THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Kogulnr Correspondent.)
Wahihnciton. D. C . Aphii, 29, 1901.
President McKinley loft Washing
ton today on tho longest trip ovr
taken by a President, ol the United
.Staled. The total tlis'n nuo to lie
traveled by Juno 15. when the Pres
idential special is duo to return to
Washington, is 10,581 miles. Prosi
deiit IlnrriBon nearly made as long
a trip in 1891, when ho traveled
9,228 mitos. President McKinley,
-like President Harrison opposes
traveling on Sunday, except in cnses
of absolute necessity, nnd the speciiil
train will be sido-trnckcd every
Sunday during the trip, the schedule
giving the following in order named
as the Sunday stopping plicos : Bun
Antonio, Texas ; Del Monte and Ban
Francisco, Cal. ; Uikano, Wash. ;
Halt Lake City, Utah, nnd Chicago.
Four members of the cabinet. Sec
retaries Hay, Hitchcock an I Wilson
ar.d Postmaster General Smith, left
Washington with the President,
and Secretary Long, who has gone
to visit his dnughtorj in Colorado,
will join him before San Francisco
is reached. One car of the special
train is fitted out as the President's
ofTloe nnd the presence of Secretary
Cortelyon nnd several of the White
House corps of stenographers, will
make it as easy for the President to
transact executive business on the
train an he could in Washington.
But unless something unexpected
turns np, he doesn't expect to give
much time to business. There is no
need for him to do so, as there is
little likelihood of anything having
to be disposed of before his return
that cannot be bandied by the throe
members of tha cabinet, Secretaries
Root and Gage and Attorney Gen
eral Knox, loft in Washington. In
fact, the business of the government
is just now largely routine, both
domestic and outsido.
Mr. L. C. Willis, Mayor of Shel
byvllle, Ky., and a good republican,
who is now in Washington, thinks
the democrats of the state are re
covering from their attack of parti
san delirium. He said t "I think
that dayligh1! is coining for our
political difficulties in Kentucky,
and it will be a source of much
gratification to all of our people.
The acquittal of Capt. Ripley by the
Jury at Frankfort, the hotbed of
agitation ovtr the killing of Goebel,
is a sign that the court and jury are
determined to give the accused man
n fair trial. That is nil that any
body on either side can ask. This
notion probably forecasts the acquit
tal of most of the other suspects
who are yet to be tried. There is
one noticeable difference between
the recent trial and those which
were held last year. The Ripley
Jury were 'drawn out of the wheel,'
as provided in the Kentucky law
but last year Judge Cantnll, when
the panel was exhausted, directed
the bheriff to make up the jury. It
is pretty well understood what kind
of a jury a sheriff will get in such
cases."
Attorney General Kuox will en
deavor to obtain 1750,000 located in
several banks as belonging to Cap
tain O. M. Carter, who is now in
prison for defrauding the govern
ment in connection with the im
provement of the harbor at Savan
nah, Ga., of which he was in
charge.
The visit of the Cuban committee
to Washington has not only bon
pleasant but it has been productive
of much good. The doubts which
the Cubans said they and their fellow-members
of the constitutional
convention bad as to the construc
tion of that clause of the Piatt
amendment in which the right wns
reserved by this government to in
tervene whenever in its judgment it
might become necessary to preiorvo
order in Cuba, was all cleared away
by the explanations made by Presi
dent McKinley and Secretary Root,
nnd they now see the establishing
of naval coaliug stations lu Cuba by
the United States in a much more
favorabie light than they did when
the matter was discussed in the
convention. Those two clauses of
the Piatt amendment are the only
ones that were seriously opitosed by
the couventicn. Members of the
committee have said privately that
they would recommend to the con
vention when they return, which
will be at once, that the I'lutt
amendment be accepted, and have
expressed the pinion that the rec
ommendation will be favorably
acted njxju
Tho Cubans lid a great
d 'lil of talking about the general
desire of tho people of the Island to
obtain reductions in our tariff on
siunr nnd tobacco, even after they
wcro made to fully understand that
thr t'irilT was a question that only
congress could deal with President
McKinley, however, told them Hint
after the Cuban government bad
been oi ganized, be would be pleased
to appoint commissioners to nego
tiate with its representatives, n
commercial reciprocity treaty.
Secretary Hay held quite a recep
tion beforo ho left Washington.
Many of the most prominent mem
bers of the diplomatic corps intend
going to Europe this summer nnd
expect to bo gone before Secretary
Hay returns. Consequently they
called, not only to say goodbye nnd
express their good wishes, but to
incidentally put in a word on diplo
matic matters Secretary Hiy
stated that ho had secured the views
of a sufficient number of Senators
to justify the belief that a new
Isthmian canal treaty can bo nego
tiated with Great Britain that will
be ratified by the Somite. It is ex
pected that the now treaty will bo
ready by t lie, time Congress assem
bles. An Arrest for Murder.
Early last .Sunday morning a
rumor was itfloat on our streets that
a murder had been committed at
Pond Eddy nnd the facts were
awaited with considerable interest.
It has developed that one, James
Norton, who for some three weeks
has been working in a quarry near
that place, was wanted. Ho was a
gonial companion, more than or
dinarily intelligent, nnd won many
friends nm jug tho quarrymen. Last
Saturdny two New York detectives
arrived and, securing tho services
of Constable Bog-art, went to the
quarry where Norton worked.
There they talked with the foreman
nnd the man, noting their glances,
apparently became suspicious nnd
suddenly ns an opportunity present
ed took to the woods nnd nlthongh
pursued eluded his would-be captors
nnd escaped.
The detectives sent a telegram
to Constable Kelly to arrest and
hold a man named James Torpey,
alias Norton, alias Conway, nnd ac
cordingly Kelly arrested him at
Lackawaxcn Sunday night. It is
said Torpey years ngo resided nt
Lackawnxen and was a boatman ou
tho P. & H. cannl.
The alleged crime for which the
man is wanted is the murder of one,
Meyer Weisbard, whose dismember
ed body wns found off Now York
harbor last January.

THE PLAIN TRUTH.
A great deal has been written re
garding the decadence of the church,
and it has become the fashion to
charge the fuilure of the churches
to Increase their membership to the
tnnbillty of the clergy to maintain
interest in religions exercises. In n
recent address by the Rev. George
Edwnr'd Reed, president of Dickin
son Collogn, he recalled the fact that
in the npostolio days, to which the
critics of the church are so fond of
referring, there wns great force in
the power of the laity in matters
ecclesiastical. President Reed
thought he detected a tendency in
this ngo townrd vastly increased
activity in church matters on tho
pnrt nf the laymen. This leads to
the thought that bo has struck nt
the heart of the matter. While the
lnity have boon finding fault with
the clergy, the real difficulty has
been that the former have not ral
lied to the support of their chosen
leaders ns they have done in times
gone by. No clergyman can bo ef
ficient iti the pulpit without the
hearty, earnest, nnd nnreniitting
support of the congregation. It is
too often the fact that the apathy
of the congregation has more to do
with the decadence of a church than
the shortcomings of tho man in the
pulpit. Many a weak churoh has
been made strong by the leadership
of n powerful executive bond in the
congregation, nnd many a strong
church with a minister of ability in
the pulpit has failed because the
congregation was weakened by
worldliness or destroyed by dissen
sions. Leie'i Weekly.
No newspaper In the United
Status, nnd probably none in the
world, has ever included in its list
of editors a greater number of dis
tinguished men than the New York
Tribune, which has just celebrated
its sixtieth anniversary. Tha list
recalls some of the most eminent
Americans, and includes Bayard
Taylor, Horace Groeley, Charles A.
Dana, John Hay, Henry J. Ray
mond, Whitelnw Reld nnd George
W. Curtis. Great as was the
Tribune while Horace Greeley was
its presiding genius, covering a
period of nearly thirty years, it was
then not more influential nnd was
certainly far less profitable to its
owners than it bns been in later
years. For twenty-nine years it
has been under the editorship and
control of the Hon. Whttolaw Reid,
and he has givon to it a power, a
strength, and financial success far
beyond the expectations of even
Horace Greeley himself. The
Tribune occupies a field of Its own
in New York journalism. It is con
servative in all things, even in its
political views. Unfalteringly Re
publican, it deals justly and fairly
with every publio question, nnd is
hardly less sparing of offenders in
its own party than of those in the
ranks of the enemy. It in scholarly
in its edityirials, accurate in its
news, intelligent in its interpreta
tion of pub'ic opinion, and it there
fore runs on the most even keel of
any newspaper in the great metrop
olis. It is a tributo to the good
sense and discriminating judgment
of the reading publio that, while
the Tribune in the midst of all sorts
of rivnlry from cheap and sensation
al journals, has rigidly maintained
its price of three conts a copy, it
has CO: tinned to increase its circu
lation, to strengthen its influence,
and to add to its great success. It
would be unjust if the crodit for
this remarkakable achievement
were not given to Mr. Roid, to
whose painstaking care and journal,
istio genius the credit is solely due
Leslie's M'eekly.
It is said to be settled beyond

Port Jervis to Bushkill, and from

necessary to have a short through

that Benor Sixto Lopez Is going
homo to the Philippines, to join
Agtiinnldo in accepting American
sovereignty and in working for a
universal ncceptanco thereof by his

the knee to the invader, but Sixto
Lopez would remain faithful among
the faithless, nnd from tho exposed
nnd perilous outposts of Springfield
and the Back Bay would continue to
hurl documentary defiance nt the
foes of freedom.
And now he takes a trnin for the
Pacific Const, on his way home, nnd
stops off nt Springfield between trains

tion of tho sacred cause quite ns
one might hapiien in to remark cas
