" NOT A WORD SAID IX ITS FAYOK Mr. Williams' Dill in the Intercut of Lu hor Representative Smith Squelched with Kuse-Other Measures Pre vented fur Consideration. Special to tho Scranton Tribune. IlarrlRburg, Jan. IS. That bone of contention at every session of the legis lature the pastitwenty years, The Locix lative Record, was the object of much gnawing a.t today's session of the house. Nobody had a good word to say for the publication and the criticisms of the manner in which It is prepared finally led to the adoption of a resolution that the committee on printing confer with the publisher relative to the abuses complained of and report what action is necessary to remedy this. The criti cisms of the Record also brought out much unfavorable comment on the acoustic properties of the new hall of the 'house and steps will doubtless be taken within the next ten days to rem edy this defect in the $125.00') room. The discussion on the Ueeord was opened by the venerable Mr. Lawrence, of Washington, calling attention to the Inaccurate and Imperfect reports of his Speeches. He cited as an Instance an error in the n-cpurt of his address on the opening day of the session dedicat ing: the hall of the house, where lie Is made to say his speech was entirely "Impromptuously" for "impromptu.' Mr. Lawrence said UUs remarks as u Vhole were so mutilated and chained that he hardly know thum himself, and that he was ashamed of them. In his address on the late John Cessna, mad'j In the house on Monday evening, Mr. Lawrence Is quoitd as having said: "Out or the beauties of the laml below, Into the beauties supernal above." What he d: 1 say was: "Out of the nihilities of the land below, Into the beauties supernal I go." Mr. Lawrence advised the younger members of the house to revise their f-peeches before they were printed In the Itecord ir they were ambitions to make a creditable record us legislators nnj public speakers. As for himself, he was an old mm and had nothing particular to hue by the.glaripg errors which he pointed out In his speeches. He advised the legislative reporter to be more careful In his work. .Vtieh Inaccurate Kcrorting. Mr. Dambly, of Montgomery, severely criticised the flagrant errors made by the reporter of Ms addieson th? death f ihls colleague, the late "Farmer" Taggart. As an example, the gentle man from Montgomery opened his re marks by stating that "custom sanc tions only kind wards concerning the dead." The Record quotes him as malt ing the ridiculous remark that "cu-Hom nlon- .sanctions kind words and certain death." Another lnptar.ee nf the In accuracy of the He.-ord pointed out by Mr. Dambly Is where It makes him speak of Mr. Tnggart's "Independence nml sWf-homage," What he did say was "independence and self-owning." Mr. Dambly claimed his entire a 1 irers is badly constructed by the R.co.-d. Sentences are miserably formed and divided and the entire speech is made to reflect on the speaker's 'ability to uo decent language extemporaneously for even five milnutes." .Mr. Kiter, of Philadelphia, called r.t tentlon to the fact that the resolution Introduced by him on the di.at.h of his Colleague, the late William It. L'eds, was offered by Mr. Lytic, of Hunting don, nccordlng to the Record, and nski d that this be corrected. Numerous other errors and misstatements were pointed out. Mr. Parcells, of Mifflin, complained that the legislative directory made his residence "Grove City, away out In Mercer county," as he put It, and that It classed him among the Republicans when he was a Democrat and proud of It. Mr. Stewart, of Philadelphia, thought the mistaken in the Record were not no much the fault of the reporter as the miserable ucoustlc properties of the house. The Philadelphia member thought something ought to be done at once to correct this. Speaker Walton was of the same opinion. Kcprcscntutivo Williams' Hill. At the close of the discussion the house settled down to the consideration of bills on first reading and the transac tion of other routine business. A hill to protect employes and Kuarantce their right to belong to labor organizations was Introduced by Mr. Williams, of Carbon. The bill provides: That It shall bo unlawful for any Indl vidunl or member of any tlrm, agent, of ficer or any employe of any company or corporation to prevent employes from forming. Joining and belonging to nny lawful lubor oryalzailon and any such In dividual that coerce or attempts to rne.-eo employes by discharging or threatening to discharge from their employ or the em ploy of any firm, company or corporation hpsauso of their connection with such law ful labor organization shall bo guilty of a misdemeanor tind upon conviction there for shall lie fined not exceeding or Im prisoned for not less than six month, or both. Mr. Cochrane, of Armstrong, present ed a bill appropriating $.1,000 to mark with a suitable tablet or monument .the paint where the Penn purchase line intersects the Allegheny river at Klt tannlng. Other bills Introduced ap propriate $25,01)0 for the erection of n monument on the site of the buttle of llrandywlne; $3,000 to the state Insane hospital at Danville for the purchase of land adjoining' Its present property; $149,262 to the reform school at Mor ganna, and $00,000 to the state normal school ot Hloomsburg. Another bill In troduced provides for representation! on boards of trustees of state . normal schools of three members of the' alumni of the schools when they have been In operation five yoars. Representative Smith Squelched. Mr. Smith, ot Jefferson, Introduced a resolution endorsing the Stone Immi gration Mil providing for consular In flection of immigrants, and earnestly requesting Ha passage by congresB. Mr. IMter, of Philadelphia, asked Mr. Smith to explain the provisions of the till. He said he favored the restriction of Immigration, but did not feel at l-Xoerty to vote for a resolution asking congress Uo pass a certn.ln measure when he know very little about It. Mr. Smith admitted that he did not know enough ailxiut tha measure to ex plain H fully and declared UfatTil pur pose in Introducing the resolution was to please Congressman Stone, of Alle gheny, by whom It had been formulat ed. Mr. Smith withdrew the resolution with the promise to Introduce It again after he had .supplied members with a copy of thu bill. A resolution was adopted, on motion of Mr. Lawrence, of WiuOilngton, re questing the state treasurer to furn ish the .house with an Hemized state ment of all moneys paid by the state to the Pennsylvania State college wince it foundation. Thu house-will m.et again on Monday evening at 8 o'clock, when considera tion of bills on llret reading will be re sumed. THE LOST CAUSE AGAIN. Representatives Jones and Tulhot .Muke the Halls of Congress Hc lelio with I lery Speeches. By th United Press. Washington, Jan. IS. "When the gen tleman ays I believed the lost cause to be right, he slandered me. I know that cause wa rigWt." With these words, uttered by Mr. Jones, (Dem., Va,.), on the floor of the hous tonight closed an exciting and almost riotous discussion growing out of proposed pension legislation. The Immediate cause of the outbreak tonight was the blocking of the bills to increase th? pension of tho widow of (leiieral Aimer Doubleday, citid to peti tion another widow, w ho had performed services as a voluntary nurse during the war, by the parliamentary oppo sition vf Mr. Junes. Mr. Cooper, (Dem., Ind.), took the place of Mr. Springer last Friday light, and with considerable temper he charged Jones with a lack of chivalry in Itiius opposing measures for the bene fit of members of the fair .sex. Mr. Jones iv.sKnded with warmth that he was not fighting women, and asserted that Wicre was no foundation for the charge. "What I am fighting for," he said. "Is equality before the lue.v, and against the granting of large pensions to tha rivii, powerful and In fluential." "I queriMon the motives of the gentle man from Virginia," shouted Mr. Cooper. "Ills opposition to these pen sion bills, I believe, is actuated by the sentiment expressed by hlrn last Fri day night, when he said he was proud of the cause he had fought for In the trenches." Mr. Simpson paid he was not only sur prised but ashamed that a man from the south should come here and say. aa Mr. Jones had said, that he still be lieved in the lost cause a cause founded on slavery. letting the floor ostensibly to ask Simpson a question, Mr. Talbot (Dem., S. C.) made a violent speech, despite the utmost endeavors of the chair- (Mr. I'.retz, Dem., Ind.) to rabe him to order, sprang up and down the center aisle wilding gesticulating and shouting loudly. He deprecated, he said, the con tinual appeal to sectional passions, but he noticed that they usually came' from those who were invisible in war anil In vincible in ptace. "As to the 'Lost Cause," " he said, "It is the everlasting cause, and cannot be lost because it la the cause of liberty. Under the same circumstances," h continued, shaking his lists in a defiant manner at the Re publican side, "and for the same rea sons tlie men who fought then would fight again. YnU can like that or you r un lump it. I l ive the cause today as much as I dirt when a boy I bared my bosom to your bullets on the battlellelds of Virginia." After the adjournment, knots of members gathered in the nlsles and dis cussed tile cxecitlng events of the ses rlon, until literally driven nut by the Janitors shutting off the lights. IIAWAIIANJTCISIM. President Dole Confronted b a Small Kevoliition-Ono Hundred and fifty Conspirators Arrested. By the United Press. Sun Francisco, Jan. IS. An uprising against the Hawaiian government oc curred Friday night Jan. 11. The ren dezvous of the plotters was raided.

Their leaders were Robert Wilcox, a half brefd, who led the revolution of 1.SM), and Snm Now leln, ex-captain of the Queen's guard. Martial law was then declared, and l.'O conspirators were arrested. President Dole has 1,500 men he enn put In the field. The chief fatality on the govern ment's side was the dentil of Charles L. Carter, who wis nn annexationist commissioner to Washington, and who for a long time represented Hawaii at the national capital. The Insurrection is completely crushrd and rebels have entirely dispersed. The majority of tje men have come In from the front. One "hundred are still guard ing the entrances to the valleys nivl looking for Wilcox and his men. Mili tary operations are probably nt an end.

BR00KLYN3TR0LLEY WftR Uluoilshcd Kill I'rulmlily lie Necessary to Settle the Strike. THI5 MILITIA TO BE CALLED OUT Presidents Lewis and Norton Refuse to 1 nler Into Negotiations of Any Kind. Strikers Attack Cur Runners. Police Powerless. By the United Press. lirooklyn. N. Y Jan. IS. The trolley strike In lirooklyn took a serious tun. this morning owing to the failure of President Lewis, of tho lirooklyn City company, and President Norton, of the Atlantic Avenue company, to com promise. Tile strikers attacked the cars nnd hurled stones and other missiles nt them, and finally began firing with re volvers. Fortunately no one was hit with the bullets, but passengers on the cars had narrow escapes from the fly ing lead. A number of the new men on the ears became terrorized by the violence of the strikers and threw up tln.li- jobs in tear for their lives. Five cars were partially demolished. Owing to the many points of attack chosen by the r.trikers the police were nearly powerless, as their numbers are Inade quate to cover all the disturbed terri tory. The companies claim they are prepai'iil to run cars if furnished suf ficient police and military protection. According- to the statement made by President Lewis, of the lirooklyn City railroad, the company is now In a posi tion to start up every line of Its system, and Is prevented from doing so merely by the police department. Should the police Insist much longer on Its de termination to ullow only a few of the lines to be run, thu company will de sert them and seek other means for carrying out its di sires. What step the company will take for securing the protection it deems ade quate to the running of its other lines has not been announced, but it Is evi dence that It expects to call upon the sheriff. Lute this afternoon Mayor Scbleren, who had been besieged till day by citizens who petitioned him to compel the companies to resume traflle and by presidents who demanded more protection, sent the following letter to the board of arbitration and mediation: Mayer's Ollli Proolilyn, N. V'., Jan. is, 1S.'3. The State Hoard of Mediation and rbl- tration: lieiitlemen I'lease Inform as early lis practicable this afternoon nml as ileilnite ly as possible what progress has been made by your board In the matter of the pending strike; nnd especially what pros pect there is of a termination of the strike. Yours respectfully. CHAS. SL'lilKUF.N, Mayor. Where Arbitration Failed. The answer of the board stated that the board had a number of meetings during the past four days wIWi the executive comml'.'.oe of District (assem bly 17, Knight? oi Labor, conferences with President Partridge, of the Rrook lyn City nnd Newtown railroad, and had succeeded by mellation In effect ing a settlement between President Partridge and his men. Negotiations had bc.-n h'-ld all day yesterday with President Wicker, of tile Queens County and iSuburbm road, but had not suc ceeded In effecting a settlement In thai eafl In the ca."?es of tihe Brooklyn Heights and Aila.ntlc avenue systems, Presl dents Lewis an 1 Norton, respectively, refused to enter Into negotiations of any kind, and no progress toward a settle meint could be made with either. The letter concluded: "The prospect, therefore, of a termination of the strlke ii.iw on by mediation or arbitration is not favorable." Humors that Sheriff Pulling would be a,.-kcd by the mayor to call out the militia In the county of Kings were cur rent, but at 7 o'clock, after talking ovel the (Situation for two hours, Mayot Stlhieren sent out word to the waiting crowd of -newspaper -men that he would have no announcement to make to night. The lirooklyn regiments which may be ordered out by Sheriff liutMng without appealing to the governor are the Thirtieth, Fourteenth, Twenty HMrd, Forty-seventh and Rasqulns bat tery, lirlgadier General James Mc Leer Is 'in charge, and the militiamen lire ready to reapond to a short notice.

FARKEURST - PLATT WAR l!i(jlit Between the Two Elements Sure to Come Soon. 1 THE U0CT0K MAY (iO TO ALBANY Just Now lie Is Very .Much HisgiistcJ. Not So Much at the bosses as at the Apologies for Men Hint .Muke Uos.sism Possible. By tho United Press. New York, Jan. IS. Itev. Dr. Park hurst has not -made up his mind whether or not ho will follow the ex ample of Thomas C. Piatt and go to Albany. The doctor Is astonished, grieved and angry over recent develop ments. The dissension between the Parkhurst reform and the "political reform" elements Is Increasing, and within a fortnight citizens of New York will know all about It. The complexity of the situation is not relieved by the fact that Mr. Piatt went to Albany. The talk about a aii-w Independent Democratic party that will kick at flrace. combined with th'e. talk about Mr. Piatt's motives and methods, the pi .!:ible action of Lexow nnd the legislature and the aHitude of W.' Travels Jerome, makes an inter esting state of affairs. Hut Mr. Parkhurst will stand by his guns. He will not consent to a four headed polite commission, any more tlmn he will consent to be a party to using the reform victory for the for mation of a new political organiza tion. Ministcrs's Views of Politicians. Dr. Parkhurst said upon being asked If he Intended to go to Albany: The only particular advantage I see l-i going to Albany would be thu ability to reach, not the senators, but the people. The people 1 trust. The professional politicians 1 would not trust as far us I could see them. When a man gets to be a politician and nothing else, It seems to become an easy lliing for him to handle great interests, nml to manipulate great situations, with about tho name sangfroid as he would manipulate the pieces on the checkerboard. The pieces seem to the politician to have no significance in tlieni jtelves, but to be pint of the game, and nothing more. 1 have not learned yet that Mr.. Piatt has done anything to indicate that he has any special regard for the city of New York, lie did not Jump In before the vic tory. He does not belong here anyhow. I do not know, ami 1 would not say, and 1 cannot say, that he Is a dishonest or cor rupt man. I only refer to him as an ex ample. He Is a sort of standard type of politician, who may be holiest, who may he Innrruptilile, who may lie reputable. but who handles great Interests without appreciation of those Interests. The men lire to him mero blank llgiires, blank eheckernien, and he moves them on his board with that feeling, and without ref erence to the public. Still lias Some Mopes Left. Now, when you go before men of that stump and I do not menu to imply that all tho men at Albany are only politicians you nro only wasting your breath, except for this, tliut whut you say reaches a largo audience, x 1 took the ground that the tone of the legislature would be In the sumo Investi gating key as that In which the work of the investigating committee had ended and I think 1 was right. Wo have no busi ness, however, to say that the prospects are disheartening, because wo are not (lis heartened. Hut It Is exasperating beyond ull expression that men who have shown no Interest In thu weal of the city are ablo to cajole men or creatures that purport to bo men Into being their tools. I hnve vastly more respect vastly morn for a political boss vustly more than I have for the miserable apologies for men that will allow themselves to be bossed 1 could how 111 revereiieo before Piatt, or any man like him, a compared with the nttlluiln that I would bo apt to assume to any nuin who would consent to be his Implement. I think the men that are rnuglil In that game of being played not played with, but simply played by any boss, ought to bo well advertised. DIN'S TRADE REVIEW.

Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: There are some good signs, but they do not as yet extend to business gener ally, which hesitates much as It has for months. Oold continues to go abroad, J5,5r0.0i0 having gone tills week, and the deficit of revenue Is nlrondy over $11,600,000 for tho month. This state of fuels, with the falltiro of congress to make provision for borrowing, or for increasing revenue, still operates to re tard a wholesome recovery, and the volume of domestic trade represented by exchanges through clearing houses la again nbuot 7 per cent, larger than last year, as It was In the llrst week of the month, but Is 33.7 per cent, smaller THE MODERN NERO. than two years ago, a higher rate of decri aso than for some time past. The Industries are meeting a larger demand for some products since the new year began, but nailer less for others, and no definite Improvement appears in prices of manufactured products or In Witges. Ill the main, It is a waiting ondition, with much hope that positive Improvement is not far off. Prices of stocks have grown slightly stronger for railroads, 6."i cents per scare, wnile the average lor trutus is ents higher. A reduction in freight rates lias started a better movement of grain east bound and the tonnage of live Mock and dressed meals is also larger than a year ago, but the west bound traliic has become unusually light.

According to Accounts, Was a High l.ivcr and Was Interested In u Stock Turin of Expens ive Charucter. By tho United Press. New York, Jan. 18. Edwin O. Qutg- ley, of Qulgley & Tuttle, bond brokers, at 6 Wall s:reet, was arrested this morning on the complaint of President William I'. St. John, of the Mercantile National bank. He is charged with having secured loans of $144,000 on $1CG, 00O forged bonds. Qulgley confesses to the forgery and exonerates this partner, who is a resident of New Hawn. Qu!gl?y i.i a resident of Orange, N. J., and claims that he lost the money in speculation. President St. John said the bank's apparent loss will be greatly reduced by levies under attachments. The firm of Qulgley & Tuttle, dealers In county and municipal bonds and other investment securities, was organized In 1S90. The firm was organized under the advice of Tuttls's father, one of tlr? m.wt substantial and well posted citi zens of New York, himself a long time friend of the bank. Evidence of confi dence In the firm on the part of monlej institutions and others throughout New England, and the business-like conduct of the account left no room foi suspicion of Quigley at any point. The bonds forged were of cities whose credit Is high and they were -hypothecated to the bank In parcels from time to time under exchanges of collateral among the different loans. Qulgley is about 3.i years of age and was originally a civil engineer. A Ouiglcy u Highflyer. William P. Tuttle is the son of the late John It. Tuttle, treasurer of tho New Haven Savings bank, who died two years ago leaving a considerable sum to his son. Tuttle has been lo cated In Nw Haven for the firm, which did a big buiinesi i,i bonds with N w Ihigland Inrtltutlons. It is believed that Qulgl, y resorted to the expedient of borrowing money on forced bonds to enncial his outside losses from his part ner, -who relied upon Quigley for the management of the firm's business. It Is not believed that he lost all of the money In speculation, as he nays. 11 ii wtisa. very high liver and a member of all the swell Orange clubs. He was also linteri-sted In trotting horses and had a stock farm In New Jersey. He speculated in Wall street through a number of hrokers, but his largest spec ulations were In bonds. There were no n.yst stn at his olllce, but on attempt will be made to recover, -as far as possible, from Ks partner, who Is supposrd to have a large property In New Haven. The bank does not know yet how far Tuttle can be held responsible for the opeiatlona of Qulgley, but are investi gating th question. At the same time that Qulgley was brought to the general sessions build ing, Mr. lVattle went before the grand Jury with Lawyer Ilrownell, and the case was presented. An Indictment was found at once for forgery in the llrst digree. Quigley was then arraigned before Recorder Goff. He was very much broken up. When asked to plead he stood with bowed head and murmured "Guilty." He was at once taken buck to the Tombs. The bank will not lose the $140,000 In Its eiilihvty, as attachments have been levied against eeurlties held by the prisoner. SAM HOTELlXfi'S SIlXiE.
