The bill introduced to make possible the erection of the hospital provided for by the late C. L. Magee is to have op position. Tuesday morning Senator Mueblbromier bad it recommitted for a hearing. He says that M. K. McMullin and the Bigelows % want to be heard. McMullin had the bill passed two years ago preventing the building of hospitals in built np portions of the city. He is said to be opposed to any change in it now. The Bigelows are objecting be cause they do not want the Ea.t End Hospital to be erected on the site that has been selected. On Tuesday the Snyder-Harris Oleo bill passed the House by a vote of 140 to .'SB, greatly to the disgust of Senator Muehlbronner of Allegheny, who was quoted as follows: "This bill, should it become a law, will cost me $25,000." ' I have been serving the administration in every pos sible way and the leaders now return the favor by throwing me down with brutal force. lam through with them and will not go along with them in the future. They wanted vindication, and got it at my expense. 1 have been gold bricked just as the second class cities of the State were gold-bricked early in the session The Jahor organizations have been handed a brick or two and the farmers will be reached in the general distribntion in good time." Onr. Legislators at Harrisbnrg seem to be anxions to finish up their work and get home. On Thursday afternoon of last week the Senators passed twenty - seven bills on first reading, advanced two to third reading and passed thirty two finally, and Gov. Stone, that day, approved of the following of general in terest : Endowing the trustees of hospitals and asylums under the control of the State with corporate powers. Amending the act prescribing the fees to be paid by applicants for examination by the State Pharmaceutical Examining board. To encourage the use of wide tires on wagons on the public highways where the county seat is located. Authorizing the securing of a bond for a liquor license from any part of the country. Requiring non resident gunners to se cure a license before hunting in this State. Defining and punishing tho crime of administering knockout drops. He also signed the Myers bill provid ing for the centralization of township schools and to provide high schools for townships. The bill was introduced by /'Mr. Myers. Democrat, of Cumberland, and is regarded as one of the most im portant pieces of school legislation en acted since the common school law of 1831. It is intended to make the rar.il high school law of 1805 practicable by bringing all the pupils within the influ ence of the "high-priced teacher ' em ployed for the central high school; to abandon the poor-attended district school and convey the pupils to a central (Traded school, thns increasing the inter est, regularity of attendance and sani tary conditions; to diminish the expense of rnnning the township schools, as has been done, according to the report of nearly all of the townships in which centralization is now in operation It provides also for the conveyance of pupils to one or more central schools, thus avoiding extreme distances. Ex isting laws provide for the union >f two or more township lines for school pur poses. Centralization of rural schools has been recommended for several years in Allegheny, Washington. Westmore land and other Western Pennsylvania counties. An Insurance lobbyist attacked Rep. Colville of Philadelphia, in his seat in the House, that day. NEW LAWS. Under a recent Act of Assembly ap proved of by the Governor, school boards can grant the use of school buildings for lyceum and other literary purposes, not sectarian in their nature. Rabbits may be killed anytime l>y owners or lessees of property. This law was introduced because rabbits and hares are said to be multiplying so rapidly that they are n nuisance in some localities. The slaughter of them dur ing tho closed game season is restricted. They may be killed on the enclosed property of the man who does the killing and only for his own purposes and not for sale. An act approved April 11 provides that cattle, horses or hogs bitten by mad dogs, and killed iu consequence, may be paid for out of the fund raised by the taxation of dogs, and now ap plied to the payment of sheep killed by dogs All baled hay must hereafter be prop erly bound and marked with the weight on a wooden tab. Not more than 8 per cent of the total weight of the bundle may be of material used to hold the bundle together. Violation of this pro vision, or the false marking of the weight carries with it a penalty of not less than *25 nor more than SIOO fine. To encourage the preservation of for ests an ict approved April 11, provides that land owners who make affidavit that they have forest land be iring not less than •'»') trees per acre, said trees being of a diameter of eight inches or more, six feet from the ground, may have a rebate of 80 per cent of all the taxes assessed against such land lie bate may not be claimed on more than 50 acres by any one person, nor may the rebate amount to more than 45 cents an acre. RUSSIA is increasing her fleet in the Chinese waters, and something is ex pected to happen there in the near future. Cliieora Items.
