Kinley touches the high water mark OF
national prosperity and individual con-
tentment. 1t sees the dawn of a new era
in which the United States takes her
proper place as the leader of the nations
in the expanding influence of it's high
civilization for the uplifting of mankind.
During the past two years we have en-
gagged in foreign war for the cause of
humanity, and by its remarkably sue
cesslul issue have found ourselves ex-
banded under the laws of God till we
have become the guardians of millions
of human beings with the possibilities
for our power for good limited only by
the world horizon OF human life; and the
great and new problems thus presented
can be most safely dealt with by a con-
tinuance of republican rule under Nc
Kinley.
And now fellow republicans suggest
ing to you the necessity of our doing
our full duty so that when September
comes, and in all the states the people
are waiting to hear from Vermont) may
the tidings go forth: Progress,
principle in the policy of William Nc
Kinley, who is a splendid representative
of the best republicanism, which is the
embodiment of the highest thoughts of
American civilization,-is dear to the
heart of every republican in Vermont.
Thanking you for your patient consider
alton | call your earnest attention to
the furthur business of the convention.

Occupied the Time of the House Yes
terday-Many Heartfelt Tributes.
WASHINGTON, January 26.-The
greater portion of the session of the
House to-day was devoted to eulogies
upon the life and public services of
the late Vice President Hobart The
tributes paid to his memory were not
the usual p~erfunctory eulogies, but
breathed the love and admiration and
respect in which he was universally
held. Those who spoke were Messrs.
Gardner, Stewart, Parker. Fowler, and
DAILY, of New Jersey: MIR. Payne. of
New York; Mr.. Dalzell and Mr.. Bro
sius, of Pennsylvania; Mr.. Richard
son, of Tennessee, and Mr.. Griggs. Of
Georgia.
Before the eulogies began the con-
ference report on the census bin was
adopted and an attempt was made to
pass a bill to pay the cost of repairing
the Manila cable. which Dewey cut
just prior to his great victory. Oppo-
sition developed, however, and it went
over.

The last direct German mails to the

An incident illustrating the bitter
ness of popular feeling in Germany
against England is the appearance OF
a pamphlet to-day entitled: The
Final Reckoning With England" This
pretends to describe events in 1881,
and sets forth descriptions Of naval
battles in which Germany defeats Eng

British empire ensues, with Australia
declaring her independence, and the
other British colonies being divided
up amid various powers.

MANILA, January rs, GAS p. ma
dispatch from S%orsogon, dated Thurs
day, January %, says: Brig. Gen.
kobDe's expedition has occupied Sorso-
gon, Donsol, Dulan, Logaspo and yirac,
on Catanduanes island. The only re-
sistance was at Logaspi. where five
Americans were wounded and As dead
and Is wounded Filipinos were found.
1t is estimated that there are pa. 900
bales of hemp in these provinces and
10000 bales in the ports of Sorsogon
and Legaspi. The United States gun
boat Nashville's shrapnel burned S0,-
900 bales in Legaspi. The expedition
arrived off Sorsogon January 90 and
the town displayed white flags. Gen.
Kobbe and Col. Howe, with a battalion
of the Forty-setenth infantry, landed
and raised the United States flag. The
insurgent force, numbering 800 men,
evacuated the place. The natives were
passive. During the morning of jan
uary % the Nashville and Venus,
with foul companies of the Forty-sev-
enth infantry regiment. under Major
Shipton, approached Legaspi. Filipino
flags were flying and the trenches
eyre crowded. A detachment of $50
picked men. led by Major Shipton,
landed on the beach about a mile north
of the town. The Nashville bombarded
the trenches and the enemy retreated
to Albay, whence they were easily dis
persed to the hills.
About 200 insurgents, armed with
rifles, forced 600 unwilling villagers,
armed with bows and arrows, to serve
in the trenches in the close range
street fighting before the enemy fed.
The Filipino dead were mostly villag-
ers who were attempting to flee.
The expedition will proceed to Sa-
mar and Leyte, where the F~orty-third
infantry and a battalion of the Third
artillery will be distributed.
The natives complain of lack of food,
resulting from the blockade. They
are strongly opposed to the return of
the friars. Native priests are officiat-
ing in the churches.

TOLEDO, Ohio. January 26.-Thf
mystery surrounding the supposed
death or disappearance OF Oliver Pike,
whose body was supposed to have been
buried at Delta, o., four years ago,
received apparently its final solution
to-day when the genuine, living Oliver
Pike walked into his mothers home
in Delta and was fully identified and
recognized by his mother and other
members of the family.
-Four years ago Pike went West and
secured a position as attendant in an
asylum in Washington territory.
From there he disappeared, and
shortly afterward a body, supposed to
be that of Pike, was found in a trunk
in a Chicago railroad depot.
There were two claimants for the
body, but Pixies family claimed to
fully identify the body, and it was
turned over to them and was buried
in the family burying plot at Delta.
Two years ago the mother received
a letter purporting to be signed by her
son, who said he was now bearing the
anne of Harry Price for personal rea-
sons. After some correspondence the
matter was dropped with no other re-
suit than almost to craze the mother
with suspense.
The neighbors entirely doubted the
veracity of the letter writer, but to-
day no turned up in person and was
received into the bosom of his family.
He can explain nothing of the iden-
tity OF his substitute. buried four years
ago, and around whose strange appear
ance in a trunk the mystery still
hangs.
