PENNSYLVANIA.

The condition of finances of Pennsylvania, and
the extraordinary call of the Legislature now in
session, gives unusual Importance to their pro-
ceedings. We learn from Harrisburg that Mr..
Penrose introduced resolutions into the Senate in
favor of bankrupt law, which, with single
exception, was opposed by the entire federal
party-showing the baneful influence. which the
spirit of the dominant faction exercises over To-
cal legislation; for no doubt, that, if the
bankrupt law had been a-measure of the admins
tration at Washington, the proposition would
have received the united support of their follow
ers at Harrisburg.
The Chronicle says:
EsIn the Senate, resolution was offered by
Mr.. Miller of Adams, authorizing the appoint
ment of select committee to inquire into the
expediency of authorizing the Governor, other
officer of the State to issue certificates of State
stock of the denomination of one dollar and up
wards, receivable in payment of debts due the
State, and for toll on the canals and rail roads.
After being discussed during two days, the reso-
" introduced a similar one, except that the GER
tifcates authorised by the latter resolution to
be redeemed at day certain, and not made re-
ceivable only for debts due and tolls This lat
ter is not yet disposed of.
EEAmongst the business which is expected to
occupy the attention of the Legislature, the fol-
lowing are included To repeal the resumption
bill; pass an Improvement bill; tax bill, and an
apportionment bill; all of which are very grand
subjects, and neither of them has yet been taken
up.0

NEW YORK, May, 81, 1910.

SION Capitalists are looking with anxious
eyes at the movements of the Pennsylvania Leg
islature which, contrary the hopes of the friends
of commercial enterprise, and their fondest expec
tations, have been so dlatory upon the prominent
subjects before them, as to create an nertness in
the financial world. The uncertain, underlined,
and precarious situation of Pennsylvania has
produced very depressing effect upon the stock
and money market of this city. The sales at the
Board to-day were very light, and with a sensible
decline in prices u. s. Bank fell per cent; N.
American Trust 8; Harlaem Rail Road + and
Delaware and Hudson4. There were no sales
of Exchange on the South. The rates on Balti-
more, may be quoted at "a to IS; and on Phila-
delphia at "a to 81 g.
There were few shares of Canton Co. stock,
sold at 25 and 25 ].
The meeting of the literati at Clinton Hall,
last evening, which had been assembled to take
into consideration the expediency, and the meas

friends of the scheme anticipate the most impor-
tant results from the undertaking.
Fanny Elssler appeared again last evening, to
more crowded and fashionable house than she
has yet been greeted with. Celeste is gaining

The Loco Office Holders State Conven-
tion was held here yesterday for the nominal
ton of Congress and Electoral Ticket, to
be voted for in November next. 1t was but
tame affair, the downcast and mournfu
looks of the leaders, told too plainly their in
ward thoughts and fears. The contrast was
great between their port and mein, from what
was on former occaSions.-They agreed to
support the five aSurperS, who now hold their
seats in Congress, not BY majority of the
plurality vote of Congress, consisting of many
who were duped to vote them their seats,
through the influence of FALSE statements,
aided by the PERJURY of Loco County

ncontestible evidence, that he had Sw0rn
0Lse) now come out with second aft
davit, and means all tother tcay, and says
he must have been mistaken in his first afi-
davit-no trifing mistake, truly But to the
Convention-they discarded their former old
riend, the Methodist Clergyman, the worthy
Manning Force, and placed in his stead P.
S. Kennedy, county clerk, of Warren coun-
ty. Senator Wall was here, and endeavored
to encourage them, by one of his character
istic, dull, dry, heavy, numbering speeches,
in which he made the round and positive as
sertion, that Van Buren, and his Cabinet
agreed friM great unanimity, or words tothat
effect. BUTT was all no co. he could not
raise the dropping spirits of the Convention,
and they separated, after selecting an Elec-
toral Ticket with the almost certain prospect
of Waterloo defeat, by the Jersey Wings

Great exertlohs had been made, secretly, to
outnumber the Wing Convention of the 9Th
of April which amounted to sir or eight thou

could only raise eight or nine hundreds instead

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENTS.

WASHINGTON, May IL
The Sub-Treasury bill has at last been taken
up, and Mr.. Atherton, having declined address
ing the House in its favor, Mr.. Cushing, of Mas
sachusetts, proceeded to examine it at length, by
moving to strike out the enacting clause. MIR.
c. is a very able and accomplished scholar and
statesman, and will probably occupy sometime
in dissecting the bill. Several of the admins
tration members intend making long speeches
on the subject, and it is thought sometime will
be spent in discussion. The general impression
is, that nothing but the Sub-Treasury, and Or
binary Appropriation bills will be acted on this
session. as all parties wish to go home. The
weather is warm and disagreeable, and many
members suffering from indisposition.
Mr.. Bells bill to prevent the interference of
office-holders with elections, was gagged off yes
terday afternoon, in order to bring up the Sub
Treasury. Mr.. Bell asked to be heard in reply
to some personal remarks of MIR. Brown, of Ten
nesee, but the permission was refused him.
In the Senate the Bankrupt bill still conti-
nues the subject of discussion, but nothing will
be done with it this session, the provisions of
the bill cannot be so fixed as to unite either par
ty in its support. There is nothing to do in the
upper House, however, but talking, and it may
as we'll be on one subject as another.
The chief Clerkship in the State Department
has been given to a son of the Secretary, or at
least, such is the rumor He is young gentle
man from Alabama, believe the city of Mo-
bile, where he edited an administration newspa-
per, and held the Office of District Attorney.
The Indian committee of the House are now
IN daily session, examining frauds perpetrated
by Government agents on the Winnebago tribe
of Indians. Nearly enc hundred witnesses have
been examined, and some disagreeable disclo-
sures will doubtless be made.
Mr.. Jones, the Chairman of the committee q
Ways and Means, is suffering under an attack
of bilious fever. MIR. Atherton, of New Hamp-
shire, is acting in his place, and is expected to
follow in reply to Mr. Gushing.
The Militia Committee, of which Mr. KERN,
of Pennsylvania, is Chairman, is expected to
make report shortly, exterminating Secretary
Poinsetts recommendation of standing Army.

has succeeded in finding the remains of the Re
publican, which was wrecked on the rocks of
Maingan on the 25th of December, 1894 The

taking: All the articles which may be recovered
are to be divided between him and the marine.
He has also landed a brass cannon weighing
about 10000 lbs. Mr.. Davey hopes to be able to
recover most of the brass guns of the ship, which
are said to be twenty-seven. This wilt be one
OF the most difficult and dangerous operations ever
undertaken by any diver, on account of the depth
