/.IT" THE CITIZEN. WILLIAM C. NEC LEY - - Publisher THtTRSDAY. MARCH 24. i>>v s - THE COUNTY CONVENTION. The high water of yesterday stopi>ed all trains on the "Bessie" and P. W railroads, and besides this some bridges wsre washed away, which made it im possible for half of the delegates to the County Convention to reach Butler, that morning.

M.. and at that time thirty-one of the sixty precincts were represented, and the convention organized by elect ing Dr. DeWolf, teßiporary chairman, and W. S. Brandon, J. J. Keck and P.

A difference of opinion arose in the Convention as to whether the returns then on the Secertary's table should be opened and tallied, or whether t he tab ulation should be delayed unti 1 all the returns were in and it was settled bv a rising vote in favor of delay; and the chairman and Secretaries are to meet today at 2 P. M. and tabulate and count the returns if then all in. The Committee on Resolutions agreed to a set of resolutions, and they were read and agreed to without dissent. They read as follows: RESOLUTIONS. We the Return Delegates of the Re publican party of Bntler county in Con vention assembled declare as follows: Ist. We renew our allegiance to the principles of the Republican party as declared by the National Convention of 1896, and congratulate the country on the faithful services of our Senators and Representatives in framing and passing the American Tariff Bill known as the "Dingley Bill," and the good re suits flowing therefrom, in opening our mines, mills and workshops to the labor of our own people, instead of hav ing the goods and wares we use man ufactured by the labor of foreign coun tries; in the increased prices the farm ers are receiving for their wool, and sheep and other products of their farms, snd the generally improved condition of the business interests of our country, that are influenced by a protective tariff. 2nd. We heartily endorse the patri otic and business like Administration of our President, to whose wisdom and earnest Americanism is largely due the improved buisness conditions of the whole country, and feel certain with time to overcome the damage done the business interests of our country by the last Democratic Administration, we will then derive the fnll benefit of our American Tariff policy and enter upon an era of prosperity that will inure to the benefit of the whole country and our people east, west, north and south. 3rd We urge upon our Representa tives in Congress the importance of passing as promptly as possible emigra tion bill passed by the Senate and now in the House, restricting the emigra tion to this country of so many of the undesirable class of immigrants that are taking the place and work of our own labor people who need protection from that class the competition of this class of labor. 4th We congratulate the people of the country upon having the President and Cabinet, and Congress to support them that we have in the present emer gency, brought about by the strained relations in Spanish affairs, and feel that our country is in safe hands, and that the l)est interests of the Nation will be taken care of whatever be the turn our affairs with Spain may take. sth We commend the candidates this day nominated for the respective offi ces beleiving them worthy the support of all Republicans. J. B. CUNNINGHAM. J. H PONTIUS. S. A. LESLIE. F. E. KINGSBURY. Dr. Pillow and N. C. McCollough were nominated for County Chairman and McCollough won by a rote of 20 to 12, and the temporary secretaries were continued as permanent. The conven tion then adjourned. THE RESULT.

At th»- Republican primaries in Blair county hist Saturday John W anamaker s candidacy for (governor was indorsed by a majority of 500 and five delegates elected in his interest. In Lan a-ter county the Quay people had everything their own way. and Senator Kanffman. the only indei»en dent member of the last State Senate, was defeated for re nomination. Two of the Franklin county delegates will favor Wanamaker; the McKean c junty delegates are for C. W. Stone; the Clarion county men are unpledged; Venango county is for C. W. Stone: C.imeron county is for (.. W Stone; Adams county if for Coffroth of £om< r st county, and Indiana county was so close that it took the official ballot to decide in favor of The Maine Report. The report of the Court of Inquiry investigating the disaster to the Maine was forwarded to the President from Key West, last Saturday. An epitome of it reads as follows. First—That the explosion that de stroyed the Maine was from the exter ior on the port side, leaving the ram al most in its original position, driving the bow and forward structure to starboard, the after part of the ship swinging 'lightly to starboard and then sinking. Second— That the first explosion was followed by a second in the interior of the ship as" a resnlt of the exterior blow. Third -That the second explosion was in the reserve magazine. This destroy ed the sni>erstrncture ot the ship. Fourth—That the big magazine for ward did not explode. This is demon strated beyond doubt. Fifth—That the exterior explosion came from a torpedo. Evidence that a mine might have caused the disaster was produced, but it was not sufficient to convince the court. Sixth—That the impact came low un der the hull of the Maine on the port side, blowing one of the bilge plates to the surface, where it is still in sight. Seventh -That the ship is broken m two and probably cannot be raised. Eighth— That the forward turret was hurled far to starboard, its top being intact. Ninth the solitary plate show ing above water is a bottom plate, not from along the keel, but on the bottom port side. THE POSITION OF THE BOW AND OF THE RAM. Tenth—That the bow of the Maine now points nearly east, while the rest of the ship lies along a line nearly at right angles. , Eleventh-That the ram of the Maine lies off to port of where the bow lies, nearly on a line parallel to the l»ody of the ship. Twelfth—That no evidence-was adduc ed implicating the Spanish Govern ment oflicials in the explosion or pre paration for the destruction of the ship. WASHINGTON. The cabinet meeting of Tuesday last ed something over an honr and was de voted exclusively to the Spanish situ ation in general, and to the forthcoming report of the Maine court of inquiry in particular. The tone of the discussion was yery firm and determined that there must come an end to the present state of affairs in Cuba. Secretary Long authorized the statement that the understanding before the cabinet was that the report would reach Washing ton on Thursday or Friday: that it was very voluminous, and that its publica tion and transmission to congress would not occur until next Monday or Tues day, as the President would require that much time to give the document the mature consideration its moment ous character required. Other Cabinet officers stated that the general plan included the sending of a presidential message along with the re port. stating that Spain had been called upon to make suitable response to the case presented by the court of inquiry. While the cabinet associates of the president maintained their usual re serve as to the exact character ot their deliberations, yet it was conceded that the discussion proceeded on the theory that the coming report would show that the Maine explosion was not the result of an accident, but was due to an ex ternal cause. There is no doubt that substantial unanimity exists on the part of the President and all his cab inet, both as to the Maine question and the general subject of Cuba. The possibility of a recourse to inter vention. in case Spain declined to make suitable response to the representations we will make after receiving the Maine report has been fully discussed, al though necessarily it has been an ab stract discussion thus far, and no con clusion has been reached, or is possible until the vital questions as to the court's findings are before the president and cabinet. At the same time there is a very evident intention to consider all eventualities, including the recourse to intervention, the recognition of inde pendence and other methods, which ap pear to suitably meet the requirements of such a condition. It is believed to lie the intention of the President, however, to bring about a very material and satisfactory con dition in Cuba by what shall seem to be the l>est and most practicable method of obtaining this end. It is the hope of the administration that Spain herself will so far realize the situation as to see the necessity for such radical action on her part respect to Culm as shall command the approbation of this coun try and thus at once put an end to all differences. Pending a decision on the govern ment's final policy, no overtures oi in timations have been conveyed to the Spanish government, and there is no of ficial knowledge as to how Spain would regard a recognition of Cuban inde pendence, or intervention. The Spanish minister, Senor Polo, requested that a statement be made tha treports attrib uting to him expressions on the sub ject of independence were unwarranted and untrue. Senor Polo says he lias not diicussed this or any other of the pending questions. BABBBBUB6. A call has been issued by Prof. Hen ry Harwood, of State College, for a meeting of those connected with the dairy interests of the State organiza tion. About 155 dairymen have sent word that they will attend for the pur pose of formulating plans through which the dairyman will be protected. Judgments have l>een taken by the Attorney General against several rail road corporations in the western por tion of the Stste, penalties of SSOOO each having been inflicted for their failure to make reports to the State Bureau of Railroads. The annual report of Colonel James H. Lambert, insurance commissioner, for year ending December 31, 1597, shows an increa3e of yearly $4,000,000 in premium receipts as compared with 1896, while the losses were nearly three millions less. Losses paid last year amounted to $6,469,596.52, as against #5,268,850.02 the year previous. Twenty-five speculative, mutual com panies were compelled to quit during the last three years. He commends the purely mutual companies, which are conducted at small cost, honestly, and recommends that these concerns lie pro hibited by the exacted terms of the law from issuing cash t>olicies. The result of the entire fire marine and inland business done in this State by all companies, home and foreign, stock an<t mutual, in 1807, is sumniar ized thus: Premiums received by stock companies, $11,798,732,33; premiums and assessments of mutual companies, $2,146,192,03, a total Pennsylvania bn.- iness, $13,944,925,26{1055es paid by stock companies, $6,967,463,C0, mutual com panies, $1,270,306.08, total losses 88,237- 769.68. COMING from punctilious Boston, this jocular squib in the Globe is truly tough on old Spain: '"Siciin must be almost sorry to-day that she ever gave Columbus money to discover the United States. If she ever declares war against us, she will make another dis covery that will dwarf that of 1492." Republican Primary, March 22, 1898, UNOFFICIAL. ~ Assembly j Dist. Att'y , DISTRICTS » ~ 3 2. jj ?

The last day of school is always ting ed with a little sadness. Russell will not write any more verses on "Tim O' Ray and The Pic nic." Robert Grossman didn't get the spring fever till school was nearly done. Roscoe's soie finger kept him home one day. Newton Johnson thought that Hen ry Clay was called the "Great Pacifica tor. " because he discovered the l'ajific Ocean. You are all right, Newt. Everybody that could find a worm went fishing the next day after school closed. Watson thought it an honor to drink out of Lincoln's spring, but Reub hadn't time to look for water. Examination for diploma Sat. Mar., 26. Walter was pleased with his visit to Pleasant Valley. Lewis Stamm's tumble down stairs might have been more serious. All were pleased to see Willie Lang harst back again. Milt and James made one trip to fisb. Saturday before the last day, as fish is a great brain stimulus. Lois and Clare thought that swing ing on the bell rope was good fun. Now, boys and girls, that school is done, don't hide away your books where you will not see them for months, but spend an hour or two every day in study, at home. The teachers are pleased at the vote of thanks extended them. Newt Riddle and his companions held a "Soleni session" on the store steps after dismissal. The primary teacher was delighted with the present from one of the little girls—a jar of line maple syrup. Perry will soon leave the boys for Cherry Township. Blanche Kelly Clare Forrester, and Blanche Forrester, who played the or gan all winter, have the thanks of all. School-board for coming year: G. A. •Warren A. M.
