Fraud Alleged in Sale.

Raymond.-Alleging fraud in the
sale OF the property and franchise of
the South Bend-Raymond Electric
Company to the Twin City Electric
Company, which sale was consum-
mated last week, Frank Nixon, Neal
Supp and Charles H. Mills have
brought suit in the Superior Court of
Pacific County against the South
Bend-Raymond Electric Company, to-
gether with the Twin City Electric
Company, for them to show cause why
the sale should not be cancelled.
In the complaint it is alleged that

YUAN SHI
KAI CUTS OFF QUEUE

Pekin.-FolloWing the example set
by other Republican leaders, Presi-
dent Yuan Shi Kai of the United Re-
public, has cut off his queue. De-
spite this action, he still feels kind
ly toward the deposed Manchus and
deprecates the public rejoicing over
his election and the establishment of
republic.
News of the practical establishment
of the republic is arousing no opposi-
ton among the Manchus here. They
seem to feel that the downfall of the
dynasty was not to be prevented, and
there is little doubt that the institu-
ton of the officers of the new regime
will be permitted without opposition.
Dubbing him a second Washington,
the national Chinese assembly in ses-
sion at Marking telegraphed Yuan
Shi Kai, its unanimously elected pres
ident, to hasten south to confer with
the leaders of the Republican party
with view to a speedy installation
of the new order throughout the en-
pire.

AFFRONT IS FELT
Grave Diplomatic Situation Precipi-
tated by Diplomat.

tated by Diplomat.
Washington.-A grave diplomatic
situation between the United States
and Colombia has been precipitated
by the publication of a letter which
Senior Pedro Mel Ospina, the Colon
bian minister has written to Acting
Secretary Huntington Wilson, of the
state department, suggesting that it
might be "inopportune" for Secretary
Knox to visit Colombia on his tour
of Central America.
The Colombian minister seriously
criticises the United States for not
submitting to arbitration the differ
ences with Colombia growing out Of
this governments acquisition of the
Panama Canal zone.
Inasmuch as the letter admittedly
is the personal expression of the min
lister, it was received at the state de-
partment as a personal insult to this
government.

TROLLEY SURVEY FOR
 HIGH TENSION LINE.
Power Stations at ThamesviIIe and New London to be Connected.

Under the direction of engineers from New Haven. it is stated that a survey is being made between this city and New London for a high ten sion line connecting the Connecticut company's power station at Thames vile with the power station in New London. The work of laying out the course for the new line was started this week.
 The high tension line will connect the two cities just as the local station is now connected with the power sup ply of the Putnam lines. It will be one of the last steps in completing the unification of the system of power supply of the e~trolley lines, a system that will allow power to be sent from one part of the trolley road to another part where there is need of help, as In the case of a breakdown or damage by storm, as was the case in Norwich a month ago. The current is sent over the high tension line at a very high voltage, with no loss of very little power and is changed from alternat- ing to direct current at the receiving end and stepped down to the voltage of $50 used by the trolley cars.
