THURSDAY EVENING-MARCH 6 1902 CALL FOR STATE CONVENTION. General Frank Keeder. chairman of the Republican state committee, has issued the call for the Republican state convention. It reads as follows: To the Republican electors of Penneylvania: 1 am directed by tbe RepuV llcan state committee to announce that the Republicans of Pennsylvania by tuelr duly chosen representatives, meet In convention at the Opera, house, in the city of Uarrisburg. on Wednesday, June 11, 1902, at 10:30 a.

fcr the purpose of nominating candidates for the following offices: One person for the office of governor. One person for the office of lieutenant governor. One person for tlie office of secretary of Internal affairs. In accordance with the rules governing the organization, the representation in the state convention will be based on the vote polled at the late presidential election. Under the rules each legislative district is entitled to one delegate for every two thousand votes cast for the presidential electors in 1000, and an addltiona delegate for each fraction of two thousand votes polled iu of one of the Republican state FRANK thousand.

Secretaries. THEY ARE UNEASY. Tho friends of the ship subsidy bill talking of petting it.through the senate In two Imt-aliirin is mtui- ifttitcd over Its probable fate in the house. The congressional campaign is already causing uneasiness and ninny members of congress are afraid that the subsidy bill Is not exactly popular. This fear is not without a foundation.

The former bill was not so free from suspicion that it could lie hailed with universal approval, and it its natural that this suspicion should attach to the present measure having the same siKjnsors. RURAL DELIVERY PATRONAGE. M'heii Chairman Loud, of tlie committee on postoffices. states tlie failure or passage of tbe pending bill 'or the classification- and placing un- Icr contract of the rural free delivery carriers will determine whether the country iimxt pay sixty or twenty iiilliuiis for that service, his description of it as one of the most important measures before the present con- is not overdrawn. The- principal objections made yesterday were from southern Dt-ntocrats, who under the system arc allowed to name one-half the carriers in tlieir districts.

Their protests took the rather humorous form of au allegation that contract system would permit the jiostof- lice department to build np a pclitir.il machine, forgetting the obvious fart that their own plea for being allowed to retain the patronage was bas-tl upon a similar desire. Northern Hemo- erals somewhat plaintively complained that they were not given their and joined with the Republicans. llctween a contract system, with the chance that some administration might seek to it for jiolitieal purposes, mill the present system, avowedly partisan, there sliouhl no hesitancy. Hut has it not occurred to any of these icntleuicn so much afraid of their opponents gaining political advantage Ibat the extension of the civil service law to the system would remove all danger to eillier side and ensure best service for tlK 1 country, which, after -all. is what the people who are We ipiitf agree that lion.

John Hay is the man of all men to write the his- tury of William McKinU-y's life and public services, together with the tremendous epoch of which that life and those services constituted tlie dominating force. Mr. Hay's tribute to the lamented shall not elieain-u it with the name of question from the realm of con- troveisy. It was an utterance timed to such a noble key that, but for the wealth of its knowledge and the variety of seenicd information, it would have poem.

All the senators and representatives who care for the honor of our government should urge and insist that an un- thorative investigation be made of the charges of cruelty against the of t'lif Philippines which have been brou2ht in Various publicationfi afld fcy various alleged witnesses against our soldiers and auxiliaries there. Such an investigation could be properly carried on only by a special committee of congress, on which the minority in both houses should be represented. If the people shall realize the volume of testimony that is now ap- tiarently offered, will not lie slow to demand, in a way that will brook no evasion or denial, that the truth tie laid bare and that if any criincs aptiust hliiuaility committed they be punished in an exemplary manner. Ir is difficult to ln-lievei that American officers and soldiers can have permitted the atrocities which in manj letters and verbal statements are described as having taken place; much less is if credible that they Should liavi taken part in them, Wo shall hot ae ct-pt the charges as even probable un loss fully proven through honest competent investigation. But it musi Ite owned that a prima facie case of some weight si-ems to have been presented.

Allowance, of course, must be made for the demoralizing effect of tin war that is Iteing waged in the Phil Ippines contrary to the principles human liberty and out- noblest politi cal traditions. That the better Bensi btlrttes of some of otir soldiers uavi been dulled, if not deadened, by tliei service there, should not be surprising There can be nothing lost by. a fai investigation of the military service ii the Philippines. We do Hot believe tha the majority of even the imperialist! senators and representatives woul willinglv cover np such atrocities as have be'en charged, if they exist. The investigation, iu any event, would doubtless bring the people of the T'ntted States ninny facts connected with administration of affairs in the archipelago which they ought to Times.

Tlie train due here at 11:07 Wednesday morning, also came iu late ami was drawn by two hx-omotives. A BUSY MAX. Mr.

One young man was engaged all day at one switch in front of the local passenger tracks strong gale, blowing at tho rate; of 30 miles an hour, would come along and blow them full again.

The railroads felt the touch of the storm, all trains from western points being delayed.

ANXIOUS FOR PRINCE HENRY Berlin Authorities Feared Polish natic Might Attempt Violence, Berlin, March is felt here that the flight of Prince Henry through the United States is now drawing to a close without any untoward Incident, for notwithstanding Emperor William's entire confidence as to the safety of Prince Henry, oth ers in authority have had misgivings that some Polish fanatic in Chicago wrought up over the conflicts and na tional feeling in Polish Prussia, might attempt something violent. The prestige of Prince Henry has been immensely increased in Germanj by the impression he has made- upon the Americans. His behavior in th United States is looked upon here as natural, dignified amThappily adaptei to the character of the Americans After his return home the prince wil probably be entrusted with a large share in public affairs, the impression being that Emperor William will fini something else of first importance fo him to do.
