HARRITY'S ANSWER
To the Charges That lie Was Not in Accord
With Democratic Principles and Policy

To the Charges That lie Was Not in Accord
With Democratic Principles and Policy
Philadelphia, Pa, April 1a.-Wil-
liam T. Harrity's answer to the charge
Of Democratic Chairman Carman and
others, upon which his removal from
the Democratic National Committee
has been demanded, alcng with letters
and extracts from newspapers bearing
on the case, all Of which have been
submitted TO National Chairman
Jones, has been published in pamphlet
form and circulated among the leading
Democratic politicians throughout the
State, and also sent TO the members OF
the National Committee for their peru
sal.
In his pamphlet Mr. Harrity denies
the right Of the Democratic State Com
mittee and convention rc recall him
from membership in the National
Committee and says that the power
70 make removals is vested in the Ma
tional Committee alone He claims he
was ready to perform, any and every
duty assigned to him as a National
Committeeman by the Democratic Ma
tlOnal Committee or its officers.
The allegations made by State
Chairman Garman, he declares. are
false, with one exception. He did re-
fuse TO contribute to the State cam
paign fund because OF want Of conf
dence in Mr.. Garman's management,
but he did give money TO the city cam
paign fund.
Mr.. Harrity contends that he is suf-
fic.ently in accord with all the princi-
pies OF the party TO support its candi-
date, and that he is entitled TO retain
membership in the committee until his
successor is elected in 1900.

Cincinnati Commercial -Tribure
Colonel Thomas K. Sharp, now con-
nected with the engineering depart

enjoys the distinction OF having pick
ed up bodily and transported across
the country during the war Of the re-
bellion nineteen locomotives, over a
hundred freight cars. and vast guam
t1ty OF railroad iron, all OF which did
enectiye service for the 1ide Of the
South. Even to railroad men and en-
gineers the feat is so remarkable and
difficult that wherever he goes Colonel
Sharp is admiringly looked upon and
referred to as the man who succeeded
in stealing railroad and bodily car
rying it away with him.
The opportunity for the raid oc-

TRUSTS SPAIN.
The President Sill Hopes War May
Be Ayertsd and Believes SPANS
Latest Mov5 is Sincere.

Washington, April Zone of the
Presidents callers after leaving the
White House said that the President
has a feeling of greater confidence that
there will be some satisfactory settle
ment of the Cuban affair without resort
to open hostilities. He believes, this
gentleman said, in the sincerity Of the
Spanish government in its position now
taken looking 10 reforming the condi-
ton of affairs in Cuba, and that such
results may be achieved by steps to be
taken by Spain as 10 avert what he has
at times believed to be inevitable
Senator Warren, of Wyoming, had a
talk with the President He said he
was inclined TO doubt the gal inten-
lions Of Spain. but in a matter of so
grave a charcter he favored delibera-
ton. When a nation goes to war, he
added, it should exercise the greatest
caution to place itself on such solid
basis as to furnish the most satisfac-
tory grounds for consideration of pow
ers outside the two participating ma
lions in the conflict Whether there
would be war in the light of the present
situation he did not say but if it was
unavoidable he advocated waiting long
enough, despite natural denunciation
and discomfort at delay. to make up a
complete case TO satisfy any doubling
nation.
Senator Elkns. of West Virginia,
Representative Lands. of Indiana, and
Representative Barrett, Of Massachu-
sets. were among the few who put in
an appearance at the White House dur
ing the day.

AG4L1Ou Oh Gsc1ili D
II has often been discussed by outside
people why railroad clerks and agents
do not form an organization of their
own which would be on footing with
other railway organizations. Such a
move made the right way could be
successfully accomplished and it would
mean a great deal to the clerks if the
organization was formed. With many
lines the employees receive good wages
and have good hours to work, but this
would be no excuse for them not being
members Of an organization. There
are roads also which do not pay good
wages from the simple reason that the
superintendent OF the divisions won't
recommend the money being spent in
this manner. On one certain big rail-
road line il can positively be proven
that the clerks wages on TWO dIyIs-
ions are much lower than any part Of
the remainder of the road. This was
brought about by an employe who has
since left the service reducing the pay
Of the men. and they have never made
a demand in the right channel for the
increase. Railroad clerks owe it 10
themselves TO unite, and they should
stick together, and il is an even
thing if they would state their griev-
ance TO the high officials they would set
the recognition they deserve in all mat
tiers of importance. Il is 10 be hoped
that the railroad men will take up this
matter and in the near future may there
be an organization that will be great
benefit 10 every employe who makes
his living in this manner.

Formal Surrender Makes the Island

At noon Tuesday the United States flag
was raised upon the captain generals
palace at FL MORO, San Juan, Porto Rico,
and the final ceremony of the delivery of
the island to the United States Govern
ment was performed. National salutes
were fred by the American artillery, and
there was a special musical celebration
which was attended by all the insular Off
Gals and the foreign consuls. Gen. Brooke
has plenary powers and will remain in sole
charge Of the government Of the island
until such time as military governor Is
designated by the President.
1t was originally intended to have the
ceremonies in connection with the formal
taking. possession of an elaborate nature,
but this plan was abandoned. Consider
ing the enfeebled condition Of the troops
and the intense heat, it was decided to
have no military review. The formal sur
render therefore consisted simply of the
lowering of the Spanish flag over the gov
ernor generals palace and the raising OF
the flag of the United States, while sa-
lutte of forty-four guns doomed in the har-
Dor and martial music filled the city. In
the evening there were various forms OF
celebration both among the Americans
and by the Porto Ricans, henceforth a
free people, recognizing as their flag the

manners. he

and was a favorite with the ladies. 1t is
said that several young ladies Of excellent
families, at various times, won his heart
and hoped to wed him, but he proved cru
ely false. One of them pinned, grew mel
ancholy and died.
The affair which is commonly believed
to have led to the tragedy began six years
ago, when Mrs. Annie George moved to
Canton and opened dressmaking estab-
lshment in the block owned by SaXton.
She was attractive of face and had be-
witching form. Her husband was an hon
est, industrious man, who furnished a
shabby contrast to the polish Of Saxton.
The dressmaker and her landlord were
soon on friendly terms. The gossips used
their names a good deal and finally Mrs.
George went to Dakota and secured di-
vorce from her husband. She always said
and few disbeleyed her statement-that
Saxton paid the expenses, and, further
more, that he was going to marry her ulti-
mately. When the husband learned that
he had become a domestic has-been by
decree of Dakota court, he brought suit
against Saxton for 100000 for aliena ting
his wife's affections. This suit was COM
promised when Saxton paid George ST.
S25.
Meanwhile Saxton and Mrs. George had
had trouble. They finally got to quarrel
ing over rents and articles of furniture
and the cases were aired in the local
courts of Canton. Then Mrs. George be-
gan to say that she would get revenge;
that SaNton had promised to marry her
and that-so it is said by one or two per-
sons-she would kill him if he did not do
so. She carried her threats further and
recently was arrested upon charge made
by Mrs. Eva B. Althouse, a friend Of
Saxton, that she had threatened violence
and death to Mrs. Aithouse.
The evening of the tragedy, shortly af-
ter dark, Saxton rode on his bicycle from
his place of business to the home of Mrs.
Althouse, on Lincoln avenue. Saxton
dsmounted, leaned his wheel against the
curbstone and started across the sidewalk
