RubouIc Plague Honolulu.

A native, suffering with all the symp-
toms Of the bubonic plague, was found in a
house In the walled city at Manila We'd
nesday. He was isolated and every pre-
caution taken to prevent a spread of the
disease. Two suspicious deaths have oc-
Cured In Manila within short time. The
Chinese district In Honolulu, in which
cases of the plague were reported, has
been surrounded by an armed Gordon. An
appeal for funds TO stamp out the plague
brought $25, 900 within six hours. Fumi-
CATION plants and crematories were estab-
lished az the four corners of the infected
district, and six dead bodies were burned
within "a hours after the discovery Of the
first case. The insular council appropri-
ated S250,000 for the immediate use of
the board of health While there was
something like a pauic at the first discov-
cry Of the presence Of the pestilence il is
believed that the energetic measures in
stituted will be sufficient to prevent its
spreading TO other parts of the island The
plague is raging In the French island col
ony of New Caledonia, north of New
Zealand.

"The New Year is doubtless to open
with our cotton market on a frmer basis
than has ever been the case before, every
thing taken into consideration. Four
months of our cotton year have passed,
months that average to bring into sight
two-thirds of the years production, and
the amount now reported as received at
port and all interior towns is Financial
Chronicle, Dec. 29) $500, 403 bales, against
1917, 14t last year same date, a decrease
this season to date of 1 ,696, TAI bales. The
movement for the season confirms the
Bureau Reports estimate of s, 900, coo bales
and the continuation of our small receipts,
falling off from week to week, in proper
ton to the gradual shrinkage always the
case from this date until the close of the year
in September, will bring the total figures
down to point even under the small es-
innate of the government. Speaking of
the recent markets and the exceedingly
small receipts this season the New York
Evening Post of Dec. 26th has the follow
ing that is well worthy of the careful peru
sal of everyone interested in the cotton sit
uation this year.
" If the crop has been underestimated
the receipts would have increased materi-
ally long before this, with the approach of
the Christmas holidays, which always
causes farmers to sell in order to secure
Christmas money, and merchants to do
likewise to clean up their accounts to the
first of the year as far as possible. Then
again we have had panicky stock markets
for over fortnight, with abnormally high
rates for money, and the demoralizing in
fiuence on European and Continental trade
of the South African war and its disaster
thus far to the British arms and prestige
Notwithstanding these conditions there has
been no material increase in the receipts,
and the worlds visible supply is now about
100000 bales less than last year, and is
actually $500, ,403 bales against 1917, IA
year ago last Friday
''The strength of our contract markets
lies in the frmness of the markets
throughout the South, and thsir advancing
tendency, which is due to the basis of our
whole structure, and that is, very small
yield and an urgent demand. Our own
consumption, regardless of foreign require
ments, seems more than sufficient to main
tain present values and through the bal
ance of the year at the present rate of do
nestle needs, allowing for no increase, will
in all likelihood place our contract markets
in the near future on a very much higher
level" say KNOTT & CLOSSON, Cotton
Commission Brokers of Burlington, VT,
in their letter of this week just at hand.

BeTogglng the Issue.

The Montpelier Argus, ignoring the
general conditions, now attempts TO prove
that the country is not prosperous by max
ing exaggerated and false statements about
the situation in Brattleboro. This town
was hit hard during the depression for the
reason that its main industry is not de-
voted to a necessity of life. The revival
in business throughout the country has
been felt beneficlally here, however, and
the present conditions are better and the
outlook more cheerful than in several
years.
Our contemporary has attempted to be-
fog the issue under discussion and has
had nothing to say about the statement Of
The Phoenix that in 1899 railroad earnings
were several per cent higher than ever be-
fore, that merchandise exports we're larger,
the record of the iron and steel trade en-
tirCly without precedent and trading fail
ures smaller than in previous years.

Fltchburg Railroad Lease.

Boston g. Maine Trying Co Secure the
Line, which Would Give Direct VEST
trn Connection and NullIfy the Conn
petition OF the RuIlRnd Road.
Preferred stock of the Fitchburg rail-
road went up 10 points to l25 Wednesday.
The first explanation was that the New
York Central road was willing TO pay more
than 5 per cent on the Fitchburg's stock
rather than to fight for the completion Of
the lease with the Boston & Albany road
before the legislature in the face o. much
opposition. Later a Fitchburg road direc-
tor was quoted as saying that the New
York CentraPs offer was improbable, but
there might be a chance for the Boston ~
Maine to lease it. The presence in Boston
Of w. Seward Webb, however, was sug-
gested as a good reason for the first report.
Late in the afternoon another report was
circulated TO the effect that the Boston &
Maine road was trying to lease the Fitch
burg, and this Is acknowledged to be fact.
President Tuttle of the Boston & Maine
road is quoted as saying in response to an
inquiry: 81 have nothing TO discuss at
present. It is understood that the pro-
posed lease calls for . per cent rental, and
is dependent in measure upon the sue
cess Of the Fitchburg IN Obtaining traffic
guarantee from the New York Central, in
case the latter road succeeds IN leasing the
Albany. This situation has not been con-
sidered hitherto. 1t has been taken for
granted that If the Fitchburg were leased,
it would be to the New York Central.
The opposition of the Fitchburg to the
leasing of the Albany on the present terms
takes on new aspect. By the acquisition
of the Fitchburg the Maine would obtain
direct western connections and would to a
great extent nullify the competition of the
Rutland. This latter road was taken over
by the Vanderbllts some time ago, and
when its extension across Lake Champlain
is completed TO connection with the Og-
densburg and Lake Champlain, It will be-
come a competitor Of the Central Vermont
and other roads whose freight traffic enters
Boston over the Boston IL Maine. The
Rutland traffic is diverted to the Fitchburg.
II the Boston d Maine controls the latter,
all traffic from the Northwest would come
to Boston over its lines.

Col. Porter II. Dale Of Island Pond an
nounced his candidacy for Congress in a
signed communication in the Island Pond
Herald last week, in which he said: "The
suggestion of my name, the press COM
ments, and the advice of good friends have
had thoughtful consideration, and while
my business interests make 1t impossible
for me to engage in a personal canvass,
whatever support for this Office may come
naturally and as heartily to me will be as
naturally and heartily appreciated. l con
slider the ambition honorable, have weighed
the conditions, and you may announce
that am an aspirant for the place, and 8
candidate at this time"
Col. A. A. Hall has written straight
| forward letter to the st. Albans Messenger
answering the statement published outside
the First district that his candidacy fol
Congress was in the interest of some othe
candidate. He says that sat the sugges
tion of personal friends, announced m!
candidacy in my own interest, not in thu
! interest of any other man or candidate
with full confidence of ultimate success If
received the support of my friends, espec
tally those in the county where have spen
my business life" He says emphaticalll
that there will be no trading of delegates
as far as he is concerned, and asks tina
friends who deem him worthy, who ma!
be elected delegates, vote for him II
convention until nomination is made, be
lieving that the just claims of FRANKLIN
county for the office will be recognized b!
the Republicans of the First district.

The Inauguration of w. Murray Crane
as governor of Massachusetts, took place in
Boston yesterday and was an imposing
ceremony. The state house was thronged
with visitors during the day. The inaugu-

like document and was well received. He
called halt in public expenditures.
The grand jury, which has heard the
evidence in the charges of civil service law
violation against Senator Jacob H. Gal
linger at Concord, N. H., reported no in
dictment. Senator Galllnger made an ex-
tended statement for publication in which
he said; "For the faithful and unselfish
service gave my party and its candidates,
l have been illuminated by certain men,
investigated by the United States civil SER
vice commission and presented to a federal
grand jury for indictment. The whole
affair has been dlscreditable personal pO-
litlcal persecution. II has ended precisely
as knew 1t would end, and as almost
every self-respeeting citizen of the state ex-
pected II TO end"

Ro.r. have Long Intrenchm.n,s.

The latest news throws no further light
upon the situation in South Africa. The
exact position at Molteno and Cyphergat is
not yet clear, but in any case these little
engagements are of small importance be-
yond proving that the British forces are be-
ginning to attain a greater degree of mo-
bility. 1t is fully expected that next week
will see heavy battle on the Tugela river,
which is now the real pivot of the cam
paign. The Beers appear to be working
necessarily with shovel and pick. Lord
Methuen's cavalry scouting has developed
the fact that the Boer intrenchments ex-
tend some 40 miles, far overlapping the
British positions and making flank attacks
exceedingly difficult. The Boer trenches
confronting Gen. Butler stretch away some
II miles and the work upon them is push
ed unremittingly.

Fighting LevIathans.

The naval board of construction has
agreed upon the design of three new bat
tleships-to be called the Georgia, the New
Jersey and the Pennsylvania-which will
surpsss in fighting force any vessels now
aaoat. These ships will have displace-
ment of $4,000 tons and speed of at
least 10 knots. The Oregon's displace-
ment is Ii 900 tons, and the new Maine's
12,300. There will be two superimposed
turrets, one fore and the other aft, each
containing two 12-inch and two S-inch
guns of the new elongated bore and high
smokeless powder velocity The remain
ing guns of the main battery will consist
of II 6-ineh quick fire in the broadside.
This arrangement of battery has been final
ly adopted instead of an alternative plan
which provided for four 12-inch guns in
turrets and 10 6-inch broadside, which
had been put forward to avoid the expedi-
ent of superimposedE turrets. The two
story turrets, which are distinctivey
American innovation as applied to the
Kearsarge and the Kentucky, are regarded
as no longer of doubtful success, and it is
known that foreign governments are pre-
pairing to adopt them to secure the con-
centratlon and angle of fire they Sc
cure, which is unapproached by any other
expedient. These vessels will cost 81, 900, :
900 each and they win be able to cruise
1000 miles straightaway,

Another German steamer seized. i.

A despatch from Berlin announces that :
"The Imperial mail steamer General has
been detained at Alden and occupied by
British troops, with the object of search
ing her cargo, which is to be discharged.
The General is owned by the German East
African line, the owners of the Bundesrath,
previously captured By the British cruiser
Magicienne off Delagoa bay" The seizure
of the steamer General has considerably
aggravated the situation in Berlin, and the
Indignation is intensified. The govern.
ment is still earnestly trying to preserve
correct official relations, but England will
do well to hasten to make the amende hon
orable TO Germany.

Secretary Gage talks in an optimistic
vein. He says our manufacturers have
found their way into the markets of the
world to the extent of Sos, ,OOO,O 900 more
than last year and we have bought from
our foreign friends $15S, 100000 more of
their goods than in 1898. The secretary
believes that when our foreign possessions
are in state Of peace and war expenses
are reduced our income will be ample for
all ordinary needs and leave a margin for
the long-neglected sinking fund. A year
ago the receipts were $s4 ,OOO 900 less than
the expenditures. The receipts since July
have exceeded the expenditures by $20,-
00O, 900.

The Phoenix is not an admirer Of II. II.
Powers and does not support his ambition
to return to Congress another term. This
paper, however, finds the attempt of the
tyro In the editorial chair of the Ludlow
Tribune to make out a case against the
Burlington Free Press for its support of
Powers amusing in its display of ignorance
of affairs of recent date. The Ludlow con-
temporary says the presiding genius of the
Free Press is in Congressman Powers's s
debt, ani explains that in 1897 Powers
supported Editor Benedict for a second
term as collector of customs, against the
expressed wish of large share of the
prominent Republicans of the state, and
that Benedict got It," Republicans
throughout the state had an impression
that Olin Merrill of Enosburgh "got it,
or at least the larger part of sit" Mr..
Benedict was shut out in the cold and MI.
Merrill was made collector of the district
of Vermont, while the new district of Mem
phremagog was created with Il. NJ. Mansur
as collector.

The open door in China seems TO be as
sured. Official pledges that the treaty
rights of the United States shall be re-
spected in any territorial acquisition have
been procured by the state department
from Great Britain, France and Germany,
Russia and Japan, and Italy, the only re-
naming country addressed, will probably
make favorable answer. This wins the
whole case, and leaves our great and grow
ing Chinese trade impregnable, whatever
partition there may be of the Chinese en-
pire.
