The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1903-06-04

Two Scotchmen who did valiant
service for their adopted country died
in Washington on Wednesday. They
were Major James Chester, U. S. A.,
retired, and Rear-Admiral David
Smith, U. S. N, retired. The for
mer served in the artillery corps, and
was an authority on matters pertain
ing to that branch of the service.
The latter is remembered chiefly as a
member of the United States steel
board appointed by President Grant,
and also of the board that began in
1890 a systematic plan for re-organiz-
ing the methods and plans of navy
yard administration.

We have found children in Gus

years old, who have never been
to Sunday school-not because
they or their parents did not
want TO go, but because they
have never lived near enough to

BOOM FOR IRRIGATION.
Garden City Convention Pushes
the Work Along.

Garden City, Kas., Dec. 1.-THE sec
ond day of the Western Kansas Irriga-
ton association convention was more
largely attended than the first. Gov
ernor Bailey addressed the convention,
pledging himself to do all in his power
toward facilitating irrigation develop
ment in western Kansas and to use his
influence toward getting experiments
by the government in the western Ar
kansas valley.
The development of the underf1ow
has been before the convention promi-
nently and the feeling is that the gov
ernment at least should take hold of
the experiment and see what can be
done toward the tapping of the under
flow waters for irrigation purposes.
President Nichols of the State Agri-
cultural college gave an interesting ad-
dress dealing mainly with the relation
of the rainfall and climatic conditions
and showing that the rainfall in west
ern Kansas over a number of years
supplemented by irrigation for the
three summer months was ample for
the cultivation of any kind of crops.
W. Y. Morgan, of Hutchinson, ia
vored the convention with talk of
what could be done with a small water
supply. A number of papers were read
the Hays experimental station at Hays
CITY.
Strong resolutions were adopted urg-
ing the Kansas delegation III congress
thing in the line of irrigation expert
menr in western Kansas.
There has been a good attendance all
the Time. great many delegates and
others from outside counties; interest
has been manifested all the way
through. and determination to keep
agitating this subject until congress
shall do as much for people in the arid
regions to get water on their lands as
has been done for people in the south
in trying to keep water off of their
lands.
If the flood waters could be conserved
so as to be used when needed, it would
not only benefit the people of the Mis-
sissipDi valley. but help the great west
at the same time. With richness of
soil, fine climate, and almost every
other natural advantage but water, if
we could only get that in sufficient
quantities would make this territory
the most desirable country east of the
Rocky Mountains. The dividing uues-
ton is whether this can be best OBJ
tained by irrigation from rivers, by
reservoir system. or by underf1ow. and
how best to develop the latter is the
question requiring solution.

flashed out. Mrs. Hazen's clothing was
no doubt saturated with gasoline, and
her hands and arms were covered In
stantly the whole kitchen was filled
with flames. 1 picked up a piece of

Manufacturers Alarmed by Re-

London, Dec. 11.-An imperial grant
in aid of cotton grown in West Africa
will be proposed during the coming ses-
sion of parliament and it is understood
that the suggestion has been favorably
received by the government department
concerned. The British Cotton Growing
association is preparing full details of
the results of the experimental paintings
for submission to the colonial officers
and the recent excitement in Lancashire
caused by the report of the United
States agricultural department of a
shortage in the American crop is being
utilized as a reason why every effort
should be made to render the British
cotton trade Independent of shortages in
the United States.

ROOT DOESN'T CARE.
Will Not Call on Macarthur for
Explanation.

Washington, Dec. 11.-The statements at
tributed to Gen. Macarthur as contained
in dispatches from Honolulu in which he
is alleged to have predicted war in the
immediate future between the United
States and Germany, have come to the
notice of Secretary Root. In inter-
view with the Associated Press repre-
sentative today the secretary said the
cnly information he had on the subject
was what he had seen in the papers. He
did not regard it as a case of calling for
action by him inasmuch as the dispatch
quoted General Macarthur as saying that
the statements in Col. Jones' report to
Gov. Carter did not correctly represent
his views in any particular and utterly
misrepresented them in some.
Secretary Root made the assertion that
of this character delivered in
private conversation would not necessar-
lily shield an officer from the requirement
of an explanation, but he says that Gen
MacArthur's denial carries with it the
weight of an explanation. He therefore
would take no action in the matter.

RATHBONE TO ROOT.
Writes Secretary Letter
About Gen. Woods Accounts,

Washington, Dec. He G. Rath-
bone has addressed a communication to
Secretary Root inquiring if the recent
request of the secretary to the senate
committee on resolutions with Cuba to
have printed the itemized account of
receipts and expenditures of the mill
tary government of Cuba included the
accounts of General Wood in Santiago
from about July to December, 1898, in
elusive, known as the Wood '9S ac-
counts" Major Rathbone states that
the attention of the senate committee
on military affairs was recently called
to these accounts in a written COM
rnunication by one of the auditing Off
GERS of Cuba, who attempted to audit
them and who characterized them as
being in very bad shape. Major Rath-
bone adds that on November 18, he re-
quested the committee to subpoena the
ex-auditing officer above referred to.

Cartwright, minister of trade and
commerce ir the Dominion government.
said:
II think Chamberlain means more
than his critics give him credit for. He
sees the extraordinary power the sell
fish policy of the United States has
placed in Great Britain's hands. Three
courses are open to Great Britain.
They can use their power to force
reciprocity on the states. they can use
it to stimulate emigration and food
PRODUCTION in countries other than the
states, or they might use it to pave the
way for a trade alliance between the
English speaking people Such an alli-
ance would mean a worldwide donlin-
ion of the English speaking peoples.
we may live to see two great world
powers, the Russian and the English
speaking. I would guard against the
United States. They have good quail
ties. although they have sometimes
descended to sharp practices. Long and
often 1 have advocated friendly alli-
ance between Great Britain, Canada
and the United States, and that is why
1 advocate reciprocity with the United
States. and I desire the British zollve-
rein as a step in that direction"

Constantinople, Dec. 1.-THE United

him to embark for Egypt was arrested
by a Subterfuge- After he had embark
ed on the consular boat with Mr.. Davis
Attarian was invited to land, to under

suddenly seized by three policemen and
promptly locked up Mr.. Davis, in at
tempting to interpoSe was assaulted by
the police and was obliged to defend
himself with his cane. Attarian is still
a prisoner.
The report that the U. S. cruiser San
