The Way They Look at Ii.

From the New York Evenipg SUM-
Once upon time when Pennsylvania had
centennial, New York, like the rest of the
States, poured its thousands upon thousands of
dollars into her open lap. 1t is a poor return
for her to dump her whole militia upon US and
require US to pay the bill.

HARRISBURG, April THE old Penn farm
in Bucks county-"the home FARM as it is
known, for the reason that the manor house
was located on twill become the property of
the State, if Governor Beaver is willing. The
Senate has passed bill for its purchase. Twen-
ty-fve Pennsylvania members of Congress Pc
titioned for it, and the two United States Sena-
tors indorsed the project: The House Appro-
priations Committee, in its zeal to cut down ex-
penditures, negatived the measure to the same
effect that originally came before it, but by
the time the Senate bill was messaged to the
House change had come over the spirit of the
committees dream to such an extent that the
bill was reported favorably. The House will
pass it. Chairman AAdrewsis in favor of hav-

A PennsrIrania Museum.
FROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

When Mr.. Hindenach, member from Bucks,
was asked what is expected after the farm had
become the property of the State, he replied
that it ought to be turned into park, and that
a museum of antiquities handed down from
colonial days, might be established there in
honor of the memory of the founder of the
Commonwealth. This Penn farm, Bucks coun-
ty people believe, ought to be to Pennsylvania
people what Mt. Vernon is to the nation. Penn
relics of colonial times. they believe, should be
treasured up here for this and future genera
tions to look on and admire.

A Qunker's Palace.

This tract was purchased by Penn soon after
his arrival in 1852; he ordered dwelling to be
erected thereon, and determined to make it his
country home. The house was stately resi-
dence, begun 16S2-SS; was several years in build
ing, and cost him f5, 900 to $1,000. 1t stood on
gentle eminence, $50 yards from the Delaware.
Welcome creek wound its gentle waters closely
about it; and it was surrounded by gardens,
and fruit trees planted by Penn's hand. He
resided there during his second visit, with his
family 1699-l70l; met his council there; made
several treaties with the Indians on the lawn
tanned much distinguished Colonial
company In 1854, the manor con-
tanned S43l acres, but in the next 20 years. 1888
acres were sold, and some added to it. In 1903,
Penn, by deed of trust, settled the mansion
house, which he calls palace" with the lana
attached to it on the elder branch of the
family. In 1913, the manor contained but 5S42
acres, and the quantity afterward varied. In
1892 the manor house and 300 acres were sold,
by the heirs of Penn, to Robert Crozier The
deed recites ''all that capital message, or manor
house, erected by William Penn, Esquire, first
proprietor and Governor in Chief of the
Province of Pennsylvania" etc., ETC. The
Crozier mansion was erected where the manor
house had stood. The tract was afterward
divided between the two sons of Robert Crozier,
Robert and Thomas, the former getting the
part belonging to the mansion. The property
remained in the Crozier family until within
recent years.
A Chance for a Sensation.
When Andrew Carnegie faces the Legisla-
ture tomorrow night to denounce the Penn.
sylvania Railroad he might make quite hit
by asking the members to tear up their Penn
sylvania Railroad passes, merely as a guar
antee of good faith. This would produce more
of sensation among the statesmen than the
hard things Mr.. Carnegie will say concerning
the railroads policy toward Pittsburg and
Pennsylvania industries. The members, how
ever, do not all carry passes. Senator Rev-
burn doesn't, and he once gave constituent
quite a shock when the latter asked him to
use his influence with the Pennsylvania Rail-
road to get him pass home. The Senator,
who was travelling in the same direction as his
friend, simply walked over to the ticket Office,
bought two tickets, and handed the other gen.
tleman one. Passes, however, come without
the asking, and the average legislator is too
courteous to refuse them. Besides, it is a car
dinal principle of American life to take any
thing that can be got for nothing.

goa Bay railroad concession, notwithstand-
ing the representations of England. The
Portuguese government was informed by

sible for any loss that British investors
might suffer by its action. Proper steps
win be taken to protect British residents at
Delagoa Bay.
In the House of Lords today, Lord Sails
bury stated that In order to provide against
any action by the Portuguese inimical to
British interests. England had ordered three
ships to proceed to Delagoa Bay.
LISBON, July 1.-Despatches from Della
goa Bay are reassuring. Reports of violence
on the part of the Portuguese are denied
There has been no disturbance. The agents
of the railway company handed over the
line to the Portuguese officials, and made
valuation upon the work already done. The
directors OF the Portuguese company at Lis
bon, with which alone the Portuguese gov
ernment have treated, have informed the
government that they have no intention Of
resisting the decree cancelling the conces-
sion. and will seek legal redress. In politi-
cal circles here 1t is asserted that the conces-
sion and Portuguese laws fully guarantee
the repayment of the capital which the rail-
road company has sunk in the enterprise.

A Circular from Cen. Mitchell to His
Command.

AUGUSTA, July 1.-The Journal will print
in the morning letters in the controversy be-
tween Brig. Gen. Fl. l.. Mitchell and Col. j.
j. Lynch of the First Regiment. In these
Gen. Mitchell charges Col Lynch with dis
obeying orders, being guilty of insubordin-
alton and conduct projudicial to the service,
and recommends that Col. Lynch be ordered
before board of officers to be organized by
the Commander-in-C The correspon-
dence also contains letter from Adjutant
General Sprague requesting Col Lynch's
presence at headquarters July 1st, and Col.
Lynch's reply stating his willingness to ap-
pear. In consequence of this, Adjutant

the conduct of Col. John j. Lynch as re
ported by Gen. Mitchell.

from Maj. lPlaisted last November and for
warded it to the Inspector General who in
turn informed Gen. Mitchell that he should
make it a portion of his report and have it
published in the Adjutant Generals report
Tomorrow Gen. Mitchell will issue a cir
culars to his command because of unjust
comments which have been made on Brigade
Inspector Plaisted's report. The circular
says the inspector general, being unable to
perform tour duty at the muster in 1888, the
brigade inspector attended to it. General
Mitchell ordered him to make his report
without fear or favor, as he did.
'Any man," the circular says, "wh0 may
be accused of unmilitary conduct by a supe-
rior, can, under the law of redress of wrongs,
secure a court inquiry where the facts may
be presented Every man who performs his
duty will be encouraged and protected, but
discipline must be maintained

sunk by the steamer on her outward trip
last Friday.
Capt. Stanwood Of the Yarmouth said rel
ative to the collision: 'Aboat SO miles out
side Of Boston Light we struck heavy fog,
and Immediately slowed up, blowing our
whistle constantly. Suddenly we heard a
horn, and then the brigantine lsomed up
dead ahead. No mortal power could have
avoided the clash, and although our engines
were quickly reversed, we struck her right
abaft the main rigging, penetrating her hull
about 10 feet. The crew climbed up over
our bows. and soon afterwards the vessel
sank. Our passengers suffered no panic at
the time, but all did their utmost to render
the unfortunates comfortable. U. S. Consul
Curry provided them with necessaries upon
their arrival in Yarmouth"

ports that when in long. 67' %" west and lat

to starboard. The vessels course was
slightly altered, and when quarter of a
mile to the northward of the derelict she
was hove to. First Mate Mckinley and two
men put off to her in small boat to ascer-
tain who she was.

pearing to have been wrecked by storm.

boom gone, and her after-deck torn up. Her
rudder had also been wrenched away, while
her wheel, with the exception Of few brok-
en- spokes, was intact. On it was painted
her name, George B. Mcfarland.
The falls and tackle for lowering the life
boats was hanging in the water from the
davits, showing that her boats had been
launched, whether successfully or not could
not be determined. An effort was made to
get into the forecastle, but that was found to
be full of water. The vessels matches had
been stoyc in. and floating about in the yes-
thing aboard of her was awash.
Mckinley put back to the Orinoco and Sc
cured barrel of kerosene oil and a quantity
of oakum, which he piled in the ships galley
and, after saturating it with the oil, set 1t on
fire. When the steamer sailed away, what
was dry on the derelict was burning bright
ly.
