' THE BANQUET.
Eloquent Speakers Kntertain ladies urn!
Knight in Evening.
The annual gathering of the state coun
cil concluded at K. of 1. hall last eveuing
with a banquet, to which about 12.5 sat
down, including among the guests Hon.
Felix W. MetieUriek of St. Albans,
Thomas Magner of Burlington, Kev. W.
J. O'Sullivan of Montpelier and Kev. 1.
M. McKenna of Bane.
The banquet was served by K. W.
Morse of the City Hotel. While the vi
ands were being partaken of Wilder' Or
chestra of Montpelier rendered several se
lections that highly enhanced the enjoy
ment of the occasion, and during the after
dinner exercises a cornet solo was render
ed by Mr. Forsoll, and a flute solo by Mr.
Wilder.
It was 10 o'clock when D. M. Miles,
toastinaster for the eveuing, read greet
ln3 from the state secretaries of Massa
ehusetts, New Hampshire and New Y'orK.
la introducing the first speaker Mr. Miles
said, "We honor the delegates as repre
sentatives of their towns and cities, we
honor them with the presence of our la
dles, aud we honor them with the speaker
we present to welcome them tonight, Kev.
P. M. McKenna, our pastor."
Kev. P. M. McKenna said it was not an
easy thing for him 10 express the high es
teem and hearty welcome the Barre
Knigh's extend to the visiting delegates.
Hun. Felix W. McGettrick of St. Al
bans,' state deputy, was the next speaker,
whose subject was, "Our Order." la be
ginning Mr. McGettrick very feeling ex
pressed his gratification and the gratifica
tion of all the delegates at their welcome
and entertainment. He said the object of
the order was the building up of its peo
ple, lie paid a glowing tribute to the
work of the Catholic clergy and urged the
hearty support of their efforts by the mem
bers of the order. In referring to the
schools of the chnrch, he said he was pie
pared to state from personal investigations
that the parochial schools of Vermont
compared very favorably with the publio
schools of the state. He believed the safe
ty of the country and the continuance of
its liberties lies in the iiotnan Catholic
church. He said the mission of the
Knights of Columbus was the aid and sup
port of the church, and the making of good
and better citizens of the country.
Thomas Magner, grand knight of the
Burlington council, spoke for the ladies.
Kev. W. J. O'Sullivan of Montpelier,
spoke In a somewhat reminiscent strain
of the growth of Catholicism in Barre and
Montpelier, and in referring to the latter
city said the mayor, president of the
council and grand juror were all members
of the order.
Mr. O'Sullivan further said that he re
gretted that no Catholic organization has
thus far protested against the American
soldier in American uniform who struck
down and murdered a Catholic priest in
the Philippines, contrary to all rules of
war, humauity aud of reverence. He
wished to enter his protest against the as
sassin. We have no words strong enough
to condemn the foul murder of a servant
of God by a man who is not worthy the
name of soldier or that of a citizen of Ver
mont. Rev. Mr. O'Sullivan stated that he
referred to Captain Brownell of Burling
ton. William Theriault of Montpelier rer
sponded to the toast "Our Patron."
Kev. Fr. Hickey was the closing speak
er of the evening, who concluded by sing
ing "Dear Old Ireland."
A fter the song by Fr. Hickey, Hon. F.
W. McGettrick arose to explain why he, as
head of the Knights of Columbus, had not
officially protested the action of Capt.
Brownell. Personally he said nothing in
his memory had made his blood boil so as
had this outrage. He further said that in
addition to what has come from our Sena
torMr. Proctor that Captain Brownell
killed this priest in cold blood because he
would not reveal his priestly secrets or
give up his money, when the charges
were made to the government, Capt.
Brownell came forward and gave up the
money so illy gotten. The government
has done everything 1ft its power to cover
up this outrage, and Senator Troctor says
he is the best type of an American sol
dier. But as an American who has worn
the uniform he asserted that no brave and
patriotic soldier ever descended to the
murdering of an innocent priest.
COLLISION IN MID OCEAN.
Twenty or Mure People Drowned From
Saginaw,
Norfolk, Va., May 5. A collision at sea
that cost the lives of twenty or more peo
ple and the sinking of the Clyde steam
ship Saginuw by the old Dominion steam
ship company's liner, Hamilton, occur
red between W I. iter quarter lightship and
Fenwlck Island lightship on the Virginia
coast at 4. 40 o'clock thig morning. The
Hamilton left New York yesterday after
noon at 3 o'clock for Norfolk and the Sag
inaw passed out the Virginia Capes at 0
o'clock last night, bound from Kichmond
and Norfolk for Philadelphia. A dense
fog settled along the coast shortly after
nightfall and while going through this fog
at reduced speed the Hamilton crashed
Into the Saginaw's side about twenty feet
from the stern.
The Saginaw veered, as did the Hamil
ton, but they had not time to clear each
other and the knife-like steel prow of the
south bound vessel struck the Clyde ship
on the port quarter about twenty feet
from her stern, cutting the entire rear of
the ship away. The tnrushiug water
caused the Saginaw to settle-rapidly to
the stern and the impetus of the Hamil
ton took her out of sight of the crippled
vessel.
When the Saginaw was again sighted
he stern was uuder water and her bow
high in the air. Panic stricken people
rushed over her decks aud scrambled t
ward the bow. Life boats were lowered
and In the .first, 15 colored women w ere
placed, according to Second Officer Morris,
who was in command. The boat was
swamped as it struck the water and its oc
cupants were thrown into the sea. All
were drowned except the second ollicer
and the colored stewardess and she died
before the small bnat reached the Hamil
ton, more from Injuries received by the
impact of the collision than by drowning.
She bad been held up by First Mate Goa
lee, who sank himself as the small boat
from the Hamilton reached them.

Victoria, B. C, May 6. According to
advices by the Bteamer Olyrnpia from
Yokohama the Inoniluri of Tokyo states
that in Newchwang, Port Arthur, Ta-
Henwan and neighboring localities a
collision between Japan and Russia la
considered inevitable and that the
opening of hostilities U expected at any
moment
The Ilochl publishes the significant
report that certain Japanese generals
have caused a notice to be Issued to the
reserves to be ready for mobilizing.
The Asht says that Japanese and
British war ships have also been di
patched to the Y'alu river. The Rus
sian troops In Manchuria have been ln
creased by an additional force, which
has been sent out ou the pretest of re
placing other troops.
Japanese papers also say that a state
of siege has been declared by the Rus
sian authorities at Tallen, Kinchow
and thence to the Yalu river. Military
maneuvers ore taking place, Involving
much tent and field work. The Rus
sians assert that the movement Is at
tributable to the strained relations be
tween Russia and Japan,
The Japan Herald has a dispatch
from Port Arthur that Russian troops
have been dispatched to Amokgang, in
Korea, and a Japanese vernacular pa
per says Japanese Avar ships have gone

lilneae Removing Valuable.
Chinese arc hurrying from New
chwang in alarm because of the dis
patch of Japanese and British war
ships, in consequence of the nonevac
uation of Newchwang by the Rus
sians. Residents of the Chinese port
are hurrying their valuables to Tien
tsin, Chefu and Shanghai.
The general feeling prevailing in
Japan is shown by the large number of
mass meetings being held. Professor
Tomidisu of the Imperial university at
a largely attended Yokohama meeting
was loudly applauded when he declar
ed that the Manchurian problem could
be solved by no other means than war.
Ho said that despite the talk of pub
licists Japanese military and naval
forces were ready for the encounter.
Finance Avas not a stumbling block,
and If Japan bad a famine in the north
west Russia Avas also troubled by fail
ure of crops along the Amur. He held
that If Japan failed to make itself felt
China and Korea would throw in their
lot with Russia. The Japan war office
took exception to these plain state
ments and demanded the punishment
of the professor, but nothing Avas done.

Toronto Globe waks of the Order' Work
for 11103.
' The figures of the operations of the In
dependent Order of Foresters for 1902
have been issued. They show that the in
stitution is gaining not only very rapidly
In numerical strength, but in the actual
accumulation of assets. The first set of
figures show the actual net increase in
membership during the year 1S02 to have
been 13,283. That is to say, after all
lapses, deaths, etc., have been deducted,
the year 1002 closed with over 13,000 more
alive, active members In the order than
were in it at the close of 1001. The num
ber of new members initiated in 1001 was
over 10O per month greater than the num
ber initiated during 1001.
The death rate during 1902 in the Order
is given as H:00 per thousand, or a frac
tion less than the year before, a rate much
below that of most of the life insurance
companies. The average age of the mem
bership Is a little over thirty-six 3'ears.
The Supreme Executive say that they re
ject a larger percentage upon the medical
test than any other society or company
and that this accounts for the small death
rate.
The accumulated funds increased dur
ing luOi by fl)57,2.0..C5 almost $1,000,
000. While these figures indicate a bet
terment in assets of 18.11) per cent, the in
crease in assurance at risk during the
year was only 4.52 per cent. Relatively,
therefore, the policyholders were In a bet
ter position at the close of the year than
they were when the year began. The in
crease in the premium income of the Or
der in 1002 over l'JOl was 8.37 per cent.,
while the demands upon that income for
the purpose of meeting claims was only 1
per cent, greater In 1001 than in 1002."

land Avenue Fire Caused by
Boy Playing With Matcnes.
A tire starting In the barn at E. M. Ly
on's place on Highland Avenue this fore
noon about 11 o'clock destroyed the barn,
a part of the house, two horses, two ex
press wagons, and the greater part of the
furniture of two families in the Lyon
house. The fire also communicated to the
house of Edwin Carleton oh the same
street and did some damage to the exteri
or of that.
In the Lyons' barn were two valuable
horses and they were burned to death. In
the basement were three sows, one with
a litter of eight four-day's old pigs. They
were all rescued after the fire was uuder

In Mrs. Lyon's face and burned her face
and hair. She ran out to a neighbors and
asked them to send in an alarm, but II. J.
Collnirn, working on the Gates house, had
seen it and rung in an alarm almost as
soon as Mrs. Lyon discovered it. The de
partment made very quick time up Wash
ington street and Highland Avenue, but
the barn was one big blaze on its arrival
and the fire had communicated to the
house and also to Edwin Caileton's house
several rods away
A stream quickly put out the fire on the
latter and another checked its progress in
the Lyon honse. The firemen worked
with good judgment and quickly had it
under control. The front part of the Ly
ons house was damaged only by water, so
quickly and effectively did the department
work.

The origiu of the fire is supposed to
have beeu caused by a child playing with
matches in the barn.

Local agents of the Central Vermont
and Montpelier & Wells liiver railroads
have been notified that the embargo
on freight at New York has beeu raised
and that freight for points beyond that
port will be received as usual.
The embargo was caused by a strike of
the engineer on the ferryboats. Had the
embargo continued it would have been a
great lucouvenience to Barre manufactur
ers who ship granite through the port of
New York to points beyond.
The local railroad agents have been also
notified that there is an embargo on at'
Montreal, but this is of lesser importance.
It covers merely freight going to Montreal
and freight which is to be exported from
