GOOD TEMpLARs' LODGE CLOSED.

orthhcld Vt. Oct. 1.-THE seth annual
session of the Grand Lodge of Vermont
|. q. q. T., came to a close Thursday
night about l. O'Clock. The public meet
inC, which it is customary for the Grand
Lodge to hold during its session. was
largely attended and the programme was
of unusual interest Those appearing on
the programme that were especially inter-
csting were the addresses by DR.. Mann,
Miss Jessie Forsythe, Hon Frank Plum
ley. and the reading by Miss Ethclyud
Gould. DR.. Mann covered various phases
of the temperance question and gave in
tereSting statistics of the amount of work
the Good Tcmplars are doing. their num-
bcrs, scope and influence for good. Hon.
Frank plumlcy spoke with ferVor on the
questions of prohibition and high liccns,
and the proposed referendum. Concerning
the referendum, he said that II was o.
would be unconstitutional in that the con-
stituton of Vermont made no provision
Tor the people of the State directly max
ing Il law; that power was left with their
duly accredited representatives.. He be-
iicvcd Vermont has no place for the IL
ccnscd saloon. He gave as his opinion
that the suburban population WAS as
much Interested in the laws which should
govern the cities of their State as were
the residents of the cities themselves. The
state made the city, and therefore the
state, which has large suburban popula.
tiun must have voice in the conduct
and restrictions that shall be placed up
on sucn cities. He believed the scheme OF
the high license advocates WAS to mass
the population of Ncrmonts cities against
the rural population and thus secure a
majority sufficient to force the high Ii
ccnse law upon the people. This he did
not believe would worlt and he looked for
ho high license measures In this State.
Vermont did not want 1t and her citizens
would so express themselves i'm unmis-
taxable terms at the proper time. Fol-
lowing tho close of the public meeting tho

permission to him to return at any time.

has been giving the United States peace
commissioners the benefit OF his obser-

forces at Manila. in an Interview with
a representative of the associated press
to-day, discredits the statement attrib-
uted TO Agoncillo by the Globes cores
pendent at Hong Kong. General Mer-
rift said that from conversations he had
with Admiral Dewey he was satisfied
that no arrangement had been entered
into with the Philippine leaders. The
general added: III the Filipinos were
