ENGLAND and Russia are having a serious disagreement over some conces sions made by the Chinese Government to Russia, and the matter is not yet set tle<L Both governments are hampered at present; England by the South Afri can war, which ties up the best of her army, and Russia by political riot* in her large cities. Should they come to war Japan would probably side with England and France with Russia, while Germany will take what she wants —and the United States will keep out of the mugs,as she should. The Chinese seem to have accomplish ed their purpose of creating dissension among their foes. . HARKISBUHG. On Tuesday Lt. Gov. Gobin issued a writ to the Sheriff of Allegheny county calling for the election of a successor to Senator Magee, dec'd., on Tuesday, April 16th, next. Among the bills presented in the Senate, that day, was one by Senator Williams prohibiting the manufacture and sale of cigarettes. WASH IX G TON. The War Department cabled instruc tions to Gen. Chaffee in China, last week, to take all the American troops from that country to Manila, excepting a picked company for a legation guard. This action was probably taken in view of the impending struggle between Russia and England for the possession ot Tien Tain, the seaport of Pekin, and which the Chinese seem to have ceded to Rnssia. Ab m Stone was appointed P. M. for Argentine. Political. At Scranton, last Saturday Judge Archbald filed a long opinion sustain ing the new legislation for cities of the second class (known as the Ripper Bill) in all its phases, as it was supposed he would and the matter will now go to the Supreme Court, the spring sitting which is in Philadelphia. There are about a dozen applicants for the Marshalship of the West Penn district—including two from Butler Co. The present Marshal's home is in the newly cheated Middle District of Penn sylvania. Tlie Auditors' Report. The Comity Auditors finished their work last week, and their Report, which the County Commissioners have, for years, been adopting as the Annual Statement required by law to be made public by them, appears in this issue. The total receipts of the County Treasurer for County and State pur poses during the year 1900 were $121.- 934 91. and this was all paid out on Touchers", for current expenses, state taxes and percentages excepting $7,361.- 05—the balance in the Treasurer's hands on the Ist day of the new year. A statement of the receipts is made in the different tables; and of the expenses the amounts paid for New bridges, *9,- 008.10; Jurors, $7,683.01; Elections, $4,- 715.90; Court bouse repairs, $4,002.46; Commonwealth costs, $8,097.94; Dix monnt, $3,807.15; Warren, $1,041.00; Penitentiary, $1,751.00; and Re-date ring, $1.3*0.00 are the largest. During the year s'>s,ooo was borrowed and paid back; and tho amounts due from the Collectors exceed the liabilities of the county. The receipts of the County Poor Dis trict were $81,487.67-$14,312.71 of which was in the treasury at the end of the year. A liflt of the exjsinditures, aggregat ing $66,641.74 appears in the Report. The Poor District is in debt, of course, for the bonds issued, but these can be paid off and tho establishment kept up on a very small millage—that for this year being one and three-fourth mills. War in China. At Tien-Tsin, China, the seaport of Pekin, last week, the I3riti«h and Russians were disputing over the limits of railway property in the Russian con cession, and the guards of the two nations were in close proximity to each other. The British had been strongly reinforced and trouble was imminent. The British were acting nuder orders to lay a siding, by force, if necessary, and this the Russians were opposing. A dispatch received in London from Tien-Thin by Router's Telegram Com pany, dated from that city Friday, said; "The Russians are now entrenching in the disputed territory. A company of the Hong Kong regiment, with fixed bayonets, is in front, while two compa nies of the Madras Piqueem, under the command of Major Johnston, are held in reserve. Both the Russians and the British are awaiting instructions from their Governments." On Saturday tlie English railway I authorities put men to work building a siding near tlit; station. The Russians drove them off for trespassing on their new concessions. The laboreis. who were roughly bandied, returned, sup ported by several hundred British troops. The Russians responded by calling out their whole force and pre-, paring for battle. Upon seeing this the British desisted from their purpose of bringing back laborers to work by fore.- General Barlow, commanding the English, and General Woguck. com mander of the Rnesian force, iiad a con ference, and both nid<s agreed not to break the peace for 24 hour.". Intofmn tion regarding tin; situation was cabled to London and St. Petersburg. Intense anxiety as to the outcome prevail* in London. The Russians are entrenching themselves in their concemion. Count Waldarsee arrived in Tien Tsin Tuesday and ltad long and separate con versation* with the Russians and Eng lish commanding generals. lie verbal ly renewedithe propositions which had tieen made by telegraph, and A'hich lb" Russians had declined to entertain. General Wogack declined to discucs th<- question of ownership until the British had withdrawn from the ground claim ed by Russia and occupied by his forces. General Campbell stated that under hi instruction* he could not withdraw from the position. The deadlock, therefore, continues. Count von Waldersee was visibly de pressed at the failure to arrange the question, the seriousness of which he seemed fully to realize. After un hour he continued his journey to Peking. Wananmker on Harrison. Benjamin Harrison will ever stand as a rare type of American character. In the combination of gifts he possessed in' approached Gladstone nearer than anj- other American statesman, He lived m a light that made every ques tion of duty clear to him, and out of his clear brain and apt speech he shed '-'fat on every subject he discussed £ew men had the epigrammatic expression that was given to him. Two words were never spoken by him where one won' . do*. Strange as it may appear to tho.- A-ho only knew him in his official life as President of the United States tbfre are hosts of his old army coin* 1; ulof other close friends who 1.... ■. . known his personal attract iveness. When he became President his personality was merged in an all-ab sorbing devotion to affairs of state that left him without a thought or care of his own principal interests. By day and by night he was as one haunted by the heavy responsibilities of his office. In a cabinet wherein sat the illustrious Blaine and Windom. he led them and his associates all in breadth of vision, keenness of business perception and immense fidelity to even the most minute of public affairs. Always saga cious, fearless and firm, never feeble nor foolish, with a wisdom of sptech and a wisdom to act born of a trn. heart, his life was a glorification ■ > simplicity, straightforwardness and truthfulness. If there was anything he hated more than anything else it was a falsehood. Never false himself, he was the implac able foe of falsity in others. He had a great soul and loved his country. 1 uk ing together his soldier, senatorial and presiflc-ntial record, Benjamin Harrison stands in the highest rank of American statesmen. Time will show how deep in the hearts of the people Benjamin Harrison truly lives. JOIIN WANAMAKER. A MEASURE was introduced at Harris burg last week fixing a penalty of : 10 to SSO or 90 days' imprisonment for any merchant, manufacturer, importer, re tailer or dealer or their agents, salts men or employees in any kind of mer chandise to give a customer any ticket, check, trading stamp or other token or memorandum entitling such purchaser to receive any money or other article of value as inducements to purchasers, to the injury of legitimate business. Harrison's Last iJays. The last intelligent words spoken by Gen. Harrison were to his wife Tuesday afternoon, shortly before he lapsed into total unconsciousness. At that time Mrs. Harrison asked him if he recog nized her, and he replied that he did. At noon of the same day he recognized his aunt, Mrs. Newcomer, feebly greet ing her as "Aunty" when she came to his bedside. In the sick man's delirium, which lasted from late Sunday night until he became totally unconscious Tuesday afternoon, his mind wandered back over the great scenes of his life- charging with his column, or speaking before some great political convention. A. L. Mason, a personal friend, in tel ling of his last call on Gen. Harrison, just before his last illness, said: "We conversed on a variety of sub jects. I had just finished reading his article on the Boer war and rallied him by saying that when he should go abroad the next time he would not be an ac ceptable guest at the English court. He answered with great quickness, I can go to see Kruger.' He talked for a time about the Presbyterian creed. He was the chairman of the committee on re vision. He took up the Cuban question, llis point on this was that we bad placed ourselves in a position before the world where our sincerity iu dealing with Cuba could justly be questioned. He was emphasizing his former statement that the moral law bound the honor of nations as well as of individuals. His reference to the Philippines and Porto Rico matters expressed surprise that the Supremc court of the United States had not yet handed down its decision. "Later the conversation turned on trusts. He said he had very definate ideas on the regulation of trusts, and believed that the problem is fairly with in the reach of legislation that would commend itself to the common sense of a'l good people. He quoted at length from memory from the articles of in corporation of the steel trust, and ex pressed a belief that a corporation should not be admitted to do business in any State unless it carried on its principal busines in the State where it was organized and was an actual and bona fide corporation of that State, not only in law but in fact. He remarked that many of the great trust combina tions organized under the laws of New Jersey transacted no business in that State and were not intended to transact any business there. Burning of The Pittsburg; ivxpo. The "Point'' in Pittsburg was tie scene of a great fire last Sunday 111''ru ing which originated in a French Haw Felt works on Duquewio St.. and spread over a livery stable and two lumber yards, and then across the trcet to main buildiuK of the Pittsburg Expo., which was gutted in about twenty mill | utes. During the tire one firemen was caught in a coil of electric wires and instantly killed; several others wen hurt; twelve mules were burned to death 111 the livery stable. The Expo will be rebuilt immediately. Capt. Brown, superintendent of the bureau of building inspection, says the fire at the Exposition was a l< on. Speaking of the remarkable rapidity with which the flames ate up the big building, he said, "In this City the theatres which hold, on a very liberal average, about 2,.'>00 people, ai d have several fire exits, take from five to eight minutes to empty. There has been many a time when this building that burned down was packed with betwe. >1 10,000 and 15,000 people There nri only seven fire exits, I think, to it. <>n Sunday when the roof caught fire until nolxxly could have lived in-id those walls, was only twenty minutes at the most. Think what would have hap p< ned hud, there been thousand" of pto tilt in there. 1 have always insisted on fire exits there and no loose chair.- around on the floor to create a panic. Tin building ought to be a fireproof one when it i* rebuilt." Concord t\v;i. Piatt R. Sutton lately appointed ta.\ collector has entered upon the duties of his office.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WISHING AND WORKING. It is popularly believed that warts can be wished away. But the fanner who sat down and tried to clear his field by wishing the weeds away would soon find his crops gone. It takes working to get rid of weeds, and the man with the hoe must put in many a long day before he can take a well earned rest. It is a singular fact that a great many people treat certain forms of disease as warts are said to be treated—by wishing. This is especially so in the ease 6f coughs. "I wish this cough didn't bother me so," they say. "1 wish my cough didn't keep me awake so much," and so on. It never seems to occur to them that it takes active measures to get rid of a cough ; that a cough is like a weed, growing right along, and the longer it grows the deeper it strikes its roots. If a man heard the alarm of a rattle snake near by he'd jump aside at to avoid the attack and then seek to find and destroy the dangerous reptile. The cough is a danger alarm as much more significant than the rattle of the snake as the disease it heralds is more dangerous than the snake bite. FEW PEOPLE ARE KILLED by snake bites each year. Consumption slays its thousands and tens of thousands annually and it is the fatality of con sumption which makes the cough that heralds it a danger signal tc be promptly heeded. Don't wish the cough would stop. Stop it ! «I had long been a sufferer from chronic catarrh of the head," says Clias. T. Stone, Esq., of Whitford, Chester Co., Pa. "About last May it developed into a very disagreeable and hacking cough, with soreness and fullness of the chest. Doctors here pronounced it bron chitis. I tried several doctors and took different remedies without receiving any benefit whatever. I then consulted Dr. R. V. Pierce, in reference to my case. The first bottle of his 'Golden Medical Discovery ' stopped the cough. I useil several bottles, with Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, and have since had no symp tom of a return of the cough." « Last spring I hail a severe attack of pneumonia which left me with a very nad cough, and also left my lnngs in a very t»ad condition," writes John M. Russell, Esq., of Brent, Cherokee Nat., Ind. Ter. "I had no appetite and was so weak I could scarcely walk. My breast was all sore with running sores. I got two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which I believe saved my life. I cannot express my gratitude to you. lam able now to do very good work." The surest way to stop a cough is to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis~ covery. It cures obstinate and deep seated cough*, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs and other diseases of the organs o? respiration, which if neglected or unskilfully treated find a fatal ter mination in consumption. In hundreds of cases a cure has been effected by the use of « Golden Medical Discovery " after all other means and medicines had failed to benefit and doctors had said, "There is no hope." DON'T GIVE UP HOPE. Let every one who suffers from respir atory and pulmonary diseases cherish hope until Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has been given a fair and faithful trial. It always helps. It al most always cure*. Ninety-eight per cent, of those who use " Golden Medical Discovery " find in it a perfect and per manent cure. Even the two per cent, acknowledge benefit and help from the use of the medicine. " I want to say a word in favor of your grand medi cine," writes Mrs. Priscilla Smail, of Leechburg, Arm strong County, Pa. "About thre* years ago I was taken with a bad cough; had night - sweats ; would take coughing spells and have to sit up in bed at night for an hour at a time. When I would walk up hill I could hardly breathe; would get all stopped up in my throat. I aid not try any doctor but I saw .the advertisement of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and decided to try it. I took three bottles which cured me. When ever people tell me they are sick I say to them, * Why don't you get Dr. Pierce's medicine? It cured me and will cure others.' " A GREAT FREE OFFER.
