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.
