Clement family Of Rutland obtained a
controlling interest in tn, corporation and
ousted tho rage management, after pro-
longcd litigation.
In 1SSS President y. w. Clement sold a
maiorty of the stock of the Rutland rail-
road to the Delaware and Hudson Canal
company, at "A handsome figure. After
the sale Of the stock was effected ncEo-
tiations were opened for a lease in per.
petuity Of the Rutland railroad to the
Central Vermont. It was reported that
the Delaware and Hudson submitted n
proposition to the Central for lease of
the Rutland road for rental of some
considered this figure n higher one than
they could afford to pay. In June, 1870,
it was stated that the directors of the
Rutland and Delaware and Hudson com
panies held a meeting in New York city
and effected lease of the former road
to the latter, but it is supposed that the
capture by the Fitchburg of the Cheshire
road, with which the Delaware and iIud.
son hoped to make working connections,
made the operation Of the Rutland road u
secondary matter with the Delaware and
Hudson people.
ON Jan. !. 1891. the Central Vermont re-
newed its lease OF the Rutland road for "A
period of 900 years. by the terms of the
lease tho lessces were to pay an dnnual
company to furnish Sj00,poo ut per cent
interest for improvements and additions
tc rolling stock. The Central Vermont
had the option Of purchasing at any time
u controlling interest in the stock of the
Rutland ana thereby becoming the actual
owners of The line. hut this was neN or
taken advantage of. Tho Central Ncr-
mont passed into the hands of its pres
ent rec ceivcrs, Il. G. Smith and G. NJ.
Hays. March 30 1896, and inasmuch as the
Rutland had rot proved profitable in-
vestment being parallel lire the re-
ceivcrs decided to release the road. The
order providing for the transfer was sien-
I'd by Judge II. II. Wheeler of the United
States Court on May 6, 1896, President
Clement took possession Of he road the
following day at midnight.
Since President Clement began the OPP
Grafton Of the Rutland he has been able to
make the road pay small dividends in
spite of the period of business and tiran-
cial stringengy. 1t was through his aC-
tive cndelvors that preliminary surveys
were made for the extension of the Rut-
land northward to connect with the Can
ada Atlantic ard OSdcnsburg and Lake
Champlain and the project would un-
doubtedly have been carried out If he had
been able to secure the consent of the
Delaware and Hudson interests in the
line. TIE management of the Delaware
and Hudson thought 1t would not be good
policy. in all probability, to build another
line on this side of Lake Chgmplain in adj
dition to their road on the New ! orl
shore and :he Champlain Transp 1rtation
company's three boats, which they con-
troll. but now that the Rutland road has
passed into new hands with Or. Webb as
leading owner the extension will un-
doubtcdly ne built. especially as he has
important railroad interests in northern
New York with which to connect.

THE PHILIPPINE CUES TION
Germany, France and Russia Agreed
Upon a Course of ActiOn-TO Take No
Steps Until After the War.

Berlin, July 2.-On the best author
ity, the correspondent here of the AS
ISOLATED Press is informed that Ger
many, France, and Russia have reach
ed an understanding relative to the
Philippine Islands. It is said these
three powers do not intend to actively
interfere until hostilities cease, after
which they will combine to prevent
the United States Or Great Britain
gaining possession of the whole of the
Philippine Islands. When the war is
over, an international congress will be
proposed, similar to the Berlin con-
gress of 1878, to settle all questions
connected with war. All the great
powers will be invited to join, includ-
ing the United States and Spain. 1t
appears certain that Germany will
then demand a slice of the Philippine
islands or other compensation in the
far east. /.
The correspondent of the Associat-
ed Press has received confederation Of
the above facts from authentic sources.
The same authority says Germany
is doing a thriving trade in provisions
and especially peas, beans and canned
goods, and in ammunition and small
arms, though Hamburg commission
merchants, who are selling both to
Spain and the United States. The lat
ter, it appears, is buying quantities Of
the potassium used for saltpetre from
the big Germany alkali works. All
these goods, it is asserted, are shipped
from Copenhagen, mainly by the
Thingvala Line.
The German government has order
ed that three cruisers be kept in West
Indian waters until the autumn.
In spite OF the war, the German ex-
ports to America are as large as ever.
The Frankfort district exported last
quarter 6,3S1,874 marks. Similar re-
ports come from other districts.

IMPORTANT IMPORTATION
Urgency Regulations Issued by Inter
al Revenue Department.

The following circular has beer is
sued b. the commissioners OF internal
revenue
Washington. d. c. June ., 1885.
To All Collectors:
Tax payers are importuning this Of
flee To know What they shall do on
the morning Of the list OF July, IL they
have not been able To procure the adj
heSive stamps necessary for the trans
action OF business.
In reply, attention is called 10 the
last three lines OF pag s and the
first three lines on page 3 of the war
revenue law OF 1898, which reads as
follows:
And provide further. That In all
cases where the party has not affixed
the stamp required by law upon any
such instrument issued, registered,
sold. or transferred. at a time when
and at a place where no collection
district was established, IL shall be
lawful for him or them, or any party
having an interest therein. 10 afIix the
proper stamp thereto"
The language, where no collection
district was established" is construed
and held to be the same as If il read.
where no stamp deputyship or agen-
Cy was established" and where. for
that reason, ii was impossible To pro-
cure the stamps, and where the failure
to afTiX them was not due to any
wilful design to dcfraud the United
States, or to evade or delay payment
thereof. the tax aye may in such
cases be relieved by the collector from
the payment Of the penalty.
II is held that the law does not re-
Guire impossible things TO be done,
and when. for the reason above given.
1t was not possible to procure the
stamps, it was not insisted that bust
ness shall stop and vendors shall by
reason thereof withhold goods from
the market, but that Legitimate bust
ness may be transacted and the
stamps required on goods disposed Of
under such circumstances may be
affixed by the owners. thereof, or par
ties interested therein. and in cases
or consumption the retail vendor shall
make sworn return OF the facts 10 the
collector in internal revenue. who
shall assess the amount Of tax due
and collect the same under the rules
and regulations provided under the
law.
The tax payers are a~dnouishcd that
this urgency regulation does not IN
any way eXcus" them from the duties
imposed upon them by the statute
with reference t. procuring stamps for
all instruments and things required
to be stamped under Schedules A and
b of the war revenue law of 1895. and

your command. AS the daughter Of a
Virginia father and the sister of a con-
federate soldier, 1 had from the time
Of your return, and when you received

trained for justice, and whose every
breach made will be an opening for
mercy and right to enter. Should the
occasion come. I would be gratified if
you would by word or look say. On

Yours very respectfully,
