lola AND FATHER.
handlers Published About the Latter
Must Be Set at Rest.


A new grief has come into the tur-
bulent life of Emile lola. the distin-
guished French novelist. and it has
almost Frustrated him. Hitherto he
has only suffered for himself; now the
memory of his dead father has been
attacked, and he is almost frantic. His
partisanship for Dreyfus in his battle
for honor against the Vaccinations OF
the army officials has brought this
sorrow upon lola. 1t seems that years
ago his father. who was a skilled en-
gineer, emigrated to Austria and as
sisted in the construction of the first
railroad built in Europe. Having COM
pleted this work. he entered the
French army, served in the Algerian
division and retired in 1888 as civil
engineer to Marseilles. The original
plans for an extension of the Mar
settles harbor were prepared by him.
Others were chosen, however, to see
the work done, and, disappointed.
Francois lola went to AK, where the
triumph of his labors was to be his
lot. The municipal authorities trusted
him with the building Of the great
canal which yet bears his name. In
lS47 he died suddenly. Now the enc
mics OF his son are declaring that
death was due to suicide in the effort
to escape punishment for defrauding
the municipality Of AK in the matter
Of the harbor contract. To vindidate
his fathers name Emile lola now
AYERS he will devote his entire life He
recognizes the difficulties in his way
the enmity OF the military power
but declares that he will never rest un-
til all suspicion of misfeasance shall
be blotted from the name Of a father
whom he dearly loved.

Orientals as Soldiers.

No European nation has succeeded in
holding or controlling tropical posses
sions without the aid Of native troops
Moreover, these can be maintained at
a much smaller cost than white SOL
diers, not to speak of the great expense
of transportation. Two-thirds of the
Dutch army in Java is composed Of
native troops Spain. before the insur-
rection, had over $4,000 natives doing
military service in the Philippines, and
England's success in converting the
Egyptian fellahs into good soldiers Is
another example Of how apparently

Chinese Learning.

There Is much to be learned after
the world captures China. Many sci
entists believe that the nucleus Of
great events is imbedded amid the
mysteries Of that great region Of
country, which may not be so benight-
ed as is generally supposed. The pres
ervation Of grapes, to make use of one
illustration of Chinese industry, is one
of the many things that is only known
in that country. Millions have been
spent IL civilized countries in futile
attempts to preserve this fruit. The
Chinese have known the secret for
many centuries and millions more
have been vainly used in the effort to
drag from them the recipe

The New Navy.

The House of Representatives has passed
the naval appropriation bill, with pro-
vision authorizing the construction of two
additional battle ships, three armored
cruisers and three protected cruisers. The
$545 figure on armor plate was stricken
out, while the attempt to provide for gov
ernment armor factory was unsuccessful
The bill remains substantially in the form
as reported from the naval committee.
In explaining the measure, acting Chair
man Foss said that 1t carried total appro-
priation of S6l, POO 900, an increase over
all acts appropriating money for the naval
service this year of nearly $4,000, 900, but
reduction of more than $S,000,00 from
the estimates of the department. The two
additional battle ships are to carry the
heaviest armor and most powerful ord
nance for vessels of their class upon trial
displacement of about IS, 500 tons, to have
the highest practicable speed and great
radius of action, and TO cost, exclusive OF
armor and armament, not exceeding $3,-
600, 900 each. The three armored cruisers
are to be OF about $4,000 tons trial dis
placement, and to cost, exclusive of armor
each, while the three protected cruisers are
to be of about 5000 tons trial displace-
ment, and to cost, exclusive of armament,
not exceeding $2,S00,0O0 each. All OF
these vessels are to be built by contract.
The present regular navy, including all
ships authorized or under construction,
consists of 2l5 vessels, of which 10 are
first class battle ships. There is an auxil-
iary navy of SS vessels. According to Mr..
Foss our navy now ranks fourth among
the navies of the world, followed closely
by Germany. The ranking navies are
England, France and Russia. In II years
the United States has risen from goth to
fourth place among naval powers.
The maximum cost of the vessels author
lied .by the present naval bill is $2S, $780,
600, the largest naval program ever sub
mitted by the committee at one time.

BRATTLEBORo, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1900.
EH.JudRe Jamea Rnrrett.

Judge James Barrett of Rutland, whose
death is recorded in another column, pre-
sided over the terms of Windham county
court-with the exception of few terms
when he exchanged with other judges
from and including the spring term of 1861
until his retirement from the bench in De
cember, 1880. He was strongly attached
to this bar, and was in return held in high
esteem by the bar and by the people gem
orally. If the present system had been
adopted in his day, by which the judges
follow each other through all the counties,
instead of each judge having two counties,
as formerly, Judge Barrett would probably
have remained upon the bench until com
PEELED to retire by the infirmities of age
Owing to some peculiarities of his tempera-
ment he lost the support of the bar of
Windsor county, and through its influence
he failed to secure an election by the legis-
lature in $780, His intellectual aud pbys-
cal vigor was remarkable, and but for the
partial loss of his sight he might have done
efficient work until he had reached the age
of fourscore years.
Judge Barrett was a profound student of
the science Of the law; he believed that the
legal profession was an exalted one, and
constantly urged upon young men to be-
come well grounded in legal principles,
holding with Lord Coke that che who
knoweth not the reason of the law know
eth not the law" He had high ideas in
respect to legal ethics, and held lawyers
strictly TO their duty in professional integ-
rity and honor in their relations with each
other and with the court. he was some
times impatient and sometimes severe with
lawyers when they did not conduct causes
in accordance with his ideas, but under the
harsh exterior he had a kind heart.
Judge Barrett most excelled in his work
in the supreme court. His opinions, run
ming through the reports for nearly quar-
ter of a century, exhibit great legal learn
ing, and for conciseness, clearness and vigor
Of style they are models in English compO-
sition. 1t may be said of them as ex-Min-
lister Phelps once said of the opinions of
Chief Justice Shaw of Massachusetts,
"The reader is at loss TO know which
most to admire-the erudition displayed
or the strength and beauty of their style"

THOUSANDS HOMELESS,
Hull Destroyed, and Ottawa Badly
Damaged.

Fire Ragged All Day Yesterday on Both
Sides of the River and Destroyed
$500 Dwellings, Factories, stores and
Other Buildings.
Five square miles of territory burned
over; more than $500 dwellings, factories,
mills, stores and other buildings DESTROYED,
entailing loss estimated to reach 500
100000, and between 10000, and $1,000
men, women and children homeless, is a
rough estimate early this morning of fire
which has been raging in Hull and Otta-
wa, Canada, since II o'clock yesterday
morning and up to midnight was not COM
pletely under control.
Most of the lumber piles in Ottawa and
Hull have disappeared and are now mere
heaps of only charred wood and ashes.
Half a dozen churches and schools, a
number of mills, the Hull water works,
the Hull court house and Jail, the post
office, the convent-almost every business
place, and about 1000 dwellings and shops
in Hull have been destroyed. Indeed,
practically nothing of Hull is left but
church and few houses beyond it.

when from 600 to 700 rebels, a quarter of
whom were armed with rifles, determined
ly attacked the Americans, charging their
positions and fighting at close quarters.
The engagement lasted all the afternoon,
the enemy burning the town, but they were
repulsed after the arrival of American re-
Inducements.
The Americans have obtained evidence
that the alcaldes of Lapo, Magsingal, Cab
ugas and Sinait we're holding treacherous
communication with the insurgents, i'm
prisoned them and burned Lapos town
hall. There have been several minor fights
in the province, including an attack by
200 insurgents on Lavag, April II, 40 Of
whom were killed and Is captured. There
were no American casualties at Batoc,
where $50 insurgents were killed and 20
caDtured.

The feature of the week in the senate
rial contest has been the appearance of a
circular signed by John Young of New
port, one of the ablest lawyers in the state,
who supports the candidacy of c. A.
Prouty. Mr.. Young devotes his strength
largely to humping Gen. GrOut. He asks
whether the General has become a leader
of the House in his 16 years of service
there, and whether he has originated any
legislation of Importance either to the state
or nation. Mr.. Young answers his own
queries by saying the General has intro
duced SO bills, 80 being private pension
bills and two others private bills of no i'm
portance. Mr.. Young says that of the four
public acts three related to local affairs in
the district of Columbia, and one to the
erection of public building at Newport,
Gen. CIRCUITS reply to this circular is
awaited with interest.

Tramp and Purse Disappeared.

A one-armed tramp was recently arrest
ed for vagrancy and begging at Springfield,
VT, and Judge Lawrence sentenced him
to go days at Rutland. Some of the Off
GERS thinking it an extra hard dose prevail
ed on the judge to let him off, the tramp
agreeing to leave the state.
After he had been gone a short time a
purse was missed which had been on the
table in the office of A. M. Allbee, where
the trial was held, and which contained
$50. Hot haste was made to recapture the
tramp and he was found in Charlestown,
n. H., with companion. They were both
lodged over night at Charlestown. AL
though they had considerable money, no
evidence could be found that could hold
them and so they were allowed to 60 on
their way rejoicing.

Matthew S. Quay was refused on Tues
day a seat in the United States Senate on
the appointment of Gov. Stone of Pennsyl-
vania, by a vote of 80 to 33. The country
at large applauds this verdict, considering
it not only just, but in accordance with an
unbroken line of precedents covering a
period of 100 years. The question ought
to be settled for all time that a governor
has not the right to appoint a person to
represent the state when vacancy hap
pens during the session of the legislature,
such vacancy being caused by expiration
of term. Mr.. Quay is great power in
the political world, and in his two full
terms in the Senate he had made warm
personal friends there, some of whom sac
rificed principle to friendship in voting fol
him, when in other similar cases theil
votes had been cast in the negative.

HardshIps I'm Msfskinr.

Lady Sarah Wilson, in despatch to the
London Mail from Mafeking, April s, says :
Our bread is now made entirely of oats
and is full of husks. This causes much
illness. There are many cases of nervous
prostration and malarial typhoid among
the garrison.
The news of the check to the relieving
column is terrible disappointment. Last
Friday 33 natives issued forth to recover
some cattle which had been looted by the
Beers. They were betrayed by unfriendly
natives to the Beers, who surrounded them
while they were sleeping and shot them,
giving no quarter. One escaped to tell the
tale. The natives are now mad for re-
venge, and it will be very difficult to con-
troll them.
The bombardment continues. Our cas-
ualties to combatants up to the end of
March aggregated in killed and wound
