Vermont Botanical Club.

The semi-annual meeting of the Ver-
mont Botanical Club was held at Will
loughby Lake July II and ~. More
than twenty were present, including such
we'll known botanists as President
Brainerd of Middlebury College, Pro-
fessor Jones of the University of YER
mont, w. W. Eggleston of Rutland, and
Others. In spite of occasional showers
collecting trips were made to the top of
the mountain, to the famous Garden Of
Eden" at the foot of the cliff, and to
several interesting bogs, where semi
aquatic plants were to be looked for.
Inasmuch as this region has been
thoroughly explored many times by
famous botanists, there were few new
species to be found, but those alpine
plants for which Willoughby is botani-
cally famous were nearly all discovered,
including Saxifraga aizoides, Saxifraga
oppostifolia, Draba incana, Braya
humiles, Primula, Mistassinica, Woodsia
alpha, Woodsia glabella, etc., and many
rare sedges and grasses. Altogether the
trip was pronounced one of the most
successful the club has ever had.

Missionary Addresses.

Luther D. Wishard, of New York, who
is engaged in the forward movement"
of missions in the Congregational de-
nomination, spoke at the South church
Sunday morning on the cause of mis-
sions, both home and foreign. Mr.
Wishard gave remarkably strong ad-
dress and as result of his visit the gifts
for missions in this church will be in
creased at least so per cent. the coming
year. The church are also planning to
support one or two missionaries in the
the home or foreign field.
In the evening Mr.. Wishard addressed
both congregations at the North church.
He traced in his eloquent way the
history of the student volunteer move
ment from the meeting under the hay
stack at Williamstown, Mass, in 1906
to the present time. He said 1900 stu
dent volunteers were now in the field
and 5000 more were waiting to go.
In closing Mr.. Wishard spoke briefly
on the situation in China. He said that
the Chinese had been greatly underesti-
mated by the rest of the world. They
were law. abiding, as witness the long
history of their empire. They possessed
indomitable courage and were the
shrewdest business men of the Orient.
When converted they made excellent
Christians, and after the present clouds
had lifted he expected to see a great
awakening in China.
As result Of his address at the North
church it is expected that money will be
raised by the church to support one or
more missionaries in the field.
Mr.. Wishard was accompanied on his
trip to St. Johnsbury by George L.
Marsh, graduate OF Grinnell College,
who is student in the Chicago Theo-
logical Seminary. Mr.. Marsh addressed
the young people of both the Congrega-
tional churches on Sunday and also
spoke in the Sunday schools. He is one
OF the student volunteers and is interest
ing young people in missions and start
ing educational classes wherever he goes.
Mr.. Marsh comes from good missionary
stock, being born in Bulgaria, and has
made very pleasant impression on the
people of this town.

TRYING TO SETTLE STRIKE.
But No Agreement Has Been Ar
rived at in st. Louis.

St. Louis, June 2,--Developnients in the
strike situation to-day caused hope to
bound high in the public breast, and in
many quarters, confidence was expressed
that the curtain was about to be rung
down on the prolonged struggle between
capital and labor.
But tonight the word was passed around
that the Citizens Committee, which has
labored so zeaiously to bring about an
amicable adjustment of affairs, had failed
to consummate it's object, and again hope
gave way to bitter disappointment.
Early in the day the Citizens Commit
tee submitted a proposition for settle
ment of the strike to Edward Whitaker,
president of the Transit Company and to
ex-Gov. William ]. Stone, attorney for
the railway mems union, the salient point
OF which was, that the railway company
should restore to its employment not less
than 800 additional within ninety days
after the proposition is accepted The
proposition further provided, that as soon
as the first thousand men have been pro-
vided for, the company shall re-employ
as many more of its focmer employees as
there shall be places for. either by reason
Of vacancies that shall occur, or the future
extension of the conpany's business.
Inns pioltoSltiOH met WIKI the enttr0
appreciation of Mr. Whitaker, and he ap-
proved 1t forthwith. Gov. Stone called
the members of the strikers Grievance
Committee together. and they went into
secret session to consider the proposition.
The conference was a lengthy one, con-
tinuing until 6 o'clock After the ad-
journment none of the members OF the
Grievance Committee would divulge what
had transpired.
AT the conclusion OF the conference Mr.
Stone stated chat The committee had
made no progress. He said
I'VE reached no conclusion because
desire some information that is absolute
ly necessary before we can act
81 can say, however. that the propo-
sition will have 60 be changed before we
can accept 1t.
Il desire to say that the Citizens Com
mittee did not succeed in SCI lring from
the company the concessions that they
led us to believe they would secure. The
proposition as submitted does not 60 to
the length promised by the company"

Havana, June 2.--Rumors having reach
ed the authorities that Mr.. Rathbone in
tended to leave the island of Cuba, he was
notified that his presence was absolutely
required in Havana until the Investigation
into the postal affairs had been COM
pleted.
The postal officials now In charge state
there are most cogent reasons why Mr.,
Rathbone should remain in Cuba, even if
they were compelled to resort to force to
keep him here. 1t Is understood that addi-
tional important facts connecting the off,
cials with postal frauds have been brought
to the ears of the authorities, who, how
ever wish to avoid even the appearance of
harshness in dealing with these cases.
Mr.. Rathbone explicitly denies any In
tention of departing from Havana but
Notwithstanding this, summons was, is
sued by one of the judges for him, which
was made returnable at the time the
steamer Havana sailed. The principal
reason for the issuance of the summons
was to obtain under oath, Mr.. Rathbone's
statement regarding Nicely. The proceed
ings were held in secret, only the Judge,
the clerks, the attorneys and Mr.. Rath-
bone being present. What occurred at
the hearing is not yet known.
