NORTH SEA INQUIRY.
Admiral Fournier VIII shortly An
nounce His Decision.

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE work of the
international commission is practically
closed until n decision is reached. when
Admiral Fourier, the president. will
call a meeting for the public announce
ment. The admrals in the meantime
will hold daily private sessions TO de-
liberate upon the decision.
The British summary Of facts has
been stated as follows:
First-That no torpedo boats or tor
pedo boat destrOyers We're In the vicini-
ty of the incident, as shown by the
declarations of the fishermen and the
official statements of various govern
ments that no torpedo boats belonging
to their fleets We're in that neighbor-
hood, and that therefore the Russians
made mistake largely as the result OF
apprehension that an attack was about
to occur.
Second.-That fire was opened with
out sufficient reason and was continued
for an unreasonable time after the
mistake had been detected.
Third.-That no effort was made to
succor the sinking ships or wounded.
Fourth.-That not the slightest ir'
regularity was shown in the conduct OF
the innocent fishing feet.
The Russian summary. after setting
forth the justification under four heads
concludes as follows.
1.-THE imperial Russian government
therefore maintains that the fire Of the
Russian squadron was ordered and ex
ecuted in the legitimate accomplish
ment of the military duties of the com
mander of the squadron. Consequently
no responsibility whatever Is charged
BILE against Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
or any of the officers of the squadron.

depIores that the incident resulted II

mirals responsibility being obliterated

The brightest remark we have heard
of lately was by a Bennington lady TO
her doctor. She was i'll in bed with a
serious disease of her digestive APP
paratus and was asked what she
thought was the cause of her trouble.
Pointing to mass of score cards and
souvenirs, each one representing a
party or social gathering OF
some sort she replied; "Those are
what all me. " She was everlastingly
right too. Before the women talk
about reforming the men and society
generally, they should show their
ability by reforming party refresh
ments which kill more woman every
year than the plague in India.

Town meeting will soon be here. On
all parties and all factions In all
towns the Banner would like to impress
this advice. Town business is impor-
tant and needs honest capable men to
transact it. Don't try to elect a man
to office because Of his politics or popu-
larity or because you like him. You
can't expect good results In town Office
from a man whose Judgment or ability
are such that you would hate to trust
him to unload fall-born shote On a
rising market.

the number OF towns voting for license,
marking not great change in senti.
mentbut natural reaction from the an.

That Vermont could be independent
of the beef trust is proved by the facts
given in another column relative to the
high grade beef raised on the Colgate
farm. Indeed it is practically certain
that with the present high prices of
meat, and which bid fair to continue
high indefinitely, beef cattle could be
raised at agood margin of profit in
Vermont, especially 10 the back towns
where land is cheap and good markets
