WILL BUILD CANAL

Washington, March 13. - Senator
Lodge be ieves that Congress at it's
next Sc sion will abrogate the Clayton
Buluer treaty. Hesays:
Il regret very much that Great
Britain has rejected the amendments
Of the Senate without even proposing
any notifications and has deliberately
allowed the Hay-Pauncefote treaty to
lapse, and thus brought the negotia-
tions to an abrupt close.
If no treaty is made l do not be.
lieve that Congress or the country will
wait patiently any longer and defer
indefinitely the building of the canal
For 20 years the United States has
been trying by every form of ami
cable negotiation to remove the ob-
stacle to the construction of the canal
by the United States presented by the
Clayton Bulwer treaty. All these ef'
forts have come to naught Great
Britain has in one way or another
thwarted every attempt that we have
made to dispose by amicable negotia.
tions of the Clay n-Bulwer treaty. !
very much doubt If the country viii
endure this indefinitely.

THE HEARING
On the Petition for a New
Telephone Franchise
BEFORE THE ALDERMEN
New England Company Had Its
Attorneys on Hand

The aldermen met last nighu agree.
able to adj urnment, the principal
business being a public hearing on the
question of granting franchise or
permit to erect poles and string wires,
to the Washington County Telephone
Co. While the opposing forces were
gathering little other business was
transacted.
Three city warrants were ordered
paid. The resolution about purchas.
ing rubber suits for the street depart
ment was read the second time and
accepted and adopted, as also was the
resolution about purchasing pipe. A
resolution was passed transferring
50, 900 from the general to ,he school
fund.
A resolution was passed authorizing
Mayor Phelps to draw his warrant for
$3.50 in favor of Harvey Hersey for
services as mayor last year as soon az
said Hersey should return to the city
clerk the warrants and other city pa
pers now In his possession.
President Mackay of the board then
| announced that the decks were clear
for action, and f. w. Bisbee one OF
the directors of the new company,
opened the engagement with his light
guns.
II, went over the history of the
organizing Of the company in detail,
4ud l., OF the advantages the citizens
of Barre would enjoy in the way OF
lower rates and better telephone ser
vice the franchise was granted. He
said the company was composed Of the
leading business men of Barre anc
they wanted only such rights as hao
been granted foreign corporation
| the New England Tel. & Tel. Co.
Il City Clerk Wells read the applica
! tion for a franchise, SO that all might
1know what was asked, and then Ex
Mayor Thomas Fl. Browne of Rut
land, attorney for the New England
company, replied to Mr.. Bisbte's fire
lie said If the new company construct
ed a rival line, the people would hav'
to support two telephone companie
instead of one. He said the New Eng
land company did not claim to bf
philanthropists but they were in th'
business to make money and shoul'
do business on business principles, ant
If the new c. mpany did not do like
wise they would not last long will
their $5O00O In a telephone war tn
people pay for the struggle whel
the strong comr any wins.
Mr.. Bisbee replied briefly. Joh'
