 The idle rich do not infest Chicago. It has no attractions for them. New ork has many, put it is in Great Britain thLt they abound. They are so numerous that MT.

RELATED REPORTS
 OF ELECTION EXPENSES
Filed Yesterday in Connecticut Sec
 retary of States Office.

Hartford, Nov. 25.-About a dozen belated election expense reports were filed in the secretary of states office today. As all of the reports were mailed November 24, it is thought that the senders of them have failed to comply with the provisions of the law, November 23 being the legal limit for filing such returns. Such of the re- ports as bore evidence of having been mailed November 23 were received. Re garding the doubtful ones, it has been decided to obtain an opinion from the attorney general so that it may be definitely determined whether the de- Hnquents shall be prosecuted.
 In a verbal opinion, which Is to be supplemented by 8 written one, Attor- ney General Light has said that he does not think unsuccessful candidates are obliged to file returns of their election expenses under the corrupt practices act.

One Thino Not to Be Eorootten

It is possible to lay too much stress upon TOlstoi's mistakes. He was a dreamer: and sometimes his dreams were nightmares. Yet he accomplish ed much practical good and more than once he gave utterance to a sound word of common sense that could not fail to do much good. The one thing that should not be forgotten is that whatever his faults as an artist. what ever his defects as a philosopher, what ever his errors as phila nthropist, Tol- stoi was a man. Take him for all in all. we shall not look upon his like again.-Providenc Journal.

The Strike in England.

Newcastle Eng, July 2l.-The strike
on the Northeastern Railway today as
sumcd such serious proportions thai
President Brixton, Of the board oil
trade, has rushed here to superinteno
the efforts to bring about arbitration.
Last nights conference between a del
egation Of the strikers and the railway
officials at Gateshead failed to bring
about any compromise.
Already more than 10000 railroad
employees have struck along the !, zoe
miles Of the line, and the complete tie
up Of traffic has so seriously affected
other business interests that thousands
OF other men have been thrown out Of
work. A number of mines have been
compelled to suspend operations, owing
to their inability to ship away thell
coal and 900 more miners were today
added to the list already out OF employ
ment. Five thousand dock workers
are idle, and numerous tramp steamers
are tied up to the various docks, un'
able to secure fresh cargoes or to ship
away the cargoes they brought into
port. Numerous factories along the
line OF the Northeastern have shut
down and others are preparing to do sc
unless the strike ends soon and they
are able to receive and ship supplies.
The number Of trains being with
drawn from the service is increasing
hourly and a corresponding number oil
men in other trades are being forced
into idleness.
Newcastle, Eng, July 21.-The
strike on the Northeastern Railway is
spreading to the Scottish railroads, and
already sixty thousand railroad men
have quit work. Disorders are being
reported in number Of places, but up
to date the authorities have been able
to cope with the situation. 1t is con-
coded in business circles that the effects
of the strike will be widespread anc
that if it continues to grow rs it has in
the past three days general railroad
strike in England is entirely probable
The Board OF Trade, however, is still
making strenuous efforts to effect g
compromise and prevent more from
quitting.
