the Republicans and their candidates as

was ono Of majority, since the Democratic
leader admitted tho re election Of Govern

ment would be was the point upon which
the two parties differed. Results show
that the claims OF the Republicans, made
prior TO the election, were well grounded,
since Governor Greenhaige and the entire

Governor Hastings callers did not
ask for a hearing on the bill. They
explained that they We're returning to

here to pay their respects and ask him
to approve the measure. He was re-
minded by one of the visitors of the

MIR. DANA'S LIBEL SUIT.
1t Is Decided That lie Need Not Go TO
Washington for Trial

New York, June 24.-The decision in
the libel case of Frank b. Noyes, editor
of the Washington Star, against Charles
A. Dana. was handed down today by
Judge Brown, of the United States
District court. The judge decided that
Mr.. Dana is not to go to Washington.
tuted by F. Noyes, a resident of the
state of Maryland, which fact was de-
veloped during the presentation Of the
case to Judge Brown.
Noyes contended that he had been
libelled in The Sun and took the matter
before the Supreme court of the Dis
trict ofo Columbia An indictment was
found by the grand jury of the Dis
trict of Columbia on March 7 last and
forwarded here to United States Dis
trict Attorney McFarlane, and an eff
fort made to remove Mr.. Dana to
Washington for trial.
The matter came first before Com
missioner Shields and subsequently the
application ito remove Mr.. Dana to
Washington for trial came up before
Judge Addison Brown in the United
States court.
Mr. Dana there assumed all response
bility for the publication of the matter
complained of and said to be libelous.
On behalf Of Mr.. Dana, Messrs. Root
and Bartlett argued against the re-
moval of Mr.. Dana to Washington as
without warrant in law and violation
of the constitution rights of citizen.
Mr. Root asserted that the attack
on Mr.. Dana was an attack on the lib
critics of the whole press such as was
warranted by no statute ever passed by
congress. Mr.. Root pointed out further
that the question as to whether Mr..
Dana could be removed from his home
was question Of grave Importance as
affecting the whole press of the United
States. He said that every newspaper
man was endangered and contended
that if any offence had been commit
ted 1t had been committed in New York
and Mr.. Dana should be tried there.
This Is the second attempt that has
been made to take Mr.. Dana to Wash
ington The first was made by Boss
Sheppard in case almost similar to
the last one. Justice Blatchford heard
the argument at that time. Justice
Blatchford ordered Mr.. Dana to be dis
charged.

VISIT TO SACRED SHRINES.
Described by Rev. J. q. Eckman at Meet
ing Of Ministers.

At the regular semi-monthly meet
ing of the Scranton Methodist Minis
ters' association held yesterday morn
ing in the Elm Park church. G.. f. Price
was in the chair and the feature of the
meeting was a talk by Rev. j. G. Eek
man on "A Visit to the Sacred Shrines
OF Professionalism"
The talk was a history of the gen.
tleman's recent trip in Europe. The
sacred shrines referred to are: The
grave of John Hus. the martyr, who
was burned AZ the stake on the shores
of Lake Constance, in the year 1i15:
a monument to Martin Luther, at
Woems, where the great diet was hid:
and monument at oxford, England. to
Hugh Latimer Ridley and Bishop Gram
mer, who We're murdered during the
reign of Queen Mary.
The address was very interesting
those present discussing the subject
afterward in a manner complimentary
to the speaker. The ministers were in
vited by the Wilkes-Barre conference to
join In an excursion to Hanover park.
The local divines accepted and, with
their families, will attend the outing.

Finn said briefly in reference to the
payment of the Illuminating. Heat and
Power companys bills for lighting the
city building. police and engine houses
by electricity.
The totals of the bills for the second
month show an increase over the first
months bills of quite large amount.
Mr.. Finn said 1t seemed to him that
they could burn gas for half the price,
and there ought to be something done,
as tho prices are outrageous.
There is a resolution now pending in
councils providing against the use OF
electric lights and recommending the
exclusive use of gas.

OUR POPULATION 123,12O.
Figures Compiled from Tnylor's Directory
Would Indicate That Fact.

Taylor's Directory of Scranton and
Dunmore, the distribution Of which will
begin today, shows that Scranton has
made rapid strides in growth during
the last five years. The census of 1890
gave this city 7j,215 of a population,
which was undoubtedly 1900 below
what the city possessed at that time.
The present directory contains 533
pages and 3s.32O names This, treated
on the accepted ratio Of 31a to ! used
i'm computing populations from direc-
tory figures, would give Scranton and
Dunmore a population Of 133,120 De-
Quoting from this a population Of 10000
for Dunmore and 123,12O is found to be
Scranton's population.
Last year the directory contained
3i,470 names The book issued this year
is one of the most complete and accu-
rate ever compiled in this city.
