Woodbury. the whole matter of raising the
money necessary was left with the COM
mittee he shall appoint.
b. #. Fifeld presented paper, providing
that the Governor be empowered to go to an
expense not exceeding $4,000, to be signed
by 100 responsible citizens promising to re-
imburse him IL the next Legislature fail so
to do. This paper met with much favor
and the amount was pledged in a few min
utes.
The DAILY JOURNAL went to press We'd
nesday afternoon before the adjournment
OF the meeting held that afternoon in the
Senate chamber, to arrange for reception
to Admiral Dewey. Governor Smith did
not appoint his committee OF one from each
county "Wednesday afternoon, but will do
80 within very few days. He desires the
very best available material, and wished a
little time for consultation.
One OF the last things taken up in the
meeting Wednesday afternoon was the
matter OF sending the National Guard OF
Vermont to New York to take part in the
land parade and reception. After some
discussion it was voted to leave the matter
with the committee of fourteen to be APP
pointed by the Governor. 1t was, how
ever, voted the unanimous sentiment OF
those present that IL is inexpedient to take
the regiment to New York at that time
thus practically settling the question.
Those who spoke on the motion were OF
Smith intends to muster the regiment at
Montpelier when Dewey is here, every
energy should be devoted towards making
a creditable military showing here at that
time, without complicating it with trip to
New York.
Ex-Governor Ormsbee suggested that it
would be we'll IL the State could take some
part in the New York demonstration. On
motion of DR.. Holton of Brattleboro it was
voted that the Governor be authorized to
invite one hundred citizens Of the State to
accompany him to New York when Dewey
arrives, they to pay their own expenses
The necessity for such motion was not APP
parent to many, but it went through with a
rush and the meeting adjourned.

A Rare Volume.

At the auction sale of the personal effects
of the late Benjamin 1. Wheeler, held a,
East Montpelier Thursday afternoon, NJ. A.
Kent, the auctioneer, bid off at nominal
price rare and valuable book. 1t is the
first bound volume of the laws OF Yer.
mont.
These revised statutes were printed a,
Windsor in 1887 by Hough & Spooner
state printers, in a small folio volume, and
reproduced at Bennington by Anthony
Haswell in 1871. 1t is volume OF 32C
pages and contains all previous acts of the
Vermont legislature up to that date. This
book was originally the property OF Col,
Jacob Davis, the first settler of Montpelier.
from whom Mr.. Wheeler was a descend
ant.
Some OF the laws then in force in Yer.
mont would seem harsh and unjust at this
time, one hundred and twelve years later
For the crimes of murder, sodomy, perjury
arson, cutting out the tongue or putting
out an eye, burglary and robbery, the pun.
ishment was death, and for blasphemy the
whipping post.
All towns were obliged to maintain pill.
Tory and stock, under heavy penalty Fol
manslaughIer the penalty was forfeit to
person convicted, forty stripes on the naked
body, and branding the letter IN" with q
red hot iron in the right hand.
Among other rare and valuable articles
disposed OF at this auction were set oil
surveying instruments once owned by Col
Jacob Davis, old china and glass ware, an
tique furniture, fine linen, home made bed
ding, etc.
1t was chance for the relic hunter that
seldom comes, and evidently was not ap.
preciated until 1t was too late.

Dreyfus' Trial,
edeller.

RENNEs, Aug, 8. - The Dreyfus
court-martial resumed its session in Sc
cret this morning. Today an examina-
ton of the fifty-ninth document of the
secret dossier began, 342 papers re-
naming. Dreyfus is showing the
strain of the rigid examination. 1t re-
quires extreme mental application. He
has haunting fear that some point
will escape him or that he will mad
vertantly admit something that will
lead to new conviction. According
to his attorney Dreyfus is surprised
and disconnected at the courts severe
examination. He expected the pro-
ceedings would be brief with no an
noying personal questions.
RENNEs, Aug, 10.-The Dreyfus
court-martial resumed its secret session
this morning, and finished the exami-
nation of ex-Minister of War Chanoine.
1t then began the examination of
Paleologue of the foreign office. Drey-
fus crossed from the prison to Lycee
unaccompanied. At the noon recess,
however, he was guarded by a double
file OF infantry and cavalry. The only
revisionist newspaper in Rennes was
ordered by the department commander
to stop sending copies to the military.
Dreyfus was greatly fatigued after
yesterdays ordeal. He asked anxious.
ly today what the press and public
thought, and was led to think that
opinion is generally favorable.
His counsel did not prepare him for
hostile tribunal and scrutinizng pub
lie. He felt as if X-rays were oeing cast
on him all the time he was under public
gaze. 1t was as if the Utmost thoughts
of his heart were being peered into.
He imagined the proceedings would be
only formal, and that perhaps he might
leave the extemporized court house to
walk to his wife's temporary home.
He was at first greatly depressed to
learn that he would be confronted with

IN THE FAR EAST.

Manila, Aug. 9.--Gen. Macarthur
with four thousand men encountered
an insurgent army six thousand strong
concentrated around San Fernando at
6:l5 this morning. At 10 o'clock he
had driven it five miles in the direction
OF Angeles. The casualties are few.
The attack was ordered for the seventh
instant, but the rain did not permit
movement Of troops. The railway
from Angeles north is badly washed by
the nprecedented food of the last six
weeks and is beyond the ability of the
insurgents to repair.
MANILA, August 9.-American cas-
ualties in the battle near San Fernan-
do this morning are now under forty.
Macarthur continued to drive the in
surgents until he reached Sandatine,
three miles from Angeles, where he is
bivouacked tonight. The advance
will be continued tomorrow at day
light. The progress of our troops is
slow as the roads and fields are flooded.
MANILA, August 11.-General Mac
Arthur's movement after the recent
battle was very successful and served
to clear the country in the rear and
left and right of insurgents. He has
advanced north to Calulet, six miles
from San Fernando, whence he is now
accommodating. His casualties were five
killed and twenty-nine wounded. The
officers wounded are Major Braden,
Capt. Abernethy of the Thirty-sixth
volunteer, leg and arm, moderate |;
Lieut.. Williams, Fifty-frst Iowa, thigh,
moderate. These troops operated to
the left and rear toward Santarita.
Gen. MacArthur's advance under
Wheaton and Liscum, consisted of the
Ninth, Twelfth, Seventeenth, part of
the Twenty-second regiment and por-
ton of the Fifty-first Iowa. The move
ment was very difficult on account of
the mud and surface water. Gen.
Macarthur reports insurgents loss as
100 killed and some 300 wounded.
They were rapidly driven northward
and last evening apparently had aban-
doned Porao line where they blew up
the powder works.
WASHINGTON, Aug, 11.-MacArthur
has taken possession of Santa Rita
He has reconnoitered Porac, Angeles
and other points. The insurgents have
been driven north Condition of the
roads makes the movement of troops

as it virtually gives control of the prov
ince of Bataan ana relieves the inhabit
ants there.
MANILA, Aug. 11.-Insurgent Loss
about Calulut is heavy, estimated at
100 killed. The insurgents were asleeI
when attacked. Americans opened
fire from armored train with Calling;
and revolving cannon. Colonel Bell
25th Cavalry, accompanied by his staff,
entered Angeles in spectacular fashion
last night. Firing revolvers and yell
ing like cowboys, they rode through
the streets and returned to the Amer
lean lines. Early this morning a bat
TALON of 18th infantry with a gun
moved on the town. The rebels ans
wered weakly. After that the town
was seen to be afire and it was believed
it had been evacuated.
MANILA, August 11.-Shortly aftel
noon Macarthur advanced upon ant
took Angeles.
MANILA, Aug. 11.-From southern
Luzon report comes that an Ameri

a crowd OF hostile witnesses. and that
the trial mig hit last a fortnight or three
weeks, or even longer. Then, steel
ing himself, he cried: "You must
prove yourself man, Dreyfus. You
must struggle for your honor and not
give in until you have cleared ii once
forever. But what have you done
Dreyfus to make people thus rend you?
Were you born under malignant star?
If 80, fight against fate and wrestle till
you have thrown the evil angel"
From long habit he speaks to him
self when intending to converse with
visitors.
RENNEs, Aug. 1.-THE examina-
ton of the secret dossier was finished
by the Dreyfus court-martial after
two hours session this morning. To-
morrow the second open session of the
court is believed to be the most i'm
portant day of the trial, as it will test
the strength of the prosecution. The
| former president, Cassimir Perier, and
possibly General MERCER will testify.
1t is rumored that Perier, as a result of
later investigation, has new evidence
compromising leading general. 1t
is the general belief that the Dreyfus
affair Is about to claim one more vio-
lent death on account of fresh expos
nres expected at the trial. Max Nor
dau said to your correspondent today:
81 have telegraphed Berlin for evil
dence to dispose of the statement to be
made by witness that the day Drey-
fus was arrested note was seen in the
palace at Potsdam in the Emperor's
handwriting referring to that spy
Dreyfus.' The judges here are mere
wooden dolls but will acquit Dreyfus.
The latter is a sick man going only on
nerve. He will go entirely to pieces
when the ordeal is over.
