MOST POPULAR LADY.
Can Stock Brooks.

By provision of the last session OF
the Vermont legislature it is possible for
property owner to stock any brook or
body of water on his land with young
fish, purchased at his own expense, then
post his brook or sheet of water and
render all those. who fish in such streams
trespassers and liable to Il fine of : 10 in
addition to damage for trespass. If he
has not stocked his streams with fish of
his own buying he can post his grounds
or streams and have arrested as tres
passers all those who may fish without
permission and collect for damages, but
in that event such trespasser is not liable
to the fine of $40 in addition. This latter
clause is practically what has existed
for some time past but the stocking with
fish privately purchased is new idea'
This new feature from the standpoint
of property owner is considered good
thing. The ordinary disciple of the
famous Izaak Walton, however. does
not favor it and EXPIRE 'ses himself freely
of his contempt.-Rutland News.

MANY MORE TROOPS NEEDED.
So Says II Manila Dispatch Coming by
Why of HOngkong.

Manila, via HOngkong April Ii
Though hundreds of Filpinos are daily
returning to their homes and are desir-
Gus of resuming peaceful pursuits and
though the proclamation issued by the
United States Philippine commission
has given an impetus to this movement,
the war is far from ended. One of the
foremost American generals said re-
Gently. "We will see 100000 soldiers in
the Philippines before the Americans
control the islands," and majority of
the army are of his opinion.
1t is generally considered that great
re-enforcements are necessary, there
not being a sufficient number of Amer
lean troops in the archipelago to make
conquest of the island Of LuZon and
hold the ports occupied, and it is
thought that it would he cheaper in the
long run and have a better effect upon
the natives to establish American SUI
premacy effectually and quickly than to
temporize with score Of rebellions.
All the stories told by prisoners and
friendly natives agree that majority
of the insurgents would be glad to quit,
hut that there are enough professional
revolutionists left to infest the country
with bands of hundreds of men and to
demoralze business for years to come.
Some high Americans believe tnat the
government would wisely expend mon
ey in buying Aguinaldo and his clique
of influential Filpinos.
Foreigners in Manila think the Amer
leans are too optimistic as to the effects
of the proclamation. They say that the
weakness of the proclamation lies in the
fact that the natives have SO long dealt
with the Spaniards that they are unable
to realize what its words mean and that
the purport of it's promises is anything
but a snare.
A majority of the United States vol
unteers are eager to return home, and
we did not enlist to fight niggers' is
remark that is constantly heard. While
braver work than they are doing is i'm
possible to find, there is small glory in
guerrilla warfare, the dangers and
hardshps of which cannot be appre-
ciated at home. The volunteers construe
their enlistment "tO the close of the
war; to apply to the war with Spain
and wish to be relieved by regulars.
The Spanish system of defending Ma
Mia Ivy a line of blockhouses may be
adopted by the American authorities
here during the wet season, as it re-
Juires fewer men than the trench de-
fenses and lessons the chances of sick
ness among the defenders.
Lieutenant Steunenberg of the Idaho
regiment, n brother of the governor of
Idaho, has been placed on trial by court
martial for calling Major Higgins a
coward in the presence of his company.
1t is expected that he will be dismissed
from the service.
