DANGERS THROUGH GALvANIc ACTION.

Owners of yachts will be interested In case that
has Just been fought out in the Italian courts and
involves the question o. damage 10 shipping
through galvanic action. II appears that the Cap
tain OF the Port Of Lcghorn was tho plaintiff in an
action against the owners OF certain wooden
yachts with coppered bottoms. lying in the Oar
sena part OF the harbor Of LeghOrn. TO enforce
notice on the owners for the removal OF such YES
sells from that part Of the harbor. This notice was
made on the ground that the new warships and
other iron and steel vessels lying in that part OF
the harbor damaged by galvanic currents set
up by the copper bottoms Of the wooden yachts,
tho contact with the steel vessels being stated 10 be
"due 10 ropes which made fast 10 dferen:

Tie fact of the damage 20 steel and iron ships
from this proved before the Court. and
with cOppered bottoms from the Darsena part OF
the harbor was subsequently. confirmed by me

On this point French cases have lately been
cited. In which it shown that vessels did not
require actual contact either OF their hulls or
through the electrical connections established by
steel moorng lines and that the water itself vas

SUMMARY OF NEWS.
Vermont.

THE unrestful city of Barre has under
consideration the matter OF changing its
city charter. 1t seems almost remarkable
should be so vacillating
The thirty-ninth annual session OF the
Grand Lodge OF Vermont, /. o. g. T., will
be held in this place October IL and 10.
The officers headquarters will be at the
Northtield House, and the meetings will be
held in Armory hall. 1t is expected that
Past Right Worthy Grand Templar, DIR. ID.
III. Mann, of Brooklyn, N. Y, will be present
and and to the enthusiasm of the occasion.
The spirit OF unrest into which the liquor
traffic in this State has fallen of late has
caused deal OF speculation as to what will
be the result. 1t is alleged that the recent
raids in st. Adams are attributable to the
fact that the hotel and restaurant keepers
have tired Of Tipping" the officers and pur-
pose to contribute to the State for while.
Such proceedings don't argue well for the
State government.
FRIDAY evening at Miles Pond, Vt
Medrici Couters, Frenchman, struck N.
McKelvey on the head with a cant dog at
the lumber mill OF Russell & McKelvey,
killing him instantly. McKelvey was sim
gle, aged twenty-nine years and brother OF
Robert McKelvey OF the lumber firm. The
cause OF the trouble between the men was
undue attention by the victim to Coulter g
wife. 1t is claimed that McKelvey was in.
toxicated, and attacked Couters with q
knife, and that the deed was committed in
selfdefence. Coulter was arrested and his
examination will be held Tuesday.

At the Front.

There has been no declaration more
positive. straightforward, and unequiv-
ocal on the subject of American expan-
sion than is contained in this plank of
the platform of the New York Repub-
licans of 1885,
1--WE realize that when the necessities Of
war compelled our nation to destroy Span
ish authority in the Antilles and in the
Philippines we assumed solemn duties and
obligations alike to the people OF the islands
we conquered and to the civilized world.
We cannot turn these islands back to Spain.
We cannot leave them, unarmed for de-
fence and untried in statecraft, to the hor-
rors OF domestic strife or to partition among
European powers. We have assumed the
responsibilities OF victory, and wherever
our flag has gone there the liberty, human
ity and the civilization which that flag en-
bodies. and represents must remain and
abide forever"
George Dewey himself might have
written this.
The Republican party of the Empire
State stands at the very front of the adj
vance of American sentiment.
1t is a mandate to the administration
at Washington, and to the administers
toms commissioners at Paris-New
York Sun.

THE last issue of the New York Ledge,
contains very interesting article concern
ing the rations furnished the soldiers in the
Spanish-American war. The writer very
justly denominates the "hardtack and cold

and takes the opportunity to place some
smart structures on the government for COM
pelling men to defend the country under
methods that prevailed during the late war,
when the fighters were used to living on
salt pork and johnnycake.
SAMUEL J. ANDREWS in his recent wilt
ings takes dark view of the world and
states in substance that the Antichrist is at
hand. 1t is likely that many of those who
have not made special study of theology
have but vague idea Of what the Anti
christ is ITO the early Christians" says
the author, 'it was OF very definite and
fearful meaning. 1t designated the last and
greatest Of the enemies of God and of his
Christian apostate who would sum up in
himself all wickedness. Endowed by Sc
tan with all his power, he would receive
from him the kingdoms of this world, and
rule over the nations. He would make war
with the saints, and would overcome them,
and reign supreme for little time, but he
himself be destroyed at the coming of the
Lord. Mr.. Andrews writings should be rel
egated to those of the medipvl ages. Most
people are mystified as to whether the An
tichrist term as used in the bible applies to
one or two or more persons and the utter
ances in this line are usually repudiated and
the writer finds fewer admirers OF his effu-
sions than he would have done twenty-five
years ago and there will be still fewer
twenty-five years hence.

John Bright's Prophecy.

Colonel Birch tells in Plattsburg
paper of the following conversation he
had thirty years ago with Colonel Vim
cent Marmaduke, and its application to
present conditions is such that we give
it to the public. Every Missourian
knows that Colonel Marmaduke, like
his brother, was a decided Confederate,
and during the war he was the bearer
of dispatches from Mr.. Davis to Mr..
Mason, who represented the southern
Confederacy in England. Marmaduke
says that one evening Mr.. Mason said
to him:
"Mr. Marmaduke, John Bright is to
make speech tonight in the house of
commons, and / think it would be to
your pleasure and interest to go down
to hear him."
1t will be remembered that at that
day Mr.. Bright was the most conspicu-
GUS figure in England. Marmaduke
went, and during his speech Marina
duke says that Bright stopped, and,
changing his line Of remaks, said, "Mr.
Speaker, if our kinsfolk on the other
side of the Atlantic settle their civil
war satisfactorily and get back together
in peace, in forty years there will not
be gun fired in the world without
their consent"
This statement at that day seemed
preposterous, and no one but a man
with Bright's comprehensive mind
could have dared to make such an as
sertion to go before the world. 1t has
been but thirty-fve years since Mr..
Bright made that statement, and yet
events have happened in the last few
months which give to Mr.. Bright's
words the spirit of prophecy, and no
one would now hesitate to reproduce
it.-Kansas City Journal.
