The announcement of the election of
Mr.. Bundy was wildly received. He
was escorted to the band stand and
made a short but excellent speech. He
thanked the voters for this expression of
confidence and said it was the happiest
moment OF his life. He congratulated
the democrats on winning a victory after
so many successive defeats; he thanked
the republicans who had voted for him
he thanked in closing, the labor
union, for their support and said that
it meant an expression of sentiment
for weekly payments. At the close
of his speech he was drawn through
the streets riding in a bicycle
carriage, by many OF his supporters.
In the evening large number of our
townspeople called on Representative
elect Bundy, The St. Johnsbury Band
gave concert after which Mr.. Bundy
made short speech. The visitors were
then invited to the house where they
were royalty entertained. The crowd
then went to Senator-elect Dunnett's S
house where they were briefly addressed
by Mr.. Dunnett and then invited into
the house to partake of his hospitality
During the evening there were bonhres ii
various parts of the town and it was not
until midnight that the streets were
quiet.
This is the first time since the forma
ton Of the republican party that a dem
ocratic representative has been chose1
from St. Johnsbury, but we are informed
that so years ago democrat was
elected.

ST PETERSBURG, Dec. 24--The Novoe

SOLDIERS WHO kk-ENLIST
MAY GET BOUNTY.
Gen. MacArthur's Recommendation
May Relieve situation In the
PHILIPPINES.

WASHINGTON. Dec 24-As result
of a conference between the secretary OF
war and Quartermaster General L.udlnS-
ton ii has been decided that no further
action can be taken with regard TO the
return of the volunteers from the Pnilip-
pines until congress shall make provision
for their replacement. The war depart
ment Is considerably embarrassed by the
failure of congress to make provision be-
fore the recess for the relief or the mill
tary situation in the Philippines. Acting
upon representations made by Gen. Mac
Arthur. the department has concluded
that 1t Is absolutely necessary to maintain
an army of 60.000 men in the Philippine
islands until the current policy of estab-
fishing municipal governments throughout
the archipelago has been executed.
1t Is stated at the department that with
any reduction of the. military strength
below that figure under existing condi-
tions would doubtless prove most dsas-
trous to the interests of the United
States
There are now about 5000 troops. regu-
lars and volunteers, in the Philippines.
and arrangements have been made al
ready for bringing home 5000 of that num-
Der. No further reduction will be made
until the war department Is advised fully
of the purpose of congress with regard
to army legislation.
When the necessary authority has been
given. 1t is the purpose of the department
TO bring home as rapidly as possible all
the volunteers and regulars whose terms
of enlistment expire on the 30th of June
next but not before ii is possible to re-
place them, man for man. with recruits
enlisted under the terms of the new army
bill
1t Is expected that congress will act,
promptly on the army bin soon after the
reassembling of congress In January.
However. II will not be possible to get the
fresh troops, so 1t Is said at the war de-
partment, to the Philippines inside of two
months. The general homecoming move
ment of the mass of volunteers therefore
Will have to be postponed until about Feb
ruary Is That will give the quartermas-
ter's department but five months time
to bring home the remainder of the vol
unteers and the regular troops whose
terms will expire at the same time ag-
gregating about 5000 men. before July /.
This understanding Is believed to be be-
yond the capacity of the transport sys-
tenn as at present organized. and may ne
cessitate the chartering of additional
steamships
Recent cable advices from Gen. Mac
Arthur indicate a strong desire on the
part of the volunteers generally to return
to the United States and that compare
lively few of them are likely to re-enlst
unless the most liberal inducements are
offered. Ii Is understood that Gen. Mac
Arthur has recommended that a bounty of
$3.50 be allowed to each soldier in the Phil
ippines who re-enlists for another term
and the plan Is said to meet with the
favor OF the officials of the war depart
ment.

CAN REACH THE CLAIMS.
Irreguiarity I'm Filings Upon Mining
Property In Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24--Inquiry at the
state department discloses the fact that
no official notice was ever taken by the
department of a statement affecting in
some measure Oscar r. Williams who
had been consul In Manila before the
Spanish-Am American war. Capt. Burritt was
the author OF this statement, and being
In charge of the mining bureau in the
Philippines. in the course OF his annual
report 90 Gen. Macarthur. commenting
upon the finding in an irregular fashion
OF an enormous number OF mining claims,
said.
The record discloses an underlined but
apparently close relation Of Hon. Oscar
i. Williams, as United States CONSUL with
the inspectorate OF mines, that Is of such
nature as to seem to require a state
ment of the facts appearing In the records
OF this bureau"
Capt. Burritt then recites some cases
where the consul had certified to certain
claims some time after the claims had
already bees allowed by the spanish min
ing officials, The general statement Of
the report Is that certain mining men.
foreseeing the overthrow OF Spanish SOW
reignty In the Philippines, had filed claims
upon everything in sight in a mining way
But Consul Williams is no longer United
States consul. The mining claims filed In
the irregular fashion referred to are. how
ever yet within reach and II Is said at
the war department that the Philippine
commission Is about to take them IN
with view Of passing upon their validity.
Mr.. Williams Is now at his home in SYRIA
