STATE ORGANIZATION.
To Secure Police Pension Funds for
 Various Cities.

To Secure Police Pension Funds for
 Various Cities.
 The state police organization will be represented at the next general as- sembly in Hartford says the Meriden Record, and in addition to being in- corporated will ask the legislature to assist them ill securing q permanent police pension fund in towns and cities throughout the state. They will ask for an enactment similar to the State Firemen's association fund, which is allowed an appropriation each year for disabled and aged firemen. If the po- lice are successful ill the plans they now have under way, Meriden as well as other cities will be able to take bet ter care of the policemen when they grow old and feeble. 1t is safe to say something will be done to bring about the state fund, and if so, Meriden will have pension list after all New Brit ain has committee at work trying to have such q fund adopted. But little opposition is shown there so far
 All the cities and towns are allowed , per cent of money received from license money each year, and the fund would receive considerably over $1 900 in Meriden annually. Another source of revenue that the fund will have is that of fines or forfeitures on the part of members of the force.. At present there is no fine enforced i'll the depart ment, but when man Is suspended his pay for the period of suspension reverts to the city. Under the pension system it would % into the pension fu1d. Rewards obtained by policemen and revenues from sale of unclaimed properties also form part of the pro- posed fund. Probah'y the greatest rev enue for tho fund world be from what is obtained hv thu personal efforts of members of tho force such as gifts to them for excen+ional service as well as money that thn- nav raise bv enter tainments and other methods"

MANY INFECTED CATTLE
New Workers Will Keep Out An
 imals from This Vicinity.

Strict Orders to Exclude All Cattle
 That Have Any Symptoms of the
 Disease That is Now Prevalent
 What the Government Lost in 1S41
 By the Bringing of Distemper by
 Dutch Cow.
 New York, Nov 29.-In order that the danger of infection from the hoof and mouth disease now reported to be prevalent among the cattle in Massa- chusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut may not spread in this city and state, Dr Ernest J. Lederle, president of the repartment of health, IS taking precautions. However, most of the meat used here comes from Wetsern stock yards, and the milk rom New Jersey, New York and Penn syIYania. Veterinary inspectors have been stationed i'll New York, Kings, queens and Richmond counties. They nave orders to use the strictest meas ufes to keep out any cattle which may show any signs of the disease.
 According to the bacteriologists of the city health department, the disease Is new to this country, but is well known in, Europe, especially fn Bel gium. The mortality from it is not high, but it is extremely contagious. 1t is due largely to the heat from the organic matter, and it attacks the hind hoofs first, where the animals stand in their stalls. The disease is transmit ted to'the mouth while the animal licks it's feet and is thus called the hoof and mouth disease. The germs of poison enter the blood through the stomach, much the same as those of diphtheria do; the temperature is elevated and fever sets in. This, of course, affects the milk of the cow. and will naturally injure those who drink it. A Dutch cow brought pleuro-pneumonia into this country in 1841. It was called the COW distemper, and the government lost from $500o,0OO to $1O,O00, GOO worth of cattle in a year. "&.

IN MILLlONAIRES ROW.
A Sixteen Story Apartment Building to Be Put Up in Upper Fifth Avenue,
 At New York.

New York, Nov 29.-Projects for the erection of a Is story apartment build ing in Millionaires row, upper Fifth avenue, recently announced, have been abandoned. When the property which IS between 9th and Goth streets chang ed hands not long ago the plans were given out for the new building there was a great commotion among the res idents nearby, among them Frank j.. Gould. Such a structure would have shut off the light from his new home and would have affected many other mansions. The man who caused the excitement has now sold the property and it is believed the holders of the adjoining property eithe" formed a pool to buy him out or secured a pur- cnaser who has agreed to erect a pri- vate residence. 5..

for an $8O,0O0,0O0 barge canal can be fully obtained at an expenditure not to exceed fifty five or sixty millions of dollars. In other words the governor is in favor of what is known as the lake route, which State Engineer and Surveyor Bond after most exhaustive examination decided can be built for SAP, ,198756, making total when the present OsWego and Erie canals are improved Of about $60,000,000. This lake route includes about 20 miles through Oneila lake and 112 miles in Lake Ontario from the mouth of the Oswego river to Olcott, rejoining the present canal route at Lockport by a new canal IS mifes long from Olcott.
 One of several advantages claimed for the lake route is saving of time on the round trip between Troy and Buffalo of B hours for a barge and consort, or for a propeller, being five barges of fl hours.

APPEAL IS TAKEH
Flanagan-Hynes Case Will go
 To The Supreme Court.
LOCAL ATTORNEYS DISCUSS IT.

Some Lawyers Say That the Decision
 Leaves Big Room for DouDt-Ihe
 Case is Attracting as Much Atten-
 lion Since the Decision Was Ken
 dered as Before
 Attorney O'Neill filed his appeal in the Flanagan-Hynes election case to- day. The appeal is mere statement of few lines notifying the supreme court of erors that it is the appear or James A. Hynes from Judge Shum- ways decision in the superior court.
 This case is still causing consider able comment among the legal frater- nity. Flanagan's counsel say the de- cision of Judge Shumway is based on the broadest possible grounds, that It does not go into the question or Hynes' nomination at all. the legality or illegality of it, or doest it say any thing about the votes cast for him. It merely says practically that Flana- gan was nominated by the regular town convention of his alleged party that he received more votes than Hynes and he should accordingly be given a certificate of election.
 On the other hand there are law yers who say that the decision has left a wide speculation as to what the final decision will be. Judge Shun1- way says "in view of the great re- suit" and these lawyers in comment- ing say what was the "great result?" Adherence of about 100 votes" There was plenty of opportunity they say for "constructive fraud" that its voters were liable to be deceived by the word democratic on both the ticket that had Flanagan's name and that which had Hynes's name. Constructive fraud does not mean actual or intentional fraud or deception, but that there were means by which the voter could easily have been deceived on account of the word democratic" being on both the tickets. As soon as possible Judge Shumway will be asked for a | finding so that the mater may be heard and disposed of at the earliest opportunity.
 Regarding the other elements in tho case, Edward J. Donahue the defeat- ed candidate for constable and MT Hogan, the defeated candidate l for selectman Donahue has , already consulted counsel, but nothing has been heard from MT Hogan. Hynes' term as registrar will not expire until the first Monday in next January, but on account of the appeal from Judge Shumway's decision he will remain in office until the case is disposed of by the courts or otherwise settled

Clashed To-day on Football Field at
 Philadelphia
 : Philadelphia, Nov 29.-The defenders of the nation, the army and the navy, to-day became deadly rivals in a con- test for superiority on the football field. The occasion was the annual game between the elevens representing the Annapolis naval academy and the West Point military academy.
 Better weather for the game could not be desired. There was but little wind and the air was crisp and invig- orating, tempered by a warm sun. The army was slightly the favorite.
 The contest was attended by cabinet officials, officers of the United States army and navy, and leading citizens of this and other cities. L
 Play statred promptly amid the plaudits of the large throng.
 Before the first half was over the army had scored 10 and the navy eleven were unable to cross the Iine

OLD CASE SETTLED.
Prof Asser, the Dutch Jurist
 Gives His Decis4ol.
THE UNITED STATES WINS.

The Cases Aro.e Out of the Seizure of
 American Whaling Vessels by the
 Russian Government-The Schooner
 c. H. White is Awarded $32,444, the
 James Hamilton Lewis $2o,5sS, the
 Kate and A.na S1,4ss. and the Cape
 Horn Pigeon $3s, ,75u
 The Hague, Nov 29.-Prof Asser, the Dutch itIrlst, who has been arbItratlhS The claims of American seaiers for the Seizure of their vessels by the Russlan government about ten years ago, hds delivered his award in favor of the United States. He appraises the dam ages in the case of the American schoo- ner -H. White at S32, ,444; in the case of the James Hamilton Lewis at S2S,- 5SS. the Kate and Anna at $1,4So, ana the Cape Horn Pigeon $3S, 70O.
 Prof Asser delivered his Judgment in t,se arbitration court in the presence of the representatives of the United StaFes and of Russia and others, 1n- cludlng the foreign minister of the Netherlands, Dr Van Iyndena.
 Tn giving his reasons for the award Prof Asser held that the schooner O.. H. White was seized outside Russian territorial waters. and the. Russian con- tention that a warship of one nation was entitled to pursue beyond the boundaries of it's territorial seas a ship of another nation guilty of illegal ac- lsln within those waters was untena- ble The arbitrator declared that the jurisdiction of the state could not eX- tend beyond it's territorial waters ex- cept by special treaty. The seizure and confscation of the c. H. White and the Imprisonment of her crew was therefore illegal and Russia was con- demned to pay the c. Fl. White $32, Al with interest at 6 per cent.
 The case of the James Hamilton Lewis is governed by the same decis- ion while in the case of the Cape Horn Pi9eon. Prof Asser. in fixing the dam ages at S38, ,750 and the interest at 6 per cent, held that the principle that damages should include the prospective profits of which the victim had been deprived applied equally to information al litigation.
 Tn the case of the Kate and Anna the arbitrator decided that the captain could have continued seal hunting and that therefore Russia was not respon- sible for the prospective profits.
 Both the James Hamilton Lewis and the Kate and Anna are given per cent interest on the amount awarded.
 After concluding the reading of iudg- ment Prof Asser thanked the authori- ties of the arbitration court for the facilities afforded him and the mem bers of the court for the assistance ren-

CURING INFECTED CATTLE.
Experiments Were Successful and the
 Animals Pronounced We'll

Quanah, Texas, Nov 29.-Experi- ments with South American cattle dip have been going on here for two weeks. About 100 head of badly in- fected steers and cows were dipped in the solution and after seven days, dur ing which there were four days rain, only about per cent of the ticks from which the animals suffered were found alive. After ten days the cattle were inspected and permission was given by the state authorities to move them into disinfected pasture. Should the ex- periments continue to be successful it will mean millions of dollars to the Texas Pan Handle. all the territory along and below the quarantine line. The dip has no bad effect on the cattle whatever.

WORK MAY BE STOPPED.
Considerable Growing Over the MuY- cahy School Surroundings.


 cahy School Surroundings.
 It has been suggested that work on the Mulcahy school building be sus- pended until such time as it can be de- termined whether or not 1t would be possible to shift the cellar wall and the ten cent park which project into where the street should be laid out without too much expense. If any thing in this line is to be done now is the time to look after it, but it is a question if it would be wise to make any chM1ges in existing. conditions which would retard the progress of the work on the structure which it appears will be needed badly next fall. Of course the more aggrieved par ties look at it the madder it makes them, but so far as can be learned none of them cares to see the building opera tions cease One would think the lesson the city got over the dispo- sitfon of Nlle Lounsbury tract on the other side of Baldwin street would be sufficient warning to all not to create another snarl that is bound to last longer and cost more than the row over way out of South View street to South Main street.

NO TREATY NEEDED?
Purchase Of Panama Title Considered Sufficient.

4E s f
 WASHINGTON, NOV. 29-Senator Cullom, chairman of the senate com mittee on foreign relations, inclines to the belief that it is unnecessary for the United States to make treaty with Colombia in order to acquire the right to build canal acrosg the isthmus of Panama. MT. Cullom will not make a positive statement to this effect, but it is known that he may take this posi- ton positively and publicly In the near future.
 Senator Cullom called on the presi- dent to talk about the isthmian canal question. He inquired if steps were not to be taken soon to appoint the permanent canal commission, and the president told him that the considera- ton of this subject at present would, in his opinion, be premature. He wishes to consider the Colombian situation little further before deciding upon a line of action looking to the appoint ment of the commission and the actual construction of the waterway.
 The theory held by Senator Cullom and others who believe that 1t .is un- uSC06SdIy u u6SOI1dlO q IlCaCy WAl1 the Colombian government is based on the belief that the United States will acquire all the necessary rights and privileges for building the canal When 1t hands over to the new Panama Ca- nal company of France the 4O,o00, 600 in payment for the title which Attor- ney General Knox recently declared valid.
 The attorney general will answer no question about the proposition that a treaty with Colombia is unnecessary, and the state department is likewise silent on the subject. The belief Is widespread, however, that the United States government cannot be baked in it's effort to construct tue isthmian ca nal over the Panama route by any obstacle which the government of Co., lomhia may seek to put in the way.
