latter come to the United States and box Corbett at San Francisco next June Roberts Is one of the best men England has turned out in years and his style of boxing is similar to that of Corbett It is said that the Yosemite A. c. of Frisco is ready to give the pair large purse to clash for.
 Billy Madden has decided to go to England. He has made arrangements to take Gus Ruhlin and Denver Ed Martin with him and they will sail as soon as they can get passage. Madden has received his expense money from the National Sporting club and matches have been assured Martin and Ruhlin. From present indications it would ap- pear that Fitzsimmons and Ruhlin will eventually come together and that Bob Armstrong will be selected to tackle Martin. Tom Sharkey will not get a chance to box in England, at least be fore the National Sporting club. That organization is wrought up over Shar- keys refusal to box Ruhlin after sign ing articles. Al Smith was at the Gil sey house yesterday, but Sharkey failed to put in an appearance and cover the forfeit of $1O,O00 left by Ruhlin the day before.

Chinese Rebels Powerful.

HONGKONG, April 1S.--A Chinese banker, who fled from the province of Kwangsi and has arrived here, says the rebels in that province hold over thirty towns and villages and that they are well armed with Mauser rifles and reyolyers, which were smuggled into Kwangsi from the French protectorate of Annam by contrabandists disguised as opium merchants. The rebels have adopted the name of Hung Siu Chuen, the famous leader of the Taiping re- bellion. They have placarded the country with announcements that the present dynasty has sold parts of Chi na to foreign powers. These posters urge the people to resist the collection of taxes for the payment of the inter- national indemnity.

BASE BALL SEASON OPENED.
Scores of the National League Clubs
 Yesterday.

Yesterday
 The eight baseball teams of the Ma tional league were started yesterday on their six months race for the pen- nant, and the four games brought some good ball playing. The victories and defeats. of one day are, of course, of little value in forming an estimate as to the strength of the different teams, but for all that the day had it's surprises. The easy victory of New York, though over team much weak ened since last season, Chicago clean cut win from the Cincinnati's, rated one of the strong ones in the depleted National league ranks, and the hard game which the St Louis team, also a big loser by American league in roads, gave the champion Pittsburgs, were unexpected happenings. The base hit column makes it quite evi- dent that the batsmen in general have not yet got their eyes on the ball. There were two shut-outs, New York and Pittsburg doing, the trick. The hardest hitting was done by the New York team. The four games drew an aggregate of 50.0O0 persons, divided as follows: New York, 1S,000; Cincinnati 12,000; Brooklyn, 10000; St Louis, 10.- GOO.

Changes at the Museum.

DR.. Tracy E. Hazen. director Of the
Museum, has resigned this position to
accept an appointment in Columbia
University, New York city. His many
friends here, while regretting his removal
from us, extend congratulations on this
appointment which is a fattering testi-
mony to his worth as a man and his
rank in scholarship and original research.
The trustees of the Museum are also to
be congratulated on having secured as
his successor, Miss Della Isabel Griffin,
of Newton, Mass. Miss Griffin spent
! some days here recently as one of the lec-
turers in the summer school, at which
time her felicitous expositions of nature
study attracted special attention. Her
services have been secured by Supt. Ran
ger for the summer schools of 1908.
Miss Griffin has for several years held
the position of supervisor Of elementary
science in the schools of the city of New
ton, involving oversight of the work in
140 or more rooms. She is also the au-
thor of text books on nature study which
are used in many schools, and has plans
for publishing an advanced series of SINH
lar books in the future. Her welcome to
st. Johnsbury will be the more cordial
from the fact that she declines three
other positions in our favor, coming here
about the middle OF September

Rep ublican Caucus.

Over 600 voters attended the republi-
can caucus in the Town Hall Monday
evening and within an hour all the busi-
ness was transacted and the people had
scattered to their homes. The meeting
was called to order by Elmore T. Ide,
chairman of the republican town COM
mittee, and organized by electing E. L.
Hovey chairman and John c. Clark
clerk. A resolution was introduced by
J. w. Sault and unanimously passed in
reference to using the check list used at
the last caucus for the state convention
and naming Albert Worcester, John c.
Clark and Gilbert E. Woods to serve
with the town committee and decide
who should vote at this caucus If their
names were not on the check list. The
chair appointed Jason M. Cady, W. W.
Husband, Dennis E. May and Perley F.
Hazen to act as ballot clerks and the
candidates were placed in nomination,
though hardly anybody in the hall could
hear their brief speeches. Henry M.
Cheney was nominated by Matthew
Robinson and Charles A. Calderwood
was placed in nomination by Fred Gil
man. The result of the ballot was as
follows:
Whole number of votes cast, 629
Necessary for choice, 315
Henry M. Cheney, 379
Charles A. Calderwood, $50
The result of the ballot was received
with an outburst of applause.
Charles H. Horton then placed the
union justice ticket in nomination and it
was accepted by the voters present.
(The list appears in the report of the
democratic caucus). Elmore T. Ide in
troduced a resolution instructing our
representative to use his best efforts to
get a caucus law adopted at the next
legislature. After the passage of this
resolution the caucus adjourned.

Mr.. Cheney is foreman of the machine
shops at the scale works, has been an
efficient trustee of the village and is
man who has many friends and no enc
mics. He voted for Gen. Mccullough in
the state convention and stands with
the republican party, as expressed by it's
platform, on the temperance question.
1t is hardly necessary to say that he will
also support the rest OF the republican
ticket, both state and county, but this is
year when the voters have a right to
know where their candidates stand and
who they will support. He was urged
to be candidate by number of friends
who wanted to support representative
who would vote for Gen. Mccullough
and the referendum, and his friends now
propose to stand by him and do all in
their power to prevent this stronghold
of republicanism from being again repre-
sented by democrat. He received a
good majority at the caucus and ought
to be elected September 2.

niTcHELL HAS LITTLE TO SAW
Interviewed Concerning Late Visit to
New York.

Wilkesba.ro, Pa. Oct 11.-President
Mitchell arrived at strike headquarters
from New York shortly after 10
o'clock this morning. He was imme-
diately taken in hand by interviewers,
but he steadfastly declined to talk
of his New York trip for publication.
In answer to a question why he should
maintain such extreme reticence re-
garding his visit he said:
Il think the best interests of the oo-
orators the miners and the public will
be subserved by my remaining silent.
Mr.. Mitchell's attention was called
to the letter of Vice President Will
cox, of the Delaware and Hudson com
pany to President Roosevelt in which
he maintains that the Miners union
is an Illegal organization. The strike
leader hesitated to say anything Tor
moment, and then replied:
THE Miners union is organized
along the same lines as all the labor
unions in the country. If the miners
organization is illegal, so are all the
others; and l say our union is not il
legal"
This is the extent of Mr. Mitchell's
talk to the press representatives this
morning. All efforts to draw him
out on any other question was fail
ure.
Mr. Mitchell had an engagement in
Boston tomorrow, but he was COM
PEELED today to cancel it owing to n
pressure of business here. There was
a rumor that President Mitchell would
go to Washington. but he denied it.
The leaders of the strikers are now
looking to the American Federation
Of Labor to help them in their fight.
The Federation has a membership of
nearly 100000 and it's purpose Is to
assist organized labor generally. The
Miners union is the strongest trade
in that organization and they feel that
the Federation should come out and
take am open, active interest in the
struggle. There is a report here that
this will be done in the form of an APP
peal for assistance to all the labor or
CARNATIONS in the country.
