It is a great deal too late to object to
the retention of the captured inland,

Thk primitive idea of justice among

Jl'lKiE James (Jay Gordon, of the
1'hiladelpliia U'neb, lias resigned his
official position, it is said, to avoid im
peachment by ihe Iegielature. Judge
iordon was a prominent candidate for
the nomination for Governor when
Jenks was nominated. Governor Hast
ings has appointed Henry J. McCarthy,
a Peinorntt, to succeed Judge Gordon.
The appointment of Hon. C. W.
Stni as Secretary of the Comraon-
wealih under Governor V. A. Stone
is being advoc&ted by many of the Ke-
publrcao papers of the State. The ap-
p intment would lie a most excellent
one, and would meet with the hearty
approbation of a vast mnjority of the
Jt-'publican voters of the State,
Hotrti Dakota has adapted the ref-
etvndum by popular vote. Under its
pr.ivirions if any law is psssed by the
Ijejjisature objectionable to the eopIea
petition may be circulated, and if five
per cent, of the voters sign it, the act
must be submitted to the people for
ratification, before it is spread upon the
statute b:x)k-. It is the first lime it has
bMi tried in this country, although
well kuown in Switzerland, and its
w irking w ill be watched with interest.
A complication in the present instance
is that bile there is a Populist Gov
ernor, the liepublicans have the nece:-
sary two thirds in the Legislature to
p- any measure over his veto. Poli
tics ought to be exciting in that State
dur.nj the next year or so.
Uxless the preseut arrangements are
changed, the llepublic&n caucus for the
Domination of a candidate for United
States Senator will le held on the even
in? of the secoud day of the meeting
of the Legislature. The first ballot for
Senator will be taken separately in the
two Houses on the sfttrnoon of Jan
uary ITU), and at uoon on the lsth a
joint meeting of bol h Houses will be
held to compare the vote. The friends
of Seuator Q iay are eoi.fi.Jent that he
will have a large majority in thea j
cus and claim that even should Magee,
Fiinn and Martin combine with the
IVtnocrats and Wanamakerites li lay
w ill still have a majority, and that in
any event his re-election is assured.
They only wncede Wanauiaker the
control of eight vot. Martin, Mag e
a id Flinn have all publicly Mated that
they will go into the caucus and will lie
governed by its decision.
The Johnstown Tribuuearid its Al

of the editors of the two leading Ri-

One reason why Rrj-an pays silver is
still an issue is that his pditical future,
if he is to have aoy, dependson the sil
ver agitation. The flr-t speech made by
him 5u Congress tM"': attractid any
attention was on silver, and, of course,
if there had been uo silver in the Chica
go convention he could not have g-t
the candida- y. Still there is a chance
for him in the Populist party if that er
gauizatiou keeps out of the political
potters' field uutil VJ. Brvan is a
Populist rather thau a Democrat. He
stumped the West far Weaver, the Pop
ulist presidential candidate, in lHdi, he
was always very friecdiy to the Popu
lists, and the Populist spirit which seiz
ed the Democracy in IV.; is what got
him the nomination in that year. He
would not have to make much of an
adju-tment in his poiitical program to
qualify him for membership in the Pop
ulist party. The Populists could do
worse than to nominate him ia 1IX).
He would undoubtedly make a stronger
run than Wharton Hi rker, whom the
Populists have already put up, His
c:iances for getting the Democratic
nomination in VmO are faint, but the
base aiouej' clemeuts will have a ticket
in the canvass, and he would be as good
a uiun to head it as could be got.
Caffey and WaaaeraU.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
CoHnei Janiea M. Guffey, head of the
Democratic party in Pennsylvania, is a
full fledged candidate for United Slates
Seuator.
It must be apparent to Mr. Wanaina
ker that Colonel Gufl'ey is not going to
take his followers into the Wanacratic
camp, but, that little fact probably does
not disturb the Wanacrala in the siight-e--t.
All that they have to do is to go over
to the (juCV-y camp, where they really be
long. The Wanamnker campaign was oppos
ed to the e!e-tion of Stone, was directed
towards the election of Democrats to the
Ij) y I at u re aud resulted in the loss to the
McKiuley administration of half a d:'n
Consrewiujen. After surh a ao-iii it
w mid lie as uiisleailinj as were his
speeches for the head !' this movement
against the Kepublican party still to pose
as a Iteputiliiain.
It is to lie hoped that the Wanacrats
will 'in hands with Colonel Hotfey aud
vote for hitu, if only to show to the people
of Pennsylvania how exceedingly weak
thty are.
McCarthy Appointed.
Governor Hastings ou Friday aunounc
ed the appoiutiiient of Henry J. McCar
thy, (Item.) of Philadelphia, to sueceed
Ja'iieo (Jay (iordro, judge of Ihe common
ple.is court of Philadelphia, whose resig
na'.ion created a sensation throuchout the
Suta. Judge McCarthy was a judge of
thi superior court of Pennsylvania as it
wis originally construe ed, having been
appointed by Governor Hastings as the
Democratic member of that body. He
ftiled, however, to secure the endorse
ment T his party for the regular nomin
ation, and was forced to retire.
Governor Hastings has made more ju-di'-ial
aps.intiuents thau any of his pred
ecessors. He has appointed altogether 18
c jiunion pleas jadg, five of these to nil
vacanciea on the bench in Philadelphia
created by death and resignation.
Colonel Stone' i Flam Tree.
It would be tedious, says the Johns
town Tribune, to go over a full list of the
rich gifU at the disposal of Col. W. A.
Stone within two years of his inaugura
tion as Governor of Pennsylvania, for it
has been figured out that there are 2S7 of-fii-es,
the salaries ranging from fl,Oi0 to
f2t,ouu a year, to be filled by the new Ex
ecutive iu 'bat time, not to count the
places which he may lie railed upci to
fi'l by the aooideut of death, rcsigualion.
or from other causes.
(Jovernor Stone's very first shake of the
fruit trae will bring down some exoeed-
ing'y juicy plums. The first and most
imnorlant appointment will be Secretary
of the Commonwealth, which office, ac
cording to the latest report of the Audit
or-General, was worth JJsniO last year.
but the fees of the next Secretary will be
much greater, for several reasons, than
Mr. Martin's were, and the new Govern
or's chief Cabinet officer may not be dis
appointed to find an annual income of
from tSOJ' to $25,000 io his Christinas
stocking. The Attorney -Generalship was
worth f 18.i) last year, while Insurauce
Cominissioner Lambert was paid over
S,000 in salary and fees and the Bariking-
Ounmissionershlp was worth more than
.i.fl ij last year to Colonel Gilkeson.
In addition to these there are fifteen
plaies at the direct and immediate dis
poKal of Governor Stoce which aggrega'-e
more than ?-V).(i per annum in salaries.
Because of contemplated changes in
miinbr of State and county offices it is
said that tin incoming Kxecutivo will
have more patronage at his aiposal thsn
hss fallen to the lot of any previous Gov
ernor of this great Commonwealth.
The Saita Agaiait Quay.
Philadelphia, November 28. United
States Senator Quay, bis son, Richard K.
i'iay, and former State Treasurer Hay
wool did not plead to-day to the five in
dictmenU charging them with conspiracy
and the unlawful use of state funds in
the People's bank. They did not even
appear in court, but their lawyers, Rufus
K. Shapley and A. S. L. Shields went
before Judge Fiuletter and presented de
in u r rem to four of the indictments and a
motion to qnaib the fifth. There was a
lengthy argument and the court reserved
i'.s decision. Should this, when an
nounced, be unfavorable H the de
fendants tliey will be arraigned to plead
and the date of the trial will be definitely
fixed.

Circular letters are being sent out from
Washington to pensioners all over the
United State with a view to ascertain
their wihM in regard to the paying of
their pensions in lump sums, ranging
from f !,0C to $!0,0, instead of monthly
uins as V now the case. Ii th" pvent
of favorable replies, Cocgru will mis
winter pass such a law. The object to be
attained by this, will, it is claimed, be a
benefit to both the Government and the
pensioner, as it will enable the old sol
dier to make investments or go into some
btisinem for himself, and will save the
Government enormoas sums in the way
of clerk h re, etc., and eventually do
away with the wholo clerical force in the
Pension Department.
Ia tte Storm ling'f Grup.
The severest storm of the present sea

day along the Middle Atlantic and New
England coast. Heavy snow fell in New

Pennvelvania. Twenty lives were lost
in and around P of ton. 'Most of the fa
talities were caused by the wrecking and

out-liound vessels were obliged to return
to port and anchor.

Spain Accepts American Terms.
Says She Yields to Superior Fore and
to Prevent Hoitihtie.
DETAILS WILL BS COMPLETED BT
DECEXBEE 13TS.
Parls" Nov. iS. Spain has accepted the
United States' offer of f20,0w,000, and at
a joint session of the peace eoaitniwsiouers
this afternoon consented without condi
tion to relinquish Cu!a and to cede Porto
Rico, the island of Guam in the Ladrones,
and the Philippine islands. The docu
ment presenting this acceptance contain
ed only 300 words.
Spaiu's reply ia Mibstance continued
by declaring that the I'nited States baa
offered, as a kind of compensation to
Spain, something very inadequate to the
sacrifices the latter country makes at this
moment, and she 'feels therefore that the
United States' proposals cannot be con
sidered just aud equitable.
Spain has, however, exhausted all the
resources of diplomacy in an attempt to
justify her attitude. Seeing that an ac
ceptance of the proposal made to Spain is
a necessary condition to a continuance of
negotiations, and seeing that the resources
cf Spain are not such as to enable her to
re-enter upon ar, she is prepared in her
desire to avoid bloodshed, and from con
siderations of humanity aud patriotism,
to submit to Liie couditious of the con
quering nation, however harsh they may
he. Sue is, therefore, ready to accept the
proposals of the American commission,
as presented at the lastsitting.
The reading and the translation of
the document occupied less than five
minutes.
Having embodied in the treaty articles
all the protocol questions, the two com
inUaions will now euter upon friendly ne
gotiations regarding the matters suggest
ed in the American ultimatum a week
ig i, matters subsidiary and incidental to
trie principal provisions, which must
form part of the peace treaty as finally
signed. These include the religious free
dom of the Caroline Islands, as agreed to
111 years ago, the release of political pris
oners now ht Id by Spain in connection
with th insurrection in Cuba aud the
Philippines; thenkingoverof the island
of Kusaie or I'ralan, in the Carolines, for
a telegraphic and naval station ; cable
station rights at olhex points in Spain's
Jurisdiction, and the renewal of certain
treaties, previously in force between the
United States and Spain, which may
have lapsed or beeu iliated by war.
Seventy Livee Lost.
IiosTox. November iSi It is known
definitely to-night that more than sev
enty lives have been lost in thewrecks
of tug, schooners and coal barges dur
ing the storm of Saturday night and
Sunday morning, and if the steamer
Portland has also gone down, as now
seems possible, the list of casualties w'll
rise to Hi), with over KJO ve-sels of all
descriptions ashore, two soore of them
total wrecks aud an unknown numiier
probably beneath the waves of Massa
chiise'.ts bay. There is scarcely a bay,
harbor or inlet troni th9 Penobsaot to
New London that has not on its shores
the bones of some staunch craft, while
along Massachusetts bay, and especially
Boston harbor, the beaches are piled
high with the wreckage of schooners and
coal barges. The record, although hour
ly lengthening, is still incomplete, for
that ocean grave yard of Cape Cod is still
to he heard from, and as it has never yet
failed to give up some glim tale at such a
time, it probably will not be found lack
ing on such an occasion.
Ttachert Get Fanperi' Pay.
Dr. N. C. Schaeffer, Superintendent of
Public Instruction, on Thnnday made
public the advance sheets of his annual
report for the last fiscal year. He reports
a marked increase in the number and tize
of the libraries established and maintain
ed in connection with the public schools.
The Doctor also reports that the new
law for the distribution of the public
school fund is a success. The increase in
the amount received under the new bisis
of distributing the fund was in districts
in which the average per school was, and
still is, lower than the district that suf-
ferei a decrease. He is unable to tell,
however, the effects upon the length of
the term and salaries paid to the teach
ers. Encouraging reports have been re
ceived from inauy of the districts in the
State, and Doctor Schaeffer promises full
return's in bis next annual report.
He say that in a lame number of coun
ties the toacbers receive less pay per year
than it would cost the county officials to
keep the same teachers in their alms
houses He quotes figures obtained from
superintendents throughout the State to
disprove the assertions often made that
fifty percent, of those who enter the pri
miry grade remain less than two years.
He says that teachers should know more
than they teach, and makes a strong ar
gument iu favor of scientific temperance
instruction.
Hii Blood Saved Him.
J. M. Wingate, a young sportsman of
Greene Briar, Center county, had a novel
yet thrilling experience the other day
while hunting in the neighborhood of the
Boar Meidows. Wingate, with several
others, was camping iu that locality,
hunting deer. Tuesday, after standing
on a crossing all day without seeiugany
game, he started for camp about 4 o'clock.
He was following a trail from the top of
the ride to the lower lands when sud
denly he stepped into a bear trap hidden
b3neath a covering of leaves, and the
ponderous suel jaws closed on his right
ankle, tearing the II h bully, without
breaking the bone. The shock and sud
den pain caused the niar to swoon.
When be came to bis senses he was hor
ri fie 1 to see noli) feet away a monster
she bear 'sitting on her bau aches and
curiously handling the hunter's gun.
Wingate attempted to free himself from
the trap, but the springs were ao pow
erful he couIJ not budge them, and in
addition every miveof his w4 watched
by the bear in such a threatening man
near that he feared every moment he
would be attacked. Suddenly hs made a
spring aod was 10 feet np a tree before
the bear realized what was going on.
Then, with a deep growl, she plunged for
the man.
The blood from Wingate's wended
ankle trickled down, and this saved his
life. The old bear licked the blood from
ihe tree trunk, which being a barked
slippery elm, became as slippery as glass,
and when bruin finally tried to climb it
she could not. In her rage and fury the
bear worked so hard that the tree trunk
was covered with a lather which was
finally coaled on her body, and in half
an hour she was so exhausted and so
covered with the elm lather that she roll
ed over and could not regain her feet.
Wingate, seeing the bear's dilemma.
slid down the tree, and by lying full
length was able to reach bis gun, when
it was but the work of a moment to send
a bullet froir the 41 caliber Winchester
into the beaa.'s brain. The bear killed,
Wingate tried to release himself. For at
least a half hour he pounded the trap
whh stone; in an attempt to break it, and
more dead than alive, attracted the at
tention of companions who were return
ing to camp by another trail and who '
came to his resoue. When released from 1
the trap Wmgite had to be carried into !
etinp, though his injuries are not regard- j
ed as very serious Th bear was drag- j
g-xl in, an. I wbtm-dreasaJ weighed &tt

Tare Hegraet Lynched.
MF.RtoiAX, Miss., Nov. 7. Three no
g-roes were lynched last night four mi!;"
west of Meridian, Newton c-winty. Far
mers were said to be ou tho trail of others
implicated in an assault upon a white
man, who came to Meridian on Friday
from Newton otmry. After transacting
his business he l'.l for bom and camped
near Oakatubee river, four miles west of
the city. Whiie breaking camp yester
day a hog came an. I g t into his pro
visions and he drove it elf. At tbis
juu.-ture a negro cam-j up aud told the
white man the b-g belonged to h::u.
The farmer hitched up his team, started
toward hims, and did his best to avoid
trouble, but the nm was bnt on a row,
aud was shortly joined by ft.-ur others.
They chased the w Lite mau across Oaka
tutiee river, firing repealed volleys, one
load of which bulged iu one of his arms,
producing a painful wound.
After crcssing the river the blacks gve
up the chase, and the white man went to
his home aud no' i tied his friends and
neighbors. Iast night a dozen or more
white men boarded the Alabama and
Yicksburg train at Chuakey and got off
at Lost Gap, six miles west of Meridian,
with the av-. wed purpose of killing the
negroes implicated in the assault. The
man who was assaulted recognized the
blacks and the white meu darted to
hunt them down. Sheriff Reed and posse
returned to-night from the scene of the
trouble, bringing with them throe ufgro
prisoners. Early in the day a frightened
negro reported to the Sheriff that a mob
of white men were shooting into negro
houses aud threatening to kill every
negro in the community. He said they
fired over 100 shots Into the house of the
ringleader of Saturday's trouble. The
sheriff organized a posse and started for
the scene, but on arrival could find uo
trace of the white men nor any corpses.
However, the three negroes concerned in
yesterday's affair had "disappeared," and
it is said the Newton county mob had
taken them in charge. The three negroes
arrested were relatives of the riotrs, aud
the sheriff took them in f r safe keeping
until the trouble subsid-x.

Kovel Fointof Law.
Srisvx, Cal., November 21 Superior
Judge Buckles of Solauo couuty, has
just decided an interesting c.ae, involv
ing the question as to whether a person
can acquire property as the direct result
of his own crime. The decision is in the
alliimative.
Louis, Frank, Arthur, Thomas and Su
sie Belew were brothers aud sister. Louis
and Susie were unmarried and e.ieh pos
sessed estates in their own right. The
father and mother were both dead.
Frank, who was without funds, was sepa
rated from his family. He murdered
Louis and Susie, wiih no apparent mo
tive except to succeed to a portion of their
estates. He pleaded guilty aud was
banned.
The petition for the distribution of the
estates of Susie and Louis Bole asked
that the estates le distributed in equal
shares to the surviving brothers and to
tbe estate of Frank Belew.
One of the brothers tiled objection to
any distribution being made to the estate
of Frank Belew, on the ground that be,
having murdered his rolher aud sister,
could not succeed to any of the estates
left by them. To this objection a general
demurrer was interposed, which was
sustained. Judge Buckles declaring that
unless tbe court can change the code of
civil procedure the estates of Loui9 and
Susie Belew must be distributed in equal
parts to the estate of the murderer,
Frank Belew, and the two surviving
brothers.

War and Hewipapers.
Many people honestly believe tbe war
made a money harvest ior tbe newspa
pers butlbey are woefully mistaken. The
Cosmopolitan baa been mat ing some in
vestigation along this liue, and this is
what it learned :
Should a war rep irted as this has been
continue two yra s it wouldbankrnpt the
resources of every first-class newspaper
in New York oity. Every newspaper of
tbe first class has run so far behind since
the outbreak of the war. To one news
paper at leapt tbe war has meant an add
ed expense of more than $3,000 a day
about f 1,000.000 a year enough to elimin
all tho profits of the moat profitable
newspaper in America which at tbe
present is undoubtedly the New York
Herald. Three thousand dollars per day
has been the extra cost of gathering war
news for the New York Journal. That
sum perhaps represents a maximum.
O.her newspapers have spent in propor
tion their available capital. For a news
paper, as for a nation, war has no reward
sive glory. It hurts the commercial end
of tbe newspaper as of the nation adver
tisements diminishing and it adds great
ly to the expense.

VERY PRETTY Rf
AMONG DEMOCRATS.
7or5onite3 Seek to uvenarow -out
onel Gafej's Leadersnip
AST) HELP WANAJUKEB.
Ecpreaentatir. Fow, of Peculiar Memory
and Author of Qaeer BiHa, Leads tta
Fight, But He Gets Cold Com
fort From th Straitbt
ont Democracy.
(Special Correspond""0-
narrlsburg. Nov. .-There is a pret
ty row on In the Democratic party in
Pennsylvania. It Is all over the oppo
sition cf the Gordonltes to the contin
uance of the leadership of Colonel
James SI. Guffey and to the desire of
the friends of Jue Gordon to help
out the Wanamaker combination ia
thrlr plans to advance the political In
terests of tbe Philadelphia millionaire
and his Republican associates.
That Wanamaker has given up all
hope of being elected to tbe United
Stales fenate Is now apparent. Ilia
managers, while still in touch with
the Democrats, are trotting out C. W.
Stone and John Dalzell for Vnited
States senator, to divide the Republi
can vote. Meanwhile Mr. Guffey is
getting In Us fine work lining up the
Democrats. Mr. Guffey haa never been
known to enter into any business or
political deal without expecting a fu'.l
return for any expenditures that might
be made. It is well known to out
siders that In the last three weeks of
the state carrraien the Democratic
managers made up a pool and put up
Individual collaterals upon which $li.
OCO was ralfd to be spent in certain
counties to elect Democratic members
of the legislature. The present United
States senate stands 44 to 4S against
the Republican party, and with visions
of Democratic control of tbe senate be
fore them the Guffeyite were very lib
eral In their expenditures. The Dem
ocratic machine had nevf handled
such great rolls of cash, and with their
allies In the Wanamaker organization
they succeeded In unexpected quarters.
Guffey, now having engineered and
financed the Democratic campaign, be
lieves that he Is entitled to the honor
of the Democratic caucus nomination
for United States senator. The Gor-don-Mutchler
combine has, however,
trotted out Chauncey F. Black as a
candidate for United States senator,
and are fighting Guffey at every point.
GufTey beiieves the Democratic party
shcuM stind by Its colors and place
a strong man. a good Democrat, in
the feld for the speakership of the
house cf representatives.
IS FAVOil OF GUFFEY.
The officers of the Democratic state
organization are of the same mind, as
was evidenced by an address to the
Democratic members-elect issued by
Secretary Van Dyke, of the Democratic
state committee, who indignantly re
Bents the idea that the Democratic
members yhall be used to pull the
chestnuts out of the fire for the Wan
amaker Republicans. He comes out
squarely in favor of Colonel Guffey fr
United Slates senator, tails attention
to his record as a va'iant fighter for
Ms party and the self denying manner
In which he has always given his time,
money and services to the party.
The most conspicuous advocate of
coalition with, ihe Wanamakerttes in
the legislature by the Democrats U
Representative .rrhn II. Fow, author
of the "Fow "bill," and other iniquitous
measures that have brought denuncia
tions upon his head from almost every
county In the commonwealth. Fow,
whcsi Democracy has frequently been
questioned, and who was, through a
deal, c-n both the Republican and Dem
ocratic tickets, has met with t many
turndowns from Democrats who de
cline to entr Into negotiations with the
relfish Wanamaker-Van Valkenberg
Hlankenburg cohorts.
It is safe to predict that Colonel Guf
fey will win out hti fight.
Meanwhile the Republicans are
quietly canvassing among their num
ber In th" interest of the several Re
publican apirants for the speakership.
Voorhces of Philadelphia. Bliss cf Del
aware. McCIain of Lancaster, Marshall
and Ilosack of Allegheny, and the
others. There Is no question that the
Republican caucus nominee will be
elected by practically the full I arty
vote, v
Representative Frank O. Harris, who
has Just been triumphantly re-elected
from Clearfield county, and who was
here a few days ago. has come out fiat
footed In favor of the re-election of
United States Senator Quay. He says:
"I take my re-election to mean that the
people of my county desire the return
of Colonel Quay to the United States
senate. I was known throughout the
fight that has Just cio.-pd as a Quay
man, and while the county went for
Jenks. I was elected on the Republican
ticket. I shall certainly vote for Sen
ator Quay In the Republican caucus,
and In so doing I shall represent the ex
pressed wishes of a majority of my con
stituents." The fight against the re-election of
Mr. Harris was certainly one of the
most bitter waged In any district In the
state. Immense sums of money were
pent to defeat him. His success under
tbe circumstances waa marvelou.-v
An important series of pictures of Pope
Leo XIII., from the only photographs
taken in many years, will shortly be pub
lished in Harper's Weekly. Another
interesting announcement is that Mr.
Caspar Whitney has retjrned from the
Hawaiian Islands, and has again taken up
.be department of Amateur Sport in the
Weekly.
