A member of the cabinet who took part In conferences at Peterhof says that within u fortnight an imperial ukase will be issued directing the agrarian commission to begin the distribution of 1,800,- 000 dessiatines (a dessiatine is about two and a half acres) belonging to the appanages, 4,0(K),(KM) dessiatines belonging to the crown and 2.000,000 dessiatines of land offered through the Peasants' bank. Only the forests and} lands belonging to the state, the pres-j ervatlon of which Is considered ueces-' sary for the future agricultural pros-' parity of the country, will be reserved. Havana, Aug. 24. — Font Sterling, secretary of the treasury, cleared up in a public statement a misleading announcement made at the palace to the effect that the Cuban government had asked the United States for eight rapid' fire guns manned by American artillerymen to be used in the suppression of the Insurrection. The facts are, according to the secretary, that the government has ordered from an American arms manufacturing company four rapid fire guns and that these pieces will be manned by former members of the artillery branch of the American army now here. If these guns prove to be effective four or more additional guns will be ordered, and It is expected that the experienced New York, Aug. 24.—William Barnes, Jr., chairman of the Republican state executive eainniittee, after a conference, with Governor Itlgglns came to New York and announced that the governor was a candidate for renoiulnation.Legislature in Third.

The election Yesterday was the,final day for the registration of candidates for the Democratic nominations for county offices, and it was an exceedingly lively day for the Democratic leaders, who hovered around the secretary's office, in the Bennett building, Wllkesbarre, all day long- Conferences between the various factions were the order of the day. The big surprise of the day was the entrance of ex-County Controller Oeorge R- McLean into the race for the Congressional nomination. Mr. McLean's name had scarcely been mentioned in connection with the nomination, so that considerable astonishment was created at headquarters when, a short time before the registrations closed, Attorneys Charles A. Shea and Peter MeCormick appeared and deposited the registration fee for McLean. They had scarcely left the office, when Attorney James H. Shea dropped into headquarters and revealed his determination to lock horns with ills old-time friend and patron. John T. Lenahan, by registering as a candidate for Congress. This made four candidates for the Congressional nomination. The complete list of registrations Is as follows:The' transaction will be financed through the Peasants' fiank.

While Interparliamentary and arbitration conferences are discussing and praying for the disarmament of tlie nations Richard Burdon tlaldane, British secretary for Avar, is actively hastening that end. He purposes to reduce tile British army at once by 20.000 men. The convention was called to order about 2: SO o'clock In Odd Fellows' Hall by district chairman, Howell Williams, of this city.

Nearly all the present restrictions upon the peasants as a class will also be removed.

The funeral of Chief Goltseff was the occasion of a ({'"••at demonstration by the Russian population. The condition of feeling is shown by the refusal of (Joltseff's widow to receive a wreath setlt by a Jewish society as a mark of Its disapproval 4of the assassination.

The place was protected by a very small detachment of rural guards, wliilc Guerni'S strength was much greater. The taking of l'inar de! ltio will be quite another matter, since there are in that vicinity twice as many troops as the insurgent I'ino Guerra can muster.

He fell unconscious after delivering the message in Ireland's cottage. Mr. Touhill wash attendance on the convention. He was called on for a speech and responded briefly, returning his thanks to the convention for the honor conferred on him. "The question about Hearst resolves itself into the persons about him, whoso ideas, working on the addled brain of Czolgosz, armed his hand to slay a president. Working along those lines, It is reflected in the conduct of that great leader of the Independence league in Brooklyn, Bird S. Color, who went along the line of the Brooklyn Kapid Transit last week inciting riot; also the great Sheriff Flaherty, who acted In a like manner, inciting riots. Instead of leaving to be settled by the courts the matters which belonged to There was « slight wreck on the Lehigh Valley cutoff yesterday afternoon,' near Oliver's Mills.

The contest was of special interest to Pittstonians, in view of the fact that the two candidates for the nomination are both residents of this city—Charles V. Touhill. who is a member of the city's common council, and William H. Dendle, a member of the lirm of Dendle Bros., marble dealers. For several weeks both have been busy campaigning. The primaries for the election of delegates took place last eve; ning, and a number of spirited contests were on throughout the district. In tills city there were several close contests, and friends of Mr. Dendle this morning Claimed ten out of the eleven delegates chosen. In the Fourth ward, Where Touhill resides. Mr. Touhill's delegate won out by one vote. In the Seventh ward Dendle's delegate won by a majority of seven. Situation in the Third considerable delay the car was replaced and the train proceeded.

That makes the position one of special importance, particularly when important questions come up in the committee for settlement.

The intruder was captured, lights were turned on, and he was discovered to lDe Louis Flelschnian, one of the boarders, who took quarters iu the house four weeks ago. Flelschman was arrested. and it was interesting to note the presence of several of the Democratic leaders, including Squire Keating, of Pittston township. "He is the man who lias made it safe for the big criminal to rob the millions of small people. He crawled through the open doorway ami his first thought was of his companions. He know he was seriously injured and decided that the host plan would be to notify Chief Engineer Ireland, as his strength was failing him, and he was suffering from the terrible burns. Adams and Connelly escaped through an open window and were uninjured save for a few slight burns. Public Opinion Varies, wntor Public opinion appears to vary, according to locality, from enthusiastic adherence to the government to open rebellion. In this city the general attitude Is one of loyalty. The opposition and independent newspapers discuss with analytical coldness the cry that if the government is not able to squelch the" insurrection within two months other forceful means must be employed for the restoration of peace. Th'ore are no ringing calls to arms. Tie Moderate newspapers print with approval the resolutions declaring adhesion to the government by their party organizations, but there lias been nothing which could be fairly described as a general rising of the people in defense of the government. When nominations for permanent chairman were called for, James Gibbons presented the name of Thomas Powell, of Miner's Mills, secretary of the convention; Henry Gill, of this city, presented the name of John M. Jones, of this city, and David Davis, of Avoca, presented the name of "He is the man who has refused to indict any criminal with money in his pocket. He is the man who has protected the ice trust, who has protected the Insurance thieves, who has not only laughed at the solemn promises that he made, but who has the Impudence to ask of the people now another otilce. He was on his way out of the mine at quitting time last evening, when he was squeezed between two cars in the gangway. He was rescued from his position by fellow employes, ansl was*removed to the hospital last evening. He did not recover consciousness after arriving at the hospital, and his death this morning followed. The district is normally Democratic by a large majority. The action of the labor unionists, in placing a candidate in the field, however, gives the Republicans a strong incentive for placing a candidate in the field. An effort has been made for the past few weeks to have the Republicans endorse the Labor nominee, Edward Burke, of this city, but the plan was not looked upon favorably by many of the rank and file of the party, who felt that the party had sufficient strength to warrant placing a candidate. Some of the leaders were not strongly opposed to the plan. The political battle for the election will be centered in this city, inasmuch as the three candidates are residents here. Thomas D.

A member of the cabinet who took part In conferences at Peterhof says that within u fortnight an imperial ukase will be issued directing the agrarian commission to begin the distribution of 1,800,- 000 dessiatines (a dessiatine is about two and a half acres) belonging to the appanages, 4,0(K),(KM) dessiatines belonging to the crown and 2.000,000 dessiatines of land offered through the Peasants' bank.

Havana, Aug. 24. — Font Sterling, secretary of the treasury, cleared up in a public statement a misleading announcement made at the palace to the effect that the Cuban government had asked the United States for eight rapid' fire guns manned by American artillerymen to be used in the suppression of the Insurrection. The facts are, according to the secretary, that the government has ordered from an American arms manufacturing company four rapid fire guns and that these pieces will be manned by former members of the artillery branch of the American army now here. If these guns prove to be effective four or more additional guns will be ordered, and It is expected that the experienced New York, Aug. 24.—William Barnes, Jr., chairman of the Republican state executive eainniittee, after a conference, with Governor Itlgglns came to New York and announced that the governor was a candidate for renoiulnation.Legislature in Third.

The big surprise of the day was the entrance of ex-County Controller Oeorge R- McLean into the race for the Congressional nomination. Mr. McLean's name had scarcely been mentioned in connection with the nomination, so that considerable astonishment was created at headquarters when, a short time before the registrations closed, Attorneys Charles A. Shea and Peter MeCormick appeared and deposited the registration fee for McLean. They had scarcely left the office, when Attorney James H. Shea dropped into headquarters and revealed his determination to lock horns with ills old-time friend and patron. John T. Lenahan, by registering as a candidate for Congress. This made four candidates for the Congressional nomination. The complete list of registrations Is as follows:The' transaction will be financed through the Peasants' fiank.

"The question about Hearst resolves itself into the persons about him, whoso ideas, working on the addled brain of Czolgosz, armed his hand to slay a president. Working along those lines, It is reflected in the conduct of that great leader of the Independence league in Brooklyn, Bird S.

Public Opinion Varies, wntor Public opinion appears to vary, according to locality, from enthusiastic adherence to the government to open rebellion. In this city the general attitude Is one of loyalty. The opposition and independent newspapers discuss with analytical coldness the cry that if the government is not able to squelch the" insurrection within two months other forceful means must be employed for the restoration of peace. Th'ore are no ringing calls to arms. Tie Moderate newspapers print with approval the resolutions declaring adhesion to the government by their party organizations, but there lias been nothing which could be fairly described as a general rising of the people in defense of the government. When nominations for permanent chairman were called for, James Gibbons presented the name of Thomas Powell, of Miner's Mills, secretary of the convention; Henry Gill, of this city, presented the name of John M.

The action of the labor unionists, in placing a candidate in the field, however, gives the Republicans a strong incentive for placing a candidate in the field. An effort has been made for the past few weeks to have the Republicans endorse the Labor nominee, Edward Burke, of this city, but the plan was not looked upon favorably by many of the rank and file of the party, who felt that the party had sufficient strength to warrant placing a candidate. Some of the leaders were not strongly opposed to the plan. The political battle for the election will be centered in this city, inasmuch as the three candidates are residents here. Thomas D.
