mont's Dewey day daWned clear overhead
and with the balmy atmosphere of Indian
summer weather, bringing joy to 3O,0 800 or
more people who have come here to help
the state welcome home her famous son.
The city is covered with flags and bunting
The celebration far exceeds in elaborate
ness the ceremonies attendant upon the ded-
lcation of the Bennington monument a few
years ago, which up to that time had been
the grandest event of the kind in the his
tory of Vermont.
Admiral Dewey spent the night on board
the sleeper Genesta, national guardsmen
doing picket duty around the car and
through the railroad yard. Shorty after S
o clock he left his car and walked to the
office of his brother Charles He spent a
few minutes there and then returned to the
car.
The admiral spent the greater part of
the forenoon in receiving and welcoming
cid friends and neighbors. At noon the
governors salute was fired by the North

column for the parade was formed
Special trains began pouring in at an
early hour laden with people. The Cen

COOPERATING WITH MCLEAN.
No Doubt Now About Attitude of

Snecial Dispatch to The Evening Star.

kurtz and Bushnell.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 12.-There Is
no longer any doubt that Charles L. Kurtz
and Gov Bushnell are cooperating with
John r. Mclean for the defeat of at least
the head of the republican ticket Repeat
ed conferences of Kurtz and Mclean are
being held, and no pains taken to conceal
the fact
Local democratic leaders today asked the
pardon board to release Smoky Hobbs, a
colored pugilist and ward worker, now
serving a term in the state prison, in order
that he may work against Nash. His par
don is said to be already signed by Gov
Bushnell. The onlyquestion nowls can kurtz
deliver the goods in his compact with
Mclean. Many republicans, even of the
anti-Hanna element, claim that kurtz can
not control more than a small portion of
the voters he did in 1897. The election re-
turns show that about 1900 republicans
voted then against the Hanna legislative
ticket.
Republicans are now beginning to attack
Kurtz for his alliance with Mclean. To
this his friends reply that Senator Hanna
set the example. They say that in Jan
uary, 1895, when Hanna found that the
democrats We're operating with KurtZ to
defeat him, he called on Mclean in Wash
ington and begged him to call off his dem
ocratic friends in the Ohio legislature who
had entered the combine against him.

NEW YORK, October 1.-THE weather
at am. today gave promise Of another
disappointment for the yachting world A
heavy fog enveloped the upper bay, and
early the hghtest of westerly airs was
blowing
Reports from the Associated Press coast
stations early In the day were decidedly
gloomy.
Long Branch. at am. said the wind
was very light from the west, the sea
smooth and observation only about one
mile; Galilee said observation there was NOT
over d mile. with the same wind and sea
conditions: Sandy Hook reported the wind

lands of Navesink said observation there
was about three miles. though the weather
was fairly clear to the westward from

westerly wind light. sea smooth and obser-
walton about three miles.
The yachting people in the Horseshoe
were up early, and made preparations for
race. On both the Columbia and the
Shamrock jib and staysails were sent up
in stops and the mainsails were uncovered.
The Columbias men then went to break
fast on board the ST. Michaers. The Sham
rocks people breakfasted little later.
Wind Gets Stronger.
At s:15 the Highlands reported that the
wind had Increased in strength and was
blowing from the north-northwest. There
was quite a ripple off shore, and the coast
ers began to make better time.
The two racers at that hour were just
hidden by the fog inside the Horseshoe. but
from the Highlands the white hull and
cream-colored smokestack of the Erin
could just be discerned.
The old sailors and fishermen about the
Highlands were much disappointed this
morning at the shift Of wind. Last night
at o'clock there was fine breeze from
the southwest a most favorable quarter,
and comparatively clear weather, although
the sky was clouded. This led many OF the
old salts to predict there would be sail
ing breeze this morning. They were there
fore somewhat surprised and disappointed
to find a light north-northwest breeze at
daybreak today and to see thick fog up
to the northward.
The weather bureaus predictions were
also turned upside down, for instead OF
southeast breeze, with rain. the contrary
was the case.
At S:45 the fog still hung densely over
Sandy Hook, but the breeze held well. and
seemed to have hauled slightly more to the
north.

RECRUITING COMPLETED.
Twenty-Five Regiments of Picked
Men Raised In Three Months.

The enormous task of recruiting the vol
unteer army for the Philippines is practi-
cally completed. 1t was announced at the
War Department today that all the regl-
nients have been filled except one Of the
colored regiments. the 49th. which needs
less than 500 men. These will be secured
within forty-eight hours. The other colored
regiment, the 4Sth Col. Duvall was com
pleted yesterday. Thus the task of raising
an army of 81 T25 men-twenty-fiv full reg
imeats-has been accomplished in three
months.
The personnel of the volunteer regiments
Is very pleasing to the War Department
All of the recruits are picked men, selected
on basis OF mental and physical examina-
ton more severe than Aecustsnary in any
other country. A large percentage of the
men have seen service before, and with a
little drilling they will closely approach
regulars in effectiveness. All of the new
regiments are destined for service in the
Philippines and six of the regiments are al
ready on their way there. The term of
service for the volunteers Of this class ex-
tends to 1901.

COMMANDER TAUSsIG'S CASE.
Asked to Answer the Charges of Rear
Admiral Watson.

The Secretary of the Navy has referred
to Commander +. b. Taussig a copy of the
charges made against him by Rear Admiral
Watson, commanding the Asiatic squadron.
Commander Taussig was summarily re?iev-
ed from command Of the gunboat Benning-
ton on that station by Admiral Watson a
short time ago for alleged insubordination
in refusing to obey an order from his super
Tor officer, and was directed to return to
the United States to await the action of
the Navy Department.
1t Is stated that Commander Taussig act
ed on the theory that the alleged order
was contrary to regulations, ard that in
discussing the incident he took occasion to
criticise Admiral Watson's management of
the fleet. The action of the department in
this case will depend upon the character Of
the report to be made by Commander Taus-
sig in response to the charges.

Opponents in Minority.

THE opponents to the treaty were in the
minority and the star of hope to an CD
pressed people was not extinguished. The
future of these new possessions is in the
keeping of Congress, and Congress is the
servant of the people. That they will be
retained under the benign sovereignty of
the United States l do not permit myself
to doubt. That they will prove a rich and
invaluable heritage, 1 feel assured. That
Congress will provide for them a govern
ment which will bring them blessings,
which will promote their material interests
as well as advance their people in the path
OF civilization and intelligence, 1 confident
ly believe.
|"rhey will not be governed as vassals or
serfs or slaves-they will be given a gov
ernment of liberty, regulated by law hon
estly administered, without depressing ex-
action, taxation without tyranny, justice
without bribe, education without distinction
of social equality. freedom of religious wor-
ship and protection in life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness"

to their home state and members of the
Presidents party spoke briefly.

Paul, where public reception will be held

Opposition to Buying Alaska.

The minority report proceeded to say
the various questions involved and the evil
dence in regard to this country under con-
sideratf0n, are forced to the conclusion that
the possession of the country is Of no value
to the government of the United States;
that 1t will be a source of weakness instead
of power and a constant annual expense
for which there will be no adequate return:
that 1t has no capacity as an agricultural
country.
That SO far as known it has no value as
mineral country. That its fur
trade is Of insignificant value to us as
nation and will speedily come to an end.
That the fisheries are of doubtful value
and that whatever the value of its fisher
les its fur trade, its timber and its min
erals, they were all open to the citizens of
the United States under existing treaties.
That the right to govern the nation or ma

alleged that this was the first and surest
step to the creation of an empire and the
subversfon of the constitution. The phrase

under the flag of justice, freedom and op-

In 1919. We added G9,749 square miles.
which now comprise Florida and parts of
Alabama Mississippi and Louisiana.
In 1S45, we received the cession of Texas
1t contained 376.931 square miles and en-
braced the state of Texas and parts of Ok

New Mexico.
The next cession was under the treaty of
1s4s. containing 522, 56s square miles, en-
bracing the states Of California. Nevada,
Utah and parts of Colorado and Wyoming
and of the territories of Arizona and New
Mexico.
In 1858 we acquired by the Gadsen pur-
chase 45,o3o square miles, which embrace
parts of Louisiana and New Mexico.
The next great acquisition was that of
Alaska in 1867, containing 500, ,446 square
miles.

BACK FROM CAMP.
Second Regiment Boys Return From
Weeks Stay at Mantle

Second Regiment Boys Return From
Weeks Stay at Mantle.
The local members Of the Connecticut
National Guard, who have been at
camp at Mantle for the last week, re-
turned Saturday about $3.50 o'clock on a
special train bearing all the Companies
of the Second regiment, except the one
located in Middletown.
There was a large crowd of friends,
including wives, sisters and cousins, at
the Union depot when the train came
in, waiting to greet the returning mi
litiamen. Major T. H. Sucher was in
command of the regiment and after
disembarking the companies formed in
line and gave a short parade to the
armory. The route was from Union
avenue to State, to Chapel, to Church,
to Meadow streets.
The men were dismissed Immediately
on their arrival at the armory.
Colonel Burpee went to his home in
Waterbury Saturday night. The news
that the colonel is to resign his COM
mission has caused much regret out
side of the officers of the regiment
themselves 1t was stated Saturday
night upon good authority that while
Colonel Burpee has made known to the
men under him his intentions of the
future, it is not probable that he will
give up the command Of the Second I'M
iii late in The fail anu certainly not un-
til after the fall inspection, which will
take place in october.
The First and Second regiments are
bidding for the honor of representing
the state in the Dewey day celebration.
The First regiment wants to go and
its claim on account of it's record
during the war that it stands in for
first consideration.
The Second regiment offers itself as
the most efficient in the brigade with
full of men that would make
a creditable showing for the Conecti-
cut National Guard. Governor I.ouns-
bury listened to all appeals and said
that he would give the matter careful
