People Familiar with Her Crimes Much
Surprised at the Governors Act
None of the Prosecuting Of
Hcers Consulted.

vergcnncs VT, Aug. L. Mrs. Lizzie
Noonan made her appearance in Ferris
burgh Saturday, claiming to have been
that the pardon Is conditional on her good
behavior. She was sentenced last Deem
her for five years at hard labor at the
States prison for grand larceny, to whic.
she had pleaded guilty. There were four
other indictments against her for other
fclones, which were mol pressed in con-
sideration of her pleading guilty and the
sentence In this case.
She Is the woman who figured so con-
srcuously In Ferrisburgh with Fred Bal
Icy who Is now in the House of Correction
for breaking into the Ferrsburgh depot
with Grant Jackman.
None of the local officers were consulted
regarding her release from State prison.
The greatest surprise Is expressed by all
upon her being set at liberty, and unless
some adequate cause Is assigned for her
release, II Is the opinion of many who
understand the career which she led and
the extreme leniency shown her in view
of her apparent crimes, that the executive
Is open to censure.
The readers of the Free Press were fur
nished with the reports of her case al the
time of her trial, and of her alleged con-
nccton with the gang of criminals o;
whom she was supposed to have been one
of the leaders. II certainly should be due
to the officials who procured her convlc-
ton and to every one interested In good
morals and the enforcement of the law
in the county that the apparently rash act
Of executive clemency should receive some
adequate explanation.

PARDONED BY GOV. CIRCUIT.

Bennington, VT. July 3l.-Byron T.
Roberts, who was convicted at the
term Of the County Court in December
1888, for manslaughter for killing William
Walder In Woodford early In the year, and
sentenced to nineteen years at hard labor
n the State prison, has arrived home hav-
ng been pardoned by the governor. Rob-
erts with companion named Bent were
bringing out a load of wood when they
met Valdez.
The feeling has always beeen gen.
raj that Bent, who now resides here
was the most to blame. Both were tried
and Bent was acquitted Roberts went to
States prison. There was a strong feel
ing here In his favor and as soon as it
could be done w. b. Sheldon. who was his
counsel started to get him pardoned. The
petition was signed by a large number Of
the leading men of the county the jury
that convicted him. Other influences were
brought to bear. Roberts who was n
strong healthy man began to lose his
health In prison, and his eyesight began
to fail. For long time 1t was thought
that he had consumption. The petition
was presented to Gov. Page. He refused
TO grant 1t and so did Gov. Woodbury. Mr.
Sheldon persevered with Gov. Grout and
esterday morning the superintendent
laced the pardon In Roberts hands.

READY TO SURRENDER
People of Manila Only Want Assurance
That Thoy VIII Not be Placed vt
tho Insurgents Mercy.

London, Aug 1.-The correspondent of
the Times at Cavite, on the date OF July
20, says:
THE arrival OF Gen. Wesley Merritt has
given great stimulus to military activ-
ity, chiefly in Camp Dewey, where Gen.
Greenes brigade has been reinforced by
troops from Merritts transports The
occupation of the country south of Ma
Mia has been completed for about mile
east of the shore, but the line does not
extend to the river Pasig. No territory
Is held by the Americans north OF the
town.
Gen. Greene, who directs the active field
operations, has esta blished his headquar-
tiers near the seashore under the guns of
the warships about 1000 yards from the
Spanish position and from 500 to 1000 yards
distant from the insurgent lines, which
approach, at one point, within $50 yards
OF the enemy.
Here occur daily attacks which are
usually begun by the insurgents. Often
these are apparently severe, but they
have little result and cause few losses.
The Americans have not yet returned "A
single shot, although they are constantly
under fire.
The situation at the front is most ex-
traordnary. Each force Is guarding its
own lines, but the insurgents are little
better than an armed rabble. They pass
freely through the American camp and
minsle with the troops but they render
no assistance and are, indeed. rather n
hindrance 10 the operations.
II am reluctant to believe the report
that a certain prominent American Of
fetal assured Aguinaldo that tho Ameri-
cans came simply to support the insur-
gent cause and establish a republic, yet
the attitude of the insurgents, particu-
larly since Aguinaldo's recent proclama-
ton announcing his plans for the future
republic, seems ample confirmation. The
insnrgent leaders are aggressively AFRO
CANT and make no move toward recognize
Ing American authority.
"Gen. Merritt thus far has not met Agui-
naldo. The condition OF the Spanish pris-
oners confined by the insurgents at Cavite
Is most deplorable and has excited the
pity and sympathy of Gen. Merritt who
begins to issue rations to-day without adj
vising Aguinaldo. This Is probably the
first step toward assuming proper author
ity over the insurgents who had hitherto
been treated as masters of the situation
The attitude of the insurgents Is the only
difficulty of conducting military opera

been completed by the bureau of statistics
in it's monthly Summary of Finance and
Commerce." which presents the details
of the imports and exports in the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1898. 1t shows that
the exports to all parts OF the world in
creased both in manufactures and prod
ucts of agriculture, and that, while there
was n great falling off in imports. the
reduction was almost exclusively in manu-
featured articles aud food products. Man
ufactured articles ready for consumption

1895 over 80 per cent of the total importa-
lions, while in 1897 they were only 2S per
cent and in 1896 q per cent of the total
imports, showing a large relative increase
in the proportion which these articles used
in the domestic industries bore to the
total importatlons. Manufactured articles
for use in the mechanic arts formed in
1895 about the same percentage of the i'm
ports that they did In 1896 and 1897.
The expectations of manufactures, which
amounted to s28S ST. i49 in 1898, exceeded
those OF 1897 by 81 05s and those of 1896
