The situation was gone over very
fully before this conclusion was

any time it may appear necessary to
authorize the enlistment of the volun-

necessary. although hoping that such
contingency may not arise. Gen. Otis
is to be given the 10000 men for whom
he has asked. The additional 5000 or
5000 troops to make up the 10000 are
to be taken from the regulars now serv-

Is Most Serious. j..
San Francisco. June 3.-Brig. Gen.
Charles King, who returned home on
the transport City of Puebla. owing to
ill health, in an interview said:
1.-The situation in the Philippines is most
serious. The people of those islands will
keep up a guerilla warfare and there is
no telling when the hostilities will cease.
They retire to the Businesses of their
mountain retreats when they are whipped
and hide in the jungles. Subsisting on
practically nothing, they have no need
for a base of supplies. It will necessitate
large force of men to subjugate them
completely. The war in the Philippines is
by no means ended. Their intrenchments
were works of military engineering and
construction, equal to the best that the
most civilized military nations have pro-
duced. Under the Spanish regime the
Filipino learned something of war, and we
are receiving evidence of this every day.
The volunteers who fought in the Phil
ippines are a splendid lot of men. capable
and accomplished fighters. They behaved
like veterans when under fire and there is
no limit to their courage. Their record in
that awful country will adorn pages of
American history recently made and yet

result of constant friction and irritation

highly in terms of commentator of
Aguinaldo and his chief supporters,

This establishes beyond dispute the
fact that Aguinaldo went to Manila with
Dewey by arrangement with the United
States consul at Hong Kong, with some
understanding which was satisfactory TO
him, and it warrants the Inference that
the conflit with him might have been
avoided by treating him with the 0 n

TO BRING BACK ABSENT veRMoNreRs.

TO BRING BACK ABSENT VERMoNTERs.
Vermont has a large and growing con-
tingent of successful former citizens. a
few of them have made themselves
heard-and felt-in the late Spanish war.
But the walks of peace also have their
representative Vermonters. We before
have noted the rapid growth of Vermont
societies in other states which evidence
the love for the old home which fingers
in the breasts of the SOUS of the old
Green Mountain state. And all this
leads to the presentation as applicable to
this state of a little plan which Governor
Rollins of New Hampshire has proposed
in connection with our n~eighboring COM
~monwealth. 1t is an "Old Home Week"
for all these absent IONS and daughters
of ours. The plan is thus described by
the governor;
| would have every town and city in the
state make up lists of all its native.born sons
ana daughters living in other states ana send
them an urgent invitation to be present
through the week. ! would have at Concord
during the week appropriate exercises of a
literary character, and also an exhibition of
the products and industries of the state. |
would make it II carnival week there. |
would have it part of the program that every
visitor should, during the week, go to the
place of his nativity and see what he or she
could do to assist in the Improvement and
Identifying of the place and its general up
building and uplifting. Is ii not possible that
such Il plan would result in much benefit to
the state, and also in the returning to her of
rnopu pf har soma who huVp wandered ATARI
And to this suggestion the New Eng
land Magazine adds its endorsement,
every word of which applies to Vermont
with equal force:
We can think of nothing which, if taken up
ana carried out in the spirit in which it is
proposed, would do more TO enlist the in.
terest of influential sons and daughters of
New Hampshire, whose homes are now out
side of the state, in the improvement OF their
old homes. Let it be generally understood
that in some midsummer week the sons and
daughters of this old town or that can come
back to the old town with n reasonable
certainty of finding that other sons and
daughters have come back, too, and there
can be no doubt that there would be a very
strong inducement for such annual visits on
the part of many.
And lest the proportion be deemed i'm
practicable and visionary, the fact is re-
called hat the old seaport town of
Portsmouth so long ago as 1858 estab-
lished the custom of inviting her sons
and daughters to revisit the old home.
and thousands of them accepted the
invitation.
Aside from the inducement to revisit
''old familiar places" Vermont offers the
most salubrious of summer climates, the
finest scenery, and the other attractions
which 60 to make a summer resort.

THE FOREST WORM.

portant subject.
Director j. l.. Hill Of the experiment
station at Burlington gives a statement
of the means to be employed in eXter-
minating the forest worm. Mr.. Hill
says:
After once established in an orchard
they are not readily dislodged. The in
sects migrate and if ones orchard is to-
day untouched it may be infested from
a neighbours grove of naples, oaks or
apples tomorrow. Damage from this
source may often be checked, if not pre-
vented, by placing bands of tarred paper.
burlap or any convenient cloth about the
trunks of the unattached trees before the
middle of May. The most effectual
means of checking the work of the forest
worm appear to be spraying, burning and
crushing. None of them kill all the
worms, but they serve TO lessen their raw
ages to a greater or less extent, accord
ing to their number and the ylgor of the
war waged against them.
In spraying, Paris green at the rate of
a quart to "A third of "A pound to a

able. \ half pound or more of quick
lime should be stirred in also, else the
leaves are apt to be burned by the
arsenic. Kerosene emulsion and bor-
deaux mixture, recommended in some of
the papers of the state as a spray against
this insect, while excellent things in GER
tain cases are quite Intellectual in COM
batting the forest worm.
If the trees be rel atively few in number
much may be accomplished by burning
the insects, preferably when clustered,
using a kerosene torch. such as rags or.
better. asbestos rope on a wooden or iron
pole. With large numbers of trees this
method is too tedious as compared with
spray ing.
If, as may very likely occur, they
gather in clusters IN the trunk, they may
be crushed, and this should be done
promptly for the opportunity may not
come again. The clusters are most COM
monty formed in early morning or at
dusk. A much less efficient method, but
one which may be at the time the best
which can be followed. is that of vigOr-
ously Earring the branches On which the
worms are located. As they let them
selves down by the thread they spin,
they can be gathered in "A pan of kerosene
by sweeping a twig back and forth under
the branch.

papers of the state concerning methods

The week has been characterized by

weather, and insufficient precipitation.
Average number of clear days 4, partly

amount of sunshine was 100 per cent, or
practically so.
The high temperatures of the past ten
days have brought shrubs and trees into
nearly full foliage and fruit trees into
bloom. The lack of rainfall is being
more and more felt, although u few
correspondents claim that the present
situation i favorable enough "a it is.
However, The surface of the ground is
becoming dry. and there is need of rain
for grass and pastures.
In the northern section the ground is
generally in good condition for work
ing. Oats rave been extensively
and a few potatoes planted, but there is
not as vet much general planting. The
fields have changed to a bright green
and stock is feeding IN the most for
ward pastures. In the southern section
the week is regarded as favorable, and
seeding has made good progress. The
Connecticut river has fallen TO a normal
stage, but bottom lands are still too
wet to work.
Rye continues in good condition.
Oats are showing three inches high in
Rhode Island. Ground is being quite
generally prepared for corr in the
southern section; in a few sections
seeding is mostly completed, and some
corn is up in the extreme south.
In the northern section reports are IN
general very favorable TO grass. In the
south its cordition is a trifle less promis-
ing than for the two previous weeks.
All correspondents speak of the early
necessity for more moisture; some re

The pure food investigation committee,
appointed by the last congress, has been
holding its sessions In Chicago. Last
week some testimony of interest to
Vermonters was developed. In the
course of his examination before the
chemist of the United States department
of agriculture, testified that maple sugar
is very extensively adulterated, chiefly
with ordinary sugar. He went into
details sufficiently to name Davenport,
Ia, as a point where artificial maple
sugar is manufactured without a particle
of the real article being used. Plain
brown sugar and an extract of hickory
bark are the principle ingredients, the
latter giving the sugar the maple flavor.
DR.. Wiley declared that chemists could
hardly detect any difference between the
real and spurious maple sugar. Our
market reports showed that less than
one. fourth of an average output was
made of the real sugar this year, but it Is
safe to presume hat the western markets
contain their usual stock of fresh Yer
mont maple sugar" If the Vermont
sugar-makers would ''get together"
adopt a trademark and have it copy
righted, there might be a chance to
down the cOunterfeiters. As matters
now stand, the odds appear to be about
even between the adulterators and the
honest makers.

1t fairly may be presumed that so far
as England and Russia are concerned
there will be no hostilities in China. The
rumors of a formal understanding be-
tween those two nations is confirmed by
their announcement that they have made
a written agreement. England will
make no effort to gain concessions north
of the Great Wall, and Russia agrees not
to seek concessions from China in the
Yang-tse valley. Both nations assert it
as their policy to maintain the integrity
of the Chinese empire.
