 New Milford, Conn.,, Oct 7.-Through the breaking away of about 10 feet of the canal bank at Bulls Bridge, used to convey water to the plant of the New Milford Power company, the pow CT house was compelled to shut down this morning and will probably not re- sume operations for several days Al the plant are five large dynamos gen. erating about 12O0O horse power, Whlo1 is used to supply New Britain, souuh- ington, Cheshire, Naugatuck ana wa terbury with power to run the trolleys of the Connecticut Railway and Light ing company, and lights. The shuttlhg down of the plant left these towns ana cities without power and lights. m the case of the trolley cars emergency power houses. were called into use but tonight the towns and cities are prac- tically in darkness. The bank was sald to have been constructed of earth and is located on the west side of the Hou- satonic river, about sevNnty-five feet above the level of the stream at the point where the break occurred. It Is belieed that the giving way of the canal side was due to the effect ot a leakage, which had been going on for some time
 The canal Is about a mile long, and although the gates at the north end, where the water enters from the river were shut down and as soon as possi- ble after the accident, the mile of wa ter could not be checked and rushed madly through the break and over meadowland for a quarter of a mile until it reached the river. No damage was done by the rush of waters to the power house or other buildings in it's path.
 A force of Italians was rushed here from Waterbury and will set to work at once to retpair the damage,

DENATURED ALCOHOL RULES
REGULATIONS CONTROLLING MANUFACTURE ANNOUNCED.

Render Effective the Law Enacted by
 Congress at Its Last SessiOn--Legis-
 Iation in Harmony With Enactrnents
 Adopted by Nearly All Foreign Coun-
 tries--Product Will Now he Conn
 petitor With Illuminating Oils, Cas-
 OIene and CoRI.
 Washington, oct. 7.-- Commissioners of Internal Revenue Yerkes to-day is sued the departmental regulations con- trolling the making and the uses of de- natured alocohol.
 These regulations render effective law enacted by the congress at its list session, and which provides for the withdrawal from bond, tax free, of do- nestle alcohol when it is rendered un- fit for beverage or liquid medicinal uses bu the admixture of suitable denatur- ing materials, and for the use of the denatured article in the arts and indus tries, and for fuel, light and power.
 The law becomes effective January |, 1907.
 This Legislation is in harmony with enactments adopted by nearly all for eign countries
 Tn discussing the new regulations to- day MT. Yerkes said
 This denatured alcohol will be a competitor with Illuminating oils, gaso- line and coal.
 Ut will also furnish to manufacturers who use alcohol in the products of their factories, alcohol free of the heavy internal revenue tax now levied. This tax amounts to about $2 per wine gallon on alcohol at 1SO degrees proof.
 "It is believed great benefits will be derived by the people from this legis- lation.
 Tn preparing the regulations 1t was essential to adopt rules that would pro- hihit, as far as possible, perpetration of any and all frauds against the revenue of the government by the reclamation and republication of denatured alcohol through redistillation or other processes through the removal of the denatured ingredients and restoration of the also- hol to its original condition.
 Under the regulations now issued, alcohol of 1SO degrees proof is freed from the tax of $19S per wine gallor after being denatured by the use oi either some general denaturng mater. ialial or some specific material adapted especially to the uses of certain manu featuring interests. There will, there. fore, be two classes of denatured alec. hol. First. that styled completely de natured, which will pass into genera use for general consumption, can b,

MAY RESIGN AS PROTEST
New FOundiand Ministry Dissatisfied
 With Fishing Agreement.

St. Johns, N. F., Oct 7.-It was re- ported to-day that the ministry follow ing the recent example of the national cabinet, intended to resign as a protest against the temporary arrangement of Great Britain and the United States by the provisions of which American her ring fishermen secure privileges con- trary to the laws of Newfoundland. Though the report lacks definite con- flrmation, both the ministers and as- semblymen are known to be bitterly discussing the most effective method of expressing the sentiment of hostility toward the agreement. It is declared here that the imperial government championed the colony's cause through out the correspondence leading up to the modus vivendi, but abandoned It's position when it came to giving prac- ticaI effect to the colony's contentious

SAME STORY IN NEW BRITAIN.
Gas, oil Lights and Candles Resorted
 TO-Few Cars Running.

New Britain, Oct. This city is tonight practically without lights ex- cept what may be had from candle, oil
 or gas, owing to the breaking of the canal at Bulls Bridge, and the conse-
 qrent shutting down of the power plant which supplied electric power and light to this city. For the running of the trolley cars of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company the old power house on Chestnut street was started up, but this could not supply power for lighting the city. The churches, other buildings and private residences which depend on electric lighting had to reort to gas lights, or in many cases to oil lamps, candles and lanterns. The police station is lighted with candles and l9nterns. It was stat ed at the office of the Connecticut Rail- way and Lighting company tonight that no relief could be promised for three or four days. There are no arc or incandescent lights on the streets and the city is practically in darkness.

DENIAL OF ROYAL BETROTHAL
Brother of Cznr and Niece of King Ed
 ward Not Engaged.

London, Oct 7.--An emphatic official denial of the reported bethrothal of Grand Duke Michael, brother of the emperor of Russia and Princess Patri- cia of Connaught, niece of King Ed ward, was issued here to-day.
 St. Petersburg, Oct. IA formal de- nial has been issued here of the re- ported bethrothal of Grand Duke Mich ael, brother of the emperor of Russia and Princess Patricia of Connaught, niece of King Edward, An unwitting error was committed by announcing through semi-official news agencies in Europe of what was accepted yester- day as a fact in court and diplomatic circles here. It now appears that the discussion of this alliance, which is bound up in far-reaohing political con- sequences, has not reached the stage of an actual bethrothal. The intimaton that such a marriage was contemplated erroneously developed in court circles into premature announcement of the bethrothal as an accomplished fact.
