ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.

ST. Louis purposes to give an inter-
national exhibition i'll 1908, to cele-
brate the Tooth anniversary of the
purchase of the territory known in
1903 as Louisiana. To facilitate get
ting an appropriation from Congress,
banquet was given last week in
Washington. To it every member of
the present and new Congress was in
vited. Many of them attended.
The chief speech was made by ex-
Governor Francis Of Missouri. He
said that the Louisiana purchase now
contained one fifth of the population
of the United States, and still it's ter
ritory was sparsely settled. On be-
half of st. Louis, he said, he was au-
thorized to say that the people of that
city pledge themselves to raise at
least $40, 900, 900 toward preparing for
such an international exposition as
will fifty commemorate the Louisiana
purchase, provided the Federal Gov
ernment would grant its recognition
of the exposition and give evidence of
its good will and support by lending
to the exposition company $5,OOO.oOO.
This loan, he said, could be hedged
about with such safeguards as Cong
ress may determine. There was no
objection to making it conditional on
$1O,000,O 900 being previously provided
by the city of st. Louis, nor would
there be opposition to the further con-
dition that the Federal Government
must berepaid it's advance of $5, ,0OO,-
900 before any payment is made TO the
subscribers or to the city of st. Louis
''The Columbian Exposition" said the
speaker, chad expended about $780,
10000 when its gates were opened on
May 1, 1898; we think that with $15,-
O0O,OO and the benefit of Chicago's
experience we can accomplish as
much Or more than she did with $2O,-

lands. She has also caused her repre-
sentative in Samoa to apologize for
his conduct during the recent trouble
there. The admiral in command of
the German fleet, who made himself
SO obnoxious to Admiral Dewey while
he was blockading Manila harbor has
been informed, so it is stated, that if
he had taken less offensive course it
would have been more welcome to his
government. Had the United States
met with some severe reverses during
the war it may be that Germany would
have taken advantage of them to as
sumo a more arrogant attitude, but
with the success encountered by our
arms she has wisely concluded that
discretion is the better part of valor.

Daniel Abbott, of Plainfield is minus
a dozen barrels of hard cider that the

He will also serve 80 days at Rutland

towns.
A general shut down of all the gran
ite works in Barre occurred Wednes-
day morning at o'clock and soon a
large number of cutters and black
smiths were on the streets discussing
the situation. 1t was a great surprise
to the community when the news
spread about the city that nearly 1900
granite cutters and tool sharpeners
were idle and that while no strike was
yet in running order an agreement
had not been reached between the
tool lsharpeners and dealers, hence the
cause of the idleness.

fri ghten the prisoner. Blodgett, who
is noted for his practical jokes, enlist
ed about dozen ZEN to make up a
vigilance committee and fake lynch
ing party. His previous reputation
and the fact that the officer knew him
is all that pr evented him from being
shot. Now that the facts are all
brought to light it was evident it was
only done for a little fun. AS has al
ready been proven, Blodgett's rifle
was not loa ded, but Sheriff Graves
says even if meant for little joke, it
cannot be pa ssed unnoticed. 81 have
about twenty deputies under me in
the State and to protect them and
myself from any more such occuren-
ences propose to make an example
of this case. If had not been acquaint-
ed with Blodgett he would have been
a dead man to- day."

An eventful period in the countrv's

An eventful period in the country's
history is covered by the work of the
55th Congress. This Congress de-
clared war against foreign foe, and
the treaty making branch partici pat
ed in ratifying the treaty by which the
war was terminated. 1t provided a
great volunteer army, enlarged th e
regular army and expanded the navy
to meet war emergencies and new
conditions. The tariff has been re-
vised, first by the Dingley law and
then by the war revenue act; bond
issue, known as the war loan, has
been provided. But far reaching as
these war measures are, the Congress
has had time also to enact other leg
islation which under ordinary circum-
stances would make it's session mem
orable. This includes the annexation
of Hawaii; the rejection by the Sen
ate of the general treaty of arbitra
ton with Great Britain; the enact
ment of national bankruptcy law;
provision for taking the 18th census;
reorganization of the personnel of
the navy.

Premier Sagasta has handed the
resignation of the Spanish ministry to
the Queen, because of the opposition
in the Chambers against the cession
of the Philippines to the United States.
Although it makes the Spaniards
squirm some to pay for their folly in
bringing on the war yet in the end
they will come to time. They know
there is nothing to gain by refusing
to confirm TIE treaty as they are in
no condition to renew the war, and
they have utterly failed in trying to
get help from European nations.

The Senate made some radical
changes in the naval bill as passed
by the House. The price to be paid
by the government for armor plate
was reduced from $445 per ton to $500
per ton. In case of the refusal of the
armor plate manufacturers to furnish
the armor at this rate the government
is to construct factory for the man
ufacture of its own armor plate, the
factory to cost 81 10000 and $2,OOO,-
600 is placed under the control of the
Secretary for the operation of this
plant.
