Sieakf.k Crisp's re-election as Speaker of the next House of Congress is now re garded as certain in legislative circles at Washington. Cholera low broken out in Asiatic Turkey and the people are dying by thousands along the lower Tigris. A panic prevails and whole towns have been deserted. KimivlUiTii the tragedian, died at his home in New York on Wednesday morning, after a lingering illness. Mr. Hooth was boin in IJellaire, near Balti more, November 13, 1S.'56. The Governor yesterday signed the bill making an appropriation for the erection of an asylum for the feeble minded children of the western part of the state, to be known as the Western Pennsylvania institution. The President on Monday appointed Charles W. Dayton, of New York city, to be postmaster of that city. The an nouncement that Dayton had teen ap pointed caused considerable surprise among the politicians alout New York city. Mr. Dayton has been a member of the Tammany hall and a general com mander for two years and president of a leading Democratic club of the coun try. The Harrisburg l'atrivt has made a computation of the amount of real work done by the two branches of the Legisla ture which adjourned last week. The session lasted five months, yet the Senate put in only 27 J days of eight hours each. The actual work of the House was 47 J days of eight hours each. The Senators were paid at the rate of $54, So for each day of actual work, and the representatives at the Irate of f31 33 a day for actual work. Of the five months of the session the Senate wasted four and the House three. The President has filled, with the ex ception of two places, all the important positions in the administrative force of the treasury department. Both of these places became vacant June 1 by the resignation of the incumbents. They are the jmsitions of register of the treas ury and director of the mint, formerly held, resjHftively, by General W. S. Hoseerans and K. O. Leech. The latter Iition is the most important one, and the President is reported to have ex pressed an intention to proceed slowly in selecting a man for the tosition. A Philadelphia dispatch of Wednes day says over 2,(K K) employes of the Penn nnsylvania railroad will receive notices of dismissal within the next fortnight. The reduction means less than 5 per cent, of the entire force, but is made necessary by low railroad rates and high expenses. No salaries are to be reduced New rules also go into effect June 1 to reduce the issue of free passes to the very lowest limit. Such instructions have, it is said, been made necessary by the cheap Pi'inmer excursion fares, and by the crowded condition of all trains to and from the World's fair. A dispatch from Fargo, X. P., on Weduesday afternoon says: During a heavy wind fire broke out here this af ternoon and the whole city is threatened. The burned district comprises the busi ness jiortion of the town and is hounded by the Western Union telegraph head quarters, a hotel and the X( rihern Pa citic depot, thence to the Great Northern depot and along the Hue of the Great Northern railway to the Red river. Two hundred and twenty-five business houses and residences are burned. Two thousand and two hundred people will be made homeless. The fire is not yet under control. Strong pressure is being brought to lear upon the Governor to veto the He witt pure food bill. This proposition was introduced in the House by ex Speaker Hewitt, of Blair, and was care fully'guarded at every stage of its passage by its sponsor. The strongest objection to the measure comes from the brewers who opose the ninth section which pro vides that "genuine beer shall be made from barley, and hops, no other sub stance shall replace them, either wholly or partially therein. All sutistitutes shall be considered adulterations and be under the penalty of the law even if not deleterious to health. If made of other ingredients not noxious to health it shall be to labelled." The Geary law says the New York Witrld, is brutal and barbarous. Its enactment was an affront to civilization, :t disgrace to this free country, and a flagrant outrage uon the sentiment of the enlightened part of the American eople. The Chinese who are now in the Uni ted States came hither with our consent and our invitation. They have conduct ed themselves peaceably. They have earned their own living ,by hard work, becoming in no way a charge upon the public. Their numUr is very small in proRrtion to the total population, and for a dozen years it has not materially increased. .Yet it is proposed by this law to arrest all these ieople, imprison them for a year at hard labor for no crime or accusation of crime, and then to drive them out of the country without compensation for the sacrifice of their properties and business interest. Toexecute such a law will be to inau gurate in this boasted asylum for the op pressed of all nations, a race persecu tion as flagrantly unjust as anything of that kind recorded in history. The Harrisburg Patriot in describing ihe last hours of the Pennsylvania legis lature which adjoorned at 12 o'clock on last Thursday says: ' Not since the adoption of the new constitution has there been a session of the Legislature, a majority of the members of -vliie-h o willingly -obeyed the crack of the party w hip and the bidding of their master, or one in which there was so much bad leg islation. It is notorious that many of the memb?rs we e not only willing, but anx ious, to l)e seen" by the friends of every important measure under consideration. Bills which should have been enacted into laws were killed and a large num ber which should never have left the committee rooms were favorably report ed and passed with practically no opjo sition. The last imcnth of the session was run solely by a "combine" of noto rious Republican bosses of the state." An all-night session was held begin ning at eight o'clock, Wednesday even ing. The scenes enacted in the House are unprecedented in the annals of State legislation. Pandemonium reigned the greater part of the night. Members jumped on their desks and howled like Comanche Indians. Fire crackers were exploded, members hurled books and tiles at each other and a few spectators took a hand and used blow guns upon the "Statesmen" in the front seats. The sergeant-at-arms made no effort to pre veut this and was finally rebuked by ex Speaker Hewitt, who after the attention of the House hadtcen called by Walton, of Philadelphia, that there were men on on the floor with blow guns, said, "this conduct is outrageous and if the sergeant-at-arms can't arrest these parties let him point them out to me and I will take a a hand in it." President Cleveland on Monday evening said in reply to a direct ques tion by a reporter of the Associated Press, that he intended to call an extra session of Congress not earlier than the first nor later than the fifteenth of Sep tember unless unexpected contingencies should necessitate an earlier meeting. The President further said: "While there has leen no mystery nor secrecy in regard to my intention in this matter, I think it not amiss that our ieople te informed authoritively that the time is at hand when their representatives iu Congress will be called upon to deal with a financial condition which is the only menace to the country's welfare and prosperity. It is well for the people to take up these subjects for themselves and arrive at their own conclusions as to the merits of a financial policy which obliges us to purchase idle silver bullion with gold taken from our reserve. One does not need the eye of a financer to see that this gold thus subtracted from the government's Stock is eagerly seized by other nations for the purpose of strengthening their credit at our expense. "It does not need art of statesmanship to detect the danger that awaits upon the continuation of this operation. Already the timidity of capital is pain fully apparent and none of us can fail to see that fear and apprehension in mone tary circles will ultimately bring suffer ing to every humble head in our land. I think that between now and the meeting of Congress much depends upon the action of those engaged in financial operations and business enterprises. Our vast national resources and credit are abundantly sufficient to justify them in the utmost faith and confidence if instead of gloomily anticipating imme diate disaster, they contribute their share of hone and steadiness they will perforin patriotic duty and at the same time protect their own interests. What just now is nettled is calmness in finan cial circles and retlectiou among our people." A dispatch from Washington says: In regard to the allege! intention of United States District Attorney Parsons, of Alabama, to resist removal, Attorney Genera! Olney said on Wednesday morn ing that, while he had heard nothing direct from Mr. Parsons, from other sources he had the intimation that Mr. Parson contended that the president could not remove him until his commis sion expired at the end of four years. It is understood there that Mr. Parsons bases his contention upon certain sec tions of the tenure of otlice act, w Inch sections were repealed eight years ago. Attorney-General Olney, while not-expressing an official opinion in the matter, says he has no doubt from pres ent information that the president has the right of removal at any time. President Harrison exercised this right throughout his entire administration without question, and when he desired an incumbent's removal notified him that he was "discharged." A Washington dispatch says the "gen erous" policy which has made the ad ministration oi me pension bureau a scandal is constantly developing new phases. There is one case that has come to the attention of the officials accident ally, in which it is alleged Assistant Sec retary Bussey has reversed the action of the pension office and granted a pension of $5 per month to a man whose most severe disability, as shown by the medi cal examination, waa the presence of two corns on his toes. There was no evi dence of his inability to perform manu al labor, and it is probable his case will be one of the first to be taken up by the department and re-examined. There will be no stoppage of pensions wiinout a re-ex ami nation oi ttie case and no man will !e done any injustice; but it is probable that, when the depart mem iooks into me case ot tne man with the corns on his toes, his pension will be etopjied. Governor '.Pattieon has appointed Christopher H. Hedrick, Venango coun ty; Norman Hall, Mercer; George A. Jenks, Jefferson; George Guthrey, Alle gheny; W. Horace Hose, Cambria, to be commissioners to select a site for the erection of an institution for feeble minded children in western Peunsyl vania. vt ahiuir'n Letter. Washington, P. C, June 2, LS03. Secretary Carlisle has made it a rule to see everybody that called on him at his otlice until this week, wht u after much dehLcratioii he came to the conclusion that his promiscuous callers were taking up so much of the time that should be devoted to weightier matters that it was his duty to follow the President's exam ple and deny himself to general callers, and an announcement to that effect was made. It is easy enough t see Sec re tar rv Carlisle if your business is of a public nature, but otherwise you cannot. The oretically it seems hart! on some of his callers, but practically there was uo other course left for him to take. In the pres ent slate of the country the otlicial du ties of the Secretary of the Treasury are of the highest importance, more depend ing directly upou him than upon any other ineiuU-r of the cabinet, and John Gritlin Carlisle has never shuked or neglected his duty, although he has often found it, as lie probably elen-s in this case, more or less painful to kt form. Democrats were surprised when Pres ident Cleveland left Washington for a few days of rest and recreation at Hog Island, Ya., without aptoiiiting a new Public Printer, as the term of Mr. Palm er, the incumbent, expired several weeks ago. Whether right or wioug the f il-' ure of any one of the score of applicants for this otlice to get the appointment is taken by many to mean that none of them will gel it, but that it will eventu ally go to some man who has never made or probably even thought of making an application for it. it has len rumored for Several weeks that 1 resident t -lev-eland has Idvii making quiet inquiries of some of his callers aUuit various men who had lieen suggested to him for the place. Commissioner of tensions iK-tiren has decided, after mature consideration. that to carry out his jKilicy successfully in the Pension bureau he must have new chiefs in every division in the otlice. and the present chiefs, some of whom are notoriously inefficient, will all have to go. Some of them who have made fairly genie! records will le allowed to re main as clerks. Some of these chiefs, although the- are Kepuhlicans, have in fluential IVmocrats trying to save their otlicial heads, but Judge 1h1h-h sas he intends to put the otlice upon what be considers a strictly business bi.-is ami that uo amount of inltuem-e w ill change his purpose. That "inexperienced young man," Comptroller of Currency Kckels, is very vigorously administering the business connected with his office, lie saxs he intends to put a stop to national banks leing used to bolster up outside wild cat financial schemes that would have no Standing or credit w hatever were it not for their supjiosed connection with na tional banks. NoImhIv knows better than Mr. Kckels that it is a big contrac t that he has undertaken, but if he mic ceeds he will certainly be a jopularmau with the solid biteiness interests of the couutry, which are uaturally oposed lo the dummy liniphroeiiii financ ial con cerns that always do so much to demor alize legitimate business. Mr. Kckels emphasized his position on this question by telling Mr. K. A. Mears, the presi dent of two North Dakota banks that failed this week, who called on him to say that he expected loth banks would resume business, that the banks would not-be permitted to resume, and further that no national bank with which he (Mcais) was connected would be allowed to begin business hereafter. How many of the Republican papers which have lecn criticising Secretary Carlisle for removing Republican chiefs of division ami asserting thai their Dem ocratic successors were incompetent, will have the manliness to print his latest or der, directing the examining board of the Treasury department to increase; the minimum for testing the fitness of ap plicants for appointment as chiefs of division from To to so jer cent? Secretary Greshatn has received no of ficial communication from the Chinese government giving even the slightest in timation of the intention of that gov ernment to adopt retaliatory measures towards Americans residing in China be cause ot the Geary exclusion ; law, not withstanding numerous more or less sen sational statements to the contrary. The opportunity was too good for the sensation mongers to lose: hence the ra mors. As was generally expected, the Pres byterian General Assembly found Dr. Briggs guilty of heresy. M. Strikers Losing nipat hj. HrxTiNciiioN, Ph., June 5. Work was resumed to-day at the coke ovens of the Rockhill Iron and Coal company, al Orbisonia, this county, by nonunion men, and it is tin; intention of the com pany to put the furnace in blast again w ithout acceeding to the demands of the strikers or to reinstate the men dis charged. At 1 o'clock this morning a dynamite cartridge was exploded under the porch of the residence- of D.- W. Warring, who has Ueii active in ge tting non-union men to go to work, and his residence w;is badly damaged. This is attributed to thedisgruntled union strik ers. Notices of a threat'-ning c haracter were also jKstcl on the doors of several non-union men who have returned to work. The community is greatly agita ted, as tremble is anticipated, and the strikers are consequently losing the sym pathy of the conservative citizens. Klertrlcal Morm in New York. New York, June '. An electrical Storm of extraordinary velocity passed over this city this nfternron. It was accompanied by a high wind and blind ing rain. Chimneys and trees we-re blown down and struck by lightning, and along the river front considerable damage is reported to shipping. The only fatality so far rej orted occurred in Brooklyn. At the Margaret llathouse, owned by Charles Arbuckle, the e-offee merchant, several painters were at work oa a scaffold and Henry Danney was struck by lightning and killed. One of the buildings of the New York Warehousing Company on the the water front, Brooklyn, was struck by lightning. The structure is of brick and five stories in height. An instant later flame shot up into the air. The loss will reach 1100,000, fully insured. Battling far a Corpse. Siorx City, June 5. A sensational scene occurred here at the railroad sta tion this morning when the laxly of W. H. Livingston, one of the oldest and wealthiest merchants of Sioux City, ar rived from Chicago in charge of his second wife, an injunction was served at the instance of his first wife, from thorn he was divorced a year ago, forbidding the second wife from any interfereue-e with the remains. The second wife made a vebemeut protest, but the Sher iff deliverc-d the remains at the residence of the first wife. Further Ieg;d conten tion is in prosject. The divorce of Liv ingston and hisse'c-onct marriage to Miss Itose Grady, a clerk in his dry gocjels es tablishment last year, caused a great seusatioa here. Thf Hafcpr Kail At.

SrrroN, June 5. The destructive re sults of Saturday's storm are much great er than first supriosed. In a trac k a a mile wide northeast of here a cloud burst literally flooded-the face of the country, accompanied by hail and wind that destroyed the crops, breaking glass in the farm houses and leveling wind mills. A son of Mrs. Hull and two horses were instantly killed by ligbtnnig. Kast of here two cows were killed and a girl was severelystunned by lightning. The hail, two hours after tlie storm, was four feet deep and was so destructive as to kill calves and other stock.

Oliver Invented and Gave to the World the Chilled Plow. mmsm OLIVER CHILLED FLOWS MADE ONLY BY THE Oliver Chilled Plow Works, South Bend, Indiana, ARE THE BEST GENERAL PURPOSE PLOWS IN THE WORLD. A strong statement tut a true one, for these plows are better known, have reached a larger sale, have had a longer run, have proved more popular and given better satisfaction than any other plows oa the face of the globe. We mean the GENUINE OLIVER, and not the imitations claim ing to be the Oliver, or equally as good. Such imitations are on the market, placed there by unscrupulous manufacturers who seek to trade on the good name of the Ouver. Look out for imitations, buy only the genuine Oliver plows and repairs, and be sure you are right before you take the plow home. BcoOnce more Beware of "bogus" Oliver plows and repairs, and take none but the genuine, made by the OLivtk Chilled Plow Works, South Bend, Indiana.
