I At KElITER'S. THE AMERICAN PROTECTIVES President Traynor Giyes an Idea as to the Order's Objects. A MENACE TO CORRUPT PARTIES. The Power of the American Frotectlve As sociation, Says Its President, Lies in the Fact That it Is Allied With no Political Party. Washington, liny IB. Tho most note worthy foaturo of yoitordny'a sosslon of tho Amorlcan Protective association was tho Innovation made by giving to tho pub lic the annual address of Presldont W. J. II. Traynor. Whllo somo parts of tho document word erased by n Bpeclal com mlttoo, tho body of It gives moro nutbon Mo Information upbn tho purposes1 of tho order than has over before boon made pub llo upon nuthorlty. Presldont Traynor deals at groat longth with tho political phases of tho A. P. A Ha says : "Tho Amorlcan Protcctlvo association is today a recognized factor In American pol Hies, whoso favor Is openly courted by po litical loudbrs, organizers and postulants for public office, who a year or two ago Ig nored or denounced It." Ho warns tho ordor against elovonth hour converts, nnd says: "Tho A. P. A. Is a standing monaco to tho perpetuity of ovory party, being com posed, as It is, of tho members of ovory party. So lorn as It remains unmoved by tho threats, unyielding to tho pressure of party machine), It will bo hated but re spected by overy party which darus not In corporate tho platform of tho order in its own. Tho great majority of our ordor havo wnltod patiently during tho past year for somo slgu from ono or tho othor of tho political parties that It has recolvcd n chango of heart that it Is honest enough to publicly express. "There are a few Republicans, such ns Linton of .Michigan, Gearof Iowa, Bradley of Kentucky and Stone of Missouri, who havo boon fearless In their endorsement of our principle and whilo it may bo fortu nato that they are Republicans, It Is moro thun unfortuuato that they nro not either tho Republican party or representatives of that body, and tho question should be asked and answered hero and now that while tho A. P. A'ism of these men Is tol erated by tho party for tho A. P. A. votos which each of them carries behind him, what assurnnco havo wu that this tolera tion will not ccaso tho moment tho votos havo been delivered?" Tho president expresses regrot that tho A. P. A. lias In somo states been used by party machines. Ho discourages any at tempt to sccuro tho nomination of a mem ber of tho ordor for tho presidency by either party. Reforrlng to tho advisory board, which created a sensation by its attack upon Mc KInley, ho says: "A sourco of prospectlvo danger Is tho natloual advisory board as It Is at present constructed. In Its present form It Is in dnnger at any tlmo of coming into violent collision with thosupremoexocutlvo board, which Is tho supremo council out of sos slon, nnd undoubtedly the superior of all other boards. At present It recognizes no suporlor but tho supremo council in so- slon, and may pursuo ono policy, whllo tho supromo president nnd his cabiuot pursuo one ontlrely opposed to It. Presl dont Trnynor suggotts that tho powors of tho bonru bo specifically namou. "A wnll meaning, and by no means un important section of tho ordor has nrlson, which advocates peace with tho priest and his subjects and harmony between them nnd tho mombors of tho order. Somo would oven go so far as to nogotlato with thom politically, than which nothing could bo moro dangerous to tho porpo tuity of tho association. Others go so far as to tako the position that a member of tho order possosses the right to determine for himself tho question of tho loyalty or disloyalty of any papist postulant for or- llco, nnd reserves to hlni'-eii tno rignc to porsuado othors to voto lor sam papist. Such a contention is not only absolutely untonablo, but highly dongorous. Tho candidato voluntnrlly renounces the right of prlvatojudgment In this cssontlal when ho becomes a mombor of tho order."

Tho McKlnley leaders who hnvo roeontly visited Now York In such largo numbers had another object In view, says Tho Herald, besides tho checking of tho growing demand for :v posltlvo declaration from McKlnley on tho money question.

Lost Track of the Tribe and Walked All the Way to Pottsvillo via a Danger ous Route Police Roturned Them Home To-day. Fivo small boys occasioned moro excite ment in town last night than a high priced benevolent theatrical company, or an old fashloned circus could ntlto in a week. They left tliclr homes early yesterday morning and failed to report for meals of anything else. Tho boys were James Gibson, aged 8 years, residing on North Whlto street ; Joseph Yuslnskl, lOyearsand residingon Usist Lloyd street; John Uavis, of Wost Huckleberry alloy, aged 13 years; and Alex, and Joe Janjuck, aged respectively S and 7 years and residing on West Huckleberry alley. Tho general excucnicnt was occasioned at about half past eight o'clock in the night, when tho absence of tho boys became known and a supposition on tho rart of Somo pcoplo that tho boys nud been drowned in ono of the reservoirs on tho mountain gained cir culation as a fact. One report was to tho effect that tho boys had been drowned iu the small reservoir at tho nurth end of Main street from which tho sprinklers get their supply ; another report designated tho small dam on tho mountain used by tho Kohley Itun colliery, and a third fixed a reservoir at thoendofouo of tho Indian Itidge colliery rock banks ns the place of drowning. Several members of tho Itescuc Hook & Lad der Company spent two hours in fishing in tho two first named reservoirs with grap pling honks and in making a search of tho surroundings, but at ten o'clock returned to town with tho report that fio boys could havo been drowned In tho places. It was unnec essary to drag the other place, as employoi of tho colliery were confident that no boys had visited tho reservoir yesterday. Almost everybody seemed nonplused until attention was called to the fact that a band of gypsies that had been camped on Locust Mountain moved towards Mahanoy City yesterday morning. Charles T. Gibson, father of ouoof tho missing boys, also allayed fears with his statement that ids buy, with others, followed a funeral to Pottsvillo about year ago and returned the next day, through tho courtesy of tho police force of that town. Young Gibson, by the way, comes in fur most of tho blame for tho excitement' created, lie is a brother of "Hilly" Gibson. who figures bo prominently in Pottsvillo pugilistic circles, and evidently partakes of the same untamed disposition. Tho mother of tho Janjuck boys was ono of tho most distressed parents, and her hus band almost suli'ered equally. They woro willing to sacrifice almost anything to recover their children and their anguish aroused general sympathy. Somebody circulated the lepoit that the boys had been teen early in the day with tho gypsies on the mountain. Janjuck sought the aid uf Justice Curdin and he gavo a warrant to Constable liolin with instructions to follow the gypsies and see if they liad the children. I elephone communi cation led to tho information that tho gypsies who left Locust Mountain yester day passed through Mahanoy City yesterday and a baud of gypsies had pitched tents at Frackvillo. L'pon receiving this information Mr. Janjuck hired a wagon nnd team at O'Hara'a livery stnblo and, ac companied by Constable liolin and two re porters, drove to tho gypsy camp. It is located near the, head of the grado. The tribe is a- largo and apparently well-to-do ono of English extraction and boasts of tho ownership of fourteen head of horses. It was after una o'clock this morning when tho posso arrived at tho camp. Tho night was dark and only the barking of tho dogs af forded guidance to tho tents and wagons. It Was witli difficulty that the visiters kept boyoud tho limits of tho dog chain. The dogs wero almost as numerous as tho trees of tho grove. Gypsies aro not like tho Indians and Indian hunters wo read about in "Al Always Hit" and such border tales. Tho Pennsylvania "gyp" sleeps' Hko tho majority of tho human race; with both eyes and ears closed. Oinstnblo liolin is as hoarse as a colt Iu couscqucncu of the lialllng ho was obliged to resort to. After many protestations and expressions of Indig nation tho camp was thoroughly searched, but lip trace of tho boys could bo found, A trip was then mado to Mahanoy City, but it was likewise fruitless and the party returned to town tired ami disappointed. The live boys reached Pottsvillo late last night, having walked nil tho way from Shenandoah and walked through the long railway tunnel ut at. Clair en route. Tho police scooped them ill and this morning O, & I. Policeman Danicll and John Higgius brought the beys back to town and delivered them to thoir respective pureuts.
