sANTo DOMINGO REBELS WIN
Two Towns Captured After Bloody
FIGHT Near Dajabon.

Cape Haitien, Oct. 19.-News reach
ing here, but somewhat delayed on
account of bad weather and roads,
gives brief details of a sanguinary
engagement between the San Domin-
gan insurgents and the Government
troops at Canongo, near Dajabon.
The insurgents were in ambuscade
behind a hillock and made surprise
attack on the advancing troops.
There were considerable losses on
both sides.
Making a feint to re-enter Dajabon
the insurgents proceeded to Guayu-
bin and Sabaneta, which they cap
tured without resistance. The loyal
forces proceeded into Dajabon.
A Haitian postan courier, who was
taken prisoner, says the whole front
Ter is in the power of the insurgents.
There is a rumor that La Vega is
among the captured towns. A strict
censorship has been established.

committees are through courtesy sub
ordinated to the requests OF the soc
ieties. Members of the assembly, too
neglect their routine duties to partic-
ipate in these meetings and their
minds are taken up for the time-be-
ing with extraneous considerations,
TO the neglect of matters at stake.
There is, in short, a ceaseless mental
hubbub from start to finish of the
Vermont legislative assembly, with a
consequent drain on the physical re-
sources of those who are sent to
Montpelier to work, rather than to in
dulge in affairs foreign to their du-
ties.
There is no doubt of the good pur-
pose of these patriotic societies in
keeping alive the patriotic impulses
of the people of the state; but they
could do better work if they didn't
compete with the legislature. The
newspapers too, could. and would,
give far more space for dissemina-
ton of information concerning their
meetings and lectures If they had less
news matter to whip into shape in
period of six or twelve hours But
they are, as it is, loaded down with
legislative reports. We should call
it a patriotic duty if the various Soc
ieties and what-not would select some
other dates.-Barre Times.

crOwdlna the Legislature

The Montpelier Journal believes
that the meetings of the patriotic so
cieties during the legislative sessions
have a good influence on the mem
bers (of the legislature)" and it
doubts eff the work of the session is
hindered in any material way" by the
meetings. Perhaps the contempor-
airy is right and the Times would like
to believe that it is; but our expert
ence teaches that the contrary is
true. No doubt the spirit which sur
rounds the meetings of the patriotic
societies is worth absorbing and
gives a new insight for the men who
are gathered from the four corners
of the state into a more or less
strange atmosphere; but at the same
time that very thing forms a divert
ing influence from their duties at
hand. Those who have occupied seats
either in the Senate or the House tes-
tify to the fact that they have enough
on their hands to attend to with their
legislative work, together with night
committee meetings, without having
other meetings bear down upon them
directly or indirectly.
For instance these patriotic socie
ties and others are accustomed each
session to ask. by special privilege, tC
have the use of the halls of the state
house for the holding of their public
meetings and the meetings Of the

is well known, the State has under
taken to carry out a drastic plan Of
conserving her natural gas, a product
IN which she Is particularly rich By

out a domestic charter after which,
II was reasoned, the State could lay
such restrictions as It saw fit. Here
vas a clever conservation scheme OF
its own, and one perhaps that would
have attained its purpose had there
been no United States courts to
reckon with.
There has naturally been consider
able resistance to this arbitrary regu-
lation. In incidental rulings the
courts have made It plain that they
were not prepared to uphold the State
in restricting the sale of gas within
her own borders. More directly to
the point is the intelligence that Judge
CAMPBELL Of the Eastern District Fed
