Washington, Sept. 15-The contest
over tn. control of the 56th congress
promises to be an interesting one. Both

Origin Of The Term Admiral.

"A contemporary" says the New
York Times, complains of rear ad-
miral,' as an inapt title for a man SO
eminently qualified for keeping in the
front as is the conquerer of Manila.
The point is not i'll taken, but designa-
tions ofrank are queer anyhow, and
few of them will stand examination by
philologlsts. And Admiral itself,
which this critic claims for his hero,
is about the queerest OF the lot. The
word is the remnant of an Arabic
phrase, of which the beginning was
'ameer,' or 'emir,' and 1t came to us
alas, that the truth must be told =
straight from Spain. 'Amir-a -al-bahr'
meant ruler of the sea- When the
'bahr' was dropped, of course, the
article should have gone too, but it
didn't, and when some overwise per-
son put in ID because he thought
be knew the word was Latin, it be-
came as absurd a muddle as the die
tionary contains-which is saying a
good deal"

q. E. Davis for Congress.

The Democrats of the Seventeenth
district will have an excellent chance
to elect their candidate for Congress
this year If a wise nomination is made.
Monroe H. Kulp's popularity two
years ago over Alphonsus Walsh was
I,I22. Kulp then carried Northum-
berland county by 1886 and Sullivan
county by a bare II. Walsh won
Columbia by I,2II and Montour by
70. Under existing conditions it is
believed popular democrat like
Harry E. Davis of Sunbury could win.
He could come near to wiping out
the Northumberland majority OF Kulp,
if he could not do it altogether. The
district is naturally Democratic and
the belief is widespread that if Mr..
Davis would stand for the nomination
he would bring it back to its old moor.

Starvation Near Havana,
Carloads Of Dead Reconc entradoes Taken
Daily Through the Spanish Lines.

A tale of great suffering in Havana
was brought to Key West, by Major
Lima, inspector of the northern coast
of Cuba of the Cuban army under
General Alexander Rodriguez, who
arrived last week with four officers OF
his staff.
Major Lima was taken off the coast
OF Cuba between Del Norte and
Cojimar by United States gunboat,
and was transferred to torpedoboat,
which vessel brought him here. The
Major is the bearer of dispatches fol-
the United States military authorities
asking for the cooperation of the latter
and seeking arms and supplies. He

concentrates who have died from lack
of food are taken daily through the
Spanish lines. The bodies are thrown
together in piles, without any form O

around Havana are gathering strength
every day, but he explains that they
are IN need of supplies.

Our States Name.
The Penn Part Was Welsh and Denoted a

tic held in common with others. The
Delaware Indians appreciated this
when, instead of merely making a
translation of the name Penn into
their language, they translated it by
their own word meaning feather. In
they were wrong. While our own
English word pen is derived from a
Latin word signlBing feather, and
the natives merely reversed the trans
fer of the meaning, they were mis-,
taken in supposing that the family
name of Penn was English. 1t was
Welsh and denoted highland as is
shown in many names of places, such
as Penrith. The name was transferr-
ed to England, but is there spelled
penn while in Wales it is always
pen
This difference of spelling gives us
new insight into the early history of
our State. The Penn family, though
Of Welsh descent, on their removal to
England, adopted the double ~
The colony was named after Sir
William Penn, the father of the foun-
der, with the addition of 'sylvania,' or
woodland. This was done in opposi-
ton to his son, who wished to call it
New Wales or Sylvania, fearing that
the present name would seem to mark
a vanity on his own part. The name
was written Pennsylvania on all Off
cial documents of PENIS own family,
and in letters from the colony, it is
most frequently spelled Pennsylvania.
This fact can only be accounted for
in one way. A large proportion of fthe
early settlers about Philadelphia were
Welsh, and preferred their own SPELL
ing to the English, habit which the
Penn family themselves often slipped
nto.

Claims Of Republicans.
The ScaIy Scheme Of the Godbug Partisans
to BamboozIe the People.

Congressman Grosvenor said up
on the floor of the house that this
was going to be Republican,
war;" Senator Hale, of Maine,
said upon the floor of the senate
that in the event of war "the coun-
try would not turn to the Demo-
cratic party, and the flag of the
United States would not be carried
by that party, but by that gallant
soldier and statesman, the president
of the United States. He would
conduct the war and bring it to a
successful conclusion. Under such
circumstances why are the Republi-
cans so anxious that the Democrats
in congress should vote for war
measures proposed by such men as
Dingley, Hale and Grosvenor ? If
this is to be a Republican war"
why don't the Republicans go right
abe ad and carry it OH without ask
ing the aid of the Democrats ? AS
a matter of fact, Republican parti-
sanship is at the bottom of all this
talk. The Republicans have two
objects in view They wish to
make the war an excuse for passing
bills in favor of the gold standard,
and they desire to claim all the
credit for carrying on the war be-
cause they know the people are in
favor of the war. Senator Hanna
said few days ago that "only
loafers and tramps wanted war.
Now the Republican party wants
war and wants all the credit of con-
Quoting it, Hanna will have to
amend his statement, or adhering
to it, characterize the Republican
party and all the soldiers and
sailors in the service Of this coun-
try as "loafers and tramps. F."
Hanna, Hale and Grosvenor are
poor politicians and worse patriots.
The Republican party has been
forced by the people to defend the
honor of this country. They are
doing it with a bad grace, but,
thanks to the Democrats in con-
gress, they are doing it.-Es.

O0NTRABAND OF WAR.
What Is Meant by the Expression Now in
Frequent Use.

AS there is much misunderstand-
ing as to the exact meaning of this
expression, 1--WE reproduce the fol-
lowing authentic definition
Contraband of war-In determin-
ing, according to the law of nations,
whether merchandise is or is not
contraband of war, it is classified as:
I. Absolute contraband.
2. Occasional or conditional con-
traband.
8. Goods not contraband.
The first class includes all goods
of an essentially warlike character.
The second class includes pro-
visions, naval stores, coal, horses,
certain kinds of machinery, certain
forms of steel, iron, ETC., which are
subservient to warlike use, and
which are destined for the use of
the enemy. They are contraband
or not according to occasions and
conditions as to their character,
shipment and destined use. Every
such case depends OH its facts.
The third class includes articles
not suitable to warlike use, such as
church service and musical instru-
ments, household wares and goods,
and other such like articles, to-
gether with many that are purely
mercantile in character.
No article of merchandise is con-
traband unless transported beyond
the territorial waters and jurisdic-
ton of neutral state, nor unless
destined for an enemy's port, or for
an enemy's Use, or for an enemy's
ship upon the high seas, which
belligerent ships are permitted to
police in search of an enemy's ships
and contraband of war.
No final and exhaustive defini-
ton of contraband can be given.
They are changing with the pro-
gress of inventions. Some articles
were formerly contraband which
now are not. The converse is also
true.
Each belligerent government is
compelled to determine what it will
treat as contraband. If its proscrip-
ton should be made in outrageous
disregard of international law or
treaty rights, neutral states affected
would probably interpose. .
Neither belligerent can treat
goods as contraband in violation of
its treaty stipulations with neutral
power as regards to the subjects of
that power. Any one desiring to
ship goods to foreign port in nett
trail vessels would proftably con-
suit any existing treaties between
Spain and the government of that
port.
The belligerent rights of capture
as against a neutral exist only,
either in case of contraband of war
or of enemy's goods aboard, or of a
violation of all effective blockade,
and Ill other analogous cases where
the conduct of the neutral justifes
the belligerent in treating his pro-
perty as enemy's property.
If Spain adheres to the principle,
free ships, free goods" as this
government is proposing to do,
only contraband goods are subject
to capture in such ships.
