B. EKAS, Buffalo twp. Washington JNotes. \ The delegation in Congress from this state "did themselves proud" last Fri day. Nineteen of them assembled in some Committee room and resolved to oppose the Townsend-Esch bill, or at least to delay action upon it. Mr. Sib ley and others plead for more time, and our member, Mr. Huff, is quoted as say ing that he believed the creation of a law that placed in the hands of seven men the right to make railroad rates would ruin the industries of this country. He agreed with the President that rebates were an evil, and he stood ready to help to do away wi th them. "I think it is the duty of the Pennsyl vania delegation to openly oppose this measure," he said "It is incendiary. It means anarchy. I believe that we should say that it is dangerous and that we will have none of it," and they "Re solved, That the caucus of Republican representatives be informed by Mr. Bates, chairman of the Pennsylvania delegation, that it is the nnanimons sense of the Republican representatives of Pennsylvania that the meeting to day should be a free conference, and that, if necessary, one or more such con ferences be held for discussion of the proposed legislation respecting inter" state commerce." Then tbey went into the cancns of the Republican members from all over the country, and made a kick on putting the bill through, bnt found themselves almost standing alone. Speaker Cannon made a strong plea for the passage of the bill, declaring that the people of the country are de manding legislation upon this subject and some action must be taken whether the senate concurs in it or not. He said that it would be impossible to frame a bill that would suit everybody, but he thought this was a bill that every Re publican could afford to support. When Mr. Mahon of Penn'a announc ed that he would not support it, the speaker challenged him to frame a better one. The debate between him and Mr. Mahon became very interest ing and the latter left the chamber, bnt not as a bolter. He had stated his posi tion and did not care to vote, as he de clined to be bound by the action taken. Representative Wagner of Pennsyl vania moved that the caucus adjourn till Tuesday night, bnt this motion was defeated by a vote of 44 to 107, and on motion of Mr. Hepburn a rule was adopted for the presentation of the bill in the House, Monday, with final action on Thursday. On Monday the bill was taken up and was made the continuing order until 3 p. m. of to-day; excepting yesterday, when the House canvassed the electoral vote. Mr. Hnff was in his seat, but re fused to answer when his name was called, but Mr. Mahon and nearly all the others fell into line. In discussing the bill Mr. Townsend of Michigan, one of its anthors, said that it had the two-fold object of giving to the interstate commerce commission power to fix a rate and to hasten aud expudiate the work of determining whether the rates would stand or not through the special court created for the purpose of expedition. There will never be a day, he said, in the history of this country, when the people would ask less. "Tomorrow they may demand more," because they bad suffered long and now were demanding a fair deal. "Let the railroads comply with this law," he said in conclusion, "and voluntarily correct any evils not covered by this bill, and it will be well with them. Let theia oppose its just provisions and they will but accumu late troubles against the day of judg ment." During the debate on the Rebate bill in the House, Tuesday, speeches in fav or of it were uiade by a number of Congressmen, and against it by Sibley of Penn'a and McCall of Mass. The Senate that day passed the state hood bill after amending it so as to unite Oklahoma and Indian Territory into one state and admit New Mexico. D. B. Heiner, collector of internal revenue at Pittsburg was in Washing ton Monday and conferred with Senator Penrose in regard to the question of his reappointment. Mr Heiner's term does not expire nntil a year from next spring but he has been laying plans looking to a re-appointment. THE Townsend —Esch railroad anti rebate bill will probably pass the House at Washington today; and it will then be sent to the Senate; where it will die a nice, easy death. The people of this country have not now and never will have a Sovereign government in their interest until U. S. Senators are elect ed by the people, and as for Congress men, the actions of the Pennsylvania delegation, last week and this, ought to open the eyes of the people to the fact that sendiog corporation-million ares to represent us at Washington ia a grave mistake. IIARIiISBITBG. The most noteworthy incident at Har risbnrg last week was the lectnre re ceived by certain Republican members of the Konse by Speaker Walton, for voting for "Farmer"' Creasy 's resolution endorsing President Roosevelt. That and the action of our delegation at Washington is significant. Walton followed this np by appoint ing a "steering" or "whip" committee to tell the Republican members how to vote. The House did a uood thing, Tuesday, b> killing the Senate bill to pension cer tain Judges. Rep. Dunsmore's amend ment changing the age limit from <0 to 00 was adopted by n vote of 91 to 72. In the Senate, Tuesday, a bill was in troduced classifying boroughs,and mak ing High Constables Chief of Police at a fixed salary; and a bill appropriating $1(5,000 to cover the expenses of a brig ade of N. G. P. to Washington for the inauguration, passed finally. WAR NOTES. Very little news has come from the two great armies, entrenched along the Sakhe river in Manchuria, during the past few days. The details of the last battle; tha attack of the Russian right on the Jap. left were fearful. Blood from the wounded froze as it flowe l. and they had to be cared for immediate ly: or they died. There were some slight skirmishes, last Sunday; and there are reports ol another battle beinar im minent but they are hardly true, as fighting in zero weather, with the ground frozen solid is too terrible. The Japs again report that the Russians mutilate the dead and wounded. From Russian sources come reports of a disa greement between Kuropatkin and Grippenberg, the latter reporting to the Czar that his attack on the Jap left was not supported. In St. Petersburg and Moscow the promises made by the Czar seem to have averted revolution, but disturbances continue in Poland and Finland In Poland 400,000 men are on a "strike"' with daily riots; and in Finland the Russian Procnrator-Gen" eral was assasinated, Monday. A gener al demonstration is reported for March 4t'n, and American and English resi dents are leaving the country. The police are prohibiting gatherings of more than twenty, even in dining rooms. Nearly all the large towns in Russia are under martial law, and several govern ment factories have been burned. Father Gopon is said to be safe in Switzerland. The Xcw Trolley. (Pittsburg Times of Monday.) Plans for an interurban trolley road between Pittsburg and Butler are near ing completion, and have progressed so far already that rights of way have been obtained; the company has been organ ized and granted State charters; prelim inary surveys have been made; and in the spring a location corps will be put into the field to actually select the line of the tracks. Charles Gibson, Jr. of Gibsonia, is the promoter of the com pany, and the project will be financed by a number of men well known in Pitts burg's financial world, most of them being indentified with prominent trust companies and banks in Pittsburg. The company is known as the Pittsburg and Butler street Railway company. The company has made an agreement with the Pittsburg Railways company for the nse of the latter company 's tracks from Sixth street and Liberty avenue, Pittsbnrg, to Etna. The new line will rnn out through Glenshaw, DeHaven, Valencia, Mars, Renfrew and into But ler. It is the intention to lay a track with heavy T rails, with a rock ballast, capable of carrying the heaviest traffic, and the cars are to be 60 feet in length, and will be equipped with four 73 horse power motors each, and will be capable of attaning a speed of 40 miles an hour. It is planned to make the run from Butler to Pittsburg in 1 hour and 42 minutes. The fare to be charged is 50 cents each way. The road is being built with the idea of handling passenger traf fic entirely, as the laws of Pennsylvania will not allow freight to be hauled on trolley lines, but if the laws can be changed the company will be ready at once to go into the freight traffic. Plans have not materialized far enough for the asking of bids for con struction of the line. The location corps has not been sent out and will not be until the opening of Spring. There are few bridges to be built along the route, which will greatly lessen the cost of construction, and the esti mated cost of the building of the new road is about $1,500,000 The Pitts burg and Western railroad tracks, wherever it is necessary to cross them will be croesed by bridges, which will lessen the danger of travel and avoid controversy with the railroad company about the right to cross its tracks. Another part of the scheme is for the construction and equipment of at least one fine park, and possibly two, along the route. One of the locations selec ted is in the vicinity of Wildwood, and a park there is as much of a certainty as is the construction of the road. An other park near Mars to catch the But ler trade is also talked of, but has not been settled upon yet. FIRES] The cottage occupied by John Miller, carrier on R. F. D. 38. and his mother on the Butler road near Stains bridge burned a few mornings ago. The fire was caused by a high pressure of gas coming on in the kitchen. Mr. Miller awoke too late to save anything bat the clothes they dressed in, and lost all household effects. A nice purse was donated to them the next day by neighbors and friends. At 10 a. m., Friday, fire damaged a house on West Penn St. owned by E. K. Maxwell and occupied by Carl. Broinan and his mother, to the extent of S3OO. The fire started under a sink, where some frozen water pipes were being thawed out and ate its Way between the siding and the plaster to the roof. At 3:20 last Friday morning, when the thermometers re«istered 20 degrees below zero, the local Salvation Army Adjutant was taken ill at his home in the Barracks on West Jefferson St. and fainted. His wife threw water on him and shouted, vainly trying to rouse him. The people next door thought she was shouting fire and the man ran ont, tele phoned in an alarm which called out the fire department, ran to Campbell's res taurant and secured a fire extinguisher with which he hastened to the room where the sick man lay, awaiting a physician. Then he returned in disgust. The Union U. P. church in Adams twp., about two miles east of Callery, and built in 1839 was destroyed by fire last Sunday afternoon. The Sunday School had just opened when it was noticed that the roof was burning—the fire probably originating from a defeo tive flue. There was a hasty exit of the scholars, and the organ, carpet and nearly all the furniture were saved. The building was of brick, and was one of the historic church buildings of the county. Fair view Facts. Rev. W. J. McNight is holding a series of meeting in the U. P. church here. Protracted meetings are being held in the M. E. church now by Rev. Small. Communion in the IJ. P. church one week from next Sunday, Rev. J. A. O. McQuistion, pastor. Miss Mary Young has been on the sick list, but is now able to be around again. Mr. J. M. White of the Southern Oil company while in Bntler last week accidently fell and broke his leg. As Mrs 8. D. Dodds and son were coming from Butler on Monday the horse ran away, overturned the sleigh and left the driverh. A teamster canght the horse and held it until the driven caught up. AC'C'i I)KXTS.

Peun St. was caught and crushed in the machin ery of a drill-machine at the Car Works, Monday morning. He was taken to the Hospital, where he died before noon. A bobsled, with a team driven by Wm.
