OTHER POSSIBLE CLAIMS

IF It should be determined the New
York Is entitled to share in the head

have to determine whether or not the
Fourth Massachusetts Regiment and a
portion of the Thirty-fourth Michigan
which were on board the Harvard are
entitled to share. The Navy Depart-
ment has received through n Massachu
sets member Of Congress the claims of
officers and men of the Massachusetts

SAMPSON AT
SANTIAGO DE CUBA
Did He Aid in Destroying
Cervera's Fleet ?
QUESTION TO BE SETTLED
Court of Claims VIII Determine the
Admirai's Whereabouts at the
Time the Spanish Squadron WINS
Annihiiated July 3rd line Qucs-
tions Involved Secretary Longs
Dodge -Dewey's Men Interested.

Washington, Janf 31.-All doubts as
to the whereabouts of the cruiser New
York with Admiral Sampson during
the progress of the naval battle at
Santiago on July 30, 1880 in which Ad-
miral Cervera's Spanish squadron was
annihilated. will be judicially settled
in this city by the u. S. Court of
Claims. the claim of officers for head
money" having been referred to that
tribunal for adjudication.
When the matter is called up in the
court attention will be called by friends
OF the officers and men on the u. S.
warships that really participated in the
fight to the assistance rendered by the
land batteries to the ships of Admiral
Cervera. The claim will be made that
the Spanish force was equal, if not the
superior. of the American force, and
that consequently officers and men
comprising the latter are entitled to
$500 for each person on board the en-
emy's vessel.
WHERE WAS SAMPSON?
To support this claim 1t will be con-
tended that the New urf did not par
tlclpate in the actual fighting, and
therefore is not entitled to any share
in the prize money.
1t will be seen that. therefore, it will
deVolve upon the Court of Claims to
determine whether the New York par
ticipated in the battle and whether the
officers and men on board are entitled
to head money" OF course the supe-
riority Of the American fleet over Ger
vera's squadron is evident with the
New York included as part of the
American force, and should it be de-
cided that the she participated there
Will be disbursed among the officers
and men only 800 for each person on
board the opposing ships.
SECRETARY LONG DODGES.
While it is denied at the Navy De-
partments that the Secretary. in re-
ferring the bounty claims to the Court
of Claims. desired to avoid the re-
sponsibility of determining whether the
New York was actually in the battle,
there is no doubt that he appreciated
that many awkward questions were
likely to come up, the decision of which
would cause much controversy. He de-
cided, therefore. the wisest course
would be for the department to refer
the matter TO the Court of Claims
The officers and men of the armored
cruiser Brooklyn, the battleship Ore
gon. Iowa and Indiana. second-cIass
battleship Texas. and auxiliary gun
boats Gloucester and Vixen. are great
ly concerned in the matter because
their ships did the actual lighting.
Should it be determined that the New
York is not entitled to n share of the
head money" then will come up the
question whether Rear Admiral Samp-
son should receive a portion of it.
OTHER POSSJRJE CHAINS

"A WORD TO THE WISE"

A Burlington business house recently
undertook to ascertain what newspapers
of the state would bring the best returns
in the advertising field. Every paper
and "ist" of prominence was included
in the test. A single small advertise
ment containing very tempting offer
was placed in each paper, to run for one
month. A number of daily papers with
weekly issues were included. the adver-
tisement TO be carried in both Issues.
And now mark the result. A Burling-
ton daily and weekly paper, being right
on the home ground, brought the largest
number of inquiries. A "list" on the
other side of the mountains, containing
five newspapers under one management,
stands second, and the Middlebury
REGISTER, "alone and sngle-handed,
comes in for third honors.
We are not unduely elated over the re-
suit. 1t was no more than we expected
and have always insisted. We mention
it here merely as further confederation
of what large.number of our advertisers
have always known-that there are few
better papers in the state for general and
specific advertising than the REGISTER.
Given something that the people want
or think they want-an advertisement
in the columns of the REGISTER never
fails to bring returns.
Right here we may add that the theory
of advertising is well exc mplified in the
instance above quoted. The Burlington
firm was not aiming especially at the
number of sales it could make-its stock
was of course quickly exhausted before
a fraction of the inquiries had been re-
papers would bring the largest number
of possible customers. There the duty
of the advertisement ended. No adver-
tisemcnt in itself can make a sale. Its
business is to bring the customer and
the salesman together. If no sale re-
suits, that is not an evidence of fault in
the advertisements The failure may be
due to misrepresentation of the article
advertised, or the price may be too high,
or the salesman incompetent. The "ad"
has done It's full duty.
The best advertising is that which
tells "plain, unvarnished tale" con-
corning the virtues of the article adver-
tised-no misrepresentation to later dis
appoint the customer; the figures of
your lowest price-to avoid another
source of disappointment; and then if
will be a sale of that article when the
customer comes in. When the customer
comes in, we said. TO bring that GUS
toner in is the whole duty of the adver-
tisement-no more, no less.

ARCTIC EXPLORATION.

The announcement is made by a Nor
wegian newspaper that arrangements
have been completed for a relief eXpe-
dition to go in search of Walter Well
man, the correspondence explorer, who In
June last started at the head of a party
of scientists for Franz Josef Land, on
his way to explore Greenland. The
party was expected to return ere this,
and anxiety is felt for their safety.
The recent report of the finding in
north Siberia of the remains of DR.. An
dree and his balloon expedition has once
more quickened interest in the various
Arctic exploration parties now in the
far north or preparing to go thither.
The Peary expedition is far on its way
toward the goal of all Arctic endeavor,
by the sledge route to the north of
Greenland. Peary's vessel is the NV ind
ward" the steam bark which carried TO
Franz Josef Land the jackson exped-
ton, which was so fortunate as to come
upon Nansen and his companion on their
return from the "farthest north"
Peary's party left New York July ,,
and the last news from them vas brought
by a vessel which accompanied the
Windward and parted from her In
Smith sound on Aug. 13. Peary pro-
poses to force his way northward with a
party of Eskimos and dog sledges along
the coast of Greenland, advancing by
short stages and carrying a plentiful
supply of provisions, leaving store
house at the end of each stage. When
the northern terminus of Greenland is
reached, favorable time will be awaited,
and then a bold dash across the ice with
light equipment will be made, in the
hope of reaching the pole.
so much life and effort and treasure
has been spent in fruitless attempts to
reach this goal, that we are apt to con
slider distance as the main obstacle
O1e learns with surprise, therefore, that
Ninsrn approached within distance

\ Bennington county farmer Is report
ed to have recently paid Massachusetts
veterinary five dollars for testing his
cattle with tuberculin. He probably
forgot that he could have this service
performed for him free of charge by the
state cattle commission. 1t is barely
possible that by reason of certain per-
formances in the legislature last fall, this
farmer and others may haye an idea that
the board of agriculture within whose
provinces lies the inspection of cattle
was done away with, and that conse-
quently the Vermont dairymen would
have to do what testing was necessary
on their own account. The board has
not been abolished, and the inspection
and quarantine of cattle are going on as
usual. Farmers may have their herds
tested al state expense, but applications
for the testing of a portion of herd
only will always be refused Strict
quarantine regulations are now in force,
and no cattle will lie allowed to enter
Vermont from any source, to be held in
the state, without a permit from the
board. Violators of this statute are
liable to penalty of not exceeding two
hundred dollars. Explicit instructions
are issued by the board, and all parties
interested will find it to their advantage
to follow these closely. Applications
for permits should be made to the secre-
tary, Hon. c. j. Bell of Walden. in the
prosecution of this campaign against
tuberculosis the state board of agricul.
ture are operating directly in behalf of
the farmer himself and the people who
look to him for wholesome beef and pure
milk. The last discussion of this impor-
tant subject in legislative halls revealed
the existence of much prejudice against
use of the tuberculin tesla prejudice
which, it seems to us, cannot be justified
after careful candid investigation. 1t
is for the interest of the dairyman that
his herd be absolutely free from suspi-
cion as to physical condition, and the pub
lie have right to demand that he do all
in his power to this end. The board of
agriculture, the direct and responsible
representatives of the state, are entitled
to the fullest confidence and an unpre-
JUDGED support in their efforts to check
the ravages of disease among Vermont
dairy herds.
