Back and forth the farmers riding
On Their clicking mowers pass.
And before their steady charges
Fails IN serried ranks the grass.
While the blades o. steel In rriuuruh
Meet the tender blades AZ green
Ger the conquered field. In masses.
DARK and threatening clouds are seen.
Catchy, very catchy weather.
and TIE gentle rain comes down,
And the erstwhile yictors darker
Than the Swallowed heavens froWn.
Tried by week Of stormy weather.
Comes their piety's great test
In the dawning u hay-day
On the blessed DAY OF rest.
Then az times one almost fancies
A. the breezes nearer steal.
That the clicking Of the mower
Mingles with the churchbeli's peal.
But II 80, confusion surely
Ger the farmers mind holds sway
And, his calendar forgetting,
He has merely lost q day.

Special Train to the Pacific.

The assurance of a very large party OF
excursionists from Vermont to the q. A.
r. encampment at San Francisco next
month has led Department Commander
Kenfeld and Capt. B. f. Bowman to
arrange with the railroad officials for a
special train for the party, instead OF cars
alone. The train will consist OF five
tourist sleepers, a smoker and a baggage
car and will leave Saturday afternoon,
August S, and run as a special to Chicago.
The time OF leaving White River Junction
and other points to st. Adams will
be announced later. This plan will
make the trip much more enjoyable.
II is said that the Vermont party will
have the best railway outfit OF any de-
partment. II lis probable that at least
at least 200 will go from Vermont. A
large proportion OF the sleeping car ac-
commodations are already taken and
the balance going so fast that another
car will probably have to be added.
The Vermont department has given an
order to the Maple Sugar Exchange of
this place for boxes of maple sugar to be
distributed among the other state de-
partments as souvenirs. Each box con-
tains eight two-ounce cakes, each cake
done up in a neat ribbon, with appro-
pirate legend. 1t will be Just about the
thing to to tickle a sweet tooth from
the far West or Central States.

THE CHINESE INDEMNITY
Poscers Nay Demand Territory IF
They DO Not ReceiUc Gold.

Peking, Jan. 5--The signatories of the Chi
nese peace protocol. except the American. have
consulted their respective governments and
have practically decided to send identical notes
to China, declaring that her failure to fulfil the
obligations provided for by the protocol will
entail grave consequences. A strong sentiment
exists in favor of compromise, if China will
admit that the protocol demands the payment
of the indemnity gold basis and confine her
arguments to the hardships resulting from the
increase of the debt by nearly 20 per cent since
the signing of the protocol through the depres-
sion in the value of silver and the probable fur
ther increase from the expected adoption of the
gold standard in the Philippines and in the
Straits Settlements But the powers refuse TO
waive what they consider the plain interpreta-
tion of the protocol. The danger exists that
if China maintains her position some of the
powers may demand territory concessions for
compensation.

ANOTHER CASE FOR THE HAGUE.
This Government May Propose Arbitration
of Chinese Indemnity Dispute.

Washington. Jan. 3.-The State Department
has received advices from Peking announcing
the declina ton of the powers to receive their
second indemnity instalment silver basis
1t is not understood that the declination was
aCcompa MED by a threat. but the action itself
is regarded as sinister, If, has been suggested
it is not taken with a view to making a record
of the position of the powers in this matter
The situation is regarded here warranting
some concern, although. unless the Washington
government is utterly to discredt every state
ment of the powers in the last two years when
ever the possibility of division of China came
up II cannot believe there is intention to pro-
ceed 70 extremes.
1t is again suggested that the time is ripe Tor
reference of this important issue to The Hague
tribunal a consumrnation devoutly wished for
by China, and a cause which has commended
itself to the Washington government. The
United States which is interested equally with
the other powers in getting much money
as ii can in the shape of indemnity, still feels
bound by moral law to support the Chinese con-
tention for the silver basis, looking not only on
the language of the protocols and the Pekng
treaty itself but also having a solicitous regard
for China's integrity and perpetuity as nation
The other powers are united in demanding
settlement Oh the gold basis This is an issue
which in the mind of officials here is eminenty
adapted to the methods of arbitration So far
China alone has suggested reference to The
Hague tribunal but it is possible and even prob
able that if the powers going to extremes
the United States Government will again feel
ho,,nd ia discharge its duty under Article VIII
of The Hague tribunal and point the way to
