A TRAVELER who has been through

that the stockades in wldeh less than
ten years ago vice flourished in excess,
and in which young women, lured from
their homes, were imprisoned, have
wholly disappeared. The modern lum
berman is an entirely different kind of

to be. One keeper of a stockudc is now

AN APPROPRIATION IS REFUSED,
The Houso Declines to Allow the Penrose
Investigation Committee Twenty Thou
sand Dollars for Expenses, hut This Will
Not Prevent tho Work from Proceeding.
(Special Correspondence.)
IIARRISBUHO, June 10.—After one of tho
most memorable deadlocks on the eve of
the final adjournment, the senate, early
Saturday morning, was compelled to re
cede from tho amendment to tho geuoral
appropriation bill sotting aside #20.000 for
tho expenses of the Penrose committee to
investigate the municipal affairs of Fhila
! dolphla.
That the attempt to stiilo the proposed
J investigation will prove abortive was em
phasized late in the afternoon by the or
j ganizatiou of tho committee and the
authoritative announcement that the in
vestigation would be proceeded with. The
committee mot in room 110 of tho Locliiel
hotel, the senators remaining over in or
der that the committee might be put in
position for work at as early a date as pos
sible. All of the senators were present, as
follows: William H. Andrews, John C.
Grady, E. 11. Hurdenburg, C. Wesley
Thomas, S. J. M. McCarroll and Arthur
Kennedy. Senator Penrose was present
by invitation. The meeting was held in
executive session, but it is no secret that
nearly every one of tho members made
sizzling speeches announcing their deter-
I mi nation to push the probe in as far as it
! will go.
William 11. Andrews fur Chairman.
Tho committee organized by the selcc-
I tion of William H. Andrews as chairman
and C. Wesley Thomas us secretary. On
j motion of Senator Grady tho chairman
, was Instructed to engage competont coun
cil to assist the committee, to secure one
j or moro stenographers and to look after
, the necessary clerk hire. On motion of
i Senator Kcnnody tho chairman was in
structed to have 2,000 subpiuna* printed.
Although no announcement was made of
the fact it Is known that Silas W. Pottit,
of Philadelphia, is to bo the counsel of tho
committee. He will lie instructed to pro
pare tho nooessary papers in tho case and
! will have everything in shape for the meet
! lugs of the committee. The committee
adjourned to meet ut the call of the chair,
j If tho opponents of tho Penrose commit
tee thought they would smother tho inves
tigation by their action they uro very much
mistaken. Senator Penrose is authority
for the statement that the oommittco
moans business It is not after money,
I and the tall Philadelphia!! startled tho
( jobbers by saying that if it were neces
sary for the life of the committee he would
j make out his personal cheek for any
! amount of money needed.
While the committee adjourned to meet
at the call of t he chair, it was agreed that
the next meeting should be held in Hnr
risburg in the early part of August. By
that time it was thought all tho details
could be arranged and the committee be
prepared ut once to plunge into the inves
-1 ligation.
I The Beginning of the Deadlock.
! Early Friday evening It was evident
i that the house and senate would become
iuvolved in a deadlock over tho gonornl
appropriation bill. The fight began when
the house objected to tho two sonato items
in tho bill—ono for #20,000 to pay tho ex
penses of the Penrose committee and tho
other one for #15,000 for tho expenses of
the commlttoo appointed under the Ken
nedy resolution to lnqulro into the man
agement of tho public schools of the state.
Tho anti-Quay faction in tho house, it
seems,had for sovoraldays boon sotting up
the Job to defeat this appropriation. When
the houso had refused to concur in tho
amendments to tho general appropriation
bill, including tho two investigation items,
Speaker Walton named Messrs. ltiter, of
Philadelphia; Marshall, of Allegheny, and
Collins, of Lycoming, as tho conferrces of
I the houso, while President Thomas se
lected Messrs. Penroso, Andrews and
1 Grady on tho part of the senate. It was
| only necessary for the conforonoo com
mittee to get together to appreciate tho
hopelessnoss of their coming together.
Three times during tho courso of tho night
wus the houso callod to order to hoar tho
report of the conforrees, and three times it
sent them back to conference, with in
structions to maintain tho hostile position
of tho house.
At ft o'clock the house mot again, when
Mr. Marshall, from tho committee, re
ported that the senate had made these two
propositions—that it would reduce the
item for the Penrose committee from #50,-
000 to #15,000, and that for tho Kennedy
school committee from #15,000 to #5,000.
An inflammatory speech from Mr. Kitor
caused the rejection of this. Finally tho
senate receded from its position, but this
was not done until Senator Penroso had
made one of tho most sensational and elo
quent speeches of the session. He practi
cally said that money was being used to
shut off tho Investigation.
Fenrose Assails Flinn.
When tho senate reassembled to heat
tho report of the conferenoo commlttoo
j Senator Flinn made the mistake of saying
the investigating committee was unim
portant. Penrose was on his foot in an
instant. Although greatly fatigued by
t he work of un all night session, ho talked
with the fire and energy of u man in the
pink of condition. His eyes flushed fire,
and the rosy cheeks of Senator Flinn
paled ut tho volcano of fiery words that
! were hurled at him. He declared that ho
1 had offered to draw his personal check for
any decrease tho committee might make
In the amount asked fur, and that ho had
information from Philadelphia whioh as
sured him there would be no trouble in
raising the full amount if tho legislature
refused an appropriation.
As Senator Penroso proceeded he grew
more emphatic. Ho said in part:
"The appropriation for the Now York
investigation committee was obstructed
In a similar manner, but it only resulted
in arousing popular vengeance and return
ing tenfold upon tho heads of those who
attempted to prevent it. This investiga
tion cannot bo prevented My only dosiro
in obtaining an appropriation from tho
state was that the committee would bo in
dependent in Its action, and more under
the control of the chairman and the mom
i hers of the coinmitteo than if it were sup
| ported by private enterprise. That is a
J matter for this legislature to judge, but
i as far as I am concerned It is a matter of
| perfect indifference whether this logisla
-1 chooses to vote one cent for it or not.
"Hut for the gentleman from Allegheny
to say that it I* an unimportant matter,
when It is the thief subject of dead.
lock between the house.-., win 11 it has been
lobbied against in the house, is ridiculous
and false. The public will understand it.
And if I desired the committee to effi
ciently carry out its purpose whioh I con
templated in introducing it 1 would want
no better contribution to my euuse than
what I have witnessed here tonight. I
will not stultify myself by serving fur
ther on this committee, which may be in
structed to recede from its present posi
tion."
The reference of Senator Penrose to lob
bying in the house against, tho appropria
tions. which was evidently directed against
Senator Flinn. brought the latter to his
feet in reply before the Philadelphia sen
ator could resume his seat. Tho Pitts
burger's usually ruddy face burned with
a deeper red and his eyes had a look that
nobody iu the senate hud ever seen there
before during this sossion. Senator Flinn
sits immediately behind Senator Penrose,
and as lie spoke ho leaned over until his
face was within three feet of that of tho
Philadclphian's, who had turned half
way round In his chair and listened with
unmoved countenance to what was said.
It was tho most startling, dramatic epi
sode of the senate for a dozen years.
Senator Flinn Respond*.
"I do not believe that the house was
biased by anybody," said Senator Flinn
deliberately. "I do not believo that any
body could control the house on this ques
tion. The gentleman has tried to make it
appear that 1 have tried to control the
house on this question," and Senator
Flinn leaned over and pointed along fore
finger at Senator Penrose. "When tho
gentleman says I am speaking falsely, I
hurl buck in his face the insinuation. In
taking the stand that I havo on this meas
ure I am only standing up for my convic
tions and my belief. And when the Sena
tor from Philadelphia comes here and
charges me with trying to set up the houso,
ho belittles that body. I do not boliovo I
could set them up if I tried; I do not bo
liovo the senator from Philadelphia can."
The final voto was taken in tho house,
and was on tho motion of Mr. Holies, of
Philadelphia, to rcinstruct tho committee
j to stand out against the appropriation.
On this the yeas and nays woro culled
and the Quay and anti-Quay forces were
lined up for a square count for the first
timo during this memorable struggle.
The Quay people voted no, tho anti-Quay
people voted yea.
The result was 89 yeas to 57 nays, a de
cisive victory for the anti-Quay element in
the house, considering that nearly sixty
members were absent, which would have
increased tho strength of tho auti-Quay
forces.
The senate in the meantime had sus
pended joint rule eight, which required
all bills and resolutions to be in the hands
of the governor by b o'clock. Had this not
been done and the house persisted in its
stand there would have been no time to
print tho conference committoe's report,
the general appropriation bill would have
failed and an extru session would have
been a necessity. But at 7.15 Lieutenant
Governor Lyon hurried into tho house and
notified General Jerome B. Nilos that if
the house would pass rule eight, extend
ing the sossion, that tho sonato would ro
ccdo from its position in demanding the
Loxow appropriation and tho battle would
be brought to a close. The house immedi
ately passed the resolution and adjourned
until 10 o'clock. That was tho end of tho
battle.
Appropriations Stricken Out*
At 10 o'clock both houso and senate re
convened. Tho Houato had done as agreed.
Tho Loxow appropriations wero stricken
from the bill and tho general appropria
tion bill passed by unanimous vote in
both branches, and an extra session was
averted.
Iu the senato the majority report of tho
committee unseating Mr. Luuboch and
seating Mr. Heller was adopted, and Mr.
Heller took the oath of oillco. Theu fol
lowed tho usual votes of thanks, and tho
senato adjourned sine die.
The final adjournment of the houso was
preceded by the presentation of u horso
and buggy to Representative Lawrence,
of Washington, and u beautiful silver ser
vice to Speaker Walton.
The result of the fight has loft a bitter
fooling among the rival Republican fac
tions, of which the hot and sensational set
to between Senators Penroso and B'llnn
was but a moderate illustration. It is
confidently prediotod by a close political
observer that this is practically the bo
ginning of probably the fiercest political
battle ever waged within party lines in
Pennsylvania,with the Magee-Flluu forces
in tho west, the Martin-Porter followers
in Philadelphia, the state administration
and tho Pennsylvania railroad all arrayed
against Senators Quay and Cameron.
The Kennedy resolution, the other day,
for a senatorial investigation of tho school
system gave those who control the house
machinery their opportunity. Tho Idea
of offering a similar resolution was pro
posed by Speaker Walton, and It was his
influence which secured tho change in tho
order of business allowing it to bo intro
duced. Tho whole tenor of the arguments
in favor of the resolution was against the
senate for presuming to go into siuih a
scheme by itself and tending to inflame
tho minds of the members ugalnst tho
senato under the guise of maintaining the
dignity of the houso. Nouo of those back
of tho resolution had any idea that it could
pass, but they accomplished their purposo
of stirring up ill fooling. Whon the
amendments came over tho samo cry was
again raised, and a Democrat, Represen
tative Fow, was selected to lead tho oppo
sition.
The "Dignity of tho House."
Homo of tho best speakers woro given
tho tip to gut up and "pitch Into the sen
ate," and Gonoral Nilos and others re
sponded. Under the pressure, and the re
iteration of the instructions to stand firm,
it was soon that if the fight was prolonged,
it must inevitably result in an oxtra ses
sion, because of tho failure of tho general
appropriation bill. To avoid that groat
expense to the state the sonato conferees
agreed to rocode from both tho amend
ments making appropriations to tho inves
tigating committee, und the deadlock was
broken.
The contest over these appropriations,
together with tho hard fcellug engendered
by tho seating of Heller in Senator Lau
bach's place, has aided in materially wid
ening the breach between the factions in
the Republican party, and there i£ ovory
indication that tho next two years will
witness some of the most exciting contests
iu the history of political partios in this
state.
Within a few hours after the appropria
tion had been defeated the committee had
been notified by telegraph from Phil
adelphia that subsoriptions to twico the
amount asked for could he hud at any mo
ment. It is said that one public spirited citi
zen offered, in case of necessity, to put his
hand in his pocket and pay tho entire ex
penses of tho investigation. Thus assured
of ample funds, tho committee began prep
arations for n determined fltrht. W.M. R.

Honolulu, June 0 via San Francisco,
June 11.—The Hawailun government has
commissioned William B. Castle as its
minister to Washington. The announce
ment of Mr. Castle's appointment hy
steamer Monwal sailing from here on
May 31 was premature, as the appoint
ment was not made until the following
day.
Will Not Rematu Long.
Mr. Castle will proceed to his post in
August with his family. On account of
business Interests here he does not ex
pect to occupy the position for any length
of time. He was tho second member of
the commission, of which Thurston was
the head, which negotiated the treaty of
annexation with President Harrison In
February, 1803.
Regarding Mr. Thurston.
The government desires to avoid giv
ing any needless irritation. It has,
therefore, refrained from discussing Mr.
Thurston's course. It is not therefore to
be interpreted as censuring him, on tho
contrary, it is deeply sensible of Mr.
Thurston's great fidelity and ability in
his support at u critical period In Decem
ber, 1803, as well as on many other occa
sions when he was obliged to assume an
attitude necessarily unpleasant to the
Washington administration.
For a Cubic to Honolulu.
Hon. Audloy Coote, of Australia, is
here. He intended to go to Washington,
but will defer that visit until near the
openiug session of congress. He repre
sents the Pacific Cable company which,
laid the first link of a thousand miles to
New Caledonia. Mr. Coote is prepared
to lay a proposed cable from Monterey
to Honolulu, to bo owned by the United
States government if desired, or other
wise, subject to their control. His in- !
tention is then to proceed with a line to
Japan and auother to Australia.

PASTOR AND POLITICIAN.
Remarkable Career of the Lute Ex-Oot
Chase of InUluna.
Rev. Ira J. Chase, of Irving-ton, Intl.,
ex-governor of the Iloosicr state, who
died recently at Lubee, Me., where he
was conducting a revival, was born in
Rockport, Monroe county, N.Y., Decem
ber 7, 1834. His father, Benjamin C.
Chascv, was a farmer. Mr. Chase re
ceived his early education in the schools
of Milan in his native state, and com
pleted it at the seminary ut Medium
When twenty years of age his parents
left New York and moved to Cook
county, Illinois. The elder Chase con
tinued his agricultural pursuits and
kept his two sons, of which the ex-gov
eruor was tho youngor, busy on tho
farm. In 1801 Ira J. Chase secured s
position to teach in a neighboring
K X-G O' V. ISA J. OB AUL
school. Soon before the war broke out
he married Miss Rhoda I. Castle of
Cook county. He enlisted in Company
C, Nineteenth Illinois regiment, in 1801
and attained the rank of sergeant.
While his regiment was in none of tho
famous battles of tho war it traveled
nearly 7,000 miles through the states of
Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and
Alabama. It was his regiment that
went through the famous bridge at
Mitchell, Ind., when Company C, Nine
teenth Illinois, was lost almost to a
mun. Mr. Chase's health began to fail
in 1803, and without making any appli
cation he was honorably discharged.
Mr. Chase and his wife returned to
Cook county in 1807, where he
aguin attempted farming, but his health
would not permit it. lie abandoned
the idea, and after studying theology
was appointed to a charge at Misha
vvuka. Ind., as a minister in the Chris
tian church. Ills appointments were
then as follows: La Porte, 1807; Pitts
burgh, Pa., 1800; Peoria, 111., 1871; Wa
oash, 1880, and from 1884 until ho was
sleeted lieutenant governor ho was
preaching at Danville, Ind. lie had
been prominent in state evangelical
work since liis campaign tfgainst Mat
son for congress. Ills G. A. R. record
was ono of prominence. lie was a
charter member of Robert U. Emmet
post, of Wabash, and iu 1880 was elect
ed depar 9 uent chaplain by acclamation.
In 1887 lie was elected Indiana depart
ment commander over Ave competitors,
receiving 124 more votes on Oio first
ballot than all the rest combined. In
1888 be was again elocted department
chaplain. When he ran for congress in
the Fifth district against C. C. Matson
he reduced the democratic majority
from 1,000 to 528. In 1888 ho was elect
ed lieutenant governor with Gen.
Hovey as governor of Indiana. Gov.
Hovey died in ICOI, and Mr. Chose suo
soeded to the gubernatorial chair. He
was renominated b/ the republicans In
1802, but was dofeated in the general
overthrow of that year. Since leaving
the governor's oflice ho had been an
evangelist in the Christian church. Ills
unfortunate association with the Zlmri
Dwiggin mushroom banking scheme in
Indiana resulted in his indictment in
the Greentown bank failure. After
the 1803 panic Mr. Chase was shown to
be an Innocent victim Imposed on by
tho promoters, apd tardy Justice was
recently done him by tho dismissal of
tho case at Frankfort without ever
bringing him to trial.

$6,435,000, or $1,000,000 a day, .Sundays
excluded, und the expenditures have
beeu $10,004,000, or only $1,509,000 in
excess of receipts.
Deficit Will Be Itoducod.
This deficit will by wiped out before
many days and the end of June is likely
to show for the month an excess of two
or three millions of dollars receipts over
expenditures, a condition not reached in
any one month for several years by the
treasury. Tho deficit for tho year which
now stands at $48,320,000 will bo roducod
to $45,000,000 or below by June 30.
Bushiest* Adjusting Itself.
This turn in afTairs iu the treasury
condition is accounted for by the fact
that business is adjusting itself to turilT
conditions and that large revenue is now
being received frout articles that here
tofore yielded little as they were iu
"stock." This is notably the case as re
gards sugar, which had been imported
free under the former tariff law. The
free stock Is now exhausted and imports
have been resumed.
Internal Revenue Receipts.
Tho large quantity of whiskey taken
out of bond to escape tho increased tax
of twenty cents a gallon, is now nearly
or completely consumed and new whis
key is being taken out of bond to sup
ply the consumptive demand. The in
crease in internal revenue receipts shows
this plainly.
Receipts Hi 111 Too Small.
With all the principal lines of business
adjusting themselves to tho present
tariff conditions and with an increased
volume of business appareut. still the
revenues of the government are not quite
Hunicient to meet fixed expenditures.
Tho increased revenue of $40,000,000 or
$50,000,000 provided by the senate over
the house tariff act, principally on the
items of sugar, irou ore aud coal, makes
the deficit just so much less, but leaves
the treasury still short by about twenty
five or thirty million dollars a year of
equalling expenditures. This will have
to be provided for by the next congress.
