With out arms, with only few hundred devoted followers, he threw off the yoke of Spain and started the instruction in the Phil ippines.

pernumerary commissioned officers and
the honorable discharge or transfer OF su-
pernumerary enlisted men, and nothing
contained in this act shall be construed as
authorizing the permanent increase of the
commits stoned or enlisted force of the reg
ular army beyond that now provided BY
the law in force prior to the passage of this
act, except as to the increase OF 25 majors
provided tor in section one hereof" The
Importance of legislation for the permanent
increase of the army is therefore manifest,
and the recommendation of the secretary
OF war for that purpose has my unqualified
approval. There can be no question that
at this time and probably for some time in
the future, 100000 men will be none too
many to meet the necessities of the sltua-
ton. AT all events, whether that number
shall be required permanently or not, the
power should be given to the president to
enlist that force if in his discretion it
should be necessary, and the further dis
cretion should be gwen him to recruit for
the army within the above limit from the
inhabitants of the islands, with the govern
ment OF which we are charged.
1t is my purpose to muster out the en-
tire volunteer army as soon as congress
shail provide tor the increase of the regular
establishment. This will be only an act oi
justice and will be much appreciated by the
brave men who left their homes and en-
ployments to help the country in its emer-
gency.

Opening of Congress.

Promptly at noon Monday the last ses-
sion Of the 55th congress was opened at
Washington with due formality. Probably
not since the civil war has there been such
a general interest in the deliberations of
this body. This country has made history
and lots of it during the past eight months
and the eyes Of the world are upon us and
our congress. Precedents of century
have been set aside; our national policy
has been radically changed; we are no
longer to confine our national life to sim
gle continent or even hemisphere; if the
policy of the administration is sustained we
are to vie with the world in gaining and
retaining the wealth OF the tropics. Not
since the dark days of civil rebellion has
there been such need OF patriotism and
craftsmanship. That congress and the
president may make no false step is the
prayer of all the people.

Another Blizzard.

The blizz .rd of last Sunday, unlike the
one of the previous Sunday, did not seri-
ously effect the New England coast. It.
did thousands of dollars Of damage out at
sea and ragged with unabated violence in
New York. 1t passed to the north visit
ing western Ma. sachu,etts, New York
state and parts ct Vermont. In the vicin-
ity of Rutland the storm was especially
severe. Buildings were unroofed and
blown down, trees W rooted, wiadows,
doors and blinds smashed and cattie killed
Here are few Instances reported from
Rutland "The most serious damage done
by the wind was the wrecking OF barn on
George G. Thrall's place on North Main
street, in which 20 head OF cattle were
crushed to death. Mr.. Thrall estimates
the loss on the building at 5000 and the
loss on the stock at about $780, The barn
was a frame structure with floor 30 by 60
feet. There was cellar under it and it
was lighted by electricity. There were
about 40 tons of hay in the barn. The
cattle, numbering 61, were in the cellar
and there were n head of sheep on the
barn floor, all but one of which were saved.
The cattle, mainly Holsteins, were mostly
cows under three years old. The wind ap
parently moved the barn several feet to-
ward the west ard the whole structure the n
collapsed. A part of the cows were buried
under an immense weight of hay and were
probably killed instantly. Others were SO
badly injured that they had to be killed as
soon as they were taken out. A section OF
the roof of the barn, about 20 feet square,
was blown clear over another small barn
and landed near Mr.. ThrslPs house. He
heard this strike the ground, but did not
think anything serious had happened till
one of his neighbors raped on his window
and told him his barn had been blown
down. This was shortly after 12 o'clock
Monday morning. With the help Of some
more neighbors Mr.. Thrall at once
set to work to rescue the imprisoned stock.
The party worked all night, but some of
the animals were buried SO deep under the
hay and timbers that it was not until
o'clock Monday afternoon that the last
carcass was taken out"
Several thousand panes Of gln4ss were
sold by hardware dealers and GLACIERS
Monday. The Bellows Falls wire was the
only long-distance telephone connection
that Rutland had Monday. The Rsnning-
ton, Fair Haven and northern connections
were all broken. The local exchange suf-
fered severely. There were about 80 wires
broken in the city limits by falling trees.
