Scranton Hospital Bill.
The controversy over the roll call on
the II tin! passage of the Scranton hos
pital bill In the house nn Friday was
renewed at tonight's session by Mr.
f'reasy, of folninhiii. moving to ap
piove the loiirnal of that session with
Hie exception of the vote on that bill,
lie followed his motion with a protest
against the recording of the votes of
Alessrs. I'.eacoin. Chew. Council, Kd
wards. Fahey. Ileiulei'son, ICopji, I.eili,
.McConiiell. Keibel. Seal and .Murphy,
w were recorded as bavins; voted in
the allirnintive and some of whom air.
i rensy said, were not present when
the vole was taken.
Speaker .Marshall ruled that the
house could only approve or disap
prove the Journal as a whole, and that
It could not act on a portion of the
.lournal. The .Ioiirna! was approved by
a vote of IK! to HI.
Mr. flnll, of Allegheny, said much of
the trouble over the alleged Inac-
unify was due to .members leaving
the dlty and requesting the clerk to
inorlc them up on certain hllK .Mem
bers could cn-lly "m where this prac
tice would lead to if il was not
checked. On the verltlcatlnn of the
roll il" the clerk does not lead the
names of such members he Is put In
the position .of falsifying the rolls.
This is not Just to the clerk nor to the
house. .lr. (lull suggested to the
i lerks that they refuse to record the
ii.mie of any member who Is not pres-
nt and answering to his name, If a
incnibvir wants to vole on a bin, he
oiitliiiied, let him lie here and vote
when Ills name is called, and there will
be no further controversy over the
loll,
Speaker aim-shall slated that lie had
Instructed the clerk to hereafter re
cord :m member who Is not present
and voting. It lias been Hie custom
ever since lie has been a member to
mark absent members on appropria
tion bills, ilut this must stop and if
tlio bills fall the responsibility rests
wltlt tlic members themselves and not
with the clerks,
I'liief Clerk Hnrvln m.iile n state,
uient defending himself against the
accusation that the roll call on the
ote on the Scranton hospital hill was
falsified, He said thai he kept the roll

fast and at n much higher elevation
than is llie limit in America. The
rise also is eighteen yards, as against
sixteen in the United States.
Tlie scores at the first practice were
very disappointing. Cliauneoy Pow

twenty. "Fred Gilbert, of Spirit I.altc.

of the old reliables fell down finite ser

NOT A PARTY
TO GUARANTY
United States Will Not Join in
Agreement to Be Responsible
tor Chinese Indemnity,.
ARRANGEMENT DIFFICULT
Considerable Anxiety Is Shown in
Diplomatic Circles nt Washington.
Over the Determination of the
United States Not to Be a Party
to the Joint Agreement of the
Powers Representatives of Host
of the European Powers Do Not
Believe That a Resort to the Hague
Tribunal Will Be Acceptable to
Their Governments.
Dy i:-clusive Wire fiom Tlie Aoi ialed l'lci.
"Washington, June 10. The govern
ment has formally communicated to
the foreign powers the impossibility
of Joining in a Joint guarantee for the
payment of the Chinese indemnity.
Tlie difllculties in tlie way of such an
arrangement are set forth In the com
munication, particularly in making a
joint guarantee of this character.
In view of the determination of the
United States not to bo a party to a
joint guaranty there is anxiety shown
In diplomatic circles as to the outcome
on thej question of indemnities. One
view is that the majority of tho pow
ers, being favorable to u Joint guar
anty bill, will expect tills joint instru
ment and thereafter carry on a eon
cert of their own. In that event, it is
said, the Vnited Stales would arrange
directly with China as to the Ameri
can portion of the indemnity.
Tlie representatives of most of tlie
European powers don't, believe that a
resort to The Hague tribunal, as pro
posed by the United States, will be ac
ceptable to their governments.

Truesdiile, of the Lackawanna rall
load, being asked as to the truth of
the report from Scranton, Pa., that he
had resigned, states Unit there is ab
solutely notlilng in It: that It Is only
one of the many falsehoods that are
being circulated among tile company's
shop men now on strike by the leaders
of the strikers, for the purpose of nils
leading them, and to keep thorn lu igr
norunee of the real situation.
Jlr. Truesdays being also asked as
to the truth of tlie report from Scran
ton that the company Is about to make
a proposition to the striking employes
for a settlement of the questions at
issue, said:
"This report Is equally false. The
company jtas no proposition whatever
to make to its men. The cause ot the
strikers is lost and the leaders know It,
but for the purpose of bolstering up
the men they are circulating all sorts
of false information and reports
among them to discourage those of
them who want to return lo work from
doing so. The company's business
during the past month has been much
larger than during any similar month
in its history and its engines and cars
arc in condition to handle its largo
traffic promptly and to the entire
satisfaction of its patrons."

PATIENCE OF CONGRESS
The Cubans Believe That It May Be
Exhausted, and Intimate that the
Body Will Not Bo So Liberal Next
Time It May Take Over thelsland
as Incapable of Self-Government.
Possibility of President McKinloy
Dismissing; tho Convention.

"Washington, . tttio 10. --Tlie Cubans
wiio are sitting as delegates lu the
constitutional convention In Havana
have been urged by their own repre
sentatives in this country to accept
at once the I'lntt amendment and
make the conditions or that a part of
their constitution.' (lenernl I'.ihna and
other Cubans in the t'niled States who
have Kept lu touch with the govern
ment of the I'nitcd Slates since tlie
war with Spain was begun are illusi
ons Unit the Cubans shall have un op
portunity to organize tlielr own gov
ernment. They realize that the lerins
of the I'latt amendment are the best
that can be given. They understand
tlio spirit of congress better than do
the Cuban delegates In the constitu
tional convention, and they know that
should the convention reject the Piatt
amendment congress would not again
offer such liberal terms.
Patience of President.
The president and Secretary Itoot
have been patient with the delegates
who have been engaged lu constitution
making for the last six months with
out ,t result which Is satisfactory to
this government. Tho convention was
culled by order of the secretary ot war,
and he can dissolve It when satisfied
that its efforts will be fruitless. The
delegates are receiving puy for their
services, and while that money conies
out of the Cuban funds the United
States is responsible for the expendi
ture. When Secretary Hoot and the
president are satisfied that tlie con
vention has done all that It is possible
for It to do, they will adjourn it.
The Cubans in tills country who are
representing the island fear that the
time is near when the president will
advise (Jovernor Cieneral Wood to no
tify the convention Unit its sittings
are at an end and the delegates are no
longer authorized to discuss the rela
tions between Cuba and tho United
States.
General Falnin fears that when the
convention is adjourned tin? president
will not authorize another until con
gress takes up tlic (iiestlon. They
also believe Unit when congress does
that it will annex the Island on the
ground that It Is Incapable of organiz
ing Its own Independent government.
For those reasons the Cuban junta has
sent an urgent message In the dele
gates in tlio convention begging tlicni
to accept the Piatt amendment, and
warning them that there will not be
another opportunity for such a gov
ernment In llie near future.
