(From our Regular Correspondent.)) Washington, March 23, 1903. Editor Press:— The special session of the Senate of the Fifty-eighth Congress lias adjourned nine die after having rati fied both the Panama and the Cuban treaties and the President lias expressed himself as satisfied with the work of the session. Nevertheless, there is grave doubt in the minds of many friends of both treaties as to their future. 1 n the case of the Cuban treaty it has been amended in several instances and one, at least, of these amend ments seriously jeopardizes the success of the agreement. This is the amendment which provides that the treaty shall go into effect only when "approved by the Con gress." The question is now rais ed. Can an exchange of ratifica tion be made when the ratification of the Senate is of so equivical a character and depends, for its ulti mate settlement, on the action of both houses of Congress at the next session? It is certain that there will be no reciprocity with Cuba until late in the next session and in the opinion of many competent judges the House will amend the treaty and thus precipitate a gen eral discussion and contest which will mean the defeat of the entire project. It is admitted that a serious mis take has been made with regard to the Colombian treaty, in that Sen ator Morgan was permitted to print in the Congressional Record all of his speeches against the canal, while the injunction of secrecy was not removed from any of the speeches made by the friends of the convention, aside from Senator Cullom's brief, closing argument. Moreover, the question is now rais ed as to whether the Secretary of the Treasury will feel authorized to pay out funds under the provisions of the Spooner act and on the con tract made with Colombia, as there is a serious difference between the provisions of the two. Several Senators, who most vigorously maintained that there was nothing in Mr. Morgan's contention to this effect, now admit that it is au im portant factor, although they say that hereafter all responsibility rests with the Attorney General who will have to decide this ques tion. The old suspicion of the sincerity of the Senate advocates of the Panama route is again aroused on apparently good grounds. It is frankly admitted that the President is seriously disappointed at the failure of the Senate to con firm or reject his nominations of William Michael Byrne for United States Attorney for Delaware and Dr. Crum for Collector of the Port of Charleston, S. C. Both of these nominations were sent in during the. regular session and reported unfavorably by the Judiciary and Commerce committees respectively, but no action was taken by the Sen ate as a whole. They t were sent in again on the first day of the special session and Mr. Byrne's nomination was unfavorably re ported by the committee on .J udi ciarv but the commerce committee refused to assemble to consider the Crum nomination. True to his word, the President has appointed both men as recess appointments but it is evident that the senators "played politics" and determined to place the onus of the appoint ments no Mr. Roosevelt. Taking the past session as a whole, there is good ground for the belief that Mr. Roosevelt was very shabbily treated by the leaders of his own party. From the standpoint of the leaders there is reason for it. He is the most difficult, president to use and manipulate Republicans have ever had. Cleveland was as difficult, but Republican office seek ers expected nothing from him. New Store. VV. H.

Editor Cameron County Press: I wish to call the attention of the public through the columns of four paper to one or two sections oft' fish laws of this state that they nu not in future plead ignorance of the iws if arrested, which they surely will eif they violate the law and I know ' It has come to my knowledge thatp ties are already fishing for trout and tell ing them. This must be stoppe |or parties must suffer the conseque? les. I ca.ll especial attention to the nr .ber of trout allowed to be caught eae. Jay by one person, and the length of I t>ut and bass. I warn all parties that I fill, whenever I think necessary, oper |ny fisherman's basket and examii ,;for length and number of trout caught, and by every lawful means in my power bring violators of the law to justice Part of section four of act approved the 29th day of May, 1901 says, "any brook or speckled trout or any species or variety of trout, save lake trout, less than six inches in length; any black bass less than seven inches in length; any pike or pickerel or jack salmon, less than nine inches long—fine $lO for each and every fish caught, less than the above lengths, or one day in jail for each dollar fine, also a day in jail for each dollar of cost of suit." Section 18—"That from and after the passage of this act, it shall be unlawful for any proprietor, manager, clerk or agent of any market, hotel, boarding house, eating house, restaurant or sa loon or any person, company or corpo ration in this commonwealth to pur chase, sell or expose for sale any brook or speckled trout, or to contract with or to employ any person or persons to catch or fish for brook or speckled trout for him or them by the day or otherwise, fine for such offen3e $25." Section 33—"That from and alter the passage of this act, any fish commis sioner or fish warden, sheriff, deputy sheriff, constable or any special officer or any peace officer in this common wealth is hereby authorized and com manded to proceed with such force of j the county as may be necessary to de-1 stroy any device used contrary to or prohibited by law, in any of the waters of the commonwealth, and they are hereby authorized and commanded to arrest forthwith and without war rant, any person or persons owning, placing or using such device or violat ing any of the provisions of this act, and they are further authorized and commanded to apprehend an arrest and immediately take any person or j persons, who may be guilty of such violations before any justice of the peace, magistrate or other legally con- : stituted authority, etc., etc. Also in j section 33, such arrests may also be made on Sunday, in which case the 1 person or persons shall be taken before the proper officer and proceeded \ against as soon as may be practicable on a week day following arrest." Section 34.—"That from and after the passage of this act, any sheriff, deputy sheriff, constable, special officer or any other peace ofttoer of this com- 1 inonwealth, who shall refuse or neglect I to proceed with sufficient force of the county to forthwith remove and de stroy any existing device, illegally ■ used for the catching of fish within his jurisdiction after being notified in writing of the existence of such ille gally used device by a fish commis sioner or any other citizen of this com- 1 monwealth,"shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction shall be fined five hundred dollars." Section 35.—"That any person or persons interfering with anv of the i officers named, in the discharge of their duties, or resisting arrest, shall upon conviction thereof, as provided in section 38, of this act, pay a fine not | less than one hundred dollars, or be ! imprisoned in the county jail for not loss than three months, or be subject to both penalties, at the discretion of the ' magistrate or court before which they or lie shall be convicted." Part of section 43. "They (meaning wardens) shall have power without warrant, to search and examine any boat, conveyance vehicle, fish box, basket, bag, coat or other receptacle for fish when they have good reason to believe that any of the provisions of the act have been violated, and said warden shall at any time, seize and take possession of any and all killed fish which have been caught, taken or killed at any time in any manner or for any purpose, or had in possession ' or under contract or have been ship ped or are about to be shipped contrary to any laws of this state." I have given an extract of the import ant fish laws that have a bearing in this community. I again state I will prose cute any and all parties that I find or 1 can prove are breaking the fish laws i and will give ten dollars to anyone who will give mo private information leading ultimately to conviction, that I may personally take steps to arrest such violators of the law and pledge myself not to divulge the name of NUCII I party or parties giving such informa tion. i might add the trout season is from April to, to July 31st. S«-e Hsh laws I 1901. FKKD JI'UAN, j lish Warden for Cameron County, Commission expires March 19, 1004 Carnegie Helps Emporium. Andrew Carnegie, the philanthropist, who has given to worthy objects more money than ony other person in the world, has extended to Emmanuel Episcopal church the last half of a SISOO organ to be placed in their new church. The First Methodist Episcopal church of Emporium have also been remember ed by this more than liberal gentleman, he having signified his willingness to donate the last half of an SIBOO organ. No doubt both church organizations will accept these generous offers. Cameron's Educators Win Praise in Clinton County. On Saturday last a Teachers' Insti tute was held at Renovo, Clinton County, Pa., which was participated in by the leading educators of that county, and Prof. E. S. Ling, Principal of Emporium Schools and Snpt. Mattie M. Coliins, of this county. In a letter to the Editor of the PRESS, Prof. Oden C. Qortner, Prin cipal of the Renovo Schools, who was Chairman of the Institute, speaks very highly of the addressed of Cameron's leading educators: Prof. Ling told in a very pleasing manner "How to Cultivate the Reason ing Powers." His address was a masterly effort and not withstanding that ho was the last speaker on the afternoon's program he easily held his audience to the close and received a round of generous applause. Supt. Mattie M. Collins discoursed in a most helpful way about the"Quali fications of the Teacher." Miss Collins has a pleasing form of address and al ways gives her hearers something good to take along home for tuture use. To show her fidelity to the cause which she represents and to illustrate her sense of punctuality, Miss Collins arose from a sick bed and went to Renovo and performed her part nobly. The teachers of Clinton county ap preciate the inspiring talkß given by Prof. Ling and Miss Collins and they will always welcome them to future educational meetings.

CLARE* ELLEN, wife of Patrick Clare, died at her homeatCameron,Tuesday morning, March 24, of pneumonia, aged 65 years Mrs. Clare contracted a cold some weeks ago and was confined to her bed for several days, but recovered suffi ciently to be up and about the house, when she suffered a relapse, and being of an advanced age could not with stand the second attack and on Tues day she peacefully passed away, sur rounded by her husband and children. Mrs. Clare was a woman of most ex - cellent qualities and was possessed of a sweet, gentle disposition; a kind and loving wife and mother, good neighbor and a devout christian lady, being a member of St. Mark's Catholic church. She is survived by a husband and five children, viz: Mrs. J. C. Lynch and Miss May me, of Boston; Misses Delia, Nellie and Patsy of Cam eron, all of whom were at her bedside when the end came. The deceased had lived in this county a number of years and was esteemed by all who were acquainted with her. She was hospitable and sociable in the highest degree and generous to a fault. The family have the heartfelt sympathy of their friends in this, their hour of deep est sorrow. The remains will be taken to Renovo on Friday for interment. Public Sale.

F. HART. Now Boys Here's Your Chance. Quite often the PRESS has been asked bv Cameron county boys "when will there be a vacancy in Naval Academy at Annapolis?" By reference to a notice in this issue it will be seen that Congressman S. R. Dresser, of Brad -ford, requests applicants to be at Clear field. No doubt Mr. Dresser will be pleased to give information to any young man desiring to step into the arena. We should like to see a Cam eron county boy win the prize and be come a Dewey. Should be Stopped. The bicycle "craze" has about col lapsed yet occasionally our citizens enter protests against certain wheel men who have occasion to use the convenient machine and abuse the pri vilage. Yesterday a lady while enter ing a store on Fourth street, had a narrow escape from one of these wild riders, who used the sidewalk in his break-neck speed. It should be stooped at once by the Mayor, before some one is maimed for life or killed. Baptist Church Notes. Preaching morning and evening by the pastor.

(jone to Conference. Rev. O. S. Metzler, pastor of First Methodist Episcopal church at this place during the past three years, left on Monday for Confercuco at Altoona, closing the most successful year in the history of Emporium charge. The official board met at the church parlor last Saturday and presented resolutions passed unanimously, requesting the return of Rev. Metzler to Emporium for another year—copies of the resolu tions having been sent to the officiate of Conference. Rev. gentleman ha? been untiring in his efforts to build up his church and has succeeded admir ably. It is the desire of Emporium citizens, regardless of sect or creed that this genial gentleman shall be returned to us for another year. Strong influ ence has been brought to bear to accent a large church in another part of the state, yet we believe the increased salary will not induce him to leave Emporium. We regret that the resolutions adopt ed by the Emporium Methodists were not handod us for publication and we have failed to secure a jopy cf the same. We hope to be able to announce the return of the Rev. Metzler to Em porium. Sad News. 11. R.
