WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1l.-Mr.
Paddock appealed TO tho senate not TO
adjourn over to Monday, n motion to
that effect having been made. Tho
printing bill, he said, had been drag
ging its slow length along for weeks,
and seemed likely to do SO for weeks to
come, and he was but waiting to got it
outo tho way in order to bring for
ward for discussion and vote tho i'm
portant measure known rs the pure
food bill.
Mr.. Cockrcll took exception to the
disrespectful wuyin which the printing
bill was spoken OF. That was very i'm
portant measure, and he thought that
it was being pressed oven too rapidly.

was agreed to.
An adverse report was made from the
committee OH military affairs on the
bill to drovide for tho biennial report Of
a bool; to be known as the military

vestigatlon as to the alleged efforts OF
railway and other corporations to con-
troll tho election OF senators in tho Flori-
da Legislature. He asked that the reso.
luton bo laid on the table and said that
he would submit some observations
on it at an carly day.
Mr.. George offered a resolution in
structing the committee on finance to
report bill requiring the issue and
keeping in circulation OF legal tender
treasury notes to amount equal to $40
per capita OF the population of tho
United States and the increase of such
issue every year SO as to keep pace with
the yearly increase OF population.
: The bill providing for postotiice build
5ings III cities where the postotlice re-
ceipts exceed $4,000 annually was taken
up, and was, on motion OF Mr.. Vest,

ing tho jury in tho cxtortion case
against Mayor james G. Wyman, OF
Allegheny City, brought in n verdict OF
guilty in tho first md second counts OF
the indictment. Tho verdict was
reached lato last night, but was not
announced until tho opening Of court
this morning. When it was read Mayor
Wyman became deathly pale, and was
taken to 4 seat by his friends. When
he recovered he had nothing to cay.
Tho penalty for extortion on each
count is $500 line and ono years i'm.
prisonment, or both, Mt tho discretion OF
the court. Court also orders his re-
moval from office as part, ,of tho punish-
ment. q,
The verdict caused a sensation gener.
ally in tho court. room. There were
number Of Allegheny Office. holders in
there, and when they heard that their
official head was guilty, many felt un-7
easy, and said so. Ex-Mayor, Richard
Chief Kirschler, was almost rs greatly
affected rs Mayor Wyman, for the COM
monwealth claims that tho evidence
against tho ex-mayor is exactly similar
in character to that which convicted
Mr. Wyman. y 4 .,i
There is a charge Of embezzlement
still pending against tho latter r,
At the conclusion ofMayor Wymnn's
trial, the case against ex-AIayor Richurd
I. Pearson, Of Allegheny, for embezzle-
ment was taken up. It is alleged that
Mr.. Pearson, on April l, 1890. while
mayor, received $794 and converted it
to his own use. This money was COL
lected from the county for police duty.
The defense hoped to block the pro-
aecution by objecting to the offering Of
tho warrants in evidence as not tending
to prove tho indictment OF embezzle-
ment. Tho warrants, they claimed, did
not bear the signature Of the defendant
and did not show that ho got one cent
OF the money. The objection was over
ruled, however, and tho case proceeded.
The principal witness called was the
mayors clerk, Hunneshagen, who oc-
cupied tho stand the greater part Of tho
session. The prosecution relied upon
his testimony to establish their case,
but it was conceded that he. was moro
valuable TO the defense. lie testified
that money was paid to officers to whom
it belonged as fees, and that in no case
did any OF it pass into the hands OF tho
mayor. lie could not say whether .or
not the mayor knew that the officers
were getting warrants in his name. The
witness signed the mayors namo to the
warrants, but no one gave him authors
ty to do so. It was the custom.

able Democratic opposition from tho
cane sugar districts Of the south
and possibly from the y beet
sugar districts OF the west, the

amounting to many millions OF dollars,
