POLITICAL POINTERS.
Rowdys Disturb a Republican Meeting at
st, Clair.

Mr.. VIM. L. Window, of Duluth.
who has filed j. Adam Bede's dates in
this county and whose dates in the
Sixth district Mr.. Bede has filled, ad-
dressed an excellent meeting at St.
Clair Friday. Mr.. Window pre-
sents his arguments in plain, unvar-
nished language, and leaves good
impression wherever he appears. The
Eagle Lake band was present at the
ST. Clair meeting and discoursed some
excellent music. The only unpleas-
ant feature was the attempt of lot
of boys and young men to disturb the
meeting by blowing horns, pounding
drums and exploding fire crackers in
front of the door Mr.. Window re-
ferred to this as the Populist way Of
arguing. Mr.. Window returned to
the Sixth district to resume his cam
paign work there.
Reports from the field indicate the
sure success of the entire Republican
county ticket, from senator to county
commissioners. All that is necessary
to accomplish this is for the Republi-
cans to turn out and vote. There
should be no stay -at-homes this year.

Fourteenth regiment, Minnesota VOL,
who was very sick with typhoid fever
at Sternber hospital, Chickamauga,
returned home Friday night, having
fully recovered. His parents live at
Spring Island.
Speaking Of Amboy's bargain day,
the Herald says: "The Concordia band
arrived on the morning train and the
sounds of their harmonious music
were heard almost continually until
Sheir departure. To say that the Con-
cordia is the best and most obligiDg
band that ever played in Amboy is
stating the facts too mildly.
Judge Wilson today made an order
allowing the final account Of the exec
cutors in the estate of Esther Ben

y private dispatch from Havana
says that an American force landed
near ManZanillo, province of Santa

Spanish troops guarding the APP
proaches of the bay. the dispatch adds,
opened fire on the invaders, to which
the Americans replied. An attack on
the town both by sea and land was ex-
pected at the time the message was
sent. The crews of the Spanish gun
boats. which were sunk. reached the
land and, according to the Havana
message, saved most of their kits.
The maritime authorities of the
province of Asturias have ordered all
the guiding and harbor lights to be
discontinued and the whole coast,
therefore, will be dark at night until

AN ASTONISHING PROPOSITION.
Mexican's Plan Tor Firing Dynamite Shells by
Means OF Gunpowder.

Washington. July 22.-Willard ;.
lshom of the City of Mexico, has laid
before the ordnance bureau of the war
and navy departments an astonishing
Proposition. He has invented pro-
cess by which shells loaded with dyna-
mite may be safely discharged from
any piece of artillery by force of gun
powder, the shell bursting by impact.
The ordnance officials were some
what skeptical at first. They said that
if Mr.. Isham could successfully fire
dynamite with gunpowder he could do
something nobody else had ever done.
Mr.. Isham insisted that he not only
could do it but had done it. He pro-
duced letters from the Mexican secre-
tary Of war, General BerrioZabai, and
the United States minister to Mexico,
General Powell Clayton. both testifyne
that they had witnessed the expert
mentS with the new process.

Press. today, by gentleman in a po-
sitiOn to speak with knowledge and au-
thority as to the plans of the admnis-

operations. In substance the state

Porto Rican expedition is gotten under

Spanish coast. No such idea of bonn

While there may be other incidental

ports concerning it are to be stopped

sionally INDUCED in as to the Canary
Islands is utterly without foundation
Despite popular expectation that
Porto Rico operations will be followed
mediately by action against Havana.
it can be said that Havana will not be
attacked while yellow fever conditions
exist. 1t would be the height of national
folly to engage our troops in and about
that fever pest hole. Consequently, It
will be left until the climate lends its
aid in the autumn.
"Shafter will hold his own in the
Eastern district now surrendered ana
may gradually push his way over some
other districts, and if there should be
any particular need of immediate ag
gressive action at any point, will move
against it, but Havana will be left until
yellow fever dangers are past.

there will be chance to keep this gov
eminent busy. We will have to cope

martial law over the Philippines. some
thing that gave the cabinet food for
consideration at the regular meeting.
today There was no disposition to
force an issue with the insurgert

understood that he will not be allowed
to commit the United States govern

Watson's projected voyage to Euro

nation was obtainablc and "a friendly
visit" was the only explanation offered
by Secretary Day for the appearance
of the German ambassador in the dog
days in Washington. The embassy

that if anything Of Importance passed

II would not be surprising if it should

dissuade the navy department from

The Spectator says: "As the Ameri-

The Moralists would think the Ameri-

terrible obligations to the colonists Of
Spain, which they were bound to dis

New York, July 22.-Naval Construc-
tor Hobson, who arrived here this
morning, on the St. Paul. and hurried
on to Washington, was accompanied by
esee, \. Y. who was at the surrender
Of Santiago, and also came as a pas
senSer on the St Paul.
Lieut.. Hohson, who is quite tall and
of spare build, was not in uniform. but
wore an apparently misGt suit OF
clothes. a negligee shirt and a we'll
worn derby hat. He was Well supplied
with canes and umbrellas. and seemed
anxious about a bugle which he had.
During the trip across the Hudson
river to the Pennsylvania station. the
lieutenant said that he had inspected
the wrecked Spanish Warshps and lie
is certain il prompt action is taken.

Oqucndo is total wreck. The VIZ
caya is not quite as bad as the Oquen-

Lieut.. lIobson, "all the work of the

The lieutenant said that the story of
the sinking of the Merrimac had all
| been told in the published interview
with him at the time of his release.
He took occasion. however, to say that
while in Admiral Cervera's custody he
and his companions had been Well
treated. and he expects to visit Annap-

thank the distinguished prisoner for
his kindness. While in charge of Gen.
Toral, Lieut.. Hobson says he did not
| fare so well, until after the American
| troops had surrounded Santiago. Then
he was visited by some of the military
officers and was better treated.
Lieut.. Hobson said that he expected
to remain in Washington for couple
of days and that there is a likelihood
that he may be ordered to Santiago to
look after the raising Of the Spanish
warships as soon as the contracts have
been made
At the Pennsylvania depot, Jersey
City, Lieut.. Hobson was recognized
FIRST by colored porter who grabbed
his hand and said: How do you do,
Mr.. lIobsOn." The lieutenant said I'm
Well, and passed on to the parlor car.
Word that the hero of the Merrimac
was aboard the Washington express
soon passed among the passengers and
trainmen, and when the train started
on its journey the big depot rang with
the cheering.

THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.
The Isle OF Champagne.

There is a deal of droll humor and not a
little pleasing music in THE Isle of
Champagne" which was produced at the
Lyceum last night by a company headed
by Richard Golden, who assumed the role
that Thomas @. Seabrooke made a big
reputation in a few years ago. Mr.. Col
denis King Pommery is duplicate of the
bibulous character portrayed by Mr.. Sea-
brooke. 1t is eually as laugh provoking
and there are those even who assert that
in this respect the Golden article eXcells
Miss Kathrine Germaine, the plima
donna of the company, was not able to
appear. She recently had an operation
performed on her throat and she has not
yet sufficiently recovered to resume her
place in the company. Her place was ac-
ceptably filled by a handsome, graceful
and youthful Californian, Maude Lillian
Berri, a somewhat recent accession to the
light opera stage. She has q good voice
and considerable dramatic ability and
with the other advantages in her favor
will undoubtedly win for herself place
among the operate favorites OF the coun-
try. The support given the leading ar
tist was fair and the various choruses
were well rendered, The opera IS well
staged.

MUSICAL GOSSIP.

One OF the exceptional events in mus
ical circts in Scranton in the near fu-
ture will be the presence of the world
renowned artist and organist, Mr.. Will
liam G. Carl who is to preside at the
Inauguration of the large new organ
now being placed in the Providence Pres
byteran church by Hook and Hastings
and company of Baston. Mr.. Carl has
played in the principle cities of the union
from Boston to California and before his
return to America on the completion OF
his studies with Guilmant in Paris, he
had given a brilliant series of recitals
at the Edinburgh international eXposi-
tion. Mr.. Carl was engaged by the di-
rectors of the Worlds Fair (Chicago)
for three recitals which attracted gen.
eral attention. He is now on n tour of
cities with Guilmant, who was at Wilkes
Barre a few weeks ago. Professor Carl
has for years filled and still retains the
important position of organist and choir
master at the Old First Presbyterian
church, Fifth avenue, New York. Mr..
Carl's services for organ concerts are in
great demand and can only be secured
at large expense. Nevertheless it is be-
lieved that so many musicians, especially
organists and music loving people in
general throughout all this section will
avail themselves of the opportunity of
listening to such a skillful artist as to
insure a profitable venture for the Prov
luenCe people. MISS FRANCES Miller, pre-
viously of Baltimore, and now of New
York, will be the vocal soloist. Miss
Miller is now leading soprano in one of
the largest Baptist churches in New
York and a very popular artist in the
concert platform beside being a lady of
pleasing presence. One other artistic
feature of the organ Inauguration will
be two numbers by the Stringed quartet
of the Scranton Symphony orchestra.
The quartet includes Mr.. Fred Wild
! mayer, who has Just returned from spe-
cial musical studies in Boston. Though
the Inauguration of the new organ in
the Providence church Is to be a sub
scription recital, nevertheless the sub
scription will be open to the public at
large.
Mr. Elias Z. Evans, at the request Of
many members of the Plymouth Con-
gregational church, has kindly agreed
to act as chorister of the church choir
Mr.. Evans had been chorister of the
church choir for four years prod to his
