AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

At the Paris exposition the central
power station will be 1900 feet long
and 12O feet wide. There will be $4,000
steam horse power and $4,000 electrical
horse power. The steam will be supplied
at a pressure of 142 pounds per square
inch. Electricity will be supplied at
voltages of 125, ESQ and 500 for direct,
and 2,2oO for alternating currents.
The mining exhibits at the Paris ex-
position will be most interesting. There
will be two realistic representations
and demonstrations Of the art of min
ing. A shaft five feet in diameter will
serve regular mine workings, and all
of the machinery will be of the regular
type in actual use in mines. Visitors
will also have the opportunity Of Wis
iting the catacombs under the city.
One Of the most important Amer
lean exhibitions at the Paris exposi-
ton will be model, some 20 feet long,
of the Chicago drainage canal. Ia con-
nection with this will be shown models
of all the great variety of excavating
and conveying machinery which was
used in this important engineering
work. The models will be shown in
operation, and it is believed that 1t
will be one of the most interesting of all
the engineering exhibitions at the ex'
position.

THE VERY BEST OF REASONS.

In replying to an editorial of the
Bdrre Times the Rutland Daily
NeaUs says: FEThe EUeni'og Neeus is
not trying to convince any one of any
thing relative to the senatorial con-
test. 1t has only said what no one
can successfully deny: That General
Grout has served with distinctio in
the house and to the great acceptance
of his constituents, and that he is the
logical successor to the seat made
vacant by the death Of Senator Morrill,.
It has also commended to Ex-Gover-
nor Dillingham; and his friends the
advice given by different papers, that
the governor take an election to the
house, for which, it seems to be we'll
understood, General Grout will not
again be acandidate. When the end is
reached, and before, 1t will be seen
whether or not this is good advice.
Not merely "half dozen reasons"
but reasons "plenty as blackberries"
can be given why in preference to all
other candidates General Grout should d
go to the senate; reasons to be found
is his ability and experience and his
distinguished public record, which is
full of them, and if contest cannot be
avoided the Times shall have an Op-
portunity to match reasons to its
hearts content. For the present the
Evening NeaUs stands on the ground
that General CIRCUITS satisfactory SER
vice in the house for more than
sixteen years, on the whole more satis-
factory than that of any represent
ative from this state since Justin S.
Morrill,, naturally suggests him as the
dead senator's successor. This makes
what lawyers call a prima facie case
in favor of Grout, and it is believed
the people of the state will SO accept
it and say to Dillingham; and his
friends, "The burden is on you to
show why in accordance with the
custom of the state the able and faith
full member of the house should not
be promoted to the senate; the bur-
den is on you to show better solution
of the problem than to elect the ex-
perienced and popular member of the
second district"

STATE FAIR.

The days of fine weather helped
make the 49th annual Vermont state
fair at White River Junction one of
the most successful in it's history
The premiums and purses were large
ly increased, giving a strong stimulus
to exhibitors, and all the departments
were we'll filed. There were a large
number of entries Of sheep and graded
cattle and a good show of Jerseys.
horses and swine.
The exhibit and parade of Morgan
horses was new and noteworthy fea-
ture, to which $500 in premiums was
devoted, and some magnificent an
imals we're shown.
The races were the best for years.

PAGE-POWERS.

To divert attention from his own
political industry, the order has ap-
parently gone forth from Morrisville
headquarters that the cry be raised
all along the line that "Gov. Page is
precipitating an untimely Con-
gressional contest" To measure the
full length and depth of the in
sincerity Of this allegation, one only
need to consult the local columns of
the First District newspapers. They
bear testimony to the fact that since
Judge Powers return from Wash
ington last spring, he has visited all
the hooks and corners of the district,
some of them several times over, and
his moro injudicious shoutings have
for at least three months past pro-
claimed the fact CD that this, that
and the other section of the district
was ''solld for Powers"
The Judge has had practically
nothing else to do except to attend to
his fences, and his industry in this
line has been unsurpassed. We have
it from authority which we regard as
reliable that he made a house to
house canvass by team in the town of
Wolcott only last week. How does
this look in the light of his cry of
precipitating contest?
Because the newspapers are friendly
to Gov. Pages cancidacy-and they
comprise nearly the entire state
press-have seen fit to express them
selves, the Judge rushes into print
and tells the public that their repre-
sentative has been "attacked by Gov.
Page" Meanwhile his friends are
doing their level best to divert atten-
tion from his Industrious fence re-
pairing by shouting that "Gov. Page
is precipitating the congressional
too early"
And yet Gov. Page is at home seven
days in the week attending to his
legitimate usiness.-Woterbury Rec
ord.
The Governor is one of those men
whose fences do not need attention
on his own part, they will be looked |
after by the voters of the state whom |
he has served faithfully and well in |
the years past.

CALEDONIA COUNTY FAIR.

The Caledonia county fair opened
Tuesday morning and, as usual, the
crowd was small the first day. In
many of the departments the entries
were ahead of last year. This was
true of the entries of poultry, sheep,
| oxen and steers and perhaps in some
| of the other departments. In horses
and COWS there were a good number.
Speedwell Farms enters some of their
| fine coach horses and Congressman
Grout enters for exhibition only his
prize winning stallion Henry S., some
of his colts and some matched pairs.
In the sheep department besides a
large exhibit of Dorset Horned from
Speedwell Farms and some grades
from E. Ell. Hoffman, G. III. Hinton OF
East Charleston entered a flock of
Leicesters, an entirely new bred this
fair.
The largest exhibitor of poultry was
M. A. Jenkins of Bradford who show
ed some 40 entries of fancy fowles.
E. & T. Fairbanks and Go. had their
fine herd of jerseys and George @.
Cary had big showing of grades.
The exhibit of M. M. Tatro attracted
much attention and consisted of thor
oughbred jerseys and English Berk-
shire pigs. This stock is bred at the
Sulphur Spring stock farm at West
Concord. The jerseys and pigs came
from the Hood farm at Lowell, Mass,
and were registered stock. The Sec
ond day of the fair was very success
full, about 5000 people being on the
grounds during the day. Although
there was slight rain in the morning
the weather cleared and left the track
in good condition for the afternoon
races. The races were good and only
the county green race was finished.
Jennie took first money, Baby Frank
lin second and Fanny P. third. Time,
2:43. A balloon ascension was made |
in the afternoon. The races Friday
were as follows; 2:35 class, Lucy Sim
monds, first; Conundrum, second;
North Star, third. Best time, 2;265. |
2:18 class, Sailor Boy, first; Henry's
Girl, second; L. A. H.. third. Best
time 2:19 ID. 800 class, Clip, first;
second; Lady Miller, third.
best time 2:344. The remainder of
the races were postponed until the
following day.

The Chinese government has lodged
with the state department an emphat-
ic protest against the military order
of General Otis excluding Chinese
from the Philippines. Neither the
state department nor the Chinese
legation will give any information
concerning the protest but from en-
tirely reliable quarters it is learned
that General OTIS action is contrary
to international law, in violation of
existing treaties and in complete dis
regard of the friendly relations which
have been so long maintained between
the two countries.

Charles A. Prouty, Interstate Com
missioner, has a card in the st. Johns
bury Republican announcing that he
is to be a candidate for the office Of
senator at the expiration Of the time
for which Judge Ross was appointed.
AS Mr.. Prouty is from Newport it
might seem to one unacquainted with
the situation that this might make a
break in Orleans county which has
hitherto been solid in the support of
W. w. Grout. Mr.. Prouty has many
friends in this county who from a
personal standpoint would gladly aid
him but loyalty to the highest interests
of the state demands that they sup
port the candidate who is best fitted
in every way to hold this Office, and
approaching the ability, past success
and experience of Gen. Grout, and
believing him to be most worthy sue
cessor to the late Senator Morrill, they
will give him their hearty support
and the ranks will remain unbroken.

Spain's reputation of her Cuban
debt comes rather more uncerimoni-
ously than was expected, and hence
betrays an exceedingly desperate state
of financial affairs. The same action
followed the unsuccessful insurrectior
of 186s-78; but creditors were con-
suited with them and the default took
the form of so per cent. "scaling'' of
the debt. Now the bondholders are
