Harrisburg, Feb. 12. The last week
has been one of unsiial Interest In leg
islative matters. Many new bills have
been Introduced In the senate and the
house covering a variety of subjects,
and some of them, after being
referred to committee, will never again
see the light of day. But there are
many measures under consideration
that are of general Interest and which
it Is important to keep track of, that
legislators may know the sentiment of
their constituents. Tbis is a business
like legislature and with the regulars
in control of bota houses there is little
opportunity for the insurgents to fili
buster. THIS WEEK'S PROGRAM.
There will come up this week for fi
nal passage in the house bills establish
ing a departmentof forestry; providing
for the study of physical culture in the
public schools In first, second and
third class cities. If they so elect; au
thorizing borough councils to pay a
portion of the cost and expense of
grading, curbing and paving side
walks; regulating the manufacture of
flour and meal products; establishing
a division of horticulture and pomology
in the department of agriculture, and
giving cities and boroughs power and
authority to consent to the construc
tion of water works and the entry upon
the streets and highways within their
limits.
CONGRESSIONAL APPORTION
MENT. The congressional apportionment bill
has been introduced and referred to a
committee In the senate, which gives
Philadelphia two additional congress
men, one additional to Allegheny and
forms a fourth district from counties
taken from two of the western dis
tricts. There will be changes in the
districts before the bill is passed final
ly, as the whole matter will probably
be referred to a committee on confer
ence. ACHESON'S END HAS COME.
There is one reasonable certainty
and that is that Congressman Acheson,
who has been working with the in
surgents and Republican party wreck
ers, will be bowled out of a district.
The present plan Is to take away from
his district that portion of Allegheny
which gave him support from the Klinn
Insurgents and to form a new district
to be made up of Washington, which
Is Acheson's home county, and Beaver
and Lawrence, both strong stalwart
Bepubllcan counties. A fight has al
ready been started against Acheson's
control of the Republican organization
in Allegheny.
Among the bills passed finally In the
house last week were the following:
Validating all elections to vote upon
the question of Increasing the indebt
edness of municipalities: ratifying and
confirming legal documents acknowl
edged before George R. Bothwell, of
Allegheny; repealing the act of April
8. lSii2. for the protection of sheep In
Westmoreland and Armstrong coun
ties, and extending to these counties
the general laws for the taxation of
dogB and the protection of sheep; pro
Tiding that pupils may remain at the
soldiers' orphans' schools after attain
ing the age of 16 until the close of the
school year; repealing the act of July
8, 1895, regulating the affairs of school
districts and sub-school districts in
second class cities and to repeal local
and special laws Inconsistent there
with; to protect children and making
it a misdemeanor to place free or trial
samples of medicines. Ink. dyes, color
ing or polishing compounds In any
form where children can secure them.
The house committee on counties
and townships, by a vote of 19 to 1, Mr.
Haworth, of Luzerne, voting in the af
firmative, decided to report negatively
the bill to create a separate county out
of portions of Luzerne and Schuylkill
counties, with Hazleton as the county
seat.
EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY BILE.
An employers' liability bill which
greatly widens the scope of the present
act has been introduced in the house
by Mr. Jones, of Philadelphia. It is
modeled after the Massachusetts law
on the same subject. It provides that
any employe who may be Injured while
he is himself in the exercise of due care
and diligence at the time, by reason of
any defect of ways, works or machin
ery of his employer, which arose from
or had not ieen discovered or reme
died owing to the negligence of the em
ployer or any person in his service.
who had the duty of saying that the
ways, works or machinery were In
proper condition, or by reason of the
negligence of nny superintendent or
any person m charge, or control of any
sign, switch, locomotive, engine or
train, the employe or his representa
live. In caRe of death, shall have the
right of compensation and remedy
against the employer as If the employe
had not been employed or in the ser
vice of the employer.
Much attention is being given the
bill taxing foreign corporations. Few
defend It, and those in a position to
know say It would cripple some of the
largest corporations in Pittsburg. This.
together with several other corpora
tion measures Introduced, has been
favorably reported by the committee
on ways and means. The foreign cor
porations tax bill, it Is said, will either
be recommitted or killed on second
reading.
Representative Smyth, of Philadel
phia, desires the law providing for
compulsory vaccination in the public
school repealed.
NEW BANKING MEASI'RE.
A bill creating In the banking de
partment a bureau of building and loan
associations has been Introduced In the
house of representatives bv Mr. Cnl
flw. of Harrlshnr?. Th bill co-hps

annually. If any asssociatlon shall

ment In its assets, neglect to make

erg at Its home oilice to either deter
mine or scale the values of bhares to
uch an extent as to fully provide for

NEW YORK. Feb. H.-Rradstrect's
today says: Trade developments this
week, aside from those connected with
rumored combinations In great Indus
tries, of which it seems as yet too early
to speak authoritatively, have been in
the main favorable. Several lines of
trade and many staple prices show Ir
regularity, but this is probably no more
pronounced than usual at this season of
the year. The feature of the week In
distributive jobbing lines lift been the
growth of spring demand in the South
and Southwest, reflected In enlarged
sales of drygoods, boots sud shoes, cloth
ing and millinery at lending centers
there and in the Central West.
Better advices as to the outlook for
trade come from the Northwest utuT Pa
cific coast reports are no lesi eneourag
iim. Retail distribution of winter goods
reflects the stimulus afforded by winter
weather, but earlier quietness and per
hnps large stocks still carried are prob
ably responsible for the slowness of col
lections to Improve. Prices are still ir
regular, though not much lower as n
whole. Cleaiings undoubtedly reflect
speculation in the enormous totals re
ported, but the gains outside the metrop
olis, in the conntry-nt-lnrgo, indorse the
reports from a number of cities of a to
tal trade larger than a year ago.
Railway enrnii.gs likewise point to a
substantial gain over January a year
ago, which marked the highest point
reached up to that time in this branch
of industry.
The cereals are dull, Irregular and
rather lower on large Argentine ship
ments and liberal Northwest movements,
the supporting feature being the good ex
port inquiry developed at concessions.
The strength of sole leather is s fea
ture uoted at ninny markets. Buyers
are reported more willing to meet man
ufacturers' views as to prices. Lumber
lias logged anion? building material, but
is stiffening in price as the season of ac
tive operations approaches.
Demand for wool is only to cover man
ufacturers' sales, and some soft spots are
reported. Flain dress woolens are in
chief demand, and men's wear goods are
slow of sale.
Iron and steel have been rather quiet,
but sternly nnd even strong ns to price
with finished products, particularly struc
tural material in active inquiry. Imme
diate delivery of steel billets can only be
obtained at advances of 50 cents to $1.00
over the pool price. Bessemer pig iron
is strong and -" to fiO cents higher on
the week.
Wheat, including flour, shipments for
the week nggregatv 4.!I07,H13 bushels,
against 3,77r..l bushels last week, 2,
!rj,.'!'i7 bushels in the corresponding
week of I'.HKI, r.,7.S0,.-IK) bushels in lS'J'J

ALDERMEN'S WAGES.
Legislature KecointneDilad to Fix Tay Ao-
r irdlnx to t lty' Hating.
ALBANY, Feb. 12 Representative!
of the hoards of aldermen of Rochester,
Syracuse. Troy and Albany met in tli'u
city yesterday and recommended to th
stnte legislature several amendments tt
the uniform charter for cities of the sec
ond class. The principal amendment pro
vides that the members of the board ol
aldermen in each city of the second clnst
shall he salaried. In cities of l.'O.IKKI oi
more inhabitants the sa'aries shall not
be less than $750 or more than l.lK.
per year, mid in cities of less than 150.
OHO inhabitants, not less than .flioO oi
more than $750 per year; the exact
amount to lie fixed by the board of csti
mute and apportionment in each city.
Another important amendment providet
that a two-tliinls instead of a three
fourths vote siinll be necessary in tin
adoption by the coiinril of the annua
tux budget or resolutions appropriating
public money. Several minor amend
incuts are proposed including one mishit
from $50 to $250 the maximum nnioiint
the head of a city department may ex
pend for supplies without a contract.

night and will meet again today,

(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Feb. 12. Led by the
chamber of commerce nnd the board of
trade of the East Side, citizens of
Pittsburg are now engaged in a deter
mined struggle to relieve the govern
ment of that city of control by the
political machine of which Senator
William Flinn is the acknowledged
boss. Senator Flinn. ns leader of the
insurgent movement In state politics,
recently suffered defeat In the bitter
struggle to prevent the re-election of
Col. M. S. Quay to the I'nited States
senate. In his campaign against the
leaders of the Republican organization
Flinn made loud and frequent profes
sions of reform, and he aud his agents
went about the state posing as repre
sentatives of all that was good and
pure in politics.
CITIZENS ARE AROVSED.
Now that Flinn's neighbors have un
dertaken to deprive him of the polit
ical power which has been his main
source of revenue for years Flinn is
seen In a new light by the people of
the state.
There has been Introduced at Harris
burg a bill granting new charters to
Pittsburg, Allegheny tlty and Scran
ton. To satisfy the demands of citi
zens of Pittsburg, who wish an oppor
tunity to elect a mayor without Inter
ference or dictation from the 6.000 of
ficeholders and employes of contractors
In the Flinn combine, a provision has
been Introduced in this new charter
bill which Is known as the "ripper."
This bill provides that the governor
shnll appoint the first mayor tinder the
new charter, who shall hold office for
about a year, before the mayor to he
elected by the people shall be chosen.
This arrangement will prevent the
present Pittsburg ring from having
absolute control of the nomination and
election of the first charter mayor or
for the full term.
Ql'AY FOR REFORM.
Advocates of reform in Pittsburg
llnve appealed to Col. M. S. Quay and
other Republican leaders In the state
to help them secure the desired "rip
per" legislation. Last week Col. Quay
sent a telegram from Florida to Attor
ney General Elkin, In which he said:
"I am much improved In health nnd
Will go north within the next ten days.
''I want my friends to stand by me
and pass the charter bill, because the
people interested In good government
demand It. M. S. Ql'AY "
FLINN RULE EXPOSE!!.
There was an interesting session be
fore the senate committee on munici
pal affairs at Harrisburg when busi
ness men manufacturers and others
taom Pittsburg were heard in support
of the "ripper" bill. The only oppo
nents of the measure were officehold
ers or other beneficiaries undor tho
Flinn regime. One of the most nota
ble speeches before this committee was
made by Charles S. Crawford, a well
known citizen of Pittsburg and mem
ber of the East Side board of trade,
who reviewed the delegation present
to protest against the "ripper."
Among other things he said:
"The Individual testimony of the
Pittsburg councllmanic. committee, al
though relevant, should be given no
weight. A glance at the personnel of
that committee will be sufficient to
show to you the probable biasness of
their arguments. John A. Murphy Is
the law partner of Representative
George M. Hosack, whose close af
filiations with the insurgent leader is
known by every person present. W.
H. McCleary has for a long time been
closely connected with the political
leader and is an ex-sheriff. John Up
permnn presented to councils last June
the resolution which ousted the direc
tor of public works. John Benz has
been closely connected with all legis
lation proposed and instigated by the
Insurgent boss. George S. r leming is
widely known as a close adherent to
any principles advanced by the insur
gent leader. W. A. Magee is a brother
of the Hon. C. A. Magee. And I might
here add that it has been the feeling
of a great many people In Pittsburg
that, had it not been for the unfor
tunate nnd severe bodily illness of
Hon. C. A. Magee for the past three
years, the caur.es and complaints that
have given rise to the 'ripper' bill
would not have had this culmination.
"Kirk Q. Bingham is the member of
common council wno a few years ago
attempted to saddle upon the city a
hillside in the Thirty-second ward for
park purposes, having been turned
down through the Intervention of Hon.
John J. Sweeney and others. Mr. Bing
ham within the past year has endeav
ored, after laying out a part of the
property In lots and cutting a tier of
lots from the whole, to saddle on the
city the remaining portion o" the prop
erty at the enormous price of $32,0o0,
when in reality the property would
hardly sell for $15,000.
"Of Mr. Semmelrock and Mr. Splaln
but little can be said, except that they
are known to be closely allied with in
surgent movements.
PITTSBURG'S BAD GOVERNMENT.
"I have 'no delicacy in telling you
that the government of Pittsburg is
needlessly expensive and generally
condemned. It Is inefficient and its
methods bring the worst voters to the
polls and largely repel the most wor
thy. Our city government for the past
ten years has been so administered as
to be generally regarded as discredit
able to an American citizen and a
scandal to our republican system. Our
municipal affairs have been so largely
controlled by one man for his personal
aggrandizement that unselfish devotion
to public Interests is discouraged, and
very few men have the heart or cour
age to oppoFe the selfish ruler.
"Under our present form of govern
ment official malfeasance Is a common
offense, and our people nre familiar
with official connivance In the matter
of the purchase of real estate for pub
lic improvements. The present admin
istration and the controlling power
back of It have made and developed a
demoralization and corruption In pol
itics which the persistent efforts of
the most unselfish partlotlc citizens
have not been able to hold In check;
it has made the management of mu
nicipal politics and elections a degrad
ing business by which a class of life
less and vicious politicians prosper.
and last, but not least, It has developed
to an alarming degree a degrading and
corrupt system of boss rul".
WHAT THE "RIPPER" WILL DO.
"The primary object of this "ripper"
bill is that of making it. possible fur
good men, unselfish men, men not af
filiated with local politics, men not
connected with city contract work, to
be advanced to our municipal offices.
From our past and present experience
we know that our future exponent
will onlv be a repetition of the p.ust i
and present If this charter is not pass- i
ed with the 'ripper' appendage. !
"I have alwavs been e ntnusiusiicaiiy
opposed to any kind of harsh treat
ment; I have always advocated a fair
trial and fair play. I say to you. with
out fear of contradiction, that the pres
ent administration and the gigantic
boss behind it have had more than
ample time and resources to establish
in our city a "people's government,
made for the people, made by the peo
ple and answerable to the people." And
what has been the result of their pro
longed trial? To what purposes have
time and resources been nnulied?
We have worse than a ring ridden city.
The name of Pittsburg, so dear to the
hearts of Its citizens. Is all but taken
from us. Politically speaking, our city
is the capital of the insurgents and
boxers, and may be appropriately
called Rlngtown. The government is
the boss' government, made by the
boss, made for the boss and answer
able only to the boss. The eople have
not been given the slightest consider
ation. The wants and needs of the
people have been totally disregarded,
except in Instances of personal gain for
the boss. Every effort of the people
for fairness In ieglslatlon Is promptly
met by the boss with the expression.
"1 am In this for business, you from
principle.' And business always pre
vails." "We not only want the fundamental
law changed." said former Postmaster
J. B. Larkin. "but we appeal to you to
change the people who execute the law.
The taxable valuation of real estate In
Pittsburg has Increased from $S7,000,
000 In 1S0 to $:t00,000 000 In 1901. The
organization' was only In Its Infancy
In 1890, and for eight years Increased
the valuations gradually, but under
the charter now In force it has inflated
real estate values $152,000,000. the in
crease In 12 years being 211 per cent,
although the increase In population
was only about 100 per cent. The to
tal warrants Issued In the 12 years
was I79.359.4P2. From 1k94 to 1S97
warrants were ordered drawn to tho
amount of $;'2.34S.OOO. The bonded
debt has been Increased $2,321,675.
"The people want an ouster to restore
the government to them. This would
not be revolutionary. The organiza
tion names every official a month be
fore vacancies occur. The kind of gov
ernment It gives Is a fine, that you
cannot too quickly relieve ti e people
of, bearing in oiind the f.c! tht v hen
the organisation desires to ren.ive or
get rid of any feature or ne-i'-er of
the government it acts Instantly and
without bearing, trlil or sentiment."
