In his interview with the Bulletin,
Minister Young appears to have
taken level headed stand in regard
to the Appropriation Bill. think,
said the Minister, there is no pros
pect of regular session OF the
Legislature. If there is not to bo
one, the Government will likely pre-.
pare a special Appropriation Bill, to
meet the absolute necessities of the
country, and submit 1t to the council
OF State. After passing the Council,
with any amendments that body
might see fit to make, the bill could
be sent to President Mckinley for
approval.

The ending OF the Transvasl war
is in sight and the inevitable will
happen j. g. the arnihilation of the
two republics that have betrayed
their loyalty to Great Britain. So
it has heen terrible war and the
families Of 10000 men in the British
mourn the losses of fathers, hus-
bands and sons. In the homes of
tho Beers the women and children
in many families are putting on the
black Grape and are weeping over
their dead. The Boer widows and
the British women whose tears are
falling over the dead will all hail the
day, when the war is ended, and the
natural result gained by the British
forces stacking their arms in the
Market Square OF Pretoria.

The British army is getting in its
solid work in South Africa at last,
and 10 spite OF the determined re-
eistance Of the Beers, British gen.
eral will soon hoist the Union Jack
in Pretoria and in Bloemfountain.
The two Republics will have been
subdued and South Africa will be-
come British Colony. But at what
sacrifice OF life and money and at
what doubtful risk as to the future.
Has it ever dawned upon the British
people that the present slaughter of
thousands Of men may eventually
result in the establishment of an in
dependent confederation which at
some day may follow the example
of the United States of America and
tear themselves away from Boredom
forgetting the blood aud money
spent in their cause against the
oppression.

1t is interesting to read the late st
dispatches from London, in which it
is stated that the Russian ambassa-
dor denies any knowledge of Rus
sian military movement towards
Herat. Diplomatic courtesy prevents
highlands Premier from calling the
Russian Ambass ador a "liar" to his

Examinations for Lawyers.

The Committee on Education Of the
State Bar Association held meeting in
Pittsburg OH Friday and announced that
it has in preparation bill TO be presented
10 the next Legislature which will pro-
vide for Board of State Examiners, to
be appointed by the Supreme Court. The
idea is 20 make the examinations for ad-
mission to the bar uniform throughout
Pennsylvania. At present almost every
county has different rules.
The Executive Committee also held q
meeting in the Smoky City on the same
day at which it was decided that the per-
sonal history of the Snpreme Court OF
Pennsylvania from Colonial days be pre-
pared by the Association. 1t is hoped the
State will bear the expense of printing it.
.After the biographies of the Supreme
Court Justices are written the Judges and
prominent members of the county bars
during the earlier days will be taken up.
The Executive Committee also selected
Cambridge Springs as the place for the
annual meeting of the State Bar Assoeia-
ton. The dates are June 26th, 9th, and
2Sth. The orator was chosen. but his
name will not be made public until it is
certain that he will accept the invitation.

Is the Endoscope, which is for the pur-

strument. the treatment of stomach troub-
les will be revolutionized, as it locates the
cause of disease. With due respect to
science, however, would state that the
causes of stomach troubles have been
known for the past fifty years, and ike
wise their cure, which is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, a medicine that has many i'm

nervousness, insomnia. It also prevents
malaria, fever and sgue. and keeps the
bowels regular. When not feeling right,
take dose. 1t is the standard medicine
of the American people. Look for Pri-

Coal Sales Beat all Records.

A Harrisburg dispatch says: More pur-
Southwestern Pennsylvania during the
last three months than during the same
length of time in the history of the Com
monwealth. The purchases have been
largely in Greene county and extend east
ward into Fayette, Westmoreland. Som
erset and Indiana counties. The records
of the Internal Affairs Departm ent show
that there have never been so many certi-
fled copies made of original warrants,
surveys and patents as during the period
mentioned.
The force of tho Office is employed very
largely in this direction. and there is
scarcely mail which does not bring or
ders for certified copies of records. In
purchases made by corporations or syn
dicates it is customary to see that the
briefs of titles are made complete ba' k
to and including the conveyance from the
Commonwealth, which embraces the orig
inal application, the wsrrant, the survey
made in pursuance thereof, and the pat
ent issued on return of survey.
In many cases it has heen found that
the title has not been completed from the
Commonwealth. and in many instances
the present owners of the land, before
they can sell. are required by the purchas-
ers to complete the title by paying up the
arrearages and securing the patent, which
is the last link in the chain of the Ccm-
mouwealth- 1t appears from the CORES
pondence between the department and
the attorneys having in charge the brief
ing of titles, that hundreds Of thousands
of acres of lands, especially coal lands,
are changing hands during the present
period of business activity.

Minars Are Dissatisfied.

A Cumberland dispatch dated Decem-
Der 2S says: Delegates from the United
Mine Workers of America, representing
the different mines in the district union,
recently formed out of the Georges Creek
and Meyersdale regions, have been in
session here all day. Their object was to
confer with the operators relative to an
increase, but in this they were disappOint.
ed, and instead of meeting the miners,
the operators posted notices at the differ
ent mines in this region, notifying the
miners that an increase, presumably ten
per cent. would be made April l. also in
the Meyersdsie region. Several delegates
stated that the operators had made Sc
rious mistake il failing to confer with
them.

Big Coal Deal cOnsummatsd

It is now reported that all doubts have
been dispelled regarding the transfer of
the large body Of coal lands, some 60.
600 to 81, 900 acres, in Lincoln, QuemahOn-
ing, Shade and StOnycreek townships,
from the parties holding the options to
syndicate of Baltimore capitalists. The
parties chiefly interested in the transac-
ton were here on Friday, when, it is
said, the report of Mr.. John Fulton, the
eminent engineer and ninersIogist, on
whose statement the sale Is conditioned,
was highly satisfactory. Mr.. Fulton aud
a corps of engineers have recently gone
over the immense tract and have tested
the quality of the coal, which it is said
the former has endorsed unqualifiedly as
boing Of superior quality for steam pro-
ducing aud other pUrpSrses. In this con-
nection the following dispatch from Bal
timore relating to the scramble for pos
session of the Western Maryland Rail-
road is interesting: "The New York
syndicate representing the Vanderbilt
interests. which wants the Western
MARYLAND road for the tidewater outlet
of a new trunk line from the West, and
the soft coal fields, Friday declined 10 ap-
pear at public auction as bidder for
the road. The syndicate has informed
the city officials that it has named It's
price, for the road, s.. As. 600 for the nine
ty lies of track constituting the main
line, and does not want TO be put in COM
petition with straw bidders. After the
main line of the road is sold the several
branches extending through the Cum
berland Valley. Pennsylvania, to Cherry
Run, on the Baltimore and Ohio, will
haveto be sold separately. The syndi-
cate further states that As it is intended To
spend 100000 in double tracking and
Strengthening the main line over the
mountains it cannot increase its offer.
