The steamer Seattle has arrived at Sc
attic, Wash, from Skaguay with 800 pas
sengers, of whom 100 were from the Klon-
dixie. A ton of gold was on board The
largest individual holdings were in the
name of S. G.. Noyes, who had three sacks
and one box containing $50, 900 in gold
dust. These men are fresh from the dig
gings, and confirm all previous estimates
as to the amount of gold to be taken out,
none placing it at less than 500, 900, 600
and some as high as $50, 100000 The ex-
odus from Dawson to Nome still continues,

Body In the River.

The body of a man partly submerged
was discovered Monday afternoon in the
Winooski river near the Taylor street
bridge in Montpelier. An alarm brought
800 people, including city officials, to the
spot in a short time. A hat found on the
bank was identified as that belonging to
Major Seth johnson, whose wife had that
morning informed the officers that her hus-
band had been missing since Saturday
night. There was bad cash in the head,
and it is believed that johnson fell back
ward from the high wall Saturday night,
that his head struck jagged boulder, kill
ing him instantly, and the body toppled off
into the river. Johnson was granite
cutter, about 40 years old. He leaves a
wife, but no children.

Gen. Pho Del Pillar Captured.

Native police, assisted by detachment
of the 21st infantry, captured Gen. Pic
Del Pillar, the noted insurgent leader, at
San Pedro Macati, Friday. Pillar was re
garded as one of the most active and un'
compromising of the rebel chieftains. After
the disruption of the insurgent government,
and the dispersion of nearly all the lnsur'
gent organizations north OF Manila, Fiiar
managed to concentrate considerable
force at St. Miguel de Mayumo, in the
province of Bulacan, and although he was
unable to hold the place for any great
length of time, he succeeded in withdraw
inc his troops to the mountains and eludine

Indictments Against the Shaws.

A special grand jury of the Windsor
county court, which was empaneled to CON
slider the Shaw cases, returned five bills,
which were made public Saturday, against
Dustin and Frank Shaw for breaking Jail
and impeding officers; also bill against
Dustin Shaw for murder. Other indlct-
ments will undoubtedly be docketed. There
is considerable curiosity as to the fate of
Frank Shaw, the more notorious of the two
prisoners. Young Shaw's wounds are fast
healing, and it is noticed that as he con
tinues to improve his disposition is becom-
ing more amiable. 1t is probable that he
will be able TO stand trial at this term of
court.

The schools at West Point and Annapo-
lis for the training of army aud navy Off
GERS will hereafter turn out larger gradu-
ating classes than ever before. The legis-
lation of the recent session of Congress
provided for an increased number of ca
diets in both institutions, in all 200, of
whom 175 are to be appointed this summer.
An innovation in West Point practice is
the placing of an appointment at the dis
posal of each United States senator, so
that there will be two cadetships -at-large
from each state. The old custom Of con-
filming appointments TO the Annapolis
school to representatives of Congress and
the President has not been changed in any
way.
To the senators entitled to nominate for
West Point the war department will send
a request to name principal and alternate
not later than July 10, the 18th being the
date of the entrance examination. The
President has about 20 nominations to
make by that time, and he is expected TO
bestow the favOrs for the most part upon
the sons or relatives of army officers, who
have no settled residence. The West Point
academy can easily accommodate 800 ca
diets, so that with the increased quota the
school will not be overcrowded. The effect
Of the new law providing for the gradua-
ton of naval cadets after four instead of
siX-years' course, opens III vacancies
there, which will be filled as soon as the
accommodations of the institution will
allow.
1t is expected that this enlargement of
the two institutions will, within five years,
provide trained officer for every vacancy
In the lower ranks of commissioned officers
in the army and navy, thus eliminating
substantially appointments from civil life,
which have been so common the past two
wears.
