The Di hectors of the Penncylvaula railroad company at their meeting in 1'hiladephla on Tuesday declared a semi-annual dividend of four per cent, on the capital stock payable on and after November 30. President Annum, it is said, has expressed im patience at the delay in the star route investigation and has intimat ed that he would like the counsel for the government to pubu things. And all the people say ainen. It is reported from tho Ititortor of British Columbia that not one-fourth of crops there will be saved, the wheat and barley "being frozen where they staud." The season has been ono of the most incleru-. ent known since tbe settlement of (be coun try by tbe whites. A lively oil excitement has broken out in Concord, Erie county. A party of producers in tbe Bradford district have organized a company for the purposes of developing tbe region which was abandoned several years ago. This company bus leased several thousand acres of laud and have erected a rig and commenced drilling. To-day Elections will be held in Vir ginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Col orado, Mississippi, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Minnesota. Five of these elections will be held for the purpose of choosing a full board of State ofllcers, and Legisla tures will be chosen in four. New York will' elect four Congressmen; various other officers will be chosen in different States, and constitutional amendments will be voted upon in Nebraska, Wis consin, Maryland and Minnesota. Financial circles around New York were badly shocked last week by the failure of the Mechanics' Bank of New ark, N. J. Tbe cashier had squandered the funds till the deficiency was over two millions of dollars, nearly double the capital of the bank. Several other fail ures have resulted from the bank failure and more may yet follow. It seems al most impossible that a board of directors could have allowed matters to reach such a point, and such directors don't seem to direct. The liquor men of Heading are high ly incensed over tbe action of tbe Law and Order League, and threaten to adopt rela tive measures against tbe members by with drawing their patronage, and preventing as far as possible all their friends from dealing with business men who favor tbe move ment adopted by tbe League. Threats are made tbat tbe Sunday law will be enforced against tbe tobacco and confectionery stores and tbe running of tbe street cars will also be stopped, if tbe prosecutions against tbe liquor dealers are pressed. Gulteau's Witnesses. Washington, November 3. George Scoville, of tbe counsel for Quiteau, baa so far availed himself of the order of court permitting the summoning of the twenty Witnesses at the govern ment's expense as to direct the clerk of the court to issue subpoenas for the following named persons : Mrs. Au gustus Parker, James G.

The millers associations to-day passed resolutions asking the chamber of com merce to enforce a rigid Inspection of wheat, as a vast quantity of that com. modity is coming from the northwest which, while it looks fair and grades No. 2 and even No. 1, is badly injured by rain and Is damp and tough and to tally unfit for flour. The association also telegraphed to the Miller's associa tion at Minneapolis tbat owing to the unwarranted condition of the wheat market, which Is manipulated in tbe in terest of speculators and against all le gitimate business, they believed it to be to the interebt of the millers of the coun try to make a common cause and shut down their milk until the price of wheat, shall be at a figure to compete with the markets of the' world.

OUft WASHINGTON LETTER. Warbiboton, D. C, Nov. 4, 1881. There Is not very much to review In taking a ret roi poet of Ilia late session of the Senate. It was not expected or Intended to be u impor tant session beyond tbe (act that It wits called to 1111 the gap between the tingle Ufa of Presi dent Arthur and utter vaeauey of the olllce. Yet wUhall the session furulibed a considera ble smouut of Interest, short as it was. The decision of the Democrats to elect the Fresi Ideut pro tern, whllo they bad a temporary majority, was In itself the means nf exciting considerable political Inlarest, and It provoked a retaliatory reeling among tho Republicans, that resulted la the election of Judge Davis. Now that It Is all past and results only are look at It Is generally admitted, on both tides, that some tort of a compromise by which one candidate had been agreed upon would hare been belter for both parties and gonerated a better feeling both In and out or tho body. But to long at tbe active principle of our politics Is the spoils of ofllco this tort of political Wisdom may not be looked for. Mere tomporary sue cess to get, and, It possible, to hold, without much regard to meant Is the rule of action. Touching tho appointments made and con firmed during tbe session It ma; bo said tbat for the most part Presldeut Arthur has been simply administering upon the estato of bit predecessor. The most Important nominations were those of Judge Folger to be Secretary of the Treasury, Gen. James to succeed himself as Fostmaster General, and Mr. Mutton to suc ceed Mr. Tyner at First Assistant Fostmaster General. Nearly If not quite all tbe other nominations were appointments of the lato President. It it now very generally believed hero that Judge Davit will lu the future act with tho Republican!. There Is no doubt tbat had the Deinocratt elected blm President pro tern., they would have secured blm beyond perad venture, Hut this In the past, and the Demo crats may as well face the fact that In all their calculations for the future the big Senator from Illinois must be counted at against them. Sev eral of tbe Democratic Senators said on Satur day last tbat they would sooner have a straight out Republican In the chair than Judge Davis, and If tho Republicans brought In a motion In December to elect one of their own number they would make no apposition . But with the vote of Judge Davit tecured, tbe Republicans have no Incentive to attcpt a change, and they have plainly Indicated this view. So far as the officers of tbe Senate are concerned the Demo cratic incumbents have tome reason to feel easy, for Judge Davit has repeatedly expressed himself at opposed to turning men out of ofllce unless for cause. lie dined with tbe President just before he left for homo. When be comet back bo will make the appointment of keeper of tbe Scuate cook-shop, for which nearly all tbe restaurant keepers in town have been run ning after blm. Tbe Republican party hat frequently furnished evidence that It It the most compact and best disciplined organization the country has bad of late years. It rarely makes a mistake, from a party standpoint. When Judgo Davit wat elected President of the Senate tbe Democrat! did not feel to bad and thought tho Republican! had fooled them selves tbat when they most wanted bis voto they would not get It. But tbe record of the session proves that the Republican! knew just what they were about. On every political question after his election Senator Davit either voted with them or refrained from voting at all which amounted to tba same thing, aud his boasted Independence It no more. Tbe session of the Woman's National Tem perance Union Just concluded here, was an in teresting one and fruitful of pleasant incidents. Tbo most prominent and widest known figure lu it was Miss Susan B. Anthony, who Is to-day scarcely a year older In appearance than she was twenty years ago. Her hair is slightly tinged with grey but lime teems to work changet very slowly upon her calm, Intelligent face. She appeared on tbe platform dretsed la black and wearing the gold spectacles which have become to familiar lu caricature. Next to Mist Anthony Mist Frances E. Willard, the President of the Union, it perhaps the best known over the country. She is alto next In point of ability, and probably first In womanly qualities. Mist Clara Barton, who will be re membered for her services In the Army at nurse and doctor, aud Mrs. Woodbridge of Ohio, the Secretary, were among the other prominent ladles In attendance. Tbe most thrilling scene of the session was when Miss Willard took the hand of her mother, who had been brought there unknown to her, and In trembling accents introduced her to the audi enco at "the dear heart that never failed me." She paid an eloquent tribute to tho aged moth er who stood beside her. The scene In tbe church was remarkable j not an eje was dry and many ladles actually cried aloud. Tbe old lady thanked tbe Convention aud then kissed her daughter, whereupon there was a fresh outburst of emotion. Speaking of kissing, one would hardly ex pect to hear mnch of that tort of thing lu a Convention of rather strong-minded women. Tet there was a good deal of it going on. At one of the sessions Mrs. Morrison, a delicate looking lady from Indiana, rose to "a question of privilege," and ascending the platform tald she wanted to klst Mist Anthony In the pres ence of the American flag and of the picture of Gen, Garfield, who In tbe proudest moment of hit life turned aside to klst bU wife and moth er. Suiting the action to the word the gave Sutan a "smack" that could be heard all over the church. Evidently the action wat approved at nobody objected to the "question of privi lege." What a pity that to many of these old girls are limited to kissing each other. Tbe ladles did not leave anybody in the dark at to the object of their organization. They occu pied our pulpits and balla on Sunday with pleas for temperance and retoluted most em phatically against the saloont. Tbey went down to Mt. Vergon and undertook to close the bar of tbe steamboat oa which they made tho trip. One of them wat very enthusiastic over President Arthur. "Our President," tho tald, "knowt how to do the proper thing so handsomely, and we all love him." After that how can ho refuse their request to adopt tho "no wine" policy during hit tiny In the White House. Foil Tub Timbs. Ratsov llii.t,. Octolwr anth. ism.
