state department yesterday. The pur-
pose OF the japanese authorities Is to
secure specific assurances from the Unit

fully protected. In the last letter Sher-

Hawaii would be amply safeguarded.

is about one and three-quarters miles south
east of Chester and is bounded on three
sides by the babbling waters OF the Will
liams river; on the east side, parallel with
its entire length is the Rutland railroad.
The camp is supplied with excellent water
from large reservoir supplied by two
springs, built to the west of the river, the
water being carried to the grounds in a
two inch iron pipe, the pipe extending in
the rear of the tents nearly the entire
length of the field it is tapped with faucets
at short intervals, so that so far as con-
venience goes, nothing is left to be desired.
ibis job was superintendent by F. L. Jun
k'ns, Chester's well known and popular
tinsmith.
Money was raised by subscription and
foot bridge built across the river on the
west side of the camp for the convenience
OF the public. This bridge shortens the
distance between Chester and the grounds
nearly half mile
The camp is also fortunate in having
many of the convenienccs of modern life.
1t has telephone and telegraph offices Of
Its own; offices have all been opened by
the American express company and the
Il 'tland railroad.
Wis tors should not forget that to the
west is an elevation which will well repay
the effort of climbing; from it can be OBJ
tanned the b. st view of the camp to be
found anywhere.

MIR. ChiIds at his Old Post.

A muster would hardly be complete
without the presence of f. w. Childs of
Brattleboro, and his numerous friends
throughout the state will be. pleased to
know that he is in Chester this week.
During the past year he has been at
deaths door more than once, but during
the past few months has been gaining
rapidly, and there is every indication that
he will be himself again in the near future.
He is not yet a well man, but is able to do
considerable work, and is receiving con-
gratulations on all sides. He and Mrs.
Childs are stopping at the elegant home of
Mrs. Fullerton on Main street.
Mr.. Childs has been identified in differ
ent capacities with the military interests of
Vermont for many years. He was for
merly member of Co. of Brattleboro.
and for % years has ''wl itten up musters
for different representatives of the press
and always with a research, an elaborate
attention to detail and beauty OF diction
peculiar to himself. During the present
muster he is the special representative of
the Springfield Republican, and the ex
cellent work he is doing demonstrates that
his physical Ii fiimities have not dampened
his ardor or crippled his mental activity.
Mr.. Childs stated to representative of
the ZINES that so far as he knew Chester
was the first town in the history of the state
to be chosen for a muster, where there was
no military organization; he also said that
general muster had never before been
held in Windsor county. However, what
IN the "old times" were known as field
days were quite common occurrences
The last one to be held in Chester
was in 1910, when the Flood
W 'ods, George L. Fletcher, captain,
company OF Infantry regularly uniformed,
and comp any OF horse men mustered on
IL tie plot OF ground in the rear of where
The Baptist church now stands.

A lew Words from Senator Proctor.

Our regular army is $500 men or about
one soldier TO, 2S00 inhabitants. There is
little probability that it will be increased
IN proportion to the increase of population
1t can be, therefore, in case of war only o
bare nucleus of an army. Our reliance
must be upon our National Guard. For
tunately there is growing interest in all
parts OF the country in this citizen organi-
z.tlon. 1t numbers now something over
100000 men, generally with modern arms,
wei! drilled, well disciplined and well
qnipped for service. In a republic where
every man is sovereign, every able
bodied citizen should be prepared to take
arms In defence of his sovereignty nhen-
Ever his country is in peril. | believe that
military drill and discipline is personal
oereiit to young man of the right spirit
and it is as well duty to his country to
be prepared for active service.
These are briefly some of the reasons
why our National Guard should be encour-
aged and generously supported.

the people were never discouraged with

Vermont is indeed lasting credit to her:
Each and oil the various regiments and

gratifying to rcilize that at each and every

A Tour to Washington at Exceedingly
Low Rates.

Washington is today the handsomest
city in America, and undoubtedly one
of the most beautiful capitals in the
world. That grand monumental build
ing, the Capitol has no counterpart.
The new Congressional library, with its
statues, its bas reliefs, and its marble
halls, is a veritable palace. The great
monument, five hundred and fifty-fiVe
feet high, is the loftiest memorial shaft
in the world, and the National Museum
has the reputation of being the most
perfect in design for the purpose of any
in existence. In point of interest it is
second only to the famous British Mu-
scum of London. The three day
tours of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company are arranged to cover all
these points of interest, and many
more. The tour of the city is made
under the personal escort of an expert
enced tourist agent, and every facility
is afforded for a complete visit.
The next tour of the present series
will leave New York and PHILADELPHIA
March II. Round trip tickets, includ-
ing hotel accommodations and every
necessary expense, will be sold at rate
of $14.5O from New York $1l.5O from
Philadelphia, and at proportionate
rates from other stations. Apply to

We're introduced by Representative

debate adopted:
Whereas. The press dispatches in
form us that Grover Cleveland a pri-
vate citizen of the United States, is
now aboard u government boat with IL
party of friends indulging his passion
for duck shooting at public expense:
and
Whereas, The cost of running the
government boat which said Grover
Cleveland appears to have contisCated
for his own use is heavy, and the tax
payers are already staggering under
the burden of debt which Grover
Cleveland when a public official great
ly increased therefore be it
Resolved, BY the house of repre-
sentatives of the Thirty ninth Cen
eral Assembly OF Missouri. that the
president of the United States is here
by respectfully memoral.xed to have
an inquiry made into the reported con-
fiscation of a government boat by the

Now. therefore, !, William Mckinley,
president of the United states of Amerlca,
do hereby proclaim and declare tina, an
extraordinary occasion requires the ron
Eress of the United States to convene I'm

The limiting clause restricting the ac-
ton of the extra session ito such COM
munications are may be made by the
executive" suggests that possibly the
president may limit the objects of the
extra session to the passage of the un-
acted upon appropriation bills and the
enactment of a tariff law, the object
of which will be, in the words Of Mr..
Mchinley's inaugural address, ITO stop
deficiencies by the restoration of that
protective legislation which has always
been the frmest prop of the treasury

session for the repeal of the Sherman

MARKETS AND STOCKS.
Wull Street Review.

New York, March G.--Today's limited
market at the Stock Exchange was under
absolute control of the room traders. They
are for the moment bearish, and seem to
be greatly exercised over the probability
of war in Europe. The weakness of the
international issues following on the heels
of yesterdays foreign selling was of ad-
vantage of those operating for a lower
range of prices. Among the issues listed
abroad, Louisville and Nashville was es-
pecially weak, falling to 47Si the lowest
of the week. St. Paul another foreign ia
vorte, reCcdd y per cent. to 7jis.
In the Industrial group Sugar was
weak, especially near the close. Chicago
Gas, Leather Preferred and General Elec-
tric We're all a shade lower, but the trad
ing was light Jersey Central was the
feature of the anthracite coalers, the
stocks falling rs to 1873 on the unfavora-
BILE January statement. The other an
thracites presented little of interest Near
the close stocks were inclined to rally on
covering of shorts. but in the final trans
actions the market was barely steady in
tone Active stocks lost lialL per cent,
while st. Paul and Omaha Preferred,
which is rarely traded in gained per
cent, Transactions were light amounting
to 1920 shares.
