HARR RG, March 20, 1912.
The business Of legislation is progressing but
tardily in the f" Cd Keystone" Most Of the pnb-
lie measures will be postponed until the extra ses-
sion, which has now been agreed for. The bill to
authorize thelBank of Penny to make an assign
meut for the benefit Of its creditors, passed the
Senate yesterday. A number Of propositions have
been brought before the Legislature for the pay
ment Of the domestic creditors of the State, but
none of them will be agreed to this session. They
generally contemplate the issue Of certificates Of
State stock, which, If authorized to be issued,
would never be received by the contractors.
Other propositions have also been made to provide
means of supporting the government by means of
an increase OF taxation, which meet with the
greatest disfavor by a majority of the members Of
both branches. As much public business as it was
thought would be brought before this Legislature,
nothing Of importance has been done, except the
passage Of the bill for resumption of specie pay
ments; AMI although this will not operate as bene.
6cially as was at first supposed, the work of pur-
CATION is going on, and with proper care We may
vet have something like a healthy Banking sys-
TEN.
The committee appointed to investigate the
charges which had been made az to improper and
corrupt means being used to procure legislation,
by thefoficers and others eted with the late
United States Bank have DC able lkus far to eli
cit nothing of moment They have proved that
large sum Of money had been entrusted by the Bank
to George Handy OF Philadelphia, to be used as
would best subserve the interests Of the in
stitution !; but, upon bringing Mr.. Handy before
the committee to give evidence, he refused
either to be sworn or to testify at all. The
The consequence was, his cool reply was re-
ported to the Hoase, when a resolution was
adopted, authorising the Speakerto issue his war
rant, requiring him 10 appear at the bar of the
House and be sworn On yesterday morning he
was accordingly arraigned, when he peremp:oriy
refused to be sworn, but handed to The clerk a
paper containing his reasons, but which were in
fact no reasons at all lie was then permitted TO
be heard either by himself or counsel, why he
should not be committed for contempt OF the
House. After which, by a resolution Of the body,
he wa. committed to the custody Of the Sergeant
at Arms, and ordered to be confined IN the North
Committee Room of the Capitol, until further ac-
ton by the Legislature lie now, therefore, en-
sconced,in comfortable quarters, directly over The
hall of the House.

House the other night, and was, without exeep-
t;on the most ridiculous affair ever attended. In
