Trip of the Kentucky From New

BOSTON. Nov. 22.-The battleship Ken
lucky anchored off Boston light at $3.50 this
morning. She had a rough passage from

eEoRGIA's PROHIBITION BILL.
The Measure Passes the House With
Five Votes to Spare.

ATLANTA. Ga. Nov. 22.-The Willing
ham prohibition bill was passed by the
House this afternoon by vote Of 9S &c 60
1t was only with margin Of FIVE votes
over the necessary two-third majority that
the bill passed, but it had been recognized
all the morning that the contest would be
a close one and the friends of the measure
were rejoiced a its success. Eighty eight
votes were required for constitutional
majority. When the result was announced
by Speaker Little the galleries went wild.
In the midst Of the rejoicing the oppon-
ents Of the measure were attempting to
derive a grain Of comfort from the fact
that the bill had yet to go to the Senate,
where they hoped and believed il would
meet its death. The bill. as it passed. was
exactly as Mr.. Willingham and his friends
wanted it,
The debate abounded with bitter person
alities There Is little probability that the

By Admiral Crowninshield, nor that the
former believes it was on any other

understand the Admiral's letter to the
bureau chief in question. which is report
ed to read as follows
There has come TO my notice q copy OF the
United States Naval Institute which contains
su article by Lieut.. G. g.. talklu-. purporL-
ing t. he an historical account OF the opera

As IT contains statements facts conflicting with
my official reports ] consider it necessary that
thr department viii request the Naval Institute
10 publish In its next issue my official report OF
the battle 0f Manila Bay. which is absolutely
correct IN all essentials
The above communication does not re-
quire comment Whether Admiral Dewey
realizes the fact or not. evidences are muI-
tiplying that the individuals who have con
sidered it necessary to persecute Schley in
order TO create a soil in which to grow
money-now regard it as also necessary to
belirtle the highest officer Of the service
to the same end The whole matter is one
that can hardly escape the attention and
action OF the Fifty-siyth Congress.
The conditions which obtained on the
horror transport Tartar were so infa-
nous that the chances are there may be
q little yardarm business for a court
martial to transact in the premises. Sec
reJaTy Root is having the matter inyes-
tigated and the developments are likely
to be hideously sensational when pub
lished Similar stories are life concern
ing the latest voyage of the transport
Newport. But Otis still enjoys the con-
tidence of the Administration.
Failing TO iucite the American Govern
ment to aggressions against Great Britain,
our honest old friend. Paul Kruger. is
deriving much satisfaction from making
Pretoria as uncomfortable as possible for
our Consul If the old gentleman does not
take it into his head TO regard Mr.. Macrum
as Britisher and spy. the latter will be
lucky. The peculiar Christian civilization
of the Transvaal does not seem to have
been laid on quite as thick as some of our
sympathizing citizens have imagined.
If We read the latest Otis dispatches
Alright, that remarkable general is at
length convinced that Aguinaldo and his
family Of two hundred persons mostly wo-
men and children, have escaped between
Young and Wheaton and are making excel
lent tine in the direction Of Bayomhong
with our cavalry hot on their heels. 1t is
probably too late for Otis to interfere with
the pursuit and it may, therefore, be
successful

EDITOR EVENING TELEGRAM.
DEAR SIR:-I have the pleasure to
hand you herewith a list of names of
men who enlisted in the army in the
war of the rebellion who were natives
or residents of the Old Town of Barre
at the time of their enlistment. 1t is
the desire of His Honor, the Mayor,
that this list be published sufficient
length of time so that it may be brought
to the notice Of eveyone, and the public
are requested to make such corrections
as they may discover, or such additions
to the list as may be necessary. 1t is
the desire of all that this list should be
absolutely correct. Much time and
care has been expended on this list by
three old soldiers as natives of Barre.
viz: Albert +. Dodge, John w. Averill
and Nathan Harrington, and much
credit is due them for their work. but
all men err, and so we thus publicly
invite criticism. If parties having
friends who have been old citizens now
living at distance will send copies of
this paper to them for inspection it will
aid greatly in the accomplishment of
the work. Any suggestion will be
gratefully received by
Respectfully yours,
GEORGE T. CONNER,
Commander II. B. CrandalI Post, 56,
&. A. r.
| P. SIT is understood that native
of Barre, although he enlisted in some
organization outside the State, is en-
titled to recognition in this list of honor.
