The appropria tion bills thus far introduced in the Legis lature contemplate the distribution of a tremendous sum of the State's money. The recommendations of the State Board ol Charities, which cover most of the appro priation for charitable and penal institu tions, amount in the ajrpresate to Sj,253,065 17 for the years lbll-'2. If the appropriation for schools is increased to the sum recommended by the State Grange, and popularly supported by the press and politicians, it will amount to 56,000,000 for the two years. Add together the two totals recommended by the Board of Charities and the Granje and they forni an assregate of 511,255,065 2T. With this as a basis to figure on, a mem ber of the Ways and "Means Committee said to-day that there would have to either be a peneral paring down by the Appropriations Committee, else provision made by the "ft'avs and Means Committee lor more State revenue. He explained: Figureo Out h Shortage The revenues of the State Treasury for the year ending NovembeT 30, 1889, were ?8.4(m,o90 22. The t.ix on collateral and inheritance tax was 51,378.453 71, which is about double the usu.il amount on account of the Dubois and other large estates cora iuc in, so that the entire revenue for the two years mar be put down at SlG.000 000. Deduct from that the 11,255,005 27 alieady contemplated to be given out to public schools, charitable institutions and prisons this i ear, and there remains a bal ance of $4,744,034 73. "Out of that at least 53,000,000 will be, needed to pay the current expenses of the Government for two year. These current cxpeLses amount to somewhere in the neigh borhood ot 52,000,000 in a legislative year and about 5500,000 in an off year, so that 53,000,000 in the two years is atout fair. In addition to all this the national guard tosts 5392,000; tliesoHiers' orphans' schools, 5300,000; Penn sylvania State College, 5111,000, and the in terest an loans, 5620,000; making a total of 51,413,000, to say nothing of sinking fund, redemption of loans, etc, etc "Where is the money to come in for improvement of coun try roads, the building of a Lake Erie canal or the furnishing of all school textbooks to children by the State free of charge?" The Apportionment Problem. But if there is a financial nut for this Leg islature to crack there is also a political burr to open. It i the subject of apportion ment. The United States Senate has not 7et fixed the number of new Congressmen tinder the new apportionment, so that nothing along that line has yet been attempted here. But Representative AVilliam K. Leeds, of Philadelphia, is un tlirstood to be taking considerable interest in legi'latne apportionment. It is said he will be the chief player in the apportion ment came, and will make some good moves on the Senatorial and Representative checker board when it is uncovered. There is much speculation as to whether anv apportionment bill can be passed by this Republican Legislature which will meet with the approval of the Democratic Governor. That is the rock on which Gov ernor 1'attison and the Legislature split in former years. IfPattisoti should take it into his bead to veto any apportionment bills sent him by the Legislature, they could not be passed over his veto in spile ot the large majority the Republicans have in Hirnsburg this year. The reason is that the Republicans lack just a few votes of having the requisite two-thirds majority. Some radical Republicans insist it is no use trying apportionment this jear because 1'attison will surely take a partisan iew of it and use the veto ax. They think it might be wise to hold over legislative apportion ment for two years, when the Legislature will surelr posses the two-thirds Itepub hcan majority. The Change Uadly deeded. But the great majority of Republicans be lieved an honest ctfort "should be made at this session for legislative apportionment. They say the growth of the State demands a change b.idl. Tne Senatorial distrirts as now constituted were made in 1874, ant based upon the census taken in 1870, 20 j ears ago. The growth of populr tion in that time Has made an extraordinary disproportion in the size of some of the dis trict. While one has a population of more than 171,000, another elect' a Senator on 48,000. The Senatorial ratio underthe pres ent census is 105,160. This, however, does not apply to Philadelphia, which, underthe Constitution, can have no more than eight Senators, ro matter what its population. There are now one-fourth oi the whole number of districts whose population falls rnauy thousands short of the ratio, while there are an equal number with a population which has considerably outgrown it. There are not more than 12 of the districts, as at present constituted, which are anywhere near the ratio, and scarcely more than six that come close enough to be entirely fair, ltobln&on the leader The week's events in the Senate have made it a little more certain who the Re publican leader is to be in that branch of the Legislature. Early indications were that the distinction would fall upon the shoulders of either General Goblu, of Leba non county; Conzressiuan-elect "Jack" Robiuvon, of Dilauarc, or Senator Thompson, of Dauphin county. Rob ins has no doubt been pulling to the front. He i full f tact, mid shrewd in his iKluieal mareuvering. Essentially, there ore. he is a parliamentarian equal, to an ep.ergencj, while he at the same time is an orator of brrrht language, crisp ideas and keen rpartee. He is well worthy the leader ship, which seems to have been about ac corded him by common consent. He will only be in the State. Senate until 3I.irch, when he resigns to take his seat iu Congress, and after that General Gobln will be the Republican leader. L. E. SloriEL. PU2ELT DEMOCRATIC THIS TIKE. Pattison Has Decided to Get Rid of All Re publican Officer. 'PrrCUL TX.LEG11AU TO TUX DUr&TTH.: Hakri&buiig, Jan. 24. A month ago Governor Pattison had received 3,000 appli-ratii- f-r r'fiT in bis jirt ni th:s number is steadily increasing. Very few changes have thus far been made, but a clean sweep of the Republican will doubt less occur in the near future. The Gov ernor has made up his mind to surround himself with men of his, own political faith, believing that as be will be held responsible for the conduct of the State Government the next four yean, ho should have the assist ance of -those who are in training' in the same party to which he primarily owes his posi tion. Some of the men who served under Gov ernor vPattison's first administration and were retained by his successor are working hard to keep iheir places. All these per sons were active participants in the fight against the Democratic standard bearer, and one of them, who owed his first office to Governor Pattison, showed his ingratitude by making a canvass of a portion of the Opal regious to secure-votes for Delamater. There is no doubt that this will be a thoroughly Democratic administration, ind that it is perfectly willing to accept the con sequences. PATTISON'S SPEECHES. A ST0ET THAT JUDGE GOBD01T WAS THE ATJTHOB OP THEM. Allegations That He Even Wrote the. Got- I- eniors Keynote In the Last Campaign The Judge Befuses to Affirm or Deny the Report When Interviewed. TrlCIAI. TSXIQltAM T TOTE DISPATTnl Harhisbueo, Jan. 24. The talk about the resemblance of Governor Pattison's message to his utterances of previous years, has revived the story that Judge Gordon, once his personal and 'political friend, but now his political opponent, was his literary genius aud always stood by his side, advising, counseling and writing what be should say upon public occasions. As evidence of the truth of the statement it is suhmitted that never duriusr their long friendship did' Governor, Pattison ever find it necessary in preparing; a public speech or document to turn to an old One and clip passage after passage from it. When Governor Pattison began to be talked of lor Governor in the early part of '90 Judge Gordon was still his counselor and adviser upon all questions of policy. When the Scranton conven tion was held Judge Gordon paid a visit to. bis friend Harrv F. Kcenan. When it became assured that Governor Pattison war to be nominated it is asserted that Judge Gordon, in Mr. Keenau'a library, wrote the speech which 1'attison afterward delivered to the convention, and which was the key note of Iiis campaign. Judge Gordon was seen by a reporter to night and would neither affirm nor deny that be was the author of the State papers having the name of Robert E. Pattison. He did not show any great indignation, but simply said that he could not allow himself to be interviewed and become mixed up in political affairs. PLEASED WITH HIS CHOICE.

Terrible Fate' of the Successful Lover ot a Eonmanian Belle. KILLED BY A DISCARDED SUITOR fBT DCNLAF'B CABLE COMFAXT.1 BUCHAREST, Jan. 24. The details of the terrible tragedy of the Hotel Carol at Con stanza (Kustenja). already wired from here, have just been made public Constanza is a fortified town on the Black Sea, that is con nected by rail with Tchernavoda on the Danube. It cannot boast ol more than 5,000 inhabitants, but is always being garrisoned by one of Roumania's crack regiments, and the large fleet of merchantmen that are usually in port tend to give it more life than most Black Sea ports. Not far from Constanza, in the direction of Bassovie, lies an extensive sheep farm, owne"d by Petroff Debreska, whose daughter, Natalie, is the belle of the country side for miles around. Natalie, of course, as the daughter of a wealthy herdsman, had a little court of her own, but she cared not for the rural swains that dogged her footsteps, and turned with instinctive longing toward the military at Constanza. Caught by an Orderly. Nor were the latter slow in responding to 3Ille. Natalie's urconcealed preference. She had little difficulty in gathering a goodly number of officers at ber rural festivities, the latter being quite willing to exchange the scant? comforts of Constanza hostelries for the abounding plenty of the DebresKa estate. But Cupid's vagaries are not to be pre dicted on any considerations of ordinary worldly wisdom, and it therefore happened that instead of capturing the Colonel, or the Major, or even a captain, Natalie fell in love with an humble orderly, Holban by name, a youth of one-aud-twenty. Whether Holban returned Natalie's affection is not stated, hut he at least was not slow in com prehending the social advantaces that the gift cf her heart and hand would confer upon bim, and calmly awaited the father's consent, while he stood ready to wreak ven geance upon all rivals. Nor did he have long to wait, for while he was easily master ot the situation, so far as the .Roumanian youth were concerned, he was not seemingly powerful enough to enter the jjpld against a new and powerful aspirant who appeared upon the scene. The Rival of Holban. Ivan Vladeseo was the son of a wealthy St. Petersburg merchant, whose ventures ih wheat, barley, maize, wood Sun d cattle, the produce of the Boumanian fields and forests, rendered it necessary that someone should represent him at Constanza. A local agent bad usually acted for him, but last autumn he decided that bis son, Ivan, who had just left the university, and whom he intended for a commercial career, should take the position. Stranded in this small seaport, Ivan, who was a Bussian swell and already belonged to a fashionable club in St. Petersburg, natnrall;- sought out the best of socia at tractions the country afforded, aud soon ob tained au introduction to Natalie. The latter was at first loth to abandon her first love, but the wiles of the city youth were tun fascinating for ber long to withstand, and before the end of November Orderly Holban had ceased to be the most favored guest at 31. Debreska'.- hospitable villa. Such was the situation when the owners of Boumanian estates began to make their usual extensive preparations for Christmas. Holban was practically driven from the field, but he bad not forgotten the promises of the heiress, and intended that she should keep them. Young Yladesco had to all ap pearances superseded him, but there were ways of removing even the most successful rivals aud at the same time enriching one's selt. The .Murder of Ivan. Holban took into his confidence a brother orderly named Fancesco, and it was not many dajbeforc a plot, devilish in its in genuity, was concocted and all the prepara tions made for its being success'ully carried out. A violent snow-storm was raging at Coostapza on "Christmas eve; as Ivan was driving slowly back to the Hotel Carol, the principal public house in the town, alter an evening's festivity at the Dobreskas. The sleigii had not quite reached its destination and was going around a turn of the road, when the" two orderlies, masked, and with gleamincdaggers, sprang.upbn the unfortunate youth. A brief struggle and all was over. The next day the sleisth was found overturned, while the horse was stand ing some distance away nearly frozen to death. Nothing was heard of the missing Russian until a week ago, when one ol the servants of the hotel went into an unused bathroom in the basement aud discovered his headless body. " The police were at once notified, and gradually unraveled the story. The next step was the arrest of Holban and Pancesco. who, on being brought face to lace with the evidences of their crime, confessed their guilt. The two orderlies, who were the servants of a major lodging at the Carol, ad mitted that they had decapitated their victim and buried the head in a neighboring field. A BEHEDY FOB AKTHBAX FOUND.

AMERICAN 'PORK. A PE0SPECT FOB AH EAELY BEPEAL OF ITS PE0HI3ITI0N. The Wrong Party Championed the Amer ican Hog, and the Government Staves the Matter Off for the Present The Tlews of Minister Phelps. C COPYRIGHTED 1881; lnf TUB NEW TOKK ASSOCI ATED P11ES8.J Berlin, Jan. 24. The repeal of the pro hibition against American pork is now re garded as within a short distance ot accom plishment. The weight of the speaking throughout the debate in the Beichstag was all on the side of a change in the law. No prominent defender of the prohibitory law in the Beichstag ventured to deny that the repeal of the law would be a benefit to the masses, which are now paying high prices for meat, even garbage being dear. Several members, immediately after the division on the question, congratulated Min ister Phelps ou the early prospect of the ab olition of the prohibitory law, or at lesst a modification of the measure. Mr. Phelps said: There would not even have been amajorlty of 27 against the motion If the. opposition bad waited a little. If the motlun'had beeu mado by ajupporter of the Government the result might bade been different; but how conld the Government let a combination of the Frei sfnige and Socialist parties dictate Its policy on such an important question? Mr. Phelps added that he long known that the Government was ready to modify the restrictions in regard to American pork as soon as the precautious taken by the American authorities seemed sufficient to ensure the health of the German people. The Government, he said, was not afraid of cooked American pork, but only of the un cooked article. Dr. Windthorsi's declara tion that the Center party waited only for the taking of a sufficient precaution in .America, when the party would support the 'demand for a repeal, brought the end of the prohibition. In Mr. Phelps' opinion, Herr Barth's management ot the motion was admirable. The Freisinnige pittr holds that the policy hitherto pursued by the Government cannot ue maintained toward America with out having a detrimental effect upon the re lation between Germany and the United States. It is now probable that at any rate the prohibiiion against ham aud bacon will be repealed, the decision of the Bundesrath alone being required lot the taking of sucb a step. A HOSPITAL TO OEDEE. How a Denver Doctor Managed to Get borne of Koch's Lymph. 1BT CABLE TO TIIE DISPATCH. London, Jan. 24. Dr. A. J. Mener, of Denver, Col., sailed for New York on the Trave this week with four bottles of Dr. Koch's lymph, enough for 16,000 injection's. Dr. Mener has been studying the Koch cure in Berlin for two months, and has established a Koch hospitaljn Denver for the treatment of consumptives. The manner in which this came about is somewhat peculiar. When Mener arrived in Berlin he found' that it was impossible under the new German law to obtain lymph for any other than hospital purposes. He did not represent any hospital, and it looked very much A if his journey would.bc with out result so far as obtaining any of the precious lymph was concerned. But the doctor did not give it up. He cabled to Denver to establish a hospital at once, which was done under the auspices of the State Medical College, and then he came on to London, where heibund enough citizens of Denver to sign Ins credentials as the authorized representativeof the newinsttJ EPICUBES-ABE HAPPY.

A Large Audience Gathers to Hear - What Cameron Has to Say IN THE SILVER POOL HEARING. The Senator Does Not Respond to au Imi tation to Be Present. MUCH TALK OP A BIG BCAXDAL IFKOSt A STAVr CORlfESPONDENT.l Washington. Jan. 24. Senator Cam eron did not appear before the Silver Bool Investigating Committee to-day, though he must have known that a large and appre ciative audience was assembled to hear what he might have said. A member of the com mittee said to the correspondent of The Dispatch that the committee had not re quested the attendance of the Senator, as a committee of one branch of Congress never assumed to investigate a member of another branch, but that the Senator had been po litely informed that any statement he might desire to make, if any, would be gladly heard. The member of the committee asserts that if the Senate is of the opinion that Mr. Cameron or any other Senator has been guilty of a censurable or currupt act, it is the solemn duty of the Senate to appoint a committee of investigation. Failure to do this is equivalent to a declaration that in the solemn opinion of the Semte the specu lation of Mr. Cameron, or others engaced in "turns" similar to his, was eminently proper. Talk of a Big Scandal. All kind of talk is going the rounds in regard to a big scandal that is on the point of bursting into the "broad sunlight of pub licity," hut nothing substantial has yet ap peared even in the sray dawn of the hori zon. The committee is 'accused by many of not having any great enthusiasm in their work, and these accusations are applied equally to the Republican and Democratic members. It is composed, however, ol as worthy Bepresentatives as could be selected from the House, and an accusation of whitewashing would need a very good foun dation to secure general respect. During the investigation to-day Chair man Dingley said his attention had been called to publications charging that in one way or other the committee had managed to prevent the evidence which Senator Vest gave respecting Senator Cameron Ironi com ing before the country until after Senator Cameron's re-election, and that the commit tee knew what Mr. Vest would testily to. J. r. Dingley said that the fact was that the committee sent word to Senator Vest on Saturday to appear, but the Senator had re plied thai he could not leave the Senate. No Idea of Vest's Testimony. At the instance of Mr. Oates, who stated that he had an engagement in New York, an adjournment had then been .taken until Wednesday. The committee had no tdea that Senator Vest was going to make any statement respecting Senator Cameron, and had no information on the subject until Senator Vest had testified. Bepresentative George W. Dorsey, of Nebraska, who is also a banker, testified that he had no knowledge of any Congress men or other Government officers being in terested in any silver pool or silver specula lion. In response to Mr. Oate, the witness said that he knew of but one gentleman in his acquaintance who bad any interest in silver peculation. His name "was Heden burg or Hardenhurg, a res.1 estate man in Chicago, with whom he had, a few years ago, somedealings in Nebraska real estate. Wioness never did have any interest di rectly or indirectly in silver bullion or sil ,ver speculation. He did not think Heden- ucik iiau ever icupuseu to mm 10 go inio silver speculation, though it was possible he might have remarked that silver was a good) purchase. Witness had no knowledge of any silver speculation and Hedenberg had never suggested to him the propriety ot offering silver certificates to Congressmen. Important Letter From Owcnhy. H7 V. Parsons, of Brooklyn, was called to the stand, but before he testified, Mr. Stevens, the correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, said that he wished to with draw one or two names which he had, at the request of the committee, given from recol lection. They were those of Mr. Newlands and Mr. Parsons. Since testifying he had received from Owenby a letter, dated the Hotel Bichelieu, Chicago, savin? that he was in erro?as to persons. Mr. Stevens of fered to re-id the letter, but at the. request of the committee merely handed ittn the clerk. Mr. Dingley said the letter would be made public Mouday. Mr. Dingley said Owenby seemed to" be willing to answer letters lroni others, but not from the committee, and that they had been trying for some days to get him. Mr. Stev eus said, in answer to further questions, that in a conversation with Owenby, something was said about a firm which h id charee of the "Colorado" pool; and, at the request of the Chairman, Mr. Stevens privately indi cated this firm. Mr. Stevens said lie- had read the letter from Ouenbv two or three days ago, aud in answer to a number of questions as to why he had not shown it to some members of the committee be ore, said that he had shown it to Mr. Dockery, who suggested that he hold it lor awhile. No Knowledge of Any Pool. Mr. Parsons, who is the New York agent of Wells, Fargo & Co., tBen testified that part of their business was the sale but not the purchase of siiver bullion on commis sion. He had sold bullion for many years, from day to day, to business houses. He never, either directly or indirectly, bought or sold silver for-huy one connected Kith the Government, exefpt the Government itself, and knew absolutely nothing abnnt any silver speculation by Government officers. Mr. Parsons said he knew Owenhy slight ly. Owenby, when in New York, fre quently came in the office of Wells, Fargo & Co., aud witness made his acquaintance in that way. In response to 'a large number of questions, lie cave the substance of con versations with Ott'enbv. His testimony was,-iu effect, that Owenby had stated that he had an interest in silver given him iu consideration of information furnished. Witness paid but little attention to it, but remembered that Owenby said a cashier ot a New York b ink was his associate In the enterprise. Afterward Owenby spoke in denunciatory terms of this casbier, and said he had repudiated his (Owenby 's) interest. No Faith in Owenby.

HYPNOTIZED APPETITES. The Latest Method for Coring; Inebriates in the West. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.1 Wholesale and retail dispensers ol the various liquids that Prohibitionists are pleased to call "soul-destroying" are not at all discouraged at the story that comes from the West that hypnotism has been enlisted in the cause of temperance. It has" been as serted that a man who was addicted to the continuous practice of the art of ingurgita tion.was placed under hypnotic influence at an exhibition one night, and that wnen he was master of himself again he was dis tressed by tbe discovery that his appetite for rum had disappeared. Just whether or not one's, palate can be hypnotiz:d is au ODe'n question, for Prof. Charcot has not yet expressed an opinion in the matter. If it is a fact that hypnotism will destroy the. taste for wine and other liquids that cheer and tend to inebriety, it adds another argument to thqse already ad vanced why regulations to govern the prac tice of the 'science" shonld be passed by law. It would be rather -a distressful ex perience if a young gentleman with a keen appetite for schooners of lager, bter, and who suffered from dyspepsia, should take a course of hypnotic treatment for the cure of the latter ailment, and when he finished to dis cover that his beer appetite bad been irre trievably ruined.
