Mass Of English People Coming 10 Favor
Fair" Trade or Reciprocity.

Washington, Dec 2f.--There is a
large and ever increasing number OF
thoughtful and well-informed people in
i Great Britain who express the serious
! belief that il radical changes do not
come about in the near future the Unit
I cd Kingdom will be relegated to the
third position in the ranks Of the
worlds trade and commerce. This
statement is made by United States
Consul Boyle ct Liverpool, i'm his an
nual report. extracts from which were
made public, by the state department.
1t is conceded, says Consul Boyle
that in manufactures. Great Britain
within the last few years has failed to
meet the competition of the United
and Germany.
Mr.. Boyle says the optimistically In
clined plead exceptional and marvellous
natural advantages as far as the Unit
ed States is concerned. while as to Ger
many's fierce competition the unsatis-
factory financial and commercial situa-
tion now prevailing in that empire is
cited as an instance of a country BOOM
ing itself too rapidly.
Their. are fears expressed. says Mr.
Boyle that even in the carrying trade
The supremacy Of Great Britain is
thrca tened.
- There is a strong sentiment among
the masses of Great Britain and one
Winch appears to be gainging strength
as time goes on, in favor of bringing
about what has become popularity
known as fair trade. and which says
Mr.. Boyle, is nothing but reciprocity.
Protection per Sc. he says, is so very
much advocated but it is significant
that many of the most widely circulat
ed papers Of Great Britain are now
boldly advocating, policy Of fair
trade or do to others as they do to

Against the sentiment, however. the
consul says must be set the national
dislike to change established institu-

The FLOOD At HARMONY.
The Heaviest Damage Ever Wrought by a
Similar Disaster in Town.

HARMONY, Dee 0.-(SpeciaD. The
last Sunday evening. The water rose
higher than ever before and was so
high that it ran over the iron bridge at
the village to the depth of two feet. 1t
ran over the road at the east end,
carving away half of &. F. Spauld-
ing'S store. with a large portion of the
goods and houShold furniture. The wa
fer quilted and carried away the earth
where the store stood and up to the
travelled road 10 the depth of about i"
feet and extending from the bridge
foundation 10 near Mrs. Turner's store
and scuthward several rods.
Fred Tibbett's saw mill suffered bad
ly. having the tiume "burst out so he
cannot do any milling. either grinding
or saving for 4 long time.
The freshet carried off SilaS White
houses blacksmith shop and the car
pentcr shop annexed. Nearly all the
tools and stock was saved. The car
renter shop was landed in the road in
front of Mr. Bangs building potion
side rp.
At the Bartlett Woolen mill the water
washed away the entire road from the
mill for several rods below to the depth
of nearly eight feet. IF the current had
not passed around the mill in this way
the mill would have been destroyed.
The bridge on the Wellington road
mile north of the village was carried
away The bridge ntGr Gilmore Baileys
moved out of it's foundations, and rem
dercd impa ssabie.
The bridge at Mainstream had one
abutment undermined. and travel rem
dercd dangerous. Several other smaller
bridges were either carried away or
badly damaged. Roads were quilted,
and in places washed out entirely.
The railroad had many washOuts on
the line to Pittsticld. and ears cannot
run for at least Il week. There has not
been a mail in or out since Saturday.

A large quantity of Mr.. Spaulding's
goods were lodged on either banks OF

from the village to Moose pond.
sThe goods that were rescued before

posited in &. G.. Mc.1aughlin's store. and

VENEZUELA Is PLEADING.
Seeks TO Restore Diplomatic Relations With
Government Of France.

Correspondence of The Associated Prsssp
Paris, Dec. 15.--Vcnezuela having failed
, last year in her attempt to renew diplO-
matte relations with France. even after
the good Offices of the United States had
been called in to assist in the negOtia-
ernment to instruct the Spanish ambassa-
dor in Paris to plead her cause.
The ambassador Marquis Leon v Cas-
tillo. has. consequently. laid the prOpOS-
ais of Venezuela before the French gov-
ernment and they will shortly be taken
into consideration. The bases of the pro-
posals are as follows: Arrangement OF
the French claims arising out of the rev.
olutions of 1892, 1899. 1890 and 1891 within,
IA period which will not exceed one year.
France. like Italy. shall recognize the
Venezuelan courts as having jurisdiction
to decide French claims and that the du-
ties imposed on Venezuelan conce, i'm
ported in Franch. shall be removed.
The French government intends. II Its
conditions are not shortly accepted, to
impose prohibitivc import duties on Ven
ezue,an cacOa. "A per cent. crop of which
is consumed by this country. II this
measure were to be put into effect it
know where to place her cacoa.
The Caracas Chamber of Commerce, re-
alizing the danger. has written to the
Chambers If Commerce at liaNrc. Bcr-
deaux and Marseilles. to the effect that
il is endeavoring to induce the govern
mcnt of Venezuela to listen to reason in
order that an understanding may be ar
rived AT.
The correspondent learns on good au-
thority that the French government is
determined to be lcnient. having tive
wears ago accepted protocol signed by
Gen Pictri. the authorized representative
of Venezuela which was afterwards re-
fused by the government of Venezuela.
