But there was one more witness to be ex-
amined. Upon this witness testimony it
was expected to turn the tide and change

Mr. Jones called to the sheriff.

The Senate military committee has
favorably reported bill to accept a
tract of land in Vermont, between
Burlington and Highgate, offered for
the purpose of establishing there a
new military station. The region
thus indicated is just east of Lake
Champlain, and the project is practi-
cally the same as that which was be-
fore the previous Congress for estab-
fishing a garrison at Swanton juno
ton. Maj-Gen. Schofield and Mr..
Proctor have both called attention to
the need of forming garrisons on our
northern border that may serve as
rallying points for militia or volunteer
forces of all three arms in order to

waterways to move gunboats into the
lake. This is the more necessary

absurdly small force the naval pow
er maintainable on the lakes as to
make them practically defenceless in
that way. The last Congress took one
step in this direction by providing
