HARRISBURG, March 9.-The Board OF
Psrdons adjourned this afternoon after having
been In session since Tuesday. Tho case which
perplexed the mem1-rs oftLe Board and caused
the protracted sitting was that OF Johnson, the
negro who stands convicted Of the murder OF
old man Sharr,iess In Delaware county. The
murder va committed several years ago. and
was particularly brutal. The evidence against
johnson was entirely circumstantial since
his conviction efforts have boon made to pro-
cure a pardon. or n Communication OF the oen-
tenco to Imprisonment for life. Tho dute for
the hanging. had been fixed and was postponed
In order that the Board Of Pardons might have
an opportunity to investigate certain testimony
said to have been discovered after the trial. Tho
result OF the inquiry was that the Board de-
clined to interfere. and justice will take It's
course. The feeling on the subject in Dela-
ware county IL intense. This county ls divided
between the friends and enemies OF the MUIR
derer. aud the contest Tor the nomination for
the Legislature is likely 10 be determined on
that issue. The present member, John Robin
son, Is counsel Tor Johnson. His opponent 10
the inst District attorney. under whose admin
f%strhtton the conviction was procured, Robin
BON It. supported by the QuaEers and the col.
pred voters. and his opponent. by those who
believe that johnson ought To be hanged. At
present Robinson seems to be ahead.
Among other Important decisions at to-day's
meeting OF the Board was The g%ranting Of .
Chicago millionaire, now serving II sentence in
the. Western nnnitentiary Tor manslaughter. Of

Washington had been practically nulli-
fed, and abrogated upon the refusal or
denial of the rights of American citizens
in Canadian ports. Upon this PROPOSE
ton there was division on
party lines, resulting in its defeat,
5 to 6. When the question
came up on ordering q favorable report
on the substitute bill, however, there
was not negative vote.
The Republican members do not ex-
pect that the bill will meet any opposi-
ton from their side of the House when
called up, although the proposition re-
jected to-day may be renewed and serve
as the basis of some speeches in which
the position will be taken that the
President already has sufficient power to
do what he desires in the way of re-

KICK AGAINST BENEDICT.
The Minority Report on the Public
Printing glnvestig alton.

WAsH1NGroN, August 30.--Representa-
tive Gallinger has completed his minority
report upon the result of the investiga-
ton of the Printing Committee of the ad-
ministration of Che Government Printing
Office. The report is bitterly critical of
the Public Printer Benedict and the ma
jority of the Committee. The report de-
fends Mr.. Rounds administration as hon
orable and conscientious and able, and
declares that enough violations of law
and evidences of ofincompetency have been
shown by the testimony to warrant the
immediate removal from Office of Mr..
Benedict.
A large part of the report treats of pri-
vate works done at the Government
Printing Office. Among other things it
is said that the testimony shows beyond
doubt that series of speeches made by
President Cleveland in various cities on
his famous trip in autumn of 1887, had
been printed in advance in the Govern
ment Printing Office, in clear violation OF
the law.
The Minority declare that for the first
time in the history of the Government
Printing Office. that vast workshop has
been turned into a political machine.
Men are being discharged solely because
they are Democrats.

to believ that after all with all the cries
OF runious national policy, the policy of
the development of this country, of max
ing it united country from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, the policy which enables
Canada to say: "We can live without
American railways and steamship lines;
we scan live in comparative comfort even
if the United States will not deal with us
or trade with us at all !" that all this is a
much better policy for this country than
to hand over its destinies to a people
to sacrifice them to their own political
interests.

REDUCED TIME TO NEW YORK.
The Southern Pacific Company has
completed a new time schedule, which
will 60 into effect September 9th, where
by the passenger trains leaving here
every afternoon, via Ogden for New York
will reach there in six days. The time
from New York to San Francisco will be
five and half days.
RATES ON FLOUR RAISED.
The rate on flour to China has been
advanced by the Pacific Mail and Occi-
dental and Oriental Steamship Com
panies. The change in the schedule
went into effect on the steamship
City of Sydney, which sailed to-day, and
hereafter freight rate of $5 ton will
be paid. During the hottest part OF the
fight between the old lines and the
Canadian Pacific the rate was as low as
$3.50 ton.
CHESTER INVESTIGATION.
The Local Inspectors of Steam Vessels
continued their investigation as to the
City of Chester disaster to-day. James
Ranker and R. Holhuter, keepers at Fort
Point and LimePoint lighthouse stvtions,
gave unimportant testimony. Louis Mey-
er, who was pilot on the Oceanic, said
the bay was light enough to let
him see from quarter to half mile
ahead. He said that the strong tide be-
tween Lime Point and Fort Point was
we'll known, and that Captain Wallace,
of the Chester, should have guarded
against it. The Captain replied that he
endeavored to do 80.

ID EEP WATER.
Shall Texas Have One or TW'
Deep Water HarbOrs?


DENVER, August 3O.-The Committee
on Resolutions of the Deep Water Con
vention was in session nearly all las
night and all this morning until 10 80
when Governor Thayer called the Con
work motion was adopted that after the
final adjournment of this Convention il
may be called together by majority oi
the Vice-Presidents, giving thirty days
notice, and that when the Convention
next meets it shall be at Topeka, Kansas
The Committee on Resolutions being
called for, Judge Hancock, of Texas, read
the majority report, which demanded the
establishment OF one deep water harboi
on the northwest coast of the Gulf oi
Mexico, and that all the Senators, Rep
resentatives and delegates in Congress be
requested to procure the necessary ap-
preparation to complete the work.
Senator Houston, of Texas, presented
the minority report, which, in substance,
urges Congaess to appoint board of en-
gineers to locate a harbor at the most
suitable point, and the adoption of all
necessary means to secure appropri-
ations to complete the work. The re-
port endorses the effort of private en-
terprise to secure a deep water
harbor on the Texas coast, and
pledges the influence of the Convention
to induce the Government to reimburse
persons engaged ih the enterprise. 1t
further approves the idea of securing
deep water at Arkansas Pass'by private
capital, and asks Congress for protection
in the prosecution OF the work and to
reimburse citizens engaged in it.
Ex-Governor Gibbs, of Texas, intro
duced resolution which was moved to
be adopted as a substitute for both.
After a short preamble, it urges upon
Congress the necessity OF two deep-water
harbors, one Oh the east and one on the
west coast of the Gulf, and asks Congress
to locate both and make the necessary
appropriations for their speedy comp ple-
ton. All were earnestly supported by
the gentlemen introducing them. The
merits of each grew SO warm that it ran
into personalities and for few moments
it seemed that the Convention would
break up in row. Governor Thayer
finally secured order and the Convention
adjourned until O'Clock.
1t reassembled at 8 o'clock and the
discussion on the majority and minority
reports lasted until midnight, when the
Convention adopted the majority report
and adjourned until IL tomorrow.
