DEWEY ON THE F|UP|NOS
SAYS THEY ARE FIGHTERS FROM
"WAY BACK"
Thinks 1t Will Take Two Years To
Subiugate Them-Dewey Himself is
In Bad Health.

VANCOUVER, b. c., March S.
Among the passengers here today on
the Empress of India was Captain Fra
ser of London, England, late of the inn
perial forces. He has just come from
Manila. He said:
II dined with Admiral Dewey prior
to leaving Hongkong. He is in poor
health and certainly should be ordered
home. believe he has aged much,
and certainly his hair is very white.
He is an unassuming man, and is,
should think, Il born commander. The
strain which he has undergone and
is undergoing must be very great.
From the way in which the American
naval commander speaks, he fully APP
preciates the difficulty in the way of
the colonization of the 1000 islands
that form the great group of the Phil
ippines. Admiral Dewey thinks that
it will take at least two years to sub
jugate the Filipinos, for they are
fighters from away back" a phrase
that Admiral Dewey himself is said
to have partiality for"

BERESFORD IN ENGLAND.
The open Door Alone viii Prevent
War.

LONDON, March S.-Lord Charles
Beresford landed this afternoon at
Southampton on the American liner
st. Louis after six months hard work
as the British empires commercial
traveller in China and the United
States.
When asked TO give his opinion ON
the future of China trade, the feeling
in the United States on the matter,
and the relations of Great Britain and
the United States, Lord Beresford
said:
There is only one thing to do, and
that is TO maintain a policy of open
door. If we don't have that policy
and if we go i'm for spheres of infiu-
ence we shall drift into war. Spheres
of influence means every country grab
bing something, and if all the powers
begin grabbing land in China they are
bound to quarrel and war will be the
result. l am convinced that we can
keep China on her feet if we do not
go in for policy of every nation
grasping territory for itself.

RUSSIA HAS TROUBLES.
Pouring Troops Into Port Arthur and
Talien Wan.

VANCOUVER, b. c., March-The
Empress of India brings news that the
Russian Government is pouring troops
into Port Arthur and Talien Wan un-
der the pretense that the force now
garrisoning these places is too small
in view of the apparent discomfort of
the inhabitants of Liatung peninsu-
la, who have within the last two
months risen against the Russians in
thirteen different townships and dis
tricts. Not less than 1900 men have
landed at Port Arthur within the past
month or so, and it is intended to add
$4,000 more, making the full strength
of the army corps $4,000, in addition
TO the garrisons of 1900 men for Port
Arthur and 5000 for Talien Wan.

Frank Terri of Readsboro started of on

and when he started to return to his
home found that he had lost his way and
was unable to recognize the surround

some wood with which to make fire
and found that he had but two matches
with him. The first he struck went out,
but he succeeded In kindling the fire with
remaining one. When Terri did not put
in an appearance at home at night the
family were very much alarmed for fear
that he might have suffered an attack of
apopleXy, to which he is subject. An
alarm was given and searching parties
were organized who started to the noun

illustrated History of Dewey Day.


The desirability of publishing an Illus
trated history of the Dewey celebrations
at Montpelier and Mortified is conceded
by every Vermonter. In order to meet
this public demand for publication illus
trating and describing these eventful
days, the undersigned proposes to under
take the work, provided sufficient encour-
agement is given him by persons inter-
ested in the Dewey celebration at Mont
pelier and the Dewey hall exercises at
Northfield. The plan contemplates re-
producing in fine half-tone plates numer-
Gus photographs of the decorations, the
parade, and other scenes at Montpelier
and Northfield; description of events,
a complete roster of bands and organiza-
tiOns present, including the names of all
officers; also the report in full of the
masterly Grafton delivered by Hon.
Chauncey M. Depew at the laying of the
corner stone of Dewey hall at Norwich
university. This work involves the ex-
penditure Of much time .and money. In
order to assure the success of the enter
prise the publisher of The Vermonter, in
which periodical the illustrated history
will appear, requests everyone interested
to order in advance the number of copies
desired. The price will be 10 cents per
single copy, or 50 per hundred copies.
The commanding officers of every or
ganization participating in the parade are
requested to send In the name of their
organization, the number of. men in line,
and the names of all officers present.

Little Girl Drowned.

On last Saturday morning about 9 so
O'Clock Annie May Painter, the little
daughter of Rev. G. Z. Painter, preacher
of Clear Fork Circuit, was drowned in
Clear Fork Creek about one mile above
Cove Creek. She was about eight years
old and very bright child. Mr.. Painter
lives near the bank of the creek and the
little girl had gone on an errand to aneigh-
boris house. In going she had crossed the
creek on foot log. When she failed to
return promptly her parents became un-
easy and sent to make inquiries about
her. Her brother who was sent returned
and reported that the little girl had left
the neighbo'rs home some time previous,
and other nearby homes were rapidly ys
tied to ascertain if she had gone to any of
them. Failing to find her at any Of the
neighbors, the family became seriously
alarmed and searching parties were sent
down the creek At about II o'clock a.
IN. the body of the little girl was found in
the creek, lodged upon drift at water
rack, at point about one and half miles
below where she had fallen from the foot
log.
The stream is very swift one, and at
the time was unusually full Of water,
caused by the recent heavy rains. 1t is
that the child either slipped off
the log or that her head swan, causing her
to fall.
On.Sunday afternoon Rev. j, S. French,
pastor of the Methodist church at this
place, went to the home of the bereaved
parents and came with the remains to
Unaka where the burial took place on
Monday afternoon in the graveyard on the
land of Rev. w. H. Kelly.
We extend our sympathy to the be-
reaved parents.

WILL NOT PREJUDICE.

1t was agreed that General Miles should
not he suspended from Office as comman-
der of the army pending the investigation,
as it not intended that even by any infer
ence should he be prejudged of any wrong
doing in this connection.
Up to the close of the day General Miles
positively declined to discuss in any man.
ner the events Of the day, so far as they
relate to himself, or to discuss any state
ments contained in any of the interviews
attributed to him.
1t may be said of these interviews, that
while it is conceivable they might figure
in the inquiry, they would not do so Of
necessity for the matters to be first looked
into are those connected with the charac
ter of the army beef.
1t is suggested that it will be matter Of
difficulty to secure the personnel for even
court of inquiry with its limited men,
bership, without employing some of the
officers who have already taken some part
in the controversy between General Miles
and General Eagan. This is on account of
tie scarcity of available officers Of sufficient
rank to warrant their assignment to this
duty.

Young Lady Drowned.

A very unfortunate accident occurred at
Pounding Mill on last Sunday afternoon.
Miss Mollie Johnson, daughter of Mr..
William Johnson, who lives at Pounding
Mill, attempted to cross the river at that
place on a foot log, while the stream was
very much swollen. No person was with
her but number of persons were in sight.
She was seen to fall from the log and sew
eral persons went Immediately to the
river bank with the hope of being able to
render assistance to the unfortunate,
drowning girl. But the,;current was so
swift and the river SO full that no saving
help could be extended. We are informed
that when the young lady was rushed along
by the current, her hands could be seen
stretched up out Of the water as if appeal
ing for help, the appeal, however, was in
vain. She was sixteen years old and her
sad death was greatly deplored in the
community where she lived. The body
was not recoved until Monday morning.
1t was found lodged against drift wood,
some three or four hundred yards below
the point where she fell into the river.
Al place like Pounding Mill, where
there are so many people crossing and re-
crossing the river, there should be some
thing more than an ordinary foot log for
people to use. This very sad accident
ought to cause the residents of the place
TO take the necessary steps for the erec-
ton of suitable foot bridge.
