SITUATION IS GRAVE; HAVE SURPRISES EXPECTED. FEW ARE FIRST CLASS. Our Legation in Charge of French Mission. Only Sixteen, He Says, Jesse B. Carpenter was identified with Exeter borough for n great many years. Practically his whole life was spent within its borders, where he followed tho pursuit of an agriculturist. He was born In Kingston, January 23, 1840, son of John S. and Elizabeth Schooley Carpenter. When he was seven years old his father moved to Exeter borough and settled on the farm which is still the family land. He received his education In Exeter and attended Wyoming Seminary for some terms. Then, as his father and grand-father did before him, he took up the tilling of the soil and applied himself to the work of conducting the large farm that had been purchased by his father. • In 1861 he answered his country's call. In 18G6 he took up former occupation and, In addition, took up the cultivation of plants and flowers. In this department of work he was highly successful, us he was at farming, and His hot houses grew in size until they are now very extensive.

Washington, Jan. 13.—The statement oX Mr. Dalsell during the discussion of the Philippine bill in the house of representatives that it would cost $4.13 a hundred to lay Philippine sugar down in New York was disputed by Mr. Brooks, who placed the figure at $3.55. The friends of the bill, he said, claimed that under it but 200,000 tons of Philippine sugar would come here. Beet sugar men were not afraid of that amount, but were afraid of the amount they themselves believed would come, from 700,000 to 1,000,000 tons. Harrlaburg, Jan. 13.—It Is expected that when the Legislature meets in extra session on Monday there will be a resolution offered looking to the selection of officers, and there may be some surprises. Committees will also be arranged for, and men of experience say that five committees can cover all of the subjects for legislation covered by the governor. New York, Jan. 13.—Rear Admiral Joseph B. Coghlan delivered a speech to the Patria society at the Hotel Savoy In which he declared that the navy of the Vnlted States was far below the strength that the public believed it was and that instead of having forty fighting ships, as we have on paper, there were really only eighteen ships of the fighting class, and of these two were now out of order, so that our reftl navy consists of sixteen ships. Washington, Jan. 13.—The state department hhs been advised that cable communication with Venezuela has been Interrupted. its 'stock am franchise from a new It must be that when the cow was fed yesterday her hay appetizer was forgotten. "Bossy"—that is the cow's first name—was not accustomed to such treatment and evidently was not prepared to endure It. At any rate she strolled over to where a stairway led to the loft and, while no one was about, made her way upstairs. It Is no small accomplishment in a cow to be able to ascend a Might of open stairs, but "Bossy" accomplished It and was soon in the midst of a feast. company of jocal capitalists, and the I team Is now in their hands. # The of'ficers and director® of the new company are as follows: Mr. Reed, manager of the Bartel Brewing Co., president; secretary, George Hall, who was secretary of the old company; treas' urer, ex-County Commissioner A. D. Hay, who was treasurer of the old company; directors, Mr. Reed, Mr. Monks, of Dorranceton, Hon. Lorrle IHolcomb, Clint Honeywell, Andrew J. ' Lynch/, Fred. Garrlnger and Moses Eastman. It is the Intention of the new base ball management to work in harmony with the new athletic association that contemplates the establishment of a fine driving park on the west bank of the Susquehanna, opposite Wilkesbarre, and the games next season will be played on the new grounds. The difficulties between France and Venezuela are likely to reach an acute situation soon, arift it is understood here that France, impatient, will sever all diplomatic relatfons with Venezuela, withdrawing M. Talgny, the charge d'affaires of the French legation, together with all the others connected with the mission. As almost all of the bills have been prepared and submitted to high legal authority, It is not expected that there will be much discussion In committee. Members of the Touhlll family soon missed the cow from her accustomed place and a search was started. It was kept up for some time, but no cow was to be found. Just as one member of the party glanced Into the barn ttD see If the cow might have returned the sound of a low "moo-o-o" came from above. An upward glance and there the cow was seen standing at the head of the stairs, evidently wondering If the Touhlll family had started the cold water treatment. With the exception of the legislative apportionment bUl there will be very little debate on any of the measures. Jle compared our navy with that of Kngland and showed that we are so far inferior to that nation that it is almost useless to hope that we will ever catch up to our British cousins. France is exasperated with the attitude of President Castro, and serious results may follow. The "United States legation will probably look after French interests when the French mission at Caracas is abolished. The Filipino laborer who would produce the sugar, Mr. Brooks said, wears for clothes a breecbcloth; he gets bis breakfast from a tree, bis dinner from the same tree and works for 10 cents a day. This is the labor that will be placed in competition with the American laborer. In a tour of the hotels It Is learned that few legislators are expected before Sunday morning, which means that there will be no caucus unless one Is held on Monday morning before the Legislature meets. Tho speech caused a stir among the 200 members present, and Coghl&n's fearlessness in speaking publicly of the weakness of the navy was broadly commented on. When the call for volunteers rang throughout the country Mr. Carpenter volunteered and entered the army as a private In Co. N, of the 28th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. At the battle of Antletam In 1862 he received a wound In the arm that disabled him from further service and brought about his honorable discharge. The present breach In the diplomatic relations between France and Venezuela is technically chargeable against the personality of M. Taigny, the French charge at Caracas, but the real issue is the attack by President Castro upon the properties and franchises of the French Cable company. Francs'* Real Grievance. DEMAND IS DULL. A SENSATIONAL CHARGE Mr. Longwortli (O.) gave the bouse his impressions of his Philippine trip lust summer. He was greeted with applause, and marked attention was given his castlgation of the Filipino character. He favored the bill as the best means of developing the Filipino into a condition of self government, at which moment he would be more than glad to drop the Islands. Ships Good to Look At. Anthracite Trade |p the West Has "England has eleven ironclads alone," said Admiral Coghlan. "In her second class she has ships of tirst class fighting material, but we do not place any lirst class ships on our second class. Our vessels are good enough to look at, and they will give as good an account as possible when needed. When It ct\me to an effort to make "Bossy" go down stairs she refused to budge an inch. Descending a flight of steps was not among her accomplishments. Coaxing and using force were of no avail and a new metho.d of bringing the cow back to terra flrma was necessary. One plan and another were rejected and Anally several Doards were sawed from about the loft, at a point not far from the ground. Bundles of straw were spread about and then "Bossy" was pushed off. She landed without damage to herself and went to her supper, no worse for the varied experience of a strenuous day.

The climax came on New Year's day, when the French government, supposing that a satisfactory settlement had been reached, received with the usual honors of the New Year day reception the Venezuelan minister at Paris, only to learn that. President Castro had refused to do likewise for M. Taigny at Caracas. of a Duryea Man. In societies and lodges, Mr. Carpenter held a prominent place. He was a member of St. John's lodge, F. & A.

Denies Future to Islands. coal anywhere and that they are at a loss to explain these conditions unlets they are due to the weather. That these reports are well founded Is evident from the amount of Independent coal offered In Chicago during the past week. Jobbers, in very many instances, have been long on tnis grade of coal and have aacriiiced prices ten to fifteen" cents a ton from the circular basis In order to move It. in some cases the coal has been up to demurrage, and even lower seil.ng prices have been named to move small lots promptly. Chestnut coal Is In better supply with nearly all the shlpp'n* companies, owing to the fact that the demand has fallen off. The tonnage coming forward iiom uie uuiicb p. usably Is not any heavier than normal for this season of the year, but with consumption rather light owing to the prevailing temperature it follows that shipping companies are getting caught up with their business. Small egg and stove coal is in heavy supply, and some of the Chicago shipping companies fear that they will be obliged to carry some tonnage over into the new mining year unless demand shows a positive increase. It Is Alleged by 111m Wife that oil Jan "I cannot bring into my mind that there is any brilliant future for the Philippine Islands, and with the sole exception for the love of family and the home that the average Filipino possessas I can see nothing bright in the Filipino character," he declared.

He was married in 1872 to Miss Charlotte Mr. Russell, the American minister at Caracas, has been instructed to tnke up the Crltchfleld asphalt claim with the government of Venezuela.
