"I sign this report, as believe it is in nc
cordance with the evidence taken, and sub
stantially Just. SO much OF it rs is OF o par
tisan character I have no sympathy with.
81. III. BURLEfGH."
The conclusions of the minority report
are as follows:
eve concur with the majority Of the
committee in the opinion that there
are errors in the system upon which
our naval affairs are conducted, and
had earnestly hoped that well-ma-
tured plans for correcting these er-
rors would have found place in their
report. One or two suggestions OF change
in existing laws are made, but they are
neither radical nor exhaustive, and some OF
them ore limited ut or suggested as possible
measures, the adoption Of which might be
wise rather than actually recommended.
But the majority propose to avoid response
bility for all measures OF. reform in law,
and call to their aid mixed commits
sion OF persons OF experience in naval mat
tiers who may have wisdom enough to exam
inc into our system and discover and point
out its defects and errors, and perhaps ade-
quate remedies. This is an evasion Of the duty
imposed upon the committee, and confess
sion Of the majority that they are unequal
to the task. Upon those subjects which
seem to have political importance the ma
iority take the responsibility with alacrity;
while upon measures requiring patience and
non-partisan inquiry and investigation and
comprehensive craftsmanship and wisdom
for their proper solution they are unwilling
to assume any.
eve feel that under such circumstances,
having pointed out all errors and abuses,
whether arising from the imperfections OF
our system OF otherwise, and devised pro-
per measures for their correction, they
should have declared the fact fairly and
plainly, rs it appears in the proofs, that they
have found no grounds for personal ACCUSE
ton. In view of this action on the part OF
the majority, and OF our own settled con-
victions, after 4 full examination Of all the
testimony, we recommend the adoption OF
the following resolution:
" Resotued, That in this investigation no
fraud, corruption, or wilful violation OF the
laws has been shown or appears to have been
committed by Hon. George NJ. Robson
while in the discharge Of his duties OF Sec
rotary OF the Navy, and we find no reason
to censure or find fault with his conduct in
the administration OF the Navy Depart
ment.'
[Signcd.] =. w. HARRIS,
CHARLES HAYS,
L. DANFoRD."
After speech by Mr.. Lewis, Of Alabama,
in support OF the majority report, the mat
ter went over without action.

We have had quite dry spell, but not
long enough to damage the crops to any eN-

good also the corn crop. The farmers are
quite confident that peanuts will bring a
better price this year than last.
The Tilder-and-Ien ticket every
body is much pleased with. 4 large, num-
Der OF the coored voters will probably vote

ing Journals OF the country, being exactly
what it processes to be, not like the New

processes to be neutral, but is really Just as

Political Notes.

The Blaine agony before the snbjudi-
ciary committee at Washington, Thursday,
was limited to the testimony Of Mr.. j. A.
Green in relation to the Kansas Pacific
lobby business. He said he knew nothing
of his own knowledge as to Blaine's con
nection with it, but that tine records show
that Mr. Blaine received 1886, 900 con
struction bonds, placed in the hands Of
j. B. Stewart by 7. c. Dnrant. Letters
were on record in this connection contain.
ing reference to 'Blaine," "John Il.
Blaine and "James Blaine" The name
"James G. Blaine" did not appear. Mr..
Blaine did not get off any pyrotechnics
pending the examination.
Tho New York World says We do
not concur in the general opinion that
Mr.. Blaine is dead as Presidential can
didate. The haste shown by his Repub-
lican brethren to administer upon his
political estate seems to us rather prema-
ture. His prospects have been badly in
jured, but he is not the kind Of man to
give up while he has chance left, and he
knows that he has now to choose between
making tremendous fight for the nomi-
nation and utter political ruin.
The Chicago Tribune, speaking of the
Republican Convention of Illinois, says
that while its delegates TO Cincinnati
were unanimously for Blaine, it "packed

burg Compiler, Of Thursday, we take the fol-
lowing;
Between aud 9 o'clock, =. NJ, on Friday
last, the bank barn on the farm Of Mr.. Gen.
Lower, in Straban township, was struck by
lightning aud consumed, with 2 calves, 200
bushels Of wheat, 100 bushels Of shelled corn,
all the corn III the crib, 100 bushels of oats, q
or tons of hay, new wagon loaded with
chopped grain just brought home and left on
the barn floor, n nearly-new reaper, and the
greater part Of his farm implements. A car
riage house near the barn was also burned
Barn and grain insured for S666.GG each, in
the Mummasburg Company. On the 18th Of
April, 1915, the barn that stood on the same
ground was burned by lightning. Mr.. Jacob
Hohf then owned the barn. The absence of
rain on Friday was remarkable, only few
drops having fallen, and the storm mile
northeast. Everything being so very dry, the
dwelling male narrow escape.
About 2 o clock Saturday afternoon light
ming struck the unfinished stonewo-k Of u
barn iow building by Mr.. David Conover, in
Moputioy township. Jacob Baker, Sr., and
u. u. Hagarman, two of the masons at work
at the time, were severely stunned, but not
seriously injured. Several steel drills used
for splitting large stones were left in hole
in the wall. These ATTRACTS a current Of
electricity, which was in turn drawn TO the
earth, leaving its marks through the wall q
distance of seven feet. There was no rain at
the time.
Mr.. Amos Louch's family of FIVE persons,
including himself, residing in Butler township,
were poisoned last Friday from eating lettuce
that had received some Paris Green during
the process Of sprinkling it upon potato vines
growing close to the lettuce bed Though
quite i'll they are recovering.
On Saturday week, the west gable of the
large fye-story grist mill, belonging to the
estate Of Solomon Hartman, dee d., at Hill.
town, fell, the foundation first giving way
and the whole wall following. Part of the
side wall also went down. Mr. John f.
Hartman, the miller, loses about $50 bush
els OF corn and 10 of oats.
IL is suggested that grand picnic be held
in McSherry's grove, at littlestown, by the
people Of York, Adams, Frederick and Car
roll counties, some day during the present
summer.
