AT MONTPELIER.

The Republican State committee met
at the Van Ness House, Burlington, on
Friday evening to fix the time and place
for holding the State Republican con-
vention. There was a strong desire
shown on the part of several to have
it held earlier than usual to end the
warm campaign now being conduct
ed but after full discussion it was de-
cided that it would not be convenient
for many and the date of Thursday,
June 10, and Montpelier as the place
were selected.
The effect of the late date chosen
for the convention in prolonging the
campaign was materially offset by the
recommendation of the committee that
the caucuses to elect delegates to the
convention be held not later than Sat
urday, June Z. This will practically
close the campaign u days before
the convention is held.
The basis of the representation Of
delegates to the State convention was
voted to be made on the vote for Gov
ernor in 1900. Each town is entitled
to one delegate and one additional
delegate for each 100 votes cast for the
Republican candidate for Governor in
1900, and for each fraction thereof in
excess of fifty. The only change in
this is that it requires over fifty votes
to give a town another delegate and
it had required only fifty heretofore.
1.-THE most important action of the
committee was a vote to regulate the
holding of town and city caucuses as
far as possible without ballot law
on the statute books. This was accom-
plished by the adoption of the follow
ing resolutions:
Resolved, That in the election of
delegates to the State convention the
State committee will recognize such
delegates as shall be elected by a plu-
rality vote properly certified to by the
secretary of the respective town and
city caucuses.
1t is recommended by the State
committee that the Republican town
and city committees respectively take
such measures as they deem effective
to prevent any but legal Republican
voters from taking part in the respec-
tive caucuses and to prepare check
list to be used at such cuacuses and
that all delegates be elected by ballot
The committee has been troubled
a great deal, in the past, to secure re-
ports of the election of a town Repub-
lican committee and to avoid further
trouble in this direction it was voted

Y. NJ. G. a. HOTEL

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
tions of the Eastern states have for a
number of years been hoping to open
a hotel or camp where their members
might spend their summer vacations
under right influences and at rea-
sonable cost.
Silas H. Paine of New York, man
connected with the Standard Oil Com
pany, who also has a lively interest
in the betterment of the young men
of that city, knowing of this desire
and being the owner of a magnificent
hotel on Silver bay, Lake George, has
recently offered to turn over to the
International Committee his property
of twelve acres including his hotel
accommodating 600 people, which
will be open from June l to October
/, to members of the Young Mems
Christian Association and t heir fam
lilies at the remarkably low rate of
one dollar day.
This is an exceptional offer Last
year this hotel turned away people
and the rates were three to five dol
lars day A more ideal place for
rest and recreation does not exist any
where All sorts of sports, including
fishing and boating can be INDUCED
in.
August 5 to 10 conference will be
held for volunteer workers and COM
mitteemen which will be participated
in by some of the leading Young
Mems Christian Association men in
the country. The leading questions
of the day will be.discussed in a way
which will be of great help to the
Association Represented In order to
profit by this proposition one must
secure a vacation ticket, issued by
the President of the local association
for 81, which will entitle him to spe-
cial railroad rates and identify him at
the hotel 1t is hoped that a delega-
ton will go from Montpelier. The
President of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association can likely give fur
Their information.

In the May number of the National
Magazine Frank Putnam writes
Measured by the degree to which
they have impressed their PERSONAL
ties upon the American people during
the last ten years, four men now liv-
ing are pre- eminent. These men are
not poets nor artists They are finan-
ciers and publicists This is the age
of the fnancier and the publicist.
The four men are President Roose-
welt, Andrew Carnegie, John Pier
pont Morgan, and Mark Hanna.
OF Senator Hanna he says; Mark
Hanna bids fair to be remembered as
the great pacificator There was a
time when his enemies called him
"labor crusher. Those charges have
fizzled out, think he understands
the general run of people better than
any9 other man in public life; his
efforts for industrial peace raise him
to the high level of useful citizenship
occupied by Andrew Carnegie in his
later years.
The June number of the National
will contain Senator Hanna's third
article in the series contributed by
him entitled Mckinley as l knew
him." also an article ON the shipping
bill by Senator Frye of Maine, presi-
dent pro tenn of the Senate Senator
Frye is the author of the bill and it's
most ardent champion.

A meeting of the school board was
held on Thursday evening. a requi-
sition on the city council for 81, 500
was voted. 1t was voted to bear the
expense, not to exceed $40, of the
framing of the pictures obtained by
the scholars from the art exhibit,
which has been in progress at the new
school building. The scholars per
centage from the sale of tickets is
over $50. 1t was voted to engage the
opera house for the holding of the
graduating exercises of grade nine on
the evening of June 6. The matter
of engaging the opera house, pro
grams, etc, for the closing exercises
of the Washington Grammar school,
which occurs on the evening of June
10, was left to chairman Sibley and
superintendent Ham. The matter of
providing more room for the kinder
garten department was left to the
committee on grades and teachers. 1t
was voted not to admit any more pu-
pills to this department this term as
there are now about 60 pupils enroll
ed. The board has retained Prof. H..
G.. Ham for another year at the same
salary of $1,700

that the Republican town and city
committees be elected at the regular
caucus to choose delegates to the State
convention and that the same be at
once reported to the secretary of the
State Republican committee.
Edward d. Raymond of Fair Haven
will be temporary chairman and Max
l.. Powell of Burlington chairman of
the committee on resolutions.
Surprise has been expressed in some
quarters that the State convention is
not to be held in Burlington this year,
inasmuch as the convention that NOM
mated Governor Stickney two years
ago was held at Montpelier.
This city is, however, the natural
seat of the convention this year. For
many years it has been the custom to
hold State conventions Oh the opposite
side of the mountain line" from
which the candidate or candidates for
Governor reside. Two years ago the
State convention to nominate delegates
to the national Republican conven-
ton at Philadelphia should have been
held at Montpelier and the conven-
ton to nominate a Governor and other
State officers, at Burlington. The lat
ter came during the week of commence
ment at the University of Vermont,
and because of inadequate hotel ac-
commodations for both at Burlington,
at the request of leading Republicans
of that city the change was made.
Burlington worked hard to have
that city named as the place of the
convention this year. Ex-Governor
u. A. Woodbury., owner of the Van
Ness House was particularly active
in this direction, both on Tuesday
evening and prior to the meeting of
the State committee. The good sense
of majority of that committee pre-
vailed, and Montpelier was named as
the place of meeting.
1t is well known fact that a large
majority of the Republican State COM
mittee are supporters of Gen. Nc
Cullough for Governor 1t needed nc
tally sheet on Tuesday evening to con-
firm this statement, and the success
of the Bennington candidate was con-
fidently and repeatedly predicted.
None of the candidates for Governor
were in Burlington Tuesday evening,
but their representatives were in evl'
dence. Hon. o. NJ. Barber, K. r.
Morse and II. w. Clement had head
quarters at the Van Ness House that
evening. Mr.. Barber came to Mont
pelier Monday morning. His confidence
in the ultimate success of Gen. Nc
Cullough is mistaken.

life long friend of Archbishop Corri-
gan's, was glowing tribute and

the shoulders of six priests, was de-
posted in the crypt Cardinal Glib
bons, Archbishop Ireland. Vicar Gen

THE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
PACIFICATION OF PHILIP
PINES FAVORABLE.
Insurgents Fleeing Everywhere
for Island Of Samar
Alone Troublesome.

MANILA. Jan. 3l.-The general out
look for pacifcation in the archipelago,
everywhere outside the Island OF sa-
mar, has never been more favorable
since the original outbreak Of the Fill
iplno insurrection than at the present
time. The insurgents have been
broken UP into small bands and are
everywhere fleeing for shelter. They
surrender daily. or are captured or
killed
The policy OF RECOMMENDATION and
the stern measure Of closing the ports
to commerce have accomplished every
thing expected Of them. General
Chaffee stn hopes that by the end Of
February the Island of Samar alone
will remain not pacihed.
Those provinces bordering on the
province of Batangas and La Guna'
in Southern Luzon. have been patrolled
by the native constabulary, who have
done excellent work and who have re-
ceived the commentator of General
]. Franklin Bell, commanding in these
provinces.
The members OF the United States
Philippine commission are proud Of
this constabulary. which was organiz-
ed following their suggestion and the
greatest care is exercised in the selec-
ton of officers for this force, During
the past month 50 military posts have
been handed over to the native con-
stabulary.
General Chaffee has taken effective
steps to make sure that there will be
no friction between the military and
civil authorities. The most positive
orders have been issued to all mill
tary commanders to cooperate in ev-
cry way with the civil authorities
without relaxing in severity when
they have occasion to deal with active
insurgents.
