\ Pittsburg Sensation.

The subcommittee appointed several
weeks ago by the finance committee OF
Pittsburg councils to investigate the ac
counts of the former Superintendent OF
Highways, Samuel T. Paisley, made it
report last Friday The committee
finds that Paisley, by means of padded
pay rolls, false vouchers, etc, has de
frauded the city of S52, ,91393.
The report says:
Your committee finds and concludes
that E. NJ. Bigelow, as director of the
public works department, exercised such
little control and supervision of the
bureau of highways and was so grossly
negligent and careless in his conduct OF
same, that said s. T. Paisley was able
during the whole period of the incum
bency of said E. NJ. Bigelew, to defraud
the CITY. with absolute impunity, IN the
manner. and to the extent above de
scribed. The methods followed by said
S. T. Paisley in defrauding the city, as
above described, were so simple and sc
easv of detection, and were continued
in for such great space of time, that II
must be conceded that the responsibility
of explaining same must rest upon ms
superior officer, the director of the de
partment.
At the meeting of Select Council,
Monday afternoon, 36 of the 81 mem
bars answered roll call.
John Upperman offered resolution
deposing Director Bigelow, which Is as
follows Resolved, By Select ano
Common Councils of the city of Pitts
burg. that Edward NJ. Bigelow be anc
he is hereby removed from the office OF
director of the department of public
works and the office is hereby declared
vacant.
Mr.. Upperman moved that the rules
be suspended to consider the resolution
and called for the ayes and nayes. The
motion was carried by vote of 30 to o
Mr.. Upperman, who appears to be the
spokesman for the anti-Bigelow faction
offered a resolution for joint session oi
councils to consider the resolution de
posing Director Bigelow. An aye anc
nav vote was called and the vote was
the same as on the question of a suspen-
sion of the rules, 80 for and 6 against.
A Joint session of Councils followed
and Mr.. Bigelow was deposed, and Geo
W. Wilson elected in his place.

The War In China

The situation in China is viewed with
alarm by the English, who believe that
the Boxer movement was instigated by
the Russians so that they may secure
what they want in China before the
subjugation of the Beers relieves Great
Britain of her South African trouble
In this predicament the British press
and politicians are looking anxiously to
President Mckinley to interpose some
effectual check on Russia. The British
army is so locked up in South Africa
that there is no reasonable prospect of
being able to safely withdraw any part
of it for at least two months. The
British army in India is already below
| the lowest reach of the establishment,
and it seems certain that another eX-
pedition of -, 900 men will be necessary
| to rost ara British authority in Ashanti
| Therefore England is in sore plight so
| far as concerns any effectual defense of
her interests in the far East. 1t is
known in English diplomatic circles
that Lord Salisbury is using every effort
! to arrive at all understanding with
Russia, but while Russia negotiates she
also steadily pushes her advantage in
| China,
1t is recognized that if Russia gets d
| foot-hold in China under plea of pre-
serving order she will never withdraw.
The British occupation of Egypt has set
a precedent which will just suit Russia 5
purpose.
Sundays papers reported the destruci-
ion of thirty miles of railroad between
Pekin and Tien- -Tsin; the reprimand Of
/ a Chinese general by the government
| for killing five hundred Boxers, and the
| threat by the Russians to land troops in
| large bodies The Russians had 1000
| troops on board her war vessels and
| IA, 900 more at Port Arthur, across the
| bay.
On Monday the foreign troops were
advancing from Tien Tsin towards
Pekin, the Boxers were continuing their
outrages, and the Empress was reported
| to have taken refuge with the Russian
legation.
A dispatch from Peltin dated June II
said:
The chancellor of the Japanese lega-
| tiop, Sugiyama Akira, while proceeding
alone and unprotected on official duty,
was brutally murdered by soldiers of
Tung Fuh Slang, the favorite body
guard of the Empress, at Navigate rail
road station yesterday. The foreign re
Inducements daily expected. The pres
ent isolated position of Pekin, the de
struction of foreign property in the
country and the insecurity of life are
directly attributable to the treachery of
the Chinese government.
The Russian warships Petropaulovsky
and Klomiloff are at Taku bar, and the
Russian torpedo boats ''l03' and 10Y
are in the River Taku. Want of trans
port prevented the Russians from land
ing troops. The are very active.
1t is rumored that General Fung-
Fah-Siang, with many thousand troops,
is at Feng Tai.
The latest news from Pao-Ting-Fu is
that the Boxers" 5000 strong, are
attacking the Catholic convent there.
The situation was critical and the
officials were evidently inactive.
The United States warships Nashville
and Monacacy, were expected at Taku.

The Boys.

They meet and call each other boys,
on Decoration Day;
Yet every face is marked with years,
and all the boards are gray.
They cannot believe they are growing
old-the years have glided so swift
ly by,
Since they left their northern homes to
conquer or to die
When they meet they fight their bat
ties DER again,
And recall their weary marches through
the snow and rain.
The country owes the old soldiers debt
of gratitude it never can repay,
Forsthey boldly marched unto the front
in the Nations darkest day.
They were brave boys that left there
homes to conquer or TO die,
And bravely fought for the old starry
flag that now proudly waves on
high.
But as the years roll on their ranks are
growing thin;
All honor to the brave boys in blue,
who a glorious victory did win.
When they answer the last roll call,
And are laid in the silent grave
| would plant the old flag above them
The old flag they risked their lives to
save. ALEX NJ. HAYS

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
WASHINGTON NOTES.

Congress adjourned at o'clock last
Thursday afternoon, just 26 hours after
the time first fixed by the leaders OF the
two houses. The end came in sight
shortly after o'clock, at which hour
the long wrangle in the House over the
question of coast surveys was finished
by the House accepting the Senate
amendment, placing the work under
the control of the Navy Department.
All the bills were signed by the Presi-
dent without the hurry and hustle
usually incident to adjournment For
nearly two hours both houses did moth
ing but pass bills to which there was no
objection, but which could not be acted
upon by both branches of Congress at
this session. This period of inactivity
enabled the engrossing clerks to bring
their work to date and the President TO
affix his signature.
Cranks in the galleries of both House
and Senate addressed the Legislators i'm
mediately after the gavel had fallen.
The man in the House gallery was A. c.
Deming, of California, who has attract
ed attention there for two months by
advocating the selection of alternate
candidates by the Philadelphia conyen-
ton, whose duty it shall be to serve the
Republican party in case of the disabil-
ity sof the regular candidates. The
crowd of members and victors was so
boisterous that he could not make him
self heard, so he voluntarily desisted.
Over in the Senate it was religious
crank who startled the Senators. When
President Pro Tempore Fry announced
that the Senate had adjourned ''sinedie"
a white haired old man jumped up in
the gallery opposite the presiding Off
GERS desk and in loud voice shouted
ga message from the throne on high
Jesus will be here SOON" Six police
men hustled him out of the gallery.
The total of the appropriations made
by this Congress (the 56th) for the ses-
sion just closed is S709, 729, 476, the larg-
est on record.
J. Braden Blacks appointment as
Postmaster was confirmed by the Sen
ate last Thursday, and Brade will take

THE FIRST DAY.

Tuesday morning-June II, 1900
dawned model day for outdoor exer-
cises, and late slumberers were startled
by bedlam of noises; delegations be-
gan coming in, and the Centennial was
on.
The Pennington Band and old soldiers
were the first to come up from the sta
ton, then followed the Swift Mission
Band and company from Allegheny,
then the Prospect Band, and Others till
the streets were crowded.
At 1870 "a crowd assembled around
the Speakers stand on the Diamond ana
Chairman Negley called for order, Rev
JR Coulter read Psalm and led IN
praver; A. E. Reiber read letter OF re-
great from Rev w. o. Campbell, ana
then Chairman Negley gave an account
of the movement to celebrate the first
Centennial of the organization OF the
county, its progress and elimination
and spoke of the changes made durng
the nearly eighty years of his life.
At D. m the parade of the. day
formed at the South end of Main street
in the following order:
Col. Redic and staff
Germania Band.
Marshal Hays and aids.
Town Council in Carriages.
Swift Mission Band and company OF.
Allegheny.
Harrisville Martial Band.
Old Soldiers and G. A. R. posts.
North Washington Band and old

Orphans Home boys and girls
And marched out Centre Ave. and back
again and to Mexican and Jefferson SITS,
where it was joined by the school chill
dren, carrying flags, and the girls dressed
in white, and led by the Prospect
and Pennington Bands made the hand
soonest parade that ever marched up
Main street.
At the Arch ON the Diamond the
Parade was reviewed by Col. Redic and
his staff-the old soldiers and the Swift
Mission boys receiving hearty applause,
and they disbanded on South Main
street, and came up to the Diamond to
hear the speeches, and see the visitors
and the people.
At $3.50 Mr.. Negley again called the
meeting to order; and J. D. McJ unkln,
ESQ.,, read patriotic letter of regret
from A. NJ Brown, Esq, of Pittsburg,
who is in poor health, and then intro
duced Judge Bredin, who talked of the
early history of the county, and acts OF
Assembly creating it, mentioned
NaynA,s- ..;4.4s-,- i,, 11aA aa -nlAarina thA
woods of Indians, and the Irish rebel
lion of 179S, as causing the people OF
that country to emigrate to America.
He had notes and made a long talk,
and was followed by Col. Thompson,
who told funny stories of the early days
of the county, spoke of the march of
civilization, etc.
That evening the town was illum-
mated (eyen the arch looked well in
electric lights and the bicycle parade
was satisfactory.
