The battle of Mukden, as it is now officially named, between the armies of Japan and Russia, has ended most disastrously for the latter. It is believed to have been one of the greatest battles of the world . In spite of their terrible de feat the Czar says they will still fight on, and that a new army will be raised; and that the war will go on to the titter end. No overtures of peace will be heeded unless they come from Japan direct, which means that no other nation will be allowed to intervene as a peace maker. As the Japanese have been pounding Russia ftom the beginn ing, and have now got her on the run, it is not likely that Japan will sue for peace. Field Marshal Oyania in his re port on Sunday, says: "Prisoners, spoils and the ene my's estimated casualties against all our forces in the Shahke direc tion follow, but the piisoners, guns and spoils are increasing moment arily. "The prisoners number over 40, 000, including General Nachmoss. The killed and wounded are esti mated at 90,000. The enemy's dead left on the field number 26, 500. The spoils include two flags, about sixty guns, 60,000 rifles, 150 ammunition wagons, t.ooo cars, 200,000 shells, 25,000,000 rouuds of Hiiall arms ammunition, 75,000 bushels of cereals, 275,000 bushels of todder. "Forty five miles of light railway outfit, 2,000 horses, 23 cart loads of maps, 1,000 cart loads of clothing and accoutrements, 1,000,000 ra tions of bread, 70,000 tons of fuel and 60,000 tons of hay besides tools, t'?nts, Bullock's telegraph wire and poles, timber, beds, stoves and numerous other property." APPROVED CHOICE OF BISHOP- Majority of Dioceses Consented to Election of Dr. Darlington. Tbirtv-five of the thirtv-siv rlin- ceses of the Protestant Episcopal wnurcn in tue united states have signified their consent to the elec tion of Rev. Dr. James H. Darling ton, of Brooklyn as bishop of Har risburg, and all that remains to as sure the election is favorable action by the ninety-nine bishops. There is mue aouot ot this. Uuder the church canons the elec tion of a bishop must be approved by a majority of the dioceses through the standing committee of each. This has now been done and the pa pers will be forwarded to Presiding Bishop Tuttle. of Missouri, in order that he may present the matter to tne nisnops indivtdually. The standing committee met last week and decided that the conse cration of Dr. Darlington should be held in his own church in Brooklyn after Easter. .

IN THECOUNTY WASHINGTON. Fro 'ii our Rc'iu1ur Correspondent. Washington, D. C, Mar. 9, 1905. A great inauguration has r assed into history, an inauguration in which r atti-an bias and political dis appointments were forcotten or'ave place to rejoicing that a geat people, so, 000, oo in number, should hive elected without rancor or bitterness the man whom a majority preferred for President and that he should have been inaugurated under the most favorable circumstances and amid the hearty cheers of Demo crats and Republicans, the splcndc r of his inauguration contributed to by the Governors of States North and South. East and West. Even the Heavens seemed to smilo on this culmination of the free choice of a liberty loving people, for a se vere storm which hovered close to Wshiugton in the early pa-t of th day, changed its course and left the inauguration ceremonies and the brilliant pageant which foilowed to be carried out under .sunny skies. Th6 Senate, which is a continu ing body, met in special session at noon on March 4, in accordance with the call of the President issued sev eral days before and o n Monday took tip in earnest the work of con sidering the Dominican protocol. It immediately became evident that there was strong opposition to the protocol as drafted, on both sides of the chamber, and discussion took the form of debate as to w hether it could be so amended as to command the support of two thirds of the Sen ate. After some discussion the treaty was relerred to the committee on Foreign Relations where it was dissected aud nut together ao-nin in a form which is far more acceptable to prominent Senators than was the original, and the indications are that eventually it will be armroved. The convention in its new form was reported to the Senate todav but it had been so changed in com mittee that its author would have hard work to identify it The facts in connection with this protocol are peculiar and involve unfortunate blunders on the nart of a high official in the State Depart ment wno. probably unintentionally, niiM?a me resident and startled the Senate. The timelv recovery of Secretary Hay from a somewhat protracted although not dangerous illness, saved t h e administration fro in an almost irretrievable blun der. Secretary Hay, before his ill ness, approved the principle involved in the Doniincan arrangement but when he was confined to his resi dence no details had been worked out. Then it was that his subordi nate went into action and undertook to negotiate a protocol and put it in to effect without consulting the Sen ate and misled the President into be lieving that his course ws sanction ed by Secretary Hay The protocol way duly signed, the Domincaii gov ernment made the text public and it was cabled to New York. When the Senators learned what bad been done they demanded an explanation at the White House, the President rushed over to Secretary Hay. who had nearly recovered and who ad vised him that the work done was not only unauthorized by him but was contrary to his judgment. The President, with Mr. Hay's assist ance, caused radical changes in the protocol to be cabled to Santo Dom ingo aud there incorporated into the agreement, among them being pro vision for submitting the conven tion to the Senate. The negotiation of treaties at long range is always a difficult undertaking, however, and the result has been that the present protocol reached the Senate in a very crude shape. .No feeling of animosity to the President has characterised the work of the Senate in its operations ou the convention and there is thus One dose of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral at bedtime prevents night coughs of children.

Just one. - 1 fit "iifrniWiii iMin mm Avers far no indication that Mr. Roosevelt will object to those changes which the Senate may deem essential. The amendments reported by the com mittee on Foreign Relations have the effect of eliminating all refer ence to the M on toe Doctrine, of making i t clear that the United States is acting solely from benevo lent motives anb with a desire t o assist Santo Domingo, not to com pel that Republic to pay its debts to foreign creditors, and an effort has been made to avoid, by the ratifica tion of this treaty, the establish ment of a precedent which may, in the future be invoked by foreign creditors of other American coun tries. What the Senate will do with the convention now that it is belore the entire body is necessarily largely conjecture, but the indica tions are that it will approve it in its revised form. The final statements o f the a mount appropriated by the last ses sion of the fifty-eighth Congress have been prepared and show a to. tal appropiiation for the entire ses sion of$S 18,478,914,81, an increase of approximately 38,000,000 over the pr:viotis session and an increase of 5321,000,000 over the appropria tion made by the last session during President Cleveland's administra tion. It is argued as an excuse for this increased expenditure that the nation has grown but it is doubtful if the resources of the nation are keep ing pace with the annual govern mental expencitures and prominent Democrats believe that there will be a deficit this year, as there was last. There is no question but that the federal organization is being con ducted with a lavish hand , and that once the tide of prosperity which th 2 country is now enjoying begins to ebb the public will demaud a cur tailment of that extravagance which at present, passes unheeded. In this connection it is encourag ing to note that the President is de termined to demand of Congress some readjustment of the tariff schedules at the session to be called in the autumn. Every student of the national finances knows that there are many tariff schedules which could be so lowered as to pro duce a revenue where now they only afford protection in other words, enable domestic manufac turers to demand exorbitant prices while they pay to American work men those wages which they are compelled to and no more. How much reform will be effected by a Congress in which both houses are absolutely in control of the protec tionist party is problematical but if the tariff question is once opened it may result in educating 0 good many young Americans on this vi tal subject. For Register and Recorder. W e anuounce this week, the name of Frank W. Miller, of Cen tralia, for the office of register and recorder, Mr. Miller is the son of Charles Miller of Locust township, this county, where he was born and lived until he was tweuty-three years of age. He taught school in that district for a period of three years, under J. S. Grimes as Coun ty Superintendent, after which he went to Centralia, and accepted a position in the office of Lewis A; Riley &Co., where he remained for fire years. After severing his connection with Riley & Co., he en tered the employ of the Kress Sta tionary Co , as traveling salesman. in which position he continued for five years. For the past six years he has been in business for himself, handling a line of paper, paper bags, bank books, stationery and school supplies. Mr. Miller comes from good, true blue Demo cratic stock, has been an aggres sive party worker and has at all times supported its candidates. He has been a school director of Cen tralia Boro for three years and was re-elected at the Feb uary election. Mr. Millc feels that he is entitled to the support ot the democratic vo ters, not only for his party fealty, but also because the office which he seeks has never been held by any one on the south side of the river.
