LOT.

DR.. II, c. Day, evidently, does not in
tend that any other locality shall out do
us. Witness the following from his pen,
in the Troy Times: "The Times publish
cd Monday an item which enumerated
quite variety OF trees growing within
a radious of thirty rods of DR.. Schuyler S
summer cottage on the borders of Lake
Champlain, the inference being that
such variety is unusual. The names
of the trees mentioned were white oak,
red oak, swamp oak, hard maple, sOfC
maple, silver maple, striped maple,
white ash, black ash, small aspen, large
aspen, cottonwood, poplar, Balm of
Gilead, sheepberry, scarlet thorn, witch
hazel, white elm, rock elm, shellbark,
hickory, pignut hickory, beech, iron
wood or blue beech, bareback or hop
hornbeam, VIII to birch, black cherry,
white willow, Eastwood, speckled alder,
shadbush, white pine, red cedar and
white cedar. AS a matter of fact, as
great variety can probably be found
almost anywhere in Vermont on eleva-
level, especially if there be a stream in
an Ochery subsoil. Another condition

trees and shrubs is that the wooden
region be not remote from human habi-
tation.
perhaps Bennington can justly claim
the honor of having the largest variety
of trees and shrubs within given space
of any town in Vermont. Hathaway hill
in Bennington is great resort for the
summer rambler. 1t is rough, tangled
fnnn of
clear pasture land The quantities of
trailing arbutus, partridge berries, win
tergreen, flowers, Towering shrubs and
nearly all kinds of berries growing there
in their season are immense. More than
200 different species of wild plants and
flowers grow in prodical profusion on
these upland heights, attracting young
and old from early in the spring until
late in the autumn. The legends and
traditions connected with this beautiful
and slightly elevation have made the
place locally famous in story and in song.
Within a radius of thirty rods from a
certain point on Hathaway hill the close
observer will note the following variety
of trees and shrubs: The pine family is
represented by white pine, pitch pine,
hemlock, white spruce, fire and tama-
rack; the oak family by white oak,
swamp white oak, black oak, red oak,
chestnut and American hazel; the horn
beam family by American hop hornbeam;
the walnut family by butternut, pignut
hickory and bitternut hickory; the birch
family by black, yellow, red and white
birch and common alder; the wax-myrtle
family by Dutch myrtle; the plane tree
family by button-wOod; the willow
family by poplar, American aspen, Balm
of Gilead, low bush willow, bog willow
and white willow; the elm family by
white and slippery elm; the cinnamon
family by fever bush; the olive family
by white and black ash; the elder family
by common elder, naked viburnam and

INTRODUCTION OF NEW VARIE-
TIES OF GAME INTO VERMONT.

A committee of Vermont Fish and
Game Leage makes the following state
ment in regard to the introduction and
propagation of new varieties of game in
Vermont
At the third annual meeting of the
Leauge, held in Burlington November
18th, committee was appointed for the
purpose of introducing new game into
our State.
1t is proposed by the committee to
begin their work at first with a few
hardy varieties of feathered game, such as.
are adapted to our climate and State.
Through the kindness of the president
of the Name Game Association we can
import with them black game and caper-
cailzie from Norway and Sweden, and
sharp tailed grouse from the Northwest.
We also expect to be able to secure a
quantity of quail from Tennessee.
The black game, which are the largest
of the grouse family, thrive in countries
where the flora is similar to ours and the
winter climate much more severe than in
any portion of our State.
The sharp-talled grouse are very
hardy game bird, as they are found i'll
large numbers North of the Saskatche-
wan river, where the winters are extreme
ly severe. They are Indicators, and
would do as well as our native ruffled
grouse in any part of our State.
1t is believed the common Virginia
quail can, with very slight expense, be
helped through our winters, and is a very
desirable game bird for our lake and
valley towns.
The time has arrived when energetic
and vigorous measures should be taken
to protect our fast disappearing native
game, and to introduce and propagate
new varieties. To do this latter work
requires funds, which we propose to
raise by subscription and we now appeal
to you and to your sportsmen friends to.
assist us in making Vermont the banner

OPERA HOUSE ANNOUNCE,

James A. Hearne's domestic Irish
drama, "My Colleen" written for the
comedian, vocalist and dancer, Tony
Farrell, is one of the successful attrac-
tons of the present season. 1t is well
constructed and natural comedy in which
pathetic and comic phases of Irish nature
are beautifully blended. "My Colleen''
Will be put on with all the scenery of the
original production and most capable
company, headed by Mr.. Farrell and
remarkable prococious child actress
BABY Clare. The Chicago Times says of
its recent production in that city:
Another week will be devoted to 'sMy
Colleen" This Irish comedy has made
a far better impression on the general
theatre-going public than any Irish play
that has been produced in Chicago in
years 1t will be seen here at the Opera
House tomorrow evening.

LET EVERYBODY HEAR
Western Senators Want the
Doors Thrown Open.
The People Have a Right to Hear
the New Chinese Treaty
Discussed.

WASHINGTON, April Z. - The Senate
considered the Chinese treaty indirectly
for two hours in executive session this
evening on motion by Senator Mitchell
Of Oregon to debate the treaty in open
session, but without accomp plshing any,
thing. There was more or less incidental
reference to the merits of the treaty as
such, but the debate turned largely upon
the prOpriety of discussing the question
with open doors, so the world at large
might know hat had been done, and the
Senators favorable to the proposition con-
sumed the greater part of the time of the
session.
Mitchell, Perkins and Stewart were the
principal speakers. Tney based their
rgument upon the Importance of the SUBJ
ject to their constituents, and dweIt upon
the injustice of such enactment as that pro-
posrd without giving the people, who were
so largely interested. full information as
TO the reason for the proceedings. They
displayed more or less feeling over the
question.
Perkins said the country was at present
in great distress and stated that there
were $4,000 white men out of employment
in California. 1t would be great injus-
tice at any time. and especially at such
time as the present, to open the doors to
Chinese immigration, as this treaty would
do if ratified by the Senate. He said it
would nullify all the anti Chinese legisla-
tlOu of the past ten years If accepted in its
present shape. and he thought the country
should know these facts and hear the ar
guments in favor OF the treaty.
Mitchell, who is an advocate of open
sessions on all occasions, spoke very much
in the same strain, but elaborated on the
propriety of considering the treaty in open
session.
Stewart wanted the widest publicity in
discussing the subject and spoke in gen.
eral terms about the undesirability of
Chinese immigration.
Chandler asked him IL it would not be In
the interests of silver if relations could be
establis ed with China which would ex-
tend the commerce of the United States in
hat country. whereupon the Nevada Sen.
ator branched off into a somewhat general
discussion of silver. Morgan, Gray and
Palmer all suOke briefly on the other side
of the question, devotiDg themselves
m aiEly to the general merits of the treaty.

LIE CARON STILL LIVES.
Report of His Death Fake to Cover
His Nisannearance.

NEW YORK, April 8.-The cablegram
nnouncing he death of Major lie Caron.
the English informer who testified at the
Parnell commission as 10 the working OF
the Irish revolutionary brotherhood. was
received in Irish circles with some in
credulity. This mornings wires from
London conveyed the statement that the
celebrated spy. so far from being dead,
was on his way. under the protection OF
detectives, to one OF Engand's distant
colonies to avoid being arrested by
order of the Fenian organization. A let
ter to the effect that n body said TO be that
of LIE Caron was to-day buried in Norwood
Cemetery has been received. but the regis
trar- general of deaths ridiculed the idea
OF LIE Caron being dead.
Instead of convincing the Irish that lie
Caron had gone to his tomb he confirmed
them in the belief that the death and
burial of L. Caron is fake. designed to
attract attention from him while spiriting
him off TO some country. A number OF
Irishmen interviewed to-day are unani-
nous in their opinion that LIE Caron Is
still on earth.

DUNDY ON JENKINS.
One Jurist Has Warm Admiration
for the Other.

OMAHA, April II admire Judge Jen-
kins for his sterling ability as jurist. for
his consistency and for his excellent judg-
ment," said Judge Dundy of the United
States District Court to reporter Of the
Associated Press, to-day, when asked his
opinion of Judge Jenkins order. "The
strike clause of his Injunction order is but
slightly modified. A great deal depends
upon the Interpretation of the word
strike. If it means for the men to resort
to violent methods and destroy property
or interfere with the operation Of business.
then they should be restrained from strik-
ing, and thus avert the sequel that would
otherwise follow. If it means simply a
ueaceable, unorganized withdrawal from
service, or the right to quit on proper
notice. that is different. Judge Cald W elps
idea is to give them their own choice in
this matter, and If they raise trouble to
punish them accordingly. Judge Jenkins
idea is more of judicial warning than a
desire 10 muzzle the men. If they investi-
gate Judge Jenkins order they will find
that he has acted simply in accordance
with the dictates of his own conscience
aud his superior knowledge of law"

AMERICAN WOOL.
Consul Meeder Thinks There Will
Be Demand for 1t.

WASHINGTON. April 7.-United States
Consul Meeder at Bradford, England, re-
ports to the State Department. under date
of March 13 that during the preceding
months large quantities of American wool
have been offered for sale in Bradford.
This has been so unusual as to attract at
tention and cause no end of gossip. AS
general thing the prices of all grades of
American wool are now practically the
same as the similar grades in England
The carriage and other charges against the
American article make the mo st of the
difference. The wool merchants at Brad
ford assert that the moment the tariff bill
passes with free wool. the prices Of Amer
lean wool will revive. and some of them
are so strong in this that they have large
investments Ia wool now held in Phladel-
phia and Boston. They say the free i'm
petus given to manufacturers will cause
American to be mixed with the finer for
eign woods. and that a demand for Amer-
can wool for manufacturing purposes will
set in Immediately.

Senator Hoar called the attention of
Senator Morgan to dispatch in the
morning papers saying that the British
Parliament had passed an act intended to
carry out the provisions of the award OF
the Bering Sea tribunal, but according to
which ships which might have sailed with
out knowledge of the passage OF the bill
should not be liable to seizure. He
thought, il the dispatch correctly reported
the text of the Parliament bill, that it was
simply an evasion of the principles of the
awards of the Paris tribunal. He asked
Mr.. Morgan as to the truth of the dispatch,
and if it was true some supple
mental legislation should be passed
by Congress. Mr.. Morgan explained
that some weeks ago Sir Julian
Fauncefote, the British En- mbassador, had
submitted to the State Department the
draft of an act of Parliament which, to
the best of his recollection, corresponded
exactly with the language of that quoted
In the dispatch. There were some fea-
lures Of he proposed act which were op-
posed (he used the word advisedlyl to the
fair Interpretation Of the awards. and
those provisions of the proposed act were
firmly rejected by the Secretary of State.
and the British Government was so in-
formed. About the same time he learned
from the newspapers that a bill had been
introduced in Parliament for the purpose
of giving effect to the award of the Paris
tribunal. but whether it CORES pOnded with
that submitted by Sir Julian Pauncefote
to the State Department he did not know.
Shortly afterward he learned that the bill
had been Withdrawn for the purpose of
remo1eling il, and he still hoped that such
was the fact and that the text contained
in the dispatch was that of the unamended
bill, which hid been given out by mistake.

ecutive session and al 4 80 adjourned.

accurate description OF the British act
