At Washington last week the name of Gen. Brooke, who is soon to be retired, was mentioned for Governor. The "Citizens' Committee of Twenty- Five" of Pittsburg, proposes following up its victory in the city by nominating a full county ticket next year. Charles M. Schwab, President of the United States Steel Corporation and former President of the Carnegie Steel Company, was mentioned in political circles last week not only as a possible, bnt as a probable candidate for the United States Senate. A "boom" has been started for Hon. Thomas W. Phillips, "Our own Tom," for Governor, and the Republicans of the States might go further and fare much worse. Be made a good Congressman, why not a good Governor? Congressman Jack, of Indiana county, say that his friend, Elkin, is not re sponsible for Gov. Stone's shortcomings, and that John is in the fight to stay. The Republican primary for Law rence county will be held April 12. The action of the Co. Committee in declar ing against Elkin will have some in fluence on the election. The Republicans of Westmoreland county are anticipating a warm politi cal fight this spring. A dispatch from Greensburg dated Saturday, said: "The combining of issues of Col. George F. Huff, for many years the leader of the so-called anti-Quay faction, and those of former State Treasurer James S. Beacom, Major E- E. Robbing, and oth ers of the old Stalwart stripe came as a great surprise to many "leaders". Con troller John H. Browa and Judge John B. Steel will put a ticket in the field in opposition to the slate of the new com - bine.. Under the rules of the new Huff- Beacom combine the first is that Mr. Huff goes to Congress. The old Quay faction gets nearly everything else, and a surprise was sprung this morning when it was told that the new combine had fixed on John D. Hitchman for county treasurer." W. F. Penn Republican County Chairman of Washington county, has sent out a notioe to Beaver and Law rence counties in regard to the calling of a conference of representatives to dacide the manner of making a Con gressional nomination. The conference is beipg held at Hotel Henry, today,and Mr. Penn stated that Washington coun ty won Id hold out for a nomination by a popular primary. He further said he was confident tbat if thiß manner of nominating was adopted Congressman E. F. Acheson would be reassured p. re noini nation At Pittsburg. Monday, some sort of a ' "boom" for Frank Torrance ot the Standard M'f'g. Co., some of whose staff is in our County Home was start ed. It has been a common rumor in Phila delphia that United States Senator Boise Penrose would prefer an election as Mayor of Philadelphia to another term in the United States Senate. The Senator, while in Philadelphia on Sunday, would not confirm these ru mors. He and Attorney General Elkin appear to be quite friendly in their per sonal and political 'relation.*. Senator Flinn. it is said, does not hold the opin ion that Penrose is willing to quit the Senate. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT did the wife thing in b itting down npen all further discussion of the Schley-Sampson affair —declaring that neither was in com mand at the battle, and above all in de claring a fact that has been patent to all versed in naval affairs from the be ginning, and that is that it was a "Cap tains' Battle". When the Spanish came out all the captains went right at them, paying no attentiou to the movements of the other vessels of our fleet except ing when tho Brooklyn forced the Texas to back water by circling around her; and they staved right in the fight to the finish And of all the captains there that day, the most heroic figure was tbat of our old friend, Captain John W. Philip, of the Texas, who was tho only one to call his mon together after the battle, and ascribe the victory to the God of all Battles. THK Brooklyn bridge was encased in ice last week, and was a beautiful sight. Sludli aud sleet tied up truffle in New York, and broke the wires. Philadelphia was, for a time, completely isolated from the iest of the world. To the Republican Voters of Butler County. GENTLEMEN— The question, "Are you going to be a candidate for Congress iin 1902?" has been asked me so often by many of the 2445 Republicans who supported me in 1*96; and by so many Republicans who did not vote for me tbat year: that I feel it a duty to make a reply,and I have chosen this method of doing so. .... Upon due consideration, I .hereby an nounce myself a candidate for Congress in the campaign of 1902, before the Re publican Primaries Some of the reasons for having come to this decision, are as follows: Ist. My friends claim, that I am the logical candidate because I made the race with Dr. Showalter in 1896, and when we were both defeated in the Dis trict Convention of that year, and Mr. Davidson who was nominated and elect ed died, I stood aside and permitted Dr. Showalter, at subsequent primaries, to receive the undivided support of the Republicans of the county, thus greatly strengthening the claims of Butler county in the different District Conven tions which followed. 2nd Dr. Showalter having been elect ed three times has received for Butler county her claims in full in the old Dis trict of Beaver, Butler, Lawrence and Mercer counties; and now Butler coun ty enters the new Congressional District of Westmoreland and Butler counties, without any political debts to pay. With a new candidate Butler county has claims for the first nomination in the new district which are fairly good It could not be said to a new man—you have been, or are in Congress - and cer tainly not to me if I should be the can didate, as I have never held any office in Butler county, although a native of the county and a Republican all my life, nearly all of which I have spent within her borders—l have taken my defeats philosophically—l have always support ed my rivals when nominated and the cause they represented, by act and speech to the best of my ability. Believing with my friends that my claims upon the nomination for Con gress have* never been stronger than they now are, and, as politics go, that the instructions of Butler county for Congress should be, at this time, con ceded to me, I have submitted my name as a candidate. I most respectfully solicit your sup port. If I am successful, or if this nomination is conceded to me, I promise to use my best efforts to have presented to the District Convention of the Con gressional District, in proper form, the claims of Butler county; and if possible, to procure for our county the first can didate in the new district. Butler coun ty will be entitled to a part of the pres ent Congressional decade. Why not the first part ot it? That Butler county should not receive as great a part of the time as Westmoreland, (as she should not) is no reason why she should not receive her proper share first? I am the candidate of no one man, clique, or faction. I am under no pledge, promise, or handicap, nor will I be lam a Republican Candidate; and if nominated and elected to Congress, I expect to be held responsible to my party and my constituents for my con duct, political and otherwise. Yours very truly. J D. MCJCNKIN. Butler, Pa., Feb. 24, 1902. Welcoming the Priuce. Prince Henry of Prussia, representa tive of his brother, the Emperor of Germany, at the launching of the latter's American built yacht reached New York Sunday and was welcomed as a sruest of the Nation. The lar.d batteries that guard the outer harbor sounded the first greeting in a ponder ous salute of'2l guns; the rifles of a special naval squadron assembled in his honor re-echoed the sentiment; there yere verbal greetings from the repre sentatives of President Roosevelt, the army, the navy and the city of New York, and a great crowd lined the way in the city to see the German sailors and the prince. The four ships of Admiral Evans' squadron were prettily illuminated that night. The battleship Illinois, at the head of the fleet, had her name in elec tric lights across the bridge in letters two feet high. Along either side of the ship, at a height equal to the top of the pilot house, she displayed in lights the words: "Welcome, Prince Henry." Along the rail, from stem to stem, and up the stays to the tops of her millitary masts, and up and around the tops of her fun nels, were strings of incandescent lamps. The showing made by the Cincinnati was the best in the squadron, excelling that of the flagship. The lights were carried up her masts to the truck and out on either end of her long signal arm. The effect was a giant cross of fire, with an illuminated base, and the whole standing out against the dark ness, made a moat effective picture. THE announcement that President Roosevelt had instructed Attorney Gen eral Knox to begin proceed tngs agair.st the Northern Securities Company had a startling effect on Wall street Usually advance news of Government moves and policies is obtained by bankers aud brokers from speculating Government employes. President Roosevelt an l At torney General Knox, however,, had per mitted no leak. The result was a de cline of more than $55,000,000 in stocks. SENATORS Tillman and McLaurin of S. C. have been making nuisances of themselves for months and now tbat the Senate has an opportunity to rid it self of one or both of them it ought to do so. THE Penn'a Co. intends building a Union Station of rare splendor in Chica go, at an estimated cost of fifteen mil lions. The West Niiiibury Institute. The Fanners' Local Institute held in the Academy Hall, of West Sunbury, February 21st, 1902, was a grand suc cess. The first sessic nat 1 p m., was presided over by HI race Glenn. The address of welcome was by Ethan Mc- Michael. who with well chosen words welcomed the visiting farmers. Thi< was ably responded to by C. II Book. The program of seventeen speakers was well carried out. G. W. Meals gave lots of good thoughts on profitable and unprofitable feeding; R. P. Blackon best kind of fertilizers of which he advocat ed, burnt lime and clover; John Critch low spoke on ths 18th census; Mrs. M J. Bryan read a paper on poultrv rais ing which was instructive and profit able to all; Rev. Stoops contrasted California and Pennsylvania, which wns interesting to the audience, tho contrasts being so great; Zack Tinker spoke ou hog raising, which was humor ous, as he compared our hogs with the razor backs of West Virginia: R. C Thompson spoke on benefits derived from Institutes. The evening session 7:30 p. m. was presided over by G. B. Turner Esq , the sleighing being good, the largo Chapel hall was well filled. O. W. Stougbton told bow to build tbe silo and fill it and as Mr. Stonghton ia a practical men his address was well received; J. M. Thompson spoke on free Rural Delivery and as this is a live question his address held the close at tention of tbe audience; Norman Glenn gave a practicul leeson on sheep raising which was instructive to the farmers. A paper on gardening was read by Noah Henry as the speaker is good authority on this topic he was listened to with much interest. Mies Anetta Black read an excellent paper, the advantages on tbe farm which is not easy to excel. The American farmer was discussed by U. H. Book and his address was well received; Mother's Fool, by Roy Wick which was well rendered. The Insti tute was interspersed with music by Prof. Wm Gibson, O. R. Thorn. H. C. and Deloss Hindman, Miss Black and i Mrs Russell, Miss Fannie Wick, piano : ist which was well applauded. • On motion we resolved to have a farmers picnic next Juno and Dr. Hock , enberry said he would bave his Grove in good order. A number of candidates were in at tendance offering themselves as servauts for the people of Butler county. WASHINGTON NOTES. j Prince Henry arrived in Washington, j Monday, saw both the House and Sen- ; ate in session, and dined with the Presi-' dent that evening. Congress attended strictly to business last Thursday. The Indian appropria- j tion bill, which had been nominally be fore the House for two days, was really j given some consideration. Just before • the close of the day's work Representa- ' tive Fitzgerald of New York created a sensation by moying to strike out the j item appropriating money to pay the j salary of Superintendent Naidin of the i Point Pleasant Indian school in Michi- ] gan. He read from a Senate document ; charging gross immoralitiy in that j school. He made an impassioned speech, ! contending that it appeared that either j Secretary Hitchcock or the Indian Bu- j reau suppressed the report, which he , read from the. document printed at the j instance of Senator Turner. He wanted . to know why such a man was kept in i the service. He was told that the clas- ■ sified service law probably held him. "In the name of Heaven, if the Presi dent can dismiss a laborer suspected of libeling u naval officer, why can he not ( remove a man having such ! poor control over the pupils committed ! t J his care?" exclaimed the New York- j | The chamber of "the most dignified; body on Earth" was the scene of a fi«ht , last Saturday. Senator Tillman of j South Carolina charged that his col- j league Senator McLaurin had voted for j the ratification of the treaty of Pari", ! being bribed thereto by Federal patron age bestowed upon him. The HCCUMI- , tion was uttered during Tillman's: speech on the Philippine tariff bill, and ' was incited by taunting questions from Spooner of Wisconsin. McLaurin was ; absent when the charge was made, but i entering the chamber denounced it as a ; malicious falsehood. Tillman sprang at j him, hitting him above the left eye. A 1 counter blow brought blood to Tillman's j nose, and the two Senators rolled over | the floor in ferocious embrace. When ] they were parted an executive session was ordered, and fcr three hours thej outrage upon parliamentary decorum was debated. Both Senators apologized, but the affair was referred to the Com mittee on Privileges and Elections, and meanwhile neither of the pugilistic statemen will be allowed to act officially without consert of the Senate. The stroke of paralysis suffered by Justice Gray, of the United States Supreme Court, last week, foreshadows a change in the composition of that body in the near future. With one ex ception Mr. Gray is the oldest justice in point of service on the bench, and is much the oldest in years, being nearlv seventy four. While it is reported that he will recover and resume his place on the bench, there is reason to believe that, in view of MR age nnif physical de ficiencies. he is nearing the close of l is active career. Attorney General Knox lost no time in acting upon the case of Arthur 11. Noyes, United States Judge at St. Michael. Alaska, whose despotic judi cial procedure at Cape Nome resulted in his being fined SI,OOO by the United Stites Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco. The Attorney General's opinion speaks for itself. He finds that Noyes brought the court into disrespect and impaired public confidence in his administration of. justice. In other words, this man. appointed to adminis ter the laws of the United States in a remote territory, where his conception of justi re and honor were for a time the sole security of lifo and property, ftp pears to have assumed the pait of a judicial highwayman. Attorney Geu eral K LOX'S recommendation thnt he be forthwith removed from office was speedily followed by executive action. THE Canadians already claim the North Pole, and in iheir Parliament, last week, a member from Nova Scotia declared that if the Yankees do not be have theiufcelvts, and it becomes neces sary to fight. "We will be rett'lv in 04 hours, and after six months of it we shall enpture their capital and an lex their country to Canada."' Jackuviile. J. C. Brown and Mr. Wick of Concord township were the guests of I. N. Fox, Sunday Mr. Brown was a former resident of this neighborhood. John Hildebrand and wife of Butler made a short visit to Jacksville, last; week. J. L. and M. Reichert visited relatives iu Ell wood and vicinity, last Thursday and Friday. Mrs. M. D. Maxwell and family were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. A Stickle, Monday. Some people of this vicinity attended the play in Slippery rock, Saturday. Word wa3 received here Saturday evening that Mrs D B Sinclair, a former residenct of Jacksville had pass ed to the great beyond C. W. Eppinger expects to move this spring to a new location. M. A. BY a fire in the Park Avenue Hotel, New York, early last Saturday morning eighteen persons were killed or burned to death and about fifty injured. The hotel occupies a whole block between 32d and 33d streets, is one of the largest in the country, coat three million of dol lars, was built by A. T. Stewart as n home for working women and was sup posed to be fireproof, but a fire that started at the foot of tin elevator shaft burned a part of it. A NEW "liner" launched at Cramp's shipyard, Philadelphia, last week, is 577 feet long and will displace 21.700 tons of water the largest ship ever built in this country. New Justices 01 the Peace.

Mrs Soffol was taken to Pittsburg on the 11:05 train, Tuesday morning, and upon her arrival there was taken to the Court House. Bail could not be secured immediately and she parsed two hours in jail, and was then taken to the home of her sister Mrs. Miller of Mt. Wash ington. » County Commissioners Mercer and Murray of Allegheny county heard the claimants for the Biddle boys, Monday. The Pittsburg fellows seem to be try ing to swear the Butler boys out of their fair share of the money. They claim that those from Butler were many feet behind them and did not take any part in the affair until the bodies of the Bid dltis were lifted into the sleighs, while the latter allege they were -'in at the death" and took part in the battle and reached the prostrate bodies of the Bid dies simultaneously with the Pittsburg detectives. Because of this the Com missioners consented to grant a farther hearing today, when each side will pro duce additional testimony to substanti ate the respective claims. The witnesses and the order in which they were examined were Raney Hoon, F. M. Holiday, Aaron Thompson. Bob't Ray, Butler; J. A. Snyder, J. B Grego ry, Cooperstown; J. G. Splane, Charles McGovern, John Roach and Albert Swinehart, Pittsburg Another Kailroad. A dispatch from New Castle dated the 20th, said: William Lockhart is at the head of a *"2,000,000 syndicate which has leased all the fireclay, limestone and coal territory in the Slippery Rock dis trict of Lawrence and Butler counties. The company will begin building a railroad up Slippery Rock creek as soon as the spring opens. It is understood that contracts have been let to the Arm of John Wertenbach & Co. of McKees port for shipping the stone and opening the clay pits. THE rioting iu Barcelona, Spain, LASL week, was a serious matter —five hund red people were reported as killed ant wounded daring an engagement be tween the rioters and troops iiwlea.se of Miss Stone. Miss Ellen M, Stone, the American missionary who, with Mine Tsilka, wss captured by brigands in the district oi Salonika Sept. 3 last, has been releasee and arrived at Strumnitza, Macedonia at 3 o'clock last Sunday morning. Miss Stone was taken prisoner brigands on the Turkisb-Bulgaiiai frontier September 3, 1901. and held foi ransom. Her captors demanded sllO, 000; failure to pay this, the brigands declared, would result in the death o; Miss Stone on Octobers. By the timt the news reached this country but a few days remained to raise the sum asked and it was only by the greatest effort! that $61,000 was secured. The brigand: were so notified, and they agreed to ac cept that much for the release of theii prisoners. United States Conrul Dickinson, through whom the negotiations wen carried on, came to a deadlock with th( brigands by refusing to deliver the ran soin in advance of the freeing of Miss Stone; their pr."position was that th< money should be sent first and an op portunity afforded them to cover theii tracks and dispose of it before their cap tive was set at liberty. Miss Stone and Mine. Tsilka, the wift of an Albanian preacher, were the onlj members of the missionary party taken The others in the party were robbed and released, after seeing a Turkish captive murdered, in order to impress them with the earnestness of the brig ands.
