An Omcial Note Issued.
MADRID, April 1.-The opinion Is
expressed from an authoritative
source that IL is believed that an
Of Spain and the United States has
been reached, including the Maine
and the rcconcentrados questions and
also a means OF arriving at a durable
peace in Cuba.
It is also said that the government
and Captain General Blanco nre in
accord with the peninsular govern
ment to assist in this work Of peace.
Those who are best informed hero
belle We peace is assured unless Prcsi-
dent McKinley's hands arc forced,
making him depart from the calm ut
titude he has assumed throughout the
crisis. It is further semi-oflicially as.
serted that the Spanish government,
"bclieving they correctly interpret
the sentiment OF justice and the lofty
aims" Of the President. assert that
thing necessary to preserve peace
without other limits than national dig
nifty and territorial integrity"
These views are the substances OF IN

The Two Cent Mileage Law.

The State board of railroad COM
missioners held a meeting in Burling-
ton last Friday, at which the ques-
ton of the new law relating to the
selling of mileages at the rate of two
cents per mile was discussed. The
meeting of the board was called to
consider the fact which had been
brought to the attention of hechair-
man of the commissioners of the re-
ported intention of the st. Johnsbury
and Lake Champlain railroad to not
comply with the provisions OF the
law providing for two cent mileage
books. After a consideration of the
matter it was agreed to hold a meet
ing at st. Johnsbury on Dec. 10 at 4
O'Clock for q hearing, at which the
matter should be carefully considered
and both sides of the question heard.
The st. j. & L. c. has not put the
two cent mileages on sale and it is
understood that their intention is to
contest the right of the Legislature
to enact and enforce the law relating
to the books. 1t is claimed that the
road cannot sell the books at this
price and pay the interest upon their
indebtedness in bonds.
Senator Stearns, who has been very
active in getting the newlaw through
the Senate, informs us that an effort
is to be made to have a public hear
ing at Hyde Park. This it seems to
us will be much better than going to
st. Johnsbury. The people along
the line of the st. j. & l.. c. are those
that are interested and convenient
place should be selected for the hear
ing.

LamoilIe County Court.

The first state case trial was that
of State VS.. Richard Moiles of Hyde
Park. This case was tried in justice
court and was appealed. 1t was for
an assault by Moiles upon Norton
Jones. The Jury brought in YER
diet of guilty. Moiles was fined $40
and costs. Sawyer for MOiles.
The case of State VS.. Leslie j. Fox
came next. A full report of this is
given elsewhere. This completed the
Jury cases and on Saturday they
were discharged.
The Grand Jury came in Saturday
and reported that they had found no
true bills. States Attorney Thomp-
son and the Grand Jury are worthy
of commentator for this action, as
they save the state large expense
by declining to take up cases which
are of insufficient evidence.
In case of Nye VS.. Nye, under the
statute for failure of support was
heard by the court Saturday
and Monday. This case was of
peculiar nature and the first one
that ever appeared in this county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nye are two of Cam
bridges respected citizens, man and
wife, with one son, 20 years of age.
They never had any domestic trouble
that either held the other responsible
for. Years ago Mr.. Nye showed
symptoms of insanity, and Mrs.
Nye, an intelligent worthy wife and
mother, continued to live with Mr..
Nye until about two years ago, when
she deemed 1t prudent to and for her
personal safety to live apart, and
she asked under the statue protec-
ton and means of support. After
hearing the evidence in support Of
the petition, Judge Thompson sus-
tanned the motion of the counsel for
Mr.. Nye that the petitioner had not
made a case and dismissed the Pc
tition. Judge Thompson said it was
one of the hardest cases he had ever
sat upon, and with many regrets
that condition should arise de-
handing so much expense and feel
ing, gave the parties good counsel
and the end came. Hendee, HUI

sent the Philippines several tons of

to the best information at hand the
Spaniards have never realized the
agricultural possibilities ofthe island.

vegetables and plants that are indig-
enous to the soil and have tried no
experiments. A little Yankee enter
prise in this direction will undoubt-

Work of the Fish Hatchery.

The management of the State Fish
Hatchery, having come out of the
biennial tussle with the representa-
tives of the people with a loss Of only
two thousand dollars of the asked-for
appropriation, should now take up
with suggestions of certain devotees
of the anglers art and plan for the
securing of definite results by the dis
tributiOns of less fry and more finger
lings. The latter are generally far
enough along toward their "maior-
ity" to look out for themselves as
against larger and hungryassociates;
whereas the small fry stand an excel
lent chance of being devoured early
in the game. If the lingering meth
cd will operate more speedily and
demonstrate the usefulness of the
hatchery in repleting the streams OF
the State, by all means train up fry
until they are tingerlings, and then
ELL up the brooks and ponds with
them. -MOntpelier Record.
