The Republican State Convention that met in Harrisburg yesterday was composed of 429 delegates the largest in the history of the party. Judges Rice, Orlady and Beaver were renomin ated tor the Snperior bench , and J. L. Plummer for State Treasurer; without opposition. Capt Hays having with drawn. A. M. Christley of Batler was named as member of the State Commit tee, The convention was called to or der at 10.40 and adjoarned at 12.00. A Washington D. C. correspondent got off this, last week. ' Pennsylva nlans here, and eeperinUy vkx® o£ tb«s Republican persuasion, are discussing the developments of the past week in Pennsylvania in so far as they have a bearing on the fight for governor next year, and it must be admitted that all •re more or less mystified. It is con ceded that there is a "nigger in the woodpile," but his identity cannot be figured Qut. There were at least lour developments that have tended to befog those who pietend to be in the confi dence of the leaders and heretofore have established reputations of being able to predict whom Senator Penrose and Insurance Commissioner Durham will name when the time comes to de cide," and he goes on to blather about Andrews, Elkin, Huff, Wiley, Sibley, Watree, etc. HARRISBURG. On Thursday last Gov. P. signed seventeen and vetoed seven of the bills in his hands. Among the bills signed was the new pure-food law, and another fixing a penalty for throwing rubbish on the streets; also the Greater Pitts * burg bill, which was the cause of a jubilee in Pittsburg. On Friday he signed two bills and heard some arguments; and on Satur day he signed twenty-nine bills and vetoed six. The bills signed relate to Sheriff's deeds, turnpike sidewalks, adulteration of oils, division of town ships, state supervision of sewerage, railroad crossing, underground conducts for telegraph and telephone wires, building cf school houses, election of school secretaries, collection of collater al-inheritance tax, public libraries, use of explosives, capital stock of corpora tions, etc., etc.; and will make some reading matter for the attorneys of the ftate when the Pamphlet Laws for the session appear in book form. THE discovery of a revolutionary plot among the officers of the Czar's personal guard shows more than any other re cent development the internal condi tion of Russia and the extent to which the spirit of terrorism has spread. A COLLATERAL issue of the life in surance squabble appears in the discus sion of the propriety of using insurance funds by having either the companies themselves or their officers 'underwrite' corporate securities. The existence of this practice seems beyond dispute. Frank G. Bigelow, president of the First National Bank, of Milwaukee, was arrested, Monday, charged with the embezzlement of over SIOO,OOO of the bank's funds. The arrest of Mr. Bige low followed his confession to the board of directors of the bank that he was a defaulter to the extent of $1,450,000. Following Mr. Bigelow's confession he was removed from the presidency of the bank and facts in the case were laid be fore the Federal authorities. He lost the money speculating in stocks and wheat. THE New York corrupt-practices bill passed by the Senate of that state with out a dissenting vote contains feature* that introduce new deterrents to the methods by which elections are debauch ed. The main one is the expenditure of money contrary to the provisions of the statutes, bribery or attempts to bril>e yoters or to induce them to refrain from voting or registering in sufficient num ber to indicate that they are part of a general plan is cause for declaring tliu election null and void and ordering a new election; but, if a petitioner alleges fraud without having proof to make good his allegation the law provides for S judgement against him not in excess 01 jaw. THE TWO FLEETS. The entire Russian fleet left Kamranh Bay, Cochin China, last Saturday at noon; were heard at target practice that afternoon, and when last seen were headed north, though it was said they would stop for coal at Hainan island. It would be a rash prophecy, aavs the Scientific American, to declare that in the impending battle victory must fall to the Japanese fleet. Matters are not as they were when the determination was first taken to dispatch a second fleet to the Pacific. Since that time at least one, and probably two, of the Jap anese battleships have been lost beyond recovery, and it is quite possible that Togo can oppose but four battleships to the seven battleships under Roiestven sky—and it is battleships that decide the fate of a naval campaign. There can be no question that the Baltic fleet has been greatly underesti mated by the general public, partly be cause of the North Sea incident, and partly because of the widely-circulated rumor that this was a "scratch fleet,' composed of obsolete ves3els. As to this last, nothing could be farther from the truth. Four of the battleships are absolutely new. They are an improve ment upon the "Czarevitch,' which, it Will be remembered, stood for hours tbe concentrated attack of Togo's bat tleships, without having any of her big gnns silenced or the structural efficien cy of her hull seriously impaired. These f jur ships are probably able to stand a giverer hammering, and are more diffi cult to sink by gun fire than any ships afloat in the world to-day. The "Boro dino'' "Orel,"' "Alexander III." and "Survaroff" mount, among them, six teen 12-inch. 40-caiiber guns, which, b?ing absolutely new, are good for a muzzle velocity of 2,600 feet per second. The Russians use capped projectiles, and with these the gun is capable of penetrating 12 inches of Krupp steel at 5,000 yards and 15 inches at 3,000 yards. If Admiral Togo is to sink these ehips, or so cripple them as to have them at his mercy, he will have to fight at a rang? so near that the Russian ships cannot fail to place their shells with considerable effect upon his vessels. In addition to these battleships there is the "Osliabia." built in 1900, which carries four 10-inch guns, capable of penetrat ing ICH inches of steel at 5,000 yards and 13 inches at 3,000 yards. All of these vessels have a trial speed of 18 knots an hour, although, of course, they are just now much slower because of foul bottoms The other two battle ships, "Sissoi Veliky" aDd "Navarin." mount between them eight 12-inch, 35-calibre guns, capable of penetrating 8£ inches of Krupp steel at 5.000 and 11 inches at 3,000 yards. Their speed is two knots slower than that of the other battleships. The four Japanese battleships (or five as the case may be) mount between them either sixteen or twenty 12-inch guns of about the same penetrative power as the Russian pieces. With the exception of the "Mikasa," however, they are protected by Harveyized armor of considerably less resistance than the Krupp steel on the latest Russian ships. In battleships the Russian have un doubtedly a preponderance of power. It ie to be borne in mind, however, that Japan possesses eight or seven (one is repoited to have been lost) very effective armonred cruisers, any one of which is more than a match for the two old armoured cruisers "Nakhimoft" and "Donskoi" of the Russian fleet. They mount, between them, thirty-two guns of 8-inch caliber, and they are protected by 6to 7 inches of Krupp armour. It is scarcely likely, however, that these ships will be placed in the first line of battle, within ranue of the 13-inch guns of the Russian fleet; and with the pos sible exception of the Italian-built ''Kasuga" and "Nisshin," they will probably be held in reserve until it is seen how the fight between the battle ships is going. Should Togo be able to draw the sting from the Russian battle ships, and seriously cripple them, his armoured cruisers would close in to as sist in delivering the "coup de grace." The Russian fleet includes several fine protected cruiserß of between li.ooo and 6,000 tons displacement, and a few torpedo boats. If Rojestvensky should by any chance elude Admiral Togo and effect a junction with the armoured cruisers at Vladivostok, his fleet would be greatlv strengthened, and his chances of success enhanced; but that is a re mote possibility. So much for the material of the fleet and It must be admitted that, judged on this basis, the second Pacific squadron is a menace to Japan's com mand of the sea, so serious P.S to make it possible that a victorious peace may be snatched from her grasp in the very moment of its attainment. Bat when we come to consider the other elements of efficiency, sach as the condition of the ships, the familiarity of officers and crews with their vessels, the skill of the gunners, and the general "morale" of the whole fleet, it must bt admitted that the advantages lie very greatly with Japtfh, The Japanese are very familiar with the sound and the shock of battle. The Russians, who doubtless have been doing much target practice during their six months' cruise, are ac customed merely to the discharge of their own guns -they know nothing of the awful crash of bursting shell; the rending of steel plating; the sight of shattered limbs and all the hideous car nage of a 'tween decks that is being swept by tho enemy's fire. It is one thing to aim at a floating target during the quiet routine of a cruise, and an other to aim at a target that is making the deck upon which one stands a verit able shambles. Rojestventsky leads his fleet to what the world, perhaps un justly, considers to be at best but a for lorn hope; whereas the Japanese steam into battle flushed with all the confi dence and self-posses3iou born of an un broken succession of victories. Rarely did two contending fleets fiulit with such stupendous consequences hauging upon the result. Should Japan win, she will reap the fruits of a series of victories that is without parallel in the history of the world, and move at a bound to the front rank as a world power. Should Rojestvensky, by crush ing the enemy, obtain command of the seas, and cut of Oyama and hi." armies from Japan, he will have wrested vic tory from defeat, and saved to Ilnt-sia an empire that has all but fallen from her grasp. THE Stete Supreme Court, upon the application of ex-Gov Stone has grant ed a preliminary injunction restraining the Mayor of Pittsbnrg and other city officials from filing in the common pleas court of Allegheny connty, a peti tion for an order for a special election for the purpose of ascertaining the views of the citizens on a proposition to consolidate the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny. The case will be heard by the court dnring the week beginning May 8 next, and a decision may be ex pected before Jane 1. WAR NOTES. Military operations in M anc^nr ' a came to a standstill with the arrival of the Russian fleets in Eastern waters. No news has come from the armies, and they seem to be occupying the same positions they did a wtvlt^go. A Russian victory on the water would be of such vast import to both sidts, and would so change all the Japanese plans, that their generals ara undecided and waiting. Yesterday the two Russian fleets were reported to have come together, and to have taken possesion of a port of the Chinese island of Hainan, thereby great ly exciting the Chinese authorities, at-d the Jap fleet under Togo was reported at Masampo bay in lower Corea, but the chances are he is in hiding among t'ue Pescadores islands. The Jap government was reported to be buying steamers of all kinds where ever they could get them. TfiE RUSSIAN government has just issued a new edict regarding the gov ernment of Manchuria and tbe peninsu la ; also reorganizing the school system of Port Arthur, and appointing two po lice judges for that city. This should be followed by a program for Kuropat kin's triumphal entry into Tokio As there is a governor to be elected next year the people of Pennsylvania ought to begin looking around and siz ing men up with a view to getting tbe right sort of an executive. He should be a man of approved and unquestioned honesty, with the good of the State at heart: who could be relied upon at all times to aet from a sense of right. He should be a man of exalted ideals, with no suspicion of the political "rooster about him, who dees not regard the Con stitution as a joke, and who has no ec centricities to exhibit and no enemies to punish. If the people do not take sufficient interest in this matter to select the man they want for Governor of the Commonwealth, they need not be sur prised or indignant when they learn that a candidate has been picked out for them and that they have not been consulted about the matter. Spirit. FII'ES. Some awnings stuffed in the hallway of the old frame building, adjoining the Y. M. C. A. wanted out so badly that they indulged in spontaneous combus tion the other night. Brown's barn, at the corner of W Penn and Broad streets, was discovered to be burning yesterday noon, and the firemen went out there and put it out — put the fire out. Winfield township was the scene of an extensive fire, on Wednesday of last week. The summer house attached to the house of Geo. Watson, on the old Tom Watson farm, took fire from the bakeoven that afternoon and the flames spread to the house, which was entirely consumed, witn all its contents, except ing the organ. Mrs. Watson was sick in bed at the time, and was carried to a neighbor's. The flames then spread to a straw stack, and from it to the barn, which burned with all its contents several tons of hay, 300 bushels of oats, farming implements, etc. A rail fence, nearby, then took fire, and the flames spread to the fields. It is said that the neighborhood was fighting the fire until 11 o'clock that night. Mr. Watson's entire loss is several thousand dollars, and his insurance with the Grangers is $3,800. The bursting of a steam pipe in the new Hotel Lowry. last Friday evening, made people think the house was on fire, and the three central fire companies had their hose laid, and were ready to throw water on the building, five minutes after tbu alarm wus Bounded. ACCIOENTS. Mrs. John E. Ktinkle of Greenaburg visited friends in Butler, last Thursday, returned home that afternoon.and went to church with her husband that even ing. but while she was at church a bottle of gasoline was dropped from the mantel to the hearth in front of a gas fire in the room her children occupied, the flames spread over the room, almost instantly, and three t>f lier children were burned to death. Miss Maud Fishpaw of Great Belt kept her medicine on the s-tme shelf with some poision; took a dose of the latter, by mistake, last Friday, and came very near departing this life. An Ohio man named Humes tried to cut his throat, at West Winfield, last Friday, but his dull knife did not reach the jugular. The man was suffering from a prolouged drunk, and was brought to Butler and put in the padded cell of the jail. Bert Logan had his nose broken, last week, by being hit with the tongue of a wagon that he was moving out of the barn. Burton, eon of M. H. Thompson of Clay twp., met with a serious accident in Somerset connty last Wednesday. He is engineer at an electric plant there and seems to have been caught in the belt and thrown against the wall. He was fonnd nnconscions and continned so for some hours. Andrew J. MeMeans. of Freeport, a pensioner of the Penn'a R R , was run down and horribly mangled by a freight engine at Bntler Junction, yesterday He was years of ago and leaves a family. Religions Fanaticism. Near the town of Trinidad in south ern Colorado there is a Mexican settle ment of religious fanatics.called Torres, and at this place a man is said to have been crucified last week. The crucifixtion was the result of the annual Good Friday observations of the Peuitentes, who practice scouruinir to drive sin from the body. The victim was a volunteer. The physical pain of the victim must have been awful, but the rej»ort says the smile of a martyr lighted his face. The Coroner of Las Animas county has taken steps to in vestigate the story. Women Who Work Need Strong, Vigorous Nerves. c 5 The life of women and uirls who work is at best a hard one and even under the most favorable circumstances the results often show shattered nervous systems and broken down health.
