Why Cortelyou Is Chosen.

The president wants Secretary Cor
telyou for chairman; because the cam
paign will center In New York and
the states near it, and Cortelyou UNI
derstands New York conditions. At
first the president, thought that he
had a solution in Cornelius N. Bliss,
who has been treasurer Of the repub-
lican national committee for years,
and is not actively identified with
either the Odell or the Platt factions
in New York. The position was Of
fered Bliss, but he declined on ac-
count Of his age and bodily inf1rmities.
Bliss himself suggested Cortelyou to
the president. The suggestion was
approved and Cortelyou was asked to
serve. 1T
The general public should not get
the impression that because there is
OPPOSITION to Secretary Cortelyou for
the craftsmanship, some other man
may be named for that position. The
opposition remains, but Mr.. Cortelyou
will be named and the committee will
accept him, albeit it may be under
protest. His selection will send a
good many republicans to their home
states with "cold feet and may af-
feet their ardor during the campaign,
but the thing may be set down as
true, the campaign will not be won
or lost on the selection of a national
chairman, no matter what certain
prominent republicans may say in
Chicago, nor how cold their fleet"
when they return home.

MINERS GROWING RESTLESS
Estimated Thai Three Thousand Wen
are out and Trouble is Looked
FOr shortly.

Latrobe, Pa, April 9.-Headed by a
brass band, striking miners of the To-
cal Hanna Coal & Coke Co, marched
to the various plants about Latrobe
Friday, and succeeded in making the
strike inaugurated on Monday general.
1t is conservatively estimated that g.
500 men were out Thursday night, and
operations at a majority of the plants
have been stopped, pending a settle
ment of the differences. All but three
of the miners of the SaXman interests
are idle, and the working forces of the
local Hanna Coal & Coke Co., the La
trobe Coal Cooke Co, and the Bessemer
Coke Co. have been seriously crippled.
So aggressive have the strikers become
in their effort to induce men to quit
work that Sheriff John H. Trecher was
Friday appealed to. He left Green's
burg Friday night, with 40 deputies
who will be distributed about Latrobe
and Pradenvil1e.

Che Foo, April 9.-The japanese are
reported to have landed on the Man
churian side of the Yalu river just
above the mouth, but below Antung.
They have also landed near Taku-
shan, half way between the mouth of
the Yalu and Port Arthur.
This is the second important step OF

Rubicon-for it puts the Japanese def
initely On the offensive, and marks the
first invasion Of Manchuria.
The Russians were intrenched at An
tung, and probably still hold that posi-
ton, but the movement Of the japanese
will have the effect of turning the flank
of Antung and may render the Russian
position untenable.
If the Russians attempt to hold Their
line of defenses on the Yalu, a battle is
inevitable,

Despite a dry spring and summer and

Of which was stopped by the November
frosts. The chief cause of the con-
tagions is the water Of the Sungari

located in unsanitary places. Another
source of c~ontagion is that the groun'!
filth in the winter has not been salts
