IN THE HOUSE.

A resolution was passed by the house
last night the preamble of which reiter-
ated the serious charges which have from
time to time been made against the state
insane asylum at Warren. The resolution
authorized the appointment by the COVER
nor of committee Of five representatives
and three senators with power to make a
thorough investigation. The names of a
number Of patients who suffered death as
a result of ill-treatment at the hands OF
attendants, and u score of others per
mauently injured, We're given.
1t was alleged that the keepers had fire.
quently without cause or provocation,
beat bruised and manned harmless in
mates subjected them to cruel indignities
and forced them to scrub halls cells, clean
spittoons and perform the menial labor
which rightly devolved upon the keepers
themselves That for slight deviations
from prescribed rules patients had been
locked four or five together, in one cell
and allowed to fight with each other until
they were crippled and bleeding.
From beginning to end the charges were
bitter, the most serious being that Ii
CenJiOusness was unrestTained among the
attaches. Each allegation was specific in
itself, and the statement was made that
the State board Of charities had in its pos
session proofs substantiating the different
acts described
In addition to the above a resolution re
citing that various acts of violence had
been perperrated and that msmanagent
existed in the Danville asylum was intro
duced 1t was referred to a committee.
Besides the above only matters of a rou-
tine nature were considered.

Saws He Wasn't ConsnIted.

WASHINGTON, May 2.--In regard to the
figures recently published puIporting to
show by reports to the comptroller OF the
currency that the amount of gold held in
Chicago exceeded that held in New York,
and that the west had more gold than the
east Comptroller Eckels says he was not
consulted.
He says that some newspaper men en-
tered his Office and took from the file hang
Ing therein some sheets of old reports and
from them the figures were made up Mr..
Eckels had nothing to do with the state
ment. He says he does not care to deny
it, as it was only by implication that his
name was mentioned. However, he ad-
mits that the figures as published were er-
roneous, and that New York holds nearly
three times as much gold as Chicago
Acting Secretary OF the Treasury Ham
lin says that gold is steadily accumulatinG
and that he feels very easy as to the situa.
tion. He says there are nearly two mil
lions Of free gold in the treasury.

The organization of the court took place

able laymen as well.
The students of the law school of the

which Judge Morris is dean, also were

The Supply of Gold,

WASHINGTON, May Secretary Carlisle
will return to Washington tonight and be
at the treasury tomorrow. 1t is expected
that he will then put into motion the ma
chine to build up the treasury gold, as it is
understood here that he has made arrange
ments as the result of his New York cen
ference to secure a considerable stock of
gold there. His Chicago conference is
looked forward to with interest and it is
believed the Chicago banks will supply
some of their $40, 900, 900 of gold as the
New York banks will some of their $751;
900, 900 gold
In the meantime Acting Secretary Ham
lin is receiving daily small offers of gold,
three being accepted yesterday.
But little of the gold accepted especially
that from Boston, has yet appeared upon
the treasury books, and the debt statement
issued yesterday did not show it all, but
in point of fact showed less than $685. 000,-
600. Sufficient has been accepted to make
thenet gold about 81, 1875, 900; but tits stated
unofiicially this morning that $780, 900 had
been engaged for export rtto-day and during
the week past 800, 900 in gold was taken
for shipment to Canada, so that the margin
OF free gold is thin.

THE STATE LEGISLATURE
The Work Done by Our Busy
Lawmakers.
PROCEEDINGS IN BOTH BRANCHES

The Bill Approprinting Money for the
Payment Of Postage on the Legislative
Record Returned to the Senate without
the Governors Approval The Proceed
ings in the House.
HARRISBURG, May 2.-The senate's ses.
sion last night was not marked By any un-
usual animation. The governor returned
without his approval bill passed provid-
ing that sum of money be appropriated
for the purpose Of paying postage on the
Legislative Record which the legislators
desire to mail to their constituents. His
eXcelency took occasion to remark that
the bill was to him an enigma, inasmuch
as it failed to specify how much money was
desired or did it indicate how many public
documents or to whom they were to be
sent. He was Of the opinion that the 500
now allowed each senator for postage was
sufficient.
The house resolution preferrng charges
against the management of the Warren
Insane asylum created quite a stre in the
senate and some debate, which resultad in
the matter being laid over until - o'clock
to day, when it was taken up again. Sev-
eral senators stated that they were loath to
believe the charges true Another said
that the management courted investigation
in fact demanded it, and that there was
consequently no excuse for delay.
The bill authorizing the appointment Of
a commission to consider the advisability
Of establishing a state printing Office was
vetoed yesterday by the governor, He
thinks the committee now investigating
the state printing has full power to con-
slider and advise upon this subject, and
adds that as a contract for the state print
ing for the next four years has already been
executed, the two regular legislative ses-
sions which must intervene before its ex-
piratiou will have ample time fordeliberate
consideration.
The bill authorizing the appointment of
a commission to ascertain how many per-
SONS of foreign birth are now in the chari-
table and criminal institutions of the state
and to make recommendations relative
thereto was returned without the COVER
nor's approval and with his statement that
this work had already been provided for,
the board Of public charities being author
lied by the act Of April "a, 1862 to supply
this information.

THE CANADIANS ARE SURPRISED
To Learn of the Failure of Erastus Wiman
of New York.

VI NEW VI ~
TORONTO, Ont, May 2.-Great surprise
is expressed here at the news of Erastus
Wiman's reported assignment. He is well
known throughout Canada, and his career
has kept him in close touch with Canadian
business men.
The news that Mr. Wiman is in financial
difficulty revives the story of his connection
with the Great Northwestern Telegraph
Company, of Canada, in the presidency of
which he was succeeded about a year ago
tg H. w. Dwight,
While Mr.. Wiman was at the head of the
Montreal branch of R. G. Dun & Co. s
agency, he became impressed with the folly
of the ruinous cut rate competition being
carried on by the Montreal Telegraph Com
pany and It's smaller rival, the Dominion
Telegraph Company
These two companies were then doing
business throughout Canada, and each had
offices in all the principal cities in the Do
miniOn. In order to secure business they
were taking messages as low as fifteen
cents each, leaving no profits in the bust
ness.
Mr. Wiman, seeing the profits thus
thrown away, and realizing the opportu-
nifty there was for making money, if a
some representative capitalists that a third
company should be formed to acquire a
controlling interest in each company and
/ amalgamate them.
The Great Northwestern Telegraph Com
pany was organized on the lines proposed
by him, and the promoters brought about
the amalgamation of the two companies.
| AS a reward for his clever stroke of bust
ness in securing for the new company a
monopoly Of very profitable business Mr.,
| WinRn was made its president
The terms of the amalgannation provided
| that the Great Northwestern should guar
antee the shareholders of the Montreal com.
pany per cent and those of the Dominion
| company per cent. per annum, and alsC
pay a rental for their lines under a Least
for ninety-years.
For several years these dividends were
not forthcoming at the time agreed ant
| propositions were made that they should b,
I reduced This led otedious litigation, anJ
| in the end Mr. Wiman was beaten and thu
stipulated dividends had to be paid,
