decided distinction In not only being
elected from disti let that has sent men
to Congress who secured national repu-
tation. such as Glenni w. Scofield, Chas.
W. Stone, VIM. l., Scott and Joseph c.
Sibley, but he gsinnd greater distinction
by the clever way in which he outwitted
such Pennsylvania political managers as
Major Mcdowell, of Mercer county; O..
d. Bleakley, of Vensngo county; and ex-
State Senator Cummings, of Warren coun-
ty, and carried off the prize last year. An
interesting story never published is con-
nected with the latter distinction.
"The many friends of Representative
Sibley in that district after vainly at
tempting to induce him to withdraw his
letter declining to be candidate again,
evolved plan whereby he would be
nominated and elected without being
candidate. To this end 1t was deter
mined to dead-loc the convention until
the time arrived for all of the candidates
to withdraw and to nominate Mr.. Sibley
as the only man upon whom they could
unite. When the convention met it was
found that the three delegates from War
rem county were instructed for Mr.. Cum
ihgs, the three from Venango for Mr..
Wiley, the three from Mercer for Mr..
Whitla, the three from Forest for Mr..
Wheeler, and the three in Elk for no one
in particular. AS eight votes would be
required to nominate, Mr.. Sibley's
friends believed that they could carry
out their plans and especially as trusted
man or two had had business over in
Elk county about the time those dele
gates were elected, and it was also hinted
that Mr.. Cummings business interests
had also taken him TO that county about
the sane time.
"Forest county, the home of Mr..
Wheeler, was not taken into considera-
ton. 1t was the smallest county in the
district and it was cheeky for the Repub-
licans Of that county to expect the NOM
instion. But right here was where the
Sibley boomers made their mistake.
They should have taken the quiet. lum-
herman from Endeavor into considera-
ton in all the moves. 1t was anticipated
that the convention would remain in
deadlock for weeks, but en- the very first
day of the convention the three Mercer
delegates got away from Major Mcdowell
going to Mr.. Wheeler, giving him six
votes and then two of the Elk delegates
swung in the same direction and made
the nomination before the Sibley BOOM
ers could grapple with the situation, or
as Major Mcdowell put it, had had time
70 spit ON their hands for the real tight.'"

Kuropatkin's History Of the War

General Kuropatkin's History of the
Russo-Japanese war, which was con.
fiscated by the Russian government,
has at last become accessible, despite
the most extreme precautions to pre-
vent this gallant official Indictment
from reaching the public.
The work consists of three bulky
volumes respectively devoted to the
three crucial events of the war. the
battle of Liao-Yang, the battle of the
Sha river and the battle of Mukden.
The voluminous general orders, sta
tistics, reports and other documen.
tary matter have been collated by
Colonel Bolkhovetonoff of the general
staff These, with the conclusions"
which have been formulated, consti.
tute most amazing revelations of dis
organization and incapacity, and even
disobedence of specific and urgent or.
ders, on the part of certain general
officers entrusted with high commands
in the field, notably General Kaulbars,
against whom formidable Indictment
is framed saddling upon his shoulders
practically the entire responsibility
for the crushing defeat at Mukden.

Few stories of recent disasters have
been more terrible than that of the sink
ipg of the steamer Lsrchmont in Block
Island Sound, Tuesday night of last
week, says the Oil City Blizzard. The
mind is filled with horror at the picture
of the helpless victims on the doomed
vessel swept by the icy waves, freezing to
death while yet making some hopeless
effort to escape the death which confronted
them. One passenger, who had gained a
place in the captains boat, is described as
going insane from his intense suffering,
and with his pocket knife stabbing him
self in the throat. finally falling to the
bottom of the boat, where he lay unheed-
ed by the other occupants, too dazed and
cold to interfere. With the exception,
perhaps, of the steamer Slocum disaster,
nothing more piteously horrible than the
fate of those i'll starred passengers and
crew of the Larchmont is recalled in re-
cent times. The collision in the night;
the awful incidents which followed, and
then, the following day, the washing
ashore of the ice-encased bodies of scores
of victims will be recorded as prominent
among other wild and gruesome trage-
dies of the sea. Out of passenger list of
over 200 less than 30 were rescued.

OF the large number of injured, so,
according to hospital and police re-
ports, are seriously hurt and the death
list may be increased.
With the clearing away of the
wreckage interest centered in what the
authorities may do. Perhaps the
most significant statement was the one
made by Coroner Schwapnecke. He
had secured a statement from Motor
man Rogers of the wrecked train.
In this, according to the coroner,

the speed of his train was 70 miles an

beyond the place of derailment. Then,
said the coroner, it was another eighth
of a mile before the motors came to
standstill. Rogers declared the mo.
tors did not leave the tracks.
Coroner Schwanneeke in an inter.
view said: 81 am skeptical as to the
statements of the motorman because
the ties show that the motors and first
cars were off the track an eighth of

tion of the track with force enough to
cause it to jump off. The smoker fol-
lowed and swung the cars following
completely off the track, breaking the
coupling. If the train had held to.
"A
disaster. When the rear cars broke
loose they ran wild for a distance and
finally turned over"
When the wreck occurred the three
rear coaches, filled with passengers,
were thrown on their right sides lust
above sharp curve at Woodawn
Road bridge. The shock was terrific.
People were hurled violently from
their seats and most of those who
were killed were pitched through the
windows as the cars slid along on
their sides. The third rail held for a
time but finally broke with flash and
a roar seen and heard for a great dis.
tance. 1t was between the wreck of
the current rail and the main track
that the bodies were wedged They
were held here as the cars bounded
along and in this way were terribly
mangled.

is preparing to make a searching in

dent. Henry n Rockwell of Yonkers,
member of the commission, notified
the officials of the New York Central
railroad that he had been instructed
by the commission to require the Of

the details of the wreck. A represent
ative of the commission said that the
demand would be complied with.

THE latest matter to receive legislative
probing will be the subject of high priced
breadstuffs and life necessities. Governor
Stuart has approved the joint resolution
creating a committee of two senators and
three representatives who will insert the
probe deep enough to ascertain if there is
a conspiracy to keep up to an inordinate-
ly high altitude the prices on such victuals
as butter and eggs, market products,
meats, bread, milk, pie, scrapple. angel
cake, terrapin, fish, frankfurters, cboco-

ties. That's right, and while the COM
