That the Vermont legislature in
corporated at the last session a GEM

the name of the Welcome o. Brown

called to the attention of the general
public by the Monitor. The name is
undoubtedly an honored one, but its
use in connection with a cemetery
makes a striking as well as a sug-
gestive continuation Burlington

Expect TO See Him V%indicated.
No one who knows Hon. Seneca
Haselton, United States minister to
Venezuela, will believe tor a moment
that he is guilty of being intoxicated
while at his post of duty as charged
by Admiral Meade; and least of all
will the story be accepted by his
own townspeople. If he had ever
shown any symptoms of a weakness
of this kind while an honored resi-
dent of Burlington the case would be
different. AS it is we confidently
expect to see Minister Haselton fully
vindicated.- Burlington Free Press.
George ]. Bond, town clerk of Sears

YELLOW BANK KILLED.
Stabbed to Death by the Indian
Black Hawk


WINONA, Mimi, April 1s.-The
facts in connection with the murder
of Winnebago Indian, Jim Yellow
Bank, have just come to light here.
The murder was committed last Sun
day night, across the river, not far
from the village of Marshland. yell
low Bank and a boy named Dan
Deer had been in Winona during the
day, and started for their home in an
intoxicated condition. They stopped
Tor supper at Marshland and while
there an enemy of Yellow Bank, one
Black Hawk, passed through the vii
lage and saw them. After supper
Deer and Yellow Bank proceeded. a
short distance further and camped
for the night. In the morning, when
Deer awoke, he found the dead BODY
OF his companion lying beside the
road. There was knife stab in one
OF Yellow Banks temples and in the
other a bad bruise. A short distance
away was a knife, which has been
identified as the property of Black
Hawks daughter. The discovery of
the fate of yellow Bank created
great excitement among the Indians.
and his murder was at once attributed
TO BLACK Hawk. There is no positive
evidence, however, that he committed
the crime, and he has not yet been ar
rested. Black Hawk bears the repu-
tatlon of being a thoroughly bad In
dian. Both Black Hawk and the muir
dered Yellow Bank were members of
the WinneSheik tribe.

OIL SPURTS AGAIN.
Petroleum Nearly Receivers From
Wednesdays Collapse.

PITTSBURG, April 18.-There was q
crowd of eager and excited people in
the Hobbies of the Oil Exchange when
the gong sounded this morning. The
disastrous break in oil from 1872 to
81. II at the close yesterday had so stag
gered brokers that they were prepared
for anything today. But the surprise
was an agreeable one to holders of GER
tificates, for the opening quotation was
$225, and this was Immediately fol-
lowed by a sale of $40, an advance of
% points over yesterdays close. From
this it sold down to $2.3712, and at 1880
was quoted at $241 bid. The Standard
again raised it's price this morning, but
only ten cents. 1t now stands at $3.50,
and for the first time since the boom
struck the market the exchange price
is below the Standards.
Reports from the fields indicate that
there is no cessation of activity, and
the prospect for new territory goes on
with undated zeal.
From II 80 till noon the market was
quite active, and it mas now nearly
recovered from yesterdays big break.
The highest point reached this forenoon
was $2.57 and the lowest $2.35. At noon
oil was quoted at $2.55 bid. Spectators
are getting over their scare and gaining
confidence. The activity in the oil mar
ket is having a stimulating effect on
local securities. Philadelphia Gas,
Westinghouse and other local stocks
went up this morning.
The market was steady and active all
afternoon, but took slight slump near
the close. The highest point reached
during the day was $751; and the low
est $2.35. 1t closed at $2.44 bid.

CardinI LedochOyvski Expresses
Opinion on the Manitoba cues
tino.
WINNIPEG, Man, April 1S.-Arch-
bishop Langevfn, of st. Boniface,
was interviewd this afternoon re-
garding the cablegram from Rome
announcing that the pope had ad-
dressed letter to the Canadian bish-
ops condemning the frequenting of
Protestant schools by the Catholics
of Manitoba. His grace sail that no
such communication had been re-
ceived by him and that the only let
ter upon the subject of the schools
which he had received had come
from the carinal vicar Ledochowski
at Rome. a summary Of which he
had already given to the press. His
grace translated the passage in that
letter which referred to Goddess
schools and which reads as follows:
Some have enormously thought
that there is no danger in those
schools which are called neutral and
that Catholic children can be indis-
criminately sent to those schools,
but the very fact of such institu-
lions excluding the true and all
other religions from their teachings
1nf1icts a great wrong upon religion
itself, and degrades it from the high
position it occupies in every human
life, and particularly in the educa-
ton of the young. 1t is not right to
say that parents can supply private
~ the religion which should be part
Of the school routine"

WHEAT BULGES FOUR CENTS
In the Past Three Days--Bulls
Manipulate the Coffee
Market.
YET ANOTHER Squirt IN OIL
Petroleum Receivers Nearly
All the Loss Of Wednes-
day.

CHICAGO, April 18.-There was a
scramble in the wheat pit on the
board Of trade today. The forces at
work gave the market an explosive
character. At the best price made
on the excited market this morning
May wheat was up about four cents
in three days. Last night the price
closed after a sharp bulge at 5IAc
seller. First sales today were all the
way from 571a to 5Sc, the bulls stand
ing on their heads with delight and
the bears half frightened out of
their skins. The little shorts took
their punishment the first hour
around 5Sc. At this point holders
sold a great lot of wheat in grab
bling for profits. Elevator people
sold wheat heavily. Ream, who car
ried his short line early in the week,
sold fresh short line. The trade
watched Ed Partridge closely They
count his short line in the millions.
That pducky plunger pinched his
cigar tighter than ever and stood
his ground. Brokers said he covered
a lot OF wheat for May, but sold
double as much for July, trying to
stop the advance. The market lifted
in furry at midday from 57Ac to
58Ac in about two minutes. Export
clearances of wheat and flour re-
ported from the Seaboard were yery
large at $4,000 bushels The milling
demand all over the country has sud
denly become very urgent. Mil
waukee millers were bidding two
cents over yesterday for wheat. The
iPrqce Current claims the spring
wheat acreage much reduced from
last year. Foreign markets were all
higher and cables said this was on
the American advances. Perhaps
the most sensational feature of the
day was the report on the floor that
all the big houses in the trade
promptly called Partridge ten per
cent margins on all his short trades
Inc same story gave it out that tho
houses got said margins yerv
promptly and more than asked for
IL rs supposed that the calling of
margins was more to brighten the
pig short into covering than be-
cause of lny sense of insecurity.

OIL FIELDS OVERRUN,
Spectators Are Wildly Excited
Many New Wells Being Onened

TOLEDO, O., April 1S-The number
of new rigs that are being erected in
the northwestern Ohio oil fields is
something enormous, and if the price
OF the crude product holds up anywhere
near what it is now, the oil trade will
make this by far the greatest year in
the history of the Trenton limestone
Helds. People that never had an idea
OF embarking in the oil business are out
hustling for leases. There is a fascina-
ton about the Gil industry that catches
them all, and when once in it they ara
there to stay. Every outgoing train
III the direction of the oil country is
loaded down with passengers. Ten
barrel territory is now considered yery
valuable territory by the trade which
Is hustling after it. On Saturday last
the shipments of Lima crude by the
Buckeye Pipe Line company amounted
to A,172 barrels. The runs were 1883
barrels. The large runs are accounted
for by the selling of oil by those par
ties who were holding for better prices.
The shipments were very large and if
they average that for any length of
time the surplus will diminish very
rapidly
The largest and most important well
completed in the Trenton rock district
during the past few days is the prop
erty of Tail and Mcdonald located
on the Twibell farm, near Montpelier.
1t started at better than 300 barrels q
day.

ally some misunderstanding, from
which the recent reports have arisen.
sEALERs HAVE NO CLAIM.
Such Is the Latest Reading of the
Paris Award.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Morgan was asked today for an ex-
preston regarding the report received
from London that Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador, had for
warded to his government a full state
ment of the facts in the matter of the
payment of damages by this govern
ment for the seizure of British vessels,
and replied that he was perfectly will
ing to have the question investigated.
Il have" he said, "Such confidence
in the fairness and good judgment of
the British house of commons, that
L feel that nothing can be lost by it's
going into the matter at length. I am
very confident that an inquiry into
the merits of the claim, even outside
OF the Paris awrd, will convince any
one that the claims are entirely I'M
founded, eXtortionate and wrong"
There is reason for believing that
when this question of payment of the
damages shall again come before con-
gress, the opponents of payment will
make the point that the claims are
barred from consideration by the
terms of the Paris award. A member
OF the senate who was given consider
able attention to the seal question
said, in discussing the proposal to pay
these damage claims: THE principles
raised by the Boring sea award de-
stroy the claims of Great Britain to
damages for the seizure of any ships
which before the date of the award
were found fishing within sixty miles
of the Pribyloff islands, or in Boring
sea with guns, explosives or nets, or
after the LIST of May to the 1st of
August in the Pacific ocean north of
latitude 30. Both governments are
bound to accept the enunciations made
by the Paris commission as the
measure of their rights and duties on
this subject, as applicable, not merely
since the making of the award, but
before. 1t was the just and equitable
duty of Great Britain before the award
was made, to do just what the award
required of that country towards the
United States" When Senator Nor
cams attention was called to this view
OF the question, he declined, on ac-
count of his connection with the Paris
tribunal, and with the senate, to dis
cuss it, saying it would be improper
for him at this time to do so.

He Relieved Nicaragua7s Reply
Was Acceptable to England.
WASHINGTON, April Is. = The
impression is growing here that
President Zelaya, of NicaIa qua, has
taken tco optimistic view of the
Si..ete of the relations between Great
B31aain and his own country, in as
suning tral1it the former had de-
o5ted to decrE1t from carrying out
that she has agreed to allow the
claim for indemnity to go to arbi-
tHaiticu. Tt is regarded as signifi-
cant fact here that Earl Kimberley,
Che Bill -sih foreign. minister, has
just returned suddenly to London,
and it is believed that the true ex-
PLANTATION of the delay in action is
to- be found in the fact that none
of the subordinates in the British
foreign Office felt like assuming the
responsibility for action in the alb
s;.nce of Earl Kimberley. It Is also
believed that President Zelaya is In

lister, has net heard from his gov
eminent as to Great Brftain's pur-
pose, but he is hourly expecting the
answer to his cable inquiry From
the delay in answering he believes
the Nicaraguan government is as
yet uninfoTmed as TO The latest
phases of the Situation, and is prob
ably in communication With its rep
tresefAtatives in London. Sir Julian

dor, received no advices on the sub
kJent today. He called at the state
department, as it was diplomatic
day, but lit is said to have had no
connection with the Nicaraguan
question.
: While there is an absence of Off
clad information, the diplomatic Off
Gals regard lit as settled that Great
Britain Will proceed to. enforce her
claim against Nicaragua by moder-
aItS but firm, means. The impress
sion also prevails That with pariia-

, would not risk an appeal to that
, body by moderatfng or yielding to
the proposals of a minor power. The

PLENTY OF REVENUE.
Income Tax VIII Still Yield the
Fifteen Million Estimated.

WASHINGTON, April 18-It was au-
thoritatively stated at the treasury de-
partment that reports of collectors so
lar received show that the amount of
income tax receipts no doubt will reach
the estimate made before the decision
of the supreme court was rendered. This
is interpreted to mean about Sic, 900 Co.,
No information as to the number or
amount of returns already reported
would be given out. Much to the sur
prise and annoyance of the officials, in
formation reached the department from
several cities that income tax returns
We're still being offered, and asking for
instructions. Several returns were Of
fered to the collector for this city, and
he was instructed to receive them sub
ject to whatever action might be de-
cided upon later.
