The Presidents Southern Trip.

An Event which VIII Doubtless Leave
It's Mark on the History of the Country.
President Mckinley and his party re-
turned to Washington Tuesday morning
after an absence of seven days in the
South. With the exception of Mrs.
Mckinley, who was slightly indisposed in
Atlanta, every member of the party was
in the best of health, and all declare the
trip highly enjoyable and a splendid sue
cess in every way. Everywhere the Presi-
dent was received with greetings and dem
onstrations of an enthusiastic character,
and there was not a disturbing incident.
One of the most notable events of the
trip was the visit to the Tuskegee school
where Booker Washington is doing so
much for the elevation of the colored peo-
pie. The party was received with every
possible demonstration of respect and en-
thusiasm. The President expressed his
astonishment at the extent and thorough
ness of Tuskegees work. "Not only"
said he, "does your institution stand for
learning and literature, but for industry,
and all that goes to prepare men and wom-
en- for the struggles of life. If / we're a
vi llt hldDdud lNSlSbpbuiO
would vote to increase the state appropri-
alton for Tuskegee." (Deafening ap-
plause) ITO speak of Tuskegee," the
President continued, without paying
special tribute to Booker T. Washington $
genius and perseverance would be impos-
sible The inception of this noble enter
prise is his, and he deserves high credit
for it. Long live Booker Washington"
Especially did the Presidents address
appeal to the students. 1t was so phrased
as to enter into the life of each. In con-
cluson he said: Integrity and industry
are the best possessions which any man
can have. Nobody can give them to him
or take them from him. He cannot ac-
quire them by inheritance; he cannot buy
them OF beg them or borrow them. They
belong to the individual and are his un-
questioned property. They are a good
thing to have and keep. They make hap
py homes; they achieve success in every
walk of life; they have won the greatest
triumphs of mankind. Employment waits
on them; capital requires them; citizen
| ship is not good without them. If you do
not already have them, get them.'
Gen. Wheeler, Gen. Shafter and Gen.
Lawton were introduced and each made a
brief address. Ringing addresses were
also made by Secretary of the Navy Long
and Postmaster General Smith.
Richard G.. Kerens of St. Louis, the
member of the Republican national com
mttee from Missouri who is now in New
York, says that he regards President Nc
Kinley's tour through the South as al
epoch in the history of this country, fol
while matters have been shaping TO thai
end for many years this trip has wiped out
for all time the old Mason and Dixon''
line, and firmly reunited the two parts O
the country.

The Dingley tariff bill is upsetting the
predictions and theories of the so-called
tariff reformers, who claimed that it would
cause decrease in the exports of manu-
factured articles and would be a failure as
a revenue producer. Official reports for
the first ten months of this year show an
increase in the exports of manufactured
articles from 1921 900, 900 to $253, 900, 900.
The Dingley law has shown an immense
capacity as a revenue producer, despite
the war, which seriously depressed Gus
toms receipts portion of the current year.
In the first eleven months of this year the
customs receipts fell only 100000 short
of the receipts from the same source for
the entire year 1897. Moreover, the daily
official statements issued by the treasury
department clearly indicate that the total
for December will not be under $16,000,-
900, thus carrying the total for the entire
year some S14,OOO,O0O above that of last
year.

Thousands DestItute I'M Cuba

Editor Rowland of the Providence
Journal told President Mckinley Wednes-
day a startling story of the destitution
which still exists in Cuba. Mr.. Rowland
has just returned from Havana. He visit
ed many Spanish and Cuban officers, and
also called on 600 private citizens. There
are over 10000 destitute people in Havana
alone and probably 100000 in the whole
island. They must have regular rations
issued to them until they can gain enough
strength to work again, and get work to
do, for even if they were able, they could
not get the work now. The women and
children are, of course, in the worst plight.
The people request not only ordinary
food, but delicacies and medicines. Re-
ports of similar conditions come to him
from all over the island.

Ethan Aliens Grandson TO be Secretary
of the Interior.


The President nominated Tuesday
Ethan Allen Hitchcock to be secretary of
the interior. Mr.. Hitchcock is a great
grandson of Col. Ethan Allen. He was
born in Mobile, Ala, in September, 1885,
where he remained until 1910, when he
moved with his family to Tennessee. He
remained there until, after taking an
academic course in New Haven, Conn, he
went to St. Louis, Mo-, in 1851, where he
engaged in business. He went to China
in 1860, where he was in business until
1874, when he returned to St. Louis. Mr..
Hitchcock has since been actively engaged
in business as president of several large
manufacturing and railway corporations.
He was appointed minister to Russia in
August, 1897, and was r, r,appointed when
that Office was raised to an embassy.
Samuel Hitchcock came to Burlington
from Massachusetts in 1856. He was the
first states attorney of Chittenden county
He finally became United States district
Judge. Judge Hitchcock married, May 2G,
1889, Lucy Caroline, second daughter of
Ethan Allen, and died in 1918. His widow
survived him many years, dying in lS42,
aged "A. To the couple were born three sons
Samuel, bachelor and recluse; Ethan
Allen, a West Pointer, who attained the
rank of major general in the civil war;
and Henry Gather of the newly appointed
secretary of the interior), who went to
Mobile, became one of the leading men of

IN THE LOCAL FIELD.
FIRE AT HALIFAX.
The Harris Steam Mill Burned sRtur-
day, CamsIn e a Loss of $4,000.


day, Causing n Loss of $4,000.
The Harris steam mill in Halifax was
burned Saturday with its contents. The
mill was owned by Mrs. Henry E. Morton,
but was operated under lease by Dorr S.
Derby and Frank Dickinson, who went to
Halifax from A. M. Merri6ed's mill in
Williamsville about year and half ago
Ten or II hands were employed, largely in
getting out chair stock.
The fire broke out about s o'clock in the
morning. At that time Mr.. Dickinson
was on the ground floor. He smelled
smoke and went up stairs to make an in
vestigation. In the attic under the roof,
into which he could look from the second
floor, he saw a small blaze in a pile of
rubbish, and he went down to the boiler
room after pail Of water. Upon his re-
turn the fire had gotten beyond his control
and in very short time the entire build
ing was enveloped in flames.
1t is supposed that spark from a stove
on the second floor was carried up to the
pile of rubbish by the wind. The fire
could not have been caused by a spark
from the smoke stack as the roof was cover
ed with snow. Neither could it have been
caused by spark from the stove pipe or
chimney as the pipe was in good condition
and the brick chimney was strong and
well built. The fire broke out at con-
siderable distance from the chimney.
The total loss was about S25O0. The
mill and machinery we're insured for $500
in the Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance
company through the agency of A. W.
Childs & Co., of Brattleboro Durby &
Dickinson lost one turning lathe valued at
$500, upon which there was no insurance
Derby & Dickinson contemplate erecting
temporary mill to complete the work they
had begun.

Fresh Water for War ships.

One lesson of the war which will be of
use to every navy in the world, according
to the report of Capt. Bradford, chief of
the naval equipment bureau, was demon
stTations that in future fresh water for
boiler must be abundantly supplied to the
fleet by transports, just as coal is carried.
With the exception of the Oregon, the
dstilling plants aboard our war ships
proved to be inadequate, owing chiefly to
leaky steam pipes. 1t was more difficult
to supply fresh water to ships at Key West
than to supply coal. The boilers of the
ships on blockade before Santiago were
much injured for the want of fresh water,
and gave the commander-in-c chief much
concern. The bureau has heretofore
bought fresh water for steamng purposes,
but that was too expensive. During the
war the bureau paid at one time S2067 so
for 49,, 900 gallons of fresh water at Tomp-
kinsville, N. Y, for the st. Paul, and pro
rata for other ships. To remedy this evil
the bureau is procuring a water barge for
each naval station, and is erecting distill-
ing plants where necessary. 1t has also
procured a tank ship to carry water in
bulk

Speaker HaskIns Endorsed.

Editor of The Heni1:-In the issue of
the state papers generally the past week a
letter from Speaker Haskins of Brattle-
boro was printed in reply to the structures
made by some of our state publications on
the incompetence of the recent legislature
of Vermont. Permit me to say in this
connection that whatever the competency
or incompetency of the legislature of 1898,
one thing has been established, and that is
that the name of Kittredge Haskins will
go down in the chronicles of Vermont as
one of the ablest and most impartial, as
we'll as sagacious speakers that ever pre-
sided in the Vermont House of Represen-
tatives. And, although perhaps there may
be some justification for the structures
above referred to, as long as the ratio of
experienced to inexperienced legislators
was in the neghborhood of 1-16 we may
deem it source of congratulation that
there were no more mistakes made and
less laws enacted of material concern to
the state. w. III. JEFFoRDs,

A Good stroke for England.


There cannot be the least doubt that the
action of Great Britain in the Fashoda af-
fair has sensibly increased the prestige of
that country in the eyes of Europe. There
was a disposition on the continent to
affirm that England was no longer a great
power; that she was becoming a toothless
lion, whose claws even had lost their point
and power. France, Germany, Russia and
Austria were the four great nations whose
word carried with it authority. But the
Fashoda episode has changed all this. The
issue was raised as to whether France
would defend the position taken by her
representative in central Africa, since Eng
land insisted that there should be a com
plete withdrawal, on the penalty of forci-
BILE election if this move was not peaceful
ly made. The French government occu-
pied a false position, but it realized this
when it ordered the advance, and trusted
to its strength and the possible weakness
of England to make good its pretension.
When the matter was brought to an issue,
and the problem was presented of what
the result would be of a test between the
two countries, France did not care to run
the risk. The results of our war with
Spain were revelation of the tremendous
force of sea power when skilfully employ
ed, and the French realized that they
would speedily lose all of their distant
colonial possessions in much the same
manner that Spain had parted with hers.
This acknowledgment has given to Eng
land prestige in Europe that she has not
had for years, and will doutless make it
easier than it otherwise would have been
to insist upon the acceptance of her "open
door, policy in eastern Asia.

Pushing the War ON Tuberculosis.

News comes from London Of a meeting
held at Marlborough House, the London
residence of the Prince of Wales, to help
along the war against tuberculosis The
Prince of Wales presided and the Marquis
of Salisbury, the Earl of Rosebery and a
number of noted scientists and physicians
spoke of the urgent necessity of educating
the people in the means of preventing con-
sumption and of checking the spread of
tuberculosis among cattle.
The Prince of Wales, who promised his
heartiest support to the movement, said
that Great Britain ought to follow the good
example set her in the United States, Ger
many and elsewhere, in the effort to stamp
out this disease. He mentioned the fact
that the Queen had ordered the destruction
of 36 of her dairy cows, which had been
found tuberculous. twas an example, he
urged, such as the farmers ought to follow.
Such a meeting is significant of the in
terest which has been aroused in this sub
ject in all civilized countries 1t makes
one doubly glad that the effort to kill the
tuberculn test, and undo all the good work
that has been done in this behalf in this
state, did not succeed at the recent legisla-
| tive session

The Charge Against Quay.

There is a specific statement Of what is
expected to be proved against Senator
Quay at his impending trial in a publica-
tion Just made by the attorney general of
Pennsylvania, who has prepared the case,
and would have had the charge of it had
not Quay obtained the postponement of
the trial to time beyond the continuance
of this official in office. The latter states
that the case rests upon written and not
verbal evidence, and that
This evidence shows that the public funds of the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania for years have
been used by the cCnsprators for their private

drafts have been made payable to the accused
for cert ain sums of interest the public mo ey,
and these documents. bearing the Endorsement
OF the accused, showing the receipts by them of
the interest money paid, are in the possession of
the commonwealth. The books show that hun
drads of thousands of dollars OF public money de
posted in the Peoples bank we're set apart for
the use of VI. S. Quay and used by him; and he
was charged no interest thereon. The books
show that hundreds OF thousands of dollars
worth Of stocks were bought for VI. s. Quay with
this money. That whenever he failed TO use his
full all )wance of public money thus set apart for
him, interest was carefully calculated upon the
balance not used by him il the purchase of
stocks, and paid TO the state treasurer.
Here seems to be a very strong indict-
ment of Quay, and the fact that it is sus-
tanned By documentary evidence would
seem to render it difficult for any jury to
