llAKKlsnunc, April 17. As predicted in
to-day's Dlbr-ATCII, there was another
filibustering scene in the House this morn
inc, the object being to prevent the calling
up of Mr. Lraaot's resolution to place the
anti-discrimination bill on the calendar.
The tactics resorted to were even more ap
parent than those of last Friday, and at last
became so manifest that there was an effort,
unsuccessful, however, to put an end to
them.
It was when motions to recommit were iu
order that the plan to prevent the reaching
of the next order, original resolutions,
cropped out plainly. On everj motion to
recommit there was tedious and useless de
bate, but the climax was reached
on the motion of Mr. Biercr, of West
moreland, to recommit a bill to regulate
the imprisonment of persons made liable for
the payment of costs in criminal prosecu
tions. The bill is of little importance, but
t as discussed as though the fate of nations
depended upon it. Messrs. Pow, Capp and
Talbot argued for and against the motion;
quoted law, sent to the library for books to
sustain their position, had their time ex
tended and protracted the debate until Mr.
Gillan, of Franklin, arose and distinctly
charged that the gentlemen were talking
solely for the purpose of delay.
Starling the 15.U1 Go inc.
Mr. Capp indignantly denied the charge,
and said no man had a right to impugn his
motives. Mr. Gentner thought the House
had had enough of this sort of business. It
was only done, and all knew the fact, to
prevent a vote being taken on certain reso
lution';. "Why were the members afraid to
show their colors? The House should get
down to business and rote one way or an
other on the question. This stopped further
discussion, ami tne motion was defeated.
Mr. Wherry then moved that the morn
ing hour be extended until the orders of the
day were disposed of, when Mr. Brooks
raised the point of order that this could only
be done by a suspension ot the rules. The
Speaker sustained Mr. Brooks, aud Mr.
Wherry then moved they be suspended
until the orders of the day were finished.
Mr. Iveser demanded a division of the
question, which was made, and Mr. Wherry
called the yeas and nays. Tnere were 92
yeas and 57 nays, but as tne motion required
a two-thirds vote it therefore was defeated.
By this time original resolutions were in
order. The Speaker said he would only
recogniz those who had resolutions for
special orders. There were cities in the
State imperatively needing legislatiop, and
he would first recognize those iho bad reso
lutions relative thereto.
Placed on the Calendar.
Mr. Cotton then offered his resolution
making the Pittsburg street bills special
orders for Monday, Tuesday aud Wednes
day, and it was passed.
Speaker Thompson then served notice
that he would take up deterred resolutions
in the order of their dates of presentation,
and that he would recognize no one de
siring to call up any out of that order. Xo
man should be able to say that he had
treated him unfairly. His statement was
loudly applauded, but by that time the hour
of 11 had arrived, the orders of the day
were called, and the House adjourned.
The whole proceedings was the subject of
a great deal of unfavorable comment. The
object of the filibustering, and the methods
employed, were so apparent that many mem
bers were utterlr disgusted.
Mr. Biter, of Philadelphia, who would
have voted jgainst the anti-discrimination
resolution, was stronglv opposed to the way
in which it was choked off. He said that
ibe manly way was to let it come up and
defeat it. The people would respect men
who had the courage to do a thing openly.

II utni.snuEG, April 17. The bill to
regulate and restrain the sale of cigarettes
by requiring dealers to procure a license
aud prohibiting the sale or gift to children
under 10 years of age, as well as giving
patents or guardians action at law, was
favorably reported in the House.
Bills were negatived to provide for the
manner of hearing and determining ap
j.e.ils from assessments of taxes to the Courts
of Common Pleas, and to aid the Silk Cult

Haheisbuuc, April 17. The time of
the Senate to-day was mainly occupied in
the consideration of bills on second reading.
When the oat providing for a constitutional
convention was reached on the calendar, its
author, Senator Eobinson, stated that he
had agreed to postpenement of action on it
until ntxt week to give Senator Boss, or
Bucks, and others an opportunity ot mak

Hakeisbcbo, April 17. Mr. Neeb, of
Allegheny, called up the bill permitting
sureties on the bond of liquor dealers out
side the ward or township in which the
license was granted, providing they reside
in the proper county. Mr. Woods, of Mif
flin, offered an amendment prohibiting any
person from going on more than one license
bond, when Mr. Neeb stated that he had sot
anticipated any discussion and had decided
to ask for postponement of action, which
privilege was granted him.
Mr. Steel's bill to prevent the pollution
of streams used iu supdymg the pnblioor
any public "institution was reported, wiih
amendments confining the prohibition" nf
placing poisonous elements in the water to
animal matter. This change was made at
the instance of the oil men, who construed
the act as introduced to interfere with their
interests.
HARD LINES IN STORE
FOB THE BILL TO CREATE FIVE AD
DITIONAL CLERKSHIPS.
Much Opposition to It From the Country
Members and Others A Former Veto
of a Similar Bill by Governor Pattison
Recalled.
rritOM A STAFF COimESPOXDEirT.l
The bill to give three additional clerks to
the State and two to the Auditor General's
Department, even if it passes the Senate,
will likely have hard lines in the House.
Apart from the general Republican view
that it is poor policy to make offices for
Democrats, there is a number in both
parties, representing principally farming
communities, who hold that nowr is not the
time to increase the numb?r of office holders
and add to the burden of the taxpayers.
In support of their position, they argue
that 54,200 a year, the sum necesiary to pay
the salaries of the three new Democratic
clerks in the State Department, represents
the amount of State tax raised yearly, under
the 3 mill rate, upon $1,400,000 of capital
stock or money nt interest. They also quote
Governor Pattison himself in support of the
assertion that no new clerks are needed. The
actVflSTl. fixing the number of clerks in
the State Department, provided for an ad
ditional one to be employed when required.
Dur-jng Governor Pattison's first term this
clet)vas never needed. On June 22, 1883,
heWnf" a bill giving the State Treasuer
one iuftiiuuual clerk, saying:
"My knowledge of the departments leads
me to believe that they are all well and fully
equipped with employes; that tbe act of 1874
It was a liberal one, and that if it erred at all
it was not on the side ot parsimony. Tnere
is a deep-seated belief among the people
that the cost of conducting the Government
is too great; that the list of names upon the
pay roll is unnecessarily large, and that
there exists a cumber of sinecures that could
and ought to be dispensed with. I decline
to assist in placing this burden upon the
people."
It has also been claimed by the friends of
the bill that Secretary Stone iu his last re
port favored an increase of clerks iu the
State Department. This is not quite ac
curate. On page five of the report he says:
"It would be a great convenience to have a
general index of the commission dockets
and records. This work cannot be done
with the present force in the department;
hence an appropriation for temporary ad
ditional assistance in this work the coming
year will be proper."
Adding this to the ill-feeling caused by
the Governor's recent vetoes, and it looks as
though Mr. Harrity's bill might lull by the
wavside.

TRIBUTE TO SPRING.
That Is What Primrose Day .Has
Cccomo in England's Capital,
AT THE SHEINE OP BEAC0NSFIELD
Many Thousands of tbe Telloir Flowers
Will Be Laid To-Day,
ANE ALL LONDONERS WILL CE DECKED
IBY DUXLAT'S CABLE COMPANT.l
London, April 17. To-morrow will be
Primrose Day, which, as will doubtless be
remembered, has been an Institution since
the time when Lord Beaconsfield, the great
est statesman of his age or the most consum
mate trickster who ever went into politics as
a trade, according to the belief of the Con
servative or the Radical party, died ten
years ago. It must be owned that, although
the day was originally sacred to the mem
ory of the departed statesman, it has even
at this early period already lost most of its
political significance.
Liberal and Conservative, Tory and Rad
ical alike don the badge of a bunch of the
pale little hedge flowers as a sortjf tribute
to tbe spring. Iu fact, in this wretched
climate of ours the primrose is practically
the first of the wild flowers to appear and
prove that the earth is yet capable of yield
ing anything to look upon after dark and
dreary winter. This is the reason why
their universal wearing has become the
fashion; especially as they seldom appear In
anytning like profusion before the end of
the second week of Parliament.' The season
has been so bad that it is likely that those
who make it a point of decorating their but
tonholes and carrying bouquets of these
yellow blossoms will find them much more
scarce than usual.
Already preparations are being made for
the harvest, and the hedges will be subject
to the depredations o! the multitude, who go
out with knives and baskets searching for
the plants. They will probably this year
not spare the roots in their eagerness to cull
tbe blooms, and this action threatens the
cherished symbols with complete extinction.
In spite of this scarcity, however, the
sbrine of Lord Beacousfieid, the statue
erected to his memory which faces the
Abbey, will be decorated as usual, and will
be an attractive sight. It is really worth a
long journey to go to Parliament Square on
Primrose Day and see the statue of tne hero,
with wreaths at its base and bunches in their
thousands, which the hands of admirers
have cast at its feet, till there is a huge
mound of pale primroses reaching to a
height of many feet, while a magnificent
wreath encircles the upper part of the
statue and many similar offerings hang
around it.
CONJUGAL RIGHTa
Far-Reaching Effects of the Decision in the
Clitheroe Case.
IBT DCXLAP'S CABLE COMPANT.l
London, April 17. An exemplification
of the fact that every action, no matter how
insignificant at the time, ye't has a far
reaching capacity, is to be found in the now
celebrated Clitheroe case, in which the Lord
Chancellor, in giving his judgment in the
Court of Appeal, found that practically
Mrs. Jackson had been imprisoned, for her
liberty had been restrained, and no law al
lowed a husband to seize his wile because
she did not wish to consort with him.
The city magistrates have been deciding
cases where restitution of conjngal rights
has been asked for on the basis of this de
cision. Notwithstanding the fact that the
Lord Chancellor, in referring to this case,
said it was not the intention of the Govern
ment to introduce a bill to give husbands
the power to imprison their wives for refus
ing to obey orders restoring men to their
conjugal fights, it fs generally believed that
the discussion of the question will lead be
fore very long to some, legislative measures
on this subject. The lately appointed Jus
tice, Jeune, declared iu the Divorce Court
that separation decrees were now useless.
SEXTON ON PARNELL.
The Late Irish Leader Roundly Denounced
by His Former Colleague.
.London, April 17. In the House of
Commons to-day, Thomas Sexton, one of the
members for Belfast, who was loudly
cheered by the McCarthyites and by the
Liberals during the course of the debate on
the Irish land bill, strongly condemned Mr.
Parnell's attitude last night, when the latter
made his attack upon the Liberal policy.
Mr. Parnell's proposed amendment to Mr.
Morley's motion, making it operative when
ever a local Government bill was passed,
would prevent Mr. Morley's object from be
ing attained, which object was to compel
the Conservatives to give Ireland local self
government. Mr. Morley's amendment was to the effect
that an advance ot money should not be
granted under the bill except with the ap
proval of the County Council iu the district
in which the holding for which the advance
was asked might be situated. After some
further discussion, Mr. Morley's amend
ment to the land bill was rejected by a vots
of 247 to 170, and Mr. Parnell's amendment
to Mr. Morley's motion was also defeated,
FILTHY DRINKING WATER.
Londoners Getting Alarmed Over Their
Foul Supply.
TBT DONLAP'S CABLE COMPANT.l '
London, April 17. The water Londoners
are doomed to drink is abominable, and its
supply ought to put tbe authorities to the
blush, it authorities were capable of evinc
ing such an emotion. It has just been
shown that the Thames, from which we draw
should, by deference to long usage, be .the
sparkling fluid, is fouled ny cesspools
near the source. The pumping sta
tion at Sunbury and the filter beds are
the only things that intervene to prevent
tbe dissemination of typhoid germs through
out the supply of drinking water which is
furnished not only to the metropolis, but to
many adjacent towns.
As a consequence of this people are get
ting alarmed aud already filters are being
sold in nearly every street and square of the
city. The British Medical Journal, one of
the most prominent technical organs, has
taken the matter up and probably will not
stop harping on the matter until it has
achieved some change in this disgraceful
state of affairs.
A DISMAL PROSPECT.
The Backward Spring Is Proving Injurious
to London Business,
HIT DtfKLAP'S CABLE COUFAXY.l
London, April 17. The weather is now
cold and chilly and tbe sun scarcely shines
at all. Tne consequence is that in the park
trees and shrubs are in a very backward
condition, and nobody has yet dared to leave
off fires or to appear in spring clothes,
although about Easter everybody likes to
appear in his new finery.
Business of all kinds has been hurt by
this backward season, and certainly the
change in the weather when it does come
will be hailed with delight by everybody.
BISMARCK DEFIANT.
A Speech That Indicates He Will Oppose
the Government,
Friedejchsruhe, April 17. Prince
Bismarck, in receiving a deputation of
Kiel Conservatives who called on him to
day, said: "The Emper6r would do
well to desist from conceding
"""" re.urn, auu to revert to
he conservative policy maintained by his
grandfather." Prince Bismarck lpchoedj
further reforms, and to revert to
upon his right to express an opinion in cur
rent affairs. His opinion might not agree
with th Ministerial opinion, but it wonld
not always be conservative.
This speech of. Prince Bismarck presages
the indomitable opposition of tbe former
Chancellor to the Government. Prince Bis
marck, in repudiating the charge of aban- j
uuuiui; cuiiservausw uecause ue ucbhujcu
old forms and founded new, said that the
value ot these things must he weighed
against each other. He entered at
length into the matter of the union of Ger
many. He said it was unnecessary to belong
to a particular party to be conservative;
therefore, in the last years of his official life
he had'taken the trouble to coalesce the Na
tional Liberals and the Conservatives. He
would much regret if that coalition fell to
pieces.
ANOTHER MANIFESTO.
PABNELL TO THE NATIONAL LEAGUE 0
GKEAT BRITAIN.
His Aim to Hake English Parties Subserv
ient to tho Irish Cause Seceders From
His Canse Under English Domination A
New Executive Constituted.
London, April 18. Mr. Parnell has is
sued tbe following manifesto, addressed to
members of the National Xeague ol Great
Britain:
Fellow Countrymen The attempt of se
ceders to'wrest tbe National League of Great
Britain out of national hands, forces me to
take a step to thwart tbem. 'I have guarded
the organization from the breath of English in
fluonce. It was my policy to matte English
parties subservient to Irish interests. Tiiat
policy was successful. It bore fruit in the land
arrears and borne rule hills. We were united
and strong. Both English parties were ready
to treat with us, and we wrung concessions
from them. But we are weakened by tbe de
sertion, in a moment of panic, of raw recruits
led by terrilied captains.
It is sought to make our organization sub
servlont to English interests.) That policy. It
successful, will bear fruit, too. It will end in
disorganization and utter ruin under tbe cover
of a convention, with the promise of which tbe
seceders try to lull our people to inaction. In
sidious creatures are at work for tbe purpose of
corrupting branches of tbe league and packing
witb English agents an assembly summoned,
forsootb, to represent Irish opinion.
I was anxious that tbe National League of
Great Britain should bold a neutral position in
the present crisis, but tbe seceders, under tbe
spell of English dictation, were resolved that
the influence of tbe Leagne should be used to
drive me from public life and make an English
statesman the arbiter of Ireland's destiny. The
peaceful proposals ct my friends on the execu
tive of the Leagne have been rejected with
scorn. The seceders have declared that I sball
have no quarter. In these circumstances
I turn from this Anglo-Irish uarly and appeal
to the national instincts of my race. I call
upon my fellow countrymen in Great Britain
to ignore tho convention summoned by
Irish Whigs under tho shadow of English
influence, and call upon tbem to maintain tbe
attitude of seir-respccting people; to assert the
Drincmle of national independence: to show
tbe spirit of a fearless race, and to declare that
Irishmen alone sball regulate the conduct of
Irish business, be that business tbe election of
a leader in the English Parliament or tbe
fullest control of national affairs in the Irish
Parliament.
Seceding members of the Executive of tho
league of Great Britain having resolved to
make tbe organization an English electioneer
ing machine, I have, pending tbe meeting of
the convention, constituted what I shall call a
provisional executive, consisting of those mem
bers of the old executive wbo have been faith
ful to Ireland, and of representative Irisbmen
residing in England whose names are a guar
antee of their worth and patriotism. Around
this executive I ask my fellow countrymen of
Great Britain to rally in the interest of a free
and independent Irish party.
A E0TIEN TRESTLE
Caused the Frightful Wreck on the Blary
land Central Koad.
Baltimore, April 17. At the Coroner's
inquest to-day, held at Belair, to inquire
into the wreck on the Maryland Central
yesterday, William Waters, the first Presi
dent of the road, testified that the trestle
was built of white pine in March, 1883.
He has not thought it safe for two years,
as the life of a white pine trestle is seven,
years. Frank Norris and T. B, Moore,
members of the jury, testified that thev had
examined this nrjd other trestles and found'
them unsafe, and had reported the fact to
the railroad authorities. Some slight re
pairs had been made.
Charles H. Weals, one of the train hands
so fearfully crushed that lie appealed to the
men who were working to raise the engine
which pinned him down to kill him, died
in the Johns Hopkins Hospital. This
makes the fourth life lost.

New Yoek, April 17. Secretary of the
Treasury Foster returned to Washington

the sub-treasury and had a long interview
with Sub-Treasurer Boberts and Collector
Erhardt, who was at the sub-treasury.
He said the department was already be

idea was to have it take the place of the sil

Minneapolis, April 17. An interesting
bit of news comes to the surface to-day, to the
effect that the Canadian Pacific Bailroad is
to complete the Western extension of the
Soo road and make it the main line between
Boston and Montreal and the Pacific Coast,
and making a transcontinental line.
Smiley Sent Back to Jail.
AT. A. Smiley, tbe colored boy. had a

Birmingham, Ala., April 17. The
much talked of Martin trial was called be-
foro the Criminal
Court this morning
at 9 o'clock, and
never before in the
sensational trial his
tory of this city,
was such a- crowd
huddled in a court
room. A few min

Martin, escorted by
number of well-
known ladies, ap
peared in the court.
Mrs. Ma tin, on Trial. She was dressed in
black from bonnet to boot, as were also her
attendants, and they made a striking picture.
During the three hours consumed in
securing a jury, Mrs. Martin sat immedi-'
ately back of her attorneys in a reclining
posture and, eyed closely every man called
and examihedas a prospective juror for the
panel to try her case. Each man she closely
'watched, and it was soon evident that it was
she and not her counsel, who was the
challenging party jn every case, when each
man under examination was deemed unde

The case, it is thought, will hang on de
fendant's ability to get several detectives
into court as witnesses, and also the message
which passed over the Western Union wires
regarding her case be'ore the shooting.
The detectives subpoenaed have repeatedly
dodged out of sight cannot be found and
have forfeited an attachment issued some
time ago for their appearance.
The most important witness of to-dav's
session was P. A. O'Briene, of Memphis.
He testified that Mrs. Martin appeared at
his office a few days prior to the shooting
and told him of a woman who had shot her
husband for deserting her. "If," said Mrs.
Martin to the witness, "you hear of a simi
lar occurrence near me here you may know
it's me." The witness declared before he
left the stand that defendant was either very
eccentric or mildly insane.
The declaration had quite an effect on the
Court, inasmuch as Mrs. Martin's attorneys,
at the opening of court, pleaded not guilty
aud insane at the time ot action. The State
closed this afternoon and the defendants
will introdnce their witnesses to-morrow.
A Former Social Queen.
Mrs. Martin is about 30 years of age; is
above medium height; is a brunette, and has
a pretty face, with an eager, expectant ex
pression. In her youth she was a charming,
gay, graceful and in every, way a pretty,
fascinating girl. Her maiden name was
Julia.Powers, and she comes of a family at
Macon, Ga., whose social standing islhe
very best. As a young lady, she had vis
ited Eutaula as the guest of the best people,
and been a social favorite, thongh she did
not meet Clarence Martin, who lived there,
till some years after, when she had fallen
from grace and made his acquaintance in an
assignation nouse.
Edward T. Martin, the victim, was a
member of an old, numerous and influential
Eufaula family, asyl
-was about 35 years
of age. He made a
fortune in the Bir
mingham boom, was
a wealthy real estate
dealer and President
of the East Birming
ham dummy line.
The crime for
which Mrs. Martin
is on trial for her
life was committed
on October 6, 1890,
at 1:30 p. M., on the
principal thorough
fare ot the city. The
woman had visited
Martin at his office
and to escape Edward Martin, ihe
uer nil uau uuiue Victim.
out She followed him, seemingly entreat
ing him tp talk to her, and when be turned
from her at the corner, she drew a pistol
and fired, the ball entering the side and
lodging in the bowels.
"I am shot," he exclaimed, and was taken
home where the doctors cut him open and he
died the next night.
Delivering Herself Up.
"Where is an officer? I desire to give my
self up," said she, and was taken to jail,
where she has been ever since. Clarence
Martin promptly denied being married to
her.
Her story is as follows: She met Clarence
D. Martin in Eufaula, in 18S1. He became
enamored of her. and took her to Mont
gomery, where she lived a few months as his
mistress. He then went to Galveston, Tex.,
sent back fur her, and they lived there for
two years as man and wife, going in the best
society. He then proposed marriage; they
went to Austin, were married by tbe Epis
copal rector and subsequently settled down
and lived happily in Dallas, "Tex.
Ed Martin, about this time, began writ
ing to Clarence to induce him to desert his
wife, and finally, in January, 1890, her
husband left her. She supported herself as
best she could with tbe assistance of a
monthly allowance sent her from Birming
ham, as-she supposed by her husband, but'
in reality by Ed Martin.
Conspiracy Against Sirs. Martin.
In the fall she was at Eureka Springs and
met a man named W. E. Embry, of Nash
ville, who paid assiduous court to her,
whose advances she resisted. Finally Em
bry left, but before doing so, told the" land
lady that Mrs. Martin was not what she
should be that he was a detcctivo em
ployed to trap her and represented the
Kernan Detective Agency, of Birmingham,
which was in the pay of Ed Martin, who
desired proof of adultery on her part in order
to procure a divorce. . "
The white porter of the hotel also came
forward and acknowledged, after Embry
left, that the detective had agreed to pay
him $50 to get into Mrs. Martin's room and
be caught there so, as to compromise her.
On learning this, she took the first train to
Birmingham, arriving Sunday morning, .
Tho Killing or Martin.
On Monday she saw Ed Martin a time or
two, and demanded tha't be call off his dogs
of war. He would give her no catisfaction.
and in the alternoon she sought him at his
office. There she protested her Innocence
and nurity since the date of her marriage.
"WJiere did you get that firfe dress?" he
said to her on the sidewalk.
"I sewed and made the money!" .
"You can't tell me. Virtue and work
don't go together," he replied contemptu
ously as he turned away.
"And then I shot him!" That isher story,
which is strongly corroborated. Public
sentiment has all "the while been strongly
in her favor.

Thinks Democratic Prospects Are
Brighter Now Than Last Year.
rsriCIJlt, TXL20KAU TO TBI DtSFJLTCni
Philadelphia., April 17. Democratic
State Chairman Kerr has been here in con
sultation with prominent workers in his
party during the past few days and expects
to rnn over to Washington to-morrow to fix
up his campaign for the chief clerkship,ot
the next-House. Mr. Kerr says the Dem
ocratic State Convention will be held late
this year, most likely the last week in Au
gust, aud Altoona has tbe choice, as 'far as
Known, although the 'State Committee has
not yet decided. He says that the
course of Governor Pattison and
the Democratic legislators is 'strictly
according to promises made last fall. He
believes a long and tedious campaign of ed
ucation and explanation will not be a Dem
ocratic necessity this year, as the issues are
clearly defined and the people will conduct
their own battle.
"Democratic prospects are better and
more assuring to-day in Pennsylvania,"
says the Chairman, "than they were this
time last year. Mr. Quav's new deal in
State affairs will develop in a few days, and
you will find that the Baker ballot reform
iaw will not become such until he is again
elected a Senator. That is the principal ob
ject of his conferences now."

Washington, April 17. Notwith
standing tbe manner in which some of the
Harrisburg correspondents report favorably
to Governor Pattison in the matter bear
ing on the collection of the upward of
81,600,000 refunded to Pennsylvania by tbe
direct tax bill appropnation.it is asserted by
politicians here that the Governor's finan
cial agent, B. F. Nead, is working to get a
large slice out of the money. Tbe Harris
burg correspondents gives a very erroneous
impression in regard to the possibilities
when, after quoting a clause of the direct
tax bill, providing that no part of the re
fund shall go to any attorney for or agent
of the State, it asserts that it is therefore
impossible for anyone to get a commission.
Fat commissions have already been paid
to a number of State agents. Tbe Treasury
authorities have no right or power to in
quire whether any part of the refunded tax
is to.be paid to an agent. All they ask is
that the Legislature shall adopt the cropcr
resolution and that the Governor shall di
rect the manner of the payment of the
money. After that it remains with the
Auditor General of tbe States whether a
commission shall be paid.
Cannot Bonder Negatory a Contract.
The prohibition clause of the direct tax
bill cannot render nugatory a State contract
in the form of an act of the Legislature.
More than 20 years ago a law was enacted
at Harrisburg providing for a financial
agent to see to the prosecution of claims .of
the btate against tbe United States, and in
this law tbe State contracted to pay a com
mission of 10 per centum on all moneys col
lected on.claims successfully prosecuted at
Washington.
After the close of the war every State
having such claims against the Federal
Government enacted laws creating financial
agents similar to the Pennsylvania law, and
involving contracts to pay various com
missions, from 2 per cent in Ohio up to as
high as 30 per cent in Maryland, Pennsyl
vania's contract, as stated, being 10 per
cent.
No prohibition of the direct tax bill can
vitiate these contracts. The only obstacle
pin the way of the payment of the com
missions is the possible refusal of the Audi
tor of State to audit favorably the claim tor
a commission. If the Governor ou the one
side and Bepublican politicians on the other
should influence the Auditor General of
Pennsylvania to allow tbo commission due
under the State's contract, with the under
standing that the Bepublican State Commit
tee's treasury should get a slice and the
Democratic fund another slice, it is thought
by some of the smart politicians of both
parties here that it would be a nice way to
settle the question.
Nead Thinks He Has Earned It
Mr. B. F. Nead, in his statement before
the Senate committee having charge of the
direct tax resolution, stated that he did not
desire to take the full 10 per cent allowed
by the contract with the State, but he had
done so much bard work for the bill at
Washington that he thought he ought to
have something. He was also- generous
enough to say that Judge Wells, financial
agent continuously for nearly 20 years, ex
cepting during the former Pattison regime,
ought to have something, for he, too, had
done good work for the direct tax bill.
The gentleman who deserves the most, if
not all, of the credit for the passage of the
direct tax bill, is Fiscal Agent Talford, of
tbe State of Ohio. Tbe bill was passed by
the Senate early in the first session of the
last Congress, and for long months was
lodged in committee in the House. The
-.appropriations had been so liberal that it
was ueemea impolitic to aaa to tne nuge
bulk the upwards of $15,000,000 involved in
the direct tax bill. Talford, who is a very
shrewd young politician, took a -different
view of the question. He thought It would
be a good thing for the Bepublicans in the
important elections of next fall to present
the fact that the party in Congress had re
funded to the States this long standing debt.
He presented bis argument so strongly to
Mr. McKinley that the latter influenced tbe
Committee on Bules to give a day to the
consideration of the bill, and the measure
was saved aid became a law.
lie Will Get Uls Commission.
Talford will get his full 2 per cent allowed
'by the contract of the- State with its finan
cial agent, but he does not claim it because
he lobbied lor the bill, as Mr. Nead seems
to do, but because he is tbe legal agent of
his State. To claim remuneration from a
State for lobbying in the interests of the
State is hitherto unheard-of phenomenon, i
if Mr. jsead can rightly claim anything be
can claim tbe 10 per cent allowed by the law
of the State.
It is asserted by some that the refunded
direct tax does not come within the metning
of claims contemplated in the laws of the
States creating 'financial agents, but it is so
recognized by some of the States already,
and the agent of Maryland will, without
demur, get 30 per cent of the refund to
that State. Mr. Talford will receive
about $26,000 for collecting the refund to
Ohio. If there were a Bepublican admin
istration at Harrisburg there is little doubt
that Judge Wells would ask and get the full
10 percent of the amount due Pennsylvania,
or $168,000, of which be would have to give

Bui-rAXO. April 17. Twenty-five years
ago John David Howland was born in
North Dartmouth, Mass. Six months later
his mother died, and he was adopted by a
married sister, whose home was in Buffalo.
For some reason the boy was kept ignorant
of his parentage, and was taught to
call his sister mother. 'For several
years alter his adoption he was)
taken frequently to the scene ot his early
home to visit his elder sisters. The visits!
gradually ceased, and when the boy becamo
capable of understanding and appreciating;
his situation he was sent on tours to Canada
during vacations. About 8 years ago his
sisters, whom he supposed were his aunts,
came to this city and for the first time
learned that their brother was known asj
John Wilkins after his sister's husband.
They threatened to divulge the truth, but
by tbe pleadings of Mrs. Wilkins they were
finally foresworn to silence. John grew to
manhood and went to work for the Govern
ment, at the same time studying medicine) '
at the medical department of tbe Niagara
University. He completed his course
and would have graduated this year
under the name of John D. Wilkins
if death had not stepped in and
cleared ut the mystery. His elder
sister, wbo for almost a quarter of a century ,
he has cilled "mother," was taken ill about
three weeks ago, and, after a week's sick
ness, died. The remains were taken to
North Dartmouth for interment. John, o
course, went to tbe funeral, and while there
he was told by bis father, whom he bad al
ways called grandfather, the true story of
his'birtb.
The records and papers were showed him,
which proved beyond a doubt that his name,
was John David Howland, instead of John
David Wilkins; that for 25 years he had'' ,
lived with his sister, thinking her to be his
mother, and the aged gentleman, whom he
had always spoken of as grandfatner, was in,
reality his lather. When he returned to
Buffalo, he immediately took action to have
his name put correctlv on the certificate of
graduation from tbe Niagara University of
Medicine, where he graduated as John
David Howland. His father wishes him to
goto the old Massachusetts home and reside
with him, but tbe young man is engaged to
the daughter of one of Buffalo's prominent.'
citizens, and he is determined to remain,
here and practice medicine.
