JONES, W Bntlfcr - HARRIS HL'RO. f Thursday's vote was IW>, 74. 17, 7. etc. * m in all and 110 necessary to an elec tion. Three members of the Honse and two newspaper men were ready to testi fy before the bribery committee but were refused a hearing by the Quay members. Sibley was ill at his hotel; the Magee jury bill was laid aside; Quay and Gov. Htone called npon Sibley and then Quay went to Washington. On Friday Gov. Htono tendered the vacant Supreme Judgeship to D. T. Watson of Pittsburg, Democrat. Friday was a great day in the House, Gen. Koontz's determination to appeal to the House regarding the actions of the Bribery Investigating committee in re fusing to hear evidence caused tbe (jtuy men to resort to filibustering and gag rule. Speaker Farr adjourned the House at 11 A M against the will of the majority present; a rjw followed, Farr left his seat and Ward Bliss was selected to take his place, and a com mittee appointed to see what can be done with Farr. After railing the House to order at 11:50 Farr again left his seat, and was followed to the door and cursed and hissed At noon both houses assembled to vote for Senator, and Quay lost three votes- two from Phil'a and OIJP from Lackawanna. The vote stood Quay 04, Jcnks 55,-Dalzell 18. Stewart 7, Huff 8, etc., 168 in all and Quay 18 short. The three men gave their reasons for chang ing their votes, and were cheered by the Independents. At Monday evening's session Gen. Koontz introduced his resolution en larging the investigating committee by four members, and made a rattling speech in support of it. Chairman Kreps, of the Investigating i Committee, undertook to defend the course of the majority who tried to de lay the examination. He claimed that Gen. Koontz refnsed to go on at the meeting on Friday. This provoked tlie General to say; "1 will tell the truth. The Chairman of that Committee came to me with trembling hands and said: 'See, I am sick. Won't von wait.'and then Mr. Voohees pleaded the illness of his wife." This was more than the Quayites could stand, and Frank McClain. of Lancaster, came to their rescue, and in a very politic speech hoped the discus sion would cease and that no Assembly man wonld stand in the way of a free and open investigation. The substance of the resolution offered by Gen. Koontz and passed was that a majority refused to hear the testimony. He proponed j that Messrs Dixon, Fow, Rendell and Young Is- added. Kreps, in an indiscreet amendment, moved that the committee be discharg ed and the House !*• named as a com mittee of the whole to prosecute tae in vestigation. He declared he presented bis amendment in g'xsi faith and not as a joke <ien Koontz then proceeded to pulverize Kreps Mr Koontz's resolution calls for the appointment of four additional mem bers of the committee to investigate the charges of bribery in connection with the passage of the McCarrell jury bill in the House The resolution, recite that on February 34, JW, Messrs Krejmof Franklin, Koontz of Somerset, Voorhees of Philadelphia, Tighe of Lu zerne and Skinner of Fulton, were "ap pointed a committee to Investigate cer tain newspaper charges and rumore (<f ali*ged bribery or attempted bribery of members of the House; that the Com mittee organized March 1 by the ap pointment of Mr. Kreps Chairman ami Mr. Voorhees Secretary, and agaeed to meet on March 2 to hear testimony: that the committee issued a subpoena to the Sergeant at-Arias to summon five witnesses to appear before the commit tee and that they were present ami ready to testify. The resolutions further recite that a majority of the said committee refused to hear the testimony of said witnesses and by resolutions, adopted by a major ity of tbe committee against the pro test of the minority, refused to preform the duty imposed upon it by the House and decided that it wonld not act as an investigation committee, but as a judi cial body; that it wonld not inquire into or investigate the charges and rumors set forth in the resolution under which the committee was appointed,and would only try persons who might lie specifi cally accused aud would only act upon such accusations when both the accused and accuser were present, thereby ren dering the investigation impossible The resolution provides that Messers. Robert K. Young, of Tioga . Randall, of Chester (Reps.) Dixon, of Elk, and Fow, of Philadelphia <Dems.)"are hereby ap pointed additional members of the com mittee, with instructions to proceed to hear such testimony as may be offered pursuant to said resolutions." Gen. Koontz, speaking ot his resolu tion, referred to the speeches of Kreps and Voorhees on the floor of the House. Kreps denounced tbe anti-Qnayites as a gang of cut throats and declared they had filled the Academy of Music in Phil adelphia by an appeal to the galleries. Voorhees had spoken of committees as whitewashing, Kreps objected that the ' General was telling matters that hap penen in committee The resolution was passed, the Quay people were denonnced and rumors of Quays withdrawal in favor of Col. Huff of Greensburg were current, but John Dalzell was the most talked about. During the day the proceedings in the legislative record recounting what oc curred at the session on Friday after Speaker Farr adjourned the Honse were reinoved.it is said from tbe files of mem bers by order of the Sergeant-at-Arms. A rumpus was kicked up that evening and the members were surpris ed to find this portion of the record re stored on their desks. Threats were made-to remove theSer geant-at-Arms He will hardly escape a rebuke. Of course all this did not oc cur without a struggle and an exciting debate, the like of which probably ha not been equaled in the House for years. Speaker Farr was very humble, will ing to be good if the opposition would forgive him For the present he was not disturbed. If this were not enough for one night, Captain Hanson moved to discharge the Public Buildings Committee from fui ther consideration of his capital bill. It was done. Saturday's vote was light, and Quay had 18 and Jenks 9, and Monday's was still lighter, bnt 19 in all. Tuesday's ballot was 101, 77, 17, 8, 8, f>, etc., 231 in all and Quay 1"# short That evening, at a meeting of the majority of the members of the House resolutions condemming the actions of Sjieaker Farr were adopted, but as Mr. Farr was very meek and promised to be go»d, he was not deposed. Some bills were passed on third reading, and among them one increasing the mini mum school-term to seven months. Tlic Bribery Committee. The new Bribery Committee inei that evening and listened to some sen sational evidence. Two members of tne House, Repre sentees John Engler, of Lycoming, and Peter S. Criste, of Milton, testified that they had been offered money to vote for McCarrell bill and again to make the motion to reconsider the vote by which it was postponed to March 21. All the members of the committee were on hand except Michael J. Tighe, who complained of being ill. The would-be bribers were ex Senator John •J. (»ylu of Schuylkill; Michael J. Costello and ex Representative Thomas Moyles, of Luzerne. At the conclusion of the hearing Representative Voorhees made an offer that the accused be al lowed to appear, represented by counsel. Chairman Fow ruled that tbe committee was not a trial court, and the produc tion of the accused would impugn the integrity of members of the House who had sworn under oath. It was nip and tuck between the fac tions. The Judiciary General Commit tee room was crowded with members and visitors. Tho committee adjourned to meet next evening to hear Rcpresen tative Smith. Chairman Kreps resigned, first, because he thought the new mem bers should have a voice in the selec tion of a Chairman, and second, l>e cause his health is bad . and, as certain questions m*y n»iw, !,ii'.yjiich his deci sion might not give satisfaction, he would retire. His statement was final. The other members protested, but Kreps was determined his resignation should bo accepted. 'John Fow wa < then elected Chairman. Mr- Dixon next moved that the rules adopted by the former committee should l<e abol inhed. It was carried. Oeorge McCain was the first witness called. Chair man Fow was jpft-rrogator in chief. McC'atn had heard rumors of corrupt solicitation in connection with the re consideration of the McCarrell bill. Representative Crinte, of Northuinber land, was one of the memls-rs he had interviewed. On February 15 Mr. t'riste said he was invited into the corridor by a cer tain man who said to him it was worth SI,OOO to him if he would move to re consider tUo vote to postpone. The man said: "You can give H* yuuf ex ense that it is done for an old friend, an ex member of the House, who is un der indictment." Later Mr. Criste admitted that the would be teuiptev warn ex-Representa tive Thomas Moyles, a Wslk*nbarre book agent. Moyles said later that it would help him in his case. He is nn der indictment for conspiracy in con iiectioii with a School Hoard matter. Crist'- asked Moyles to write out for him what he wanted him U, say in making the motion He was prepai ing to do this when the last day for re consideration passed. There was no of cash no far as McCain knew. John I* Dwyer <vaH the next witness. He is a newspaper uttm. ll>, Identified an article npon brils-ry that he had written. Representative John Engler, of Lycoming, was another man ap proached, he £»id A man told Dwyer of the efforts to corrupt -tout. J->igler He went to Engler and asked him "bout it Engler SV»IB loath to tulk, but finally eon ;nled if hij» niiu.f. ',V""'d not Is- us ed. Engler nilid that Mltbfl'-'l •' ' telloasked him to go to ili'.' l/ochlel Hotel. Engler went aud was intiuflo'" 'ed to ex-Senator John J. Coyle, of : Schuylkill. Coyle said he understood Engler wa.« a Catholic and that Archbishop Ryan was interested in the passage of the Mc- Carrel bill. Coyle said if he would move to reconsider he would give hiiu SSOO, and he made a motion to take the money out of his vest pocket. He offer ed 1200, and the other *BOO would be I paid later. Coyle said he was in the habit of doing such things when in the Legislature and he would let him in on other bills. In that way he could make more money than his salary. This caused a general laugh. A few ' davs afterward Costello went to Engler s i home in Lycoming, driving into the | country in a sleigh. He again offered Engler SSOO to make the motion, but Engler refused. Costello then departed, j saying he was going to see Representa tive Osier. Engler's family was pre | ent when Costello called. The latter I took Engler aside, remarking that he j had something private to say to him. ! Nobody was present at the meeting so ! far as the witness knew. He learned where Costello hired the sleigh. It was from Askew's livery. Representative Voorhees asked if Dwyer had not talked to Costello and suggested how he could make a bunch of money To this Dyer replied that Costello and he had met. Dwyer re marked that he knew all aliout this visit to Engler. and some arrests would like ly l>e made Costello said: "My God. lam not to be arrested." Costello then said he would like to see Senator Coch ran. He said he was close to the Quay people and could tell him of a move ment they intended to make. Representative Engler was the third witness. Costello met him at the Bol ton Hotel with the remark "Yon are the man lam looking for." He went to the Lochiel on Costello s invitation, and was introduced to ex-Senator Coyle. He had never seen Coyle before. Coyle asked hirn what he thought of the Ms- Carre) 1 bill. Enger answered that the bill was not so bad, but the circum stances were not favorable to its pas sage. T , "Ah. well' 'Coyle replied, "I used to be around the legislature, and I took everything that came along " He men tioned other men and added: "See. these fellows have money, and are now at the top of the heap Coyle offered him S2OO to vote to reconsider the bill and put his hand in his pocket. He said there would be five or six mor; bills that he could make money on. He added that Archbishop Ryran wanted the bill for the benefit of laboring men. "Costello afterward called at his ! house anil said he was authorized to of fer him >-.>« to make the motion to re consider. Costello said the Society of Philadelphia was raising the money Engler declined to do it. Costello did not tender him the $5<K). Costello was at his home on Snnday of the great storm. Kreps asked if Coyle pulled anything out of his pocket. He did not but he was under the impression that Coyle intended to hand him the money. John Fow created a laugh by saying: "Coyle was never known to take any thing out of his pocket." Representative Peter J. Criste was the next witness. Thomas Movies came to him on the day the McCarrel bill was postponed. Moylea invited him out to smoke. Moyles asked him what he thought of the McCarrel bill. (;ontinuing Christe said: "Moyles told me Senator Coyle had been talking to him about me and Coyle said. 'Criste is all right ' Moyles said if I voted for the bill there was three in it for me What he meant by three I do not know. I then returned to the House and voted against the McCarrell bill. "Later Moyles came to me and said he was under indictment and wanted the bill passed to help bjm While we were talking, Senator Coyle came up and leaned between us Coyle said 'Yon vote for the bill and leave the rest to me.' Afterward Movies called me out of the House and told me if I wonld make the motion to reconsider there wonld be ft 1,000 in it for me. He said I could explain that 1 did it for a friend under indictment. He talked so much that I told him to write it out. When I voted against the hill Coyle came to me and said I was foolish. "Those f' llows over there are well taken care 'if,' he said, pointing in the direction of the insurgents." This produced great laughter in the crowd. Since the corrupt offer was made he saw Moyles at his boarding house, but Moyles did not speak. Yesterday's vote was 105, 81. 17, '■>. 8, 5. ect, 242 in all and Quay 17 short. When the name of ('apt. Bare, ,<f Huntingdon, was called, that gentle men arose and said "I think it is about time this farce, that has gone on for some time, should be etopjied. I think we should get together and elect a Republican. Today I will vote for M. S Quay." Bare served notice on the Quayites that he wonld not supi»ort Quay after today. He paid it. is time tnat the old man should get out of the fight and let the Republicans ehoo a man who could be elected. Fate seems to have ordained that Frank Leech and "Bill" Andrew will have to go to work. For years they have lived by engineering the Quay machine When Senator Flinn started into the present revolution he met Andrews and Leech at the Capitol, and Andrews asked Flinn why lie was going out of his way to fight the "old man." "I am determined to put you and Leech to work," answered Minn, and from that day until today Flinn says the only two things involved are to put Quay out of the Senate and make An drews and Leech go to work The Quayites no longer boast that they will tnrn the senatorial trick next week. Their only statement now is that thty will deadlock the Legislature and Stone will appoint Quay, No one seriously believe* that Quay will be ad mitted as a member of the Senate, but there is no one who will dispute the statement that Wtonw will appoint him if Quay wants to be appointed. At the session of the Bribery Com mittee that night, right, from the mouths of members came iucrimina lion upon incrimination IIJIOII the head of ex-Senator Coyle. Democratic Rop resentative Charles II Spat/., whose leaning's tovurd the Quay dde were jokingly regarded since the s< -c.ion be gan, was also brought into an unenyi able position.

On Thursday the House refused by a vote of 77 to 140 to consider the re port unseating certain Congressmen for accepting commissions in the army, a hilf-million dollars was appropriated for the Buffalo Expo.; the armor-plate bill was in conference committee. When the Senate convened at 11 o'clock Friday morning it faced the task of considering two of the great ap propriation bills, those for the army and for supplying the general defici encies. The former carries appropria tions exceeding $*0,000,000. and the latter about #20,000,000. With a de termination to complete the appropria tion bills, the Senate began immediate ly at 11 o'clock in the morning to con sider these measures, and at 8 o'clock that night the army bill was passed, the deficiency bill having been passed near ly three hoars before. A partial report on the sundry civil appropriation bill was agreed to. but the inability of the Senate conferees to secure an agree ment on the Hawaiian cable proposition created a heated discussion, in the course of which Speaker Reed was al luded to in uncomplimentary terms. The Toledo exposition bill carrying an appropriation of $500,000 was passed without debate. At 3a. m. the Senate re-committed the river and harbor bill to the conference committee. The refusal of the House conferees to yield on the Hawaiian cable was dis cussed at length. Mr. Bntler (North Carolina) spoke in support of the Senate conferees and was followed by Mr. Chandler, who expressed the hope that the Senate conferees would adhere to the Senate's proposition, even if an extra session were thereby forced. "There are some things, he said, "worse than an extra session of Con- At times the House was like Bedlam, on Friday, pound as the Speaker wonld with his gravel it was almost impossible to preserve order, and to the casual visitor in the gallery the proceedings on the floor rnnst have been about as in telligible as an exciting day in the wheat pit wonld be to a parish priest. The noise and confusion on the floor, punctuated with the constant banging of the Speaker's gavel or back grounded with the droning voice of the clerk; irate members facing each other and talking at the rarae time, pages scurry ing up and down the aisles all this was utterly distracting. But the people in the galleries stayed on and there were a dozen persons in line in the corridors waiting for every vacant seat, so great is the attraction of a dying Congress. The big questions in dispute between the two Houses being naturally the last to be adjusted were postponed far into the night. From time to time short recesses were taken. These were simply breathing spells, however, and soon the leaders were at it again harder than During the day the President nomi nated and the Senate confirmed George Dewey, for Admiral of the Navy. Hiul of tin; otfth Congress. Saturday morning dawned with the Senate in executive session disposing of a large number of nominations. When the doors were opened to the public there were seen but a handful of tired and haggered looking senators who were waiting for the final reports from the cqnferrees 011 this two bills yet in dispute. Finally Mr. Hale appeared with both. The deficieucv bill was quickly passed and then came the final and closing fight on the naval bill and the price of armor plate and for an armor plate factory. This was finally over and the weary senators took a short recess. Upon reassembling the senate took nn a new appearance. The chamber hail 1 >«•*• n cleaned np and the Hen a torn came back to the clotting meeting with a more spruce appearance. Home few attempts at legislation were made, but all were unsuccessful. Then the galleries filled with gaily dressed visitors who wtre there to see the final ceremonies They were not long permitted to enjoy themselves as an executive session drove them into the corridors where they patiently waited for the doors to be opened. When this was done only five minutes regained of the congress, bnt the hands of the clock were turned hack ten minutes to give time for the usual com plimentary resolution and the address of the Vice President. President McKinley and hiH entire cabinet had come to the capitol ami were in t Vk- President's room back of the HI -nte chamber, where the various biiin were hurried for signaturon. Kin ally tin; last big appropriation bill had received the President's approval and everything wan it.ady for thii ciose. The resolution thanking Vice IVmidont, Hobart and President Pro Tem. Frye were adopted, the Viet) president re spondiug in an appropriate address and the scssioi of tlr> senate, which had ben in JI turm >il for neveral days, quietly caine to an end We.irily the huise s;*t through the silent watches of the night, recessing from time to time while awaiting con feience reports upm the appropriation bill' The lloor of the house wa j litter ed wit.ti wnste papers which drifted ankle deep iilciut t)ie desks and m tde the hall look as if It, had been swept by a HIIOW storm. Still the weary and heavy eyed legislators kept to th< ir posts through the niglit The leaders upon whom the strain and burden of the cloning hours fell most heavily, and the speaker who had the greatest responsibility of all re malm d constantly in their places watch ing vigilantly tie progress of tiie con tests between the two houses The tiniil agreement on tbe r|vci- Mil harbor bill font lining the compromise on the Nicaragua canal was scoured about <1:30 A.

About 7 o'clock Mr Henderson arons the house by an ol&ctiio speech tt WHS one f.t the most eloquent of this cs.n gross The nnrronndings ndded lin presslvene 'M to his utterances The dis beveled members and the wreckage of tbe night wore about him It was on the onrstton of s-omtinii institutions in the District of Columbia, provlsloh for which had been stricken out of the dis trict appropriation bill by the bill. W'th force and pathos he denounced the bigotry of the conferred, who. he said, were willing at the behest of a secret organization, which did its work in the dark, to turn the homeless and friend less into the streets. The scene was dramatic in the extreme when Mr. Henderson recalled the dark days of the war when the white-capped Sisters of Mercey were ministering on the battle field to the stricken and dying soldiers. , With the advent of the day the house ; began again to take on the appearance ;of life. Members went l>elow for baths and breakfast and returned refreshed to their stations. As early at 7:30 the people began to pour into the galleries, the first party to arrive l>eing a dozen ladies who took their places in the pub lic galleries. The important business of the house had been virtually completed when the houre recessed for an hour at 9:30. All that remained was the en rollment of bills and the final ceremo nies. At 10:30 when the house reconvened, the galleries were again packed to the doors and the hall buzzed with the con fused murmur of myriads of voices. An American flag had l»een lowered from the press gallery above the speak er's chair. The closing scenes in the house were of more than nsual interest. After all the bills had been passed there follow ed the usual resolutions. That offered by Mr. Bailey, thanking Sjieaker Reed and the remarks of the minority leader were of a character to lend a dramatic turn to the proceedings. The action of the house and the speaker's reply aroused the house and spectators to en thusiasm. After adjournment mem bers and visitors joined in singing pa triotic airs. Pittsburg fared pretty well in the way of appropriations by the congress just closed, due to the efforts of Rep Dalzell The three rivers Allegheny, Monon gahela and Ohio—secured oyer $2,500,- 000, as follows: Pittsburg harbor, $110,602.00; Monongahela river. $185,- 556; Allegheny river, $15,000; Ohio riv er, $2,085,000. Of course the amount approoriated for the latter stream will not all be used at Pittsburg, but every dollar spent will result beneficially to the interests of the city. The appropri ation for Erie harbor is $125,000. This also adds to the business of Pittsburg. Botii the senate and house agreed to all the appropriation bills. At 10;80 A. M., each resumed sessions after a re cess. The necessary business in the way of messages between the houses and the signing of enrolled bills was then taken up. The Pacific cable amendment failed. In the naval appropriation bill the house won all its amendments for in crease of the navy and the senate amendment-reducing the price of armor plate to S3OO preyailed. The senate amendment for an armor plate factory was eliminated from the bill. The Congress just adjourned appro priated in all $1,566,890. The cost of the war was $482,362,085. On Saturday the President nominated and the Senate confirmed Wm. li. Merriam of Minnesota to be Director of the Census of 1900 at $6,000 a year, and Congress aypropriated a million for him to start on. Ki\ Senatorial Vacancies.

I Si!»!«»\ the I .oca I lto>s. (From Sunday's Dispatch.) In return for his efforts to throw Democratic votes to Mr Quay at Har ris'iurg ,!o-eph Sibley has been recogn:z e 1 a-i the arbiter of patronage in Venan go county. This will probably lie de nied by Quay an 1 his friends, but the allegations are borne out by the follow ing long distance telephone message: "McKim's confirmation cannot be made without Sibley s permission." This declaration was made last Thurs day by Colonel, now ex-Senator, Quay, in response to a telephonic plea from a Venango county man, as quoted by the latter, that William M. McKim be con firmed as Postmaster at Oil City. The contest over this Postinastership, and the part it played in the defeat of Charles W. Stone in the Twenty-seventh district, is familiar history in that lo cality,but it is now of State and nation al significance. The deal by which Mr. Sibley defeated Mr. Stone is now known and is proven by the failure of the Pennsylvania Senators to have Post master McKim's nomination confirmed. John R. Robertson, Chairman of the Venango Connty Republican Commit tee, and ex-Representatiye Fred W. Hays, of Oil City, have been in Wash ington for several days past endeavoring to secure the confirmation of McKim; but when Congress died yesterday with out action their indignation reached the boiling point. They were convinced when they came here that Senator Quay had entered into an understand ing with Mr. Sibley, and that for ser vices to be rendered by the latter in the Senatorial contest at Ilarrisburg, Mr. Quay was to prevent Mr. McKim being confirmed as the Oil City Postmaster, a consummation devoutjy wished by W. H. Longwell, who had been a contest ant for the office, and in revenge for de feat, it is alleged, had done active work for Sibley in the Congressional fight. Senator Penrose is the Pennsylvania member of the Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads, which has to do with the nominations of Postmasters. Be fore he was thoroughly advised of all of Quay's deals in Mr Stone's district he had promised Mr. Stone and Chair man Robertson that Mr. McKim would be confirmed. This promise was made as absolutely as possible. MANILA. On Friday Dewey asked the depart ment for some small craft for use iu the rivers. Six more regiments were order ed to Manila. This week there has been skirmishing all along the American lines, and sever soldiers were wounded. One and a Half Billions. Under the "leave to print" granted to members of the House Committee ou Appropriations in the last hours of Congress, the Congressional Record of next day contained the following state ment from the Hon. J. G. Cannon of Illinois. Chairman of the committee. It is the first complete and authentic showing of the appropriations made by the Fifty fifth Congress, and it reveals the fact that the total is not so great as has been reported in previous partial statements made on the floor of the House and the public press. Mr. Can non says: "The appropriations made at the session of Congress just closed amount, approximately, to *073,848,400, and show an apparent reduction of $319,- 578.1 MM) under the appropriations made at the preceding session. This is attrib utable to the large expenses occasioned by the war with Spain that were pro vided for during the preceding session. "The entire appropriations made by the Fifty-fifth Congress aggregate *t,- ii00,H1M),010.38. Of this sum 083.47 is directly chargeable to our late war with Spain, or irindcut Uiw«u>. l)<*<lu<*tinK tn?" f. 777. tV»V,nliuh, amount of the appropriations, the re mainder. $1,084,837,033.81, represents the ordinary or normal appropriations made l>y the Fifty-fifth Congress. "The appropriations made by the pre ceding Congress, the Fifty fourth, amounted to *1,014,-'>59.378.87. A com parison shows an increase in ordinary appropriations made by this Congress over those made by that Congress, the Fifty-fourth, of *150,747,000, but this apparent increase is more than account ed for by increases under eight items alone, namely, for pensions, *4,(MM),000; for the postal service, *10,0(10,000; for rivers and harbors, including work un der contracts previously authorized. $3, (100,(KM); for new ships for the navy. *•>, 0(10,000, for beginning (lie work of the twelfth census, *I,OOO, (MM); for the Paris Imposition, #1,300,000; for new public buildings, including the building for the Department of Justice for site and partial construction of the new Government printing oflice. about *•">. 000.000, and for payment of judgment rendered against the Government on account of French spoliations and Wil der the Bowman act. *3. 100,'WW.
