for the protection OF American inter-
ests in that republic, has been started
by prominent exporters who addressed
a communication to the secretary of
state requesting that immediate steps
be taken to step the triangular revo-
luton now in progress there. The Ma

STORM DOES GREAT DAMAGE.
Many Sections of State Still Isolated
From Effects of Recent Storm.

Columbus, O.-Many sections of the
state were still isolated as a result of
the storm which swept Ohio, but tele-
phone and telegraph officials express
ed the hope that communication will
be restored. The storm wrought its
vengeance on wires mainly throughout
the western and northernwestern part
CT the state, although other sections
were affected. An official Of a tele-
phone company estimated that the
company alone had about 1900 poles
down and about SOC miles of wire on
the ground. A line drawn from Piqua
to Bellefontaine, to Marion thence to
Bucyrus, NQrwalll and Lorain sur
rounds the section in which the great
est damage was done. Findlay is com
pletely isolated from the rest of the
world and it is only by rerouting mes
sGSos that communication has been
established in other cities.
