POSSIBLE HOSTILITiES.
Grave Rumors Concerning the Fisheries
Dispute With Great Britain.

Grave Rumors Concerning the Fisheries
Dispute With Great Britain.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Considerable
lneasiness exists in a subdued way since
it is whispered about confidentially that
trouble is imminent at the Department.
of State over the fisheries question
which, unless accommodated, is likely
to precipitate. hostilities with Great
Britain.
1t is said that the representatives of
the two Governments are inharmonious
over the fisheries issue and matters bear
the appearance of rupture between
the high contracting parties. 1t is not
divulged, however, upon what particu-
lar propositions the disagreements exist.
but it is believed that within three or
four days mstters will culminate one
way or the other with the chances favor
ing rupture.
1t will be remembered that some
weeks since Foraker, of Ohio, made the
statement that he had been called upon
last fall by the War Department author
tiles to advise them as to how many men
he could throw into Canada upon sud-
den crisis but the War Office people ex-
planned that this was only question
relating to the general operations of
the militia and had no reference what
ever to any threatened or impending
trouble with Great Britain.
1t is now believed that Governor For
aker's statement was extremely signifi-
can't, although he may not have realized
it, and that the explanation made by,
the War Department was only ruse to
cover the real purpose of the inquiry.
This opinion is strengthened by the fact
that the War Department authorities
were furious and denounced Foraker for
''giving the thing away"

As many of them are well enough civ

THE DEMOCRATS of Vermont are now ana
for many years have been in sad minority
but during all their long subsection they
have kept the fires of their faith burning
brightly, and they are as true to their prin-
cip!es to-day IS they ever were. At their
State convention last Thursday they de-
clered for free raw material. and condemned
a tariff that takes bread from the mouths
of the poor and gives 1t to those already
enriched by government favoritism' ana
said that in the violent, unwsrranted rushing
of the Mckinley bill through the House OF
Representatives they saw evidence OF the
hasty ful6llmeut of the bargains OF TWO
years ago, whereby certain contributors 10
republican campaign funds were to receive
governmental aid in their business at the ex-
peuss of the American consumers" The
fruit of such good eeed ss this cannot, IN
the nature Of things, be delayed mucn
