WhileGreat Britain as a rule escapes winter weather, she has suffered this year to an almost unprecedented degree According to reports tonight from northern points, the storm is growing worse. The heavy snowstorms which began several days ago still continue They are accompanied by violent gales and even thunder storms in some places, and have resulted in a serious railroad accident near Arborath, Scot land, in which about 60 persons were killed or suffered serious injury. Railroad traffic in the north of Eng land and especially Scotland is becom ing completely tied up. large towns like Edinburgh, Dundee and Perth are almost isolated. The telegraphic ser viecs are disorganized and would he completely useless but for the extension in recent years of the underground wires. The snowstorms continue with equal severity in Northern Wales and in Ireland. iu u NEWS OF THE WEEK !o a Cendensed Farm (or Our Busy Readers.

FEAR INSURRECTION New Elections In to b b Hay Not Settle Troubles. «*-• WHAT MAY MEAN ANNEXATION Further Intervention Would Bring On Inevitable— Annexation Wanted by Few People. Washington, Dec. 29.— Occasional rumbling or rumors of little sideshow insurrections popping up in certain provinces of Cuba are tending to keep the United States from forgetting the problem it has to deal with down there. There are some angles in this problem that have received little attention as far as the public is concerned, but Which have occupied and are now occupying much attention on the part of high gov ernment officials and administration advisers among the members of Con gress. ■ It is a fact not generally known that our government entertains grave fears regarding what may happen following the Cuban elections in January. A great many have believed that inter vention by the United States will have accomplished its purpose as soon as a new- government has been chosen by the Cuban people; that our forces would withdraw after inaugurating this new government with tranquility estab lished. Thabis the rosy view of the situation, and everything would be lovely if our high officials were sure it would work out just that way. But they are not sure. President Roosevelt, it is understood, has grave doubts about the effect of the coming election on the defeated party. If we be forced to do any more inter vening there will be an effort by a cer tain element to force annexation, which some of our ablest statesmen insist is something that comparatively few peo ple in this country want. The admin istration recognizes the embaraeeing situation that may confront it and, after President Roosevelt’s warning to Cu bans to “ be good’’ in the future or take the consequences, the question is just what course shall be pursued 'if the Cubans don’t stay good. TOO MUCH RED TAPE W R E C K O N IN T E R U R B A N . Tacom a-Sssttls Passenger and Work Trains M ast on Curva. Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 27. — Interur ban train No. 3, bound from Seattle to Tacoma, and a work train consisting of a motor and five flatcars, collided head- on in a cut about a mile east of Milton Wednesday morning. Two persons were killed, one probably fatally hurt, and 14 more or less badly hart. The first coach of the interurban passenger was telescoped, and two of the flatcars piled on top of it. There were about 20 passengers in the telescoped smoker, some of whom strangely escaped with only slight in juries. The car was entirely demol ished, and some of the passengers were hurled 20 feet in the flying wreckage. Train No. 3 from 8eattle was late and had orders to sidetrack at Edge- wood to let No. 6, the passenger for Seattle, pass. The work train was given orders at Milton to follow No. 6 to Edgewood. C. R. Foss, a brakeman on the work train, was sent to Edge- wood on No. 6 with orders to flag No. 3 and hold it on the sidetrack until the work train cleared. He either failed to place the flag or there was a misun derstanding of orders. Foes disap peared and cannot be found. No. 3 pulled out on the main track as soon as No. 6 pawedfcnd being late, started down the grade at a good speed Half a mile this side of Edgewood on a curve that rune through a deep cut, it "met the work train. The curve is so short that it was impossible for the crews of either train to see the other until too late to stop. The trains came together with a crash that was heard half a mile. The two forward cars of the work train went over the platform of the first car of the passenger, striking it at an angle on ac count of the curve. To this fact alone is due the escape from death of every passenger in the car. Present Free Alcohol Law Use less to Help Farmers.

Seven hun dred American and 6,224 Filipino teachers are employed. All„,of the school divisions, the report says, con ducted teachers’ institutes, varying from four to Bix weeks in the different provinces. The instruction given waa divided between the common branche» of the intermediate course and special topics of instruction, such as school gardening, domestic science, primary industrial work and methods of teach ing. There are 2,464 primary scl ool build ings in the islands owned by the mu nicipalities and, in addition, a number of buildings belonging to the provinces but not constructed originally for school purposes are used. Private instruction, the report says, plays a large part in the intellectual condition of the islands. Many of these schools are supported by the Catholic church, with a histpry reaching back several decades. Some of these institutions teach English, al though in practically all of them Span ish is the basis of instruction. The Filipino teachers, Dr. Barrows says, continue to gain in reliability, strengthf of character and moral purpose. Washington, Dec. 27.—For several years past there has been a very active movement in favor of the passage of a free alcohol law, which resulted last session in the enactment of a law re moving the internal revenue tax on al cohol to be used for commercial pur poses. The demand for legislation of this charvacter came principally from farming communities, and was based upon the theory that if the tax were removed farmers would be able to man ufacture from their surplus grain, veg etables and fruit sufficient alcohol to supply themselves with power, heat and light. Congress responded readily to the demand, and when the law known as the free alcohol law was approved, the general .impression was that the United States had entered upon a policy simi lar to that which is in vogue in leading European nations, and that the farmers of the country'would reap a great ad SEN T.
