SINCE the late congressinal convention in Butler, a persistent effort lias been made here to throw all the blame for Sliowalter's defeat upon Mr. Phillips, but this is unfair, and is probably done with a purpose. In this matter we were somewhat mis taken in our views of last week. We have since learned that though the Lawrence Co. delegation was instructed for Phillips, the majority of it was con trolled by Judge Wallace, and that there fore Phillips could not have nominated Showalter had he wished to. The nomination of Davidson was the work of Matthew Stanley Quay, and his friends in Lawrence and Mercer counties, and if Showalter had any promises from him in the matter he can again thank him for deceiving him. Mr. Phillips is, we understand, an aspirant for higher political honors, and if that is the case, this persistent effort to defame him is probably in the in terest of some other aspirant. The Phillips Bill The House at Washington, Friday got around to consideration of bills from the Labor Committee, Representative Phil lips's Industrial Commission bill being taken up first and occupying the atten tion of the House throughout the session. As there was only time for two speeches on the measure, that of Mr. Phillips and of Mr. Low, of New York, the order for providing for a vote was changed and the two days were given to the Phillips bill. The bill provides for the appoint ment by the President of a non-partisan commission of 21, seven representatives each from labor, agriculture and business, to collate information and consider and recommend legislation to meet the prob lems presented by labor, agriculture and capital. Mr. Phillips said in part: "This calls attention to the fundamental principles of our government—the equality of men, and seeks a more equitable distribution of the burdens and benefits of our free government. While it is not the function of the State to guarantee individual hap piness, it is its function to guarantee each individual the right to pursue hap piness, and so enacts law that one class may not be compelled of necessity to work solely for another class, regardless of their personal comfort and improve ment. This nation took the most advanc ed stand in civilization, and is the best prepared to meet the industrial issue of today by building on the foundation it laid more than 100 years ago by con forming law to its declared principles of right, Treedoin and equality; and thus organize our social ane a hot one. Th« New Castle Libel Case. A petition for a change of veue in the libel case of W. D. Wallace against the "News" was refused by Judge Miller at New Castle, Tuesday. The defense then presented a petition containing the sen sational statement that Judge Miller was not an impartial and disinterested judge to try the case, for the reason that he had written a letter in which he had express ed himself on three points of law pertain ing to tbe case. Judge Miller said: "Its not true. I never expressed an opinion on the case." Ex-Judge Norman Martin one of the attorneys of the defense, here produced the letter written to Daniel Jameson, cashier of the Citizens' bank, and whom Judge Miller supposed controlled the "News." The letter complained of the action in the famous Richardson case and asked that future criticism be stop ped. The objection was overruled. Another, objection to the entire panel of jurors drawn, was presented. The rea son for the objection was that Judge Wallace, while having a suit pending, had himself assisted in filling the jury wheel and had placed names in it alter nately with the county commissioners. Judge Wallace had also failed to certifiy the jury drawn to the protlionotary, as required bv law. Anp'nient on this peti tion took up the greater part of the atter iKr.>n. Th u''is Voughv 'j t'.rtge Wallace on a • •! •>; « .icari.'ig before Alderman JLSo'.vuian in .lie famous Richardson-Tar - delli bribery case. He alleges that the head on the article insinuated that he was a party to the bribery by receiving SSO. He wants $25,w0 damages. A Letter from Cuba, fames H. Scott, .1 Pittsburg man and the wealthiest individual planter in the province of Pinar del Rio, Cuba, is im prisoned by Captain General Weyler in the fortress of Cabanas at Havana. He was imprisoned for alleged sympathy he gave to the cause of the Cuban patriot s . Guarded as he is on all sides, Mr. Scott has been enabled to smuggle a letter through the cordon of prison bayonet-, and the letter reached Pittsburg. A copy 'of it was secured la'ely by the "Post. The letter unfolds a tale of horror that seemingly dwarfs all reports that have hftßWrtrt reached the United States con cerning the wanton cruelty of the Span iards. PmblWh'r Mr. Scott, the prisoner, is an American citizen, and John Scott, his brother, a resident of Pittsburg, and a brother in Chicago will take steps to secure the United States Government's intercession on behalf of the pusoner. His release will be demanded as he is an American citizen, and a native of this country. James H. Scott, is 36 years old, and his Pittsburg brother was formerly a well known broker on Fourth Avenue. The family is prcminent. Some years ago young James H. Scott went to South America and Cuba, on behalf of a Pitts burg firm, which sold engines and ma chinery in those parts.. W r hile in the puttee of Pinardel Rio, young Scott met the-daughter and only child of a wealthy planter. The young man fell in love with her, and remained in Cuba twice the time allotted to him for that purpose by his employers. W hen he returned to Pittsburg the employers objected to his long stay. Mr. Scott resigned his position on the spot, went to Cuba and shortly after ward married the planter's daughter. He became general manager of his fath er-in-law's extensive plantations. In a few years the old man died, and, as he had but one child, she and her husband became sole heirs .0 the vast estate. At the '.reaking out of the present Cuban rebellion, the Scott plantations were rated to be worth fully five mil lions of dollars. Mr, Scott l>eing an American citizen, made no attempt to conceal his sympathies, Although he committed 110 overt act of rebellion, he aroused the hatred of the Spaniards ard was arrested and torn from his wife one night by a file of Span ish soldiers, who hurried him to a dun geon in the Cubanas fortress. Here he has lain for weeks, but has been so closely guarded as to make at tempts at escape almost equal to suicide. Through a strange and providential chance, the American prisoner has been enabled to communicate w'th the outside world. , Guards are constantly changed at the Cabanas prison, the authcrities fearing that by allowing one set of soldiers to remain on duty for too long a time the) might become corrupted by prisoners or might strike up too good an acquaintance with them. . One 1 lay Mr. Scott was astonished to see a familiar face of a man ue had for merly employed on his plantation. He gave the man fsc J, for which the guard struggled out a letter addressed to John Scott, of Pittsburg. The letter says that about one dozen political prisoners are shot in the fortress every ilay« The fortress is crowded with prisoners, all of whom expect the fatal summons at any moment. Mr. Scott's letter covers many pages and tells stories Of terrible cruelties to political prisoners in Cabanas and Moro Castle. . Cabanas fortress is right behind Moro. Both prisons are girdled and dotted with soldiers. A number of Americans art among the prisoners. The daily execu tions are plainly heard by the prisoners. The executions generally occur about the noon hour. Every condemned pris oner is given a volley from a file of Spai - isli regulars. By counting the volleys the prisoners are able to know how many have been sent to their last account by Spanish lead. . . New prisoners constantly arriving take the places of those butchered. Ihe for tress is crowded, several men sometimes being jammed into one dungeon, forced to sleep on straw and the moist stones, almost starved and kept under the harsh est surveilance. Guards have orders to shoot and kill at any suspicious movements by the pris oners". The p-isoners are not allowed to receive or send letters or papers and even the guards are not allowed to know pris oners' names. Mr. Scott, as an Ameri citizen, in akes a pathetic appeal for help. CYCLONES and cloud bursts killed and drowned some two hundred people in a range of territory from Indian Territory to Michigan, Monday. A witness of the storm in lowa says the approaching cloud looked like an inverted beer bottle, and dipped down at Valeria with appalling suddenness and frightful effect, wrecking oak trees two feet in diameter, or pull ing them out by the roots as if they were weeds. The district traveled by the storm is very fertile. It is settled with well-to-do farmers and villagers. Tim ber and dead stock are strewn over the path of the storm in all directions. A terrible spectacle was presented in one demolished house in Valeria. Six members of a family named Vailous, father and five children, were fou id lying dead among the wreckage in one room. The storm was accompanied by a deaf ening roar, a deluge of rain and hail. Its track was from a quarter to a half mile in width. A great amount of live stock was killed and the corps in the path of the storm utterly destroyed. Its first appearance at Thomas station, Michigan was from the southwest in the form of a densely black funnel-shaped cloud, moving with almost incredible swiftness, and seeming to take long steps. It seemed to have the elasticity of a gigan tic rubber ball, and would strike the ground, then, leaving a foot print of devastation, bound into the air and travel a mile or more before again touching the earth. At Mt. Clemens the cyclone was accom panied by heavy rain. Some 30 houses on Front, Butler and Inches streets were blown down and many of them torn to pieces. The home ot a widow with three small boys, was blown down on their heads, and the four members of the family were pinioned in the wreckage and fatally injured. The town of Oak wood was entirely wiped off the earth, destroping all the buildings and leaving death and destruc tion in its trail. Just west of the village the fields are strewn with dead and wounded. THK Chicago Inter Ocean's roster of delegates giye* McKinley 414 instructed delegates, 14 indorsed and 129 pledged, or 557 in all—the seats of 45 of whom will be contested. The total number of delegates is 918, it will take 460 to nomi nate and McKinley has enough to be nominated 011 first ballot and 52 to spare, even if all the contests go against him. The Electric Railway (I'ittshurg Times) of Wednesday The stockholders of the Pittsburg and Allegheny Traction company and the Al lsglieny and Evergreen Traction com pany, which was organized last week, met last evening at the residence of W. A. Klein, secretary of the two organiza tions, 52 Perry street, Allegheny, for the purpose of further discussing plans. All those financially interested were present. The evening was taken up with an ex amination of the city ordiance regulating street car lines and agreeing to comply with them. McCreery & Roegers, the attorneys of the companies, were instructed to pre pare ordinances granting rights of way through the streets of Allegheny the roads propose to traverse. This ordinance will be presented to Allegheny Councils at the first regular meeting in June, and they will ask that it be passed at once. The paid in capital stock of the two com panies will be $50,000. Secretary Klein Stated that the road would not stop at Evergreen, as was de cided at the last meeting. "For some time past." said Mr. Klein - "there has been talk of an electric line to Butler, and, eventually, we expect to extend our line to that place. From Evergreen we will take it through Milvale, Etna and Sharpsburg. and to the county seat of Butler county. 111 addition to that it is ! our intention to put freight cars on the iirough I"<> ..lie purpose of carrying v.jjct.ibles, fruit, etc, from the farms in Butler county to the city. This is done on the Coraopolis line, and is made to pay, and the farm lands between Alle gheny and Butler are just as fertile, and we should be able to carry equally as much freight. Quay on Potatoes Senator Quav, accompanied by Attor ney J Hay Brown of Lancaster, Pa., arrived at the Union depot, Pittsburg, a: 7:15 a. tn. last Friday, leaving for Canton Oil the Same train at S o'clock. A repor ter of the Commercial C ia/ette was the onlv pre-.-- representative that came with the =enator to Canton Mr. Quay took breakfast immediately on leaving Pitts burgh, after which he chatted with Mr. Brown. Both were in the best of spirits and the senator s demeanor was far trom indicating that he was going 011 an un pleasant journey, with "capitulation or a climb into the "band wagon,' as the tail end of a hog combine pictures the trip. ' Can you give the Commercial Gazette something regarding the significance of your visit to Gov. McKinley?." the sena tor was asked. "There is nothing to say?" was the an swer pleasantly given, but with an em phasis discouraging to similar queries otherwise formed. Mr. Quay filled the lapse bv poetic reference to the beautiful and refreshing appearance of the coun try. He could not remember when na ture wore a handsomer May gown, an', rhapsodized on the refreshing appearance of the woodland, the meadows and the high state of cultivation of Buckeye farms. In this connection he was seized with an idea and generously imparted it »ans fees to the Lancaster attorney. "Now is the time to plant potatoes," said the senator. "Tliev are giving them away and using them for fuel in New York state, and the result will be that the farmers won't grow any this year. The outcome will be that there will be a po tato famine next year, and the man who has some to sell will be in on the ground I floor." . , , Brown did not enthuse; in fact he went to sleep while the Beaver statesman soliloquized on the financial possibilities from a potato standpoint. This reverie may have drifted into matters relative to the object of his trip, at all events it was side-tracked and the senator spent an hour reading the Commercial Gazette. Just before Canton was reached the sen ator asked Mr. Brown about Canton hotels, but before an answer could be given the train had stopped and the driver of a smart team hooked to the governor's carriage, was trying to flag the visitors, while from another entrance, with ( is silken tile set jauntily or. his head, Prince Albert coat skirt swinging out behind, hurriedly approached the champion of protection. His clean shaven features were illuminated with a smile of welcome, and as these two com rades in civil political strife clasped cacn other's hand, no man seeing them could say: "They are enemies." Quay and McKinley, after felicitous greetings, took the rear seat in the car riage. Mr. Brown sitting with the driver, until the Hurford house was reached, where he was dropped. Ihe carriage then proceeded to the governor s home 011 North Market street, the occupants entered Maj. McKinley's private room, and the conference on which the country waits was on. Sentries were stationed on the front porch and at other points of vantage, and the line of defense was one that even Coxey's hoboes would not hav gone against. It was exactly 10:30 when the talk over the "financial question" began, and it was two hours later whenj the pickets were relieved and luncheou announced. The party was one of four —Senator Quay, Gov. McKinley, Mr. Brown and George B. Frease, editor of the Canton Reposi tory. The conversation was entirely social in its character, 110 reference to politics being made. The major, in the absence of Mrs. McKinley, did double honors, and did them wel.' The car riage was then ordered and -he party proceeded to the Ft. Wayne station, where Senator Quay boarded the 1:24 train far home. —Pittiburg Com. Gaz. Terrible Storm .-.t St. Louis. Shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday eve ning, St Louis was visited by a ten iffic stoim coming from the East. Men and horses were hurled about on the streets, buildings of every description crumbled, steamers were sunk with all on board, the grand stand at the race track was demolished and 150 spectators killed in their seats; a freight house was torn to pieces and 35 men killed at their work, fourteen fires broke out, trains were de railed, part of the Kads bridge was de stroyed, dead people were to be seen everywhere, and the total number of the dead was estimated at one tlioiisaiul. Tlie volicity of the wind was estimated at 80 miles an hour, and it veered from blast to West very suddenly. HARRISVILLE HITS.

Ex-Jndge Henry Hice's selection ot J H. Harrah, J. L. Homes and Davii A. Nel son a= a committee to investigate the charges concerning President Judge P. Sharpe Wilson ol Bearer county, is gener ally commended by citizens ol that county who say that the three are mon of nerve, who will not shirk their duty, but yet li able to err on the side of humanity, if error be committed There is no discounting the wide sweep of the discussion aroused by the affair. It has entered politics, of course, and it bids fair to divide the circles of the church. Beaver Falls ministers have gone on a strike against Sunday funerals and say they will attend no more except in cases of necessity. The ministers claim that their action is on the grounds ol morality, and the Sundav funerals are not a work of necessity, but some of the working people go so far as to say that the action was tak en by the ministers simpl? to avoid duty on Sunday. The ministers also talked over the matter of abolish'ng the practice of preaching sermons at funerals, and use a simple form of burial fervice only, and in cases where it was thought necessary to preach a sermon to do it in the chnrch on the following Sunday, and to announce it beforehand. "Rattlesnake" Pete Gruber arrived in Oil City fram Rochester, > T . Y., the other day, and a lew hours later vas jciaring his old haunts in that neighborhood for his summer's allowance of rattlers and copper heads, in company with his triend, Dr. C. J. Reynolds, ol East End, Pittsburg. The harvest was not up to the usual average and after a few hour's on Stewart's Run, they returned with only two. One of these sported a string of eleven rattles and a mean temper, and on his. way to town took a mean advantage of his captors by biting tha smaller snake, while Peter and his companion stopped to rest. The latter heard the sound of the conflict aud after matters quieted down they made an ex amination and found the smaller snake dy ing. Two other rattlers were met but they slipped beneath a rock too large for the hunters to turn over. Pete and the Doctor left next morning for Cornplanter run, where two years ago they captured a batch of 15 beneath a rock that was only three feet square. THE best political cartoon that has ap peared for some time is that of prodigal son Quay's meeting with father McKin ley, the fatted calf "spoils" chained to a post, and the quotation, "I will arise and go unto my father, and say unto him, 'Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before thee, and am no more wot thy to be called thy son. Make me as one of thv hired servants." His majesty, the Emperor Nicolas Alexandrovitell, autrocrat ot all the Rus sians, and her majesty, the Empress Alexandra Feodorovan, were solemnly crowned Tuesday, in the Cathedral of the Assumption in Moscow with the utmost ceremony and in accordance with all the religious forms and ancient rites, f®. 13 POWDER Absolutely Pure.
