The Safe Course.
Whatever the sentiments of the
Democratic people of the county may
be as to the desirability of a change in
the time of holding their county con-
vention, there can be no doubt as to
the views of some of the would-be par-
ty-leaders about this place upon the.
subject. Last year a resolution was
offered suggesting a change from Aug:
ust to June, but by the terms of the
resolution the matter was left to be rat-
ified by a mass convention, before be-
coming operative. For some reason or
other, the chairman failed to call a
meeting to ratify, and the suggestion,
made by the resolution, dropped with-
out further recognition. In the pro-
ceedings of the convention of the’ 8th
inst. a resolution of similar import was
passed, except that the last one does
not provide for any ratification, the
resolution itself being recognized by
those securing its adoption, as a rule of
the party.
When the former resolution
pasced, the WATCHMAN gave its views
very explicitly upon the subject of
lengthening the campaign in this
county. It was opposed to it then ; it
can see no reason now why it should
be done. But it is not to this part of
the resolution it proposes to speak ; it
is the assumption that a simple resolu-
tion of one convention can make a law
for the party that it desires to call at-
tention to.
Heretofore when rules governing the
action of the party and its convention
were to be made, they were suggested
by one convention and then a mass
meeting, or convention, called expressly
to consider the necessity of their adop-
tion, was convened to reject or ratify
as the party at large directed. Every
Democrat in the county was given an
opportuuity to express his viewsasto the
change suggested ; every voter who de-
sired, had a voice in the matter and as
a result whatever rules were adopted
were accepted, and honored, because
the wishes of the party at large was
recognized and respected in their
adoption.
The attempt to make a resclution of
a convention a rule for the party, chan-
ges all this. It recognizes the power
of afew men chosen for an entirely
different purpose, to alter or abolish
any or all of the party rules at any
time their whims may dictate, or pur-
poses require. If the last convention
can, by resolution, change the time of
holding future conventions without
submitting that action to the Demo-
crats of the county for ratification or
rejection, the next one that meets can,
in a similar manner, change any other
rule, and the consequent result mus. be
that we have practically no rules at all,
each convention having within itselt
“the power to make such rules as will
suit the wishes or aims of its members.
To admit that the convention of '93
can change the rule fixing the time of
meetings for future conventions, is
to admit that the convention of 94 can
change the one requiring delegates to
carry out their instructions, or the one
giving each township representation
according to its Democratic vote.
Surely there ia no Democrat who after
reasoning this matter over will insist
that the party should be put at such
loose ends, as this position would place
it, and yet without submitting this last
resolution to the Democratic voters of
the county in mass-meeting assembled,
to accept or reject as they deem prop-
er, is to make a precedent for every
convention that meets to juggle with
the rules just as the prejudices, whims,
or purposes of its members dictate.
was
In the interest of the future harmony
and welfare of the party, we appeal to
the chairman of the county committee
to follow the precedents that have long
been established and recognized in the
adoption of rules for the party, in or-
der that future disputes and perhaps
party disorganization may be avoided.
Let ue have a meeting called to rati-
fy or reject all proposed ‘amendments
to the rules, and whatever may be the
result, the Democrats of the county
will cheerfully abide by them. It is
the only safe course. he

HarrisBUrG, Aug. 15.—Governor
Pattison issued a proclamation to-night
as follows :
“WHEREAS, By invitation of the
government of the United States, the
nations of all the world are represented
in the Columbian exposition, now as-
gembled in the city of Chicago, where
has been erected the most magnificent

“WaurRreas, The great common-

none in all the elements that make a
mighty state, is represented in this
magnificent celebration of our
country’s discovery and its history by a
fit and imposing exhibition of its mines
and its mills, its transportation and
commercial interests, the products of
its fields, its forests, its oil wells and
its workshops, by the splerdid show-
ing of its advanced educational institu-

combining to elevate our citizenship
and to ennoble our statehood ; and
“WHEREAS, Pennsylvania has con-
tributed tens of thousands to the citi-

that day imposing and significant.
“Now, therefore, I, Robert E. Patti-

Won’t Work on Farms.
Harvests May Rot, Though the Country Is
Overun by the Unemployed.
St. Pav, Aug. 14.—(Special.) Far-
mers in the Northwest are actively
engaged in harvesting. They are find-
ing a great deal of difficulty in securing
sufficient help to gather the grain.
The country in this section is overrun
with tramps and unemployed people,
and it was expected that the unemploy-
ed would accept the positions with the
farmers, but they refuse to do so,
saying the wages are too low. Fears
are entertained that unless the harvest
excursions change the situation, the
farmers will be unable to take care of
their crops property.
A special from Hallock, Minn,
outlines the situation: The acreage
of grain in this country is larger than
ever before and the crops are fine, but
unless the farmers obtain more help a
great deal will be lost. Big wages are
offered, but one-tenth the number of
workingmen necessary to harvest the
crops are to be found.
Four Notable Bills Introduced.
WasHINGTON, August 14. — Four
notable bills were introduced in the
senate to-day as follows :
Mr. Hill, of New York, offered a
very brief bill repealing federal election
laws ; the repeal, however, not to
effect any proceedings or prosecution
now pending under said act.
Senator Butler introduced a bill
repealing the state bank tax.
Mr. Peffer, of Kansas, introduced a
bill providing further issue of $300,
000,000 of fiat money, exchangeable
for government bonds at par.
Senator Chandler reintroduced his
bill of last congress establishing addi-
tional regulations concerning immigra.
“tion to the United States.

Decision of Arbitrators.
The United States Has No Exclusive Rights
Over Behring Sea. The American Members of
the Court of Arbitration Are Satisfied With
the Finding of the Commission— Pelagic Seal-
ing Will be Practically Ended—In Future Seal
Life Will be Protected in Virtue of an Inter-
national Agreement.
Paris, Aug. 15—The Behring sea
court of arbitration has rendered its
decision ; five points of article six are
| decided against the United States. The
American members of the court of
arbitration express their satisfaction
with the finding of the commission.
The American arbitrators believed
that the regulations decided upon by
the tribunal mean, practically the end
of pelagic sealing, and that these are
better terms than were heretofore
offered to the United States by Great
Britain as a settlement of the question
involved.
ARTICLE SIX DECIDED AGAINST THE UNIT-
ED STATES—SUBSTANCE OF THE DECISION.
WasHINGTON, Aug. 15—Secretary
Gresham’s first definite information
concerning the decision handed down
to-day came to him early this morning
in a cabel message from Hon. John
W. Foster, ex-secretary of state and
agent for the United States in the
arbitration. At the time Mr. Foster's
dispatch was sent the decision had not
been made, but Mr, Foster stated that
he had been given to understand that
article six had been decided against the
United States, and also told of other
points decided. ,
Later a confirmatory dispatch was
received from Mr. Foster, and its
contents and that of the foregoing one
are contained in the following state
ment given out by the state department
as the text of both messages: ‘The
decision of the arbitrators was announc-
ed to-day. Article six is decided
against the United States. Regulations,
which are to be submitted for exam-
ination every five years for such modi-
fications as experience shows necessary,
provide for close season both in the
Pacific ocean and Behring sea, May 5
to July 31; establish protected zone
extending sixty miles around the
islands ; allow sealing to be carried on
outside the zone in Behring sea from
Aug. 1, but prohibit the use of steam
vessels, fire arms or nets, and require
that expert sealers be employed ;
government recomends the absolute
suspension of sealing for three years.
Secretary Gresham was asked to
give an expression of opinion of the
decision, but this he declined to do,
holding that it would not be proper
for him to comment on the matter.
Mr. Gresham communicated the news
to President Cleveland, at Gray Gables,
and also had along conference with
Secretary Carlisle, presumably with
reference to future action concerning
the maintenance of a fleet in Behring
sea. At present the United States has
five vessels in that sea, with instruc-
tions to prevent poaching during
pendency of arbitration proceedings.
While it is too early yet to state what
will be done with this fleet, it is pro-
bable that all the vessels comprising
it will be withdrawn with the exception
of one revenue cutter, which will be
used in maintaining the protective
zone of sixty miles about the sealing
islands of the United States in
accordance with the decision of the
arbitrators.
Minister Elount Returns.
He Maintains Reticence Regarding Affairs in
Hawaii.
San FraNcIsco, August 15.--James
H. Blount, who was appointed Commis-
sioner to investigate Hawaiian affairs,
and who subsequently received the ap-
pointment of United States Minister to
Hawaii, returned from Honolulu this
morning on the steamer Gelic, aftera
sojourn there of over four months. The
announcement of his departure was
made public only the day before he sail-
ed, although the government had been
previously notified. All parties appear
to unite in commendation of Mr.
Blount’s performance of his work of in-
quiry and of the eminently judical tem-
per in which heappears to have prosecu-
ted it. Mr. Blount maintained his re-
ticence as to the conclusions at which
he had arrived respecting Hawaiian af-
fairs to the very last, but the belief was
prevalent in Honolulu that a protector-
ate and not annexation 1s the thing to

A Fatal Hotel Fire.
Several Persons Perish in a Flimsy Chicago
Structure—Penned in Like Rats ina Trap.—
Escapes all Cut Off Before the Guests Were
Warncd-A Mother and Daughter, Badly Burn-
ed, Rescuedfroma Window By Firemen—One
Man Jumps to Death.
CHicaGo, Aug. 15—A hotel fire, re-
sulting in the death of a number of
the guests, occurred this morning.
The fire was in the Senate Hotel, a
three story structure on Madison street,
near Filth Avenue. One man jumped
from a window in the top story and
was killed. About half a dozen others
were suffocated or burned to death.
Loss on the building and conten ts is
practically total, but as the structure
was old and the furnishings cheap, the
amount will not exceed a few thousand
dollars.
A restaurant occupied the ground
floorand the Senate Hotel the two up-
per ones. It contained 36 rooms and
held 30 guests when the fire broke out
shortly after 6 a. m.
The rooms were separated by flismy
wooden partitions and proved first-class
f,od for fire.
The blaze started in the office on
the second floor and spread rapidly
through that and the upper rooms.
Before the guests could be warned
the flames had cut off the escape of a
number of them from the stairs and
they were caught like rats in a trap.
J. Geeche is landlord of the Senate
and J. Chran, manager.
As fast as the dead were taken from
the ruins they were taken to the
morgue.
Mrs. Ahrens and her daughter Annie,
who slept in the front part
escape. Annie and her mother grop-
ed their way through the stifling smoke
to the window and stood out on the
sill. The crowd below yelled to them
not to jump. With desperation the
women clung to the framework, keep-
ing as far out as possible, while the:
smoke and flames burst through the
windows around them. Although
badly burned they retained their posi-
tion until the arrival of a hook and
ladder company. A ladder was raised
and they were rescued.
A man, whose identity is unknown,
next reached the window. The flames
were already scorching his almost
nude body, and he jumped to the stone
pavement. He was picked up in an
unconscious condition. It was at this
juncture the firemen arrived, ladders
were raised and the work of rescuing
the imperilled inmates systematically
begun.
For some, hemmed in by flames,
over powered by smoke and with all
egress shut off, the rescue was too late,
however. The fire is said to have
started from an overturned stair
lamp.
Inall five people were killed and
three others were so badly injured
that they can scarcely recover. At
the Cook county and Mercy hospitals
others are moaning with pain in the
wards, 80 badly injured as to be unable
to tell their names.
Last of the Season’s Popular $10 Excur-
sions to the Sea via the Pennsylva-
nia Railroad.
On Thursday, August 24th, the only
remaining cheap-rate excursion to At-
lantic City, Ocean City, Cape May, Sea
Isle City will be run by the Pennsylva-
nia Railroad Company.
The rate of $10 from Pittsburg, and
correspondingly reduced rates from oth-
er points, offer rare opportunity for a
most economical trip to any one of the
above-mentioned prominent watering-
places. The tickets are good for return
passage within twelve days, thus giving
ample time for a pleasant sojourn on the
shores of the Atlantic.
The large number of people availing
themselves of this really extraordinary
offer on the previous runs of the same
series vouches for the satisfaction and
popularity which these low-rate seashore
excursions meet at the hands of the
people.
The special train will leave Pittsburg
at 8.50 a. m., arriving in Philadelphia
a little after 7 in the evening. The
night is spent in the Quaker City and
any regular train taken the next day
for the shore. :
The rates apply on regular train
leaving Pittsburg at 4.30, 7.00, and 8.-
10 p. m., or on special train leaving st
8.50 a. m. on the above mentioned date.
The speciel train will run on the fol-
lowing schedule, and the tickets will

Half Rates and Fast Trains to Chicago
Fair via Pennsylvania Railroad.
The popular excursions to Chicago
which are being run by the Pennsylva-
nia Railroad seem to furnish exactly
what the the people want. The first
two trains were well putronized, and
as the vacation is now well advanced
the remaining excursions will undoubt-
edly attract a much larger number of
passengers.
A decided improvement in the train
schedule, which accelerates it so as io
deliver the passengers in Chicago at an
early hour the following afternoon,
places the special train almost on an’
equality 1n the matter of speed with the
best express trains.
The special trains are composed of
the standard coaches for which the
Pennsylvania Railroad is famous. On-
ly one night is passed on the road, and
the arrival in Chicago is so timed as to
give abundant opportunity for engaging
quarters before nightfall.
The dates of the next excursions are
August 23d, September 4th, 10th,
18th, 25th. The special train will leave
Washington 10.15 a. m., Baltimore
11.20 a. m., stopping at York, Harris-
burg, Lewistown Junction, and Ty-
rone, arriving in Chicago early the next
afternoon. The excursion rate, good
only on the special train and valid for
return within ten days, is $17 from
Washington and Baltimore, and pro-
portionately low from other stations.
This arrangement also applies to all
principal stations on the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad, and Northern Cen-
tral Railway between Baltimore and
Elmira, Philadelphia and Erie Railroad
between Williamsport and Renovo, and
principal stations on main line and
branches between Harrrisburg and
Pittsburg.
No one should fail to visit the Fair
with such facilities at hand.

——A little racket occurred at the
Park, on Friday, when by a mere
chance a party of young people from the
vicinity of Howard happened there with
a picnic on the same day that the mem-
‘bers of the United Brethren church of this
place were there. Of course the young
folks intended dancing in the pavilion,
and as they were entirely distinct from the
church party had a right to do so unless
the latter had the grounds leased. The
United Brethrens objected to the terp-
sichorian amusement and a wrangle en-
sued which only stopped short of a fight,
when the big park policeman appeared.
——William Crawford dropped in to
see us on Saturday afternoon to tell us
that he has secured work constructing a
lime kiln which is being built at Mil}
Hall. He left on Monday to begin
work. William had been employed at
the Morris’ Buffalo Run quarries until
Friday, when he was discharged for neg«
ligence in allowing the fire that burned
the sheds, up there on last Thursday, to
gain such head way before discovering
it. Though he was held responsible for
the conflagration he thinks it was
through no fault of his that the fire oc-
curred and to his mind it was purely
accidental. He seemed very sorry that
the trouble had occurred.

his death was the dissolution consequent

Though not in the best of health his
death was somewhat sudden. Nothing

the afternoon just before his death when
he complained of the heat.
