S. McCaughey, who owns something
like million and a quarter OF the best
bred merno sheep in Australia, sold re-
Gently TO the Australian Pastoral company,
Queensland, 1900 flock rams at SIS a head,
and one stud ram at 500. Since then he
has sent to another part of Queensland a
600 flock of rams al so each. The Amer
lean Vermont merinos have done wonders
for the Australian sheep industry, and the
following, from the pen Of Mr. McCaughey
himself, will be read with interest. He
says This type of sheep is produced by
the Introduction OF the American Vermont
pure merino ram on our Australian me-
rino eve, and speaking generally, where
the country is suitable to the merino sheep,
I have found this improved merino sheep
TO be the most profitable to breed, and
more particularly in these times when We
have to depend more on our wool clip than
on the sale of surplus sheep for our profit. "

The arrival of several treasure ships
from the Klondke recently has again
directed attention TO the Klondke gold
fields, but there is no chance of another
stampede, such as occurred a year ago.
The war has drawn OFF young adventurers
who would have flocked to the Yukon,
and the reports are not so promising as
expected. In fact, the summing up of the
situation at Dawson is that two creeks,
Eldorado and Bonanza, have furnished
three. quarters of the nuggets and gold
dust The remaining creeks are "spotted"
with gold, and the number of claims that
do not yield any profit for labor far ex-
ceeds that of paying placers. The total
output for the season is estimated by con-
servative men at 100000 600. 1t is shown,
also, that claims which would be called
rich in California are found to be poor
producers on the Klondike, because of the
heavy cost of labor There is no question
of the permanency of Dawson as a mining
centre, because several rich quartz lodges
have been located nearby. The city has
grown immensely, and the increase of pop
uation by this seasons arrivals will be
little short of three thousand.

Fortifcations on Fishers Island.

The confirmation of the award for the
purchase of 2l6 acres of Fishers Island
by condemnation for the United States
for purposes of fortifcation is now before
Judge Thomas in Brooklyn. 1t is ex-
pected that he will decide to confirm the
award. 1t is said that Major Leach had
estimated that the cost would not be under
S150,OO The decision of the commits
sioners runs only little above that sum,
The owners of the island are Messrs.
Edmund Ferguson OF Pittsburg and Wal
ton Ferguson of Stamford, who purchased
it ten years ago for quarter of million,
and it has improved on their hands like
all such property. The Notifications will
take up the southwest end of the island,
and whoever looks the land over will be
sure that the use of the place for such pur-
pose is only consented to at all because of
the military necessity of such a position
for the defence of Long Island Sound.
This matter has an interest for many
Windham county people. A colony OF
workers from here are in the employ OF
the Messrs. Ferguson.

An officer of the Norwegian navy, who
has been studying American methods, and
who witnessed the battle off Santiago, de-
clares that the Oregon is the finest war
ship of the American navy, and he says it
is doubtful if any nation in the world can
build such a perfect battleship. An exami-
nation of the different sized holes in dis
abled Spanish cruisers shows that more
effective shots were fired by the cruiser
Brooklyn, Commodore Schley's flagship,
than any other vessel.

The Barre Telegram is so premature as
to start a discussion OF the speakershp OF
the next legislature. II says that if GER
tain things happen at St. Adams and Brat
tleboro there will be struggle between
Col. A. A. Hall of the railroad city and
Col. X. Haskins of Brattleboro. Col. Has
kins, who was speaker at the recent spe-
cial session, would be the logical candidate
if returned from Brattleboro this fall Col.
Hall is a native of Windham county and he
aud Col. Haskins have been lifelong
friends, and workers for years together in
Masonic circles, where each have received
the highest honors in the gift of the fra
ternity in the state 1t is not probable
that they will be in a contest against each
other, even if certain things" happen.
There will be reasons for congratulations il
two such able men as Col. Haskins and Col.
Hall are in the legislature, but the time to
discuss the speakership is after representa-.
tives have been elected.

Sampson. and schlsy's Report. DlsOp


The reports of Admiral Sampson and
his officers on the destruction OF Cervera's
feet tell in substance but in more extended
detail the story made familiar by the press
reports, Everybody looked first to see
what recognition Sampson made OF Com
modore Schley, but the hope that Sampson
would be magnanimous and give the COM
modore full credit for his services is
blasted.
He mentions Commodore Schley by
name only twice and then only to say that
he did not overrule one OF the commodore 5
orders, and that the commodore's report is
forwarded with his own. The warmest com.
mendation he has for his gallant and dis
tinguished subordinate is half hidden-away
in a general panegyric upon the fine be-
hayior of all the officers and men engaged.
Scheys report is clear and Illuminating,
and he is unstnted in his praise to the
other officers and the men. He gives the
otherwise admirable document, however,
an unsavory flavor with the following: 81
am glad had an opportunity to contri-
butte in the least to a victory which seems
big enough for all"
1t is to be regretted that the brave and
honored men did not throw aside personal
ambitions, jealousies and piques in their
official reports. They would have gained
rather than lessened the esteem in which
the American public holds them had they
done this.

Lieut.. Hobson Hopes to Save spanish
Cruisers,

Lieut.. Hobson, who arrived in New
York on the St. Paul Saturday, has re-
ceived ovatons from the people IN that
city, Washington, Boston and other places
where he has been recognized. He SEEM
ed embarrassed at this hero worship de-
clined to talk regarding the sinking of the
Merrimac, and when he first appeared in
New York he attempted IS conceal his
identity by wearing shabby negigee cloth
ing.
His object in coming to this country
was TO urge the necessity of immediate ac-
tion in attempting to save the Spanish
cruisers, and to explain TO the officials at
Washington his own plans for floating the
ships by means OF pontoons. The Reina
Mercedes and the Maria Teresa will un-
doubtedy be used by our navy, but Lieut..
Hobson is particularly anxious about saw
ing the Cristobal Colon, which nearly
eluded our warships, and was finally beach
ed 80 miles from Santiago. She is one Of
the finest vessels of her class ever built,
and Lieut.. Hobson believes that she may
be restored to service if foated before the
waves and rocks cause further damage.

latter did so, but the moment lie met the

II Was Presented to Rev. l.. VI. wilde on
His Return from a Trip Abroad--In-
teresting Exercises, Including Father
wIIde's Remarks.
A reception was rendered the Rev. L
NJ. Wilde, pastor of st. Joseph's par ish.-
in the basement of the church on Wednes-
day evening. The occasion was his return
from Europe and the completion of his
ten years pastorate. The church was
packed to the doors and many were unable,
to gain admission. Rev. j. B. Delaney
who has been acting pastor during the ab-
sence of Father Wilde, made short intro
ductory remarks relative to Father Wilde's.
absence and ten years pastorate.
The following was the program:
Song Welcome to Our Pastor
Introductory remarks Rev. j. b. Delanyy
Address. James O'Brier
Address tFrench) Basile TheTie-
Music
Address from the children, The Good Shepherd,
Lilly Bellevills
Reception by Rev. Father Wilde.
The reverend gentleman expressed his
pleasure at being once more united to the
sheep of his fold. He told briefly the sto-
ry of his voyage and the interesting places
he had visited during his absence. Dur
ing his stay abroad he found the sentiment
vi buc ptOplc anu press VI Otl
France and Belgium utterly opposed to us
on the question of our war with Spain.
1t was the universal opinion in those
countries that the end and aim of the war
was conquest and that it was undertaken
wholly in the interest of the money power.
Some of the papers went to the extent
of claiming that even our victories were
bought with gold. He told of ladies VIII O
were insulted in the streets of Berlin foI
wearing the American flag.
Following the idea that the decorations
of red, white and blue suggested, Fathe
Wilde said that any American returning
from Europe, even though it be the land
of his birth, would be but the prouder of
this land of the free. In conclusion he
urged the people who shared the blessings
of our great institutions TO bear manfullE
and patriotically the burdens, and to main
tain its honor and integrity even at the
cost of their lives.
At the conclusion of the exercises q
purse of $3.50 was presented in the name
of the people Of Hinsdale and the parish
toner's of Ashuelot and Winchester. After
hearty hand-shake all went to the upper
church where benediction of the Blessed.
Sacrament was given, the congregation
uniting in singing "Te Deum" of thanks
giving.
