Russia, would break the concert and
destroy the harmony which our
government holds to be absolutely es-
sentiaI. If Russia withdraws, the United
States will withdraw, too, but it hopes
that Russia VIII change her mind and
remain.

1t seems to be settled practically that
Mr.. Coler's chances of getting the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor of New
York are gone. There Is a clear MAORI
ty of the delegates against him, and as
they are completely under the control of
Croker and his henchmen, they viii be
sure to stick. The only question left is
whether Hill will stick to the controller
and go down with him, or will try
to transfer his support to somebody
else. AS there is nobody else that would
stand any better chance Of success under
Hills auspices than Coler, the prob
ability is that he will stick. Moreover
by sticking to Coler he can get some
moral credit which may be useful to him
in the future.
