Vermonters represent the purest OF
New England lineage. and inherit the
true New England characteristics,
They are genuine descendants of the
men who fought under Cromwell, and
of the blood and stock which, with
peaceful inclinations, has ever been
strong to battle for great ideas and
great rights. They are an organic
ing, positive, constructive force, state
builders, wherever they go, but with
all their unitarian temperament their
love for the old home never grows
cold.
1t is difficult to account for the low
atty and devotion of born Vermonters
to their native state. The full reasons
cannot be catalogued or specified.

Pres. Buckham of the University of
Vermont made the wittiest speech Of
the evening, beginning with the an
nouncement that he was glad not to
be Vermonter, as he would thus be
able TO say certain things about the
state and its people which natives
would be too modest 10 say, Vermont

modest in the world, save Bostonians.
He kept up a running fire Of play
full satire for some time, and it was
fully appreciated and continually in
terrupted by shouts of laughter.
He spoke serious words also, howev-

The first of the guests introduced
was Mayor Quincy, who, after ex-
tending municipal greetings to the
visitors from over the border, dwelt
with approval upon what he termed
the habit " hich cities have of going To
the country TO get men of the charac-
ter required for high and responsible
positions. He expressed the belief
that country training is necessary to
produce the kind of character needed
or eminent careers in municipal life.
Referring TO Vermont's reputation
as conservative state, he said that
democrats hereabouts sometimes think
there is a little too much conservatism
up there, but the character formed by
the rugged training and simple living
of Vermont is an element of great
strength in any citv.
Hon. Alanson w. Beard, a former
president of the association, was the
next speaker. lie showed considera-

Gov. Grout was next called upon.
He gave a vivid word picture of some
of the historic experiences of Yer

state the battle ground upon which

Wolfe at Quebec.

Commodore wsntherby Of Troy and Thre,
Guests Lost in the Upper Hudson.

Troy, Oct. 8.-Commodore N. L. Weatherby
and three other persons we're drowned in the
Hudson River last night Mr.. Weatherby was
the Commodore OF the Troy Yacht Club OF this
city and owned pretty little steam yacht. 1t

Spectal Gable Dsspatoh to THE Sun.
PARIS. Oct. 6-The strike among the work
inRmen here threatens to become serious. The
strikers have compelled number Of work. men
to abandon their tasks in many instances
using brutal violence. 1t Is estimated that
10000 men are idle.
The leaders OF the movement are aiming at a
general strike with the object OF affecting IAN
economic revolution which will change the
position OF the workers OF France"
An extension OF the strike to the dock labor
ers at Havre Is feared. but there is no move-
ment there yet. The Courier d,t Soir, the or
gan oil Prime Minister Brisson remarks that
the strike threatens to culminate In riots The
rlngleaders seem to have at their disposal re-
sources which are as m ysterious as they are con-
siderable. 1t is even said that unknown per-
sons nave opened credit OF 2.000. 900 francs to
enable the strike to be pushed to the last ex-
tremity, namely. the point where II will be
necessary for the army to interfere. The
Courier du Soir contnues:I
1t is needless to point out the dangers to
republican institutions which would result. It
would bo the ideal opportunity sought by
thoso WHO uTeam OF appealing to force.
II the strikers are aware Of their true in
terests they will keep within reasonable
limits and not supply the opportunity OF civil
war to some General to carve triumph out of
street massacres. and to make victory the
preface to monarchist restoration"
The foregoing reflects the curious feeling OF
uneasiness respecting the strike. which is re-
marked In many quarters. It seems to be be-
lieved that the strike has some hidden. mys-
terious connection with the Dreyfus affair.
Anyhow. 1t is affordlng too fruitful ground for
the seeds thereof to develop into portentous
events
On the other hand. allowance must be made
Tor the attempts Of certain journals to exae-
gerate and in1ame tho conflict In order to en-
barrnss the Cabinet
1t is certain that when the Chamber meets
Prime Minister Brisson will have to face
strong assaults from many directions. His at
titude on the revision question has displeased
the Presidential party and furiously In
censed the military party. and has opened op-
portunities for Mellne and other anti-revlsIon-
lists, ofwhich they are preparing to fully avail
themselves. The belief grows that the Cabinet
will not survive
