IT WILL WARM UP.

The Barre Telegram thinks that
the "great fault of the people is that
they do not take enough interest in
state politics. - Now that may be all
true enough; but it is pretty hard,
neighbor, to get the interest up to
the pitch you seem to desire in state
where the margin is as wide as it is
in our own Vermont. If the majority
were only paltry Thousand or two,
either way, then these hills could be
made to tremble with the excitement
engendered in the valleys. But it
cannot be now-we have to take all
our fun, or most of it, before the con-
vention; and once in while, you will
remember, Mr.. Telegram, there comes
year when the interest up to the
very casting of the ballot at conven-
tion gets to be fairly boiling. 1t is
barely possible that next year will be
just that kind of year. There are
some indication of it now. So pos
sess your soul in patience. Maybe we
shall get warmed up sufficiently to
meet the demand involved in your
complaint. - st. Johnsbury Gale

THE SICK IN MANILA,
Surgeon General Reports There Are
Plenty Of Medical Men There.

Surgeon Ge-scraE Reports There Are
Plenty of Medical Men There.
New York, Oct 20.-Thc Washington
correspondent of The Commercial Adver-
tiser says:
In view of dispatches from Hongkong
criticising the medical service in the Phil
ippines, the secretary of war has called
for reports as to the real condition of af-
fairs. The surgeon general informs him
that there are 81 regular army surgeons
in Manila and II contract surgeons, in
addition to the medical officers with each
regiment, making a total of 251 medical
officers either under orders to the Philip
pines or already there, to care for 60, 900
men. There are now in the Philippines
175 doctors for 1,334 enlisted men.
These medical officers are assisted by 9S9
enlisted hospital stewards and nurses
and 20 women nurses. Or hospital tents
there are 1882 on the spot, and 240 are
on the way to Manila. As each of these
tents will accommodate six men without
crowding, 1882 sick soldiers can be cared
for at one time. The largest number of
sick reported by the medical officers in
charge has been 1,S41.
There are four permanent hospitals in
Manila, with 1000 beds. These perma-
nent hospitals have never heen filled, and
the army has accommodations in the hos
ptal tents for more than four times as
many sick as has been reported. The
army with Otis has double the number Of
medical officers usually supplied to an ar
my Of it's size, besides a full regiment Of
hospital stewards and nurses most of
whom have had medical training 1t has
been the policy Of the department when
ever acquisitions have been made to send
double the number of officers asked for
as a precaution against suffering and
neglect. For instance, on Oct 10, DR..
Woodruff. the chief surgeon with Otis,
cabled to the surgeon general that he
needed 20 more medical officers.
The surgeon general responded at once
with 30 regular commissioned medical Of
fcers and 40 assistant surgeons, who
were speedily on their way to Manila.
He also sent 80 more women nurses to
supplement the 20 now in Manila. He
has sent the hospital ships Missouri and
Relief, which have accommodations for
800 sick, with medical officers and nurses
and everything necessary to make them
complete hospitals.

In the House Of Comm ons.

has received a letter from a friend in the
Transvaal, referring to the Mafeking af-
fair as dad business"
In the House Of Commons.
Floor and galleries were densely
crowded in the house of commons in an
ticipation Of a speech by the secretary of
state for the colonies, Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain, on the governments policy in
South Africa.
During the first hour of the session the
first lord of the treasury and government
leader. Mr.. Arthur ]. Balfour. promised
to answer soon a question whether the
government had decided upon a specific
course of action with reference to the
recommendations of the international
commission respecting the future admin
istration of Samoa.
The secretary of state for India, Lord
George Hamilton, replying to a ques-
ton OH tM expenditure for the Indian
troops in South Africa, said the entire
charge would be betrayed out of the i'm
perial exchequer.
Mr.. Balfour in reply to an interpela-
ton as to whether the imperial govern
ment were now reviewing the action OF
the Cape Colony premier, Mr.. w. p.
ltlHtl, ana OtHtI IloIlIueIS VI lAC
Cape government and as to whether the
governor of Cape Colony, Sir Alfred Mil
ner would be allowed to dismiss the
Schreiner ministry, to dissolve the Cape
legislature and temporarily to assume
full authority, said:
This question is apparently founded
upon newspaper reports, for which, so
far as the imperial government are
aware, there is no foundation"
Mr.. Balfour announced that the pres
ent sitting of parliament would be re-
garded as a complete session, to be ter
minated by propagation and not adjourn
ed until February.
Speech by Chamberlain.
Mr. Chamberlain, who was loudly
cheered on rising, began with a severe
criticism Of the action of the Opposition
at the previous meeting of parliament.
Their statements, he said were calcu'
lated to encourage President Kruger's
resistance and to embarrass the govern
ment in most difficult and most critical
functions"
Referring to a demand for the produc.
ton Of his (Mr. Chambcrlain's letter to
Mr.. Hawkesley, he said he would gladly
produce this if Sir William Vernon Har-
court and Mr.. John Morley, who were
members of the South African commit.
tee, demanded it.
Dealing with the criticisms made upon
the South African league, he said he
could not claim acquaintance with
single member of it. The league was one
of the poorest but ut the same time most
representative. political organizations
ever established.
With regard to the allegations respect
ing his own association with Mr.. Cecil
Rhodes, he declared that from the time
of the Jameson raid he had had no COM
