Hon. John Barrett.

The people not only Of this section blu
of the entire country have heard a great
deal of late about the Hon. John Barrett,
late United States minister to Siam. Mr..
Barrett came to Below, Falls Wednesday
night and went to Vermont Academy
where he delivered an address Thursday
morning. As all in this vicinity know, he
is native of Grafton, and Thursday after
noon he went to visit the scenes of his boy
hood and early youth. This afternoon
from to 6 o'clock reception will be
given him by his fellow townsmen. Next
Monday he goes to Hanover to attend the
tenth reunion Of his college class. Later
he will 60 to Montpelier and Burlington,
and will visit bis grandfather, w. R. San
ford, at Orwell. In month or so he will
return to New York and Washington and
in the fall will 60 to his home in Portland,
Ore. Mr.. Barrett says that although he
has been out of New England for ten years
he has not lost interest in his native state.
Mr.. Barrett graduated from Dartmouth
college in 1889 and the same year went to
Oakland, Cal, as professor of English in
Hopkins Academy. Later he went to
Seattle, Wash and finally to Portland,
Ore, where he was associate editor on the
Evening Telegram. On his arrival at the
Pacific coast he became interested in the
possibilities OF trade in the East and in
1890 visited HAWAII, Japan and China.
Mr.. Barrett tells how he happened to
be democrat, although born republican.
He was student at Vermont Academy in
1928 and in 1884 went to Worcester
Academy in Worcester, Mass, where he
fitted for college. While in Massachusetts,
be became acquainted with the late Hon.
William E. Russell and became a persona
friend. His associations with this eminent
man led him to espouse democratic prin-
ciples, During Mr.. Cleveland's last term
of office he was appointed United States
minister to Siam and his connection with
the famous Cheek case and final diplomatic
triumph are well known to all.
During his stay in the East Mr.. Barrett
travelled extensively and made addresses
before many commercial bodies, his one
object being, he says, to further American
interests in what he considered the great
market of the world. Early in May, 1898,
soon after the battle of Manila, he went to
the Philippines and was guest of Admiral
Dewey on various ships ct his feet until
the tall of Manila, August Is. when he
made bis headquarters in the city He
arrived in New York last May 10, since
which time he has addressed several of the
principal chambers of commerce and COM
mercial bodies 10 the largest cities of the
country.
Mr.. Barrett is writing book on "Amer-
ica's Interests in the Far East" which will
be published by Harper Bros. in the fall.
In the July number cf the North American
Review be will have an article, entitled
''America, the First Power OF the Pac' fc,"
and in the July number of the Review of
Reviews, ''Some Phases of the Philippine
Situation" In October Harper's Monthly |
will contain an article from bis pen, entitled |

Logs and Low Water.

The International Paper company have
their log drive OF 1900, 900 feet piled in
North Walpole or securely bo,med on the
west side OF the river above the pile. The
first logs OF the Connecticut River com.
pany's drive went over the dam Thursday
morning, but owing to the almost unprece-
denied low water, there was trouble forth.
with, Loud blasting of logs and rocks
was heard all day and by night it became
generally known that the log company
would r. qu're all the water Accordingly
yesterday morning at 4 80 O'Clock all the
water YVES shut out of the canal and not a
wheel turned under the hill until about
$50 p NJ There was such stiff south
WIND that very little progress was made in
rushing the logs and so the water wa, let
into the canal two hours earlier than WAS
planned. Indications now are that all the
water will have to b, used in hoatinp the
logs during the next three or four weeks
and consequently all the mills will have to
shut down during the day time and can
only work during nights. This is a very
dubious outlook for the paper companies
all Of which have large number of orders
ahead. 1t also effects the electric light
company which is unable to furnish either
power or light during the day time. This
shuts down the wrapper factory, the
TIMES Office, Truax & Co., Ray Bros, E.
R. Ball and all depending on light or
power. And worse yet, it is rumored
that there is possibility that the log COM
pany will demand the use OF the water
both day and night. Logmen say that
the Connecticut River company has
l60, 100000 feet in its drive and there are
some 100000 or SO,OOo,OOO feet to
leave at Turner'S Falls, making a total Of
so, 100000 feet or more. The upper end
OF the drive is at White River, and the
Connecticut between there and Bellows
Falls is pretty we'll filed with logs.

Annual Episcopal Convention.

The annual convention of the Episcopal
diocese was held in Trinity church, Rutland
Wednesday and Thursday. TIE e wa, an
average attendance but very little business
of more than routine importance was trans
acted. Rev. w. T. Weeks OF Brandon
was elected secretary and Rev. j. o

Falls, Rev. G. Y. Bliss OF Burlington. E.
l.. Temple of Rutland, H. L. Ward Of
Burlington aud c. E Parker of Vergennes.
The report OF the con..Li ee on funds
showed the trust funds OF h iocese to
amount to $50, 200. A new trust fund has
been created during the year, called the
Gale X. Brewer trust fund. A fam of
400 acres at Euosburgh was given to the
diocese by Caleb r. Brewer on the condi-
ton that the diocese pay to Mr.. Brewer or
his wife an annuity of 5000 as long as
either of them lives. The income of the
property is to be used for mission work.
Rev. Allan ID. Brown of Mortified pro-
posed an amendment to the canons OF the
diocese granting women the right to vote
in annual parish meetings. THIS provoked
an animated discussion. The matter was
finally referred to a special committee to
report at the next convention to be held In
