Probably Killed BY BLOWS.


Investigation into the death of Peter
Durand, an aged inmate OF the insane
ASYLUM at Waterbury who, died the first
OF November, was brought to a close
Wednesday. and the report of the board
OF supervisors will be made in a few
weeks. Witnesses testified that Durand
persisted in rising from his chair and
leaving the room, and that two attend
ants Coon and Dennis, struck him. DR..
James said that he found Durand's
breastbone bruised and four ribs broken,
as we'll as minor Injuries. In his opinion
the primary cause OF death was the blows
Inflicted by the two defendants. DR.. W.
L. WATSON, second assis ant physician
at the hospital, thought Durand's death
was due to blow on the head.
Speakers Pictures.
A large portrait OF Congressman Kit
tredge Haskins, speaker in 1898 and
1900, sent by Mr. Haskins, has just been
received at the State House, at Mont.
peier. This picture is to be hung in the
speakers room of the building and was
sent in response to a request that was
made some time ago. II the present
plan is carried out the pictures of many
old speakers of the House of Representa-
tives OF Vermont will adorn the walls of
this room. A portrait of ex Gov. W.
W. Sticknev, who was speaker from
1892 to 1896, is already hung; W. A.
Lord. who occupied the chair in 1896 SO
and Fletcher D. Proctor, 10000, and !.
H. Merri6eld, who has been the incum.
hent of the Office since 1902, have
promised to send their pictures. Several
Others are expected and it is hoped that
a large number of these will be in place
before legislature convenes next fall.
The committees of Raptists and Free
Baptists elected at the national anniver.
saries of the two denominations met in
New York and unanimously voted that
there was no longer any doctrinal differ.

CARNATIONS have taken this step, un.
doubtedIy the Baptists and Free Bap
lists in Vermont will soon be one. The
Vermont Baptist state convention ap

possible, all the Baptists in Vermont
together and DR.. W. A. Dawson is

p LUCK GOING TO WIN TIE ,E.

The construction of the cana
will cost time. lives and animmense
amount of money; but it will be
built all right; no doubt about
that. What Americans set out to
do they do. Undoubtedly There
is yellow fever on the I8thmus of
Panama. There always is. The
Isthmus is not a health resort.
There will be deaths from this
and other diseases among those
engaged in the construction of the
great canal. This was to have
been, and is to be, expected. But
this is no argument against the
prosecution of the great under
taking. This is not a Nation OF
towards or weaklings, although it
has plenty of both; as well as
cheap critics ard mounting dema'
gogues who are ever ready to decry
any effort involving cost and cour-
age and the exercise of that spirit
without which there is no great
achievement. The danger from
disease will be reduced to the
minimum by the best efforts OF
medical science, and through all
possible sanitary precautions, but
at best Panama is hardly the
place flor inyalids in search OF
health.

wAc,Ne WARFARE FOR SCIENCE

What will perhaps be the most
interesting contest of the century
will take place in New Orleans dur
ing the next few weeks. Yellow
fever has made its appearance in
that city and science, armed and
panoplied for an encounter to the
death, has stepped into the arena
to dispute its progress and to ex-
terminate it. Much scientific in
formation has been gained from
experiments of the past few years
in Cuba and in the Spanish Amer
lean countries, and these expe-
riments have convinced the sci
entists of the world and the medi-
cal fraternity generally, that the
disease is conveyed by the pesky
mosquito.
Therefore a determined fight is
to be made upon the mosquito,
and the health authorities urge
every citizen to contribute his eff
forts to assisting in the work OF
DISCRIMINATING this pestiferous dis
ease carrying insect.
Ina crisis of this character nc
intelligent citizen can afford to act
contrary to the accepted canons
of scientific hygiene. Whether he
believes in the mosquito theory OF
transmission or not there can be nc
harm in carrying out the rules and
regulations prescribed by the scien
fists and doing everything possible
to assist the health authorities il
the work of stamping out the fe
yer. If anybody has pet theory
which may believe to be infalliblt
the work of destroying the mos
quito need LII no wise lnterfef(
with that theory, but the two cal
well go ON hand in hand.
The two important objects to bt
attained now are the combining o
the disease within as limited {
space as possible and its speedy
determination. Therefore, what
ever measures that promise to d.
this most speedily and most effec
lively must be adopted.

NIT. Taylor Closes.

Albert Taylor and his capable com pany of actors closed their Montgom- cry engagement last night with a presentation of Texas at the Bijou Theatre.
 Texas" is in repertoire parlance a good Saturday night bill' as it enables the actors to present all that is blood thirsty and sensational in melodrama.
 The audience was enthusiastic throughout and there were frequent outbursts of applause.
 MT. Taylor appeared as Jim Bowie and gave a convincing and realistic portrayal of the heroic Texan.
 Miss Klohr was sympathetic and womanly as Ella, the wife of Bowie. She has an attractive appearance and has made a fine impression in Mont gOmery.
 The specialties by members of Mr. Taylor's company are of high class. They are superior to those usually presented by repertoire companies. Mir. Browning. MT. Oliver, MT Duke and the McGreevy's are entertainers that would do credit to any amusement en- terprise.
 MT. Taylor and his company may ex- pect warm welcome on their return to Montgomery. Their painstaking efforts are to be commended.

tory powers, solemnly declared such to be our intention; and nothing Is gained by reiterating our adherence to the principles while refusing to provid, any means of making our intention effective.
 Tn this amended form the treaties contain nothing except such expression of barren intention and indeed as com pared with what has already been pro- vided for it by The Hague arbitration treaty, they probably represent not a step forward, but a slight step back ward as regards the question of inter national arbitration. As such l do not think they should receive the sane tion of this Government. Personally 1t is now my opinion that this Govern ment lacks the power to enter a gen. eral agreement of arbitration. but if I am In error and if this Government has no power to enter into such gen eral treaties then it seems to me that 1t is better not to attempt to make them, rather than to make the attempt in such shape that they shall accom- pltsh literally nothing whatever when made. Sincerely yours,
 Theodore Roosevelt. Hon. s. M Cullom. Chairman Com
 mittee on Foreign Relations,
 United States Senate"
 Senator Cullom read the letter aloud during an executive session of the Sem ate today. It was received with a great deal of surprise and several Sen ators, asserted that the letter confirmed what they had claimed, namely, that the words treaty" and "agreement were the essential points. They in sisted that if the word agreement" instead of treaty" was used it would give the President full power to nego- t- i, them to the Senate.
 Senator Spooner insisted that the Senate should uphold It's dignity as a coordinate branch of the Government and that it could not accept the view of any other branch of the Government in the matter of exercising It's consti- tutional functions as part of the treaty making power.
 Senator Lodge said 1t was for the Senate to determine it's rights accord ing to the constitution and to insist upon all of its prerogatives. He spoke of his personal relations to the Presi- dent and said that it was hard for him to take a position so directly con- trary to the views of the President. He declared that he was sure the Presi- dent was not wlllfully trying to usurp the powers of the Senate, nor to gather NO AAAA9NAA any POWCIo OlHGf than that which constitutionally belonged to the executive and that the differences were confined to phraseology in the treaties The most honorable motives were ascribed to the President by Senator Lodge and Senators who followed ex- pressed the highest regard for the President.
 Senator Foraker, who was emphatic in his assertion that the Senate was in duty bound to maintain It's position in this matter if only to prevent the es- tablishment of a dangerous precedent Several Senators took exception to the statement made by Senators Platt (Conn.) and Fairbanks, that the words treaty" and agreement" as used in the original treaty and the proposed amendment were synonymous and that there could be no reason for the adop- ton of the amendment.
 Senator Foraker was talking when the hour arrived for the convention of the Senate as a court for the Swayne impeachment trial

Police Think the BIgamist is Breaking
 Down,

Down.
 Chicago, Feb. 11-Johann Hoch, the self-confessed bigamist, is thought by the police today to be on the point of breaking down. He no longer acts the part of a comedian. His smile is wearing off. Inspector Shippy said today that Hoch had about reached the point where he is willing to tell some things which have been denied by him before. While not admitting he an ticipated a full confession soon, the inspector said the prisoner might tell a sensational story at any time.
 Today the lines in Hoch's forehead and the furrows in his cheeks plainly told that he is worried.
 We have sufficient evidence to hold Hoch to the grand jury" was the statement made by Coroner Hoffmann.
 The coroner intimated that he att tached most importance to a final re- port on the final analysis of the inter- nal organs of Mary Marie Walck- Hoch. The analysis has established the fact that arsenic was found in the victim s stomach but whether this was the di- rect cause of death cannot be estab- Ished until the entire examination of other organs has been completed.
