Never before. it is claimed, has =
Governor of Maine vetoed a resolv,
or resolves to which he had no OBJ
lection. So far as the force of resolves
is concerned, it was asserted by ex-
perienced legislators that they become
laws upon their passage. So far as
the necessity Of any legislature action
is involved, subject, of course, to the
provisions Of the referendum as to the
time Of their taking effect, and that
Gent to prove the force of the resolve
as finally passed, requiring as it did
the veto of the Governor to stall It.
All resolves so passed are always in
cluded in the general appropriations
bill which is sort of legislative sum-
mary of all appropriations drafted for
the purpose Of raising the funds which
will be required from the treasurer
upon warrants drawn by authority Of
the various resolves. Such is the sys-
tenn that has been in vogue; no one
understands just what sort Of a sys-
TEN Governor Curtis now proposes.

Irish coast and st. David's Head on

areas of this channel have been closed

that all traffic wishing to proceed
through the North channel must pass

The Tenth Army

The Russians, composing the Tenth
Army, were under the Command Of Gen
eral Sievers. 1t is true that this COM
mander, by a skilful use Of the rail-
roads at his disposal and by the sac
rifice at times of entire battalons, in
order to bring off a few guns, sue
ceeded in saving a greater part of his
artillery, out no fewer than 10000 Of
his 10000 men are already counted
among the German prisoners, while
his killed and wounded in the four
days battle with which these opera
lions were inaugurated, and the sub
sequent running fights are estimated
at 10000 men.
10000 Surrounded
On the streets Of Suwalki there
could be heard yesterday and today
the sound of artillery from a swampy
olated Russian division, perhaps 10000
men strong has been completely sur
rounded but is still offering resistance.
Several thousand more Russians prob
ably still remain in small scattered
bands or are wandering as stragglers
within the ring which the Germans
have now closed around the woods and
swamps between Suwalki, Augustowo
and the German frontier but the cap
ture of these wanderers and the lated
division is expected here and is re-
carded as merely an incident IN a
campaign to which this great success
is called only the prelude 1t IS not
believed among German military
men at Suwoalki that Gen. Sewers
will be able to bring one fifth of his
troops safely behind the fortress at
Grodno-a safety which may not be OF
long duration.
