manner affairs went on until Governor
Tryon issued a proclamation offering a
reward of &150 for the capture of AL

Seth Warner and five others. Not rec

in this matter, Allen and his friends
sent out a proclamation, offer

would take and deliver the attorney
general Of the Colony Of New York
to any officer in the military associa ton
Of the Green Mountain Boys. That
gentleman had been particularly active
in the warfare against them, and was
in consequence an object of special dis
like.
Allen, seeing only his duty in thus
setting at defiance the authority of
New York, went forward perfectly re-

execution of the trust reHOsed in him
by his brother pioneers. The settlers

events went on from bad to worse, the
hostilities growing more determined,
the enmity deeper.
How long this state of things would
have continued, or to what pitch it
would have been carried, no one can
tell, had not a common cause united
the people in resistance to a common
enemy. The smaller feud was eclipsed
by the greater. Ominous clouds of
tyranny on one hand and opposition to
ii on the other were slowly gathering
in the political horizon of the young
colonies, and the Battle of Lexington
announced the first thunder-burst of
the Revolution. Vermont, now recog-
nized as an Independent state, boldly
stepped to the front in the contest for
liberty, and Ethan Allen was her
standard bearer.
Eight days after the Battle of Lex
ington a plan was on foot for the
capture of Fort Ticonderoga, on Lake
George, and the seizure of it's cannon
for the Provincial Army at Boston
This fort, together with Crown Point
constituted the key of all communica-
ton between New York and Canada,
and was consequently a point of great
strategic Importance.
The scheme for its capture was a

dollars was loaned from the treasury
of the state to carry the plan into ex-

Sixteen men were collected in Con-

{ In a few days after the seizure of
Ticonderoga, Colonel Allen sent Captain
Seth Warner to Crown Point just in
time to join Warner in taking pos
session.
Benedict Arnold had arrived from
Massachusetts just before the expedi-
ton for Ticonderoga set out, commits
stoned by the Committee of Safety of
that colony to raise men for the same
purpose. Finding an organization al
ready under way, having in view the
same object he endeavored to assume
command, and lead them to the fort
ress himself. But the Green Mountain
Boys would not permit their beloved
commander to be supplanted by a
stranger, and to prevent disturbance
Arnold submitted to the dictation of
the majority, and went as volunteer
His conduct on the occasion was brave.
He had marched by the side of Allen,
and entered the fort with him. After
the surrender he again attempted to
assume command. but his orders were
not obeyed, and he was once more
obliged to look to Allen as his ranking
officer.
A scheme was entered into at this
time between Allen and Arnold for the
purpose of Selling the garrison at st.
Johns, and taking possession of royal
sloop which lay there. The beginning
of the enterprise was successful, but
reinforcements arriving for the enemy
from Montreal, Allen was attacked,
and driven to his boats. After this
adventure he remained at Ticonderoga
as COMMUNICATIVE chief, while Arnold
held Crown Point. Meantime, Colonel
Allen was busy planning new success
es, and on June 2, 1775, he addressed
Congress a long letter asking permits
sion to make an advance into Canada
with a force of 1000 or 5000 men, con-
fidently asserting his power to conquer
this province of Britain. He said that
with 1900 men he could take Montreal.
This project met with little favor from
Congress at the time, that body hav-
ing resolved only the day before the
date of Aliens letter that no invasion
of Canada ought to be countenanced.

Buffalo, Sept. 16.-President Roosevelt
has outlined, in some detail, the policy
he will follow during his incumbency
of Office.
1t will he remembered that when he
took the oath of office he stated with
much deflniteness:
1T shall be my aim to continue ahso-
lutely unbroken the policy of President
Mckinley for peace (and he emphasized
the word), prosperity and honor of the
country"
Yesterday the president gathered to-
together several personal friends in
Buffalo and those members of the cab
met who were here and gave to them
such ideas as he had already formulated
for the conduct of public affairs and his
own policy.
In no sense are they divergent from
what has been understood as Mr.. Nc
Kinley's policy.
Policy Will Be Liberal.
This policy as outlined to his friends at
yesterdays conference will be for
more liberal and extensive reciprocity in
the purchase and sale of comm@dities,
so that the overproduction of this
country can be satisfactorily disposed
Of by fair and equitable arrangements
with foreign countries.
