FTE SINNER,
A Danger Signal.
The Union party representatives who
mets in Philadelphia on Tuesday of lass
week wisely determined to call a conven-
tion and nominate a ticket of their own this
year. They might, with equal propriety, have
determined to support the Democratic can-
didates for they stand for everything that
the Union party professes to believe in,and
such a resolution would bave settled the
matter finally and fitly. But having failed
in that the next best thing to do was that
which was done, namely, to agree on a sep-
arate ticket and carry out the agreement.
Senator QUAY hopes to perpetnate his
personal control of the political affairs of
the State through the election of his cousin
and eulogist, Judge PENNYPACKER, and
with that purpose in mind he will endeav-
or to induce the Union party toendorse the
Republican candidate for Governor. In
fulfillment of that design hehas already se-
cured the active co-operation of a consider-
able number of the former leaders of the
Union party and so-called insurgent Re-
publicans. Whether they will be able to
pervert the organization to his uses remains
to be seen and much will depend upon the
vigilance of those who are earnestly in op-
position to QUAYism.
It is understood that those in Tuesday’s
conference were a unit against the nomina-
tion of PENNYPACKER, and that is encour-
aging. But QUAY never gives up until the
last expedient is exhausted and he will try
to control the convention if one is called.
He will not be able to accomplish that, of
course. if the friends of ballot reform in the
Union party are vigilant and energetic.
But nothing should be taken for granted
with 1e=pect to the matter. In other words
the opponents of QUAY should he quite as
active as his friends in the preliminary con-
test for the control of the Union party con-
vention. *

Trusts Must Be Checked
Democratic Leader Talks of Roosevelt's Pittsburg
Speech. It’s a Message to the People. If the Presi-
dent Had been In Earnest About Legislation, the
the Minority Pariy Would Have Helped Him.
WASHINGTON, D. C., J uly 8.—A¢
the beadquarters of the Democratic Con-
gressional Campaign Committee to-day,
discussing President Roosevelt's pronounce.
ment at Pittsburg against Trusts, Chairman
] uss M. Griggs, of Georgia, said to-
y:,
I am some what surprised that the Presi-
dent should have waited until after Con-
gress had adjoined to deliver his message
on regulating the Trusts. The Constitution
requires the President to advise Congress
as to legislation on any subject considered
necessary by him, and his failure to advise
Congress on this question is indeed strange,
considering the fact that he thought it nec- |-
essary to say something on the question
two days after the adjournment of the ses-
sion. -
“The legitimate conclusion must be that
his message is to the people and not to the
law making power. i :
“The Democratic party in Cobgiess in
the Tast caucus held A oi s
sisted on anti-trust: legislation. :* We not
only did that. but we urged that Congress
remain in session until such legislation
could be enacted. The President knew of
this, and with his assistance we probably
could have accomplished something. If be
is in earnest, let him call Congress togeth-
er, and the Democratic party stands ready
to vote for anything thas will rid the coun-
try of the Trust barden.”’
PUBLICITY IS NO REMEDY.
Mr. Griggs added that the proposed Repnb-
lican campaign against Trusts will not turn
aside the program of his party, to make
that question a leading issne. He believ-
es it to be the question uppermost in the
publie mind, and he also believes that the
emoecratic manner of Broviding Trust
regulation—through tariff reform—is the
only correct method of accomplishing the
desired end,
Mr. Griggs continued: “And what is
the remedy which the President suggests ? |’
Why, it is publicity. Publicity is noth-
ing more than normal suasion, which
would have about as much effect npon a
Trust as it would have upon highwayman.
I never knew of normal suasion causing a
robber to desist from ‘holding up’ his viotim,
and I cannot see where it would be any
more effective with the Trusts. What is
needed is the strong arm of the law in
both cases.
**We have the Republican party on the
run upon this great question of Trusts, and
we propose to keep them running and see
that they do not hide behind any such
flimsy shelter as the President put ap in
his Pittsburg speech.”
Aguinaldo May Come to Lecture to
Americans.
Thrifty Managers See Fortune in Exhibiting the
Filipino—EXxpected to Visit Anti-imperialistic
League.
WASHINGTON, July 7.—Army and navy
officers who are acquainted with the char-
acter of Aguinaldo, the hero of anti-Imper-
ialists,are interested and amused by the ac-
connt of the Filipino’s actions, when releas-
ed from confinement. His lack of physical
courage, as illustrated by his fear to go on
the streets in daylight and by his inquiry
as to what protection the American author-
ities would afford him, is not surprising to
those who long ago made their estimate of
him. He seems to be in mortal terror of
his own countrymen and anxious to leave
the Philippines as soon as possible.
The War Department has no advices re-
garding Aguinaldo’s intention to visit this
country, but it is generally supposed he will
come here, and with his friend, Sixto Lo-
pez, meet the members of the Anti-Imper-
ialistic League of America. He is now a
free citizen of the Philippines, and can go
where he pleases. Tnere is nothing to pre-
vent his coming to this country. He will
be given the same protection accorded any
other citizen of the archipelago, and it is
understood special efforts will be made to
guard against any attack upon bim by his
former associates who claim to have been
betrayed by him.
HAS THE MONEY.
The War Department, however, is not
likely to assist him in leaving the archipel-
ago, as his future movements will be those
of a private individual, and if be has the
money, and there seems to be no doubt
among the War Department officials that he
has plenty of it, he can travel over the
world. ele
It is raomored here that offers will be
made to Aguinaldo by thrifty and enterpris-
ing managers to appear on the lecture plat-
form or in some way exhibit himself in the
United States for money. Government of-
ficials here believe that a visit by Aguinal-
do to the United States would do him good
as it would show him how fruitless any in-
surrection by the Filipinos must be against
the sovereignty of the United States. They
do not fear, however, that he will ever
again head an insurrection as his prestige
among the Filipinos is gone.
BUENCAMINO’S VIEW.
Mr. Felipe Buencamino,a member of the
board of civil service for the Philippines,in
commenting on Aguinaldo’s conduct, said
this afternoon : —
‘‘Everything I said in my testimony be-
fore the Honse Committee on Insular Af-
fairs, relating to Aguinaldc,is borne out by
the latest news from Manila, regarding
Aguinaldo’s fear of assassination, ete.
‘I regard Aguinaldo as honest in his con
victions, but politically,he is incapacitated
to govern a people. A proof of this is his
request of General Chaffee, to be excused
from appearing as a witness in civil cases.
I regard it as an obligation of every citizen
to appear when called upon.
‘‘My latest impressions,’”’ Mr. Buencam-
ino said, ‘‘are that the blessings of liberty
in this country are the best in the world.
My greatest wish are that these same bless-
ings may be transferred to the people of the
Philippines, and I am positive that they
can reach there quicker by the administra-
tion of the United States than in any other
way.”
No Indication That Either Party Is
Ready To Quit.
Ninth Week of the Suspension of Anthracite Coal
Mining Shows No Change in the Strike Situation
Headquarters an Extremely Quiet Place Yesterday:
WILKESBARRE, July 7.—With Presi-
dent John Mitchell in New York and al
other miners’ leaders at Nanticoke attend-
ing the annnal convention of District No 1,
strike headquarters was an extremely quiet
place to day. The ninth week of the gus.
pension of anthracite coal mining shows no
change in the situation, there being not
the slightest indication thyt either party to
the controversy is ready to quit. The visit
of the mineis’ chief to New York continues
to arouse interest. No word of his move-
ments in the metropolis has been received
here and there is much gpeculation as to
what caused him to go there. Conditions
in and ‘about the collieries remain unchang-
ed excepting that the heavy rains of the last
few days have increased the amount of wa-
ter somewhat in many of the mines. min-
ing superintendents do not fear much
trouble from this, most of them expressing
their confidence that with a dry spell che
pumps will rapidly reduce it to its normal
level.
The entire coal belt was generally very
quiet, very few. men cougregating in
the vicinity of the collieries. The large
force of coal and iron policemes, estimated
at 3,000, is kept constantly on duty for
‘cused of intimidating alleged ‘‘unfair’’
workmen, but the arrests were made so
.ance of any kind.
The district convention at Nanticoke
to-day disposed of considerable busi-
ness of a routine nature. About 40V
delegates representing 75,000 mine work-
‘ers are attending the convention, which
embraces all the territory from Forest City
twenty two miles north of Scranton, to
Reports of officers were presented and re-
ferred to committies and the balloting for
officers was begnn. There is some opposi-
tion to Secretary John Dempsey and Vice
President Adam Ruscavage. :
President I. D. Nicholls will be ‘unani-
mously re-elected. The result of the
election of other officers will not be
knowp until to-morrow. During the after-
noon District President Duffy, of the Le-
high district, and Faby, of the Schuyl-
kill territory, made brief addresses, in
which they urged the delegates to stand
firm during the progress of the strike.

Those Active Volcanoes.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, July 9. — The
active volcanoes of Costa Rico, Maravallis
and Richmond de La Vieja, situated re-
spectively eighty and sixty miles south-
east of Lake Nicaragua, gavea day’s warn-
ing previous to their recent cruption. No
natives are reported to have lost their lives.
The country around the volcanoes is sparse-
ly settled, being mainly cattle estates.
The mountains are distant from the lake
and ocean and the water supply in their
vicinity is moderate. Therefore they are
not severely explosive. The principal
causes of the ontbreaks are chemical action
and the re-adjasting of the earth’s crust.

PRINCE OF WALES’ THANKS.
In inamgurating the Raphael Nurses
Home of Guy’s hospital this afternoon, the
Prince of Wales said all would join him in
expressing unbounded thankfulness to God
for the merciful recovery of his dear fath-
er. They had all been cheered and sup-
ported during the severe trial by the deep
sympathy of the whole Empire and they
who bad watched at the King’s bedside
realized how much was due to the eminent
surgical and medical skill and to the high-
ly trained and patient nursing of the King.
KING HAS A GOOD DAY.
King Edward passed a favorable day and
the verbal report given out. to-night was
that his Majesty is still doing well.
The use by the Prince of Wales of the
King’s progress this afternoon, is regarded
in many quarters as indicating that the
royal family considers the King’s case most
hopefully.
At 10 o'clock this morning the following
bulletin on King Edward’s condition was
posted at Buckingham Palace :—
‘The King had nine hours’ natural sleep
and his progress continues to be uninter-
rupted. The wound is discharging freely
and is less painful to dress.’’
Is Our Glory Tarnishing Already.
From the Lancaster Intelligencer.
Four years ago the United States aston-
ished the world and iteelf by the thorough-
ness and celerity with which it vanquished
Spain. We are still trying to find out
just how we did it, and Admiral Dewey,
in testifying before the Senate Philippine
committee with a view to enlightenment
as to his relations with Aguninaldo and the
natives, incidentally shows that we cap-
tured Manila because the Spaniards want-
ed us to capture it.
It has been admitted by sagacious and
well-informed men that we captured San-
tiago for the same reason. It is not to be
denied that a prolonged defense of that
city was quite possible; and keeping in
mind the fever-stricken return of our San-
tiago army, it must be admitted thas
there was more good luck than good man-
agement about the campaign.
Whether Spain was badly served by
weak-kneed generals and ministers, or
whether she was reallv glad of the oppor-
tunity to retire from the tasks of colonial
empire, which has proved so far beyond
her strength, it is now rather more than a
vague suspicion that she gave us material
assistance. She furnished a good cause for
war by eapping the atrocious abuse of Cuba
with the attitude which she assumed to-
ward the blowing up of the Maine. She
failed to make any serious preparations for
war, though long assured that it was com=
ing. She sent Cervera to his doom, though
positively and clearly informed that his
cruise was hopeless. She yielded Manila
and ‘Santiago and the East and West Indies
after opposition altogether irreconcilable
with any earnest determination to hold on
to them.
It is easy to conquer when the enemy
‘| assists.
Time Renders Many Things Value=
less.
From the Pittsburg Post.
The failure of a costly experiment in sea-
hoard defense is recorded in the sale of the
‘Government’s million dollar pneumatic gun
plant at Sandy Hook for about $20,000.
The pneumatic gun, which was originally
designed by Captain Zalinsky, was, at one
time, thought to be an exceeding formidable
weapon, but the rapid development of mod-
ern ordnance has made it obsolete. It
was impossible to depend on it for accurate
shooting at long range, and in these days
of high-powered rifles such an implement
is of little value. The mechanism of thede
vise was also extremely complicated and
likely to get out of order at critical mo-
ments. It does not follow that the experts
who recommended the initial expenditure
on it were incompetent. Ten years ago it
' might have been useful. There has been an
advance in the art and science of war since
{'then.

THE HAYES HosPITAL MADE A PUBLIC
INSTITUTION.—In another column of this
issue will be noticed an application for a
charter for what is to be known as ‘‘The
Bellefonte Hospital.”” It is an important
matter to everybody in this community he-
cause it is the first step in the direction of
giving Bellefonte a general hospital and all
through the public spirited, unselfish work
of one of our youngest physicians.
We refer to Dr. R. G. H. Hayes, whose
determination to turn the fine new hospital
building he bas just completed in this place,
over to the pubiic has paved the way to
securing something even more extensive in
the future. Under the plan which Dr.
Hayes suggested when he decided to make
his hospital a public institution a board of
managers consisting of five physicians and
five laymen have been selected who are to
have complete control of it.
It will be noticed by the application that
the hospital is to be public in every sense
of the word and when the organization that
was effected last Friday becomes more per-
fect the WATCHMAN will give its readers a
clearer insight into this generous action of
Dr. Hayes.
The board of managers consists of Dr.
Geo. F. Harris, president; Dr. R. G. H.
‘Hayes, vice president; Col. W. F. Reeder
secretary; Geo. R. Meek, treasurer; Drs.
Seibert, Klump, and Sebring, Col. W. F.

MRS. CATHARINE BOOZER.—An illness
of several months terminated in the death
of Mrs. Catharine Boozer, at her home in
Centre Hall on Thursday, July 3rd. Ear-
ly in the spring she had been visiting her
son John, at Osceola, and while there con-
tracted pneumonia. Though she recover-
ed from the attack it left her lungs so
weakened that consumption developed la-
ter, causing her demise.
Mrs. Boozer was the widow of John
Boozer, who died 35 years ago. She was
born near Boalsburg in 1819, consequently
she had reached the ripe old age of 83 years.
She was a kindly, sweet tempered, christian
woman who fulfilled the ideals of wife and
mother. Her years of devoted service to
the Reformed church will earn many
bright jewels for her crown.
Surviving her are her sons John, of
Osceola; D. A. of Centre Hall; and daugh-

CouNcin. ADOPTS A WATER RATE. —
The meeting of council, on Monday even-’
ing, was fraught with more than the usual
interest because of the fact that the long
expected schedule of rates for water con-
samption was adopted. The change will
affect only those who use the borough wat-
er for other than domestic purposes. The
same plan of levy for domestic purposes as
has been in foree for several years will be
continued, but where water is used to pro-
pel motors, elevators, supply hotels and
other purely business enterprises meters
will be used to record the actual consump-
tion and it will be charged for as follows :
50,000 Gal......... 12 Gems per thousand Gal.

The other business before the body was
disposed of as follows : S. A. McQuistion and
Charles McCafferty appeared to ask for bet-
ter surface drainage on west High street in
order to protect their properties from dis-
tractive flooding. The request was refer-
red to the Street committee. The petition
for a new crossing over Ridge street on the
south side of Bishop was acted upon favor-
ably. A brick crossing will be placed there.
Committees reported progress in the vari-
ous departmental works and then chairman
Potter, of the Finance committee, present-
ed a proposition to inerease the bonded in-
debtedness of the borough hy the issue of
$25,000 in 4 per cent bonds,’ this for the
purpose of taking np sundry outstanding
orders, liquidating the floating indebtedness
and restoring $6,000 to the sinking fund.
The bonds are coupon bearing and will
be dated Aung. 1st, 1902. They will be of
$500 denominations and the ‘first one will
mature Aug. 1st, 1904, and ofie each year
thereafter, finally running out in 1929.
They are to be free of taxes and their issu-
ance will add ahout $2,100,annually, to the
interest tax levied by the borough. The
present bonded indebtedness being $95,000
this will increase the debt of the bhorecugh
to $120,000. 7

STATE COLLEGE GETS THE ‘CARNEGIE’
LIBRARY.—On Monday it bedame abso-
lutely certain that The Pennsylvania State
College is to have another - magnificent
building, in addition-to the: chapel so re-
cently presented thas. institution by Mr.
and Mrs. Chas. M. Schwab. ° 3 :
Several years ago Andrew: Carnegie offer-
ed the College $100,000 for a library, pro-
vided the State would make an annual ap-
propriation of $10,000 for its’ maintenance.
While everyone felt that it was a rare
opportunity, the Legislature decided
that it had no authority to obligate future
bodies for the payment of an annual fund of
that sort, consequently a bill providing for
it was lost before the last session. With
its failure nearly all hope of securing the
Carnegie building vanished, but the board
of trustees of the College kept the matter
alive and during the recent commencement
exercises it was announced that they had
practically. completed plans whereby the
library could be secured without the States’
aid. This was confirmed on Monday, when
word was received from Mr. Carnegie’s pri-
vate secretary to go ahead at once with the
erection of the building.
This gratifying bit of news secures to our
Centre county institution two fine new and
needed buildings, as well as allies two of
the world’s greatest capitalists with it.
The sites for the proposed buildings
have not been definitely decided upon yet.
They are matters that will call for the most
mature deliberation of those having ‘them
in charge. While there is plenty of room
on the College campus for all the buildings
that the growth of the institution will ever
require, the location of the chapel, especial-
ly, should be such as to make it easiest: of
adocess from dormitories andjboarding houses,
without giving a congested appearance to
the campus building prospect.

THE GOLDEN JUBILEE FOR DR. WoLF.
—The movement originated by a few of
the former students of Dr. D. M. Wolf, of
Penn Hall, to fittingly commemorate the
fiftieth anniversary of his work as a teach-
er has taken definite shape and the inter-
est already manifested for this occasion to
give expression to the esteem in which he

taught. A special return train to Belle-

greatly accommodate those attending from

THE IMPROVED ORDER OF RED MEN.—
65 | Policeman Harry Miller is very muchin-
terested in the organization of a camp of
the Improved Order of Red Men in this

——Governor and Mrs. D. H. Hastings
were in London for the Fourth and the
Governor was a guest at the Independence
day banquet and celebration held ‘ by the
American colony in that city. While Am-
bassador Choate and one of the English
Nabohs were the only ones listed to speak,
after they bad said their little say and
gone off to another function the Bellefonter
was called upon and responded in a bril-
liant manner. In fact he even went to the
length of criticising our Ambassador for
enjoining silence on those present when the:
occasion was one meriting felicitation on
all sides. The former Governor's views
have been concurred in by many of the:
leading American journals.
