SENATOR ROSS.

The senatorial appointment offered
Hon. B. F. Fifie1d by Gov. Smith has
been refused by Mr.. Fifield for personal
reasons, and the office has been Of
fered to and accepted by Chief Justice
Ross of St. Johnsbury. Judge Ross
is man of great ability, sound, con-
servative and will fill the position
with honor to himself and credit to
his state. He was born in Waterford,
VT, April 80, 1926. He received the
excellent education impaired in the
common schools of Vermont, and fit
ted for college in the st. Johnsbury
academy. He graduated from Dart
mouth college in 1851. After gradua-
tion from college, he taught in Crafts
bury and was principal of the acad-
emy at Chelsea for some time.
While residing in the latter town he
entered the Office of Judge William
Hebard for the study of law, and was
admitted to the bar of Orange county,
Jan. 18, 1856, and Immediately formed
partnership with A. j. Willard, Esq.
of st Johnsbury, which continued two
years. At the conclusion of that
period he practiced by himself until
1865, when he became associated with
G. A. Burbank. This connection
lasted for II months, and it was sue
ceeded by a partnership with W. P.
Smith. The latter relation existed
until the following year, when Mr..
Ross wrs elected a judge of the su-
preme court of Vermont. Judge
Ross has taken an active and
influential part in the public affairs
of Vermont. In 1865 81 he was
sent to the legislature as the repre-
sentative of st. Johnsbury, and he
served efficiently on the judiciary and
other committees. In 1870 he was
elected to the state senate, and in
the same year he was elected assist
ant judge of the supreme court.
In 1890 he was elected chief judge of
the supreme court, which position he
has continued to fill worthily up to
the present time.

The Havana correspondent of the
Journal cables the result of an inter
view he had with General Castellanos.
the retiring governor general of Cuba.
Among other things, General Castel-
1anos said: ST cannot speak too highly
of the members of the American COM
mission and the American officers 1
have met. General Brooke is a gen
tleman and so are the rest of them.
The work which they had to do was
difficult and tedious, but they have
accomplished it we'll. They have
shown a delicate appreciation of the
position of the Spaniards, and have
tried hard not to wound our feelings,
For them all I can never have any
but the greatest sense of gratitude.
Between myself and the Ameri can
Government of Cuba there can never
be the slightest controv ersy while a
single Spanish soldier remains on the
island. cannot speak in the same
terms of the American people or
American Government. They have
not treated Spain honorably or fairly.
Those of us who have lived in Cuba
and have watched the end of Spanish
rule know that my opinion is the
correct one. History will prove that
we were right as to the future of Cuba

A washington despatch to the
Herald says Sir Julian Paunceforte,
the British Ambassador, will remain
accredited to the United States
another year beginning in April. This
unusual action on the part of the
British government arises from its
deep interest in the negotiations for
the abrogation of the Clayton -Bulwer
treaty and new treaty guarantee
ing the neutrality of the proposed
Nicaraguan Canal, with which Sir
Julian is so familiar. Sir Julian
would naturally have been retired
last spring, but the British govern
ment, as mark of friendship, and
| because of the critical condition of
! the relations between the United
! States and Spain, determined to re-
tain him here for another year. The
negotiations with reference to the
Nicaraguan Canal are now in such
shape that it would be difficult for a
successor to Sir Julian to handle
them properly. In view of this fact,
Lord Salisbury has directed that he be
retained in Washington, and the en-
bassy has received fficial word to
this effect. Great Britain does not
propose to relinquish, without COM
pensation the rights conferred npon
her in the proposed canal by the
Clayton Bulwer treaty. She desires
it to be understood that the canal must
be neutral in war as we'll as in peace for
she appreciates the Importance of
such waterway in case Of hostilities
in the far east. The administration
is quite willing that the canal shall be
strictly neutral, and there will be no
difficulty, it is expected, in reaching
a satisfactory conclusion on this point.
The Senate committee on foreign
relations today authorized Senator
Davis to report the peace treaty fa-
vorably without amendment last
Wednesday. The committee was in
session only an hour and the greater
part of this time was consumed in
waiting for quorum. There was
only bare quorum of the committee
present, but Senators Morgan and
Gray were the only democrats in
attendance but the other democratic
members of the com mittee, Senators
Daniel, Mills and Turpie, had full
notice of the purpose of the meeting
and they indicated no opposition to
action. There was no suggestion of
any amendment in committee.
Senator Davis was instructed to press
the treaty upon the attention of the
Senate with a view of securing as
early an action as possible The
committee also authorized Senator
Davis to report favorably upon the
proposition to remove the Injunction
of secrecy.

1t may or may not be comforting to
the relatives and friends of Professor
Andree to be assured that the aeronaut
who constructed the great balloon be-
lieves the missing scientist and his
companions to have crossed the north
pole and landed on the other side.
The average person is apt to inquire
how the situation would be materially
improved even could proof of Andree's
existence be given. Having reached
the north pole, the problem Of how to
get back would still remain to be
solved before the world could hope to
benefit by the intrepid explorers feat.

Elated at the success of my marks
manship, 1 made my way down the
bank and found the tiger dead. By
dint of hard tugging, dew the body
ashore.
There I left it while the afternoon
sun was waning, and made for camp
with speed that came partly of my
impression that tigers generally travel
in pairs. If there was another about
the place I was willing to leave it
alone, in case it should not hunt me.
But next morning two Cossack rod
men went back with me to the scene
of my "kill," and with their assistance
drew the dead tiger completely out
of the water and removed the skin.
AS subsequently cured, it measures
an inch over eight feet in length. not
including the tail, and has an average
breadth of about five feet and half.

An Office Boys SincCure.

A man Of New York City got around
a novel difficulty in q novel way re-
Gently. He is rich, and when his fam
lily exerted pressure to have him take
up the practice of the law he demurred.
At last, however, he consented. A
handsome Office was taken downtown
and properly furnished. An Office boy
was hired. Then the man went forth
and bought up the entire stock of
dime novels in a neighboring store.
These the man showed to the Office
boy, telling him that it would be his
duty to spend SO many hours in the
place every day reading them. The
youth grinned with anticipation. Since
that day the man has visited the place
about once a week, to find an occa-
sional letter. He has always found
the Office boy at his post. The supply
of "shockers" will last for months to
come. The lawyers family is salts
fed. And everybody is happy. The
only thing that troubles the man is
the fear lest some friend should insist
on employing him in Ii real lawsuit
or put him to the trouble Of drawing
a will.-New York Sun.

Electricity For the Pyramids.

Lighting the Pyramids of Egypt
with electricity and the installation OF
q $4,000 horsepower plant, to cost
some $lO0,O 900, is plan now under
consideration by the British Govern
ment, and an American firm is likely
to receive the contract.
AS outlined, the plan includes the
generation of electric power at the
Assouan Falls, on the Nile River, and
it's transmission distance Of 100
miles through the cotton growing dis
tricts, where, it is believed, the cheap
power will permit the building of cot
ton factories. 1t is planned to use
the power to illuminate the interior
corridors of the Pyramids, and also
operate pumping machinery for irri'
eating large areas of desert along the
Nile.-Engineering News.
