NEW YORK. Sept. 23.-Leaders of the democratic and the progressiv. party were enthusiastic yesterday over the result of the Vermont cleo tion. Senator O'Gorman. at demo- cratic national headquarters was the most enthusiastic and predicted that If the same conditions prevail in each state in the country November ,. every one of the 532 votes in the cleo toral college would be for Wilson and Marshall.
 Charles n. Hilles. chairman of the republican national committed. re- fused to discuss the Vermont returns.
 George ". Perkins said: "vermon, shows that the fight is between Col onel Roosevelt and Governor Wilson. The result in Vermont is a great tri- umph for the new party. In a rock ribbed state election a party not yet officially four weeks old in a cam paign of between two and three weeks. fighting against two parties sf which Is more than half a century old boiled approximately so per cent as many votes as one party and s5 per cent as many votes us the other par ty.
 I notice that Frank r.. Howe. of Bennington. regular republican can diddte for lieutenant governor said: Roosevelt has more than a fighting chance in November to carry the state I quite agree with NIT. Howe"
 Chairman Barnes was invisible. No stand-pat republican would discuss Vermont. Democrats and Bull Mooses were equally elated over it.

INDIAN LANDMARK PASSES.
Railroads Cut Down Bluff Containing
Carvers Cave in St. Paul.

St. Paul, June Is. Special to the
Pioneer.Far above the banks Of
the Mississippi where the river makes
q great curve below St. Paul, is one
of the historic spots Of the North
west. Among the early settlers OF
the vast territory which stretches
from Lake Michigan to the Pacific
Ocean few spots are known more
widely than Carvers Cave.
This natural hole in the face Of
the sand stone cliff for years mad
been used as a meeting place Of the
Indians. Here Captain Jonathan
Carver was entertained by the Dako-
ia Indians, in November, 1867, one
Of the first white men in what is now
Minnesota. He found the cave large
opening some distance above the wa
ter, and in the midst of the cave was
a lake described as of considerable
size. 1t was here the Indians met
for council and here the Great Spir-
it was supposed to dwell. On the
top of the bluff overlooking a wide
expanse of the valley Of the river was
the burial place of the Indians.
When Carver visited what is now
st. Paul the cave was eleven feet
high and thirty feet broad, and with
amazing depth. The walls were dec
Grated with the rude carvings OF the
Indians and the water in the lake
was clear as crystal.
On May l, 1867, the Minnesota
State Historical society celebrated
the one hundredth anniversary Of the
council and treaty which Captain
Carver made with the Indians. by
holding a meeting in the great cave,
which they found much as Captain
Carver described in early histories of
the northwest section Of the United
States. They determined to plan for
| meeting in 1867 for their descen-
dants in the same place.
But before another century had
we'll started the railways with ruth
less hands had torn down the side of
the cliff for additional ground on
| which to enter the city. The growth.
| of the railway business, which is
among the largest for any city of the
country, continued to demand more
| room, until the cave and the lake
within it have been cut away. All
that remains is the end of the cave
used as spot for Boy Scouts to visit.
