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 cally in Allegheny county an not to bo disturbed by (Jov. Stone, ai d in return Senatar Minn will not Interfere with certain political tnteresis which lie near <Jov. Htoue's heart. The Dispatch quotes as nay ing f "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 fin.- man So far a- I know, he ha- not : • en indentified on either side of the factional quarrel. But they have cer ■ tainly made a fine mess of the whole 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. IIA KltlSlilKG. 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. Chitin. 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."
