Quebso-vsrmont Line.

The state department at Washington has
been informed by Commercial Agent John
son, at Standbridge, that steps are being
taken to re-establish railroad connection
between Quebec and Vermont. The old
road, owing to its inability to meet liabil-
tiles, was closed to traffic IA years ago.
An American company has leased the road
for term Of 90 years, and already has be-
gun the work of reconstruction. The road
extends from st. Lambert, opposite Mon
treal, via Chambly, to Freligsburg and the
Vermont line, distance of SO miles. From
this point it extends to Sheldon junction,
where it connects with the Central YER
mont railroad, and also with the Boston &
Maine line, running south to Burlington.
''This road" says Mr.. johnson, twill open
up new agricultural section of Quebec,
and will, in a measure, increase the trade
between this district and the United
States"

Forbearance has ceased TO be a military
virtue in the Philippines, according TO news
that comes from the war department. Lord

in dealing with the insurgents and the eff

posed to give them taste Of real war, and
though the innocent may suffer, it is only
by this means, it is believed, that the guilty
can be reached. When Secretary Root re-
turns 10 Washington final instructions will
be cabled to Maj. Gen. Macarthur relative
to the operations to be conducted.
In accordance with the instructions sent
him few days ago, Gen. Macarthur has
been mobilizing the troops under his com
mand, and is collecting them at points con-
venient to the districts in which the insur.
gents have been especially active. Through
spies and scouting parties he is gaining in
formation of the whereabouts Of troops of
Filipinos.

many of the insurgents who have been SO
active during this rainy season are now
posing as amigos, and viii probably main.
tain a seemingly friendly attitude until an
opportunity for wiping out a small detach-

Believing that the suppression Of the re.
bellion in Luzon will be followed by the
restoration Of peace in other parts of the
archipelago, Gen. Macarthur will devot'
himself particularly to the military opera

Have Money on worthless Security.
A report has been circulated that g. L.
Closson, cashier of the First National bank
of Springfield, Vt, was $40, GOO short in his
accounts.
Representative f. g. Field, who is presi-
dent of the First National bank, said in an
interview at Montpelier Monday night:
20. L. Closson, our cashier, who is faith
err of G. L. Closson, jr., of the defunct
brokerage firm Of Knott & Closson Of Bur
lington, allowed his son TO draw $4,000
from our bank and took as security deed
of real estate, which the directors Of the
bank have since found to be worthless.
The bank has called on the -bondsmen Of
the cashier, who are Miles Smith, W. II.
H. Slack, John Slack and Adna Slack, to
make good the shortage.
"The hondsmen say we need not sue
them; they want to investigate the matter
and if the facts are as represented they
will pay the amount. Any one Of the
bondsmen is good for the shortage and to-
gether they are worth many times that
amount.

good
"Mr. Closson, the cashier, is still in his
place at the bank, as the bondsmen wished
him to remain there for few days until
they had investigated the matter. He is
an old man and thoroughly honest and we
are all sorry for the trouble he has brought
! upon himself
"The bank is running right along receiv-
ing deposits aud loaning money the same
as usual. This thing has caused no anxiety
among the depositors and there is no cause
for anxiety on the part of any one. This
worthless deed was made over TO the cash
Ter personally and not to the bank, so
the credit of the bank is in no way impair
ed by this unfortunate transaction of its
| cashier.
