Convention to Meet
TeSt Week.

PHILADELPHIA, June limited
States Senator Quay, it is said, will an
nounce himself candidate for chair
man OF the State committee to succeed
State Chairman Reeier. Any such an
nouncement from him would. it is be-
lieved. be tantamount to his election.
The motive given for this contemplate
ed action on the part of Senator QUAY
is that he may take personal direction
of the fight for the election OF Judge
Pennypacker to the governorship.
Penrypacker Certain.
While it is quite apparent that GER
tain influences are endeavoring to make
it appear that Quay may abandon Judge
Pennypacker and turn to a dark horse"
as his choice for governor. the asser-
tion is made by those in the vanguard
of the Pennypacker movement that the
Philadelphia will be the un1oubted
nominee of the State convention.
"Conceding Attorney General Elkin
every delegate pledged to him. all Of
the Allegheny county delegates and
some scattering support from the IN
instructed counties" said one of these
gentlemen today, "and Judge Penny
packer still will go into the State con-
vention with from 200 to 220 delegates
at his back"

STRIKE AT CUMBERLAND.
Bloodshed Greatly Feared in Georges
Creek Territory.

CUMBERLAND, Nd. June 4.-There is
serious strike at the New York mine,
in the Georges Creek territory, and
bloodshed Is feared before morning.
The men who drive the headings, $50
in number, are out because the company
refused to supply the powder used in
blasting. and they are gathered at the
mouth of the mine. swearing that they
will kill the first man who attempts to
20 10 work.
There are $50 men not affected who
want to work. They appealed to the
sheriff for protection and twenty five
deputies were sent to the scene tonight.
The superintendent of the mine, which
is owned by ex-Gov. Lloyd Lowndcs
and II. C. Black, of Baltimore. have
sworn nut warrants for a number of
the strikers with the hope that 1t would
COW the rest, but it has only increased
their wrath.
The strikers are all Hungarians.
These who want to go to work will
try to do so when the time arrives for
the night shift, and then the trouble
will begin.
The deputies are all armed with Win
chesters.

cad in the Senate by Mr.. Culberson,

Goes not think the situation warrants
action on his part and he declines tt
issue proclamation similar to that put
forth last SUNDAY by Sheriff Schadt. OF
Lackawanna county.
President Mitchell said tonight thai
he considers the strike practically COM
plete. as additional firemen, engineers
and pumpmen have Joined the strikers
and he is we'll satisfied with the cam
paign. He is regarding the many out
breaks and said:
Il have heard of no reports of any
outbreaks, violence. or intimidation al
any place"
Operators Reply.
The operators authorized the follow
ing in reply to Mr.. Mitchell: There
has never been time since Mr..
Mitchell became prominent in the
troubles in the coal regions when he
ever knew of any violence, intimidation,
or any other kind OF extraordinary in
fuence on the men who were working
fer the companies, according to his own
account.
"At the same time, ever since Mr..
Mine Workers of America wherever
there has been trouble the leaders Of
that trouble have been closeted with
MIR. Mitchell behind closed doors for
hours and have then left for the scene
where trouble arose.
Mr.. Mitchell may not have given or
ders for the trouble, but the men who
left the office went right into the dis
tricts where trouble arose Immediately.
This was especially the case in the
strike in Hazleton in 1900, and yet the
men who fomented all the troubles there
rushed right from Mr.. Mitchell's Office
to the scene, where disorder began al
most Immediately.
Shuts of Reports.
"At that time Mr. Mitchell said that
no troubles, disorder, or intimidation
of any kind had been reported to his
office. OF course not; he forbids any
reports of the kind to come in. Ills
myrmidons do his work. but must not
tell him anything about it,
Sheriff Jacobs was specifically called
upon tonight to suppress threatened
disturbance at the Beaver Brook mine
in the Hazleton district. He at once re-
sponded by swearing in four deputies at
the mine and the trouble was averted.
The representatives of the Dodson
Coal Company, the owner of the mine.
expressed high appreciation of the
sheriff'5 prompt action.

promised not to do it again. Weir then
says that men under Arnold had told
him that that officer had later ordered
a new method of torture: "A strip Of
flesh is cut just above the ankle of the
prisoner: it is then attached to a stick
the stick is coiled with the strip OF
flesh"
Another charge is that Arnold told
his men to take an old man to a stream

unconscious. because he would not give
up information he was supposed to
possess.

Captain Vests Investigation.
Capt. P. W. West, of the Fifth Caval-
ry, inspector General, Department of
Luzon. made an investigation of these
charges, and his report says that three
soldiers corroborated what Weir said
about the treatment of the prisoners at
Pasay. while a number Of others con-
firmed the statements that prisoners
were frequently whipped by Sergeant
Edwards, with Lieutenant Arnold's per-
mission. Captain Vests report con-
cludes-
Il believe that a thorough investiga-
tion into the matter win substantiate
the charges made by Private Weir that
prisoners were treated in a cruel man
ner, and that Lieutenant Arnold winked
at this treatment"
Sergeant Edwards, who inflicted the
tcrtGTes described, has been ordered
before a court-martial. and the case
against Lieutenant Arncld is being fur
Their investigated.

Well Fitted for Post.

Hon. Michael H. Herbert Is the clev-
crest young man in the British liplo-
matte service; he knows the United
States thoroughly, and the fact that his
wife is an American is considered to
be a help to him in cementing the
coveted Anglo-American entente, con-
summation which Lord Pauncefote so
much desired.
While nominally secretary to the
British embassy at Paris. Mr.. Herbert
has been really minister plenipotentiary
to France, and as such he frequently
acted in most important cases in the
absence of Sir Edmund J. Monsoon, Great
Britain, ambassador there. His record
at Washington as charge d'affaires from
1885 until 1889 and as secretary from
1882 to 1893, and his work as British
agent on the Venezuelan Commission
eminentiy fit him for his proposed new
and important duties.
Salary May Be Increased.
Before the new ambassador takes up
his duties the salary will probably be
put upon par with the highest paid in
Great Britain's diplomatic service,
namely. that which is paid to her am
bassador at Paris. S45, 900 a year.
AS minister plenipoteutiary to France
he receives salary suitable to the
office and ranks of secretaries of the
embassies of other countries.
The combination of the office of sec
rotary and minister has no counterpart
under the United States Government 1t
has been found convenient. however, for
the British government to have a full
fledged minister to Paris to act in the
absence of Sir Edward ]. Munson, the
British ambassador there.
Mr.. Herbert's title of Honorable
comes by heredity. His father was
Lord Herbert of Lee, and the heir to
the earldom of Pembroke and Mont
gomery. but he died before attaining
the title. which is held by Mr.. Herbert's
elder brother.
The Herberts are of the peerage Of
England, and not as has been supposed
by so many people. the Irish peerage.
The State Department has approved
the selection of Mr.. Herbert.

Sibley Hospital last night. Mrs. Rains
ford's condition did not appear to be at
all serious on the evening of the acci-

more every day it was thought best by
her physicians to send her to the hos
pital.

Mr.. Jenkins declined to answer a
question that reflected disgracefuliy
upon anyone holding the high office of
President OF the United States. No
party he said. would ever elect any
man but one of the highest character
to that Office.
Mr.. Ray pressed for an answer, and
falling to get categorical one, said he
knew Mr.. Jenkins would dodge.

putation OF cowardice, adding that If
he did not answer the question to the
satisfaction of Mr.. Ray he would do
And | am ready to answer any Ques-
ton that has merit. decency, and in

placed the President in the same class
with deputy marshals, ignoring the
plain plensry power of Congress under
the Constitution to protect the Presi-
dent as such and whether or not in the
discharge OF his official duties.
Mr. Ray Intellectually tried to break
into Mr.. Jenkins speech again, but the
Wisconsin Representative declined to
hear him.
Appeals to Minority for Time.
The controversy finally became so per-
sonal between the two members that Mr.
Ray, who controlled the time on the
Republican side. declined to yield fur
Their to Mr.. Jenkins. and the latter was
obliged to appeal to Mr.. Lanham Dem.
Tex. who had charge OF the time on the
minority side. for an opportunity to con-
tinue his argument.
Mr. jenkins was apparently much of
Tended at MIR. Rays refusal, and said
that for the first time in his experience
in the House he had been compelled to
call on the Democrats for assistance
and had 1t not been for the courtesy of
Mr.. Lanham dem. Tex he would not
have had the opportunity of presenting
his views on this subject.
The bill, the speaker contended. would
not have convicted the murderer of
either of the three Presidents who have
been assassinated in our history. It's
provisions were. in effect instructions
to would-be murderers how to kill
President and yet escape punishment foI
the crime. What ought to be done. AMI
what Congress had the power to do. was
to pass bill TO protect the President

vide for the protection of the President
without qualification. II he could not
strike out the limitations in the bill
he would nevertheless vote for 1t.

ers in November, and their term will
begin in February next. The re-
fusal OF the House to concur in any
plan looking to the codification dur
ing the Summer and Fall of the laws
of the State to conform to the new
Constitution leaves all of that work
to be done at the November session
The Senate was anxious for com
mission or joint committee to do
this important work during the in
term, but opposed to any plan of
this character. The opposition was,
in a large measure, due to the fact
that the impression got out early 10
the session that slate had been
made up to constitute the commits
sion. Before the Assembly convened
there was a strong sentiment in ia
vor OF a commission, and it was
pretty well understood that such a
body would be authorized Four
teen members from the House and
seven from the Senate were to con-
stitute the board, and ADVOCATES of
the scheme went so far as to select
the House members. When this fact
became known it aroused such bitter
opposition that every subsequent
proposition bearing on the subject
was promptly defeated.
The failure to appoint a commits
sion will make the November session
of the Legislature an exceedingly
busy one. There will be vast
amount of detail work to be done.
This will have to be handled by the
committees of the two branches, and
the session will necessarily be made
much longer than it would have been
