Woodsmen Coming Into Duluth.

Mondays Duluth Herald: The
lumber camps are breaking up all
over the section adjacent to Duluth,
and every train on every road that
reaches lumber districts is loaded
down with lumber jacks. The Du-
luth & Iron Range train that ar
rived this noon had several coaches
full, and there were probably 25O in
the gang that rode in them. The
streets are full OF men from the
woods, and there are nearly as many
cappers for clothing houses and
other institutions who are after the
trade of the woodsmen with all their
might.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

Over by Team and Escaped
Unhurt,

TO escape unhurt from q perilOus

fry seemed the inevitable result, is
not the good fortune of many, but
such was the result OF an accident
that befell Mana Meyer, the young
daughter of County Treasurer JOS

about O'Clock.
The little girl crossed First street
from q. H..Brown's drug store to
the First National bank. In cross

She fell between the horses. The
horses were brought to a stop just
Al she fell, but they became excited

horses The driver quickly realized
the situation, and slackening the
reins the horses passed ON When
she was picked up, to the surprise

DEAR SIR:-
Replying to yours OF March 26th
would say that, in my Judgment,
the offices of city justice of the peace
and city attorney are Incompatible.
The accepting OF one OF these offices
by a person holding the other office
mentioned, would operate to vacate
the first office, hut would suggest
that the person desiring the appoint
ment of city attorney should first re-
sign the Office of justice OF the peace.
Yours very truly,

HIGH LICENSE.

Are the bishops and ministers who
are signing the local option petitions
interested in the liquor traffic? Go
gently Brer Monitor.
The above article appeared in the
Rutland Herald last week in reply to
an article which appeared in the last
issue of the MONITOR. The MONITOR
does not maintain that all who are
advocating the high license law are
interested in it for any other reason
than that they believe the State
would be benefited by such law, but
we believe that these men are but as
drop in the bucket when compared
with the number who are advocating
a license law because it would afford
them better opportunity for obtain
ing liquor, or those who wish for it
because of the financial gain which it
would be to them. If our contempo-
rary will examine a few of the petit
tions being sent in to Montpelier it
will find that nearly all of the clergy
are opposed to license, although there
is an occasional one who has become
disgusted at the manner in which the
present law is enforced in certain To-
calities and instead of striving for it's
enforcement is seeking to change the
law under the impression that the
conditions would be no worse. Some
may have been induced to sign high
license petitions by the plea that it
would bring the question before the
people and if defeated would strength
en- the prohibitory law. While the Ii
cense party can point to an occasion
al member of the clergy and other
good citizens in their ranks they will
have to admit that nearly every hab-
itual drunkard and large per cent
of those who would be allowed to
take out licenses in case the law were
passed, are all shouting against pro-
hibition and insisting that less liquor
would be sold under license law, and
with these advocates largely predom
mating it is nothing strange that the
people are 10th to believe that the Ii
cense party is really working, as it
claims, to lessen the sale of liquor.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.

In the house the most Important
feature of Tuesday afternoon was the
report of the committee on insane
The committee recommend that GER
tain repairs be made at the tBrattle-
boro retreat and that at least 200 state
patients be kept there. At Waterbury
they found the hospital overcrowded
and recommend an enlargement of
the male ward, a surgery and sewing
room in the ladies' ward. An appro-
priation of S29, ,951 to be divided as
follows: For laboratory at Brattle
boro, $4,000; for finishing work and
paying outstanding account at Water
bury, S5951; for nurses home at
Waterbury, $4,000
House bill to prevent the pollution
of waters of Willoughby lake passed
as amended.
The bill allowing females over
twenty one years of age to be elected
town treasurer, town superintendent
and town librarian, was passed by the
house this morning. -j .
House bill to provide for weekly
payments by corporations, was ad-
versely reported by majority OF the
committee. The bill was supported
by Bundy of st. Johnsbury, Thrall of
West Rutland, Barber of Barre town, 4
Stevens of Charleston, Smith of Hall
fax, Taylor of Hardwick, Porter of
Wilmington and George of st. Adams,
who proposed to amend by applying
the act to corporations employing so
or more hands. Bundy of st. Johns
bury and McFeeters of Enosburgh op-
posed this amendment.
Graham of Craftrbury-for the COM
mittee-Emery of Chelsea, Lane of

the bill.

AS an illustration of the ease and
| rapidity with which the house can
and does change it's mind, the case of
the bicycle sidepath bill is cited. 1t

and in the afternoon the vote was
reconsidered by vote of 179 to 80 on
yea and nay vote. Just few we'll
directed words from the members
from West Rutland and Randolph
changed the house squarely around.
Not an hour passes when the house is
in session but what opportunities are
seen by the careful observer when the
entire course of legislation could be
changed by few we'll directed words,
but it is very seldom that they are
spoken. The house votes with abso
lutte blindness and lack of informa-
tion as to the merits or demerits of
many measures, and as a consequence
the most ridiculous results are fre-
quently attained. The house is not
speaking body, less than any house
for years, which certainly has it's ad
vantages. But on the other hand, it
possesses decided disadvantages. If
bills were more frequently and clearly
not necessarily at length,
much benefit would certainly result
from clear understanding of what
was being and what should be DONE

OF THE CHINESE
DIFFICULTY.

A despatch to the Boston Transcript
says that the statement that the Pekin
conferences have resulted in an
agreement on the main points of the
demand to be made on the Chinese
plenipotentiaries and that the details
remaining will be adjusted in time for
a formal presentation Of a joint note
the last of this week, is the first def
mite announcement of the time when
caucussing is likely to cease and the
real work of negotiating peace to
begin. 1t is to be hoped that the
event will Justify the prediction. The
agreement reached is, of course, in
the nature of compromise. 1t is
already indicated that the United
States has made concessions, of mil
itary and not of political nature, in
the interests of speedy settlement.
These include an agreement to the
French suggestions that the Taku
forts be razed and garrisons establish
ed at Pekin and along the line of COM
munications from the capitol to the
sea. In connection with the prospect
that negotiations may be commenced
within ten days, additional interest
attaches to Washington dispatches
which discuss the probable effect the
treaty to be negotiated will have on
existing commercial treaties and trade
concessions. Shanghai sends out
report from Chinese sources THAT
Prince Tuan and General Tung Flu
Hsiang have severed their connection
with the Chinese court and raised the
standard of open revolt in KanSu,
and that imperial edicts have been
issued again degrading and ordering
to punishment these and other anti
foreign chiefs.

puShod that Will cause a feeling o
relief and that is the passage of the
Dewey appropriation bill by the
house. 1t was amended slightly but
not in way that will jeopardize it il
any way and it will be but few days
before it becomes law.
The fight, if there is to be any,
against the board of agriculture,
would have been terminated Thurs
day, if Mr.. Currier of Troy had been
in his seat. The bill abolishing the
commission was reported adversely
by the committee but through cour-
tesy to Mr.. Currier the bill was order
ed to lie. The house passed bill
allowing the construction of bicycle
paths after some debate.
In the house on Friday the bill to
abolish the state board of agriculture,
brought fourth long discussion, in
which many .members took part, Mr..
Currier, of Troy, leading in it's favor,
and Mr.. Davis of Pomfret, in opposi-
ton. 1t was finally dismissed.
In the senate the bill relating to
maintenance of a fish hatchery was up,
amended in certain minor respects
and passed.
A very important bill was introduced
in behalf of the committee on insane
relating to the dischgrge of persons
from an asylum. 1t authorizes the
supervisors of insane to conditicnally
n ,fo ,ho inf 1T6
ment, can be safely cared for at home.
for go days. If at the end of that
time no complaint is made supervisors
may permanently discharge such patti
ents. The passage Of this bill would
doubtless relieve the state from the
support of a large number of harmless
town paupers.
Tuesday was another busy day for
the legislature in which a large
amount of work was done and one
ma rked by the completion of the
election Of the state officers in joint
assembly. New military officers will
be in charge of the military depart
ment Of the state for the next two
years as follows:
Adjutant, Inspector and Quarter
master General Fl. Gilmore of
Fairlee.
Judge Advocate General-Hamilton
S. Peck of Burlington.
Not a dissenting voice was raised
against the choice of Gen. Gilmore
and the only opposition to Mr.. Peck
was 64 votes cast for j. j. Monahan of |
Underhill as democratic candidate.
and three scattering.
New bills calling for appropriations
of $33, 451 for the Vermont Industrial
school, the Brattleboro retreat and
the state hospital for insane at Water
bury. The largest single appropria-
ton is for a nurses home at the state
hospital at Waterbury. Some other
new bills of Importance were also in
troduced.
The state laboratory bill has finally
got through both houses and will not
delay longer other important legisla-
ton. The bill asfit now stands leaves
the fixing of the salaries of the officers
with the legislature instead of the
state board of health.
