WASHINGTON LETTER.
Nicaragua Canal Bill and Arbitra
tion Treaty.
Tlii W'mr l.nrtinpnt Hi-fuuM to Appoint
ft, Woinnil to the t'lrknhlp A
Ivtlllon to Snmtor I'f-ftVr
From Krtiixnil The
IM'lunnrr Spn
tomhlp. (Fromt)ur Regular ('orrrseomh'nt.)
Wahiiiniiton, Jnii., 25. If Jolm
liull is really behind IhatsetiNational
proto.il against Mm Nicaragua Canal
Hill, liindn to Secretary Olney by tho
MiniKter of the. Greater Republic of
Central America, and sent to the
Senate, by Secretary Olney, John
Hull lias made n break by allowing
his band toosoon. Of courrtu tho
protest, by showiiiLt tliat the gov
erntnent of Nicaragua already re
gards the Canal company as having
forfeited all tho concessions granted
it. by that government, will kill the
present Nicaragua Canal bill, but it
will also go much further. . It may
kill the arbitration troaty recently
negotiated between the United
States and (J rent Britain. It has
been openly charged on the floor of
the Senate that English diplomacy
was working through the combina
tion of those three little Central
American Kepublics to put England
in a position where it could cither
control or have a share in controlling
the Nicaragua ship canal. This may
or may not lo truo, but ho long ns
thero nro grounds for suspicion,
thero will be danger that the arbi
tration treaty will bo rej clod by tho
Senate. If there is one policy upon
which the Senate is practically a
unit, it is that tho Nicaragua. Canal
shall, if over completed, bo con
trolled by tho United States, and if
it bo shown that this question might
have to bo submitted to arbitration
wit h the casting vote, in tho hands
of a EuroiM-iin monarch, then good
bye to tho arbitration treaty. Tho
Sena tors who have openly protested
against tho publio clamor for imme
diate ratification of tho treaty, on
ground that it was too important a
matter to bo hurriedly acted upon,
regard this Nicaragua canal inci
dent as a vindication of their posi
tion. Secretary Olney, however,
doesn't t4ika that viow of it, and
would not have been so prompt in
send'lig that protest to the Semite
had bo supposed that it would cnuso
additional delay in acting on tho
treaty.
Some of bis colleagues nro inclined
to poke fun at Senator Poller bo
causo of tho petition from Kansas
populists against increasing tho
salaries of Senators and Representa
tives and extending the term of the
President, he lias presented since he
was defeated, and an ex-Confoderato
elected to bo his buceessor. There
isn't tho slighost probability that the
bill to increase tho salaries of Sena
tors and Representatives will even
be seriously considered, but Senator
Peffor is jocularly accused of holding
back those petitions until he knew
he would have to leave tho Senate.
The refusal to appoint a woman to
a vacant $1500 clerkship in tho War
department, for which sho had
passed a very difficult examination
and was the only one eligible, under
Civil Service rules, is likely to be
made the subject of a Congressional
investigation. Tho examination re
quired that the applicant should be
able to translate into English mili
tary works in French, German, Ita
lian and Spanish ; to do typewriting
in ull of those languages ; to do
proof-reading and prepare manu
script for the press, to be familiar
with library methods, cataloguing,
indexing, etc., also to be tested in
the uso of the English language and
literary composition. Miss Maud
Stalnaker, of Washington, D. C,
was the only one who was able to
pass the examination, but tho War
Department refuses to apjioint her
to the position because she is a
woman.
So much has boon written about
the hick of dignity on the part of
ex-Representative "Billy" Mason,
of Illinois, who was lust week named
by the legislature as Senator Pul
mer's successor, that his friends are
rightfully beginning to protest. Mr.
Mason is popular in Washington.
Ho is a num of fine instincts, and it
is merely his love for a good story
and a hearty laugh traits of Lin
coln that have caused him to be
culled undignified. One of the Illi
nois Representatives gives this
picture of him that will be at onoe
recognized by ull who know him
"Ho Is ono of tho rendiest gentle
men I ever knew to do n favor for a
friend. Troublo doesn't count with
Billy Mason when asked to render a
service by any ono who lias a claim
on bis good will. I have neon that
trait, of his nature exemplified a
hundred times. There,is A big
hoartodnoss and sunny disposiUon
about the man that attracts all who
aro thrown into bis company. He
will make a good Senator, oven if ho
does lack in conventionality and
owlish dignity."
Tho vacancy in tho Senate from
Delaware is going to cause ft fight at.
the present session. , Whether it
will bo ft threo cornered fight is yet
to bo settled. Tho Committoo on
Elections lias not reortod on the
petition of Col. Dupont to have his
application for the seat ro-oonod ;
tho credentials of Mr. Addicks, who
claims to havo boon elected by one
of the Delaware legislatures sitting
last week, havo already been pre
sented to the Senate and those of
Mr. Kenney, the silver democrat
who claims to have been elected by
tho other legislature will lie pre
minted this week, and presented, too
by Senator Gray, the Cleveland
Democrat.

GLEN 8IDE RETREAT."
A New ftntiltjtrlnm to lt Opened In Mil
ford the Coming Spring.
It is with pleasure we make the
alxive announcement, and are able
to say that at length our beautiful
town and salubrious surroundings
are to recoive a measure of projKtr
recognition. That Milford with its
life giving air, its pure water, its
quiet cleanly location and charming
environments should have been
overlooked so long os ft proper loca
tion for those seeking health, is one
of those things which can only be
explained as lielonging to the inert
ness and apathy of her inhabitants.
Prophets ore not without htmor sne
in their own country, and so our
famo having reached abroad a
stranger comes here to establish
what will no doubt prove a boon to
many, and a valuable acquiition to
our prosperity. This new enterprise
will be inouguratod by Dr. R. O.
Barckley, of Iionesibile who has
rented tho spacious and beautifully
lixtated house of Col. Lewis on Har
ford street, and will remove there
with his family, about April 1st.
Dr. Barckley was born in Philadel
phia and is a graduate of the Jeffer
son Medical College of that place.
He located at Honcsdalo ii 1891
where soon aftor ho married Miss
Kate Tracy ft neico of tho late Judge
Soely, and has sinco enjoyed an ex
cellent practice thero, but, on ac
count of its labor and inconvenience
ho desired a sphere whero his ener
gies might bo as fully employed
without the burden and exposure
incident to tho life of a general
practitioner. Ho will thorofore do.
veto his entire attention here to his
work at the Sanitarium, and will
not attend to nny local business. It
is his intention to open tho house for
the reception ot patients May 1st
and we Ixispoak for the "Glonside
Rotroat" undor the 'able manage
ment of Dr. Barckloy a prosiierous
and successful career. He could not
have selected anywhore a location
so admirably adapted and in all re
sjKicts completely suitd to tho pur
pose and objoct of his enterprise
than the one so wisely chosen.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.
The paper makers have been at
tempting to form a combination to
control the output but disagree
ments among themselves, prevented
its consummation.
Judge Scott of Northampton
county has filed an opinion in the
contested election case of Shifter vs.
Leh.,in which he holds that the
proper pluce for filing nominutions
for members of the House of Repre
sentatives in this State is in the

tains an nrtielo of interest, concern
ing the surviving daughters of
Jubez Rockwell, ft soldier of the
Revolutionary war, and who resided

Tha two sisters are Mrs. Catharine

is eighty-throe and the youngest is
eighty years of ago. A third sister,

States of a Revolutionary soldier.
Their father was Jabe, Rockwell,
whoso remains lio interred in a
grave in tho Methodist cemetery in
Ifonesdnle, and which on every
Decoration Day is decked with
flowers and wreaths. '
Jabez Rockwell participated in the
Buttle of Saratoga j was with Wash
ington a t Valley Forge ; was wounded
at Monmouth and witnessed the
final surrender of Cornwallis lit
Yorktown.
It is exlivmiely interesting to bear
the aged ladies x ak of old times in
this section. la 1S2I, when they
were quit ) youiif, they state that
their father m company with two
companions, Samuel Whitehead and
Joshua lluteinns, walked from Mil

There are rumors that representa
tives of this peculiar but respected
religious sect uro negotiating for the
purchase of an entire county in In
diana, where they may administer
their uffuirs in accordance with
their moral code.
This sect derives its name from a
German word meaning to dip, and
they are also called Tumblers from
their mode of baptism, which is by
putting the person while kneeling
head first under wuter, so that the
motion resembles tho act of tum
bling. They refuse to take oaths, to
bear urms or to go to law. They
celebrate the Lord's Supier with
love feasts, washing of toot and the
kiss of charity. Their religious con
victions are strong, and tho purpose
of seiHiruting themselves under a
government of their own may not
be wrong- in itself, but one of the
fundamental principals of our Re
public is that no political division
within its borders shall come under
the exclusive control of any distinc
tive religious sect. The Dunkors
are scattered over several states and
have 60,000 communicants and 500
churches.
A SUFFERING TRAMP.
For Nine Ihtye He Nuhltn on Pare Air And
Slrpt In flnrn.
John H. MoCarty, who lives at
Ruymondskill, on men down to what
is known a the Howell place last
Sunday to hxik after some things
about the lmrn, and while in it
heard a slight noiso in the basement.
Going down there he found a man
nearly deatl from cold and exiosure
lying in somo straw. The story of
tho tramp is that he, in company
with throe others, was in Milford
over a week ago and were eared for
by L. Goiger, ovorsoor of Milford,
that they started down the river,
and he feeling a sovoro pain in his
leg and side when near the Howell
plaee thought the bam would bo a
good place in which to rest and
went there. Ho grew worse and
was unable to got out, and the barn
being at some distance from the
road and unfrequented, he waa un-
ablo to call for assistance. He
claimed that ho had been there nine
days without fxxl or water and was
in a very weak and helpless condi
tion when found.
Word was conveyed to tho over
seer of the ptxir of that township but
he declined to render any aid and
the man was taken to Sohanno's
Hotel whore ho was made comforta
ble, and received such humane at
tention as they could render. Sub
sequently an order was procured
i rem mo proper authorities and tho
man was placed in charge of one of
the overseers of tho poor of Ding
man township.

Newspaper Amenities.
The Monticello correspondent of
the Gazette touches up that versatile
gentleman "H. L. " in this happy
style :
I desire to add my testimony as to
H. LV superlative ability as a
newspaper correspondent, and the
faithfulness with which he has for
years catered to the news devouring
patrons of The Gazette. I have read
many of his letters and I never read
one that did not interest me. In
Pennsylvania and New Jersey and
in Orange county and Eastern
houthern and Western Sullivan,
The Gazette hirs many superior cor
respondents, but I think none of
them need lie a.sliamed to do homage
to "H. L." the chief star in the re
portorial heavens. Long may he
shine.
To this the Press cheerfully adds
its commendation and while its
praise mny not carry the same
weight as that of a veteran news
pa per yet we may candidly say that
"H. L." would be an invaluable aid
to an infant in the business, like the
Press.
