to Her Demands.

PARIS, Dec. 27.-The Foreign Office
here confirms the report from Port-of-
Spain, Trinidad, that the Government Of
France has notified the Venezuelan Gov
ernment that the rights Of N. Secrestat
CT Bordeaux have been infringed by the
seizure Of the property in VenezueIa of
SenOr Manuel A MatOs, the leader Of the
new revolution against President Castro
The French Government holds that the
property no longer belongs to Senor
A1atOs. as he had leased it to N. Secre-
stat and that the Venezuelan Govern
mcnt IS bound by the recognition Of NJ
Secrestat's title by the Venezuelan Con-
sui mere, before whom the question came
Up.
The French Government does not expect
that any complications VIII arise on ac-
count Of its representations on the sub

question, to be settled in a few days.

LIVELY AT RIVERSIDE.
Wind Puts an End to. Work in the
Town

RIVERSIDE, Dec. 27.-This section was
visited to-day by the most severe wind
storm experienced in years. The wind be
gan blowing early in the day and con-
tinued blowing until late in the evening,
clouds of dust and sand partially obscur-
ing the sky at times and making it very
uncomfortable to venture out of doors and
impossible to do any work. Some dam
age to shade trees resulted, many being
blown down. Orange groves were badly
shaken much of the fruit being blown
from the trees The extent of the loss is
not known at present, but 1t is not likely
TO be very great.
The city was without communication
with the outside world by rail most of the
day, as trains were unable to get through
the sand banks in the vicinity of Cuca-
monga. The weather this evening is still
disagreeable, with a north wind blowing
, though not strong as during the day
Orange growers say that the damage to
fruit from pricking will increase the Gull
percentage, but how much cannot be stat
ed until an investigation is made.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The North

tieships Kearsarge, Massachusetts and
Alabama. with the collier Hannibal has
arrived at Culebra Island, the newly Sc
Iec:ed naval station, east of the island
Of Porto Rico and very near to St.

the Venezuelan coast than Havana, from
which point the squadron has just arrived

Venezuelan matters, but is to carry out
certain strategic movements framed by
the general naval board. The harbor of

AIR BRAKE EXPERIMENTS.
Tests of Engin eer Gosse's Invention
Being Made.

On a Southern Kansas train running
between Kansas City and Wellington is
an automatic continuous air brake at
tachment, the invention of E. L. Gosse,
a Santa Fe engineer at Chanute. So far
its use has been merely an experiment,
but the claims of the inventor seem to
be fully upheld.
The invention is a simple arrange
ment of valves whereby, on passenger
trains, the signal pipe is used to supply
a continuous high pressure in the brake
cylinder The reserve force is drawn
from an auxiliary air tank on the en-
CINE. This arrangement makes it posi-
BILE to hold the brakes set for an indefi-
mite time and makes the invention in
valuable to mountain traffic. 1t can be
attached to freight trains by the simple
addition of a second air pipe to each car
The signal pipe on passenger trains per-
forms its original function in connec-
ton with that of supplying a continuous
pressure.
This is a great improvement over the
Westinghouse brake, which is not cap
able of an incessant pressure When a
cylinder of a Westinghouse brake be-
comes empty the brakes relax until they
are supplied again from the engine.
Owing to this the air brake of today is
not to be depended upon in mountain
grades. An air brake supplying an I'M
interrupted pressure has been long
sought by railroad men and inventors
have worked over the proposition many
years. Mr.. Gosse has, evidently ac-
cOmpliShed the aim.

BLACK LEG RAvAGE.
Farmers i'm Sumner County Los
ing Many Young Cattle.

Arkansas City, Kan, Oct. 21.-From
Neal Pickett, of Guelph, Sumner county,
who was in the city Saturday evening
from his farm. it was learned that he
had already lost twenty head of calves
from this terrible and seemingly incura-
BILE disease of black leg.
His brother, ]. S. Pickett. has lost five,
Moses Christian six, the Morrow brothers
four and a Mr. Converse, near South
Haven, twenty. Others in the same
vicinity have lost lesser numbers.
The calves are first taken with high
fever, become lame in one leg only, the
ears drooD and within four days they
die. No remedy for the disease is known
by those whose herds have been
scourged, but Mr. Pickett says that he
vaccinated the we'll calves and none of
them have taken sick He secured the
vaccine from the Agricultural college at
Manhattan.

Will the MP. Change Division Points

Rumor has started the story that Osa-
watomie is to lose the division head
quarters of the Missouri Pacific before
long. Whether there is any real cred
ence to be placed in the report is doubt
full 1t is based principally upon the fact
that George Gould recently made a tour
of the system and speculation has it
that he favorS doing away with
Osawatomie as a division point. Lately
that company purchased eight acres of
land in Kansas City adjoining the
ground now occupied by it, and it is
thought by those who have started the
rumor that Kansas City will get most Of
what Osawatomie loses. Coffeyville and
Council Grove are figuring, however, on
some repair shops and additional crews.
number of railroad men already on
preferred runs are wanting to move to
Council Grove, but according to reports
can't find house room. No reason has
been suggested for cutting out Osa-
watomie, and it is possible that the
present excitement has no other motive
than to rack the nerves of the business
men of that place.
