POLITICAL.
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."'

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.

Mrs. Soft'el and the Reward.
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

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.
