Vermont at the Inauguration.-Ver

mont's representation at the Mckinley
inauguration promises to be the largest
and most notable in the history OF the
state. The state government will be
represented by Gov. Josiah Grout, Lieut..
Gov. n. w. Fisk, Speaker OF the House
William A. Lord and other officials and
members of the legislature. The military
arm Of the state will unite with the civil
authority at the inaugural in the form OF
battalion OF the national guard and
Brigadier General Estey and staff, ac-
companied by band. The troops will
march in the grand parade, led by Gov
Grout and staff, mounted
Vermont headquarters will be estab-
lished at the Arlington hotel, where the
Mckinley club will also have parlors. A
contract has been made for reviewing
stand with 500 chairs for visiting Yer
monters This stand is located on Penn
sylvana avenue, fronting the new post
office building. 1t is reported that COM
pany OF Brattleboro has voted to go to
Washington and will form one OF the
two companies to make up the military
escort of Gov Grout. The national
guard is indebted to DR.. w. Seward Webb,
president OF the Wagner car company,
for this opportunity to attend the in
auguration, Dr. Webb having placed five
cars at the service of the militia, free of
charge for the trip and during the stay
at Washington. 1t is understood that
these cars will occupy the siding with the
Mckinley train at the corner OF Mary
land avenue and Twelfth street, only
four blocks from Pennsylvania avenue.
A pleasant feature OF the week will be a
reception by Senator and Mrs Proctor
at their residence on Wednesday evening.
All Vermonters in Washington will be
welcomed. On Friday it is expected the
Vermont party will pay visit to Presi'
dent Mckinley at the White House. The
special train, which will pass through

ing up rapidly. Indications point to al
attendance at the Inauguration of Over
300 Vermonters. A handsome gol(
bronze badge, with the state coat o
arms pendant, has been adopted by the
Mckinley club, and may be won by al
visiting Vermonters. The badge ant

The Globe Teachers Contest

teachers contest was printed last We'd
nesday and the last result OF the vote
until the final result is known, probably
in Sundays Globe, was printed yesterday.
The contest has excited more interest
than any other newspaper contest OF the
kind and the Globe must have had an
immense extra sale during the last few
weeks. Monday evening 1000 Globes
came up to Hanover, where a number
are probably working for Miss Reagan
OF White River Junction. Miss Mabel
Brock of Barnet has been in the lead for
several days, thousand or more
votes day going in to her credit.
1t is impossible to foretell the result, as
all the leaders are holding back big
punches OF coupons to put in at the last
minute. No coupons will be received
after o o'clock this morning. The drop
in game at the last minute may cause
some surprises. Some who are in the rear
may have a, big surplus and be in the lead
on the final count. Up at Lyndonville
they are working hard for Prof. Ranger,
former principal of the institute, now OF
Johnson Normal school, and surplus OF
1000 or 8 200 will probably 90 in to his
credit at the last minute. Last week he

manner W. W. Husband, {. c., gave an
interesting address on the anniversary OF

work it is doing. Rev. Thomas lyric
told in a most pleasing manner the
the story of the wonderful friendship
of Damon and Pythias. H. N. Turner
gave his opinion Of the Pythian lodge
from the standpoint of an outsider in a
way that impressed all that he had a
pretty good opinion OF it. Frank French

social time closed the evenings enter
tanment. Refreshments were served.

News From Samoa.-The Samoa
Herald OF the issue Of Jan. ?, in leading
editorial reviewing what had been done
in Samoa during he past year, speaks OF
the work performed by Chief Justice lde
as follows:
Encouraging evidence Of work per-
formed lies before us. 1t has been the
final year OF the administration OF the
chief Justice and Mr.. Ide has shown
energy worthy Of the race from which he
springs throughout the whole y
months the samoan supreme court has
been kept going at high pressure, until
the vast arrear OF land appeals remain
ing as the result OF the international
land commission have been finally
dealt with. Mr. Ide leaves Samoa with
a clean record as just and able Judge
few OF his decisions have been questioned
and the volume OF work which he has
managed to put through during the past
year is scarcely likely to be rivalIed, Tor
human nature, in the tropics. cannot
keep up the pace for long
Nothing has yet been heard either
officially or otherwise of the appoint
ment of a successor to Chief Justice lde.
Whilst the Samoan public is rejoicing at
this, the chief justice holds different
view, and unlike most Office holders, will
rejoice when hc receives his release.

Not Irue.-The report has been current
that J. o. Drouin, who is now in Boston
on business, had consented to rent his
mill to another shoe firm, that he had
been consulting with the manager Of the
company in Massachusetts and that an
attempt would soon be made to raise
capital and organize another shoe com
pany in St. Johnsbury, There is nothing
to the report as the fact that Mr.. Drouin
is in Boston to purchase more machinery
for the operation of his dressing mill
shows, Instead Of being interested in a
shoe company he is much interested in
formulating plans for the organization Of
cooperative manufacturing company,
already considerably discussed. He is
making Investigations in Boston as to
the best methods OF forming such com
pany and when he returns steps may be
taken to bring it about. Such com.
pany would take contracts for erecting
buildings here and in other places. Al
the finishing could be got out in the mil
here and then shipped to wherever the
building was in process of erection Sucl
company would give employment tC
all the different trades necessary in thu
construction of building and woulC
keep large force busy in the mill. |
would be a good thing for St. Johnsbur,

the plans put into successful operation.

gin to move on the 18th OF March about
the time Mckinley takes his oath of

Thus the business would start right on

allow the necessary preparations to be
finished before II arrives.

Il do not know" replied Dalzell,
but l should hesitate to entertain
such a suggestion about one who is not
here to speak for himself"
w. A. Stone. Rep, Pa, defended the
Carnegie Co. Simpson, Pop, Kan, in
sisted that there was a pool of all the
armor plate manufacturing companies
of the world, he charged that a con-
spiracy was in progress to coerce Con-
gress to surrendering to organized
prices presented by these companies,
The two war scares now running in
the newspapers, he said, made up part
of this conspiracy.
Messrs. Savers, Dem, Tex, Gaines
Dem, Tenn, and Wheeler, Dem, Ala.
also opposed the Stone proposition.
The debate was concluded by Cannon,
VINO oppressed the opinion tlat IN.
Senate would never agree to any prop
ostion fixing the limit Of cost at more
than 5000. He did not endorse a portion
of the Senate amendment and if
Stones motion was voted down he
said the House conferees would con
slider themselves not to agree to any
increase Of the limit of cost to more
than $500.
Stone attempted at this point, to Sc
cure an adjournment, and thus delay
action. but his motion was voted down.
Savers then moved concurrence in the
Senate amendment On rising vote
there was plainly a large majority for
the motion and Boutelle demanded the
yeas and nays.
The record may be valuable when the
next Cuban resolution is brought in"
he cried.
Again Stone moved to adjourn. Bal
ley, Dem, Texas, made the point that
the motion was dilatory and was sus-
tanned by the Speaker.
Sayer's motion to concur was carried,
l42 to As.
The bill was sent to further confer
ence. The House then at Gas adjourned
until Monday.
