WASHINGTON, Sept. Bond extension

Tefunding and extension of about SOS, Co.,
900 OF the outstanding ~ per cents at 2
per cent This leaves, in round mum bers,

today put out circular continuing the

But this probably will not last more
than thirty days. Treasury officials think
that from s5,0O0OOO to $4,000. 900 more
may be extended at 2 per cent. under this
continuance circular before the month is
out. In any event Secretary Foster an
ticipates no great pressure upon the treas

meet the demands during the month for
the redemption of these unextended and

Almy was taken from the prison in
Manchester on Monday to Plymouth
where his trial was held. He is
represented to be looking well, though
somewhat pale from confinement, and
lame from his broken and wounded
limb. He was most closely guarded.
His trial is before Judges Doe and Al
len of the Supreme court. He was
arraigned on Tuesday, and contrary
to expectation plead guilty to the
charge of murder. Solicitor Merrill
stated that Almy was arrested for the
murder of Christie Warden; that he
had been indicted by the grand jury;
he detailed the history of the case in
brief. Stated that Almy had been
employed by the Brown Lumber Co.,
came to the employ of Mr.. Warden
some time before the murder of Chris
tie. He referred to the respectability
of the Warden family, gave Christie's
age as 20 years; spoke Of her educa-
ton and graduation; her life as a
scholar and teacher. Almy showed
attention to Christie which she sought
to evade. He gave details of the his
tory and circumstances relating to
Almy after he came to the Warden
place TO work. Later, Christie as
Secretary of the Grange, was prepar-
ing q paper to be read before the
Grange, by Prof. Pattee. She spent a
few days at the Pattee residence which
excited Almy's jealousy. He sought
to have interviews with the girl, but
was frequently thwarted in his pur-
pose. He left Hanover for time
and disappeared, later he returned
and was in hiding at and about the
Warden barn. On the fatal night as
Christie, her sister Fannie and her
mother were returning from grange
meeting he waylaid her and committed
the foul act, for which he was on trial.
He related the circumstances relating
70 the murder, the condition of the
body ETC., and laid out his case in be-
half of the state, intending to verify
his statements by a large array of
witnesses.
Mrs Warden, the mother, was the
first witness examined. She gave ev-
idence chiefly in regard to the sudden
appearance of Almy as he met the
party in the ravine near the willows.
He said he had come 1000 miles to see
Christie. 81 am around, you go along,
/ want to see Christie'' She next
heard Christie scream as she was be-
ing dragged away by the murderer
Her account of the scene was very
brief. Physicians who examined the
body at the time of the murder, were
examined and testified in regard
TO the character of the bullet
wounds. Some of the testimony was
of character which cannot go into
print, and showed a brutality equal to
that of ''Jack the Ripper" The prose-
cution rested and the defence, as
shown by the counsel for the respond
ent, was to be made on the character
of the crime, whether it was premedi
tated or otherwise. If premeditated
the court would pronounce a sentence
Of the first degree: hanging; if not
premeditated the court would decide
that the offence was murder in the
second degree, carrying wit n it a SEN
tence of life imprisonment.

NOT UNDERSTOOD.

The ST. Johnsbury Caledonia1s and
Bratt1eboro PboeniG, papers which in
tend to be fair and just, have made
some attacks on the Republican State
Committee, which seem to have been
provoked by misinformation. They
have labored under the impression
that the committee made an attempt
to coerce them by forcing a reduction
in the price of their journals and
committee at a meeting in October,
did take vote to continue the trade
with the Boston and New York week
lies, which was made by Gov. Page in
1888, whereby these papers were fur
nished at a very low price to Vermont
subscribers. The committee did also
vote to ask the local papers to
make a concession in their price, so
that the reduction made by the metro
politan papers, and by the local pa
pers, together with the sum paid the
city weeklies by the committee, should
place the clubbing rates at a low fig
ure, thereby creating an increase in
the circulation of both state and city
papers. There was not word in the
vote Of the committee which was an
attempt to force the reduction Of the
price of the state papers, although
they proposed through individual
members of the committee to confer
with the press, and see if it would not
be adv antageous for all parties con-
cerned to make some reduction in
prices to accomplish the end sought
a further distribution of republican lit
erature-thrOugh the state and city pa
pers. The committee are now asking
the press to make what seems fair
and equal concession, with a promise
on the part of the city papers of
still larger reduction in price. HaV-
ing ascertained from the records of the
doings of the committees meeting and
from the chairman of the committee
the facts in the case, we can not see that
any wrong to the press has been at
tempted. The committee are working,
as the republican party asks them to
work, in the interests frepublicanism,
asking at the same time the coopera-
ton of the Republican state press.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

| ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE MONITOR
| Washington, D. c., NoU. 10, 1891.
The President took occasion in his
| speech Of welcome to the new Chilian
! Minister tot his country to cOndense
into a few words the invariable policy
of the United States towards the con-
tending parties in the recent civil war
in Chill that may be proftably studied,
not only by the ChiIians but by the
citizens of the other Central and South
American countries, where revolutions
are matters of common occurrence.
He said; "Our people are too just to
desire that the commercial or politi-
cal vantage of this government should
be sought by the promotion of disas-
trous dissentions in other countries.
We hear with sorrow every fresh tale
of war or internal strife, and are al
ways ready to give our friendly offices
to the promotion of peace. If these
do not avail it is our policy to pre-
serve an honorable and strict neutral
ity, as was done during the recent war
in Chilli. Tempting commercial and
political advantages may be offered
for our aid or influence by one or the
other of the contending parties, but
this we have not deemed to be con-
sistent with the obligations of inter
national honor and good will. The
outlook for an early and entirely sat
isfactory settlement with Chill is now
decidedly favorable.
Commander-in-C Chief Palmer, of the
G. A. r. who has been here since the
meeting of the National Council of
administration, which decided upon
the week beginning Sept. 20, 1892, for
national encampment inEthis city, will
remain here several days longer. He
takes the iveliest interest in the pre-
liminary work now being done by the
local committee in charge of the pre-
parations for the encampment, and he
has rendered valuable assistance to
the committee in the way of suggestions
as to how the veterans shall be enter
tanned.
Ex-Governor Foraker, of Ohio, who
came here to make an argument be-
fore assistant secretary Crounce, of
the Treasury Department, in favor of
the selection of certain site for the
public building at Pueblo, Colorado,
has been the recipient of much atten-
ton. He paid his respects to the
President, Secretary Blaine and Sec
L 49,, n
them.
The Speakership fight is as yet but
little more than game of expert wire
pulling in which about all Of the prom
inent democrats of the country are
engaged.
The Brazilian Minister here has re-
ceived cablegram saying that tran
guilty had been restored in the coun-
try and the republic is all right.

While it was generally Understood

While it was generally understood
that Almy was really the Geo. FL. ABB
bott, no proof to that effect was used
as it was felt non essential. A paper
in speaking of Almy's presence in the
court room says:
''Almy came in and held busy
conference with his counsel. Every
/ faculty seemed alert, and, though the
battle of life was to be fought with
quite different tactics from those
! employed by him on Thetford monu-
tain or in Warden's barn, yet he seem
ed quite as we'll prepared for the con-
test. The prize was the same-the
life that he seems to hold to 50 tena-
ciously, but which has proved the
death of his father, his uncle, and IL
nally the only woman he confesses
ever to have loved"
Almy's defence was of that charac-
ter which tended to show that the
murder was not premeditated. Dur
ing the opening remarks of his coun-
sci, Mr.. Story, he frequently shed tears
and was greatly moved. Almy was
sworn and testified as to his coming 70
ofe Warden place; his acquaintance
with the family. He claimed to have
fallen in love with Christie and to
have received some intimation from
her that his affection was returned.
He related how they had done chores
and work in the house together. He
made her presents at different times;
she gave him few things in return
He related what he did on the
night of the murder; how he
watched for her about the grange hall;
how he secluded himself in the will
lows, and waited for the coming of
Christie. He told the story of his
dragging her through the bars, and
claimed that the first shot which
wounded her was accidental; the sec
ond shot he made to end her life and
put her out of misery. He claimed to
have lost his reason and his memory
during the frenzy which followed the
seizure of the girl. He related how
he took his way to the Warden
barn and watched the proceedings
when the dead girl was brought to her
home.
The judges gave his case a fair and
patient hearing, and the next morning
after the trial was ended rendered
verdict of Murder in the first Degree"
and sentenced the murderer to be
hanged on the first Tuesday of Decem-
ber, 1892.
Thus endeth for the present, the his
tory of murder which is among the
most atrocious in the annals of New
England crime.

desire to have them brown and dry,

be used in fine cakes instead Of but
