Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Harrlsburg. June 6. The bill creating
the ofllce of deputy auditor general at
a sulary of J3.U00 a year passed dually
In the house today by a vote or 103 to
25. The house completely reversed
itself on this measure. Three weeks
ago it was defeated by a vote of 69
for to 96 ugutnst. It was subsequently
reconsidered and remained undisturbed
on the calendar until It wus called up
this morning by Mr. MeCluin, of Lan
caster, and passed. Representatives
Martin, Focht and Fow, who opposed
the bill three weeks ago, today advo
cated its passage and voted for It.
They explained that a personal exam
ination of the affairs of the auditor
general's department showed the ab
solute necessity of such an office and
contended that, there was no good rea
son for any member voting against It.
Representative Flits, of Columbia,
who has opposed every measure creat
ing a new office or increasing salaries
offered In the present legislature, was
the only members to raise his voice
against it. He said there were seven
teen attaches of the department of the
auditor general at an annual cost of
$:'S.00O. He contended that there was
no necessity for the ofllce and urged the
defeat of the bill.
This measure passed the senate six
weeks ago. It now goes to the gover
nor for his action. There seems to be
no doubt but that it will be approved.
As soon as the governor has disposed
of the proposition Auditor General My.
kin will reorganize rhe force in his de
partment. Colonel John A. Glenn, of
Philadelphia, will be retained as cor
poration clerk, and Sam Matt Fridy, of
Lancaster, will succeed Fred Schober.
Cf Philadelphia, as chief clerk. Other
changes will follow.
The house concurred In the report of
the conference committee on the
Wood's bill requiring municipalities to
purchase existing plants of water com
panies. A resolution was reported from the
rules committee and adopted changing
the hour of convening on Thursday and
Friday mornings from 10 to 9 o'clock.
It had been found necessary to lengthen"
the sessions in order that the bills on
the calendar may be disposed of before
the final adjournment. The members
are working hard, but accomplishing
comparatively little. Although In ses
sion over nin? hours yesterday, only
about twenty bills were disposed of.
There are over 150 on the calendar to
be considered, and unless there Is less
talk and more work, not more than
half of these will ever be reached.

The Flinn road bill giving counties
the right to construct county roads and
to levy a tax for their maintenance
passed finally, after much debate by a
vote of 112 to 66. The measure provides
that the recommendation of the county
commissioners shall first be passed
upon by the grand Jury and approved
by the court before the roads can be
Improved. This Is the first of the score
or more road bills Introduced In this

The Smiley bill providing for county
convention of delegates from each

Improvement of the public roads In the

of the Fllnn bill, Mr. Smlley's proposi
tion will hardly be passed.
The house concurred In the reniats
amendments to .the bill providing that
none but citizens of tha United States
shall b? employed In the erection of
any public work. The senate amend
ments provide that the provisions of
the act shall not apply to any public
work on which the coftt thereof Is met
In whole or part by assessment for ben
efits. The Hackenberg bill allowing cor
porations to lease their franchises was
defeated. This Is the second time this
measure has been resurrected and the
third time It has met defeat. It passed
the senate severs L weeks ago and was
defeated last night In the house. This
morning the vote by which it was killed
was reconsidered and once more the
bill went down. Its advocates have
abandoned all hope of passing It this
session.
The bill allowing school authorities

DEMOCRATS AND SILVER
Large Representation of the Illinois
Tarty Meet lit Springfield.
BRYAN DENOUNCES CLEVELAND
As Modest os Siinl Until Socking Coun
sel from the "1 ainlllur Spirits" of
Wall Street - Now Oun
Ing for Davids.
Springfield, 111., June B. This morn
ing's trains visibly augmented the num
ber of delegates to the Democratic sil
ver convention, and the prospects of It
being a success were correspondingly
Increased.
At one time It looked as If the coun
try was holding back, and that the rep
resentation outside of the city districts
would be so small ail to seriously affect
the standing of silver In the state of
Illinois, but nil. fear of thin was at an
end when the delegates assembled In
the commodious hall of representatives
in the oapltol at noon today. Secretary
of State Hlnrlchsen, by virtue of his of
fice as chairman of the Democratic
State Central committee, called the
meeting to order.
The committee on temporary organi
zation reported.
In opening the convention Mr. Hln
rlchsen stated the object of the conven
tion. Roost for Mr. Cleveland.
Ex-Congressman W. J. Bryan ad
dressed the convention and stated his
well known views In favor of free sil
ver. In speaking of Mr. Cleveland, Mr.
Bryan said:
"It Is to be regretted that the first
Democratic president since the war
should become the trusted Instrument
In the hands of concentrated wealth,
the official head of the "communism of
pelf.' When ho was found he was as
modest as Saul, and as conspicuous
among his fellows for his good con
duct, but since he has sought counsel
of the 'Familiar spirits' of Wall street
he has tried to take the political life
of every David whom the people trust
ed. G rover Cleveland Is not the Demo
cratic party Democracy Is greater
than any man. It will exalt him who
rightly Interprets its truth, but It will
cast him down who seeks to wear Its
livery and yet serve plutocracy,
ting Kulc Introduced.
When Temporary Chairman Craw
ford had finished his brief speech, a
delegate from one of the country towns
started the movement to keep all abuse
of Cleveland or praise of Altgeld out
of the convention, by Introducing a
resolution that all resolutions of a po
litical nature offered to the convention
be received and referred to committee
on resolutions without being read.
. Merr.'ttsof Marion county, was on his
feet in an instant, and strenuously ob
jected to huvlng wf at he called the gag
law applied to the convention. Ho
wanted any tcrlutlons Introduced to
he duly lead. It was evident this was
going to be a hot fight by the enemies
of the administration to get In their
attacks. The original Introducer of the
motion withdrew It and the point re
mained unsettled, as the convention ad
journed until 2 o'clock to allow the com
mittees to prepare their reports.
A Kow Narrowly Averted.
Had it not been for the timely action
of the secretary of state, W. H. Hln
rlchsen, the Democratic silver conven
tion would have ended In a tow. It all
came about because of a plank In the
resolutions endorsing Governor Alt
geld. It had been expressly agreed be
fore the convention was called to order
that there was to be no action taken
outside of that for which the call pro
vided the placing of the seal of ap
proval on free coinage and the elec
tion of delegates to a national conven
tion to be held some time In the near
future.
The trouble began when the platform
had been rend by ex-Congressman
Flthlan, chairman of the resolutions
committee, a firm friend of the Altgeld
plunk. A storm of protests arose all
over the hall. At this Juncture Hln
rlchsen arose and waved his hand, and
Instantly the uproar was hushed.
"Gentlemen, he said, "I have a personal
request to make of you. It Is this:
That the part of the resolutions endors
ing Governor Altgeld be stricken out,
and for this I ask unanimous consent.
The members of the state administra
tion did not expect to be endorsed by
this convention either as Individuals or
as a whole. If such endorsements were
made, the object of this convention
would be mulllfled."
Chairman Flthlan, without even
waiting for the convention to ratify the
request, read the resolutions over
again, this time leaving out the objec
tionable paragraph. Then the delegates
adopted the platform with a yell.
The Platform.
The platform consisted of a preamble
and a single plank declaring for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
16 to 1. It also requested the Dem
ocratic national committee to call a
Demooratlc national convention to con
aider the money question not later thnn
August, 1MI5. "If the national commit
tee refuses to call such a convention,
then we Invite the Democratic state
committees of the other states to take
concurrent action with the Democratic
state committee of this state In calling
such convention" was the way the plat
form concluded.
Governor Altgeld was brought before
the convention and addressed It In fa
vor of silver. His speech was void of
sensationalism and was confined to the
usual arguments in favor of free coin
age. The convention, after, electing
delegates to the national convention,
adjourned.

Constantinople, June 5. Advices re
ceived here from Jlddah, Arabia, where
th.) consular officers of Great Bri
tain, Ituvalu, and France were recently
murderot: ily ussuulted, announce that
a panic piovulls there, und that It Is
feared tly; Bedouins wlU attuck the
town. The latter are held responsible
for the ultaek ujon the consuls which
resulted In the death of th British
vice-consul, and a number of them
were arrested In conseqUence. This
has u tigered the Bedouins, who demand
the release of those arrested, threaten
ing to use force If their demand Is not
complied with. The situation Is so se
rious that the Europeans of Jlddah are
hastily seeking refuge on board the
merchant vessels In the harbor, taking
with them all they possibly can of their
belongings.
It Is also stated In the advices that
the arrival thorn of the British Mediter
ranean squadron, numbering seven
teen warships of various classes, Is anx
iously expected even by the Turkish
authorities, as the garrison Is very
weak. In addition to the excitement
caused by the arrests the Bedouins ure
diKSutbfld with the quarantine meas
ures which the Turkish government
has been compelled to tulte ut Mecca,
nt the Instance of the powers. In order
to prevent the Introduction of cholera
In the northern ports by the return of
Infected pilgrims from Mecca. In fact,
it Is believed that these sanitary meas

upon the consuls. The pilgrims have

have been proposed by the powers.
In this connection the situation of
affairs Is unchnnged. The Porte's reply,
however, Is regarded as a momentary
success for the military party. On
the other hand, the policy of the Porte
Is criticised by the Ottoman statesmen
who regard It as disastrous to Turkey.
Excitement In London.
London, June 5. There was much ex
citement In London and nt the foreign
office last evening on account of the
receipt of the despatches announcing
that the Turkish government had re
fused to agree to the reforms in Ar
menia demanded by the representa
tives of Great Britain, France and Rus
sia. All the foreign office officials, In
cluding the Earl .of Klmberley, were
at their posts last night and met again
nt the foreign office today. There Is a
strong belief here that the reply of the
Porte was purposely drafted In unfav
orable terms In order th gain time'. The
Sultnn Is Invisible during the Balram,
one of the two great Mohammedan fes
tivals of the year, which has now be
gun. The powers. It Is now asserted
here, will address a stronger note to
the Porte nnd back this up by a naval
demonstration.
The feeling of nppvhenslon here Is
Intensified by tho news of the panic at
Jlddnh. There Is no question of the
powers abating their demands In any

JAPAN MAY ANNEX HAWAII.
1.1 fo of tho Republic M ill no Brief Tnless
t'nelo Sam Comes to Its Aid.
Omaha, Neb., June B. Major Morti
mer Hlgley, of Cedar Rapids, la.. Is on
the way liome from Hawaii. Hlgley,
who Is an Intimate friend of President
Dole nnd has been In the republic some
time, nsserts that the life of thp present
administration Is limited unless some
of the powers come to Its rescue. He
says: "They have a thoroughly organ
ized republic In every part, but the
more Intelligent classes realize that It Is
a provisional one necessarily. The
sentiment In favor of annexation Is
strong. The most kindly feelings are
cherished townrd the United States
among tho natives as well ns the rest
of the population. I nredlct that If the
United States does not annex the
Islands Japan will. You know what
the effect of the late war was on Japan.
It made her Jubilant nnd self-confident.
She has 40,000 clllzens In the Island who
have Bettled there. Besides, the Japan
ese are restless under the Hawaiian
government because the government
does not allow tho orientals to partici
pate In public affairs. The balance of
the population, however, are allowed to
vote, with some property and educa
tional limitations.
"Yes, I think tha,t If the United
States does not take command of the
Islands' during the course of the next
administration Japan wll' But I think
that the Hawallans realize the. com
plexity of the problem and are In favor
of coming In ns a territory and not as a
state. President Dole told me he Was
In favor of annexotlon, for tho republic
must have the support of a strong
power, and many of the most promin
ent royalists are nlso, Including Cum
mlngs the leader of the rebellion, who
Is now under :IO,000 bonds. The Eng
lish guardian of Princess HCalulanl,
who has been a pronounced royalist,
has lately expressed himself to the
effect that annexation Is the only sal
vation for the Islands. In the United
States we have many Hawaiian exiles.
They are unanimously In favor of an
nexation, as It would result In the res
toration of their rights."
UNCLE SAM WILL NOT ACT.
Colombia and Nloaragna to Settle the
Mosquito Question.
Washington, Juno 6. General Ren
glfo, charge d'affaires of the Colombian
Republic, said today that he had con
clued not to present to the statu depart
ment the claims of Colombia to the
Mosquito territory, long held by Nica
ragua. He found on examining the ln
Htruetlons from his government that
they left him free to use his own Judg
ment as to urging the case at Washing
ton. He was satisfied tho question should
be left for negotiation between Colom
bia mid Nioargua; and that the present
status did not call for any representa
tions to the United States, nnd he has
advised his government accordingly.
General Renglfo says Colombia will
take pacific means to urge her claims,
and that there Is no reuson'to expect a
recourse to arms.
SUES A MILLIONAIRE'S SON.
Mrs. J. A. Burr Wants $50,000 Damages
for Breach of Promise.
New York, June 6. 'Mrs. J. A. Barr, a
handsome widow of this city, has sued
Harry J. Newton, of South Ny3Ck, for
$r,0,000, for failure to keep his promise to
murry her. Mrs. Barr Is the widow of
Dr. John W. Barr, a well-known physi
cian who died In February, 1X91. Mr.
Newton Is the son of Henry J. Newton,
of US West Forty-third street, a mil
lionaire and a noted advocate of spirit
ualism. Mr. Newton, sr., has given
many splrituallstlcs"ances at his house,
and was at one time a strong believer
in Mrs. Etta Roberts. Mrs. Newton
was formerly secretary X Sorosls, and
Is treasurer of the First Society of
Spiritualists.
The defendant's answer Is short and
to the point. Me denies that he ever
promised to marry her. Mrs. Barr says
Newton's parents were opposed to her
because she did not share their en
thusiastic belief in spooks. She de
clares that In the Newton household,
both at South Nyack and In this city,
spirits were In constant attendance.
The breakfast table was rocked by un
seen hands and at night the beds stood
on end. While not exactly a scoffer,
Mrs. Barr did not believe the mani
festations were caused by a visitor
from the other world.
