Figuring on the Result.
IFrom the sprIngfIeId RepubIIcan. ]

The Republican managers in Chicago are
said to be quietly figuring in some such
way as this: Bryan will lose the 10 eleclo-
raj votes in Kansas, South Dakota, Wash
ington and California which he gained in
1896, but will probably more than make
good the loss by winning the 20 electoral
votes in Maryland, Delaware, West Vir-
ginia and Kentucky, which he failed 10
gain before. But on this basis he would
still be 3S electoral votes short OF the nee
essary 224. II he carries Indiana, as he
may, he will be % votes short. The Re-
pu ,licans believe 1t TO be impossible for
Bryan to carry New York, and therefore 1t
is essential for his success that he capture
one or two big states in the middle West,
like Minnesota, Illinois or Ohio, in addi-
ton to Indiana. Should he hold Kansas,
the way out would be easier, of course.
Minnesota is being watched, owing to the
marked activity Of Gov. Lind In favor of
Bryan-and the governor Isl exceedingly
strong with the Scandinavians-but the
Republicans do not concede that Bryan
has the slightes chance there.

Fall Term at Vermont Academy.

Vermont Academy opened Tuesday,
Sept. II, with full quota of students and
teachers. The enrolment is fully as large
as in previous years, despite the fact that
the tuition charges have been increased.
The requirements for admission into the
school have been very strictly adhered to,
and as a result the student body is of a
better grade than. heretofore.
There have been a few changes in the
faculty. Professor Roux, who has served
the school so faithfully for long period of
years, has been made professor emeritus.
He will conduct the French school as in
former years, and will maintain his con.
nection with the Academy, although not
engaged in the active work of the school.

The report of Grand Sire Alfred s. Pink
erton of Worcester to the sovereign grand
lodge of Odd Fellows recently in session in
Richmond, Va, gives comprehensive re-
view of the work and growth of the order
in this country and Europe He reports
that the present year has been one of great
activity and that substantial gains have
been made in nearly every Jurisdiction.
The net gain in membership for the year
ending Dec. 81, 1899, is stated to be Az
$50, making the total membership $685.
572. When the members owing allegiance
to the neutrality-suspicious. grand lodges are
included, the grand total reaches l ,093, $780,
OF the net gain in membership 81, 1920 was
in subordinate lodges and 10, 842 in female
membership of Rebekah lodges. Included
in the grand sire's report are the statistics
of 90 years of the order, which show that
in that time $s4, 545, $50 has been distrib-
uted in relief work. While expressing the
highest appreciation of the work of the
subordinate and Rebekah lodges and en-
campments, the grand sire says he is dis
pointed at the militant branch of the order.

SPORTING.

Whittemore, the Brown University and
ex-Vermont Academy catcher, led the
Malone, n. Y, team in batting, with a
percentage of 1852 Malone won the cham
pionship of the Northern league, losing
only five out Of 10 games.
Jimmy Barrett, the Cincinnati clever
centre fielder, is the fielding find of the
season. During the one year that he has
been in the National league he has demon
strated that there is no outfielder in the
business that has anything on him.

from Randolph, who appears under the
colors of the New York Athletic club, won
the junior mile and the senior FIVE mile
Amateur Athletic Union championship at
New York Saturday in 35 5, and q Al

in the five mile event finished more than
100 yards ahead of Dick Grant, the ex-
Harvard runner.
Samuel rockingham, formerly of Brat
tleboro, won on Friday the Lenox cup,
which cost $500, and is the most valuable
trophy offered in Massachusetts. Mr..
rockingham represented the Lenox Golf
club and defeated Harry W. Allen, the
representative of the Pittsfield Country
club, four up and three to play. This is
the fret time a member of the Lenox Golf
club has won the trophy in the Lenox
tournament. rockingham was in fine
form in all the preliminary games, and in
the final contest was steady as a clock. In
the morning Is holes we're played, and
rockingham finished three up. In the
afternoon at p holes he had increased his
lead to seven holes. Allen by fine playing
won the next four holes, but rockingham
halved the 331 and the match was over.

There IL hut One Issue.
From the Philadelphia Ledger

Mr.. Bryan and his supporters may do
and say whatsoever they may, or can, to
make the evils of Imperialism, or the pred
atory encroachments of the trusts, the
paramount issues" of the campaign; but
there is no intelligent Republican or Dem
ocrat who does not know that there Is but
a single issue really paramount and imme-
diate in the pending contest, and that 1t is
not Imperialism or trusts, but the mainte-
nance of the national financial system
upon the invulnerable foundation of the
gold standard of monetary value. When
that issue shall be determined by the tri-
umph of the Republican party at the polls
the people, both Republicans and Demo
Gratis, can and will settle, and settle right
and definitely, the questions of imperial
ism and trusts. At present the one vital
question to be settled is that of the ma
tional currency system.

White River junction 10 BE the North
ern Terminus.

An important change will go into effect
on the Boston & Maine railroad next
month, when by an arrangement with the
Grand Trunk road, White River junction
will become the northern terminus of the
Connecticut River division, instead of
Windsor. All the through trains and
their crews will run through to White
River Junction, a distance of 124
miles, and the distance being so great,
changes in the runs of some of the crews
will be necessary. 1t is probable some ar
rangement will be made by which the crews
will not run as many days q week as now,
though this is a matter that has not been
officially decided. White River junction
has better yard facilities than Windsor,
and is better fitted in many ways for ter.
minal station. The new time table of the
Boston & Maine, which takes effect early in
October, will be arranged in accordance
with the new extension. The Grand Trunk,
which controls the Central Vermont, has
made the change in terminal possible by
entering into an agreement relative TO the
passage of trains over its tracks from Wind
sor to White River Junction. The plan
was talked of some time ago, and IL was
thought the arrangement would be per-
fected last spring, but it was delayed. 1t
is understood that the Grand Trunk com
pany will run through trains from Mon
treal to New London, and the Boston q
Maine men will run over the Central Yer
mont tracks between South Vernon and
Brattleboro and Windsor and White River
junction without change.

that by the treaty of Spain the United

for Spain, and to guarantee religious liber-

years. Gov. Shaw wants Mr.. Bryan to
