at the bnnqueting hail on the sixth floor OF
tue auditorium building, ami sat down to
one of tho finest dinners chat was ever
spread in the West
The meeting was presided over by Major
John NJ. Southworth, the president of the
association. a finer looking assembly of
ladies and gentlemen never graced ban
quoting hall. Nermouters in Chicago are
awake to the many interesting historical
matters connected with their native State.
1t is remarkable what influence the Green
Mountain boys and girls have had in the
Northwest. Chicago is filed with enter
prislng men and women who have left their
native state to seek their fortunes, and it is
sad that the association known as the Sons
of Vermont is the most prosperous aud the
most largely attended OF any State associa-
ton iii the country.

Authentic Version Of the Assault on
Mrs. Langtry by Arlington Baird.
Disfigured for Life.

PARIS, July 1S.-The sudden appear
ance In the chamber Of deputies Thurs
day of q coalition strong enough to de-
feat the government on a matter ofsuch
vital importance and delicacy as tho re-
lations Of the republic with Germany
causes no less excitement in the depart
ments than in the capital. All morning
dispatches have been pouring in from
the constituencies to their representa-
tives, urging them on In one way or the
other. The electors of this city are
alert, and it is quite possible that during
tho day deputations of their number
may make their appearance at the cham
ber to consult with the deputies Of Paris.
The situation is grave one. and is 30
admitted to be by the leaders of all par
ties. The chief reliancefof the govern
ment at this hour seems to rest ON the
discordant character of the groups
which make up the majority which
voted for Interpolation. 1t Is argued
that ii the Freycinet- Ribot ministry can
gain but little time disinte-
grafton will do its deadly work
with an opposition made up OF
the Right, the Boulangists and the
Radicals-an opposition which dare not
at this time overthrow the government
unless II IL prepared to INTRODUCE and
support with its united strength policy
which would commend itself TO the
conservative patriotism Of the nation.
This the ministry leaders declare TO be
impossible, for no sooner had the minis.
try been overthrown than the momen.

Thursday demanded discussion of tn,

victions. None Of their leaders will
however, discuss future possibilities
further than to protest that there Il nj

RsstrIction HIachinerx Ont OF Order.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1S.-Stastitician
Jones has issued his report of the an
thracite coal output for june. The total
production was $3.50, ,242 tons rs COM
pared with 8,445, 500 tons in June last
year, an increase Of 334, $40 tons. This
Ia by far the greatest tonnage produced
In any June and indicates that there is
something the matter with the machin-
ery for restricting the output. The
enormous production is alarming the
trade and unless some better plan Of re-
striction IL adopted than has heretofore
been attempted break In prices is con-
sidered inevitable.
