Horse Thief In Montpelier

| Liveryman Frank Bean of Montpelier
after some hesitation let horse Friday
afternoon to man who arrived on the
express from the south. The next he
heard from his team was when officer
Demeritt told him Saturday afternoon
that he had been notified by telephone
that the sheriff in Bolton Center, p O.,
had detained a man with team about
noon that day, suspecting he had, stolen
it, The officer also telephoned that the
fellow admitted the theft but would not
give his name.
He said he got the team from Mont
pelier liveryman but whose name as
given was unknown to Officer Demeritt
He, however. started out on tour Of
inquiry among the livery stables OF the
city. The stolen horse was described
as being small bay mare with white
star in her forehead. BY strange
coincidence, two OF the city liveryman
had horses out which tailed y ith the
description. E. l.. Pulney WAS lhe first
VINO had his fears aroused lesi il be his
horse but these Were diSp"lIed la.er by
the return of the animal.
Liveryman Frank Bean was not so
fortunate, and after more lelephoniug
he became convinced it was his horse
which had been stolen.
After telephoning to Putnamsvile
where his team was supposed to be, and
finding it was not there, he learned that
it had been seen at sundown Friday on
Hardwo ood Flats. He decided then that
the man must have driven all night to
cover the hundred odd miles necessary
to cross the Canadian border.
Bean had papers made out and was 20
lug after his team Sunday morning but |
he received word that the alleged thief |
had escaped by jumping from window
in the hotel where he was confined. |
Mr.. Bean went after his horse Monday !
morning.

DIPLOMACY IN SAMOA.
Bartlett Tripp Tells How the Commits
sion Went to Work.
WHITE MAN TO BE RULER,
1t Is Hoped That Now the Native
kinEship Has Been Abolished
Peace VIII he Perma-
nent In the Island.

Chicago, Aug. S.-A dispatch to The
Tribune from San Francisco says tha,
Bartlett Tripp and Baron Sternberg, the
American and German members of the
Samoan commission, who arrived there
on Sunday on the United States steam.
snip Badger, will leave for Washington
at once. On board the Badger are 3, 500
rifles which the commissioners took from,
the followers of Mataafa and Malietoa
Tanu. In speaking about these arms,
Mr.. Trip said:
1he commissioners, on their arrival at
Apia on May 13 last, saw at once that
the natives would have to be disarmed
II peace was to be restored and the COM
mission placed i'll position to accom-
pllsh anything definite. All the white
people on the islands, including the naval
ohlclals and the missionaries, thought
disarmament was impossible. The COM
mlssloners made up their minds to have it
done. Mataafa and his chiefs were sound
ed on the subject. They were told that
the Malietoa Tanu people would be COM
PEELED to give UP their arms if they did
so. Negotiations were carried on quietly.
but in determined manner.
The Mataafa people wanted to know
If they would receive pay for their guns.
We had no power to reimburse them. We
promised, however, that after peace was
established and we returned home they
should be compensated for their arms or
the latter would be restored to them.
Many Guns Surrendered.
"On May 81 last the Mataafa people
surrendered to us POO guns. General
surprise was expressed ut their action.
The Malietoa Tanu faction IA day later
surrendered their arms, the latter includ-
ing 100 rifles from the English men-of-
war at Apia. The Mataafa people soon
came in with the remainder of their
weapons. The commissioners will recon-
mend that the natives be paid for the
guns.
Now as to the form of government
the commissioners have decided upon for
the Samoan islands, we think we lave
accomplished something definite. l can
not talk about what we have agreed up-
on. Only three copies of the propt srd
FORM of government are in existence.
These are N the possession of the three
commissioners and are intended for their
respective governments. While in a gem
eral way some of the features of this
proposed form of government are known.
it is not true that the document has been
given out for publication here or any
where else.
THE proposed government provides for
Il white man as administrator of the is
lands, the governor general, in other
words. He will take the place Of a Sa-
moan king. Much of the trouble in the
islands has been due to the fact that the
natives have always had an elective in
stead of hereditary king. The natives
realize that fact themselves. Malietoa
having resigned as king, that trouble
cone or''"stion is now at an end.

REVOLUTION FEARED.

Bandera.

Havana, Sept. 1O.-Qunintin Bandera
still remains in Havana His stay
causes no little trouble among the lead
ing Cuban politicians of all parties. ow-
ing to the formation Of a new party in
the provinces. Moreover, Gualberto
Gomez, by his threat to form a third
Havana party, has forced premature
union between the Cuban National
league and the Cuban national party.
Although the white Cubans assert that
there is no likelihood of any race
troubles in Cuba, still the amount of
space that all the newspapers have Civ
en- to the newly founded negro party of
late, goes to show a belief that the
eastern provinces could seriously af
feet the future of the island. and politi-
clans are watching every movement of
Bandera closely by special detectives.
Considering the former relations be-
tween Bandera and Gomez, many claim
the recent trouble was the result of a
deep laid scheme. The opponents of
Gen. Gomez contend that he looks to
the eastern provinces as the principal
sources of fighting power, knowins,
that Bandera has a strong following Of
former negro insurgents Their the
DRY is that Gomez is ready to conciliate
Bandera with a view to a possible in

INCREASED TRADE.
Exports to Newly Acquired Territory
Larger Than Ever Before,

Washington, Sept. 1O.-The war de-
partment made public today a state
ment of trade between the United
States and all countries under military
rule. The imports into Cuba for the
United states will be larger than the
exports from the United States to that
islahd in any fiscal year in the entire
history of the trade between this conn
Try and Cuba. The imports into the
united States from Cuba from January
l to July 81 1899, were greater than the
corresponding imports for the entire
nscal years 1897 and 1885, If the same
ratio is maintained for the remainder
OF this year, the imports into this coun-
try from Cuba will exceed thirty-two
million dollars, or more than double
those of the year ending June 30 1893.
Inc imports from Porto Rico into the
United States for the first seven
months of 1899 were larger than those
OF any Of the preceding entire fiscal
years since 1890, excepting 1893, while
the exports to Porto Rico for the first
seven months of 1899, have been exceed
ed only by three of the fiscal years
since 1887
AS FAR as the exports from the United
states to the Philippines are concerned
for the first seven months under Ameri-
can occupation, they're larger than for
any previous year in our history.
Not only this, but they are more IA n
double those of any year excepting a
ly the years 1912, 1854, 1870 and 1872

BIG CHANGE MADE.
Providence Division Trains Run in
South Terminal Now.


At one minute past twelve, yesterday
morning, the passenger business of the
Providence division of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford system was
conveyed from the Park square station
to the South terminal in Boston. The
last train that left was the 1903 New
York express.
1t had been decided to make the
change on the 3D. but owing to cir
cumstances, it was postponed till yes
terday. The change was made on sun
day because of the smaller number of
trains, and in order to get the tower
men accustomed to the extra work of
Monday
The tracks set aside for the exclusive
use of the Providence division are Nos.
s to 10, though in entering the station
such regularity will not at all times be
possible.
The division of the 1871 week day
trains is as follows: Boston and Albany.
l9l, Plymouth division of the ConsoIi-
dated, 1874; Midland division Gold New
England, 81; and the Providence diyi-
sion, 271. The Sunday movement will
be: Boston and Albany, Sc; Plymouth
division, 81; Midland division Is; and
the Providence division, 65.
A real estate problem of Importance
is presented by the great area. some
100000 square feet, comprised in the
Providence Railroad lands between
Park square and Dartmouth street.
such an extent Of vacant land so near
the heart of the city, has never before
been available for Improvement in Bos-
ton and perhaps never will be again.
The disposal made of it is of far-reach-
ing Importance to the community.

HONORS FOR WILLARD.
Asked to Paint Portraits Of
Massachusetts Gov
errors.
ernorS.

William Willard, the famous portrait
painter of sturbridge, Mass, has been
offered the contract to paint the por-
traits of all the governors Of Massa-
chusetts from the time of John Endi-
cott to the popular governor, Roger
Wolcott
In a letter received from Gov. VOL
colt by Mr.. Willard, no reference is
asked as to the artists abilities, and all
that it calls for is the acceptance of the
contract by the artist.
A short time ago it was decided by
the state authorities that the portraits
of all governors of Massachusetts
should be painted and hung in the new
section OF the state house, and after a
great deal of consideration, Gov. VOL
colt decided that Mr. Willard was the
man to DO the work.
In the letter signed personally by the
governor, it states that there is not the
slightest doubt but what Mr.. Willard
is the man for the. work and if he is
willing to sign the contract and start on
the work, that will be all that is neces-
sary to make it binding.
The price offered is slightly under the
usual price the artist gets for his Dor
traits, but he viii accept it, he says. if
for no other reason than to do what he
can to show persons of later days what
art really is. MIR. Willard is an artist
OF the old school, and does not even
consider some of the new tangled ideas
used by the later day portrait paint
ers. His pictures have received the
highest praise all over the country
wherever they have been exhibited His
one speciality is portrait work, and it
is said by good critics that his work.
especially in the harmony of color, can
not be beaten.
The receipt Of the letter has been
made known to but few by the artist.
but they could not keep the recogni-
ton of his lifelong study from the pub
lie, and it leaked out yesterday.
Mr.. Willard will accept the offer he
says, and although it will be a big I'M
dertaking, he is certain he can do JUS
tice to it. The price offered is $500 for
each picture, including frame.
