PERHAPS FOR PRESIDENT.
POSSIBLE MEANING OF THE CLEAN
SWEEP IN STATE OFFICES.
Pattison May Be Making an Effort to Con-
troll the Delegation to the Democratic
National Convention of 1S92-The Cos
sip of the Capital.
rrRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT, ,


HARRISBURG, Feb. 1.-Governor Patti
SON is believed by good many persons to
be a candidate in earnest for the Presidency
in 1892. Considerable significance attaches
10 the clean sweep now being made in the
State Department by Mr.. Harrity, Patti
sons Secretary of the Commonwealth. 1t
is being done under the direction of the
Governor. Not a single Republican
clerk or deputy is to be left in the
Commonwealth, Adjutant General or At
tornev General and Insurance Department.
Two and three of these are replaced by
Democrats each day. As rapidly as the
terms of the more important officials, ap-
pointed by Governor Beaver for period of
years, expires, they too will be ousted and
their places given to the unterrifed. No
secret is made of this. Secretary Harrity has
let his intentions be we'll known.
1.-THE meaning of all this" remarked a
far-sighted politician to whom I was talk
ing, sis that Pattison is reaching out for
the Pennsylvania delegation to the Demo-
cratic National Convention. By judiciously
distributing this patronage he can please
most all, if not all, elements and factions of
his party. Think what largely increased
patronage he would have had at his
disposal had the Democratic scheme in the
Senate at the beginning of the session this
year succeeded. That. you remember. was
to hold over the appointments of Beaver
until Pattison took hold and then refuse to
confirm them. The secret of that conspiracy
was to throw out as many Of Beavers APP
pointments as possible and aid Pattison's
Presidential plans. But bad management
spoiled that. Yet as it is. the public is al
ready commenting upon what vast change
is noticeable in Pattison's two sdministra-
tions. They used to say he was not a full-
fedged Democrat because he did not sur
round himself with Democratic forces. He
is certainly not open to that charge this
time, for the clean sweep was commenced at
the beginning and goes on"
Another man, member Of the Senate,
said Pattison devoted some attention In his
inaugural address to the need Of civil SER

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Committee
on Invalid Pensions of the House, which
has been investigating Pension Commits
sioner Raum, will make its report early next
week. The testimony taken covers over 500
pages Of printed matter. Chairman Morrill,
says that the majority can make but one re-
port, and that is to exonerate General Raum
from the serious charge of having used his
official position to further the schemes of q
refrigerator company of which he is the
President Mr.. Morrill, says that of course
to suspicioua man there was reason to
think that General Raum had acted in
corrupt manner, but out of all the testi-
monv that had been taken there had not
been found one single word of damaging
evidence.
The minority report, however. will be
very severe arraignment of Commissioner
Raum, charging him with running the
refrigerator company and the Pension
Bureau as a joint mutual benefit concern
and with having used his personal efforts
and his influence as public official to at
tempt to defeat the reelection OF Representa-
tive Cooper, who has been the chief
prosecutor in the investigation.

NEW GAME LAWS PROPOSED.
The Heron Hill Gun Club Comes Out Wit
a Cuaapipp RiIl

The Heron Hill Gun Club Comes Out With
Sweeping Bill
The Heron Hill Gun Club is made mp of
a number of gentlemen who are hustlers in
anything they undertake to do. They are
at all times alive to their interests as honor
able and humane sportsmen, and also to the
interests of the community at large. They
have determined to make big effort toward
the reformation of the game laws in this
State, and to show that they mean business,
they have lawyer now engaged drafting a
bill providing for sill the desired changes in
the laws The bill Will be presented to the Leg
islature this session, and there are very strong
hopes that 1t will become a law.
The bill will provide for some very sweeping
changes. One is to make the opening of the
season for killing the various kinds of game
uniform. At present the season for one class
of game opens on one date, and the season for
another kind of game opens on diff erent day.
1t is claimed that this permits a large amount
of illegal killing of game, as many people who
60 to hunt game that is in season shoot other
kinds of game that are not legally in season,
thus spelling the shooting prospects generally.
If a day is selected on which all classes OF game
come into season at once. it is argued that the
evils above referred TO will be abolished. There
is much force in the contention.
Another provision of the bill is that each
dealer who offers game for sale when out OF
season in this State must swear that each piece
of game thus offered for sale Is from another
State. 1t is contended that this requirement
will tend to abolish the illegal shooting of quail
and other game in this State.
Poachers, according to the bill, are to be
dealt with in an emphatic manner. The bill
asks that it be penal offense for any man to
be caught in field or any hunting place at any
time with ferret IN his possession. There is a
true sportsmanlike ring about this provision,
and doubtless all lovers of fair and honest field
sports will heartily support it.
The bill gives every inducement to people to
try and discover violators of the law. An in
former is to be rewarded with half the fine i'm
posed on each man convicted. 1t is thought
that this will prompt hundreds Of people to in
terest themselves in seeing that all violators
Will be brought to Justice.
As already intimated. the Heron Hill Club
has not gone into the matter in a half-hearted
way. They mean to go ahead in the prosecu-
tion of their programme with all the vigor they
can command. 1t seems to be the unanimous
opinion of all who are interested in the protec-
tion of game that the present laws must be re-
formed, and the parties who are now about to
ask for the change have confidence that it Will
be granted

If anything was needed to
prove this machinery to be the
oil mans favorite and the best

all that is necessary. We sold
nearly 400 Cory boilers in the

pieces as the years output.
The "Ajax" engine is the
strongest, quickest and most
economical engine ever built,
and the Cory boiler is the
largest, strongest, best con-

have a large stock of all sizes
of engines and boilers, together
with engine and boiler parts

rPxoTkL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. ALLEN W. Thur
man, President of the American Assocla-
tion, states that the National Board, con-
sisting of j. Il. r odgers, of Philadelphia,
L. C. Kranthoff, of Kansas City, and him
self have agreed upon a plan which will
elevate players in the profession and In pri-
yate character in and off the field. Hereto
fore the private or personal character OF
ball PLAYER, however good or unexceptional,
had little or no bearing upon the price set
for his services, his record on the diamond
alone governing managers.
So that it has come to pass that men have
been purchased at steep figures on their rec
ords, given In tsbulated form in the book, who
turned out anything but valuable acquisitions.
As general thing, with notable exceptions,
this class are record players Thatl is,
They Play for Position
in the guide book, and accept no chances, un-
less dead sure ones, on the field.
THE rule" said Mr.. Thurman, ''is this:
Every month each manager of club hles with
our board private report containing full
personal history of every player in his club.
This history shall detail his habits, temperate
or the reverse; his obedience, tracta6illty etc;
and his department on the diamond. Inc record
as usual, kept by the official scorers will also
be filed. The advantages resulting to the ma
tional game from the enforcement of this rule,
among Others are: First-Managers or pro-
prietors OF clubs desiring information other
than the tabulated record of the guide book
about any player they may be contemplating
signing can obtain full, complete and reliable
information from the National Board, not only
as to the players ability on the field, but also
his personal habits. department, etc. Second
The player has the reciprocal advantage, IL ne
is qualified and worthy man, of
An Official Send-Of,
which must IN the nature OF the case. enhance
his value and enable him to command the high
est price paid. Third-The player who is a
gentleman has this further advantage, that
should he become enfeebled, old, too stiff or
Incapacitated in any way from playing further
ball, he can draw upon the National Board for
a certificate of character. recommendation, or
even its influence to help him secure the means
of livelihood.
THE National Board has the power of in
hictIng fines upon managers who fail to report
or give false Information in their reports. Be-
Sides you see the board also appoints the Of
fetal scorers and it is not at all improbable
that besides these disinterested officials there
will be present, when the managers least sus-
pect reporters of the board who will notify us
promptly of any neglect on the managers part
The board cannot be imposed upon 1t will, at
the outset, take effectual measures to prevent
anything of the kind"

The Coldest Weather of the season in the
Northwest.
rPREPARED FOR THE DIsPArcH.1
The storms IN the Mississippi Valley united
and moved northeast and the joint storm was
central yesterday in Maine, without having
greatly increased in energy. Heavy rain fell
in the Eastern lake region, Pennsylvania. New
York and New England. 1t was showing in the
northern lake region and in the ST. Lawrence
Valley. The cold wave lowered the tempera-
ture to 200 at Alpena, Mich. The fall increased
with the distance west. At Colgarz, in Mani
toba, $50 Fellow zero was recorded. the coolest
weather of this season. The high barometer

GOOD CHANCE FOR TRADE.
A Brazilian Merchant Says American Goods
Are Wanted There.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Bureau of
the American Republics has received let
ter from leading merchant in Brazil, who
writes as follows:
"Almost everything made in America is
good for this country. Glassware is wanted
badly, particularly big tumblers, water sets
and small liquor glasses, knives and forks,
all kinds of tlnware, hardware, tools and
notions of every kind, cotton sheeting,
prints and cheap light weight wooden goods.
In fact, can only say that do not know
what will not sell. We want paper and
stationery of every kind, varnishes, felt
shoes, woodenware, gloves and blank books
1--WE have recently had the largest ship
ment of manufactures from the United
States ever landed here, aud although
prices charged were outrageous, they met
with wonderfully quick sale. Blaine's
reciprocity idea will lead to increased bust
ness with US. 1t is a splendid notion. and
if Blaine can carry it out both countries
will have good deal to thank him for"

evening and made a statement regarding the
shooting match between himself and ]. Brookes,
which ended unsatisfactory at Homewood
Park on Saturday. He said: 'The referee
measured the charge which was found fault
with in my gun. II there was more than an
ounce of shot in the gun why, it was his mis-
take and not mine. The question is: Was to
suffer for his mistake? i say not. That would
be a preposterous condition and nobody would
tolerate it. That, and that alone. is why 1 re-
fused to abide by his decision. The matter is
