A hundred years ago the plot, upon wbifch stands the town of Butler, was covered with bushes and trees; and one day of this year will be the Centennial of the town's birth or establishment. The Cunningham brothers, who were the agents here for the Robert Morris lands of this section, had located and built a mill, where now stands the Wal ter mill, and, in consideration of the town being located here, instead of fur ther north, (as was at first proposed;, bad agreed to donate three hundred acres for a town, court house, jail and public square—their £iea being to ac celerate the sale of the other Morns lands in the neighborhood. The commissioners appointed by the state to examine the proposed site ap proved of it. and on the Bth of March, 1803, the Legislature passed an act ap pointing three trustees for the coaDty, and authorizing them to survey the plot, sell the lots, make the deeds, etc. The surveying was completed by Angnst, and on the 10th of that month tRe first sale of lots occurred at the milL The prices paid that day ranged from $Bl to $l3O. per lot, and the names of Hill, Harris, Evans, Richey, Mc- Clnrg, McGuffin, Negley, Brinker. Bo vard, Thompson, Kearns, Brown, Mc- Collongh, Young, Elliott, Hazlett, Mar ray, Campbell, Ayers and Ewall ap- pea ring among the purchasers. The sales were continued each day nntil the 16th' when about 160 lots had been sold, and the total of about $7,000 had been paid to the trustees or was doe the county. The sale had been advertised in Pitts burg, Greensbnrg and Washington, Pa.; some of the purchasers were from a dis tance and afterwards rued bargain and did not lift their deeds. A few log bouses were erected, some •tores, blacksmith shops, etc.. were opened and the town was started; al though it was not incorporated as a borough until 1817. A.t the February term of court, 1804, licenses for public houses were granted to Win. Ayers and James Thompson, and at the May term of same year four more licenses were granted. Court was first held in a log house on the Diamond, Which was rented for the occasion; but in 1807 a brick house was erected on the site of the present building, at a coat of about $4,500, and this building was, for a time, also used for school and church purposes. Some sort of a celebration of the birth day of the town is being talked of, and it certainly could be made interesting. The Russian Fleet Daring the Civil War. It is an interesting fact that at this junction Mr. F.W.Seward, who was as sistant to his father, the Secretary of State, daring the Lincoln and Johnson administrations, should give a clear ac count of what did happen between Rus sia and this countTy during the Civil War. For many years it has been cat egorically stated that the Russian fleet which cruised in these waters in 1862 and 1861 had sealed orders to report to President Lincoln in case either France or England or both interfered in behalf Of the Sonth, that after the war the •ale of worthless Aliska was conducted for the purpose of paying Russia in dis guise for tho services she rendered Mr. Seward has punctnred t ht¥t> in mors in a most effective way. but he 1 has certainly added to on; sum of knowledge on the subject. It is well known that in 1863 the Cabinet of Groat Britain was seriously considering the ■ubject of some sort of intervention based on the first overtures of Emperor Napolean 111, who was ready to do any thing anywhere and at any time which would divert home attention from his domestic policy. Mr. Gladstone late in life said that the Cabinet never consid ered the matter in any official sense and there were no members in its favor Unfortunately, in the recent biography of Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Merely quotes the notes of the great Englishmen, by which it appears that many of the C»l>- inet, including Mr Gladstone himself, were mnch in favor of some sort of in tervention so that the mills of Lan cashire might get cotton Mr. Seward now says that if the Rus sian fleet had any secret instructions they were never revealed; that it is true that at a time when thero was talk of a combination between France and Great Britain Russia declined to ac quiesce and sent to Lincoln tho warm est expressions of friendship; that Secre tary Seward refused to receive tho British and French Ministers together and ignored an identical note which they presented, and that Russia did show friendship in whatever way sho could, with the result that Alaska was purchased by this country. There is so much misinformation go ing around this country on the subject that it is well to have tho matter cleared np. One thing must be boron in mind, that whatever Russia did or did not do at that time was not on a sentimental basis, but because it was her own best policy. Nations seldom w> to war or make threats on pnrely ethical grounds. At the time Russia was smarting under the defeat ad ministered by Great Britain and France in the Crimean war. < and may well have been pleasant to | this country. There is gratitude due i for whatever service she may have; | rendered at the time, bnt it was not i sentimental, aud it has absolutely noth- i ing to do with existing conditions.— ] ' Inquirer, 11 Tlic AVar News. During the past week, or ten days, the news from the seat of war has con sisted of contradictory reports. That the .Taps have control of the waters, and that a part of their fleet is blockading Port Arthur, while another part is guarding the troop ship 3 and the landing of their army at Chemulpo, the sea port on the west coast of Korea, is known; but what the Russians are doing no one knows but themselves. In the meantime the air is full of ru mors regarding the designs of the Rus sians, from which only one evident fact can be extracted, which is that the Russian authorities from the Cz*r down are in a state of demoralization, that they are dazed by the serious re verses which thev have so unexpected ly sustained, and that they are at a l:>ss to determine what they ought to do next. Their hysterical condition of mind is indicated by the tone and the tenor of the proclamations whose is suance seems to fu.-nish a kind of safety valve for their excited and injured feel ings. In these astonishing and futile deliverances they continue to protest against the impoliteness of the Japs in attacking their squadron without first giving them notice of the day and hour of the intended assault, and they call all civilization to witness that the' little brown men" whom they failed to bluff into submission have taken a most un fair advantage of their unsuspecting cjnfidence. They did not think the Japs, who had always been so kind and courteous, would act in that unfriendly way and their delicate sensibilities are deeply wounded. Secretary Hay's note to the powers,ad vocating the restriction of hostilities to the territory now occupied by the con tending nations, and the neutrality or integrity of China, has been fivorably received, but, as a matter of fact, it is the integrity of China first, and her own safety and interests after, that Japan is fighting for. If Russia had been al lowed to absorb Northern China and Korea, Japanese interests would have gone glimmering, and Russia would have been in position to attack her at any time. An Inevitable Dilemma. The passage by the Assembly of Puer to Rico of a resolution demanding eith er admission to statehood in the United States or independence gives warning of a trouble that is sure to present itself so long as we maintain dependencies in the anomalous condition of beiog sub ject to our authority withont represen tation in the Government. It is inevit able so long as we teach republican principles to our wards that they should become imbued with the idea of the right to representation in the supreme Government; and it is equally certain on the other hand that every such re quest will arouse the antagonism in this country to admitting peoples ot alien race and language to participate in the legislation of the United Spates. The application from Puerto liico comes rather early. Next to Hawaii Puerto Rico has boen tho favored child of the United States and has practically a territorial government of its own. It can afford to work along for a time as it is, until the ultimate decision can be made with rather more freedom from prejudice than at present. But we on oar side can rest assured that this pro position is bound to bo urged with greater persistence and force as the years roll on and that the final settle ment must be in one of the alternatives named in the Puerto Rican resolution —Din patch. THE Panama canal treaty was ratifi ed withont amendment by the U. S. Senate Tuesday afternoon by the over whelming vote of 66 to 14. Within 15 minutes afterwards the document was before the President for his signature. He acted at once and before the close cf the official day the clerks in the office of Second Assistant Secretary of State, Alvey A. Adee. were preparing the pa pers needed in the formality of ex changing ratifications. TOKPEDO BOATS. That torpedo iwats. tho hornets of the navy, costing only alxxit SBOO,OOO each, can destroy $4,000,000 nud $5,000,000 battleships and escape injury, as was demonstrated by the Japanese in the at tack on the Russian fleet at Poit Ar thur, has set naval officers throughout the world to thinking. ' "What's the use of battleships and protected cruisers," lsymen are asking, "when these little lw>ats can destroy the biggest of them?" Battleships and crnners are as great a necessity for torpedo lioat warfare iih is the torpedo boat to the battleship and cruiser. The swiftly moving little tor pedo bout frequently must refuge behind the floating fortresses of steel, jnst as the torpedo l>oat flotilla is e« i pected to protect the battleship and cruiser from the attacks of the torpedo boats of the enemy- The first naval engagement ot Japan and Russia has convinced ottiuers that the torpedo boat flotilla of a navy car. no longer be reganj'-d as a hindrance' and bother. "The most destructive instruments of war to day are the torpedo boats and the Whitehead torpedo." declared on* of the high ranking naval officer* of the United States. "A torpedo boat under favorable conditions, and favor able conditions fjennently arise, can do more damage by tn/e discharge of one Whitehead torpedo thai, cut; the ex penditure of *1 000,000 worth of ntuiu'i nition in such a contest sj was fought at Santiago." A Whitehead torpedo is a cigar-slop ed object mad/- of or bronze or any metal, i!I inched in 4' ! ' m eter and from 15 to W feet in length The "warnose" is on the blunt end of the torpedo. This is the end that strflteu I tlit ship or other object, and by means of a rod driven against a detonator causes the c*j>lo»i«n pf the gnncottm, dynamite, nitt'oirlyci.rijf oj* other ex plosive in the ch i tuber.

Die general torpedo dep>t is .it New port. > WAK NOTES. During a blizzard, one night la«t Jap torpedo l>oats sank two more Russian war-ships, in Port Arthur. On Saturday the Russian troops were reported to be retreating from Port Arthur to Harbin, a large town in Man churia, at the junction of the two east ern terminals of the railroad, and noted for its flouring mills: and on Sunday the Russian scouts were reported along the Yaln river, while the Jap war ships were cruising in the vicinity of Port Arthur. . . On Tuesday Viceroy Alexieil s retire ment to Harbin was confirmed. Snow storms of great severity were interfer ing with the efforts of Russia to rush men to the scene of war, and concen trate her army. Japan was yet landing troops at Chemulpo. Korea, and rush ing them north towards the \&lu river, and their fleet, which has blockaded Port Arthur since the feth inst, was re ported to have captured four Russian torpedo boats. On Wednesday it was reported that the Japs had succeeded in destroying seventy miles of railroad between Har bin and Vladivostok, including some bridges. Cabling from Chifu, Feb. 23, a cpr respondent says 40,000 more Japanese troops have landed at Chemulpo and that he has received confirmation of the report that some Japanese have landed at Pigeon Bay, others at Talien wan, near Dalney, and that an engage ment occurred the nigut of February 12. The correspondent at Seoul of the Daily Mail reports a panic at Ping- Yang, Korea, which is regarded as her alding the approach of the oppo?intr armies. Health Conditions. At Monday night's meeting of the Re lief Committee one fever death, that of Catherine Cain, a negro girl who died at the County Emergency Hospital, Monday. Two new cases were reported, a daughter of Frank Lytle of West D street and Sadie Morris, daughter of John Morris of Hickory street. Both are due to secondary intection. General condition* are improving so rapidly that the Committee decided to close the Emergency Hospital at the County Home on Saturday, and to close the Committee s laundry work, which has been ably administered by John W. Brown, on the Ist day of March. Dr. W. R. Battof the State Board of Health was present and daring discussion of the parity of oar water supply, ptesent and future, said that the filter as at present at work removed over ninety eight per cent, of the imparities from the water passing through it. and that more labor and money bad been ex pended in securing a pare supply of water, and keeping it pure, for Bntler than had tor ninty-flve pre cent, of the other towns of Pennsylvania. There are not more than 100 fever patients in the town at present and it is safe to say that the first of April will see Bntler entirely free from her fever scourge, except paying the bills which have been hung like millstones about the necks of many of.our citizens- Preacher Scores Quay uud I'en nypacker. Ln a sermon delivered to the several camps of the Patriotic Sons of America in the united Evangelical church, at Pottsville, last Sunday, Rev. G. A. Knerr touched upon the Pennypacker affair, and severely scored its defender. M. S. Quay. Mr.Knerr was chaplain ot the Fonrtli regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers in the Spanish-American war and accom panied that command to Porto Rico. He has also been the chaplain o? the Fifteenth regiment of United States vol unteers. This is what he said from the pulpit: "From all accounts we have the sad spectacle of a Governor trying to force liia way into tiie Supremo Court, against the almost universal protect of the best citizens, and presumably will ing to stoop to trickery and machine manipulation in order to get there. And this from one who prides himself on his Revolutionary ancestry. The shame of it all is that the efforts are likely to succeed. Stung by the righteous criticisms of an aroused public conscience the senior Senator, who is undoubtedly the archcon ■pirator in this attempt, writes a most remarkable letter, in which he casts suspicion on tho members of the Su preme court, and tho question is how many members of tin. Court have been taken by the cuff of their necks and the seat of their inexpressibles and cata pulted over the sacred pole which di vides the Supreme court from the com mon mortals Shall tho Supreme court become the plaything of the senior Sen ator. a mere bench on which sit the* puppef#—who do not dare not think or express an opinion of their own' Jf so, then we are sowing the wind and shall reap tho whirlwind The voice from Florida is the voice of Jacob, but the bands are those of Esau." \ tin* I'ir<;, A KIIS fire on Main street, near the Arlington, attracted iarge crowds of boys and scared the horses, lust -Htm - day night. The K»S came from a l"ak in tbe main, several feet hi low THE HUI - - face, and the bricks were removed from several square feet of the st'e«t. and the gas lighted and coyered, so fiat the beat would thaw the urounW below. The pipe was uncovered and tho leak repaired next day, after a great many "thousand" f«et of gas had escaped. This brought up the question of what the expression "a thousand feet" of gas means, and an employee of tho Home Go leijs us that it means enough g«s to fill h measure ten feet square ami ten feet long, which would mean a thousand cubic feet of mmoe at |i pres sure of four ounces four orun ex to the square inch, over and above the at mo* plieric pressure. Gas. like air, ran be compressed, arid i f the piossnre is high several thousand feet e>t ti.ei,s measure can Is) jammed into the same spaco. The Company has welts in u<l direc tions, iind it regulates the pressure be tween the wells ur.d the service linen; and Isiuides this it buys some gas from Thomas W, J'hjJlip;, whose production ffom his wells out about Woiliijngton is, pe»i ( H|,» thp largest in tne country His bunch of g-*» w»(lb there are ceiupled up or circled, and he self# to Butler, Ford City.

Aid nnturo with Ayor's Pill*. The Wheat .Market. Although last year's crop of wheat in this country was the largest on record, running over three billions of bushels, and the Southern Hemisphere is prepar ing to market a large crop, wheat sold at *1 03 in the Chicago exchange, last week, and May options at $ 1. 07. "It is hard from the statistical stand point to figure out exactly where the rise has come in. Probably there is a great deal of truth in the statement that in the last few years an increasing number of people are using wheat who formerlv used rve or rice, particularly the latter. The' hope of this continent lies in the education of the people of China and Japan to a wheat stardard of living. This will come in time, but it is too much to hope that it has arrived As a matter of fact, there is a shortage of spot wheat in this conntry. so that xnilis have shnt down, but it would be peruiatnre to estimate dollar wheat for I the r« st of the year. Conviction of Kovovick. After deliberating for an hour and a half, the jury in the case of the Com. vs Milovar Kovovick, accused of mur dering Contractor Ferguson in Wash ington county, last September, returu ed a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, last Saturday afternoon. When court reconvened to hear the verdict the room was filled to overflow ing. The spectators felt assured that Kovovick was guilty of Ferguson's mur der arid they so expressed themselves The trial of Milovar Pattrovick wi il not come np until next May. In con victing Kovovick the prosecution feels they have proven who actually touched off the dynamite which sent Contractor Ferguson to his death. They now ex pect to prove Pattrovick an access- ry before and after the fact. According to the impression in Washington, Pat trovick has but little chance of being acquitted deaths.
