mus is that the world is DESTROYS of having
the canal built as soon as possible. But
how long could we hold the sympathy and
good will of the world if we permitted
things to shape themselves as the Bogota
politicians wished them to? Many good
reasons have been advanced for the part
which Mr.. Hay has played in recent 18TH
milan developments. But to our mind
none is better than the one suggested by
Mr.. Loomis's description of the Colombian
programme; she thought that we have fore
stalled an attempted robbery Of the French
company and avoided most serious interna-
tional complications by closing Colombia
out of the canal situation.

No Truce in Grain Rate Firbt.

That there is to be no truce in the grain
rate fight that has been started in the
Eastern territory by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road was shown yesterday by the posting.
as required by law. of a new rate by the
Pennsylvania. to be effective to-day. of PA
cents q bushel from Buffalo TO PHILADELPHIA
and by the immediate response from the
New York railroads, led by the New York
Central. which will make the same rate to
New York effective also tomorrow. The
representatives of the New York roads de-
clare that they will meet every cut by the
Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania off
Gals declare that they will make and
continue to make their rate to Philadelphia
and Baltimore four mills on the busheI
less than the New York rate.
Although the New York Produce Ex-
change Is trying TO take some advantage
out of the situation. there is little to be
gained by the present state of affairs. The
fight is all over rates from Buffalo to the
ports. and the lakes being ice-bound. the
traffic at this time is significant. This
makes the purpose of the light something
Of a mystery. oh only plausible explana-
ton is that the Pennsylvania wishes to
establish the principle she is contending
for--that she shalt have the fOur-miII diff
ferential to Philadelphia and Baltimore
from BufalO-and wants to get a settle
ment during light traffic times so that there
shall not be a war on when r~ate-cutting
would cut into revenues.

Philadelphia Fear Loss of Trade.

The Commercial Exchange, the Maritime
Exchange, the Board of Trade and the
Trades League, the four leading CONNER
ciaI and maritime associations of PhiIa-
delphia. have addressed a joint memorial
TO the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad, the Lee
high Valley Railroad and the Baltimore &,
Ohio Railroad. in which they state that
they view with apprehension the recent
action of certain trunk lines terminating
in New York city, having for its object
the making of freight rates on grain to
New York the same as 10 Philadelphia,
thereby Ignoring the differential, which.
ever since the grain traffic of the respective
ports has been OF material volume. has
been accorded shipments 10 Philadelphia.
There has been no change in the Situation
10 warrant the abrogation of the diferen-
tial for which we contend" says the me-
mortal, but, on the contrary, present con-
ditiOns are such as TO make the retention
of IL equitable and reasonable and a vital
necessity for the maintenance of the com
merce of this port"

By Falling Headlong Into
a Glass Door.
Peculiar and Sad Death of VIM.
A. Barry Of WaterviIle.
Terrible Accident at Entrance To Rax
Terrible Accident at Entrance to Ray
View Hotel.

Waterville, Me-, Dec. H.-(SpeciaD.-
popular man of Waterviile, came to a
peculiar and tragic end, at about $50
O'Clock, Wednesday afternoon. He had
been waiting in the office of Edmund's
undertaking rooms for the car which
was to take him to his home. Seeing
the car approach from Water street, he
hurrledly left the office, went up the
stairway of the Bay View hotel, evil
IDENTIFY looking for some one in the Of
nee. Failing in his GRAND, he made a
hurried descent and had reached the
fourth step from the bottom of the
flight when his foot slipped, causing
him to fall headlong through one OF
the door panels.
William Fortier was passing by the
corner of the building at the time and
saw the man fall through the door. The
door was pushed upon by the force of
the contact and Mr.. Barry was exam
ined that the extent of his injury might
be learned. IT was found that his
throat had been cut by the glass and
that his lifes blood had practically
left his body. Death resulted in about
two minutes after the fall.
The remains We're taken to the under
taking rooms which he had little be-
fore left, and several doctors were sum-
moned. Drs. Bunker and Rancourt
Immediately arrived. but their services
could not bring the dead man to life.
and after taking the body into the back
rooms, Coroner Smell began the prepa-
ratiors necessary for the funeral eXer-
cises.
In dressing the wound. he found the
corotid artery to have been nearly sew
cred by cash which extended nearly
four inches in length. There were also
several other cuts under the chin.
The death of Mr.. Barry has cast
profound gloom over the faces of all
who knew him. He was fine looking
man of about 40 years of age, and at
tractive and genial in disposition. He
seemed especially so Oh the day of his
death.
He was Il prominent member of the
knights of Columbus of this city. and.
although a resident of Waterville at
the time of his death. he was well
known in railroad circles, having for
Il number of years served as night
train dispatcher in Portland.
A mother. Mrs. Elizabeth Barry, two
sisters, Mrs. |. Patrice Cunningham
and Miss Jennie Barry and brother
Richard, all of Waterville. His
mother is an infirm lady 81 years OF
age who has been i'll for many years,
and it is feared that the shock of her
sons death may have fatal results.
The funeral arrangements have not
yet been made.

FIRE AND WATER
Cause Great Inconven-
fence to New Workers.
Water Main Bursts.
Flooded People Are Chilly.
Fire Also Sends 1875 Hotel Guests In
to the Streets.

New York, Dec. 14.--Thousands of
persons in fashionable apartment ho-
telsand private residences in the vicin-
ity of Eighty-sixth street and Broad
way awoke. today, to find their homes
as cold as the wintry air outside as
result Of the breaking Of a big water
main during the night and the conse-
nuent flooding Of scores of cellars. In
the Easements Of some OF the buildings
the water had gathered to depth of
several feet and the heating apparatus
was entirely submerged. AS there SEEM
ed to be no immediate prospect of re-
lief, hurried plans for temporary
changes of residence were made.
The great food of water also found
its way into the upper Broadway sec
ton of the subway and at one time q
complete suspension OF underground
traffic in that section Of the city was
threatened. AS it was. the crowded
trains downtown during the rush hours
plOwed their way through water that
covered the tracks, resulting in many
annoying delays
Just before dawn ,,atrolman oh
served little stream of water forcing
its way UP through. the earth at the
corner of Eighty-sixth street and
broadway. The size of the stream rap
idly increased and soon the water was
rushing forth in a food. filling the gut
ters and pouring through cellars and
basement Openings. A report to police
headquarters brought no relief and for
two hours the rush of water constantly
increasing in force. continued.
DIV bot h.
seriously affected and upon urgent So
ilcitation of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Co.. the police put crew of
men at work to repair the break. In
the meantime, practically every cellar
in the neighborhood bad been flooded
and fires under the boilers which fur
nished heat and power in the hotels
and residences were smothered.
One Of the places which suffered most
was big new 12-story apartment no.
tNl at seth street and Broadway On the
arrival of the engineer TO start the en-
gines and dynamos he found the cellar
filed with four feet of water Barrels
and boxes We're floating about, while
hundreds Of dollars damage had been
done 10 the machinery. The kitchen,
also in the cellar vas likewise flooded.
The hotel is thus without elevator
service or electric lights and no heat
can be supplied until the cellar is clear
ed. The guests also We're notified that
they would be obliged to go elsewhere,
today, for their meals. Conditions
equally as bad existed in other places
in the vicinity.
The water in the subway became so
deep that the entire system was stalled
for about an hour. Finally the line was
opened as far south as 72nd street and
the work of clearing the tunnel of water
above that point was continued 1t was
expected this alter noon, that the uptown
section would be open before the evening
rush began.
