NEWS FROM THE FRONT.

Humphrey Campbell has received a let
ter from Arthur, hi son, who is member
of Company 6, Twenty sixth regiment
United States Volunteers, now in service in
the Philippines. The letter was written
from Panay island on Thanksgiving day.
Mr.. Campbell had just closed a twenty-one
days march in which 1856 miles had been
covered. In its progress hundreds of rivers
were forded and the troops oftentimes wad-
ing hip deep through mud, the stencil from
which was revolving. He said the heat
from the sun was something terrific and
when the men arrived in camp their feet
were so sore they could hardly bear their
weight upon them.
His company had at the time OF writing
only lost one man, and that by fever, since
1t had been there, period of over year,
during which it has seen much service on
the firing line. In recent three hours
fight with the insurgents Mr.. Campbell was
wounded in one arm from bullet which
cut furrow some six inches in depth
When he wrote the wound was healing
rap dlg. He is of the opinion that the fight
ing on large scale is nearly over, as the
Filipinos are scattered in little bands and
are hard to catch, they being too quick for
the American soldiers. He said when our
troops entered Filipino town it was
laughable to see the white flags rushed out
OF the windows of the houses, everything
being used for p3ace emblem from a
white rag to shirt or pair of white pants.
In speaking of the endurance of the Fill
pinos he said at the present time there was
one confined in the regimental hospital
who, before being captured, sustained sew
en- bullet wounds, two bayonet thrusts, and
finally rifle was broken over his head.
Notwithstanding all these wounds the Fill
pino was getting along finely.
Mr.. Campbell said the menu for his
Thanksgiving dinner was made up OF
six slices OF bacon, five pieces of hard tack
and a cup OF coffee. He expresses the hope
OF eating his next Thanksgiving dinner
with his parents in Montpelier. He said
the local drink there is called tuba and is
made from the milk of the cocoanut 1t re-
requires but little of it to intoxcate man.
The cocoanut is very plenty and the sol.
diers use them freely as the milk is especial
ly adaptable for quenching thirst caused
by the intense heat of that tropical climate.

CANNOT ENFORCE MILEAGE LAW.

Gov. Smith arrived in the city Tuesday
TO meet ID. j. Foster Alfred e. Wat
son and John ID. Miller, of the State rail-
road commission, and Lieut.-Gov. II. G.
Bates and r. L. Fish, to co lsider with them
the advisability OF proceeding further in the
mileage book cases now in the United
States Circuit Court, and which were to
come up at a session Of this court to be held
IN Burlington February 81. Lieut.. Gov.
Bates and +. l.. Fish were the attorneys ap.
pointed by Governor Smith to defend the
cases brought against the State railroad
commissioners and the States at iorneys in
the several counties through which the
railroads of the State pass to prevent them
from enforcing the mileage law passed by
the legislature of 1898
The history OF the attempt TO enforce the
law may have been forgotten. Shortly af-
ter the adjournment of the Legislature of
1898 the State Railroad Commission took
steps to compel the St. Johnsbury and Lake
Champlain railroad to comply with the pro-
visions Of the law and place on sale a
mileage book good to bearer at the rate of
two cents per mile. An order was issued
Tor the company to comply with the law on
or before the 105h OF January, 1899 Before
that time certain OF the bondholders OF the
road brought bill in equity, asking that
temporary injunction be granted forbidding
the commission and the States attorneys OF
the counties through which the road passed.
who were also charged with the enforce
ment OF the law to act, and also forbidding
the company to comply with the order of
the commission,
This temporary Injunction was granted
by Judge Wheeler. Shortly after the same
steps were taken with the Rutland rail-
road, which adopted a similar plan of de
fence. Lieut.-Gov. Bates and States At
torney Fish. who had been commissioned
by the governor, pushed the matter for
ward until decision was reached by the
United States court. In the case the court
held in effect, that the State could not COM
pei railroad to sell mileage books at a
rate per mile less than that at which they
were compelled to sell local tickets and that
such course meant that man with $50
could buy mileage and travel at a less rate
worth OF transportation. In other words
it was held that If the State attempted to
fix maximum tariff for passengers per
mile it must also make the tariff uniform.
Ii Judge Wheeler holds in the coming ses
sion OF the circuit court that the decision
OF the court Is in point, nothing further can
be done to enforce the law and the perma-
nent Injunction will probably he ordered
to prohibit the enforcement of the law.
All the parties were present at the meet
ing held this afternoon, and after consulta.
lion on the various aspects of the question,
1t was the unanimous opinion that the de-
cision in the Michigan case, handed down
in the United States Supreme court last
summer, was controlling in these cases, and
therefore the mileage book law could not
be enforced, and that it would be useless TO
put the State to further expense in attempt
ing to enforce it, so the cases will be pushed
no further.

TIE ROXBURY BURGLAR

In July last the store OF G.. A. Tilden &
Company at RoxbUry was burglarized, and
ever since that time the officers have been
quietly on the lookout for Alfred Constine,
who Is charged with the offence.
Constine was located at Lebanon, N. II :,
on Friday by Deputy Sheriff M. E. Chase
who arrested him there and brought him to
Montpelier. Constine was arraigned in
court and his bail was fixed at 81 900. This
he was unable to raise and he was remand
ed to Jail.
1t Is understood that Constine is "want-
ed" by the federal authorities after the
State is through with him. Some time
previous to the breaking and entering OF
the lilden store. the post office at Roxbury,
located in the store Of ID. l.. Nichols, was
burglarzed. In searching the home OF Con.
stine after the Tilden burglary the officers
discovered goods which Mr.. Nichols pos
itively identified as stolen goods from his
store. From these facts 1t Is understood
the government will attempt to make out a
case.

COTTON MARKETS NOT INFLU-
ENCED BY MANIpULATIVE
TACTICS.
GOOD COMMON SENSE.
GOOD COMMON SENSE.

10 accept for governing influence, idle
speculations as to what might happen, or the
too common "if' of interests avowedly manip-
ulative, and the only ammunition of the bears
in cotton this season, against facts and all in
formation of an authoritative character, is the
essence of folly; skepticism can not 90 hand in
hand with faith. Truth is what is wanted on
our side, though many show disposition car
ing not to be ON the side of truth investiga-
ton, careful study of figures at hand and
comparisons with former years and past sur
rounding conditions, lead to one conclusion
only, that nothing less than miracle can pre-
vent our staple from realizing in its price every
legitimate factor having bearing on this
market.
Query as to what cotton is actually worth,
wei hing carefully extraneous conditions, con-
vinces us that a cent a pound above the present
level is fully justified and much higher price
than eight and one'half cents is a probability
before the later months of the current cotton
year, doubles before coming May. Too
many get over anxious for events that, though
delayed none the less surely will soon be his
tory and such history as the most ardent bull
cotton to-day will most pleasantly refer
to. Theories are all right in their place but
in the matter-of-fact commodity markets of
this world, their claim is pre-empted; neither
do they add bale of cotton to this seasons
production assist in rendering the position
of the foreign spinner any more enl liable.
A worlds visible under previous years and
daily growing less, Liverpool stocks the
smallest for years and daily growing less, port
stocks diminishing and exports increasing, the
daily movement of this crop, and every fact
obtainable is exceedingly bullish and cannot
be ignored. The investor with both capital
and a cool head who shrewdly takes advant-
age of the present cotton market will be amply
rewarded for what his friends will call Long
headedness and foresight" )" when in fact it was
