A Union Church.

The far-reaching influence of the
striking workmen was felt at Wyo-
ming Sunday night when a church
service was interrupted because non
union firemen were employed at the
electric light plant. The Mount Look.
out colliery of the Temple Iron COM
pany furnishes electric light for the
borough of Wyoming. The fremen
are on a strike, but steam for the light
plant is kept up by nonunion firemen.
Business men have been requested to
quit using the light, and number
have complied. At the weekly pray
prayer meeting in the Baptist church
Sunday night, a member arose and
said:
I'm the face of the struggle between
capital and labor, don't believe it
right that we should hold services
by the aid of electric light furnished
oy 'scab' firemen. l suggest that we
get another means of lighting for our

Oil Supplanting Coal.

The extent to which fuel oil is sup
planting coal is indicated in a way
by the concern which the coal handlers
are evincing when they consider the
situation. 1t is represented that al
ready about $50 permits have been
issued in San Francisco for the burn
ing Of fuel oil as substitute for coal
and preparations are being made for
many more such changes. The effect
Of these innovations upon the coal
market indicates that the experimental
stage of oil burning is Of the past.
Wallsend coal, which little over =
year ago was selling in San Francisco
in cargo lots at $3.50 per ton, is to-day
quoted at $3.50. and the demand is not
strong for great quantities even at
that price.

AT OYSTER BAY.

Ooster Bay, July IA. -Prcsident
Roosevelt and Secretary Root have
been busily engaged i'll the considera-
tion of important subjects, of the
most important of which was that
relating to Governor Taft's negotia-
lions with the Vatican respecting the
Philippine friars. Both Mr.. Roosev cit
and the secretary of wal deem it un-
wise that the friars should remain in
the archipelago with the prestige
they now possess. No statement of
the conclusion reached by the Pcesi-
dent and Secretary Root could be OBJ
tanned at Sycamore Hill, but unoffi-
cially, it is understood that a note is
being drafted in response to that
transmitted by the Pope through Gov
ernor Taft to the administration.
Ample assurance is given hat the
United States will take strong grounds
in support of its contention that the
friars-must be eliminated from the
Philippine equation.
1t is the expectation Of the Presi-
dent that the deal for the purchase of
the Panama canal will have been con-
cluded and the check for $40, 000, DOC
paid over by January /, 1903. Owing
to the fact that Congress must approve
a treaty with Colombia before the
transaction can be closed, there is nc
possibility of a spadeful of dirt being
turned on the big ditch, under the
direction of our government, before
next year.

YOUNGSTOWN DISASTER.

Johnstown, July ~. -Outside the
property loss, the catastrophe will
cost the Cambria Steel Company a
large sum. Officers of the company
say the concern will not get out of
the predicament for less than $3.50, COZ
The company has for many years past
paid to the family of every person
killed in its employ 81, 900, outside of
what it expended for medical pur-
poses, and it has paid every man who
has lost an eye or limb, or has become
otherwise partially disabld, the sum
of $500. 1t is understood that the
rule will not be deviated from.

FORAKERS' VIEWS.

Senator Foraker belives there is
nothing but demagogury back of the
recent claims made by the Democrats
in Washington to the effect that the
Republicans would not do as they had
agreed regarding the building of the
Panama canal. In the course of a re-
cent interview he said: "There is
absolutely nothing in the Democratic
claim that the Republican party can
not make good their promises in re-
gard to the trusts and the Panama
canal"
On the contrary the Senator believes
that the President will have the
warmest support of Congress in full
filling his desire Of securing legisla-
ton which will enable the govern
ment to curb the tendency of certain
trusts to advance prices beyond rea-
son. Speaking of the makeup of the
next Congress the Senator frankly
admitted that there was a time when
he feared that the Democrats might
gain control of the House at the fall
elections but stated that now he had
every confidence that such would not
be the case. He regarded the Demo-
cratic handling of the Philippine
question as bungling and offensive to
the people.
The Senator has taken occasion
more than once to score his Democrat
ic brethren in the Senate on their ac-
tions toward the army in the Philip.
pines and for months has availed him
self of every opportunity to %repudiate
the condemnation of the army for pol
itical purposes. During the interview
referred to above the matter of trusts
was preached to Senator Foraker
again and he said: 1t stands to
reason that institutions doing a large
business can afford to employ experts
in all their departments and with
their help reduce the cost of pro-
duction to the lowest figure and at
the same time realize the greatest re-
turns from the by-products. If the
Attorney General deems the present
law inadequate TO enable him to ac.
complish proper supervision and re-
straint over the trusts, Congress will
stand ready &c uphold his hands by
the enactment of legislation which
will prove efficient. "

DOCTOR HOSKINS.

For nearly a generation this was
one of the best and widest known
anne in Vermont, and especially
among the farmers of Vermont.
Among the latter the name of DR..
Hoskins was long a household word.
In their councils, their farmers meet
ings, their dairymen's association,
their organizations for fruit culture,
he was their prophet and through
the columns of the Waterman and
Journal, during a long period OF
years ending in March, 1894, he ex-
pounded to his brother farmers the
practical science of agriculture in all
its departments.
The story of DR.. Hoskins' life, his
ancestry, his education and experien-
ces, tell how we'll qualified he was to
unfold the truths that lie hidden in
the soil, to correct error, to assist the
farmer in supplanting "guess work.

Burlington, July 1.-THE Demo

evening after considerable discussion

combine with Clement Republicans
and will make up a fusion ticket.
The resolution adopted instructs the
delegates to the State Democratic
convention to promote fusion of the
Democracy with the high license and
local option cause of which the Hon
P. W. Clement is the representative.
Bennington, July IA Democratic
caucus was held here Saturday even
ing and thirteen delegates were elect
ed to the State convention to be held
i'll Burlington. A resolution in favor
of fusion with Clement was passed
and bids fair to disrupt the Demo
cratic party in this place. John Rob-
inson of this village, a lifelong Dem
ocrat, is so disgusted with the action
that he refuses to serve on the Dem
ocratic town committee. The caucus
to elect delegates to the Clement con-
vention will be held this evening.
Middlebury, July 14.-At the Dem
ocratic caucus Saturday night a res

uary laws and resolved that the dele

SAILS FOR THE r

New York, July 1.-THE Peary
Arctic steamer Windward has arrived
at Jersey City and departs for the
north today for the expedition of 1902.
The Windward, a 320-ton barque, is
easily the most interesting and his
toric of all the Arctic craft now ahoat.
Built at Sunderland, Eng, in 1865, it
was for more than a quarter of a CEN
fury employed in the Dundee and
Peterhead whale fisheries. Purchased
in 1894 by Alfred G.. Harms worth, she
took the Jackson armsworth expedi-
ton to Franz Josef Land, being i'm
%prisoned in the ice near Cape Flora
for the winter. The Windward will
coal at Sydney, G. b. and proceed
north, and should, with all favorable
circumstances, reach Peary's head
quarters and him about August /. Mrs.
Peary and little daughter sail on the
ship to meet the famous explorer and
will remain with him to share as far
as may be the difficulties and dangers
of the new expedition.
The departure of the Windward
seems to be a proper occasion for a
brief statement concerning the Peary
Arctic Club, which has sustained Mr..
Peary during the five years eXpedi-
tions, and which when the subscrip-
tions originally pledgd have been all
paid and expended, will renew its
promise to support him and the work
to the end. The Peary Arctic Club
is made up of subscribers secured by
Mr.. Peary, The members of the club

Col. Harry Dean, of Cornwall, who
has been in the public eye in Vermont
the past month through his disclosures

dead. His demise is attributed to an

faults Harry was a good fellow to
meet and his recent actions in Addi-
