GEN. LEE TO CONTINUE IN CUBA.

By returning General Lee to Cuba,
President Mckinley shows that he
appreciates the work that the Gen
eral has been doing since he was ap-
pointed Consul General there. Gen
eral Lee was appointed under DEM
ocratic administration but he was not
in line with Cleveland's policy of al
lowing the Americans on the island
being thrown into prison without
cause, and he objected to this and
finally caused the administration to
take a more decided stand in the de-
fence of American interests there
Since President Mckinley has been in
power he has kept General Lee on
the island and has sustained him in
all cases in his demands for protec-
ton for Americans and their prop
erty. Although General Lee was a
general in the Confederate army, vet
since the war was over he has been
an earnest patriot, and in the time he
has been in Cuba has done everything
possible touphold the rights of Amer
leans and the honor of the American
flag. He has succeeded in freeing the
American prisoners held in Cuba
without cause and has changed the
course of the Spanish government

Advices from the Hawaiian Islands
state that the annexation treaty,
which was brought before the Senate
there, was passed by that body in less
than two hours and without dissent
ing vote. The Hawaiian, opponents
of this treaty are trying hard to de-
feat it and are calling mass meetings
OF the citizens in hope that they can
get them to oppose the treaty. The
citizens of other countries there
would, in many cases, like to see the
islands fall under the Jurisdiction of
their own country and they are thus
opposed to their annexation by this
country. The difficulty with Japan
appears in fair way of settlement,
and if the United States Senate rati-
fies the annexation treaty as made,
there is no doubt but that this coun-
try will soon come into peaceful pos
session of the islands,

BARTON VERMONT, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1897.
Attorney General McKenna has at

Attorney General McKenna has at
last rendered his decision in regard to
the statutory force of section % of
the tariff law, imposing a discrimi-
netting duty of ten per cent on all
goods coming into the United States
through Canadian ports. The Attor-
ney General has given the question
much study and this decision, which is
against the imposing of the duty will
be received favorably in the New
England states. In his decision the
Attorney General said: "It is said
that the purpose of the amendment
was to relieve the American transcon-
tinental railroads against the compe-
tition of the Canadian Pacific road.
1t may be admitted that this is
strong considera ton but on the other
hand it is urged that this competition
is benefit, and other American roads
claim that the Canadian Pacific is an
advantage to them AS there was no
apparent reason why the importa
tions should be Disseminated by diff
ferent duties the Attorney General
was of the opinion that such a policy
was not intended.

towards the citizens of this country.
He has thorough understanding of
affairs on the island and can do bet
tersthere than some new man who
would have co spend a long time in
studying tire situation before they
would be able to look after our inter-
ests there as they are now being cared
for. General Lee has reported to the
President on the condition Of things
on the island and his report is some
thing which the President can rely
and act upon and he may soon be ex-
pected to show more plainly the
course which he has mapped out.
Whatever course the President may
take General Lee can be relied on to
get along with the least possible
trouble with the Spanish in Cuba and
yet see that our interests there do not
suffer

TREATY OF PEAC BETWEEN
GREECE AND TURKEY.

A treaty of peace has been signed
at last between Turkey and Greece
and the Sultan is receiving the con-
gratulations of the rulers of Europe.
Tt appears from the terms of the
treaty that Greece has been stripped
of about everything, leaving her inde-
pendent only in name. The Grecian
frontier has been changed, the passes
which Greece has always held and
fortified to protect her against an
invasion from her enemies have been
given to Turkey, thus making the
Greek frontier one almost impossible
to defend: Turkey has been granted
an indemnity which will require all of
the Greek revenues for some years
to pay, and an international
commission in which the Great Pow
ers are to be represented, is to control
the revenues of Greecetill the indem-
nifty is paid. This will place Greece
in almost the same predicament as
Egypt. The only point which Eng
land appeared to gain in the terms of
the treatv is the one requiring the
early evacuation of Thessaly. The
Greeks are thus obliged to pay rather
heavily for their attempt to aid the
struggling Cretans. Had they not
been handicapped in their struggle at
first they might have been more sue
cessful but they could not hope to de-
feat Turkey when that country was
backed by the powers of Europe.
This victory for Turkey will make
quite change in European affairs as
it will make the Sultan quite a factor
in the settlement of all important
questions.

The knit-goods manufacturers held
a meeting in New York last week, and
decided to make an immediate ad-
vance in the prices of underwear,
hosiery, sweaters, mittens, knit caps,
etc., of from Is to 40 per cent. For
the past five years this business has
been in a depressed condition; the
mills produced more than the demand,
and goods were made up and forced
upon the market; prices were cut
until there was no standard. The
sudden advance in wool-from 35cts.
a pound three months ago to 55 or so
cents-and the steadily increasing
price of cotton, led to the concerted
action mentioned above.

The British government has a for
midable war on its hands in India,
some of the warlike tribes having re-
belled and taken up arms. They have
captured several forts and fortifica-
tions and an important pass in the
mountains which leads to Afghanis-
tan. So far the English forces,
large share of which are mature sol
diers, are faring badly. Heavy rein
forcements are going forward and the
rebellion will doubtless be quelled,
though at considerable cost of life and
a great expenditure of money. 1t is
a difficult thing for any uncivilized or
half civilized tribes to contend against
disciplined British troops.
