FOR GOOD ROADS IN NEW YORK.

What is known as the Higbie- Arm
strong bill, formulated in the interest
of good roads in New York State, has
passed both houses of the legislature.
1t provides for the improvement of
roads at the request of boards of su
pervisors, SO per cent. of the expense
to be borne by the state, 35 per cent.
by the counto, and Is per cent. by the
town or the particular property ben
flied. The passage of this bill was
stoutly resisted both in the senate and
the assembly. In the upper house it
was urged that the proposed legisla-
tion was the entering wedge to the
greatest expenditure ever entailed
upon the understanding the COM
bined expense of the canals and the
capitol. In the assembly it was con-
tended that the measure would prove
a great hardship to the country dis
tricts, and would mean virtual confis-
cation of large sums of money from
poor taxpayers. Nevertheless the
bill encountered only nine adverse
votes in the senate and only thirty
nine in the assembly. When Gov.
Blacks signature is affixed to it, New
York will be counted in among the
few but growing number Of common
wealths which have taken judicious
action in favor of good roads.

NAVAL APPROPRIATION.

The Naval Appropriation bill, which
has just been completed and submitted
for the action of the National House
of Representatives, is the most gen
erous on record in time of peace.
1t provides for a total expenditure
| of $36, 900, 900. This is all in the line
| of regular routine disbursements, and
has nothing to do with the extraordi-
Diary $50, 900, 900 appropriation for
national defence, nor is it contingent
in any way on war with Spain or any
other power. First and foremost,
the bill authorizes the construction of
sixteen new vessels-three first class
battleships, "designed to carry the
heaviest armor and most powerful
ordnance" six large torpedo boat de-
stroyers, six torpedo boats and one
gunboat, the last named to be built
on the great lakes to take the place
of the obsolete Michigan.
The provision for new tonnage
liberal beyond precedent-is the most
important feature of the bill, but
scarcely second to it in interest is the
section authorizing the construction
of four wooden dry docks Of the larg-
est size, one at Portsmouth, N. H., one
at Boston, one at League Island, be-
low Philadelphia, and one at Mare Is
land, near San Francisco, and steel
floating dock at Algiers, in the Mis-
sissippi River, opposite New Orleans.
For the first years work on each of
these docks 100000 of the ultimate
cost of $3.50, 900 is appropriated.
The Bureau of Ordnance is given
about $780, ZOO over and above it's or
dinary allotment for new guns and
ammunition. There are large allow
ances for improving the facilities of
the navy yards. The sum of $4,000 is
set aside for the extension of the
construction plants at each of the
yards at Portsmouth, Boston, New
York, League Island, Norfolk and
Mare Island. The general appropri-
alton of the Bureau of Construction
and Repair is increased from 81, 1,5OO,-
900 to 50, 100000.
All of these items mean substantial
progress in strengthening our naval
resources and improving the efficiency
of the fleet. The bill, moreover,
authorizes an increase of 1850 in the
number of enlisted men and Of $50 in
the number of apprentices. 1t should

tions have been 559 by confession and

membership continues to show loss,
the number O,971 being TT less than

of Christian Endeavor societies is

$40 are $22, 729 less than last year.

The examination of applicants for
admission to the United States Naval

was to have been conducted by Con-
gressman FL. Henry Powers at the Van

Vermont division encampment will
be held in Montpelier June 6, and s.
The encampment will be attended by

Gen. w. G. Veazey died in Wash
1ngtOn last Tuesday. Gen. Veazey was
formerly member of the interstate
commerce commission, but retired
about one year ago on account of
poor health. Mr.. VeaZey was one of
the early department. commanders of
the Grand Army Of the Republic in
the state, and in 1890 he was elected
commander in chief of the g. A. R.
He had held many high positions in
both military and civil life and was a
man highly respected throughout the
theEstate.
John M. Comstock of Chelsea, sta
tistical secretary Of the general con-
vention of Congregational churches
of Vermont, furnishes the following
for the year ending Dec. 81, 1897: No
reports were received from Mont
gomery, Richmond, or the Welch
church in Fair Haven. The number of
churches has risen to 208; the new
names being Halifax and Weathers-
field East, the latter reappearing after
an apparent death of many years.
Forty one churches have installed
pastors; III pastors without installa-
ton, s are served by regular supplies,
10 by hcentiates or ministers of other
denominations, and % are vacant,

SPAIN'S LIABILITY.

E. ]. Phelps, ex- United States min
lister to England, gave his opinion as
to the claim of this country against
Spain for the loss of the Maine, as
follows:
"Had the Maine been blown up
through the agency of Spain, then it
would have an act of war. But that
supposition is not. in my Judgment,
conceivable, and I think tits assumed
that the req ort of the board of inquiry
will reject it. If it shall appear by
the report that the explosion was
caused from the outside, and be the
agency of Spanish subjects, the Unit
ed States government would still have
no claim upon Spain for reparation
unless it could also be shown that the
occurrance was due to the neglect of
the Spanish authorities to afford such
protection against it as, in the exer
else Of ordinary prudence and care,
was requisite and within their power.
s'While the comfy and the usage of
nations admits to their ports the pub
lie vessels of countries with their re-
lations demands tokens of courtesy
and respect, the saftey of such ships
against accident or outrage by parties
is not guaranteed by the nation whose
waters they occupy, and especially
where no reason for apprehending
such an event is known to exist. All
that can be required, where no dan
ger of that sort is anticipated, is that
the usual and ordinary precautions of
police and harbor regulations shall be
observed, and that prompt action
shall follow any warning that is likely
to be necessary.
whether due care has been OBJ
served in these respects is question
of fact to be determined upon by the
evidence and the circumstances of
the case, in regard to which no au
thority of rule can be laid down be-
forehand. The burden of proof, in
case of dispute, is upon the party who
claims that the injury is due to official
neglect. But it would be an unjust
imputation upon the nations concern
ed to anticipate that such a question,
in the case of such calamity, would
not be discussed on both sides with a
fairness and candor that would lead
to the right and satisfactory conclu
sion and avoid any disturbance of the
relations between the countries.

Josiah Grout, Governor of the State
of Vermont, do hereby continue Fast

The Prince of Wales, in his speech
at Cannes, is reported as speaking op-

armies and navies. But the great
naval preparations of England, Rus
sia, France, Germany and Japan, and
the enlarged army appropriations in
England, do not look in that direction.

When the additions contemplated
by the British naval estimates have
been made the navy of Great Britain
will have 100, $50 officers, sailors, coast
guards, apprentices and marines.
Great Britain is determined to main
tain her already great lead on the
seas if men and money will do it, and
she has plenty of both. With the new
enIistments just authorized our navy
will have about one sixth of the force
of that of Great Britain. Great Brit
ain and the United States are the only
two first-c class Powers left who keep
up fleets and armies wholly by vol
untary enlistment in time of peace.

Chaplain Chadwick has finished his
mortuary report, which shows that
257 men and two officers perished in
the explosion on the Maine in Havana
harbor. Six succumbed to their inju-
ries while in hospital in Havana, ,and
one died on a Spanish transport. III
bodies have been recovered from the
wreck, of which 81 have been identi-
fed. 161 have been buried in Colon
cemetery and IL at Key West. This
is the official report, made public after
careful correction, for the first time.
1t is probable that many more identi-
fications will be made when the en-
listment records are compared with
the notes in Chaplain Chadwicks pos
session.
