A SOLID CORNER.

: A noticeable feature in Vermont
politics for more than a decade past
has been the practical unanimity, the
almost complete harmony, with which
the three northeastern counties, Cal
edonia, Orleans and Essex, have lined
up in support OF the candidates put
forward by that section. Other coun-
ties adjacent to each other in other
parts of the state disagree, and most
of them generally split up themselves,
seldom presenting a solid front for
anybody, even when the county itself
has a candidate.
Not so with the three northeastern
counties. By some mysterious pro-
cess, as yet unknown to the rest of
the state, there are no conflicting can
didacies from that corner. and from
the beginning of the canvass it is per-
fectly safe to count the whole section
solid for the man who comes forward
as it's candidate. 1t was so with Bell
this year; it was so always with Gen
eral Grout; so when his brother, Jo-
siah, tried for the governorship. In
fact, within our memory it has never
been otherwise, with the slight excep-
ton of the congressional contest of
1900, when Essex had a candidate,
Porter II. Dale, Caledonia supported
Wendell P. Stafford, and scattering
delegates voted for the, other candi-
dates, Kittredge Haskins and Frank
Plumley. The advent of the brilliant
Prouty as rival of General Grout in
the memorable senatorial struggle of
that same year promised to break the
precedent, but Prouty was so COM
pletely smothered by Grout in his
own section as to embphasize the
rule, rather than to disturb it.
Either Republicans of that corner
all possess the great minds said tt
run in the same, channel, or some
adroit management controls, or, still
more probable northeastern Vernon
has learned that by observing har
mony and presenting united front
can generally win, with such supper
as naturally comes from the rest o
the state.-Herdld and NelUs.

Russia and Great Britain.
The British government is taking
energetic action in the case of the
sinking of the British steamer Knight
Commander by Vladivostok squadron
All information received by the gov

been committed for which no excuse
exists in international law. The de-
mands which will be made upon the
Russian government will include com
pensation to the owners of the ship
and to the owners of the goods on
board the Knight Commander, an apol-
ogy for the action of Russian cruis-
ers and an agreement that instruc-
tons be given which will prevent a
repetition of such act. British ship
owners are up in arms over the dan

thorough protection of their interests.

The FALL RIVER STRUGGLE.

Thost test of endurance between the |
FallsRiver cotton goods manufactur-
ersand their 80, 900 employees, wheth-
Cd the II 12 per cent. cut-down in
wages, which will make % IL per |
cent. in six months, is to be accepted |
or not, begins peacefully. The line
up of the two forces of capital and
labor generally causes a good deal of
uneasiness, but the signs are that the
present contest will be conducted
without rioting and probably ended
peacefully. PROFESSIONALLY, both
rsides are prepared for long, stub
tborn contest, but the operatives have
little confidence of winning.
During the year cotton has been IN
precedentedly high, When, with the
slaekening of orders, the mill treas
urers realized that they we're losing
at both ends, in buying their raw ma
terial at dearer figures and in being
compelled to let their own selling
schedules go unchanged because of
the fierce competition from the south,
they concluded that the one way to
save themselves was in a wage reduc-
ton. This has come and the strike is
the response. The same result would
have followed with less friction, had
they simply closed for a month, and
said nothing about a cut down in
wages, until the time came to open
again. Then, if conditions should be
as bad as now, they could either open
at the reduced wages, or not open at
all. Until the southern states either
revise their laws and conditions of
labor in cotton mills, or we do ours,
the industry there must thrive at the
expense of our great mill centres.
Probably, the Fall River mills are
really glad to close at this time. A
banner cotton crop is ahead. When
that begins to arrive, the raw mate
rial may be bought at a figure where
a profit may be made even under the
old schedule of wages. Equally true
is it that this is the time of the year
when the employees welcome relax
alton. Another month will determine
the price of cotton for another season,
and that price will determine what
the cotton mills of New England car
do in the way of wages the coming
year. Mark our word for it, no strike
of any serious nature can or will sue
coed, when the public is satisfied tina
the mills are paying all they cal
afford to.-BostoR Advertiser.

Annual Grange Meeting at Bellows Falls
1t has been voted to hold the annual
meeting of the Grange in Bellows
Falls as suggested at last annual gath
ering of the order, and it was decided
to occupy four days this year instead
of three as usual, this change being
due to the increased amount of bust
ness to come before the meeting this
year. According to the regulations
of the order the meeting will open
on Tuesday of the second week in
December. About 500 delegates are
expected, and their entertainment
will be looked after by the local
oranges of Westminster, Saxtons

Bethel Railroad.
There is now every prospect that
work on the proposed railroad from
Bethel to the granite quarries six
miles above the town will begin be-
|
the E. B. Ellis Granite Co., of North
field, and will eventually be owned by
the Central Vermont railway. 1t is
now estimated that it will only re-
ouire one switohback to climb the
mountain and that the road will cost
in the neighborhood of $50, 900 The
granite near Bethel is the peculiar
white granite now so much desired and
there is much reason to expect that
the development of these quarries
will mean the upbuilding of great
industry
Drowning at Springfield.
Adm Densmore, aged 25, was
drowned in the Connecticut river four
miles from Springfield Sunday noon.
With his parents and sister he was

His sister and another girl were in

logs that began to float away. Young
Densmore and Will Stomer started in
canoe to get the girls and in some
way the canoe struck the logs and
capsized. Densmore who could not
swim, grabbed Stomer around the
neck and dragged him down, nearly
drowning him. Stomer was rescued
in an unconscious condition but Dens-
more's body was not recovered for
two hours. The two girls were also
saved.

LOSSES AT LIAOYANG
GENERAL kuRoPATkIN GIVES
HIS CASUALTIES AS SIX.
TEEN THOUSAND.

st. Petersburg, Sept. GA dispatch
received from General Kuropatkin,
forwarded Sunday evening, indicates
that Kuropatkin's army and General
Kuroki's army are racing for Mukden
and that the result is in doubt. Cen
eral Kuropatkin says that the retreat
is being conducted in perfect order.
The Japanese repeatedly attacked
the Russians on Saturday but were re-
-peatedly repulsed.
The Russian losses during the fight
ing at Liaoyang are estimated at 49,
600. There is no doubt here that a
number of guns, especially heavy ar
tillery, have been abandoned.
1t is officially stated that the united
Russian forces are now north of Yen
tai, except detachment left at that
place to cover the retreat.

authority that Kuroki, after taking the
heights near Heiyingtai, about fifteen
miles northeast of Liaoyang, occupied

to be concentrated twenty miles from
Liaoyang, are now retreating in the

numbers of guns and quantities of am
munition and other supplies were cap.
tured in the fortifications and near the
railroad station.

JAPANESE PRESS Ho1LY IN PURSUIT

The st. Petersburg authorities ex-
press themselves as confident that the
critical stage of the Russian retreat is
past and that Kuropatkin is no longer
in danger of losing any part of his
forces to the pursuing Japanese. It is
also given out in st. Petersburg that
the bulk of Kuropatkin's army is now
near Mukden, where it is taking up
prepared positions, but dispatch to
the Associated Press from Mukden
says that the main Russian army was
pushing northward and evacuating
Mukden. While details of the situa-
tion are lacking dispatches indicate
that the Japanese are still harrassing
the Russian rear. General KurOpatkin
is now at Mukden. Toxic preserves
an absolute silence regarding the

Crews Of Russian Vessels Dismantled

Shanghai, Sept. 5.-The crews of
the Russian cruiser Askold and the
torpedo boat destroyer Grozovoi, which
took refuge here after the naval battle
off Port Arthur Aug. 10 and which sub
sequently were dismantled, will re-
main in China until the close of the
war. They will be divided and sent
to Tientsin, Chefoo, Hankow, Shang-
hal and Foochow, the treaty ports
where there are Russian consulates.
1t has now been learned that the
Askold had an unusual large supply
of ammunition on board when she
came into this port. This amounted
to los rounds for each of her large
guns and a plentiful supply for her

Russians Believe He Will Escape With

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 8.-From the
latest advices received by the war Of
fee the authorities now believe that
the danger of Field Marshal Oyama
cutting off General Kuropatkin has
practically passed. According to their
calculations the whole Russian army
should reach Mukden Thursday night.
Generals Kuroki and Kuropatkin have
been marching northward along paral-
lei lines, both armies being greatly
hampered by heavy roads, the Japan
ese in a rough region and the Russians
along fiat country.
The general staff naturally is reti-
cent about Kuropatldn's plans, es-
pecially whether he intends to stop at
Mukden. His decision probably will
depend on the intentions of the Jap
anese. Contingent preparations will
probably be made to evacuate Mukden
and there is considerable evidence that
Kuropatkin, if compelled to go north,
will make a stand at Telling, where
the Russians wintered last year. Tie
ling is forty miles north of Mukden.
At this point there is a narrow defile,
with the Lao river on one side and
mountains running almost down to the
railroad on the other. Steps are being
taken to guard against possible at
tempt to cut the line there.

General Kuropatlzin has been since
Monday. His troops, it is understood,
are not entering the city, but are tax
ing up prepared positions around Muk-
den. While there is no specific in
formation on this point the general
staff believes that only a small rear
guard is in the neighborhood of Yen
tai. No further fighting of importance
is expected south of Mukden. The
critical stage is regarded as having
passed and the announcement was
made during the afternoon that the

Mukden, Sept. THE retreat of

carried out in good order despite the
terrible condition of the roads, rem
dered sodden by the rains which fell
Monday and Tuesday, which mire the

trains. Long lines of commissiarat
wagons, drawn by steaming mules,

back Of them still Kuropatkin's army.
The Japanese are hanging on Kuropat-
kin's TANKS, keeping the Russians en-
gagged in continuous rear guard ac-
ton. The progress of the retreating
army has been slow, owing to the me-
cessity of first getting through the
baggage and guns, but the heads of
the commissiarat trains already have
passed through Mukden and are con-
tinuing their way towards the north.
The main Japanese army is march
ing up along the roads eastward of

ese force is heading for Mukden from

tion of the Liao river.
