resentatives Of the Three Powers
ON the Islands,

Washington, May 10-The United
States naval transport Badger, with
the Samoan commission aboard, is
now due to arrive at Apia, Samoa, and
there is much interest among officials
in the important change of conditions
which will be brought about when the
commission assumes charge of affairs.
Will Suspend the Berlin Treaty.
1t will involve practical suspension
of the treaty of Berlin, and the system
OF administration by which the ISL
ands have been governed for the last
ten years, and the temporary rule of
the commission, with supreme, execu-
tive and administrative authority. BY
arrangements made before the Badger
sailed, she will enter the harbor of
Apia with the flags of the United
States, Great Britain and Germany dis
played.
Formalities to be Observed.
The warships of the three countries
| will fire the salute accorded to min
listers, and there will be an exchange
of calls between the naval comman-
ders, the commission and the consuls
With these formalities over, the con-
suls of the three governments, Herr
Rose and Merrs. Maxse and Osborne,
will suspend their functions, as all the
authority heretofore exercised by the
consnls and other officials, for the
time being. will be in the hands of the
Joint commission.
SuspensiOn Of Functions.
The same suspension of functions
will occur as to Chief Justice Cham
bers, and the president of the muni-
cipal council.
Cable advices that all is quiet in
Samoa affords renewed assurance to
officials that the work of the commits
sion will be productive of good re-
| suits, as it will enable them to begin
their labors free from the excitement
| of open hostilities.
Alleged German Claims.
In view of the Berlin press reports
that number of German claims
would be pressed, growing ont of the
recent bombardment, it is tated in an
authoritative quarter that no such
claims have been presented, and that
| if any claims are made by individual
| Germans, they will be passed upon by
the joint commission, their functions
having been made broad enough tc
permit them to pass on all such ques'
tions. Their report, however, would
be confined to the merits of the
claims, amounts, and the parties LA
BILE, and it would remain for the re-
spective governments to carry out the
recommendations by making the nee

Vermont Dairy Laws.

Act No. 81 of the Vermont laws of 1899
entitled an act for the protection of
dairymen, and relating to testing milk
and cream, provides that all glassware
used in dividend making, whether by
Babcock or other tests, at creameries or
cheese factories shall be tested as to its
accuracy and if found correct indelibly
marked as proof thereof. The law pro-
vides further that every persons using
the Babcock test in dividend making
shall secure a certificate as to Compel
ency. This law took effect February |.
1899. The latter part of December, 1899,
regulations were issued by the superin-
tendant of dairy school of the Univer-
sity of Vermont and State Agricultural
college, in accordance with this act, and
sent so far as possible to all creameries
and cheese factories in Vermont. Up to
Aug. /, there have been tested at the
experiment station 1854 milk and cream
bottles and l,l55 pipettes. Nearly per
cent of the old bottles in use at the time
OF. the enactment of the law where found
to be Incorrect, but with the new glass
ware that has since come into the state
this percentage has materially decreased.
Correct apparatus is etched with the
characters "Vt. Elk. ST." on the neck of
the bottle or bulb of the pipette. Tested
glass ware can be obtained direct from
the large dealers in dairy supplies in the
state. Two hundred and forty.one certi-
ficates have been granted to persons to
use the Babcock test. Failures have
-. .
tons are now pending. Regulations
explanatory of both sections and full
text of the law will be sent from Bur-
lington by the experiment station to all
interested parties on request.

widely different from the Vermont law
and to which the Illinois papers general
ly attribute the remarkable increase In
taxable property reported by the tax
payers in their voluntary returns to the
listers. That is the feature of compul-
sorry publication of the name and returns
of each taxpayer. We think the
Herald will agree with the statement that
no more potent power than the "white
light of publicity" exists for bringing to
time habitual tax dodgers. The fear OF
public opinion is great deal stronger In
such cases than the fear Of conscience.
Where he is so certain Of exposure for
false returns as would be the case If his
list appeared in the paper his neighbor
reads, the tax dodger will remember
about many more stocks and bonds he
owned than formerly.

William 7. Stead has an interesting
magazine article on the Cape to Cairo
railway project of Cecil Rhodes. About
600 miles have already been completed
and in five years Mr.. Rhodes expects to
reach the frontier of German East
Africa. The estimated cost is anywhere
from S50,000,000 to Sl00,000,00O for the
completed line. But the pith of the
whole interesting account of the project
is in Mr.. Stead's estimate of the value of
the great transcontinental line. He shows
that the road is not wanted for imperial
or military reasons, that no through
traffic of any kind is awaiting its compile
ton, that Egypt and the Cape Colony
have nothing to interchange to make
traffic. Mr.. Stead is therefore con-
strained to believe that the reason for
the road Is to be found in the fact that 1t
has fascinated the imagination of
Rhodes. and further that he could not
resist the Britisher's love of ALTERATION
in "Cape to Cairo.'

1t is probable that congress at its next
session will pass law relative to the
lynchng of subjects of other nations in
this country. Two measures have been
proposed.
One would provide that when foreign.
ers are lynched the federal courts shall
have authority to try the lynchers.
The other proposes that in cases where
damages have to be paid to foreign gov
eInments for the lynching of their sub.
iects in the United States the amount
shall be paid by the state or country in
which the lynching occurred, instead OF
from the United States treasury. The
latter plan is preferable
The states regard with Just jealousy
any infringement of the federal courts In
their own dominion, and it is doubtful
whether federal courts could constitu
tionally assert jurisdiction In cases OF
lynching In a state, whoever might be
the victims.
There is much to be said in favor OF
the other plan. If state or county does
not protect foreigners from mob violence
it should bear the penalty for such law.
| lessness instead of imposing it upon the
whole country.
1t seems certain that the federal gov
eminent " ill have to pay to Italy a con.
siderable sum for the lynching of three
Italian citizens at Tallulah, La, a few
weeks ago.
Would it not be perfectly proper ant
right for the state of Louisiana or the
parish in which Tallulah is situated tC
pay this money, instead of having il
drawn from the common treasury of the
whole country:
All the states have laws for the protec
ton of all persons within their borders
Where the states and local authorities
allow these laws to be overriden, they
should suffer for it.

THE RATCHET EPISODE.
The Gettysburg Commissioners Want It
Ignored in Statue.


The Gettysburg Commissioners Want 1t
Ignored in Statue.
The monument committee of the 18th
Vermont infantry has had lively tus.
sic with the commissioners of the nation
al cemetery at Gettysburg. The Yer
mont veterans were determined that q
Ratchet should be held in the right hand
OF Capt. Stephen F. Brown, whose
statue surmOunts the new monument
which is to mark the spot occupied by
the 18th regiment on the battlefield, and
the cemetery commissioners were so
averse to the idea that j. H. Willing,
the builder Of the monument. has been
kept In hot water for six months. The
contention resulted In a compromise.
The Ratchet is part of the statue, but
1t rests on the ground near the captains
right foot.
The presence of the Ratchet in any
position naturally suggests inquiry, and
that Is just why the Vermonters wanted
1t there. Every cemetery guide will
know the story of Captain Brown and
his Ratchet, visitors will tell 1t to their
children, and it will become history. AT
the battle of Gettysburg the 18th Yer
mont was part of Gen. STANDARDS
Vermont command. The second Yer
mont brigade had been left on outpost
duty in Virginia until the third day after
the army of the Potomac had passed it
in pursuit of Lees troops into Maryland
and Pennsylvania. Then the brigade
got orders to proceed by forced marches
to join the army of the Potomac. The
latter was also on forced march, but in
six days time the Vermonters had over.
taken the main body. Just before the
first days battle Capt. Browns command
came up to well, at which was an
armed guard.
You can't get water here" said the
guard. ''Gainst ORDERS
damn your ORDERS" said Capt
Brown, and then, with all the canteens
of the men and with only one man 10
help him he thrust the guard aside ar
filled the canteens. His arrest followed
and he was deprived of his sword.
The history making battle began with
Capt. Brown prisoner. He begged fol
chance to reioin his company, and wa:
allowed to go. He picked up camp
Ratchet and ran to the firing line, rush
ing into the fray, and singing out 8
rebel officer fifty yards away, penetrated
the rebel ranks, collared the officer
wrestling from him his sword and pistol
after which he dropped his Ratchet
while his men cheered him amid thu
storm of bullets and smoke. Such II
brief was Capt. Browns exploit.

STORY OF A SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George ID. Williams, of
Manchester, Mich tells how such slave
was made free. He says: "My wife
has been so helpless for five years that
she could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bitters, she is wonderfully improved and
able to do her own work" This supreme
remedy for female diseases quickly cures
nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy,
headache, backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working medicine
is godsend to weak, sckly, run down
people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only

Weather Equations.
Boston Advertiser.1


| 1t is customary to remark that when
we have September weather in August
we may look for August weather in Sep
TENDER. Similarly it is said, as if recit-
ing an obvious fact, that an unusually
mild winter will be followed by one of
exceptional severity, a wet summer by
dry one, etc. Like most observations
on the ancient and prolific topic of the
weather, they have some degree of reas-
on founded on experience. But, as is
apt to be the case with proverbial phil
osophy, the truth is very much less pre-
else and prompt than are the truisms.
AS for the proportion of wet and dry
weather, 1t is apparent that so long as
the general constitution of nature re-
mains unchanged the excess of rainfall
in particular locality during one period
of time will necessarily be matched by a
corresponding deficiency during another
period of time. Although we know less
regarding the natural causes of changes
in temperature than regarding changes
in rainfall, there is rational ground for
believing that like causes must produce
like effects, sooner or later. And there
are tabulated results of long continued
meteorological observations which point
somewhat toward conclusions corrobor-
alive of the ancient and familiar weather
talk of common people.
Only, and this is important to notice,
the equations are worked out over much
longer periods of time than is generally
supposed. Instead of Its being the case
that wet season is followed by dry
one invariably, cold August by hot
September, etc, it may be the case that
a number of years may be required to
produce the expected average. We may
get our hot September, not this year or
next year, but in the middle of the first
decade of the twentieth century.
