Speclul to the Scranton Tribune.
Harrlsburg, .Inn. 10. Tlio legislative
halls on capitol lilll have been deserted
since the Html rally, Tuesday nlBlit, In
the fioiee light for United States sena
tor. The legislators, politicians nlid
olllee-soekt-rs hao nil gone away and
will not return before next week. The
senate and house will reconvene a week
from tomorrow and on the following
day n Joint convention of both bodies
wil be held for the election of a sena
tor. It Is not thought the presiding of
ficers will announce their committees
until after the senator has been elected.
The scramble for plnre In the legis
lature has been Intonsllled by the state
committee's delay In making up the
list of olllcers and subordinates. Every
senator and representative wants a po
sition for a constituent. There are so
many more applicants than places that
the slato-innkers are having a haul
time fixing up a list that will give any
tblng like satisfaction. The senate and
house subcommittees will meet at Phil
adelphia next Friday to report a slate.
It Is expected that both will be ready
to report Immediately niter the lecess.
Meanwhile the olllcers of the last ses
sion hold over, although there is noth
ing for them to do.
The legislative hopper will be chocked
with bills for ten or lltteen days after
the committees have been announced.
Nearly all the legislators liave legisla
tion of some kind which they are anx
ious to present early in the session.
Senator Quay's reform measurers are
expected to be handed In before the
close of January. It Is safe to say that
there will be the usual large number of
road bills offered. Senator John H.
Brown, of Westmoreland county, has
tried In every session the past six
years to pass a bill for the Improvement
of the public roads. The neatest lie
ever came to it was too years ago,
when the senate adopted his measure.
The house did not take so kindly to it,
however, and the bill was defeated on
second reading.
SENATOR BROWN STILL HOPES.
But the senator has not yet given up
hope of the enactment of Mich legisla
tion and will try again this session. He
has prepared a bill containing sug
gestions made by Governor Hastings In
his message on road legislation. The
measuie carries with It an appropria
tion of $l,ono,000 annually. Prof. John
Hamilton, deputy secretary of agricul
ture, has drafted an act that Is thought
meets with executive approval. The
professor lias given much thought to
the road question and thinks his meas
ure Is just what the people want. He
declines to make public Its features un
til after It has been turned into the
legislature.
Anticipating a demand on the part
of the legislature for lnformotlon of a
reliable charter on the road ques
tion, and more especially in relation to
the present status of the general and
local road laws of the state, Professor
Hamilton has had ex-Senator A. D.
Harlan of Coatesvllle, make an ex
amination Into the road laws of Penn
sylvania and to prepare a digest of all
such laws as have not been repealed.
Senator Brown has also prepared a
new primary election law, which will
be made a part of the Quay reform
legislation. The main feature of the
bill Is a provision making It the duty
of the officers of the genet al election to
conduct the primaries.
Senator James G. Mitchell, of Jeffer
son, Is working on a bill to reorganize
the department of factory Inspection
s6 as to bring bake shops In cities and
small factories under Its supervision.
His colleague, Representative W, O.
Smith, has a bill amending the libel
laws which the thinks ought to become
a law. Mr. Smith Is a newspaper pub
Usher and will try to get the support of
the profession in this tate for Ills meas
ure. The compulsory education law
will likely be amended to euro certain
defects and the department of public
Instruction will try to secure the pass
age of a bill establishing township high
schools and making a special appro
priation for their support.
FIGHT AGAINST BOOK TRUST.
Senator Arthur Kennedy, of Alle
gheny, will renew the old light against
the "school hook trust." He Is chair
man of the special committee to Inves
tigate the public school system and has
prepared two bills, the aim of which is
the publication and sale of all text
books by the state. Investigations of
previous sessions of the legislature re
vealed that many thousands of dollars
can be saved by the Issuance of books
under state supervision. Senator Ken
nedy believes such a step will be in the
direction of reform and will bring to
an end a monopoly to compels the
schools to pay very high prices.
The legislature will probably adopt
the suggestion In the governors mes
sage for a new congressional, senato
rial and legislative apportionment.
Lieutenant Governor Lyon thinks the
people want a new division anil he Is
In favor of giving It to them. He de
clares, however, that a congressional
apportionment Is not so much of a ne
cessity as the state gets her full repre
sentation by having two members' of
cougress-at-large. If a new apportion
ment Is made Philadelphia and Pitts
burg will each get another congress
man, Allegheny county will also gain
another senator anil four representa
tives If the senatorial and legislative
districts are changed. Philadelphia
will also come in for several now mem
bers. The Raines law, of New York, cover
ing tho granting of liquor licenses and
the regulation of saloons, will bo pre
sented with some modifications to the
legislature early In the session In order
to hurry its passage. Tho chief fea
tures of the Raines bill Is that all liquor
licenses are granted by one-clef com
missioner appointed by tho governor,
who acts on the recommendation of dis
trict deputy commissioners. By tak
ing the license power away from the
judges the men who are pledged to a
general system of reform legislation
propose to take away from tho mana
gers of so-called municipal rings the
opportunity they now have of coercing
saloon keepers on the plea of their as
sumed Influence with the courts.
TO REGULATE THE SALOONS.
Another feature of the Raines law Is
that the regulation for tho conduct of
saloons are uniform throughout the
state. The lack of uniformity In the
operation of the Brooks law had been a
source of great complaint by liquor
dealers. Some of the points to bo cov
ered by the proposed bill will be spocl
iled hours for opening and closing, be
more definite In regard to hotels and
the service of drinks to hotel guests
and declare expllclty whether there
may bo free lunches or not.
The division of the license fees has
not been decided definitely. The share
for the city treasury will probably re
main as It Is, but at least a part of the
portion now given to the county must
be diverted to the state to pay the ex
penses of the commission. This ex
pense now falls upon the counties and
will he transferred by the bill to tho
state government. The state will be
divided into excise districts, as In New
York, with one deputy for each district.
All applicants must be made to him
and he will recommend to the chief
commissioner at Harrlsburg.
A CONTESTED ELECTION.
The Republican factions will likely
clash in the house on the contested
election ease from the Third Philadel
phia district. Oscar Saunders, who was
elected from this district two years ago
as a Pennsylvania Democrat, has since
turned Republican and Is claiming the
seat of Rogert L. Roberts, the sitting
Republican members. Roberts is a
member of the administration faction
and Is alleged by Saunders to have been
elected by fraudulent and Illegal votes.
The elections committee will take up
the contest immediately after Its ap
pointment In order to dispose of It early.
Speaker Boyer Is expected to Issue a
writ next week for a special election In
the Fifteenth Philadelphia district to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna
tion of Walton M. Pennlwell to become
Sheriff's Crow's real estate deputy. It
is thought Edward II. Vare, a member
from the First Philadelphia district,
will resign before the February elec
tions. This is his first term and he is
said to be tired of public life.
Speaker Boyer Is commended by his
colleagues for his determination to pre
serve better order In the hous-e during
the sessions. He purposes keeping off
floor lobbyists, politicians and others
who'heretofore have made It a thor
oughfare tho past ten years. The rule
relative to the privileges of the floor
will be rigidly adhered to. The cham
ber has been transformed Into one of
the most beautiful and comfortable as
sembly halls In the country and Speak
er Boyer purposes keeping out all who
have no business there.
The most important legislation to
Western Pennsylvania enacted two
years ago were the "Greater Pittsburg"
bills which had for their object the con
solidation of Pittsburg, Allegheny and
the outlying district In Allegheny coun
ty. The Supreme court has since de
cided certain provisions of the law un
constitutional. Public sentiment is op
posed to the acts In general and in de
ference to this feeling Senator William
Flinn, of Allegheny, who stood sponsor
for the bills, has already Introduced a
general act repealing them. The bills
will he repealed much easier than they
were passed. Wanbaugh.
BIG FIRES AT BUFFALO.
Lumber Yard of Haines & Company.
Three Firemen Are Overcome With
Smoke Richmond Block.
Buffalo, N. Y Jan. 10. Tho large
lumber yards of Haines and company
were discovered on f:re at four o'clock
this afternoon, The yards are bounded
by Erie and River streets, the Colt Slip
and the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad tracks. Tho llnmes
spread quickly and in response to a sec
ond alarm the fire apparatus in the
southern section responded and were
reinforced by the llr tugs. While the
fire was prevented from spreading fur
ther the utmost e'forts of the depart
ment were powerless to entliely sub
due the llames and up to 1 a. m. the
firemen were at work on the place.
There is $150,000 worth of lumber In
the vard and this is In sured for $120.
000. The loss is estimated at $50,000.
Three firemen were overcome by smoke
and had to be taken to the hospital.
Fire broke out in the Richmond block.
at six o'clock this evening and dam
aged the building and contents to tho
extent of $150,000. The building Is a live

Unless Senator Sherman (iocs Into
tho Culinct--.1Ir. Colloin is Now
Considered a Fossiuility.-Kustcrn
.Hun ho .Hay Re Ollorod the Port
folio of Secretary of State.
Cleveland, O., Jan. 10. Major Sic
Klnley attended church this morning
and later enjoyed a long drive. He
will leave for Canton In tho morning
nnd expects to remain there till tne
first of March.
Mnjor McKlnley said to a friend to
day that this week would be an lmpor
tant one In tho process of organising
his cabinet and administration. The
formation of the cabinet hinges upon
the salient and pivotal positions of sec
retary of state and secretary of the
treasury. It Is quite probable that
both of these Important cabinet port
folios will be tendered and accepted by
the end of the week. Senator Sherman
has had some communication with Ma
jor McKlnley, and he will go to Canton
whenever the president-elect desires
him to, and his visit will, according to
present arrangements nere, be about
the middle of tho, week. It Is now
pretty well established that Major Mc
Klnley wants Sherman to be secretary
of state, but It Is by no means certain
that Mr. Sherman has made up his
mind to accept a cabinet appointment.
Ills Inclination Is to remain in the sen
ate, whore tho work is systematized
and familiar, and where he can regu
late the amount and quality of it to a
considerable extent. He feels no strong
desire, said one of his friends of long
standing today, to undertake the severe
and exacting task of the most Impor
tant and dlfllcult governmental de
partment. But, on the other hand, ho
has had long experience as chairman
of the committee on foreign relations
and many of his most valued friends
are earnestly urging him to close his
notable public career by n brilliant ad
mission of the department of state.
MARK HANNA'S AMBITION.
The natural nnd timely desire of II.
A. Hanna to go to the senate, may
have much to do with Mr. Sherman's
appointment to tho cabinet if he ac
cepts a portfolio. Mr. Hanna has been
one of Mr. Sherman's most valuable
lrlends. Ho has done a great deal for
him in n polltcal way and Mr. Sherman
doubtless feels' that lie" oes Ills last
election to the senate In part to the
r.eal support of Mr. Hanna. Their re
lations have been friendly and close
for years. If Mr. Sherman docs not
accept the offer of a cabinet position,
the way to the- senate will remain
closed to Mr. Hanna, for he would no't
contest the seat with his personal and
political friend. It is rumored tonight
that Senator-elect Joseph B. Foraker
will be Invited to visit Canton while'
Mr. Sherman Is there. Upon the ac
tion of Mr. Foraker and his friends,
the senatorial aspirations of Mr.
Hanna depend. Governor Bushnoll, of
Ohio, will appoint Mr. Sherman's suc
cessor for the unexpired term of two
years If he goes Into the cabinet. He
Is a devoted friend and ally of Senator
elect Foraker, and It may be that It is
feared that he would not appoint Mr.
Hanna to the vacancy for the rea
son that 'they belong to opposite
factions of the party, and have
been at odds In a political way
for several years. The Impression pre
vails among many of the politicians
that while Messr. Foraker and Bushnell
are thoroughly friendly to Major Mc
Klnley and desire to support him loy
ally and efllelently, they do not wish to
build up Mr. Hanna's personal prestige
and power in the Ohio polltlca'l Held.
No promise or Intimation of tho course
he will pursue has been obtained from
Governor Bushnell, who Is 111 with the
grippe at his home In Springfield. The
belief Is current In Ohio that unless
Governor Bushnell will consent to Mr.
Hanna to the senate, the latter will
himself accept a cabinet appointment,
so the conference at Canton this week
will Involve the probable disposition
of two cabinet portfolios, a seat In the
United States senate and the future
status of Mark Hanna in national poll
tics. CULLOM A POSSIBILITY.
One week ago today Senator Cullom,
of Illnols, came to Cleveland to call on
the president-elect. He said to the cor
respondent of the United Presses in
the course of a long conversation:
"I am not a cabinet possibility. It
seems to me that It is my duty to re
main In tho senate."
Interest has marched with celerity
during the past week and rumors are
changing dally.
Notwithstanding the fact that one
week ago Senator Cullom sincerely said
he could not accept a cabinet portfolio
If it were offered him, he Is today a po
tent possibility. Senator Cullom Is
highly esteemed by the president-elect
and Is considered a wise, well-equipped,
vigorous man of high character and
most excellent training In public life.
A good deal more Is likely to be heard
of Senatot Cullom In connection with
the cabinet within t)ie next three weeks,
The gossip about ex-Governor John D.
Long, of Masaehusetts, and the cabinet,
seems to have a pretty strong basis for
Its existence.
Major McKlnley has been thinking
about ex-Governor Long for several
weeks, nnd tho visits of Senator Proc
tor evidently caused tho matter to be
thoroughly and seriously discussed,
Major McKlnley knew Governor Long
extremely well and has always had a
high opinion of his charaoter and abil
ity. Should Senator Sherman decide to
remain In the senate, three eastern
men will be considered In reference to
their avalllblllty for appointment ns
secretary of state, They are Stewart
L. Woodford and Andrew D. White, of
New York, and ex-Governor John D,
Long, of Massachusetts. Of the Now
York men, General Woodford Is
thought by those who are speculating
upon the cabinet, to have the better
chance, but this Is a matter oi surmise.

The Governor of Iowa Will Probably Be
Sentenced for Contempt of Court
in tlie Prime Case.
Dos Moines, Iowa, Jan. 10. Governor
Drake must commission John It. Prime
as brigadier in command of tho lirst
brigade of the Iowa National Guard,
or answer for contempt of court. In
case he Is brought up for contempt,
the governor's attorney has stated ho
will pardon himself, and the interesting
spectacle will be presented of the exe
cutive and judicial departments In di
rect conflict with each other.
Nearly a year ago Prime was elected
by the first brigade as its commander.
Adjutnnt General Wright had befrlend
e'd James A. Guest, his opponent, and
declined to admit Prime's election. He
ordered a new election and again Prime
won. Then the vote was so canvassed
as to throw out a large number of
I'rme votes. Guest was declared elect
ed and was commissioned. Prime sued
for a mandamus to compel the govern
or to commission him. The case has
been pending several months and yes
terday Judge Spurrier decided It. He
held that Prime was elected, that only
peisonal spite actuated the governor
and adjutant In refusing him the com
mand. The mandamus will Issue to
morrow. The attorney general repre
sented the governor at the trial. He
declared the governor's authority as
commander-in-chief of the guard, par
amount to the courts and said he would
not obey Its orders, if committed for
contempt he would pardon himself.
The defense will appeal at once and
an early hearing Is expected. Prime will
commence a proceeding to oust Guest
as commander of the brigade, and some
sensational features are expected as
the governor is expected to refuse to
obey the court's orders.
MITCHELL'S HARD FIGHT.
The Senator from Oregon Must Pin
cnte Cold Republicans.
Salemn, Ore., Jan. 10. Unless United
States Senator Mitchell succeeds in
winning the sound money Republicans
members of the state legislature to his
suport when that body meets tomorrow
morning he will have' a more dllflcult
task In seeuriuir ills election than did
Senator Dolph two years ago. It Is
conceded that Mr. Mitchell need not
hope for any Democratic or Popullstlc
votes and ho will have to modify his
views In order to placate the anti-free
silver Heublicans.
His strength lies In tho fact that the
opposition to him Is not cencentrated
upon any one candidate.

POPULISTIC APPEAL.
Chairman Washburn Addresses the
People's Party of the United States
Asking Unanimous Support.
Boston, Jan. 10. George F. Wash
burn, member of the People's party
national executive committee, and
chairman of the western headquarters
during tho late campaign, has Issued
an appeal to the Populists of the Unit
ed Slates, in tho course of which he
says:
Wo united with the stiver forces in the
recent campaign, not because wo bellevo
free coinage of sliver Is tho solution of
thet financial problem, but because It
would better existing conditions, would
meet with the least resistance and become
tho entering wedge for our main Issue,
vis: Full legal tender money, Issued and
regulated by the government alone, Hav.
Ing proved our loyalty at tho polls, we
are free to act separately on advanced
lines and emphasize- tho real issues our
party was born to advocate.
The Democratic party proposes to con
tinue tho silver fight. We are not Dem
ocrats and ennnot be classed as tuoh.
We simply united for a slgle campaign.
Tho Democratic party Is but the rear
guard of our own. We ao not stand lor
redemption money, but for a scientific
dollar, kept Invariable by proper regula
tion of the money volume. The millions
of converts to silver during tho recent
campaign must advance. They will not
remain where they are. Wo must edu
cate them up to the main ls3Ue, and the
time to do It is now, not Just before a
presidential election. We must also hold
the Democratic parti' to Its present posi
tion or compel It to advance.
President Cleveland supplies us with
fresh Incentive for renewed effort In his
ofllclal demand for the retirement of
greenbacks and tho Issuo and control of
paper money (except coin certificates) by
tho banks. Senator Quay says this should
be made an Issuo by the Republicans,
and advocates tho substitution of United
States notes, payable la gold, for the
gieenbacks.
Here we have n living Issue with both
wings of the gold forces, which brings
our main question to the front: Shall the
paper money of this country bo Issued and
regulated by the people or by tho banks'.'
This will precipitate a hot Rebate In eon-
gress anil will afford our sentinels In con
gress an opportunity to measure tho true
attitude of the silver, Democratic and
Republican lenders on nn Issue vital to
our party and the welfare of the country,
and to determine to what extent our re
cent allies can be depended upon,
Let us act with patriotism, courage
and sagacity. Let us lose no time. If any
lack Incentive, It will be found In the In
tenso suffering everywhere, and In the
Increasing arrogance, lawlessness and
heartlessness of the trusts and monopo
lies. Against their power we put prin
ciple; against their money wo match
manhood, and urge nil Populists to con
tinue this contest during tho next four
years, and then hold an early national
convention to sttiko tho key note of the
next presidential campaign, or, If desir
able, establish an honorable alliance on
leading issues.
1 also suggest that a national conference
of party leaders and voikers be held us
soon as practicable, that we may have a
full and free expression of opinion re
garding our futuie work.
Shall we inarch to victory under our
own banner, or continue, as stragglers,
under anuther?
