race as much on her workmanship as
anything else, and the first thing that
was apparent was the feathering of

of the oar blades is very strong, and
Cornell carried her feather way throgh

army under the command of General
Shafter has reached the Cuban shore
and it is supposed to have landed un-
der protection of the guns of the war

Baiquiri short distance from Santa

Santiago must soon fall and with the
surrender of that city the Spanish
fleet must surrender or go out and
risk battle with SIMPSONS blockad-
ing vessels, which would result in the
overwhelming defeat of Admiral Ger
vera's squadron. At Manila the sit
uation is unchanged as far as we can
learn. The army of the Insurgents
surrounds the city and is only held in
check by Admiral Dewey It is ex-
pected that the American troops will

General Grout was nominated to
succeed himself as representative
from the Second District at the con-
vention held in Montpelier last week
by a handsome majority. Although
there was hard fight to defeat him the
result was at no time in doubt. The

Congress:

of men, and then in retaining them
long in the public service.

WAR REVENUE.

The war revenue which was agreed
to in a conference of the two houses
became a law by the signature of
| President Mckinley.
Among the internal revenue taxes
| imposed by the bill are an increase of
the tax on beer, ale, etc, to So bar
| rel; tax Of $50 on bankers and brok-
ers; $100 on theatres, circuses, etc;
$6 on bowling alleys and billiard tables;
12 cents per pound on tobacco and
snuff; $500 and 81 per thousand on
| cigars and cigarettes respectively ac-
cording to weight; from $12 to $24 on
retail cigars dealers; one cent each on
telephone and telegraph messages;
ten cents on each life insurance policy;
one fourth Of one per cent on corpor-
ations refining sugar or petroleum;
one cent oA the sale of each sleeping
berth or parlor car seat; 25 cents on
each mortgage and lease, and four
cents on every dollars worth of chew
ing gum.
Stamps are provided for bonds,
certificates Of stocks, bank checks,
promissory notes, bills of exchange,
bills of landing, ETC., etc.
An import duty Of 10 cents per
pound is levied on tea.
The coinage of not less than one
and one-half million silver dollars per
month from the silver bullion in the
treasury is directed; such silver dol
lars to be applied as provided by the
act of July IA, 1860.
A tax on legacies exceeding
$1O,O 900 on all personal property is pro-
vided. Special taxes, scheduled ac-
cording to the value of the articles or
packages, are provided for patent
medicines, perfumery, cosmetics, and
the like.
Bonds to be offered at par as pop
ular loan are authorized. The amount
must not exceed $4O0, 100000. They
will be redeemable in coin at the
pleasure Of the United States after 10
years from date of issue, and payable
20 years from such date, and bear in
terest payable quarterly in coin at the
rate of three per cent per annum.
The legacy and tea taxes took effect
when the bill was passed. The stamp
and other taxes will be applied July 1.
The bill is not framed upon any
economic theory or principle, except
that of obtaining the largest feasible
income for the prosecution of the
war.
1t will be a strange experience at first
to find tax imposed whichever way
one turns, but we shall gradually be-
come nsed to it and make the best of
it because it is a necessity of war.
Immediately after the signing of the
bill by the President the secre tary of
the treasury issued circular inviting
subscriptions for 5000, 100000 of three
per cent bonds which will be offered
as a popular loan to the people direct
in sums Of $50, 800, $500 and up to So
900 and $4,000. The bonds will be
dated Aug. 1, 1898. They will be due
and payable in 20 years, but the gov
ernment may pay them in ten years
at it's option.

Cornell won Thursday the prettiest
and closest race that New London has
seen for some years in % minutes and
4S seconds, time that under the con-
ditions, rough water, half head wind
and little tide was fast. Yale gave
her close race, but Harvard was not
in it much after the start, although
she rowed her usual plucky stern race.
All three crews started we'll, and for
a while it was nip and tuck between
Yale and Cornell, the former slightly
behind. The Cornell boat spurted to
get the lead and at the mile she had
the race in hand. Briggs showed
wonderful generalship, squirting when
ever he saw Yale drawing up at all.
The difference between fhe strokes
was very much better marked as all
three were were rowing together than
it mas been in practice, and the reasons
for victory and what caused the de-
feat of Harvard and Yale were appar-
ent.

establishes Courtney's right to the
first place as coach, for Cook had
openly stated that his crew was the
best he ever turned out. In the first

The publication Of the statement that
Germany proposes to land marines at
Manila in order to set up claim to
joint occupation, and thus prevent
the United States from securing undis-
puted possession of the Philippine
islands, was denied with great haste
and with no little emphasis by the
German ambassador, who fastened
to the state department to confer
with Sec. Day.
He made the most positive asser-
tions that there was no intention on
the part of Germany to interfere in
any degree'with the operations of the
United States in the Philippine islands,
ana before the conference was con-
cluded an understanding had been
reached whereby Germany is to land
marines if necessary to protect the
German consulate at Manila, but this
landing will be with the full knowl
edge and consent of this govern
ment.'
AS stated in these dispatches it is
difficult to believe that the emperor,
ambitions as he may be to secure a
footho1d in the east, will be imprudent
enough ito deliberately insult this
country and bring on war between
it and Germany.

The Insurgents in both Cuba and the
Philippines will be likely to render
efficientsaid to the American armies
and their rfamilarity with the country
will enable. them to serve as scouts to
much better advantage than Amer

in the present condition of affairs on

New York, Nov. 3.-Pront-taking was
Che order on the stock exchange to-day.
Some attempt vas made to resist the de-
clining tendency. but the persistent SELL
ing to realize discouraged the effort and
support was finally withdrawn through
out the list. Yesterdays strong demand
for London account fell on to-day. as II
was generally supposed II would when the
effect Of his buying in sterling exchange
was remarked. The approach Of exchange
20 the gold import point resulted in an
advance in the private discount rate in
London again to-day and this caused a
rise in London exchange at Berlin. which
continues to be the real center of the
pressing need Of money.
London ceased to buy Americans under
the stress OF this threatening condition in
the exchange market. Nevertheless, the
stock market showed advances at the
opening here and was sustained by heavy
buying Of the grangers OF the Burlington
statement. 1t was evident. however. that
a part of the recent buying of %grangers
was In anticipation of this statement. and
the same was evidently true of Union
Pacific. which. with a large increase in
gross earnings and a reduction In operat-
Eng expenses. showed an addition to the
surplus of s307. s91. The publication of
these statements was therefore met with
heavy realizing in Southern Pacific and
q lumber of specialties. including an ex-
treme rise of 81 points in Sugar. and an
upward movement also of some of the
iow-priced stocks remote from any divi-
dend chances. But these were insufficient
"a counteract the general ten
dency. which finally prevailed and made
the closing of the week at the lowest
prices generally for the day. Edison IL
Eliminating of New York made a conspic-
uous advance of IA points to 165.
There was strength in a few places In
the bond market. but the general ten
dency of prices was downward I'm SYM
pathy with stocks. Total sales. 81 .105.0 900.
U. s. 2s advanced u per cent. and the

Produce.

Chicago. Nov. 29.-The immediate OPEN
ing In wheat was rather dull, May start
ing at a decline of nc and December hd
&C lower. Liverpool failed to respond to
yesterdays advance here and Northwest
receipts were very heavy. That CAV the
market an easy opening. Reports that a
heavy snowstorm prevailed In the Da-
kotas, suggesting a consequent decrease
in receipts, were apparently the reasons
for a brief advance. Then followed a pc
riod of depression which lasted until
about II o'clock. After this the market
became firmer. Closing cables, notably
from Paris. showed strength and seaboard
reports were excellent. Strength in corn
also helped to create the demand. May de-
clined to and closed at e5HGe6c.
Corn. though having periods of depres-
sion. was in the main firm. Prices adj
vanced during the morning but the ad-
vantage was lost when wheat weakened.
May closed unchanged.
Oats followed corn very closely. There
was only a fair business transacted. The
closing was unchanged.
Provisions were dull but firm In the face
of heavy receipts Of hogs. Room traders
as a rule were bullish. Shorts took ad-
vantage of the natural business to cover,
and there was also some buying for the
long account. Packe were moderate SELL
ers. There was some depression near the
end on account of the declines In grain.
At the close January pork was sc higher
at s.. OH: January lard. 2xc higher at
$.s7h. and January ribs 21xc higher at
$4.57ls.
