The Meeting at Headquarters.

Governor Pattison by this time had
reached General Snowden's headquarters
In the school house away up on the hill
top, and, alighting from the carriage in
which he had made the ascent, entered
the building, where hearty handshake
was exchanged between the governor,
who is ex-officio cammander-in-chief of
the state militia, and General Snowden,
who is in effect the field marshal of
Pennsylvania army.
The governors primary purpose is to
inspect the state troops. One of his
aides stated that the probability seemed
that the governor would remain at head
quarters perhaps a week. The proba-
bility of the governor attempting to take
hand at arbitration between the Car
negie company and the strikers was
preached, but the staff officers who had
accompanied him on the train from
Harrisburg did not express any conf
dence that peace overtures would be in
augurated through official channels very
soon, if at all. The same topic was
brought up at Amalgamated headquar-
ters Immediately after the governors
arrival, but no strong belief was heard
that anything encouraging would result,
however much it be hoped for.

GUILTY MAYOR,

james G. Wyman. OF Allegheny, Pa, Con-
victed-He is Found Guilty of Extortion
on Two Counts.
PITTsBURGH, Feb. 12.-Mnyor James
G. Wyman, republican, of Allegheny,
was found guilty Thursday of extor-
tion on two out of the four counts of the
indictments against him lie is yet to
be tried for EN- hezzlement.
The excitement in Allegheny is tre-
mendous. 1t now devolves upon the
ellis will appoint a chief executive pro
TEN. to serve until the next election,
though there has been great deal of
controversy about the question as to
what would be done with the mayor if
he was found guilty.
City Attorney Elphinstone states
positively that the court shall declare
the Office vacant pending the action of
councils. Judge Kennedys branch of
criminal court was packed almost to
;suffocation when the jury filed in at 9:3O
O'Clock Thursday morning. Mayor
Wyman stood at the side of the prison
.er's dock with craning neck and anx-
ious eye. His face was the picture of
during the long wait prior to the open
ing of the sealed verdict
On his right stood Chief of Detectives
Steele, of Allegheny, and on the other
side little group of front Office men
stood close by his side, as anxiously
waiting the fatal moment as the de-
fendant himself.
AteXactly 0:35 o'clock'Clerk of Courts
McGunnigle read the verdict: Guilty
on the first two counts not guilty on
the last two"
Wyman turned pale, fell back into
his scat and was unable to talk to q
reporter who tried to get statement,
There were four counts in the indict
ment for extortion, two on the
raid of the Hungarian boarding
house cases, and two in the Frank Will
ing gambling case.

MYSTERY'S CLOAK

Reported Covering the Behring Sea
COmmissionerS-Stro Desire to Prevent
Publicity of Their Findings.
New YORK, Feb ia special to the
Herald from Washington says there is
something very mysterious going on in
what is known as the settlement of the
Behring sea question. If the scene Of
the negotiations were a state capital
there would be some very sensational
charges made, and, for that matter,
perhaps even the dignity of some Off
Gals positions may not save them from
pretty severe reflections before this
matter is over.
There seems to be very strong de.
sire to prevent the public explanation
of the findings of the commission.
There is no reason for this unless
some body is going to be benefited,
There are great many charges made
in different organs of the that
it is the English commission
ers who are wasting time and refusing
to meet the American commissioners
and get down to business This is not
true.
1t is not the Englishmen who have
held back the investigation or who
have asked for secrecy. Some myster-
ious influence has kept the English
commissioners apart, and it was not un-
til yesterday that they were allowed to
meet officially in what was called an
'informal conference"
The conference was behind close
doors. 1t is impossible to get the Eng
lish commissioners to talk on the sub
iect, but it is known that they favor
open sessions, The state department
will not, however, for some reason,
agree to this step. The Englishmen,
while not complaining, having been
bound to secrecy feel keenly the mis-.
representations of their intentions and

of powder which was to be put into IL

SERVANTS WAGES.

he Mistress NnOulu LOOK 20 the w eIiire

1t is questionable if it is not a matter
of duty with every mistress on each oc-
casion when she pays her servants their
wages, to expect them-even to the
point of making herself ofiicious--to lay
by in the savings banks some portion
of the sum paid, as fund for old age
or against the rainy day that may come
Some mistresses pride themselves on
paying their maids at the end of every
week. and the small sum so received by
the girl is apt to be dissipatcd in as short
time as it took to earn it. But if the
girl can do without it, it is much better for
her to wait and have it in a larger sum,
the sight and possession of which will
let her be much more easily induced to
appropriate goodly part of it TO the flu
ture. OF course when servants have
others depending on them, it is not easy
for them to lay by any considerable
amount, but when they are only in the
way of buying handsome clothes, of
making presents, or of spending for
amusemcnts, ii becomes serious duty
to urge them to save their money. The
kind mistress may die, the pleasant
home may be broken mp, the next home
may be very different, may be one
where, If the girl is i'll, she has to pro-
vide for herself, and where there are no
frequent gifts to spare her expenditure;
SO that wisdom points out the path to
the savings bank or some other safe
method of investment. The mistress of
a family should remember that she has
the welfare of every member of it to
: look out for, and in begging her maid to
save portion OF her wages, She is pro-
viding both for her peace of mind in the
present and for her comfort in the pos
