REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET FOR CONOR ESS, DR E. W. SAMUELS, of Mt. Carine RUSSIAN CRUISBkS IN CHINESE PORTS PARIS, Aug. 24. —There is reason to believe that a decision is about to be taken providing tor the voluntary disarmament of the Russian cruiser Atikold and the torpedo boat destroyer Grozovoi, now at Shanghai and the Russian cruiser Diana at Saigon. This will be done primarily to avoid international complications and will have the effeot of reducing the Rus sian strength by three strong units, but the Russian authorities consider that this will be offset by the avoid ance of the passible capture of the ves sels named by the Japanese. Advices received here from Saigon show contrary to previous announct - uients, that the Diana is in a very bad condition. She had one large hole in her hull below the water line. Her injaries will take weeks to repair. This would have permitted an exten sion of her sojourn in a neutral port beyond the twenty-four hours which expired yesterday, but it is foreseen that the repairs would entail such stay at Saigon that it is possible that questious affecting the neutrality of the port would be likely to arise, and therefore Russia is disposed to disarm the Diana, which thereafter will re main at Saigon during the war. The tioal determination m the mat ter has not yet been taken but the tendenoies are strongly as indicated. If ia expected that the action to be taken at Shanghai and Saigon will re lieve the cases of international sig nificance and practically close them RUSSIA MUST IGNORE CHINA ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 24, 8:30 a ni.—The Vovosti today says : "Con tinned violation of neutrality laws in the Chinese ports by the Japanese will compel us to regard the Chinese em pire or at least part thereof as being within the sphere of active hostilities. "China lacks either the power or the inclination to present Japanese in cursion. The warships of neutral pow ers idly watch these violations. There fore the agreement as to China's neu trality, made at the beginning of the war, becomes a dead letter and Russia must ignore it in self defence." SEBASTOPOL WAS BADLY DAMAGED CHE FOO, Aug. 24. 2:30 p. m.— Information of undoubtable authen ticity states that the Japanese armor ed cruisers Nasshin and Kasuga have bombarded and silenced the Russian forts east of Golden Hill at the en trauoe of Port Arthur. The forts referred to are probably the samo or very close to Forts Taip augtze and Chaochauko, mentioned these despatches yesterday and today. WASHINGTON HEARS OF SEBASTOPOL WASHINGTON, Aug. 21—The Jap auete legation has received the follow ing cablegram from Tokio: "Accord ing to the report of the Commander oi the torpedo boat destroyer Asusio, the Russian battleship Sebastopol, while bombarding the Japanese position on laud from outside the harbor on tin 23rd struck a mine and inclined con siderably to starboard with bow sub merged.

OT, Mi IIIOT Republicans Preparing For Aggres sive Movement All Along Line. I : THE LIST OF ORATORS MADE UP 1 Chairman Penrose and Secretary An drews Have the Plan of Campaign Well Defined and Predict a Big Victory. 1 Special Correspondence. I Philadelphia. Aug. 23.— The Republi can campaign In Pennsylvania has been formally opened, and it is predicted that the Keystone stale will, when the votes shall l» counted in November, continue to lead the column of Repub lican stat< of the union by the size of her Republican majority. Work at headquarters of the Repub lican stati committee in this city has been under way for a week, and very satisfactory progress has been made. In the absence of Senator lloies Pen ros< the chairman. Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, secretary of the state com mute! . l a been in charge, and he ex pects to have all the preliminaries of the canvass disposed of before the chairman shall return. There has been a va ■ amount of correspondence al ready with the chairmen of the county committ • and other active Republi cans throughout the state, and reports received from various quarters indicate that th" Republicans of this state are taking a vi ry lively interest in the coming "lection, and that they will continue to do so until the polls are dosed on election day. Hundreds of well-known Republicans from the interior of the state and from the several wards of this city have called at the state headquarters and volunteered their services for campaign ' work. Many young men who have rot ' heretofore taken a hand in politics | have asked to be enrolled for organi ! zation purposes, and a long list of ora- I tors has been made up for Chairman i Penr isi to call upon when occasion j shall require that they he dispatched to dltl'ep i< : parts of the state to address ' mass meetings. There are a thousand and one things ( to be put into shape before the active i outdoor campaigning shall be inaugu rated. and it is this work that is en gaging th .Mention of Secretary An i drews. who, with a score of stenogra phers, is busy until late every evening at the headquarters on Locust street, above Broad. This building is admittedly the nest equipped and most desirable headquar -1 ters of any political organization in the | country. The property has been leased by the Republican organization of Pennsylvania for a number of years, j and It is admirably suited for the pur poses for which it is being used. Since the last campaign the building has been thoroughly renovated and made more attractive in many ways. Chairman Penrose and Secretary An drews have adjoining offices on the second floor, each with an outlook on Locust street. Chairman Penrose and Secretary An drews had several conferences before the senator departed on his vacation, and the plans for the campaign were fully mapped out. Senator Penrose has just written home that he expects to be back in this city by September 1. He is having an enjoyable time riding on horseback in the wilds of Wyoming and Idaho, and will without doubt re turn in splendid health to take up the work of the chairmanship of the state committer' and press the campaign vig orously during the last eight weeks of the contest. A meeting of the Republican state committee will be held on or about September 12. at which nominations will be made to fill vacancies on the presidential electoral ticket. Some of I those who were nominated for these honors by the Republican state con j vention have been found to be ineli | gible for tin position by reason of the fa'f that they are connected with na tional banks They must either resign : their positions in these financial in- I stitutions or get off the ticket. Some j will retire from the ticket, while othiis j have expn d a determination to J temporarily withdraw from their con | nectlon with national hanks so that j they may have an opportunity to vote | in the elee oral college for Roosevelt I and Fairbarks. I The meeting of the state committee | will afford Chairman Penrose an oppor tunity to personally confer with the active men from the different counties and to have them report as to rtie con dition of the party organization in their respective districts. There have been many calls for lit erature bearing upon the present cam paign. anil as soon as the national committee shall be in a position to meet this demand a supply will be got ten for di trihution directly from the state headquarters in this city. The speech of Chairman Cannon, of the Republican national convention, and copies of the national platform are among the documents for which the great -t numb' r of requests have been received It is not intended that the speech making part of the campaign shall be Inaugurated before the middle of Sep tember At present there are so many person away on their vacation trips that it would not be wise to hold polit ical meetings at this time. There will |be amp!' opportunity during the •n of September arid October to hold all the mi eiings that shall be nec essary to rally Republicans of the old Key-tone tate about their party stand ard for the victory which Is assured iu Novembet te-^t.

Among the nominees for the senate and the house who havi en plai din the field already are many new candi dates, and there is considerable pec ulation regarding the outcome of the contests in several districts.

Senator Penrose, as chairman "i the Republican state committee will uive personal attention to this pha ■' of the campaign, and he will have the hearty co-operation of every loyal member of the Republican organization through out the state. The fight for the election of these candidates will be made upon clean ■ at lines, and will be aggressive from the start.

G. lirowu. Tin Brown building, higher than the n st, with its successive tligtits of wooden stairs on the rear was in great peril,hot the entiro building was kept drenched with water, Mr. Brown liim !! playing on tlie lower stories with a garden hose, and Mr. Leister, who (eenpies tlie flat, with bis family, keeping the upper stories drenched by means of a larger hose attached in the house. By this time a thousand people liad assembled at the fire. It was a moment of great suspense. Immense volumes of smoke raining fire brands down in to Mill street poured over the roofs of the Brown, the Ainmerman and the Pursel buildings. Houses on the east side of Mill street, even were in danger and several of these were kept drench el with water by their owners. All this while only a slight wind was blowing and no one could help but picture tlie fiightful results should the wind increase or should the fire have occurred during dry weather iustoad of just following a rain, as on Satur day, when everything was damp. Such was the state ot affairs when the firemen began to play upon the row of burning buildings. The efforts of the fire fighters were watched with the utmost anxiety by the many fauii- Ii s wlio.se premises extended to the very threshold of the burning build ings. As usual, however, the work of the firemen was effective. Several streams of water were soon playing upon the fire audit was uot loug until rlie great blaze which lit up the heav ens began to subside. Each of the barns was roofed with tin. which to some extent may have interfered with the best efforts ot the firemen. But the first thing done was to check the spreading of the fire. It was impossi ble to save either the Ammermsn or the Pursel barns; Sunday where these bad stood was to be seen only a heap of blackened debris; the building on Mr. Woods' property is about half burned but will be a total loss. New weatherboardiog on the east end and a new roof for a portion of the large carriage house belonging to C. O. Mover, will testore that buildng as good as new. Mr. Ainmerman Saturday night stat ed that h has reason to believe that the lire was the work of an incendiary, lie returned home from the farm early in the evening; ho stabled the horse himself, fed him and closed the barn and lie is confident that everything was right. A valuable cow. for which Mr. Arn nierman said be would not have taken fifty dollars, was burned with the I irn The horse rescued and taken out though the insurance office bad to be killed,as its injuries were found to be of such a nature as to preclude all hope of recovery. An old buggy was lulled out of the barn iwirtly burned, but a good spring wagon and a new buggy, which were further, in the building, were consumed by the fire. In addition to the large quantity of hay some twenty bushels of oats and other feed were burned. Mr. Amuiermau had only asniall in-j urance on his barn aud his loss will b" quite heavy. The Pursel barn itself was partially insured, as was al -o the barn on the Woods' property. Liveryman Moyer carried no insur ance. Milton Ammerman and sister, Miss Maggie along with some city were camping out over on the farm iti(l had with them one* of the horses ami the barouche,otherwise in all pro li tbility the two latter would have been burned also.
