Tn, Vermont Mutual.

The annual meeting of the Vermont
Mutual Fire Insurance company was held
at the home office in Montpelier Wednes-
day.
The report Of the directors of the condi-
tions existing at the close Of the fiscal
year ending Aug l. 1893, shows that the
fire waste Ia the state, and the losses 90 all
insurance companies during the last year
has been greater than for many previous
years. In the last half month Of the fiscal
year, more than go lightning losses were
reported which have been adjusted or so
closely estimated that it was found by using
a portion Of the accumulated surplus a four
per cent assessment for the year would
raise money enough to meet all claims of
every name and nature to Aug. | last.
The business of the year has been the
largest the company has ever done, the
number Of policies issued being II .479; ad-
vance premiums received, Sj1, 5000: pre-
MUM notes taken Aug. /, 1898, to Aug 1,
1889, SLID ,9Si; premium notes in force
Aug /, 1899, 81, $50, 302, insuring property
to the amount Of $l4 ,466, 1871; amount at
risk Aug. /, 1899, sol 7s3, $40.
The old board Of officers were reelected
namely, Fred f. Smith, president; james
7. Sabin, secretary; W. I. Dewey, treas
urer.
Directors were chosen from the different
counties. including J. Il. Judson, Benning

a Private soldiers Idea OF the SItua.
lion.

Earl Greene of Montpelier is a volunteer
in the army service in the Philippines.
He is a brother of Lester II. Greene,
well known Montpelier merchant. He
evidently has ideas of his own and
knows how to express them. In recent
letter to his brother he says: "The ants
at home have simply raised h with the
situation here, discouraged our men and
encouraged our enemies. Even admitting
the soundness of their views they are
guilty of the highest treason and hundreds
of deaths must of necessity be laid at their
door.
Many of the soldiers, he continues,
would be glad to 60 home to civil life, but
they cannot do so until peace has been
won and made permanent, and they are
entitled to be encouraged and upheld rather
than to be branded as "murderers, robbers,
and desperadoes." In a little time the
natives themselves will admit that the real
prosperity of the island has dated from the
coming of the Americanos, this war will
Ego down into history as truly war for
humanity" and "the disgruntled politicians
who are now endeavoring TO mislead the
public for their own personal advantage
will be relegated to the treacherous class
to which they belong, and thought Of only
in connection with Benedict Arnold and
| his ilk.n

Mir.Iess TeIegraphy.

Signor Marcon gave again Monday a
marvellous exhibition Of the value OF the
wireless telegraph system Hidden by fog
out on the ocean, he sent elec.rica i'm
pulses through the air which carried the
news to Sandy Hook, and thence to tele-
graph stations all over the world of the
movements of the Shamrock and Column
bia. The Marconi system gave exact news,
and so promptly that a movement OF the
yachts could scarcely be executed before the
report Of the change had been posted on
bulletin boards. The turn OF the outward
buoy and the crossing Of the finish line
were posted within five minutes of the date
of the despatch giving the time of these
events. The system has been so success
full in these yacht races that its application
to certain commercial purposes and TO the
war appliances OF the government will be
encouraged. Wireless telegraphy Is not
expected to take the place of either land
lines or cables, but it can be used for pur-
poses for which land lines and cables are
impracticable, and will make field of its
own, now that its value has been indispu-
tably demonstrated before the whole world.

Commission offered AguInaIdo,

Perry S. Heath, first assistant postmas-
ter general, has written letter to the
Michigan Republican Newspaper associa-
tion, in which he says: There has never
been a moment since Dewey steamed into
Manila bay and annihiated the Spanish
fleet that AguinadO aud his followers
could not have had peace, protection and
such share IN the government as they de-
served. But this did not suit them. Pres
ident McKinley's instructions were that
Agunaldo should be given a commission
in our army and that he and those asso-
cated with him should be treated as our
citizens. Yet this did not satisfy his Gu
pidity. From the first to the last Presi-
dent Mckinley has consulted with Admir-
al Dewey as to the situation in the Phil
ippines, and in almost every case has been
guided by his advice. He has appointed
two commissions and exhausted every
method of honorable adjustment. He
stands today as he has from the beginning,
for peace first and the settlement of the
question of government afterward."

Frightened Farmer Killed mImseIf.

Enoch Willard, 70, farmer living neal
the Salmon Falls river on the Maine side
of the line, had frequently done errands
for men employed in building a canal there,
and it is supposed that on few occasions
he brought liquor, merely as an accommo-
dation to the men. From this grew a sto-
ry that he was selling liquor, and warrant
was issued and officers visited his farm.
While they were searching the farmer
swallowed a quantity of strychnine, which
caused death in short time. He had new,
err before come in contact with the law, and
it is believed that, frightened by its tsrrors,
he preferred to die rather than to face
court proceedings.
