F.BENSBURG, CAMBRIA CO., TA.,
FRIDAY. APRIL. 2, 1Sj7.
Chicago Council passed an ordi
nance fixing license fees of cigarette
dealer? at 100.
Jidue Sears, the Republican nomi
nee for Mayor of Chicago, 111., broke
the divorce record by granting twenty
five decrees in five hours.
The Grand Duke Paul of Russia is so
tall that no hotel bed is long enough for
bis comfort, and he has one built in

gage everywhere.
Ciiari.es Haddox, engineer, and
Walter Dye, fireman, were crushed in a
wreck near Eagle, Ohio, last Wednes
day. Dye would have burned to death
bad not Ed. Jones, a coal miner, am
putated his arm with a pocket knife in
order to release him from his horrible
position.
Mexico lost her greatest general the
other day in the person of Guadelupe
lApez, who died from pneumonia. Gen.
Ijjpez was known as the greatest Indian
tighter in the republic. As a full-blooded
Indian, he was able to cope with the
wages with their own tactics. He was
regarded as the best officer in the army,
a ud, owing to his universal kindness,
was known all over the republic as
"Uncle iAipe." He was 05 years old.
Chairman Dingley gleefully asserts
that the taxes to be levied by his Tariff
bill will bring into the Treasury over
one hundred million dollars of increased
revenue. There is to be no further
check upon extravagance. Instead of
deficits, we shall have surpluses. This
is only another way of saying that here
after the deficits shall be in the pockets
of public stipendiaries. By so much as
the Dingleys have cause to exult the
masses have reason to despond.
So great is the change of sentiment
auiong manufacturers as to the policy
of free raw materials that if the Dingley
Tariff bill had been postponed till the
regular session of Congress in December
next the industrial revolt against it
might have quelled its champions in the
Committee on ways and means. The
fear that the manufacturers were becom
ing rapidly reconciled with the present
tariff had much more to do with this
hasty action than the pretended need
of revenue.
The tariff debate goes on in the house
and will close this week with the ex
pectation that the bill will be sent to the
senate before Saturday. It is generally
recognized that the function of the
house in considering the measure is
merely of a declamatory character, and
that it is in the senate the bill will have
to run the ordeal of thorough criticism.
The probabilities, however, are that ow
ing to the close division of the senate,
a few senators acting in concert by
holding up the bill, as Senator Quay did
the Wilson bill, will be able to give it
whatever shape they desire.
"If an American ship wants to trade
in Crete what will the government do
about it?" is the question now agitating
a large part of the public mind. Crete
being a country with which nobody is at
war and which the powers have block
aded. It is a question which is likely
to disturb the government very little,
for before it can come to' its notice in
an official way the blockade is likely to
be ended. There is little doubt as to
what ought to be done, but it is not
necessary to cross that bridge now.
Thus far the new foreign policy seems
to be working admirably. Americans
imprisoned in Cuba are being released
and there is a possibility that the right
of American vessels to proceed to Cuba
wun munitions 01 war lor uubans or
anybody else who wants them will be
recognized. This is as important as the
recognition of belligerency.
i he silver men oi the Senate are
showing no disposition whatever to im
pede tariff legislation, or to do aught, in
fact, to prevent the responsible Republi
can majority in Senate and House from
bavin g their way. Senator Teller de
clares thot everybody is willing to give
the administration ample opportunity to
restore good times. If this can be ac
complished by the passage of a new tar
iff, bill, he says, all of us will rejoice
it this method tails, Mr. uage may try,
in the words of Senator Teller, to pro
mote prosperity by withdrawing green
backs and contracting the currency
The third and last plan, if it can be
called a plan at all, would be, in the
view of the silver leader, for Mr. Me
Kinley to try his currency commission.
And Mr. Teller submits that if this
should fail the administration might
fairly be presumed to be at the end of
its rope.
J he ceremonies which are to attend
the dedication of the Grant memorial in
New York on April 27 next promise to
be of imposing magnificence. Particu
larly will the naval parade, which is to
le a feature of the ceremonies, partake
of the character of an international dem
onstration if the invitations issued to
foreign Governments by our State De
partment to take part in the same by
representative vessels of their fleets
should be generally accepted. There is
no reason in the world why they should
not be. The United States has never
been remiss when similar invitations
came from other Governments, and one
compliment deserves another. A man-of-war's
voyage has been aptly described
as extending from anywhere to nowhere
and back again, and a trip to the Hud
son would therefore not be much out of
the way for the participating battleships.
Moreover the squadrons of Europe
would certainly be better employed in
doing honor to the memory of a hero
in America than in bombarding Christ
ens in Crete.
Sisce the ret met of Mr. OIney
and the co lsequ su 3idence of the
jingoes in the . mle and elsewhere,
says the Philadelphia Time, it is harder
than ever to make out what is going on
in Cuba. The reports that come from
Havana and Key West are as contra
dictory as ever, but are much less blood
thirsty, and for some reason they have
ceased to cause excitement. And yet
the general impression deepens that the
course of events forseen by the late ad
ministration is steadily and even rapidly
developing, and that the liberation of
Cuba is approaching, not through out
side interference, but through the in
ability of Spain to continue the contest
and maintain her hold upon the island.
It is true that the recent official state
ment from Madrid, that the end of the
campaign was near, seemed intended to
convey the idea of Spanish victory, and
to-day we have from Havana a report
of disaster to the insurgents, probably
entitled to about the same degree of
confidence usually given to Cuban news,
that is meant to be reassuring to Span
iards. Yet no well informed person
believes that even the large force which
Spain now has in Cuba, weakened by
sickness, ill success and most of all by
arrears of payment, has now or in the
few remaining weeks of the present sea-
. . a l - i i
son is liteiy to nave re-esiauiisneu
Spanish authority on the island. On
the contrary, the test information,
while it may indicate little substantial
progress toward the establishment of an
organized Cuban government, points
unmistakably to the continued failure
of the war of "suppression and the time
cannot be far off when Spain must ac
quiesce from mere exhaustion in the
surrender of the position she has striven
so fiercely to maintain.
What form may be given to the final
adjustment it is impossible to predict.
The opportunity is likely to come to the
United States to forward this adjust
ment, in the interest not only of Cuban
liberty, but of the peace and security of
the Western world, and that the present
administration will be equal to this
opportunity, as the last one would have
been, we do not doubt. But we can lie
perfectly content to leave this delicate
duty to the constitutional authorities of
the country, and their task will le niai'e
much easier if there be no renewal of
the senseless and mischievous political
agitation, whose only effect in the past
has been to prolong and intensify a
strugle that would probably have been
adjusted before now if we had tried to
make it easier instead of harder for
Spain to admit defeat.
The report comes from Washington,
Bajs the Pittsburg W, that the mana
gers in control of the Dingley bill in the
house propose to check importations,
now going on to a very large extent in
anticipation of its passage, by some
sort of legislation of an ex post facto
character, forbidden, of course, by the
constitution, but which the importers
wlli have to go to law to have declared
void. In other words, a law admitted
ly unconsUitutional is to be passed to
embarrass legitimate trade and com
merce. We don't suppose anything
more immoral than this could be con
ceived. It is stated in the dispatch
from Washington that "a general feel
ing of unrest exists throughout the
country of the crippling of the new
tariff law by excessive importations,"
There may be such feeling among the
trusts, but nowhere else. The impor
tations mean cheaper goods for Ameri
can consumers, and that is precisely
what the American consumers want.
If the Republicans had desired to avoid
a "general feeling of unrest" they
should have refrained from tariff tinker
ing and confined themselves to a simple
revenue measure that would have yield
ed all the revenues necessary, and could
have been compressed into half a dozen
lines. But that would not have satis
fied the trusts.
If it 6ball prove true that the Powers
have agreed to declare a blocade of the
Piraeus and of other Greek ports the
declaration will be a matter of concern
for this Government. We have a con
siderable trade with Greece, though we
have none with Crete; and while the
blockade of the island is merely an af
front to our sympathies, the blockade
of Greece would affect our material in
terests. It may be tiue that few or none of
our exports to or imports from Greece
are carried in American bottoms; yet
American cargoes are legally as invio
lable from arrest and confiscation
whether the American Hag Hies from the
masthead of the vessel which carries
them or the flag of Great Britain, Italy or
even that of Greece floats over them.
There being no war between the Powers
and Greece, our merchants have as
much right to ship their goods into or
out of the Piraeus as into or out of
Liverpool or Hamburg; and any at
tempt to hinder them in the exercise of
their just rights by a gross violation of
the principles of international law on
the part of the Powers would evoke a
protest from our Government which
would eurely be heeded.
Leonard Rhone, worthy master of
the Pennsylvania State Grange, was at
Harrisburg on Monday to arrange for a
hearing before the house ways and
means committee on the State tax con
ference bill. Chairman Rolles will
probably fix Tuesday a week to hear the
legislative committee of the State grange
and ex-Auditor General Niles, of Tioga,
in support of the measure. Mr. Rhone
says that if the other great interests of
Pennsylvania represented in the con
ference continue to withhold their sup
port from the measure the grangers will
bolt and make the fight alone for a
change in the State revenue system.
Although the Republican county
convention will not be held until Mon
day the third day of May, the delegates
from this county to the State conven
tion to be selected at that date, are put
down as being 6olid for Quay, and we
have no doubt the estimate is correct.

W ildrat iu an hugine Cab.
Ogden, Utah, March 2S As the
westlound passenger train of the South
ern Pacific was near the extreme north
ern point of the great Salt Lake last
night, a wildcat sprang into the cab,
landing beside the fireman. The cat
was bewildered for a moment by its
strange surroundings and the roar of the
train, and then began a vicious attack
on the fireman.
Engineer Fred Freelich came to his
aid with a shovel, whereupon the animal
sprang upon Freelich, sinking its claws
into his face and shoulders. The teast
clawed, bit and scratched with fury un

the West Penn Hospital this morning of
hydrophobia, caused by the bite of a
mad dog.
James who resides on the outskirts of

driven to Braddock to make some pur
chases. Coming out of a store he found
a very small dog iu his buggy. When
ever he went near the animal showed its
teeth and snapped and snatched savage
ly at him. Finally James grabbed the
dog and threw it from the buggy. As
he did so the dog sank its teeth into the
fleshy part of James' right hand.

wife in the drawer he locked it keeping
her there, she says, five hours at a time.
She said he was not of a quarrelsome

ashmjrloH Letter.
Washington, March 27th, 1807
The McKinley taiiff bill number two got
some very hard knocks in the house this
week, and the outside pressure was so
heavy that Mr. Dingly was compelled to
announce that the ways and means com
mittee had decided to strikeout that
clause of the bill placing a duty on books
aud scientific instruments for education- '
nl institutions and add an amendment
putting those articles on the free list, as
they are at present The Democrats of
the house made the most of the almost
numleiles8 unjust and uncalled for dis
criminations made by the bill in favoi
of the few against the many, but the
speech made by Representative McMillin
naturally received the most atten ion,
both from the opponents and friends of
the bill, because of his position as the
ranking Democrat of the ways and
means committee, and because on ac
count of his long experience in tariff
matters he had been requested by Repre
sentative Bailey to make the leading
speech against the bill. In replying to
Representative Dingley's statement that
the increased burden of taxation im
posed by the bill was on luxuries, Mr.
McMillin said: "The claim that the in
creased burden is on luxuries is not sus
tained by the facts. Are coarse shawls
and knit goods luxuries? Are wool hats
and overcoats luxuries? Are knives aud
forks in this urbane age luxurifs? And
I beg with all deference to ask whether
in the state of Maine clean shirt has be
come such a rarity that it is classed with
the luxuries? I ask him when, among
Americans, the sugar that sweetens tea
and coffee lecame a luxury to farmers?
Sir, not only is the bill itself higher, but
the different schedules average above
those of the McKinley bill." Mr. Mc
Millin also called attention to the fact
that foreign governments are already
preparing to resist this new assault upon
commerce. He also reminded the Re
publicans that a purchased veidict, such
as they obtained last November, would
not be allowed to stand.
Senators and representatives have had
an excellent opportunity to observe the
sublime cheek and impudence of the in
dividual who bobbed up in the late cam
paign as ' Cousin Osborne," and who
has secured the position of consul gener
al to Indon, one of the best paying po
sitions at the disposal of hs cousin, Mr
McKinley. It seems that in seeking and
obtaining this position "Cousin Os-
Imrtie had overlooked an order ot Se
cretary OIney, issued last October, regu
lating consular fees, which has resulted
in reducing the income of consul gener
al to Ixndon from $30,000 to 40,000 a
year to about $12,000. When "Cousin
Osborne" found this out he was indig
nant, although tehre are people who say
that the reduced income of the office is
about six or seven times a much as he
has ever been able to earn in private life
Be that as it may, "Cousin Osborne"
applied to Mr. McKinley to have ihat
order of Secretary OIney's Pet aside and
the old scale of consular fees resumedi
but Mr. McKinley feared the scanda
that would follow such action on his
part, and said he would not do it unless
congress directed it to be done. This
week ' Cousin Osborne" has been per
sonally canvassing senators and Repre
sentatives to get their support for what
would be practically making him a pres
ent of something like 25,000 a year.
He hasn't received much encourage
ment.
Whether the administration will make
any use of the decision of the U. S.
supreme court sustaining the Sherman
antitrust law and including railway pools
aud agreements within its scope, is a
question that many men in congress are
much interested in. It was maintained
by Mr Cleveland's two Attorney Gener
als OIney and Harmon that nothing
could be done under the Sherman law
because of the decisions of couits against
its validity. Now that the highest
court lias reversed those decisions at A
peclared the law valid, there is an op
dortunity for this administration to clear
itself of the charge of being too friendly
o the trusts, by vigorously prosecuting
them, if it isn't afraid to do so.
The civil service law which stands be
tween the Republicans and the offices,
was very viciously attacked by Senator
Uallinger and others in the debate which
preceded the adoption without a dissent
ing vote of Senator Allen's resolution
for an investigation of the methods pur
sued by the civil service commission,
and the end is not yet. Senator Gor
man was the only I)emocrt who took
part in the debate and he merely took
advantage of the opportunity to good
naturedly nag the Republicans a little
about their anxiety to get at the offices.
If it comes to a direct vote on the re
peal of the present civil service law,
there are plenty of Democrats who will
vote "aye," although they know that it
would mean the replacing of every Dem
ocrat in a ieuerai othce by a Republican
A bill to repeal has been
introduced.

Jump d the Track.
I ittsburg, Pa., March 27. A serious
freight wreck occurred this morning at
?eima, on the West Penn Railroad,
about thirty miles from Pittst.urtr. For
tunately no one was hurt, the crew es
caped by jumping, but a number of cars,
together with their contents, were de
fcirojea, entailing a heavy loss. The
cause of the wreck could not at first be
learned, the tracks having been torn up
for a distance of 300 or 400 yards, but it
is supposed that the accident resulted
irom an obstruction on the track. Seen
freight cars loaded with valuable mer
chandise were destroyed
Shortly after the accident took place
me wreciteu cars took tire and addition
ai aamage was the result. It is thought
that the loss to the railroad company
will reach $40,000. Most of theday was
required to clear the tracks, and trains
were not running on regular time. Pas
sengeis were transferred in the neighbor
hood of the wreck this evening.

T0WS OF CHANDLER DESTROYED.
Tbe Dead and Injured Will Reach One
Hundred and Fifty Physicians All
Killed but One Assistance From Outli
ne and Other lit lea.
Guthrie, O. T., March 31. A terrific
tornado, followed by hail and flood,
swept through the town of Chandler, 40
miles east of here, completely devas
tating tne town. Three-fourths of the
residences and business houses of the
place were totally wrecked or badly
damaged, scores of people were injured
and many were killed.
Darkness at once came on, and the
work of rescue is carried on under
greatest difficulties.
The telephone office was destroyed
and a telephone was connected with
the wire two miles away and a mes.sage
was sent here for assistance. Up to
that time Mr. and Mrs. Woodman, Mrs.
Henry Mitchell, Mrs. Thomas Smith,
Attorney John Dawson and two un
known persons had been found dead
and fully 150 people were known to be
badly injured.
Mrs. Emery Foster and baby are
thought to be fatally hurt.
Chandler is a town of 1,500 people.
It is built on a hill in thick timber aud
the mass of torn trees and wrecked
houses makes it impossible to reach the
injured in the dark. On every side
can be heard groans and cries for help.
A large number of physicians and
other citizens have left here for the
gee ne with surgical instruments, drugs
and other supplies.
A later message states that a large
number of people known to have been
in business buildings are missing and it
is feared they are under the ruins.
Twenty-one dead bodies have been
taken from the rnius at Chandler.
Seventy-five to a hundred persons are
badly . injured and a dozen or more of
these are reported dying.
In addition to those dead, dying and
injured, it is believed that there are a
score or more of dead buried beneath
the wrecked buildings. Several of the
wrecked buildings have taken fire and
the debris is burning fiercely. Many
of the injured have been burned to
death while pinned fast under the
debris.
In one building, it is reported, five
injured people were burned to death,
and at another place the incinerated
bodies of three unknown children have
been taken out.
All the physicians of the town save
one met death in the storm. Nearly all
the physicians of Guthrie have gone to
the scene of disaster.
Kansas CiTy, March 81. Reports re
ceived here indicate that the cyclone
which destroyed the town of Chandler,
O. T.. also passed across the state of
Kansas, though in less destructive
form.
TWO VESSELS LOST.
It

Sax Francisco. March 31. Lloyds
agent have received word that the fine
four-masted British ship Lord Dufferin
and the British bark Ben k hoi me are
missing. All hope for the Lord Dufferin
is abandoned. There is still some hoe
for the Bankholme, but very little. The
combined crews of the ships numbered
67 men, all of whom are supposed to
have perished.
Both vessels were in the vicinity of
Montevideo on the same dates, and one
of the theories advanced is that the
ships were in collision and went down
with all on board.

for reinforcements of troops to prevent
any further advance of the insurgents
upon the Turkish positions and to oc
cupy in force for that purpose several
strategic positions.
