ter, president of the Board oil Trade, John
A. Gorney and other citizens of the same
place telegraphed 10 Senator Squire few
days ago. protesting against any changes
or reductions in the Olympia weather
Office. and asking that the removal of in
struments be prevented Senator Squire
promptly wired that he had heard of no
change in the olympia office and would
investigate the matter at once. The chief
OF the weather bureau has since informed
the senator that no change in the Office
had been contemplated. The Olympia
station had been. still was and always
would be considered very important one,
but the needs Of the service had required
the removal of two instruments formerly
in the Olympia Office TO the Seattle Office.
1t was this, undoubtedly that had caused
the alarm in the minds, Of those who tele-
graphed Senator Squire.

WASHINGTON Cirr. Feb. Io.-The de-
veiopment OF todsy's work in the senate
finance sub-comuistee indicass that the
income tax will carry. The whisky
bonded period will be extended two years
longer. snd the free list much curtailed.
The COMMITTEES has had in view the Per-
fection Of bill which will meet the rev.
enne requirements aud prevent another
resort to bond issue. Pursuant TO this
p-rpose there is little doubt that the COM
naitsee has concluded TO retain the income
tax and place duty on sugar. The Lou
isiana senator's areso urgent in their de-
mands that the committee will find it diff
flcnit to refuse report fayoring a duty on
sugar. The committee is considering the
probability thar some changes will be IN
sisted upon before the house will agree to
the senate bill. and Is shaping the bin ac-
ccrdingly. The whisky men are working
hard for an extension of the bonded Pc
riod, and are likely TO sucreed. The
chances are that tho tax will remain a.
the fisure in the present bill, or at most
not above 81 10.

SPEAKING of James Denton Hancock,
the Democratic candidate for Congress
man-at- Large, the Erie Herald says:
Mr.. Hancock is well known throughout
entire state, by reputation. He was an
outspoken believer in the doctrine that
our tariff laws should be based on just
ice when a tariff reformer who had the
courage of his convictions was not easily
found in the ranks of Pennsylvania
Democracy. Mr.. Hancock thoroughly
understood the question and would re-
present the people with ability and with
unwavering fidelity to their interests.
1t may not be possible at this time in
this tariff-ridden state to elect Mr..
Hancock, but he deserves to be elected,
and, therefore. it should be a pleasure,
as it is duty for every Democrat in
Pennsylvania to vote for him. If every
elector in this state who believes in the
declarations of the platform adopted by
the convention were to vote for Mr..
Hancock, he would be sent to Washing
ton as the representative of the people
at large 10y substantial majority. OF
course a full vote is not usually looked
for at such a time of the year, but no
Democrat this year should fail to go to
the polls and vote for James ID. Hancock
on the third Tuesday of next February

Mighty Niagara Tanned.

NIAGARA FALLS, January 26.-The
first practical test of the great hydraulic
tunnel, which has been under construc-
ton in this city for the past three years,
was made yesterday morning.
This test shows what many thousands
have been waiting to See-a practical
demonstration OF the great scheme for
Harvesting the terrific power of Niagara,
a scheme which mas already cost nearly
$1,000, 600. The paper mill, which Is
the first To get the benefit of the power,
Il the largest of Its kind in the world.
Its contract calls for $500 horsepower,
one half of which is being used now,
and the cost, including the lease of land
occupied 10y the mill, is 81 per horse
power per year for twenty-four hours a
day, the cheapest, II Is said, attained.
The test proved a satisfactory one and
the mill Is now in full operation. The
hydraulic tunnel, with a capacity l2O,-
600 horse power, Is a success, and now
there remains only the formal opening
of the general power house, where 1000
horsepower turbines will operate 5000
horse power electric generators for the
transmission of power In this form
| This opening will take place on June ]
and 1t iS intended To give the event a
celebration at which distinguished scien-
I lists, engineers and state officials will be
| present.
The test Yesterday was made in the
presence only ofthe officials of the paper
mills and the k. ID. Wood Company, of
| Philadelphia, which built and placed
the machinery in position, and Profess
! or Geyelin, the designer of the turbines
| used. Not hitch was made and every
thing ran as smoothly as could be de-
sired.

President CHAUNCEY +. BLACK has
issued the following address to the Dem
ocratic societies and clubs of Pennsylvan-
ia:
"It is believed that the ensuing year
will he one Of the most important in the
history of the Democratic party, and
that regular, attentive and earnest work
by the DE mocratic societies in Pennsyl-
vania, as we'll as in other states where
the vote Is close Is more necessary than
ever. We are advised 10y thei leaders of
the party, both in congress and in the ad
ministratIon, that they need this year,
more than ever. the organized support
of the masses of conscientious Demo
Gratis who have no selfish or personal oh
ject in politics, but who desire only the
relief of the country from oppressive and
unequal taxes, and from the existing
distress of business and industry caused
by the still unrepeaed class legislation
and reckless extravaganza of the Repub
hcan party.
This year the administration is to be
sustained or rehuked at general elec-
ton. 4 congress is to be elected; in
Pennsylvania full state ticket and leg.
iSature are to be chosen; tariff tax re-
form and many other reforms are at
stake. We must organize for this strug-
gle, or lose much that was gained in
1890 and 1892, and recent events have
shown that public organization by Dem
cratic societies is the most efficient
method ofagitating and teaching before
and during campaigns, and of getting
out the Democratic vote on election day.
The Democratic societies should even
now be astir everywhere indorsing the
Wilson bill, answering its enemies, and
urging its early passage. We shall ask
the cooperation of every good Democrat
in the state, whether in office or in the
ranks, in common effort to supply an
organization of the Democratic people
for these purposes and these only, which
shall strive to maintain Democratic prin-
ciples and Democratic measures and
bring to the polls all Democratic voters
and their natural reform allies.

Big Railroad Wreck Near HIghspire.

HARRIsBURG, Jan. 29.-Nineteen cars
and locomotive were wrecked near
Highspirc a few minutes after o'clock
this evening by the breaking of an axle
on an east bound freight train Diller~
vile local freight dashed into the over
turned cars of the other train, and the
wreckage of both trains blOckaded four
tracks, suspending all travel east and
west. Three passenger trains are lying
at the scene of the accident, and at mid
night the prospect of getting trains
through is not bright. Three wrecking
crews with search lights are doing their
utmost to clear the tracks. John Ru-
pert, of this city, the fireman on the
Dillervil!e local, was badly hurt and is
at the hospital. He was the only person
injured. The engine of the west bound
train was overturned and buried under
dozen cars, yet the engineer escaped
unlniured.

A TERRIBLE riot in the Mansfield coal
district, Allegheny county, with its
dozen of mines and two thousand min
ers, began on Saturday last at $50 \. NJ,
and continued until three O'Clock in the
afternoon. The rioters were about six
hundred foreign miners, bent upon muir
der and destruction. A large amount of
property was destroyed, the rioters pro
ceeding from mine to another, without
check until they arrived at the tipple at
Beading Brothers, where the three
brave owners of the mine opened fire
from three Winchester rifles and soon
sent the mob whirling down the hill
Francis Steppickr one of the rioters,
was shot dead and many were wounded.
Sixteen OF the mob were arrested by the
sheriff's posse and landed in the Pitts
burg Jail. Nothing but the bravery of
the Beading Brothers and the prompt
support of powerful posse in charge of
the sheriff prevented fearful loss of
life and the destruction of many min
ing works.
