A new CANNING FACTORY.

st. Albans, May "a. - Work upon
the corn canning factory is now pro-
crossing rapidly and there will be no
cessation of labor until it is ready for
occupancy this fall. The large and
spacious building will be located upon
the site of the old rolling mill at the
foot of Welden street.
The management OF the factory will
be in the hands of r. c. Payson & Co.,
and Geo. II. Lowell of Northtield, will
have local direction of the factory.
The factory management has al
ready given out seed corn to a num-
ber of the farmers in this vicinity and
next August the harvesting will be-
gin. The result this first year while
gratifying, will be small compared
with subsequent years. 1t is expect
ed that when the factory is in opera
tion the product of $50 acres or more
of corn will be canned.
The corn will be harvested as it
ripens and during the husking period,
which begins in August and extends
over a period of .loout siA weeks, fully
100 men, women and boys will be en-
ployed at the factory.

HOUSE OF CORRECTION
Mussey the Rutland Bank
Dafaulter Gets 7 Years.

Rutland, May 24.-The United
States court which adiourned at
Windsor last week opened at the fed.
eral building late yesterday afternoon,
Judge Hoyt H. Wheeler presiding.
Soon after the opening of the court
John c. Farrar, the defaulting cashier
of the Waterbury National bank,
pleaded guilty to the first count of
his indictment, that of abstracting
the funds of the bank. The other
two counts, embezzling and misapply-
ing the funds of the bank were nolle
pressed.
At the close of the plea Of his coun-
sci, II. A. Kemp of Montpelier made
an eloquent plea for Farrar. He said
it was one of an uncriminal motive.
The youth was victim Of circum-
stances. He spoke of his unimpeach-
able character hitherto. He left the
Burlington high school when Is years
old to enter the Waterbury bank.
The first irregularity was an over
draft and was within the knowledge
Of the officials. He continued to fal-
sfy items and incorrect footings.
Mr.. Kemp read petition Of II
Waterbury citizens asking for min
mum sentence. Judge Wheeler sem
fenced Mr.. Farrar to six years inn
prisonment, without hard labor, in
the House of Correction at Rutland.
Mr.. Farrar appeared in the court
room very composed and calmly an
swered. guilty, when the judge ques-
toned him. He seemed relieved
when his sentence, one year above the
minimum, was pronounced by Judge
Wheeler.
Cashier Mussey came into the court
room evidently under an intense ner-
vous strain and appeared to be fore
ing himself into state of calmness.
When Judge Wheeler asked the Gus
tomary question: "guilty or not gull
ty?" he quickly answered equity"
as if glad to have the ordeal over.
Attorney Martin stated that there
were in the bank notes covering every
dollar abstracted from the bank.
Judge Wheeler then sentenced the re-
spondent to seven years imprisonment
without labor.
The court room was crowded and
there was intense interest. When
Mussey was sentenced to seven years
I'm prisonment at no labor murmur
of dissatisfaction arose and the judge
requested order.
Mcclure was self possessed and
pleaded not guilty and his counsel
asked an adjournment to the October
term. This was granted, the judge
fixing his bail at $40, 900.

All the readers of THE TELEGRAM re
member that it was stated the Cen
tral Vermont Railway Company would
probably place Barre on the main line
by running through trains both ways
from Montpelier Junction to North
ROyaltOn and vice versa. in other
words the change would benefit the
road to such degree that one hours
time could he saved by so doing not
counting the saving in full and run
ming expenses.
1t is now an established fact this is
going to be pushed through at no late
date, and the fact that on the main
line, commencing both ways, the COM
pany is now distributing SO-pound
rails preparatory to laying the entire
road new, is something worth consid-
cring.
To make the fact more persistent
the officials of the G. V. made an in
Spection of the branch today from
Montpelier junction to Williamstown
so that it may be expected any day
that gangs of men will be seen placing
the new rails, thoroughly repairing
the track and building the road on
the new basis

were: f. II. Fitzhugh, vice president
and general manager: G. f. Soule,

The feeling was becoming general in
the community that the measures
adopted by the Board TO stamp out
the plague were not radical enough
and it was with hearty satisfaction
that the news was received yesterday
that the Board had decided, upon each
case of plague occurring, to immedi-
ately remove all well persons from the
building, as well as the patient, quar-
antine them and destroy the building
in which the case had occurred. This
is fighting the devil with fire. In view
there Is no safety in halfway meas

Yesterday man died of
the plague on Nuuanu street at 10 a. IN.
BY the middle of the afternoon eighty
residents of the immediate neighbour
hood had been removed to quarantine
quarters and the block of buildings in
which the death took place was burned
to the ground. This is heroic treat
ment, but it is a policy which gives as
surance of victory which no other does.
1t is a policy which carries conviction.
and so long as it is vigorously and in
diligently carried out the Board can
count on the support of the press and
the community.

THE FUTURE OF CHM.

Ile news from China never fails of
its Items about pirates on the rivers
and coasts and disorders among the in
terror population. In yesterdays bud
get we had word of. several acts of
piracy and there was the official an
nouncement by Viceroy that foreign
ers had better not attend great festi-
val because, if they did, the Govern
ment could not protect them. Such an
nouncements have been common for
years. During the war with Japan the
Chinese government declined to let
correspondents so with the Army be-
cause IL could not guarantee their safe
ty at the hands of Chinese soldiers. In
peace the situation, so far as protection
for outsiders is concerned. has the
same aspects. Only where the extra
territorial jurisdiction of foreigners en-
tends into the old empire can the
white barba. ians" command respect.
There is no native law that gives
them the slightest consideration. They
must be ready, at all times, to defend
themselves or be able 10 summon when
needed the resources of their own gov
ernments
1t is on these accounts thar the civil
lied world is gradually Remembering
the Chinese empire, and we do not
doub, rhab they afford justification
enough, \ free and independent China
is little better than fierce, dull con-
servatism, standing in the way. 1t is
averse to commerce. trade, education,
internal Improvement and religious
Torrance and it will never amount TO
anything in the sum of the worlds prog
ress while lief, to its own devices. But
Europe and America, by breaking il in
to pieces and keeping them, may make
of China a powerful contributor 70 the
resources of trade. There are endless
mineral deposits in the empire such as
iron. coal, copper, lead, silver and gold.
The command of ConfuciuS to live off
the earth and not TO NEEDLE with the
mysteries beneath its crust, keeps the
Chinese from developing them. What
is needed 10 break through this super
s,.Iious distrust of the chief agencies
which produce riches and create COM
merce are the sladge-hammer blows of
lthe mailed fist OF foreign aggressive
ness. The sooner these are delivered
the better for civilization as whole.

PAGU PAGU HARBOR

Rear Admiral Farquhar has an in
teresting article in the Independent
about Page Page harbor in which he
says that, in obtaining fun possession
in the treaty with Germany and Eng
land, the United States secures a naval
station Of great strategic value for the
future protection and development Of
our growing Pacific commerce. The
need of this harbor in the samoan
group was keenly appreciated years ago
by naval officers stationed on the Pa
cific coast; but, if 1t was considered of
special value five or ten years ago, its
importance since the Spanish Ameri
can war has more than doubled and
tripled The control of it may almost
be looked upon as necessity. 1t lies
in the direct route of our future com
merce between San Francisco and the
far east, and it will therefore prove OF
an advantage that any one can appre-
ciate who studies its location in the
Pacific in connection with our new
possessions there.
The island of Tutuila, writes Adj
miral Farquhar, is OF little value 10
us or any other country except for
naval purposes. 1t would hardly be
worth negotiating for If it We're not for
its strategic value in forming link
