Probably the whole of the l:i,t in
the ten regiineuU already raised w ill
be on the way by the early part of Oc
tober. Some of the experts in E:ig
luud are telling the Americans to guard
against getting the army in the islands
too large. Otis' army will probably
not be too large when all the reinforce

enough to do its work promptly and
decisively.
The President, in his Ocean Grove
speech, compressed the Philippine war
situation in a few words: "The Flag
does uot mean one thing in the United
Stares, and another thing in Puerto
Rico and the Philippines. There has
been doubt expressed in some quarters
as to the purpose of the (Jovcrnnient
respecting the Philippines. I see no
harm iu stating it in this presence:
Peace first, then charity for all, estab
lish a government of law and order,
protecting lire and property, and occu
pation for the well-being of the people
iu which they will participate uuder
the Stars and Stripes."
To EimiTLE the candidacy of Col
onel Barnett for State Treasurer, be
cause he is a soldier, says the Chaui
bersburg Repository, w ill not gain fa
vor with the people of Pennsylvania.
Yet this is w hat Candidate Creasy at
tempted to do at the Grangers' Picnic
Colonel Barnett sacrificed his business,
his persoual comforts, and went to the
Philippines, not to gain the State Treas
ury, for he was not thought of in that
connection then, but because he was a
good loyal citizen. Mr. Creasy and
those who remained at home and en
joyed the pleasures of home life have
uo right to question Colonel Harnett's
patriotism. The country honors all the
brave men who went forth to battle,
especially these who went to the Philip
pines. Mr. Creasy will make Dolhing
by such a course in politics.
The coaference of Irk urgent and
Democratic leader at Philadelphia
last week was barren of results, so far
as is at present known. The refusal of
the Democratic candidate for Superior
Court Judge, Mr. Reilly, to retire in
favor of an Insurgent candidate put a
quietus to the fusion proposition; and
the absolute refusal of Judge Beeber to
be an independent candidate for the
same position was a wet blanket on the
movement to place an independent
Slate ticket in the field. The probabil
ities now are that there will be no fu
sion nor will there be an independent
ticket in the field. The Insurgents,
the more radical of them, will quietly
knife tbe regular Republican ticket
while professing to support it, and will
thus endeavor to keep down the Repub
lican majority as Ijw as possible; but
Brown, Adams, and B&rnett will be
elected by an old-fashioned majority
all the same.
Nearly a third of the ten new reg
iment has already been raised. Very
nearly as quick time has been made
thus far in the recruiting of tb se regi
ments as was nude in the raising of
the earlier ones. Probably even greater
speed will be made now that the torrid
weather has c:-h1 all over the coun
try. The fact that so ruaDy men are
enlisting at a period when labor of all
sorts is in more active demand than at
any previous time within the memory
of any person now alive shows that the
patriotic spirit is as active as it ever
was in the pat-t. The AguiuaMists
comprise such a small part of the 75,
(.Ml.mio poulatiou o the country that
if they were all gathered together they
would hardly outnumber one of the
street corner gatherings which the
Democratic fakirs used to have in all
the big cities during the closing weeks
of the canvras of ls
A Sensible Bula.
From the Hollldaysliurg RryiHter.
The Register was mightily pleased with
one thins; w hich was done by the late Re
publican State Convention, and that was
the adoption of the rule which will do
away with the annoying and dangerous
deadlocks which occur so frequently in
Congressional and Senatorial conventions
of couferrees. For years tbe writer has
advocated tbe adoption of some plan that
would take it out of the power of obsti
nate candidates to ilave in jeopardy the
success of the party ticket by persisting
in the maintenance of a deadlock. The
new rule w ill effectually settlethis. Here
after w hen a conference has failed in mak
ing a notniuH.ion fifty-live days prior to
the election the chairman of the Repub
lican Slate committee will appoint from
each anility of the district a representa
tive to take part in the conference and if
within five days thereafter a nomination
is still unmade, then the chairman w ill
appoint a representative Republican from
the district who will act as umpire or ref
eree. In this manner a candidate is sure
to be selected before it is too late. There
is consideiable objection to this from the
insurgents and from Republicans who
are doing all they can to h3lp the Demo
crat., but the rank and file of the party
are perfectly satisfied w ith the new rule,
and w e confidently look for good results
to follow its adoption.
DREYFUS GUILTY.
No Exile, but a Term of Tea Years to Serve
id France Judges Stood Five to Two.
Rennk.S Sept. 9. Iireyms was found
guiity to-day. The Court-martial con
demned him as a traitor in having com
municated information of the army of
France to other nations in l'l.
lie w :is sentenced to ten years deten
tion iu a French continental fortress ; not
to deportation.
That means he will not be sent back to
Devil's Island. He must also sutler a new
degiatlalion from his rauk.
The Judgi stood five to two. Lieuten
ant Colonel De Breon and Captain
Beauvais voted for acquittal.
The military Judges deliberated on the
verdict from 3:10 P. M. to 4:15 P. M. The
majority of five to two was necessary to
establish the verdict.
Had but four Judges voted Dreyfu
guiity the verdict would have lieen "not
proven" and Dreyfus would have been
free, but with the lifelong stigma on hiin.
When the deep s'lence that prevailed
in the court room was broken by the
reading of the momentous verdict the
manner iu w hich men turned pale and
caught their breath was more impressive
lhau any other manifestation could have
been.
The pent up feelings of the audience
were expressed ia a long, deep-draw n
"Oh w hen Colonel Jouaust reached th
word "guilty." The word was prououuc
ed under his breath.
Ow irg to the threat of vigorous punish
ment f-r ulteriug any cry, there was nt
outburst, but the faces of the majority ot
the spectators reflected an expression ol
anguished surprise.
Dreyfus was not present when the
verdict was delivered. It was read to
him bj the cleik of the Court in L'u
prison. Here are the last words he uttered to
his Judges before they retired to delib
erate:
"I again protest that I am innocent. I
have borne all these tortures for fiv
years ouly because I wished to restore
their honor to those w ho bear my name.
I now swear before my conntiy and tb
French army that I am inuocent. I am
certain of my rehabilitation, for I fully
rely upon your reason and your loyally."

Brothtr"s Keeper ?"
Mrs. EirieBeggs of Confluence, Miss
Winuie Knenper of Somerset, Misses
Margaret Leader aud Maud Speicher of
Salisbury and Miss Mina Tissue of Con
fluence, added much to the interest of the

ate recitations. Mr. J. K. Bergstresser of
Rock wood, and Miss Sada Hocking of
Meyersdale, were so generous in the
rendering of solos so appropriate. Misses
Martin and Buchanan of Salisbury, and

agement, also so helpful in the devotional
exercises: Rev. Biddle and Rev. Watson
of Confluence, Rev. Raliet of Rock wood,

tion, delivered an address on "How and
why I went around tho world." This

organization of a Y. W. C. T. U. in Som-
erset county. Fifty re members were
a Ided to the list of our faithful workers,
as a result of the meetiug, and in point of
nemlieri and work, was one of the most
successful and profitableoonventions, and

Encampment.
PATEIOTISuI THE KEYNOTE.
Chairman Herder Delighted With the Com
pliments Paid tbe State Candidates and
the Predictions For Immense Majorities
From Every Section of the State.
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia. Sept. 12. If there Is
one man In Pennsylvania rnore'than
any other who has reason to be pleased
with the outcome of the Grand Army
encampment here in this city last
week that man is General Frank Reed
er. chairman of the Republican state
committee. While politics was not in
any way Injected Into tbe proceedings
of the encampment, and the Republican
organization of this state practically
dosed the headquarter j as far as ac
tive campaigning was concerned, the
very atmosphere seemed surcharged
with patriotism, and on every hand
were evidences of intense loyalty to
President McKinley and his adminis
tration. As the Republican campaign
in tbe Keystone state is to be wared
exactly npon these lines, and the peo
ple of this commonwealth are undoubt
edly heartily in accord with these sen
timents, the Republican field marshal
has occasion to be confident of the out
cone of the issue at the polls in No
vember next. There were probably not
in years so many old soldiers gathered
tocether in this city at one time.
Anions: ihem were thousands of active
end influential Republicans in their
lespective localities in Pennsylvania.
Many of them naturally embraced the
opportunity to call at the state head
quarters of their party, if only to pay
their respects to the state chairman.
A REPUBLICAN RENDEZVOUS.
The comfortable building at 1231
Walnut street, which has been occu
pied bv the Republican state commit
tee for a number of years, became a
veritable rendezvous for many of the
visitors. The building was beautiful
ly decorated in honor of the visiting
veterans. The entire front was a mass
of red. white end blue b'lntiug. hun
in graceful festoons, and almost biding
from view the six larte windows which
supply iichl to the interior. Portraits
of three men who have helped to make
the countiy's hiatoiy entered Into the
decorations. I'-etween the windows of
the third Coor, and surrounded by a
multitude of fla?s, was handsome
portrait of Washington. Between the
windows of the second floor wi.o a like
ness of President McKinley, while in
a conspicuous position on the first floor
was a portrait of Lieutenant Colonel
James H. Harnett, the gallant officer
of the Tenrh Pennsylvania volunteers
and the Republican nominee for state
treasurer, w ho added fame to the old
Keystone state in the campaign in the
Philippines. From each window of
the build ins floated a large American
Cae. and from the cornices fluttered
streamers of the national colors.
Plenty of chairs upon w hich to make
themselves comfortable and newspa
papers from evry county in the state
were there at their disposal, and thi
state chairman and his assistants miss
ed no opportunity to make their vis
itors feel at home. General Reeder,
who is a past department commander
of the Grar.d Arm v. and marched in
the parade with his home post, the
ifayet;e. i.f Easton. Is personally ac
Glinted wl'ti many of the callers, ana
enjoyed the many interesting remln
iscences of war times.
SPLENDID REPORTS RECEIVED.
General Reeder did not fail to in
quire of hU cullers as to the senti
nient in their various counties, and
he was naturally pleased to hear from
every quarter of the commonwealth
reports of the most gratifying charac
ter.
The old soldiers invariably declare-!
mat tne Republicans generally wer
deliglid with the action of their state
convention in the selection of excep
tionally strong candidates, the nomina
tion of brave Barnett, for state treas
urer, being especially pleasing to the
enthusiastic young Republicans and to
the soldiers generally, both the old
and the young. Messrs. Brown and
Adams, nominees for the supreme and
the superior courts, respectively, were
looked upon as lawyers of recogn'zed
standing, whose elevation to the bench
will strengthen the judiciary of the
commonwealth.
The veterans reported that there is
a universal sentiment In favor of
standing by President McKinley in a
vigorous campaign for the suppression
of the insurrection in the Philippines.
and that the stalwart action of the Re
publican state convention in its sweep
ing and cordial t-.dorsemcnt of the pol
icy of President McKinley and its em
phatic and unequivocal declaration In
favor of his renomination for the
presidency, was received with expres
sions of delight by Republicans every
where. They recognized that Pennsyl
vania has the honor of leading the
movement for a second term for Pres
ident McKinley, and tbey declared that
already the people in their respective
localities are thoroughly aroused and
are intent upon rolling up big R mbli
lican majorities for the candidates on
the state ticket in November, so that
the Keystone state shall by an over
whelming Republican triumph at the
polls start the ball rolling for a
veritable McKinley landslide for the
presidency next year.
PARTY LEADERS PROMINENT.
Pennsylvania Republicans in the
Grand Army had occasion last week
to be proud of the leading officials- of
the state and of this city, who have
een elected through their Republican
orar.nization. United States Senator
Boies Penrose, Governor William A.
Stone and Mayor Samuel H. Ashbrldge.
of this city, were untiring in their at
tentions to the visiting veterans, were
on hand early to give them a cordial
greeting and were with them constant
ly at all the important functions pre
pared for their entertainment, and
hade them a friendly farewell and a
hearty God speed as they departed for
home. Governor Stone, who as a sol
dier of the civil war with an honor
able record, could address them as
comrades, was particularly happy in the
many clever speeches he was called
upon to make, and impressed all with
the sincerity of his greeting when he
welcomed them In tbe name of the
commonwealth. The brilliant yonng
United States senator and the able and
energetic mayor of the Quaker Cltr
were both patriotic and eloquent, and
each was enthusiastically applauded
whenever there was occasion to ad
dress the old soldiers or sailors at
tracted here by the encampment. The
governor was accompanied bv Attor
ney General John P. Elkin. who was
not allowed to leave the city without
neing called upon for one of thnu
characteristically patriotic sneerh
such as thrilled his audiences when, as
chairman of the Republican state com
mittee, ne was conducting the cam
paign in the interest of Colonel Stone
for tbe governorship last fall.

OLD BOYS IX BLUE.
Thirty Tioutaide If arched Fait Comrade
KcEialey.
Never, since the order of the Grand
Army of the Republic was organized, was
there so great an outpouring of tbe gray
haired boys in blue as Philadelphia saw
this week. From every state in the
Union they poured into that patriotic city
on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tues
day, and never were the railways so
pushed to haul them and the thousands
who accompanied them.
Five vessel of the North Atlantic pquad
roii, the battleships Indiana, Massa
chusetts and Texas, aud the cruiser New
York aud Brooklyn, were anchored in
the Delaware river. Do Monday the
officers and men of the fleet participated
in tbe parade of Naval Veteran, .t.OnO
men being in line. This parade was re
viewed by Rear Admirals Sampson,
Casey and Melville. Secretary Long cf
the Navy department, with the approval
of the President, granted the request that
the vessels be permitted to remain in
port at Philadelphia until September IX
President McKinley and a number of
his Cabinet members arrived Tuesday
morning aud reviewed the great military
parade of that day. Upwards of 30,OUO
veterans of tbe U. A. R. participated in
the demonstration. At the official wel
come to the G. A. R. and auxiliary or
ganizations President McKinley made an
address. The President also spoke at a
banquet given jointly by George G.
Meade Post, of Philadelphia : Lafayette
Post, of New York, aud E, W. Kinsley
Post, of Massachusetts, after which he
started for Washington. He first return
ed a call made upon him by Admiral
Sauitoil and the commanders of the
North Atlantic squadron, visiting live of
the vest-els anchored in the Delaware.
I'RKSIPKXT M'KINI.KY'S APDRHSS.
As the President advanced to the foot
lights the audience rose and gave hiiu
three times three cheers. When quiet
was restored Mr. McKinley said:
"Comrades of the Grand Army of the
Republic : It has given me great pleas
ure to be associated wilh you to day.
have been deeply touched by many of
the scenes which all of us witnessed
With the joyous sigh at the glad reunion
of old couirad ss who had fought side by
side in a common cause and for a com
mon cause and for a common country
there was that other saddened sigh that
so many of cur comrades who, two years
ago only, had so proudly marched wilh
you tnrougn tne city ot isuriaio were no
longer in your ranks. The circle is nar
rowing as the years roll on. One afte
another at our annual reunions is not
present, but aucouuted for. He has gone
to join the great majority of our comrades
who sleep to-right lielow the low, green
tent whose curtains never swing out
ward.
"liut with it all, my comrades, I could
not but inquire to-day as I witnessed the
vast procession of old veterans; am:
heard the plaudits of the people, I coul
not but ask the question, 'What has en
deared this vast army to the American
people, what bas given you perinauen
and imperishs.ble place in history V Act
the answer cornea that you saved the
nation. Applause It was because you
did something; aye, you sacrificed some
thing. You were willing to give up you
lives for civilization and liberty; not fo
the civilization and liberty of the hour,
but for a civilization aud liberty for all
the ages. Applause
"That has given you a place iu the hearts
of the American people, and I was there
fore, uot surprised to bear from our coin
rade who made the response to the w el
come of the state and the city, to bear
him utter in this preseuce that from tb
time that they journeyed from their
homes in the lar West until they reached
this city the omrades were everywhere
cheered by the American people.
"Great good deeds never die applause
and the (J rani Army of the Republic is
to be congratulated to-night that the
nnion, wbicb it saved and the peace
which it secured at Appomattox Court
House is the Union formed more than
century ago; that that Union Is strong
er, belter and dearer to the American
people 'han it ever was. Tumultuous
applaus.j
"We are ouce more and forever one
people applause, one iu faith, one in
purpose, one in willingness to sacrifice
for tbe honor of tbe country and the
glory of our flag. Applause,
"The Blue and tbe Gray march under
one flag. Applause. We have got but
one flag now, the same our graudsires
lifted up, the same our fathers bore; that
flag which yoa kept stainless and made
triumphant. Immense applause.
"I may be pardoned for saying in this
presence that this bas been one of tbe
happiest days of my life. Applause I sat
looking into tbe faces of my old comrades.
They are getting a little too old for war,
thiuk. Laughter, and cries of No! NoP
They are all right, though, applause and
I may say that during last summer aud
this year we were able to convene in thir
ty, sixty and ninety days 2-V),0ilO of the
best young men of the United States, and
it was through the example of your pa
triotism and tbe inspiration of your ex
ample." Immense applause.
Before final adjournment the encamp
nient unanimously adopted tbe report of
tbe Committee on Pensions. Tbe report
recommends that a committee present to
the President the conviction of the en
campment that Rule No. iS. under which
claims for pensions are adjudicated, works
great injustice to worthy applicants, and
that the practice of barring from the pen
sion-roll soldiers' widows who have an
income of a year, is unwarranted by
the act of If!!. The committee favors the
increase of the limitation to f-U) a year,
The President will be asked to abrogate
Rule No. 2aud re establish the princi
ple as detmed in Rule No. li. Should it
be found that relief may uot be afforded
by the administrative officers of the Gov
ernment, Congress will be askod to ameud
the law. Col. Albert D. Shaw, of New
York, was elected Coiiiinander-iu-Chief.
A motion that captured rebel buttle flags
should be returned was defeated by i
very large majority.
George L. Seavey, of Chicago, was elect

was a carefully planned scheme on the
part of certain disappointed politicians
to effect a fusion with the Democracy
on the state ticket was known to lead
ing men In the Republican party for
some time. The clan contemplated the
withdrawal of Charles J. Reiily, the
Democratic nominee for superior court
justice, and the substitution of the
name of Justice Dimner Beeber for hU
on the Democratic state ticket. Thl3
was to be done with the understand
ing that the Democrats were to support
Beeber for the superior court iu re
turn for Republican votes which were
to bo thrown to Creasy, the Demo
cratic candidate for state treasurer,
Even if this deal had been consum
mated there would not have been the
slightest danger of the defeat of either
Lieutenant Colonel Jame3 E. Barnett
or Josiah R. Adams, the candidate on
the Republican ticket asainst whom
this Intrisue was directed. For every
diseruntled Republican who woul
have supported a scheme ot this char
acter there would have been a dozen
Democrats who would have repudiated
it and voted the Republican ticket
The men who were engineering this
project were sorely disappointed last
week, when Justice Dimner Beeber
came out in a public announcement
that he would have nothing to do with
the proposed fusion scheme.
JUSTICE BEEBER A REPUBLICAN
This is Justice Beeber's statement aa
given to the newspajicrs:
"I cannot be a candidate of any
Tarty now. I am bound by the ac
tion of the convention, and the
nomination having gone elsewhere,
I am no longer in the Geld. I do
not feel that I could accept an In
dependent nomination, as good
faith to the convention and to the
Republican party requires that I
should not. and therefore I will
not."
This manly stand taken by Justice
Beeber was generally commented upon
as indicating that he is deserving of
the greatest consideration at the hands
of the men Identified with the Repub
lican organization. It was recalled
that throughout the canvass in favor
of the successful candidate for thU
nomination not a single word was said
derogatory to Justice Beeber. His an
uouncenr.ent blocks the game of the
men back of the guerrilla warfare
which has been waged against Josiah
R. Adams, the Republican nominee for
justice of the superior court. The at
tempts to arouse opposition to him in
the Republican party have been puerile
and ridiculous. Justice Beaber in re
fusing to be a cat's-paw for the men
are v.orking for personal interests in
politics will impress those who have
not the pleasure of personal acquaint
ance with him with his good judgment
and manliness of character.
T he Democratic leaders, as well aa
their Republican allies, were greatly
disappointed when they read Justice
Beeber's announcement. Colonel Jaa.
M. Guffey, the Democratic iit I ua
committeeman, who went ull the way
from Pittsburg to Philadelphia to bo
on hand to push through the fusion
scheme, was the first to recover hi
equilibrium. Like the fox with the
inaccessible grapes, he concluded to at
once make the Lest of a bad situation
snd he promptly gave out an Interview
in which he said he would never hav.
favored a fusion plan. He admitted
however, that such a proposition had
been under discussion for some time,
but insisted that no conclusion had
been ' reached.
SOUR GRAPES FOR GUFFEY
"I for one," said the gallant Colonel
Guffey, without even as much as
fcnnle upon his countenance, "would
not favor any such plan. I am satisfied
the sentiment is too strong throughout
the state for a straight Democratic
ticket to gain any support for a split
ticket."
j Democratic State Chairman Rilling
followed the next day with a "me too
'interview to the same effect, but there
was a marked expression of disap
pointment upon all the workers about
the Democratic state headquarters over
the collapse of the fusion scheme.
' 1 his was their second failure to
form a combination to help their statu
candidates in this campaign. They
made a desperate effort to have the
'Prohibitionists put Creasy upon their
ticket for state treasurer. They had
jlhe game all carefully set up with
isoine of the leaders of the Prohibition
Ij'arty. who were quietly encouraged to
look favorably npon the proposition by
certain disappointed Republicans, but
when the delegates in the Prohibition
state convention discovered what was
going on they promptly sat down upon
Creasy, whose friends, they declared
should never have had the audacity to
attempt to foist him upon the Pro
hibition party, without his having the
lightest claim to recognition from
them. This setback was quite as unex
pected as It was emphatic.
It looks as though Creasy is not go
ing to cut much of a figure in this com-
paign.
FL1NN MAKES A STATEMENT
Following the declaration from Jus
tice Beeber that he proposed to abide
by the action of the Republican state
convention, a statenvfcit from Senator
William Flinn. of Allegheny, who waj
the acknowledged leader of what were
known as the "'insurgents" in the last
legislature, is significant. Senator
Fliun. wheu asked what would be his
attitude toward the Republican state
ticket replied:
"What else can it be but to aid it in
every way possible? I am a Republi
can, and while I am still opposed to
Senator Quay and his methods, which
dominate the Republican machine, I
feel that inasmuch as I participated in
the convention which nominated the
present state ticket, I can do nothing
but support it at the polls. I think I
voice the sentiments of the Republi
cans of Allegheny when I say that they
are opposed to Quay and his methods
and because of this feeling we do not
for a minute consider ourselves regu
lar.
"Should we have decided to protest
against mis uciiei on election day we
might have said that we had an ampin
precedent set by some of the men who
are now closely Identified with the
Quay organization in the matter of
bolthig Republican conventions, par
ticularly in our city in 1896, but we
don't employ Philadelphia methods to
govern our actions in Allegheny. What
had to say and do against the pres
ent Republican ticket was done in the
convention at Harrisburg, and, having
been overruled iu this protest. I have
nothing before me now but to maintain
my Republicanism by supporting the
nominees. While still opposing the
Quay leadership Allegheny will gtiil
remain in the Republican as well as in
the anti-Quay eclumn."

aooeared on Sunday morning. The
hands were first attacked, and wit
amazing rapidity tho festering pimples
spread until the arms and shoulders were
fairly alive with sores. Operations

stay the progress of tbe disease. Th
body of Dr. Smith beg in to swell at an
alarming rale, and a state of coma follow
ed. His last hours were painless.
On August Dr. Smith porfonned a
autopsy on some animals on the Berli
farms aud sent portions of their bodies to
State Veteriuarian Pearson, who after
ward pronounced the disease anthrax
Dr. Smith attended other live stock
