FRIDAY, APRIL tM, I. 7
James B. Axgki.i., president of the
Jlicbigan university has been appoint
ed." minister to Turkey
The entire National Guard of the
slate will ' attend the unveiling of the
Washington Monument, Philadelphia,
May 15.
At Patterson, the home of Vice Pres
ident Ilobart, which gave a Republican
majority of 4,000 last Xolember. the
Democratic candidate for mayor has
been elected by 1,500 majority.
Ix is proposed to again tax the wool
i t the poor ma i's coat, but the million
aire's income will not be touched by the
present Republican congress. The plain
people, those who labor and earn their
bread by the sweat of their faces, must
bear the burdens of the government and
promote the glory of the Republican
party.
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee met at Ilarrisburg, on Wednes
day and re-elected John M. Garman, of
Nanficoke, as state chairman and select
ed Reading as the place for holding the
next state convention. The time for
holding the state convention was left for
the executve committee to determine,
bnt it is probable the date will not be
decided upon until after the date of the
Republican state convention has been
fixed.
In their growing embarrassment the
Republicans of the Senate are disposed
to follow the example of the Democrats
in ISO! in adjusting tariff differences.
They propose to pass the bill as it shall
come from the Senate Committee on
Finance, leaving to the committee of
conference of the two Houses the final
task of compromising all conflicting
claims and interests. Such an experi
ment, if tried, would be likely to result
just as it did in 1S94 in a conflict in
committee of conference, at the end of
which the House was compelled to
swallow whole the bill of the Senate or
get no bill at all. The latter alternative
would by no means be unacceptable to
the country in its strong repugnance to
the threatened disturbance of the entire
tariff schedules.
Ix one year under the McKinley tariff
we imported 172,000,000 pounds of
foreign wool. In one year under the
Wilson bill we imported 200,000,000
pounds. That is, under free wool in
the total wool supply the American wool
growers had 40 per cent of foreign com
jietition, and under the McKinley law
f.7 per cent of foreign competition,
only 10.3 per cent less than under the
Wilson law. This means that one
third of our woolen factories depend
on fcreiea wool, and would be shut
down if the itolicy of the Ohio shep
herds prevailed and prohibitory duties
le established on wool that we do not
grow or even want to grow, that is, low
grade carpet wools.
Rkoker FJvertou li. Chapman, who
refused to testify whether Senators had
speculated in sugar stocks while the
Wilson Tariff bill was before that body,
will have to spend thirty days in the
District of Columbia jail and pay a fine
of $100, as Chief Justice Fuller, of the
United States Supreme Court, on Mon
day decided against Chapman's appeal
from his conviction and sentence. And
the probabilities are that President II.
O. llavemyer and Treasurer John E,
Searlcs, of the Sugar Trust, will under
go similar punishment, as their case is
similar to that of Chapman, and the in
tlictments against them and Brokers
McCartney and Seymour and Corres
pondents Siiriver and Edwards will all
be pressed and the trials of allexeept the
liewspaper men are practically certain
to go the same way as that of Chapman
The newspaper men claim that their
cases are differentiated by their asser
tion of a professional right to refuse to
divulge the source of their information;
but this may not stand the test of trial.
The tariff-mongers, says the Phila
delphia lit ami, are again piling up
fantastic rows of figures to show the
billions of money which the farmers
and manufacturers of the country have
lost (in their minds) through the wicked
Democratic tariff of 1S04. But there
are a few substantial facts which the
huge fabric of statistical ignorance and
knavery is incapable of shaking. One
is that under the existing tariff, with its
wise policy of free raw materials, the
exports of American manufactures are
expanding beyond all precedent in com
mercial history. Although England
and Germany have a great and pros
perous export trade in manufactures,
this country is now making greater
progress than either of them in the
same field. Another significant fact
which tariff-mongering statistics cannot
rebut is the eagerness with which Ameri
can manufacturers are availing them
selves of the opportunities of obtaining
free supplies of wool, hemp, flax, jute,
lumber and other raw materials of their
industries before the Dingley bill shall
obstruct their markets.
So rapid has been the reaction of sen
timent in favor of ''the existing Tariff
law that had the Dingley bill been post
poned to the regular session of Congress
in December next the manufacturing
and commercial interests of the country
would have risen in mass against it. In
the presence of this, healthy reaction the
only resort of the tariff-mongers is to
the production of fraudulent and fan
astic statistics in order to deceive the
public. The fraudulent array of figures
of imaginary losses of agriculture and
manufactures through the existing tariff
is as simple and easy as turning sixes
upside down and making nines out of
hem.
Dk. 8 allow has been making an in
vestigatioa of the supplies required at
th- Slate Capitol, and the results are
astonishing.
In the matter, of soap, for instance,
he finds the following amounts desig
nated fof the present year: Twenty
boxes of Elder Flower Soap, 24 pieces
in a box, at $4 25 a box, aggregating
$85; 45 dozen German Glyceiine soap,
at $5 perdozen, aggregating $225; two
dozen Tar soap at $4; 36 dozen Cuticura
at 2 25 a dozen, aggregating 81; 60
dozen Colgate's Superfine, at $4 per
dozen, aggregating $240; 18 dozen Col
gate's sand soap, aggregating $13.50;
175 pounds of Yarritu Castile, aggre
gating $52.50; 10 pounds of Williams
soap at $4 50 making a total of $504.
50 for fancy soaps for one year, to
which must be added $318 for scrub and
cleaning soap, making a grand total for
the year for soaps of all kinds of $S53 -50.
And here are the towels required for
last year: One hundred and eighty-five
bath towels, costing $150; 60 finer bath
towels, aggregating $75; 300 homestitch
ed hue, aggregating $225; 26 old bleach,
at $45; 80 common, at jf 16; 144 hand
hue, at 36; 1.200 Bird's eye hue, at
$300, hemstitched" with words "Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania," the whole
aggregating S74. And the require
ment for the present year is even
greater, 1,342 towels being listed, at an
aggregate cost of fV17.
Three thousand dollars' worth of
flowers are to be added to the already
large collection in the conservatory.
"One hnndred bushels of grass seed"
are to be sown on the Capitol lawn, at a
co6t of 280, and the growth is to be
assisted by "five tons of ground bone,"
costing lo, and "2,000 pounds of
nitrate of soda, listed at S0.
During 1S'.6 the bill for bay rum in
the Capitol barber shop was 55.
For the present year over 800 cuspi
dors are being bought for something
ltke 1,000, and 2G1 is to be expended
for rubber mats, on which these cuspi
dors are to stand.
Three hundred and sixty boxes of
shoe blacking are required for the year,
costing 36.
Six hundred dollars will be expended
on office clocks.
These are but trifling samples of the
way the money of the taxpayers 'of
Pennsylvania is being squandered under
the system of bossism which now rules
the State.
There is some belief, says the Harris
burg Patriot, and not altogether with
out plausibility, that the war which has
just broken out between Greece and
Turkey is the beginning of the war be
tween cross and crescent. There is a
greater belief that such a war is inevit
able. It is not altogether unlikely. And
when such a war shall come it will be
practically impossible to determine who
will have been the aggressors, who most
responsible for the resultant bloodshed.
ai present me war is not between cross
and crescent but between two neighbors
who were never cordial in their rela
tions but always quarreling with or with
out pretext. lurts ana ureeics are
fighters and have been always, and
almost any excuse for a ruction between
them has been usually satisfactory.
If any universal policy of war spring
from the present fighting it will not be
one of destruction to cross or cresent
but the overthrow of governments which
are inimical to human liberty. Turkey,
with her position, a veritable inter
loper in Europe, with her policies of
individual repression and bloodshed,
daily violated all the tenets of liberty
which her neighbors held sacred, and is
the first to feel their resentment.
Others will follow in their turn and all
the autocratic governments may make
a final stand against the spread of freer
government, but the result is fore-or
dained. The struggle, however, will not
be immediate, but will probably spread
over the greater part of the next cent
ury.
The only likely immediate effect of
the present war, upon other powers,
may be the embroilment of certain
European states. German officers are
known to be aiding the Turks. This
will naturally arouse indignation and
perhaps induce the sending of other
Europeans to help Greece and there is
a satisfactory beginning. The powers
m ust stop the fight or go into it. But
it will probably not be cross against
cresent for awhile.
It is strange how dead Mr. Diugley
and the other Republican leaders are to
the significance of contemporary facts,
At the very juncture when the supreme
court of the United States has struck an
astonishing and shattering blow to the
organization of business on the plan of
conspiracies to prevent competition, we
see the newly restored party pu'ting all
its power at the service of the trusts, and
devoting its energies openly to the Irani
ing of a scheme of taxation which is ob
viously and notoriously based on the
undemocratic and nefarious principle of
public taxation for private profit. The
party apparently without the slightest
consciousness of what it is really about,
is sentencing tne protective system to
death and committing suicide. The
people are swiftly coming by evolution
to the point where they will determine
whether they are to rule the trusts or
permit the trusts to rule them, and the
Republican party in congress is going
ahead in the sight of all men doing its
best to strengthen and arm the trusts for
the battle with the people.
The war news caused great excitement
in the cities among the speculators in
bonds, stocks and wheat. Prices went
up and down and some lost or won for
tunes. The flunctuations were rapid.
Advices from England showed an ad
vance of C cents per bushel at Liver
pool. May wheat closed at 75 cents,
but some was bought at t 8 cents, for
both May and July.
Robbers Roasted the Victims.
Findlay, O , April 17. The famous
Blakesley family, living three miled
from this city, were robbed and tortur
ed at 3 o'clock this morning by twelve
masked robbers. The family consifts
of Mrs. Kelieeca Blakesley, Eiiza Blakes
ley, a daughter, and John and Smith
Biaksley, sons. They are the posses
sors of valuable oil fields and are known
as misers. By common report for years
they have hoarded money in the house.
The burglars broke into the bedroom
where all four people were sleeping, and
a desperate fight ensued. Both John
and Smith were beateu into insensibility
and Mrs. Blakesley and the daughter
were bound hand an foot. Torches were
applied to their feet to make them re
veal the hiding place of the treasures,
without avail.
Some of the robbers meanwhile were
ransacking the house and found in a
bureau drawer $5,000 in bills and three
gold watches. Eliza was the first to re
lease herself from bondage and sum
moned held from the city.
John Blakesley is in a critical condi
tion aud it is feared he will die.
Smith's head was cut open and the feet
of both women are badly burned.
Butchered With an Ax.
Barbonrsville, W. Va , April 19 A
tragedy that for ghastly details surpass
es any crime committee: in mis vicinity
during recent years, occurred last night
near here. Mrs. Amos Keynoius, an
aged woman, being brutally murdered
by her son's wife and her body terribly
mutilated, the head being completely
severed with an ax. The lamihes lived
together in one house, and for some time
ptst there has been bickering and quar
relling between the two women, the
daughter-in-law claiming that her hus
band s mother interfered too frequently
-r 1 - .1 i
in ner anairs. us nignt tue quarrei
was renewed, and in the midst of the
dispute the young woman attacked Mrs.
Reynolds with an ax, striking blow al
ter blow until her rage was spent and
her victim dead in a pool of blood
The head was chopped off, seemingly
wi h one blow. The daughter-in-law
and her husband have been arrested.
fhe murderess does not deny her crime,
but maintains a stolid and indifferent
demeanor.
Child Life Insurance.
Philadelphia, April 19. State Sena
tor Kauffman, of Lancaster county, was
in the city to-day in conference with of
ficers of an insurance company regard
ing alleged efforts on the part of certain
senators to secure $5,000 for the defeat
of a bill to prohibit child life insurance
in Pennsylvania.
"We propose," said Senator Kauff
man, "to our utmost to have the
matter investigated. The suspicion is
abroad that the present senate is holding
up everything and everybody in sight,
and that the senators are making a bar
rel of money. I, for one, intend to see
that the facts concerning this insurance
scandal are brought to nglit, and U we
cannot have an investigating committee
appointed we will ask for the appoint
ment of a commission to hear the testi
mony. Failing in that we will be com
pelled to publish the affidavits that have
been made in this connection."
Urer the South I'enu's Koute.
Chambersburg, Pa., April IS. There
will be an extension of the Cumberland
Valley Railroad from Richmond to the
Tuscarora tunnel and est Bedford coal
region. From Newville the branch line
will run over the old South Pennsylvania
route and connect with an extension of
the Cumberland Valley in Path Valley
The South Pennsylvania tunnels will
be put iu shape for running tracks and
rails will be laid there during the next
few months.
Ali plans for the lengthening of the
Cumberland Valley are finished, and
speedy completion of the road is antici
pated. The new extension will give to
the road a large amount of freight
traffic.
Rode Throngh Flames.
Iebanon, April IS. Engineer Edwin
Shirk, Brakeman James Wright and Car
Inspector John rocht escaped being
roasted to death to-dayby the former's
coolness. When a cinder tub exploded
at Colebrook furnaces molten metal was
thrown into the the cabin, where the
three men stood, and covered the track
to a depty of several inches,
Shirk threw the throttle wide open
and the engine slowly made its way
through the fiery mass.
The cinder 6et fire to the cabin, and
Iefore the men could escape their faces
and hauds were severely burned. The
engine was badly damaged.
The Pittsburg Miners.
Pittsburg, April 19. To-day's session
of the legislative committee appointed
to investigate he condition of the
miners in this district was devoted to
hearing the operators. W. P. DeArmit,
President of the New York & Cleveland
Gag A Coal Company, was on the stand
all morning. He said the miners are
getting fifty-four cents per ton and were
paid for all coal mined. As regards
wages, the miner, he said, was getting
more than his share. As an illustration
the company, on a $100,000 invest
ment, had a profit of less than one per
cent, last year.
Cirrus Cars Badly W reeked.
When the Forepaugh and Sells Broth
ers' ciicus was pulling out of the Ft.
Wayne railroad yards in Allegheny on
Wednesday morning at 3 o'clock the
three rear cars of the train were thrown
from the track and a number of gondo
las, upon which wagons were loaded,
were upset. On the last three cars
weie the cages of the hippopotamus,
sea lions, lions and kangaroos, and
when the crash came the animals set up
a terrible howl. The circus people said
their damage will amount to about
10,000.

guard of honor the removal was accom
plished without special incident. The
interest of the public in the event was
attested by the presence of several thous
and people, although the hour for the
removal had not been previously an
nounced. Congressman Shattvc, of Ohio, has
nominated D. J. Bundy, a colored boy

Highest of all in Leavening Power, Latest U.S. Gov't Report
j&ES&OLUTEE.lf PURE
tathintrin Letter. j
Washington, April 16th, 1S97
Senator Gorman, took occasion to give
the Republicans a little plain talking to
concerning their failure to accept the
very fair proposition made to them for
filling the committee vacancies
and the consequent failure to give
the appropriation bills which failed
at the last session the proper committee
consideration, just before the Indian
bill was taken up. Tbe total of these
appropriations will te more than $73,
600,000, and Mr. Gorman said that a
careful consideration of them might re
sult in a reduction of at lead $10,000,
000. He also said that it was time to
call a halt in the vast expenditures au
thorized by congress; that the limit of
expenditures on the navy and on forti
fications ought to be near, now that an
era of peace seemed to be at hand, and
and that he thought it was also time to
limit the expenditures on rivers and
harbors. He closed by saying that the
Democrats could do no more than call
the attention of senators on the other
6ide to the urgent need of retrenchment.
It is not expected tnt Mr. Gorman's
warning words will have any effect, but
all the 6ame they were timely, and it
was entirely proper that they should
have been spoken by a Democrat. The
country will heed, if the Republicans in
congress do not.
Nothing in the eloquent address made
by Mr. Bryan at the Jefferson birthday
banquet, a gathering of Democrats that
will not 6oon lie forgotten, was more
important or significant than the follow
ing words: "The position taken by the
Democratic party in 1896 will not be
surrendered. If you doubt the .perma
nency of the Chicago platform as a party
creed, go among" the rank and file of
the party and measuie the zeai and
enthusiasm which that platform has
aroused, and you will realize the im
possibility of taking a backward step.
True, the present administration is seek
ing to turn public attention to the tar
iff .question, but if our reasoning is well
fouuded, an increase of taxes cannot re
store prosperity to the producers of
wealth. In fact, we contend that neith
er high nor low taxation can bring pros
perity to the people, so long as an ap
preciating dollar continues to give the
money owner an advantage over the rtst
of the people. The money question
must be the paramount issue of the next
campaign, as it was of the last. If
the Dingley bill brings genuine and per
manent prosperity, the Democratic par
ty will not be in a position to win a con
test by opposing it. If, on the other
band, the Dingley-bill proves a disap
pointment to those who advocate it, our
position of 1S96 will be strengthened,
and public attention will be riveted upon
the fact that the cause of financial de
pression is to be found in our monetary
system."
Senator Nelson, of Minn,, although
a Republican, is in sympathy with the
efforts made by the Democrats in the
house to amend the tariff bill by auth
orizing the president to suspend the col
lection of duties upon any imported ar
ticle, the home product of which is
shown to be controlled by a trust, as he
has given notice of his intention to of
fer the same amentment when tbe tar
iff bill gets before the senate.
Secretary Gage's answer to the senate
resolution concerning the issue of orders
by the secretary of the treasury to col
lectors of customs in relation to carry
ing out the retroactive clause of the Re
publican tariff bill not being at all satis
factory, Senator Vest offered a resolu
tion declaring this order to be without
authority of law and in violation of the
statues and customs regulations concern
ing the payment of import duties, and
by a bare majority of one it was referred
to the finance committee, to be pigeon
holed. Democrats would be delighted to see
Mr. McKinley's bluff, otherwise known
as the special diplomatic commission to
visit Europe with power to negotiate with
the governments of that section in be
half of international bimetallism, suc
ceed in accomplishing something tangible
but none of them have the slightest idea
that it will. The commissioners, Sena
tor Wolcott, General Paine, of Mass ,
and Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson, of III.,
are capable men, and their failure to ac
complish an impossibility will be no per
sonal reflection on them.
Senator Morgan closed his long speech
in favor of his resolution recognizing
the Cubans as beligerents by declaring
that whatever action this country
might or might not take towards Cuba
the freedom of the island was written in
the stars.
Senator Chandler's bills for theseiz
zure of the armor plants of the Bethle
hem and Carnegie Steel companies by
the government, represent a verv dan
gerous sort of bluff, for it is evident they
are nothing else. That these compan
ies have been extortionate in their deal
ings with the government is true, but
that doesn't give congress any right to
confiscate their property. m.

While resisting the entry of two des
perate and determined robbers, and dur
ing a heroic but futile struggle to pro
tect$150,000 or more in money and se
curities in the compartments of the open
vault of the Great Falls National Bauk,
of Somersworth, N. J., on Mouday af
ternoon. Cashier Joseph A. Stickney
was f truck down and brutally murdered
near the desk which he had occu
pied for years.
After killing Stickney the murderers
ransacked the vault and (led with all the
cash it contained, with the exception of
a $5 gold piece. As near as can be esti
mated, about 6,000 was taken, but it is
possible that the loss will cousiderally
exceed this sum, as no one but the dead
Cashier knew the exact amount that
was in the institution at the time.
The robbers, after knocking Stickney
down with a blackjack, cut bis throat.
The most remarkable feature of the
robbery is the fact that $100,000 in
bonds of the United States, which were
kept in one of the drawers of the big
vault, and which the robbers evidently
examined hastily, were not taken.

Tl REVISED TARIFF.
Senators Have the Bill Nearly
Completed.
MANY REDUCTIONS WERE MADE.
few ttrqnrts For Increases Granted.
Wool Men Still Pressing- For Ilaiileal
Changes Retroactive t'lau.e Modiflrd.
Conferred Wit it fceuatore on the Floor.
Washington, April 21. The presence
on the floor 6f the t-euate of the mem
bers of the Republican sub-committeo
of the senate finance committee, which
is engaged in preparing the tariff bill,
was niatle the basis of much specula
tion. The members of the committee
were closeted for a time with Senator
Vest of the Democratic side of the
finance committee, aud afterward held
individual conferences with other sena
tors on both sides of the chamber.
It was generally supposed that the
committee had reacheu a point from
which the end of its arduous work
could be discerned, and that prepara
tion was being made for a full meeting
of the committee. This did not prove
to be exactly true, bat the visit was
made for the purpose of smoothing the
way for the final work. The commit
tee is approaching the end of its labors
and various senators, who are making
persistent demands for changes, were
called npou with a view to arriving at
an understanding.
Among the problems which are yet
unsettled are those relating to sugar,
lead ore aud wool. Some senators have
manifested a disposition to hold out
persistently for certain modifications of
the schedules referring to these and
other articles. The members of the
committee, while not indicating their
own position or that of the committee,
have thought it well to talk over these
matters with the complaining senators.
They are anxious to bring in a bill that
will command the united support of
the Republican party and that will be
sure to become a law.
They think they will succeed, but
beyond this they said little, except that
they expect to report the bill to the full
committee some time next week. The
committee say that uoue of the changes
will be announced until all are given to
tbe public.
Members of the committee told their
colleagues that many reductions have
been made from beginning to end of
the bill, because of the belief on the
part of the committee that some of the
house rates wouut be prohibitive. They
have listened patiently to advocates of
increases, but have granted few of the
requests. One of the members said
that the bill would be a revenue bid
and not a prohibitive bill. The com
mittee practically has agreed upon a
modification of th retroactive clause
of the Dingley bill, which it is hoped,
will be satisfactory to the opponents of
the house provision.
The wool men are still pressing for
radical changes. The woolgrowers are
not satisfied with the rates of the Man
tle amendment, but want a complete
change of classification, and still insist
that no wools shall be admitted for less
than 8 cents a iound. While some
changes are probable in this schedule,
it is quite certain that these demands
will not be entirely met.
THE PRESIDENT GOES RIDING.
lie Takes His First Jaunt on
Ilia New
Saddle Horse.
Washington, April 21. Judge Day
af Canton, the special envoy to Havana,
has called at the White House, but did
not see the president. Senator Gray of
Delaware and Representative Bland of
Missouri also paid their respects.
The president gave a reception to the
members of the National Academy of
Sciences, who are iu session iu this
:ity.
Harold Sewall of Maine, eon of the
late Democratic candidate for vice
president, who is an applicant for the
Hawaiian mission, had an extended
consultation with Mr. McKinley, but
declined to make any statement re
garding the subject of "his visit.
The Kentucky thoroughbred, Bis
mark, Jr.. which was purchased for
the president some time ago by a gen
tleman in Cincinnati, has arrived at
tbe White House stables. The horse is
a beautiful animal, snirited. but well
troken and trained. The horse showed
no ill effects from his trip. President
McKinley took his first ride astride his
back.
CONFESSED TO MURDER.
Han Csarht In Montreal Says lie Killed
New Hampshire Cashier.
Montreal, April 21. Joseph E.
Kelly has confessed to the murder of
Cashier Stickney at Somersworth, N.
II. He admitted that he committed
liotb the marder and the robbery and
cays he had no accomplice.
He vehemently insisted, however,
that he hail had no intention of killing
the cashier, but that he had to do it be
cause the old gentleman recognized
him. After felling Mr. Stickney with
blows on the head, when the cashier
showed signs of rega'iiing consciousness
