THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER-I. __
lnfltlitlllltlli iii-all things: Neutral in nothing.
The Gazette has the largest cir-
culation of any paper in Norwalk.
and furnishes the lowest advertisinz
rates-
Looks Like Monopoly.
The claim of the Norwalk'Horse Rail-
way company is stated by to-day’s
Hour to be that, the General Assembly
having granted them a charter and the
company having built and operated the
line, the charter hasbebome a contract
to such an extent that the General As-
sembly has no power to give to another
company the same right, or any part of
the same right, and so destroy or di-
‘minish the value of the earlier fran-
chise.
Such a claim appears reasonable up-
on its face, yet it has a suspicious sign
of monopoly hanging about its skirts.
In other words, the ‘ N orwalk Horse
Railroad company having taken posses-
sion of Wall street for a number of
years without paying a dollar for the
franchise, now comes in and says that
another railroad shall not be 'construc- ’
ted on the same street because it would
diminish the value of the earlier fran-
chise,which did not cost the company a
cent. A parallel caseto this claim of
the Horse Railroad 00. would be that
the owner of two adjoining stores could
not lease them to separate parties for
the same business because the proprie-
tor of one store, who had been a tenant
for a number of years, thought the ,new
tenant would diminish the value_of his
sales. '

Unsuccessful Train Rbbbers.
ST. LOUIS, May 27.—Two men made an
unsuccessful attempt to rob an express
car on the Mobile and Ohio railway train,
fifteen miles south of here. The men
climbed on the engine near Forest Lawn,
1115., and with cocked revolvers ordered
the engineer not to stop at that station.
One of the robbers then went to the ex-
press car and called to the messenger to
open the door. The messenger refused,
and in the meantime the conductor
stopped the train by applying the air
brakes. The robbers then jumped from
the train and escaped.

An" Agreement Between the English and
’3 Russian Governments. '
OTTAWA, Ont., May 27.—The governor
general has received advices respecting
" sealing from the imperial authorities, and
the following dispatch based thereon was
transmitted by the deputy minister of ma-
rine to Collector Milne, at Victoria, B. C.:
“I have to advise that the English and -
Russian governments have agreed to pro-’
hibit sealing vessels from fishing within
ten miles of the Russian coast, and within
thirty miles of Robin Island and Com-
mander Island during the present year.
Warn Sealers to observe this prohibition,
communicating with those who have
already sailed whenever possible. Give
copy of this to oflicers commanding her
majesty’s ships at Esquimault.”
Collector Milne has taken the necessary
steps to give the matter publicity. A copy
of the communication was also sent to the
senior naval officer on the north China
station. Collector Milne states that Cap-
tain Cox, president of the Sealers’ associa-
tion, who has just returned from Japan,
thinks the agreement will be generally
respected, as most of the sealers under
stood it was coming. He suggests, how.
ever, that her majesty’s government send
a war ship into Russian Waters to see that
the Canadian sealers are not molested or
harrassed, provided they keep outside of
the neutral zone agreed upon.

Fire Causes 3. Panic in Chicago.
CHICAGO, May 27.—Fire, which broke
. out in the. building at 1221 Wabash avenue.
caused almost a. panic among the occu-

The flames originated in a room occupied
by Thomas McDonald and George Wilson,
where a. kerosene lamp exploded. They
spread so rapidly that George Jones and
C. Brown were unable to escape, and were
taken from their rooms by the firemen.
McDonald and Wilson escaped by letting
themselves out of their window by means
of a rope made of knotted sheeting.
