that fine of fifty dollars is imposed
for fishing, or attempting to fish, in
such permanently closed waters. So
far in the history of trout culture look
inc towards the repopulation OF our
trout streams, this is the most sensible
act of the Vermont legislature. The
act itself is an axiom and need not be
/ fortified by any long-winded argument
4 1t is self-eyident, if the small breeding
brooks are closed and kept closed, that
the streams below will become popu-
lated. With this idea in view, the
land owners on Alder Meadow brook
in Granville, Addison county, petit
toned the Fish and Game commission
ers to close said brook under Act No.
so of 1898. The commissioners visited
the locality, conferred with the petit
TONERS, examined the brook from its
source to its confluence with White
river and granted the petition. Alder
Meadow brook they found to be a
mountain stream of pure spring water
about l-2 miles in length, flowing
principally through a wild and pictur-
esque mountain ravine on the lands

that company having constructed an
easy grade lumber road the entire
length OF the brook. The road is well
built and is of itself delightful drive
and is much used by the public travel
ing between Granville and Warren.
The commissioners found the brook TO
be an ideal breeding place tor the ma
tive trout and express desire that
people in other sections of the state
will take advantage of No. 80, Acts of
1898
Il appears that during the period of
six years Alder Meadow brook was
closed, the White river, to which it is
tributary, in the town Of Granville af-
forded very fine fishing. The com
missioners believe that if all the small [
tributaries 10 the White river from

nently closed, good fishing in White 1

Our Canadian cousins are terribly
wrought up because we will not sub
nit the Alaskan boundary dispute
to arbitration They talk real loud
and even hint at war, at which Uncle
sam can afford to smile To some il
may seem strange that our govern
ment will not agree to arbitrate the
question, it, as we claim, we have a
good case. The truth is, while we be-
lieve fully that there is not particle
OF reason in the Canadian claim, we
do fear that a neutral board would
give the Canadians some little con-
oession to effect a satisfactory sou-
ton, and the situation as to the terri
tory in dispute is such that this is the
very thing we want to prevent. The
Klondike gold regions are almost
wholly Just over the Canadian border
from Alaska, but we hold all the avail
able avenues of ingress or egress, and
really command the situation because
of this. If Canada makes unreason-
able regulations as to mining duties.
etc, we can retaliate in way that will
be felt. We have not put forward any
claims to new territory, it is Canada
that has for the manifest purpose of
securing a seaport. All official maps
until very recently conformed to our
present claims. We are in possession
and our government takes the view
that it would be as unreasonable TO
arbitrate concerning the Vermont and
Canadian line as that of Alaska. Cam
ada has failed utterly in the effort to
interest the mother country in the con-
roversy and will have to fight her own

The death of Col. Ingersoll has start
ed anew the interest and talk about
his religious skepticism. He was the
leader of modern active agnosticism-
that class which says concerning Chris
tianity and all other forms OF religion,
1T may be true. but we see no conclu-
siye evidence of it, and we decline to
believe it. The whole is an unfath-
enable mystery Ingersoll attacked
Christianity sayagely, held it up to
ridicule and scorn and held that it was
a survival of ancient superstition and
ghost-worship, oppressive of human
thought, reason and liberty. His lee
lures We're bold, critical and strong in
his kind of logic. He has undoubtedly
been responsible for great dealof the
weakening in religious thought and
spirit that prevails in America today.
Except for this, lngersoll was a model
man, upright in life, "A loving husband
and father, kind and firm friend OF
the poor and distressed and highly
moral in all his qualities. If all who
have heard him speak or read his
works could have possessed his own
natural strength of character for the
conquest of temptation and sin. the
effects of his doctrines might not have
been injurious, but whatever charge
may be laid at the door of religion, no
one doubts that it is the strongest NOR
al force in the world today and that its
overthrow and the substitution of the
alternative nothing would be the very
greatest OF calamities.

! The peace conference mas accom-
plished rather more than was predict ed
of it.. The original project of its in
ceptor, the car, that of universal dis
armament, failed entirely at the first.
Jealousy, distrust, and some other at
tributes OF human nature are still too
strong to permit nations to throw down
their arms and trust TO arbitration or
diplomacy to settle their disputes, or
even to limit in any way the extension
of the military and naval systems.
With this point settled early, however,
il was possible to approach other and
less chimerical questions in the proper
light and with the proper spirit. An
agreement was reached in regard to
the establishment Of a permanent
board Of arbitration before which con.
testing nations can appear for the set
Element Of their disputes. There is
nothing obligatory about it, however,
and it may not accomplish much in
actual results. The whole plan has
not yet been published. Some other
agreements were reached as to the |
conduct of war so as to make It less
barbarous. The several governments
will be asked TO enact into a treaty the
findings of the conference. On the |
whole, it has been good thing, es-
pecially as showing the tendency OF the
age.

ELECTIONS TO THE CORTES
GOVERNMENT EXPECTED TO GET
 o5O OUT OF 40 SEATS.
Senor Sngasta Returned by Q Small Ma- jority from His Bfrthplace-Senor Cas- teIIar, the Distinguished Republican Statesman, Defeated-Socialists Poll and Increased Vote.

Madrid, April 17.--Judging from the returns iron, the elections for new members of the cortes thus far received the government may be expected to get 25O seats out of 40 seats. Two hundred and forty-three ministerialists have been elected, including 1S0 Silvelists, thirty-three Polaviejists and thirty Pl- dalists. The opposition returns include eighty-six liberals, thirty Gamaziests, eighteen Teutanists, fifteen republicans, five Romersts and four Carlists. In Madrid five conservatives and three lib- erals have beer elected.
 Senor Sagasta has been returned by small majority for his birthplace, Lo- grone, capital of the province of that name, after sharp contest with re- publican. The republicans elected in- clude Prof. Salmeron, Senor Margall, Senor Azocarette, Senor Ortega.
 For the first time since 1868 Senor Romero Robledo failed to get seat, Senor Emilia Castellar, the distinguish ed republican statesman, was defeated at Murcia. He is badly disappointed at the non-success of the republican candi- dates as party. The socialists have been defeated, but they polled an in creased vote. There was a good deal of bribery at Bilbao, and in the rioting at Tortorsa, southwest of Tarrangona, two persons were killed and severa in- iured.

Experience of John Fl. IIannn on His

New York, April 1.-The steam yacht Sagamore of the New York Yacht club with John H. Hanan and party of friends, arrived here this morning after an extended cruise in West Indian wa ters. On April 14 when seventy miles north of Bermuda the Sagamore fell in with the dsmasted brig Caspian of Charlottetown, P. F. l., Captain Cor don, from Halifax for Jacksonville launched the yachts cutter and rescued Captain Gordon, the crew of six men and the captains wife and child, nine persons all told, and brought them to this port. Captain Gordon of the Cas- plan reported having sailed from Hali- fax March 30 for Jacksonville in ballast. All went well until April 5th off Hat teras, when the vessel was struck by a cyclonic squall from the northward which carried away the spars at the deck, leaving the vessel a complete wreck. The vessel was in a helpless condition and for nine days drifted about the ocean. No vessels passed close enough to be hailed until April 14, when the Sagamore appeared and made the rescue.

Cream Cakps Poison d Them

Newton, Mass, April 17.--Local phy- sicians have been busy to-day caring for more than a score of cases of illness which have developed here since Satur- day among patrons of Watertown bake shop, at which the affected ones purchased cream cakes. The affair has caused much agitation in Newton and the authorities are trying to find out all the circumstances in connection with the matter. In every instance the vic- tims had partaken of the cream cakes alleged to have been purchased from the same baker. It is claimed that only active work on the part of the physi- clans prevented dangerous results in many cases. The baker claims that some one unknown to him introduced poison into the cakes after they left the store.

THE TRIAL OF MRS. GEORGE
4 DECISION THAT WILL M1TERI-
 ALLT LENGTHEN THE CASE.
The Relations of the Accused and of the Murdered Man to be eAdmitted--StrOng InttmRtion That the Lines of Defense Will be Temporary Emotional In- sanity.

Canton, O., April 1.-The state con- cluded it's direct testimony against Mrs. George, charged with murdering Mrs, McKinley's brother this afternoon. There was strong intimation that the lines of defense will be temporary emo- tional insanity. This came when the bench announced that the testimony bearing on the relations between the accused and Saxton dating back as far as the eighties would be admitted, if insanity was to be the defense. It was further admissible, he said, on the grounds of reconciliation and also be- cause the state had shown some of these relations. This decision practical ly opens the doors for all of what has heretofore been regarded as doubtful testimony. The defense is now permit ted to show all of the relations exist ing between Saxton and Mrs George and this will involve the litigation in which Sample c. George, the former husband, is concerned. It is further in- ferred that the ruling will permit the state in rebuttal to go into similar tes- timony regarding the former life of the accused and the effect will be materially to lengthen the proceedings.

A Conference Held.

A conference of the republican sena- tors and members voting for Senator Quay was held here to-day to consider the letter of Senator Quinn, chairman of the anti-Quay republican organiza- tion, suggesting that committee of conference be named on the part of those voting for MT. Quay to confer with a like committee on the part ot those opposing him, with view of ad- iusting factional differences and the election of senator. There was large attendance of legislators and re- publican politicians from all over the state.
 Senator Grady read letter from ex- Senator Quay, written at Philadelphia to-day, in which MT. Quay deprecated any change in the position by his fol- lowers in the legislature, pending pro- ceedings in Philadelphia. He said: Anyone who would change position now might as well come here and go on the witness stand against me" Contin- uing, he said: ITO temporize with those persons who for three months have pre- vented the election of a senator from Pennsylvania would extricate them from the abyss into which they have plunged. Instead of making their treason to the party obvious, their treason would be made respectable
 Speeches were made by United States Senator Penrose and others contending that MT. Quay was the regular nominee of the joint republican caucus and was entitled to the support of every republi- can in the legislature. Senator Magee of Pittsburg declared that the republi- cans should get together and elect 8 senator before the adjournment of the legislature on Thursday. Representa- tive Hosack of Pittsburg announced that he would not hereafter vote for Quay The meeting declined to confer with the anti-Quay members and adopt ed resolution declaring that MT. Quay was the unanimous choice of the repub- lican caucus composed of more than thirds of all the republicans of the assembly and it was the duty of all re- publican members of the joint conven- tion to sustain the republican organiza- tion by supporting the caucus nominee and calling upon those now opposed to the regular candidate to lay aside fac tional feeling and unite in the election of republican to the United States senate.
