War News. ,
Yesterday, Cons ul General Lee sent
a message to Pres. McKinley stating
that all the Americans could not get
safely out of Cuba before Sunday, and
any action before that time would
cause their massacre, hence the Presi
dent's message to Congress was delayed
until Monday. It is said the adminis
tration and Congress are pledged to
drive the Spaniards out of Cuba. The
foreign ambassadors at Washington
offer to mediate.
Last Friday the House of Represen
tatives passed an appropiatton to build
three battleships, twelve torpedo boats
and 12 torpedo boat destroyers. The bat
tle ships will be about three years in
building and cost $8,000,000 each. The
total cost of the others will be about $4,-
500,000, and they will all be completed
within a year.

Work on fortifications and submarine
mines is being rushed at harbors all 1
along the cost. The U. S. Govern
ment has cornered all the coal that will
come into port at St. Tbamas, West In
dies, for the next two months.
Let European powers and potentates
keep their fingers out of our affairs
with Spain and Cnha. The United Sta
tes has always been able to attend to her
own troubles:
Havana Harbor was Full of
Mines.
Details have been obtained at London
of the manfacture of submarine mines
in London for Spain, which was first
brought to the attention of the United
States embassy and cabled to America
on March 5. A man whose cards de
scribe him as being an electrical engi
neer, and whose name was forwarded
at the time to Washington, then said
he sold two Spanish officials in London
sevsral years ago a large number of
mines, eight or ten of which were plac
ed in Havanna harbor. He said they
were made in a special way, had a speci
ally constructed cable, which he can
indentify, if the smallest jiiece is pro
dnced, and he added that some of the
mines were fixed so that they could be
fired from a fort, while two of them
had bulbs so arranged that they would
explode upon a vessel coming into con
tact with them.
The man added, however, that he did
not believe the bulbs would be used in
water so shallow as that of Havana har
bar. Finally, the man exhibited plans
of one of these mines which he said was
the most lkely to produce the effect des
cribed as causing the wreck of the
Maine. It was numbered "2" and was
constructed to contain 500 pounds of
gun cotton.
Lieutenant Commander J. C. Col well,
the United States naval attache, has
since investigated the matter, and has
made a report on the subject to the
United States Government. The facts
learned strongly tend to show that Ha
vana harbor was mined, and they un
questionably prove that Spain purchas
ed the mines for that purpose. The
firm of Lattimer, Rhodes & Clark, elec
trical engineers during 1887-88, filled a
large order for Spain of a lot of mines,
in which were used fourteen and a half
tons of gun cotton.
Tbe work was directly under the sur
veillance of General Fernandez and
Captain Bustamento. The latter was
then the head of the Spanish torpedo
school. By order of these officers the
mines were divided into four consign
ments, for Havana, Ferrol, Cadiz and
Cartagena. The mints were inanfac
tured nnder the direction of J. B. Gib
bons' patents, which are described in
Siemens book on torpedoes and mines.
Gibbons, from whom a representative
of the Associated Press obtains the in
formation, and who fnrnished to Lieu
tenant Commander Col well a written
statement of the above facts and outlin
ed his theory of the explosion which
wrecked the Maine, was then employed
by the firm as superintendent of the tor
pedo department. He also says a sim
lar lot of torpedoes was inanfactured
for Spain in 18' JO.
The manager of the Westminster En
gineering Company, which is tbe suc
cessor of the aforementioned firm and
with which Gibbons is connected, con
firms the latter's statement as to the
manfacture of mines for Spaiu. Gib
lxras who is a former Sergeant of Engi
neers Hiid a government inspector of
torpedoes, believed the Maine's first ex
plosion was caused by what is techni
cally called a ground mine, containing
500 pounds of gun cotton, several of
which were inanfactured for Spain.
He has experimented with these
mines largely at Portsmouth, and says
that, once laid, they retain their prop
erties for fifty years. In addition, Gio
lions asserts that it is absolutely impos
si Me for them to explode accidentally as
the electric currents for their explosion
are formed only by the manipulation
of a complicated keyboard especially
devised to accidents. Three
keys are necessary, which are always
kept in the iKissession of different offi
cers. and even if an outsider obtained
possession of them it would Is- iinpossi
Lie to manipulate the key board with
out instructions.
Gibbons further says the mines and
their connecting cables are numbered,
an'l h" asserts he would la; able to iden
tify them if any part is secured.
A Washington special says: Accord
ing to the naval and other experts vho
have studied the report of the Court of
Inqnirv, the submarine mine which de
stroyed the Maine and killed 2f!rt Amer
ican sailors must have been manfactur
ed, planted and fired by wrwns con
nected with the Spanish Government.
The Senate Committee before which
Captain Sigsbee appeared will report on
this subject. The story is'that our Gov
eminent was informed within 48 hours
after the explosion that it was the resu t
of a submarine mine laid by the Span
ish < iovernment and controlled by its
agents.
The gratest precautions had been
made aboard the Maine from the mom
ent of her arrival in the harbor of Hav
anna nntil the night of February 1". to
prevent anybody from launching a tor
pedo nnder the battleship. It is said
that Captain Sigsbee had information
which led him to snspect that foul plav
would be attempted. He sent Lieuten
ant Jenkins on a secret mission to in
quire into it. and that officer, now dead,
is said to have learned some startling
things.
HAKRISBIRG.
The Pennsylvania railroad company
made its settlements of I*o7 of tax on
capital stoek and funded debt to Audit
or General last week, and sent

tal stock. The amount taxable is S2O, -
858,868.60.
Governor Hastings and party have
returned from their trip to California.
They are all well, and much pleased
with their trip to the golden gate.
George D. Thorn, chief clerk of the
state department, was chosen jastcrdny
to succeed the late Wilson M. Gearhart
as clerk to the pardon board.
The Superior Court has handed down
an opinion that will settle for a time
at least the vexed question of con
stables' fees. In the case of m. Price,
a constable, against the county of Lan
caster, the questions raised were, first,
can a constable legally claim circular
mileage for executing a warrant and
serving the subpoena, and, second, can
he recover fifty cents for subpoenaing
each witness. Judge Wick ham, who
wrote the opinion in the case, decides
that the plaintiff is only entitled to be
paid mileage one way at the rate of ten
cents a mile, and that for serving a sub
poena the constable may, for each per
son named in the process and actually
served, legally charge fifty cents. Ihe
Court says:
"To hold that the officer should be
given only the same fee in every case
for serving the parties named in the
subpoena would produce inequality
and injustice and often subject him to
the temptation to shirk the fnll perfor
mance of his duty. Practically he
serves the writ every time he reads it
to a witness. The trouble and labor is
the same as if he had a separate sub
poena for each person named.
This decision will not settle the mat
ter for the case will be carried to the
higher court.
Insurance Commissioner Lambert

A Strange Proceed ing.
A dispatch from Harrisburg, dated
Tuesday, stated that despite the fact
that Governor Hastings in 1805 vetoed
an appropriation $28,000 to reprint the
famous "Bird Book" prepared by Dr
B. H. Warren, of Chester, a bold at
tempt has benn made in the past year
to reprint the book at the cost of $53,000
to the State.
In 1806 the Department of Agricnl
tnre published a bulletin entitled:
"Diseases and Enemies of Poultry." An
edition of 87,000 cost the State $4Hv.'M,
or an average of 13 cents a copy. This
bulletin was in such demand that on
March 0, IHO7, the Legislature passed a
joint resolution providing for the print
ing of 15,000 more copies in pamphlet
form, "with such additional matter aud
changes as the author may deem neeeo
sory to more fully explain this iuiport
ant subject."
Alxjut a month ago Thomas Bell
Clark, Assistant Superintendent of
Public Printing, noticed in the absence
of his chief that this pamphet bad not
yet been issued, and he began to make
inquiries, the result of which was that
he discovered that there was a great
deal of fine color work in the way of
lithographs being dor.o for the pamph
let.
On March 16, Mr. Beitler sent for Mi
perintendent of Public Printing Robin
son, and after a consultation, acting on
the authority of the Governor, he or
dered the work to stop at once. Mr.
Beitler then wrote to Mr Robinson, r>-
questing a statement as to how far the
work had proceeded. In reply to this
Mr. Bnsch wrote to Mr. Robinson, say
ing that the press work was practically
finished and the pamphlet is now wait
ing binding,
As a matter of fact the press work
was not finished, for tta <ji,tire 80 pages
of Mr. Pearson's part of the pamphlet
were sent to him in proof after tie - work
had been ordered to be stopped on it,
and he was told to liurry it back to
Harrisburg that it might be printed.
This, however, was not done, as Mr.
Beitler heard of the proof in Mr Pear
son's hands, and he warned him by
telephone not send it back. Mr. Pear
son at once brought his uncorrected
| proofs and manuscript tp Harrisburg
and placed theui in Mr. Beitlnrs pos
session.
It may be remarked here that on the
day that the worked was ordered stop
tied on the alleged pamphlet, March 10,
Dr. Warren sent in his resignation as
Economic Zoologist to the Governor, on
the ground thHt ha wag not in full acord
with His Excellency's poiitiuai vi.'.-ws.
Mr. Beitler then set aliout securing a
copy of the unbound sheets, as far as
printed. He was amazed at the size
and scope of tbe work The original
bulletin cover'd 11M pages, but the one
as prepared by Drs. Warren and I'ear
son would contain l.iMMi page* Making
a little further inquiry. Mr. Beitler
found that the State Printer's estimated
total cost of this proposed edition wa>
$53.200, or an average of #3.50 a copy, i
The entire cost of the proposed edition
is 109 times the cost of the original
edition !
But if the people who were interested
in stopping this production were amazed
at the cost, they were more so when
they came to examine the contents of |
tho b )k. It was virtually a reprodnc-1
tion of the famous Bird Book, with
the exception that the magnificent j
colored lithographs of birds were not
printed in groups, but each bird was ,
given a single page.
The Governor said this afternoon i
that, so long as he remains in office, he |
will see to it that not one cent is paid j
for anything but the original pamphlet .
as authorized by the joint legislative ,
resolution. Secretary Edge this after
noon sent to the present State Printer.
Stanley Ray, the copy of the original
pamphlet, with instructions to print it
exactly as was intended in the first in
stance" at a cost of 13 cents a copy.
Wanamaker At Williainsport. !
A large audience turned out Tuesday
night to greet John Wanamaker at the
opera honse in Williainsport. Attorney
General H. C. McCormick presided
and m' le a rattling speech against M.
S. Quay and the jieople in control of
the State organization. Other speakers
were Senator C. C. Kauffman, of Lan
caster; Maj. Merrick, of Tioga, and
Charles Heber Clark, of Conshohocken.
Maj. Merrick created a sensation by ac
cusing William A. Stone of having re
ceived a fee of SIO,OOO form the State
for collecting $8,400.
Mr. McCormick said the members of
the last Legislature, except the "seven
ty six," misrepresented their constitu
ents and obeyed the boss instead of the
people; elected the man to the United
States Senate thev were asked to elect
by their master, and he depicted the
man whom the people wanted. "The
ownership of tne Legislature," he ad
ded. "has been far-reaching in its re
sults and always of the most baneful
character. It" being known that the
will of the master would prevail, the
great corporate interests of the State
bargain with him for protection and
fabulous sums of money have been
raised by this means to further his per
sonal and political ambitions. The
State Treasurer and Auditor General
have for years been elected by Mr.
Qnav. and they have always, been
ready to do his " bidding. The moneys
of tlie State have been deposited in
such banks as would be resp<jusive to
his demands, political or otherwise,"
Mr. McCormick condemned the new
eapitol scheme and appealed to his
friends to stand by Mr Wanamaker.

Thousands Orcet the Ex-Postmaster
General In His Tour of the State,
lie Tells Plain Facts, and tho Peo
ple Are Wnklnsr T'p to the True Sit
uation—Wanamaker's Vigorous Ar
raignment of the Quay Gang.
(From Our Own Correspondent.) j
Harrisburg, April s.—Everywhere that
[ ex-Postmaster General John Wanaruak
-1 er speaks in his tour of the state he is
> greeted by immense crowds. The peo- j
| pie are eager to know the full measure
| of opprobrium that should be heaped
upon the tricksters and ringsters who
have held the state by the throat for
so long with one hand while they pil
fered the treasury with the other.
The recent failure of the People's
bank and of the Guarantors' Trust
company, also the Chestnut Street Na
tional bank, have tied up nearly sl.-
000.000 of the people's money, and this
fact has aroused indignation all over
the state. While it is claimed by state
officials that there is not money enough
to pay the demands of the public
school districts there is yet almost sl.-
000,030 of state treasury funds lying
in unsafe banks, which break, and the
people are the sufferers.
HundreJs of people gathered at a
great public meeting in Montgomery
county, at Conshohocken, cn Saturday
night last to hear Mr. Wanamaker. He
dealt with this phase of official crook
edness with unsparing hand. It was
a fearless and convincing arraignment
of the "gang." In the course of his
address, lasting almost two hours. Mr.
Wanamaker said:
THE BANK CUASHES.
The banks must supply a large part
of the capital with which business is
carried on in our citv. Often when
credit is Jarred by unworthiness and
bad management of affairs wages
cease, because the banks lose faith and
decline to lend their moneys to assist
enterprise. At the present time the
whole citv is aghast with the revela
tions of the four bankrupt corporations
that have struck two men dead and
buried in confusion hosts of others.
The taxes paid by you and others for
your schools, charities and state main
tenance have to nearly a million gone
down In the wreck, only to be recovered
by the assessment of derelict directors
and trustful stockholders. One of the
officers of the People's bank. Presi
dent McManes, 'steps forward manfully
and bravely to make good the state
deposits. Why should he do that? Why
he alone, as if he were at fault more
than others and the only one able to
pay for his own faults and others?
But for him where would vou look
tonight for your state money deposited
In the People's bank?
In referring to the conditions of peril
for our state moneys when I spoke at
Lancaster a week before the bank fail
ed, I have been blamed bv some for
precipitating this failure. Is it not
high time we should be looking for the
money that you paid in taxes that is
scattered around in the favored de
positories throughout the state, which
by rights should not be there at all, but
in the hands where it rightfully be
! longs, doing the good for which It was
appropriated?
CAUSE OP THE COLLAPSE.
The cause of the collapse of these
four banks and trust companies may
be put down to scrofulous politics.
Even the same political pull to drag
In millions of taxpayers' money for the
benefit of We, Us & Co., the favored
of the state machine politics, was suf
ficient. Nobody can make an empty
bag stand up, is an old and true prov
' erb.
The Guarantors' Finance company,
though much younger in years, seem
ingly possessed of the progressive
spirit of the day, has accomplished in
five years what it took the People's
l bank more than a score of vears to
do—namely, to empty its treasury and
close its doois with more than half a
million of dollars deficit. The intimate
relations existing between these two
Institutions, as shown by the disclos
ures that have followed their failure.
I should surpiise no one, as the same po
f litlcal friendship, the same dangerou9
relations, the same baneful influences
and the same daring men were the
controlling power around and within
> both institutions. How closely the ln
-1 terests of the Guarantors' and the
state political machine are allied is
. shown by recalling a single incident
, that occurred at the last session of the
legislature, when, during one of the
most critical periods In the nation's
I 1 history a United States senator left his
post at Washington and went to Har
risburg, where, for a night and a day,
j he lobbied to pass what was known as
, ' the Infamous Guarantors' insurance
j bill, which was intended to give this
, insolvent company the right to amend
i ! Its own charter by a vote of its direct
j ors; to change its plan and classes of
Insurance without authority of the
' state Insurance department, thereby
I placing it beyond the Jurisdiction of the
. | elate insurance officials, and making
. I this particular company unanswerable
to the protective insurance laws of the
state.
SUPPORT IN TIIE SENATE.
From the speaker's room this United
States senator directed the fight for the
- Guarantors' bill. While the house was
In session he Bumrroned members to
him, and on political and personal
. grounds urged them to vote for the
Iniquitous measure. Every branch of
I the state political machine, under his
direction, was put In motion—requests,
| promises and threats were freely used.
But. notwithstanding all these, the
Guarantors' bill, as it then was. that
would have rendered it next to Impos
sible to terminate the reckless business
of this concern; that would have
shielded the friends of the senator who
are now in peril, was defeated by the
efforts of the anti-Quay forces In the
house, known as the Seventy-six.
1 The wrecking of the People's bank
! nnl the Guarantors' company elimi
nates but two of the manv political
flanets which revolve around the stat*
' treasury, as their solar center, In a
constellation of dangerous agencies
controlled to furnish the sinews of po
litical warfare that aid to perpetuate
f the Quiw machine. Could the veil of
secrecy that has concealed the Inner
workings of the state treasury for 20
yearH be torn aside; could the people
see plied before them the millions of
dollars of Interest money that has been
lost to them; could they know the facts
of the alleged reckless speculations un
lawfully carried on by politicians with
their money; could they realize that the
political slavery In Pennsylvania today
has its headwaters Iri a political and
; boss manipulated state treasury, they
would then realize what has been the
fountain head of Quaylsm and of the
ptreams of corrupt pol|tlcf that have
spread over our state.
MACHINE MKTIIODS UNEARTHED.
The oft repeated attempts to honestly
Investigate the conduct of the state
treasury have failed, and the almost
constant suspicion and attack has
found every avenue closed tliat might
i lead to a knowledge of how the state
( money was being handled. Only once
|n 20 years has a state treasurer been
elected that Quay did not own po
litically, ami but once in all these years
have we had a glimpse of the methods
|- employed.
Samuel Butler was elected state
treasurer in 1K79 as an antl-machlne
' man, and upon the examination of the
accounts of State Treasurer Noyes, pre-
I paratory to his taking office, he (Hut
ler) found due bills, orders and worth
less securities amounting, It Is alleged,
» to several hundred thousand dollars,
which he refused to receive as good
assets. The story has been told in the
New York Evening Post and several
other metropolitan Journals, and never
1 yet has been denied, of how Quay, the
f. political boss, and Cashier of the State
Treasury Walters speculated In stocks
with money belonging to the state
'' treasury anil substituted pract|cally
t worthless securities for cash they had
used; of how the approaching time for
j. Treasurer-elect Butler to take his seat
rendered It necessary to make good u
shortage of what Is commonly reported
to be $300,000; of how an exposure was
Imminent, when a friend came to the
, rescue und raised the money. The de
s tails of all this were known to but few
until long after. Walters died by his
pwn hand, and before he- died he wrote
' a letter telling all.
Luring the administration of Hsnry
' K. Boyer, treasurer, now director of
the mint, a threatened lnve§UK»tl9o
forced his chief clerk to leave the cout,
try and he is today a fugitive from
Justice. Th state was saved from loss.
It Is alleged, by the liberal contribu
tions from corporations and Individ
uals who have long since received their
reward by favorable legislation se
cured through the Influence of the ma
chine.
A FAKE INVESTIGATION.
At the last session of the legislature
to prevent an honest Investigation of
the management of the state treasury
a Quay committee was appointed to
make a fake investigation, which it
did. and reported the management for
the past 20 years fauitess, and especial
ly complimented the present official,
and reported every dollar properly ac
counted for. yet a few weeks later the
notorious "indemnity bond" expose dis
closed the fact that the state treasurer
had unlawfully paid the money on the
$25,000 padded payroll, and on the last
night of the session the state treasurer
and his friends were on the floor of the
house appeairg to members to pass
an appropriation bill for 110.000 to re
imburse the treasurer for money un
lawfully advanced, months before the
appointment of the investigating com
mittee, to Sergeant-at-Arms llarrah.
Quay's confidential friend.
Were I the state treasurer, with one
uncertain prop between me and loss
from a rational bar.k. known for a
year and more to be in the quicksands
and with one noble hearted but ill and
aged man standing pathetically In the
breach of the other trusted institution.
I would be in haste to look after all
the other moneys on deposit belonging
to the state. I have by me no list of
the places or amounts, or of the men
responsible for their management, or
to whom they have loaned the money,
but I would surely and without delay
at lea: t satisfy myself that I could get
It when wanted: but the fact is I
would not lose an hour in scattering it
over the state to perform the mission
for which it was collected. Pennsylva
nia does not so much want interest on
state deposits as she wants safety and
straightforward dealing with all pub
lic moneys.
POLITICS AND BANKING.
What a month Philadelphia has
passed through—with its councilmanic
clouds and broken banks.
Unless the political machine and
combination which makes these things
possible can be smashed they will go
on indefinitely, debauching the com
munity and injuring honest trade by
the shock to public confidence.
Very pertinently the outside world is
looking on and asking what Pennsyl
vania is going to do about it.
Listen to this brief word of the lead
ing Republican paper of the United
States, the Mew York Tribune:
"Some Philadelphia people think that
there is a chance to break down the
vicious system under which the city
has suffered for many years, and urge
that this chance should be utilized to
the utmost by following up the princi
pals who furnish the bribe money and
the political leaders in and out of office
who act as their agents, anu by their
control of conventions prepare the way
for corrupt rule. They are undoubted
ly right in their understanding of the
methods of corrupt procedure, but they
will have a long struggle before they
can break down .the vicious system, un
less the voters are much more thought
ful and independent than those of New
York. If they can bring these voters
actually to refuse support to the lead
ers who they know maintain the
vicious system, and continue to refuse
that support, they will have done more
than the reformers in any other Amer
ican city have been able to accom
plish. They should not be too sanguine,
however, that public show of indigna
tion at an exposure of rascality means
any great increase in public virtue. It
Is the voter who makes the bribe taker
and the bribe giver, and conviction that
his creatures have disgraced him does
not insure him against a liking for
•ther creatures of the same kind."
APPEALS TO THE PEOPLE.
The people need only to rouse them
selves to shake off the fetters forged by
time and a merciless, self serving ring.
We are approaching a gubernatorial
and legislative election, and whether
we have a Cuban war or not on the
high seas Conshohocken and Montgom
ery counties will be here to pay taxes
and be governed. No free government
can exist without elections. The kind
of government we have depends on our
intelligence and Ihe interest we take in
selecting those who levy and spend the
taxes. If we are coerced in voting by
corporations or tempted to sell votes as
they did in Lancaster county two weeks
ago for a bottle of whisky or a suit of
clothes, we are only bringing ruin upon
ourselves and our country. We curse
the country with a cancer that will eat
out its very heart. I cannot tax upon
you tonight a recital of the wrongs un
dertaken by the last legislature—de
feated In part by (he valiant "seventy
six" and the faithfulness of the gover
nor in applying the veto power. Let the
plated candidates of the ring come into
power at the next election and you shall
have the bosses owning the governor's
mansion and the new capitol. Contrac
tors will furnish a lot less of building,
but a large lot of money for political
purposes.
The city hall at Philadelphia and Its
contracts and costs Is an object lesson
for you.
The padded pay rolls, the taxation
proposed, the reimbursement of the
Lexow and mileage committees that
were headed off last year, will call next
time upon you, and you will have no
remedy.
THE PROSPECT PORTRAYED.
Do you like the prospect? Are you
pleased to be led about In the Andrews-
Quay chain gang, on the promise of a
place or a free pass on the ralroad? If
you are not getting anything out of
your servitude you are not as smart as
the others who do. and they laugh at
you while they enjoy their innings.
Bushels of railroad passes arc con
stantly being distributed by the Kleam
railroads, by the hands of the politi
cians, to their friends who vote the
way the ini'reads want them to vote.
And this going on In open day, and
known to thousands, and the Interstate
commerce la" notwithstanding. Let me
conclude with a word or two personal
to myself.
Very reluctantly I accvpte d the call of
the Bourse conference to become a can
didate of the Republican party for gov
ernor. I have 110 wish to be governor.
I am simply offering myself for your
use, to break the slate of the bosses
and to get a man for governor accept
able to the p. ople who want to throw
off the yoke 01 the rna< hine. I want to
see the state start anew out of the
wilderness Into a land of anil
prosperity. You can e'.eet your own
governor and you can elect your own
legislature, and be your own masters—
if vol* will.

about dry
goods buying
!Some people—nut many—only see
the price side of a purchase—the 111 imy
to be paid
Others -the great majority—demand
merit- style and quality—that first, at.d
price afterward.
Our method harmonizes the two
features for universal satisfaction—-choice
goods at l«ss prices.
"Less prices" means less than y.m
get equal style and quality for any place
else—Uss because they're bought well— •
from first hands for c ish—and sold for
small profit
Another feature that commends this
store to your consideration is its large
assort 1111 nts.
Come and s» e, and take your own
time about it—we like investigation -do
everything we can to help it. P.vs us
to do so.
