THE EXTRA SESSION.
Pennsylvania's Senate Responds to
the Governor's Cail
HarrispuRra, Oct. 21.—There was no
session of the senate yesterday. There
is some speculation as to the len
and MeCamant cases. So far as the tes-
all ia in both before
the week.
Last night State Treasurer Boyer an-
nounced that he would pay the war-
rants drawn by the presiding officer of
the senate in deference to the epinion of
the attorney general. This disposes of
the money question, unless some one
shall procure an injunction to restrain
him from paying them, which is not
very probable,
HarrissUraG, Oect, ~The inquiry
by the senate into the charges against
State Treasurer Boyer and Auditor Gen-
eral McCamant was resumed yesterday,
the case of Mr. Boyer being under con-
sideration.
Attorney General Hensel resumed the
presentation of ietters. Letvers and
telegrams from Cashier Livsey and
John Bardsley were read, dating be
tween Sept. 24, 1880, and May 6, 1891.
The attorney general then gave a de-
tailed report of the amounts paid by the
state treasurer to Bardsley, showing
that on Dec. 31, 1860, $420,000 was Paid
which had never reached the city treas-
ury. State Treasurer Boyer testified
that he had drawn the Philadelphia
school warrants for 1881 on Dec. 381,
1800, for the sole purpose of preventing
the money into the sinking
fund. He said mand what-
ever for these warrants hewn
made fre ] tha
blanks necessary board
to fill out were procured by
department and sent to Bardsley; that
they were returned to his office, and
that the school warrants, when signed,
instead of being sent to Bardsley, were
sent back to the treasury; that
they were there marked as “paid” on
Dec. 31, although in fact they had not
been paid, and he did not see Bardsley
nor secure his indorsement of the war-
rants nor pay the same to him until
Jan. 2, 1891,
HarriseURG, Oct. 23,—The senate re-
sumed its inquiry into the charges
against State Treasurer Boyer.
examination of Deputy Superintendent
of Public Instruction John Q. Stewart
was resumed, Lawyer Gilbert, of coun-
sel for Mr. Boyer, taking up the cross
questioning. The main point drawn
out by Mr. Gilbert's questions was that,
according to the practices of his depart-
ment, Mr. Stewart believes that the
payment of $420,000 of Philadelphia's
wortion of the school appropriation was
egally made,
fir. Shapley said that counsel on his
side was ready now to go on with the
McCamans case. He then offered for-
mally all the evidence taken before the
various committees,
HarrissUra, Oct. 24.—At yesterday's
session of the senate President pro tem
(Gobin presented a petition from the cit
izens of York county, setting forth that
it is allaged and believed that certain al-
dermen of the city of York, together
with the constables attached to their of-
fices, have been participants in a con-
spiracy to cheat and defraud the connuty
of York by encouraging frivolous and
roundless charges, creating litigations,
then discharging the accused and put-
ting the costs upon the county. Also,
that the mercantile appraiser of the
county of York has been guilty of prac-
tices of a character similar to those
charged by the governor in his message
against the mercantile appraisers of
Philadelphia, to wit: Assessing parties
not subject to assessment and charging
fees,
The motion to refer to the governor
was carried with a few dissenting votes.
A reply was received from the governor
acknowledging the receipt of the peti-
tions. He adds that he has communi-
cated with the signers, asking them to
furnish him with such evidence as wil
enable him to take such action as may
be necessary for the proper protection
of the citizens of the commonwealth and
for the faithful execution of her laws.
Senator Gobin offered a resolution
that the reading of the testimony in the
McCamant case continue until all the
testimony is finished, and the senate ad-
journed until Monday at 4 p. m.
Harmissurag, Oct. 27.-In the senate
yesterday afternoon the remainder of
the testimony taken by the state investi-
ating committee not reached in Fri-
ay's session was read, after which Sen-
ator Grady, of Philadelphia, surprised
the Democratic senators by offering a
resolution authorizing counsel for State
Treasurer Bover to proceed with their
arguments in his case before the exami-
nations of other officials mentioned in
the proclamations of the governor to the
senate. As the case of Auditor General
McCamant had been started the Demo
crats opposed the resolution. The call-
ing of the roll showed the absence of a
uornm, and the senate adjourned until
p. m.
At the night session the
was adopted by a party vote.
Senator Ross introduced a resolution
requesting the senate to settle the ques
tion of jurisdiction, now, for the counsel
for the accused having proposed to argue
the guestion of the power of the senate
to address the governor the removal
of the state treasurer afd auditor gen-
eral. The resolution was finally de
feated by a party vote, The senate then
adjourned until today.
