CURRENT EVENTS.

Another dull week has passed so far

as war news is concerned. The latest

from the front is that both armies areentrenching themselves along the Yalu ?

the Japanese on the east bank, and the

Russians on the west?the lines extend-ing from the coast to ten miles abovethe town of Wiju, or thirty miles in all.The flanking movements of the Japshave not yet developed. When these

two armies come together the worldwill probably see its greatest slaughter

ofhumanity. A cablegram the otherday stated that, the battleship Petro-pavloysk carried $12,000,000 in moneyin her safes when she went to the bot-

tom of the sea, which, if true, is anoth-

er instance of the recklessness and stu-pidity the Russians have shown on thewater.

The war with Japan is roueing Rus-sia to the execution of a great publicwore long planned but long neglected?-that is, the canal that is to connect the

Black sea with the Baltic. At the

present moment the need of such a

cmml is obvious. In this one year of

storm and stress it might well be worth

more than its entire cost; for with such

a waterway open Russia could snap herfingers at the prohibition at the Dar-danelles. Her Black Sea fleet couldmake its exit into the Baltic, and thus

be available for service in the Far East,instead of lying idle in this hour of ur-gent need.

The war in Colorado, following the

strike by the Western Federation of

p| Miners is not the only strike-war goiDg

on in the world. One of the most ex-tensive strikes that ever happened hasoccurred and is now proceeding on the

railroads of Hungary with the resultthat the business of that country is com-pletely demoralized, that tons of pro-visions have gone to waste, and that insome communities the spectre of fam-ine is in sight. To the railroad systemalone the loss is computed at SBOO,OOO

daily, while the indirect loss to the pub-

lic is far in excess of that sum. Thegovernment is making strenuous effortsto arrange some kind of settlement, butat last reports it bad not been able tocome to terms with the strikers, andthe issue of the struggle remains un-certain. It is a distinctive feature ofthe conflict, and one which aggravatesits gravity, that in Hungary all rail-roads are owned and operated by theState, so that the disturbance may

easily acquire a political as well as aneconomic significance

The approaching presidential electionhas had no effect on the money market,

and during the past few weeks the rail-roads of the country have borrowed$300,000,000 on one-and-two-year notes.This is interesting as showing where theconfidence of the public lies. Munici-pal bonds are low and with all theplethora of money there is hesitancy

such as always exists when boom timesp*' l "" have passed. Now the situation is that

there is money enough for legitimatechannels. There is hesitation in thespeculative world and there seems nopresent prospect of a change Railway

earnings are not quite up to last year.The earnings of industrials are not attop notch, yet the condition of things isgood because the liquidation apparentlyhas passed and there is BO fear of thefutnre. The coming months bid fair tobe quiet, but there is no reason forpessimism except in the realm of spec-ulation. Bank exchanges are good,audand the complaint is only in spots andespecially from those who want to getrich quick.

Daring the past few days a lot moreof politicalspeeches that will not change? vote in the country have been letloose in the House at Washington. Con-gress is well up with its work and themembers must have their fun. TheSenate discussed and passed the Sun-dry Civilbill and agreed to $137,000,000for pensions. The House considered

pi .the General Deficiency bill. There nowremain for the Senate to tackle but theGeneral Deficiency and the MilitaryAcademy bills and then the appropria-tion measures will be wound up. Notall of them have gone to the Presidentfor his signature, for there have beensome differences which must be sett'edin conference committees, but the mostof the work is done and there will belittle new legislation to bother about,The Smoot inquiry was opened up

again and developed along the line, ofthe connection of the Mormon Churchwith politics. The great point is todiscover whether a man can be a Mor~mon and at the same time be a goodcitizen of the, United States?whetherhis obligations to Morraonism do notoutweigh his obligators to his country.There will be no report to the Senatefrom the investigating committee atthis session. The subject is altogethertoo deep and important a one to bedealt with hastily. There must be asearching inquiry if we are to get atthe bottom of things, acid that inquiryis likely to be had.

The New Fever.

Pittsburg is enjoying the expectedvisitation of the fever. The number ofcases counted last Thursday was 11,-800, and probably thrice that numberof people afflicted with it were unableto publicly exhibit the symptoms. Noprecautions whatever have been takento prevent a spread of the regular epi-demic. In fact, all modern deyiceshave been used to inoculate as many as

| P possible. The victims were given asuperb outing at the ball park, and nbaseball game, the first of the season onthe local diamond, delighted themgreatly. Pittsburg won, as in the firetgame at Cincinnati, again being pittedagainst the Red Stockings, by the Su-preme Court score of 5 to 4. Theweather smiled propitiously upon thefever-stricken ones, and the mild chillacted only as a tonic. No measureswill be taken to check the epidemic, 'and it is surmised it will increase in ;virulence until in the fall it runs itscourse. No hope is entertained,however, of permanently eradicatingthe germs.?Dispatch.

The Smoot case was reopened by theSenate Committee on Elections, lastThursday, and Brighaui Roberts wascalled npon to testify. He told of histhree wives, bnt was very retricent re-

garding his Endowment Uonse obliga-

tions. A. M. Cannon has six wives andnineteen children, and his belief in theMormon church is unalterable. It

dominates in both Utah and Idaho.On Friday the House refused to ac-

cept the Senate's amendments to theRiver and Harbor bill, and it wasthought the bill would die in commit-tee.

The House rejected the elaborate plan

of government adopted by the Senatefor the Panama canal zone, substitut-ing for it the second section of the actof 1803, of which Thomas Jefferson was

the author, for the government of theterritory acquired by the "Louisianapurchase. ' This section provides thatthe national authority "shall be exer-cised in such manner as the Presidentof the United States shall direct for thegovernment of said territory and formaintaining and protecting the inhabit-ants thereof in the free enjoyment oftheir liberty, property and religion."

All the papers for the Panama canalwere signed in Paris, Friday, and thetitle is now in the United States.

Adjudged a Fraud.

The United States postoffice authori-ties have issued an order declaring thePreferred Mercantile company, of Bos-ton, a fraudulent concern and forbid-ding it the use of the mails. Postmast-

ters throughout the county were notified

to return to the senders all money orders

and letters addressed to the companyand in case the senders were not to beascertained from the outside of the en-

velope to forward such to the dead let-

ter office, all mails so intercepted to bestamped "fraudulent."I The Preferred Mercantile Company

has an office in Pittsburg establishedlast October. Its representative there isArthur K. Sykes, who is called the"state representative" and had an office

at 828 Park building. He has beendoing a large business for his companysince he came here and said yesterdaythat there are now probably 500 or 600patrons of the company's scheme inPittsburg and Allegheny.

The company claims to be a species

of insurance concern which gives an in-stallment lease on a two-carat diamond.

It is run on the same plan as the "end-less chain" home buying concerns. Thelease "matures," if it lives its full time,

when sllO have been paid in to ttecompany in weekly installments of $1each, whereupon the holder of same isentitled to the diamond, valued at S2OOor to $l6O in cash, but does not get itunless there is enough money in thecompany's redemption fund to paysame together with all outstanding

leases which antedate it.?Leader.

WAR NOTFS.

On Thursday last a number of Jap-anese ships appeared off the coast ofManchuria, to the west of the month ofthe Yalu, and it is supposed that theJaps intend landing an army along thatcoast.

On Friday a Russian launch andtwenty-one men in Port Arthur road-stead were blown up by one of theirown mines.

On Saturday it was reported that theJaps were landing at Kin Chaw, to theeast of Port Arthur.?'l've been a-readin war news,"

Said the man with haggard eyes,"Or what is cabled for news,

Till from every side ariseMnrmnred names that come a-clanging

In a constant, fierce refrain,Full of much syllabic banging?

The Japanese Soldiers' Stations.

The other day I spoke of rice anddried fish being the uniform food of theJapanese army in campaigning times.This is the way in which the rice iscooked. It is boiled until quite thickand glntinoas. Next it is placed on aceramic slab, rolled out and cut intosquares. The squares are then placedin the sun to dry and often turnedWhen hard as sea biscuit and greatlyredaced in weight they can be storedA certian number are allowed each dayto the soldier. All he has to do is tobreak up a square in boiling water andto add the dried fish. In a few min-utes he has what seeius to him a deli-cious thick soup. Ifhe cannot procureboiling water he simply eats his rice-cake dry. In the fruit sdason he subti-tutes fruit when he can obtain it forthe fish. The Japanese soldier, M.Pichon tells me. has junscels like whip-cord. is a sure shot, has an eye for land-marks and a memory for locality. Hecan do whith three hours' sleep out ofthe twenty- four, is clcauly, atteds tosanitary instructions, is ardently patri-otic, holds his life cheap and runs uphills like a goat. He costs the stateabout 4ic. a day and thinks himselfwell off.?London Truth.

A Joke on Butler.

Representative Butler, of Pennsyl-vania. tried to pass through the House,on Monday, a bill which had alreadybecome a law. The bill was one inwhich Mr. Butler told the Honso hetook a deep personal interest. Consentto have the measure considered beinggiven, Mr. Butler sent it to the clerk'sdesk. When the clerk had read twopages Speaker Cannon, who had beenlistening drowsily, suddenly woke up.There was a rustling of papers on theSpeaker's desk, a hurried consultationwith one of the clerks, and then a smartrap of the Speaker's pavel.

"For the benefit of the gentlemenfrom Pennsylvania, ' said the Speaker,"I will intorm him that the bill nowbeing read by the clerk passed this bodyon the loth of the present month andhas also passed the Senate."

Mr. Butler was at first speechless withastonishment. Then he arose and apolo-gized to the Speaker and also to theHouse while the members roared withlaughter.

Has A Subtitiitc For iCnbbcr.

A successful and practical substitutefor rubber is the latent discovery thatthreatens to revolutionize one of the'world's famous industries. Frank P.Bennett, of Evans City, together withhis brother, H. E. Bennett, have per-fected a process whereby rubber in allits forma can be made from an altogeth-er, heretofore, unknown source. Thisis something that is not now in an ex-perimental state but has been perfectedand found entirely practicable. Thegroat commercial value of this secretwill be faintly comprehended when it istold that the Bennett brothers have al-ready been offered $500,000.00 for theirprocess which sum they have refused.They have been ovetwhe'med with propositions and offers from all sources.The News is informed that arrange-ments have been entered into whereby aprominent firm of the United Stateswill be a participant in the manufact-ure of this product, the locality andidentity of which we are not at libertyto reveal at this time. It will probablybe three or fonr months before goodsmanufactured f.oui this product will ap-pear on the market.

Mr. Frank D. Bencet, came to EvansCity seven years ago from Akron, O.during which time he has been in theemploy of the Dambach Planing Millswith the exception of one year. Hisbrother has also been at Evans Citypart of this time. They are receivingthe congratulations of their friendsaud there is no doubt but their patentprocess will revolutionize the rubber in-dustry as the cost of this new product

is nominal. Mr Bennett is this weekmoving his family to his former hometown where he can prosecute his newavocation to better advantage. ?ValleyNews.

WASaiXOTOX NOTES. Tlie Battleship "MissouriDisaster.

"Missouri" was killed, it is likely thatthe disaster will have to be writtendown as one of the unexplained mys-teries of which there are so many to berecorded in the history of the use of ex-

plosives both on sea and land. Theleast that we can say for the unfortu-nate dead is that at the present writing

there is not the faintest shred cf evi-dence that these noble fellows were do-ing aught but discharging their dutieswith that intelligent care and con-

scientious fidelity which have won forour navy its high reputation throughoutthe civilized world. Such accidents asthese are a part of the perpetual riskswhich are taken by those who serve

their country on the high seas?risksthat are by no means confined to thehour of battle, but are present and arealways seriously contemplated by of-ficers and men when ammunition rooms

are opened, guns are cast loose, and theterrific weapons of modern warfare are

put to the test.Most earnestly do we deplore the un-

seemly and officious haste with whichsuch a large section of the press seemready to rush into an ill-timed and most

ungenerous suggestion of carelessnessand incompetence, almost before thevictims have breathed their last breathin obedience co the call of duty.Whether on the Russian "Sissoi Veliky,"the British "Mars," or the American"Missouri," the victims of these shock-ing disasters are as fully entitled to the

honors of naval heroism as if they haddied in the fiercest climax of a -great

sea fight.The board of inquiry, when it comes

to investigate, will carefully sift outwhat scanty evidence is forth-coming,and if there be any blame, we may beassured it will be rightly placed. Butjust now it looks as though the only

criticism that could be made is that theaccident may have happened through

the rapidity of the firing. If this is thecase, it will simply mean that ourgallant sailors have died because theywere striving for that very proficiency

in the handling of their guns, which ithas been the effort of cur own andforeign navies to promote to the highestdegree.

'lhe accident happened to a modern12-inch 40-caliber gun of the latest p it-tern built for onr navy. These gnnsare probably the most effective 12-inchguns in existence today, having a

great, r energy per weight of gun tbauany 12-iuch pieces at present In me inany navy. It should be distinctly un-

derstood that Ihe accident is in no wayattributable to ihe gun itself.? Sci. Am.

The awful calamity that befell thebattleship "Missouri" on Wednesday,

April 13, when she was engaged intarget practice off the port of Pensacola,

is the latest of a series of similar acci-dents which have occnrred within thepaot few years on our own and foreign

warships. Some eighteen months ago,while the Russian battleship "Sissoi\"eliky"was firing her forward pair of12-inch gnns. there was a terrific ex-

plosion, which killed every man in theturret, and completely wrecked the in-

terior of the same. The massive top ofthe turret was blown bodily into thea:r, and half of it. fallingbackward np-on the deck, killed twenty-eight menthat were standing there in a group.About six months later there was an

explosion during target practice in one

of the turrets of the 12-inch guns of theBritish battleship "Mars," which result-ed in great loss of life. Then followed

the fatal explosion in one of the 8-inchgun turrets of our own battleship "Mas-sachusetts." In each case it was im-possible to determine definitely whatwas the cause of the explosion, thevarious boards of inquiry being ablemerely to suggest various conditionswhich might have rendered the ex-

plosion possible. In the present case,

because of the fact that every officerand man that was in the turret of the

| was ever heard of. A couple years ago

a corporation known as the Gre.it| Coal Company went into that section

1 and bought up several thousands of) acres of coal lauds. The company built' a railroad from a point on the Pitts-

burg, Bessemer & Lake Erie railroadand opened mines at Kaylor. In theirworks they needed a cheaper fuel thancoal, and as several abandoned oil wellswere on their purchase, they cleanedout some, drilled others deeper, and a

few days ago, in putting the drill intoone at an unusual depth, reached theSpeeehley sand and were rewardedwith a 75-barrel well. This strike hasawakened interest upon the part of op-erators, and land is being leased. Manyold oil wells will be sunk to the Speech-ley. while a vast amount of new devel-opments will follow at once.

Working PostalExhibit.

The United States Government build-ing at the World's Pair occupies an

elevated site just south of the mainpicture of the Exposition. The great

central dome of the Government build-ing is visible from the very center ofthe Fair, looking across the picturesque

sunken garden mat lies between thePalaces of Mines and Metallurgy andLiberal Arts.

The bill slope in front of the Gov-ernment building Is terraced withbroad stairways almost completely

covering the slope. The building is 800feet long by 250 feet wide and is thelargest structure ever provided at an

exposition by the federal government.It is distinguished from all the otherlarge buildings at the Exposition by

the stc;l truss construction, the entireroof being supported by steel arches,forming a splendid domed ceiling.

In this building are installed the ex-

hibits of ail the executive departments

of the government. The building is a

vast storehouse of an endless variety

of treasures dear to the heart of every

true American, l'recious documentsare to be seen here, and the autographs

of our great men of the past are ondisplay. Relics of famous statesmen

and soldiers, carefully preservedthrough generations, are exhibited.Each governmental department has in-stalled an exhibit showing its officialcharacter and mode of operation.

but is one of the most improved mailcars, in which men attached to theUnited States railway mail service areactively engaged in ''throwing" themalls. Here you will see the postalclerks at work, just as they work whilespeeding along a railroad track.

A curious collection of old time rel-

ics from the postoffice museum atWashington illustrates as no verbaldescription can do the crude begin-

nings of the postal system. One ofthese relics is an old fashioned stage-

conch that once carried United Statesmails through a portion of the Louisi-ana purchase territory. PresidentRoosevc-lt, who once inspected it, ex-

amined with a rough rider's interestthe bullet holes which stage robbersnnd mountain brigands shot throughits stifT leathern curtains. GeneralsSherman and Sheridan and PresidentGarfield rode in this old coach duringthe slreuuous days of frontier life.Among the collection of documentsshowing the primitive postal methodsin vogue in the early days is to beseen the old book of accounts kept bythe first postmaster general, BenjaminFranklin, all written by hand. There

is a rare collection of stamps, includ-ing ancient Filipino, Porto Itican andCuban stamp 3. The postoffice depart-ment's exhibit occupies 12,409 square

feet.Across the aisle, at the right, is the

exhibit of the new Department ofCommerce and Labor, occupying 1.900square feet. This exhibit shows whatthe new executive department standsfor and what it is accomplishing. Mr.Carroll I). Wright, United States Com-missioner of Labor, had charge of thepreparation of the exhibit. Charts ar-ranged by him, showing the rapidgrowth of the nation in agriculture,rrts, manufacture, population, etc., are
