GOVERNORS DAY
Fair Weather and a Great
Crowd At
CAMP GOV. SMITH.
The Boys in Good Health.
The Cup Contest.
Especial to TELEGRAM.)

Camp Gov. Smith, Aug.-lt is a
beautiful day here and the showers in
the night have made the grounds
clean and sweet.
1t is Governors Day and great
crowd is present. Every train and
every electric car comes loaded with
visitors.
The boys are feeling sore over the
loss of the Trophy, but are collecting
evidence that they will use later to
good advantage.
The Burlington kid glove company
is wholly to blame, as it is admitted
that Co. L made the best scores by
far of all the companies.
A battalion will be sent out this
afternoon, destination unknown, and
this evening scouts will be sent after
them and if discovered by the scouts
early in the morning the regiment
will seek them out and sham battle
will result.
Regarding the contest the following
is all that the officers will give out:
"Owing to some irregularity the
rifle shoot which the Vermont Ma
tional Guard had here yesterday has
been declared off. The trophy will
be held by Colonel Estey until such
time as he sees fit to order another

Washington, Aug. 16. 1t is strong
ly suspected that the message from
M. Pichon, dated in Pekin, Aug. .,
is one of several identical messages
sent by the Pekin ENJOYS on that
date to their respective governments.
The Chinese minister at Washington,
who is also the accredited minister OF
China to Spain, received in company
with the Conger message a cable de-
spatch from the Spanish minister at
pekin to the Government at Madrid.
1t was in the Spanish code and has
been forwarded. The British Gov
ernment also received message from
Sir Claude Mcdonald. These facts,
with the Pichon message, give rise to
a not unfounded belief that the min
listers at Pekin have again addressed
ar{ identical note to their govern
ments. NJ. Pichon's despatch is an
energetic and almost indignant pro-
test against any negotiation with
China that will delay the march OF
the international column to the res
cue of imperlled lives. 1t also states
that rations for Is days-siege ratlons
of emergency food at that-are all
that is available. Both these items
are such as it might seem best to the
American and British governments
to suppress for obvious reasons

To put it mildly the people of Bar
re. are highly indignant at the man
,ner in which Co. E has been treated
ff~tf1e matter of the Trophy Cup
that has been shot for by the differ
ent companies for several years at the
annual muster 1t has been held by
the kid glove company from Burling-
ton.
1t is freely talked on the streets
that had the Barre company been
composed of sons of rich men instead
of honest working men, every one OF
which is true gentleman, however,
the result of the competition would
have been different.
Col. Estey comes in for the full
share of the blame and it is freely
talked that he has had it in for the
Barre company.
An official investigation ought to be
ordered by the Governor and the mat
ter sifted to the bottom.
All the Burlington papers say the
decision was a great surprise and the
one topic in camp and they and the
Messenger admit that the Barre com
pany had fairly won the cup.
The Free Press says:
"The cup contest decision was the
principal topic of discussion in the
morning by the men and the state
ment of Col. Estey that there had
been irregularities in some Of the com.
panieS and because of this the contest
would be declared off was received
with great deal Of surprise. Nc
official statement was made for publ
cation"

New York, Aug. 16.--Dr. Mon
tague A. Leverson was seen at his
residence last evening by represen-
tative of the Associated Press He
said that he was regular correspon
dent with Filipino agents in this
country and had written the letter to
Senor G.. Apicible, part of which was
published today.

ter are substantially what ] wrote,
with the exception Of a few verbal
inaccuracies which may be accounted
for in the double translation of the
contents, he said
"There is, however, an commission

is where l explained why Mckinley S

ter, of which failed to keep copy,
that piracy was shown by the fact
Congress had not authorized war
against the Filipinos and the Presi-
dent had no power to send troops
against them without the consent Of
Congress.

part of the letter which reads

London, Aug. 16.--"The allies are
reported to have reached Pekin Mon
day." says the Shanghai correspon-
dent of the Daily Express wiring yes
terday. He adds, "Chinese official
news confirms this statement, but
without details. ~
A Paris message repeats this but
the statement, especially as it ema-
mates from Shanghai, must be accept
ed with considerable reserve.
A despatch to the same paper from
Shanghai, dated yesterday says that
the officials profess to be willing to
hand over the foreign minister's their
families and servants, but will not
permit the departure Of native
Christians.
"The Russian government, con =
tinues this telegram, "haS notified
Ii Hung Chang of its willingness to
receive M. DeGiers outside the walls
of Pekin, thus avoiding the entrance
of the Russian force. This indepen-
pendent action is calculated to en-
barrasS the allies seriously. Japan
demands that Gen. Yung Lu shall
meet the allies outside the city gates
and deliver the ministers and all the
native Christians.

London, Aug. l6. -- The fate of the
bcsicgcd legations in Pckin should not
hang in the balance much longer.
Reports to four capitals show that the
rescue column did not halt at Ho-si-
WI, but has continued its advance,
meeting no effective opposition. Fri
day it was at Matow, only twenty
seven miles from Pekin. Today it
may be under the walls of the capi-
tai. From military point of view
all depends upon the effectiveness of
the Chinese defence. Any but a
Chinese force would make a serious
resistance here, for the walls would
give protection against rifle fire, and
though they can be easily preached
by modern field artillery, there is
some doubt as to the number of guns
the allies have been able to keep
abreast of the infantry and cavalry
advance.

Twenty-Five Hundred Natives of the
Region, Mostly Fighting Rebels,
Take the Oath of Allegiance.

Manila, Dec. 3.-Sunday in Vigan
was a great day for the American
cause. Twenty-Five hundred natives
o. the region, nearly all fighting reb-
els, crowded the church and took the
oath of allegiance to the United
States. The oath was administered
by the priest. All but 500 of those
sworn were Bolomen. The number
included the 1900 Bolomen who had
previously surrendered.
1.-THE proceedings in the church oc-
cupied the entire Gay, and included
an address by Gen. Young and an ex-
bortation by the priest. Scarcely any
rebels remain in the vicinity of Santa
Maria. Gen. Young attributes this
fact to three cause.-the reelection
of President Mckinley. the arrival of
a stronger body of troops, and the
especially rigid enforcement of war
measures, and the deportation of
prisoners to Manila. He reports that
it is necessary to occupy all the bar
racks in order to protect the natives

THE NORTHAMPTON CASE.
AIuItimiuiOnaire Robert j. CFapp
COnfesses to the $2.OOO,OOO
Bank Robbery of 1876.

Northampton, Mass, Dec. 1.-The
whole mystery of the famous $2,OO0,-
600 Northampton bank robbery OF
1876 has just been cleared up. Rob
ert j. Clapp, worth $5,OOO,OOO, gained
in honest pursuits, has confessed that
as youth he helped James Dunlap,
Bob Scott, Red Leary and "Shang"-
Draper, a clever gang of safe crack
ers, to put through the gigantic
scheme which was at once the talk
of the world. Clapp's life has been
full of romance. He has run
gamut from a scapegrace and tramp
to a comfortable millionaire. His
wife was an Indian squaw, but she
died shortly after their marriage. 1t
was she who revealed to him the Sc
cret of the Pelly river, Alaska, an
brought to him the knowledge that
has given him his gold. Dunlap and
Scott, with Leary and Draper, plan
ned the great Northampton bank rob-
berry and got away with nearly 3d.
100000 Leary and Draper restored
their share and got off without a
sentence. Dunlap and Scott were sent
to state prison for Is years each.
Scott died IN prison in 1852. Dunlap
was pardoned in 1892 by Gov. Rus
sell, of Massachusetts,,
Till Thursday it was never known
that Clapp was ever in the gang.
