Eonnsylvania's Junior senator Banqueted
in Philadelphia.

in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Feb 27.-The banquet
20 United States Senator Boies PEN
rose at horticultural hall last night
was a brilliant success. There We're
nearly 500 diners. Every county in the
state was represented, and all the pro-
fessions i'm the men around the table.
The event was under the auspices Of
the State League of Republican clubs,
and the president of the league, Isador
Sobel occupied the chair.
The only untoward circumstance
was the absence of Senator Quay. The
senior senator is a member of the sem
ate appropriations committee, and as
appropriation bills were the order Of
business at Washington last night he
had to stay there.
The dinner was opened with prayer
by Rev j. Gray Bolton, d. D. When
the coffee was reached President Sobel
introduced Mr.. Penrose, and he made a
speech outlining his proposed course in
congress. Other speakers were Con-
gressmen John B. Robinson, William
A. stone Robert Adams, Jr., and
J. d. Hicks, and State Senators Nc
Carrell, Goblin and Kennedy.
There We're many prominent Demo-
erats present. the one who attracted
most attention being, Of course, Will
lam r. Harrity. The banquet was not
over until long after midnight. Con-
sidering the great attendance, the ban
quet was the most successful ever
given in Philadelphia.

linger, who was released from the
Eastern penitentiary a few days ago,
after serving a twelve year sentence
for killing his wife, was locked up yes
terday on the charge Of threatening
to kill his first wife, whom he deserted
for the woman he murdered. Denim
ger attempted te enter the womans
home, but was refused admittance
when he proceeded to kick in the door.
He then wrote her a letter in which
he demanded that she meet him after
dark in some lonely place, and unat-
tended, and said unless she complied
she would be sorry for it. The woman,
who is again married, feared he con-
templated killing her, and therefore
had him arrested

1t happens to be settled fact that the p &
R. Railway will double track the greater part
Of the Little Schuylkill branch of the road.
The four and half miles from Zehners to
Tamaqua will have an additional track, while
the section from Port Clinton to Drehersville
will also be double-tracked This will leave
it single track from Reynolds to Drehersville
only and will greatly facilitate the move
ment of business which, it is expected will
be thrown over that branch when the Maha-
noy plane is abandoned, as now seems to be
conclusiyely settled it will be in the near

Enthusiasm ran high at Fergusons theatre
last might by the fair-sized audience that was
present to witness the production 'The Span
of Life" All the characters were excellently
portrayed and the cimaxes were very
realistic. The human span in the third act
took the house by storm and the entire com
pany was compelled to respond to a curtain
call. Such meritorious attractions as the
Span of Life" throughout the entire season
would keep many of our local theatre goers
from going to neighboring towns to witness
such attractions.

San francisco, July 20.-The Bulle-
tin says this evening that it has re-
ceived information that the navy de-
partment has determined not to be
caught mapping in the event of trouble
with Japan over the annexation of the
Hawaiian islands. All orders of the
department. which would have result
ed in moving ships of the Pacific and
Asiatic squadrons from headquarters to
distant points, have been temporarily
suspended. While the authorities at
Washington deny that there is any
effort to keep all available vessels at
ports where orders can reach them at
short notice, naval officers admit, that
such scheme is being carried out, and
that orders have been issued to, the
Asiatic squadron requiring the fleet to
make no move and hold itself in readi-
ness to return to the coast or proceed
to Hawaii on short notice.
The report that the coast defense
monitors Monadnock and Monterey
will be sent to Honolulu is denied, and
the statement is made that they will
be held on the coast.
Inquiries have been received at
Mare island from headquarters as to
the condition of the Baltimore, now
under repairs there, with view Of
putting her in commission in case of
emergency, although under ordinary
conditions she would not be ready for

AN OFFENSIVE ALLIANCE.

Spain and Japan Again Said to Be Com
bining Against the United States.
London, July ia Paris dispatch
to a newspaper here says that inquiry
at the American embassy there has

provides that in the event of aggressive
action on the part Of the United States,
tending toward interference in Cuban
affairs, or persistence in the annexation
of the Hawaiian islands, both Spain
and Japan shall declare war simultane-
ously against the United States, and
shall make hostile demonstrations along
both the Atlantic and Pacific coast lines
