Vermont has especial reason to re-
ioice over the great Manila victory.
Commodore Dewey. commander of the
American fleet, whose name will 90 on
record with that of Decatur, Perry and
Farragut, is Vermonter. His broth
ers, Charles and Edward, are well
known residents of Montpelier. Com
modore Dewey is about 60 years of age
and saw service in the Rebellion. His
triumph shows that the confidence felt
in his ability was not misplaced.
Another Vermonter prominent in the
battle was Lieut.. Commander G. p.
Colvocofresses of the cruiser Concord.
The antecedents of this man are inter-
esting. His father was Greek refu-
gee who was picked up in the streets
OF Boston away back in the 20's by
Capt. Alden Partridge. founder OF Nor
witch University and by him reared
and educated. The father went into
the navy and was captain of the L. s.
store ship supply duringthe Rebellion,
his son, the present officer of the Con-
cord, then only u years of age, serv-
ing as his clerk. Young Colvocorresses
has passed his whole lifetime in the
navy. These two yermontcrs have
given good account of themselves.
We have two others. Capt. Clark of
the battleship Oregon and Capt. Con-
verse of the cruiser Montgomery yet to

ficers. As usual Vermont is distinctly

Vermont Military Matters.

Unless we are m istaken, the special
legislative session which assemblies to-
day at Montpelier Is likely to prove
something else than love-feast.
1t is easy enough to read the ''slate''
that has been prepared by the high and
mighty. The legislature is expected
to whoop things up, make great ex-
hibition Of loyalty and patriotism and
pretty much forget what it came to-
gether to do, contenting itself with
passing huge appropriation, most of
which is to pay the Vermont volnn-
teers an additional 81 month while
in service. This is the program laid
out by the ministry 1t may carry
easily, and then again it may expert
ence a little difficulty.
Some people are little puzzled and
dazed at the recent rush of events. To
begin with, the President called for
125, 900 volunteers, to be apportioned
among the states according to popula-
ton. Vermont's proportion would
have been 654 men. or just about the
size of her military organization on
peace footing. Inasmuch as the war
footing OF each military company is
100 men instead of 81, it was seen that
if Vermont furnished only 654 men she
would provide less than twelve COM
panies. The companies would have to

And cast a murky shade around;

And peal on peal the bolts resound.
Since Appomattox closed the strife
Wherein our fathers fought and fell
An army, then unborn, has risen
But we who lived remember well.

OF wars alarm and deeds OF woe;
But welcomes not that visage stern
Presaeing carnage, blow on blow.

"0ld glory' waves as long before

That echoes now from shore to shore.

An infant sister state is born.

To feed the child from Plenty's horn.

THE CENTRAL VERMONT.
Reorganization Committee Issues ar
Interesting Circular.

Interesting Circular.
Messrs. Ezra II. Baker, Edward F.
Disco, Henry B. Day and Samuel E.
Kilner, representing the original Gen.
trail Vermont Reorganization commits
tee, so called, has issued an interesting
circular to the holders Of the Consoli-
dated Railroad Vermont 5 per cent
mortgage bond certificates, explana-
tory of the present status of the road 8
affairs. They say:
The plan OF reorganization of the
Central Vermont Railroad system, APP
proved by the majority Of the certifi-
cate holders October IL, 1897, provid-
ed for the issuing Of new bond and
mortgage to bear date Februry 1888.
The foreclosure of the second mort
gage is essential to the reorganization.
November 20, 1897, the American
Loan and Trust company filed fore
closure bill. The foreclosure of this
mortgage is being resisted by the Gen.
trail Vermont Railroad company I'M
der the control OF its old manage
ment. Only technical objections, re-
lating to the form of procedure, have
been raised.
Precisely the same opposition has
been made to the foreclosure of the
mortgage supporting your bonds.
With these technical questions out OF
the way--as they must be soon-the
bondholders will be entitled to sale
OF the property, followed by a reor-
ganization in accordance with the
agreement.
Meanwhile, as has been already an
nounced, provision for the payment of
the interest on the new bonds has
been made for the current year.
The report of the receivers earn
ings, operating expenses and fixed
charges from the time of their APP
pointment, March 20, 1896, TO De-
cember 81, 1897, shows net earnings
OF S6l5,356, after payment OF oper-
ating expenses, taxes and rentals, and
after charging to operating expenses
repairs or improvements amounting
to 1921, 1919. The net earnings in
round numbers of 100000 have been
in the payment of interest
upon the bonds you hold, interest and
installments falling due upon equip
ment bonds, interest to holders Of
floating debt holding collateral, and to
the payment OF preference claims as
follows: $4,000 July l, 1896, to the |
first mortgage bondholders, about
300, 900 to the trustee for the equip
ment bondholders, about $4,000 to |
The collateral note holders and about
s30, 900 to preference claims for labor,
and supplies.
No receivers certificates have been
issued, and there is no receivership
1ebt except for current supplies and
equipment, and this is inconsiderable.
The delay in the foreclosure proceed
ng and consequently of the reorgan-
zation, does not, therefore, jeopardize
your interests.
The l per cent interest due May l,
IN the proposed new first mortgage A
per cent and Series A per cent
bonds, will be paid to those accepting
he offer of the Grand Trunk Rail-
way company.

The fact that nearly or quite all OF
the European nations with the excep-
ton of Great Britain sympathize with
Spain in this crisis rather than with
the United States is not a cause for
wonderment. Governments that could
sit by and see the Turks massacre the
Armenians with scarcely protest and
that could lend their moral, even ma
terial, aid to the sultan in his invasion
of plucky little Greece could not be ex-
pected to sympathize with the effort of
this nation to remove the Spanish
clutch on the throat of Cuba. Furth-
ermore, they are all engaged in the
business of "colonizing," which Is a
polite term for conquering, and they
do not like the idea of a European gov
ernment being forced out of such pos
sessions. Beyond all this is jealousy
and distrust of a growing and prosper
GUS nation like ours. England's friend
ship for us is in part due to kinship
and in part to her hope that she may
be able in some future time to make us
draw her chesmuts put of the fire.
