The grand list committee completed
its work before adjournment for the
Thanksgiving recess. Chairman Adams
says his committee handled 40 bills.
The committee on education has also
finished its work, says Chairman Good

up its business this afternoon and

Apropos of the length of this Eek

General Ass emily might arrange with
him as the chairman of the agricul-

with certain voluble opponent of the
cattle commission-that is, adjourn
and let him keep right on talking.
The first veto arrived on Tuesday.
1T was disapproval by the Governor
of the bill allowing the town of Wood

a constitutional disease, requires a

LIFE LOSES ITS JOY.

One of the particular joys of living
to the simple hombre i'll the Philippines
cock fighting-has been denied to
Uncle Sam regulars now soldering
in the archipelago. The civil gov
eminent has enacted laws making
cock fighting a misdemeanor. So
breeders and tanners of game birds
have been compelled to seek cellars
and alleys to pull off cooking mains.
Since the American occupation of
the Philippines, soldiers have found
cock fights diverting and exciting,
especially in remote stations. Now,
however, it is an offence for soldiers
to attend such affairs, promoters and
spectators being equally liable to pun
ishment.

H. B. WEDGE REAPPOINTED.

l.. B. Brooks assumed the burdens
of the county commissioner office
Monday, and his first official act
was the appointment of liquor agents
in the various towns in Washington
county that support an agency. With
one exception the old officials were re-
appointed. The new man is Willis V.
Bryan in Waterbury. In this city it
is said that the Democrats desired the
appointment of one of their party,
and this Mr.. Brooks was willing to
grant, but the men to whom he offered
the place would not accept it. A
prominent Republican was also urged
to accept the appointment but after
considering it for while refused.
So Hiram B. Wedge was reappointed
to serve until some time in March
when the fate of the license bill is
known, and Montpelier exercises the
right of local option. In Barre the
situation was similar. The Demo-
Gratis selected man for the place, but
because of the uncertainty concerning
the time the agency would be in Oper-
alton, he refused the appointment and
E. W. Cummings was re-appointed to
serve until March The others who
have been continued in Office are: w.
S. Fisher at Mortified: M. A. Cor
bett at Graniteville; Levi NJ. John
son at Plainfield and G. E. Shepard
at Marshfield.

BRADY CENSU RED
DONALD FLETCHER MAKES Sc.
RIOUS CHARGES.
Asserts That Alaska's Governor Was
Exponent of II Policy Of Oppres-
sion and RepressiOn---Tak Is
sue With Brady's Last Report
to Congress on Land Law.

st. Paul, Aug. 20.-Serious charges
against Gov. Brady of Alaska, we're
made in the transmississippi congress
by Donald Fletcher, of Seattle, who
asserted that the governor was the ex-
ponent of a policylof oppression and
repression, and the active agent of the
great coal companies in delaying self
government while they "gobbled up
the best of a magnificent country
He took issue with Gov. Bradys re-
concentrations in his last report to
congress for the ull extension OF the
land laws to Alaska, assei ting that the
recommendation had an Interior pur-
pose and was in the interest OF the pow
erful elements dominating the progress
of the territory.
The application, he charged, would
be interminably delayed in quibbling
and tilibustering in congress.
"Then would follow years of waiting
and waiting" continued the speaker
"while head bosses would go on 'gob-
bling up the best of that magnificent
country, worth many times the entire
national debt. And that is part OF the
game" He also asserted that Gov
Brady had been consistently an enemy
of the territorial government for selfish
aims.
As soon as Fletcher's address was
competed F. b. Thurber, of New York,
presented resolutions demanding an in
vestigation of the charges. He took eX-
ception to Mr.. Fletcher's structures
upon Gov. Brady, declaring that he
knew the latter well and that he did
not believe for moment that his
actions were dominated or dictated by
any such selfish motives

DANGEROUS ELEMENT.
Coal Operators Uneasy Over For
eign Competition.

New York. Aug. pa local coal
journal says that the Welsh coal opera
ors agree to deliver their product at
wharves in Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore at from $500
TO $6.6S per ton, according to quality.
As this is far below the present price
of anthracite coal, the announcement
has caused much uneasiness among the
American coal operators. If the Welsh
operators carry out their proposition
upon large scale the effect will be to
drive American coal out of the market.
1t is thought that the prospect of Welsh
competition may end the strike quickly.
The anthracite combination has looked
calmly upon the curtailment of produc-
ton because there was every reason to
believe that the increase in price would
yield as large Il profit as the regular
output at former rates.

MIMIC WAR.
Blue and White Fleets Begin Their
ManeUVcrS.

Washington, Aug. 2l.-The mimic
war began ut noon. Admiral Higginson
and Commander Pillsbury, in command
OF the rival fleets, respectively designat-
ed "Blue" and "W hte,' the latter,
under command of Commander Pills
bury, being the attacking fleet, were
supplied with confidential instructions,
which went into effect at noon. The
problem for the "White' fleet, which
is at sea, is to effect Il landing between
Portland, Me-, and Cape Cod, before
Aug. 20. To be successful the attack
ing fleet must seize some Unattended
anchorage between the points named
Portland harbor being included. but not
Casco bay and hold it for six hours
without being ousted Ivy superior
force. The instructions define the har-
Dor seized as one that must be capable
Of gun and mine defense, with not less
than six fathoms of water anchorage
for several large ships and in all re-
spects suitable for an advance base for
an enemy's fleet, including heavy ships.
Under the instructions defining the
character of the harbor he must seize
Commander Pillsbury is much restrict
ed. The Prairie which is the heaviest
draught vessel in his fleet, draws
slightly under 26 feet, the Panther Is
feet two inches and the Supply 20 feet.
Naval officers have generally agreed
that the chances against the "White"
squadron in the game which is on, are
very great, and that practically its only
chance OF success will lie in the exist
ence OF heavy fog under cover OF
which Commander Pillsbury might
slip through the Gordon of scouts and
reach an anchorage in an undefended
port. The distance between Cape Cod
the southern extremity of the country
defended by Admiral Higginson' $ fleet,
and Portland, Me-, is about 100 miles.
