THE PITTSBURG lIECORDEIt-
SHIP.
Last Friday night a remarkable con
ference took place at the Executive
Mansion in Harrisburg. It was in re
gard to the Recorderships of Pittsburg
and Allegheny, under the new law
called the Ripper Bill.
So called Stalwarts, like Senator Pen
rose and John Elkin, and so called In
surgents .ike Director Brown and City
Attorney Burleigh of Pittsburg took
part in it, it lasted till i o'clock in the
morning -and a few hours after Gov.
Stone appointed Major A. M. Brown to
be the first Recorder of Pittsbnrg, and
John R. Murphy to be the same for
Allegheny.
Major Brown's appointment was a
moat agreeable surprise to the go si peo
ple of Pittsburg. It is commended by
all the press and all the people there
excepting factional fanatics who talked
of being "gold bricked."
Major Brown is a native of this coun
ty, his standing at the Bar of Allegheny
eonnty is as hi«h as ever man had there:
and if the Supreme Court approves of
the law. and he accepts the office, he
will undoubtedly give the city a good
ad ministration of his office.
Regarding bin appointment be is
quoted as follows:
I tell yen candidly that there is no
arrangement tinder heaven to which 1
am a party. There was no deal what
ever, an«l 1 will not permit <i«v. Stone
or anybody else to control me. He
doesn't expect to do HO. I may take a
kindly suggestion from him the same as
1 woni'l from any other friend hut. ah
to anybody dictating me, that is ont of
the question. The appointment was
thrust upon me and it is a question in
my mind even now whether I should
accept it. When a couple ot gentlemen
firrt spoke to me about the position I
said I would not have it, but tnev urged
me and brought pressure to bear, and
told me the Governor was troubled over
the matter and was in a quandary as to
who would fill the place to the best in
terests of the people of Pittsburg. I
know there nave been political dif
ferences, but it can hardly be said that
I leaned either way. At times i sym
pathized with both sides, i believe
that ruy appointment was the result of
the friendship the Governor has for me.
It did seeru a bit strange at first that
the Goyergor should take two out of the
same family for important appointment#
hut a recorder who would not be an
tagonistic, nor a public persecutor, was
desired. I never sought oflice, never
Wantcl it,, uiul, roully for the sake of
my law practice and my sons who are in
business with ri:e I should not accept.
Why, a triend of mine told me to-day
that figuring from the standpoint of the
general good of the people of the city I
ought to take the recordership, but for
my personal interests I should not. IS'it
m many kindly words have been spoken
to me about the thing that 1 yielded.
But I guess it will be as bard now for
me to decline the place an it
was for me to make up my mind to ac-
Cept.
And regarding the present heads of
the departments: "1 don't know that all
will 1m disturbed. It lam installed
Mayor W. J. Diehl necessarily must be
disturbed, but the Mayor and 1 wont
fall out about it. 1 will not try to as
lumo charge as noon as I get uty com
mission. The mayor will not be dis
turbed until the Supreme court passes
on the legality of the law. The case
will be argued on April 23, and the
court may hand down a decision in a
few days and perhaps not for several
weeks, ft would be folly for me to try
to disturb birn now. He might get
cross and delay matters. I have the
freateot respect for the mayor; have
nown him, I might say, from his
childhood. But lam not 'prepared to
gay who will be rtiy department dtiec
tors. I will have to fill the recoidership
first and see who or what is at fault.
By passing the ripper it is cone led an
improvement was wanted, but it is not
the, head* of the departments ; t fault
so much as the system in vogue I -Aill
first have to satisfy myt-clf, and then
consider the interests of the people be
fore doing anything. Nobody bum been
assured of anything. I will give to no
particular party at tfa«- expense of the
people. I have not promised, agreed to
or consented to have anvbodv placea or
displaced. Now. frankly, no jobs have
bi eu asked of me. I have no personal
ends to satisfy iu this thing.
"It i- a little awkward for me to dis
cuvs the recordership at this stage, but
as to the relative merits of the old char
ter and the new one 1 think the latter
is an improvement; ntill it may have its
defects. 1 never expected this appoint
Blent and therefore did not examine
closely into the new law. Anyway it is
pot for me to pass an opinion now in
view of the fact that it is in the hand*
of the Bupreme court, Under the new
charter the head of the city government
lias great liowers, and a lot of resjxmsi
hilitiee. He will have-to do his very
best or answer to the people The head
of the government under the old charter
iH a nonentity. The position of recorder
is one of power.
The Pittsburg Times says in its news
columns of Tuesday:
'1 hat there was an agre> meiit drawn
up between the representatives of <»ov.
W, A Htone and Henator William
Flinn was apparent from the circum
stances surrounding the movements of
the parties concerned prior to the ni.
nomicement of the appointments, it,
developed yestenUy that th'n agree
Went was drawn up in writing. Attor
ney General John i*. Klkin acted for
Gov. Btone and City Attorney (iarencf
Burleigh represented Senator Flinn iu
drafting this agreement, whi' h work
was done iu the executive ii ;ririon
while fjov. Stone and I>ii<-<-tf»r, J. O,
Brown, of the Department Public
Hafety, were present.
Before the agreement was drawn up
then wa* read a letter from Maj Brown
statiujf that ho Would accept the re
eordership. The lijtfer wa» obtained
from Maj. Brown on last Friday by
Senator Flinn. Brown knew In was
to be appointed fx-fore the appoint
merit was announced and this fa< i was I
also known to Henator Flinn last Fri !
dav night
Wiule the exact nature of the writ ten
agreement has not been made public,
and likely will not be made known until
after the adjournment of tin- Legichttme
then; was a general mulrirtumiing in
political circles yesterday »to wh;d
the article iu writing embodies If
what is general Impret ion is founded
on fact, Henator Flinn's intere. t politi

Senatar Minn will not Interfere with
certain political tnteresis which lie
near <Jov. Htoue's heart.
The Dispatch quotes as nay

"They've made a nice mess of it
haven't they?' he commented, between
chuckle*.
"Did you send Biglow such a tele
gram'r" wav asked.
"1 suppose 1 did. We had a good deal
of telegraphic correspondence, and I pre
sume this is one of the telegrams
"Did you expect the Governor to ap
point Major Brown'.
"No. I was never more surprised m
my life than when his purpose had lie
come known to me. Of. course I » x
jiec'ed him to appoint a ytiav uian. I re
mne-ndtd Biglow. Maj .r Brown is a

factional quarrel. But they have cer

j thing. Flinn must be nearly killing
j hii self laughing.
• D » you think the Governor, in mak
ing ta;s appotnment, did it in a spirit
I hos le to you'""
' Co: that is not my way of looking at
j the . latter, said the Senator with some
emphasis. T think he did it because
' 1- tielieved he could satisfy a larger
~.i vrof of the people in Pittsburg in
vav than in any other. He had to
act on Saturday, and that, apparently,
was the only solution he could find
"Did yon authorize Mr. Biglow to
give out the telearam ?
"Why, no: I did not authorize him to
make any sort of a statement, lom
must be mad clear through.

Representative Myers' bill to compel
the heads of the several departments of
the State Government to fnrnish item
ized reports of receipts and expenditures
at the end of each fiscal year met de
feat at the hands of the Stalwarts in the
Honse last Thursday evening The bill
was at the foot of the calen 1 ir. By the
time it was reached there was a bare
quorum present. Mr. Mt er■ knew that
the bosses did not wish a- :>ill passed,
bat thought it might be t.nvd through
when a big attendance was at hand
So when the bill was reported he
moved to postpone for the present.
The Stalwarts fought this postpone
ment vigorously and defeated the mo
tion. The bill was then forced to final
p issage and went down by a vote of 4 •
to 70.
Everybody in Harrisburg was talk
ing over the political situation yester
day and wondering what it all meant.
Those who could throw light on the
subject remained silent, and their at
titude only increased the interest.
Ever sinee Saturday, when the Re
cordership was settled, those in the
dark have been saying that the arrival
of Senator Flinn in Harrisburg would
settle the (ju'-stlon as t> his connection
with the appointment of Major Brown.
Senator Flinn arrived from Philadelphia
Tuesday evening, where lie had tarried
since Sunday on private business.
Naturally, he was besieged on all
sides. Qnayitea jocularly patted him
on the back, said they were tclad lie had
experienced a change of heart anil
hoped he would be good hereafter.
The Insurgents approached him rather
carefully. They did not know 11 he
was with them or against them, and
feared to hear the worst. The Demo
crats came up boldly and asked the
question outright.
With all he treat*! the matter as a
joke; at least, that was the way he
acted. Perhaps he was confidential
to leading Insurgents. neh as Edwards,
Ford. Hosack. Weller. Stewart, Rice
Coray and Fetterolf, but jf he was they
did not say so to the newspaper reporter
afterward. They were just as evasiv
on the subject as Flinn.
Thk Pittaburg Pot of last Sunday
averted that tin- "Store Flinn Con
tract" provides that all the Allegheny
county delegates are to vote for Elkin
for Governor, next year: that their AH
semblymen nre to vote for Koiw Pen
rose to succeed himself next year, and
for Gov. Stone to puececd Quay in
that the ballot-reform measure now
pending is to be dropjied; also the wliis
key -ripper measure; and that Flinn in
not to oppose the Fox bill for the com
pletion of the Capitol; for all of which
Flinn is to remain the BOSH of Pittsburg
and his friends '•ernain in office.
If that contract is carried out both
the liiglow brothers and Oliver brothels
will have nice, large gold-bricks to pol
ish.

During the latter part of hist week
Japan sent an ultimatum to Russia, re
gardmg the Mancburlan treaty, and
was continuing her preparations for
war.
From St. Petersburg an engagement
in Manchuria, between three Russian
regiments and several thousand Chinese
was reported, with the Russians vic
torious. The Russian attitude in Man
churia as outlined in the Official Mes
senger of Ht. Petersburg, is interpreted
by the English pai<ers as meaning,
''Here I am and here 1 stay."
