She Makes No Demand for Recompsnse For
ma Declaration LkslJ 10 fe Sen 10 Ssnlls
u Confirmation in a Short Ilms.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The United
states and Great Britain. it was deli
nitely learned today. have reached an
amicable agreement respecting the
operations of the Clayton BulWer
treaty as affecting the right Of con-
struction and control by the United
states OF the proposed Nicaragua
canal The result marks the termina-
tion OF conferences between officials
OF the state departments ana Lord
Pauncefote Of fully a years duration,
during which a number Of meetings
were held, and the subject fully dls-
cussed by the representatives OF the
governments Interested Great Br9Jsin
agrees to a modification OF the Gay
ton Bulwer treaty by which she prac-
tically rellnquishes any claims respect
ing a dual control OF the Nicaragua
canal after IL shall have been con-
strud,ed The result, therefore, Is TO
eliminate that feature OF the treaty
bearing on the subject of dual control
and to leave the United States free TO
construct and thereafter control this
great infer-oceanic waterway.
In all the discussions which have
been had. both in Congress and out or
il for long number of years over
the proposed canal, the question or
Englands rights under the Clayton
Bulwer treaty has formed a prominent
feature. and on more than one occa-
sion has given rise to the query wheth-
er or not the United States government
had the moral right 10 provide for the
construction Of the canal without a
modification OF the tr aty.
From the same authoritative quarter
II Is ascertained that England hac
made no demands for quid pro quo
for her Abandonment Of whatever
rights she may have had under the
treaty and which she now promises TO
relinquish just what shape the agree
ment between the governments inter-
ested is TO take is not stated though
it Is assumed that some formal instru-
ment Will be drafted and sent to the
Senate for its confirmation

installation and Camp Fire.

The recently elected officers Of Cham
berlin Post, No. 1, G. A. R., and Cham
berlin Relief Corps were installed Friday
evening. The installation was the occa-
sion of the first official visit Of Dept.
Commander A. P. Butter6eld, of Derby
Line, and Mrs. Clara Bradley Niles, of
Morrisville, Dept. President of the w. r.
c. The officers elect of Chamberln Post
were installed first, Gen. Butter6eld act
ing as installing officer. Following this
was the impressive installation service
of the w. r. c. Mrs. Nellie Wakefield
Dutton, of Hardwick, who occupied the
chair, is an able presiding officer and the
manner in which she performed the work
elected much deserved praise. On assum.
ing the chair the new president of the
corps, Mrs. L. N. Smythe, in graceful
speech, thanked the ladies for the honor
they had conferred upon her.
Commander c. H. Woodbury. then
assumed the chair and short but very
interesting camp fire was held. The first
speaker was Dept. Commander Butter
field, who spoke in a general way of the
war for the Union. In comparing the
civil and Spanish-American wars the
speaker referred to the fact that in one
afternoon, in the battle OF the Wilderness,
the old Vermont Brigade lost nearly as
many men as were lost during the entire
Santiago campaign. During his address
Gen. Butterheld paid tribute to the
memory OF Col. Chamberlin, The COM
mander's remarks were listened to with
interest and heartily applauded.
Dept. President Niles was the next
speaker. Her remarks were largely on
matters concerning the corps in Vermont.
The other speakers of the evening were
John Currier, of Troy, Rev. DR.. Edward
T. Fairbanks, and Comrades Marshall
Montgomery, E, l.. Hovey, E. c. Potter,
and John Mcdonald. At the close of the
camp fire a banquet was served by the
ladies.
A pleasing feature Of the evening was
the presentation to the retiring presi-
dent, Mrs. Jane l.. Morris, OF a silver
fork and spoon. The presentation ad-
dress was made by Mrs. E. l.. Hovey.

Appreciative Words.

Hon. L. D. Hazen has received two
letters relative to his work as a member
of the prison board and weare permitted
to publish them. In acknowledging the
receipt of his resignation Gov. Smith
wrote;
"It is a matter of genuine regret that
the government felt obliged to ask you
to sever your connections with this
work for you made special study of
your duties, and kept, am glad to say,
abreast of advanced thinkers, and am
sure would have ultimately worked out
a solution to the problem in Vermont
that would have been beneficial alike to
the state, and the unfortunate class
whose lives and characters areinvolved."
D. l.. Morgan, supt. Of the House of
Correction, wrote Mr.. Hazen as follows:
believe no one has realized more fully
than myself the sincere and heartfelt in
terest you have had in this institution
and for it's inmates, as well as the valu-
able service you have given in its behalf.
Your work in the establishment of
parole system, not yet understood or ap-
preciated, will, believe, be far reaching
in its results, boon to the prisoner and
a benefit to the state"

St. Johnsbury Musicians.

The Stanstead Journal has words of
highest praise for two st. Johnsbury
musicians who appearedin concert at
Beebe Plain on the Dist ut. The paper
says, Miss Anna Someville, who is
pupil of Prof. c. r. Adams, the famous
vocal teacher of Boston, sang the BEG
gar Maid" in manner tat displayed a
powerful soprano voice of exceptional
quality and range, and her style and
phrasing could not be ensured by the
most critical critic. 1t useless to say
her singing surpassed anything of the
kind ever heard in tbs part of the
country"
Of Miss Marion Glytns piano work
the same paper says, " ie played Home,
Sweet Home, with variations bv
Mazurette. She displEed a technique
that was marvellous nd the thought
and impression that tie composer de.
sued to convey were eactly portrayed.
MISS Glynn surely has alright future be-
tore her as concert pinist."

starting with ten men, composed princi.
pally of members of the old St. Johns
