CHICAGO!
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<Xyards of front, strongly intrench
ed, and secure on the flanks, against
the rush of infantry in the open restrict
ed to a frontal assault, it is hard to say
what position it can ever expect to de
fend with success."
The effect throughout Europe has
been to produce the conviction not only
that tbe Russi an cause is hopeless, but
that Japan must be regarded as one of
the few really great powers in the
world. The fact is recognized that the
whole situation of world politics is per
manently changed. There is a good
deal of speculation as to how the future
of the United States will be affected,
for European critics are more keenly
aware than ourselves of the fact that
Japan is nearer to us than any other
western power. From our habit of tak
ing an Atlantic aspect for our foreign
outlook, Japan appears to be in tho far
east, «hereas looking across the Pacific
she is in the near west. Happily there
are many bonds of amity between Ja
pan and the United States and no dis
cernible conflict of national interests.
Japanese expansion opens up a pros
pect of mutual advantage for both pow
ers.
The Russian warships in Vladivis
tock eluded the vigilance of the Jap
fleet some days ago, and got into sea.
They ran across three Jap vessels
transporting troops from Japan to
Manchuria and after ordering them to
stop, fired upon and sunk them. Many
of the Japs were drowned and some
were saved; and on one of the Jap
vessels the Jap officers commited sui
cide rather than become prisoners.
On Tuesday a general engagement
was reported to be in progress between
the Jap. and Russian arms near Kai-
Ping, 150 miles north of Port Arthur.
The Japs buried 1516 dead Russians
after the battle of Vafanzow, and the
latter admit a loss of 3000 in killed and
wounded.
Tlio Strninboat Disaster.
Among the hundreds of bodies lying
at the Morgue in N. Y. City, last Fri
day, awaiting identification, were those
of Miss Lizzie Meininger and her
daughter of Allegheny, who were visit
ing friends there at the time of the ex
cursion and disaster. By Satuiday
I eyeniug 577 bodies had been recovered
from the water and hulk of the burned
vessel, 83 of which were not yet identi
fied; 325 were yet missing, and 58 in
jured people were in the hospitals.
This most pitiable and terrible dis
aster will probably cause the enact
ment of laws regarding the construc
tion and management of excursion
boats in all states having water fronts,
and it might be well for the law to reg
ulate the make up of excursion trains,
and the building of all railroad bridges
and culverts.

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.

ing \va» that of Ralph Greta: of the

looking young man who is th*< Anti-Sa
loon League detective, H. C. Dewoody.

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.
