By Friday last the Republican Na tional Committee, in session at Chicago, was well on with its work. The principal contest, and the one to which moat importance attached from a National standpoint, was that from Wisconsin. The stalwart-i, or anti La- Follette faction won a most decided vic tory, when the national committee, by a unanimous vote seated Senators Spoon er and Quarles, Representative Bab cock aad ex-Lieut. Gov. Emil Beam eh as delegatea-at-large, thus throwing out Gov. LaFollette and his three associates, who represented the other faction. This action was contrary to the gener al expectation, it being believed that the committee world endeavor to com promise the eitnation Dy admitting both delegations, giving each member half a vote. This, however, was a proposi tion wholly unacceptableto the Senators, who wanted a clear-out decision one way or the other. By Saturday nearly all the delegates were there, and it was conceded that Roosevelt's choice, Cortelyou. would be National Chairman, but the Vice Pres idency was yet in the air. though it looked like Fairbanks. The Pennsylvania delegations were in by Sunday evening, and held a caucus Monday evening. It was easily seen that Rooseveltdom inated the convention, and that his friend Cortelyou would be made Nation al Chairman. At the hotel "Uncle Joe" CannoU said he wanted the wide, wide world to know that he did not want to be Vice President. On Monday the Pennsylvania delega tion agreed to stand as a unit for Fair 0 banks, and his selection was generally conceded; the "lowa Idea" was tabled by the delegation from that state, and eyen the Ohio representatives were har monious. On Tuesday the Convention organ ized in the Coliseum with Elihu Root * as Temporary Chairman. Fairbanks received a great ovation when be came into the room, other prominent men were cheered, and Root made a great speech; recounting the record of the party and praising Roosevelt. A great painting of ex-Senator Hanna hung on the wall back of the speaker, end the Committee cn Platform decided upon a "stand pat plank," regarding the tariff duties. Yesterday Speaker Cannon presided and was the central figure of the con vention, and the platform adopted was "sound on protection and safe in reci procity." EVERY few evenings some stranger who calls himself a "Socialist." mounts • box on the Diamond, and after re counting all the ills of civilized life, advisee his audience to join tho Socialist Party. But, when asked to suggest remedies, they hesitate and blunder. Socialism is, as yet, a very vague term. THE well-known traveler and writer, " George Kennan, says that the Japanese brass bands play such American mar tial airs as "The Battle Cry of Free dom," "John Brown's Body." and "Marching Through Georgia," when escorting recruits for the Japanese army to the railroad stations, which naturally induced him to- join in the cheering. "For," said he, "if the Japa nese were going to carry our flag and play our music, I was ready to adopt their hurrah." And why not? While the United States is perfectly nentral in this contest it is difficult to abstain trom a few thrills of sympathy for the heroic little Jape, whose aspirations and ideals are so thoroughly American. SOME smiles were excited by the chronic formula used by the Russians intbs Far East when they were forced * to bfgin "I regret to report" and end after grudgingly detailing defeat. But General Stakelberg, lately, surpass ed in the quality of his unconscious „ humoi and quintessence of his fun any thing that the war has thus far produc ed. Be telegraphed General Kouropat kin, who transmited the message to the Czar: "Yesterday I had intended to attack the enemy's right flank, but just as our troops bad been assigned for the purpose and were beginning to envelop successfully the enemy's right flank the pMfer.a - Japanese with superior force attacked my right flank, and I was compelled to retreat by three roads to the north." AT the entrance to the Senate Honso in Helslngfors, Finland, last Thursday, fc - the son of a Finnish Senator shot, mortally it is thought. Count Bobrikoff, the Russian Governor of the former Gnuid Duchy, and then committed suicide. What the destruction of Fin nish independence in the attempt to Buseify the province has compelled has been chronicled piecemeal for four years. Suppression of the newspapers; military conscription in an army where Price and religions instincts vary; pro hibition of singing their national anthem when a statue to their great epic poet is inaugurated; oxile of emi nent citizens; compulsory illuminations in honor of the war agßinst Japan; neglect to convoke the Diet, like Louis XVI, In France ignored at his coct the Btate General—everything that was drastic, rancorous and oppressive this man execnted. OFFICIALLY, Secretary of State Hay has decided that this country is "America" and not the "United States" for such purposes as ma.y require con traction. This is a very proper decision, though it still leaves the matter less de finite than could be desired. There are a good many countries that have "United States" in them, and there t>re also three Americas, each with a num ber of nations in them, so that we are without a brief patronymic. Never theless, we are commonly known abroad as Americans, and there are few civiliz ed persons who would stop to inquire whether the term referred to some of the United States in Central or South America. In Canada this country is commonly called "The States," and in tbe past there has been some umbrage over the fact that we seemed to have appropriated tbe term American to our own particular nation, which in its broadest sense refers to the whole of the Western Hemisphere. The important feature is not so much what our name is as what we stand for. and in this re spect, without indulging in too much boasting, we have a sense of pride that WAR NOTES. The Russian advance to relieve Poit Arthur was Btopped, last week, in th vicinity of Fnchan, and after severel days fighting, the Japs turned theßrs sian left and defeated them capturing fourteen field guns and much material. The Jap loss in the battle is pat ht 2000. This victory of the Japs sepa rates the Campaign against Port Arthur entirely from that against Gen. Kurc patkin, whose lines are extended so as to protect Hai-Cheng and Liao\ang. and whose rear is threatened by the Jap column advancing trom Kwan tien, while Kuroki's army immediately in front of him is keeping him busy. The desperate fighting of the Japs at Kinchn and Nan Shan is the marvel of military experts all over the world. A narrow neck of land, extending one mile and three quarters from sea to sea. was defended by 10 forts. Trenches and rifle pits, covered by mines and wire entanglements, were constructed at every point of vantage, and in sever al tiers.' On this occasion the Russian artillery must have been vastly superior in caliber and range to the Japanese ar tillery and yet the Russian forces were driven from the field with the loss of much of their artillery. ' The military critic of the London Times remarks: "If a Russian division ot 8,000 to 12.00& men, backed up by 50 or more siege and 16 quick-firing field guns, cannot hold 3,oo Ivanln, for Fiscal Year ending .June Ist, Treasurer's Account Money Received. balance on liand from last year ?

Tnesday morning, to a fall house as usual. There were no remonstrances against Benj Forqucr, Win. Lackey and Adolphus Boch of Cliicora. Chas. Swager of Pe trolia, Wm. Wahl, Geo. Gehm and C. H. Miller of Evans City, Chas. Gregg, wholesale, Evans City, Louis Ziegler and Samuel Beam of Harmonv, and John Muder and Chas. Gibson of Saxon bnrg and they were quickly disposed of. The court asked particularly about the order at Chicora and Evans City and about the necessity of more licenses in Evans City. When Zehenople was reached it ap peared that a friend of H. W. Stokey had a remonstrance prepared against Franz Luek and Lnek s friends had a remonstrance against Stokey. Lnek was alleged to be unfit and Stokey to have violated the law. Earl Allison testified he had got drinks at Stokey s when under age. There was no remonstrance against Amelia Knanif of Zelienople. Citizens of Mars had remonstrances against David StewaTt and J. K. Carr who asked for tavern licenses there and a large number of witnesses were heard. The Butler list was then commenced. The petition of Simeon and Brown Nix on was the first called. A carworker named Dinwiddie, who is alleged to be a man of known intemperate habits and and who said on the stand he had had several drinks that day, testified, af ter much delay, that he had been with Jos. Moore, Ralph Coghlev, Walter Drake, Jas. Clarrick and Alex Coran, all minors, in the Hotel Nixon bar and the mi«<>rs had received drinks The men named were present and testified the same. Dinwiddie formerly lived in Leechbnrg and the l>oys named were from Leechburg and said they got the drinks in March while on a trip from Leechburg. They were brought from that place to testifiy. G. C. Haworth's application for the Hotel Bowman was then taken up. He was also remonstrated ngaicst for vio lations. The first case called yesterday morn ing \va» that of Ralph Greta: of the Park Hotel. N. C. Starkey, a Rood looking young man who is th*< Anti-Sa loon League detective, H. C. Dewoody. J a?. Clarrick and Alex Coram were called for the remonstrants and testified that liquor was solu to minors, men of known intemperate habit 9. men visibly intoxicated and on tick. The case of Capt. Herman Liebold of the Arlington was next heard. The re monstrance was objected to on legal de fects and the Court directed the Dis trict Attorney to investigate the charges and lay them before the next grand jury, while the license was held over. After that all remonstrances were ad mitted and the charges heard. They were the same anainst E. D. Clinton of the Standard. C. H. Geis of the Lyndora A. Klien of the Williard and Kemp Bros, of the Lowry. The action of the Court in the Lie bold case gave rise to the general belief that there will be no licenses until after the charges are aired in next Quarter Sessions During the hearing of the Hotel Low ry application, Starkey told of a Salva tion Army girl, while selling papers, being insulted in the bar-room. The wholesale list was taken up this | morning. tnloreut On SAVINGS ACCOUNTS Compounded Semi-Annually. A9HET9 OVKB $7,000,000.00 • Write for Booklet "IIOW TO BANK BY MilL."
