account OF the expense. wa K l.
Another source OF anxieiy 10 the leaders
arises from the growing disposition in
many counties to demand the hauling down
OF the entire ticket and the calling OF an
entirely new convention, which shall be
elected according to the new party rules,
and nominate an entirely new set Of can
didates. The regular county conventions
in Crawford and the county committee in
Tioga have already passed resolutions de-
this course and 1t is confidently
expected several others will do the same
thing shortly. In the meantime the Indie
pendent forces are organizing in various
parts OF the State aud the movement Is
daily increasing In momentum and volume.

icials say that the surplus OF receipts over
expenditures for the past year will foot up
in the vicinity Of Il million dollars. There
is large clement in Congress who argue
that the department has no right to be self
sustaining, or, at least, be made source OF
revenue to the government. In anticipa-
ton OF the fact that the years operations
will disclose a margin OF receipts over cx-
penditurcs number OF bills are pending
looking to a reduction OF the cost OF postage
to the public. Among these are one or two
to reduce letter postage to two cents, TO
abolish postage Oh second class matter, and
to introduce the secret message card, which
would take the place Of short letters and
cost one cent. The Postmaster General is
understood to be favorable to some kind Of
reduction. but lie is opposed by many OF
the other officials OF the department. { As
congressman are getting in hurry TO 60
home, it is not at all certain that anything
will be done this session. 55 3, ( i ss, 8. n

TIRED or TINIfEKING.
The anxiety OF fC0n.rcSsimcn to Wind Up
ilya Legislation and Go Home.


WASHINGTON, June l3.-The torrid
weather Of the last two days has caused
members OF Congress 10 think seriously on
the subject OF adjournment. They are all
talking now OF attending 10 the necessary
and more important matters oi legislation
us quickly rs possible and then shutting up
shop for the season. The appropriation
bills will, OF course, all have to be passed.
The House is nearly through considering
the legislative bill and only part OF day
will be required finally dispose ofit. There
remains yet to be considered the river and
harbor, the naval and the sunlry civil
bills. II no other legislation interviewed
these could NIL very easily be ont Of the
way in two weeks more, and, making due
allowance ior NIL Interruptions, three weeks
ought TO be ample time for the considerl.
ton and final disposition OF all pending
appropriation bills. This would enable
Congress to adjourn before the Fourth OF
July. Said u prominent member Of the
Republican steering committee to-day:
slf we were rs ncar the ;4,h OF March At
the close OF the Congress rs we now are the
Fourth OF July, we would passall the appro-
priation bills now before us aud then have
plenty OF time besides. The trouble in
Congress never condcnses much work in
the same time during the long session as
well rs it does during the short one"
There arc measures which it is generally
conceded ought TO pass this session. o.
these specially is the bill to extend the
charters OF national banks, which has al
ready passed the House and is pending i'll
the Senate. An extended debate is expect
ed when the Senate considers it, and !
will probably be amended i'll several I'M
portant particulars. Then a very strons
pressure is being made for the passage o
| ihe bill reducing nginternalrevcnue Notwith

understood that Mr.. Kelley will, as soon, u
an interval occurs in the consideration o
appropriation bills, insist upon taking VI
, his bill. Although it appears from th
proceedings Of the last Republican caucu

giving review OF the business OF the year.
Since the meeting on Brighton Beach, he
sad the ethics OF the profession had been
discussed more than ever before; that nu-
me,Ous great conventions on both sides Of
,be i,hntic !,ad turned their attention to
he progress OF science. and the illness Of
Prsilent Garfield had led to a
Tery extended consideration OF the
Gains OF homeopathy. The tendency
bad been to demand IN accurate science
saa the better equipment OF colleges and
libraries, and the recent developments OF
practice had made the mostaccnrite school
oi medicine its success, resulting i'll the
generalization OF the Allopathic school.
Many a!lopatliists l,ad, he said, abandoned
the practice Of medicine and taken up
the more definite science OF surgery,
thus becoming sanitariuns or practlcing
according to no system. He referred
to the existence in the old school of a
liberal element that was willing to work
with homeopatists and TO that element he
extende,! the hand OF friendship. He
mentioned also that the public hospitals
were opening their doors to homeopathists
TO practice nlong side Of old school physi-
clans, and noted this marked degree OF the
advance that had been made. X

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June l3.-Tllc action
Of the Western iron manufacturers at

to resis, union dictation, puts new phase
onthe fight, and has hardened prices.
Consumers have hurried in their inquiries
by mail and telegraph, and manufacturers
are asked to accept summer delivery
orders ut current rates. Customers le.
quirements will be met first, and orders
beyond thirty days taken only in special
eases from any source. The market is
ieyerisll, and M advance is regarded
probable. Some orders were declined on
Saturday at &c ior bars. Stores are firm
at99.7c. The trade is watching the move
ment at Cincinnati to get the men at work,
and the effort ut Cleveland to start with
noa.lnion men. The expectation here is
tha, enough mills will be started west OF
Pittsburgh to somewhat loc.llize the strike,
and thus viye Pittsburgh better chance
TO light it out than it could have with
oterone hundred mills and over. two thou-
sand padding furnaces idle. Foundry pie
