that the Philadelphia had been de-

unable to leave on the 25th, as antici-

on the 21th, and endeavor to get to
Honolulu in seven days or less. Min
lister Sewal does not look for the
cruiser until Thursday morning.
From another source the trouble
with the Philadelphia was said to be
the blowing out of her condenser
tubes. necessitating two days repairs

when the transports would leave for

vessels would follow later in the day.

QUARTERS TO BE PREPARED FOR
TWO THOUSAND MEN.
\ Prominent United States Army En-
gineer and STAFF VIII Come to Study
the Question.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 23.-Secre-
tary OF war Alger, through Adiutant
General Corbin. is i'm correspondence
with General Merriam regarding bar
racks, officers quarters and army
hospital at Honolulu. The site for
the proposed hospital was purchased
by General Merritt under instructions
from the war department, while in
Honolulu recently en- route to Mani
la. Neither General Merriam nor the
adiutant general has as yet any def
mite notion about the character of the
buildings that ought to be erected.
Adjutant General Corbin has an idea
that barracks aud officers quarters
for about 1900 officers and men should
be built and hospital for the prop
er care of ninety patients at a time.
General Merriam is to make proper
recommendations on the subject. but
will not be able to do so until he pays
a visit to the Islands. BY that time
it is thought the Washington author
tiles will have made up their minds as
to how many troops they will want
permanently stationed at Honolulu.
Owing to an intimation received
from Washington, it will not surprise
the officers i'm the phelan building
headquarters if regiment of eight
companies is organized from among
the Hawaiian troops shortly after the
arrival of the First New York on the
Islands. In that event there will be
enough troops TO form Il small bri
grade, and Colonel Barber of the New
York regiment will be made a brig
der general to command it. Such a
turn of affairs is as matter of tact
expected by Colonel Barber and his
Friends.
. General Merriam has received in
structions from Washington to take
with him to Honolulu when he gets
ready TO start an army engineer
with several assistants to make a re
port upon the best plan of fortifying
Honolulu and its harbor.

The FlambOyant Peck
Was the Meekest of Meek Lambs Before
the Investigating Committee.

- ''' N''N 'hNh' h'ilVl EuS VI wednesday.
The interest of the evening centered Oh
Gen. Peck. He sat in the corner and
twisted his fingers until the committee
had whetted their appetites on the other
witnesses. His face was perfect crimson
| all the evening.
From his classic brow was gone that
naughty air which he has carried so suc.
cesstully for years at many public gather
lngs; gone was also that tone of supreme
authority from his voice that such things
were done per order Gen. Peck" He
was the meekest of meek lambs.
Throughout the whole proceedings Gen.
Peck's ability to remember was like the
0elated guest, conspicuous by its absence.
Ii was at great fault to recall events or
data, and the principal answer he gave
was that he didn't remember, or he would
like to see the voucher to refresh his MEM
ory. He called on a man named "Arthur"
to assist him, but the committee froze on
Arthur giving any answers, and told him
to go along and tell what he knew; that
he was adjutant general, and not Arthur
lie was like man cropping around in
the dark, and appeared to be as little
familiar with the figures that were showed
before his eyes as one who had never seen
them. He had forgotten even when the
soldiers returned from Chickamauga, and
had to inquire of Gen. Gilmore what day
they returned.
The committee almost knocked him off
his seat when they asked him what duties
he performed that he did not put in extra
pay for. He couldn't think what he had
to do for his salary, so gave an evasive
reply.
With such mass of extravaganza stand
ing before Gen. Peck there is little left for
him to do but to resign, and if he has any
regard for the good name of the state he
will do so.
There was not a solitary item in his
whole list of official expenses of $1,000
that he could point to and say that he had
authority for under the existing statutes.
He endeavored several times to say that
such expenses had been custom, but
when interrogated farther by the commit
tee it was found that the custom had been
established by Gen. Peck.

The columns of the daily papers have
been largely devoted during the week to
the work of the peace commissioners in
Paris, with scare dispatches as to the
probability that the Spanish commissioners
may stop all negotiations and withdraw
from further conference Oh account of the
demand of the United States that Spain
shall give up entirely her sovereignty in
the Philippines. This demand, which
was definitely made by the American COM
mssioners, was met 10y the Spanish mem
bers with an indignant contention that
such an event as Spain's abandonment of
the Philippines was never contemplated in
the original peace negotiations. The
Americans answer that the peace protocol
was explicitly drawn up with this end in
view, the rds 'shall determine the con-
troll, disposition, and government of the
Philippines" in the third article, having
been inserted to cover this point. The
proceedings of the commission for the
past fortnight have consisted OF series of
brief meetings and adjournments. At a
meeting on Wednesday the Spanish COM
missioners proposed that it be |, # to some
outside person as Arbitrator to say what
the protocol means on this point, and an
adjournment till Saturday was then taken.
1t is entirely safe to say that the American
commissioners will not listen to any con-
tention of this kind, and their answer will
be- as it has been, take it or leave it Just
as ii stands.

Jan. l, 1899, is the date finally agreed
upon by the American and Spanish com
mlssioners in Havana for Spanish rule to
cease in Cuba. The date is a compromise,
Dec having been originally named by
the American commissioners, while the
Spaniards insisted that they could not get
out before the first of March. While the
Spanish occupation will end theoretically
Jan, l, it is probable that $4,000 Spanish
troops will then be left in Cuba which must
occupy barracks there until they can be
given transportation home.

The tlamboyant Peck should be COM
PEELED to resign at once the office of adiu-
tant and inspector general. He stands dis
credited in the eyes of the people of the
state, by his own admissions. He was
paid salary by the state for performing
the duties of a certain office, but it would
appear that when there was work to be
done it was charged to extra expense and
the state paid the bill. What he did to
earn his regular salary of $1,000 does not
appear, but he had the unmitigated gall to
ask the present legislature to increase his
salary. Here are items of so for a box
occupied at the Old Guard ball in New
York by Peck and three staff officers, $S
for maple sugar given to railroad officials
as tip or recognition for favors shown,
large charges for carriages in which Peck
and friends rode, unexplainably large
charges for postage, payment for papers
sent to Vermont military officers, etc
Peck has exploited himself at state ex-
pense long enough. Cut off his official
head and cut it quick

The reduction of the army has gone on
more rapidly thai the public generally
supposed, for Adjutant- General Corbin
stated in his report that about 100, 900 of
the volunteers have been mustered out
since the close of hostilities. The highest
strength the army attained in the course
Of the war was II los officers and 263 900
men, total of 294, III. OF these 1882
officers and 56,365 men were regulars. 1t
is demonstration of our national capaci-
ty for rapidly adjusting ourselves to condi-
tions that neither the enlistment of nearly
100000 men, nor the disbandment of lOO.-
600 worked any embarrassment to the busi
ness of the country. The labor market
was not seriously disturbed by either op.

Later returns from last weeks elections
have confirmed the first impression of a
safe and satisfactory Republican victory.
In the Congress which comes into exist
ence on the 4th of March next should it
then be called together, the Republicans
will have majority of ten to fifteen
votes in the House of Representatives.
The Senate has been surely redeemed from
the domination of Democrats, Silvertes
and Populists, and the control will be in
the hands Of an assured Republican major

William Alden Smith is now serving his

for third; Samuel w. Smith is serving
his first and has been reelected for sec.

derfoot' in the ways of congressional life
when he takes his seat. They are all Re-

William Alden is one of the best known
speakers in the state, with the possibility
of being elected to the United States SEN
ate next winter should Senator Julius

Winning Its Laure1s.

According to authentic news from Mont
pelier the bills to create the separate Office
of insurance commissioner and to safe
guard the insurance interests of the state
are slated to be killed without even de-
cent hearing, and this in face of the fact
that there is no sound argument against
the principle of this proposition, and that
the leading insurers of the state, and the
insuranee agents and companies are unani-
mousiinf,r import. More than 80 letters

While deserving measure like this is
brusquely ruled out of court. it appears
that Gov. Smiths scheme for piece of
class legislation of the rankest kind is to
be rushed through without a mouth being
opened in opposition to it, unless some
senator develops unexpected nerve. We
mean, of course, the bill inviting million
aires to come to Vermont to make a trade
with the state whereby they may dodge
payment of their just share of taxation in
this or any other state.
The legislature of 1898 is said to be
lacking in leadership. 1t seems to be lack

MONTPELIER. Nov. |

MONTPELIER, Nov. 16.
The Central Vermont reorganization
bill has today passed both houses and is to-
night in the hands of Governor Smith. The
bill was reported from the house committee
on railroads late this forenoon with several
amendments recommended by the commit
tee. The amendments were adopted without
word of comment and the bill passed
within 10 minutes of its first appearance
The bill went to the senate directly after
the noon recess, where it was ordered to
third reading under suspension of the rules
and passed.
The amendments to the bill are practi-
cally only to provide for about 100000 of
unsecured Indebtedness OF the present sys-
TEN as follows:
For supplies, sl3, ,2o3
Claim of Nellie p Hubbard, Willmantic,
Conn, 1s7EO
Claim of Randolph National bank. 5000
Claim of Welden National bank, 10000
Claim of National bank OF Redemption g3 S42
Claim of Wagner Car Co, 1000
Due on the webb mortgage, $4,000
These claims are to be paid in the bonds
of the new company, which is to be organ
lied to take the place of the old Central
Vermont and to take over the ownership
or control of the lines owned or leased by
the present system.
One of the provisions added to the bill
by amendment is that interest on old bonds
shall be paid to the time the new ones are
issued, and the creditors who now own the
road and system must accept the provis-
ions of the act within 90 days of its pas
sage.
The new company is authorized to or
ganize with capital stock of $1,000, 600
Charao of oIN 4 4,
to the amount of $l2, 600, 900 more to take
up the debts of the present Central Yer
mont according to the agreement of the
creditors at Boston, September 20 last

Central Vermont are Edward c. Smith.
d. d. Ranlett, Charles NJ. Hayes, Charles
Percy, John G. Mccullough, William Sew
ard Webb, Ezra II. Baker and Samuel Z.
Kilmer, and the new company may buy or
lease all the lines owned or operated by
the present Central Vermont system.
The bill does not go into effect until the
property of the Central Vermont is sold
under decree of the United States circuit
court, which now practically controls the
road in the interests of the creditors.
The judiciary committee of the two
houses have reported favorably the bills
for the commutation of the sentences con-
demning Mrs. Isabella Marsh and William

though they would escape the gallows.

Ex-Gov. Grout explains the expenses
which he incurred as chief executive
of the state, and which the state paid.
ON the ground of precedent, although
acknowledging that there was no legal pro-
vision for payment of these bills by the
state. He simply points his finger at each
OF the other recent governors and saws of
them in turn "he's another" The matter
of the governors expenses has evidently
been run very loosely. The law makes no
provision for such expenses, but each gov
ernor has gone on using the states money
for personal expenditures connected with
bis official capacity, in violation of the
state constitution Gov. Grout seems to
have done much the same as other gov
eruors who were at fault, but he stopped
over worse than any of his predecessors
by taking his 'dignfed party of 6j Yer
monters' on the Nashville junket at an
expense to the state of $500.
