Aiacchus' Advice.
He who loves his fellow man will do
well TO look out for bunco steerers, es-
peclally about election time.
Some one ought TO discover Candidate
Atherton before the ballot boxes are
closed tomorrow night. Unless something
is done soon he probably will not feel
that the results are close enough for an
election contest.

The gratitude of Lackawanna Re-
publicans belongs to the three visiting
orators, Messrs. Schaeffer, Maust and
Snyder, who generously consented to
participate in the recent campaign of
education in this county. Their ad-
dresses have been brilliant, instructive
and very effective in arousing the spirit
of militant Republicanism, and they
may hereafter rest assured of warm
welcome in these parts.

WORSE THAN FiEND.

North Dakota Brute Murders a Woman's
Children to Compel Her Submission.
LARIMoRE, n. D., May 3.-A double
murder took place at the residence of
Knute Hillstead, a prominent farmer
residing eight miles west of here, at
one o'clock this morning. August Nor
man, a young man well known in this
section, who had been making his home
ut Hillstead's, off and on, came there
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Hillstead be-
ing absent, he wanted to stay all night.
About one o'clock Norman went to
Mrs. Hillstead's room and de-
manded admission. She blocked
the door, and he said he would
kill all the family if she did not
admit him. She refused, and Norman
procured razor, went up stairs and
cut the throat of Peter K. Hillstead,
aged Is. He then went down stairs
and tried to get into Mrs Hillstead's
room again, but she had blocked the
door. He then proceeded to carve the
13-months-old son, Thomas, after which
he cut the Threats of Adolph and Oscar,
aged IL and three. He then forced his
way into Mrs. Hi1lstead's bedroom and
assaulted her, promising to not kill
her and the two little girls. The two
oldest sons are still alive, with but
little hopes of recovery. After doing
the murders he stole one of the horses
and is still at large.

The Senate Passes the Measure-The Tariff
Bill Reported.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-When the sem
ate finance committee met yesterday a

to report the bill at once and the vote
was taken promptly. All the repub-
Hcans, with Senator Jones, of Nevada,
voted for the motion and all the demo-

Tuesday, May IS. It will go into effect
July 1. The republican members of
the committee say there is no state
ment to be made now as to the effect
of the bill, the amount of revenue to
be raised by it or the reductions. When
the bill is taken up in the senate, Mr..
Aldrich will make such statement in
the opening speech. st will raise
revenue enough" was the comment of
Senator Allison.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, the
democratic tariff leader, said that he ex-
pected there would be about six weeks
debate on the bill. The new bill is
radically different from the Dingley
bill, practically amounting almost to
another measure. Many important
schedules are rewritten entirely.
The bill 70 provide free homes on
the public lands for actual and bona

FOR FREE COINAGE.
Silver Democrats in the Senate May Force
a Measure Through.


q Measure Through.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-Repub1ican
house leaders say that within the
last few days a movement has been on
foot among the democratic leaders Of
the house to induce the free coinage
majority in the senate to force the
money question upon congress by the
early report from the finance commit
tee of free coinage bill and its prompt
passage through the senate. Repre-
sentative Richardson, of Tennessee, is
one of those who have been urging
this policy. He said that in his judg-
ment the free silver men of the senate
should not hesitate moment in push
ing through for transmission to the
house a bill for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. This plan presup-
poses. of course, the appointment of
committees by the speaker, and has
doubtless been formulated to force his
hand. The only effect it has produced
has been to make Mr.. Reed more firmly
convinced of the lack of wisdom of Civ
ing the house a chance to enter upon
general legislation, and to confirm him
in his determination to appoint none
of the committees, the constitution of
which would be necessary prerequis-
lite to legislative action upon a number
of subjects for the consideration of
which members are clamOrouS.

Balloon in Few Weeks.
PARIS, May 3.-The balloon expedi-
ton of NJ Andree will leave Gothen-
burg May Is for Spitzbergen, whence
he will try to make his proposed air
voyage to the pole. The gas bag has
been enlarged by cutting it through
out its entire circumference about
the middle and inserting a zone of new
silk 81 inches high. This will make
the balloon about that much longer,
and will add about 10, 600 cubic feet to
its capacity, bringing the total volume
of the balloon up to 1906 cubic feet
and making it one of the largest ever
constructed.

She Hopes That Commercial Treaties May

WASHINGTON, May 4--Onited States
Consul Monahan at Chemnitz, in a re-
port to the state department says that
Germany just now is very much excited
about the proposed new tariff act for
the United States. Reciprocity is re-
garded as the only way in which to
keep commerce with safe and sure
lines Hopes are expressed that COM
mercial treaties may be made between
the United States and Germany, but
the consul feels that there is little
market there for American manufac-
tured products and believes that were
our manufacturers to make half the
effort in Russia, South America and
the east that would be necessary in
Germany, the returns would be five
times as great.

Concerning the Situation.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Official reports
have recently come to the state depart
ment regarding starvation and misery
in Cuba and Secretary Sherman has
sent instructions to all the consular
officers in Cuba requesting detailed re-
ports as to the situation in their dis
tricts. In the course of a confidential
report from Matanzas, United States
Consul Brice said: ''Over 1000 per-
sons have been concentrated at this
place, three-quarters of whom are en-
tirely without means of support, wom-
en- and children are dying on the
streets from starvation. Among
these people there are several Amer
leans. Yellow fever, smallpox and other
diseases are prevalent All this is
the result of Gen. Wey1er's inhuman
policy. Aid for these sufferers should
promptly come from the United States. %
Other reports of similar character
have been received from the regularly
accredited agents of the United States
and have been placed before President

While no comparisons between the
naval strength of the United States

ports that Germany is little if any
ahead of the United States in the size

Russia continue to outrank the United
States, but with the battleships now
being built, Russia will soon lose the

LONDON, May 5.-The Athens CORE

met sat Tuesday hearing the reports

resolved to continue the war. The de-
cision of the government is moment
Gus, but it is difficult to say whether it
is absolutely inal.' The difficulty of
saying what has actually occurred
at the seat of war continues, but
the presumption from the known
facts of the military situation is
that Edhem Pasha is feeling the
Greek position at Pharsalos, prepar-
atory to delivering a general at
tack. Edhem Pasha's repeated as
saults on the wings of the Greek forma-
ton have probably the object of com
polling Prince Constantine to send
them reinforcements and thus weaken
his center at Pharsalos. We may
soon, therefore, expect to hear that
Edhem Pasha has struck hard at this,
weakened point. It looks as though
Greece were giving up the game of
Crete. Greece may thus regain the

of hundreds of lives. All the islands
in the group are said to have been
affected. The loss of life has been
very large, but at this time. owing to
the imperfect means of comnunicat ii on
between the islands, It is impossible to
estimate it definitely. Many buildings
collapsed during the most serious
shock, which occurred yesterday morn
ing and lasted 40 seconds. The dam
age to property will probably prove to
