Mr. EDITOR
Being Vermonter by birth and taking
an active part in the last campaign 1eel
like doing something to champion the
cause that 1 worked for last September.
Nowhere in the world are the effects OF the
saloon better exemplified than here in CAL
ifornia. Every little town one passes
through the saloon meets his gaze. Red
| Bluff, the county seat of Tehama County,
with about twenty-five hundred inhab1-
/ tants. has thirteen saloons. The town OF
Sissons in Shasta County with population
of eight hundred fifty has twenty saloons
/ all in row. Think of it How would
that suit Barton or Newport? "What is the
matter with Vermont on the liquor ques
tion?'' has been asked me repeatedly
by New England people. 1 handed
copy of the present license bill to an old
Californian. He read the bill through
carefully and raising bis spectacles from
his eyes slowly remarked, "Tll be doggec
on! What kind of men do you fellows IL
Vermont send to the legislsture?" Ther
he looked at it again and said, 'l'n b.
logged ou! That beats me! Seven kind
OF licenses and no selling to person VIII
has been drunk inside six months Ant
those honest druggists-only ten dolla
license-pretty near free rum, eh !" VIII
wants the saloon in Vermont? l snswe
the rumseller and he only; Others ma.
think they want it but let me tell you the
do not. II you have any respect for you
wives, IL you have any regard for your boys
IL you have any regard for the good nam
! OF your old Green Mountain state, go fort
on the Sd OF February to the polls with
! club in one hand and dirk in the other,
needs be, and club and stab this diabolics
= bill by voting NO, and do it by such
overwhelming majority that the saloo
, men will dive for their holes and foreve
hold their peace hereafter. Let every ma
= attend the annual March meeting and Sc
that men are elected to office who wi
enforce the present law and close up all tt
sly bsckdoor rum holes and Vermont wi
have no use for Percivil w. Clement {
another campaign like the one just comm
to close. This is the way it seems to m
!. How does it appear to you?

PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE.
No Drastic Action Till All the Facts
Have Been Learned.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. q. =
President Roosevelt issued orders to-
night that the European squadron, I'M
der command Of Admiral Cotton, should
proceed, Immediately to Reirut, Syria,
to be in readiness to support, any de-
mand made by the United States on
Turkey on account of the assassination
of William c.. MageIssen, United States
vice consul at Beirut. The president
manifested anxious interest in the an
nounc ementn of the, aSSaSSina ton OF
Vice Consul Magelssen. -. -@-.. ..so
Tonight he is in close communication
with the departments and will be kept
fully advised of the. details of the incl
dent as they are ascer tanned. ~ :
For several days President Roosevelt
has been following closely the develop
ments of the situation in Turkey. With
that country'in such turmoil as now
prevails almost anything is likely to
happen. With a. view to considering
the subject more carefully the presi-
dent and Secretary Of State Hay had
arranged for conference tomorrow at
Sycamore HILL The secretary is now en-
route to Oyster Bay.
In the absence of definite informa-
ton concerning the assassination of
the vice consul the president will take
no decided step beyond that already
tdhGIl Ill Tic OpCcll SdCIho-
ron to Beirut. This action is view as a
precautionary measure. It is the de-
termination of the United States to
support it's demands ON Turkey for the
punishment of the murderers Of Consul
Magelssen, but until the circumstances
surrounding the murder are known Off
cially and precisely, the United States,
it is said, will not take drastic action.
A demand that officials of the United
States be afforded protection for their
lives and property will be made and
the Turkish government will be held
responsible for. the assassination Of
Consul Magelssen,f whatever may be
the circumstances of the case.
The officials of the state department
will be fully advised by Minister Leish-
man of the details Of the crime and
the president will then be in a position
to present to Turkey the demands Of
the United States, with naval force on
the spot Of sufficient strength to en-
force them adequately.

N. P. GETS THOSE
OLD TOWN STREETS
Council Committee Comes to
Agreement on the Company's
Terminal Project. /

This is what the Northern Pacific
Railway company gives st. Paul in re-
turn for the four cross streets in Old
Town that will comprise part of it's
new terminals, work on which the COM
pany hopes to begin by the latter part
of next week.
What was really the finale in the
company's long -drawn-out stuggle to
obtain the vacation of the four streets
necessary was reached yesterday aft
ernoon when the committee on streets
Of the board of aldermen unanimously
approved all the papers and ordinances
| bearing on the matter.
All that now remains is the formal
| passage by the board next Tuesday
/ evening of the several ordinances and
| agreements and the mayors signature
| the following day, which will undoubt-
| edly be given. The streets vacated
are Locust, Willius, Neill and Kilt
son. Fifth street was originally in
Guided, bit it was later omitted.
Because it was the first time that
the proposed vacation had come be-
fore them, some of the members of the
committee wanted the entire matter
laid over, but Assistant General Coun-
sci Chamberlain was inSiStent that de-
lay would enbarrass the company, and
finally succeeded in having the COM
mittee give it's sanction.
In agreeing to build a bridge over
Kittson street to connect with the
Sixth street bridge, the company was
moved to action by the claims of many
property owners that the closing of the
street would injure their interests.
However it will be fully year before
any work in that direction is done, be-
cause Of the inability to get steel, but
pending its construction the tracks will
be so arranged that the street can be
used.
Fourth street, Fifth street and prob
ably John street will be paved by the
company at its own expense. Sixth
street is already paved, but the COM
pany will pay its share, which is near
ly one-half The sewers which the
company will build include one on
Fifth street and the raising of one on
Fourth street.
On the territory included in the va
Gated section the company will build
STE, 600 freight house. Contracts have
been let fer it's erection and work will
be commenced next week. The freight
house will be forty feet wide, 1000
feet long and two stories high. In the
yards adjacent, eleven sets of tracks
will be. laid.
Exclusive of the purchase of ground,
the improvement will represent an in
vestment of nearly $250,000. Construc-
ton tools are now being hauled to the
grounds preparatory to beginning
work Many cars of ties and lumber
have been hauled to the locality.

,Magelssen had three brothers and

of the brothers are ministers, one of
them, Rev. H,oGg Magelssen. being To-

pastor of the same congregation in
Brateburg for over thirty years. His
family is well known and is held in
high esteem by an extensive acquaint-
ance.
MIR. Magelssen was a very able
man." said Mr.. Hamann. HE was in
dependent and dignified in manner and
would tolerate no indignities. He was
greatly interested in the diffusion Of
American trade methods in foreign
countries, and II am not surprised if his
efforts to aid in the Introduction of
American agricultural machinery
aroused the ire of the lower classes.

ter on East Fourth Street.

st. Paul is to have another vaudeville
house. At least this is the information
given out by Ralph Thorbus, of San
Francisco, who is in the city making
arrangements for the opening of the
house, which will be located in the
Frost block at 80 East Fourth street,
the three-story building located be-
tween the Globe building and Court
block Mr.. Thorbus expects to have his
theater ready for business Oct 1.
Mr.. Thorbus says it is his intention
to open a first-class house and give
continuous vaudeville. He will expend
$4,000 in reftting the building. George
j, Grant, the contractor, has been en-
gagged to do the work. The plans call
for seating capacity of $50. Appli-
cation for license was filed with the
city clerk yesterday, but it was not
granted, as the ordinances will have to
be more closely consulted before it can
be determined just what kind of a Ii
cense will be required.
Mr.. Thorbus has two theaters of the
kind in San Francisco and also houses
in other Western cities. He intends to
open similar houses in st. Paul and

ing Secretary Darling cabled the ad-
miral at Nice to be ready to go TO

Appointed Through Nelson.
Magelssen, who was Scandinavian.
was appointed from Minnesota vice
consul at Beirut, Sept 20, 1899, by
Consul Gabriel Bic Ravudal. who is of
the same nationality. AT the time OF
his appointment as vice consul he was
consular clerk in, Turkey. Magelssen
was appointed on the recommendation
of Senator Nelson of Minnesota. He
was born at Bratsburg, Fillmore coun-
ty, MINI. -
Minister LeishHan's eablegram was
dated yesterdays and stated that the as
sassination occurred Sunday, the min
lister being informed of the crime by
Consul Ravudal.ft The consul stated
that the murderer was not seen and is
not known. The announcement Of the
assassination of the. American vice con-
sui, following SO soon upon the assas-
sination of Russian consul in Tur-
key, created strong comment IN of1clal
circles and the suggestion was made
that such frequent assassinations in
dictate a very disturbed condition Olaf
fairs in the Turkish dominions. Min
lister Leishman gave no particulars OF
, the assassination and the state 6Hpart-
ment has no Information as to the
cause of the murder.
In the absence of particulars no mo-
tive can be ascHibed for the crime, and
the state department. officials have no
means of suggesting theory as to why
the vice consul should have been kill
ed. There have been no complaints
about him or his work and the meager
cablegram conveys not the slightest
suggestion of a. cause for the crime.
