Washington, Sept, SIN response to
the request of the governors of some
of the states for the muster out of their
entire volunteer force, the president re-
piled in substance as follows: Il have
already directed that 100000 of the vol
untecrs shall be mustered out of the
service. About 100000 will remain, as
the government now requires in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines a larger
army than the regular military estab-
ishment affords. The muster out, like
the muster in, will be as nearly as pos
sible according to the population Of
the several states. The suggestion to
muster out all of the volunteers from
your state cannot, therefore, be enter
tanned"

White River junction, VT, Sept s.
The result of Tuesdays biennial cleo
tion in Vermont shows many surprises,
the Republican vote having fallen off
quite materially from four years ago,
whereas the party managers expected
1t would equal, If not exceed, the vote
Of 1894. The Democrats have not only
made gain for governor, but have
elected 33 representatives in 179 towns
heard from, while only II were seated
the last off year. The Prohibition vote
shows falling off of over 40 per cent.
One Prohibitionist has been elected to
the house Of representatives. Con-
gressmen Grout and Powers are re-
elected by substantial majorities. The
Republicans have elected their candi-
dates for senators in every county.

TO BUY RAILROADS.
Vote on Municipal Ownership Ink
In Switzerland

Vote on Municipal Ownership Taken
In Switzerland.
Consul General Dubois at St Gall has
made report to the State Department in
regard to the purchase of railroads By the
Swiss government.
THE election to settle the long and hit
terly discussed question of the purchase of
the five main railroad lines Of Switzerland
by the govornVent," he says, was held
February 20, ard by $50 o'clock in the
evening the general result was known in
every town and city in the republic. The
news was given to the people by the gov
eminent absolutely free of charge which
demonstrates the fact that Switzerland has
one of the finest telephone systems in the
world. 1t is owned by the government and
operated in the interest of all the people
The total number of votes cast was
56O.S92, each citizen above the age of twen-
ty one having the right Of suffrage. OF
iris number of votes, ,SS2 We're in favor
of and 1861 against the purchase, max
ing majority in favor of government own
ership of 207, ST.. The roads to be purchased
ere as follows: Jura Smplon, Swiss North
east, Swiss Central, United Swiss and Colt
hard. On the 9th of December, 1891 the
question of the purchase of the Swiss Gen.
trail railroad was voted upon, and the vote
cast was 420,500 The number in favor of
the purchase was 10000, and the number
the purchase being 1G9,5OO. Thus it will be
seen that there has been, since 1891 a
great change in the minds of the people Of
Switzerland concerning the government
ownership of railroads, and this change has
been brought about by a thorough discus
sion of the subject in the press and on the
platform. Never before in the history of
the republic has such bitter contest been
waged, and never before has the govern
nent received such large majority
THE amounts estimated as being the
cost of construction and equipment of the
five main lines are as follows: Jura Simp-
lon, $54. 494. 600; Swiss Northeast, $4, 2JO,-
600; Swiss Central, s2S. 200 600; United Swiss
$15, 255.00O; Gotthard, s48, 794 600; total $780,
09S,OOO. The total length Is LOO miles, and
the amount that the government will have
to pay for these roads is estimated at about
500, 100000. The total receipts in 1897 were
$50. 722, 600. An average of 5 per cent divi-
dends has been declared during the past
five years. The number of persons en-
ployed is about 25.0O0. The result of the
election Is being celebrated with great en-
