The Noted Actor was Stabbed Ina Lon
don Last Night---the Assassin Prob
ably Insane.
William Terriss, the noted actor was
assassinated in London last night. He was
| stabbed as he was entering the Adelphia
theatre before the performance of Secret
Service" His assailant rushed at the ac-
tor as Terriss was stepping across the pave
ment from his cab and stabbed him lust
below the heart. AS Terriss fell his muir
derer was seized by people who were out
side the theatre. The wounded man was
carried into the theatre and doctors were
called from the Charing Cross hospital,
but the wound, which was very deep,
proved fatal and the actor expired in is
minutes. The assassin, Archer, is believed
to be insane.
Terriss fell, shouting: my God, he's
stabbed me; don't let him escape" The
assassin withdrew the dagger and made
second plunge at his victim, but he was
seized by the spectators, of which there is
always crowd about the stage entrance to
witness the arrival af the actors.
Terriss's real name was Levin. His
distinguished dramatic career really began
in 1880, when he supported Henry Irving
for seven years, first appearing in America
with Irving. Later Mr.. Terriss supported
Mary Anderson. OF late years he has
been star in melodrama.

THE LATEST NEWS.
Secretary Cages Plan

OF Currency Reform Submitted in Deh-
mite Form 10 the House Committee on
Banking aud Currency.
Secretary Cages currency reform meas
ure was made public yesterday, when it
was submitted to the banking and currency
committee of the House in the form of a
bill putting into effect his well-known
views on this question. BY the terms of
the bill an issue and redemption division
of the treasury department is established
and Sl25, 100000 in gold and a sufficient
amount of silver to meet outstanding sill
yer notes is transferred TO IT, This coin is
paid out in gold or silver according to the
demands of the note offered for redemp-
tion, and these notes are retained and not
again issued unless in exchange for the
coin for which they call. 1t is further
proposed to refund a certain portion of the
public debt by substituting ten-year u
per cent bonds for the four per cent bonds
now in circulation. National banks are
given authority to issue circulation up to
the face value of the bonds deposited in
the treasury. Banks whose deposits of
bonds are less than the amount of their
capital may deposit treasury notes and sill
yer certificates and issue circulating me-
dunn upon them. The amount of notes
thus deposited must not exceed $500, ,000,-
OOO. National banks with a capital of
SO, 900 may be established in towns of not
more than 6000 inhabitants, or with the
approval of the secretary of the treasury, in
towns of not less than 2000 inhabitants.
When the population of town is $4,000
the capital must be 100000.

The commissioner of pensions estimates
that 100000 pension claims are still await
ing adjudication, and that half of these
will be granted, adding from s., 900, 900 to
100000 to the present annual expendi-
ture. Foreseeing a constant increase in
the pension payments, due to late mar
rlages of pensioners, the secretary of the
interior recommends the passage of an act
providing that no pension shall be granted
to the widow of any soldier who shall here
after marry. This is on the principle that
woman who marries a soldier 32 years
since peace was declared takes him for bet
ter or worse, and not having experienced
any of the hardships, deprivations and
anxieties incident to the life of the wife
of soldier should not be put on the rolls
as such. Under existing law woman
who marries a soldier pensioned under the
act of 1890 ir not entitled to pension un-
less she was married to him prior to the
passage of the act, but there is no lmita-
tlOn respecting the wife OF soldier pen
stoned under the general act.

The butter exhibited at the meetings of
the Maine dairymen has always scored low
or than that shown at the New Hampshire
and Vermont gatherings. In mechanical
working, sailing AMI packing no appreci-
able difference is seen, but the Maine pro-
duct ranks lower in flavor. The Maine
Farmer believes that the difference is not
real but imaginary, and suggests that in
1898 a joint exhibition of the product of
the dairymen of Vermont, New Hampshire
and Maine be held at some central point,
the butter to be placed on exhibition in
uniform trays, entirely free from distin-
gushing marks, privately tagged, no tag
or number to be exposed, all awards to be
made by the use of the score card, and
the judge to be required to place upon
every card his reasons for making any cut
or defect in any particular Vermont has
nothing to fear from direct competition
with her neighboring states. She won the
highest honors at the Worlds Fair and at
the Paris exposition, and her product has
been given high mark by all of the ex-
pert judges.

position of 1900, presenting its capital in a
blaze of glory which it has never before ap-
preached, and, if the thing is possible, en-
tirely eclipsing the magnificent display at
Chicago. Ten million dollars is to be spent
on the palaces in the Champs Elysees,
Champ de Mars, Esplande des Invalides,
and on the Quays; $1,OOO,OOO on the
bridges across the Seine, 81 1000, 600 on the

place of the world in the closing year of
the century.

NIormons Going TO NIsrioo.

Representatives of the Mormon church
of Utah have contracted with the Mexican
government for the purchase of 5000 O0C
acres of land in the DegOllado district. 1t
is the intention of the church to locate
10000 Mormon cOlonists on the land with
in the next two years. Many of these col
onists will come direct from Utah, but the
greater number will be new converts to the
Norman faith from different parts of the
United States. There are already two
prosperous Mormon colonies in this state
aggregating about 5000 in number. The
5000, 900 acres just purchased will all be
placed under irrigation and divided into
small farming tracts.

Daudet Dead.
The End Came Suddenly 40 the Noted
French Writer.

Alphonse Daudet, the famous French
writer, died suddenly last night. He was
born in the old Gascon city of Mines 81
years ago and went to Paris at the age of
II. His first publication was volume of
poems entitled Lies Amoureuses. which
appeared in 1853 and won for him repu-
tation that led to his employment on sew
eral newspapers. The Figaro opened its
columns to description of Lies Gueuex
de Province" in which he depicted with
extreme eaTnestness and fidelity the mis-
cries and sufferings of the ushers in pro-
vincial schools. Among his other early
writings were poems and plays.
For five years he was private secretary
OF the Due de Morny, from 1861 to 1865
inclusive. He then made several attempts
to write for the theatre, but The results
were decided failures. II was while writ
ing under the pseudonym of "Baptiste." or
under his real name, novels, tales and
newspaper articles that he achieved his
real popularity. In 1875, in the French
academy, he was awarded the Jouy prize
for "FromOnt Jeune el Sisler Aine," which
was successfully dramatized by M. AL
phonse Belot NJ. Daudet was long con-
nected with the Journal Official, whose
theatrical department was under his charge
Daudet's writings were very popular, and
they have often been compared to those of
Dickens. Sappho was probably his best
known novel.

Still the cry goes up from Europe for
combination against the commercial ag-
gressiveness of the United States. The
greater part of the speech of Baron Won
ThielmanD, secretary of the German treas
ury, in presenting the budget to the Reich
stag the other day was devoted to sugar.
He said ''the role America played in the
sugar question resembled that of a pike in
a carp pond, and that the effect of the
Dingley tariff had been to increase the ne
cessty for the carp to combine forces
against the common enemy"

Joseph Letter of Chicago, who is at the
head of the big December wheat deal, says
the talk of a wheat corner is ridiculous.
Letter is about 80 years old, and Har-
ward graduate. He was given 81, 900, 600
by his father, the Chicago millionaire He
has bought immense quantities of the ce-
real, but he declines to give any figures.
p. ID. Armour and other rich spectators
who were caught short, are hiring tugs to
assist in keeping open the harbor at Du-
luth and the straits at Sault Ste. Marie,

mand to get hold of wheat. 1t is believed
that young Letter and his father have
bought 100000 to 10000, 900 bushels of
wheat.

Suits have been begun in Boston to test
the question whether members of assess
ment insurance companies can drop their
membership at will and at the same time
drop their responsibility for the Indebted
ness of the companies. The receiver of
the United States Mutual Accident asso-
citation levied an assessment on past men,
bers, and those who have not paid have
been cited to appear in the municipal court
in Boston to answer to suit brought to
recover the amounts due. The question is
new in Massachusetts, bat in New York it
has been decided that the policy holders
are holden. Whatever the decision in the
lower court in Boston the casees will 90 to
the supreme court of the state The final
determination will affect all the mutual as
sessment companies, and it will be of gen.
eral interest to see whether it is held that
when one of these companies goes out of
existence all its past members are liable
for its Indebtedness.

W. w. LaPoint of Barre, division com
mander Of the Sons of Veterans, urges
greater care in the selection of camp Off
GERS; he says: Never in the history of
the Vermont division has there been
need of better or more competent officers
than for the coming year. The division
has suffered loss of many camps and
hundreds of men during the year ending
July l. If the same loss was allowed to
continue for two years the Vermont divl-
sion would be ready for its obituary. The
cause of this great loss was in a considera-
BILE degree due to the incompetent men
who were in charge of the welfare of
camps. Without doubt the large majority
of the suspended and disbanded camps of
the past year died because of poor men
elected TO act as camp officers"

that the crusade they have inaugurated in

a general campaign in Maine, which will

the interest of the Maine law ever under
taken in the state. The temperance work
ers will file specific charges against the

Congress.

The bill providing for the prohibition of
pelagic sealing by Americans was pre-
sented in the Senate Wednesday by the
foreign relations committee. 1t was ex-
planned that the bill was in aid of negotia-
tions now pending among the representa-
tives of the government, of the United
States, Great Britain, Russia and Japan.
Mr.. Pettigrew antagonized the measure
and offered an amendment providing for
the killing of all seals ON the Pribyloff
islands if by the lst of June next Great
Britain also had not agreed to prohibition
OF pelagic sealing. The amendment was
defeated aud the bill passed by a vote of
81 to a.
Mr.. Mcbride endeavored to secure the
adoption of his resolution directing the
secretary of war to supply relief to the suf-
fering miners in the Klondike region, and
appropriating $3.50, 900 for that purpose,
but the resolution was recommitted.
The session closed with a civil service
debate upon the bill presented by the CEN
sus committee providing for the appoint
ment of director of the census and 80 en-
ployes, who should form the skeleton of
an Office force for the 18th census. Mr..
Lodge of Massachusetts made an extended
speech advocating the application of the
civil service law to the census office en-
ployes and saying that statistics would
prove that the work could be done at a
saving of time, money and efficiency if the
employees were taken from the civil service
certified list.
The legislative executive and judicial
appropriation bill was considered in the
House. An amendment was adopted re-
ducing the clerical force in the pension Of
fee 95, involving reduction in salaries of
$4,000. The civil service question was
discussed at some length

The announcement comes from Wash
ington, evidently by authority, that the
Dingley tariff law will not be changed in
any of its customs features at the present
session of Congress. The Republican
members of the ways and means commit
tee have reached general understanding
to this effect. They have sense enough to
know that any more tariff tinkerng at
present is the one thing that the country
does not want.

The announcement that George W. Van.
derbilt had taken out a life insurance poll
cy of 100000 brings out the statement
that the most heavily insured American is
John Wanamaker, who has policies ag-
gregating $1,525, 900. The late Duke of
Marlborough of England was insured for
$3,0OO,000. Mrs. Leland Stanford took
out policy for 81 ,OOO,O 900 in favor of the
Leland Stanford university in April of
the present year. She is more than Il
years old. 1t is seldom that insurance
companies take risks on persons of so
great an age. Mrs. Stanford pays a yearly
premium of $4,000 If she dies within
ten years the university will receive 81, ,OOO,-
600, while if she lives more than ten wears
it will receive s., 100000. Col, Albert B.
Hilton of New York is insured for 81, ,25O,-
600. The heaviest policy holder in New
England is j. r, Whipple of YOung's ho-
tel, Boston, with 100000. Theodore N.
Vail of Lyndon carries the largest amount
of insurance of any Vermonter, 500. 900.
Gen. j. j. Estey of Brattleboro has poll
cies which represent upwards of $780, 900.
The business of life insurance grows great
er every year, and there are few persons
comparatively who fail to take advantage
of it.

Senator Morrill, ON Hawaiian Annexa-
From the Burlington Free Press

from the Burlington Free Press
AS it has been known and publicly
claimed that Senator Morrill, of Vermont
was opposed to annexation of Hawaii, we
think we violate no confidence by copying
the following brief indication of his po-
sition, as expressed in a private letter re-
Gently written by the Senator to Vermont
constituent. He says;
81 have told our friends that If Wash
ington or Oregon would accept of Hawaii
as county, l would favor it (annexation)
but never as territory, as it would be
brought into the Union as a state upon
the first exigency, and it would be a farce
to give the natives or any others there
state powers and equal representation in
the Union with New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Ohio, and Massachusetts
1t is fair to assume that our senior Sena-
tor has given the subject the fair, candid
and impartial consideration which he is
wont to give to all public questions, and
especially questions on which he is called
upon to act as legislator and adviser of
the President and his conclusion will carry
with it no little weight before the public.
