SAN FRANCISCO OFFER BEST.
The City Will Spend Sis,oooooo for a
Panama Canal Exposition.

Washington, Dec. l7.-San Francisco
and New Orleans yesterday made known
the conditions on which each city wanrs
an exposition to celebrate the opening
of the Panama canal From the stand
point of economy, San Francisco pre-.
scented the best proposition and one
which appeals to many members OF Con-
gress. The claims OF the two cities were
presented to the committee on rules.
San Francisco, through Governor Gillett,
announced that it was ready to spend
Sl5,000,000 on the exposition, and it
did not ask Congress 10 spend penny.
All it asks is that San Francisco be
designated as the place for the exposi-
tion and that foreign nations be asked
to participate. If the government is will
ing to exhibit, San Francisco win be
glad, but viii not even make that de-
mand New Orleans. on the other hand,
wants SlG00000 Of government money
to assist it in maintaining an exposl-
ton and will not guarantee any money
until Congress promises that the expOsi-
tion shall be held at New Orleans. The
committee postponed consideration of
the matter until to-day, at which time
the matter probably viii be laid on the
table until after the Christmas recess.
II is probable that the rules committee
will soon bring in a rule giving the
House an opportunity to decide where
the exposition shall be held.

a dose Of Papes Cold Compound every
two hours until three consecutive doses
are taken.
You will distinctly feel all the dis
agreeable symptoms leaving after the
very first dose.

headache, dullness, head and nose stuffed
up, feyerishness, sneezing, running of
the nose, sore throat, mucous catarrhal
discharges, soreness, stiffness, rheuma-
tism pains and other distress vanishes.

Newport, Dec. IA disastrous fire
visited the village of North Troy yester-
day morning, when the veneer mill Of
the Blair Veneer company was burned
to the ground The fire was caused by
hot box, and although the mill was
in operation at the time it was impos-
sible to check the flames, which were
famed by a high wind and the building
was soon in mass of fire,
The building was $50 feet long and
100 feet wide and three stories high.

Blair company, and was being operated
night and day.
The fire throws so men out of employ

and Greenville, Me
The estimated loss is $4,000, with
1000 insurance The fire started early
yesterday and the fire department was
hard pressed on account of the extreme
cold. 1t was with difficulty the buildings
surrounding the burned structure were
saved. At one time the fire threatened

Bellows Falls, Dec 1.-THE boys dor

in fire that started at o'clock yts-

the students were home on q vacation.
Three OF the professors of the school
lost all their belongings, and most Of
the students in residence were heavy

be removed, the whole building being

BAD FLOODS IN ENGLAND.
Vast Stretches of Country Are Under
Water.


London. Dec. lit is so years since
England has known such floods as are
now devastating immense stretches of
the country.
The deluge of rain practically has been
incessant since the first OF December,
only two days out of the 10 being with
out rain.
Large areas Of territory are so mum
dated that five barred gates are covered
with water, which in some parts Of the
country is II feet deep.
In many villages houses have been
flooded and the residents are living in
the upper stories of their dwellings.
The outlook in the Thames valley is
grave. The river has risen ten inches
in the Henley district within the last
80 hours and flooded enormous areas.
Many residences have been ruined.
Yesterday a severe gale swept the
coast, causing havoc at seaside towns
like Worthing, Having, Cowes and Dow
err, where sea walls were washed away
and thousands Of tons Of sand deposited
in the streets.
In the neighborhood of the sea front
houses have been flooded and yachts
tossed ashore
number Of minor wrecks are re-
ported. Off Sheerness, a British naval
tender occupied by 100 sailors, who were
going ashore on liberty time, was cap
sized and five of the men were drowned.
The other were rescued. Much damage

REFORM FOR THE LEdYsLATURE ITSELF.

m S the Legislature is a law unto itself, a reform of its way OF
IN doing business must come from within, and it will come
only under the stimulus of a strong compelling power of
public sentiment. For years the Legislature has dawdled away its
time for eight or nine weeks of a session and then, after many hun
dreds of bis had accumulated, rushed legislation day and night
with feyerish haste until the sessions close; amid scenes OF great
disorder. Former governors had hundreds of bills dumped upon
them at adjournment. Many of the bills passed were defective or
open to grave constitutional objections. This made litigation,
which gave business and fees to the lawyers, but was embarrassing
and expensive TO government. Governor Stokes, who is not a
lawyer, was occupied all summer of one year examining bills before
acting upon them. Governor Fort would sign no bill after the con-
situtional five days had expired With that knowledge the late
Legislature held a lsuess, donothing session for nine weeks,
and then began working for adjournment, with a record crop of
bills on its hands. 1t is evident from the long and persistent
continuance of this method of legislation that the plan of law
making is radically wrong, and should be reformed. But it is also
evident that there will be no reform until the people of the State
force 1efol1 upon the Legislature. The night session should be
abandoned. There is no necessity for it when the Legislature is
dawdling away the time during the first two-thirds of the session,
and it means bad legislation and Generalization for the last third
of the session.

Legislature must be added very strong
hints of improper conduct in the clos
ing hours Of the session? From relia-
BILE reports there would seem to have
been at least a. little more h the
usual horse-play which attends the
n of a hard session. but strenuous
denials from the legislators more or
less directly accused give the public
pause.
1t is no desire of mine nor of any
fair-minded person to accuse where
there is no crime, but surely there must
be some fire where there is so much
smoke. The Eyes of the people Chose
who directly elect representatives in
the Senate and Assembly, are gradu-
ally being opened. n more care is
apt to be used before sending men to
the council halls of the State than
heretofore. For the peace n safety
of the State, let us keep Il lesisla-

picion of any kind.
