THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
The sudden death of Lord Panice
fote. after nil illness which was
known to bo serious hut which no
one thought would torminstn fatal
ly, has cast a shadow over official
and social life in Washington Which
is in marked contrast to the irayefy
which marked the ceremonies at
tendrtnt upon the unveiling of the
Rochambean statue Lord Paunce
fote died at 6 30 on Saturday morn
ing but no official intelligence of the
fact reached the White House until
after the unveiling. Nevertheless
there were many in attendance at
the dedicatory exercises who had
learned of the sudden death of the
ambassador and out of respect to
the deceased diplomat the reception,
which had been planned for Satur
day evening at the French embassy,
was not given.
Lord Pauncefote, G. C. B , O. C.
M. G., came to the United States as
the diplomatic representative of his
government in 1893 and the whole
course of his career as British am
bassador at Washington baa been
ft decided success. He with Secre
tary Olney drafted the generil ar
bitration treaty between the United
States and" Great Britain, which
treaty wns the forerunner of the
great work in the interest of peace
accomplished at the Hague conven
tion. His filial work, and the one
for which he will be best remem
bered, was the Hay-Paunoefote
treaty by which the United States
and Great Britain reached an amica
ble agreement in regard to the con
struction of an isthmian canal.
While representing a government
which receives credit for being most
aristocratic in its tendencies, Lord
Pauncetote was a very democratic
man and bad endeared himself to
the many in Washington with
whom he came in almost daily con
tact. There is some talk of adjourn
ing both houses of congress today
out of respect to the late ambassa
dor who "vas not only the ambassa
dor of Great Britain but dean of the
diplomatic corps. His successor ns
doan of the corps will be Herr von
Holleben, ambassador from Ger
many. The unveiling of the Rochainbeau
statue which took place on Satur
day was a great success. While
the marine hand played the national
air of France, the "Marseillaise,"
the Countess de Rochainbeau dre
the cord which lot fall the French
and American flags with which the
statue was draped and, ns the troops
of the two natious presented arms
the guns of the Fourth Battalion
boomed out the national salute on
the field back of the White Hous0.
(The address of Senator Lodge,
which was the feature of the un
veiling, was a beautiful and polished
oration such as was to have lwli
expected from the historian-states-man
of Massachusetts. In a few
words the president welcomed the
French guests and complimented
them on the appearance of their
marines. Ambassador Carubon ret
spondod, referring to the fact that
while the representatives ot the fair
republio for which he had tho hono
to speak and the personal represent
tatives of her president Were taking
part in this auspicious ceremony,
President Loubet himself was the
guest of the "Great While Father,"
the czar, and concluding oongratu
lutod the United States on the
friendly regard in which she is held
by all the nations of the earth.
While the Philippine debate' still
occupies the attention of the senate
tho monotony of the proceeding
has been somewhat varied by the
speeches of Senators Hoar and Bav
eridge. The address of the former,
while regarded by his colleague as
somewhat visionary and chimerical,
was a remai iatly eloquent produc
tion and held the cl.vvsf, atUnMoi
of his auditors for npwurdit of three

few years. Today, or tomorrow,
should the senate adjourn over to
day. Senator Patterson will again
speak on the Philippines. He will
probably be followed by Senaf. ns
Burrows, Stoonor, Bailey, Fettns
and Clay snd Senator Bacon has not
yet finished his speech so that there
seeirs to bo no hope that tho bill
will be disposed of this month.
As if to protract the already te
dious session of congress, there has
arisen a serious clash between the
senate and house over the army ap
propriation bill. When the senate
passed the bill it so amended it as to
make ic possible to ose a portion of
the sum appropriated for the con
st ruction of permanent barracks
and the house, jealous of its prerog
ative of initiating appropriations,
not only refused to oonour in the
amendment but Instructed Its con
ferees not to yield to the conferees
of the senate on this point and noti
fled the senate that it had dons so,
when asking for a conference. This
action the senators resent B9 thoy
say that all conferences must be
"fnll and free " Although the sen
ate has had the request of the house
for a conference nearly a week and
has several times discussed the in
strnctions of the house no aotiou
has yet been taken. What will be
the ultimate end no one can foretell
as members of both bodies declare
that they will not yield, but dead
lock over so important a measure as
the army appropriation bill cannot
continue and there is prospect that
much time will be wasted in the ef
fort to get together.
No really important legislation
has been enacted by the house since
the passage of naval appropriation
bill although a large amount of rou
tine business has been disposed of.
Friday the house devoted itself to
pension bills and the discussion of
some of the proposed measures was
the occasion of a sharp tilt between
Representatives Sulzer and Hull.
Representative Loud made an at
tack on the methods of the house iu
dealing with pensions, claiming that
laws sufficiently liberal should be
passed by congress, which body, he
olaimed, was unable to pass suoh
specific bills intelligently or to give
the merits of Individual oases the
full and thorough investigation
which they required to prevent
fraud.
Large Judgment Affirmed.
The supreme conrt has affirmed
the judgment for 115,788 rendered
in the case of Mrs. Strador in Mon
roe county for Injuries sustained by
beiug thrown from her bicycle over
the side of the bridge crossing
Brodhead's creek where there was
no proper gnard tall. The evidence
disclosed that a loose plank was the
primary cause of the accident and
that the absence of a proper guard
rail ac that point contributed to the
damage by allowing her to be pre
oipitated on the stones below where
her back wu broken. This verdict
emphasizes how important it is for
officials to be watchful lest by their
neglect they not only endanger the
safety of people but render the town
or county liable to damages. The
public has a right to demand
such protection and if its servants
are indifferent to its interests some
body may suffer severe injury and
the body politic besnbjocted to pay
ment of large damages. It is prob
able that this accident will cost the
county of Monroe in damages and
costs fully 120,000 and yet consider
ing the severe injury of the woman 1
the verdict was very moderate.

A Good Scheme.
The boarding house and hotel
keepers, assisted by the business
men of Stroudsburg and vicinity,
have hit on an excellent plan to
boom Monroe county ns a summer
resort, A ootnmittee has been ap
pointed which will undertake to ad
vertise the region and plioe its do-
9irability and attractions before the
oity public Cooperation in this
matter is very beneficial. Make the
beauties and salubrity of a place
known and seekers after summer
reoreation and health will be at
tracted and make investigation.
This will lead to inquiry for partic
ular houses whioh may suit their
inclinations. The first and greit
objaot is to advertise the locality
generally and if it meats with ap
proval the minor detail ot a precise
location for the individual is easy to
sitisfy. Tho plan adapted by the
Monroe oounty people is well calcu
lated to bring people to its confines
and to so set fo.-fi the general at
tractions of that section that they
will become widely known. Milford
might well pursae a similar method.
The cost to the Individual proprie
tor would probably be less and be
jffould be more thoroughly advertis
ed than when he attempts to only
make known his own place. The
sucoess of the trusts should teach
would-be summer resort towns to
emulate their example in combining
for the general good. Get 10,000
people bent on coming to Milford
for the season and the individual
proprietors need have no fear but
that thoy will get their full share of
patronage.

grunted in the estate of Valentine

, Women Vote In Large Number.
A wave of woman's rights struck
this section of the country recently
with a force that surprised the broad-
I est and most liberal minded politic;
ians. Never in the history of Cen
tral Illinois were so many women
seen at the polls and their concerted
action through club organizations
proved more successful than the most
sanguine expected. They went into
the school election with a dctermina
tion to w in and not only in Mutton
but in Paiia and other club towns
they turned out by hundreds ami
carried the day. Jt is a practical
demonstration of what, women can
do and their success last Saturday
will give them a stimulus and incen
tive to go further in the work of
reform, and no doubt they wil
accomplish much if they go at it as
they did then in a quiet, determined
and united manner. Almut 700
voted in this city for school directors
and the ticket backed hy the clubs
won out by a sweeping majority.
They did not loudly proclaim what
they intended to do but they agreed
to stand by a certain ticket which
they honestly believed was for the
best interests of the schools, and
quietly they worked, bringing about
a veritable landside. Another fea
ture worthy of mention is the fact
that not one penny pnssed hands to
the knowledge of the club women.
It was an absolute clean election, no
excitement, no indecent language and
no drunkenness. Neither by word or
action was there an affront or insult
offered by any man to one of the
hundreds of women who visited the
polling place to deposit a ballot. ,
GOO men and women passed and re
passed each other pleasantly and
respectfully and the presence of the
latter gave to the voting place an
atmosphere of refinement that could
no have been maintained without the
presence of those who demand respect
and will have it. Crushed Is the
theory that women can not vote
without surrendering their woman
liness, and crushed also is theory put
forth by gome that women are not
level headed enough and have not
the Judgement to vote Intelligently.

Improper TJ.e of Streets.
Plaoing lumber on streets or other
material which might occasion an
injury to persons traveling them
should be prohibited. There is no
excuse for this and there is no rea
son why the taxpayers should be
involuntarily placed In a position
where they may be subjected to the
payment of damages for injury re
ceived in such manner. The streets
are for unobstructed publio use find
not for private accommodation and
this fact shonld be impressed and
enforced even thongh it becomes
necessary to make an example of
some one not willing to regard the
rights of the pnblio.

The Strike Continue.
The prioa of coal is rapidly ad
vancing in the cities and in Phila

from (8 to (9 with every prospect of
an increase. The" supply is verv
limited and with the probability of
the strike continuing no one can
foresee the end. 25.000- miners
have already departed to seek work
elsewhere and the exodus promises
to be general. The strike if contin
ued will affeot many business inter
ests and entail great loss.
The coal trust, along with the
others, should be investigated and
if there is any law applicable to pre
vent suoh combinations whioh are
really an infringement on publio
rights and a detriment to publio in
terests thoy should be restrained
and forced to deal not only with
their employes but with consumers
