EBF.SSBURO,
CAMBRIA CO., PA.,
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY -Mi, IS-.O.
The KaDgss senate, by resolution,
has exprtf-sed its opposition to the rati
fication of the ADglo-American arbitra
tion treaty.
A bill that passed the senate a few
days ago proposes a novel experiment
in the postal card system. Its purpose
is to allow the circulation, by mail, of
the postal cards and envelopes, with
coupons attached, patented and owned
bv a West Virginia corporation, at reg
ular postal card and letter rates, "paid
on presentation of the coupons from the
said cards and envelopes when detached
at the office of delivery." The post -master-general
is to test the practical op-
eration of the plan in one or more cities
and to suspend its operation if the test
proves unfavorable. It is to facilitate
aad extend the money order system.
The special train which will couvey
Tresident-elect McKinley and his guests
from Canton to Washington will be
known as the "Pennsylvania Railroad
Venetian Red," all the cars composing
the special being finished in that tint
within and without.
The train will consist of one baggage
car. one diner, two Pullman sleepers,
the Ardon and Itelpbos, for the accom- ing retrenchment and a reduction of ex
modation of the inaugural committee cessive salaries is a line of action that is
and representatives of the press, and two
f-necial cars which will be occupied by
Major McKinley, his family and persou-
al friends.
The train will leave Canton on Mon
day. March 1st. at 8 p. M., and arrive in
Washington at 11 a. m. March -ud.
Among the plans formulated to secure I
money to meet the expense of a new j
capitol is a bill introduced by Kepresen-1
tative Bliss, of Delaware county, which I
provides for these additional taxes: One I
mill on each dollar of personal property, I
except public loans; one mill on each I that the financial troubles of the coun
dollar of the actual value of capital stock; J try should not be made greater than
one mill upon each dollar of all the gross
receipts; two per cent, on the gross pre-
minms of forign insurance companies
and those of other states; one mill on
par or actual value of the shares of all
banks, savings institutions and national
banks; one per cent, on all such annual
net earnings or incomes as are mention
ed in act of 1SS9; one dollar on every
hundred of collateral inheritance. Mi.
Bliss estimated an increase of $2,31,
271 in the revenue under his bill.
While the Eastern cotton mills have
not been as busy as they would like to
be, the Southern mills are running on
full time, and all that are properly man
aged are earning dividends. Governor
Bullock, of Georgia, a large manufactur
ers says: "There is no reason whatever
for th southern mills to make a reduc
tion. It is a finer grade of cotton goods
with which the market seems to be over
s'octeu, and these grades are made in
the East, and not in the South. Down
here we manufacture the coarser mate-
terial, and we can sell all we can make."
The result will be that Eastern capital
will flow Southward, and that the indus
trial fabric of that section of the coun
try will build itself up along natural
lines without relying upon the federal
government to help it along to prosper
ity.
A case involving the construction of
the fence law was before Judge Savidge,
of Northumberland county, last week,
Lydia Erdman brought suit against her
neighbor, Emanuel Gottshall, for dama
ges done to her corn by the latter's cat
tle. The decision of the court is of in
terest to every farmer. He charged that
the law formerly required a man to
fence against his neighbors' cattle; but
that now under the statute every man
must fence against his own cattle, and
that he must do at all hazards, no mat
ter if it take a fence 10 feet high. If
one's own cattle get out and do damage
to his neighbor the owner of the cattle is
liable for the damage done; unless it
can be shown the cattle were let out by
a trespasser, in which case the party
damaged would proceed against such
wrong doer.
Is 1S90, in order to reduce redundant
revenue, prohibtive protective duties
were laid upon many articles of import
and a cut of $55,000,000 was effected by
putting sugar on the free list. In 1S97,
in order to make good deficient revenue,
there is to be no lowering of needlets
protective rates, but the sugai tax is to
be restored and wool is to be re taxed
Sugar is thu6 made the convenient cover
fur protective plunder whether it be
necessary to increase or to decrease rev
enue. A light tax on sugar would have
provided revenue to cover the existing
deficit without disturbing any other
items Of tbe tariff schedules oreiu harass
ing the business of the country; but a
programme of that kind did not suit
the trusts. They are hungry for larger
opportunity to prey upon consumers:
and they will not be denied.
A ludicrous betrayel of the office
mongering mania of the Kepuplican
party is found in a bill which has passed
the bouse and is now pending in the
Senate. The bill, which had its origin
in Pennsylvania, provides for twelve
commissioners and for four attorneys to
"investigate" in any part of the United
States such grievances as the people may
present to them. The annual salary of
the commissioners and their attorneys
is to be $5,000. Since this commission
could do nothing for the redress of
grievances would not seven, or live, or
even three commissioners with one at
torney suffice? The answer to this ques
tion might be easy enough but for the
consideration that several walking dele
gates of labor organizations, besides a
number of other politicians have an
oblique eye upon the enug sinecures for
which the bill provides.
At a meeting of Chester county
grangers, last week, says the Westmore
land JhwM-nit. they adopted resolutions
urging the eeneral assembly to inaugur
ate rigid economy and reduce the sala
ries of all State officials at least Lo per
cent. While the suggestion is a good
it is likely to fall on deaf ears.
The oresent geueral assembly does only
what Boss Quay tells it to do, just as
iko lact l:ris!tiire did. It will be re
membered that the general assembly of
lS'Jo, instead of ieducing the already
large salaries of State officials, increased
those of a number and created 55 dis
tinctlvely new cilices at an annual cost to
the taxpayers of the commonwealth of
$130,000. There was no pressing need
for many of these new offices, except to
reward certain of Quay's factional hench
men.
With extravagance such as the above,
together with rugs in some of the de-
i . . . , t - i .-. . : ei mill

chairs costing flOO each, and in many

surprising that tne state treasurer re
ports a probable deficit at the end of the
next fiscal year, November 30, of near
$4,000,000 in state finances. Not only
the Chester county farmers but the
farmers of every other county in the
commonwealth should demand a return
to a basis of propor economy on the
part of the legislature and state goveru-
ment. The adoption of rtfeolutions urg
very good in its way. lo give the de
mands embodied in the resolutions force
and effect, however, they should be fol
lowed by votes at the ballot-box in the
same direction.
There need be no surprise among the
people because the appropriations of the
present congress excess those of the fa-
mous billion dollar congress. It is true
the people's representatives were care-
fully and frequently informed that there
must be economy in expenditure, a sav-
iDg wherever saving was possible, so
they are. But what do the people know
about the great games of politics, like
game of "pigs in clover," circulating
about Washington and having their cen
ter in Washington? The ieople never
get in it. The gentlemen who gave
their money to assure the election of
McKinley knew that if congress were
ecnomical there could be no increase of
tariff taxation, while on the other Laud
if congress 6hould spend an enormous
. - . - t
sum ol money tne national revenue
would be made to appear appallingly in
sufficient and the imposition of higher
duties take on the guise of a great ne
cessity. They have won the game.
Chari.es N. Ckewsos, of the Univer
sity of Chicago, who was prominently
connected with the Bryan league of col
lege league clubs during .the late cam
paign, has received a letter from Chair
man James K. Jones, of the Democratic
national cammittee, urging upon him
the importance of reorganizing the clubs
and staiting at once a "campaign of ed
ucation" in the interest of free silver
for the presidential election of l'JOO.
Senator Jones further stated that he
had written similar letters to educationl
institutions in various parts of the coun
try. He said it was the intention to
make Harvard college the head of the
reorganization and work in the east, the
University of California on the Pacific
coast, Nebraska university in the west,
and Chicago university and the Univer
sity of Virginia in the south and middle
west. Last week a meeting was held at
Chicago university, of members of the
old college Bryan clubs, and a perma
nent organization formed for active
work among the colleges.
At a state convention held at Grand
Rapids, Mich., on Friday, of last week
of the siver Democrats, silver Republi
cans and Populists to select a candidate
for justice of tbe supreme bench and a
regent of the University, the middle-of-the-road
Populism refused to fuse and
held a convention and nominated a
ticket of their own. The fusionisls
adopted resolutions which reaffirmed the
Caicago platform, declared that free and
unlimited coinage of both gold and sil
ver at the ratio of 16 to 1 was the para
mount issue and the only solution of
the present business depression; oppos
ed the retirement of the national paprr
money and replacing it with notes is
sued by banking corporations, and de
clared that W. J. Bryan was the great
est living exponent of Jeffersonian prin
ciple and the true friend of the people
and the logical standard bearer for Dem
ocracy is 1100.
A hand of Spanish guerrillas com
manded by Major Taso, is reported to
have captured the heights of Montevari,
putting over 100 prisoners to the sword.
The heights were partially fortified, and
a number of Cuban families were there,
numbering about 100.
Taso had the aid of a deserter from
the camp, and, making a night attack,
surprised the place, and after three hours
hard fighting captured it. About 10O
insurgents eseapt d, but the others and
many women and children were cap
tured. Drawing the prisoners up in line
the Spanish trcops shot them down in
cold blood and then put to death the
children, reserveng the women and girls
for soldiers. The bodies were flung
down the heights, completely choking
up a small gorge.
Following the custom which has pre
vailed for many years, President Cleve
land on Wednesday issued a proclama
tion so as to enable the senate to con
tinue in session after the expiration of
the terms of thirty of its present mem
bers at noon on tbe 4th of March next,
and (after the qualification of the re-elect
ed senators) to participate in the inaugur
ation of the new president of the Uni
ted StaUs and to confirm his cabinet.
VT ashing! on Letter.
Washington, February 20th, 1S07.
Secretary Morton may get another rep
rimand from congress to file away with
those he has al ready received, if it shall
be pr iveu that two women weae dis
charged by his orders from the U. S
Buieau of Animal Industry tt South
Omaha, Nebraska, for no other crime
than exhibiting pictures of Hon. W. J
Bryan iu their windows duriug the late
campaign. Senator Alleu's resolution
calling upon the civil service commis
sion for a full explanation of the dis
missal of those two women was this
week adoptid by the senate after Mr
Allen had delivered a few caustic re
marks thereon, in which he said that
the treatment he received from the civil
service commission while in search of
information about the matter was a vio
lation of all the decencies and proprie
ties of official life, and idcidentally de
nounced the civil service commission
as a fraud, a delusion and a snare. Sen
ator Allen said he thought the discharge
of these two women was aggravated by
the fact that six other women in the
same establishment had exhibited Mc
Kinley's pictures and were not even rep
this rimanded for it.
Congress is just beginning to realize
that some very lively hustling has got
to be done to get the regular appropri
ation bills through on time, and many
are Dredicting that all of them will not
get through. It Is quite certain that
nnt much else will tet through, and for
some people are thankful.
If, as many suppose, the statement
that Chauncy M. Depew will be appoint
ed Ambassador to England, which has
come from those close to Mr. McKinley,
was put out as a feeler to ascertaiu how i
the senate would regard the payment of
the debts of the last campaign to
the millionaire element by giving
them honorable positions, it has served
its purpose, even if the result isn't al
together satisfactory to either McKin
ley, Hanna, or the millionaire contrib
utors to Hanna's election fund. Sena
tors have made it plain that they would
make a fight on the nomination of Mr.
Depew, or any other man, whose rela
tions to the Vanderbilts, Pierrepont
Morgan and other corporation control
lers make it apparent that the nomina
tion is made in payment for campaign
contributions. This opposition might
not be strong enough to defeat a man
whose personal friends are as numerous
as those of Mr. Depew, but it will inaks
statements which will stir up public
opinion lo such an extent that Mr.
McKinley will be certain to regret hav
ing made the nomination, if he does it
Republicans would gladly let the mon
ey ques ion drop, that is, the leaders of
the party would, but it continually crops
out in both house and senate, and eve
ry time it does the monetary chasm in the
Republican party, which was temporari
ly bridged by the bimetallic plank of the
St. Louis platform, is seen to widen.
"Little Billee" Chandler stuck a red flag
on top of that plank and shook it mean
ingly in McKinleyrs face when he made
that bimetallic speech in the senate,
while eastern memlers of the house, es
penally Fowler, of New Jersey, and sev
eral New Yorkers, openly repudiated
that plank while opposing before the
house coinage committee the hill au
thorizing a monetary conference.
Although the" rejiorted row between
Sjeaker Reed and Representative B:iu
teile, of Me., has been repeately denied
by others, neither of the principals have
aid a word. Ihey do not speak to each
other when they pass, and members of
the house are wondering how Botitelle
will fare when Reed makes up the com
mittees ot the next house, lie is now
chairman of tbe naval committee
It is stated that senator Frye has
abandoned his right to succeed Senator
Sherman as chairman of the committee
of foreign relations and that the place
will go to Senator Davis, of Minn., who
is now third memkr of the committee,
if the Republicans are allowed to fill the
committee vacancies that will exist af
ter March 3. There is some interesting
gossip in connection with Senator trve.
As secoml member of the committee he
is entitled by all the precedents of th
senate to the chairmanship, but he is
said to have abandoned his claim le-
bause he was told that a ficrht would be
in caucus to keep him out of it on ac
count of his Cuban sentiments The
friends of Cuba will Vie glad to see Sena
tor Davis at the head of the committee;
they have not forgotten the red hot
speech for free Cuba he made early in
the present Sf-ssion.
The receipts of the postollices of the
country are regarded as an indisputable
barometer of the condition of business
A statement given out this week by Post
master General Wilson shows the gross
receipts of 30 of the postollices in the
largest cities for January IS'.m; and Jan
uary l'.'T. Twenty of the offices show
a decrease, the greatest in years. An
other proof of the delay in the arrival of
promised prosperity, and another proof
that those who declared business Ug.in
to improve the day after the election
were mistaken. j.
Cameron May go to Kussia.
Washington. February 21. It is re
ported here, and apparently on good au
thority, that Senator Cameron can have
the Russiau mission if he wants it. It
is also understood that he regards
the matter very favorably. He succeed -his
father the late Simon Cameron, in
the senate, and has served 20 years, the
length of the elder Cameron's three
terms. Simon Cameron was secretary
of war in Lincoln's tirt cabinet and his
son held the same position during the
last of President Grant's second term.
When Simon Cameron left Lincoln's
cabinet he was jnade minister to Russia,
and it is said that his son Is not unfav
orable to the idea of accepting this po
sition now, which would erfect the line
of succession from father to son. If,
however, he should not accept, it is said
that the place will le tendered to C. C.
Harrison, of Philadelphia, provost of the
University of Pennsylvania. The Rus
sian mission is regarded as being con
ceded to Pennsylvania if a suitable per
son will accept. Contrary to general
opinion, it is now said that Senator
Cameron does not intend to retire from
active participation in Pennsylvania pol
itics. He will remain in politics and
proposes to be a factor in political af
fairs. County Infirmary lturnrd.

Washington, February H. The navy
department has received a telegraphic
application from Mayor Carlson, of San
Diego, for permission for , the British
cruiser Com us. now at that port, to land
its forces to take part in the great land j
parade on Washington's birthday. Ad- J
miral Beardilee, with the flagship Phila-
delphia, the coast defense vessels Mon
terey and Munadnock and the cruiser
Marion are also at San Diego, and sever
al hundred men trom his fleet wiil take
part .in the demonstration. It was
deemed a graceful compliment on the
part of the Biitish commander to offer
his men on such a patriotic occasion, but
as the authority to act vpon the matter
seems to rest with the state department
the request has been referred to Secreta
ry Olney. The usual procedure would
be for the British embassador to request
permission fur the crew of the Gonitis to
land with arms, and, ordinarily, such a
request would be referred to the governor
of the state for his approval Iiefore the
president authorized the landing,
It does not seem, however, that there
is anything to prevent the governor of
California granting the desired permis
sion without recourse to tne national
government, although a precedent might
oe establshcd by such action which
might be embarrassing in the fuure
Foreign troops were landed at New i ork
during the Christopher Columbus naval
review, but to this function foreign na
vies had been officially invited. It is
the custom when commanders of
American warships desire to land men
for drills on foreign shores to apply to
the local authorities, who, in turn pro
cure the neirssary peiniit from the cen
tral authority.
Buried Under Miow Mides.
Denver, February 21. Snow slides
have wrought much damage, and at
least two livfs were lost in the past 24
hours. Mail Carrier J. E Bell was
caught in a slide under about 25 feet of
snow. Rescuing parties took off 15 feet
directly over him, and then gave him up
for dead. He lay unconscious until S
o'clock this morning. When his senses
returned hi- heard water tru-kliug. This
water had brought him air and saved his
life. He dug to the stream and then to
the surface. Theu he walked three
miles to the nearest house and fell un
conscious as soon aa he realized he was
saved. James Petty was carried over a
precipice with a pack train yesterday,
most of the burros being killed and him
self only slightly injured.
A snow slide caught the cabin of the
C'eopatra mine, lioskln, killing Martin
Mehny and injuring his three partners.
His relatives live in Pennsylvania. At

Cleveland, February 10. The family
of Jacob Ciclez,. of No. ff3 Canal street,
was almost completely wiped out of ex
istence this morning by a holocaust of
Maine. Eight persons were burned and
live will probably die. Jacob and Mary
Ciclez, husband and wife, were fatally
burned, and their four children, who are
under six years of age, received severe
burns. Albert Jerno and Joseph Jerga,
boarders, were also badly burned.
Ciclez arose about 5 o'clock to light a
fire, acd mistook the gasoline lamp for
the kerosene lamp. The result was a
terrific explosion when he applied the
m itch.
The greatest difficulty was experienced
in getting the family out of ied and in
to the yard. AH of them are now at the
General Hospital.
The father and mother and three of
the chidren are dying.

that the great powers have requested
Greece to withdraw her forces from the

London, Feb. 24. The parliamentary
secretary for the foreign office, Mr.
George M. Curzon, has read dispatches
in the house of commons from the Brit
ish consular Greece confirming the an
nouncement made that an armistice of
one week had been arranged b twi i n
the Mussulmans and Christians at Si li
nos, island of Crete, at the instance of
the British, Italian and Russians con
suls. Mr. Cnrzon added that the consul has
done his best to calm the Christians,
intimating to them that the solution of
the Cretan troubles depended 011 the

made a jrreat impression the dispatches
of the consul further stated the armis

tain death should a Greek war vessel
appear there.
From an interview wnich the consul
had with the insurgent chiefs the gov

outbreak at Sehnos was due entirely to
the belief that the Christians had been
massacred at Canea and to the encour
agement received from the presence of
Greek warships and soldier-.
Both Christians and Mussulmans, ac
cording to the consul, declared that or
