The last report of the Secretary

little more than one-half of the pub
lie dom ain of the United States is
either reserved or appropriated.
The area still remaining vacant
amounts to 59I, ,343,953 acres, with
out including Alaska, which is sup

Military Strength of the Country.

The New York Snn prints a table
showing the aggregate organized mill
tary strength of the several states to
be II4,36a officers and men. An ad.
ditional table shows the aggregate
available number of men in the country
fit for military service to be 1o,4Is,-
7oI.
In this connection it will be inter-
esting to know, in view of the talk
about war these days, who will be SUBJ
ject to military duty. In Pennsylvania
the law provides that all able bodied
male citizens between the ages of FL
and As are liable to military duty,
with the following exceptions: Idiots,
lunatics, common drunkards, paupers,
and persons convicted of any infamous
crime. Also members of the legisla-
ture and the officers thereof; the Sec
retary of the commonwealth, attorney
general, state treasurer, surveyor gen
eral, auditor general, state librarian,
superintendent of common schools,
judges of the courts, sheriff, recorder
OF deeds, register of wills, prothono-
tary, district attorney and clerk of the
courts.

A curious question is being fought
over in the court at Atlantic City. A
professional photographer makes COM
plant that amateur kodak fends are
injuring his business because of the
facility with which they take snap
shots of everything picturesque about
the seaside resort. 1t does not appear
at ali that they sell these pictures,
but only take them for their own
pleasure. However the law may de-
eide, common sense is certainly on
the side of the amateur photographers.
The claim that anybody In America
has not the right to photograph any
thing he pleases, provided always the
owner of it is willing, is something too
paternal even for despotic govern
ment like Russia. Go on with your
snap shots, boys and girls.

For Congress.

Hon. Andrew L. Fritz, a prominent
attorney of Bloomsburg, has announc-
ed himself as candidate for congress
from this district, composed of the
counties of Columbia, Sullivan, Mon
tour and Northumberland. Mr.. Fritz had
a long and successful legislative career
as member of Legislature from this
county during sessions of 1885 and
1887, and also during tine sessions OF
1898 and 1895. At the session of
1895 he was chosen as the nominee
for speaker, which position gave him
the leadership of the Democratic side
of the House. During that session by
virtue of mis- position he served on
more important committees than any
other member,-among them were
ways and means, judiciary general and
appropriations. He was an honest,
conscientious, popular, and influential
member, had the confidence of all,
and was always found at his post work
ing against bad legislation. He was
faithful in his duty 10 the constitution
and to the people, and was an honor
to the state and county he represent
ed. He earned good reputation us a
legislator, both IN the committee
room and on the floor of the House
by advocating economy in the ex-
penditure of the public money and by
always standing by that which he be-
lieved to be right, and he will be re-
membered as one of the men who
stood at the helm of the state, earnest
ly working and talking against the
creation of new Offices and increase
of salaries. Having had an extended
legislative experience at Harrisburg,
he is now we'll qualified to take this
higher step. Mr.. Fritz is popular and
well acquainted with the people, and
should have no trouble in making the
nomination in the district.

JAPAN WILL HELP Us.
Has Offered Her Support In Case Of War
With Spain.

The destruction of the Maine may
lead directly to a realization OF
Japan's desire to possess the Phillip
pine Islands, if the United States
are forced to acquire Cuba and
Porto Rico. The state department,
at the instance of Japan, has deter
mined that there were seven Japan
ese subjects aboard the Maine, and
all were lost. If it is proven that
the wreck was due to treachery, it
is stated that the japanese govern
ment purposes to demand an indem-
nifty, re. inforcing the demand with
a naval demonstration at Manila.
This circumstance gives the United
States an unexpected and invaluable
ally i'll case of a rupture with Spain.
1t is stated that the Japanese
minister has pledged assurances of
japanese support in any emergency.
While it has not been accepted or
declined it is recognized that the
friendship of Japan would release
the United States from the neces-
sity of keeping some of her finest
vessels i'll Asiatic waters, thus add
ing them to the Atlantic force, in
suring the supremacy of the home
fleet against any threatened Spanish
raid on our coast.

TIE WAR CLOUD.

In spite of the jingo newspapers
there will not be war with Spain.
The President is holding the relns
with firm hand, and while war will
be avoided unless Spain forces us into
it, the honor of the United States will
be maintained. The events of the
past week have made no new develop
ments in the Maine disaster. Spain
requested the recall of Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee as our representative at Havana,
and President Mckinley promptly
refused, whereupon Spain withdrew its
request. Congress has passed bill
appropriating $50, 1000, 900 for defense,
without a dissenting vote, work at
all the Navy Yards is going on day
and night, and if war comes it will not
find us unprepared.

1t is a noteworthy fact that General
Miles, the head of the army. and
Adjutant General Corbln, the chief of
staff, are neither OF them West Point
graduates. Each made for himself a
brilliant record during the civil war
and renamed in the regular army at
the close of that war. Their promo
tion has been unexampled for steady
and rapid progress. Both have had
"luck" in their favor, if there is such
a thing as luck. Both are magnif-
cent appearing men physically. Cor
bin is compared in looks and bearing
to Hancock, the handsomest general
in the American army. In republic
1t is altogether fitting that citizen
who shows himself capable should be
able to rise to the highest military
rank, even without being ground out
of West Point.

Latest Story.
As to the Way tho Warship Maine Was De
stroyed.

The latest story as to the way the
Maine was blown up is contained in
a letter forwarded by a secret Cuban
club in Havana to J. M. Gown, a
Cuban insurgent agent at Key
West. The club received it in the
ordinary course of mail. 1t was
written in English, but was signed
"Maquinata" (Mathinist.)
After long preamble saying that
the writer knew the Maine's fate
was due to Spanish plot, the letter
goes on to say that i'll an old ware
house at Santa Catalina, 200 yards
from where the Maine was moored,
some diving apparatus had been
hidden, and that from this base two
divers had worked by night and
filled the torpedo holes ofthe Maine
with dynamite cartridges, connect
ing them with wire to the battery
on the land, from which the car
tridges exploded. According to the
letter the divers were to have been
paid a large sum, which has not
been forthcoming. The Cubans in
Key West say that investigation in
Havana has tended to confirm the
statements of the letter, which will
go before the court of inquiry.
An officer of the Maine, whose
attention was called to the story to.
day, asserted positively to this cor
respondent that the torpedo holes
of the Maine had not been opened
during her stay i'll the harbor.

NOTHING SLOW ABOUT THIs.v
An Interesting Fact Brought to Light by the
Maine Disaster.

The Maine catastrophe has brought
to light some interesting facts con-
corning the means employed by a
great newspaper to meet the de-
mands Of the public for quick, full
and accurate information concerning
that disaster. Although receiving
the complete report of the news
gathering organizations, "The
Philadelphia Press" is also giving
exclusively to its readers daily
dispatches from the most brilliant
corps of special correspondents and
artists ever massed on single piece
of news. This includes Ralph d.
Paine, Julian Hawthorne, Carl
Decker, Sylvester Scovel and Louis
Ruyl at Havana and Key West E.
J. Gibson and his assistants at
Washington ; Julian Ralph, at
London, and equally well-in- formed
representatives at the other points
at which news is likely to be OBJ
tanned. 1t is sometimes said that
Philadelphia is "slow," but there
is nothing slow in the enterprise
which enables 1.-THE Philadelphia
Press" to set up the claim that it is
leading all the other newspapers in
the country in the promptness and
reliability of its news about the
Maine, and that is the only news
paper which commands the services
of all the writers and artists named.

speech in the senate on his return
that will have great weight in deter
mining the future policy of the United
States. He is much affected by the
suffering that he found IN Mantanzas,
and highly indignant at what he calls
the 'inhumanity ofthe course pursued"
During visit to Artemisa, this pro-
vince, he saw thousands of reconcen-
trados, who refused to beg, though
starving.
They are evidently of class accus-
toned to make their own living and
unwilling to become paupers. He
saw thousands of acres of the best
tobacco and banana lands in the
world reduced to waste, with trochas
and garrisons at every village and
cross roads. His drivers pointing to
the mountains fifteen miles away,
said
"There are plenty of insurgents
camps there that the Spanish have
never discovered.
The work of distribution of Ameri-
can relief under Miss Clara Barton,
Mr. Elwell and their assistants is IN
Senator Proctor's judgment, carefully
and effectively carried on. The de.
mand Is far in excess of the supply.
The supplies expected at Matanzas
and Sagua la Grande, to be brough,
by American cruisers, will afford un-
speakable relief.

Method of Procedure In Case Of Hostilities.

AS the conviction becomes settled
that the court of inquiry will decide
that there was mine explosion under
the 'Maine," discussion among
American naval officers and civilians
here is prevalent as to the warlike
measures which it is believed the
United States government will adopt
in case the question of the payment of
indemnity by Spain is overruled.
A majority believe that American
troops will be landed at some point
east of Havana and the insurgents
communicated with, that the Spanish
soldiery will be defeated or captured
in detail, and that in the meantime
a fleet of United States vessels will
blockade, If not lombard Havana.
No one seems to doubt that the re-
duction of this city would be compara-
lively easy. -Four twenty-inch guLs-
two west and two east of the city
are the only ones that are considered
dangerous. These are not likely to
be we'll served, while their emplace-
ments are not modern. That some
Spaniards are of opinion that an at
tack on Havana will be made is be-
lieved to be shown by the abnormal
activity displayed on board the "Viz-
caya." The Associated Press cor
respondent has the best naval author
ity for the statement that the "Viz-
caya" is in constant state of readi.
ness for emergencies and that picket
boats are on the alert day and night
inside the harbor and outside the har-
Dor at night.
DIVERS MYSTERIOUS CONDUCT.
The conduct of the Spanish divers
who are investigating the wreck of the
S.Maine" is mystery. Thus far they
haye not been down five hours in the
aggregate, and they show no DISPOSE
ti4n to make thorough inquiry. 1t
isl impossible to learn the truth fully
regarding the purpose of the Spanish
court of inquiry, but it is generally be
lieved that the divers were sent down
for forms sake only and that report
will be made in accordance with IN
structions from Madrid.
1t may be that the Spanish divers
have discovered that the whole port ,
side OF the "Maine" forward is gone
and, having so reported. further ex.
animation is deemed unnecessary.
The work of our own divers hencefor-
ward is bound to be slow, owing to |
the ponderous weights to be moved, !
and the safety clamps, nuts and rivets
that must be cut.
Senator Proctor is likely to make
