says That the Special Commission Has
Nothing to do with Acquiring u Right
of Way For the RutIand-Cana-
dian Company.

The decision of the Supreme Court in
the matter of the scope of the commits
sion appointed by them to adjust the diff
hcultics between the Rutland-Cauadian
and Central Vermont railroads in arrang-
ing for "A joint use of tracks to the tunnel
or for crossing of the two roads near
the tunnel was received at the office of
the county clerk Monday morning. The
commission, it will be remembered, met in
this city and a partial hearing in the mat
ter was held. when 1t was found that the
Rutland-Canadian company did not desire
to secure Il traffic arrangement. They
wanted Il crossing near the tunnel and
were also prepared to hold that the com
mission had the right to assess the and
damages from their occupancy of Lake
street, the crossing of the several side
tracks of the Central Vermont now in
place there rs well as the actual crossing
of the two main lines. With this the
commission did not agree and reported the
condition of affairs to the Supreme Court.
A special session of the court was held in
this city a few weeks ago at which the
question was argued by Attorney Wilds
for the Central Vermont and Button and
Button for the Rutland Canadian.
The question upon which the matter
went to the Supreme Court had to do with

VERMONT STILL AT THE FRONT.

VERMONT STILL AT THE FRONT.
(Rev. Alfred j. Hough in lions HeraldJ
Ships? What ships are these that, haillng.
Fling their pennons to the breeze?
All the States in glory sailing
Through the deep of Western seas.
Mark that vessel proudly gliding
Like the sun through mornings gates.
That's -"Olympia" '-guiding
Leading all the fleet of States
Never vessels sailed more proudly,
Never guns doomed out more loudly,
But Vermont in front is steaming!
High above her wales and fountains,
At the mast head of her mountains,
See her AdmiraPs colors streaming!
Dewey comes! a mighty nation,
Many-tongued. but now as one,
Rises up with proud citation,
And salutes her hero-son.
All across the peopled spaces,
once baptized with blood and tears,
Rings one voice from many races.
Rolling like "A sea of cheers;
But the tender chords that thrill it,
And the mellow tones that fiji IT.
Could they flow from any other
State in all the wide communion
OF this nation in deep union,
Than Vermont, George Dcwey's mother?
Greet him. all the brave the fairest
Hail him, martial, civic bands!
He is worthy of the rarest
Richest welcome at your hands.
Let the cannon boom their loudest,
Trumpets blare and banners fly,
Let the triumphal arch, the proudest
Hail him as he passes by!
But Vermont, because she bore him.
Breathes a benediction DER him
Hers the deepest salutation.
For she reared him, wrought and nodded
All his splendid powers unfolded,
Then gave Dewey to the nation.
Go thy way, the way of honor,
Let the nation see thy face,
1t has shed light upon her
| Standing in her lofty place.
But when ends thy latest meeting
! AS the Nations peerless guest,
George come home, receive the greeting
/ OF the hearts that love thee best!
All the valleys wait to meet thee,
All the mountains rise to greet thee,
And the naples flame in splendor!
There's no welcome like to brothers,
There's no love just like thy mothers,
| Old Vermont, the brave, the tender!
once before-you know the story
Bearing full the battles brunt,
Wiping out defeat with glory,
Old Vermont was at the front
on the land or on the ocean,
Leading army, leading fleet,
| Age to age Vermonts devotion
| TO the flag shall still repeat.
As to-day so hence forever.
BY the right of grand endeaVor,
On her sons and God relying,

Notwithstanding the general opinion
that IL was a very cold month, the mean

O'Clock Tuesday morning by an alarm
from box %. The blaze is supposed to
have started from defective gasolene
stove attached to pottery kiln in the
art studio Of Mrs. f. A. owen at lis North
Union street. The, fire was well under
way before the firemen arrived and had
eaten its way up the ceilings to the attic.
which made it difficult to extinguish. The
fire was confined to the rear part of the
house and the damage is estimator at
about $500, with no insurance The house
is unoccupied and is used by Mrs. owen
as an art studio and a class room for her

ADMIRAL DIEDRICKs DEPosRD
Prince Frederick In Command OF the
German AsIatic Squadron

Berlin, March Ga high Official of
the German department has informed
the correspondent here Of the Associa-
tedPress that the appointment OF Prince
Henry of Prussia, brother of Emperor
William, to the command OF the East
Asiatic squadron, has been considered
for months past n has finally decid-
ed upon him as being the most availa-
BILE, the Emperor desiring to show the
American people that he is thoroughly
friendly to them, knowing that Prince
Henry is popular in the United States.
When the Official referred to was
asked whether the appointment was
equivalent to the disgrace OF Admiral
Won Diedrichs, he said: Not exactly.
Ii Admiral Won Diedrichs had shown
more tact last summer before Manila
it would un~deniably have been pro-
ductive of good results all round. Our
government, unfortunately. was advis-
ed too late of a number OF occurrences
before Manila, one of which were
really important, but, they showed
grave want of tact upon Admiral O
Diedrichs' part. The main trouble
was that Admiral von Diedrichs was
insuficiently informed regarding in
ternational naval usages In such a del
icate situation. Consequently he con-
tinued naval movements, drill and
searchlight practice as IL elsewhere
than in a blockade port, thus arousing
distrust upon the part OF the Ameri-
cans"
The above is important, rs being the
first German official admission that
there has been trouble between the
Germans and Americans in Manila bay.
The first regular appointed German
naval attachee at Washington. Won
Rebeur Peschwitz, starts for New
York tomorrow on board the North
