The Congressional Conference for this
District will te held in the Court House
at Beaver, Pa., on Thursday, May lTth
A reported settlement of Butler post
office matter has lately been published
but the matter is not yet settled: and it
is not likely that it will until after the
Concessional Conference, at Beaver
next Thursday.
A special to the Dispatch from Har
risburg. dated Monday, says "There
is likely to a rounding-up of the State
administration leaders this week before
Governor Stone leaves Tnursdav on a
trout-fishing trip. So far as the Quay
leader# are concerned they profess to
gee no signs of serious trouble in the
campaign this year. They have read
the statements of their adversaries, the
.ever-vigilant insurgents, but these
rlairns and figures do not impress them
seriously.
They regard the figures as misleading
and declare that the insurgents are too
general Jn their estimates; that the
figures which they hare carefully com
piled are not susceptible of critical
analysis in the light of the facts. To
this charge the insurgent leaders come
back with the statement that the Quay
managers are afraid to make any esti
mate since the State Convention.

The transfer of the State Treasury
management from James S. Beacom of
Westmoreland to Col. James E. Bar
nett of Washington county, occupied
only a few minutes of last Monday.
They went over the securities of the
Commonwealth together, and each sat
isfied the other that even-thing was all
right. Col. Barnett announced the re
appointment of T. Stewart Pearce, of
Saltsburg, Indiana county, as cashier
and then the business of the depart
ment went on as usual. There will be
no changes in the clerical force, at least
for the presant.
The change in the head of the depart
ment develops the fact that the Com
monwealth has never before been in
such fine shape financially. At noon,
when the transfer was made, the bal
ance in the general fund was £t, *4*,-
91455, and in the sinking fund the l>al
aw*- is The net debt of
the Commonwealth is not much over
$<500,000. The sinking fund consists of
United States bonds, Allegheny Valley
Railroad bonds and cash, and under the
act of 1897 the TO banks in which the
cash of the sinking fund is deposited
pay 2 per cent interest. Under the
operation of the sinking fund law there
is transferred from the general to the
sinking fund SIOO,OOO every year and
bonds of the Allegheny Valley Railroad
Company to the same amount are can
celled annually.

The bill for the construction of the
Nicaragua canal bill passed the House
a few days ago by the overwhelming
vt>te of 225 to 35. This bill authorizes
the President to secure from Nicaragua
and Costa Rica the right of way for a
canal from a point near Greytown, on
the Carribbean sea, by way of Lake
Nicaragua to Breto, 011 the Pacifi"
ocean, the construction to lie in charge
of the Secretary of War, and directs
that harliors be constructed at the
termini of the canal, with such pro
visions as may be required for the safe
ty and protection of tne canal and these
harbors. Ten million dollars is appro
priated to begin the work, together
with such sum as may be necessary to
secure control of the right of way, and
the Secretary of War is authorized to
make contracts for the completion of
the canal, the total sum not to exceed

veteran Pennsylvania Congressman.
Galnsha A. Grow, "was accorded a most
signal evidence of the honor and esteem
in which he is held by the House, irre
spective of its political division*, when
by a unanimous vote he was given leave
to print in the "Congressional Record, '
in connection with his remarks on the
free homestead bill then under discus
sion, his maiden speech in Congress de
livered on tne same subject, March 30.
1852. The request was made by Deb
gate Dennis frlynn, of Oklahoma, who
called on the House to again lay ln-fore
the country a speech made "48 years
ago, before half of the members of this
Hotline were born.' Mr. Grow was
much affected by the action of his fel
low members His speech was short,
but delivered-with all his old time force
and vigor. He prefaced it by saying
that the discussion "awakens tne echoes
that start when memory plays an old
tune on the heart."
The bill passed last Thursday ojtens
all the lands acquired by treaty from
the Indians since 1890 to settlement
under the provisions of the original
homestead law just the same as are the
lands acquired prior to 1890, whether
from Indian tribes or by purchase of
treaty from foreign nations.
