1t is again our pleasure to report
progress for our pleasant and goa
head little village. For over two
years we have had in operation an
electric plant that has afforded light
and power for the business and upper
portion of the village. For this we
have been indebted to the pluck and
energy Of G, B. Alexander. While
it goes without saying that in this re-
spect SO Londonderry has been way
ahead Of places of its size, a portion
Of our cltzens have been deprived OF
the privileges of this plant owing to
the extreme length of the village
nearly a mie-from the fact that Mr..
Alexander put in, it being an exper-
iment, only 250 lamp dynamo, ard
it was found, after lighting the upper
portion of the village that there was
not power enough to run a long line,
that would be required, down Main
street Mr.. Alexander has now pur-
chased 500 lamp dynamo and a
mile of wire and within the next two
weeks the line will be extended, from
its present terminus on Main street,
a half mile. This will also afford a
chance to run cross wires to River
street and will give about all villagers
a chance to use this unequaled light.
Long live Alexander.

A Wish.

A Wish.
Blame once attached to men who
spoke
So frequently and at such length.
For verbiage is too oft the cloak
OF weakness rather than Of
strength.
But since the noise Of battle shook
The sphere we tenant, through and
through,
And sorrows rose where'er we'd look,
Apologies are surely due.
Oh, gentle, filibustering sprite,
No more your dullness you rehearse.
We once regarded you with fright,
We not confess things might be
worse.
So, patriot men of north ana south,
While chasing Spain and watching
France,
Make haste to close the cannon's
mouth
And give the orators a chance.

NO REVISION OF
 THE TARIFF RATES The War Tax Will Not Be
 Abolished.
  WILL CONTINUE IN FORCE Without Material Change for at Least a Year Longer-congressman 5. : ---~ Dingley Forecasts Work :.
 of Next House. 
WILL CONTINUE IN FORCE

Washington, November 15.-The Washing ton Post states that the war tax will not be abolished at the coming short session of F congress, and that there will be no revis- ion of the tariff whatever. It bases this announcement upon the positive statement made today by Chairman Dingley of the ways and means committee. who in an in- tervfew said:
 s''The government will need for some time all the revenue produced by the war taxes. During the month of October the war expenditures exceeded the war reve- nue receipts some $14, 000 600, and this month they will be $1OOOOOOO in excess. This be- ing the case, there will be no changes, at least this fiscal year. The war revenue act will continue in force and unchanged, ex- cept perhaps in a few minor administrative features, for at least year longer.
 ."It is hardly necessary to ada contin- ued Mr. Dfngley, "that there will be no revision of the tariff although have seen some statements to the effect that such a revision is contemplated.
 ''The session is limited to three months, and that short period will be mainly occu- pied in passing the appropriation bills, in enactng new laws for the regular army and in deciding upon the leg station neces- sary for Hawaii. Among the important matters the usual number of routine mat ters will arise From the present outlook the session will be well under way before the treaty of peace with Spain will be laid before the senate, and the ratification of that document may not be accomplished long before the 4th of March arrives" e
 ''Wfll that .necessitate an extra session?'
 "It is of course impossible" said MT. Dingley, "to know what will arise be- tween the 1st of December and the 4th of March. but so far as the present outlook can form basis for judgment I should say that no extra session will be necessary or desirable unless some new question should arise. In the first place, we shall not know until the treaty of reace has been ratified what new possessions we are to have and what legislation is necessary, and even then we will be in no position to act intel ligently."

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
Writ of Habeas Corpus Denied John
 Anderson by Supreme Court.

| Washington. November 14-The United States supreme court today affirmed the judgment of the lower court and denied a
 writ of habeas corpus to John Anderson,
 convicted and sentenced to be hanged after
 a trial in Norfolk, Va, for the murder of
 the mate of the Olive Pecker. Chief Jus
 tice Fuller, in announcing the decision,
 held that Anderson had not been den'ed
 a constitutional right in not having coun-
 sel of his own choice at the trial. The
 court adjourned for two weeks, and when it
 reassembles will announce the bankruptcy
 rule.
 The Anderson case has attracted wide
 spread attention, being sea tragedy of
 singular romance and atrocity. The schoon-
 CT Olive Peeker sailed from Boston laden
 with lumber for a point on the river Platte,
 Brazil. When 150 miles off the coast of
 Brazil Anderson, a Swede, had an alterca-
 ton with the captain. When the latter re-
 tired to the cabin Anderson followed and
 shot the captain dead. Then he armed himself heavily and went on deck, where, mounted on the forecastle, he terrorized all on board.
 The mate, who was aloft, was called down, and while pleading for his life was shot four times. Then the crew was or dered to throw the dying mate overheard while protesting that he was not dead enough. This done, the crew were marched below at the point of pistol and ordered to throw the captain overheard. Then An derson directed that oil be thrown over the lumber, after which the oil-soaked ship was set afre and the crew took to the boats Anderson was apprehended at Rahia Brazil, and sent north on the United States gunboat Lancaster He was tried and con- vlcted in the United States court at Nor folk and a stubborn fight was made up to the United States supreme court the con- viction being confirmed.
 The effect of the courts decision will be to have the execution. which had been stayed until December 9 next. carried out Ane chief justice announced that the court would take a recess until the 18th instant | at which time 1t was hoped the rules in bankruptcy procedure would be announced.

PRISONER ESCAPED.
Private Austin, Who Was Courtmar-
 tial, Gains His Liberty.

Santiago, November H.-Private Austin of the Eighth Illinois, colored, who was recently court martialed for a murderous assault on a corporal of the regiment and sentenced to three years imprisonment was released a few days ago from the city jail by the warden, who mistook him for another man. All efforts to recapture him have proved futile. It is believed he has reached the northern part of the island.
 The chamber of commerce has requested General Wood to turn over to it's treasurer all money received taxes on shipping. for harbor improvements. proposing to un- dertake the future collections and to take charge of the harbor work without govern ment supervision. It is not probable that General Wood will aeeede to this request. and he will undoubtedly retain the veto himself at any rate.
 There is great deal of complaint about the methods of an American Express conn pany having local office here. The asser- tion is made that the company's agents ac- cept express matter in the United States for delivery, but do not deliver it.

COURT OF CESSATION.
Generals Zurlinden and Chanoine Cues toned in Regard to Dreyfus Case.

Paris, November A.--The court of cassa- tion today examined General Zurlinden and General Chanoine, who recently. resigned successively the portfolio of minister of war. and it is said that their evidence was highly important in upholding the attitude they have taken throughout that Dreyfus is guilty and that communition of the Petit dossier would compromise the safety of the state and the good relations of France with foreign nations.
 General zurlinden, now military governor of Paris, has decided, 1t is reported, to send Lieutenant-ColonelP Picquart before court martial on the charge of having communi- cated to his council, NJ.
