The House of Representatives spent the greater part of last week digging canals across Panama and Nicaraugua, and on Thursday the House passed the bill authorizing the construction of the caual across the isthmus at Nicaraugua by an almost unanimous vote, but it was supposed that the Senate would favor the Panama route, provided its French owners came down iu their figures. Rep.

Showalter introduced in the House a bill granting extra pay to officers and enlisted men of the volunteer service who in were assigned service in the Philippines. Two months' extra pay is provided for those who went to the islands and one month's pay for those who were mustered out before their regiments sailed. On Monday the House of Representatives spent the day in general discussion of the pension appropriation bill, the first of the annual budgets. The bill is the first since the Civil War to show a reduction over the previous year. The decrease is about $5,300,000.

The pension appropriation bill introduced for next year's pensions carries $188,846,480. Ex-Senator Shoup of Idaho, a former citizen of Armstrong county, is here accompanied by a number of prominent Idaho Republicans, among whom are Judge D. W. Stonerod. Mr.

United States senators were elected Tuesday, in three Maryland and Kentucky. In the Buckeye state. Joseph Foraker, Republican, was elected to succeed himself; in the Blue Grass state.

AJ the meatin? to held in Pittsburg, Saturday, of the Congressional sammitteasof Butler and Westmoreland souuties, it is said that the latter will asist that each cauuty ba given a delegate to the Congressional Convention for each 3000 Republican voters, and although Butler county is much the smaller of the two we think its Republi jans would prefer the popular vote of the district.

At a meeting held in Pittsburg, Tuesday, another unsuccessful effort was made by representatives of Washington, Beaver and, Lawrence counties to arrive at some agreement on the method to be employed in nominating a Republican candidate for Congress in the Twentyfourth district. All the Republican candidates were there. Washington county held out for the popular vote system. Lawrence county wanted a modified conferee system. Washington said it would never agree to anything but popular vote, and Lawrence said it would never ccncede to the demands of Washington.

Beaver presented the conferee system of an equal number of representatives from each county. The meeting finally adjourned with a possible compromise in sight. Lawrence suggests that it will accept a modified popular vote system by which the county will not have too great an advantage. The plan is to divide each county into 15 districts, as compact and equal in size as possible, the divisions to be made by the respective county committees The voters will then designate by popular vote their first, second and third choice for Congress, and the candidate receiving a majority of the votes for first choice is to be the nominee. As Mayor of Greater New York.

Seth Low will decline to hold stock in any concern which has dealings with the city government in the remotest way. It was learned on Tuesday that he had disposed of over a million dollars' worth of securities in various financial and other institutions which might seek or desire to be city depositories. Many of these stocks be has had for years, and criticism of him on account of these holdings would not be easy, but to absolutely free himself from the least obligation he has made a clean sweep. The stocks and bonds he has disposed of are of a gilt-edge order. Many of them were inherited from his father, and had stood in the family from the time the companies were organized.

They cannot be duplicated as income producers, it is said. FIRST cousins may not enter into a legal marriage contract in Pennsylvania. The new law providing against marriage within this degree of conssnguinitv wenj into effect a few days ago. This, however, will by no means prevent cousins from marryintr, if they so dispose. By having the ceremony performed in a State where no such legal objection exists, the marriage will be valid.

It is provided by the United States Constitution that no State shall enact laws which will abrogate tha laws of another State. Thus the provisions can apjilv only to marriages which may be celebrated in to citizens of the State who marry under other jurisdictions. Euclid.

DURING the eighteen years that the Brooklyn suspension bridge lias been thrown open to the public service, 660.000,000 person have crossed it That is about eight times as many people as live in the United States, or more than are in America and Europe combined.

As to Borougli Affairs.

ED. our Town Council is asking us to vote them $57,444 32, or two per cent, additional on an assessed valuation of nearly three millions, it be comes pertinent for the citizens of the town to inquire as to the expenditure of previous appropriations, the debt of, the general receipts, and the fixed charges against the town: also the general management of the town's affairs. Some of the late expenditures have seemed ridiculous. For instance, late last fall the Council built a ten-foot culvert across E. Fulton while for the same water, where it crosses Bluff St.

they had shortly before repaired a three-foot culvert, which had partially been washed out by a flood: and that water continues to enter the big end of a funnel. On Mercer St. a good bridge, with a span of 16 to 20 feet, has been all summer and is now obstructed by a slab fence, which occupies more than half the channel. Some of the fixed charges notably that for the lighting of our streetsare exorbitant. Another thing, the Council has not been enforcing its own ordinances notably those for the opening of streets, and thereby laying the town liable to suits for damages.

Nobody is kicking about progress and improvement, but something seems to be wrong, and if it can be bettered by a change in the personal of the Council, now is the time to consider the matter. Both parties should hold suggestion meetings or conferences in each ward of the town on Saturday evening of this week, and both will hold primary elections on Satnrday of next week, from 1 to 7 p.m., at the usual polling paces Few of us, outside of the Council, are as well posted on the borough's affairs as we should be, aud now is the time to investigate WEST ENDER.

Ticket Scalpers Unwisely The action of the convention of the Federation of Labor atScranton in adopting a resolution pledging the Federation to do everything possible to prevent the passage through Congress of an anti-scalping bill was not a very creditable performance. There was vigororous opposition to the resolution, one of the delegates telling of a case where forty-five thousand tickets had been forged on one railroad and sold by scalpers. )nly a few days ago a ticket scalper in Washington sold to a stranger a ticket on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and took the man's last dollar for the ticket, but when the man presented the ticket to go on the train it was promptly taken np as illegitimate The ticket scalper refused to refund the money, and the man was unable to get home. That is only one of many similar cases reported almost every day. The ticket the scalper sold was a non transferable ticket and had been issued to a person whose name was written on the ticket.

But the unsuspecting man who purchased the ticket was informed that the conditions printed on the ticket were of no account, though the man JU found to the contrary. And yet that is the kind of business the Federation of Lalior pledges itself to sustain. in Philadelphia Press. I Advertise in the CITIZEN. i Evans City.
