The Second Trial Race.

Brentons Point, K. L., July 8.-The
weather and water conditions were
anything but favorable for the second
race between the Constitution, Colum-
bia and Independence today. A light,
huky breeze came from the south with
very little weight behind it. The
course today will be an equal triangle,
ten miles to leg. At 1880 the wind
began to gather ioroe though it was far
from being strong. The sea was heavy
and lumpy, just the kind that pounds q
boat and spills the wind from the sails.
At 11:26 the yachts were at the starting
point waiting the preparatory signal.
At 1853 they were off. Shortly af-
terward the Constitution put on a good
burst of speed and opened up q gap be-
tween her and the other boats and at
1850 had increased her lead over the
Columbia. Independence brought up
the rear.
The Constitution rounded the outer
mark ten minutes ahead OF the Colum-
bis. The Independence is hopelessly
beaten.

THAT OLD FOX, Gen. Gomez, "nom
the expansionists delight to honor ana
call the "CubaD patriot" although ne
ia not Cuban at all, is now on his way
back to that island after a visit to this
country. it is now said, in his OWE be-
half. People who know Gomez know
that he is a scheming soldier OF fortune
and is always looking after himself. He
Is a native of Ssnto Domingo and his
apitstions in Cuba have proved profit
able TO him. 1t is recalled that in the first
two years of the last war he was paid
handsomely by the Cuban revolution

ing whatever army the Cubsns had In
the field, although 1t is not known that
he received much pay In the last year
or 30 OF the revolution. II is known,
however, that hundreds OF other men
of various nationalities who wore
shoulder straps in behalf OF the Cuban
cause for longer or shorter terms re-
ceiyed little or no pay for their SER
vices, and 1t is said that General Gomez
Ia now anxious to learn II the President
of the United States will permit the
claims OF these men against the Cuban
republic to be paid. 1t Is not doubted
that the claimants are strong enough to
elect the first Congress Of the island
government, with the view OF obtain
ing the desired legislation. 1t is point
ed out that if the Cubans are to reward
In money every man who actually or
professedly followed their flag they will
defeat one of the main objects of the
Platt law, which is to see to 1t that the
new republic does not start out handi-
capped with big debt. Army officers

stood to favor the immediate payment
OF all these claims when the Cuban
government begins business. So the
Wanted patriotism of Gomez and his
Cuban followers is shown in ridicu-
lous light when they claim pay for
fighting for freedom. But this is
commercial age and patriotism, honor,
gratitude, etc., are deemed old fogy-
isms by those whose one idea Is greed
of gain.

IT WAS recently suggested by the

less space to the speeches made in the

This suggestion is being adopted by
others, for press dispatch from Rich

STATE NOTES.

Clayton E. Spaulding, 81, lost his life
February rs, by being smothered in a
pile of sawdust, which had caved in up
on him, near the Brock place between
Windsor and Claremont. The unfortu-
nate man was an employe of the EvartS
farm, and had been drawing sawdust.
He was alone at the time of the accident,
and it is supposed that he dug under a
crust of frozen Sawdust, which broke
away and let in a huge pile upon him.
His team, standing for long time with
no one near it, finally attracted attention,
and an investigation led to the discovery
of the body, standing in the position of a
person about to throw out a Shovelful of
the sawdust.
James White, a well known geologist
and surveyor of Massachusetts,, has for
some time been exploring the mountains
and hills in the vicinity of Bennington
for samples of ore and like substances.
He has been successful in some respects,
finding what would show the probability
of good deposits of manganese. An ex-
animation at the laboratory of the graded
school of water taken from some of the
streams that flow through the sections
where he has explored revealed strong
traces of that ore. Mr.. White, in the in
terests of parties from Bennington and
abroad, is now taking leases of lands in
Woodford, and as soon as these can be
satisfactorily arranged it is probable that
efforts will be made to begin taking out
the ores, which it is assured can be found
in paying quantities.
