Begun at Wrong End.
[St. Adams Messenger.l

After five long years of careful prep
aration for this campaign, after five long
years of town-to-town organization by
adroit politicians and paid political work
ers, in short, after making regular bust
ness of canvassing for the Republican
nomination for governor of Vermont for
co months, Mccullough begins the final
engagement of the caucuses by firing off
all his reserve at once. This may be
good tactics in politics, but it is doubtful
If anyone will recognize just why it is.
Mccullough led off with his sure towns.
the whole of Bennington county and part
of Chittenden county, and attempted to
lead off in Washington county also. This
was done, of course, to start a stampede,
to create the impression that the whole
state was simply going one way-for Nc
Cullough. What is the result? Benning-
ton county, of course, is solid for him.
Chittenden county is split, and the city
of Burlington yet to be counted is in all
proba blity for Clement. In Washington
county Montpelier has declared for
Clement, and Barre is likely to do the
same. The remainder of the county may
be more or less divided. And now Nc
Cullough has reached a figure in the list
in the neighborhood of which he is likely
to remain for some time. Most of his
gains from now on must be looked for in
territory where he must put up STUB
born fight for them. He has got through
with the greater part of the towns that
were expected to drop in his lap. Mean
while, Clement is raking in the large
towns one by one and Proctor has scarce
ly fired a shot. Hardly a move has been
made in any section where Proctor might
reasonably feel safe Almost his total
strength up to date represents just so
much clear gain, just so much wrested
out of debateable territory, and taken
from Mccullough
We shall begin to hear from Proctor
territory soon, and We shall see the
Proctor figures go climbing up the scale
and pass his rivals before his reserves"
are called out. When the contest begins
to narrow down to the finish and the
Mccullough men are wishing they still
had those As votes in Bennington county
TO come in then we shall see the Proctor
figures swelled by the reserves that he
is wisely keeping back until they are
needed. Without exception the large
towns have disappointed the Mccullough
men and have gone to Clement. The
territory now left to be fought for con-
sists of Proctor's natural safe" ground
and a considerable debateable territory
in which Proctor and Clement have as
good a show as the man from Benning-
ton.
Mccullough has his easiest los votes to
his credit. His next 10S votes will come
like pulling teeth.

Mont PeIee in Eruption Again Mon.
day Evening.

Mt. Pelee broke out in serious eruption
Monday evening. Fort de France was
thrown into panic. and though the town
was not thought to be in danger from
the volcano, a night stampede of ter
ror-stricken people was apprehended.
Even more fear was felt that
a tidal wave might sweep the town.
Heavy surf had indicated sub-oceanic dis
turbances for two hours before the des-
patch was sent. and a rise of only eight
feet would engulf the low-lying town.
Martinique was showered with volcanic
ashes more heavily than at either of the
two previous explosive eruptions. Anx-
iety is felt for the safety of Professor
Robert T. Hill of Washington, who. after
cabling Sunday afternoon the results OF
his earlier study of the volcano, left Fort
de France TO try to reach the Pelee
craters.

The Olympia Opera Co.

The success in New Orleans Of the
famous Olympia Opera Co. finds no
parallel for light theatricals in the
musical history of the metropolis of
the South. In the brief period of ten
weeks no less than twenty operas
were given complete and thorough
presentation, both in the matter of
staging and costuming. This fact
alone speaks volumes for the organi-
zation. In order for a company to
present such great number of oper
as it must have versatile people.
BY referring to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat we find that it says:
"The Olympia company has played
many engagements in New Orleans,
but instead of wearing out its well
come, it becomes a stronger favorlte
at each performance. The Olympia
company is composed Of artists, that
is the reason people never tire of hear

are well known and need not TO be

ertoire consists of "Said Pasha." "Bo-

Mayor Dick replied to this by say
ing that he and Mr.. Byrne did not
mean to iiscriminate that they felt
like the Choctaw people should have
some encouragement from the city;
that the Choctaw was willing to pay
taxes on her property here, and the
Santa Fe had refused to do so; that
the city made an agreement and con
tracted with one of the Santa Fe rep
lresentatives. signed by the council and
the representative to the effect that
the Santa Fe road would give the city
$500 to take charge of and conduct the
Main street water into the mouth of
the big culvert; that months and
months had passed since said contract
was made and entered into, still the
Santa Fe fails and refuses to comply
with her part of the contract.
The mayor stated however, that the
action of himself and Mr.. Byrne had
not been ratified and the council could
take whatever action in the matter
they thought proper.
The council then went into execu
tive session and your reporter had tC
