Admiral Seymour and his column
has been relieved and two hundred
of his sick and wounded are in Tien-
Tsin, but the fate of the ministers and
other foreigners who we're in Pekin is
still unknow. An official despatch
from Port Arthur to the Russian war
Office reporting the rescue of Seymour
makes no mention of the foreign min
listers being with him, and and neither
does despatch from Chefoo confirm
ing the Port Arthur statement. Ad-
miral Kempff's despatch, which was
accepted in many quarters as settling
the question of the safety of the min
listers, was but the repetition of ru-
NOR. 1t will be unfortunate if the
mistery hanging about the fate of the
foreigners who were in Pekin is not
cleared up speedily. Even the ma
tions that are inclined to treat China
with the greatest consideration can
not cease their military operations
until their representative are res
cued or their deaths avenged.

Nine of the insurgent leaders in the
Philippines have taken the oath of
allegiance to the United States and
have been set at liberty. Among them
are Pho del Pillar, Conception, Garcia
and Alvaraz. This is the first fruit of
the presidents proclamation. The
oath came hard to some of the gener
ais, but in the end they admitted that
furthe resitence was useless. Of all
these generals, Pho del Pillar is regard
ed as the ablesU and Garcia as the
most respectable. General Garcia
is regarded by our officers and SOL
diers as foeman worthy of respect,
as coming nearer to the character of
"oficer and gentlemen" than any of
the insurgent chiefs. When he was
captured, on May 6, by party of our
soldiers, who surprised him while he
was on a sick bed, he was given the
tenderest care, and all the courtesies
due his rank were scrupulously rem
dered him. Such a man does not
abandon a cause unless it is in his
judgement hopeless or he is con-
vinced that it is wrong, and his aban-
donment means a great deal more
than the withdrawal of his single
sword.-Trdnscrlpt.

THAT ST. ALBANS INCIDENT.

The following is copied from the
Burlington NeaUs:
For number of days the Free Fress
has been filing it's columns with
words about one Laclair, who had the
fortune to advocate at st. Albans
before meeting of laboring men, the
election of Gen. W. W. Grout to the
senate of the United States. After
the Free Fress had trung the changes
on this matter for several days Mr..
Laclair sent them the following letter:
TO the Editor of the Free Press: :
You have done me wrong and 1 would
like to have you print this:
I was born in Rutland, VT, and have
lived the greater part of my life in
this state, my voting residence is in
Bellows Falls. So you see that / am a
great deal for the laboring men of
Washington and feel very friendly
toward him.
He did not have myself Or any of
my friends appointed to positions in
the navy yard at Washington, as they
are all civil service positions. He did
not know that [ was coming to Ver
mont until just before starting from
Washington I told him was coming
and that [ would try to say good
word for him among the laboring men
I expected to meet and he said if I
could do SO conscientiously he would
be glad to have me. That was all
there was said
Now Mr.. Editor I am a Vermonter
and have brothers living in this state,
one in Bellows Falls and one in Barre.
I was not sent here by Gen. Grout and
do not pretend have any communi-
cation with him. More than that [
am acquainted with him, feel friendly
to him for what he has done for the
laboring men of Washington.
You will see that large part of the
story you have published is untrue.
You will please make this as public as
you have made the article under the
head of "Grout Poiicics."
Very truly yours,
Ell. T. LACLAIR.

1t seems from the amount of work
to be done that it will be necessary
for the governor to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Thomp-
son Immediately by appointment, and
the members of the Orleans county
bar, together with prominent lawyers
throughout the state, are urging the
appointment of W. w. Miles of this
village. 1t is generally conceded that
the appointment should be made from
this section and Mr.. Miles is receiving
hearty support from the members of
the bar throughout the state, men
who have constantly met him and OBJ
served his work before the supreme
court and who are best able to Judge
as to his fitness for the position. Mr..
Miles has practiced law for twenty
eight years, and for many years has
covered a large field which has given
him a variedl experience. For some
years he has acted as referee in many
important cases throughout North
eastern Vermont, probably having as
many or more cases of the kind than
any other lawyer in this part of the
state. He is an honest, upright
man, a man of sound and conserva-
tive judgement, fearless in his con-
victions, and one who could be relied
upon to be strictly impartial in all de-
cisions. His experience has fitted
him to become at once valuable ad-
dItion to the bench, and as he is at
present in the prime of life, and in
possession of full strength, both bodi-
ly end mentally, many years of active
and useful servece may be expected
of him.

SAFE FOR BRYAN.
New Jersey Democrats Are Working
Harmoni ousIy.

Hon. Albert W. Dulin, of New Jersey,
W1s a caller at Democratic headquarters
yesterday. Speaking of the outlook in the
State he gave it as his opinion, based on
reports received by the State chairman,
that New Jersey will go for Bryan by a
safe majority.
THE report that New Jersey is lost to
Bryan by reason of treachery on the part
of certain alleged Democrats" said Mr..
Duliu, lis a mistake. Mr.. Young. the re-
puted chairman of the State Committee,
is not State chairman, nor is he in con-
troll OF the State Committee. The State
chairman of New Jersey is. W. H. Gour-
ley, loyal Democrat. who is working
night and day for Bryan's election. The
New Jersey Democrats are thoroughly or
ganiZed, and We will see to it that every
vote is gotten out. How the report origi-
mated that the State Committee was try
ing to dump Bryan l can't imagine. l
know that State Chairman Gourley is a
hustler, and that the entire Democratic
machinery of the State is working as a
Unit for the success of the Kansas City
| ticket. l will not give any figures, but
] do not hesitate to say that New Jersey
is safe for Bryan"

OF clever people from both continents

who were in attendance. and il applause
can be made standard OF merit large
audiences are assured for the entire
week. Strangely enough the headliners
as given in black type are but on a par
with the balance OF tie turns on the bill
but all are so excellent that the lack
of any particular headliner is enjoyable.
The most striking feature of the enter
tainment is the predominance OF attrac-
tons snacking of the music halls in
Dear Old Lunnon.' While all of these
are remarkably good the British jests as
attempted are rather crude and fail to
please, thus detracting somewhat from
the merits of the turns.
Probably the best number on the bill is
