that the business men of Putney have
organized a board of trade and pre-
diets large measure of success for

WASHINGTON, d. c., April "a. -
When the political complexion of the
senate changed, placing the Democrats
in the majority and the Republicans
in the minority, all of the committees
of the Senate suffered a shake-up of
such magnitude that it was impossible
for some time to recognize any one of
the great committees by its personnel.
Many Republicans, who previously held
the chairmanships of large committees
and occupied .cOmmodious committee
rooms in the capitol building, have
been relegated to the head of insight
ficant committees, known as minority
committees, and have been compelled
to move to smaller quarters. Yer
mont s Senators suffered with the 9th
ers. Senator Dillingham;, who was
chairman of the committee on priv
leges and elections, is now chairman OF
one of the 20 minority committees
the University of the United States
and Senator Page, formerly chairman
of the committee on Cuban relations
now heads the committee on DISPOSE
/ ton of useless papers in the executive
/ departments. They still retain, how
/ ever, their membership on many i'm
pOrtant committees but they become
minority members instead of majority
Senator Dillingham; is member of the
following committees: Appropriations
audit and control of contingent
expenses of the Senate, District OF
Columbia, expenditures in the depart
ment of the navy, immigration, iudici
airy and privileges and election. Sena
tor Page is a member of the followin:
committees: Agriculture and forestry
education and labor. Indian affairs, in
teroceanic canals, naval affairs ant
printing.

Vermont Democrats will be inter
ested in the following. which appeared
in a recent issue of the Washington
Post: "Thomas H. Browne of Rutland,
Democratic national committeeman for
Vermont, is making no apologies to
his fellow members of the national or
ganization because Vermont failed to
deliver it's electoral vote to President
Wilson. He has been the object of
gOod-natured raillery because Vermont
was one of the two states that went
Republican but he takes the iests of
his fellow members with composure.
- If the Democrats in other states
had made as large gains relatively
as the Democrats of Vermont made in
the September election, there would not
have been a single state carried by
either Progressives or Republicans in
the November election, declared Mr.
Browne at the Shoreham. We increas
ed the Democratic vote in Vermont
fully 25 per cent in September, and il
kept up well in November. l have ne
reason to believe we are going to lost
the recruits we gained, for the farm
ers who make up the bulk of the popu
lation are well satisfied with the course
that is being pursued by President viii
son and the Democrats in Congress.

Efforts are being made by the New
York members of Congress and the
Vermont delegation in Congress to Sc
cure an appropriation for the deepen
ing of the channel of Lake Champlain
to II feet where necessary, from White
hall to Benson, so as to accommodate
the barge canal traffic.
The war department has recommend
ed that the work should be designed
to ut ultimately a project providing
for width of 400 feet, depth of II
feet and no bad curves, but that a 900
foot project with - feet depth is re-
quisite at this time. The estimated
cost will be $737 900. The report of
the war department came too late last
| session to have the item incorporated
In the rivers and harbors bill and it
was hoped that the appropriation might
| be included at this special session of
Congress in the sUndry civil appropria-
| ton bill, which was vetoed by Presi-
| dent Taft last session on the ground
| that it contained a clause which multi
| fed action under the Sherman anti
| trust law as far as labor and farmers
| trusts were concerned. 1t appears
however, that the Democrats. who now
have control of both branches of Con
gress, have seen fit to re-introduce the
| sundry civil Dill Just as 1t was made uT
when vetoed, without amendments OF
any nature, and it is understood to be
their plan not to permit amendments
to be made to this bill either in the
| House or Senate. Should this course
be pursued it is unli kelly that the ap.
preparation can be secured at this ex
traordlnary session of Congress.

1t does not require very extensive
travel around Washington to appreci-
ate the fact that Vermont produces
some things which are everywhere con-
spicuous. On the site next to the

card in front of the building can be
read this sign: "Woodbury Granite

w. D. Hassett, formerly we'll

now a representative of the Associated

party of eight newspaper men to ac-

OF course there was the reverse
quality, and Mr.. Dana did not try
to conceal his antipathies. Some Of
them were as intense as were his
friendly associations. No one was
permitted to speak Ill or even trifiing-
ly of friend of Mr.. Dana without
learning that the great editor was
sure to come stoutly to the defense
of that friend. He understood human
nature well enough to know that
everyone has weaknesses, and the
weaknesses Of his friends were known
to him and often regretted. They,
however, were never made the occa-
sion of any break in his relations.
This staunchness of friendship, as
well as the intensity Of his personal
antagonisns. explained much which

paper seem inexplicable.

and I observed that this was done
so that he might have opportunity
TO detect in the throng on the side
walk of Pennsylvania avenue some
personal friends, or at least might
see in that throng some recognizable
face.
Suddenly he said: "Tell the driver
TO whip up the horses"
The horses started at a lively pace,
and as they did so Mr.. Dana held his

face.
A few moments later he looked out
furtively toward the sidewalk and
then said: 81 saw "So-and-So," men

He would have hailed the cab and

thought to be not only great man,
but a good one"
"Of' such shadows regulations are
often made" Mr.. Dana returned.
A few moments later Mr.. Dana sud
denly cried out: "Stop the carriage.
Tell the driver to draw up TO the
curb"
, As the carriage drew to the curb
Mr.. Dana leaped from it and with
both hands outstretched called a man
who was walking there by his first
name. The man started, turned and
in moment was receiving Mr.. Dana's
most cordial, almost effusive, greet
ings. AS the two men stood there
chatting Mr.. Laffan took heed of the
personal appearance of the stranger.
We noticed that he seemed to be
somewhat poverty-stricken His gar
ments reflected age and constant use.
He wore a rather rustic frock coat
His waistcoat was buttoned awry.
Films of tobacco Juice stuck to the
corners of his lips; but of these things
Mr.. Dana took no heed. The two men
were in earnest conversation for If
teen minutes.
As Mr.. Dana reentered the carriage
he turned and waved his hand TO his
friend, and then said:
81 have not seen that man since
| lived in Washington as assistant
secretary of war. He was of immense
service to me then; he risked his life
more than once, for he was a gov
eminent spy. He brought back to us
from inside the Confederate lines
valuable information. I have never
forgotten him. He seemed to me
somewhat hard up. and he is getting
to be an old man. I must make some
inquiries abut him, for he would tell
me little about himself. He Is too
proud Perhaps l can find a way to
help him"
The pleasure of that meeting with
the old friend completely bridged the
almost immeasurable gulf between
the distinguished senator and the
man who was hanging upon the
fringes of humble Washington life.
