the House exhausted its orstory on that
subject in a session of four and three
quarter hours yesterday. The bill appro-
PIRATES $l6, 500, 900 for canal work. The
features of the debate was the criticism in

Gratis regarding the incompleteness of the
statement of expenditures and estimates
furnished by the Canal Commission.
Mr. Hepburn, in charge of the bill,
made some efforts to show that while de-
tailed estimates might be more sstisfac-
tory, at the same time members of the
House we're not in a p 'sition TO pass
critical judgement on estimates for such
work prepared by expert engineers who
held responsible positions aud had been
selected because OF their fitness.
Mr.. Cochran took decided ex ception to this
attitude on the part of Mr.. Hepburn, applied
it as affecting all matters Of appropriation
and arraigned it as decidedly the wrong at
titude for Legislators To enforce his argu-
ment be read the sentiment Of the President
in his message for economy and scrutiny OF

$4,000 year, and some curiosity was mani

brought to bear upon Governor Bell to
commute the death sentence of Mary
Rogers to life imprisonment. Percival
Clement, the Rutland millionaire miner

didste TO succeed Governor Bell, has
written a letter TO the Vermont governor,
urging him to reprieve Mary Rogers
until after the legislature next fall, and
stating that if he is elected governor, he
will use all his influence to have capital
punishment abolished. Mr.. Clement
expressed the firm opinion in his letter
to the governor that Mrs. Rogers is in
sane and was insane at the time the deed
was committed.
A report was current here this after
noon that Gov. Bell will hold a confer
renee at White River Junction tonight.

Peck. The reason tor this unexpected
conference are not given, but a story

As explaining the refusal of hundreds
of Pottsyille, Pa, parents 10 have their

formerly Of the State Board of Health,
has written State Health Commissioner
Dixon thus;
'In an experience of nearly thirty
wears, and including large experience
IN the West Indies, l have never seen
such universally bad results following
vaccination. 1t would seem that practi-
cslly all the arms, which are seen are
II fected, some of them iearfully So"
The compulsory vaccination laws has
grown in such disferor in that section OF
PENNSYLVANIA that Porter F. Cope, Sec
leary general of the Constitutional
League of the United States, and Law
verC. Oscar Beasley will next Friday adj
dress big characterization meeting at
Waynesboro. The meeting is designed
to crystalizc the opposition to compulsory
vaccination, which State Health Com
missioner Dixon, in recent address at
Chambersburg, before the Teachers In
situte, said would be enforced upon the
public school children of Franklin cOun-
ty. The opposition to vaccination is
7 ronounced in that county. A recent
poll of $50 families showed all OF them
OF one mind against vaccination. The
superintendent of schools in the county
has ordered the exclusion of children
who have not been vaccinated after
December IL. The Waynesboro meet
ing is to take action in regard to this
order. Lawyer Bessley expressed his
approval of Attorney General Carson's
opinion that parents could not be COM
4, elled to vaccinate their children in
order to comply with the compulsory
school law and said that the point had
been decided several times in the same
way in the lower courts. The wonder
is that any such law should ever have
been passed.
