THE ST. PAUL AFlOAT AGAIN.
Came Into New York Harbor Under Her
Own steam Not Damaged.

Sandy Hook, n. j., Feb 4.-The steam
ship ST. Paul was fioated this morning.
She got off at $3.50 o'clock and at 1890 was
on the way to New York under her own
steam. The high sea last night caused the
vessel to rock considerably and she was
loosened from the sticky clay which was
below the bed of sand.
The St. Paul rode high in the water
Ten feet of her red sides were in sight
She was slightly down at the stern, but
she had no list. She was scraped and
SCARED a bit where the lighters had
rubbed against her, but she did not look
as though she had been through battle
for her life.
The first man off the steamship was Cap
tain Merritt, who has had charge of the
wrecking tugs. He wore a very broad
smile on his wea ther-b ca ten face
Clement A. Griscom, jr the manager of
the American line, received the reporters
on board the ship. He had the general
appearance of a man in good luck
"How's your ship" was asked,
"Never better" he answered. $50 far

you are asking questions too far ahead
two or three weeks in the future. But
I'll say he probably will.
'Will there not be an investigation into
the causes of the grounding of your yes

Certainly, certainly" was the answer.
"Who will form the court of inquiry %
Capt Shackford, my father and one

Jameson can explain everything. And
you can say, too, that we expect that the

A ROUSING CONVENTION,

ficient, the gold reserve was sufficient and
greenbacks wrought no havoc either with
our credit or with our treasury transact
lions at home or abroad. Greenbacks
were redeemed, but the redemption of
United States notes in gold for this whole
period of fourteen years averaged less
than three millions of dollars a year. Gold
was exported during This period but 1t was
not drawn from the reserve.
..wHEN TROUBLE BEGAN.
The trouble began with the advent of
the Cleveland administration and the DEM
ocratic Congress, began with the avowed
change of policy in reference to revenue
and tariff. In the first year, in 1898, of this
change the redemption of greenbacks and
treasury notes in gold amounted to more
than $101 zoo, 000 more, in one year, than
double all the redemptions of the previous
fourteen years. And this has continued so
that redemption in gold from the treasury
of these forms of currency has exceeded
an average of more than s100000,0O for
each year of the Cleveland administration.
And the gold, all practically drawn from
the treasury, has been exported to the
amount of more than 1905. 900, 900 in these
three and one-half fiscal years. which is
more than three-fourths as much as was
exported, not drawn from the treasury in
any considerable amount, during the whole
This is the history The United States
notes have not changed, their functions
have not changed. The coin and currency
system of the country has not changed.
The administration and the policy of the
government has changed.
Congressman Russell closed with feel
ing reference to Vcrmont's service in war
as recorded on monument on Gettys-
burg's battlefield, and Its valued work in
time of peace as shown particularly in the
record of the United States Senate. The
congressman was enthusiastically APP
plauded at the close as well as frequently
during the course of his able address. The
exercises closed with instrumental music
and campaign songs by Mr.. Markham, who
was several times recalled.

SENATOR PROCTOR IN BOSTON.
Vermont Leads New England In Corn,
Wheat and Barley

Washington. Feb. 7.-Senator Proctor
left this morning for Boston, to be gone
till Sunday. While he is absent his COM
mission room viii receive attention and
be put in better condition for the transact
ton of public business.
The monthly report just issued by the
agricultural department shows that YER
mont leads the New England States in the
crops of corn, wheat, barley, and stands
second on the list for oats, rye potatoes.
buckwheat and hay. Maine leads on oats,
potatoes, hay, and buckw,heat, while Mas
sachuserts leads the list on rye. The corn
crop was the largest in l6 years. while
the average price is the lowest in the same
period. The wheat crop was less than
usual and the price lower There were no
oats during the last year, and the price
was ten cents lower per oushel. The bar
ley acreage exceeded any previous year,
while the buckwheat crop was the small
est since 1879. The average farm price OF
corn, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat and
potatoes was lower in 1895 than for the
previous Is years, and in no year since 1880
was corn SO low as ins 1895, The potato
crop of 1895 was unprecedented in magni-
tude and the price was also way below
the average. The farmer certainly has not
profited by the low tariff.

V. NJ. Thomas house in Brandon mar
rowly escaped being burned Friday night
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas were awakened sud-
denly in the night to find the flames
streaking up In the rear part of the house.
Instead of sounding an alarm and waiting
for the hose company, they both went to
work with pals of water, and, with the
help of two or three neighbors, soon had
the tire under control. The fire in short
time would have been beyond control. 1t
started In some hay. which was in the
banking around the house, by sparks from
a neighbours chimney. which was burning
out, the wind being right to carry the
sparks that way. The clapboards on the
rear part of the house were somewhat
burned, but the damage will not be large.
