quest dated February Il, sent to the secre-
tary of the treasury an opinion in regard to
the legal status of silver certificates in
which be holds as follows:
''Silver certificates are Just what they
purport to be on their face and 10y their
terns-that is, they attest the fact that the
United States has on deposit many silver
dollars which will be paid to the holder up
on the presentation and surrender of such
certificates. If they can he regarded -
money at all, it is only because the United
States agrees to receive them for customs
taxes and all public dues and only to that
extent and for those specific purposes.
In my opinion" the attorney
adds they are not lawful money within thu
meaning of section of the act of June 20
1874. and section 9 of the act Of July r.
1882 "
The opinion of the attorney-geucral. it IS

A BIG NAVAL BATTLE



Fleets Expected Before March.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-A cable message
received at the navy department from Rear
Admiral Benham confirms the United Press
report of the arrival of the government dy-
Mantle cruiser Nictheroy outside Rio har
bor Admiral Benham says in his despatch
that the rest Of the loyal fleet will arrive at
Rio from Bahia on February %.
Naval officials predict a big naval battle
at Rio before the end of the month, on the
basis of Admiral Bendam's despatch. For
some time past, in fact, ever since the loyal
fleet sailed from New York, a conflict ON
the water between the insurgents and the
government has been expected, and the be-
lief has been general that the appearance of
the government cruisers and torpedo hoat',
or any one of them, off Rio, would mark
the beginning of real hostlities, that would
probably bring about an end of the war
il is believed that PeiXoto has become tired
of the long continued struggle and that he
will be glad to force conflict between his
ships and those of Da CANA.
As the general elections in Brazil take
place next month"; it is likely that PeiXoto
would be glad to have decisive battle be-
fore the beginning of March. An engage
ment between the Nictheroy and the in
surgent fleet may take place at any time,
as Admiral Da CANA will be anxious to
cripple or sink the Nictheroy before it can
be reinforced by the remainder of the loyal

OFFICERS OF COMPANY M.
L. II. Wells Elected Captain. With G. NJ
Brownell First Lieutenant and {. L..
Woodbury. Second Lieutenant.

In obedience to special orders No. Al, ad-
iutant generals office, dated Feb. 12, 1894,
the members of Co, NJ, 1st regiment, Yer
mont National Guard, met at the armory of
the Burlington cadets at 3 O'Clock Monday
evening and elected Frank r. Wells cap
tain, Cornelius NJ Brownell first Lieutenant,
and Charles l.. Woodbury. second lieutenant.
There were ~ men present and the election
of these officers was unanimous. The mus
ter in of the company was completed by
each man uncovering his head, grasp
ing the United States flag with his
left hand and with his right hand raised
toward heaven, taking the solemn oath to
support the constitution and country. Capt
Herbert +. Tutherly, lst L. :. cavalry, was
present and spoke TO the young soldiers of
their duries: he complimented them upon
their proficiency in drill thus far, and
prophesied that they would, with strict at
tention to the duties of n soldier become
one of the best companies of the National
Guard of this State.
Certainly no body of young soldiers start
out with a more brilliant future than does
this new company, and the citizens of Bur-
liugton will have reason to be more proud
of them in the future than ever.
Adit Gen. Fecl presided at the election,
at the close of which he rendered an invita-
ton, sent by Gen. julius j. Estey, to each
member of the company TO be present at the
officers school, which will be held at the
Van Ness House in this city on the 21th and
2Sth insts.

that it would create feeling between the
classes that ought not to exist. said they
must bring Terrell back by & O'Clock to-
night and postpone the preparations for
their own class supper, which was to have
been held at White River junction to-mor-
row night, pending the result.
At a meeting of the class of SO this after
noon, they voted not to comply with the
above terms, but the class committee this
evening asked for an extension of time un-
til to morrow morning at : o'clock, on the
ground that the action taken was not fully
understood by the class. The request was
granted The freshmen, fearing the disap-
pearance of their POSTMASTER, appointed
four men for that position, so they still have
three available.
