A number of the train dispatchers ana
clerks employed at the station have been
summoned to Burlington to appear De-
fore the U, S. District Court which con-
yened in session this week. An interest
ing question will arise as to whether the
emplovment of the aforesaid dispatchers
and clerks IS violation of the inter-alien
contract law, the men in question having
been sent here from Canada by the q. L.
Ry. Co. The dspatching OF trains on
this division was formerly performed at
Montreal and Island Pond Recently the
office here was made the central office OF
the division, all train dispatching to be
done here and under this order the men
employed in the Montreal office were
transferred to Island Pond. The out
come of the matter is awaited with no
little curiosity by our people, and by the
parties interested. We understand the
Railroad Company to claim that the De-
partment so construed the law as to
permit the Company to transfer the men,
saw from Montreal to Island Pond, to
do the same and a certain class ofwork.

its CORES pondent at Madrid: Public
attention Is engrosSed by the appoint
po,ntInent of General Stewart l.. Wood

cident with the arrival OF General
WoOdford. Marshal Martinez Campos
viii proceed upon separate mission TO

In accordance with the wishes of
President Mckinley, Martinez CampOs
should be the executor of any arrange

and the United States. Indications do
not point to any arrangements being
reached with the United States and IN
innate friends of Senior Canovas del
Castillo. the Spanish premier, declare
the premier Will strenuously oppose
autonomy. CASTELAR,, the Liberal leader,
is also opposed to anything of the kind.
They both consider that such a conces-
sion would render 1t very difficult to
maintain Spanish sovereignty.
The report that the United States
will insist upon autonomy apd the
withdrawal of the Spanish troops and
that otherwise 1t Will intervene by
force if necessary does not make for
peaceful solution, and the position is
regarded throughout Spain with con-
siderable anxiety"

story building, was torn to pieces.
Twenty other houses had all the win

the city.
Olchofski was seriously injured in
saving his wife and his recovery Is
doubtful, Following the explolSn the
wrecked buildings took fire, But the
tiremen kept the flames from spreading.
The infant child of Michael Joyce was
dangerously injured and a little son Of
John Klein almost sutfOcated. The
total loss will reach $50, 200.
OlchofSki has been in political and
church wrangles for u number of years
and was the recognized leader OF one OF

thought il possible that some enemy
had blown up his store he said he did

Nobody could be found who could
explain the cause of the disaster. Cir
