The warship Hannibal" II, 048 tons, the
heaviest ahoat, was launched last week at
Pembroke, England. She is similar to the
warship Majestic " recently launched.

Yorkshire, England, entombing one hum

any OF the men alive has been abandoned.
THE death penalties imposed at Pretoria
upon John Hays Hammond, Colonel
Rhodes and others OF the Johannesburg Re-
form Union have been remitted 1t has not
yet been decided what form of punishment
would be substituted for that which had
been abandoned.
THREE companies OF Matabeles sur
rounded Buluwayo, last week, but were
repulsed with great loss. The result of the
fight has had good effect in rendering the
Matabeles less aggressive. A dispatch re.

THE British steamer "On Wo" was sunk
last Thursday near Shanghai, China, by
getting in collision with the steamer New
chwang." The "On Wo" went down inn
mediately and the Newchwang" was
beached to prevent her from sinking. The
captain and five English officers and 300
Chinese were drowned. The United States
warships Olympia" " Boston," "York-
town and Detroit " sent boats to the as
sistance Of the On Wo" and saved many
lives.
THE Spanish authorities in New York
and Washington have recently discovered
a conspiracy formed by Oubans to blow up
a Spanish warship, and at the same time
intercept a Peninsula Mail steamship and
rob her OF large quantity of gold intended
for the government troops in the island.
The plot included further the capture OF
the seaport town of Nuevitas, and contem-
plated certain demonstrations along the
northern sections of the eastern Cuban
provinces in order to precipitate a rush of
troops from the west and effect weaken
ing OF the military trocha across Pinar del
Rio. The discovery of this plot is looked
upon as blow to the Cuban cause
THE yellow fever scourge, which is looked
upon by Cubans to aid them in their war of
independence, promises to be exceptionally
malignant this year among unacclimated
Spanish soldiers. DR.. Caminero, United
States sanitary inspector, announces forty
cases at Santiago De Cuba for the week end
ing April II. He says the reports are not
very encouraging in other cities. In Santa
Clara, for example, several native Cubans
have died from it and the cases OF two ne
groes, who took the fever and died, have
aroused the attention of all the physicians,
as it has hitherto been maintained that the
colored race in Cuba enjoyed a complete
immunity from this disease. Small box
continues to increase. Vaccination is still
spasmodically practiced, but there are no
means OF procuring vaccine except from
Havana once or twice week.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The efforts that are being made to
preserve those forest lands of Vermont
that have so far escaped destruction and
to save the timber which has been reck-
lessly destroyed are deserving of sue
cess. The Green Mountain State car
hardly hope ever to become great ag-
ricultural State. Notwithstanding that
the chief occupation of the people at
present is farming. Strip the State of
its forests and there would be lack of
good farming lands, for plowing and
planting on steep side hills never did
yield remarkably good results. But
there is good prospect Of Vermont In
creasing its wealth and Importance by
preserving and fostering its forest lands.
Under proper system of forestry the
value of the numbering industries will be
increased and at the same time the many
valuable water powers in the State,
adapted to manufacturing purposes, will
be preserved Troy Times.

THE RESOLUTIONS PASSED AT THE Re
PUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION AT
MONTPELIER

The Middlebury REGISTER advances
the novel explanation that Mckinlev's
victory in Vermont was not on ac-
count of the party's staunch adherence
to protection, of which Mckinley is the
leading apostle, but because of the
preference of the republicans of Yer
mont for bimetallism, rather than the
present standard. If the REGISTER
were not blinded by its pro-silver views
it would never arrive at such a con-
clusion. What basis is there for it in
view of the financial declaration of the
convention, which was sound as a nut?
Il West Randolph Herald and News.
Right above this item in the Herald
is another as follows:
The Michigan republican convention
last week, after "a contest, substituted
the Minneapolis straddle of 90 on the
currency question for a sound declara-
ton In favor of honest money. This
plank of 80 was written bv Senator
Jones OF Nevada, rank free silver man.
such declaration ought not to find a
place in the st. LOUIS platform this
year and we trust Will not. Michigan Is
the only eastern or central State that has
shown weak knee, though the Ohio
platform was not satisfactory in ali
respects.
In this last the Herald should have
added that the committee on resolutions
in the Michigan convention, like that in
the Vermont convention, was opposed to
the nomination of Mr.. Mckinley and
introduced resolutions favorable to
gold standard, which the Mckinley
crowd defeated, substituting the reso-
luton mentioned in the Herald. In
number of the western and southern
States the supporters of Mr. Mckinley
have passed bimetalhc resolutions, in
several of them advocating the free coin
age of silver at l6 to l, independently,
by the United States. In not single
State have the bmetallists supported
any republican candidate but Mr.. Nc
Kinley. 1t Is fair, then, to say that he
is their candidate In the republican
party, and it is equally manifest that he
has won, hands down.
We know that the gold standard papers
prefer TO account for the desire of the
people for Mr. Mckinley by saying that
1t is a desire for protection; the fact
being that any candidate in the repub-
lican party would represent protection.
The popular uprising for Mr.. Mckinley

WE are told that under the free
coinage of silver every owner of sill
yer bullion would take his silver to
the mints and have it coined into
dollars at government expense, and
no one would be benefited but the
owner of the silver But they fail
to tell US that the owner of gold bul,
lion takes his gold to the mints, has
it coined into dollars, aud no one is
benefited but the owner Of the gold.
That which is sauce for the goose
should be sauce for the gander. Our
constitution tells US that both silver
and gold shall be money, and that
Congress shall regulate the value
thereof. And there is no consti-
tutional amendment to the effect
that the owner of gold shall have his
metal coined into dollars while the
owner of silver must put his metal
upon the market as so much truck.
