The Somerset Herald CDWiRD SCCLL, Editor and Proprietor. WEDNESUAM.. .Kovember2 1898. It seems from the Democratic con ference in Chicago that the managers of the party are fjr thec l i ticket and the old result. The character of this season's coru husts indicate a mild winter, and the number of theia beepeaks a great Re publican victory next year. On e vote in Ulica, N. Y., elected an alderman and made the board Repub lican. The importance of a single vote is frequently illustrated in American politics. Seven years ago the foreign Jrade of the Uuited States reached $1,(00,000,000 for the first time, and this year it will go beyond $2,000,000,000. Uiide Sam's varieties of expansion are an interest ing study. The late Vice President liobirt was the sou of a country school-leaciier, and began his business career with a capital of f 1 50. In opportunities for poor boys of the right stamp no country is equal to the United States. Ix Oxe respect the British have an advantage calculated to worry Oom PauL They can call out another army corps if they lose a battle, whereas the Boer President can do no more than rally the remnants for another trial. Mr. Bryan asys the people fail to make the proper distinction between a standard dollar and a credit dollar. Bryan assumes to be very learned about different varieties of dollars, but unless their valus is one hundred cents the American people have no use for them. Says the Harrisburg Telegraph: "Those Insurgeuts who are going to Washington to protest against the seat ing of Senator Quay will have to ex plain what they intend to do with that half a million dollar that they have raise! as a corruption fund. Then the chickens will come hoaie to roost." Thocgh without a national reputa tion when nominated for Vice Presi dent, Garret A. Hobart was equal in every way to the duties of the position, anl illustrated, with honor to himself ani advantage to the country, theca picity of an American citizen to rise at sh rt notice to high responsibilities. The death of Mr. Hobart creates a vacancy in the office of Vice President t tat can not be tilled before the next presidential election. Senator Fry, President pro tern, of the United States 8 mate, will assume the duties of Vice President, but will not assume the of fice. Should President McKinley die, hi would be succeeded by John Hay, Sicretary of State. The contrast between an Adminis tration which is compelled to Issue bnds in a time of profound peace to meet the ordinary expenses of the Gov ernment, and one which, even while conducting an expensive war, is able to buy back millions of dollars' worth of the bonds, is a very sharp one, and should furnish a very instructive object-lesson to the voters of the country. Ix the dispatches from the seat of war in South Africa for the past fort night, as given out by the British War 0:lice, we have only the hunter's story of his fight with the bear. They des cribe bloody repuisesof the Boers, brill iant bayonet charges by the British, and indicate in a vagoe way that the campaign is only a picnic for John BulL The bear has not yet had a chance to tell his story of the fight Meantime, it is significant that the chief practical result of these Boer de feats is that, the British are more and wire closely .hemmed in, aaJ their dif ficulties increased. - Colonel McCli re, of the Philadel atWphia Times, said to a New York Tribune reporter the other day that he regarded the rece. "lections as one of the cleanest -cut .ategical moves ever made in the arena of American politic. As a military genius like Na poleon or Grant would plau a cam paign, the Republican managers plan ned theirs, and their opponents march ed into the meshes of their tactical manoeuvres, with the natural results, that they are now at the mercy of their captors having held Ohio to make McKinley the Republican nominee, and losing Nebraska, to insure Bryan a bis Democratic opponent The trial of the suit brought by the City of Pittsburg against State Senator William Fiinn for $200,000 damages by reason of the defendant having unlaw fully obtained from former city officials $113,000, was commenced before Judge White, without a jury, Monday morn ing The case has excited great public interest, the people being auxious to know whether the great reform boss re ally did beguile the city officials of the pjople'a cash, and it is to be hoped that th j trial will bring out the facts. The testimony elicited at Monday's hear in $ disclosed that Fliun had gotten $118,000 from the city officials, but whether it was private funds of the of ficials, or money belooging to the city, was not fully shown, although a pretty good guess can be formed. Aocixaldo is pretty hard pressed t'teae days. He may elude the troops for a few weeks longer. Possibly he may escape from the island altogether, and go to Asia or Europe. The end in any case, however, will be the same. Most of his army will be captured, and the rest of it so thoroughly dispersed that it will never get together again. We presume the Government at Wash ington would not make any especial efforts to bead Aguinaldo off if he were trying to escape to the outside world. The prime object is the capture of bis army, and this can not be delayed much longer. It is pretty clear, in any event, that the Tagal rebellion is on iu last legs, despite the aid it got and ex pected still to get from the great party whose victory in the recent elections all the Filipino rebels prayed for. Admiral Dewey's private affairs are his own, and criticism of the trans fer of his borne would be out of place except for the fact that the gift of that home to him by popular subscription made the property of semi-public in terest and gave those who bought it, at lea 4, a right to express themselves on I he propriety of dUDosinzof it aa flow. y did. They did so ex press themselves, j oa wun a swiuness and emphasis that left no doubt an to the public mind in the matter. It is difficult to determine who was the more to blame, Dewey in oWding the people' gift to his newly. ' married wife, or she in accepting it. ' Under the storm of public sentiment, the houre has since been promptly deeded to young Dewey, and the ex planation accompanying this latest transaction will be taken at what it is worth. E5DED BOW, BATS OTIS. Filipino Congress Scattered Sever to Xeet Again. Ma Hi la, November 24. Bautista, Pres ident of the Filipioo Congress, presented himself to General MacArthur to-day and formally renounced all further connec tion with the insurrection. Ha waa one of the influential Filipinos who hesitated at the beginning of the war as to which side to cast bis lot. He was offered a Judgeship of the Supreme Court, but de clined. He now announces that be desires to accept the position, and ay the Filipino Congress and Cabinet are scattered, never to reassemble. Koine of the members, he adds, have returned to their home, while others are fleeing for safety. M any of the Congressmen have resigned, and be be lieves the Filipiuo soldiers will lay down their arm everywhere a soon as they learn the truth. General Otis summarizes the situation in Luzon in a dispatch to the War De partment in which he says that the Filip ino Government can no longer claim to exist, that its troops and official are scat tering, and that Aguinaldo is in hiding. The dispatch follows: "Claim to government by Filipino can be made no longer under any fiction ; its Treasurer, Secretary Interior and Presi dent of Congress in our hands; its Presi dent and remaining Cabinet officers in biding, evidently in different central Lu ton provinces: its generals and troops in small bands scattered through these prov ince acting as banditti, or dispersed play ing the role of Amigoes, with arms con cealed.

Aided a Brother to Via a Bride. Akkapolis. Md., Nov. 28. If Lloyd Lowndes, Jr., had not had a twin brother, Richard, be might not have been married at Chillioothe, Ohio, last week. The twins are aons of Governor Lowndes, of Maryland. The bride was Mis May Campbell Quiun, daughter of J. C. Quinn, vice president of tbe First National bank of O'biliicoths. Lloyd and Richard Lowndes haveoften been mistaken for each other. Richard has been married several year. Re cently he was going west when hewa approached on the train by a young man, who slapped him familiarly on tbe back and said : "Hello, Lloyd, you are going to pass through my town, and I want you to stop off and spend th night with nie." Richard said that be was not Lloyd, but tbe other insisted that be was. Richard allowed himself to be persuaded to stop over at Chillioothe. Among tbe people he met there was Miss Quinn, to w hom he was introduced as his host's old col lege chum, Lloyd Lowndes. Tbe ac count of tbe visit interested Richard' brother so much that Lloyd entered into correspondence with Miss Quinn, and fiually went to Chillioothe to visit ber. It is related that Miss Quinn diti not dis cover tbe difference between the two brothers, and that when Lloyd finally told ber he had a hard time to convince her of the truth. Xilliom to Raise Sheep.

Admiral Eeieat CritieUm ef Hi Action ia Presenting Eons to Hi Wire. Xrs. Dewey Deedi Property to th Admiral's Boa. Admiral Dewey, who wa harshly crit icized for making a deed for tbe Wash ington resideuoe presented to him by tbe American people over to hi wife, gave the following statement to the news paper : "Wbeo I made over this house to my wife I thought I was doing the most gracious act that an American gentleman could. It seem that I waa mistaken. Mrs. Dewey understood belter than I did the feeling of the people, and at first de clined to permit tbe house to be trans ferred to her. She did consent only after an arrangement bad been effected where by not only tbe house, but her entire per sonal fortune, which is considerable, was to ultimately go to my son George. "I would never have believed It possi ble that the American people who lately applauded me could so suddenly turn on me. Where I was a hero two month ago I am now reduced to such a position that certain people cannot say things too villanous, too scurrilous about roe; and no one defends me. If I bad known bow much trouble, how much abuse waa to ome upon me as the result of accepting this house, I would never have taken it. "When I sailed into Manila bay over dangerous groan d, with death and even worse in front of me, I little thought in such a brief period after I returned to my native land the American people would countenance such monstrous attacks up on me because I was doing what I con sidered to be the most gracious thing I could do, to present my home to my bride. "I do not intend to arraign the entire American people for the act of a few. But I am cut to the quick. I never have felt so badly in my life. I want the Americans to know it I want them to know that if I could I would return to tbe contributors to tbe fund the bouse purchased with their money. If I should continue to feel as I do now, I would cut It alL throw up everything, go on tbe retired list and go abroad. In fact, I feel so discouraged and so worn out that I scarcely know what I will do. I hardly feel like living jn a country where 1 can be attacked in so outrageous a manner without being defended by anyone. "The American people are not through with ine yet When the American people wanted me to command a fleet and to ail into Manila harbor, I did my duty as I saw it aud as I believe a sailor should. And if thry want me now, or at some future time, to command another fleet my life and my sword are always at the dixposal of my country. But" aid tbe admiral, pointing to a local newspp r containing a number of letters abusing him, "when I think that in all probability the writers of these letters are tbe very ones who, two months ago, were professing the greatest admiration and love for me and are now trying to rend me and my domestic happiness to pitces, it disgusts me with the whole affair. And if it were not fur my country, I would wish that I bad never fongbt tbe battle of Manila, a I now wish I bad never taken this bouse. "As for conveying it to my wife to avoid tbe payment of any debts orobli gationa, I can only say that I have never had any debts. I have always had a horror of them and of bills ; and as far as I know to-day, I have but two bills in the world, those being for domestic supplies." Spanish Prisoners Seaeh Manila. Makii.a, Nov. 27. Three hundred Spaoisb prisoners, who escaped from their captor before the American ad vance, including civil officials of rank, who bad been in the bands of the Fili pino for more than a year, and many officers, have arrived at Manila during tbe past week. Francisco Reyes brought 100 of them from General Wbeaton. They were a motley-appareled and bearded company. Some were ill, aud had to be carried from Tayug to San Fabian in army wagons. A delegation of these former prisoners have visited Major General Otis in order to thank bim for his hospitality, which included the furnishing of food and clothes. Senor Jamarillo, the Spanish commissioner, is mating arrangement to send them to Spain on board of Span ish transports. Buencamino has been lodged 1n com fortable quarters at the police station, with his family. Other persona are not allowed to communicate with him. He is classed as being the most slippery per sonage connected with the insurrection. He was a colonel in the Spanish army, and a traitor to Spain. At tbe time of tbe first insurrection he tried to sell out to the Filipiuos, and his present imprisonment excites no sym pathy among bis own people, while the Spaniards think it is mistaken leniency for the Americans to refrain from shoot ing him on the Luneta, the fate dealt out to better men in the anti-Spanish upris ing. Aguinaldo' youngest child, who was recently christened at Tarlac with great ceremony, died, and waa buried at Day amban in Aguinaldo's flight General Wheaton reports that natives have threatened violence to Aguinaldo's mother, s he is now sheltered in a con vent with a guard. General Otis has ordered ber to be brought to Manila for safety. Postal Kates to Colonies. Washinotox, 1). C, November 23.

M'itlNLEY WEEPS 1ST President, Cabinet, Jurists and Sen ators Attend Vice Presi dent's Funeral. NATION PAYS TRIBUTE. Pater-sox, N. J., Nov. 25. All that was mortal of Garret Augustus Hobart thirty first Vice Presideut of tbe United States, waa borue to the tomb thia after uoon. The funeral honor for thia most distinguished son of New Jersey were simply in keeping with the character of the man, but tbe tear-drop of thousands of sincere mourner paid greater tribute to bis memory than any funeral pomp or ceremony that human ingenuity could devise. Tbe city of Paterson never mourned as it mourned to-day. There never was a greater gathering of New Jersey' fore most citizens to pay funeral honors to one of her sons while the nation was represented by the President the Cabi net aud the chief men of the legislative and judicial branches of tbe government Tbe stranger in Paterson ueeded only to glance at tbe face in the silent sorrow laden crowd around the church this af ternoon to appreciate tbe force of these clofclu g words of Rev. Dr. Magie's eulogy: "Wear to lay iu the grave, 'the bouse appointed for all living,' these mortal re mains, but in our hearts Garret A. Ho bart live and will live while life re mains." Paterson is one of the great ist manu facturing cities in tbe oountry, but there was no whirl of wheels in iu great silk mill to-day. Every industrial estab lishment was closed, and the army of toilers were out on the streets in Sunday attire to join in tbe last honors to the man w hom they respected and loved above all of their townsmen. Flags everywhere at half staff; drapings of black ou dwellings as well as on public building; bit of crepe or black rosettes on ooats these were silent evidences of the universal grief. But the voice of the city was beard in tbe tolling of the bells, d leful bells. Their monotonous dong, doug, dong, mocked the glad sunshine and the dancing breeze. It waa the deep note of a sorrowful city and a mourning na tion. What contrast to that gladsome summer day only a little over three year ago, when Paterson went wild with joy in welcoming home Garret A. Hobart as tbe Republic n Vice Presidential nomi nee. All the arrangements for Mr. Hobart' funeral were carried out without a hitch or a marring incident Crowds of people flocked to c'arroll Hall, the Hobart resi dence, ud lined the streets leading to tbe Church of the Redeemer hours before tbe time set for tbe funeral. During the services the chief magis trate of tbe country bowed bis head in his band. He waa visibly agitated. There was scarcely a dry cheek in tbe crowded edifice, and the widow was ap parently the most composed. There were thirty-two pall-bearers, eight representing the United States Sen ate, eight representing the House of Rep resentatives, eight personal pall-bearers selected by Mr. Hobart two months be fore his death, and eight Senate police, who carried the casket In the throng were Senator from States that were Territories before the war and for years after. There were Hoar, of Mas sachusetts, representing tbe old, and Bev eridge, of Indiana, representing tbe new in national life. There were John W. Diuiel, of Virginia, representing the Confederate soldier, and Hawley.of Con necticut standing a a type of the Union veteran, each of them to day as Senators mourning tbe loss of their presiding offi cer. There was Jones, of Arkansas, arm in arm with Frye, of Maine. From every State came men of broad culture and prominence in national af fairs to honor the memory of tbe illus trious American, whose acknowledged ability bad won bim a foremost place among men of the time.

Two uther defendants in the case, Adam Rnuanoski and Charles Kutcbis, proved an alibi during the trial of the case, aud they were acquitted. It was proven tbat a secret organiza tion, to which the defendants belonged, plotted to kill Joseph Rutkofska, who bad incurred the enmity of two members of the society. Rutkofska was coaxed from bis house into t'e front yard at night and was then surrounded, one of them split ting his head open with an axe, which in jury caused bis death. Two of the eleven defendant in the case were not tried at this term of court. Hew Speaker's I iberal Ideas. Washington. D. C, Nov. 25.

Satobery of Mother nd Her Thrs Chil dren. Wii.LiAMsroHT, 1., Nov. 22. Tbe bodies of two murdered children were found beneath a haystack a mile north of Montgomery, this county, to day. A searching party which to-night wei-t over the premise discovered tbe bodies of a third child, and the mother of the three, concealed in an outhouse. A war rant baa been issued for Abraham Hum mel. Three week go Hummel, who is a rag peddler, mairied a widow named Yeagel, who had three children. They went to housekeeping on Hummel' lit tle farm near Montgomery.

Gin gery aud Jury Commissioner Millard F. Johnson and Joseph A. Phillips, with perjury, conspiracy and common law misdemeanor in drawing the jurors for the December term of court which was to convene the first Monday cf next month. This charge grows out of an investiga tion made Thursday by Singleton Bell and G. M. Bilgsr, attorneys for the Clear field Republican, the editors of w hich paper are defendants in a suit on the list for trial at this term. On examination of the records in the Prothouolary's office it was found that apparently '12 of the 24 name on tbe Grand Jury drawu bad never been in the whtl and must have been substi tuted when the December jury was drawn. Of the 50 jurors drawn for Oyer and Terminer and General Jail Delivery Court 44 names, it is alleged, are fraudu lent The name are in a large measure made up of the Democrats who have been sup porting Matt Savage in his factioual tights in the Democratic party in the county, although there are some who have not been supporting him of late. Tbe Republican, notwithstanding its name, is a Democratic paper, but its ed itors have uot trained with Mr. Savage. WH3 3LEW UP THE MAISEt United State Government Hot on Trail of Three Spaniards. Officials of tbe United States Govern ment after months of secret investiga tion, have discovered the explosive used in blowing up tbe war-s'iip Maine in Ha vana Harbor, on February 15, l.S. It was guncotton. S-vin hundred pounds of it were used, and it was the property of tbe Spanish Government It was sent from Barcelona, Spain, to Admiral Manterola, the Admiral com manding the port of Havana, a month before the destruction of tbe Maine. Six cases, each containing 350 pounds pf guncotton. were received at Havana. The contents of two of the boxes, 700 pounds, were either stolen from the mag azine where the stuff was stored or taken away with the knowledge of the officials in charge. Admiral Manterola' records will un doubdtedly show tbe names of bis subor dinates who had direct control of the ex plosives, and in that way tbe identity of the authors and executioners of tbe plot to destroy the Maine may be discovered. Tbe Government at Washington has been or soon will be in possession of all the facta relating to the new discoveries. It will piobably solicit tbe assistance of the Spanish Government in securing the punis'tment of the authors of the crime. Murderer Balk Juitic. Ei.kton, Md, November 24 Another tragedy followed close upon tbe premed itated shooting of pretty Rhoda Jackson, the 10 year-old girl, who was killed near Aiken last night by Silas White. The same crazy mentality that led to the murder caused tbe assailant to seek his own life, probably not long after be bad slaiu tbe girl for whom be bad a fond ness tbat prevented bim from taking in good part her parents' objections to bis SU't. Tbe parent of the murdered girl never thought seriously of White's attention to their daughter, but told bim he could not call, as she was too young to entertain company. White was a son of the late Captain Edward White, and was twenty- eight years of age. He bas always had an excellent reputation, being sober and industrious. He hunted and fished for a living. While the authorities of towns and cit ies within a radius of fifty miles of the scene of the murder were watching for the murderer of Miss Jackson, he was se er tfd in the woods in the rear of the Jackson homestead.

Washington Nov. 27. Considerable interest is being taken inofficial circles as to tbe disposition of Aguinaldo in case of capture. Some persons say that tbe best solution would be his death in action, but this is not expectel. Should he be cap ture I, Geu.

Should Aguinaldo escape to Hong K-ng tbe United State could not as a matter of rightask for his surrender, aud tbe Pres ident would therefore most probably de termine to leave tbe insurgent leader alone. Infoonneclion with the disposition of Aguinaldo in case of capture, tbe au thorities would have to consider tbe ef fect of the policy upon the natives.
