The Governor Fully Satisfied That “Far More Witnesses Are Charged For Than Were Before the Committee and More Miles Charged Than Were Traveled.”, HARRISBURG, June 30.—Governor Patti- son has cleared his table of all bills left in his hands by the legislature. He vetoes the McCarrell Street railway consolidation bill, and the appropriation Of $26,571.60 ‘ to pay the expenses of the house committtee on elections for the “general and necessary expenses” incurred in investigating four contests to seats in the legislature. He says he has already approved, “not with— out some misgivings, eleven bills appropri- ating $18,563.70 to pay the expenses of con- testants and contestees in such disputes and to pay the salaries Of ousted mem- bers.” He warns the public that this system OI paying all parties has a tendency to pro- mote and encourage such contests and to transfer their investigation to a body too often moved by partisan interest. and to take them out of the courts where the more deliberate methods of judicial inves- tigation are better calculated to create confidence in the final judgment reached. Regarding the additional bill of $26,- 571.60 to pay the expenses 0t those investi- gating these contests, he says the bill is largely made up of items practically con- stituting extra compensation for officers and members of the house in direct, viola< tion of that provision'of the law which de- clares that “no greater or other compensa- tion or allowance” than is provided by the existing salary act “shall be voted by either house to any Officer thereof for ser‘ vices performed at any session.” The governor refers to the charges of the sergeant-at-arms, and declares there is no warrant of law for his excessive bills. He is entitled to his actual expenses only. Special inquiry, he says, satisfies his mind that the service of subpoenaing witnesses and the mileage charged for were not actually rendered and performed by the sergeant-atarms. He is fully satisfied “that far more witnesses are here charged for than were actually before the commits tee or necessary to its investigation, and 'far more miles are herein charged than were actually traveled.” He picks, out items in the bill and shows the extravar gance of the charges, especially the hotel bills, amounting to $5,197.70, and extra car fare and telegrams.” He believes this latter item to be a pretext for increasing the compensation of certain members of the legislature. , In conclusion he s’ays : “This entire measure is so saturated and permeated with an attempt to impose upon the com- monwealth, and to take from its treasury a large amOunt of money for which no just claim exists, that I am unwilling to approve any portion of the same or to make , t possible for those who framed and de- 'vised it, and for whose benefit it was im« posed upon the legislature during the hur‘ ried business on the last day of thesession, to profit from it.” These appropriation bills were approved: House committee on appropriations, $2" 557; senate committee on finance for 1891, lows: Charles I. Baker, $2,720; A. L. Tag— gart, $1,000; Eli Waughaman, $1,720; Will- iam R. Barnhart, $1,738; W. P. Higby, $2,000; W. H. Andrews, $1,000; F. T. Okell, $1,000; J. P.

His Reasons for Pardoning Anarchist-s Stand on Their Merits. ‘ CHICAGO, June 30.——Altgeld is in, town. In reply to a reporter who asked him if he had anything to say about his pardon of the anarchists and the criticism which has been made of the not since its announce— ment, the governor said: “My reasons for pardoning the anarchists stand, and abuse of the governor will not knock them down. In the comments I have seen there is only abuse. There is no argument. They do not mention the fact that the man who was chief of police at the time says that he has investigated the case thoroughly and that he does not believe that there was much in it. They do not mention the fact could not give the case a fair and im< partial trial. They do not mention the fact that the man who threw the bomb was not brougnt into court and gave no evidence whatever at the trial, that it was not proven in the slightest measure that the man who threw the bomb had any connection with the men, was at all in- cited to the act by the conduct of these men, or that he had ever. even heard them make speeches. In a word, they leave my reasons severely alone. Mere abuse cannot knock these reasons down. They are there, and they must stand or fall on their merits.” A Farmer Threatened with Lynching. PITTSBURG, June 30.-—Herbert Doesch. a Leechburg farmer, narrowly escaped lynching for brutally assaulting a small bootblack named Willis Cole. The boy persis ently importuned himto have his boots lacked. Doesch became angry,and after kicking the boy he picked him up threw him over his head. The boy fell in- sensible to the pavement. A hundred or more angry men surrounded the farmer. The mob was about to do violence to the man when p the police arrived, and after considerable trouble Doesch was arrested. It is feared the boy will die. Poison in the Potpie. ‘ _ . .

The occasion was the public reception tendered to Hon. John L. Stevens, late United States minister at the Hawaiian islands. When Mr. Stevens was introduced he was received with thunders of applause. After thanking his fellow citizens for ltheir‘ welcome he pmed to a diitiussion of Hawaiian affairs, saying in pa : “Touching Hawaiian affairs at this time, I ,deem it especially fitting to stand in the attitude of an American only. I fully recognize, and am glad to recognize, that in the seventy years of American relations \,,__.»,Z. ' MINISTER STEVENS. of this country have occupied common ground and shown a firm American front to our foreign rivals, and an equal deter- mination to protect American and . native Hawaiian interests in those islands. “The monarchy died by its own revolu- tionary hand; a suicide of blindness, in- competence and corruption. I will not oc— cupy your time in repeating the absurd charge of the fallen queen‘s unscrupulous lawyer and the other individuals of the lottery and opium gang, who corruptly shared her association, the charge that the United States minister and the commander of the Boston overturned the monarchy.” After explaining that the raising of the American flag was the result of careful ; forethought, and in response to the appeal of the pr ovisional government, and to pro- tect American property from destruction‘ by riots, Mr. Stevens proceeded. “The salutary effect of raising the flag was immediate and remarkable. Quiet, confidence and perfect order at once took the place of panic, fear and distrust. Language cannot adequately express the joyful feelings of the large American colonies and of all the better elements of the other nationalities. It remained up seventy-five days. During that time all had been accomplished which had been promised and expected when it was raised. In that time two foreign war ships had arrived at Honolulu, but the American flag was up and thus all danger of dual or tripartite arrangements as to Hawaiian - _ affairs was avoided, and the just American predominance successfully maintained. "I am but too glad to believe that the present administration has not thought of giving up this vantage ground, to which the bold and vigorous dispatch of Secre- tary Bayard, approved by President Cleve land. to Minister Merrill, July 12, 1887, powerfully contributed. The language of the dispatch when an outbreak was feared, in the summer of 1887, was the following: “ lThe interests of American citizens which have grown up under the extension of commerce between Hawaii and the United States, and the guarantees of the existing treaty must not be jeopardized by internal confusion in the government of these islands, and it is the duty of the United States to see that these interests are not imperiled gr injured, and t9 <19 all things necessary for their ju‘st protection! “That ccuptry now has the best govern« ment it has ever had, administered by men of intelligence. education and character, and as thoroughly American in sympathy and interest as we have at the head of any of our American states and territories. That government, and those back of it— all the responsible and bests citizen of the islands—asks for the annexation of Hawaii as a territory of the United States. This is desired because it is believed to be best . for the native as well as the foreign born population of the islands. “This rich prize is freely offered us. I cannot think it possible that our people and our statesmen will refuse to accept it. To Spurn and reject this important and thoroughly American colony, planned by some of the most devoted of America’s sons and daughters, fostered by American benevolence and sympathy, aided by a million and a. half dollars of private con- tributions, encouraged for more than sixty years by the American government —to abandon them now at this critical period of their history would be cowardice and inhumanity that I believe no self respect- ' ing Christian nation would be guilty of, the least of all the great American nation, whose vast opportunities in the North Pacific it would be a great want of wis- dom and patriotism to ignore.” Mr. Power Has Accepted. WASHINGTON, June 30.—The report that Maurice J. Power had declined the ap- pointment as shipping commissioner at New Yorkis erroneous.

OTTAWA, Ont., June 30.—-Premier Davie, of British Columbia, had an interview with Minister of Commerce Bowell on the subject of closer, trade relations between Canada. and Australia. Since the inaugu- ration of the direct line between Van- couver and Sydney the boards of trade of British Columbia have been urging the Dominion government to endeavor tose- cure reciprocity in tariffs or free trade with Australia. Mr. Davie thinks the time is opportune to open up negotiations with a view to the betterment of Canada’s relations with these colonies, even to sending aminis- terial deputation to Australia. Mr. Bov’vell expressed himself as favorable to the pro- ject, and said when Premier Thompson returns from Paris the government will consider the matter in all its bearings. Big Oil Blaze at Newark. NEWARK, N. J ., June 30,—The Standard Oil company’s loss from yeSterday’s big fire at its works on the Passaic river front, near the Erie railroad depot, will not ex- ceed $60,000. The blaze was the biggest which the firemen had to combat since the conflagration at the car stables of the Orange Electric line. The fire originated in an explosion in one of the big tanks. For a time it looked as if not only the the whole oil plant was to be destroyed, but that the fire would extend to the lum- ber yards and big thread mills that are lo- cated close by, but hard work Of the fire- men saved them.

'—Ex-President Har- rison arrived in this city yesterday after. noon, accompanied by Mrs. McKee and her little son. His daughter left by the Fall River boat for Boston, and he went to the Fifth Avenue hotel, where he will re— main during his stay in town. The’ex‘ president said he would be in New York until Monday, when he leaves for Cape May, where he will spend July and August. "And after that what will you do?” “I shall return home early in Septem- ber,” he said. "I desire to be presentat the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic.” He said that he would probably be in Indianapolis until the middle of Feb‘ ruary, when he is to go to the Leland Stanford university, where he gives a course of lectures on constitutional and international law. “I expect to devote part of my time at Cape May this summer to brightening up my knowledge of these legal subjects,” said he. “After the passage of the Sherman silver law silver sold at 129, now it is at 62. How ddyou account for this shrinkage?” “I would prefer not to discuss that sub- ject now,” was the answer. “But every- body knows that the Sherman law was only an expedient. Sherman, Aldrich and many other Republicans recognized this fact, and the Sherman silver bill was passed in preference to something worse.” “It is very interesting,” went on the ex— president, “to note the attitude of our Democratic friends at present. appealing to the Republicans to be patri- otic—an appeal which we have seldom failed to respond tO—but previous to the passage of the Sherman law, when the Rev publican administration was struggling with the finanaial question, the great aim of our Democratic friends was to ‘put Harrison in the hole.’ I don’t say this to excuse Republicans from being patriotic now and helping out the present adminis- tration, but only to point a contrast.” “Do you expect the Sherman act to be repealed?” “I don’t care to speak about that.
