It was up on aecond reading, was fought all day, and the motion to postpone carried by but one vote —98 to 92. Joe Sibley with his |6OO a day income his fancy clothes and tireless tongue, was catting quite P. shiue in his parlors in the Bolton; and Jim Gnffy was also there wanting the Independent Repub licans to unite on one man. Friday's vote was 78, (M), 15, 5, 5, etc. 180 in all. and ynay IN short -"The vil lian still pursued" hin\ but his fiiend Sibley was yet there talking and schem ing for him. A Beaver meuil*T who voted against the McCarrel bill received • A thousand all written in Harrihburg. Monday the ballot was 12. 5. 1. There were four senators present that morning at the hour set for the senate to be called to order. The senators were Cnmmings, Washburn, McCarrel and Meridith. There were no clerks present and after the chaplain had pray ed for the four senators and five page boys the reading of the journal of Sat urday was dispensed with for the rea son that there was no journal at hand. The Senate at once took a itress un til noon, when it went to the Hons* to ballot for United States senator. Senator Meredith arrived from Wash ington Sunilay night,, where be met Senator Quay. He said he found CJuay In bis dining gown reading a novel and that he was exceedingly hopefnl, "Does Quay think he will lie elected. 7 ■wasawked Senator Meredith "You bet he does," was the emphatic response. On Monday but 18 members were present at the joint sesssion. The »aij roads were snowbound and anxions members were wiring from all direc tions. During lhe day but one train came in from the West but that night two Western trains that had passed ov er the ridge came in, but they were Hj hours late. But thirty members attend ed the night session of the House. On Tuesday but 20 members were present at the joint session, on account of Hie snow blockade. In the House that day Mr Moor.-of Untler offered a bill to prevent the see ond-hand use of jnrs for eatables, also a bill to prevent the spread of pernicious weeds, such as wild carrots, ox eyed daisies, wild parsnips, eet. But 55 members were present *i the joint session yesterday no quorum, and the reconsideration of the McCar rel bill was defeated in the house by a yofe of HH to 85.

TUT: TRI E KTORV ' What was tho most interesting and important of all the events that occur red during the battle of Manila bayT "This question has teen pnt to me so often since my retnm from the Philip pines that I am glad to be at liberty— now that peace is assured to answer it without risk of giving aid and comfort to the enemy, says Joseph L. Stickney in Harper's Monthly for February. "It has always been assumed in the United States that, from start to finish, there was nothing felt on our side ex cept a boyant certainty of victor}*. It will do no harm now to tell the real facts. •It will be remembered that the bat tle began at six minutes past o'clock on the morning of May 1; the O)mmo dore inow Rear Admiral) Dewy led the line of American warships into action in his flagship Olympia: that, after a fierce fight lasting two hours and a half the attacking fleet retired from the battle itfto the cenlre of Manila bay, and did not renew the attack until near ly four hoars later. ' When we hauled off from the tight ing line, at 786 o'clock, the situation had become apparently serious for Com modore Dewey. We had been fighting a determined and courageous enemy for more than two hours without haying noticeably diminished the volume of his fire It is true at k-a.it three of his ships had broken into flames, but so had one of ours the Boston. These fire had all been put out without apparent injury to the ships. Generally speaking nothing of great inportance had occur ed to show that we had seriously injur ed any Spanish vessel. They were all steaming about in the bight l»ai.k of Sangley point, or in Bakor bay, as ac tively as when we first sighted them in the early dawn. So far. therefore, we could see nothing indicating that the enemy was less able to defend his posi tion than he had Let-n at the beginning. On the other hand, our condition was greatly altered for the worse. There remained in the magazines of the Olympia only 85 rounds of 5-inch am munition, and though the stock of s inch charges was not proportionately depleted, it was reduced enough to make the continuance of the battle for another two hours impossible, When it is reinbembered that Commodore Dewey was more than 7,000 miles from a home port and that under the most favorable conditions a supply of am munition could not be obtained in less than a month, the outlook was far from being satisfactory. The commodore knew that the Spaniards had jnat re ceived an ample supply of ammunition in the transport Mindadao, so that there was no hope of exhausting thier fight in" power by an action lasting twice as long. If we should run short of powder and shell, we might liecome the hunted instead of the hunters. I do not exaggerate in the least wucn I say that as we hauled off into the bay, the gloom on the bridge of the Olympia was thicker than a London fog in November. Neither Commodore Dewey nor any of his staff believed that the Spanish ships hail beep suffici ently injured by our fire to prevent them from renewing the battle quite as furiously as they had previously fought. Indeed, wo had all been distinctly dis appointed in ths results of our fire. Our projectiles seemed to go too high or too low just as had been the cas«} with those fired at us by the Spaniards. Sev eral times the commodore had expressed dissatisfaction with the failure of our gunners to hit the enemy. We had be gun the firing a) too great a distance, but we had gradually worked in further on each of the turns, until wu were within about 2,500 yards at the close of the fifth round. At that distance, in a smooth sea, we could judge we had not sensibly crip, pled the foe. Consequently, Commo dore Dewey hauled out ipto the open bay at the end of the fifth roynft to take stock of ammunition and devise a new plan of attack. As J went aft the men asked me what we were hauling off for. They were in a distinctly different humor from that which prevailed on the briug" They believed that they had done well, and that the other ships had done like wise The Olympia cheered the Balti more, and th.' Baltimore returned the 1 ?jt¥ffiTwmMiotliV r uff dissati»liwl with the results of their work Whether they had a lietter knowledge of the ac curacy of their aim than we had on the bridge, or whether they took it for granted that the enemy must have stir ft red severely after so much fighting, I do not know at any rate, they were eager to go on with the battle, and were confident of victory. I told owe of them that we were merely hauling oft for breakfast, which statement elected the appeal to Capt. Lamberton, as be came past a moment later: "For God's sake, captain, don't let us stop now To boll with breakfast: When I told thfs commodoie that 1 intended to attribute our withdrawal to the need for breakfast, he intimated that it was not a matter of so much itn portance what reason 1 gave so long as I did not give the true one. And as the break fast episode went to the world as a plausible excuse foj* '.vljat, seemed like an extraordinary stragetic ma numver one which has been the sub ject of more comment than almost any other event during the battle. Many people have said to me that it would be a oity to spoil so good a story by telling the truth; l«!t, ai the commodore will be sure to lot the cat out ;<f the ba;r some day, I may as well let her have her freedom now. Of course, we learned the truth about the effect of our fire when we siw, soon afterward, the Haines rising from the Heina CVwtina and the Castilla, and heard the cyplosion of tUpit UTumuni tion and the former s loagaxipe.

THE WAR IN MANILA. On Thursday everything was quiet in Manila, lmt the Phiiippinos were con cenxrating for another attack. The official account of the battles showed 53 Americans killed, and 200 wounded On Monday our troops under Gen. Miller took possession of Iloilo, the chief town and seaport of the island of Panay. Our gunboats first shelled the place" and then the troops landed and took possession, with no casualties. largest Cheek on Record The largest check on the records of Pittsbnrg business transactions will go through the Clearing house to-day. The figures upon its free will entitle the holder to *4.000,000.00 and it is drawn by Moore A: Schlej-. the syndi cate managers of the Brewing company. The chesk is signed by Moore & Schley, and is drawn on their New \ ork office. It is made payable to the order ot the Fidelitv Title and Trust company. The check is a record-braker in the historv of the Clearing house, exceeding eyen the great government check for over $3,000,000 in the Monongahela Navigation conipanv deal which creat ed a record in I«>7. Incidentally the valnable bit of paper will give Pitts burg prominence in the financial worl<l. inasmuch as it will send this city away up in Dun's list of clearing house tran sactions in various cities, issued week lv.

Mis* Jennie Neely made a success in her recitation of "C urfew Must not Ring To-Night. Prof .1 Mcßride had charge of the question box, which was very interesting, but we noticed that the Professor gave the difficult questions others and an swered only the easy ones himself. This was voted by all to be a most delightful and profitable Institute. Praise must be given to Prof. Pollock for the arrangement of this most excell ent programme and to Mrs. Kearns and the Downievilb Qt-prfette, and also to the school, for their deliijiivful music, both yocal and instrumental.
