A HOT POLITICAL FIGHT.
The Situation Becoming Interesting
in the First District.

Rutland, April 4.-The Daily News
of last Saturday contained an editorial
stating that Governor Pages friends
charged Judge Powers with system
attic attempt to pack the caucuses for
the district and state conventions and
that Powers emphatically denied the
charge. Monday night the News pub
lished the following letter from l.. IL.

and Citizen:

statement of facts.
At the Rutland and Burlington con-
ventions Gov. Pages friends did
charge that the preponderance Of
Powers sentiment was the result of
a premedltated attempt to pack the
conventions. Powers, through the
st. Albans Messenger, denied the
charge and an Investigation Immediate
ly followed. The result is disclosure
OF the fact that Powers had written
letters calling upon his friends to be
at those conventions in force.
Here is an exact copy of letter
written by recognized Powers lead.

er, to gentleman who has held high
honor in an elective Office in this

tion. Gen. Dickson met with great

Montpelier, April 24.-The case of
John A. Roeblings' Sons Co. VS.. the

yesterday, and the defendant COM

case will probably last all day and it
is uncertain just what case will fol-

for trial. Some of the first were w.

An unusual situation was presented
to Judge Tyler yesterday by George
L. Swasey and H. w. Scott, attorneys
for Everett Wiley of Barre. Wiley
is clerk of the Phoenix house in that
city, which is owned by Thomas Sui
tor. Last week a complaint was
tried before Justice A. G.. Fay,
charging Suitor with keeping nui-
sance. Wiley, at the time resting
under charge of keeping liquor with
intent to sell, was called as witness
for the state, and refusing to testify
was committed to the county Jail for
contempt. 1t seems that there is a
law in Vermont compelling witnesses
to testify, but which provides that
the evidence shall not be used against
them.
There is, however, a constitutional
provision that no man shall be COM
PEELED to give evidence against him
self, and it is claimed by Willey's at
torneys that under the circumstances
he could avail himself of the constitu-
tional provision. Willey's attorneys
brought the matter to the attention
of Judge Tyler, and made application
for writ of habeas corpus and the
Judge has taken the case under con-
sderation. An important question
is whether Wiley can be admitted to
bail before Supreme Court convenes

FILIPINO LOSSES.

General Otis ought to put a
cur b bit on his typewriter lest
1T become unmanageable and
bolt with him into inconsistent
cies that may trouble him to
explain. The statement that
the Philippine insurrection was
positively ended and that hos
tilities were confined to guerril-
la bands has scarcely been
properly digested when another
report emanates from the type
writer that, during the month
of April, 1,721 Filipinos were
put to death in the course of the
operations.
To the average American, not
accustomed to wade bride deep
in gore, a loss of 1921 lives
seems considerable. To the
average American a heap OF
1.721 human bodies would seem
fearfully and wonderfully
large. Such a loss would ar
que to the ordinary American d
battle with tens of thousands
of men engaged on each side.
Such d battle, of course, would
be impossible considering that
insurrection is ended. Amer
leans are driven to attribute
the ire mendous loss of life
among the Filipinos to the slip
ping Of a cam or the alteration
of shifting rod on the type
writer which with General Otis
uses in his military operations.
General Otis should watch
this. The Spaniards in Cuba
had similar trouble keeping
their typewriters from slipping
cogs, and the losses among the
Cuban, insurgents in conse-
quence were something to, take
the breath of the civilized
world.-St. Louis Republic.
