EDITOR ApvANCE--Former Sena-
tor Quay Is apparently "up against
the real thing" To borrow an ex-
preston from the sporting tratern-
". The judge who has been trying
the case in Pennsylvania has ruled
against him and at almost every
point the prediction is made by
Washington politicians that he will
be playing in great luck if he es-
capes conviction and going To Jail.
When Boss Croker was on the
witness stand before the Assembly
Investigating Committee in New
York last Saturday, he lost all con-
troll of his temper and grew into n
frenzy. When put TO his last refuge
he almost bursted with rage aud adj
vised his questioners TO go and in
vestigate Tom Platt if they wanted
to find out the true source of New
York's political corruption. 1t
would seem to the casual observer
that Boss Croker Is not the only
oyster in the stew.

Mckinley has decided to fill the

People are largely, if not wholly,

1t is not softer. There is the indi-

wanting to do something forwhich he
is totally incapacitated. He expects

only worth ten, and is disgusted

The nondescript tongue known as
"pidgin English" is almost the only

foreigners and the Chinese, and nine
tenths Of the enormous business done
in China between the English and the
Chinese is done through this grotesque

his "Real Chinaman," gives two anus

During the present month this city
has been visited by hundreds of people
from every part of Vermont and many
expressions of surprise at our growth
have been heard, but scores of those
visitors before they left the city have
left this parting thought: "What your
city needs is large hotel building.'
Are there not business men enough in
this city to furnish the capital for such II
building? 1t is one of the immediate
needs of Barre.

INCREASE IN THE ARMY
Recruiting to Go on Briskly at Every
Station.
A HALT IN THE CAMPAIGN.
Decision to Enlarge the Army at ma
Mia Taken to Mean That Ag-
rressive Action Will Cease
Until Good Weather.

Washington, June 29.-Secretary AL
yer, Adjutant General Corbin and Col
Dnsl Bird, assistant quartermaster gener-
nj in charge Of transportation, had a con-
sultation with the president relative to
tho uuestion of re-enforcements for Gen
cral Otis.
A definite decision has been reached
to continue recruiting men at all the re-
cruiting stations for service in the Philip
pines, and Secretary Alger said when
he left the White House after the con-
ference that General Otis would have
10000 men when the rainy season closed
for a resumption of active operations.
There are 20 recruiting stations In the
United States and enlistments are to be
taken at all Of these stations. The en-
listments are to be for service in the reg
ular army and recruits are to be organlz-
ed into regiments or assigned to regl-
nents already formed after enlistment.
No organizations as such are to be accept
ed if sufficient recruits can be obtained
by regular enlistment.
Three Years Term.
General Corbin said the enlistments
would be for three years, although the law
for the creation of the provisional army
of $4,000 in excess of the regular army
of $4,000 provides only for such force
until 1901.
Arrangements are to be made at once
for increasing the transportation neces-
sary to get these additional troops to the
Philippines.
The decision to re-enforce General Otis
by the end Of the rainy season is inter-
preted to mean that aggressive campaign
ing will cease until the bad weather ends.
Until that time our operations will prob
ably be confined to occasional excursions
to places in close vicinity to our lines
where the insurgents may have congre-
gated in force.
By remaining quiescent under good
shelter during the rainy season 1t is
hoped the health Of our troops will be
conserved and the danger from climatic
fevers reduced to a minimum.

DOW rs PESsIMISTIO.
Claims That Filipinos Will Cause
Much Trouble Yet.

Vancouver, B. c., June 29.-Louis La
Dow, who recently arrived in Yokohama
from Manila, is quoted in the last Japa-
nese papers AS expressing the conviction
that the end of the war in the Philip
pines is by no means yet in sight.
The official reports of American losses,
he thinks, are not wholly reliable, as they
make no allowance for numbers who die
in the hospital. The number of Amer
leans killed in battle or who have died in
,hc hospitals since the outbreak of hos
tilities will. he thinks, easily reach 5000.
The volunteer force he regards as the
flower of the army of occupation, for
their training has made them as efficient
as any regulars in the world Unfortunate
ly the more recent dispatches of re-en-
forcements are not nearly so good as the
original volunteers, who were not actu-
ated by any respect of high pay, but by
patriotism or love of adventure.
The later arrivals will require Il good
deal Of licking into shape. The original
army of occupation is not in pleasant
frame of mind. They are, in the first
place, perfectly willing to fight against
any civilized power in ordinary warfare,
but they object to wasting their lives and
health on "niggers," as they contemptu
ously call the Filipnos, and they indulge
in many growls at the necessity which
compels them to be on the qui vive day
and night in order not to be caught nap
ping by their cunning enemies.
One feature of the war is that, al
though so many natives have been killed,
very few weapons have been captured.
The moment a Filipino falls there are
ten ready to snatch up his rife and make
way with it. Their numerical forces are
practically ineXhaustible, whereas the
Americans can only obtain fresh men aft
er long delays and at great expense 1t
Is a remarkable fact that, although the
American troops have often remained in
the trenches in a soaking condition for
days at Il time, they have never caught
cold.
