KBKXSBUKG, CAMBRIA CO., PA., FRIDAY, - JANUARY 8. Itf.fT. U. S. Cossri. Btix, at Sydney, rt p rts to the stite department that Ja pan's ocean trade on the Pacific is great er than thai of the Unit h! Slates. Joseph B MtCui.LAC.ii, editor of the St. Louis Globe Demormt. was found dead on the sidewalk under his bedroom. He had recently been in ill health. A reward of $ 10,000 is offered for the arrest and conviction of the person or rrwnQ who mused the railroad acci dent at Blocton, Ala , by which 23 per sons lost their lives. The filibustering steamer, Commo dore, hound from a Florida port for Cuba, wag sunk with the loss of one life ml iavinp 8 others alloat at sea. It is reported that the vessel was scuttled by a traitor on board. Had the administration shown the firm stand against bond issues that it lias against aiding the Cuban patriots, and the same energetic disposition to hunt for law or precedent for curbing the trusts that it has for preventing con gress from recognizing Cuban independ ence, it would be held in much nigher esteem than it is now by a good many persons. Every officer in the United States navy in New York and vicinity, not now on duty, has been ordered to leport for duty at the Norfolk navy yard at once. All leaves of absence are canceled by order of the secretary of the navy, and all details abolished, as far as practi cable. This was taken very seriously by the officers, who feared it would mean trouble, and perhaps war. It is reported that the Czar has warn ed the Sultan that he will expose him self to the gravest consequences, even foreign intervention and the disintegra tion of his Empire, unless he shall seriously consider the remonstrances of the Towers and accept their advice re garding reforms in the Turkish Govern ment. A year ago the rumor of such a threat from the Czar would have created a profound sensation; to-day it causes scarcely a ripple of excitement. Until the Powers shall begin to translate their brave words with the Sultan into action uohody will believe that intervention by them in Turkish affairs is seriously in tended. A contemporary says "the general assembly, at the approaching session will likely enact an effective anti-trust law." It is hoped the statement is cor rect but the prospects are not flattering. The tendency of the Pennsylvania leg islation is in favor of trusts rather than agaiDst tbem. That was demonstrated at the last session by the speedy repeal of the law prohibiting the consolidation of competing oil pipe lines and the promptness with which Governor Hast, ings approved the bill. That the action greatly strengthened the Standard oil trust and put it in position to complete ly monopolize the storage and transpor tation of petroleum. A contemporary remarks that "it has been discovered at last that the system of mine inspection in this state is no sys tom at all." This truth was discovered long ago; but the legislature, the execu tive, the mine iaspectors. the mine own ers and all concerned have have had too strong an interest in discovering the truth. The fact is that the entire legis lation creating a squad of mining in spectors, while it has not diminished the number of accidents, has lessened the responsibility of mine owners for loss of life and limb through carelessness and neglect. For the responsibility of the owners and lessees of the mines has been substituted the responsibility of the state and its officials, which has proved to be just no responsibility at all. A New York paper says that impor tant developments will take place in the bituminous coal trade in a few days. It is learned from reliable sources that the association of soft coal interests control ling the tide water trade has been dissat isfied for some time, and it is now plan ned to reach an understanding which will be stronger and more binding than ever before. There has been continued cutting in prices, and the official quota tions lately have been nominal only. Meetings of representatives of coal com panies have been held recently in this city, Philadelphia and elsewhere to for mulate plans in aid of tidewater bitu minous coal trade, perfecting the forma tion of a new pool. The date has not yet been definitely fixed, but a final meeting will take place at an early day in Philadelphia. Cosgressmas Brosics, of Pennsylvan ia, the chairman of the house commit tee on ivil service reform, introduced a bill in Congress on Tuesday to provide for the retirement of government em ployes in the classified service. The bill creates a retirement fund by withholding 2 per cent, monthly salar ies received by clerks in the civil ser vice. Provision is made for retirement under three qualifications, each retiring clerk to receive for life an income amounting to 75 per cent, of the high est salary paid him while employed in the civil service, this income to be drawn from the retiring fund. Every person who is employed in the service twenty years and who shall have be come mentally or physically disqualified will be retired on his application or compulsorily retired.. Every person who has attained the age of GO and shall have been employed thirty years may be retired on his application. Every per son who has attained the age of 70 and leen employed in the civil service thirty jQve years shall be opmpuisorily retired. Sknat.e Jc: s, chairman of the Dem ocratic natior coniimUf e, has writteu the following letter to a disiuracii cor respondent, which speaks for itBflf: "I don't agree with the c'.ormiy new you take of our ff. .its. When we p. .lied a million more voles than Cleveland did ftur vears ago, when he was ?a:d to have carried the country by a landslide. we certainly have accomplished a reat deal, especially when we remember what the feeling of the party was when the Chicag convention met. Another ihtrg It is perfectly appropriate and ac cording to the eternal fitness of things that the return of the Republicans t the control of the government of the Uni ted St ites should at once iuvolve ijuet tions as to the foim, shape and amouut of increased taxation. Having obtained at the polls what they construe as a pop ular app.-oval of the robbery of the peo ple of their silver currency, they now lose no time in preparing for the next step the increase of taxation upon im ports and the placing of additional du ties on trade. That we are to have a higher tariff, if the incoming administration can ef feet it, appears to be beyond doubt. The only thiog to corjecture is whether it shall be be fashioned on the model of the Dinghy bill, passed by the present house of representatives at its last ses sion and modi fit d in some way this winter so as to make it acceptable to certain western Republican senators, or whether an extra penrinn will be called as 6oon as 1'resident McKinley Rets his cabinet around him, and, during next spring and summer, an elaborate, com prehensive and sweeping McKinley bill, as near as possible upon the lines of Mc Kinley's last previous effort, le put through, and the American people re called upon to face once more the ex !eriment, so often tried eiuce 1S4 of a purley protective system. The advocates of exoibitant taxation of the clothiDg, the blankets and the carpeti! of the people, says the Pittsburg 'osf, had their innings before Chairman Diugley's committee yesterday. The most outrageous demauds are put forth on behalf of the wool interest. The tax es proposed are evtn greater than those fixed by the odious McKinley law and will increase the price of every stitch of woolen fabrics used in the households of the land. This is truly a fit seascu of the year to put forth a scheme of this character in the interest of well to-do or wealthy flock owners, and at the exjvense of every wage-earning man, woman and boy in the country. One of the shep herds before the committee. from Washington county, in reply to the question whether clothing had not been cheaper under free wool, replied that most of the clothing now sold was Shod dy. He dodged telling one truth by telling a falsehood. The woolen goods now on sale are far better in quality than the people could get under the Mc Kinley tariff, and leading merchants of Pittsburg are our authority that they are from 25 to 35 per cent cheaper. It is not free wool that induces the use of shoddy, but dear wool. Common sense will teach anybody that. Under the present tariff the people of the United States have had better and cheaper wool en goods than ever before in the history of the country. Sesator Sherman says the necessities of the treasury must be met in one of three ways more revenue must be raised, or bonds must be issued, or the president must refuse to pay appropria tions that are not mandatory. The veteran senator has wholly over looked another method of relieving the treasury '8 necessities. It does not occur to him that ends may be made to meet by retrenchment. When a wise man finds that bis in come drops below his expenditure, he does not plunge into debt to maintain his style of living, or encroach on his capital, but he cuts down expenses. He does without some things that he enjoy ed when his income was ample. Thej obligation of economy is even stronger on a government than on an individual, because the government au thorities are handling other people's money, and every issue of bonds or in crease of revenue means a levy on the substance of the nation. But Senator Sherman is not alone in this conspicuous neglect of the wisest way of helping out the treasury. Not a single Republican leader has suggested the wisdom of retreuchment. The only plan suggested is to make heavier tax levies and in such a way as to add pri vate robbery to public jobbery, .The superior court of Pennsylvania decides that tree owners have some rights. The employes of a telegraph company, which had a line crossing the land of Dr. John Marshall, in Bucks county, entered upon that land to add new cross bars and wires to the poles To facilitate such additions they cut down a large number of fine shade trees growing on Dr. Marshall's place. The men were arrested, and for this wanton destruction were fined foO each, and in default of payment, to imprisonment for fifty days. They appeiled, alleging tha the destruction of these trees was neces sary to the operation of the telegraph line. The superior court of Pennsyl vania has affirmed the Bucks county sentences and the men will have to pay the fine or go to jail. This punish ment, however, is wholly inadequate to this offense, which was gross. Some sixty odd ornamental trees were destroy ed and others mutilated. It w to be hoped that Advance Agent McKinley, who is now sweating blood over his inaugural, will not overlook the 15 per cent, reduction in wages which is to go inio effect at the Illinois steel company's works February, 1. It was understood Mr. McKinley's elec tion meant steady work at higher wages not only in the steel industry but all along the line. The advance agent should explain this.

To Ite Rnri'-d fu Whiskey. Cynthiana, Ky., Jan. 4 Charles Bramlett, aged 70, died on Siturday. He owned several farms in H irrison county, and was worth $100,000. He was not regarded as eccentric, but the directions in regard to his burial are unique. Fifteen years ago he hired a f-killlul stonemason to make him a sar cophagus of blue Kentucky limestone, which is much more durable than the hardest marble At the same time he ought a barrel of the best Did Bourbon vvhiskev. He ordered that after his leath the whiskey should be poured ipon his body after it was placed in the stone cotlin. The sarcophagus was then to ie her metically sealed and placed in a grave near his residence. The first part of his lirections has been followed to the letter and he is to be buried to-day. It will take a good many horses to haul his body in the heavy receptacle to the grave. Bramlett was fond of brandy and never left the house without a llisk full in his pocket, although he never be came intoxicated. WeJiled Iter Mounded oner. Webster City, Jan. 4 The fact that her lover, Paul Sutton, had just been filled with buckshot by her father did not deter Mary Hargreaves a pretty girl of ', from carrying out her intention to marry the man of her choice yesterday. Sutton worked for Mary's father, a far mer, as a farm hand, and the farmer's daughter fell in love. Elder Hargreaves did not fancy the match, but Mary and Paul persisted in love-making1 A week ago Paul was discharged and warned to keep away. Yesterday Sutton called at Hargreave's home and asked to see his daughter. The old man grabbed a shot gun and told him to leave. Sutton hesitated, and Hargreaves emptied both barrels in mutton s siiouiuer. Mitton ran to a ueighror, who dressed the wound. Be tore me tasu was complete a note came from the young lady exprasing sympa thy and promising to meet her lover in any place he might name anil be married. The ceremony was performed an hour later at Oxford alley. Hejler l I)" called. .lev.- iorK. January .ews n:is been received r.y the Cuban junta from V- X- .1. T . Washington that the Simmr-h govern ment has positively determined to recall Captain Genera! Weylcr in Cuba Minister Taylor, it is said, informed Secretary U!ney several days ayo that the authorities at Madrid were on the point of relieving General Weyler of his command in Cuba and of appointing as his successor Captain General liivera. It is learned hat the Madrid govern ment is displeased at the fact that Geu eral Weyler with about 200.000 troojw has not put down the Cuban revolt, lie has expended large sums oi money, but so far has made no decided headway. The total result, considering Spain's out lay in life and treasure, is far from sat isfactory. Too much may have liwn exi-cted of Weyler; just as the exaction was too great in the case of Campos. Three 1'ersons SnITocated. Hanover, Pa., January 1. La.t evening the three little children of Mr and Mrs. George Duttera, who reside in the country about four miles from this place were suffocated, Mrs Duttera left home to see a neighbor, and locked her three small children and a pet dog in the house. When she returned she discovered smoke issuing from the house, and, entering through tbe front door, she fell through the door which was badly burned. She landed in the cellar. Quickly crossing the step, she ascended to the first 11 oor, where she found her three little ones with their dog, all huddled together in a corner of the room dead. It is supposed that a spark from the stove fell on the caret, causing a smothered fire and soon rilled the room with smoke and burned the floor. It Killed Him, Philadelphia, Jan. C. Edward S.

Washington January 4 It is rumor ed here to-night that France will, in the next ten days, send a large numtier of eoldiers to Martinique and hold them there in readiness to assist the paoish armv in Cuba. The presence of French troops there, anil the outspoken objec tion of France to interference by the United States, would, it is thought, have a tendency to make this government go slow. Spain, if pressed by the United States to end the war, could, it is urged, re ceive prompt assistance in the emergen cy. State Department officials do not bo Iieye there is any truth in the rumor. They say many millions of Spanish Cu bau bonds, are held in France, and that the speculators are more acxious than the French government to aid Spain. They also say that any sudden increase of French militajy forces on this side of the Atlantic would have to be instant ly and satisfactorily explained to the United States. Marred to Death. Massillon, Ohio, January 4. Mary v inters, who lived with her parents near Orangeville, in the country, was permitted to starve herself to death She had a dream, she said, in which she saw the Ixjrd descend to earth on a white cloud. The vision commanded he- to die and then disappeared into space. The dreamer had been attending pro- tractea meetings and was imbued with the doctrine of "holiness" and believed in a literal interpretation of the Scrip tures. Miss Winters expressed a deter mination to obey the will of the Lord. and from the date of her dream refused all food. Many of her friends argued with her, but others approved her course. She wasted away to a mere shadow, lapsea into unconsciousness Thursday, anil, after remaining in that condition some time, died. Hauk Cashier Suicides. Pittsburg, January 5th.

Thi provision of the bill prewont of a heated debate in the l-.oue and enate, in which the main conten tion was that the government was p ly ing loo much for armor piates. The re Iort is a very important and in many respects a sensational document. The present cot of ar mor is 3S3 per ton.

A SlMiure f'astted by the Senate New Cubau K-olut ioita, Washington, Jan. 6. The senate has passed the house bill alolishiii tht death penalty in a large numla-r of ensrs. The measure ia in the line of recent state laws aliolishing capital punishment aud applies the same prin ciple to federal ort'enses, although the change is not extended to a total aloli tion of the death penalty. The present laws, which have come down from colonial times, have a sanguinary aspect and prescribe death for 60 offenses of various character. The bill passed re duces thene offenses to rive, viz: Treason, rape, murder and two ofTeusea applicable to the army and navy. in all other offenses hard labor for life is substituted as the maximum pun ishment, and even in cases of murder pud rap hard lalmr may In: substituted if the jnry states in its verdict "with out capital punishment. As the bill has passed the house after a long cru sade by Representative Curtis of New York, and is amended but slightly by the senate it is likely to go to the presi dent when the minor disagreements are arranged in conference. During the day Mr. Call (Dem., Fla.) introduced l esolutions calling for infor mation as t the condemnation of Julio Sanguilly. at Havana, to life imprison ment.and also directing the secretary of state to demand Sangnilly's immediate release.

Representatives of the Pennsylvania and Virginia granges asked for boun ties on agricultural products. The Mas sachusetts fishermen and fish dealers and the salt importers and New York producers had interesting tilts. The southern rice growers argued the neces sity of higher protection and similar arguments were presented by Califor nia fruitgrowers, Philadelphia seed men and mar-carom makers, while import ers of Dermnda potatoer and onions wanted concessions.
