The Republican Standing Committee hart a
very harmonious meeting in this place Saturday.
We are glad to note that harmony was the order
of the day.
The populace of Snyder county will be on
the move for the next three weeks. Quite a
number from Penn township will go to Dakota
j and many of the others will move for better or
I worse.
The report comes from Harrisburg that $750
had been sent into this county in the interest of
a certain candidate for Governor. According to
the report $375 was given to one man and 375
to another man for the purpose of distribution.
Chairman Young received $100 for the use of
the committee, if a certain candidate's name
would be placed ou the ticket and Mr. Young,
like a gentleman and an honest man, returned
the $100 and took a receipt for it. This clears
Mr. Young. Now, let us see what the Deacon
oi the Pilgrim band has to say.
The political bees are already buzzing for
the next Republican primary election. Six or
eight candidates are already spoken of for Pro-
thonotary and quite a number for Associate
Judge. .

SECRETARY LONG HAS RE3IGNED
Representative Moody, of Massiehu
ette, Accepts Naval Portfolio.
Washington, March 11. The third
change in tho cabinet of President
Roosevelt occurred yesterday, when
Secretary Long submitted his resig
nation In a graceful letter, to take
effoct May 1, It being accepted In one
Hftially felicitous by the president.
The change .was made complete by the
election of Representative William
Henry Moody, of the Sixth congres
sional district of Massachusetts, aa
Mr. Long's successor In the navy de
partment. This change has been expected for
a long time. Mr. Long had Intended
to retire at the beginning of the late
President McKlnley's second term, but
he consented to remain until certain
lines of policy In which he was In
volvel were more satisfactorily ar
ranged. Then when President Roose
velt succeeded, though anxious to re
turn to private life for Secretary
Long will never again enter public
life a strong feeling of loyalty
towards Mr. Roosevelt Induced the sec
retary to defer his retirement until
It was convenient for the president to
make a change.
The news that Representative
Moody had been offered and had ac
oil stoTeU placed vy.SOrtfollo cached the
(,.. jesterday afternoon, and Mr.
... who was on the floor of the
- . je, was showered with hearty con
gratulations. For several minutes he
held a regular levee In one ot the aide
aisles on the Republican side. Demo
cratic members noticed the demon
strations and crossed over to Join In
the ovation, his congratulations from
that quarter being fully as hearty and
sincere as those from his own side of
the bouse.
RURAL MAIL BILL PASSED
It Increases Salary of Carriers From

Washington, March 11. The bill to
classify the rural free delivery service
and place the carriers under the con
tract system, which has been debated
In the house for over a week, was
passed yesterday, but In a form that
completely changed the purpose for

ty Its opponents. All the provisions
relating to the placing of the carriers
tinder the contract system were
Stricken out and the salary system not
only continued, but the maximum sal
ary of carriers was Increased from
$500 to $600 per annum.

lows: Special agents In charge of di

to Repair Chinese Legation.
Pekln, March 11. A prominent
Manchu censor has memorialized the
throne for the removal of Wu Ting

ostensibly for repairs to tho Chinese
Jegatioa at Washington, $30,000 of tho

CORONATION TRIP OFF
Hist Roosevelt Will Not 8ee King
Edward VII Crowned.
Washington, March 8. Miss Alice
Roosevelt will not attend tho corona
tion of King Edward VII. next June.
While this is not officially announced.
It Is admitted at the White House to
be true. The canceling of Miss Roose
velt's plans to participate In the coro
nation is said to be the result of the
adverse criticism that has come from
all parts of the country upon the un
official announcement of the proposed
visit. Many persons did not hesitate
to express their displeasure that the
daughter of the president of the Ameri
can republic by attending the corona
tion of a king, should give sanction to
such a form of government
It was learned last night that an
other reason why Miss Roosevelt will
not attend the coronation of King Ed
ward is because it has been found to
be practically impossible for her to go
simply as a young American girl trav
eling privately in the household of
Special Ambassador Reld. It ' was
learned that London court circles
were considering seriously the ques
tion of the status she would occupy
In all coronation functions. When
Miss Roosevelt's status became a mat
ter of international discussion the
president first considered tho advisa
bility of canceling the visit, but not
until it was found that an Invitation
to visit the Emperor and Empress of
Germany was on the way to America
waa It decided that in view of the ex
treme youth of Miss Roosevelt and
the International conditions as well as
courtesies she would be called on to
meet, the English visit and all its de
lights would have to be relinquished.
Miss Roosevelt Left For Cubs.
Washington, March 10. Miss Alice
Roosevelt, the- daughter of the presi
dent, with several friends, and accom
panied by a maid, left here last night
(or a visit to General and Mrs. Leon
ard Wood at Havana, going by rail
to Florida. Miss Roosevelt expects to
return to Washington the latter part
of the month.
