WASHINGTON NOTES.
On Friday Senator Chandler announc
ed that he would call up the Quay case
on Wednesday, but their was a general
objection Several Senators want the
Currency bill disposed of first. The
whole question of seating appointees, in
cases where Legislaturer have failed to
elect, has assumed such prominence and
has caused so much public discussion
and interest, that there are many Sena
tors who do not want to establish a
precedent if it can be avoided. The
convening of the California Legislature
to elect a Senator to the vacancy exis
ting in that State, has complicated
matters very much. It is not believed
that the Legislature will elect, and if it
again adjourns without the vacancy
being filled, and Col. Quay is seated, it
is considered certain that the Governor
will appoint Burns. This, it iu feared,
will disrupt the Republican party of
California on the eve of the presiden
tial election, and the leaders fear the
consequences, as they may effect the
electorial vote of the State this fall.
President McKinley transmitted to
Congress the report of the Philippine
Commission recommending a territorial
government for the islands, and refused
to interfere in the Kentucky affair, say
ing that that was a matter for the Leg
jqlnfnr,, o£ tUo to Uuttle.
One of the most inportant chapters in
American diplomacy was written in
Washington. Monday, when Secretary
of State Hay, on behalf of the United
States, and Lord Panncefote of Preston,
the British Amb.assador, on behalf of
Great Britian.Jattached their signatures
and seals to a convention by which the
celebrated Clay ton-Bui wer treaty, which
on more than one occasion has almost
threatened to become a casus belli, was
so modified as to permit the United
States to exercise sole and exclusive con
trol over any isthmian canal which may
be built, England surrendering any
rights which she possessed under the
terms of that treaty.
On Tuesday the Senate agreed to take
up the financial bill after the regular
routine business of next day, and con
tinue it without interference until com
pleted, which action postpones the Quay
case indefinitely.
The War in Kciituckcy.
Thura day was a bad day for Goebel.
He was propped on pillows in his lied
and gradually growing weaker. Col.
Castleman, whom he had appointed Ad
jutant General, refused to demand com
mand of the militia. The Democratic
members of the Legislature met at the
hotel and declared Goebel Governor,
the State Treasurer refused to pay
members of the Legislature for the day
previous; the Warden of the Penitentary
refused to honor a pardon signed by Gov.
Taylor; soldiers were guarding all the
public buildings, including the Execu
tive mansion; Taylor's aud Gobel's at
torneys met and tried to arrange for a
settlement but failed.
On Friday Goebel was resting com
fortable, but on a physician s certificate
Lt. Gov. Beckham was acting as Gov
ernor. The Gobelites appealed to the
State Courts, and Gov. Taylor was lock
ed in his room to prevent the serving
of writs.
On Saturday Goebel gradually grew
weaker, and died that evening, and
shortly after his death Beckham took
the oath as Governor, while Taylor re
fused to honor restraining orders is
sued by the Courts, and Beckham issued
an order for the militia to disband and
go home. Gov. Taylor released a man
named Walker, a stenographer, thus
avoiding an expected conflict.
The public buildings were surround
ed by 1200 uien, with rifles and four
Gatliug guns.
On Monday Gov. Taylor offered to
submit- the matter to any three men
named by the LT. S. Supreme Court; the
Republican members of the Legislature
were going to London, the county seat
of Laurel Co.. where Taylor liail direct
ed them to meet, while the Democratic
members were keeping out of Frank
fort to avoid being forced to go there.
Goebel's body was taken to his home in
Covington.
On Tuesday prominent Republicans
and Democrats met at Louisville and
agreed to the following:
"First—That if the General Assembly
in joint session shall adopt a resolution
ratifying their recent action adopting
the contest rej>orts seating Goebel and
Beckham, the contestees, W. S. Taylor
and John Marshall, shall submit with
out further protest.
"Second—That all parties shall unite
in an effort to briny about such a modi
fication of the election law as will pro
vide for non-partisan election boards
and insure free and fair elections.
' Third - That the conditions shall re
main in status quo until Monday, the
General Assembly meeting and ad
jouming from day to day uutil that
time.
"Fourth—That nothing shall be done
to hinder or prevent a joint session of
the General Assembly for taking action
on the ratification resolution.
"Fifth-That the State contest board
shall meet aud adjourn from day to day
until Tuesday without taking anj ac
tion on the contests for minor State of
fices. This postponement is suggested
in order that the action of the General
the ratification resolution
may be taken first.
"Sixth—That the State troops shall
be removed from the State capital at
once, though with all necessary precau
tion for the public safety. This matter
is to be under the direction of (Jen.
Lindsay, of Frankfort.
"Seventh—That the Republican of
ficials and officers of the State guard
shall have immunity from charges of
treason, usurpation, court martial or
any other such offenses
The agreement was signed by the fol
lowing:
Republicans —John Marshall. Judge
John W. Barr, Gen. Daniel Lindsay, T.
L Edelen, Dr. T. H Banter, David W.
Fairleigh. C. T. Hallard.
Democrats-J. C. S. Blackburn, Rob
ert J. Brec-kenridge, J. C. W. Beckham,
Samuel J. Shackelford, Urey Woodson,
James B. McCreary, Phillip Thompson.
Early in the morning, before he had
received a copy of the agreement, Gov.
Taylor discussed the conditions as he
understood them to be before receiving
official notice, and said:
"Under no circumstances will I dis
cuss the agreement before a copy of it
has reached me. It would lie most un
fair and most discourteous for me to do
so. Speaking generally, however, I
would say that if an agreement can be
made by which au election law will be
given to the people of Kentucky through
the operation of which a fair election
and an honest count are assured to the
citizens of the State, no personal ambi
tion of mine will be allowed to stand in
the way."
After the three gentlemen wbo
brought the agreement had retired.
Gov. Taylor remained alone in his of
fice with the copy of the agreement.
He studied it carefully, went over its
provisions in an exhaustive manner,
and late in the afternoon declared that
he would take no action whateyer until
next day.
"I wish to see my attorneys,'' he said,
"and to consult with them about cer
tain forms of the agreement before I
announce my intention. I will not say
what I intend to do until aftei I have
obtained legal advice. '
The consultation of the attorneys was
held that night, in Gov. Taylor's office
and adjourned at a late hour.
The Republican members of the Leg
islature met at London that day, organ
ized, passed resolutions deploring the
murder of Goebel and protesting against
Gov. Taylor submitting to the Louis
ville compromise.
It was reported that the Democratic
members of the Legislature would meet
at Louisville, and civil war seemed im
minent.
On Wednesday, Gov. Taylor delayed
his decision, and strong pressure was
being brought upon him to hold his
office.
RUSSIA has secured a mortgage on
Persia by means of a new loan, and the
terms of the loan put the finances of
Persia and practically the country itself
into the hands of the Russians, which
will be a menace to the northwest l>or
dcr of India, and probably be a cause cf
war between Russia and England.
THE AFRICAN WAR.
On Thursday of last week Mr. Wynd
ham made the remarkable assertion in
the English House of Commons that
Great Britan would have in a fortnight
180,000 regulars in South Africa, 7,000
Canadians and Australians and 26,000
South African volunteers. Of this to
tal of 213,000 troops, with 452 guns, all
are now there, with the exception of
about 18,000 that are uow afloat. Be
yond comparison this is the largest force
Great Britian has ever put into the field.
At the end of the Crimean war she had
scraped together 80,000 men. Welling
ton at Waterloo had 25,000 men.
Mr. Wyndman's speech was the
strongest defense the government has
yet put forward as to what has been
done and is being done. The general
tone of the morning papers was that his
figures would astonish the country.
Roughly speaking only 80,000 are at the
front. Ten thousand others have been
lost and 10,000 are shut up at Lady
smith.
Excluding these, there are 70.000
troops who have not yet been in action,
in addition to those at sea. Why so
many effectives have not yet been en
gaged, is explained by the lack of land
transport and the organization of sup
plies, to which Lord Roberts is devoting
his experience and Lord Kitchener his
genius for details.
It seems as though the weight of these
masses must destroy the equilibrium
which now holds the British forces sta
tionary wherever they are in contract
with the Boer army.
Lack of transport and organization
will not explain adequately, why when
generals at the front request reinforce
ments, they get them in rather small
numbers.
Knowledge is slowly penetrating to
London that large garrisons must be
kept in Cape Colony to hold down the
Cape Dutch who, as every one knows,
outnumber the British residents three
to one.
On Friday the Government wired
Buller that more troops would be sen t
to him. and he began another offensive
movement toward Ladysmith.
On Friday night of last week Gen.
Buller's army again crossed the Tugela
and marched north towards Acton
Homes, a village about 20 miles due west
of Ladysmith.
On Tuesday there was no news from
Africa, and the customary message
from Lord Roberts. "The situation is
unchanged" was posted earlier than
usual in the lobby of the War < )ffice in
London. The Press Censor was sup
pressing everything, but there were
rumors of a battle being on near Lady
smith.
On Wednesday it became known that
Buller's army was advancing towards
Ladysmith, continually fighting.

WHEN Joe Sibley was making a areat
hullabaloo as a Bryanite in I*9o he was
supposed to be demagogical but honest.
When he raises a shout as a Quayite in
1900 the first quality may remain, but
the second is not discoverable. —Dis

A Birthday Party.
Early on the morning of Feb. 3rd, the
friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs.
John Quinn. of Middlesex twp., began
to assemble at tbeir home to celebrate
the birthday of Mrs. Quinn. From the
north, south, east, and west they came
until the house was filled to overflow
ing. Then it was discovered that each
on" had brought a basket filled with the
substantial* of life, and the ladies
soon arranged these on tables. Then a
great feast took place, and even after
one hundred hungry men, women and
children had been fed, there were more
than "twelve baskets taken up."
After dinner some very fine music
was discoursed on violin aud organ, by
Misses Parker aud Fnlton, on the organ
and Mr. Will McKibben on the violin,
by Jos. McCall. After the instrumental
music the company engaged in singing
23rd Psalm, and were led in prayer by
Rev. W. J. Cooper, aud then all left for
home feeling that they had had a good
day and wishing their hostess mam
more birthday returns.

MECHLING—In this place, at the resi
dence of his nephew, Col. William T.
Mechling. on Sunday last, February
4, 1900. Mr. Thomas Mechling, aged
.S3 years. 5 months and 4 days.
Thomas Mechling was born in Butler
Ang. :»0,18115, and was. without doubt,
our oldest citizen horn here, unless our
present Mrs. Anne Eliza Orr. nee Pnrvi
ance. was also born in this place.
He was the youngest child of Jacob
Mechling, Sr. one of the pioneers of
this town and county, and was born in
a house that stood on the Diamond
where now stands the building occupied
by the law offices of Newton Black, R
P. Scott and others. The old building
was a noted hostelry for many of the
first years of Butler, known as tlie
Mechling Hotel. The founder, Jacob
Mechling, Sr. was one of the leading
citizens of the Co. and one of its first 8
Commissioners, 1803, and its second
Representative in the Legislature of the
State, 1805-0-7-8.
The earliest recollection the writer of
this has of Thomas was as a merchant
in a store with his brother Philip that
stood on the corner where now stands
the Butler County National Bank. Af
terwards he followed the river for some
time, as clerk we believe on a steam
boat. When oil was discovered he
went to the upper fields and followed
the development down to when it
reached Jefferson Centre this conuty.
Near here as it happened, he owned a
fine body of land. This he developed
with considerable success. He also
built a fine residence on this farm and
lived there until he came back to this
town to live with relatives. He was
never married. Was a man of singular
independence of character. No one ever
had to doubt his views on any matter of
public interest. Strictly honest in 'ill
his dealings and at all times outspoken
in the defense of the right he was re
spected by all as a man of truth and in
tegrity. • rp
The services over his remains on lues
day last were conducted by Rev. Bar
row of the Episcopal church and Rev.
Oiler of the Presbyterian church and
were very interesting. The remains
were deposited in the Lutheran South
cemetery alongside of his parents and
other relatives lying there. His par
ents were Lutheran and he was raised
in that church.
Withdrawal.
Chicora, Pa., Feb. Gtii, 1900
Mr. Editor, Dkar Sir:—Having
submitted my name to the Republicans
of this county as a candidate for As
sembly I have been occasionally meet
ing members of the party from different
sections and from many of these I l«arn
that the average sentiment seems to be
that so long as our borough has the
honor of furnishing the representative
in Congress for this district we ought
not to expect additional legislative
honors
Therefore in deference to this sentiment
yon will ob'ige me by withdrawing my
name as a legislative candidate at this
time #
To those friends who gave me their
confidence and promise of support I re
turn mv sincere thanks.
