A short time ago we were surprised at
learning that we here in Vermont had
either the largest butter mandatory in
the world or one that was at least second
to any in the world, and now we pick up
a little pamphlet showing that the lead
ing railroads like the Maine Central, Bos-
ton & Maine and others which are trans
porting hides, calf skins, sheep pelts and
tallow are conveying it to the establish
ment of Elk Gov. Page at Hyde Park, and
that 909b OF all they carr OF that class
of goods are transported to him. From
facts and figures we'll authenticated the
Gov. must be the largest dealer in those
articles in the world. 1t is gratifying to
see that while such men as Proctor is
winning more than local recognition our
business establishments like that at
HYDE Park are coming to be in import
ance among the foremost in the world.
The magnificent success of the enterprise
demonstrates that honest skill and push
will dignity any honest enterprise.

DEAD TO THE WORLD.
Santiago Gets Mail ozhy About
Twice Montl

Santiago de Cuba, Se1ss s5-Arrange-
ments have been completed for the
formation of a force of Cuban mounted
police for the province of Santiago. It
consists of a. command, with the rank
of major, three captains, six lieutenants,
ten sergeants and 240 enlisted men, The
rates of pay for the enlisted men are
the same as in the United States army,
while the officers get tWo-thirds
General Castillo has charge of the
preliminaries of the appointments. He
must select capable men who have only
served in the Cuban army, and the Of
ficers must have held similar or high
er rank in the Cuban army.
This police force Will have large
territory to cover and it is expected
that as soon as the Cuban troops dis
band the lawless element will break
loose and will have to be kept in check
Even at present quantities of cattle are
stolen and complaints are frequent to
General Wood and General Castillo, and
they are determined to put an end to
this state of affairs.
The Cubans are beginning to under
stand that the sudden change they
wanted after the surrender would have
caused disorder and confusion, while
now every day a number of Cubans are
appointed to positions OF power ana
eTnolument The United States collector
of customs here, Mr.. Donaldson, has
requested General LaWtOn to appoint
United States consulS at Guantanamo,
Santiago and ManzanillO. The treasury
department at washington seemingly
considers that the island of Cuba is
foreign territory and requires oaths
before consuIs in the transaction OF
shipping and other business.
DR.. Zimmerman, a Lutheran preach
er, is an applicant for the position of
United States consul at Santiago. He
also proposes to preach on Sundays:
Captain Bardy, of the signal service,
is endeavoring to arrange with the Gu
ban Marine Gable company for a cour-
tesy similar to the one extended by the
British West Indies Gable company-a

AS matters now stand Santiago is
dead to the world so far as news is
concerned, the present mail service be
ing extremely limited and letters reach

A QUICK MEAL.
at Luncheon Lasting 15
Minutes.

Paris, Sept. 30-The breakfast at
which the two peace commissions met
for the first time was a purely formal
affair, given by NJ. DelcaSSe in his
private apartments at the foreign office.
The Spanish commissioners arrived
first, accompanied by the Spanish am
bssadOr here, SenOr Leon Y Castillo,
and the secretary Of the Spanish en-
bassy. The United States ambassador,
General Horace Porter, and Henri
Vinaud, the secretary Of the United
States embassy, arrived at the foreign
Office before the American commission
ers and awaited them there. The
American party arrived on the stroke
of 1880, the hour fixed, and the rap
ping of a halberd by a dOorkeeper on
the marble floor announced the arrival
of the Americans, who were received
in e private salon near NJ. DelcaSse's
official quarters. The minister greeted
each American in turn and then pre-
sented them to the premier, NJ. Brisson.
simultaneously SenOr Castillo stepped
forward to greet General Porter, where
upon the two groups moved together
and intrOductiOns to each other were
effected by NJ. Delcasse. After Senor
Castillo and General Porter had a brief
chat the party repaired to the breakfast
room, where NJ. DelcaSSe presided IN
the center of a long table On his right
were General Porter and Senator Gray,
with Spanish commissioner between
them. On the left of NJ. Delcasse was
the president of the Spanish commits
sion, Senor Montero Rios, with Senator
Davis next to him and a Spanish COM
missioner on the left of the senator.
On the opposite sde, facing NJ. Del
casse, was NJ. Brisson. On his right
were Senior Leon Castillo, Senator
Frye and a Spanish commissioner. On
the left of the Premier were Judge Day,
president of the American commission,
a Spanish commissioner, and Mr. White
law Reid.
Beyond these. on either side, were the
secretaries of the United States and
SnaniG6 nT0 ba SSipS here and the French
foreign office officials. The breakfast,
or luncheon, as 1t will be termed in the
United States, occupied eighteen min
utes. Coffee and cigars were served in
sn adjoining apartment and after half
an hours further chatting the party
broke up beth commissions leaving

Old Rumor About the Maple Leaf
Has Been Revived.

-Leavenworth. Sept. 3O.-The old story
that the Maple Leaf would buy the Leav-
enworth, Topeka and Southwestern has
been revived again. 1t is not known
where the story originated, and the Off
Gals of the Maple Leaf and Santa Fe
here profess to know nothing of the deal.
The Southwestern would give the Maple
Leaf a connection to Topeka and the
some connections in this section of the
state and it would benefit Topeka by Civ
ing that city a through line to St. Paul.
The Southwestern will be sold in a short
time and it may be that the Maple Leaf
will be a bidder. The road was an ele-
phant on the hands of the Union Pacific
when that road operated it. and before
IT'S hye years were up the Union Pacific
abandoned it. There are now several
