COanIy.

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 9.-The gov
ernor, after an interview with the COM
mittee from Hszleton, sent the follow
ing telegram:
W p. KirkendaIl, Sheriff OF Luzerne county,
WtlkeSbarre, Pennsylvania:
A committee composed of Richard
Sylvester, of Eagle; J. G. Fiuaher and
Charles Shutter, of Hazieton: Hugh
M'Garvey, of Beaver Meadow; and Jno.
Brady, of Harley, representing citizens
and miners, have to-day visited me and
represented that the reports about
the alleged disturbances in the
vicinity OF Hazleton are exaggerated
and many of them false, and have de-
clared that If the troops were withdrawn
they and other citizens, and the miners
associations whom they represent, will
Obligate themselves to keep the peace;
that if necessary they will pledge them
selves to supply three hundred citizens
to aid in maintaining order il disturb
ances occur; and they, for the citizens,
miners benevolent and other assoOia-
tiOns, will enter in solemn
agreement that what Is known as
"dead-wOrk" at the mines will
not be inteffeTed with, and parties will
ing to do such work at said mines will
not be prevented from so doing. We
therefore ask that, in the interest of law
and order, you will at once proceed to
Hazleton and make q thorough investi-
cation as to the alleged disturbances and
the disposition of the miners to preserve
order, and if you are satisfied that such
a disposition exists, that the gentlemen
who to-day made the representations
to me are able to keep with the
miners the pledges they make,
for them, and that the citizens will aid |
you if there is any further turbulent de-
monstrations, and then, after these
guarantees are sOlemnly made in writ |
ing, you will please so inform me that |
the troops may be withdrawn.
JOHN T. HARTRANFT, Governor.
Sheriff Kirkendall at once replied |
that he would proceed to Hazleton to- |
morrow, in compliance with the gov
ernor's request. 1t is hoped the confer
ence may lead to solution of the |
troubles in Luzerne county. The gov
ernor tonight directed the adjutant-
general to proceed to Hszleton and be
present at the conference.

CARDINAL M'CLOSKY.
His Credentials OBcialIy Presented
The Ceremony OF Announce
menI, and the Cardinals
Reply.

NEW YORK, April 8.-Yesterdsy
Count Marefoschi fulfilled the mission
entrusted to him by the Holy See of an
nOuncing officially to Archbishop
M'Closky that the Holy Father had
been pleased to confer on him the title
and elevate him to the rank of cardinal
of the Holy Roman church. A NUMBER
of clergy and laity were invited to wit
ness the ceremony, including Fit.
Rev. Bishop M'Closky, of Louisville.
The count, after presenting credentials
from Cardinal AntOnelli, written
in italian, read brief address
in Latin, to which the new cardinal
responded in the same language.
Mons. Roncetti, bearer of the 6erdtd
from the pope, made an address in
French, in which he said that the 'tele-
walton of the archbishop to the cardinal
ate was no more than q fitting recOgni-
ton of the position that this country
rightfully assumes among the nations of
the world, not merely because OF the
wonderful movements Of commerce, of
invention, and Whatever regards mate
rial progress which it displayed, but also
because all these things are far from en-
crossing the minds of this people to the
exclusion Of the interests of religious
and moral order" Cardinal M'ClCsky
replied in French. The cardinal pri-
vately signified his choice of April 22d as
the day for the public ceremony of re.
eeiviDg the 6erettd intrusted to Mons.
ROncetti.

In New York Thursday an argument
took place 10 the United States district
court on the ha6eGS corpus writ obtained
by Charles A. Dana to prevent him
from being carried to Washington as q
witness in the criminal court o. the Dis
trict of Columbia. Mr.. Bartlett, OF the
counsel for Mr.. Dana, after handing his
points to the judge, and before the be-
ginning of his argument, read the
subpoena calling on Mr.. Dana
to appear before the criminal
court on the twenty-ninth day Of
March, to testify in behalf of the United
States, and said: at does not state in
what year Dana is to appear before the
court. Our view OF it is that he may ap-
pear on the twenty-ninth of March Of
any year he sees fit, and he has selected
the twenty-ninth Of March succeeding
the fourth of March after our next Pres
ident is elected, as he thinks by that
time the malaria OF that climate may
have been removed"

tor. II you gentlemen, who have de-
termined that did get the sum and so
published il TO the world, had asked me
about it, you would have been shown
that neither / nor any other officer had
ever received il.
Mr., Fisher said that they had called
him in pursuance with the report Of the
finance committee and to talk of the
matter Of which We thought you cog
infant, for with the committee you had
talked upon the subject. No one thinks
that any money has been misapplied
by you, but the finance committee don't
agree with your idea In infringing on
one fund 10 pay another. That is the
question. All this committee wish to
do Is to investigate and report to the
council upon the charge of the commit
tee. We, however, are not the finance
committee.
Mr.. Loague-I am satisfied Of this. |
do not wish to have gentlemen think
that / say one thing and do another. l
have a statement in writing, which
would like 10 read to you, as ] am conf
dent that it will satisfy you upon the
subject.
Some objection was raised as TO the
reading OF this statement. After some
deliberation Mayor League was permit
ted to read his statement, which Is as
follows:
