Washington Notes.
On Thursday last President Cleveland
left Washington, and went to his summer
borne at Gray Gables along the Massa
chusetts coast, without having taken ac
tion on the perfidy and dishonor tariff or
several other bills that were awaiting his
signature. Before going he received sev
eral letters suggesting that he Bign the
tariff bill with a pen made from the quill
of a crow.
On Saturday the Senate by a vote of 27
to 16 adopted Murphy's resolution declar
ing it to be the sen 1 * of the Senate that no
further tariff legislation should be attempt
ed at this session. This settles the "pop
gun bills" for the session.
President Cleveland left Gray Gables
Tuesday evening and was expected at
Washington, Wednesday. The impresaion
there was that he would allow the tariff
bill to become a law without his signature.
In the meantime cargo after cargo of raw
sugar H arriving at New York and other
ports, and thousands of barrel* of whisky
are being drawn from the bonded ware
houses.
"PROF." KIRKER, of New Castle, who
is described as a magician and ventrilo
quist, has been nominated for Congress by
the Populists of this district. We don t
know of anything that could be more po
litically appropriate. The business of a
magician and ventriloquist is to fool pe«>
pie, to deceive their senses, and the busi
ness of a populist candidate is to deceive
the common sense of people and make
them believe that more money and more
legislation, more Coxevism, is necessary
for the wellfare of themselves and the
country. The nomination of "Prof.
Kirker would seem particularly appropri
ate.—Sharon Herald.

ACCOHDIHO to a correspondent of the
New Vork Observer, a Christian church
in some parts of Japan cannot be estab
lished without the consent of the property
owners in the neighborhood. In fact, a
church has the same status as a saloon has
in a highly moral American village.
Japan and China.
Japan recently issued a loan of $50,000,-
000. A strong outburst of patriotic feeling
was evoked by the nation's act and the
people in all parts of the country were
qaick in responding to the demand for
money.
At Korea nows Japan has much the best
of it. China's only way to get troops into
Korea is by way of the peninsula.
Advices from Korea under date of Aug.
3, say the Japanese forces have captured
the fortified town of Lough-Wan and killed
1000 Chinese, with a loss of only TO men.
Lough-Wan is one of the most important
villages of the kingdom, and was held by
17,000 Chinese. The Japanese determined
to capture the arms and provisions and bait
the army by a clever bit of intrigue. They
gave out that they were going to march
back to Asan, bnt no sooner were they con
vinced of the success of their scheme of
making the Chinese believe they bad left
the settlement than they marched with a
rush straight up to the fortifications. They
made a clean sweep of everything in the
course of five hours' fighting.
The Chinese were bowing, kowtowing
and firing crackers off to a big wooden dei
ty set up on a cannon ball. The Chinese,
with their usual cowardice, deserted many
oi the Fan Kwai—foreigb devil officers—
and when given orders to resist the ad
vance of the enemy turned and fell upon
their swords, preferring to commit suicide
rather than be murdered by the Japanese.
It is reported that Japan has ordered
100,000 stand of arms and a largo quantity
of amunition from a New York firm
The earl of Kimberly, the English secre
tary oi state for foreign affairs, has ordered
the cnitoms authorities at Glasgow to
seize the warship Islam, which is being fit
ted oat tbere for either China or Japan.
This order was issued under the foreign en
listment act, as was also the order of last
Saturday to seise at Newcastle the torpedo
catcher built at the Elswick works for Chi
na.
The Chinese, on Monday reported two
battles in which the Japanese were driven
back with great loss.
The Japanese are re-embarking large
numbers of troops at Eusari. Nothing is
known regarding their destination
The Chinese force which occupied Vas
ban have evacuated that place, and have
marched eastward in the direction uf Seoul.
The force, which is under Gen. Veil, who
was falsely reported to have been killed in
a recent battle, has been augmented by
the adhesion of numbers of sympathising
Koreans.
The Chinese forces are converging on
Ping-Yang. The telegraph line at the lat
ter point remains in possession of the
Chinese. .Vine thousand Japanese troops
have left Seoul and marched in the direc
tion of Ping-Yang.
The two Japanese spies who were arrest
ed in the French settlement of Shanghai
are under the protection of the United
States Consul, aud will remain so until
a charge is clearly formulated against
tbem.
At San Francisco Minister Karino, of
Japan, said he wanted to combat an im
pression prevalent with some of the Amer
ican people that he was here to raise a
loan and possibly get American troops aud
officers.
"My coming i» in no way in reference to
the war," he said. "We are in need of no
guns, money nor men. We have a stand
ing army of 80,000 men with reserves suf
ficient to make 200,000. All are well
trained. Our people are offering the Gov
ernment money, but we do not nee.l it
and steadily refuse it. Beside the 200,000
trained men we have 47 warships. We are
thug well equipped."
THAT is a novel but interesting suit which
Farmer Stanley of Indiana proposes to
bring against Congressman Bynum. Stan
ley was a Democrat living in Bynum's dis
trict and was among those who wanted a
change in 1892 He was not particularly
concerned about the offices,but he did want
higher prices for his farm product*. While
the canvass was hot he listened to Bynnm
declare from the stump that if Cleveland
was elected wheat would advance to $1 25
a bushel. He took the speaker at hi*
word, voted for Cleveland and tariff re
form, and ha* been waiting ever since for
his reward. At that time wheat was sell
ing at 90 cents, and instead of going up it
has steadily dropped until it has touched
45 cents, or just one-hal** less than when
Bynum made his false but luring premise.
Now he thinks he was defrauded of his
vote and he proposes to see whether he
cannot recover damages for the loss he has
sustained.
Politics 1 Notes.
At a Democratic convention in West
Virginia lately, U. S. Senator* Camden
and Faulkner were denounced as traitors
to their party.
W. C. Arnold of Du Ueis ia the man who
will succeed Kribbl of Clarion in Congress,
he havmg been nominated by the Hepubli
cin< of the 28th district last Thursday.
Congressman Sibley will probably ac
eeut the unanimous reiiomination tendered
him by the Democrats and l'opulists of the
Krie-C'iawfordtifstriot Charli** Miller of
Franklin, his partner and friend, think « he
will agaiu run and will mak«- a successful
fight.
Up to Tuesday evening the conferee" of
the 21st Congressional District bad caat 101
ballot*, and no nomination.
Suicide ot Wm, Miller.
Wm. Miller, formerly teller ot the Pro
ducers' Bank of Butler: a brother of Sam
uel Miller of Mercer, and who for the past
few years has been a national bank exam
iner, shot himself through the head, in the
Second National Bank of Altoona, last
Friday noon. He was in charge of the
bank at the time, it having been closed;
had nearly completed his examination of
it* affairs, and no reason is given or is
known for his mad act.
The story of the tragedy a* told by
President J. P. Levan, the only person
who was in the bank when it occurred, is
substantially as follows:
After eating his dinner at noon Mr. Le
van walked down to the bank, meeting at
the door clerks Kennedy and Miller, who
were just going out for dinner. This was
about 12:30. Mr. Levan then went inside
and found Examiner Miller sitting in the
directors' office of the counting room.
After a few moments conversation it oc
curred to Mr. Levan that the examiner
was delaying going to dinner because of
his presence, and he said to Mr. Miller:
"If you have everything locked up you
ought to go to dinner, Mr. Miller, or,if not,
I will walk down to the hotel until you
are ready to come back."
The examinei; answered pleasantly that
there was no reason why Mr.
shouldn't remain while he was gone. The
examiner then left the bank, but in fifteen
minutes he returned, Mr. Levan remarking
that be had hardly given himself time to
eat his dinner. Mr. Miller said that he
had not been feeling well and had no ap
petite. He had only gone to the dining
room door and returned without having
eaten at all. The two men sat discussing
the affairs of the bank. Leaving Mr. Le
van sitting in the office, Miller arose and
walked into the counting room.
Mr. Levan heard a moment later the re
port of a pistol Mr. Levan ran forward to
the counting room. On the floor by the
side of the cashier's table, and directly in
front of the bank safe, lay the outstretched
form of Mr. Miller. Blood was gashing
from a great bullet hole through his head.
Mr. Lever rushed out on the street and
gave the alarm. The report ot the revol
ver had been heard for a half square and
some persons in stores nearby had already
stepped to the sidewalk to inquire the
CKUM of it.
To the first person that Mr. LevaD met
he told that ttie examiner bad shot him
self in the bank, but be was himself so
weak from the shock that he might have
fallen had not friends led him to a chair in
Westfall's famishing house.
District Attorney Hammond was sum
moned to the scene of the shooting, and in
the absence of Coroner Poet, who was ont
of the city,selected the following jurymen:
Hon. Edmund Shaw, A. W. Dively, Hsq.,
Patrick McCann, T. J. Trout, F. D Saupp,
and R. K. Spicer. Alderman Smith was
summoned and the jury was sworn. Noth
ing waa found on the person of the dead
man to indicate why the deed was com
mitted.
All the facts developed pointed to self
destruction, but many incidents remain
unexplained. The unfortunate fact that
Mr. Levan was the only known parson in
the bank other than Mr. Miller when tne
tragedy occurred has not aud will not ex
cite even a breath of suspicion against him.
His honored name cannot be connected in
the remotest way with tne shooting. The
bank could in no way profit by the killing.
The report of Examiner Miller, whatever
it is, baa been forwarded to Washington.
It could not be changed or wiped out with
the examiner's life. And the report is not
expected to reflect upon the bank s presi
dent. It, however, is expected to reflect
upon and uncover almost unlimited crook
edness on the part of Henry A. Gardner,
the absconding cashier.
Daniel McSweeney, formerly of the U.
S. Secret Service, Chief of Police Tillard
and other detectives of reputation and
ability, who have been engaged on the
case, are not satisfied with the suicide
theory. They are not content in the be
lief that the revolver could have fallen
back into the drawer after having been
used. Blood dripped from the revolver
upon papers in the drawer, yet there was
no blood stains upon the dead man's bands
A young woman, at the time reporte 1 to
be Miller's daughter, is reported to have
gone into the bank a few moments bufore
the shooting occured. Two men were said
to have been Hitting on the steeps of the
bank at that time. The men were not on
the bank steps when President Levari
rushed out to sound the alarm ot the shoot
ing. The story of the woman entering the
bank was told by a young wholesale mer
chant of Philadelphia. He said he was
eating his dinner at the Logan House
when the alarm of the shooting was givau.
He hurried to the bank, and while in the
crowd about the institution was told of the
mysterious woman. The detectives seem
to consider the woman story with some
concern and are at work on the cine. It
is evident from the interest manifest that
the case will not be allowed to go by de
fault. A vigorous and thorough investi
gate is certain to result.
TUK sun was yesterday in a stata of in
tense excitment. Large spots, one oi im
manse size—many time* larger than our
globe and undergoing rapid changes—
were conspicuous on his fiery face.
This in not the first time that great solar
convulsions have been noted in recent
month*. Since 1890 the ran ha* been
gradually becoming more and moro agita
ted and energetic, at times throwing out
va*t sheets of flame reaching elevation* of
two and three hundred thousand mile*
above the chromosphere. Among the
moat terrific instances of Holar commotion
wero the gigantic spots of February, 1892;
August, 1893; November, 1893. and Feb
ruary 28, 1994, each of which measured
ten time* the diameter of our planet anil
presented some of the aspect* of an in
debcrihably vast cyclone. If the effects
of tooh commotion* in the *un were inere
ly local and ephemeral they would excite
only a scientific interest Hut science
ha* long suspected, if it ha* not been
able tn fully demonstrate, that a most
important connection ex sts between the
occurrence of great solar activity and pe
collar type* id terrestrial weathsr mater
ially affecting oni crop seasons, ani
often productive of long spell* of drought.

Twenty thousand Buffalonians, who
lifted their eyes toward the northern sky
between 10 and 11 o'clock, on Aug. 16,
saw there a beautiful and perfect mirage.
It was the likeness of the City of Toronto
and Lake Ontario, with its harbor and the
little island which lies in the lake. To
ronto is 56 miles north of Buffalo, but
those who first witnessed the phenomenon
were able to count the church spires of
the Canadian Cit.y. Vessels were seen
moving in the lake. A careful examina
tion of a map of 'he country pic tured in
the sky showed that the mirage was with
out the slightest distortion.
The will of Rev James Beatty, a Meth»

only surviving child, a m»rried daughter,
took out letters of adm nistration on the
estate. It was arranged that she should
take one farm and her dead sister's heirs
the other. Last Thursday, in cleaning
up the house where Mr Beaty died, a will
was found in an old organ, leaviag every

and signature are genuine. It was this
which was entered for probate to-day.

Wedding at Bay View, Michigan.
The tollowing interesting account of the
marriage of Miss SadieSteelsmith. the pop
ular elocutionist of N. Hluff Street, is taken
from the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph ol
last Saturday. The bride is the daughter
and only child of Mr. Amos Steelsmith
the well knowi oil man.
Miss Sadie Steelsmith, an exceptionally
pretty young lady from Butler Pa., was
married same three or four weeks ago to a
well known Pittsburger, Prof. Win F.
Braum, master at the Danciug Academy
on Fourth avenue. The offair has been
kno-vn to but very few of the young peo
ple's friends and has quite a romantic air
about it It seems that Prof. liraua and
the young lady who was soon to become
his bride were both in the part} that, ae
companied Prof. Byron King to Bay \ iew,
Mich , a few weeks ago. Nobody imagin
ed such a thing as a wedding, save the
young people themselves. They bad been
at Bay View but a short time when they
wont off quietly one das', obtained a mar
riage license, and were wedded within a
few hours. Prof King's pariy remained
at JUay View for several weeks but not till
now, upon the return to the city, have the
youug peojde made known their interest
ing story. One romantic feature about it
is that botn the official who granted the
license to the couple aud the minister who
performed the wedding ceremony were
married ic just such a way as the happy
pair whose story they listened to *ith so
much interest. The minister bad married
his bride when be was at Hay View spend
ing bis vacation, and had not made k-iowit
his ma'riinouial intentions to his friends
befor.-haud The tale of the young folks
allognth r is one full of interest, aud will
be quiie a surprise lo the many friends
they have in the city. •
Miss Steelsmith I* a pupil of Prof- Byron
King, and for several years past has taken
part in many of tie amatour theatricals
under Prof. King's management She is
a great favorite in the social circle in
which she moves, uud it has been hinted
that quite a nuuiher of suitors have sought
her hand. Prof Brauu is wall known in
the East End, and many friends will be
ready to congratulate him when they hear
of bil recent happiness.
