Caused a SENSATION at Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The news Of
sensation in diplomatic circles in this
city. Cases where an envoy Of any kind
has been assaulted in the country to which
he is accredited are rare, and those in
which a peace commissioner is attacked
are almost unheard of in modern days.
The opinion here is that Japan Will suffer
greatly as consequence Of the assault
and that the position of China will be so
strengthened that she may be able to
secure better terms of peace than she
could otherwise have hoped for.
May Break on the Negotiations.
The incident may lead To tine breaking
Of of peace negotiations which Were pro-
ceedinG so satisfactorily. or at least may
postpone further action in this direction
until Japan has guaranteed the safety
of China's envoy and made proper replra-
tion. No news of the attack on Ii Hung
Chang has been received by the Japanese
legation here and Minister kurine was
unwilling to- discuss the occurrence. The
members Of the legation realize that 1t is
"a serious matter. They say no one will
deplOrc such an affair more than the
japanese themselves.
Chinese Minister Not Talking.
The Chinese legation received prompt
notiiica of the matter. Minister Yang
Iu did not care to discuss the matter. 1t
was stated at the legation that il was
not believed that 1t would lead to the
total breaking of of the peace negotia-
tionS. although il might cause them to be
interrupted for Il time.

SPRINGFIELD, His, March 25.-Rcv. DR..
Carlos Martyr, of Chicago. spoke in Rep
resentatives' hall under the auspices of
the National Christian Citizenship League
and Y. NJ. G. A. The attendance was
large. DIR. Martyr discussed Municipal
Problems" Among other things he called
attention to the fact that the government
of cities is the conspicuous failure of
American institutions. He graphically
portrayed the results of municipal mis-
rule in Chicago and New York, and said
that these were merely samples of the
situation all over tho country. He se-
vercly scored the state senate for passing
the Humphrey bill' legalizing pool SELL
ing. DIR. Martyr said the bill should be
entitled "a bill to dcbauch the morals and
manners of the people of Illinois," He
said its author should be branded and his
colleagues scored in infamy.

The storm last Friday in the Jun.
iata Valley was the severest known.
It has often blown as hard but not
within the memory of men was there
n fescy snow. six inches deep to be
driven By the wind, but the snow
belt did not extend far west beyond
Mifflin county, and car travel beyond
that county was not much obstruct-
ed. but east of that travel was diff
ficult. The first passenger train
from the west-Atlantic-stuck in a
anow drift up to the headlight at Nc
Veytown, but was dug ont and work
ed its way eastward slowly on Friday.
The early passenger trairs on Fri
day did not get through westward
bound till Friday about P. NJ.
Freights were side tracked and stuck
all along the route from this point
east The storm was hard on the
tralnps and the stoppage of freight
trains in the Miffiin yard caused
them to seek shelter here at the var
ious warm places about the railroad
and sand house. About 8 o'clock P.
NJ, six applied to the Commissioners
who were holding a meeting that
evening, for permit to lodge in the
Jail. The hearts of the Commission
ers are not made of stone and they
gave them an order on the sheriff for
a nights lodging in Jail. When
Friday morning came the weather
WAS worse than on Thursday evening,
and the tramps were given shelter In
the Orphans Court room. Clerk to
the Commissioners, w. H. Groning-
er when making out the order for
their iodgment in Jail gave them q
short lecture, telling them that if all
people spent their earnings as they
have been doing as fast as they earn
ed it, no one would have accumulat-
ed fund upon which tax could be
levied to support such people MS they.
One OF the tramps made answer, and
said for his part he intends to reform.
When Friday morning came the
weather was worse than ON Thurs.
day evening. and the tramps we're
turned into the o. lphan's 8 Court room,
and in the evening returned to Jail.
but on Saturday morning, they were
hidden to leave, and left for the rail-
road.
There was no mail from the east
beyond Harrisburg on Friday, and
on the evening of that day all orders
for the running Of passenger trains
were annulled.

The people Of Pennsylvania have
Tor several years petitioned the state
Legislature to 1e-enact our tax laws
with the view Of equalization of taxes,
whilst this was not the exact result
prayed for, vet, it was the means OF
increasing the appropriation for our
Public Schools, to five aud one half
million dollars.
Now that this has been accom-
plished in thus relieving the tax
payer to certain extent further
legislation has placed free text books
in our schools, consequently, We have
approached very near to free school
system. But this does not relieve as
as citizens of the duty we owe to our.
selves, to our children and the pub
lie.
1t is more obligatory still on our
part to make wise and good selection
of those who are the guardians of
our schools, the finances and the se-
lection of teachers.
The Office of school director should
be eliminated from politics.
Directors should not be chosen for
their political faith nor for q reward
for some menial party service but for
their fitness for the position, they
should be persons who have had ex-
perience in school affairs, aud know
what tho qualifications of the teacher
should be, both intellectual and
moral, they should be progressive,
such as would suffer no retrograding
of our schools, but insist on eleva:ing
them by raising the standard higher
and higher.
It is doubtful if this will ever be
done If party loyalty is made the
criterion by which you form your
ballot on election day.
The laws of Pennsylvania have at
last said that women can be elected
to aDd serve as school directors-of
course without pay.
In as much as the borough of Pat
ters has taken a new departure, in
regard to one of the tickets, and
placed il nomination. for school di-
rectors, Mrs. Sarah -McNitt, and Miss
Katie Dipple. it IS proper to state
that doubt as to their qualification
for that important Office need not be
entertained or questioned by any
one. Mrs. McNltt, in former years
was q school teacher and knows what
the qualifications of a teacher should
be- During the term she conducted
the post Office, she exhibited business
tack and ability, and proved herself
a safe guardian Of public funds. Miss
D:pple has been teaching in the twin
boroughs quite q number of years.
and needs no commedation at my
hands.
She has met and fought the battle
of life and won.
She is to be commended for her
ambition and pluck and to day per.
haps, has no fear as q school tssc her
IN our county.
Citizens, We are not living for our
selves but for our pos,srity. Our
duty is to give to our children that
rich heritage, the advantage of q
progressive school education. We
can only do this in the selection OF
competent teachers, and to do this,
we must first select competent dlrec-
tore. Let duty, not party feaity
govern your action on next election
day. Patterson. Feb. IL, 1895.

Attempted to Effect an Entrance Into
 Michael CurIey's on River Street.
 There was considerable excitement on River street last night in the vicinity ot the residence of Michael Curley. About II 30 o'clock after the saloon was closed, a party of six young men appeared in front of the house and indulged in an animated discussion One of the fellows accused another of picking his pocket whereupor the man thus accused drew a knife and made a vicious lunge at his ac- cuser. The rest of the party interfered and the weapon was wrenched from the hands of the infuriated man. Then all walked onto Liberty street and turned into the alley way between MT CurleY's saloon and the next building and tried to force the door. John McGinness, who lives up- stairs heard the noise and opening the window inquired what was the matter. At this the crowd disappeared down River street.
 About o'clock this morning Mrs Nora Mcdonald, who lives little south of MT Curley, heard noises on the verands and looking out saw crowd of men trying to open the front door. She aroused Bernard Keefe, who lives in tba same house, and then called for the police. Before anything could be done the fellows had the door blinds smashed into kindling wood. Just as Mir Keefe got out another man happened along and both chased the house breakers down River street as far as the rear of the Button shoE when they gave up the chase. One of the men was naked,

While driving to Quassapaug he passed a stranger who car. ried his coat on hIs arm. just over West Side hill If there is one thing kelly likes it Is company and he pulled up and ia vlted the stranger to ride. The latter climbed iuto the wagon without saying a word and Kelly lmmediately began to tell him ot the benefits of a protective tariff. The genial baker grew eloquent, but somehow failed to make an lmL ression Alter riding four miles Kelly stopped to take breath and then he nearly dropped dead when his companion said:
 ''Germany-two months-no speak "
 All the eloQuence had bet n wasted on the desert air. and to make matters worse Mir Kelly did not know what to do with his passenger.

 Then be accompanied the stranger as far as the highway. pointing to the telegraph wires. and then motioning in the direction of Waterbury The fellow started for home and Kelly hasn't seen him since. But before another tourist rides with him he must prove his ability to speak United States.
