The st'iia to com mittee on mines ami mining this even ing heard the opponents of the I'oyle bill to establish a state bureau with a commissioner, deputy and Inspectors galore, all assigned );ood fat salaries. The main argument presented was that tile present law, which was passed two years aixo, as a compromise between the operators and miners. Is working satisfactorily and that this bill will only saddle useless expense on the state. The committee took no action, but it Is intimated that n majority is against the measure. Among; those appearing before the committee were Mine In spectors Williams, of Wilkes-Barre; James Roderick, of Scranton; James Waek, of Idlewild: Charles Conner, of V'niontown; liernard Callahan, of Con nellsville; Mr. Jenkins, of Irwin; Henry l.autitt. of Monongahela City, and Mr. Vnderwood of Cleiirtield.

Musee and Magistrate Durham. The purpose of his visit none of the gentleman would state, but those who profess to speak by authori ty declare it was to head off the pro posed movement for a legislative com mittee to investigate the alleged abuses in the city councils of Philadelphia complained of by the muulcli al league of that city in its memorial to the legislature. It has been determined by the league to tile unother petition for a Lexow committee, but not until utter j the mayorality election. Mr. Juay left . at midnight for his home at Beaver. j The Various KouJ Hills. i There Is a uniformity of sentiment I among the members or me legislature that the roads uf the commonwealth are susceptible of great improvement, and that some legislation is necessary to provide a better than the existing system, but there is a wide diversity of opinion as to the character of the act that should be passed. There aie three road bills before the legislature, but none of them Is likely to command a constitutional majority unless condi tions should change before the close of the session. Senator Flinn has a bill which contemplates an improvement if the public roads at the expense of the counties. As recently modified. It au thorizes the commissioners to levy ail annual tax of not less than 1 mill nor more than X mills on the dollar on all real and personal property to secure a fund from which to pay all costs, dam ages and expenses required for public road purposes. This bill has made more progress than any nf the others, but It has not reached the crucial test of final passage. Senator Brown, of Westmoreland, Is the father of the hill providing that a competent engineer or surveyor njiall be elected and shall give $10,000 security for the faithful per- formaiK-e of his duties. In each town- ship a supervisor shall be elected, Into i whose competency the county super- visor is required to inquire before he can enter on his duties. A county road convention shall be held every year In the Interest of better roads, of which 1 the convention shall have the full su pervision and management. If this bill should pass It would be followed by a measure appropriating about ll.lHw.OOO a year to enforce It. Representative Snlvely has Introduced a bill to place the public roads under the charge of the department of internal affairs and providing for the election of a town ship road committee and a county road engineer. It provides for an appropri ation of $5,000,000 to be applied to build ing or Improving the public roads of the state. ' j Senato proceedings. j By the United Press. The sena.te met at 11 o'clock.

CARLISLE CATECHISED Secrctury Before the Ways und Means Committee of the House. ADMINISTRATION CRITICISED Democrats as Well us Republicans Dis cuss the Altitude of llio Administra tion on the llnunciul Ouestloii. Coekrun's objections. By the Vnlted Press. . Wushingtou, Feb. 12. For three hours today the wuys and means committee of the house was in session. For two hours of this time Secretary Curllsle wus before It. He furnished the com mittee a copy of the contract made be tween the udinlnlstratlon und the for eign syndlcute which recently agreed to purchase the new bond issue. The con tract wus very short, but ut the secre tary's request a resolution was adopted that none of the proceedings connected with this document should be made public. The secretury wus subjected to a running lire of questions from the mem bers present. Mr. Drosvenor wunted to know why these bonds were to be sold to the syndlcute at a price C per cent, below the quotation for the 4s. The secretury replied that the adminis tration had made the best terms with the syndicate It could. Being asked if an attempt had been made to secure the sense of the country upon It the I secretary replied In the negative. This preclpltateda discussion In which the attitude of the administration wus severely criticised not only by the lto publicuns, but by certain of the Dem ocratic members as well. Hefore leav ing. Secretary Curllsle suggested Unit a proposition be reported from the com mittee to relieve the treasury from re deeming national bank currency und compelling; the banks to establish an agency for the redemption of their own currency. The effect of this proposi tion would be practically to restore the law us It stood before 1S74. Mr. Tarsuey offered a resolution that power be given to the administration to Issue a 3 per cent, gold bond when ever such action became necessary to protect the gold reserve in the treasury. It also provided that none of this money should be used for the current expenses of the government. .Mr. Cockran Objects. The resolution offered by Mr. Wilson yesterday, looking to the issuance of JlL'.UOU.OUU of bonds, payable In gold, also came up for consideration and It drew from 'Mr. Bnurke Cockrun, of New York, an emphatic declaration that he would oppose this proposition and any other which looked to the indorsement df the contract with the foreign syndi- cute. Messrs. Heed and Hopkins questioned Secretary Carlisle at considerable length regarding the necessity for an issue of gold bonds. Did he think that such un Issue of bonds would stop the drain of gold and would not some of the money be used to meet current ex penditures? They also asked about the estimated receipts of the government for the re mainder of the calendar year and if the secretary really believed there would be a surplus within the next eight or ten months. The secretary answered the questions frankly, und coming back again to the question of contracting for the sale of bonds he Insisted that no favoritism had been shown; that the administration had consulted with leading Imnkers upon the subject; had made the best terms It could, and would have done better If possible. After the secretary's withdrawal from the committee room the various I propositions pending were ordered to i be referred to a sub-committee, which reported to the full committee at 3 j o'clock this afternoon. The Democratic members of the sub-committee are: Messrs. Wilson, Turner and rtrynn. Messrs. Payne and Hopkins were added i on the part of the Republicans, but It was subsequently agreed that the Re publican members Bbould select their own representatives. After the com mittee adjourned the Republicans met Informally and selected Messrs. Reed and Hopkins. The Henson for Secrecy. Later in the afternoon fuller details of what occurred between Secretary Carlisle In the committee became pub lie. The contract with the syndicate covered two typewritten pngeB which the secretary rend to the committee. The contract was signed by J. Plerpont Morgan, of New York, for J. S. Mor gan, of London; by August Helmont, of New York, for N. W. Rothschild, of London, and by Secretary Curllsle. It was witnessed by Francis L. Stetson, of New York, the president's former law partner. Secretary Carlisle explained his rea son for asking that un Injunction of secrecy be observed regarding the terms of the contract on the ground thut If the manner and time of paying for the bonds wore made known, bankers and others might corner the gold which the syndicate must procure to pay for the bonds and thus greatly embarrass them.

Williamsport, Feb. 12. The dinner j given in this city tonight by the Lincoln j Henublican club, In honor of the birth- , day of Abraham Lincoln, was attended I largely by prominent politicians from nil over the state who had gathered to pay tribute to the memory of the martyred president. The dinner was an occasion fraught with good cheer and eloquent oratory. Attorney General H. Clay McCormlck, whose home la ut Williamsport, was a leading spirit at the gathering, which included the foremost statesmen of the commonwealth. The feature of the evening was the speech of Lieutenant Governor Watres, of Scranton. Lieutenant Governor Watres spoke as follows: Since the recent election everv one knows that the Lycoming Republicans are uniformly "girded with a sword upon their thigh" and that, bv educat ing the people, you have turned and overturned the enemy within your Jurisdiction until Republican ideas pre vailed. This erstwhile Democratic fort ress hus been captured und re-modelled into n Republican camp whoso zeal and Are have shed a lustre in the halls of legislation, und from your midst nnd membership hns been select ed a distinguished Republican lawyer and statesmun who will grace with sig nal ability the law department of this commonwealth. This club of yours Is recognized as on important factor In adding to the fame of the party and the state, and In such a presence It would be presump tion to tell of the history or the destiny of the party, under whose banner you have so nobly fought. In my schoolboy days! was taught something like this"; thut a limited view guve broadest scope that one looking through a small win dow can easier tell what lie sees than could one who hud before him a broad expanse. So the Republican pnrty istoo big to tell about upon un occasion like this. It is the party of real existence, vital principles und of safe and illustrious men nbk to run the government. Its marvelous record Is Inseparably Inter woven with human liberty and the pub lic weal and history has painted no picture nf wise or bonellecnt govern ment which stands out in such a clear and comforting relief from the gloomy and disheartening background of Dem ocratic Inetllciency nnd blundering con trol The Pemocrntie Iden. It Is related of the Connecticut early settlers that they resolved to be gov erned by the laws of God until they could get time to make better ones. This was before they hung men. burned witches and persecuted for righteous ness" snke. F.von so when what used to be known ns the Democratic party suddenly and unfortunately and unac countably had power thrust upon It, resolved Hint the people should be gov erned by Republican laws and Repub lican policy until It had time to enact the laws and promulgate the policies thut have shaken the financial and com mercial stability of the country, shut tered confidence, leaving nothing but ruin anil desolation In their nwful trail. Hut for faith In the Republican party the business, the commercial arid the labor Interests of the country would lie down In utter despair. ' Hut history Jus tllles the hope that the party which has never fulled in nn emergency will successfully meet the stern require ments of the- hour, and thut, In ISMS, If It Is not n Reed or a McKlnley or n Harrison It may be one of Pennsylva nia's own Illustrious sons whom we nil delight to lionor. Who will lend the Intelligence and the patriotism of the country out of the chaos of Democratic misrule Into the sunshine of Republi can order and prosperity. Thus will history repeat Itself nnd the party of the peoplo nnd of progress and of prosperity will ngnln do honor to Its greatest and best exponent the man whose name and whose memory wdll be reverred as long as a single lover of human liberty survives Abraham Lincoln.
