VERMONT MATTERS.
States Prison Report.

From the report of the directors OF the
states prison we gather the following
facts: The report covers the period OF
two years, beginning July L, 1892, end
ing June 80, 1894 Number of convicts
in prison, July /, 1892. 50; received dur
ing the two years, 10. Discharged by
expiration of sentence, 81 discharged by
the governor, conditionally, 3; sent to
insane asylum, 4 died L; number in
prison June 80, 1875; females, 2; foreign
born, 50; Vermont born, So; other
states, "a; Protestants, 90; Catholics,
SO. The net expense of the institution
during the two years, was 5,159.23.
Quite extensive repairs and improve
ments were made.
Bank Treasurer Gone Wrong.
The town of Wilmington has been con-
siderably stirred up by the announce
ment that E. A. Willard, Jr., who resign
ed early last month from his position as
treasurer of the only bank in town, was
short in his accounts.
The auditors have been at work since
July 1 on the books kept by Willard, but
so badly were the books kept, or so skill
fully did Willard cover up his defalcations
that the work of ascertaining the true
amount of the shortage was a tiresome
task. Some of Wizards friends refuse to
believe that the shortage was caused by
any dishonesty but think careless book
keeping was the cause. Whatever the
cause, whether through carelessness or
theft, the treasurer is short $3O31. % in
his accounts.
The period of defalcation dates back to
January, 1890, from which date small
sums were taken from the funds at times
to suit his purpose. False entries were
made in the books to make all appear
correct to the examiners. The New Eng
land Loan and Trust Company, Peoples
Bank of Brattleboro and the Belcher
Company were the most important
among the losers.
1t has been claimed that the poor sys-
tenn of book keeping handed down was
the cause of the leak, but this is most
emphatically denied by the auditors, as
the system has been pronounced the best
and simplest in use in the state. When
the amount of the deficiency is returned
by Mr.. Willard or his bondsmen the
bank will be in better condition than
ever before.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-When the
House met to day only handful Of
members, comparatively, on either side
OF the hall, appeared in their seats and
the Republicans continued their tactics
of obstruction of the passage Of the cleo j..
ton case of English vs.. Hilborn. When
the reading OF the journal had been con-
cluded the Speaker said "If there be
no objection the journal, as read, will
stand approved "
Lacey, OF Iowa, objected. When a
quorum was obtained the resolution
before the House was read. 1t was to
the effect that Warren English had not
been elected a representative from the
Third district of California. The yeas and
nays were called, resulting: Yeas, l2;
nays. 167, Democrats and Populists
only voting.
The noes have it; the substitute is
not agreed to-" said the Speaker.
The majority resolution was adopted
and English was sworn in. On the last
vote McNilly (Dem., Ind.) joined those
who voted in the negative on the former
resolution.
The journal Of yesterday was then
read, the Repu blicans forcing a vote
upon it instead of permitting the usual
pro forma method. Payne, of New
York, demanded the regular order.
After the call Of committees for
reports, Bland called up the seigniorage
bill, vetoed by the President, to move
that IL be passed, "the objection OF tho
Executive to the contrary notwithstand-
ing" The bill was read, whereupou
Sickles raised the question OF consid era
tion. The Speaker announced that that
question could not now ba raised.
This ruling was objected to. In the
course OF the discussion Boutelle asked
for an explanation from the chair. The
Speaker responded that he had horeto-
fore announced that when the chair saw
lit not to incorporate in the terms of
any decision it had mado the suggestion
OF any gentleman upon the floor, no
me m bers had the right to demand the
reason for the decision.
Boutelle-Ah! That is one of the later
emanations from the chair which has
escaped me.
The Speaker 1t is rule made by
the chair for the purpose OF resenting
what 1T considers to be an pertinence.
(Cheers on the Democratic side.)
Bland being recognized, moved that
the bill be passed, the objections of the
icoiuoH1 W GHo con LrAry nOtWltQStanQ-
ing. He stated that upon this motion
he would demand the previous question
at o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
(Cries OF Vote" Vote"
In the confusion which prevailed.
while an agreement upon closing debate
was being discussed, no attempt was
made to speak on tho bill or message
until after the Speaker had put the
question OF the passage of the bill and
the roll call had begun He then
declared it to be too late to enter upon
debate, and, against the protests of
epublicans and Democrats opposed to
the passage Of the bill, and amid great
confusion and excitement, he ordered
the roll call to proceed to conclusion.
1t was completed at o'clock, and
Immediately upon the announcement
that the bill had failed TO pass, the
House adjourned until tomorrow at IL
o'clock.
The vote upon tho Bland motion was

but expressive declaration: II say this

O'Clock, when the resolution went over,

Allison continued the speech begun
yesterday against the bill resuming at
the point where he left of as to the diff
ference between the ad valorem system
OF duties. as provided for in the bill,
and the system of specified duties for
which he WAS contending. There were
very few senators in the chamber when
he began to speak-not more than ten
on each side and the galleries were not
half full.
Mills replied to Allison's argument
and commended that the specific system
OF duties so extolled by the Senator
from Iowa, was tax levied on articles
by quantities, disregarding value and
was IN un-American, un-D Democratic and
unjust system, while the advalorem
system was tax LEVIED on articles &C
cording to their value, and was fair
and just system.
de was asked by Mitchell rep Ore
why, ii that was the fact, there were
200 or 800 instances in the bill where
specific duties were imposed. He said
he would answer in the Yankee way by

many ad valorem rates in the Mckinley

lation was compromised, and that there
