IT MEETS WITH LITTLE PAYOR Majority of Those Seen Think That Lackawanna Connty Should Continue olio a Separate Congressional District as It Is at Present. The sudden killing the house ap portionment bills at HarrlBburg yester day rests the entire question of re-ap portlonment, If one shall be made this year, upon the senate measures, one of which that re-dlstrlcting tho state Into congressional districts links Susque hanna with Lackawanna county. Be low The Tribune presents the views of leading Republicans upon this proposed change, and it will be seen that there is almost no desire for any new deals In a congressional sense: William Connell "I am decidedly not In favor of any scheme of a congres sional apportionment which would throw Lackawanna county in a district alongside a purely agricultural county like Susquehanna.

The various districts In this part of the state are very satis factorily adjusted as lit Is. In our own cose, we were, five years ago, within 25,000 of the requisite ratio of popula tion; and since that time our county has grown rapidly. Under the proposed senate plan, Luzerne, with 30,000 more than the ratio, is left Intact, while Lacka wanna Is yoked with another county having Interests entirely distinct from our own. If Luzerne Is not affected, I do not see -why we should be; and I am firmly opposed to any unnecessary clianges." County Chairman's Opinion. Colonel E.

H. Ripple, chairman of the Republican County committee and president of the Scranton Central Re publican club, before leaving the city on Friday last, expressed the opinion that any change In the present congres sional apportionment, so far as con cerns Lackawanna county, would be unwise. "The district," said he, "Is now safely Republican; It constitutes an in dustrial and political division by itself, and Its) population is growing with such rapidity that the addition of a county like Susquehanna, whose population Is stationary, would merely Involve an other' change when the next reappor- Itionment Is made. The result of all this shuttling would simply be confusion and dissatisfaction. No, Lackawanna Is all right as she Is.

I have heard nobody ask for a different arrangement." Ex-Justice Alfred Hand "I prefer the present congressional apportionment for general reasons, and I do not see how Lackawanna county's Republican congressional Interests would be ma terially benefitted by a change. Sus quehanna county's interests are almost entirely agricultural, while those of Lackawanna county are entirely mining and manufacturing. A congress man serving for the two counties would be subservient to two masters, con trary minded. Lackawanna, Is, I think, safely Republican, so from a partisan standpoint nothing Is to be gained by an alliance with Susquehanna. I am not well enough posted to venture an opinion upon what would be the polltl cal result of adding Bradford, Wayne and Wyoming to other than their pres ent district." Should Romnln as It Is.

Major Everett Warren "I do not see why Lackawanna county is not big enough and Important enough to remain a separate district. It is a separate district Industrially. Its interests are entirely different from the Interests of Susquehanna. Therefore, I am op posed to making any change. We are as near the ratio In population as most districts are; and, all these things con sidered, It seems to me that the wise policy would be to let well enough alone." Judge H.

M. Edwards "I am opposed to joining Lackawanna and AVyomlng counties into one congressional district. I think Lackawanna is of sufficient Importance to constitute one district. It was so considered years ago when this district was erected, and I be lieve it would be unfair to usque hanna to attach it to so large and pow erful a county as Lackawanna. The two counties have nothing in common, for ours is a mining and industrial county, while Susquehanna is an agri cultural county." Ex-Lieutenant Governor A.

Watres "While there may be reasons why It might be desirable that Lackawanna and Susquehanna counties should compose a congressional district, there are stronger) against It. Lackor- wanna is one of the most important and most aggressive manufacturing counties In the state, while Susquehan na county Is essentially an agricultural county. Their interests are different and they should nut be tied together In a congressional apportionment. In addition to this, such an arrangement would be very unfuir to Wayne county. The Republicans of Wayne have been striving for years to put that county In the Republican column and they have just succeeded In doing so.

They are entitled to consideration and should not be destroyed politically by putting them with Pike and Monroe." As Congressman Scrnnton Views It. Congressman J. A. Scranton "I had supposed that Lackawanna county would remain as a district by herself and white we were short of the quota when the district was made we still had more population than the Fif teenth district, comprising the counties of Wayne, Susquehanna, Bradford and Wyoming. population has largely Increased since that time, while the population of adjoining counties has decreased, as is shown by Bradford losing one representative in the proposed legislative apportionment.

I do not understand that Susquehanna wants to come with us. They objected to the move previous to the last apportionment, and I should think the old Fifteenth district counties would prefer to stay together. If a county must be added to Lackawanna we would prefer Susquehanna to any other and would welcome them in the district. The effect of such an alliance upon our local politics would be to anchor Lackawanna solidly in the column of Republican counties, as every two years the Democracy would have no fighting chance whatever for the head of their ticket. The effect of such a condition of affairs would greatly dispirit the Democratic organization of Lackawanna.

As a matter of local pride we should prefer the district remaining as It is, being now one of the most compact and Important districts In the United States, but, politically, I do not see that the Republicans have any reasonable objection to the pro posed union of Lackawanna and Sus quehanna counties in one E. N. Willard "I am decidedly In favor of the proposition to make Lacka wanna and Susquehanna counties one congressional district. I think it is the proper thing to do, for it would give us about the required population for a congressional district. It is just that we should have the requisite number of Inhabitants and it would do no harm to have a sprinkling of agricultural Interests In this great mining and manufacturing district." No Need of a Change in the District.

Ex-Mayor John H. Fellows "I am certainly In favor of having Lackawanna county continue as one congressional district, for I believe in that way we can have our Interests more carefully watched and considered. If this county had a sufficient population when the district was erected, and if there were good reasons at that time for giving us a district of our own, these reasons are much stronger and more pertinent today than when that apportionment was made, and I cannot see the advisability of making a change now." Prothonotary C. E. Pryor "To me there appear many good reasons why we should be allowed to retain Lackawanna county as a congressional district as it is at present.

Not the least Important of those Is the fact that Lackawanna and Susquehanna counties have few interests In common. As at present constituted, this district Is important in a mining and manufacturing way, and I believe our Interests would be best subserved 'by allowing the present arrangement to continue. DEATH OF MARK NEWELL. Ho Was an Old and Much Respected Resident of the City. Mark Newell died at 9 o'clock last night at his home in Green's place, after an illness of several months.

Three weeks ago he Improved so much that he was able to leave the house, but his ailment renewed Its attack and he was compelled to return to his bed. Last night the end came.

Station Agent Chrlstophel, at the Steel Works depot of the Delaware and Hudson railroad, discovered yesterday that the seal had been broken from the door of a freight car left standing over night on the switch, the boxes, containing a consignment of hats, boots and shoes shipped to the Lackawanna Store association, broken open and a large quantity of the goods, evidently all the thieves could carry, stolen. In the car and outside was found a few old hats and shoes which the robbers exchanged for new ones. No clue has yet been obtained that throws any light on the perpetrators. PRISONERS DISCHARGED.

Reynolds delivered the greetings of the home circle In felicitous terms, and called upon the members for their favorite quotations. The invitation was quickly responded to, and many quotations, humorous and otherwise, were given, Mrs. Kate Q.

Hawley read an admirable essay on "The Congress at Vienna and Its Effects." After a critical analysis of the work and members of the congress, Mrs. Havviey summed up her arguments in the following terms: "To sum up all, or even a few, of the results would take too much time, so we will be content in noting two of the most Interest to us the German Federation and the Monroe doctrine. Of those who took the most active part we see Tal-lyrand despised by all for his faithlessness, for, although he did wonders for France, the principle" of the man are remembered, and none would emulate him. Metterntch lived long enough to see his plans broken and his home ruined by the same people, who, according to his Ideas, had no right to even think. Castleretgh died by his own hand, hated by the rabble he so despised.

Wellington and Stein. Wellington, honored. Stein, the patriot, honest, gruff and true, with the interest of his country always uppermost in his mind, enthroned In the hearts of the German people loved and honored. One historian says of him: "It Is good to stop, talk and think of such a man. He It was who writes to his wife about the congress of Vienna they have done nothlng-never dreaming that the part here played by him should be a monument to his good name." C.

F. Pross read a well-written article on "LI Hung Ohang, China's Bismarck," and quoted several of his sayings. A. F. Campbell delivered a most Instructive and Interesting address on "Napoleon Bonaparte." If they were to judge of the greatness of men by the elements of goodness, truth and honor, then Napoleon was not a great man.

he said. He was, however, possessed of genius and ability to a wonderful degree. If, again, they were to Judge greatness by success. Napoleon was not a great man, for when he faced the valor of English soldiers his men were invariably foiled. His ruling motive was a selfish one, viz: to be the dictator and arbiter of the world.

If, again, they were to Judge by the good accomplished, Napoleon could not be deemed a great man. Miss Hattle M. Smith read a delightful paper entitled "A Peep Into the Social Life of Literary People," which, to a groat extent, contained pleasing reminiscences of the lives and associations of early English writers, and those of the beginning of the century.

Breck read a paper on the "Growth of the English Nation," which contained some novel ideas upon the political history of England. Gladstone, whose virtues were highly lauded, would, she sakl, live in the memory of English people long after Disraeli and the Crimean war were forgotten. In criticising; the political relations of Canada with the mother country, the speaker said that the governor could be recalled by the Queen, and suggested that It would be very desirable If some higher power could also recall the president of 'the United States when It would serve the Interests of the country to do so.
