Important Transfer.

a very important'railroad transaction
has just been completed. The Rutland
railroad has purchased the stock and
bonds of the Ogdensburg and Lake
Champlain railroad. and will take pos
session in a few days.
This deal is of great interest TO Yer
mcnt and Northern New York. DR.. w.
Seward Webb has been trying to get
controll of the Ogdcnburg road for
some time, and his success practically
insures the extension of the Rutland
road to 'Rouses Point under the charter
granted to the Rutland Canadian Rail-
road Company. -.
The Ogdensburg road will be nebuill
10 accommodate the hea ~ western traffic
which its owners will try to secure,
The extension will probably be built
through the islands, thus shortening the
distance between Burlington and Rous-
es Point by l6 miles. The road will be
operated in close relations with the
New York Central. and the Rome,
Watertown, and Ogdensburg road which
is also controlled by Vanderbils.
The Osdensburg road is us miles
long, and connects with the Vanderbilt
systems at Ogdensburg, Norwood, and
Malone, while at Rouses Point it touches
the Deleware and Hudson in which the
Vanderbilt's are largely Interested.
DIR. Webbs genius for large railroad
operation has secured a connecting link
between the different branches of the
New York Central system and he mas
also consolidated into one trunk route
a series of lines reaching from Ogdens-
burg to Bellows Falls, a distance of 800
miles. At Ogdensburg the road will
connect with steamboat lines from Chi
cago and other Lake parts and will have
working relations with the Canada At
ianlic and other Canadian lines.
Dr.. Webb is also director in the
Fi:chburg road, and it is a significant
fact that fitchburg stock has advanced
from par to l09 in the past few weeks.
This last deal means the up5uilding OF
the material interests OF the Champlain
Valley in particular, as we'll as Of all
Vermont and Northorn New York in
general. DR., Webb and the Wander
bilts are now permanently interested
in this section, and different enterpris
es will be developed OH a scale that will
astonish the people in general.

German Warrior Tells the story of
Augusti's Departures.

Chicago. Jan. 4.-Major A. Won Som
sanberg. military attache to the empire
of Japan the man who carried the mes
sage between Admiral Won Diederichs
and Admiral Dewey by which permis-
sion was given for the transportation
| Of Captain General August from Ma
Mia to Hongkong on a German vessel,
is in Chicago. Major Won Sonnenberg
Is a typical German officer When seen
at the Auditorium, he related a certain
hitherto unwritten story of the Ameri-
can operations in the Philippines.
IT am a student of military affairs.
Perhaps 1 might be called a theoretical
warrior" he said. Inasmuch as he has
the iron cross for bravery at Sedan and
was in q battles of the Franco Prus-
sian war he is a practical fighter as
we'll.
II did not witness the destruction of
Montejo's fleet by your Admiral Dew
ey," he continued. but / saw very
much of the subsequent events. Be-
cause of what saw l want to correct
at least one false impression-th
there was any i'll feeling between the
commanders of the American and Ger
man fleets. There was a disagreement,
admit, over the right of Americans to
control German ships, but that was
soon settled.
"Then, as to the Augusti incident,
there was nothing secret about the
transaction. I myself was the messen-
ger between the two admirals in the
discussion over the disposition of An
gusti. Admiral Won Diederichs asked
whether or not Admiral Dewey would
| object to Captain General August talk
ng passage on one of the German dis
patch boats running to Hongkong. Ad-
miral Dewey said he would-not if the
former captain general would make
some kind of a pledge that he would
no longer bear arms against the United
States. This was given, and the Incl
dent closed at once as the diplomats
say.
"As to the Americans, both ashore
and aboard ship, I may say that have
never met a finer body of men. I ad-
mire your volunteers. To my mind they
furnish magnificent material for SOL
diers, but I am afraid that they have
hard task before them in the Philip
pines. should not want the task of
controlling those islands unless 1 had
fully sc nt0 men behind me. Those ma
tives arr going to be hard problem to
solve.''

PARLEYING AT IL0IL0.
Administration Approves Plan of Otis
to Avoid I.oodshcd.
BELIEF CITY WILL YIELD.
Expectation Is Iha. the Insurgents
Will See FutiIity of Resisting.
ASuinnIGO NGt,Re"oGnixed
In the Negotiations.

| Washington, JAM 4.--General Otis has
reported to the war department that
Brigader General Miller commanding
the American forces in front of Iloilo,
has informed him that the place can be
taken at any time after brief siege,
but that to take TIL City by assault
would almost certainly cause some loss
of life.
General Otis accordingly has instruct
ed him not to use force for the present
and has cabled the department that he
will parley with the insurgents now in
control at 1loilo in the hope that they
may be induced to abandon the place
without resistance.
He will tell them that the American
force now before the city is prepared
for an assault, and that for them to
hold out against it will simply be to
court loss of life without accomplish
Ing any good result, for the city will be
taken anyway, sooner or later. This
the insurgents will he given distinctly
to understand.
This parley will not be with Aguinal-
do. His authority will not be recog-
nized in any way. All negotiations will
be directly between the American COM
mander and whatever insurgent leader
happens to be in control at Iloilo.
The war department heartily ap-
proves General Otis programme and
has cabled him to that effect. The situ-
alton is not now regarded as alarming
in any way, for it's believed that the
representations that General Otis Is
about to make will RESULT in a peaceful
evacuation Of the place.
Blame SpApiAh Colonel.
The officials here a.e now fully salts
fed that the. tr9uhle at Iloilo may be
traced directly back to the Spanish
colonel who was the senior Spanish
army officer in the Philippine group and
directly in command of the Visayas
group, including the principal island of
Panay and the city and garrison Of
Iloilo.
General Otis renorts show that
though besieged with his 800 soldiers in
Iloilo by superioreforce, the position
of tHe Spanish sgas trWSuGha tsnable.
They had repulsed etsry att AK OF. the
insurgents and hads srft,ciet great loss
upon the latter, &c. 4 altoge ther. there
was no reason whA~they .should not
have held out Indefinitely.
This was particularly the case in view
of the knowledge on the part of the
Spaniards that, by the terms of the
treaty, the United States government
had undertaken to carry them back to
Spain, involving, of course. their re-
lease from the siege at the earliest
practical moment.
1t is significant that Rios delayed the
io,, ,,f T1riJn ,,rti bo hoco in
formed that the Americans were COM
ing. and there is curiosity here to learn
how that important information reach
ed lloilo in advance of the movements
Of the American transports and in the
absence of cable connections. I'm
it was conveyed by a vessel,
and there may be a question raised as
to the legitimacy of the transmission Of
news of the intentions of the American
troops in advance in this fashion.

GOLD CRAZE IN KANSAS.
Great Excitement Over Alleged Fields in
TregO County.


Kansas promises to become the
scene of as great Il gold craze as agi,
fated ohio this spring. Even state
officialSnnd capitalists are catching the
fever and are investing their money
in land and mines" and mills.
Near where the main shaft is being
sunk in TregO county land cannot be
bought at any price. Geologists and
mining engineers declare that it is
out of the question that there can be
more than traces of gold in Kansas.
but the men who are digging mines
and putting up money declare they
have assays which show there are fa b.
ulous quantities Of gold there.
The theory is that the gold was de-
posted there from sea water when
Kansas was Il great inland sea The
gold is found in and below IA layer of
shale that is only Il few feet below
The surface. 1t is declared that the
shale runs S13 to the ton. The gold is
free" and will be extracted by stamp
mills. several of which are being con-
'tructed in Denver for operation in
Kansas. SkcpticS laugh at the craze.
but it will not be laughed down. and
here promises to be Il sensational
'ush before the bubble bursts or the
theory Of the goldSeekcrs is proved
correct.
