The men employed in the large tan
neries in Chicago went out on a strike
last week. The cause of the trouble

ment's bill. Justices Field, Gray,
Shiras and White dissented.

The supply of petroleum in Peru is
apparently unlimited, the area yield
ing it being 1900 square miles.
Though the area of the Pennsylvania
oil fields is estimated at only $50
spare miles, the aggregate yield is
stated to be SIG, 100000 barrels. An
official statement shows that of 40
Peruvian wells bored in the last four
years, most of them have been pro-
ably operated, while a number have
given forth $4,000 gallons per day.

Gen. Horace K. Ide died in Brattle-
bOro last Wednesday of Brlghts dis.
ease. He was on his way home from
Florida where he had been during the
winter. Gen. Ide was born in Barnet
81 years ago. He served through the
Civil war and won the title of captain
and brevet major for gallantry in
battle. When the Vermont militia
was organized he was appointed
quatermaster general. He leaves
a wife and one son.
A deed was filed in the office of the
Burlington city clerk last Tuesday by
which w. j. Van Patten completed
gift which he has long had in con-
temptation with the city mission.
This deed gives to the Young Mems |
Christian association and it's success
ors the lot and premises at the south
west corner of College and Cham
plain streets, now occupied by the
ADAMS missions, IN Sucn a. manner
that the latter will occupy the proper

The state superintendent, Mason S.
Stone, in his last report, gives the en-
rollment for 1896 of the six largest
academies in Vermont as follows:
ST. Johnsbury academy, $40; Troy
Conference academy, 210; Lyndon
institute, 100; Montpelier seminary,
1874; Goddard seminary, 1870; Rut-
land institute, 1853; Saxton's River
academy, 153. The large enrolment
of ST. Johnsbury academy is, in part,
accounted for by the fact that it does
the high school work for the town.
Mr.. Stone is making arrangements
for summer schools for teachers, to
be held in five different towns in Yer
mont, in July and August. The To-
cation of these schools have not been
selected, but they will be held in
towns most central for the greatest /
number of teachers.

1t is but another reminder of how
large our country is that New Eng
land is SO little interested in the sde-
TALES Of the tornado which caused SO
much suffering fow days ago in the
town of Chandler. Oklahoma. Be-
side the gas explosion of month ago
which seemed to US SO terrible, this
catastrophe in the little town of L.
500 people was, indeed, wholesale
slaughter.
The story is narrowing and its re-
hearsal is accompanied with distress
ing features. When the disaster was
over, thnre was at least 80 persons
killed, as maho fatally injured. On
ly four buildings were standing in the
township, and one doctor and 500
represented all the relief which the
upturned community could muster
inside of twenty four hours. Other
placed suffered from the same lorna
do andfrom others which followed it
from toe southwest.
With the swollen Mississippi beeak-
ing through it's levees and washing
away acres of buildings and crops,
and with such geological dis
turbances as those which brought
suffering to Oklahoma, the people in
some parts of the United States are
having troubles and sorrows that we
in the East know not of. A nation of
about seventy million Inhabitants
naturally muot have discomforts and
losses from natural causes, but in our
gratitude for comparatively safety we
ought to realize that New England is
about the most f ortunate corner
of our land.

JAPAN ON A GOLD BASIS.

Japan's new monetary law is to
take effect on October 1, 1897, and
while the issue of coin of different
metals will be continued they will all
be measured by the gold standard.
The value of all coins is to be reckon
ed by the decimal system, the yen
which corresponds to the dollar, be-
ing the standard. Under the new law
gold coin will be circulated as legal
tender without limitation as to the
amount, but silver will be legal tender
only to the amount of ten yen or less,
while nickel and bronze will be legal
tender up to one yen.
Japan will enjoy the free and unlim-
tied coinage Of gold alone after the
! new law takes effect, the government
manufacturing gold coins for indivi-
duals upon application; and in order
to prevent the holders of silver coin
now in circulation from suffering loss
it is provided that the silver yen here
tofore issued will be exchanged for
new gold coins at the convenience of
the government.
What effect the adoption of the
gold standard by Japan at this time
will have upon the cause Of interna-
tional bimetallism is a question, but
the chances are that the leading Eu
ropean powers will not allow it to in
fiuence their course. If Russia, which
has been accommodating gold in large
quantities for the purpose of adopt
ing that standard, should follow ia
pans example, however, it must be
admitted that the outlook for the
adoption of international bimetallism
would be far less encouraging than it
is at the present time.-Free Press.
That Gen Martinez Campos will be
appointed governor general of Cuba
and that Gen. Sabas Martin, now in
Porto Rico, will be commander-in-
chief is of the latest rumors from
Madrid. 1t is intended to make the
military operations independent OF
the political direction and administra-
ton of public affairs, though General
Campos will at all times have author
ity over Gen. Martin. General Cam
pos, it is said,. has not accepted the
proposal. His views on the Cuban
are pessimistic, and he has
declared that a mild and conciliatory
policy is not enough to extinguish
the revolutionary spirit in Cuba,
which has been very much increased
recently by the intense bitterness and
hatred fomented by the war; much
less will such policy put an end to
the revolution, which is stronger now |
than ever. 1t is supposed that as the
condition of accepting the govern |
ment of Cuba he asks from the cabinet |
extraordinary powers which will per-
NIT him to grant as many concessions
the subject. Opportunity must be
given to the interests to be affected
and to the public, to present sugges-
lions and objections. There should
be no attempt to bring in the millen-
um on the morrow. It would be too
sudden. The ideal cannot be reached
1T step, but we should face and
and move that way
In other words, the training Of our
must begin at once. We
wait until the fight is thick
about us and then hope to have ex-
gencies create leaders. We must be-
gin begin now to prepare for the fray.

Senators Begin a Series Today at the
Massachusetts Capital.
The last shower of the day, that came
about 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon, knock
ed out the last chance of a game between
the New Yorks and Washingtons at Ma
ional Park. As the local club has not yet
rounded into batting form the shower can
be taken as good luck. At ) o'clock the
Senatorial aggregation, with the exception
Of Maui and Swain, boarded a Baltimore
and Ohio train for Boston, and IL every
thing goes we'll they will be on hand this
afternoon for the opening game of the
series between the two clubs in that CITY.
Mercer Will do the twirling for the Wash
ingtons. while Charley Nichols or Sullivan
should go on the slab for the Beaneaters.
Nichols has not regained his last year s
form and should he go IN the box our rep
resentatives have more than a good chance
OF capturing the game.
President Freedman and his Giants re-
turned home yesterday afternoon when IL
was decided that no game could be played,
Well satisfied with the clubs work in this
city. The proposition that confronts them
today-Brooklyn-will make the New York
boys extend themselves and should they
win their title of Giants will be re-estab-
lished.
John Kimban, the pitcher signed early
this spring on the recommendation of
Shortstop Wrigey and who was released
by the Washington management short
time since, received an offer yesterday
from the Columbus, Ohio, club, and has
decided to accept. Kimball has the making
of a good twirler in him, and with another
years seasoning should do well. He does
not depend on his arm alone, but uses
headwork.
The Senators return home Sunday, and
Monday begin series of three games with
their arch enemies. the Baltimores No
matter how many games the Senators NAV
lose to other clubs, if they can but make
the Orioles take their dust the average
Washington fan" will forgive all their
faults. Several years back the Baltimores
were easy picking for the Washington club
but since Ned Hanlon drifted in to the
monumental city the local cup of woe has
been filled to overfiowing. AL. Maui will
probably pitch one of the games, and
should. he go m the box Monday a record
breaking crowd will assuredly be on hand

FL Reno dispatch: Prosperity with
All its Influences has been the means OF
bringing 10 Oklahoma a large number
of people. Some to look around and
size up the vastness and richness of
the country, others to stay and take
the bitter with the sweet while still
another class have come to live on the
good things that have been sent us,
without as much as asking leave to
do so. For the past two weeks mob
of lshmaelites from all over the coun-
try have been loating around the citv.
They would not work and have terri
fed women and children until the sit
uation became unbearable. City
Marshal John Hudspeth and his eff
cient deputies, armed with black
snake whips, made a swoop down on
their camp this morning and by the
vigorous use of their new and i'm
proved weapons drove the Weary W'l-
lies far beyond the gates of the town.
1t was harsh way to do but some dis.
eases need heroic remedies.
