British Second Thought.
There are plenty of indications that
Englishmen as well as Americans are
taking the sober second thought. One
or the most of these is the marked
change in the tone of the best organs
of British public opinion. When the
plan of a purely American commission
to examine into the merits of the Vene-
zuelian boundary dispute a’nd report the
facts to the United States Government
waslirst broached, it was vehemently
denounced by all sections of the Lon-
don press. Now, however, some of the
most prominent newspapers in the
British Capital are frankly admitting
that if unprejudiced. men of integrity
and ability are appointed by the Presi-
dent, this scheme may produce valuable
results.
Thus the London Daily News, the
foremost Liberal journal, says that
whilc“theComm1ssion will not,of course
invite communications from GreallBrit-
ain, should Ambassador Bayard re«
quire further information tending to
elucidate our case, we feel sure that it
will not be withheld. This country has
never for a moment thought-bf plead-
ing before the commission, but it can
not conduce either to_our dignity or
interests to leave the commission in
the (lll‘li respecting the facts on which
we base our demands.” The News also
predicts that any information which
this Country may ask for will not only
be ali'orded, but that it will .be given
"freely and courteously.” The London
Standard asserts that althoughGreat
Britain cannot admit the competence
of the commission to pronounce a bind—
ing judgement, yet it may be “pre-
sumed that the President will appoint
as members if that body, men whose
t
opinions ar« entitled to the respect of
Englishmen.” Even more explicit and
reassuring is this assertion by the Lon-
don Chronicle: "If the commission is
composed of men like Messrs. Phelps,
1 White and Edmunds, it must command
respect, apart from its irregular origin.
t would in that case occur to Lord
Salisbury that some further proposal
from him would be expedient; indeed,
necessary. This is not an instance
where the diplomatic door Can 'be
closed with a. bang.”
All these expressions are heartily wel-
comed by intelligent American people.
They show that enlightened sentiment
in England, like enlightened sentiment
in this country, realizes the criminally
of war between the t’wo nations, and is
anxious to find a settlement which shall
be compatible with the interest and.
honor of both. Of course, Americans
do not expect the decision of the com-
mission to be accepted as final by Eng—
land. That body is simply a. domestic
committee of investigation whose. sole
function is to ascertain and report the
facts on which the United Slates can
base its subsequent curse. The evi-
dent disposition on the part of reasona-
ble Englishmen to give its reports. fair
of consideration
should induce Mr. Cleveland to select
degree respectful
commissioners whose capacity and im-
partiality are unquestionable.

A Disputed Question.
Scientists and electricians cannot
agree upon the number of electric volts
which are necessary to cause a cessa-
tion of life in the human body; some
claim that an excessive shock is more
likely to cause incineration rather than
instantaneous death, but if they would
turn their attention to prolonging and
increasing the pleasure of life, the pub-
lic would hail the result With more sut-
isfaction. For instance, the electricity
generated in a wave of laughter is after
all the most pleasant shock, and to see
a large assemblage moved by a current
of uncontrollable mirth while witness—
ing the play ot‘ "A, Midnight Frolic,”
places beyond dispute the fact that
large volts of laughter are better than ~
volts of electricity any day.

‘ , Colonel ~William C. Mowry, state see-
retary, has awarded the contract for
supplying state. record, ink to a New

Rear End Collision.‘
There was a collision between two
cars on the Street Railway line, near
the corner of Main and Wall streets at
11 o’clock last night. which fortunately
did not result disastrously.
Car No. 17, Motorman White and
Conductor Brundage, was coming up
from South Norwalk euroute to‘Win-
nipauk, followed by car No. 23 in
charge of Motorman Blake and Cou~
ductor Adams.
At the corner of the above named
streets No. 2‘3 crashed into No. 17 with
considerable force. The passengers in
both cogs were naturally much alarms l
but all escaped injury.
Superintendent Kyle happened to be
on car No. 17, and promptly laid
Motorman Blake off, and jumping on
the platform ran the car through to
Winnipauk.
‘ This is the first accident of the kind
to occur on the road,' and Mr. Kyle
will take every precaution against a
recurrence of the same.
Used Dynamite.
For the second time within a week,
burglars armed with dynamite have
operated in the little town of Glenville.
Monday night the post office was enter-
ed and the safe was blown to pieces
with dynamite.
Enough of the explosive was used
to blow away the entire front of the
building in which the office was located
Not. only was the front torn away, but
half of the building was wrecked.
Large holes were bored in the safe and
quantities of dynamite placed therein.
The dOor was torn off and one side of
the sale was reduced to fragments.
Stamps and cash amounting in all to
350 were taken. The whole town was
shaken by the explosion and the resi-
dents began to flock to the scene. Th- y
were too late, however, to capture tl e
perpetrators of the deed, who ready
made good their escape.

The fire alarm telegraph has failed to
work properly twice. May 18th, Box
15 was pulled for a fire in the Lock-
wood building, but owing ton broken
wire, failed to work, so the alarm was
sent from Box 64, on the Green. Box
56 failed to work properly at the time
of the fire at S. T. Ruby’s shop on Oct.
31st, and the alarm had to be sent in
from Box 15.
'Ihe department to-day is in splendid
condition. The companies have nearly
all the full limit of membership, and
with the exception of two new mem-
bers added‘to the role of Pioneer Hook
and Ladder company, are fully uni-
formed.
The commanding officer of each com-
pany is as - follows: Phoenix Engine
company, Captain A. A. Chinery, Jr.;
Hope Hose company, Captain James D.
Costello ; Pioneer Book and Ladder
company, Captain J. B. Morris ;- Fire
Police, Captain A. J. Meeker.
The inventorypf the city property in
charge of the fire department is the
same as last year, of which you' should
have a complete record, with the excep-
tion of one new American steam fire en-
gine, which takes the place of the Cole
'Brothers’ steam fire engine, which had
been used by the department for twenty
four years. Our new American steam
fire engine is a beauty in apperance and
,aking in efficiency when on duty. 1
feel satisfied that at the fire at S. T.
Ruby ’s shop on the merningbf October
31th, sh’e' saved more' than property
enough to pay for her actual cost. It
affords me great pleasure to say that
immediately after this fire, the water
commissioners gave me attention, and
have placed, at my request, a first-class
steamer hydrant at the corner of School
and Main street, connected to the main
by a very large pipe, thereby giving us
a large volume of water for steamer
use. . .
We have also added a very valuable
adjunct tothe equipment of.PhceniX
Engine company, which consist of a
new drop harness forthe engine, also
one set of the celebrated Eastman del-
uge nozzles, in the use of which the
members-are becoming veryprofioient.
' The annual inspection passed off very :
smeothly,,the actual work being very
satisfactory. J. consider the depart;
.'v '
under perfect control of the officer in
charge. I think the people are to be
congratulated’upbu having. such an ef-
ficient body of men associated as a vol-
unteer fire department. " j ‘ '
. I have no suggestions to ‘ offer.-
Thanking yOu for your courtesy and
attention to my every wish; during the
past year, 1 am Respectfully yours,
