POLITICAL

At the Republican primaries held in
Tioga county Gov. Stones native
county, last Saturday, the Ants had
everything their own way. The con-
vention met, Monday, and the official
canvass showed that Jerome B. Niles
had majority of 6SS over David Cam
eron for president judge. The returns
from certain districts indicated the in
tense feeling. South Delmar, the birth
place of Gov. Stone, gave majority for
Niles. Senator Merrick, the Quay lead
er of the county, failed to carry his town
of Blossburg. Hitchcock, anti-Quay
for the Legislature, defeated H. NJ.
Foote, the governors State agent at
Washington, by over LOO majority.
Champaign, the other nominee, made
his canvass as middle-o the-road man.
Vandusen, anti-Quay, won for sheri If
over Wakeley, Quay, by 1O7.
The vote of Somerset County was
close-about 300 to 3O0O-and the Antis
complained of the vote of some newly
established mining towns in the north
ern part of the county, which was al
most solid for the Quayites. F. j.
Koozer for Congress. and w. H. Koontz
and S. A. Kendall for Assembly, all An
It's, are the nominees. The re-nomina-
ton of Gen. Koontz, one of the Anti
Quay leaders at Harrisburg, at last ses-
sion, was bitter pill for the Quayites,
and they bolted the convention, which
the Ants controlled by vote of 26 to
16.
Resolutions approving of the course
of Gen. Koontz and Mr. Kendall, win

STOLE A WEDDING RING.
Buchanan Town Girl Arrested at Royalton
oy Stearns County Sheriff on
Thanksgiving Day.

From the st. Cloud Times, Friday:
Sophia Polla was taken by storm
last night and she probably thinks
that Sheriff Schilplin is in the sur
prise party business himself.
Some time ago Sophia worked for
Peter Orth. Of this city, and while
there it it alleged that she stole Mrs.
Orth's wedding ring. A warrant
was sworn out for her arrest and
Sheriff Schilplin traced her to Royal
ton. He went up yesterday after
noon and when he got there found
that the girl was attending dance.
He, OF course, had to get back on the
next train and at once proceeded to
the dance hall and placed the young
lady under arrest.
The girl admitted taking the ring
and gave what she claimed to be the
one over to the sheriff.
She had q hearing this morning
and in view Of the fact that she had
returned the ring she was told by
the justice that she would be released
upon paying the costs which
amounted to about $19, in default
of which she would have to serve a
a ten days. sentance in the county
jail. She could not pay the costs
and was locked up again.
The girl'e parents live at Buchanan

attitude of Russia and the United States.
II China escapes with the payment Of
small indemnity, and many promises
on paper, as seems not unlikely since
Germany and Great Britain may not
be willing to in cur the expenditure and
risk involved in persisting in their de-

The Shanghai correspondent of The

the situation is unchanged. The Han.
kowr viceroy refuses to stop sending
supplies to the court unless the Nankin
viceroy will also refuse, and the latter,
although he undertakes to. send no
more arms. says he must continue
sending supplies so long as the en-
peror requires them.
= 'In fact, all our remonstrances
amount. to miserable farce. We have
