All Honor to Jonathan Ross.

Senator Jonathan Ross of Vermont
entered the United States Senate in
the winter of 1899, at the time when
the complicated questions with re-
gard to our new island possessions
were fresh upon us. Senator Ross
Immediately took up tre study of
these questions, devoting the summer
vacation of 1899 to them. His con-
clusions were given to Congress and
the country in a speech which he de-
livered in the Senate January 20, 1900.
OF the speech the st. Albans Messon.
ger says:
The keynote of Senator Rosss speech
was to be found in the opening sentence
of series of resolutions which he had
presented January Is and which he called
up for the purpose of his speech on the
23rd. That sentence read:
Resolved That the provisions of the
Constitution do not, unaided by act
of Congress, extended over Porto Rico
and the Philippine islands.
Ex-Senator's Ross's speech was consd-
cred such forceful presentation of the
law as interpreted by the administration
that it was reprinted in its entirety and
circulated throughout the country, and
published beside in the Republican cam

A sensation which affects the
whole state was caused on Monday
by the announcement that, in addition
to three indictments against D. H.
Lewis, late cashier of the Farmers
National bank of Vergennes, the
Unned States grand jury in session at
Windsor had also found indictments
against Lieut-Gov. Martin F. Allen,
vi president and director of the
wrecked bank, and against J. w.
KetChum of Nergennes who was the
representative from that city in the
legislature of 1900. These indict-
ments charge Allen and Ketchum
with completely with Lewis in wreck
ing the bank. Both Allen and Ketch-
um were arrested Monday by United
States Marshal Fred \. Field. Dur
ing the afternoon Lieut-Gov. Allen
was given a hearing at North Ferris
burg, his home, before Clerk George
e. Johnson, and without going beyond
the preliminarios bail was fixed at
10000 furnished by townsmen of Mr..
Allen. He was Immediately given
his liberty.
Lieut. Gov. Allen asserts that no
wrong has been done on his part, and
that if the books of the bank show
fraudulent entries it was not his fault,
but that of Cashier Lewis. He says
that a full investigation will prove
his innocence. He manifested no
surprise at the time of his arrest.
Rumors of Mr.. Aliens trouble were
current before the indictments were
formally announced, and he visited
Burlington Saturday to investigate
the matter, but could learn nothing.
Ketchum was not so fortunate as
Lieut. Gov. Allen in securing bail and
was therefore placed in Jail in Burling
ton. There are two indictments in
each case, charging completely in en-
bezzling the funds of the bank and
with falsifying the accounts. The
charge on which Ketchum was ar
rested is reported to be false entry.
To this charge it is said that Ketchum
will plead that he acted under the
direction of Cashier Lewis.

The Wrecked Banks Condition.

The work of investigating the con-
dition of the Farmers bank has been
practically completed, and it appears
that the total shortage is about $54,-
373. The stockholders have consid-
cred the advisability of raising sutfi-
cient money to take the affairs of the
bank out of the hands of the govern
ment. to settle up themselves, to save
expense, but they have found that
the amount of money necessary to be
raised to carry out the idea was too
great, and the proposition was aban-
doned. 1t has been found that the as
sets of the bank amount to $21, 800
in notes unpledged, S61,5OO in
pledged notes, other assets $3.50,
cash $34 300; total $124,550. The liza
bilities include deposits of 100000,
with $4,000 due other banks. 1t is
understood that $4,000 of the un-
pledged and $4,000 of the pledged
notes are valueless.
Receiver James Sullivan of the
wrecked bank has placed an attach
ment on all the property of the es-
tate of Norman j. Allen, father of
Lieut.. Gov. Allen, who is the executor
of the estate and also vice president
of the bank. The bank holds notes
of the Allen estate to the amount of
about $4,000 The property of Lieut..
Gov. Allen and his brother, Stoddard
N. Allen, was also attached, it is said,
for notes the bank holds against
them,

Governor Aliens Declaration.

To a Boston Journal reporter, Lieut..
Gov. Allen stated with great positive
ness on Tuesday that the charges
against him with regard to the banks
affairs were entirely without founda-
ton. He said that when the govern
ment officials first met to examine
into the banks affairs they sent for
him and told him they found he had
overdrawn his account $4,000. He
showed them mistakes which they ad-
mitted and reduced tn ir claim to
$4,000 or $4,000. Gov Allen admits
that on account of his confidence in
Cashier Lewis his business with the
bank was loosely done. AS nearly
as he can now tell, he has overdrawn
his account about $4,000. Including
this and the bank paper which carried
his name, and Indebtedness from his
brother, Stoddard Allen, and from
his fathers estate, the total family
debt to the bank is about $4,000.
He characterizes the move against
him as "a huge conspiracy" and says
the government officials used every
argument possible to convince him
that it would be better to settle up"
and avoid publicity than to have the
matter go before the courts. This
he refused to do, telling them that
compromise was out of the question,
and that he could prove beyond all
doubt that he is free from any fraud
in the banks affairs.

and overdrafts, and that OF the estate

$4,000.

Additional Details.

Further details of these cases arc
given in this press despatch sent out
on Monday evening.
Allen and Ketchum were expecting
the United States marshal Monday
morning. and when +. A. Field and
Deputy Stoddard came from Rutland
on the morning train they found Mr..
Ketchum waiting at the Nergennes
depot for them. He was taken into
custody. \ little farther on, when
the train reached North Ferrisburg
and Marshal Field left it, he found a
team awaiting him, sent by Gov. Allen
and in it he was quickly driven to the
governors home. Here he was re-
ceived with all courtesy, and after
the reading of the indictment, nine
men were produced who became
surety for his appearance at the Octo-
Der term of court. The bail was
taken at the station before Clerk

went there upon the noon train in re-
sponse to a telegram.

1t is unfortunate for the good name
of Vermont that her lieutenant gov
ernor has been dragged into the af-
fairs of the wrecked Farmers Ma
tional bank of Vergennes as has been
done. 1t must be said, however, that
Lieut.. Gov. Aliens bearing is that of
an innocent man. He declares with
out any qualification that he has not
been guilty of any fraudulent act.
He refused any suggestion of a COM
promise of the matter before his case
went before the United States grand
jury, and he now insists on thorough
investigation which, he says, will
clear him absolutely from any charge
of fraud or completely He is enti-
tied to suspension of judgment until

This charge from Mania that the

matter borders on treason. Are you

We don't know where The Republi-
can finds such a charge but that
paper has a rare gift for discovering

Republican introduces this subject we
are permitted to publish the following
extract from a letter just received by
Congressman Haskins from Judge
Henry c. Ide, the Vermont member OF
the Taft commission. a man who
knows what he is writing about. In
stead of losing hope he considers the
outlook for the future encouraging,
Judge Ide writes;-
Since the presidential election, con-
ditions in these islands have changed
enormously for the better; nearly
every important general leading the
insm gents, from Aguinaldo down, has
been captured or has surrendered,
and peace prevails very largely
throughout the provinces. The COM

the 11th If March, and since that time

reaching within five degrees of the
| equator. Upon our return to Ma
Mia we shall proceed Immediately
! with the organization of civil gov
ernments in nearly all the remaining

| civil government will be organized

! be necessary for long time to come
| to hunt down small bands of robbers,
and aid in the preservation of order.
But the local authorities in most of
the provinces will be able largely to
do the work of suppressing lawless-
ness. There has not been a day since
the first of January last when pro-
gress has not been made, and the
whole outlook is encouraging in the
extreme; but the work that rests upon
the commission of organizing all
branches of the civil institutions out
of chaos and disorder is enormous,
and do not believe there is harder

Principal Ellery of Vermont Acade-
my at Saxtons River spoke for the
Academy in a graceful and forceful
speech at the meeting of the Ameri-
can Baptist Education society in
Springfield. Mass. last Saturday.
This meeting was part of the pro-
gram of the Baptist anniversary meet
ings held in that city last week. AT
ter speaking of the work of the
Academy in its attempt to develop its
students into strong, well-balanced
men and women, he said the ideal
always before the faculty was to
make the school none other than the
best-"a leading school in which in
tellectual development goes hand in
hand with social and moral develop
ment. and in which the best only may
be found in the way of instruction
and methods" Mr.. Ellery spoke en-
couragingly of the financial outlook of
the Academy, saying that within the
year pledges of some 100000 had been
secured toward paying the schools
Indebtedness of $70,000,-all of these
pledges. with the exception of a few
small sums. having come from Yer
monters. He added that "the loyalty
of the Baptists of the state to its sin
gle educational institution is a most
helpful element of the prospects of
the school,
