Spain Takes the ssO,OOO,O 900.

Spain has accepted the United
States offer of s2O,OOO,0OO and at a
joint session of the peace commissions
Monday consented without condition
to relenquish Cuba and to cede Porto
Rico, Guam and the Philippine
Islands.
The document presenting this ac'
ceptance contained only 800 words.
1t opened with reference to the final
terms of the United States and said
that the Spanish commissioners, after
having taken cognizance of the terms
proposed by the Americans, replied
that their government had tried to
give as equitable an answer as posi-
BILE, but that they we're not prepared
to commit their government to the
acceptance Of the principles embodied
10 the American arguments. Spain
rejects these principles, the note con.
times, "as she always has rejected
them" Bssing her attitude upon the
Justice of her cause, the note then
says, she still adheres to these princi.
Piles, (which she has heretofore inva.
riably formulated"
However, the note adds, in her de-
sire for peace she has gone so far as
to propose certain compromises, which
the Americans have always rejected.
She has also attempted, it is further
asserted, to have submitted to arbi.
tralion some of the material particu.
lars upon which the two governments
offered. These proposals for arbi.
tration, it is added. the" Americans
had equally rejected. After much
grimmacirg the Spaniards come to
the conclusion that they will accept
the terms of the United States as the
best to be had, and the peace docu.
ment, which has been practically com,
pleted, will be signed by the commits
sioners representing both govern
ments to-day.

Told About Rattlesnake Pete.

Last Wednesdays New York Journal
contained the following, which will be
interesting to many oil region friends of
Pete Gruber: AT 0 o'clock an interest
ing visitor 10 the snake show walked
quietly in. The newcomer was Pete
Gurber, of Rochester, known throughout
the Mohawk Valley as 'Rattlesnake
Pete So modest was Pete that his pres
ence became known only through the
need Oft. A large box of rattlers had
been sent from Connecticut. Manager
Williams was at a loss to know how to
get the deadly visitors from the box to
a glass fronted cage which had been built
to receive them. The crowd pushed for
ward and eagerly gazed at the box and
its contents, which were visible beneath
a wire screen. When the job was about
to be given up Gruber stepped up, seized
a Ratchet, whacked the wire screen and
plunged his hand into the den of death.
The snakes ratified ominously and the
crowd held its breath. Gruber seized
the first rattlesnako he came to, yanked
him out by the tail and swung him into
the case, This performance was repeated
until all the reptiles had been put into
their new quarters. So interested was
the crowd that the men and women who
were in front were crowded forward until
but few inches separated them from the
rattlesnakes.n

selves that they are reformers, and
that they are helping to bring about

Pennsylvania's Schools.

DR.. N. c. Schaeffer, superintend.
ent of public instruction, has made
public the advance sheets Of his an.
nual report for the fiscal year ending
May 81 last He reports a marked
increase in the number and size of
the libraries established and main.
tanned in connection with the public
schools. State Superintendent Schaef.
fer also reports that the new law of
the distribution OF the public school
fund is success. The increase in
the amount received under the new
basis of distributing the fund occurred
in districts in which the average per
school was and still is lower than the
district that suffered decrease.
He is unable 10 tell, however, the
effects upon the length of the term
and salaries paid to the teachers En-.
couraging reports have been received
from many of the districts in the
State and DR.. Scha1er promises full
returns 10 his next annual report.
H says that in large number of
counties the teachers receive less pay
per year than it would cost the coun.
ty officials to keep the same teachers
in their aims houses. He quotes fig.
ures obtained from superintendent
throughout the State to disprove the
assertions often made that so per
cent. of those who enter the primary
grade remain less than two years.
DR.. Schaeffer says that teachers
should know more than they teach

SOME newspapers have stated that
after March 4, for the first time in
the history of the ssate, there will be
two Republicans representing New

to March 1869 the Senators from
New jersey we're Frederick T. Ere.

both Republicans. For many years
Ohio had Senators of opposite faiths,
but she has changed at last. Twice
since 1851 has Pennsylvania had a
Democratic Senator. But New Jer.

to have two Republican Senators is a

Senator Quay's Strength.

In the Senate there are so votes
either actually pledged to Quay or
elected in his interests, and there is
no doubt concerning any of them.
This number does not include Mar.
tin, Magee, Finn and those whom
they contrll Iu the House there are
80 members pledged to or elected for
Quay, and these 80 do not count the
8 whom Magee controls in Allegheny
or the 19 Martin men from Philadel.
phia or the. Fusionists and Wana.
maker following. Quay therefore
starts with solid body of l22 sup.
porters, or majority of 40 in the
caucus.
As it requires 12S to elect Sena.
tor on joint ballot, and Quay has 122
bedrock supporters without the aid
of either Martin or Magee's friends,
his election would seem to be as Ger.
tain as anything can be in politics.
The position of Senator Magee has
been defined publicly by Mr.. Magee
himself, He will not vote for Quay
in the caucus, but he will vote in the
Legislature for the nominee of the
caucus. The II votes in Allegheny
county in Senate and House will
alone give Quay the election, there.
fore, and it is not 10 be presumed for
a minute that the Martin following
in Philadelphia, which prides itself
upon regularity, will bolt the caucus
Indeed, Mr.. Martin, in his speech ac.
cepting the nomination for State Sen.
ator, declared that he was a patty
man and would always be governed
by party caucus decisions.
All this talk of combination in
the House to elect a Democratic
speaker is also absurd. A majority
ofthe entire membership is 103, and
the Quay following alone is 80.
When speaker is nominated by the
Republican caucus the Martin and
Magee following, being solidly Re.
publican, will support the nominee,
and those who believe otherwise are
simply wasting their time.
1t IS bit interesting to note the
extent of the Wanamaker following
in the Legislature among the Repub.
licans. 1t is true that as a result of
fusion deals and the assaults upon
the Republican party varions dis.
tricts ware lost and Democrats elec.
ted, but the Republican members

Wanamaker. Van Valkenberg move.
ment numbers II, as follows: One in
Blair county, two in Chester, one in
Clearfeld, two in Montgomery,two in
Somerset, two in Tioga, and one in
Wayne. As the three mem bers from
Chester and Blair counties cannot
participate in Republican caucuses
and are Democrats or Swallowcrats
TO all intents and purposes, Mr.

er the wool growers of the United

ed. If there was one thing more than
another that condemned the Wilson
law in the eyes of the Am ericon peo.
pie that one thing was its free wool
clause. The question is dead and
buried. 1t will never be resurrected
No party platform will ever again
advocate free trade in wool. There
may be honest differences of opinion
as to the amount of duty to be levied
upon the imported wool for protec.
tive purposes, but as to the main
question, whether wool should be
protected, it has been settled in the
affirmative once for all. The farmer
who sold his sheep for 30 cents or 81
per head under the Democratic free
trade law three years ago, and who is
now selling lambs at 1925 per head
under the Republican protective law,

The Speakership.

Hon. w. o. Smith of the Punxsu-
tawney Spirit goes over the list of
probable candidates for the Speaker
ship of the incoming House of Repre-.
sentatives at Harrisburg and gives
the following pen pictures ofthe men,
which are as true to life as could well
be painted, Quoting from the Phila.
Press an item regarding the candida
cy of Coray, the Luzerne county IRE.
former" Mr. Smith says:
Mr.. Coray is no doubt honest
enough, but not more so than a hun.
dred others. He is not bad sort of
a fellow, but he stands no more
chance to be Speaker o. the House
than he does to be Viceroy Of Hal.
darabad. Mr. Coray is thin, dys.
peptic looking man of about forty,
with face as solemn as the Doxolo.
gy. He seldom smiles and rarely
speaks to anybody. His countenance
is sad aud he sits from morn till eve
looking aud listening for something
to amend or to oppose. Then he
raises his hand like tne ghost in
Hamlet and solemnly stalks down
the aisle pointing his finger at the
Speaker, and, in voice like the
soothsayer warning Julius Caesar to
"beware the ides of March," he states
his point. And it is seldom worth
making. Que day when Mr.. COray
had marched down the aisle in this
manner for the third or fourth time,
Representative Lytle, of Huntingdon,
leaned over in his seat and said,
laughing; There is gentleman
who goes to mill oftener aud brings
home less grist than any other man
in the House" As we said before,
the Hon. E. A. Clray perhaps mean
we'll enough, but he could not com
mand the support of his colleagues
for Speaker,
Perhaps the keenest aad brightest
man in the House who aspires to the
Speakersbip is The Hon. Ward r
Bliss, of Delaware county. But Mr.
Bliss was not always regarded as one
.ntirely above assimilation, "who
would not fatter Neptune for his tri-
dent or Jove for his power of thun
der" In other words, Mr.. Bliss does
not possess the foil confidence Of the
House.
The Hon. Frank B. McClain, OF
Lancaster, is a young man of ability
and genial qualities, but he is little
spectacular at times and makes
grandiloquent speeches, which heseems
to have practiced efore the glass,
Hence he would have a serious OBJ.
stacle to overcome.
William T. Marshall, of Allie.
gheny, while making no pretentions
to bril- fancy or profound eruditioD
is we'll versed in the routine work OF
the House, is tireless in his energy
aud possesses good, hard, common
sense. He is quiet, but genial, and q
very modest gentleman, who has the
respect and confidence Of everybody
He would hustle business through
without unnecessary delay.
Hon. Charles E. Voorhees,, of Phil.
adelphia, who has been Resident
Clerk and Chief Clerk OF the House
for ten years, is perhaps the best post
ed of aOy of the candidates on parli.
menta y rules and legislative pro.
cedure But Charley is a politician
of the ultra type, and might be re-
garded as "too slick" for ferfectly
impartial presiding officer.
Everything considered, and with
out reference to factioDal divisions,
we would regard Hon. w. T. Mar.
shall as the most likely man for
Speaker.
