In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The senate
spent the entire day on the appro-
priation bill, but did not complete it.
The bill served TO bring out some
sharp criticisms by Senator German
on the administration of the postof-
flee department and by Senator Allen
on alleged irregularities resulting from
the civil service system. Mr.. Allen
repeated sensational charges as to
large money contributions said to have
been made in the interest of Mr.
Cleveland and Mr.. Harrison. The
charge that Mr.. Wannamaker con-
tributed $780, 900 toward Mr.. Harrison
election led to an emphatic denial from
Mr.. Hawley. who alluded to the presi-
dent as 'ihis majesty and as the
"chief mugwump" of the country The
vote on the postoffice bill will be taken
tomorrow.

A. P. A.
MunicipaI Election at Butte Re-
suited in an Almost Complete An
inhalation of the Order.


BUTTE. Mont. April s.-The municipal
election today resulted in an almost COM
plete humiliation of the a. p. a. ticket,
the opposition carrying five out of eight
wards. whereas last year the A. P. A. S
carried seven wards and elected the
mayor. This spring they were SO conf
dent of their position that they defied all
political precedents and held convention
under the name of the Republican party,
and divided the nominations among noted
Republicans and Democratic members of
the order The opposition was a straight
Democratic ticket. Butte has always
been an A. P A. stronghold. Reports OF
A. P. A. defeats also come from every
other CITY in the state.

At once.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The Cuban
resolutions will be brought to the at
tention of the president tomorrow by
the secretary of the senate, who will
present an engrossed copy of the docu-
ment. Ordinarily concurrent resolu-
tions are not forwarded to the presi-
dent, as they do not require his sig
nature, but these resolutions will be
laid before him, as the Armenian res
olutions were, because they express the
opinion that he should tender the offices
of the United States to Spain for the
recognition of Cuban independence and
are. therefore, a direction to him in SO
far as congress can direct the presi-
dent in such proceeding.

Our view, and it has been the view of
all our predecessors. is that no officer
of our church, especially those in high
standing, should take a course to vio-
late this ong-established practice.
Rather than disobey it, and declare
himself by his actions defantly indie
pendent of his associates and his file
leaders, it has always been held that
it would be better for a man to resign
the duties of his priesthood; and We
entertain the same view today.

Republicans Organize in Kingsley.

Last Saturday evening the Republicans
of Kinssley township, organized Nc
Kinley club, the meeting being held in
Bauer's hall, at Kellettville. The follow
ing officers were elected President, DR..
G. Y. Detar; 1st Vice President, Il. u.
Gillespie; I'd Vice President, Richard
Ledebur; Secretary, John Shaw; Treas
urer, A. II. Downing; with strong and
active Executive Committee. The rain
in the afternoon and the threatening
weather of the evening kept large num-
ber from attending, yet there was very
good-sized crowd present notwithstand-
ing these disadvantages, and the number
enrolled as members for a starter was
over seventy-fve, a remarkably fine
showing for such short notice and little
preparation.
Three or four of Tionesta's enthusias-
tic club members were present, among
them Hon. Charles A. Randall, who was
called upon and responded in very en-
couraging little speech of fifteen or tweu-
ty minutes, in which he touched up the
different phases of the ensuing cam
paign, and complimenting the club on
its excellent showing. The meeting ad-
journed shortly after 10 o'clock in order
to allow those from a distance to reach
home. The name of the new organiza-
tion is the Mckinley Club of Kingsley
Township. Kingsley township contains
host of active, wide-awake and earnest
young Republicans, who are always
found with their hustling clothes on dur
ing a campaign, and this year they are, if
possible, more alive than ever, and will
be found in the forefront doing battle for
the cause of honest money, protection,
prosperity and good sound government.
The executive committee will meet to-
night to arrange for the completion of the
organization.
