WASHINGTON NOTES.
Sptake; Cannon announced the bal
ance "f his committees last Saturday,
anC CcHuff is well placed, getting on
" the cxriiimittees on railways and canals,
■ mines and mining, and levees and im
provements of the Mississippi river. Jo
seph C. Sibley of Franklin retains his
place on the committee on postoffices
and postroads and got the chairmanship
of the committee on manufactures.
This latter place was giyen him instead
of membership on the committee on in
gular affaire. William O. Smith of
Pnnxsutawney is on two committees
reform in the civil service, and the mili
tia.
Tbe report of Secretary of the Navy
W. H. Moody for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1903, shows a gratifying im
provement in this great arm of the ser
vice of the National defense during that
period. The efficiency of officers and
men is declared by the Secretary to
have advanced, while substantial ad
ditions were made to the avaiiabl e force
of fighting ships. At the close of tbe
year we h*d 10 first-class battleships, 28
cruisers, 1 second-class battleship, 13
monitors, 67 gun boat*, 34 torpedo boat
destroyers. 31 torpedo boats and 8 sub
marine boats. At the same time there
were under construction 14 first-class
battleships, 16 cruisers. 3 gnn boats and
6 torpedo boats. The Secretary gives
statistics as to the result of the target
practice which show that our gnnnetß
are attaining a very remarkable profi
ciency and that whenever they may be
called upon to utilize their skill in act
ual warfare they will give a most ex
cellent account of themselves.
AfteT the House of Representatives
passed the Cuban Treaty bill it was pre
sumed to have completed the duties for
which the extra session was called. It
was supposed that the Senate would
then take the measure and niter discuss
ing it about a week, or until the day be
fore Thanksgiving, it wonid vote on it
and adjourn. But instead the Senate
merely fixed a date during tbe regular
session, December 16, when it would
vote. At this juncture Speaker Can
non, who is very jealous of tbe prerog
atives of the House and does not want
the Senate to forget that it is not the
whol£ show, announced that he would
not stand for any adjournment until
the work for which the extraordinary ses
sion was called had been completed. Tbe
Senate, being unable to adjourn for
more than three davs without the con
sent of the House, and vice versa, was
therefore obliged to change its mind
about going home without having done
anything.
The extra, session of Congress, ended,
Monday noon, and the regular session
immediately began. This called for a
message from the President, and he had
a good one, which Dalzell reviewed as
follows
"I regard his treatment of the rela
tion** of capital and labor as clear and
conservative, and showing a wise con
ception of what he believed to be and
what we all believe to be the individual
right of every American citizen. He is
equally clear in bis views upon the im
migration question, recognizing the
need to a reasonable extent of a better
clans of immigrants who will in time
become good citizens, and the undesir
ability of a large class to whom we are
•objected, despite oar present laws.
With reference to monetary legislation,
the message, and I think very properly,
relegates any action to a fntnre and
more convenient time, dimply suggest
ing that the Becretary of the Treasury
ought to be authorized to deal with the
easterns receipts as with the revenue
receipts. The reason for dealing dif
ferently with them, m far as the Treas
ury is concerned, has long since ceawed,
and there is now none why customs re
ceipts should be kept out of the currents
of commerce and trade any more than
those from other sources of revenue.
"But, after all, the most interesting
and important part of the mestaga is
his treatment cf the isthmian canal
question. It is a verv clear demonstra-
tion of the entire propriety of the action
of our government in carrying out the
Wishes of the people that we shall have
• canal as soon as possible. It is a corn-
plete answer to every claim that has
been made that we have in the remot
est degree violated any provision of the
treaty of IH4H. In this the message
rests upon three points: First, that the
President's authority under theSpooner
bill to deal with respect to th< Panama
canal bad no relation to Colombia tech
nically merely because Colombia was
named in the treaty, but had relation
to the territory upon which the canal
is to lie built without regard to the par
ticular government that might be in
control of it. Second, that the guaran
tee of the soverignty of New Granada,
of which Colombia in the first instance
and Panama in the second are the suc
cessors, hail relation only to attacks up
on the soveriguty of New Granada or
its successors and none to internal con
troversies. Third, that the history of
the isthmus for the past W ymrn ghows
that ibe United States has been contin
ually under the necessity of preserving
the peace there ami saving not only for
Itself, but for the world, free transit
across it. If the message is to be con
Strned, as I hardly think it ought to be.
as advocating Federal action towards
the building of good roads or an exten
sion of the irrigation scheme for arid
lands, I should hesitate to approve it in
these respects, but on the whole it
seems to me to be a very wise and Con
servative document."
Financial difficulties, which began
during the crusade of John Alexander
Dowie, the self-styled "Elijah III," am*
his restoration host to New York *
month ago, and which have been rapid
ly increasing since Dowlo's return, cul
minated Monday, in the Federal courts
taking possession of all the property
controlled by Dowie in Zion City. 11l
This town, founded two years ago by
Dowie. has a population of over 10,000,
is the general head<inarters for Dowle's
church and Is said to represent an ex
penditure of 120.000,000,

The Message in a NutelielL
The Trusts -It is not designed to re
strict or control the fullest liberty of
legitimate business action, but to se
cure exact and authentic information
which will aid in enforcing existing
laws and enable Congress to enact ad
ditional legislation, if nece?sarr, to pre
vent the few from obtaining privileges
at the expense of diminished opportuni
ties for the many. The corporation,
honestly and fairly organized, whose
managers recognize their obligation to
deal squarely with their stockholders.
their«competitors and the public, has
nothing to fear. We draw the line
against misconduct, not against wealth.
Finances—The surplus will be very
small, if there be any. Careful econ
omy, wherever possible, will alone pre
vent our income from falling below the
point required in order to meet our gen
nine needs. The integrity of onr cur
rency is beyond question and under
present conditions it would be unwise
and unnecessary to attempt a recon
struction of our entire monetary svstem.
Immigration—We cannot have too
much immigration of the right kind,
and we should have none of the wrong
kind. The need is to devise some sys
tem bv which undesirable immigrates
are kept out while desirable immi
grants are distributed properly through
out the country. It should mean some
thing to become a citizen of tbe United
States, and in the process no loophole
whatever should be left open to fraud.
Scandals—lt should be the policy of
the United States to leave no place on
earth where a corrupt man fleeing from
this country can rest in peace. Tbe ex
posure and punishment of public cor
ruption is an honor to a nation, not a
disgrace.
Arbitration—lt is not pretended that
we are near a position in which it will
be possible wholly to prevent war, or
that a just regard for national interest
and honor will in all cases permit of
the settlement of disputes by arbitra
tion. but, by a mixture of prndence and
firmness with wisdom, it is possible to
do away with much of the provocation
and excuse for war.
Tbe Army—The only people who arc
contented with a system of promotion
by mere seniority are those who are con
tented with tbe triumph of mediocrity
over excellence.
The Nayy.—There should be no cessa
tion in adding to the etketive fighting
strength of the fleet. There should be
a general naval staff similar to the
army general staff.
The Canal—The Government of the
United States would have been guilty
of folly and weakness amounting in
their sum to a crime against the nation
bad it acted otherwise than it did when
tbe revolution took place in Panama.
Every effort has been made to persuade
Columbia to follow a course which wns
essentially not only to our interests and
to tbe interest of tbe world, but to the
interest of Columbia itself, These have
failed.
POLITICAL.
Over in Lawrence county the politi
cal battle of next year is already on.
New rnles for the primary of March
l»tb, 1904, were adopted at the meeting
of the County Committee, last Saturday
and the names of M. 8. Quay of Beaver
county and O. W. Johnston, of New
Castle, were announced for Delegates to
the National Convention. Congressman
Acheson is announced for Congrees.
An the Presidential conventions, and
rnle« rfifnr'\init the election of delegates
to it, always force the holding of local
primaries at early dates, all the pri
maries, all over the country will be
held early next year.
Saturday, March 28,1004, has already
been fixed an the date for the next Re
publican primary in thin county;—lews
than four months from now—but things
have become so mixed up here that but
little has yet been done or said.
Delegated to the Republican national
convention from Allegheny county will
be instructed in the several district con
ventions to support President Roosevelt
first, last and all the time. Opposition
to the re-election of Roosevelt by Hena
tors tlanna and Piatt and a combination
of Eastern stock market men has caus
ed local Republicans to anticipate a big
political deal in Washington against the
present Administration, and local Re
publican* are planning to make Penn
sylvania's delegation strong for Roose
velt, «o that he will not have to rely
upon a one man power when this State
begins to ballot.

A* the two Croatians, Milovar Kovo
vick and Milovar Pattrovick, charged
with the murder of Samuel T. Ferguson
in Washington county, Pa., were being
taken to the train in London, alter be
ing extradited by the British govern
ment, Kovovlck seemed to realize that
the jig was up for him. As the prisoners
were being taken from their cells iu the
Brixton jail to the prison van which
was to take them on the first step of the
long return journey, Kovovick tnrned
to the jailers who had charge of him
for many week* and made a pos
ture, indicating that, the hangman's
iloose was now around his neck. Then
he raised his arm above his head from
bis neck, and made a sound like:
-Click."
This bad often been employed express
ly on the stage in tbis country, and the
meaniog was evident to the old prison
wardens at Brixton.
"Ile'Jl confess before be gets over,"
wa* what they told Hnpt. Thomas A.
McQuaido, of the Pittsbnig bureau of
detectives. MtQuaide took charge of
Kovovick, believed to be the man who
actually fired the battery that tnrned
loose the dynamite which killed Fergu
son, while Detective Richard Kelly, of
•f'ittsbtirg, bad charge of Patrovick, be
;'eved to be an accessory, both before
and after the murder.
