RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT FIRST.

There is no doubt that the purpose
back of the invitation to Vice President
Byrnes of the Boston & Maine railroad
to visit Barre and Montpelier was car
ried out; the purpose was to show him
what Barre and Montpelier have to en-
courage his railroad system in develop
ing its recently acquired properties in
this section of Vermont. The natural
resources in granite must have impressed
him, judging by his expressed belief that
with the proper cooperation between
railroad and producer, the output of
Barre granite might be doubled In
that, Barre and Montpelier agree with
him; but they need railroad facilities,
and that is perhaps included in the Co
operation" which Mr.. Byrnes spoke of
at the banquet last night. That doubled
output can only come with the better
ing of railroad facilities; so it seems
that first in the order of procedure must
come the lettering of railroad facilities,
TO be followed naturally by the in
creased output of granite. The bus
mess will respond to the encouragement
which such railroad development will
bring If it shall be gwen to the Boston
s Maine system to furnish those de-
velopments and share in those increased
earnings is for the Boston Maine rail-
road to say After his inspection of the
resources and his personal contact with
the confident men, who are engaged in
the business, Mr.. Byrnes ought to be
able to say whether his railroad system
or some other system shall profit in due
measure az 8da

The new superintendent of the Yer
mont Anti-Ssloon league, Rev. Clifford
II. Smith of Pittsford, is already re-
ceiving advice from the state press as to
what he should and should not do. Lest
he misunderstood the motive back Of
the suggestions, it should be stated that
the press has the best Of feeling toward
him in his new work and wishes for
him his due measure of success in the
reasonable undertakings which come to
his lot in office Contrary to the opin-
ions of some former occupants of the
position of superintendent, the entire
press of the state is not against the.
holder of the Office. Indeed, we ques-
ton if there is single paper in the state
which holds prejudice against supt.

Would MAKO Them Boom.

The Montpelier Morning Journal is
quite confident that PRECEDENT Mellen
intends to put both Barre and Mont
pelier on the main line to New York
and Boston This will mean, it thinks,
the construction of the cross state line
between Montpelier and Rutland There
Is no question but that the ultimate
settlement of the railroad controversy
between the Grand Trunk and the New
Haven interests is going to mean a
good deal TO Vermont. II now looks
as If the settlement would be made with
out great friction and with no useless
waste of money in building new lines
Il will be great thing for Barre and
Montpelier TO be on "the main line"
and their industries and commercial i'm
portance fully warrant Huntington
Clipper.

Committee Assignments.

Washington, April 12.-Little or no progress along the line of legislation is expected in the senate this wek. The committee on committees claim that it will require all of this week to com plete the committee assignments sat isfactorily to the two factions of their respective parties, for there are pro- gressiyes in the democratic party as well as among the republicans, and they are just about as insistent for what they think is right.
 Representative Map1l, the leader Of the minority in the house, made pub lie his minority assignments at the meeting Of congress yesterday. The Connecticut members were assigned to the same committee places held by them in the last congress- Major Til son is on military affairs and expendi- lures in the state department; MT. Henry, merchant marine and fisheries patents, and eEpeuditures on public buildings; MT. Higgins, on the judi ciary and expenditures in the depart ment of agriculture; MT. TIill on ways and means and expenditures in the treasury department. Mir. Reilly is a member of the majority on coinage weights and measures and postoffices and postroads.
 lt is expected that business will be- gin now in earnest and that one CT two tarin bills will be before the com 1nittee on ways and means before the week is uor.

ARMY CAPTAIN SHOT
 BY NIGHT WATCHMAN
Captain Cook Broke Into Store While
 Under Influence of Drink.

San Francisco. April 12.-As d re- ealt of a fight with John ]. Hayes, an aged night watchman. today. Capt. Frank A. Cook, subsistence officer of the commissary department of the regular army. lies dangerously wound- cd in the Central emergency hospital.
 Cook accompanied by his two sons and daughters, arrived here yester- day from Manila the transport Sheridan. With his family he visited relatives last night. Leaving them at their hotel. he went to another hotel where. according to his story, he had c few drinks Early this morning he broke in the door of a store on Market street and was met by Watchman Hayes. Hayes claims that he struck Cook on the head with his club when the latter refused to leave the place. According 10 Hayes. Cook seized the club and returned the blow. Hayes then fired two shots at the officer, pen- eyating his left lung and barely miss ing his heart. the other going wild.
 Policemen then entered the place and separated the men. Cook was taken to the Central emergency hos pItsI where Dr. G. NJ. Terrill probed for the bullet. While Dr. TerrilI was operating he recognized Cook as a brother officer who served with him fn the campaign against the Apache chief, Geronimo, in Arizona. in 1885. Al that time Cook was a lieutenant of the Fourth cavalry and Terrill was q post surgeon
 When Captain Cook regained con- sciousness he declared that from the time he left the hotel his mind was a blank. and he inquired eagerly for the details of the fight which had led to his wound. He will probably recover.
