Reayer Takes SIT Coo,,v.

HARRIsBURG, Pa, March 2S.-Gov-
ernor Beaver was at his desk in the Ex-
ecutive Department at the usual hour
this morning. He smiled at the refer
ence to yesterdays affair in Washington.

know that he must quit that sort of
thing. The letter sent to me by Armes
was scurrilous and took no notice of

the letter written by Armes was referred
to the Adiutant- General.

The Northern Pacific arrangement.

New York, March 2S.-The Exc cutive
Committee of the Northern Pacific met
again to-day for further consideration of
the proposition to operate the Wisconsin
Central road under traffic agreement.
The original proposition was rejected
and a new one, considerably modified,
substituted. This was discussed for sew
eral hours to-day and then forwarded to
the executive officers of the two COM
panies to be further changed. The Com
mittee then adjourned until next week.
1t is stated that the proposition now be-
ing considered is entirely different from
the one first made, and that if any agree
ment is made with the Wisconsin Central
it will be just as beneficial to the North
ern Pacific as to the Wisconsin Central
and will not be one sided. 1t is also
officially stated that the interest of the
lines competing with the Northern Pacific
will be carefully considered, and that
any agreement reached will be of such a
character as to meet the appreciation Of
competing lines.

The ecclesiastical color Line.

BALTIMORE, March 28.-A Charleston,
s. c., special to the San sun says: The
report Of the committee appointed by the
South Carolina diocesan convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, to try
and arrange settlement of the color
question, which led to the secession of
nearly all the Charleston churches two
years ago, recommends a compromise.
which proposes to admit such colored
clergymen to the convention as have
been in connection with the church for
twelve months prior to May 18th. It
also proposes separate congregations for
the colored churches under the ministra-
ton of Bishop. No provision is made
for the admission of colored lady dele

The Possibilities of the New Indus
Iry ia this Country.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The report
of the President and Treasurer of the
Women's Silk Culture Association of the
United States for the pact year to the
Commissioner of Agriculture has been
printed. Mrs. John Lucas, the Presi-
dent, says that to an intelligent observer,
rapid progress in this industry would
seem improbable. Orchards of mulberry
trees must be grown to perfection that
will admit of the liberal picking of the
leaves before the first real start can be
given to the industry. During the past
few years much of the work has been of
desultory character, yet leading to good
results, and inasmuch as that even with
a few trees the people have been learn
ing to reel cocoons and tree planting is
becoming systematized part of the effort.
The United States could, in a very short
time, raise not only its own
silk, but much more, and when
this was accomplished, at least
$50, ZOO, 600 per annum would be gained.
Yet, for the protection of a few, a hue
and cry is raised against this new indus
try, although there is no reason, climatic,
mechanical or otherwise, why it could
not be successfully planted. The report
of the Treasurer, Mrs. III. II. Taylor,
shows that during the year nearly $500
pounds of cococns were bought of 16S
persons in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New
York, North Carolina. Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, South Carolina, Virginia and West
Virginia. There were distributed 1856
mulberry trees to nineteen States as fol-
lows Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachu-
setts, Michigan, Missouri, New York,
North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsyl
vania, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia

THE Board of Education has informally.
through conference of its sub-commit.
tees, agreed to ask the Council to call an
election on the question of issuing
$780, 900 worth of bonds for the purpose
of increasing the school accommodations
of this city. The condition of the schools
IN Los Angeles imperatively demands
the contemplated improvements. There
are now eixty-six classes in this city on
balf-time tuition, and the increase Of
school children during the past year
has been two thousand five hundred.
1t is evident from these facts that
the city is not, and has not been for the
past year, performing its duty towards
the school children. 1t is proposed to
increase the facilities of the department
by adding ffty-fve class rooms to it's
present accommodations. This will ac-
commodate the increase of scholars and
afford every class full time in the school.
The Board is evincing commendable
energy in its work, and it will have the
public at its back in its determination
to carry out the improvements outlined.

The Senate, after trotting along finely
for several weeks in the Harrison har-
ness, has all at once become balky. The
of Murat Halstead to the
German mission seems to have brought
that body into recalcitrant mood.
After confirming everybody, from White
law Reid to Wolfey, it draws the line at
Murat. This action of the Senate would
the public if the reason for it
had not leaked out. 1t is personal en-
tirely. 1t seems that Editor Halstead
made uncomplimentary illusions to some
of the Republican Senators because they
voted against the investigation of the
election of Senator Payne three
years ago. The dignity of these
gentleman was ruflled by Murat's heroic
newspaper treatment of them. He is to
be punished because, as the editor of a
great newspaper, he pursued a policy
which was deemed in the interest of the
public. The recalcitrant Republican
Senators will take nothing by this course.
They do not stand on high ground. They
do not oppose the confirmation of his
nomination because he is not equal to
the duties of the mission or fit nominee,
but because he had the manly in
dependence as an editor to severely crit
icise their action in matter of great
public concern. Mr.. Halsted can better
afford to lose the place than the Senators
can afford to keep him out on such mar
row personal grounds.

New YORK, March 2S.-The following
telegram, sent to-day, explains itself:
Hon. Benjamin Harrison, President o.
the United States, WaehjngtOn, ID. c.:
The Committee on the Centennial Gel
ebration of the Inauguration of George
Washington as President of the United
States, respectfully ask that you issue a
proclamation calling upon clergvmen to
hold a special service Of thanksgiving
in the churchas throughout the country
at o'clock on the morning OF April Both,
at the same hour at which services were
held in the churches in this city on the
morning OF Washington's inauguration
one hundred years ago. The clergymen
of New York, through special commit
tee, have issued an address TO the clergy
men of the United States, suggesting
that religious services be held similar to
the services held on April so, 1889. Our
committee would respectfully ask you,
inasmuch as the day is national holi-
day, to suggest in your proclamation
that the day be made memorial through
out the United States by the decoration
of buildings, display of fireworks and
meetings of patriotic citizens.

THERE has been considerable astonish-
ment manifested at the sudden change
OF front of several prominent gentlemen
in the southern part of the county who
had placed themselves strongly on record
as opposed to county division. At least
one of these gentlemen publicly an
nounced his opposition to county division
in speeches on the stump during the last
campaign. How has this change been
brought about? We dislike to accept
the current explanation that they have
yielded to the Establishments of the Sc
ceders because they have been assured
of official preferment in the new county ii
they will exert their recognized influence
in favor OF division among the people
in the Anaheim region. The scheme of
separation requires votes to carry it
through, and men who can influence
votes, and who have been in opposition,
have been placated by some mysterious
process. Ii the promise of Office has
worked the conversion, it is very likely
that the goods will not be delivered to
them; for, should division take place,
there would not be enough offices to &c
round among those who have made an
active fight from the start. Should these
new converts find that they are "left'
when the places are distributed, if that
time ever come, they will have to bear
their griefs alone, without sympathy
fro m any quarter.

to- day as part OF the committees report.
Secretary Fairchild, in a letter dated
January 18th last, transmitting the Treas
ury Commissioners report, says: The
commissioners has reported to him, from
time to time, recommendations which he
has caused to be put into operation some
OF which had been adopted by the bureau
officers of their own motion. The Senate
Committee endorses the several recon-
mendations of the commission.
There is a great deal of useles and un-
necessary red tape in the dispatch Of
certain work, the War Department Com
missioner SAYS, and by way of illustra-
tration states that one specified case was
handled by the officers and clerks Sc
venty-six times and, inclu ling the mes
senger service, ninetv-four times. In
reference to this case, the report says; :;
"With all due Difference, it does seem to
the committee that IL the transaction
and disposition of this item Of business it
has passed through too many hands and
through the same hands too often, and
that there have been too many entries,
records and notations and too much val
liable time and labor consumed and ex-
pended, and that much simpler and
shorter system could be devised which
would be equally accurate and consume
much less time and cause much less ex-
penditure of labor"
The committee in the conclusion of its
report says that while it has not accom-
plished all that it desired, yet it hopes
that the good work already begun will be
more successfully and perfectly carried
out by the standing committees of the
Senate on "the organization, conduct
and expenditures of executive depart
ments" recently created.

ALL the plans and preliminary work
for our internal sewer system and the
outfall to the sea ought to be submitted
to the Council and passed upon finally
in few weeks. In the meantime the
legal aspects of the question ought to be
carefully investigated and settled. If
the work can be carried out inside the
city under the provisions of the new
Charter there will be smooth sailing.
But if this is found unadvisable, and it
has to be prosecuted under the Vrooman
act, difficulties will arise in the adjust
ment of the assessments that will cause
vexatious delays. The Council, how
ever, should keep hammering at the
matter until they have it in practicable
shape, and then go ahead with the work.
The sewer improvements alone will give
employment to a large force of men,
and the money spent will return
into the channels of trade and
create an era of activity that will do
much to tide us over the reactionary
period of depression. A better feeling is
now manifested in business circles, and
transactions in realty are gradually in
creasing. By next fall our city and
county will have entirely recovered from
the setback consequent upon the
era of over-speculation, and a
period of healthtul prosperity will
be fairy entered upon. The ex-
ceptionally heavy crops OF this season will
do much to attract outside attention to
our productive capacity and renew the
demand for our very inviting lands. Our
next boom will be based upon the nat
ursl and not the forced growth of our
country in population, and the
increase Of her productive acre
age-upon the steady development
OF her material and manufacturing
resources, and upon the constant ac-

CHICAGO, March 2S.-Superintendent
Crocker, of the Chicago, Santa Fe and
California Railway, was notified this
morning Of an attempt to wreck the
west-bound limited train on that road
near Chillicothe, ILL.,, last night. Ties
were piled upon the track. Fortunately
the pilot of the engine threw them from
the rails without derailing the engine or
train. The limited is generally we'll

officials of the Santa Fe are inclined to
think that robbery was the motive.

THE Hon. Henry A. Watterson, editor
in-chief of the Louisville Courier-Journal,
seems to have established himself in
Washington as claqueur of the Harri-
son administration. Gobs of his contri-
buttons, laudatory of Harrison and his
appointees, are being telegraphed over
the country by the Associated Press as if
they had any more significance than
those of any other man who happens to
be an editor. Unfortunately for Presi-
dent Cleveland, almost the only Demo-
cratic editor he had anything to do with
during his administration was MIR. Wat
terson. Prior to that gentleman's ad-
vent in Washington, in the winter of
1887, Mr.. Cleveland had a walk-over as
his own successor. Both women and
men liked him and children cried for
him to continue in the White House, and
he was booked to get the votes OF every
State in the Union, except Vermont,
Kansas, Iowa and perhaps Massachu-
setts, until the cabal of which Mr.. Wat
terson was the chief, began to clamor for
outright free trade, which turned the
current away, to the discontinue
of the Democracy and of Mr.. Cleveland's 3
judicious friends. President Harrison
owes Mr.. Watterson deep debt of graft
tude, and the wonder is that that gentle
mans name does not figure in the list as
the appointee to some important public
mission. His services TO the Republi-
can party, although of course not so in
tended, were simply of incalculabIe
value. Still it looks to a man up a
tree as if he should be a little less
efusive in acclaiming the individual he
did SO much to make President. Demo-
Gratis are lite restive over the antics of
the brilliant but erratic Louisville editor.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Fisrt AS
sistant Postmaster General Clarkson
was questioned to-day concerning
certain newspaper criticisms directed
against his policy in the appointment of
fourth-class postmasters. In answer, he 4,
said that practically all of the changes,
thus far, have been made for other than
political reasons. A large number of
appointments made during the last ad-
ministration was bad. A considerable
number had been found to be delinquent
in their accounts. Other changes had
been made in order to secure
better projections for the offices, and
in many cases the appointments had
been made with a view to the removal,
OF the offices from the vicinity of saloons.
In every case of removal there had been
good and sufficient cause therefor. per
haps," he added, ''it is not generally
known that my predecessor, within q
m onth or six weeks prior to March 4th,
made ovet thousand appointments of
| fourth-class postmasters for the purpose,
apparently, of forcing them upon this
| Administration. This course has not
been pursued, to my knowledge, by any
previous Administration. During the
last several weeks of President Arthur's
term, not a single fourth-class post
master was appointed, except, in rare
instances, where the exigencies of the
service demanded it.; and when Post
master Hatton resigned, there were
more than 5000 designations on file in
his office. The commissions of thous-
