H.G.SHUPP Citizens of Pennsylvania—The event In which we participate presents some It is understood that the representatives of Great* Britain and Italy do not feel It incumbent on them to await the coming of Baron Speck von Sternburg before beginning their conferences with Mr. Bowen.

The uncertain quantity in the affair, as was poitited out. lies in the popular sentiment of Venezuelans, and the bombardment is believed to Imperil the progress of peaceful settlement. For it is thought that If the early unofficial reports, which record a loss of life on the German warship, are correct, then a punitive expedition in force to avenge the earlier defeat is to be expected.

Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 20.—In his annual report to the United Mine Workers' convention today, President Mitchell recommended a demand on the part of bituminous mine workers fV a substantial increase In wages on tiTe ground that the operators are reaping big profits, and urged the men to stand firm for a run-of-the-mlne basis. He also urged an advance of wageB for inside and outside laborers, the establishment of a fixed differential of seven cents a ton on a run-ofmine basis between pick and machine mining, this differential to cover tho entire competitive field. PLATT RE-ELECTED TODAY. Carries Both Branches of New York unusual features. This state has a population of 6,302.115, greater than that of England in the time of Elizabeth, twice that of Holland when the leading maritime power of the world, and twice that Qf the United States when Washington became president. Her resources are almost boundless. Her revenues amount lu the annual sum of $17,727,432.46. The floating indebtedness of about three and a half millions of dollars which existed four years ago has been paid off during the last administration, and she is now substantially without debt of any kind. She pays each year for the maintenance of public schools and of charities more than any other American commonwealth. The lands of her citizens are not taxed for her benefit, and the tax rate in her large cities Is less than in any other of the great municipalities of the country. The governorship of Pennsylvania is an office therefore which is one of the great executive places of the earth. No man, whatever may be his capacity or what the manner in which he has been called, ought to approach it save with humble steps and with a grave sense of Its Importance and responsibilities. Relying upon Divine Providence, proud of the exceptional achievements oi this forceful and efficient people and depending for support upon their virtue and good sense, I have taken in your presence the oath of office, and 1 go forward to the performance of the duties and to see to it so far as I may be able that, under the constitution, the laws are faithfully administered. men, but both the engineer and the tireman of the freight were beyond help.

Y„ Jan. 20.—United States Senator Thomas C. Piatt was? re-elected by the Legislature today. In the Senate, Piatt received 25 votes and John B. Stanchfleld, Democrat, 21. Senators Brackett, Rimwn and Elsberg voted for Elihu Root. In the Assembly, Piatt received 87 votes and Stanch field 57. The fact that the Venezuelans have almost completely submitted to the demands of the allies and consented to meet their claims Is believed to demonstrate Castro's desire to avoid a conflict, but how far he will be able to maintain his pacitic attitude in the face of actual warfare such as a bombardment indicates is a matter of grave doubt here.

The I.uke Shore train was brought in by a switch engine, her own locomotive having been disabled owing to the breaking of steam and water connections. From the engineer's statement It appears that the train was stopped by the derailing of the tender by a rail broken in tho freight' wreck. Beyond the scare and siiakeup from the sudden stopping of the train and the long delay waiting for assistance the passengers suffered no inconvenience. Evans Bros. Best Put.

There is no more dangerous/public vice than the prevalent afectation of disrespect for those who fare engaged in the performance of the v ork of the cities, the commonwealths and the nation, because it is in effect an attack upon popular government, and its tendency is to undermine our institutions. There was a time when proper deference was shown even to those officials lowest in authority and the cultivation of a like spirit is a much-needed public virtue. The other features were the success of the Hoot and Shoe Workers' union in partially fulfilling its agreement with the union stamp manufacturers by supplying twenty-five new men at the Walton & Logan factory, the meeting of the Bhoe manufacturers at which it was resolved to ask for an injunction restraining the Knights of Labor from interfering with the new men and the complete system of picketing in spite of the severe cold by the strikers.
