The Queen City cotton mill has been
closed indefinitely at Burlington as a re-
suit of the strike of So weavers. Nearly
200 hands are thrown out of employment.
The heavy rain of last week Wednesday
caused the ice to go out of the Connecticut
river, damaging the railroad bridge below
Windsor, so that travel was suspended for
day or two. A large force of men put it
in a safe condition in a short time. This
bridge, belonging to the Boston x Maine
railroad company, has been undergoing re
pairs ever since a large part of it was car
ried out by the log jam, June L. and was

Death of $. =. Bedard of st. Albans.

Hon. Spencer 5. Bedard, 80, died sud
denly at his st. Adams home early sunday
morning. He was in good health appar-
emily when he went to bed, but early in
the morning he complained to his wife of
pains in his chest, and on attempting to
rise he fell back dead. He was a native of
Stanbridge, p. O., but had been in the car
rage and harness business at st. Adams
since 1863 He had been a justice of the
peace, selectman, assistant Judge of the
county court, and in 1856 he made an ex-
cellent record as legislator, when he rep
resented ST. Adams in the House, and was
chairman of the committee on ways and
means. He is survived by a wife and three
children.

Tabor. Denyer's Postmaster.

President Mckinley at the request of
Senator Wolcott has nominated ex-Sena-
tor Horace A. w. Tabor of Colorado to be
postmaster of Denyer-in spite of the fact
thatiTabor is a Bryanite-because, at 81,
he is absolutely in need of a salary, having
lost, in an unfortunate mining venture,
even the $4,000, recently given him by one
of the new Colorado millionaires. Tabor is
still remembered at Washington as the most
sensational person who ever came to the
Senate. During his short term he was
advertised all over the United States by
his $3.50 nightgowns and other extraordi-
nary exhibitions of his wealth. His dia-
mond cuff buttons with which he used to
scratch his desk in the Senate, in order
that it might always be remembered as Ia
boris desk, were never equalled in the
Senate, and neither were the extraordinary
speeches which he used to make to the
senators, and the personal canvasses he
made for their autographs for his album.
Tabor is a native of Holland, Vt. He
was stone cutter by trade. He made an
immense fortune through lucky invest
ments in Colorado mines. His fortune
melted away, however, and he has been il
poverty the past two years.

In Addition to the Invasion of Cuba

Troops In Puerto Rico Is APP
parently Contemplated.

Washington, June 2.-For the first
time since the beginning of hostilities
there appears to be something in the
nature of an official statement of the
plan of campaign of the United States
government. THIS is contained in let
ter of Secretary 4Alger to the speaker
OF the house, transmitting certain rec
concentrations, and statements of Gen.
Ludlow, which disclosed the purpose of
the war department to send 10000 men
to Cuba, 10000 to start at once and the
remainder just as soon as they can be
made ready for departure. Then there
was an estimate for establishing cleo
trical communications in connection
with the army ''in Cuba, Puerto Rico
and the Philippines" showing for the
first time officially an implied intention,
on the part of the government to land
troops in Puerto Rico. OF course all;
these movements have been anticipated,
by the press, but nevertheless strong
element of doubt existed, and therefore

THIRTY-FOUR WERE LOST
Schooner Lady Jane Grey Founders
and Only 81 of 81 Passengers
Are Saved.

Seattle, WASH, June "A special to
the Times from Victoria, B. c., says the
schooner Lady Jane Grey foundered 80
miles west of Cape Flattery Sunday,
May 20. Only 81 out of 81 passengers
were saved.
The Jane Gray's passengers were
prospectors with the exception of Rev.
V. c. Gambrel, a missionary, who, with
his wife and child was on his way to
ST. Lawrence island in the Behring sen.
He refused to place his wife and child
on board the launch, saying: "The YES
sci is doomed and we will die together"
Among the prospectors was a party Of
16 headed by Maj. 1ngraham. who were
QUILTED by Prince Luigi, of italy, for
two years prospecting trip in Alaska.
OF this party the only survivors are Mai.
1ngraham, L. i. Lessey, c. II. Packard
and G. Fl. Pennington. The surviving
passengers suffered great deal of pri-
walton and for 30 hours their only food
was sack Of prunes and a sack of tur-
nips from the ships stores. Sufficient
water was caught by spreading tar
paulin during a rainstorm.

Almost Completed.
Washington, June With the ex-

some troops in Kentucky the mastering
of volunteers under the first call of the
president is completed. Adjt Gen. Cor
bin announced Wednesday night that
trifle over 10000 men had been mus

Nearly all of the troops have been or
dered to report to one or anothe of the
permanent camps and the last few
thousands are now en- route to their
destinations.
The Second Call.
Adjt. Gen. Corbin has completed ar
engagements for the recruitment of 75,-
600 additional troops under the second
call for volunteers. 1t has been decided,
however, to withhold the apportionment
of the different states and territories
from publication for the present for the
reason that such publications Mt this
time would tend to embarrass and de-
lay THE officials of the department.. in the
organization of the new regiments.
According to the plans already form.
ulated, $4,000 troops will be required to
recruit the regiments of the existing
organizations up to their maximum
strength, leaving only $4,000 troops to
be mustered in for the organization of
entirely new regiments.
Several of the states and territories
have already furnished troops under
the first call in excess Of their quotas
under both calls aud Adjt. Gen. Corbin
is authority for the statement that none
Of them will at this time be called upon
to furnish any additional troops. The

This was refused and the battle COM
