Montpelier, Vt., Aug. 24.-The Ver- mont legislature met in special ses- sion today. The legislators were called together by Governor Gates for the purpose of taking some action to provide for the support of depend- ents of members of the national guard on duty on the border. Some of the mem bers were of the opinion that there might be prolonged discussion of the details of the proposed relief measures
 Governor Gates in message to the joint assemblies suggested the pro- priety of appropriating money for SOL diers' pay and relief.
 Three bills drafted by the commit tee on naval affairs, were presented in the house. The first provided for the regular pay of the officers and members of the militia while in serv- ice, with an allowance of ten cents a mile for travelling expenses. Another made provision for paying the sol- diers $10 a month in addition to their federal pay, the appropriations for this purpose not to exceed $85,O00.
 Contributions to the support of the dependents of soldiers, based upon the plan followed by the Canadian gov- ernment, and amounting to $1O a month for each dependent, was pro- vided in a third message.
