Kx-Senator Bi.aik, of New Hamp shire, Miys in r-gard to trusts: "It is business of the Ilepublican party to invest igate and deal with this new asjiect of our business and national af fairs and find the true solution.' That touches the marrow of the question The Republican party is the only one with the will and ab'.lity to regulate the trusts. Kkikxks of Senator Quay won sweep ing victories at the Ilepublican prima ries and conventions held on Saturday list, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. In the final round-up fur the elec tion of delegates to the Republican State convention, the insurgents are routed in every contest. The votes and resolutions of Saturday were epecially gratifying to the members of the Leg islature who went into the Ilepublican caucus and supported Col. M. S. Quay for the United States Senate to the end of the Hessiou of the Legislature. In Montgomery county the two members of the Legislature, Messrs. Sexton and Montgomery, claiming to Iks Republi cans, bolted the caucus, yet their iusur gent friends were defeated at the pri maries by an overwhelming vote, and Colonel Quay's supporters elect the en tire delegation to the State convention, In Somerset, two members of the House, elected as Republicans, General Koontz and Mr. Kendall, joined the bolters and appealed to Republicans to indorse their action in the election of delegates to t he State eon ven t ion. They were completely repudiated, aud Colo nel Quay's fiieuds carried the eouuty by a large majority. In Clearfield county the two members of the House, Representatives Frank (. Harris and Jseph Alexander were elected as Re publicans. Harris acted with the stal warts and Alexander joined the bolt ers. The course of Mr. Harris has leeu sustained by a big popular vote. In Northampton couuty's Republican con ven lion resolutions were adopted amid great enthusiasm commending the ac tion of the uieoibers of the legislature w ho voted furColouel Quay and approv ing Governor Stone's course in appoint ing the Beaver statesman to the vacan cy in the Senate. Truly, it was a bad day for the iusur pvute. The results of the Republican pii- niarics in Somerset county are just what the Herald predicted thy would be, and w lint anybody who is at all acquainted with the public Be lit i- uieut of the county might have kuowu they would tie so far as the selection of delegates to the State Convention is concerned. There was no excuse for misunderstanding the situation, for the issues were plain. Last spriug the Re publican voters of the county honored V. H. Koontz and S. A. Kendall with their confidence and support, and in November elected them to represent them in the State Legislature. 1 nstead of obeying the wishes and instructions of their constituents aud voting with the majority of their party on party measures, Messrs. Koontz and Kendall saw fit to betray the confidence of the people who elected them, joiued the freebootiug expedition under Sena tors Fiinn aud Martin, aud planted themselves squarely in opposition to the great Republican principle of ma jority rule. In defense of their trea sonable conduct they Iw.-ldly announced that the sentiment of their constituents was so strongly against Senator Q iay that they dared not vote for him, al though he was the party's nominee, and they asked to be sustained in this position by the Republicans of the county at Saturday's primary. They each placed a personal representative on the ticket for delegates, D. J. Hor ner representing Mr. Koontz, and J. R. Boose Mr. Kendall. The candidates of the people who believe that nomina tions nominate, that caucus obligations are binding, that party organization must be maintained and that the min ority must not be allowed to dictate to l he majority, were Edward Hoover and Frederick Rowe. The dLcuKu was full aud free, and the people decided the ecu test according to their own no tinus, and in a most satisfactory man ner. And what is the result? Hoover aud Rowe elected by overwhelming majorities; Representative Koontz re pudiated in his two home precincts by over S00 majority, and Kendall in his by over 300. It is apparent from the result tbat these estimable gentlemen were utterly mistaken in their estimate of the Republican sentiment of the county when they undertook to say that it was anti-Quay, and that it would sustain open party treason and opposi tion to majority rule. The people have fqioken, aud they have shown R pre ventatives Koontz and Keudall jut w hat they think of their course. L'tr terly repudiated at their own homes aud throughout the county, their hu miliation i great indeed. The Republi cans of Somerset county are firm be lievers in the principles of their party, and when their servants refuse to obey their wishes or betray their confidence, they do not hesitate to administer de served censure and rebuke. The peo ple have spoken iu no uncertain way, and the verdict must be highly pleas ing to every sincere Republican in the county. The county ticket nominated Is an exceptionally strong and good one. and j the lesson taught by the nomination ol a very large majority of the candidates ou it should prove salutary and lasting. The people have said once more through their ballots that uo man or set of men. bv "cuuiiiariiig notes," or otherwise, can take from them their choice of can didates and dictate a ticket for them to so pporL Another Jeesou taught by Sat urday's primary is that the love of jus tice and fair play still remains strong among our jieople, and that those who resort to personal abuse of candidaLea and their friends and endeavor to en compass their defeat by circulating un truthful and slanderous tori-3 in the last days of a campaign only succeed in bringing the wrath of the people upon their heada. The bitter animosi ties, foolishly engendered during the campaign, should be forgotten; victors can aflord to be magnanimous, and the entire Republican vote of the county should be given the ticket nominated Saturday, as well as that to be nomina ted by the State Convention in August, at the election in November. A Bag that Bitei Lips. Washington. D. O, June 2L An en tomological mystery is puzzling the city, and the identity of the bug which is devastating the beauty of Washington faces is being sought eagerly- The new bug was first heard from a few days ago, m Leu a newsdealer applied at a hospital for treatment, his face so swollen tbat bis nearest frieuds did not recognize him. Since then a dozen similar cases have been treated. None of the victims saw the insect, because the attack is always made when tbe person is asleep. The lips seem to be the favorite point of attack. The vic tim wakes up in the dead of night, suf fering the most intense pain iu the face, and funis bis lips and oilier features putfed up to an enormous size. Tbe swelling U a bright red, and lasts from forty-eight to seveuly-two hours, ai-eninpauied by almost constant pain. KutoiKologista at the Agricultural De partment are auxious to secure one of the bugs. Foil Freedom Aiked for a Defaulter. New York, June 22.

"That looks like my sister," was the exclamation of M iss M irgaret Allen, 17 years old, of this place, as she was looking through an al bum while visiting a friend iu New -field last Sunday. This remark led Ui an in vestigation, which united two sisters who had not seen each other for years, although they had lived but three miles apart. Twelve years ago James Allen, of Lew- iston. Pa., died and left six girls and two boys. Relatives and friends provided for the cbildreu, and all were separated. Two were adopted in wealthy families in Philadelphia, and one.

By aid of Mrs. Parks, evi dence of relationship was established aud the sisters were united. To Perpetuate Grand army. St. Lt.iis, June 22.

IT MAT BE A MTJEDEE. Former Keyertdaie Police Officer Reported to Have Been Mortally Wounded. Mrs. Gertrude Kemp Is said to have shot and fatally wounded her supposed lover, Lupton Frautx, of New Haven, Fayette county, formerly a policeman of Meyersdale, at her home about a quarter of a mile from Scottdale, on Sunday even ing, lSlh insL Lipton now lies in a dying condition at tbe scene of the shooting. Tbe relations of the couple have been strained for several weeks, and Mrs. Kemp had brought several suits against her paramour for alleged ill treatment while under the influence of drink. On Sunday afternoon Frantz was seen in Scottdale in a more drunkeu condition than usual. It is supposed that he went to Mrs. Kemp's bouse about five o'clock. How tbe aflray was incited is not knowu, but in the early evening physicians were summoned, who, upon examination, found tbat Frentz bad been shot in tbe stomach and left thigh. Tbe wound in the stomach is considered by tbe physi cians, lira. Weddel aud Silsley, as fatal. Several of the intestines have been sever ed and It is found that a more vital organ has beeu penetrated. Both Mrs. Kemp and tbe man bear an unsavory reputation in the vicinity of, Scottdale. Mrs. Kemp has been twice married, her name by her first marriage having been Goldsborough. Her wedded life, however, has been short in both in stances. Frantz about lour years ago was charge-? with murder before the Fayette county courts but was acquitted ou a plea of self defense. Since that time he has lived a rambling existence, a large por tion of it Ix-ing spent near Scottdale at the bouse of Mrs. Kemp. Rebel Congrets Gave Argnellee Twelve Tear in Prlaoa. Manila. June 22. 7:.'X) p. in. Details of the sentencing of t'olonel Arguelles one of tbe Filipino peace commissioners, to twelve years' imprisonment show that tbe charge against him was that in con versation with Filipino officers he pre dicted that d'sorders within the insurgent territory would lead to civil war, and, therefore, he considered autonomy under tbe Americans preferable to independ ence. The Filipino congress tried him on tbe charge of treason, and a healed de bate over autonomy followed. Finally tbe colonel was sentenced to death, but this was commuted to twelve years' im prisonment on account of his previous services to the cause, after an eloquent plea on the part of bis couusL Colonel Arguelles is one of tbe most conservative and respecter! men connected with the insurrection. The relel8 have learned that the Amer ican volunteers are returning to the Uni ted States, aud the Filipino newspapers construe this to mean that the Americans are abandoning the war, and tbey are en couraged thereby. The outposts of tbe Washington regiment yesterday captured General Del Pilar's brass band of eighty two pieces, the members of which became separated from tbe rebel army and came near the American lines without having the means of resistance. Some China men of Manila have filed a claim against tbe instruments, which were leased by tbe musicians. Caring the Lame by Faith.

Murdered ia a Bank. Wichita, Kan., June 21. When tbe body of Bell Slavin, stenographer and typewriter, was found at 2 o'clock last Thursday morning in the office of tbe National Bank of Commerce, death hav ing resulted from a bullet wound in the head, it was supposed tbat she bad com mitted suicide. Later developments in dicate tbat she was murdered. M r. Jo ben, president of tbe bank, states that on Wednesday afternoon a strange man came to the bank and asked to have some work done. Miss Slavin told bim to bring it around after 6 o'clock. A barber who passed tbe bank at 8 o'clock saw Misa Slavin standing before the window, apparently waiting for someone. Another person heard a pistol shot just after 8 o'clock. When Miss Slavin'a father and tbe president of tbe bank went to tbe bank in search of .her, they found tbe bank door unlocked, papers scattered around the floor, tbe contents of several drawers disarranged aud Miss Slavin's keys missing. The revolver found by her side was not her own. Her weapon was found in a drawer.

TDI5K THEY MIGHT AID BETAS. Republican Iosnre-nts Who Are Dis heartened Over the Fact Continue to Be severely Trouuced by the Stal warts In T&etr Own Party. (Special Correspondence ) Philadelphia, June 2" Pennsylva nia's Democracy Is in a very had way. For every Republican insurgent the Democratic leaders expected to vote for their candidate for state treasurer they now Cud there will be at least ten Democrats, of the sound money wing of their party, who will not vote the Democratic state ticket. Tbe action of the Democratic state convention in adopting a Bryan'te platform and naming a Bryan ticket to run upon it was bad enough, but to have tbe county organizations go on record in the most blatant fashion in favor of the Chicago platform is too much for the sound money Demo crats of Pennsylvania. The sound money Democrats were greatly disappointed over the action of the state convention. They had been given to understand that tike coming state campaiiai was to le run upon purely state issues. This was the prom ise given the Republican Insurgents upon whom ' the Repnblican leader counted to help their candidate for state treasurer. The free sllveiite3 were too strong for Colonel Guffey at Harristiurg. and they insisted upon des ignating William Jennings Bryan as "our matchless leader" in the Demo cratic state platform. SOUND MONEY MEN CONFER. Not only did they do this, but they knocked out Gufleys first choice for supreme Judge. Hon. Harman Yerkes, of Bucks, solely because he was a sound money Democrat, and nominated in his stead Judge Mestrezat. of Fay ette, about whose loyalty to the Biyan ite ticket of 1SSI6 there was no ques tion. The action of John Cadwalader, Jr.. of this city, bolting the fetate con vention because of the eulogy of Bryan in the platform, simply gave expres sion to the sentiment of a large num ber of delegates in the state conven tion, who. by reason of the fact that they went there to bring about tha nomination of certain candidates .for the supreme bench, were prevented from following his example and en tcriug an emphatic protest against this indorsement of the free silver cham pion. There was no disguising their iha&riu and moi tification over the vic tory ot the silverites. This feeling was freely expressed after the con vention adjourned. There have been several informal conferences since then of leading sound luouey Democrats, who have been considering the best course to pursue under the circumstances. There has been a suggestion that the best way to expiess disapproval of the policy cf the present leadership of the party In the state would be by the nomination of an independent ticket, which would give the sound money Democrats an opportunity to place themselves on record as opposed to the Bryan platform and the Bryan ticket of the recent state convention. There has been opposition to this from some of the conservative gold men. who fear that the- result at the elec tion nii?ht not fully express the senti ment of the sound money Democrats. The nomination of an independent ticket, it ia argued, might result in cany Democrats voting for the nomi nees of the Republican convention. Just as they did In Ce last presidential campaign, and the smallness cf tin vote for the sound money Democratic candidate would then give encourage ment to the silverites and make them more bold and aggressive by the tim the state convention, shall be" held to select the delegates to tbe national Democratic convention. The gold men In the minority party are certainly in a quandary. Supplementing the action of the state convention, the Democratic coun ty organizations are now falling ia line with a reaffirmation of the silver craze. The Clarion county Democratic convention not only went on record for Bryan, but Indorsed the whole Chi cago platform, and seemed to glory in the fact. Other counties will no doubt follow suit, and the grave question that confronts the sound money Democrat, is, "What am I going to do about it?" There is no doubt that they will generally vote the Republican ticket as a rebuke to the present party lead ership and In the hope of halting the national Democracy in the manifest purpose to renominate Bryan aud re affirm the Chicago platform. REPUBLICAN INSURGENTS RE BUKED. While the Republican insurgents are greatly discouraged over the fact thai the free silverites have assumed con trol of the Democracy, they are also chagrined because of the action of tbe stalwart Republicans in keeping up a succession of victories over the parly wreckers and caucus bolters. Saturday last was a field day for the regular Republicans. Northamp ton led off with a great county con vention, in which the sympathizer of the Insurgents did not have a cor poral's guard present. General Frank Reedor, whose fiiends were in absolute control of the convention, presided. He made a rattling speech. A committee on resolutions, with ex Assemblyman Charles F. Chidsey as chairman, reported the following, which were unanimously adopted: "The Republicans of Northampton county ratify and reaffirm the princl riples and policy of the Republican party as declared at St. Louis, and heartily Indorse the wise and states manlike administration of President McKin'ey. "We tender our sincere congratula tions to the Hon. M. S. Quay on his triumphant acquittal of tbe false and malignant charges brought against him by hostile partisan conspirators. "We strongly condemn the cowardly and malicious spirit which actuated and Inspired the scheme of prostitut ing the criminal courts by their em ployment In the unworthy prosecution of an Innocent person, merely to serve personal hatred and gratify disappoint ed ambition. "We condemn the course of those members of the legislature who, al though claiming to be Republicans, re fuse to abide by the action of their party caucus, and In violation of their duty to their party and their obliga tions to their constituents, colluded with the Democratic party to defeat the will of the people and prevent the election of a United States senator. . "We commend the wise, careful and stateraanlike administration of Gov ernor William A. Stone, and particu larly his open and manly action In ap pointing Colonel M. S. Quay United States senator from the state of Penn sylvania. "We denounce the cowards and traitors in county and state who, after taking part In Republican conventions, by deceit, trickery, falsehood and fraud attempt to accomplish the de feat of th? party nominees at the polls, and it Is the sense of this convention that Furh masqueraders should be de barred from taking part in the delib erations of the party which they ate ever ready to betray."
