BOYS WERE VERY FUNNY
Hilarity Prevailed at Closing Session
of Legislature,
THE APPORTIONMENT WRANGLE
Tho Lnuhnck-llcller Klcetlon Contest In
Decided at Lost Presentation of
Furniture-An All-Mcht Sen
don of tho House.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Harrlsburg, Juno 7. Tho legislature
will close up I to affairs tomorrow at
noon. Last night of session was marked
by usual noisy demonstration. It was
a most difficult matter to maintain or
der In the house, where the chief con
cern of each member seemed, to be to
contrive some new method of torturing
his colleagues. Hilarity began early
In the duy and was kept up until early
morning. BUI files, books, paper wads
and wet sponges were thrown around
the chamber until It became a matter
of life and limb. Many of the members
lft the house early In the evening to
escape flying missiles. Cannon crack
ers and torpedos were exploded under
seats and wet sponges offered much
amusement for mlrth-provldlng legis
lators. Representative Fow was the
victim of many of his waggish col
leagues, but he payed close attention
to business and saw that legislation In
which he was Interested was put
through In proper form. It was con
sidered a great Joke to put a handful of
beans down members' backs. Several
members had planned to turn the fire
hose In the corridor of the capital on
the house, but the rubber pipe was too
short to accomplish their purpose. All
the while clerks were calling roll on
conference committee reports and bills
on final passage. At midnight both
branches took recess of an hour for
lunch.
The fight of the night was over the
general appropriation bill. It was
amended by senate as follows: Twenty
thousand dollars for Penrose committee
to Investigate operations of Bullitt act;
Jlii.COO fcr Kennedy commission to
Levow public schools; $10,000 to investi
gate prison labor; $30,000 for the At
lanta exposition commission, and $3,000
for the Focht committee to ascertain
the number of aliens In the state in
sane hospitals.
When the bill was returned to the
house Mr. Fow kicked on the Kennedy
and Philadelphia Lexow committees.
He contended .that resolutions must be
concurrent and the commissions were
clearly Illegal. The motion to concur
In the senate amendments was badly
defeated. Speaker Walton appointed on
conference committee Messrs. Mar
shall. Rltrr and Collins. Senators
Grady, P rose and Fruit looked af ter
the Interests of the senate. At a late
hour the conference committee was
still In session.
FEATURES OF THE DAY.
Conference Committee's Report of Jndl
clal Apportionment Hill Is Adopted.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Harrlsburg, June 7. The feature of
the day's proceedings waa the adop
tion of the conference committee's re
port on the Judicial apportionment bill.
A strong effort was made by Repre
sentatives Mullln and Bliss to block
the progress of the bill, but they were
only able to poll thirty-two votes
against it. Mr. Bliss raised the point of
order that the report could not be con
sidered inasmuch as the committee had
been appointed In violation of the rules
of the house, the members of the com
mittee not ail having voted In the
affirmative. Speaker Walton ruled out
this point. Mr. Bliss then raised the
point of order that the committee had
exceeded Us powers In changing the
bill and considering matters concern
ing which there was no differences be.
tween the two bodies. This point was
also ruled out.
Mr. Mullln protested against the
adoption of the report. He thought
the house ought to Insist on that pro
vision of Its bill which disrupted the
Cameron-Cllntotk-Elk district. Mr.
Mullln said the bill had passed the
house with only one Republican vote
against it, and charged that prominent
Republican leaders were Instrumental
In keeping this district Intact so as not
to disturb a Democratic Judge.
The Smiley road bill, providing -for
county conventions of township super
visors to prescribe regulations for the
improvement of the public roads, was
defeated on final passage. This mens
ure has been before the legislature
since the opening of the session. It
was defeated and reconsidered and
finally effectively killed.
The bill permitting corporations or
ganized to carry on any manufacturing
business or for the supply of water, or
for tho manufacture and supplying of
heat to consolidate passed finally after
having been defeated yesterday and
then reconsidered. , The bill Increasing
tne maintenance of the Klwyn Instltu
tion for feeble-minded from $100 to $175
was dereated. The bill to establish the
liability of endorsers of negotiable In
struments met tho same fate.
Bills .to revoke and annul all exclu
sive rights, franchise and privileges of
gas companies which were In existence
prior to the act of April 29, 1874; pro
viding for the incorporation and regu
lation of associations for the transac
tion of the business of real estate bro
kers, and authorizing the formation of
loan companies, passed finally.
The house concurred In the senate
resolution for a committee of five per
sons to Investigate the question of the
bookkeeping In the charitable Instltu
tions of the state. A resolution presenting-
' to Speaker Walton the chair
and desk used by him during the ses
sion was adopted.
WORK IN HOUSE AND SENATE.
Important Business Transacted During
Waning Hours of the Session.
Harrlsburg, Pa., June 7. The revenue
bill was reported to the senate this af
ternoon with a negative recommenda
tion and the judges' retirement bill was
recommitted, Its friends declaring they
would not attempt to pass It this ses
sion. "
The bill taxing malt lluuors was re
ported favorably.
The general appropriation bill passed
finally with amendments and was re
turned to the house for concurrence.
The house concurred In the senate
resolution providing that the general
revenue bill negatived In the senate
shall be certified to the auditor gen
eral for a test of its provisions and re
port to the legislature. The house also
concurred In the senate amendments
to the bill to provide for the appoint
ment of Inspectors of scales, weights
and measures.
Ilellnr Declared ICIccted.
The report of the election committee
In the contested cases of Heller vs.
Laubaeh was presented 1y Senator
Crouse. The committee declares that
after making a careful and laborious
Investigation Into the claims of the re
spective claimants for the seat that
the election oflicers In a number or the
districts were grossly careless, but th!t
there was no evidence to show wilful
violation of the election laws. Tho
committee recommends that the people
of the district hereafter select olllcers
who will attend properly to the busi
ness for which they are chosen. The
committee finds that K. II. Laubaeh
received 8,753 votes nnd 11. D. Heller
8.70ti. A recount showed 452 votes Il
legally cast for Laubaeh and 3!4 for
Heller, so that Laubaeh actually re
ceived 8.301 and Heller 8,312. The com
mittee therefore recommends that II.
V. Heller be declared the legally elect
ed senator from the Northampton
county district, having received a ma
jority of 11 votes. Senator Green said
he was preparing a minority report, but
could not get It ready tonight. He
asked that action be deferred until to
morrow morning at 9 o'clock, when he
would present his report.
Ilonso Proceedings.
The house met at 3 o'clock this after
noon.
The bill conferring upon municipali
ties the right of eminent domain for
the purpose of appro; -la.tlng public
property for the use of the national
guard, which was defeated this week
was reconsidered and amended by
striking out the words "tide water,"
and then passed finally.
The house concurred In the senate
amendments to the state normal
Bchools reducing the amount to each
one from $15,000 to $1.0,000 a year.
When the general appropriation bill
with the senate amendments was called
up, Mr. Fow, of Philadelphia, objected
to the sections appropriating money for
the expenses to investigate the muni
cipal affairs of Philadelphia and the
public school system on the ground that
the committee were not legally const!
tuted. The house refused to concur In
the matter by a vote of 13 yeas to 124
nays. Pending consideration of the gen
eral appropriation blllj the house ad
Journed at 6 o'clock to meet at 7.30.
The house met at 7.30 tonight, and
will probably be In session until mora
lng. Evening Session.
Mr. Fair, Lackawanna, offered a res-
olution directing the superintendent of
public grounds to ship to Mr. Huhn,
the speaker's clerk, the desk and chair
he occupied during the session. The
resolution was agreed to. A resolution
which was offered to permit Dr. War
ren, state ornithologist, to print the
"Bird Hook" by private enterprise, so
as to meet the great demand for this
popular work was objected to.
Dills Defeated.
Harrlsburg, Pa., June 8. These bills
were defeated: To confirm titles to
real estate under allotment sales; au
thorizing county commissioners to keep
in proper repair the course or bed of
any stream leading to either end of a

INSURGENTS' FINAL BLOW
They Are Organizing Expeditions in
This Country.
SrAIN'S CLAIM IS SENTIMENTAL
Campos Said to Bo longer to Leave and
Avoid DIsOHtor-Tho Rebellion
Is Kupldly Gaining
Headway Daily:
London, June 7. Tho Times In an
editorial leader upon the subject of the
extension of the Cuban Insurrection
nnd the reported movements of the
American flllbuterers says that the at
titude of the American government IS
dlplomntlcully correct, but that much
sympathy with the Cuban rebels is
daily notice-able among the American
people. Probably the retention of Cuba
by Spain is a mere question of Justifia
ble pride and sentiment. It Is a pity,
however, that Spain mukes no attempt
to harmonize the Interests of the popu
lation of Cuba with those of bta rulers.
Tho result of chronic discontent and
ever recurring revolts. This Is the real
explanation of the fact that-the in
surgents have the symiathy and tho
financial help of the industrial popula
tion at large on the Island.
A Decisive Stroke.
Fernandlno, Fla., June . 7. The mas
ter stroke of the Cuban revolutionary
movement In this country will occur
within thirty days. The principal lead
era of this party In the United States
gathered at Jacksonville two days ago,
but ' Wednesday afternoon quietly
slipped over here, took carriages and
went to Ocean Beach, where they
stopped at the Strathmore hotel. From
an adjoining room a correspondent
overheard the whole of the delibera
tions, which began at 8 p. m. and lasted
until a late hour. The six men who
composed this revolutionary board
Carlos M. Hecespedas, Gonzale De Que
sada, Colonel Enrique Collnso, Lieuten
ant Thomas Collazo and two prominent
citizens of Fernandlna, who have ap
peared conspicuously before the public
on former occasions In connection with
the Cuban cause. The party gathered
around a urge table on which were
spread numerous charts of Cuba, the
adjacent territory and the United
States coast line from Charleston, S. C,
to a point far down the peninsula of
Florida. As appeared from the con
versation, most of the expeditions here
tofore had gone from Santo Domingo,
but the board decided that the next
big effort must be from the United
States coast south of Charleston, not
only because of the necessary character
and strength ofthe expedition, but be
cause of Innumerable bays, sounds and
rivers In which a fleet could with care
hide or repel a much stronger force.
A fleet of light draught could go un
noticed through Bahama Channels and
' then at night make short runs for the
northern coast of Cuba, where there
are many bays easy of access for an
expedition and poorly guarded. -
Such an expedition was recently con
ducted by the yacht Corona, which
sailed from Satilla river, Ga., a few
weeks ago, and made a landing In a bay
near Glbara. All this was prelimin
ary. Then came plans, and, so far as
completed at that sitting, they were as
follows: That whereas all plans for
carrying forward the Insurrection had
hitherto worked most satisfactorily,
the eastern half of the Island had risen,
the western half was ripe for rebellion
and the Spanish opposition was grow
ing weaker owing to the terrific ravages
of yellow fever and to disease from bad
food supplied the Spanish army, there
fore now had come the time for a tre
mendous effort which should carry a
great expedition from the United
States to Cuba.
To Sail from Georgia Const.
The consulting board decided tho ex
pedition should be made ready at once;
that it should sail from soma point be
tween Brunswick, Oa., and Mayport,
Fla.; that it should be commanded by
Colonel Enrique Callazo, the war
scarred veteran of '68 and '78, nnd that
the fleet should be guarded by three
newly-built torpedo boats of the latest
pattern and of great speed and manned
by experienced seamen. Lieutenant
Tomas Callazo Is to be the staff otllccr
and Colonel Callazo's small army Is to
be recruited from the Cubans In the
United States and plcked-up Americans
from Southern States last mentioned.
Men already collected by Henry
Brooks, who Is now Id New York city,
and who Is to accompany the expedi
tion as member of Callazo's staff, are
also to be enrolled. Callazo Is to land
the expedition at some point in the
Province of Puerto Principe, where
forces collected by Gomez and Marti
will co-operate. The expedition Is to
land In Cuba within thirty days.
In addition to this plan of operation,
the following general Information was
gathered during the deliberations;
That the province of Plnnsdel Rio has
risen and that the Insurgents have
made more progress In the present ris
ing of three months' duration than was
made In seven years commencing lKfiS.
That Is it believed that within a month
tho whole island will be In arms for
tho Cuban cause, and that Captain
Oeneral Campos, commanding the
Spanish forces, is exciting every effort
to be recalled to Madrid before the ar
rival of the disaster which he believes
Is sure to overwhelm Spanish arms
In Cuba very soon. Moreover, that
Jose Marti will be In Florida within the
next ten clays.

I
TIDE OF BUSINESS RISING.
The Gnln Is so Rapid That Many Pears
Henctlon-l:mployinent and Wages aro
on the Incicnso.
New York, Juno 7. R. O. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trude tomorrow will
say:
The tide of business Is rising, even as
It was falling Just two years ago, with
surprising rapidity. Tho gain has gone
so far and so fast In some branches that
the more conservative feur It muy not
be maintained. But the period of dull
ness which comes in each market aftur
an unusual -rise brings as yet nothing
like a corresponding decline. Indus
tries gain much, halt or fall back a
little, and then gain once more. The
demand for consumption steadily In
creases as the employment and wages
of the people Increase. The demand for
money expands. One serious question
remains, whether the crops will be full
enough to sustain a large business. Hut
the worse reports today are better by
far than the estimates recently cur
rent. Iron pushes upward like the great
buildings Into which so much of It goes,
and the advance In finished products
has become general. Of structural
steel 12,600 tons were turned out in May
by the Homestead works, breaking the
record, and prices rise to 1.3 cents for
beams and 1.2 for angles. The Kastern
Bar association has raised the price of
refined iron to 1.1 cent, and the Amalga
mated association demands of Pitts
burg and western makers a change of
wages with 1.1 cent as the basis. Coke
producers are said to have substantial
ly agreed upon sales by an agency and
allotment of output, and an advance
In price to $1.50 or higher. This and
purchases of 50,000 tons by the largest
producer of pig iron have raised Besse
mer to $12 at Pittsburg, and Southern
pig has again been advanced 25 cents,
making 75 cents In all.
Activity .in stocks cannot be expected
with crops In doubt, and the average
of prices closed 37 cents per share lower
for railroads and 40 cents for trusts.
The flow of money hither from the In
terior has not ceased, but has much
lessened, and banks report general In
crease In discounts for the country,
largely for the south and in commercial
loans here, mainly 1n manufacturing
paper.
Failures for the week have been 195
in the United Srates against 216 last
year, and 25 in Canada against 40 last
year. ,
EUROPEANS IN DANGER.
The ISituatlon at Jtddnh Considered a
, Very Grove One.
Jlddah, June 7. The situation here Is
considered a very grave one for the Eu
ropeans who have not been able to take
refuge on board the foreign vessels In
the harbor. There are very few Tur
kish troops In garrison here, and the
townspeople generally are pleased at the
Bedouin attack on the foreign Consuls,
and at their wrecking of the cholera
hospital.
' This being pilgrimage time, religious
feeling among the masses runs very
high, and unless something Is Imme
diately done by one of the powers or by
Great Britain, Russia or France, whose
consular representatives were murder
ously assaulted, to enforce respect for
Europeans, the lives of the latter will
not be safe and a revolt of the Bedouins
shortly is very probable.
DEATH-DEALING CLOUD.
Fatalities In tho Black Porest Now
Amount to Fifty.
Stuttgart, June 7. It Is officially an
nounced that the fatalities which re
sulted from the cloudburst on Wednes
day evening last over the Wurtemberg
portion of the Black Forest amount to
fifty lives lost at Ballngen. In that dis
trict alone thirty houses were demol
taed by the rise of tho waters of the
River Eyaeh. and many other build
ings Were damaged.
There was another cloudburst yester
day over the same district and the
Eyach valley was again Hooded. The
damage done upon this occasion is not
known. The Rems valley was also vis
ited by a water spout, and there have
been heavy thunder storms through
out the southern portion of Wurtem
berg. The Danube and the Neckar are
greatly swollen.
Will no Made Cardinals.
London, June 7. Tho Tost tomorrow
will publluh a dispatch from Rome say
ing that it Is scml-oltlclnlly announced
that Mgr. Satoll, the impel delegnte to the
United States, and Archbishop Haller, of
Salzburg, will be made cnrdlnuls at the
next papal consistory.
McLaughlin Guilty.
New York, Juno 7. Police Inspector Mc
Laughlin was found guilty this morning
of extortion. McLaughlin's trial hns been
a famous one. This Is the second trlnl

CABINET MEETING YESTERDAY
Soorctnry l.omont Returns to Washing
ton After Advising with tho Prcslj.
dent's Now York Friends
Probable Appointee.
Washington, June 7. Secretaries
Smith and Herbert did not attend the
cabinet meeting today. Mr. Smith was
in Georgia and Mr. Herbert had not
returned from Indianapolis. Assistant
Secretury Uhl appeared with the papers
of tho stuto department and It was
generally understood that this would bo
his last nppearancc us acting secre
tary of Btate. Attorney General Olney
wus nn eurly arrival und spent about
twenty minutes In the president's priv
ate office before the cabinet met. Sec
retary Lumont, who has been In New
York, has returned to Washington and
It is believed that ho had a great deal
of cabinet Information In his posses
sion, us it was understood he had con
sulted with the New York friends of
the president while ho was away. He
had a consultation with the president
soon after his return to Washington.
Postmaster General Wilson hurried
back form the South In order to be pres
ent at the meeting, as It was quite pos
sible this would be the last meeting to
be held before the president went away
for th summer. It Is generally under
stood that if all pressing business can
be disposed or the president will leave
here early next week.
No definite information was obtain
able respecting cabinet appointments,
save that there would be an arrange
ment of 'he cabinet and that the only
appointment besides that of Attorney
General Olney to be secretary of state
would be the selection of a successor of
the attorney general.
The meeting lasted nearly two hours
and then adjourned. Postmaster Gen
eral Wilson remained with the presi
dent for some time. It was expected
that at the close of the meeting the
cabinet changes would be announced,
but it was stated by one of the officers
that there was nothing to say. It is
understood that the delay was caused
by the fact that a successor of Attor
ney General Olney had not finaly been
decided upon. The names of several
prominent lawyers have been under
consideration, and It is believed that
tenders have been made which have
been declined.
Is Mr. Harmon the .Man ?
Mr. Harmon is believed to be the
coming man. Mr. Harmon is a man
about fifty years of age, possibly a few
over that number, and a resident of
Cincinnati. His name had not been
used In the gossip about the succession
to Mr. Olney, except, possibly, In pri
vate. For some years he was Judge of
the court of common pleas of Hamilton
county and upon the removal of ex
Governor Hoadly to New York he be
came the head of tho law firm with
which the latter had been connected.
He is said to be one of the foremost
lawyers of the central states.

today charged with having fired a re
volver on the Ballater road, near Bal
