day, and was most enthusiastic. The
meeting was assured that the Canal
could be completed in two years, It
sixteen millions sterling more were
provided, and resolved to keep M.
de Les~epS at the head of the Com

priority bonds being forbidden by
French Law. They also resolved to
forego all interest on their bonds
until the Canal is opened, and to
urge the tour hundred and fifty
provincial committees of bondhOl-
ders to subscribe largely. The re-
suit of the meeting shows the strong
hold that NJ. de L~es>eps's personality
still has over Frenchmen j; but as the
Lottery Loan has already failed,
there is little hope that the money
will be forthcoming. The works
have not been stopped on the isIhmus /;
but so strorg is the apprehension Of
trouble there, that both the French
and American Governments have
despatched armed vessels to Colon
to maintain public order.
The impression TINT Stanley is not
n prisoner in the hands of the Mahdi
has become stronger this week. A
letter was recei we'd at Stanley Falls ON
August 25th, written by the explorer
on August 17th-that is, less than
five months agO-in which he an
IL that he had visited Emin
Pnsha at Wadelai, and had returned
TO the Aruwhimi, a Journey of
eighIy-two days, to obtain supplies.
He intended to rrioin Emin at once,
if he could obta in cartridges and as
he could not arrive at Wadelai till
the end of November, it is improba-
bic that he was captured by The Mad
dis lieutenant in October. II is not
impossible, because, kno wing the
and having made arrange
ments to obtain food, he might make
the return journey IN less than the
eighty days but still, it is improba-
bile. Emin Pasha may, however, be
u prisoner, and with him Casati, the
Italian off GER. Even of this, how.
ever, the evidence is incomplete.
Once aware of the tate of Emin,
Stanley would retrace his steps to
the Aruwhimi, and will probably
next be heard of on the Congo. 1t

at Mr.. Lynde's residence by Rev. +. w.

week. Here's to a long life, full of the truly
best things for theml - Though some OF
our farmers even are burning coal in their
homes dry wood at present is in good de-
mand and at high prices. We hear that
parties have come from Barre to the house
of Messrs. Jacob and Orlando Flint and
paid S1.40 and S150 per cord for stove
wood, taking it there. - The wife of
one of our farmers says she is convinced
that in dairying there can not be obtained
from deep pans the amount of cream that
can be gotten by putting the milk into shall
low pans - Willie S. Davenport, u son
of Rice Davenport, who was for a long time
with the Farbankses in st. Johnsbury, and
is now in the scale works at Rome, Georgia,
has just obtained patent for scale. He
hopes for great things pecuniarly from his
invention. He writes that some of the
employees in the scale works at Rome who
went from this way are very homesick and
longing for old Vermont So Our citizens
are asked not to forget the grange free lee
ture by Colonel j II. Brigham of Ohio
at the town hall Friday afternoon next.
- James Walbridge is again in the
field as a teacher of vocal music. He has
just finished a term in Chelsea and has
begun one in the district near the Baptist
church. - Little Susie, second daughter
of DIR. j. G. Briggs, is very sick with diph-
iberia. The case is regarded as hopeful.

seven-eighths inches. 1t wouldn't take
many such eggs to make a dozen. -
The president of the Montpelier & White

be built this next season from some point
on the line between Barre and this place to

QUITE Il REYELATION.

Ill the Railroads ia the Country Ercept Three
Hare Been Fighting the Q Strikers.
CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 3l.-A local
paper says: One of the leading spirits of
the recent railroad engineers meeting in
this city said last night to a reporter:
"'This meeting we are holding is one of
investigation rather than action. We
have learned by reports made at
this meeting that all the great
roads of the country with the exception
of three which run out of Chicago have
been assisting the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railway financially and boy
cotting all the Q striking engineers
who were applying for work. The mag
nitude of the figure it may cut in the fu-
ture may not be appreciated until I ex-
plain. Last April when the Brotherhood
was boYcotting Q cars and others who
were attempting to help them out sew
eral managers said to US: Raise your
boycott against the roads other than the
striking . engineers on an equal footing
with others as far as giving them en-
Dloyment is concerned. We accordingly
raised the boycott We have just learned
of the support of the company and the
boycott of Q strikers which has appar-
entity been running now for several
weeks. We had reports from skilled,
sober and reliable striking Q engineers
who have Travelled all over the United
States looking for work. It was refused
because they were Q strikers and refusal
to employ them was part of an agree
ment which covered all roads of the
country, excepting, as stated, three of
the Chicago lines Our evidence that
other railways have helped the Q finan-
cially is complete. To say that the Broth
erhood men are wild over this discovery
is drawing it mildly. Unless this finan-
cial support and boycotting, by these
roads is discontinued soon this country
will see the greatest strike that has ever
taken place. The railway trausporta.
of the country will simply be paralyzed
as it will be fight between labor and
capital. The iremen, brakemen, switch
men and every class of organized railroad
labor Will be arrayed on our side

The Grievance Committee of the Strikers
Holds Consultation.
CHICAGO, Ill, Dee. 81 A protracted
conference was held to-day between the
officials OF the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy road and the grievance committee
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, with view TO q settlement of the
difference between the company and the
engineers, who have been on strike for
months.
After adjournment Of the conference
Mr. Writ Dexter, solicitor for the road
said the meeting was only an informal
one and that simply a general talk was
the result. He said, however, that the
committee would meet the officials again
tomorrow. 1t was almost certain the
trouble would be patched up then. 1t is
the general opinion that at the meeting
tomorrow the committee on behalf of
the brotherhood will declare the strike
off, and such of the strikers as can be
employed viii be given employment.
In speaking of the strike to-day a visit
ing engineer said: ''The brotherhood
has grown tired of supporting Q'strihers
who are unable to obtain work, and en-
tered so strong a protest against it that it
was decided by the brotherhood to cut off
all such allowances to-day, and this
would leave many of the men entirely
without support. Over 90 per cent. of
the strikers are still unemployed and in
fact are blacklisted by all roads in sym
patty with the 90 1t has already
cost the brotherhood 1920 200 to support
the strikers, and something must be done
and that at once.

HoUsToN, Ten. Dee. 3l.-The Inter
national association, or as it is more gen.
orally called the Traffic association, has
not gone to pieces as has been erroneous
" published in some newspapers. The
injunction recently perpetuated by the
supreme court of the state only effects
the association as to its business between
points in the state, aud TO this extent the
association VIII cease to exist, but fully
rs per cent. of the business is interstate
which cannot be affected by the
injunction. There is some specu-
lation as 70 whether or not now
since the state business has been
eliminated from the control of tine asso-
citation the headquarters viii be continued

the attorney general has been very active
in all his moves against railroads, and it
is also well known that the present freight
rates within the state are way below the
maximum allowed by law, and it is
thought that the next new tariff will
show an increased rate on state business g..
