Last night the strike situation in Penn
sylvania looked stormier than ever. 1t IS
reported. and it is to be feared, truly.
that the strikers are arming, in view of
the inpouring OF heavily armed Pinker-
tors and Coal and Iron police. which has
been going on for forty-e eight hours. Tn
less the Coal Trust is willing to meet tho
demands of the miners in a more liberal
spirit than it has shown thus far, there
are grave apprehensions that there may
be serious trouble next week. Should the
Scranton convention fail to accept the Of
fcrs of the operators already made, it Is
rumored that the Coal Trust will resort
10 force and attempt to resume opera
tions under Pinkerton and military pro
lection; in which case 1t is difficult to
see how bloodshed can be avoided.

Yokohama despatch yesterday stated
that public opinion in Japan is much ex-
cited over the failure of the United States
and England to support Japan in her Chi
nese policy. and that the result probably
would be TO throw the Mikado into the
arms of The Gar. who desires japanese
alliance above all things. Such an ALI
ance would be far from desirable from the
open door" point of view. but it seems
likely TO come.

publicans of the Thirty-second district Of
New York remain true to their idol. the
Hon. ROLAND Blcnnerhasset Mahany, of
Buffalo. They permitted him to be de-
feated two years ago by the Hon. Will
liam Henry Ryan. Democrat. and they
are trying with all their might to send
Aiahany back to Congress this year He
was renominated practically without OPP
position. and is making campaign such
as only ROLAND Blennerhassett Mahany
can make. He is not worshiper Of the
sanity Mr. Mckinley. Nor does he kow-
tow and bump his head hard upon the
ground every time the name of the stu
pendous Hanna is mentioned within his
hearing. ROLAND Blennerhasset Mahany
even has been known to refuse to bend
the knee 10 Plat. But. withal, he claims
to be Republican of the old school,
whatever that is. If he comes back to
Congress and the present Administration
is continued in power Mahapy can be re-
lied ucon to have lot of fun. II he
comes to Congress and Mr.. Bryan comes
to the White House. Mahany will manage
somehow to extract fuu>Out OF that stu
alton. ROLAND Biennerhasset Mahany
wears no boss collar. and the blood of
his Milesian ancestors bubbles and boils
when All attempt is made to put collar
around his neck. He is an anti-imperial
list and against trusts. 1t Is believed Mr..
Hanna will proceed slyly but effectuaily
to cook the goose Of the Hon. ROLAND
Blenncrhasset Mahany SO that there will
continue to be harmony in the Republic
can party. Mr.. Hanna would greatly pre-
fer TO have Democrat represent the
Thirty second district of New York than
10 have Mahany. The Democrats have
renomirated Mr.. Ryan, and the fight be-
tween these Two descendants of the Irish
Kings is already fast and furious.

Cartcr's Queer Mix-UP.-Thc Hon
Thomas Henry Carter descended upon Chi
cago yesterday from the mountains Of Mon
tana and bearded the lion right in his
den. He told Mr.. Hanna not to go to South
Dakota. because If he did he would so ey-
aggerats the Importance of the Hon. Rich
ard Franklin Pettigrew that his constit-
uents would be almost certain to send
that recalctrant statesman back TO the
Senate. Whether Senator Carter told Mr..
Hanna this 10 his face Is not known but
the Montana man did talk in the spirit
indicated to reporters, and. Of course. his
talk will be called to the attention of Mr..
Hanna by Perry Heath or somebody else.
and then there is liable TO be trouble for
Carter. The Senator pictures very ques I
political situation in his State. He says
the Republicans will carry their State
ticket the Legislature. and Representa-
tive. but that Mr.. Bryan Will get Mon
tara's electoral vote. If the Republicans
carry the Legislature Mr.. Carter will be
reelected to the Senate. and will also
have . Republican colleague. Still. the
Hon. William A. Clark is doing a lively
business in Montana at this moment with
vaudeville troupes and other attractive ac-
cessories. which ought TO aid him material
ly in his campaign for the Legislature IT
is generally believed that Mr. Clark can
get a Democratic Legislature, and in that
event Montana will be represented in tho

and started for Senator Hanna's resi-
dence, just around the corner on La

were waiting for him at the hotel, ap-
preached and asked for five minutes

All right, responded Mr. Carnegie.
but just walk along with me, / am

So they went along together and as
they walked the two gentlemen laid
before Mr.. Carnegie the necessity OF
a public library al Fort Dodge. Iowa.
They say Fort Dodge needed library

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Deem Der 22.-
Judge Neff in Criminal Court to-day
sentenced Edward Rutheven, colOred to
be electrocuted April u. 1901, for the
murder Of Patrolman Ship. Ship
discovered the negro in the act OF
burglarizing a residence and tried to
arrest him. Rutheven killed the po-
liceman and escaped. Subsequently a
score OF officers surrounded a house
where Rutheyen had taken refuge The
negro. however. with a revolver in each
hand fought his way out and after
a running battle eluded the police. He
was finally captured at Indianapolis,
after being shot and badly wounded.

was confined in an iron cage while
he was in court
