President Ar.gell of Michigan University, who was appointed minister to Turkey with a special view to securing the payment of damages for loss suffered by American missionaries during, the Armenian massacres, has failed in his mission and will soon return tJ the United Stares. He will be succeeded by Oscar S. Strauss, of New York. who. it is hoped, will moot with better success.

The appointment of President Angeil. It will be recalled, was not Mossing to the sultan, because of his connection with the missionary society in charge of the Armenian schools and because of pome alleged remarks by Kim that wove not to the liking of the ruler of the faithful. There came from Constanti some sort of a protest against receiving President Ar.gell as minister, tui it was finally withdrawn and the educator was accorded the usual courtesies when he reached the Turkish He has. however, been unable to secure payment of the damages asked by this government, and in extenuation "of (he" failure it is explained that the sultan is stilt prejudiced against him. which is undoubtedly the case.

Mr. Strauss, who will endeavor to accomplish what President Angeil has failed to do. has previously served as minister at Constantinople. He was appointed by Iresidciu Cleveland, and although his term of service was comparatively fcrief. he made a creditable record, bin it is doubtful if he can succeed any better than did President Angeil in securing from the Turkish government payment of the American claims, for it is evident that the sultan does r.ot intend to come down with the cash unless compelled to do so.

Many Hawaiian? have been disappointed. They wanted to enlist under the stars and stripes and take a hand in the fight. Probably that privilege will be theirs the next time the United States finds itself with a war on its hands. Today's Convention. The Republican state convention which meets In Harrisburg today should register the will of the people.

It can best do that by placing Colonel William A. Stone in nomination for governor. We say this because it is clearly in evidence ihat he is the popular choice. Other candidates have their friends and admirers, tutt none of them has anything Jike the indorsement the people have lertt to the candidacy of Colonel Stone. He is by ail odds their favorite, and if the will of Uie majority prevails, Irs naxne will be placed at the head of the tick n.

Among the others who have baeoi mentioned in connection with the grtibernatorial office are men who would fKl the position creditably. About this there Is no doubt, but none of them is the superior of Colonel Stone, whom the Republican masses most desire shall lead them in the coming campaign, and it would, in our judgment, be a mistake fof the convention to set him aside. merely to gratify the few who claim tTrat he should be slaughtered in fife interests cf the party's welfare. Th's is an id'e contention. If any Republican can be elected Colonel Stone can be.

and since fce is fairly entitled to the nomination he should receive it, as there is every indication he will. We believe the convention can be trusted to do its work wisely and that the ticket it nominates will be such as to command the support cf the great mass Cf loyal Republicans and that it will be triumphantly elected in November. One of the richest men in Springfield, Ohio, anxious to serve his country, enlisted as a private, bringing up in the Fifth regiment, the commander of which. Colonel Charles Anthony, formerly Served as his coachman. Spanish Spies Alarmed.

The Spanish spies in the United States, of whom there are not a few, are supposed to be quaking In their boots. The head of the Spanish spy system is Senor du Bosc. who has his headquarters in Montreal, and he carelessly sliowed a letter containing the names cf his subordinates to be abstracted from his apartments. So great was the agitation of Senor du Bosc when he discovered his loss that in frantic haste he caused the arrest of the head of a private detective agency in Montreal. He endeavored to bluff the prisoner into returning the letter, but the plan did not work, nor could Senor du Boseproduce any evidence to substantiate the charge he brought against the detective.

Who abstracted the letter is of course not known, but it is altogether likely that the document found its way into hands of the heads of the United Stares secret service, and that as a consequence such cf the Spanish spies as do not escape from the country will find their careers speedhy checked. As the particulars of the cutting of the Cienfuges cable are made known it dawns upon the American mind that Jhe men who performed that perilous feat displayed a cooiness and sel dom surpassed even in time of war. The Tankee sailor is a man to be depended upon in time of danger. The Oklahoma Atrocity. A young Seminole Indian, named Kinuer H.

Hargo, under arrest at Guthrie, Oklahoma territory, is reported to have confessed that it was he who murdered Mrs. Laird, fcr whose death two young Indians named Sampson and MoGeisey, were burned at the stake by a mob of white men. The atrocity was perpetrates last January and the details as published soon afterward were appallingly horrible. There was. it appears, little evidence to connect the two young men with the crime which was made the excuse for the terrible punishment inflicted upon them, and the government has shown a steadfast inclination to bring the guilty members of the mob to justice.

'Nearly COO men are now under indictment for the burning of Sampson and McGeisey, and should be rigidly prosecuted for their participation in the heinous and unpardonable crime. Of ccurse. it is possible that Hargo's confession may be false end that It was made to serve some purpose not revealed, but it would no: be surprising were it true. The government has Investigated the matter closely and as a result has he! 1 and still holds that the victims of the burning were innocent of the crime alleged against them. Put whether Hargo's conresston Is genuine or not can make no difference so far as the duty of the Oklahoma authorities is concerned.

It is their business to prosecute to the bitter end every man suspected of having had a hand in the torture of Sampson and Mctleisey. Such a crime is too revolting to be overlooked, no matter what the excuse. It is disgrace to the civilisation of the century, a deep, damnable stain en the history of Oklahoma, which appears the more odious and hateful, the longer the punishment of the guilty persons is deferred. There should be no tolsration for mob law anywhere in this country and thos; who inflict it. or attempt to inflict it.

The murderer is. as a rule, cowardly and brutal in the extreme, but he is not half so cowardly and brutal as the mob whicn without sanction of authority or law, violently puts to death the person who is the object of Us anger.

It Is said that nearly 0.000.000 of the inhabitants of Spain have no visible means of support.

If this be true it is not to be wondered at that the Sagast; government fears the people. Rriirht Outlook for a Oommlssira The outiook for an agreement with Canada whereby u'l controversies arising between that country and the United States shall be referred to a commission for settlement is exceedingly bright. The preliminary negotiations, recently conducted resulted in the understanding that such a commission shall be established and that a treaty between the Imperial government and the United States government for the complete adjustment of all questions of dispute shall be framed. A halt in the proceedings, however, is now necessary to give the British government an opportunity to examine the agreement which cannot be ratified without its consent. There is no particular reason, however, for believing that the agreement will be disapproved by the British government whose friendly feeling for this country was never so marked as it is now.

When and where the commission will first meet are questions not yet determined, but it is believed that its first session will be held at Quebec this summer. It will find plenty of work to do, for among important matters with which it will be required to deal are such questions as the Bering sea. North Atlantic and lake fisheries; border immigration: mining regulations in the Klondike and British North American possessions, and the determination of the Alaskan boundary line.

That Cadiz fleet is well understood to be much more formidable on paper than it is in the water. It will not cut much of a figure in the war. No one in this country is able to comprehend what Spanish statesmen mean when they jabber about wanting an honorable peace. What has honor to do with a nation like Spain, anyway?

They can tell a good thiry; without rubbing their noses against it.

It is a matter of no concern to Admiral Dewey's fellow citizens what his politics or his religion may be. He has proved himself a brave and loyal American citizen and that is the main thing in the eves of his countrymen. It is observed that those who were clamoring loudly a short time ago for the recognition of the Cuban Republic have suddenly abandoned that cry. Albany Journal. That's all right.

When a fellow finds out he is playing on the wrong string he quits unless he is a fool. That there has been some sort of a disturbance at Santiago seems certain, but particulars are lacking on which to base intelligent editorial comment. At this writing most of the information received has come through Spanish sources, a sufficient indication of its unreliability. The opinion of Lord Dufferln on the much talked about subject of an Ahglo American alliance ought to command as much respect as would that of any other Ertiish diplomat or statesman. "I am sure," he says, "there is no Englishman who does not earnestly desire that the best possible understanding and close amity should exist between the United States and Great Britain; but the question of an alliance, using the term in its diplomatic and techinical sense, is one which involves various issues which for the moment, it seems to me.

it would be premature to view of the subject is one that no doubt commends itself to a great many of our own statesmen. Not least among the benefits of the present war le the fact that it has begun to accustom our nation to larger scope of vision which it must have before It can fulfill its commercial destiny. Chicago Tribune. The hand of Providence Is doubtless In it. This nation is designed to play a big part in the affairs of the world and the people knew it; but they had become so absorbed in their shops, stores, banks and counting houses that they had almost forgotten that Uncle Sam had a mission to fulfill for the benefit of mankind In general.

The b. st feature of the Red Cross is Its international character, its readiness to minister to both friend and 'foe, its recognition of the brotherhood' of man despite the narrow divisions of race and creed.

A notable Instance of Its broad, humane spirit is the recent gift of 000 francs from the French Red Cross to the American society. Minneapolis Tribune. The Spanish government Is making haste slowly, even from the Spanish point of view, about sending the reserve squadron which has long boon tilting out at Cadis Into active service. Probably the feeling is deep and potent at Madrid that the move warships Spain sends where the Americans can get at them the fewer vessels will carry the Spanish flag at the end of the war.

Washington Star. Lieutenant Cartel Carranza remains to console Canada for the departure of the ingenious Polo. Unhappy Carranza. fierce for a duel with some American "of his class." and pining for the appearance of such an antagonist.

Carranza is a marksman of almost miraculous accomplishment: fired a revolver at Hudson's bay and hit a crow on the American boundary. Yet no American will come and make him happy.

The Pnty of Congress. From the New York Sun. When a peaceful nation like ours begins war there is certain to be manifested much public impatience at the slowness with which the measures for national defence are devised and perfected. The body, however, that will deserve the first attention of this feeling until Hawaii has been locked fast within the Union, is neither the war department, nor the navy department, nor the administration, but congress. It has before it a war measure of the first importance, a bill to annex Hawaii and so to remove the anxieties, the restraints and the disadvantages continuing while the Sandwich Islands are kept out of our control.

While men are pouring in from all parts of the country to strengthen the army and the navy. It behooves congress to heed the appeals of the President and of the high officers of both army and navy to strengthen the country by annexing Hawaii. Annexation, instead of involving a foolhardy, sacrifice of thousands of immature troops and the consequent imperiling of the national cause at the behest of Impatient popular clamor, such as has been known before in our history, will be the deliberate performance of a deed which patriotism and farseeing statesmanship beg for as an immediate source of national strength and repese. We have been ready to move the United Statos flag to the Sandwich Islands it; was taken away from there by the William McKinley's predecessor. The sign of the United Stat rs cannot be stamped on the Sandwish Islands toa soon.

Not Led. From the Indianapolis Journal. "To you talk, one would think I led you to marry me." "No. I was driven, not led. I was hungry." Mortality In War.

From the New York Tribune. The rate of mortujity in war Is not as high as many imagine, and. such as it is. it is 'caused more by sickness and bad management than by actual battle. In the Napoleonic wars the British In.

res were 5 2 3 per cent, a year, the two thirds of 1 per cent, arising from casualties In battle and thf 5 per cent, from sickness and other causes. Of course, sanitary conditions are now much better, but disease is still more potent than the sword. In the Franco German war of 1870 71 the losses were about 5 per cent, of all engaged, and were divided pretty evenly between battles and disease. The rate of loss among the officers was much higher than among the men. Down to the present time the losses of Spain in the present war have been fairly heavy, but those on the American side have been too few for reckoning tneir percentage.

There are many ways to judge of the cleanliness of a city and of the character of its inhabitants.

straws show which way the wind blows; but there are various kinds of stritw. A careless visitor makes superficial observations, which are apt to mislead. It is the small straws, the details of daily life and business, which should be taken Into consideration. Among these details, none teaches a more eloquent lesson than the appearance of the barber shops, strange and ultra masculine though tills argument may appear. To state an example, take a certain portion of Boston.

Washington street, a lit tie above the business centre of the city. You will find the stores large, the theatres in plenty, and the street crowded day and night. But if you want to know what class of people inhabit the side streets thereabouts, look at the barber shops. Dirty floor, unclean windows, soiled newspapers' on the table. Towels which do duty, not per customer, but by the hour.

A saving of soap and great economy In hot water. The neighborhood of Hester street. New Y'ork. is worse and tlnds an undoubted certificate for ill health in the condition of the barber shops. At a certain sea resort near Amesbury.

there Is a barber whose place and methods are a direct condemnation of every customer who takes the risk of submitting to his manipulations. In parts of the Southern states people sometimes describe the size and progressivc ness of a town by tell'ng you: "Oh! Upper Marlboro is quite a teown. I reckon. It's got tyew barber shops." I have not seen any barber shop In Scranton which could be classed with the kind referred to hereabove. On the contrary, there is neatness around every chair in which it has been my pleasure to submit to the caresses of the knife.

Prices very, very moderate: astonishingly so, considering the and furniture of most of the shops. Best of all. very little, if any, u'ging to try this or that hair restorer, or buy such and such a new fangled wash. Talking about washing. In Pittsburg.

when the executioner his finished shaving his victim, the real fun only Just starts, for then the miserable man in the chair is thoroughly soaked with soapsuds all over his face and neck: next they sort him with a hard brush: then he Is rubbed with towel which gtives you a sensation as if a ribbed window shutter were pushed up and down your cheeks. That's done to get rid of the soot which forms SO per cent tor more) of real soft coal atmosphere. In Europe the barbers do not eonde scend to remove the lather from the faces of their suffering customers. Once in a while you strike a real European barber in the smaller cities of Canada. In Frederioton, for instance, where the permanent military school for Canadian militia 1s garrisoned, there was a cruel man, a year or two ago, who practised his trade after the fashion of his London apprenticeship.

He made soap suds in a brass plate, which the customer had to hold underneath his own chin, while he was being lathered. As there were none but ordinary chairs with straight backs in this shop, it required considerable will power to hold your head back for twenty minutes or more. This crim inals' razors were instruments left over from the inquisition, and at the end of the shaving farce you were left to your own resourcts to bring yourself back to a respectable appearance. Perhaps the coming Americo Brltish alliance will improve the methods of this artist. Under the thinking Gap.

In another column of this paper will be found an item about the "zoo" which is being established at Nay Aug park. Zoological gardens are not only interesting to grown pecple. they are amusing to children and Instructive to everybody. Xo matter how much one reads about the habits and looks of animals, it is necessary to see them alive, to form any adequate opinion. Of late a great number of "zoos" have been started all over the country.

Usually they commence on a small scale, and increase the number of animals as occasion offers.

When dining out do not ask to be helped to the same dish twice; try always to be self reliant and help yourself. Do not cut your meat Into bits before you begin to eat It. Cut it as you eat It. Do not eat It without cutting it, as you should avoid wounding your hostess's feelings as far as possible. The American Notion.

From the New York Independent. The virile nations of the earth are five, the grown, strong nations, the nations that are trying to develop civilization. They are the United States. Great Britain. Germany, Russisa and France.

The development of the world is in their hands; and the best of them, the two that have the highest ethical ideas with their civilization, that can do most and best for the world, are Great Britain and the United States. These two nations if they will only work together, can put their veto on the rest of the world. They are the best cf friends, they make no entangling alliances and do r.ot need to; but If they can only understand each other they can control the world's history. They ought to do it. Our nation now is to be a world power.

We are to be felt, and, we will be felt only for good, in the world's politics. We cannot escape our destiny, and we do not want to. We have a mission and must accomplish it for liberty and humanity. Our institutions, our freedom, have been a lesson to the world, and such liberty is a lesson to the world, and such liberty is the world's only hope. It is our duty to help the world to such liberty; not to stand behind a safe rampart and give them our worthless moral sympathy, but to take part in bestowing human rights on human beings.

This we are doing for Cuba and for the Phllippina Islands. Spain cannot govern a colony. This war ought not to stop till Stain is stripped of every possession out of the peninsula that would be free of her tyranny. God has put this task on us, and we should see that it is completly done. But what shall we do with the Philippine islands? One thing we must not, cannot do, deliver them back to Spain.

We may have to keep and rule them for a while. We can do it well enough. It Is not a. task too hard for us. New conditions impose new duties.

Maturity compels responsibility. Away with the faithlessness, the Infantile cowardice that refuses to accept the obligations that strength implies. Congress ought to accept Hawaii at once. If Hawaii wants our free trade, why should we be too selfish to give it? We do not want Cuba, and have said so, but Cuba must be free; and if free Cuba wants our free rule, why should we fear? Is our mission done when we have served ourselves? Have we no mlssUon to serve others? Shall we make the excuse of Cain; "Am I my brother's keeper." Then Jet our nation, grown to man's estate, take man's duties. Let us not hesitate to Join Great Hritian.

FAKOUS ROCKS OF THE WORLD From tha Philadelphia Record. The floating stone of Core Is a great natural wonder. It is of great bulk and shaped like an Irregular cube. To all appearance It Is resting upon the ground and totally free from support on any side. If two men standing at opposite ends hold each the opposite end of a thread they will be able to pass the thread under the stone without encountering any obstacle.

The natives consider this stone as one of their greatest national possessions, and at one time it was an object of adoration and was consulted as an Oracle, and even now It has a temple erected in its honor, known as the temple of Foil Shih Mino. or Temple of the God of Mystery." On account of their great siie the "Stones of Baalbec," are world renowned and it Is asserted that the largest quarried stones in the world are set in place in the city walls of BaalbecT Several cf them are fifty nine feet long, with 12x12 feet section, and that one now in a quarry near the city, hewn on three sides, measures tl! feet In length and 1 feet 10 Inches by 1,1 feet 3 inches in section. These dimensions are wonderful, and the moving of these stones to place them in the walls must have taxed the of the old builders to the utmost. While this is all veiv wonderful, yet there exists In the town of St. Emili.in.

near Bordeaux, France, a whole church carved out of a single rook, of an eirly Romanesque character. It was curved some time during the eleventh century, but the exact date is unknown. It is lVi feet long by 0 feet wide, and consists of three parallel aisles, or. rather, a nave of two aisles, with plain, barrel shaped vaults and with transverse vaults or openings, and round arches on massive square piers. Whether this was intended for a chapter house or a sepulchral chapel Is undecided, "The Stone of Destiny." that has had such a checkered career, is another of the notable stones.

Some writers tTace this stone all the way back to Jacob, and aver that it Is the identical stone which he set up In Bethel after his dream of the ladder' and the angels. It is stated that at the captivity of the Jews the stone was carried to Spain by the prophet Jeremiah, who escaped to that country with two of the daughters cf the captive king. One of the daughters married a Milesian prince, who took her and the stone to Ireland. Here for nearly l.OtH) years the stone remained and was part of the royal outfit at Tara. and was known as the stone of Tara for many generations.

Tradition endowed this stone with many wonderful qualities while owned by the Irish royal family. The stone, it Is stated, was carried to Scotland, and for several centuries the Scottish kings were crowned over it. It was then known as the "Stone of Scone." Scone abbey being the place In which it was kept. From this point on the history of the stone may be considered perfectly accurate. It was there incased in a wooden chair and stood by a cross in the eastern part of the monastic cemetery on or beside the "Mount of Belief," which still exists.

In it or upon it the kings of Scotland wero placed by the earls of Fife. 'From its presence Scone bucame tho principal pluoo In Pootlnnd, and Scotland the kingdom of Scone, and hence, for many generations Perth and not Edinburgh was regarded as the capital city of Scotland. On this precious relic Edward fixed his hold, but before removing the stone, caused himself to be crowned king of Soots, after which he ramoved it to London, and placed it in a chair in Westminster abbey, where it is to be seen today.
