that into the Alaska dispute has crept
the craftiness of Russian diplomacy.
Russia, it can be stated, will do every

prevent the practical cohesion of the
two great English-spealsing nations.

And soft compliments, and all.
How anxiousy did we ask her

To many gray-haired Tabby
Since then we have said the same.
And often we sat and grumbled
Like the old f, lks, with knitted brow,
or how much better were old times
Than those that we live in now;
How that faith and hope and charity
Had fed from the world in fear;
And, oh! how scarce was the money,
And wasn't everything dear!
All, gone are the plays of childhood!
All seems to have left with youth.
The world and the times and the money,
And even faith, love, and truth!

Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1899-01-20

President Mckinley sent to Congress on
Tuesday message recounting as "anolher
glorious page in the history of American
seamen," the valorous deeds of the officers
and men of the revenue cutter Bear in
rescuing the imperilled whaling fleet in
Arctic waters last year. The President
tells of the fitting cut of the expedition
under Captain Francis Tuttle, of the rev.
enue cutter service, the dangers and diff
culties of the trip, and of the overland ex-
pedition "with no refuge but at the end of
the Journey" which carried relief to 275
distressed American citizens. 1t is no less
a pleasure, the President says, to call at
tentiOn to this "vctory of peace" than II
has been to recount the valorous deeds of
our heroes in battles on land and sea. In
he asks the thanks of Congress
for the officers and men of the relief expedi-
tion, with gold medals of honor, for them
and $500 in money for the reward of
native herdsmen who gave their aid.

Praise for Gen. wood.

The Greenfield Gazette says editorially
that major Gen. Leonard Wood, Mass
achusetts man by birth, has demonstrated
as military governor of Santiago Province,
how much can be accomplished for Cuba
when the administration of its affairs is
placed in the hands of a man of wisdom,
tact and executive ability" Gen. Wood
is deserving of all the praise that is being
showered upon him, but the Gazette is in
error in referring to him as a Massachu-
setts man by birth. lie is a native of Win
chester Y. H., but a large part Of his boy
hood was spent on Cape Cod, near Grover
Cleveand's summer home, and his mother
lives there nov. Gen. Wood graduated
from Harvard medical school at an early
age and built up successful practice be-
fore he entered the army as a surgeon, a
position which his father had filed. One
of Gen. Woods greatest admirers is Gen.
Castillo of the Cuban army, who is now in
Washington. He declares that with four
or five American generals like Wood in
Cuba to look after the interests of the gov
ernment and to give the Cubans lessons in
the management of their own affairs, Cuba
would be absolutely free and independent
within short time. Gen. Castillo says
Santiago has made more progress in the
past five months under the administration
OF Gen. Wood than it did in the 80 years
previous to the Cuban war. An aqueduct
has been constructed, the sewerage sys-
TEN perfected, the city made healthy, and
miles of concrete and asphalt pavement
have been laid. In addition the streets
are clean for the first time in their history.
Gen. Wood has not only carried on these
works, but has raised the necessary rev.
enue 70 pay the men employed.

Mr.. Hoar,s Rasnln,Inn

Senator Hoar introduced the following
resolution in the Senate Saturday:
ReSolred, That the people If the
Philippine islands of right ought to
be free and independent; that they
are absolyed from all allegiance to
the Spanish crown, and that all politi-
cal connection between them and Spain is
and ought to be totally dissolved, and that
they have therefore full power to do all
acts and things which independent states
may of right do that it is their right to
institute new government for themselves,
laying its foundation on such principles
and organizing its powers in such form as
to them shall seem most likely to effect
their safety and happiness; and that with
these rights the people of the United
States don't propose to interfere.
II should like to have it adopted i'm
mediately," said Mr.. Hoar.

Congress.
Senator Ross OF Vermont Took the Oath
of Office on Monday.


Both branches adopted resolutions ex-
pressing sorrow for the death of Represent
ative Dingley last Saturday and adjourned
as a token of respect for his memory. In
The Senate Mr. Hoar introduced a resolu-
tion declaring that the people of the Philip
pines OF right ought to be free and inde-
pendent.
On Monday occurred the state funeral
Of Mr.. Dingley, held in the House. On
returning to its chamber at O'Clock, and
after the reading of the journal, Senator
Proctor presented the credentials of Jona-
than Ross, appointed by Gov. Smith of

pines were not in mind at the time of the
declaration of war.

The Exact status OF Cuba.
From the Hartford Oourant.l

We are not annexing Cuba at present.
Cuba has ceased to be Spanish colonial
possession, whether the Senate ratifies
the treaty of Paris or not, but it has not
become an American possession-still less
an American territory. 1t is alien
territory, foreign country occupied
for the time being by American troops,
and administered for the time be-
ing by military agents of the President of
the United States, for certain distinctly de.
fined purposes of which annexation is not
one. This is the present state of affairs,
and 1t is reasonably sure to continue for
years to come. The solution of the prob
lem of the ultimate political future of Cuba
is the 10th century's affair. Meanwhile
Cuba is no more part of the American
Union, throughout which (the constitu-
tion says) all duties, imposts and excises
shall be uniform, than Jamaica is. 1t re-
mains foreign country, and the ratifca-
tion of the treaty by the Senate would
leave it-s-fcgeign country.

What the Navy Went to War For.

Capt. Evans ('fghting Bob'), who COM
manded the bat,leship Iowa during the
war with Spain, made a characteristic
speech at the banquet given in honor of
Gen. Leonard Wood at the Union League
club in New York Tuesday night. He is
quoted as saying
''Gen. Wood and the army of the United
States went TO war TO free the Cubans.
The navy didn't do anything of the sort.
We didn't have our leg pulled in that way.
We went to war to lick the Spaniards be-
cause they sunk the Maine and am not
ashamed to say so. That was really the
reason why We went to war: that is TO say,
We went because the President of the
United States told us to do so; but the
feeling at the bottom of our hearts was
that we would lick those yellow devils be-
cause they sunk the Maine, and we did
lick them.
'We all went through with our part of
the performance, and am glad to say that
We had, during it all, canned beef, refrig-
Grated beef and embalmed beef, and the
rest of it, and we had 90 per cent of well
men all the way through. We never got
ashore in Cuba for a minute, but in our
crowd we used to say we wished we could
get there.
"Now, we are perfectly willing to turn
the whole business over to the army, and
when Gen. Wood says, or intimates, that
the Cubans can ever govern themselves, l
dissent absolutely.
81 honestly believe-and don't suppose
that am going out of line as a naval Of
hcer when | say so-that when the time
comes that the government of the United
States can guarantee a stable government
in Cuba you will find it inhabited by Yam
KEGS that belong to the United States"

A bronze medal will be struck by order
of Congress for Admiral Dewey and his
officers and men in recognition of their
services in the Philippines. Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts introduced the
resolution calling for the medal. The de-
sign was made by Daniel c. French, the
New England sculptor, who created the
famous statue of the minute man at Con-
cord bridge. On one side is the picture of
typical American sailor sitting upon
cannon and holding in his hands an Amer
ican flag. The inscription on this side is
"In memory of the victory of Manila Bay,
May l, 1895" On the other side is the
picture of Dewey in full uniform and this
inscription 1.-THE gift of the people of
the United States to the officers and men

The White Star line steamship Oceanic,
which was launched Saturday at Belfast,
Ireland, is the longest ship ever built. Be-
fore the Oceanic, the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse of the North German LLOYD COM
pany was the largest ship to be launched
since the time of the Great Eastern, and a
comparison in size, tonnage and steam
power of the three ships is interesting:
Ton Horse
1Iest yt Eastern $50 30 70 1900 27oO
Oecaoic 7oi 9s - 200 4sSOo
1t Is said that her builders expect the
Oceanic to cross the Atlantic in four and a
half days and that she will consume about
700 tons of coal a day on the trip. All
that they will say of her expected speed is
that they look for her to be sure Wednes-
dap boat, thus allowing her a week for a
trip in all weathers. The movement to-
ward the building of big ships both for
ocean and lake traffic is constant, and the
White Star line will have in the Oceanic
the biggest of all passenger vessels, while
at the same time they have in the Cymric
launched in October, the largest of freight
steamers. The Afric, a sister ship to the
Cymric, is nearly ready to launch. The first
regular liner was the Cunarder Britannia,
which SAILED from Liverpool July 4, 1s4O
Other vessels noted in their day were the
Britannia (lS74), 455 feet long, 1904 tons,
$3.50 horse power; the Arizona Qs79), AGA

A Philippine Commission.

The President has appointed commits
sion of five members, consisting of Presi-
dent Schurman of Cornell university, Ad-
miral Dewey, Gen. Otis, Col. Charles
DENLY and Prof. Dean c. Worcester of
the university of Michigan, who will sail
for the Philippines about February 1st, to
study the manners and habits of the
Filipinos, the material resources of the
country and its commercial possibilities,
but they will not attempt to deal with the
problem of government for the islands.
The President has been anxious for
some time to have commission of this
sort upon whose information he could re-
ly. The personnel of the commission is
considered excellent from the standpoint
of expert knowledge. Admiral Dewey
and Gen. Otis have, of course, become
familiar with the practical side of the
Philippine problem. Col DENLY was for
many years minister to China, and is
thoroughly familiar with the people and
many of the problems of the Orient.
Prof. Worcester has lived for years in the
Philippines and has written book on the
Philippines which is considered standard
reference work

1t is estimated that the 1S9S tobacco
crop will put 50 800, 900 to s., 900, 900 into
the pockets of Connecticut Valley growers.
About three -fourths Of the crop has been
bought, the prices ranging from 10 to %
cents, q higher t1.la those of any year ex-
cept 1892. Some farmers in Massachusetts,
and Connecticut are reported to have
cleared from $4,000 to $1,000 each. The
1897 crop was raised at loss, on account
of the unfavorable weather. and the result
was decreased acreage in 1898. The pre-
diction is frequently made that the acreage
of 1899 will be the largest on record in the
valley.
