THE COVERNORSHIP
Management of Central Vermont
Railroad Defines Its
Position.
STATEMENT BY Mr.. LOGAN
Publication Of Mr.. Hays Personal Let
ter Defeats Purpose Of the Missive
and Held to Have Been so 1ntend-
ed-Will Seek Greatest Good
OF Greatest Number.

General Manager II. s. Logan of the Cen
trail Vermont Railway company accom-
panied Vice President and General Man.
ager Charles NJ. HAYS Of the Grand Trunk
system to Boston Tuesday, making the
trip in the official car of the railroad
which was attached to the noon express.
General Manager Logan furnished a re-
preventative OF the Free Press with tho
following authorized statement of the at
titude of the management with reference
to the governorship:
Regarding the published letter written
by Mr.. Hays to DR.. Webb. as to the atti-
tude of the Central Vermont railway. Mr.
Logan stated that it had been the intcn-
ton of the management to remain neutral,
that il was his understanding the letter
was a personal communication to DR..
Webb, and he feels that it's publication
may possibly result in its withdrawal by
Mr. Hays.
The publication at this time was doubt
less intended to defeat the very purpose
for which 1t was written, and would he
so understood by the majority of the poo
pie of Vermont. The Central Vermont
railway, being a Vermont institution, is
of course naturally interested in the tn ngs
that interest the people or vermont, and
make for the greatest good to the great
est number MIR Logan admitted, in view
of all the circumstance, that his personal
support land as an American citizen he
felt free to speak clearly on the sub ecD
would naturally be given to the candidate
who was the freest from business infu-
enccs antagonistic to the interests of the
company he served. and who had no con-
neCtion with that rival railway interest
which had Of late made every effort and
without regard to the convenience of the
travelling public. to njure the business OF
the Central Vermont whether it benefited
Its own business or not. and thus cndeaV-
Crpd of h.
ploycs of the Central Vermont railway.
He also felt that many of the officers
and employees would for this reason doubt
less take the same view of the matter

STILL ON THE TRAIL.
Suit Fails in Supreme Court to
Gust American Book Co.

A quo warranto suit to oust the Amer
lean Book company from Kansas was
filed today in the supreme court. 1t is
brought in the name of the state on
the relation of Galen Nichols as county
attorney, but it is really filed by Quin-
ton & Quintons- attorneys for Crane &.
Co.
The petition sets forth that the Amer
lean BOOK company is a foreign cor
poration. and that it is now seeking to
do business in Kansas by placing stocks
of books IN each county in the state for
sale under the contract it secured from
the state text book commission, but
that it has no legal rights in the state
for the reason that it has never been
admitted by the charter board, and
that if it had any rights at the time the
present corporation law was passed it
forfeited them by not fling annual
statements with the secretary of state
during the past three years. The su~
preIne court is asked to Oust it from
the state.

Retalbulen, Guatemala, Buried
Under Lava and Stones.
Loss Of Life is Estimated at
1000 Persons.
AT FOOT OF VOLCANO.
Black Pail Had Hung Over Mt
Tacoma For Weeks.
Many Inhabitants Took Warn
ing and Fled to Safety.

San Francisco, June Another city
in Central America has suffered almost
complete destruction and hundreds of
its inhabitants have been killed by vol
cano eruptions
The steamer Palena which arrived to-
day from southern porls brings the
news that the town of Retalbulen, stu
ated at the foot OF Mount Tacoma in
Guatemala has been buried under a
mass OF lava, stones and ashes thrown
from the volcanic crater and probably
1000 of its people have perished.
The volcano is about 25 miles from
Champanico and near the town of Ia
pachulo which, it is believed also sui
fered severely.
The eruption occurred several days
before the Palena arrived at Cham
panlco. The vessel S officers were in
formed by the agent of the Pacific
Steam Navigation company at that
place that the volcano had shown signs
of the impending eruptions for several
days previous to the outbreak In fact
Mount Tacoma had been restless ever
since the great earthquake of April IS.
which destroyed the city of Quezalten-
ango. For weeks a black pail OF smoke
hung over its summit and the glare
from the crater frequently Illuminated
the sky. Many of the inhabitants of
Retalbulen fed from their homes to
places of safety and these escaped
frightful deaths. When the eruption at
last broke forth in its fun fury, show
ers of lava ashes and stones were eject
ed and covered the country for miles
around The bay of Champanico was 4
mass of floating pumico and ashes.
No details were obtainable by the Off
GERS of the Palena but the loss of life
is estimated at not less /, 600. The same
steamer brought a letter to Balfour
Guthrie & Co., agents of the Pacific
Coast Steamship company from G. Mel
vile, their agent in Guatemala confirm
ing the report of the eruption. He also
stated that since the earthquake of
April 81, shocks had been of daily 0c-
currence A few days before the Palena
sailed a small village near Mount Ia
coma was destroyed but no details could
be obtained.
The volcano of Santa Maria is also
stated to have been in a state of erup-
ton.
