MANY BILLS AWAITING ACTION About Three-fourth of Which Ar Appropriation Meantn-cn Lack ol Revenue Will Compel the Oovernot to Snrluir Htn Veto A With Viiror. (From Our Own Porrniinnnilant HarrlHburfr, July 12. When Senator Quay gave out the intimation In Wash ington the other day that he would retire from public life at the expiration of hi term In the United States senate, the announcement was scouted In some quarters as being a reiteration of an old story. But it was believed by many people, because Senator Quay had pri vacy siaiea 10 some or his friends that he was growing weary of the cares of public office, and was disposed to seek quiet and rest in the bosom of his family. Saturday, however, he came to Harrlsburg with Senator Pen- rote, and after a conference with Gov ernor Hastings regarding matters of legislation still under consideration at the executive department, returned to nis hotel and submitted to an Inter view, In which he stated that he would be a candidate for re-election. "For the first time In my life," he said, "I am a full fledged candidate for the Vnlted States senate." He admitted that he came to Harrlsburg partially to make this announcement, but It Is more likely that his visit to this city at this time was for an entirely differ ent purpose. It Is bruited about that Senators Quay and Penrose urged the governor to sign the Becker bill, re quiring all appointments by the mayor of Philadelphia to be confirmed by the vote of three-fifths of the members of select council. This is a factional measure, and was introduced Into the legislature by Senator Durham, with a view to crushing the anti-Quay peo ple of Philadelphia, who are at pres ent In control of the city administra tion. Neither Governor Hastings nor Senator Quay would talk after their conference, but It is reported that the governor declined in positive terms to approve the Becker bill. It Is known that he does not desire to mix In a fac tional quarrel. Regarding his candidacy for re-election. Senator Quay salQ while here that he had been overruled and had come to Harrlsburg to consult the governor and other friends about his candidacy. He said further: "The fiery cross will again be carried over the state, and the men In blouses the bourgeotse will be asked to rally to my support. Gov ernor Hastings will assist me, for Gov ernor Hastings and I will never again be apart." Senator Penrose and other friends of Senator Quay say they are much gratified at his statement, and express no doubt of his election: hut notwithstanding these confident asser tions, there Is promise of a great fight for Senator Quay's seat when the time comes. Senator Quay is not as young as hi once was, and his frequent battles against foes within and without the party have left their scars. Some of his moBt loyal friends, however, affect to believe that he will not retire from pub lic life until he sinks to rest in the quiet bivouac of the brave soldier. At the conclusion of the great fight within the Republican party In 1895 It was an nounced with some show of authority that Senator Quay would be a candi date for governor next time, the the ory being that he desired to finish his public career by going before the people for a vindication. His recent statement, however, that he will not be a candidate for governor, and his further intima tion that he seriously contemplates re tiring to the privacy of his home. ieemed to set at rest the gubernatorial rumor. It is well known that Senator Quay's family are very anxious to have him urop out of public life. They feel that the strain upon his health is too levere, and that he ought to have rest and quiet. There Is some ground for the story that he will spend the sum mer In a tour abroad on the yacht of a well known Philadelphia traction mag nate. Senator Quay has been much in terested in the passage of the tariff bill, and if the bill goes to the president within the next ten days it Is probable that he will go abroad for the summer. There la not a little Interest in the coming convention of the Republicans of Pennsylvania. Some time ago it was generally understood that there would be a factional split In the party, but the anti-Quay element have given It out that they will fight within the lines, and that under no circumstances will they bolt the nominee of the party. This practically assures the election of the Republican ticket, as it Is believed that the Democratic organization is too much divided to make a winning fight this year, even with serious defections from the Republican party. It can be stated with almost absolute certainty that the Republican ticket will have upon It after the August convention the names of James S. Beacom, of West morelanu, for state treasurer and Ma jor Levi G. McCauley, of Chester county, for auditor general. If Judge Willard, of Scranton, resigns his seat on the bench of the superior court, which it is said he Intends to do, then there will be a third place on the ticket, which will probably be filled bv the nomination of Alex Simpson, of Phila delphia. Tho nominees of the Demo crats have not yet been seriously con sidered, but the name of Captain George W. Skinner, of Pittsburg, has been mentioned In connection with the office of state treasurer. Hee is an old soldier and popular outside the party lines. He has said that he would not be a candidate, but there is a disposition to urge him to accept the nomination. The Democrats will make the most of the recent legislature as a campaign issue, but the Republicans say the Democrat ic minority in the lawmaking body is In a poor position to point the finger of scorn at the majority. Governor Hastings returned from a Pulling trip in the wilds of Potter county with Attorney General McCor mlek Wednesday afternoon, and after a good night's rest he began the con-1 slderatlon of the almost 800 bills ' left him m a legacy by th legislature. ( About three-fourths of these bills are appropriation measures, and as the leglslaturt hag appropriated almost (25,000.000 In the face of the repeated warnings of the state officials about the lack of revenue. It will be necessary for the governor to swing his veto an with more than his usual visor to keep the expenditures within the Income of the state. Trlvate Secretary Beltler and the other clerks in the executive department have prepared for the gov ernor a comparative statement show ing the appropriations to the various Institutions for the sessions of 1891, '93, '95 and '97. This statement will enable him to dispose of the bills with some degree of fairness toward the institu tions that may be affected. It may not be necessary to deprive the smaller hospitals and charitable Institutions of state aid, but it Is not clear how' the governor is to escape cutting down some of the larger grants to the big educational Institutions. One of these, the Lehigh university, has been given 1200,000 by the legislature; the Univer sity of Pennsylvania has also been given a large appropriation; and other Institutions have fared well. Of course, If the new revenue acts produced the amount of money which their authors predicted, there will be a larger Income than was originally estimated by the state 'officials; but there Is doubt in some minds whether these new rev enue schemes will be as productive as was hoped they might be. But In any case these measures will not be opera tive until next year, and the deficiency In the treasury cannot be met by cheer ful calculations. State Treasurer Haywood insists that a mistake was made by the legislature In not cutting down the appropriation to the public schools. He holds that this Is the real trouble, and that there will be no Improvement In the revenue sit uation until some reduction is made in the school fund. It has been suggested that under authority vested in him the state treasurer can withhold payments to the school districts a year or two un til the stringency in the treasury Ib over. Those who made a fight against the reduction of the school appropria tion, however, say that any such course upon the part of the state treasurer would be a distinct violation of the pledge given to the house by Speaker Boyer on the day of final adjournment when he promised that come what might there would be no cut In the school appropriation and the state nor mal schools would get their usual as sistance. These say further that tri lling with the school districts will react upon the Republican party, and that the state leaders must understand that the people will resent any Interference of this kind. A great hullabaloo has been stirred up among the merchants of the state by the proposed law increasing the mercantile license tax. Today Governor Hastings had before him a large dele gation, representing the big and little merchants In all parts of the common wealth protesting against his approval of the bill. They contended that It was an unfair proposition and In Its fea tures was Inquisitorial and a menace to the business interests of the state. This bill makes the mercantile tax from $7 i year to 112,000, according to the vol ume of business transacted by the mer chant. It requires him to make a re turn to the mercantile appraiser ap pointed by the auditor general and tate treasurer one for each county of the state except hiladelphla and Pittsburg, which have five and three, respectively and should the return be unsatisfactory, the auditor general is given power bv the bill to compel a merchant to produce his books and pa pers. State Treasurer Haywood, in a ong statement, takes the position that the merchants, as a class, have not oeen paying their Just share of the bur den of taxation, and that this bill is eminently fair In all its parts. He com pares the big merchants doing a busi ness of several millions a year to the lirm, copartnership and corporation do ing a much smaller business and pay ing a tax many times higher. Notwith standing the opposition to the bill, it will probably be approved by the gov ernor. This bill was originally a meas ure to tax beer, but when It reached the lenate that body transformed It into a bill taxing merchants and dealers. Judge Gunnison, of Erie, came here rhursday and made a strong argument before Governor Hastings against the bill ceding the rights of the state to rresque Isle, a peninsular piece of ground extending Into Lake Erie, to the city of Erie, on condition that the jovernment would take similar action. Judge Gunnison contends that this bill would be an Injury In the end, because it would probably result In the United States government becoming Indifferent to the harbor Improvements at Erie. He also intimated that Presque Isle, as a public park, the purpose for which the bill is alleged to have been intro duced, would not be a place of which the people of Erie would be proud. In fact, he threw cold water on the whole project, and as there Is some doubt about the constitutionality of the bill, it Is pretty certain to be ve toed. Adputant General Thomas J, Stewart has made himself exceedingly popular with tho members of the National Guard by establishing a precedent In the matter of issuing a special order announcing promptly the results of the Inspections of the guard. In this mat ter he has been assisted by Inspector General Morrell, who insists that the various subordinate Inspectors shall make their reports without delay to headquarters. On Saturday a special order was Issued containing the rating of the various regiments and companies and also the reports of Inspector Gen tral Morrell and Brigadier Inspectors Sweeney, Miller and Penny. TheBe fig ures get into the hands of the guards men at the summer encampments be fore they undergo inspection and en able them to discover their weak points in advance of another inspec tion. These reports this year Indicate that the National Guard of Pennsyl vania was never in better shape. There was a sensational report a day or two aco to the effect that 30 or 40 Important bills had failed to reach the governor after passing the legisla ture, owlnsr to the fact that the pre siding officer of one of the two houses had failed to sign the bills. Upon In vestigation this proved to be without foundation. A bill appropriating about 136,000 to the Garrett School for Deaf 1 and Dumb Children, Philadelphia, was 1 recalled from the governor for amend- i ment during the closing rush and never got back to htm.
