The President Very Busy.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-It may happen
after all that the President will not be able
to go to California next month. While
he has arranged everything to get off
about April 10, still business may come
up that will cause him to lay aside all
his plans and remain in Washington.
The reciprocity treaties are being rapidly
arranged and it may require the Presi-
dents presence here, but the greatest diff
Guilty is the Behring Sea troubles, which
seem now to be coming ahead, and if the
arrangements are to be made for arbitra-
ton, MIR. Harrison will have to be here

Eight Men Accumulated Fortunes by Al
legged Illegal Profits.
PHILADELPHIA, March 19-Recent reve-
lations at Mercer, Pa, discloses the fact
that the State of Pennsylvania has very
probably been robbed of over 81, 000, 900
in the management of the Soldiers Or
phan Schools.
The alleged illegal profits of one of 10
big schools amounts to $27O,O00; and this
school was one of those controlled by a
syndicate headed by ex-StaLe Senator
George. w. Wright, of Mercer.
The fortunes accumulated by eight
men, it is alleged, through pinching the
orphans and fleeing the State were
roundly as follows:
George W. Wright, 100000; John I.
Gordon, $685., 900; S. +. Thompson, $685.
900; r. r. Wright, $65, 5000; James L. Paul,
100000; Major Moore, Whitehall, 1926, 900;
Prof. Sweet, Hartford, $4,000; Rev. A. F.
Waters, Uniontown, $4,000. Total,
$1,095,0
A considerable part of this sum may be
recovered as the persons here named have
returned $25o, 1000.
All of the gains appropriated by these
men were acquired in direct violation of
the law, without contract of any kind.
The Commonwealth seems to have a clear
case.

40 you want good, smart Spring
Overcoat, one that will be ornamental
as well as useful?
A light weight overcoat is almost
indispensable to-day and yet it was
only few years ago that they were
unknown, 1t is surprising how soon
Injuries become necessities. and it is
also surprising how much of a luxury
little money will buy in the way of
Spring Overcoat. $500 buys an all
wool light weight overcoat that we are
not ashamed to sew our label on, and
your fir ends would hardly believe you
if you told them how little you paid
for it. SI2.oo buys one that is all
wool,silk faced and silk lined through
out.
Our rightly made garments are cor
rect in style as we'll as low in price.

The Clark's Mills Strikers Have a New
Cause for Complaint.
NEWARK, N. J., March 19.-The striking
spinners of the Clark Thread Mills, in
Kearny. claim that the Clarks have i'm
ported spinners from Scotland, and that
yesterday six men, with their families,
were taken to the mills at Kearny, under
escort of John Gregory's deputies.
The strikers have sent committee to
New York to get evidence in the matter.
and if it is true the attention of the gov
eminent authorities will be called to the
matter.
Asa Hilton, Robert Woods and William
Perry, who were bailed in Jersey City on

who was arrested on Sunday night, also

Sheriff McPhillipps says the Riot Act
has been read at Kearny. The strikers
are still firm and are receiving plenty of
financial aid. There is no probability,
however, that the girls will strike.

The Terrible Disaster Described by One o
tho Utopia's Passengers.

The Terrible Disaster Described by One of
tho Utopia's Passengers.
GIBRALTAR, March 19.-An eye witness
gives the following account of the wreck
ing of the Utopia:
The shrieks of the Utopia's passen-
gers and crew could be plainly heard
above the roaring of the gale. The sea
was so heavy that the boats of the rescu-
ers could not with safety approach the
wreck, so they were compelled to lie to
leeward, where they picked up the people
as they were swept from the decks. As
the Utopia's bows settled u terrible scene
was witnessed.
Fighting for n Chance to Escape.
Il was surrounded by a mass of human
beings fighting their way desperately and
savagely regardless of sex or age towards
the boats. Men, women and children
tumbled and climbed over each other in
their fight for a chance to escape from
drowning. One poor woman who was
rescued by the Arson blue jackets went
raving mad when she was convinced that
her children were drowned. There were
similarly distressing incidents by the
score, the most awful of all occurring
when the Utopia with final desperate
lurch sank with her human freight cling
ing about her.
Sprang Into the Sea.
''Many who had sprang in the sea when
they saw that the steamship could not
float much longer We're drawn into the
whirlpool caused by the Utopia's disap-
pearance. Some came to the surface
again for a few minutes before sinking
finally into their watery tomb. Others
were able to cling to pieces of the floating
wreckage, spars, oars, gratings, hatch
ways, boats, ifeboats, etc, and thus kept
themselves above the water until rescued
by the war ships boats, but the weaker
succumbed readily.
"Shrieking, praying women sank to
rise no more, with their terrified offspring
clasped to their breasts. Children chung
to their parents SO desperately as, in sew
eral cases, to cause the death of both,
when both might have been saved had
better judgment been used. Husbands
and wives sank while grasping each other
in frantic efforts to keep each other afloat,
and a good swimmer went down with
some Mortified, fear-maddened person
clinging to him with the tenacity of the
desperation of death.''
