JUNE 9, lr'.3.
The Legislature adjourned on Thurs
day of last week.
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

withstanding numerous more or less sen
sational statements to the contrary.

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

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

seusatioa here.

What Mini-ter Hl.iul Thinks.
San Francisco, June ti, ls'.i;,. Hon

the revolution and probably he justifies
nearly all the course of Stevens in it.
He has never for au instant thought of
restoring the ex queen or of recommend
ing it to U done. Whether he will
recommend annexation is not altogether
clear. .He will jMissibly take grounds
that it is undesirable on account of the
large proortioii of non-American impu
tation. A royalist rumor now is usually
strong and positive that the ex-queen will
lie restored June 11.
Clans Spree-kles returned a few days

we-re probable4 and has even threatened
that it will come. Spreckles has de
manded the immediate payment of '.",

Cortland, N. Y., June . The
through night express to New York on
the Ielaware, Itckawanna and Western
Railroad, collided shortly liefore mid
night with a runaway engine. The lat

1m mud track and the two engines came
together with terrific force. The wild
engine was completely wrecked and the
passenger 'ng:ne separated from the
train and turned completely over into
the ditch.
Kngineer A. C Wallace was killed in
stantly, and Fireman IWt Sherwcod
died at the hospital two hours later.
The passengers received a severe shak

Watchman George Chaftee, who had
charge of the engine in the yard here
when it ran away, was arrested at once
and this morning was c'immitted to

remedy can lie given by Congress.
Messrs. Wilson, Montgomery, Turner
and McMillan, of the ways and means
committee of the last Congress, were all
at the White House to-day and Intel a

Hail Fwnr Feet lleep.
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.
SaTfd All Hut One.
.Some -hoys who wereloe.kingats shep

W. Kvans's livery stable, on Kast street,
Allegheny, set fire to the straw accidently
and then ran away. The rear of the
stable was ablaze when the fire was dis
covered. The dog had gotten out three
pups safely, and the hair on the fourth
was afire when it was carried out. It
was w ith difficulty that the dog could be
restrained from leaping into the flames
to certain death to try to rescue the other

The loss by Hre was small.

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.
