When the Illinois House Of Rap
resentatives met on Friday morning
Mr.. Haines, who was elected tempora
ry Speaker, but who declares himself
permanent Speaker, said "he had q
constitutional duty TO perform, and in
pursuance of 1t would instruct the door
keeper to notify the Senate that the
Honse was regularly organized, and
would proceed at 10 o'clock to canvass
the returns of State officers" Mr..
Fuller Republican, moved that the
House direct the doorkeeper not to con-
vey the communication. Haines ruled
the motion out of order, and Fuller
appealed from the ruling. Mr.. West,
democrat, said that "a paper signed by
Mr.. Haines, AZ Speaker, was an illegal
document. If Mr.. Haines wanted a
revolution he (West) was in favor of
opposing him by revolution. Mr..
Haines should proceed to a permanent
organization and save the taxes of the
people" Mr.. Haines called a mem ber
to the Chair and said that "if he had
done wrong the penitentiary was open
for him. He said that Governor
Hamilton had threatened to prorogue
the Legislature II the House adjourned
over until Monday" The debate was
continued for some time.

| PITrSRURG, Pa, Jan. 16.-It iB ex
pected that next Tuesday Oliver Bros
& Phillips will make formal statemen,
Of their affairs. The firm says that II
! will make the statement to its creditors
first and TO the public afterwards, and
no information can be had until Tues
day afternoon, when the figures will be
submitted. The indications are that
the liabilities of the firm will reach
from 81, 900, 900 to 90. .000, 900; $1,000, 900
being the sum generally given by those
connected with financial institutions.
| A very large proportion of this sum Is
secured by collateral of various kinds,
| and IL held by banks
Pittsburg banks hold considerable OF
| this paper, but it Is nearly all well
secured. Banks in various parts of the
| country, East and West. also hold the
paper. Eastern financial Institutions
have large blocks. Considering the
extent of the firms business but a com.
paratively small amount of the weight
of the suspension falls upon Pittsburg' y
shoulders. 1t is stated officially that
several of the corporations owned more
or less by the firm, bur doing separ
ate business, will not ASK for AL OK Ten.
sion. This no doubt includes he Il Is.
Scott x Co. Barbed Wire Works and
the Standard Nut Works
One of the contributory causes of the
suspension doubtless was the heavy
loss suffered by the firm on n contract
for pipe which was made with a min
ing company In California. This pipe
was made and shipped to California,
where it was all condemned. The un-
secured debts of the firm represent, 1t is
said, about one-half of its liabilities,
and these are largely owing to furnace
ore companies.
As the secured creditors are largely
interested in the local banks, AMI the
banks are generally willing to agree to
an extension, there Is no doubt that the
assent of the unsecured creditors will be
obtained. The Woods Run and South
Side mills of the firm are all in opera
ton to- day. At Woods Run mill
full set of bands was at work at reduc-
ed wages. On the South Side many Of
those who had refused to work at the
reduction offered went back 10 work
this morning.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Jan. 16.-Sec-
retary James M. Swank, OF the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel Association, said to-
day. 81 do not look tor any failure in
the Eastern iron trade az all outcome of
the failure of Oliver Brothers 81 Phillips
of Pittsburg. The Philadelphia makers
have no business relations with the
Pittsburg manufacturers. The two
trades are quite distinct. We do not
send iron there and they do not send
iron here. Tie failure, however, must
have dispiriting effect upon the iron
business generally, and how far that
will go is n question which l cannot
answer. 1t comes at particularly bad
time. This throws everything back
where il was before, and we see that
after all the bottom has not yet been
reached"
This afternoon circular was isued |
by Oliver Brothers & Phillips Jointly |
with the other firms in which they are
prin cipals. 1t was addressed to their |
creditors, asking them to be patient
and to attend a creditors meeting:to be
held Tuesday, january 20.

A telegram from Utica, New York, re-

IN ade into the recent death of William
Druse, at that place Frank Yates,
the nephew, whose age is fourteen, has

the crime was committed on Decsm Der
