HIS MILITARY RECORD.

Apart from league matters Major War
ren has many times been q delegate from
his own election district to Republican
state and county conventions: has been
chairman OF the Scranton city Republican
committee; has served rs secretary of the
county committee and as member OF the
county executive committee; is vice presi-
dent Of the inilueLtia Central Republican
club and president of the Ninth Ward Re-
publican club, and has participated ac-
lively and zealously in every campaign,
local, state and national, since he became
voter. As campaign orator Major War
ren has few superiOrs among the Younger
members Of the party, fact well attested
by his popularity with New York and
Pennsylyauia audiences, TO whom ne has
repeatedly been sent by campaign mana
gers.
Major Warren's military title is derived
through active aud honorable membership
IN the Pennsylvania National guard. In
1881 he enlisted as a private in A COM
pany of the crack Thirteenth regi-
ment, under Captain, now Lieutenant
Governor, Louis A. Watres. After
three years service in the ranks, Private
warren became sergeant-major, then adju-
tanJ and finally judge advocate Of the
General j. p S. Gobin's staff. After a con-
tinuous service Of over ten years Major
Warren resigned as judge advocate in 1891
and Withdrew from the guard.
THE LEAGUES TRUE MISSION.
Asked his opinion Of the State league
and its work, Mr.. Warren said: ut can
be made an admirable auxiliary in the
education of the younger voters in Repub-
llcan principles; but the league should re-
main within its proper province aud not
permit itself to be used as the nursery for
any mans personal ambitions. l do not
mean by this that the Republican who is
earnest and efficient in league work should
necessarily be debarred from hope of party
preferment But / regard il as false
notion that the league should be restricted
IN Its scope to the campaign necessities Of
any man or number Of men who would
like to use the league merely as a means
to the attainment Of their own ends. Ny
idea Of loyalty is so strong that, rather
than be the means of Gripping the useful
ness Of this splendid organization of the
aggressive young Republcanism of our
commonwealth, l would willingly forego
any political aspirations of my own which
might clash with the leagues best inter-
ests; and think this should be the spirit
throughout"

corps of the army and one of the assistants
to Gen. Casey, chief of engineers. died at
1 30 O'Clock this morning at HIS residence

Is in New York city. and the other is in
Florida.
Major Turtle was an engineer officer of
superior ability, and his death is a serious
loss to the army. He was a most genial
companionable man. and had host of
friends. He was a native of Ireland, and

pointed to the military academy from Mas
sachusetts and graduated fourth in his
class in 1867. He was promoted to be a

THE RUINED ASK RELIEF.

Commissioner Lamoreux of the general
land Office has been receiving many COM
munications from homesteaders in the
burned districts of Minnesota and Wisccn-
sin concerning pine lands which they have
taken, but which have not been finally
patented or in which the title does not
rest with the settler. Homesteaders are
prohibited from cutting the pine until they
acquire complete title To this they make
TO objection, except in cases of fire, when
the pine must be cut Immediately or It will
lose its value for lumber. In any section
when the fire has ragged and the bark of
the trees are burned, they must be cut
the following winter or the worms at once
begin their ravages. and by the second
winter the trees are almost, If not wholly,
destroyed. The settlers have been inQuiring
OF Commissioner Lamoreux whether the
cut the timbef on their land so that II
may be saved. The commissioner says that
such permission cannot be granted and con-
gressional action will be necessary before
the settlers, whose titles are not yet per-
feet, can cut and save their timber. 1t is
expected that bill will be introduced and
an effort be made early In the next session
of Congress to grant the homesteaders the
relief they are asking. Commissioner Lam
oreux made a tour of the burned section
while he was in the northwest. He says
that there will be extensive numbering in
that region this year, as the owners of
all timber lands where the flames swept
the country know that they must cut the
injured timber in order to save II.

DILE M M IA OF SPAIN
The Necessity of Some Commercial Treaty
With This Country.
The Cuban Sugar Planters Are serf-
ously Affected by the Abolition of
the Reciprocity Arrangement.

So far as can be ascertained the Spanish
government has as yet made no formal
advance toward the negotiation Of a new
commercial treaty with the United States.
and although a movement in that direction
Is expected In the near future the subject
Is SO beset with difficulties that the outcome
OF the negotiations is extremely doubtful.
The reciprocity arrangement" as was
styled the compact negotiated with Spain
by Secretary Blaine to distinguish 1t from
formal treaties. has fallen through since
the new tariff act went into operation. 1t
was not necessary for either government
to denounce the arrangement or serve no
tice OF fits termination fer this followed by
the terms OF the act. Eacn government
contented Itself With a notice To its revenue
collectors In the case Of the United States
that the new duties imposed by the new
tariff act must be collected on all imports.
regardless Of previous arrangements. and
In the case of Spain that the ole rates of
duties must be exacte1 on imports from the
United States.
Notwithstanding the assertion by Spain,
while the arrangement existed. that IL vas
uns atisfactCry to her, beyond question The
reversion TO the old order is still more so.
The Cuban sugar planters. already in bad
str6its. are in state OF absolute panic at
the prospect of the loss of their principal
market--the United States-and are bring
ing to bear such pressure upon the cortes
by memorials and urgent repres entations of
various kinds that the Spanish government
is Obliged to move for their relief, even at
the cost of a sacrifice of part of the reve-
nues derived from In creased duties on
American imports But the negotiation of
a new reciprocity treaty with the United
States will not be easy of accomplishment,
involving, as it would, a less by the United
states OF part OF the revenue to be derived
from imported sugar at a time when all
revenues are needed for the maintenance of
the government, sc the negotiations are
likely to occupy much time and to be sue

job till the afternoon. Rustycoat be-
gan to hobble and sniff along the bank
and it wasn't a great hile before Mr..
Levalley noticed that he had lain
down close to the stream, with his
nose over n root, as though he was
watching for something.
The soil over the layer of stones was
frozen solid and Mr.. Levallcy and his
ncighbor drew some coal to the spot
aud built fire on it to thaw it out.
Then they cut brush till dinner time
and when they started for the house
the old dog was still watching at the
root. Mr.. Levalley called 10 the dog,
and Rustycoat wagged his tail. looked
wistfully at his master, but didn't stir.
When they returned from dinner the
old dog was in the same position.
Within half an hour they heard the
water splashing, and looking toward
the creek they saw the old dog strug
Cling with an otter under the root.
The old cripple had evidently dropped
upon the otter the moment it stuck it's
head from under the root, for he had it
by the neck, and, although the otter
was biting him viciously on the shoul-
der, he hung to it and tugged and
twisted to drag it out of the water.
The neighbor seized club and started
to help the old dog, but Mr.. Levalley
insisted on letting the animal fight it
out. The otter tore the old dogs hide
terribly, but Rustycoat kept his wise
like hold without hinching, and
inch by inch the old crippled
dog luggcd his antagonist along
the bank until he reached the
edge of the blazing Goals, when he
gave the otter a fling and threw it upon
the fire. The otter squealed and sprang
out, but the dog caught it, and after
another long and fierce tussle, in which
the dogs nose was torn open, he
again flung the otter into the fire.
This time the otter had its teeth set in
Rustycoat's neck ard it took the dog
with it, both landing on the bed of
Goals. Then Mr.. Levalley undertook
to rescue the dog, but he was too late.
Both Rustycoat and the otter crawled
out of the fire still clinched, but they
had been fatally burned, and after
few gasps, both stretched out and died
