CANOVAS ASSASSINATED.
The Premier of Spain has fallen
by tho bullet of an Italian who is a
member of the powerful anarchist
bands who have kept the Govern
ment of Spain in a state, of fear for
several years. There have been
ontoroppings of this spirit, as the
murder of President Carnot of
Franoe, the attacks on General Cam
pos, and the bomb throwing in Bar
celona which display a terrible un
dercurrent of lawless attempts to
overcome what may bo a bad domes
tio situation, but such wrongs are
not righted by a resort to this sum
mary method. In Spain the activ
ity of this class has been a cause of
groat oonoern, and the number con
stituting it is largo. They have
taken advantage of the prevailing
want and plotted openly. This has
drawn to their cause thoso restless
agitators in other lands who desire
the overturning of all government
aud a return to a condition like that
of barbarous times.
Caiiovas has spout his life in op
posing these forces heneo his death
is the logical result of his stand for
order, lie was u muu of high cul
ture and learning, and his death has
inexpressibly shocked the whole
world.

tee of the time of holding the Repub

eral olTlees are to be tilled nnd the
organization should be made thor
ough. Xow rules will be presented
at the coining convention for the
government of the party, and the
representation from each township
should be full that they may be dis
cussed and such rules adopted as
will give satisfaction to nil sections.

26. there will he a lining up of the
friends of the several candidates, and
something like a reasonahle calcula
tion may he made as to tho results of
the next guhernatoriat campaign. Con
gressman W. A. Stone, of Allegheny,
Is looked upon In some quarters as the
selection of Senator Quay, hut lieu
tenants, of the Heaver leader here Bay
that he has not committed himself to
any candidate, and that, moreover, he
will wait until the situation develops
sufllelently to give him some light he
fure making a decision. Congressman
Connell Is, perhaps, the most aggres
sive of the candidate named, and he
Is looked upon as having some sort of
a promise from the political powers In
the Uepuhlican party.
Hunting; Will Not Oppcmo Quay,
Governor Hastings has trmde an un
equivocal declaration regarding his al
leged ambition to be Cnited States
senator. Having had his attention
called to a published statement to the
eflect that he would enter the Held
for Senator Quay's place next year, he
said: "I have no notion of being a
candidate for Vnlted States senator.
I have no plan beyond my present
ofllce." lie Is still at Ilellefonte, and
will remain there until Thursday, when
he will return to Harrishurg to meet
the capltol building commission, which
will determine this week the plans for
the new state house. It haa been sus
pected in political circles for Rome time
that the governor would be a candidate
for United States senator, but hla broad
declaration on this subject practically
takes him out of the Held unless sub
sequent events force htm to reconsider.
It Is very well known that the gover
nor was willing to retire from his pres
ent ofllce last winter In order to suc
ceed Senator Cameron, but the exigen
cies of politics made It necessary for
him to drop out of the contest. He was
never a candidate In the sense of light
ing for the place, but there were cir
cumstances which gave him reason to
believe that he would be the 1 holt e of
th l0lBlatura. Por . time It wnn un
derstood that Henator Penrose would
tetiie lu favor of the governor, but as
the campaign closed It became evident
that the plan was to make the Philadel
phia!! Senator Cameron's successor.
blnce the senatorial election in Jan
uary there has been no change In the
governor's mind icupectlng the United
StateB senate. lie has not entertained
any Idea that he would succeed Senator
Quay.' Some of his friends Have urged
him to make the fight next year, but
he is not disposed to become Involved
in any political contest during the re
mainder of his term of olllue. What he
may do after he has retired Is another
thing, but It is pretty definitely under
stood among those who are near the
governor that he will have no part in
any factional controversy. It Is not
doubted here that Senator Quay will
have opposition, but the governor will
not be the leader against him.
Thw New f iipltol Itiitldlngft.
The three expert architects selected
to make a recommendation regarding
the competitive plans and designs sub
mitted for the new capltol have finished
their work and filed with State
Treasurer Haywood, the secretary of
the capltol building commission, the
report of their examination. They rec
ommend eight plans In the order of
merit, and one of these will he chosen
by the commission at a meeting to he
held the latter part of this week. It is
understood that no plan submitted In
the competition will be made public
without the consent uf the author. No
persons except the three experts and
members of the commission have been
permitted to look at the idans. It will
probably be the first of September be
fore a contract for the new capltol
building will have been awarded. The
plans invited route mplate a group of
five buildings, but the legislature has
provided for only one of these at thia
time the legislative or main building.
The old executive and Internal affairs
buildings, flanking the site of the pro
posed legislative cluster, will in tuin
be re plumed by new buildings. These
contain many valuable records, and
they are not In any sense secure from
destruction by fire.
The buildings of the proposed group
are the legislative building, building
for the auditing, treasury and other de
partments and the supreme and su
perior courts, a building for the de
partment of agriculture and other de
partments and a historical building for
the historical and scientific collections
of the state, the adjutant general's and
other oil Ires and a public hall. Thu
proposed group must harmonise with
the pieMxtt executive building and the
Hartranft equestrian monument, which
will be elected In front of the main
building. The coTiunlssionei s desire
that a dome U? employed in the design
of the legislative building. As to this
building it is provded that there shall
be amte provision for halls, corridors,
stairways, etc.
There are to be three galleries In ea h
of the senate and house chambers - one
for .the piesj, one fur the public, and a
reserve gailery. Kach chamber Is
to have a public reception room. The
three departmental buildings aud the
historical building- are to cuHt alto
gethiT a turn not to exited fl,UOU,ooO.
The appropriation for the main build
ing is to.ouo. but when the art hltMi ts'
xpt-nts and other preliminary items
of tost t re deduc ted the actual amount
availui.le for building purpoues will be
about tuO !)yo Nobody seems to know
what material will be used in the con-.
truMtoiV, of the r,uw building. That
is a mallei whh-h will be determined
after the V-lan hi "been adopted.
Ktibh For the state Trcuary,
Auditor General Mylio and State
Treasnr'T Ilnywnnd did not pay out!
any money last week nn appropriation!
bills approved by the governor. Mnny
of the employes of the legislature and
other were anxious to get the money
due them, but the state's nccointln
olhcers, renlfring Gip dlftlculty In pre
paring warrants, and al! that sort of
thing, determined to postpone all Mils
for one week. Yesterday they hega.i
paying out the money, and there is a
rush at the ?tate treasury. Although
there were advances to employes of
the letriMlatute. there Is still a large
baiam-e due them, and the balance
In the general funds of the state treas
ury will be v ry much reduced before
the end of the week. State Treasurer
Hay wood denies that he has lost any
money through advance to members
of Investigating committees. He Is
fully protected In uny event, as no
money was paid nut without proper
warrant
In this connection It may be said that
the course of the governor In vetoing
bills mnMiig appropriations for Inves
tigating committee and in cutting out
items in the general appropriation hill
will have the eflect of stopping all ad
vance payments In the future. State
treasurer have been the victims of the
advance system of payments for many
years, and they will hall with muvh
satisfaction a change in this direction.
Kev. lr. Swallow, the Prohibition
candidate for state treasurer, continues
to assert with more or less emphasis
that the commonwealth was hornswog
Sled nut of several thousand dollars
In the fitting- up of Grace church for
the ue of the legislature. He con
lends that the bill of over $58. Of in for
this woik Is excessively extravagant,
tnd that, no matter if Governor Hast
ings has approved of H, the bill Is
wrong He charges duplication of lum
ber hills, and Insists that the whole
business hould have been Investigated.
A meeting of the Republican state
.vnuinlttee will be held here Aug. 25,
the day before the meeting of the state
convention. At that time the plans
of the campaign will be discussed.
There eeem to be no doubt that Hea
coni, of Westmoreland, for state treas
urer, and McCauley, of Chester, for
auditor general, will he the ticket.
There has been some talk of a resolu
tion to be offered in the convention In
dorsing Senator Quay for another term,
but some of the Heaver leader' friends
are opposed to forcing a tight on that
Issue so long before the election of a
United States senator.
The l.uw of lHf7.
At the state department the work of
preparing the new laws for publication
Is about ended, and the pamphlet laws
of 1897 will probably he issued in a few
days. These volumes do not vary much
in size from year to year, the difference
in the number of laws being generally
made up in the slue of some of them.
W. K. Verbcke. the aged controller of
this city, 1 a candidate fur the Demo
cratic nomination for auditor general.
Notwithstanding this Is a Republican
city, Mr. Verbeke has been repeatedly
elected to the position he now holds,
and his success at home ha encour
aged him to think that he may branch
out in a wider field. During the late
war he spent a fortune lu fitting out
troops, and this fact has done much to
keep him in ofllce.
During the last 10 day evidences of
prosperity have continued to accumu
late at the state department, where all
kinds of corporation are granted char
ters. Home large railroad concerns
have been Incorporated, aud many
manufacturing enterprises have taken
out letters patent. In one case the
capital stock of a furnace company in
Allegheny city was W.H&O.OUO. Under
the new law increasing the bonus on
charters, this company paid $ft,1fitf.n7.
Under the old law the bonus would
have been fl.&tiB.ftO. It will be seen from
these figures what an excellent rev
enue producer this law is.
Some important changes in the game
law were made by the late legislature,
and it would be well for hunters to
consult it. It is in effect a new act, and
changes the old law In many Important
particulars.
Major I.erl Wells, the state dairy and
food commissioner, authorizes the state
ment limt Frank N. Moore, special
agent of the department for Western
Pennsylvania, retired from that po
sition Aug. 1. Hie place is taken by
James Terry, of Rradford county. Ma
jor Wells says the force of deputies has
been considerably reduced, and that
a different method of ferreting out vio
lators of the oleomargarine law will
be adopted.
8. P. Stlllwell, of Scranton, has been
reappointed a member of the state fish
commission. He is president of the
commission and Is exceedingly active
In promoting the fishery Interests of the
state. He regrets the failure of the
legislature to make an appropriation
for the work of the commission during
the next two years, owing to a blunder,
but he think that means wllll be pro
vided for continuing the hatcheries and
preserving the stock of fish. A conven
tion of those interested In fish culture
and the propagation of game fish In
Pennsylvania will be held at the board
of trade rooms In this city on Wed
nesday, Sept. 15. This convention has
been called by the Joint action of the
fish associations of the state and Is fui
the purpose of raising the necessary
funds to carry on the work of the fish
commission.

The following is the interpreta
tion
1. Tho kid which was one of the
pure animals, denotes tho Hebrews.
The father, by whom it was pur
chased, in Jehovah, who represents
himself as sustaining this relation to
the Hebrew nation.
Tho two pieces of money signify
Moses and Aaron, through whoso
mediation the Hebrews were brought
out of Egypt.
2. Tho cat denotes tho Assyrians
by whom the ton tribe were carried
into captivity.
3 The dog is symbolical of the
13 tbyhmians.
i. The staff signifies the Ports i-
5. The fire indicates the Grecian
empire, under Alexander the Great.
6. Tho water betokens tho Roman
or the fourth of the greut monarch
ies, to whaso dominion the Jews
were subjected.
7. The ox is a symbol of the
Saracens, who &ubduod Palestine,
and brought it under the caliphate.
8. The butcher that killed tho ox
denotes the Crusaders by whom the
Holy Land was wrested out of the
hands of the Saracens.
9. Tho angel of do ith signifies
the Turkish power, by which the
land of Palestine was taken from the
Franks, aud to which it is still sub
ject. 10. Tho commencement of the
tenth stanza is designed to show
that Gd will tuke signal vengeance
on the Turks, immediately nttei
whose overthrow the Jews are to
