Financial Embarrassment of "tlie Coy
eynment.v
WASHINGTON, June Both Congress bav-
ing failed to pass the legislative, executive
and Judicial appropriation bill before the
beginning of the fiscal year TO which it is
to apply, the executive departments will
open tomorrow morning without funds
for the payment of any of their employees.
Under the provision of law which forbids
any department TO expend money in any
fiscal year IN excess of the appropriations,
or to Involve the Government in any con-
tract for the future payment of money in
excess OF the appropriations, it is question:
able whether the heads of departments
have the right to accept the services of
their employees with an understanding
that they are to be compensated
when the appropriations shall be made
However, under the accepted legal theory
that in general contracts there are no frac-
tions of day, it is held that no embarrass-
ment will follow the failure to pass the bill,
if the Senate, as it probably will, shall to-
morrow take up and pass the emergency
resolution passed by the House to-day, ex-
tending the appropriation of last year tenn
porarily. In this event, if the President
approves the resolution, it will bear the
date of July Ist, and will cover the services
rendered during that day, and thereafter
until its termination.

of the United States. The communication

he said Il heartily agree with every
word in it, and have no objection to my
position being known Another commu-
nicatiou from Representatives Little and
Butterworth was addressed to Senator
Hoar being upon the Payne investigation,
announcing the possession of information
pointing to the bribery Of members of the

ton of the nature of the information re-
ferred to.
SILK Culture in Mexico.
WASHINGTON, June 30th. - Consul-Ge
eral Porch has sent to the State Department
an elaborate account of silk culture in
Mexico. He SAYS it is believed that in the
next five years there will be more silk man
ufactured in Mexico than can be utilized
by the people. There are already several
factories. One of these manufactured last
year 10000 pounds of raw silk. They ex-
pect to produce all the different colors
which are used in the manufacture of silk.
The fact that labor is so cheap in that coun-
try, he says, enables the manufacturers to
make silk for one-half of what it costs in
Paris.
Pueblo Lands.
WASHINGTON, June 30th.-Attorney Love
has asked for thirty days in which to file
briefs in the San Francisco Pueblo land
case which has been granted. The other
attorneys will demand the same right, and
it will probably be some time before de-
cision will be reached.

I1AhklSbUhG, JuuG ODlll. -
Cooper called the Republican State Con-
vention to order at 10 o'clock in the Opera
House, which was packed with delegates
and spectators. Every delegation was pres
ent with full numbers, and there were no
contests. G. I. Oliver was elected tempo
rary Chairman by unanimous vote. Oliver,
in taking the chair, spoke of the enthusiasm
of the Convention, and addressed himself
to the tariff. He said: 1.-THE Republicans
of this great State should proclaim to the
world that we demand tariff, not for rev.
enue only, not even for revenue with Incl
dental protection. but for protection alone.
| mention this issue particularly, because
it is so interviewer with the prosperity of
our people that it is necessarily paramount
in the minds of all Pennsylvanians. The
fact that it remains unsettled is reason
enough for the continuance in life of any
party, but there are others second only to it
in importance. In the question of the mu-
tual right and duties of capital and labor,
the enactment of laws guarding the inter-
ests of common carriers and shippers =
these and other matters demand the atten-
ton of our Legislators, both State and ma
tional"
General Wagner, of Philadelphia, was
chosen permanent presiding officer, and
upon taking the chair, delivered a brief
speech. General Wagner announced as
the next business in order the nominating
of a candidate for Governor. Only one

mated for Lieutenant. Governor on the first

great detriment of American industry"
