MADRID IS QUIET.

A correspondent of the New York
POST" writing from Madrid under
date c. May 18th. tells us In a sentence
exactly a quarter of a column long,
and several others but little shorter,
that everything moves along in Madrid
Just as IL the nation had not become
involved In a war that is sapping its
carts, workmen, fashionable equippages
business vans. officers, marketmen and
priests; dudes, women. soldiers, all
swell the crowds in the streets; the
promenades are taken In the cool of
the evening as Of old, the people chat
and laugh and joke. discuss local pol
itics and read the news, just as If the
whole country was at peace, and not
embroiled in a foreign war and threat
ened with a civil one.
But this correspondent insists that
there is little to fear from the Car
lists; that their movements excite no
special interest, and that the patriot
Ism of the people Is of that trustful and
intense order that produces calm instead
of disturbed waters. This is quite a
different condition of things from that
the most of the public have been led TO
believe exists in the Spanish capital.
Yet 1t is probably a correct picture. II
Is characteristic of Spanish character.
With a Government exercising such
restrictions throughout the populous
centers, and maintaining such strong
police and military patrol system as
prevails In Madrid, rufiiing OF the

THE POUND OF FLESH.

The opponents of Hawaiian annexa-
ton are in a hopeless minority in the
Senate, yet have sufficient strength to
operate as obstructionists. The dis
patches say that Senator White is the
leader of this minority. Yet, singular
as it may appear, this Senator halls
from California, which instructed him
in favor of annexation, and the people
of which are overwhelmingly in favor
of accepting the proffer of the Ha-
waiian Government
1t having been announced that the
House will take up and dispose Of the
Newlands annexation resolution be-
fore adjournment of Congress, word
comes from the Senate that the White
contingent will continue to stubbornly
antagonize the movement, and will, as
last resort, bring to the surface the
alleged compact between the members
of the Finance Committee. The Demo-
cratic members Of that committee as
sert that there was a solemn cove
nant entered into that the Hawaiian
present session Of the Senate in any
form, provided that the Democratic
members would aid in securing
speedy action upon the war revenue
bill. This they claim they have done,
and hence they demand the delivery
of the pound of flesh.
1t is replied to this by the friends Of
annexation that the Democrats have
not furthered expedition upon the rev.
enue bill. They might have said more,
that this anti-annexation element has
obstructed and delayed the BILL and
that too. at time when the war ex-
penses of the Government are piling up
at the rate Of more than 81 100000 a
day.
No matter how this is looked upon, it
places the anti-annexationists in q bad
light. By their own confession, they
made the dire necessities of the nation
the instruments Of political advantage.
They sought to wiring from the friends
Of the AdminiStration-and from the
whole country, for the matter of that
the pledge that, in order to support our
soldiers and sailors in the fields Of
war, there should be no annexation Of
Hawaii. They made the honor of the
country the price of refraining from
obstructing and crippling the nation in
the midst of a war, and thus practical
ly put blood money price upon their
votes.
If Senator White and his minority
contingent are prepared to stand be-
fore the nation in this attitude and ac-
cept the infamy it will inevitably en-
tail, well and good. If the bargain was
exacted-and the assertion does not ap-
pear to be denied-then these Senator
ial Shylocks have not kept faith, and
the agreement should be ignored. 1t
was a pound of-fesh bond, and as such
void in morals. But the country will
not forget the incident, and in this
State memory Of it will always be
accompanied by the shame that Cali
fornia Senator was the leader in the
infamy

"Fighting Bob Evans"

Eds. Record Union: Who is Flight
ing Bob Evans? Has he a right to the
title or does he like Weyler, have type
written notices for the press. To-day S
dispatches in their endeavor to glOrify
him must use coarse expression as
coming from him. If it be his Ian
guage, and it is on par with similar
remarks attributed to him, we can
probably expect to find him q newspa-
per fighter, for bravery and black
guardis1n are not usually found to-
gether in the person Of our officers and
leaders; and If these remarks are not
from him the press do not add to his
fame by assigning them to him. We
hear of no such from Schley, Sampson
or Dewey. Is he the only blackguard? !?

fCaptain Robley D. Evans has line
and honorable record in the navy. He
was in both attacks upon Fort Fisher
during the rebellion and was twice Sc

dispatch as to the Spanish gunnery at
Santiago, though he has frequently
been credited with expressing himself
in very vigorous language upon critical

SENATOR WHITES CHARGE.

When it was asserted in the United
States Senate on Tuesday that the an
nexation Of Hawaii is as much a war
necessity, and therefore a proper war
measure as any other taking that war
renders necessary, Senator White of
California. misrepresenting the con-
stituency that named him, saw At to
impugn the motives Of those who urge
annexation
He declared that as the annexation
lists would not wait until after the war
and consider the Hawaiian question
separately, he was justified in suspect
ing that some sinister purpose lay be-
meath IT all. He thus impugned the mo-
tives Of his fellow Senators opposing
him; he slapped In the face his con-
stituency that is honestly for annexa-
ton and makes no concealment Of its
reasons.
He excused his charge by saying that
as we had not prepared Pearl Har-
have done so, he was warranted in sus
pecting some other design behind the
effort to make annexation a war meas
ure, than honest desire to secure a coal
ing station.
Did Senator White ever interest him
self in the proposition to fortify Pearl
Harbor? Was he so prescient that he
foresaw this war, and spent his energy
with stubborn Congress in the effort
to prepare Pearl Harbor for the ap-
preaching conflict? But then, for such
demagogy as that, any port in a storm.

A KlOndil<er.
+. W. Thompson Back from Dawson

r. W. Thompson Back from Dawson.
Fred w Thompson, who has been in the
Klondike regions for about eight months.
returned to his home in this village We'd
resdav night. He was called home by the
illness of his mother, and when he received
the letter from his father he was about to
start for Charley River, which is on the
American side. In company with Mr..
King, who started from this place, he was
in Dawson making preparations for the
Journey when his fathers letter rea ched
him. aud if it had been three days later he
would have been on his journey and would
not have received it until too late to come
out of the region by water.
He came from Dawson to the head of
Lake Bennett and hence to Lake Linde-
man. which he crossed in a boat and then
took the trail through the renowned Chilli
coot Pass; after arriving at the sea he
took passage to Tacoma, Wash, and
from there home. In all the journey took
about 25 days actual travelling without
counting the numerous delays.
Mr.. Thompson looks as though the life
agreed with him and expressed himself as
very much pleased with the trip. Geo.
Roland, who went with him, left the party
and intends to spend the winter near Daw-
son.
He says that the stories of the gold
Weld are greatly exaggerated and this
years output will not exceed $4,000, Geo,
although reports have had it as high
as 500, 900, 600. There are very few
strangers arriving now and there does not
appear to be very large number return
ing to the states. At the time be left the
region was not closed up, but he thinks by
.; 81 70 10 -,
ers and lakes and in the course of a month
it will be solid enough for travellers. 1t is
expected that thousands will come out on
the ice.
No new strikes have been made near
Dawson orany of the older camps, but neal
where Mr.. King is going on the Charley
River several rich finds have been re
ported
During his stay in the Kondike Mr.
Thompson met three men from BrattleborC
and man from Saxtons River He ais,
saw John Lloyd, who was formerly {
brakeman on the Boston Il Maine railroad
here.
Mr. Thompson intends to return, but il
undecided a. to the exact time of doing so
He sold his outfit and provisions to a MAJ
who had taken up claim and is to hav,
half the earnings of the claim for tive
years.
When he returns he thinks he will max,
the journey overland by means of a dos
team These animals furnish all the com
munication between the gold region anC
the outer world
When he returns he will not take an out
fit from the states but will take a load 0
goods to his friends and buy his outfit from
the receipts of the goods. As an exampl
of the high price which necessities com
mand, Mr.. Thompson says an ordinar
pair of moccasins that would be dear for 5
are considered bargain at $50.

Mr.. Williams is one of the prominent
managers of the extensive asylum for deaf

of all the supplies for the institution. lie
was driving through the street Thursday
in his wagon when an electric car struck
the team, demolishing the wagon and in
turing the horse. Mr.. Williams was found
in the debris of the wagon terribly injured
about the head, and unconscious, in which
condition he still remains, with little pros
pect of his recovery. The surgeons exam
nation showed a severe cut across the
forehead, and on one side of the head,
probably by striking it against the curb
stone, causing a severe conclusion of the
brain. He was injured otherwise, but the
injuries to the head are the most severe.

ASTHMA CAN Be CURED.
A Noted Physician Will Prove This to
sufferers in BrattlpbOrO.

The progress of modern medical science
has led to the discovery of successful meth
DDS of treatment for most of those maladies
once regarded as incurabe. Asthma has
always been regarded as belonging to this
obstinate class, battling the skill of the
greatest physicians. Thousands of suf-
ferers know by their own experience that
little if any relief has been afforded them
by the methods heretofore employed Dr.
Rudolph Schiffmann, the noted physician
has, after a lifelong study of asthma and
kindred diseases, discovered remedy
which not only gives instant relief in the
severest cases of asthma, hay fever and
bronchitis, but has actually cured thous-
ands whose cases had been pronounced in
durable. So complete is his confidence in
his remedy, that to overcome the skepticism
OF the public growing out of the failure of
other remedies, Dr. Schiffmann requests
this paper to Announce that for the next
three days he offers a liberal sample box of
"Schiffmann's Asthma Cure" free of
charge to all persons applying at Geo. f.
Greene's drug store, 50 Main street He
believes that an actual test will be the most
convincing and in fact the only way to ov-
ercome the natural prejudice of thousands
of Asthmatics who have heretofore sought
relief in vain. Persons living out of town
will receive package free, postpaid, by
writing direct to Dr. h. Schiffmanu. 3l5

The Ice supply Exhausted.

The ice supply of Bellows Falls, in com
mon with many other places in New Eng
land, has given out entirely, and our dealers
are having to depend upon other places to
supply us. w. H. Kiniry used the last of
his stock three weeks ago and had to get
seven or eight carloads, which has all come
from Keene. Geo. f. Evans's supply lasted
until last Friday and he has secured one
carload of manufactured ice from Spring
field, Mass, which is all gone, and he is
now using the keene supply, having re-
ceived a car Saturday. Both dealers are
supplying their customers at the same
prices as during the summer although the
ice costs them more than they receive for
it. Should the warm weather last great
while they will be forced to raise the price
The quality of the Keene ice is excellent, it
being very clear and perfectly pure. The
manufactured ice was also good, but there
is little feeling against its use if the other
can be procured
