A ce.it shont went up- from the crowd around the news bulletin in Butler If.' t Saturday night when the news was posted that the I S. Senate had passed the Davis' resolution with the Turpie Amendment and that same shont in every town in the United States shows the will of the people in regard to Cuba and the Maine affair. The resolutions passed, shortly after 9; P. M. by a vote of 67 io 21 and reads as follows. Whereas. The abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the Island of Cuba, so near our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States, have been a disgrace to Christian civili zation, culminating, as they have, in the destruction of the Lnited States battleship, with 266 of its officers and crew while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and cannot long 1* endr.n l as has been get forth by the Pre.-! lent of the United States in his mes - > Congress of April 11, 1898, upon whi h the action of Congress was invited tberefor. Rcsolvr-1. by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United Ssates of America in Congress assembled: First—That the people of the Island of Cuba are, and of right ought to be, free and independent, and that the Goyemment of the L ri ted States hereby recognizes the Republic of Cuba as the true and lawful Government of that island. Second -That it is the dnty of the United States to demand, and the Government of the United States does hereby demand, that the Government of Spain at once relinquish its-author ity and government in the Island of Cu ba and withdraw its land and forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. Third—That the President of the United States be and hereby is directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States and to call into the actual service of the United States the militia of the several States, to such extent as may be neoe ß to carry these resolutions into effect. Fourth—That the United States here by disclaims any disposition or inten tion to exercise sovereignty, jurisdic tion or control over said island, except for the pacification thereof; and asserts its determination, when that is accom plished, to leave the government and control of the island to its people. On Monday, after an all day session, and a night session extending until 3 public of Cuba as the true and lawful government of that island. " Yesterday noon the President signed the C'ulan regolntionsin the presence of a number of witnesses, and cabled an ultimatum to the Spanish government giving them till Saturday at noon to male reply. The Spanish Minister at Washington demanded his passports; two-thirds of the regular army is on its way to the Southern ports; the bill authorizing a volunteer army has passed the House; the Navy is ready and it is thought that the blockade of Havana and other Cuban ports will be the first thing done :son.<e revenue bills were introduced ir. the House. In Madrid the Cortes opened yester day, amid great excitmient. and the Queen's speech was received with en thusiasm; Minister Woodford received President McKinley's ultimatum and was to present it to day. Premier Sagasta said the outlook was •'■war, war, war." A European statesman haa made the proposition that Spain release and give Cuba to Pope Leo, and the latter de clare the island free and independent. This would avoid the war,deprive the U. S.of the credit of freeing Cuba,and would not be so humiliating to Spain. Even in Australia companies have been raised and have volunteered their service to Pres. McKinley. The 15th Regt. offered its services as volunteers, Tuesday morning. EVERY war in which our country has been engaged began about Easter time, the season sacred to the Prince of Peace. The war between the French and Eng lish colonial forces began at Fort Du quesne in April, 1754. The battle of of Lexington, which began the War of the Revolution, took place April 19, 1775. Although the war of 1812 was not formally declared until SJune of that year, the decisive step was taken by this country April 4, 1812, when the President signed the bill laying an em bargo ou English commerce. In the Mexican war the first actual collision between the United States and Mexican forces took place in April. lK4s,near the ' Rio Grande. The firing on Fort Sump ter, the opening of the great Civil War, began April 12, INfil; finally, the surren der of Lee at Appomatox occurred April 9, 1885. Will the present trouble with Spain add another to the list of wars opened in the peaceful Easter-tide? New York City Beyond Spain's Iteacli. The people of New York City need have no fears about being bombarded by Spanish warships. The land fortifi cations around it, without the assist ance of the navy, would be ample protec tion against any fleet that might be sent here. The guns of a Warship like the Vizcaya cannot throw a shell further than eight miles, since it is impossible to get very much elevation for an 8 or 10 inch gnn in the turret of a ship. No warship could lie outside the Nar rows and shell New York, a* Home peo ple imagine, for the distance is too great: and moreover a ship attempting to perform any such unkind act would l>e under heavy fire in clcse range of the batteries of Forts Hamilton and Wads worth, the latter of which has a commanding position well suited to r<' sist attacking warship*. New York city is to lje congratulated upof» Jhe means of active defence available Co* safety and security from foreign enp mies. Army and Navy Journal.

"This is the twelfth speech I have de livered since the beginning of this cam paign for the liberation of Pennsylva nia. and In any single one of them 1 have made charges so serious, based, however, upon official figures and in controvertible records, against the ex isting political system, that I fail to see how any honest or self respecting voter who has read them carefully can again support a Quay ticket until those charges are answered or proven false. I am asked why, if these abuses exist and this iawbreaklner is so widespread and far reaching, does not some one begin a criminal prosecution. "I have shown that sinee Senator Quay lias possessed control of the funds of the state treasury that the loss to the taxpayers from this one source alone has been $2,500,000. I have also shown that the millions of the state's money that is withheld from the peo ple and used for the benefit of Sena tor Quay's political machine and Sen ator Quay's political friends, is the heart of political corruption in Penn sylvania. Why. then, you ask. If stata officials receive pay for the use of stata deposits, which they convert to their own personal use. are they not prose cuted? "Two very good reasons can be given. First, laws have been enacted and so amended for the past 13 years that those with the backing of the machine dare openly violate the law without fear of harm. There seems to have been a consistent effort to surround those who deal dishonestly with state funds with protective laws. DOUBTS PROBABILITY OF CON VICTION. "Second—With the machine control, as It is today. I doubt if any attempt to convict in our federal courts a self confessed treasury raider would be suc cessful. This belief is based upon past history, since it is known far and wide that those who now control the party have been caught in speculating with vast sums of state's money, and all efforts to prosecute them have failed, and. upon the opinion of a most learn ed lawyer of Philadelphia, who had be fore him the confessions of high state officials, that they had conspired to meet and fully take from the state treasury a large sum of money—who said 'that with their own confession, publicly made, and with collateral proof In abundance, they were so thor oughly entrenched behind potent of ficial influences and political laws, that the cause of justice would surelv be blocked, and, while their guilt was ad mitted. a conviction would be out of the question." "To show how utterly Impossible it is to break through the line of ma chine guards that ar ß stationed at every approach to the state treasury, it is but necessary to review recent history. For months prior to the meet ing cf the last legislature the question of a thorough treasury investigation was agitated. So pronounced was the demand for an hottest examination of the affairs of the auditor general's and state treasurer's office that tt could not ignored. Ordinarily the majority in the legislature is strong enough to defeat any resolution not favored by the lead ers. but at the beginning of the ses sion of '97 the strength cf the anti machine forrcj was unknown; ordM* came to not risk the chances of defeat ing an investigation resolution, but to have one offered by a servant of th* machine, and have a committee ap pointed composed of men who know BO law but the will of their political mas ter, and in this way to hide the secrets and incriminating evidence that is be lieved to abound in plenty. A SAKE INVESTIGATION. The work of the treasury investiga ting committee will long be remember ed as a legislative fake and political Job without parallel. The witnesses who testified before the committee were carefully selected by the Quay leaders. The same stereotyped questions, care fully prepared in advance with a view of smothering every important fact, were asked each witness, and only an swers of the same cut and dried char acter were permitted. Every effort was made to have the committee ask the state officials certain questions touch ing the methods of apportioning these etat» treasurer, and the possibility of getting this money if the state should ever demand it. if banks that have state deposits are assessed or com manded to contribute for campaign purposes, and if It is not the practica for state officials to receive Interest from state hank deposits. "But no mefnber of the committee would ask these and other pertinent questions. It was desired by the anti- Quay people to summon the presidents and cashiers of banks holding state de posits and interrogate them. Several fnembers of the legislature offered to furnish th» names pf hanks that were said to pay regularly for their deposit?, but the committee absolutely refused to conduct that kind of an Investigation, which might have led to damaging de velopments. Senator Kauffman, on March 14, in the senate, offered a reso lution that was defeated, every Quay senator voting against it. The resolu tion was as follows: THE KAUFFMAN* RESOLUTION. " 'Resolved, That, if the house con cur, the sepeclal committee appointed to investigate the state treasurer and auditor general be and is hereby in structed to ask the president and cash ier of every bank with which state funds are deposited the following questions: Have you within the past I'i. months been asked to make a con tribution in consideration of your bank having state funds deposited therein? If so, did you make cash contribution? What per cent on said deposit was de manded and what per cent was paid?" "The committee held its few sittings In Harrisburg, and brought In a vol uminous report bearing upon every thing but the vital points. For the ser vices of this committee the state was charged $3,234.81. It gave the auditor general and state treasurer certificates of character, and complimented their business administration, declared th.it every cent of the state's money was accounted for, and no traces of irreg ularities were to be found in the state treasurer's office. Yet later develop ments disclosed the fact that money had been advanced on padded payrolls, and in another Instai)' p SIO,OOO had been advanced, contrary to la\»>, upon the bill of a Quay politician, as I am informed." STONE'S BROKEN PLEDGES. Mr. Watiamnksr at one of his meet ings early In the campaign stated that William A. Stone was not a safe man to elect governor because he had vio lated a solemn pledge to vote, as a del egate to the last national convention, for the candidate who was the choice of the people. His constituents in Al legheny City overwhelmingly Instruct ed him to vote for William M< Kinley. He ignored their desires, broke his pledge and voted for Quay for presi dent, W. A. Stone at a HUbspqyent meet ing denied thiß, and Mr. YVabairiaker convicted him of a false statement, as follows: "In a speech at Conshohocken last Saturday night, in an endeavor to ex plain the Ctatement that 1 made that X had been informed if, at be had violated his written pledge to the people of his home district when a delegate to the national convention among other things Mr. Stone said: " 'Now Ift me give you the facts. Tlr convention which nominated -Mr. Mc- Afee ap.d myself ax ilnlegates to the St. Louis convention wu composed of 150 delegate!. After nominating us it unanimously Instructed us to vote for Senator Quay. That convention had the full right to Instruct us. and it did 80. After the convention the county committee, which is controlled by plttsburg politicians, adopted a new rule rt-nuili.ng me to sign a paper agreeing to vote in the convention a;i the Republican electors of the "county voted at the primaries held for county offices. Then a contest began between William McKlnley's adherents and Senator fjuav's adherents as to which phould receive the popular vote of that congressional district." " THK FACTS IN Tftt; C.ASR. Continuing. Mr. Wanamaker saicj: "Kntirely unsolicited the following facts have come to me: "When A. C. Itobertson, chairman of the Republican county executive con- wai shown the above extract from Mr. Stone's speech he Bald: "That statement Is untrue. Had any other candidate for governor made a statement so clearly at variance with he truth 1 would have been inclined to think ;hai it was a slip of memory, but. canint us it doe* from such a pro lific lets- writer as William A. Stone, and a mall who has violated two writ ten pWHH to his i"iistitucnts. I am rather in. lined to believe that he knew exactly what he was saying, and made ih stat >mcßt - veral hundred miles from home, n the hope that no ane would contvadlct it. Mr. Stone should have looked over his letter copybook before he made nek a statement, for I have his plcdg.- here In writing, signed by himself, and there can be no mistake a« to what he said. Here Is the letter.' With this Mr. Robertson produced the following letter: ••Pittsburg. Pa., March 27, 1896. "To the Chairman of the Allegheny County Republican Executive Com mittee: "I hereby file with you. in accordance with the rules governing the Republi can party of Allegheny county, my written p edge that I will honorably and fully represent and vote in ac •ordance vith the will and preference Tor president of a plurality of the Re publican voters of the congressional district within which I am a candidate for delegate, whenever expressed by a plurality of thos* voting a preference at a primary election held previous to the meeting of the national convention, in which I am a delegate, after due notice has been given by the chairman of the county committee that they will have an opportunity in said primaries to express such preference, in case 1 am elected a delegate. "I also enclose herewith my contribu tion of S2O, for advertising and other Incidental expenses, as provided by said rules. "WILLIAM A. STONE." STATEMENT PRONOUNCED FALSE Continuing Chairman Robertson said: "As you can readily see, Mr. Stone wrote that pledge March 27, 1896, just the day before the Republican primar ies were held to elect delegates to the convention which met on the following Tuesday and which elected Mr. Stone a delegate to the national convention, r.o that his statement that this rule was adopted after he was elected a delegate is a falsehood. "Now, the rule compelling candidates to pledge themselves to vote in thp convention as the Republicans of their district desired was adopted a week previous to the national delegate pri maries. It is rule 16 of the Republican county executive committee, and was adopted by a vote of 231 to 64. Mr. Stone tried to have the rule defeated at the committee meeting, but failed. "Shortly before the vote was taken on presidential preference in Mr. Stone's district he sent out a number of letters asking the people to vote in structions for Quay, but the people were for McKinley, and said so at the polls. "Reside the letter I have shown you Mr. Stone filmed a pledge in conjunc tion with Robert A. McAfee. Stone went to the national convention and voted for Quay, notwithstanding this fact that a plurality of the Republican voters in his district had instructed him to yotp for McKinley. VETO riIOMISE IS RIDICULED, "I see that in this same speech be says he will veto any Lexow investiga - tion bills. This statement is really laughable. 'Bill' Andrews is his cam paign manager, and Andrews was at the head of the Lew .x committee. Mr. Stone's written pledge did not seem to amount to much, and I guess his ver bal one will be taken with a grain of allowance. Abraham Lincoln once said: 'You can fool some of the people all the time and all of the people some of the time, but cannot fool all the people all the time,' 1 would suggest to Mr. Stone that he commit that adage to memory. "I have nothing personally against Colonel Stone, but as a Republican I do not be'ieve that he would be aij available candidate. The party ought not to 1 called upon to defend its can didate for 'he chief office of the com monwealth against such flagrant viola tions of r ' dges made to the people, The uartv suifereii d. feat eight year* 111)111,1:.; I 1.-lamat'er TTv thesame methods that he is using now to fur T ther C'-lon- 1 Stone's candidacy." OUK war ships will go into action with the motto, "Remember the Maine." The reckoning for that black deed of treachery will be one likely to prevent its repetition. ONE of the most peculiar and misun derstood faculties of man is the sense of smell. Animals have it in a keener de cree. Humboldt says that the Peruvian Indians could tell in the darkest night whether a person approaching was a European, a negro, or an American In dian. In those who are deprived of the other senses, the power of analyzing odors is sometimes abnormally develop ed. The Scotch boy, James Mitchell, a blind deaf mute, could distinguish thp individuals in a room into which he was led. John Mossman, a deaf mute of Parkersburg, West Virginia, was able to locate; oil wells with the cevtain ty that a setter finds partridges. His nose brought him a fortune of five hnn dred thousand dollars as fees for pro fessional smelling. Some odors cling to the surface of things, as the odor of game, which rarely rises much above the ground. Others are rapidly diffus ed through the air. Why is this'; Xo one knows One of the most singular things above the sense of smell is that it is not subject to illusions. Sight may be deceived. One may imagine he sees things which are not before him; he may hear a roar.ng in his ears when there is no sound, but it is said that even the insane are not subject to olfac tory delusions. There are no shut smells. If this is true, what is the lva son, what is the explanation, of the phenomenon? Again, why are the earth mid fields so much more fragrant in the morning than at noon, when the strength of most odois Is Increased by heat'' Evidently science has not dis covered everything yet.

There is every indication that the State Christian Endeavor Convention to !*• held in Harrisbnrg next October will be the largest gathering of the kind ev er held in Pennsylvania. Preparations are l>eing made for the entertainment ot at least live thousand visitors. A gen eral committee with Rev. Dr. George I! Stewart, former president of the State society, as chairman, meets regu larly and in every way is furthering the arrangements for.the big convention. The fact that the convention will be held in the large Chesnnt street market building is an inportant one because it will bring under one roof thousands of Endeavorers. A large choir of five hun dred voices is being trained and the committees on entertainment and-recep tion are doing everything in their pow er to insure the comfort of the visitors. On the second floor of the market build ing is a large hall which will be used jointly by the entertainment and recep tion committees. Here all delegates will register on their arrival and be as singed to their quarters. The ( omrnon wealth Hotel has l>een engaged as head quarters for the State Committee. Near the convention hall are several large churches which will be used for the overflow meetings. The market bniMing will be handsomely decorated and put in readiness for the opening of the convention. The general commit tee has regular headquareers at 1 • South Second street, where a vast cor respondence is being conducted and where the various committees meet al most nightly. WASHINGTON. Pensions have lately benn granted to Robert Stewart and Daniel Winter of Butler; and James L. Smith of Evans Citv. Matthew S. McGarvey of North Hope Large Sales of Iron Ore It is estimated that at this date, be fore a pound of ore has been shipped from Lake Superior ports, the sales of ore for this delivery exceed 10,000.000 tona, or more than the entire shipments of an} - year preceding the last. Indeed, so tremendous has been this buying movement that the full year's product of many classes of high-grade ore is en tirely sold out. For the remainder of the year it will be almost impossible to to obtain Bessemer ores from the Mar ijuette or Vermillion ranges, while the (iogebic, Menominee, and Mesaba have coinporatively little to dispose of. Low grade ores, high in silicon or phosphor ons, or both, ate still to be had, and it looks as if they would bring better prices before the season is over than was expected. In all, the ore sales of the past five weeks represent a value of $28,000,000. The Carnegie and Oliver steel com panies, which own mines in three of the lake ranges capable of an output of over three million tons, are evidently not content with this vast total for their business, and have in th« past week bought 300,000 tons of Mesaba ores from the Rockefeller and Franklin compan ies. The Carnegie Steel Company has made the discovery since it began the use of its new furnace that it can great ly increase the proportion of the cheap Mesrba ores in its furnace mixtures. This will enable it to produce iron at a still smaller cost than before. Several Minnesota mines have lately been sold. Cenith has been bought by the Oliver Mining Company for about $150,000 bonus above the 30-cent royalty rate. It will be improved at once. Sellers has also oeen purchased by the Consolidated Company. Shipments are in progress to the dock from all the five ranges, and are expected at Escanaba in a day or to to take ore to Chicago, Navigation on Lake Superior will not be open for a week.
