9 Both houses met Monday evening.
In the Senate Mr. Herbst's resolution
censuring Gov. Pennypacker was ruled
out of order, and tabled by a vote of 32
to 8; the Governor nominated David
Cameron to succeed Judge Niles, dec d,
of Tioga county, and also sent to the
Senate a long list of J. P's and Notary
Public, all of which were confirmed.
The Honse was in session but one
hour and then adjourned in respect to
the memory of Ward R. Blis3, dec d, a
late member.
The greater part of the Allegheny
county delegation wiU urge the Great
er-Pittsburg bill,-this session, and also
a bill for more Courts in that county.
On Tuesday 185 members of the House
and 38 of the Senate voted for P. C.
Knox for TJ. S. Senator, and he was
elected, yesterday, in joint session by
the largest majority ever given a can
didate in tlxis state for that office.
Senator McNees succeeded in secur
ing P. W. Lowry, of Butler, the place
he wanted, Reading Clerk of the Senate,
and J.N. Moore was continued, through
the influence of Walton, as Journal
Clerk of the House.
The Pennsylvania State Editorial as
sociation, at its annual meeting, Tues
day, adopted these resolutions:
"The Pennsylvania State Editorial as
sociation, believing in only such em-
ployment of the public press as is per
mitted by the constitution and laws cf
the states fairly interpreted, hereby
Resolves, That the injection by Gov.
Pennypacker o! an entirely personal
matter into a state paper and into pro
posed legislation, in snch a manner as
gratuitously to cast reflection upon the
character of the press of the state, as a
whole, was uncalled for, unwarranted
and unjustified; and it further
Resolves, That the position taken by
GOT. Pennypacker both in his message
and in his proposed bill, marked "A, '
is contrary to the constitution and to
good policy in that it restrains both
prtss and speech, and is unjust in that
it jeopardises important interests of the
state. The Governor has no right to
strike the personal critics over the
of all the newspapers of Pennsyl
vania."
The capitol building commission filed
its second report with the legislature,
Tuesday evening. The commission .re
ports that over 75 per cent of the work
contracted for has been completed and
recommends legislation making pro
vision for turning the building over to
the state when completed in January.

Washington Notes.
Senator J. H. Mitchell, of Oregon,
braving the precedents of a century,
appeared upon the floor of the Senate,
Tuesday, and defended his good name
•gainst the attacks of his traducers and
in the face of [an indictment on the
charge of being implicated in the land
frauds in his state.
Two bills were introduced in the
House, Monday, that are supposed to
have been inspired by the President.
Mr. Townsend's bill creates a court of
transportation with the powers of the
Circuit Court, having original exclusive
jurisdiction of all causes growing out
of such orders, regulations or require
ments that may be made and pro
mulgated by the Inter-State Commerce
Commission either in law or equity.
Mr. Esch's bill provides that the Inter-
State Commerce Commission shall de
clare, when 'complaint is made, what
shall be a just and reasonable rate,
practice or regulation for the future
with respect or any matter of trans
portation.
Vespasian Warner, whom the presi
dent has selected for pension commis
sioner to succeed E. F. Ware of Kansas,
served in the army of the Tennessee
and was wounded in the battle of
Shiloh.
. WAR NOTES.
The Russian note, of last week, to
the Powers, complaining of the Chi
nese, claiming that they were aiding
the Japs in several ways, and threaten
ing retaliation, was answered by the
Japs, filing attention to the fact that
the Russian Baltic fleet is hiding in
some port of Madagascar, which is con
trolled by the French. The Russians
followed up their note by sending a
large body of Cossack cavalry into Chi
nese territory west of the Liao river,
with the intention, the Japs thought, of
circling around and cutting the rail
road between Port Arthur and the Jap
lines along the Sakhe, and this may
cause a lengthening of the already long
lh>— of the two great armies facing
each other.
Why the Chinese do not pluck up
■punk enough to aid the Japs in driving
the Russians out of Eastern Asia is be
yond comprehension.
The Russian or St. Petersburg social
season opened very tamely, last week.
There were visits but no festivities on
their New Years day.
Gen. Strossel, family and officers were
taken to Nagasaki, Japan, and left
there, (excepting Gen. Fock) in a
French steamer for Marseilles, Tuesday.
The North Sea Commission is in ses
sion in Paris. The proceeding are being
conducted in the French language.
Thirty-two Gen. Nogi's
army and 368-siege guns were sent to
the army of the Sakhe river, which now
numbers 388,000 men.
Two million voters did not go to the
polls, last November.
Important Postal RuMug.
The Postmaster at Bucyrus, 0.. has
a ruling from the government which, is
of interest to every community where
the rural free delivery is in force. A
local carrier found in a raail box on his
route two letters that were intended
for the owner of the box and had been
put there by some one passing. The
fetters were confiscated and sent to the
government at Washington with a re
quest to r a ruling. The government
approved the action of the carrier and
said all mail found in the boxes with
out stamps or the proper amount of
money for postage, must be collected
and taken to the office from which the
route is operated and held for postage.
