The Third House.

Not in years, if ever, has a more
radiant, comprehensive, far-reaching
systematic, energetic and withal sue
cessful lobby operated in Montpelier
during a session of the legislature
than in this year of especial grace
1900. Our leading citizens" from
every point of the compass are in it
to their necks and what gets by them
is exceedingly swift. They are not
really lobbyists, probably only an
advisory committee of private citi-
zens," sacrificing time and opportuni-
ties to acquire wealth in other chan
nels and throwing themselves into the
breach solely for love of the best in
terests of the dear old state. Of
course. And almost without excep-
ton they are jolly good fellows who
sever themselves from good cigars
freely and whom it is a pleasure to
know. Montpelier without it's lobby
would be the play of Sapho with Sapho
herself detained at home by neuralgia.

Dispatches received at Nashville,
Tenn, indicate that Ga lives were lost
and 81 people were seriously injured
in the tornado which swept over
northern Mississippi and central and
western Tennessee Wednesday night.
1t is believed that these figures will
be largely increased when the reports
are received from the rural districts.
The largest loss of life was in Column
bia, Tenn, where many cabins occu-
pied by the negroes were demolished
and 40 lives were lost. The town of
La Grande, 40 miles east of Memphis,
was wrecked and three persons
killed and six injured. Hundreds of

Hoyt's Funeral viii Be Held Today.

The funeral of Charles H. Hoyt, the
playwright, will take place today at
Charlestown, n. H.,lnstead of Saturday
as announced in the sketch of his life
on another page. Rev. B. S. Lassiter,
rector of the Episcopal church in
Charlestown, will officiate, assisted by
Rev. Howard f. Hill of Concord. 1t
is believed that there will be contest
over Hoyt's will. His nearest rela-
tives are distant cousins. A phase of
Hoyt's versatile career of which lit
tie has been said IN the newspapers
was his political experience. He was
twice a member of the New Hamp-
shire legislature, and was once the
Democratic candidate for speaker.

Fire Loss of s2oo. 600 at winooskl.

Fire which destroyed the Porter
Screen Manufacturing works at Wi
nooski caused a loss of 100000 and
threw 200 workmen out of employ
ment. The total amount of insurance
on the plant was nearly $1S0,000.
The fire started in the paint shop and
two men who were there at the time
were burned about the hands. They
disappeared during the evening and
suspicious are entertained that they
may have started the fire by smoking.
The fire was thought to be under con-
troll at one time, but it broke out again
and reached several barrels of oil and
other combustible material, and from
them the flames spread with great
rapidity.

New Dancer in China.

The Chinese situation viewed from
the American standpoint, does not i'm
prove. Indeed a new element of dan
ger is injected in the reiteration in a
new form of the original German pro-
posal that executions be made before
negotiations proceed. This demand
IS for the heads of the eleven Chinese
named in the announcement of Count
Won Bulow. On general principles
che Washington government is OPP
posed to this policy, since it fairly
doubts China's ability to comply. 1t
is, however, in some doubt as to
whether Minister Conger, in the exer-
else of his plenary powers, has not
already agreed to these, or similar
Germs. The preliminary negotiations
of the ministers at Pekin appear to
have come to a standstill, pending a
Strengthening out of tangle by the
home governments, and 1t cannot be
said that the actual opening of nego-
tiations with China is in sight.

Dozen Bank Robbers Hold Up Town.

A dozen professional bank robbers
made a desperate attempt to obtain
the contents of the money vault of
Sperry & Warnstaff's deposit bank at
Ashley, Ohio, 10 miles north of Della
ware, before daylight Tuesday. While
nine stood guard holding the citizens
at bay with their guns, three tried to
blow up the vault with dynamite. The
banks property is worth $4,000, and
there was $4,000 in deposits on hand
Four attempts were made to get the
money, but the side door of the vault
held despite the explosions. The
guards outside were compelled to
shoot at citizens to prevent Interrupt
ton. Two merchants, first upon the
scene, were met by the guards with
guns and babe not to move. The
robbers had stolen horse and wagon
and team and surrey from farmers
nearby. The rigs were in front of
the bank, ready for flight, but the
horses ran away demolishing the We
hicles, and then the men fed across
the country on foot. They fired as
they fed, but no one was hurt. They
have not been captured.

THE CIRCUIT OF KANGCHINJINGA.

Accounts have just reached England
of an adventurous journey in the high
est Himalayas that was made last fall
A party of Europeans made the circuit
Of Kangchinjinga for the first time and
at great altitude. Kangchinjinga is
q, $50 feet high, and under a somewhat
different spelling used to be one of the
glories of the Biographies, not only be-
cause it was the highest mountain in
the world. but because in difficulty of
pronunciation it surpassed even its
great African rival, KilimanjarO. It's
fame departed some years ago when
newcomer, surprising it in height with
a measurement Of 29,002 feet above
sea level, was introduced under the
prOsaic appellation Of Mount Everest,
though it's native name is Gaurisankar.
And there are those who assert that
there are higher peakes than Gauri-
shancar.
Europeans have made their way
along the eastern slope Of Kangchin-
jinga, in the Province Of Sikkim, and
so years ago Sir Joseph Hooker ex-
amined the great mountain from the
southwestern side. but no European
had gone around it and no man has
ever reached its top. Last September
an ey~oIi5ion Of Alpine climbers was
made up, mainly for the pleasure Of
mountaineering, with the complete
circuit of the mountain as it's self-im-
posed task, and it not only succeeded
in accompl shing the feat, but secured
typographical and scientific
besides. One result was
the discovery Of facts that seem to
make it not impossible to reach the
summit, so that the scaling of Kang-
chinjinga may yet be attempted. The
expedition was seven weeks in getting
around the mountain. The travelling
was all up and down hill, chiefly at
attitudes between $4,000 and 10000
feet, and in the course of it they
climbed up or climbed down $4,000

Unfortunately the threat Of 1896

menace of 16 to 1, therefore, still hangs
over US with all it's dire consequences
to credit and confidence, to business
and industry. The enemies of sound
currency are rallying their scattered
forces. The people must once more
unite and overcome the advocates Of
Reputation and must not relax their
energy until the battle for public
honor and honest money shall again
triumph. A congress which will sus

present law can prevent a financial
catastrophe which every lover of the
republic is interested to avert.
