PUT UP MORE BOXES.
Long Run for a Box Gives Fire Good
 Headway.

In addition to what has been said on the question of expenses incurred by people who desire to live on the out skirts of the city and insist Oh having all public improvements, it might not be out of place to add police and fire protection In these items should be included about $4u,Q00 for an engine house and several thousV d dollars q year to maintain it. 1t was stated at the meeting of the board of finance the other night by MT Lord that the lire department of Waterbury is made quate to the needs of the town. It is doubtful if there are many people who look at the question in this light. It is certain that many good citizens claim that, considering the number of well equipped fire companies in the factories which are capable of render ing valuable service in time of need, Waterbury is we'll supplied with fire protection and that little, if any, addl- tions to that department will be re- quired for years. If our fire depart ment lacks anything in the way of ef- ficiency it is not in houses or men. It could be strengthened by the use of more boxes than we have. The de- partment is all right, but in some dis tricts the means of communicating with it are meager. A box pulled in any part of the city will bring the fire horses and force of men to your door in a few minutes, but the trouble i'll some places is that when q fire starts one has to run long distance before he strikes box. Why wouldn't it be well to increase the efficiency of the fire department by locating boxes in all sections where they are needed. rather than go to the cost of new houses, which Will not be any benefit except in the particular sections fa- vored by them? So far as the interest of the public is concerned. 5000 ap- propriated for boxes would mean more in the way of fire protection than ten times that amount for q new house. This is not the popular view of it. though. The houses have more adro- cates than the boxes and in conse- quence we may soon see the boxes Gis- pensed with altogether and an order issued informing people who want to do business with the fire fighters 10 call at the engine houses.

ALL QUIET IN COLON.


 Transit Across the Istlrnus Not Inter
 ruDted
 COLON, ColomDia, Nov. 22.-There is no disturbance in this city. There has been no rude behavior on the part of the Liberals. Foreigners are being respected and protected, and transit across the isthmus is uninterrupted. The postoffice, prefecture, all the oth- CT government offices and nearly all the commercial houses have been closed.
 The feeling of the community cannot be regarded as antagonistie to Liberal ism. The existing conditions have ere ated no panic. but it is recognized that the fact that the Liberals hold Colon while the Conservatives are in posses sion of Panama creates a state of af fairs which cannot possibly continue. The following provisional appoint ments have been made by the Liberals: Senor Esprella to be prefect, Dr. Val verde to be mayor, Dr. France to be postmaster and Senor Silva to be cap- tain of the port. Other minor appoint ments were also filled.
 The treasury safe was opened yester- day afternoon in the presence of wit nesses. It was found to contain 10S0 Colombian dollars, equivalent to $450 in gold. The former postmaster also handed over to the Liberals the cash and the postage stamps in his posses sion. The municipal offices, in charge of Liberals, will probably be opened to- day.
 It is said the gunboat Marietta, which sailed from Key West for Colon Nov. IS, has been signaled.

 ATHENS, Nov. 22.-The agitation against the proposal to translate the gospels into modern Greek was con- tinued yesterday Twenty thousand persons assembled around the ruins of the temple of Jupiter Olympus and took part in q demonstration organized by the students. 4 resolution was passed calling on the holy synod to ex- communicate any person who translat- ed the gospels into Greek as now spoken.

 During the demonstrations following the assemblage several shots were fired at NJ. Theotokis, the Greek pre- mier, but without effect
 Great excitement prevails. Strong military detachments guard the palace md the residence of the premier. Ev- erywhere anxious groups are discuss ing the situation.
 Heartrending scenes occurred when the bodies of the dead were handed over to their relatives.
 It is rumored that armed men have arrived at the university, but the build ing is still guarded by the students, who are adopting military discipline.

A Clever Safe Robherx.

ALTOONA, Pa, Nov. oo2.-The town of Duncanville was thrown into dark ness at o'clock yesterday morning by the cutting of the electric feed wires. While the town watchman was search ing for the cause of the trouble dull explosion was heard at the postoffice building. He found that the safe had been wrapped i'll carpets and blown open with nitroglycerin. All the stamps, money and papers in the safe, amounting to several thousand dollars, were taken. The cracksmen escaped without being seen. A month ago q similar attempt was made on the safe, but the thieves were frightened away.

SITUATION ON THE isTAMus.
Measuring Dispatches From Consul
 Gudger and Captain Perry.

Measuring Dispatches From Consul
 GudEer and Captain Perry.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Save for the two reassuring dispatches from Consul General Gudger, at Panama, and Captain Perry of the battleship Iowa, lying off that port. neither the state nor navy department has re ceived any advices concerning the situ- ation on the isthmus.
 Great interest is felt in official cir cles here as to the outcome of the Chorrera expedition, for it is realized that the result of the engagement at that point will be decisive in giving ei- ther the Conservative or the Liberal element control of the isthmus.
 In few days the gunboat Concord will have reached Panama to relieve the Iowa, and the Marietta, on the At lantic side, will be at Colon to take the place of the Machias. However, if the present situation continues all four Of these vessels will be held on the isth- mus pending further developments.

 The resources at hand will amount to about S7,500. These figures do not include the cost of running the town for the last three months of this year. which will include the payment of some temporary loans. Selectman Doran and Clerk AIcMahon were pres ent and explained the different items in detail. There are at present 1SS persons in the almshouse and after looking over the estimated cost of the institution for 1902 Commissioner Ramon remarked that they could be boarded at the Earle house for that amount and suggested that they be brought down there. After some ex- plantation it was shown that the com missioner had not figured upon the number of persons maintained at the institution, which is generally large during the winter. and had also over looked the cost of clothing, medicine. burial expenses. and other things, all of which was explained by Selectman Doran. showing that the annual eX pense for each inmate is less than S2-25 a week.

The board spent considerable time on these items and thought they had them at the lowest notch. Mayor Kilduff looked radiant and happy as he leaned forward and informed the board that they could cut at least $500 on teachers salaries on account of the opening of the parochial school in the north end, and besides something could be spared from text books and supplies.
 The board will have another session tomorrow night.
