CURRENT EVENTS.
Another dull week has passed so far
as war news is concerned. The latest
from the front is that both armies are
entrenching themselves along the Yalu —
the Japanese on the east bank, and the
Russians on the west—the lines extend
ing from the coast to ten miles above
the town of Wiju, or thirty miles in all.
The flanking movements of the Japs
have not yet developed. When these
two armies come together the world
will probably see its greatest slaughter
of humanity. A cablegram the other
day stated that, the battleship Petro
pavloysk carried $12,000,000 in money
in her safes when she went to the bot
tom of the sea, which, if true, is anoth
er instance of the recklessness and stu
pidity the Russians have shown on the
water.
The war with Japan is roueing Rus
sia to the execution of a great public
wore long planned but long neglected—
that is, the canal that is to connect the
Black sea with the Baltic. At the
present moment the need of such a
cmml is obvious. In this one year of
storm and stress it might well be worth
more than its entire cost; for with such
a waterway open Russia could snap her
fingers at the prohibition at the Dar
danelles. Her Black Sea fleet could
make its exit into the Baltic, and thus
be available for service in the Far East,
instead of lying idle in this hour of ur
gent need.
The war in Colorado, following the
strike by the Western Federation of
p| Miners is not the only strike-war goiDg
on in the world. One of the most ex
tensive strikes that ever happened has
occurred and is now proceeding on the
railroads of Hungary with the result
that the business of that country is com
pletely demoralized, that tons of pro
visions have gone to waste, and that in
some communities the spectre of fam
ine is in sight. To the railroad system
alone the loss is computed at SBOO,OOO
daily, while the indirect loss to the pub
lic is far in excess of that sum. The
government is making strenuous efforts
to arrange some kind of settlement, but
at last reports it bad not been able to
come to terms with the strikers, and
the issue of the struggle remains un
certain. It is a distinctive feature of
the conflict, and one which aggravates
its gravity, that in Hungary all rail
roads are owned and operated by the
State, so that the disturbance may
easily acquire a political as well as an
economic significance
The approaching presidential election
has had no effect on the money market,
and during the past few weeks the rail
roads of the country have borrowed
$300,000,000 on one-and-two-year notes.
This is interesting as showing where the
confidence of the public lies. Munici
pal bonds are low and with all the
plethora of money there is hesitancy
such as always exists when boom times
p*' l "" have passed. Now the situation is that
there is money enough for legitimate
channels. There is hesitation in the
speculative world and there seems no
present prospect of a change Railway
earnings are not quite up to last year.
The earnings of industrials are not at
top notch, yet the condition of things is
good because the liquidation apparently
has passed and there is BO fear of the
futnre. The coming months bid fair to
be quiet, but there is no reason for
pessimism except in the realm of spec
ulation. Bank exchanges are good,aud
and the complaint is only in spots and
especially from those who want to get
rich quick.
Daring the past few days a lot more
of political speeches that will not change
• vote in the country have been let
loose in the House at Washington. Con
gress is well up with its work and the
members must have their fun. The
Senate discussed and passed the Sun
dry Civil bill and agreed to $137,000,000
for pensions. The House considered
pi . the General Deficiency bill. There now
remain for the Senate to tackle but the
General Deficiency and the Military
Academy bills and then the appropria
tion measures will be wound up. Not
all of them have gone to the President
for his signature, for there have been
some differences which must be sett'ed
in conference committees, but the most
of the work is done and there will be
little new legislation to bother about,
The Smoot inquiry was opened up
again and developed along the line, of
the connection of the Mormon Church
with politics. The great point is to
discover whether a man can be a Mor~
mon and at the same time be a good
citizen of the, United States—whether
his obligations to Morraonism do not
outweigh his obligators to his country.
There will be no report to the Senate
from the investigating committee at
this session. The subject is altogether
too deep and important a one to be
dealt with hastily. There must be a
searching inquiry if we are to get at
the bottom of things, acid that inquiry
is likely to be had.
The New Fever.
Pittsburg is enjoying the expected
visitation of the fever. The number of
cases counted last Thursday was 11,-
800, and probably thrice that number
of people afflicted with it were unable
to publicly exhibit the symptoms. No
precautions whatever have been taken
to prevent a spread of the regular epi
demic. In fact, all modern deyices
have been used to inoculate as many as
| P possible. The victims were given a
superb outing at the ball park, and n
baseball game, the first of the season on
the local diamond, delighted them
greatly. Pittsburg won, as in the firet
game at Cincinnati, again being pitted
against the Red Stockings, by the Su
preme Court score of 5 to 4. The
weather smiled propitiously upon the
fever-stricken ones, and the mild chill
acted only as a tonic. No measures
will be taken to check the epidemic, '
and it is surmised it will increase in ;
virulence until in the fall it runs its
course. No hope is entertained,
however, of permanently eradicating
the germs.—Dispatch.
WASaiXOTOX NOTES. Tlie Battleship "Missouri
Disaster.
The Smoot case was reopened by the
Senate Committee on Elections, last
Thursday, and Brighaui Roberts was
called npon to testify. He told of his
three wives, bnt was very retricent re
garding his Endowment Uonse obliga
tions. A. M. Cannon has six wives and
nineteen children, and his belief in the
Mormon church is unalterable. It
dominates in both Utah and Idaho.
On Friday the House refused to ac
cept the Senate's amendments to the
River and Harbor bill, and it was
thought the bill would die in commit
tee.
The House rejected the elaborate plan
of government adopted by the Senate
for the Panama canal zone, substitut
ing for it the second section of the act
of 1803, of which Thomas Jefferson was
the author, for the government of the
territory acquired by the "Louisiana
purchase. ' This section provides that
the national authority "shall be exer
cised in such manner as the President
of the United States shall direct for the
government of said territory and for
maintaining and protecting the inhabit
ants thereof in the free enjoyment of
their liberty, property and religion."
All the papers for the Panama canal
were signed in Paris, Friday, and the
title is now in the United States.
Adjudged a Fraud.
The United States postoffice authori
ties have issued an order declaring the
Preferred Mercantile company, of Bos
ton, a fraudulent concern and forbid
ding it the use of the mails. Postmast
ters throughout the county were notified
to return to the senders all money orders
and letters addressed to the company
and in case the senders were not to be
ascertained from the outside of the en
velope to forward such to the dead let
ter office, all mails so intercepted to be
stamped "fraudulent."
I The Preferred Mercantile Company
has an office in Pittsburg established
last October. Its representative there is
Arthur K. Sykes, who is called the
"state representative" and had an office
at 828 Park building. He has been
doing a large business for his company
since he came here and said yesterday
that there are now probably 500 or 600
patrons of the company's scheme in
Pittsburg and Allegheny.
The company claims to be a species
of insurance concern which gives an in
stallment lease on a two-carat diamond.
It is run on the same plan as the "end
less chain" home buying concerns. The
lease "matures," if it lives its full time,
when sllO have been paid in to tte
company in weekly installments of $1
each, whereupon the holder of same is
entitled to the diamond, valued at S2OO
or to $l6O in cash, but does not get it
unless there is enough money in the
company's redemption fund to pay
same together with all outstanding
leases which antedate it.—Leader.
WAR NOTFS.
On Thursday last a number of Jap
anese ships appeared off the coast of
Manchuria, to the west of the month of
the Yalu, and it is supposed that the
Japs intend landing an army along that
coast.
On Friday a Russian launch and
twenty-one men in Port Arthur road
stead were blown up by one of their
own mines.
On Saturday it was reported that the
Japs were landing at Kin Chaw, to the
east of Port Arthur.
•'l've been a-readin war news,"
Said the man with haggard eyes,
"Or what is cabled for news,
Till from every side arise
Mnrmnred names that come a-clanging
In a constant, fierce refrain,
Full of much syllabic banging—
I've got war news on the brain.
The Japanese Soldiers' Stations.
The other day I spoke of rice and
dried fish being the uniform food of the
Japanese army in campaigning times.
This is the way in which the rice is
cooked. It is boiled until quite thick
and glntinoas. Next it is placed on a
ceramic slab, rolled out and cut into
squares. The squares are then placed
in the sun to dry and often turned
When hard as sea biscuit and greatly
redaced in weight they can be stored
A certian number are allowed each day
to the soldier. All he has to do is to
break up a square in boiling water and
to add the dried fish. In a few min
utes he has what seeius to him a deli
cious thick soup. If he cannot procure
boiling water he simply eats his rice
cake dry. In the fruit sdason he subti
tutes fruit when he can obtain it for
the fish. The Japanese soldier, M.
Pichon tells me. has junscels like whip
cord. is a sure shot, has an eye for land
marks and a memory for locality. He
can do whith three hours' sleep out of
the twenty- four, is clcauly, atteds to
sanitary instructions, is ardently patri
otic, holds his life cheap and runs up
hills like a goat. He costs the state
about 4ic. a day and thinks himself
well off.—London Truth.
A Joke on Butler.
Representative Butler, of Pennsyl
vania. tried to pass through the House,
on Monday, a bill which had already
become a law. The bill was one in
which Mr. Butler told the Honso he
took a deep personal interest. Consent
to have the measure considered being
given, Mr. Butler sent it to the clerk's
desk. When the clerk had read two
pages Speaker Cannon, who had been
listening drowsily, suddenly woke up.
There was a rustling of papers on the
Speaker's desk, a hurried consultation
with one of the clerks, and then a smart
rap of the Speaker's pavel.
"For the benefit of the gentlemen
from Pennsylvania, ' said the Speaker,
"I will intorm him that the bill now
being read by the clerk passed this body
on the loth of the present month and
has also passed the Senate."
Mr. Butler was at first speechless with
astonishment. Then he arose and apolo
gized to the Speaker and also to the
House while the members roared with
laughter.
Has A Subtitiitc For iCnbbcr.
A successful and practical substitute
for rubber is the latent discovery that
threatens to revolutionize one of the'
world's famous industries. Frank P.
Bennett, of Evans City, together with
his brother, H. E. Bennett, have per
fected a process whereby rubber in all
its forma can be made from an altogeth
er, heretofore, unknown source. This
is something that is not now in an ex
perimental state but has been perfected
and found entirely practicable. The
groat commercial value of this secret
will be faintly comprehended when it is
told that the Bennett brothers have al
ready been offered $500,000.00 for their
process which sum they have refused.
They have been ovetwhe'med with pro
positions and offers from all sources.
The News is informed that arrange
ments have been entered into whereby a
prominent firm of the United States
will be a participant in the manufact
ure of this product, the locality and
identity of which we are not at liberty
to reveal at this time. It will probably
be three or fonr months before goods
manufactured f.oui this product will ap
pear on the market.
Mr. Frank D. Bencet, came to Evans
City seven years ago from Akron, O.
during which time he has been in the
employ of the Dambach Planing Mills
with the exception of one year. His
brother has also been at Evans City
part of this time. They are receiving
the congratulations of their friends
aud there is no doubt but their patent
process will revolutionize the rubber in
dustry as the cost of this new product
is nominal. Mr Bennett is this week
moving his family to his former home
town where he can prosecute his new
avocation to better advantage. —Valley
News.
The awful calamity that befell the
battleship "Missouri" on Wednesday,
April 13, when she was engaged in
target practice off the port of Pensacola,
is the latest of a series of similar acci
dents which have occnrred within the
paot few years on our own and foreign
warships. Some eighteen months ago,
while the Russian battleship "Sissoi
\"eliky" was firing her forward pair of
12-inch gnns. there was a terrific ex-
plosion, which killed every man in the
turret, and completely wrecked the in
terior of the same. The massive top of
the turret was blown bodily into the
a:r, and half of it. falling backward np
on the deck, killed twenty-eight men
that were standing there in a group.
About six months later there was an
explosion during target practice in one
of the turrets of the 12-inch guns of the
British battleship "Mars," which result
ed in great loss of life. Then followed
the fatal explosion in one of the 8-inch
gun turrets of our own battleship "Mas
sachusetts." In each case it was im
possible to determine definitely what
was the cause of the explosion, the
various boards of inquiry being able
merely to suggest various conditions
which might have rendered the ex
plosion possible. In the present case,
because of the fact that every officer
and man that was in the turret of the
"Missouri" was killed, it is likely that
the disaster will have to be written
down as one of the unexplained mys
teries of which there are so many to be
recorded in the history of the use of ex
plosives both on sea and land. The
least that we can say for the unfortu
nate dead is that at the present writing
there is not the faintest shred cf evi
dence that these noble fellows were do
ing aught but discharging their duties
with that intelligent care and con
scientious fidelity which have won for
our navy its high reputation throughout
the civilized world. Such accidents as
these are a part of the perpetual risks
which are taken by those who serve
their country on the high seas—risks
that are by no means confined to the
hour of battle, but are present and are
always seriously contemplated by of
ficers and men when ammunition rooms
are opened, guns are cast loose, and the
terrific weapons of modern warfare are
put to the test.
Most earnestly do we deplore the un
seemly and officious haste with which
such a large section of the press seem
ready to rush into an ill-timed and most
ungenerous suggestion of carelessness
and incompetence, almost before the
victims have breathed their last breath
in obedience co the call of duty.
Whether on the Russian "Sissoi Veliky,"
the British "Mars," or the American
"Missouri," the victims of these shock
ing disasters are as fully entitled to the
honors of naval heroism as if they had
died in the fiercest climax of a -great
sea fight.
The board of inquiry, when it comes
to investigate, will carefully sift out
what scanty evidence is forth-coming,
and if there be any blame, we may be
assured it will be rightly placed. But
just now it looks as though the only
criticism that could be made is that the
accident may have happened through
the rapidity of the firing. If this is the
case, it will simply mean that our
gallant sailors have died because they
were striving for that very proficiency
in the handling of their guns, which it
has been the effort of cur own and
foreign navies to promote to the highest
degree.
'lhe accident happened to a modern
12-inch 40-caliber gun of the latest p it
tern built for onr navy. These gnns
are probably the most effective 12-inch
guns in existence today, having a
great, r energy per weight of gun tbau
any 12-iuch pieces at present In me in
any navy. It should be distinctly un
derstood that Ihe accident is in no way
attributable to ihe gun itself.— Sci. Am.

The decision of Judge Miller of

of Thiel College from Greenville. His
opinion is so clear and conclusive, both
on the law and the evidence, against
any such removal, that we believe it
will be sustained in any other court.
And this will be in accord with the

Armstrong Ran was known far and

the Jennings'. Flemings' and many
others acquiring large fortunes there.
Then the wells fell off. the Bradys Bend
Iron Company failed and the hundreds
: of acres of lands belonging to that cor

ductive. was permitted to become idle.
That was before the Speechley sand
| was ever heard of. A couple years ago
a corporation known as the Gre.it
| Coal Company went into that section
1 and bought up several thousands of
) acres of coal lauds. The company built
' a railroad from a point on the Pitts
burg, Bessemer & Lake Erie railroad
and opened mines at Kaylor. In their
works they needed a cheaper fuel than
coal, and as several abandoned oil wells
were on their purchase, they cleaned
out some, drilled others deeper, and a
few days ago, in putting the drill into
one at an unusual depth, reached the
Speeehley sand and were rewarded
with a 75-barrel well. This strike has
awakened interest upon the part of op
erators, and land is being leased. Many
old oil wells will be sunk to the Speech
ley. while a vast amount of new devel
opments will follow at once.

Constructed Precious Docu
ments Relics of Famous
Statesmen and Soldiers.
Working Postal
Exhibit.
The United States Government build
ing at the World's Pair occupies an
elevated site just south of the main
picture of the Exposition. The great
central dome of the Government build
ing is visible from the very center of
the Fair, looking across the picturesque
sunken garden mat lies between the
Palaces of Mines and Metallurgy and
Liberal Arts.
The bill slope in front of the Gov
ernment building Is terraced with
broad stairways almost completely
covering the slope. The building is 800
feet long by 250 feet wide and is the
largest structure ever provided at an
exposition by the federal government.
It is distinguished from all the other
large buildings at the Exposition by
the stc;l truss construction, the entire
roof being supported by steel arches,
forming a splendid domed ceiling.
In this building are installed the ex
hibits of ail the executive departments
of the government. The building is a
vast storehouse of an endless variety
of treasures dear to the heart of every
true American, l'recious documents
are to be seen here, and the autographs
of our great men of the past are on
display. Relics of famous statesmen
and soldiers, carefully preserved
through generations, are exhibited.
Each governmental department has in
stalled an exhibit showing its official
character and mode of operation.
Entering the Government building
from the eastern end. the visitor sees
at his left a railroad postoffice car.
This is not a mere .coach standing idle.
LOUISIANA PUKCHASE MONUMENT, WORLD'S
FAltt.
but is one of the most improved mail
cars, in which men attached to the
United States railway mail service are
actively engaged in ''throwing" the
malls. Here you will see the postal
clerks at work, just as they work while
speeding along a railroad track.
A curious collection of old time rel
ics from the postoffice museum at
Washington illustrates as no verbal
description can do the crude begin
nings of the postal system. One of
these relics is an old fashioned stage
conch that once carried United States
mails through a portion of the Louisi
ana purchase territory. President
Roosevc-lt, who once inspected it, ex
amined with a rough rider's interest
the bullet holes which stage robbers
nnd mountain brigands shot through
its stifT leathern curtains. Generals
Sherman and Sheridan and President
Garfield rode in this old coach during
the slreuuous days of frontier life.
Among the collection of documents
showing the primitive postal methods
in vogue in the early days is to be
seen the old book of accounts kept by
the first postmaster general, Benjamin
Franklin, all written by hand. There
is a rare collection of stamps, includ
ing ancient Filipino, Porto Itican and
Cuban stamp 3. The postoffice depart
ment's exhibit occupies 12,409 square
feet.
Across the aisle, at the right, is the
exhibit of the new Department of
Commerce and Labor, occupying 1.900
square feet. This exhibit shows what
the new executive department stands
for and what it is accomplishing. Mr.
Carroll I). Wright, United States Com
missioner of Labor, had charge of the
preparation of the exhibit. Charts ar
ranged by him, showing the rapid
growth of the nation in agriculture,
rrts, manufacture, population, etc., are
.If special Interest to sociologists and
iiII students of the iitTiOr problem. The
Census Bureau exhibit Is made in this
section. It shows the tabulating ma
chines used in compiling the census re
ports. The Lighthouse Board; also op
erating under this department, shows
the great revolving lenses in light
houses, with other interesting appli
nnces.
The space in the projecting nortb
• west cornier of the building is devoted
to the Library of Congress. The edi
ilee which houses tills library at Wash-
Ington Is held by many architects to
be the most beautiful building in the
world. Its Interior decorations, by El
mer Ellsworth GarnK.'.v, furnish one
of the chief delights of a visit to the
national capital. A large model of this
splendid building is a feature of tho
exhibit. Tho decorative features of
tho Interior are reproduced in their
original colors.
Tlie next exhibit ou the right hand
side of the central aisle is that of the
Interior Department, occupying 11.792
square feet. In this large space tho
visitor finds so many things of com
pelling interest that he Is loath-to
leave. The Patent Office exhibit be
longs to this section. There are mod
els of many machines that have borne
an important part in the development
of the nation's industries. The earliest
form of every device of human inven- ,
t<frn. so far ns possible, Is shown here.
For Instance, you may see the actual
sewing machine that was the first con
trivance of its kind every constructed;
it was patented In 1840 by Ellas Howe.
The first typewriter, patented by
Thurber in 3512; the model of the first
cast iron plow, patented by Charles
Newbold in 1707; the first screw pro
peller, Invented by Robert Ilook In
1080; and many other "first" things
are to be seen. The model of Abraham
Lincoln's celebrated device for lifting
steamboats off shoals is shown lure.
The first harvesting machine, made in
the year 150 I!. C., Is one of the most
ancient exhibits at the Exposition.
There Is also a model of the first steam
engine, made In Egypt in the same
year.
Every foot of the 200,000 feet of
floor space In Uncle Sam's World's -
Fair building is occupied by exhibits
of surpassing Interest, and every phase
of the people's welfare is shown.
