THE BUTLER CITIZEN. WILLIAM O. NBOLKY Publisher. THURSDAY. JANUARY 19, 1905 HJH per year la Advaacc. Otherwise >l-50 ITARRIHBUH(;. 9 Both houses met Monday evening. In the Senate Mr. Herbst's resolution censuring Gov. Pennypacker was ruled out of order, and tabled by a vote of 32 to 8; the Governor nominated David Cameron to succeed Judge Niles, dec d, of Tioga county, and also sent to the Senate a long list of J. P's and Notary Public, all of which were confirmed. The Honse was in session but one hour and then adjourned in respect to the memory of Ward R. Blis3, dec d, a late member. The greater part of the Allegheny county delegation wiU urge the Great er-Pittsburg bill,-this session, and also a bill for more Courts in that county. On Tuesday 185 members of the House and 38 of the Senate voted for P. C. Knox for TJ. S. Senator, and he was elected, yesterday, in joint session by the largest majority ever given a can didate in tlxis state for that office. Senator McNees succeeded in secur ing P. W. Lowry, of Butler, the place he wanted, Reading Clerk of the Senate, and J.N. Moore was continued, through the influence of Walton, as Journal Clerk of the House. The Pennsylvania State Editorial as sociation, at its annual meeting, Tues day, adopted these resolutions: "The Pennsylvania State Editorial as sociation, believing in only such em- ployment of the public press as is per mitted by the constitution and laws cf the states fairly interpreted, hereby Resolves, That the injection by Gov. Pennypacker o! an entirely personal matter into a state paper and into pro posed legislation, in snch a manner as gratuitously to cast reflection upon the character of the press of the state, as a whole, was uncalled for, unwarranted and unjustified; and it further Resolves, That the position taken by GOT. Pennypacker both in his message and in his proposed bill, marked "A, ' is contrary to the constitution and to good policy in that it restrains both prtss and speech, and is unjust in that it jeopardises important interests of the state. The Governor has no right to strike the personal critics over the of all the newspapers of Pennsyl vania." The capitol building commission filed its second report with the legislature, Tuesday evening. The commission .re ports that over 75 per cent of the work contracted for has been completed and recommends legislation making pro vision for turning the building over to the state when completed in January. 1906. Washington Notes. Senator J. H. Mitchell, of Oregon, braving the precedents of a century, appeared upon the floor of the Senate, Tuesday, and defended his good name •gainst the attacks of his traducers and in the face of [an indictment on the charge of being implicated in the land frauds in his state. Two bills were introduced in the House, Monday, that are supposed to have been inspired by the President. Mr. Townsend's bill creates a court of transportation with the powers of the Circuit Court, having original exclusive jurisdiction of all causes growing out of such orders, regulations or require ments that may be made and pro mulgated by the Inter-State Commerce Commission either in law or equity. Mr. Esch's bill provides that the Inter- State Commerce Commission shall de clare, when 'complaint is made, what shall be a just and reasonable rate, practice or regulation for the future with respect or any matter of trans portation. Vespasian Warner, whom the presi dent has selected for pension commis sioner to succeed E. F. Ware of Kansas, served in the army of the Tennessee and was wounded in the battle of Shiloh. . WAR NOTES. The Russian note, of last week, to the Powers, complaining of the Chi nese, claiming that they were aiding the Japs in several ways, and threaten ing retaliation, was answered by the Japs, filing attention to the fact that the Russian Baltic fleet is hiding in some port of Madagascar, which is con trolled by the French. The Russians followed up their note by sending a large body of Cossack cavalry into Chi nese territory west of the Liao river, with the intention, the Japs thought, of circling around and cutting the rail road between Port Arthur and the Jap lines along the Sakhe, and this may cause a lengthening of the already long lh>— of the two great armies facing each other. Why the Chinese do not pluck up ■punk enough to aid the Japs in driving the Russians out of Eastern Asia is be yond comprehension. The Russian or St. Petersburg social season opened very tamely, last week. There were visits but no festivities on their New Years day. Gen. Strossel, family and officers were taken to Nagasaki, Japan, and left there, (excepting Gen. Fock) in a French steamer for Marseilles, Tuesday. The North Sea Commission is in ses sion in Paris. The proceeding are being conducted in the French language. Thirty-two Gen. Nogi's army and 368-siege guns were sent to the army of the Sakhe river, which now numbers 388,000 men. Two million voters did not go to the polls, last November. Important Postal RuMug. The Postmaster at Bucyrus, 0.. has a ruling from the government which, is of interest to every community where the rural free delivery is in force. A local carrier found in a raail box on his route two letters that were intended for the owner of the box and had been put there by some one passing. The fetters were confiscated and sent to the government at Washington with a re quest to r a ruling. The government approved the action of the carrier and said all mail found in the boxes with out stamps or the proper amount of money for postage, must be collected and taken to the office from which the route is operated and held for postage.
