ing:
"The most sublime triumph has this
day crowned the efforts of patriotic
heroism. After seven days of great
and superhuman efforts in the most
deadly and bloody struggle on record
in our history 5000 heroes have
obliged 10000 mercenary assassins,
hired for the misfortunes of our coun-
try, to bite the dust.
General Matos and his followers
have now an opportunity to rejoice in
their work. In the seven days of un-
ceasing battle they have seen the
blood Of their countrymen run in tor
rents.
Three thousand killed and wounded
is the least these unnatural sons Of
our beloved country have caused. They
will be pursued at all times and in all
places by frightful vision of widows
and orphans, the only legacy which
they have transmitted to their fami-
lies, and SO it will be with all who
have unjustly and wickedly taken
part in the most unreasonable and
criminal of revolutions.
"The God of nations has crowned
our Just and patriotic efforts and the
peace of Venezuela, the doorway of
her ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and prosperity, is
an evident fact"

Uncle Sans Trick.

In the quietest possible manner, and
with every precaution to secure Sc
crecy, the United States has encroach
ed upon Canadian territory to the
northeast of Cape Fox, and appro
priated to itself thousands of square
miles of land lying within the boun
diaries of British Columbia to the
westward of Portland canal.
Large stone huts, termed "houses
of refuge for Mariners" have been
erected comparatively recently on the
western shores of Portland, and from
the headquarters Of the canal a line
has been surveyed along the noun
tain ridges and across the divides in
northwesterly direction toward the
lskoot river, where it joins the Sti
kline.
In brief, such is the all important
and sensational information which has
just been brought to light through the
haphazard wanderings of some Cana.
dian prospectors through the terri
tory in question.
This line from Portland canal runs
northwesterly for a short distance and
then turns nearly due west, finally
connecting with the Iskoot river at
its confluence with the Stikine. At
that point there is to be found an old
post, supposedly erected by the Hud-
son Bay company, and by running the
line there. it is apparently the claim
of the American government that the
post in question was placed in posi-
ton by the Russians. The survey line
is distinctly marked by squared and
cut granite monuments.

DECISION FAvORS- germany
SAMOAN CASE HAS BEEN DE.
CIDED BY KING OSCAR II,
He Acted as Arbitrator Between Ger
many, England and United States
Last Two Named Were Demanding
Damages on Account of Losses
Every Point in Favor of Germany.

Washington, Nov. 19.-By previous
there has been published simultan-
eously in Washington, London and
Berlin the full text of the decision
given by his majesty, King Oscar IL.
of Sweden, as arbitrator between the
three countries named, Of certain
claims growing out of military opera
lions conducted in Samoa in the year
1899. The decision is long and
abounds in whereases and conclusions
and in substance it has been an
nounced heretofore in the cable dis
patches from Stockholm. The preced-
ing publication, however, did not con-
vey to the officials here full realiza-
ton of the complete victory won by
Germany in this arbitration, for it
appears that on every single point the
arbitrator adopted the most extreme
German view in opposition to Great
Britain and the United States.
The arbitration grows out of claims
of British SUBJECTS and American citi-
zens for compensation on account of
losses they alleged they had suffered
in consequence of unwarranted mill
tary action on the part of German,
British or American officers in Samoa,
between the first of January, 1899, and
the 18th Of May following. The ques-
ton really at issue was whether or
not the British and United States gov.
ernments should be considered respon.
sible for the losses.
The arbitrator recited that the Unit
ed States ship Philadelphia and the
British steamers Porpoise and Royal
list on March Is, 1899, opened fire
across the town Of Apia, Samoa, direct,
ing the same against the forces of
High Chief Mataafa; that the same
vessels brought the newly appointed
king Of Samoa, Manetoa, and his
forces to Mulinuu point and supplied
them with arms and ammunition for
the ensuing struggle against Mataafa.

WAVE OF LONDON CRIME.
Murder Trials Numerous, Suicide

The protracted coronation rejoicings

Suicide also is unusually prevalent.
The murders are mostly confined to

THE REAL D'ARTAGNAN.

Charles de Batz, or rather d'Artag- nan, was born in 16t2, not in 1923. the year generally given as the date of his birth. He entered the .aGardes Fran caises'' at cadet, and served at the isieges of Arras, Aire, at La Bassee and Bepaune,' in 1640 and 1901: at Collioure and Perpignan in 1642 Sent to the seize of Gravelines in 1s44, he donned the musqueteers' cloak on his return, and distinguisher himself at many other sieges. In 1846 he was attached to the personal service of Cardinal Mazarin. who employed him on various secret missions; he was rewarded by an ap- pointment to Iientenancy in the Guards in 1649, and made captain in the same regiment five years later Maza- Tin then ordered him to England to size up the situation under Cromwell, whose son would have been very suitable for Hortense Mancini; but before making an offer of his niece, the cardinal wished to be sure that the Protector was firmly established After the Eng fish republic had collapsed, d'Artagnan was again chosen by Mazarin to offer the unfortunate Hortense. together with a good sized dowry, to Charles II. It is needless to add that, whatever skill d'Artagnan may have employed, he failed in the two negotiations. In 1857 he returned to the musqueteers with the rank of sub-lieutenant of the first Company. He then took the title of Count d'Artagnan. At that time the first company of musqueteers was com manded by a nephew of Mazarin, Phil- ip Mancini, Duke of Meyers, a young man of twenty-five years, who trou- bled himself little with his duties, but was absorbed in the pastimes of the court; he was seldom seen at the Lou vre, and left his subordinate to receive his majesty's orders. D'Artagnan took advantage of his young, captains care- lessness and incapacity to occupy him. self wholly with the training and man. agement of the company. h
 Two years had passed since d'Artag- nan had become lieutenant of the first company of musqueteers, when he at last received the commission of lieuten- ant captain in this company, in 1867. The same year he was made brigadier of cavalry, and served in this capacity at the sieges of Tournai, of Douai, of Lille, and in the conquest of the Franche- Compe. In 1872, at the time Of the declaration of war against Holland. he became camp marshal, and in this rank fell at the siege of Maestricht June A, 16S.-Harper's Magazine.

REVISED STATUTES OPERATIVE.
Copies to Be Distributed During Present NNnnlr

Copies to Be Distributed During Present
 Week.
 The revision of the public statutes of Connecticut became operative July 1st. A few copies of the revision came from the hands of the printer yesterday, and by the end of the week the work will be available for public distribution. The commission practically completed it's work for the present edition fortnight ago, although typographical corrections were made in the proofs as late as last Friday afternoon. The index for the present edition is temporary, but a per- manent index, which will be more full and elaborate, will be prepared by the commission.
 The commission was created by spe- cial act of the general assembly in 1899. The members, appointed by Governor Lounsbury, are Donald T. Warner of Salisbury, Gardiner Greene of Norwich, Henry c. White of New Haven, James P. Andrews of Hartford, Michael Kenealy of Stamford and William A. King of Willimantic. A revision and compilation which were carefully pre- pared by the commission were approved by the legislature of 1901, which also di rected the commission to incorporate in- to the revision the public acts of the last session and to prepare an index of the complete work. The general assem- ply also appropriated S30,00O as compen- sation for the members of the commits sion. It also directed the comptroller to put each senator and representative on the free list for copy of the work.
 The commission has devoted a. great deal of time to the revision, and all the experts say that the revision is superior to any of it's predecessors. The infinite detail has been attended to with much care, and every effort has been put forth to make the revision as free from technical errors as possible.

A COMMERCIAL CYCLONE.

The Hirsh Stores have consummated the greatest purchase of mems under wear on record in this country, barring that of a big concern of New York and one of Chicago, who have bought larger quantities from the same mill, but sold goods at 50 per cent. higher than will be charged for here. The purchase ag- gregates to Eleven Thousand Garments, and comprises the balance of stock of a leading knitting mill whose repu- tation for high grade Derby-ribbed underwear is world wide, their goods being handled by most all representa- tive gentlemen's furnishing stores.
 Every garment before being packed in boxes by this concern must pass the eyes of the expert examiners, who when finding the smallest imperfection in the weave throw them one side and class them as seconds. The con- sumer, 99 times out of 100, df the dealer is not honest enough to state the fact) would never know the difference.
 The Hirsh system admits no changes it is small but sure profits often re- peated"-and as they buy so they sell, which means in this case the greatest underwear values ever heard Of or dreamed it possible. Silk finished, tur- tie necked garments with pearl but tons, at 15c Sale Saturday morning at g a. m. In order to give a slight idea of this cyclone, goods will be display ed in Church street windows over the Fourth.
 Everything must make way Thursday for the incoming of the underwear, and therefore most of the highest priced mems suits have been thrown into one great lot and priced at $500, as can be seen in our windows to-day. All other goods have received marching orders, and the prices will move them quickly to-day.
