Thk new treaty with Japan i. now lie? fore the senate, and it is expected that it will be ratified within a fortnight. As the result of a feud letween Sem inole and settlers, five Indians were murdered in their cabin, near Santa Ro sa, Mexico. James liiunvx, who left Pitts-ton, pen niless, eight years ago, now owns the controlling interest in a silver mine in Colorado worth nearly a million. A uispatch to the Central Xews from Antong says that a Japanese division on Monday, Jecemler 10. defeated the Chinese under General I to near Kin Kwa JIu. The Chinese lost 1(H) killed and a large numlier wounded. The Japanese whose loss was only forty killed and wounded, captured two banners, ten prisoners and a large numlier of ritles Four thousand Chinese were engaged. Chinese are concentrating at Foo Chow and a Japanese brigade under (ienerai Noge is maiching to attack them. ATokio dispatch says Japan ha. noti fied China that no further peace projio sals will lie considered unless made by a regularly accredited Ambassador from the Chinese court. At the same time Japan reminds China tint it is not Ja pan but China that is suing for peace. Japan is dissatisfied with China's tem porizing jioliey, and claims that China is set-king concessions in advance of a formal conference looking to a settle ment. The London Central Xews says that China has been offered all the money that the treaty towers are likely to al low Japan to claim as indemnity on the basis of a four and a halt per cent, gold loan secured by the uncharged revenues of the treaty ports. The democratic party has had many defeats, but in IS;fi it will come up to the surface as serenely as ever, and with out a star on its escutcheon. It has outlived many parties and will out live many more. It is the party of the people- Its principals are eternal. They are the principles on which the govern ment is iouruleel. It is on the side of the plain jieople, the producers, against the classes who through trusts and com bination seek to control the industrial ac tivity of a free people. Strike down the democratic party, and you strike a blow at the lilierties of the people, and give broader leeway to those who would enslave the workingman of the country by the scheme of centralization and con solidation. Yes, the Democratic party will survive the crash and wreck of all other parties, and will live as long as hi rty itself has a name in the govern ment of a free tteople. The Pension Bureau will hereafter re fuse tensions to widows whose income, from other sources, added to the pro ceeds of a reasonable effort on their part, afford them comfortable suport. This txulicy is provided for in a ruliug of Assistant Secretary Reynolds based on the June 17,1 SIX), act. In his decision the assistant secretary says: "It was evidently the intention of congress to supplement the widow's means of supjiort from her own lalior and all other sources by the tension only when such means we re insufficient for her comfortable supjiort. Under or dinary circumstances, without intention to lay down one arbitrary and inflexible rule, when a widow is shown to have an income eons-i lerably in excess of the pen sion, provided by the third section of the act, from sources indejiendentof her daily lalior she does not occupy a pens siouable status thereunder." Senator Mokoan occupied the atten tion of the senate on Monday for two hours in a speech in favor of the bill providing for the construction of the Nicaraguan canal. He expressed him self favorable to government ownership in the enterprise, and declared that prompt action should lie taken, as to abandon the project now would be der eliction the teople would not forget. Senator Call introduced two resolutions of interest, one requesting the govern ment to commence negotiation with Spain for the recognition of Cuba's in dependence, and for the guarantee by the luited States of the payment of such a sum as shall be agreed on between the United States and Spain for Spain's re linquishment of her control of Cuba. The other resolution declared that the iutcrests of the world require that all governments shall unite in negotiating with China and Japan for a settlement of the war. The state association of county com missioners in session directed its legislative committee to draft bills for the passage of an act requiring consta Lies to make returns to the court only when violations of law have occurred; to omit registration of voters in Decem ber; requiring assessors to make the changes on their September books for the February election; to reteal the act of Ist3 regulating and establishing the fee of aldermen, magistrates, constables, etc.; providing for the certification to the state of mortgages, etc., held by any company paying taxes direct to thestate, or of rorjHtrations not resident of the State; to rejieal that portion of the act of 17V1 which provides for the payment of costs in discharged cases and to amend the law so as to compel a convicted criminal to serve at least St) days in jail for nonpayment of costs Itefore Iteing re leased as an insolvent debtor, and to re peal the act providing for the enroll ment of persons liable to military duty. The State Forestry bill, says the Philadelphia fitqm'rrr, proposes to estab lish three forest reservations, one in Pike, Monroe, Luzerne or Lackawanna counties; a second in Sullivan, Lycom ing, Clinton, Centre or Potter counties, and the third in Clearfield, F.!k, Cam eron, McKean or Forest counties. The first will cover the headwaters of the Delaware, the Lehigh anil the North Branch of the Susquehanna; the second the West Branch of the Susquehanna, and the third iioth the streams which tl w into the Susquehanna ami those like the Allegheny river, which eventu ally llow into the Ohio and find an out let in the!u!f of Mexico. A glance at the map will show that the water ways of many states besides those of Pennsyl vania will be served by the establishment of th-ee extensive forest reservations to Northern Pennsylvania. The bill also provides that at least "0 per cent, of the land to lie embraced in thtf-e reservations shall have an altitude of at least S00 feet above the sea, and it is furthermore proposed that the atten tion of the public shall be called t the importance of this region as a public sanitarium. I he discovery of the beau ty anil the healthfulness of the moun tain regions of Pennsylvania, a discov ery that has practically heeu made by the Forestry commission, will be a great benefit to the teople of the region ami to the residents of Pennsylvania cities For several years the hay fever victims, sufferers from asthma, malaria and cith er complaints have been making long journeys in search of relief, when with in six hours, ride of Philadelphia they could find everything except the crowds that they find at Bethlehem or any of the Kijuilar mountain resort. The intelligence of the state will throw all its mlluence in favor of the forestry bill ami the benefits to be derived from it, the protection from the water supplies of cities and towns, the prevention of disastrous tloods and the preservation of the forests, and will cause to tie num bered among the friends of the measure all those iersons who must see a direct and immediate return for anv outlay. Xo Democrat, says the St. Paul i!-l, need worry a minute over the defeat of Xovember ft. It will result in immense gain to the party iu the end. The spec tacle is one never la-fore witnessed in American politics that of a party wholly without a toliey winning a vic tory of stupendous proportions. The vo ters drove the Democratic tarty from power after IS months of hard times without stopping to inquire the cause of the depression. The Democratic head was up, and the voter hit it. Had a Re publican administration been in power the landslide would have I teen just as great the other way. The victory was won simply on the calamity howl, and when the teople come to study the causes of the panic of 1 '..'! calmly they will not be slow to reverse the verdict of Xovember f. Ask any Republican to day what the policy of his party is, and he will not he likely to say anything further than "to get the Democrats out!" That is good as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough to keep any party long enough in tower. Republican pa tiers admit that there is no intention of doing anything with tariff, and a majority of them are not in favor of further legislation upon silver. Both of the great questions of the day are thus put upon the shelf What, then, is the Republican majority in the lower house of congress going to do but draw ?-", OtHi a year each? In saying that the party is without a poli cy the GVn'rf does not mean to hint that it will not be industrious and very en tertaining. A glance at the list of cranks and nonenities elected to sit in congressional seats at once suggests that there will lie introduced in the Fifty fourth congress more foolish silver and other money bills than this country eve r before dreamed of. The American peo pie will in lS',t make haste to dethrone this accidental congre?ss of a period of panic. If it were not that the Populists hold the balance of power in the senate, and that a Democratic executive is in the White House, the Republican tarty, says the Chicago Thiirx, would lie in full possession of government everywhere ex cept in a few southern states. Wherein certain of the northern states overwhelm ing Republican general assemblies have been chosen, there still abide Democratic executives who may intcrMse vetoes against radical legislation. What will the Republican tarty do with its tremendous tower to le-gislate in the states? Will Iowa re-enact Prohi bition? Will Wisconsin dace the Ben nett law auew ut-ou its statute? Will Xew York take from the city the essential of home rule? How far will the Republican party go on what is pop ularly called sumptuary legislation:' How far will it go in restriction of reli gious freedom? Shrewd party managers will not let it go far, but the majority in all the legis latures is so pronouncetl that steering committees will not lie able wholly to Steer. Within the next two years we may look for some extraordinary efforts at legislatien upon the tart of the re vived Republican party, and we may hear again the cry of persons suffering from religious tersecutions or from de privation of civic right that Jhe Demo cratic tarty shall come and help the m. This tarty, however, has painful recol lections that where its aid has been giv en there has been no gratitude. But the party cannot do other than maintain its principles, principles that have never varied from its creation. It is a cham pion of civil and religious freedom. A wu deal in St. Croix river pine tim Iter has just been closed, whereby Will iam O'Brien, of St. Paul, and Captain A. S. Merriam, of Minnfapolis, secure 100.0t0,000 feet of choice timber on the Upper St. Croix river. The timlier was purchased from Hyland Brothers, of Dansville, N. Y., and (Jardener, Bach elder Welles, of Lyons, Iowa. Masl;iigUu Letter. Washington, D. C. Dec. 7, l'-4 The Democratic senators have: made earnest efforts this week to agu e upon a programme for the session. Two con ferences have been held for the excha nge of view. but the soih- old obstacle to harmony too many ehif. n ut ie-.s and too many woiiM-be l a ie:s still stands ill the way. There- i.- .-till hope, howeve-r, that some S'-rt of an agreement may be re.ii in u. Iiu II 1- nil tgeii.e'; loo muen like the hope indulged in a very sick man that he wi:i g- l Well lo please tho-t" Democrat who have no s m p n h v with the attitude n-silili' d by certain senators elected as Democrats, at the la-t .-e.-.-ion. and which is still maintained by them. They then adopted a rule or ruin policy and notwith.-tain!i:ig the ruin whieti their rule has already a-vomphsheil they stili stick to it. The Di-mocrats of the house- have de-fcrre-el heading their caucus until next wee-k s ) as to give the senators tune in which to decide what is to be ilotie, or attempted, at this -es-i'ii. That the Democrats in (Yingrcss are doing some hard thinking on the finan cial plan proposed by Seeret;ry Carlisle and endorsed by President Cieve-land is shown by their reluctance to commit themselves at th. time- e ithe r for or against the' proposed plan. The short time at the ir disposal will, of course-, in c re.-1. -e the' e hanees against the adoption of such a comprehensive tinunciil meas ure, although there- is a di-posit ion on the part of the southe rn Denioe-rats to try to pass a bill embodying that part of the plan that provides for the exemption of the currency of .-m h state banks as may adopt the ie filiations piovidi'd from feeleral taxation. President Cleve' land says he cou.-idc-is the; plan proposed by Se-e-retary Carlisle as the most state s manlike financial document cve-r sub milted to congre ss, and that he preipe .se-s to stand by it to the end of his te-rin. A Sllhcoiiuiiittce of the hoitc commit te e em banking ami currency was ap pointed at the last session to e-onshler the nume rous bills bi fore that commit tee and to formulate either from them, or as an original me asure', something to take the plaee of the national banking law. Repre sentati ve Cox, of Tennessee, is chairman ef this subcommittee, ami the other Democratic members are Cui tierns m. of Texas, and Cotib, of Missouri, the Repui:Iicans bring Bro.-ius. of Penn sylvania, and Ilaugen, of Wi.-consin. Mr. Cox says the subcommittee will hole! daily mee tings until it has agree d to some- measure to be; reported to the full committee or has demonstrated the impossibility of reaching such an agree mint. In addition to the financial hills introduccd at tin last session the sub committee will consieler the plan f r in cre'asing the currency c if the Xatioiia! banks and for the- exemption of the state bank e-urrency from federal taxa tion, under spe-ciiied e'oird.tietns, pro po.'il by Se'cretary Carlisle am! endorsed by President Cle ve land. I'lilcS.- there is a very decideel change in the attitude of membe rs of the committee there is very little' probability ef an agm-menl being reacheei. more's the pity, hr something ought to lie' done . Chairman iJ'.and, of the house e oin-age- committee, say.- he will endeavor to get that committe e to re port his free ce linage bill to tin house', and if the com mittee doe-s so the bill will ceitainly pass the house. While it is known that a majority of the coinage committee favor free e-oinage, the re are several of them who would not vote- to re port the bill ti the he. use- at the la-t session, be cause they knew it I'ollld Hot possibly Lecomi a law. Whether any of these gentle men have change-d the ir minds remain. to be seen. The "Press Claims Ce,.." of Washing ingtem, we ll known to the publishers of the country through its schemes to ob tain adve rtising. is once more before the courts, as defendant, in a suit which has bee n brought by a k'ansa.-City publisher, who wants pi in e-a.-h for the adver tising he has done for the- "Press Claims Co.," instead of the worthless shares of stock in that eomimny. which he says were misrepresente d when the- original contract, which he now wants canceled, was made. The suit is against John Widderburii, manager of the "Press Claims Co ," and W illiam Hearst, of the "Examiner Bureau of Claims." Mr. Hearst has no councc-tion with the e on eern, he having in a .-nit against Wed derburn re-pudiated the whole business, but he was at one time associated with Wedde rhurn. or rather his name and that of his pa er. the S;,n I'ra: c.sco .V nmiiii,. was, in the' Kxamine-r Bureau i f Claims:" hence his figuring in the prese-nt suit. Xolwithstanding the black e ve given the Xicaragua canal bill by the failure of President Clev- laml to e ndors- it in his message, the friends of that me asure are preparing to make a determined i f fort to push it through the house. Its principal opponents are Democrats who l-elie-ve the mea.-ure' to be- unconstitu tional, and w ho say the y will defeat it if possible. ' m Cat hetlie s anil secret Societies. St. Paul.

Children Starved to Death. An investigation has been instituted by the Chief of Police of Harrisburg into the charges made by Agent Ixonard of the Society for the Prevention of cruelty to Children, that many little ones whose lives are insured iu child insurance com-panie-s are heingstarved by their parents to secure the blood money. Leonard claims to have found a numlier of cases the past month where children were so insured and are actually a lie nved to starve to death by the ir parents. The plan of those companies is to in sure the child in much the same manner in which an adult is insured, though the premium is much larger. Fines aad elues net the companies quite a large sum. In many cases where children are so insured, e very care is taken of the child, as though the death would not bring a monied value. But in many ca.-es the re verse is the course pursued by the parents. The agents of the com pany work largely among the lower antl worst classes. Mr. Leonard is quoted as saying: "The only way to put an end to this child murder will Ik to make the com panies cease to oj-eiate in the state, t ur Society will make a strong light in this direction during the coming session of the h-gislature. and I have evidence enough myself, aside from what other agents all over the state jtosse-e, to win the fight. I think the end is at hand." Cemiitiilteel Suicide. Bradford, Pa.. DeceniUr 12. An drew .leutter, an oil producer, committed suicide at his home m (iilnmre near here, this morning by shooting himself with a shot gun. Mr. Jeutter, for some time past has been operating in the? Ohio oil field. He returned from that field abeiut three weeks ago and has since lieen in bad health. This morning he rose and ate his breakfast as usual, and after the meal went up stairs. As he was passing out of the dining room he picked up a shot gun belonging to his son Stl, and carried it upstairs. Mrs. Jeutter heard him enter Sol's r torn, where: he got a loaded shell and slipped it into the gun. He then walked to the head of the stairs and, placing the gun barre l against the sicie of his head, pulled the trigger. The top of his head was blown off and the blood and brains were spat-te-reel upon the walls and ce-iling. He leaves a w idow, live sons and two daugh ters. A Daring Rohbery. Brockway ville, Pa., Deecnibcr 1'2. A daring hold up occurred iu this village last night. Two masked men entered K. B- Covilll's jewelry store at s o'clock and covering the proprietor with revol vers, ordered him to Hold up his hands. Mr. Coviil did as directed. While one of the men aimed his revolver at Mrs. Coviil who was present, the other rilled Mr. Covill's pockets taking his watc h pocketbook containing $IK The rubier.-- then turned out the lights, tii'd Mr. Coviil'- hands behind his back, and at tempted to gag him, Mr. Coviil ealled for help. The robber w ho was tying him exclaimed to the other: "Don't shoot, we don't want to swing for this." He then tulled out a billy anil struck Co viil a blow on the head and the two dashed feir the door. A couple of men came up at this time, but the robbers drove them to cover by firing three shots at them and then escape d. ( liarged Vtith V) ite .Murder. Wiiliamsport. Intl., December lO. Several months ago Mrs. William Droll inger, living near Covington, died very suddenly and there were suspicions that she had met with foul play. Some time in July the coroner ordered a post mor tem, and Dr. W. W. Peters, of Lafay ette, was employed to make an analysis of the conte nts of the stomac h. As the result of this arsenic was found in .-u!li-cient quantities to produce death. Dur ing the last wee k there: was a session of the grand jury and Drollinger was iu dictecl for wife murder. The accused is a well-to-do farmer. Several years ago Drollinger" first wife died under suspic ious circumstances, as it is now alleged and there is talk of exhuming her re mains to discover if arsenic caused her death. .Meeting of Coal Miners and Operators.
