The Combination Failed to Inspire Enthu-
siasm Among PsnnsyIvania Politicians.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2j.-When Col
onel A. X. Mcclure offered his resolution
nearly a year ago. providing for a recep-
ton OF General Harrison by the Union
League club. of Philadelphia. the re-
nowned editor intended IL as merited
honor 10 a distinguished citizen of the
United States, and the mover of the reso-
luton very properly presumed that the
reception would occur almost Immediate
Iv upon General Harrison's retirement
from the Presidency in March last, and
not nine months later
The Mcclure reception TO "Hon. Benja-
min Harrison" as the cards OF invitation
had it, took place at our great Union
League Club last Thursday evening. AS
a reception it was a success, but as a
boom for Harrison for President and
Wanamaker for Nice-Presdent 1t was a
fizzle. a fash I'm the pan. Stll. for this
no blame should attach TO the president
Of the League, for he made II what IL was
intended il should be a dignhed reception
TO an American citizen who had worthiy
filled the office of President.
Had my esteemed friend Brother Wana-
maker taken me into his confidence and
frankly told me that he would like the
League reception 10 General Harrison to
develop n healthy Harrison and Wana.
maker boom for 1896. / should just as
frankly have told him that the first thing
TO do was TO substitute Senator Quay
David Martin. Harrington Fitzgerald and
Magistrate Durham for the committee OF
eminently respectable gentlemen named
by League President Young 20 take
charge Of General Harrison. 1t is not the
first time Mr.. Wanamaker has attempted
the role OF the politician without seeking
political light and wisdom. and Il is there
fore not surprising that his experiment
was failure
Ass professional politicians. Quay and
Martin are not IN the habit of exposing
their hand until they play heir game.
Had the MANAGEMENT OF a boom for Har-
rison and Wansmaker been placed in their
charge. they would not have made the
egregiOus hiunder Of announcing through
the newspapers i'm the afternoon preceding
the reception that Senator's sherman,
Hoar Frye Manderson. Hawley. Proc
tor. Carey Dubois. Chandler. Aldrich,
Mitchell. CullOm. Allison. and Washburn
and congressman Reed Of Maine and Bur
rows Of Michigan woUd arrive in Phila-
delphia at $50 o'clock i'm the evening to at
tend the reception, returning 10 Wash
ington at midnight, and then permitted
the morning papers 10 make known the
humiliating fact that Of all those named
Senator Carey was the only one present.
However, 10 was a good thing for Carey
for previous TO his visit TO the Harrison
reception last Thursday evening. not a
member Of the League knew what State
he represented. The question having been
asked and answered several hundred
times az the reception. most of those
r,rf rssfrH r.. nd
he came.
Unless Brother Wanamal,er can enlist
Senator Quay in behalf OF the Harrison
and Wanamaker boom. not a single dele
gate from Pennsylvania will march under
that transparency.

Much Bitterness Exhibited When the
Agricultural College Bill Came Up.
BOISE, Ida, Jan. 27.-[Special. lin the
house today the bill locating the agricul-
tnral college at Idaho Falls passed by
vote of Is to 10. The matter was pro-
ductive OF very lively skirmish, mem
bers that were working to secure the
prize for their respective counties ex-
hibiting much bitterness and claiming
that the bill was railroaded through I'M
der gag rule. The bill forming Fremont
county out of the northern portion OF
Bingham passed by vote of 30 to l,
Lawson of Custer alone voting in the
negative. The bill provides that Rex
burg shall be the county seat. Pending
co nsideration of the Bannock county
bill the house adjourned. There is no
doubt that later the bill will pass, thus
dividing Bingham county into three
parts. Pocatello is named as the county
seat of Bannock.
In the Senate most of the time was
taken up in consideration of Mr.. Stew
arts bill compelling mining companies
and contractors on railroads, bitches,
public buildings, ETC., % pay employees
every two weeks. The bill was bitterly
opposed by representatives of the mining
counties. The committee of the whole re-
ported favorably on the Mills bin provid-
ing heavy penalty for an employer who
makes it a condition OF employment of
men that they do not belong to a labor
organization. Both houses adjourned
until Monday, out of respect to the MEM
DRY of James G.. Blaine.
Governor Mcconnell today signed the
Lewiston normal college bill. He trans
mitted to the legislature message urging
the passage of law establishing bureau

recommends the appointment OF immigra-
ton commissioners. to serve two years.
who are to be authorized to open an Office
in Chicago during the Worlds fair to dis
tribute among visitors such statistics and
data as will educate the people concerning

also recommended that the commissioners
be empowered to investigate the causes of
strikes and disagreements between en-
ployer and employees and report such
remedies as they may deem necessary to
secure more fraternal relations between
labor and capital.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The House
committee on rules, but for the early adj
iournment of the House today, would
have reported during the afternoon a SER
les of resolutions, one providing for an
investigation of the Panama scandal and
Pacific Mail Steamship company; the
other providing for an investigation OF

provides for the appointment of special
committee of five members which shall
investigate the charge that there was an
American corruption fund as part of the
Panama scandal, now agitating France.
It shall also investigate the Panama rail
road and ascertain whether our commerce
is in any way injuriously restrained.
The Pacific Mail company is also to be
investigated to ascertain if it has made
contracts with transcontinental railroad
companies, which put it under their con-
troll; whether it receives subsidy from
them to send freight overland, notwith-
standing it gets subsidy from the United
States in order to foster commerce by
ocean routes, and whether the United
States subsidy should be withdrawn.
The Whisky trust investigation is to be
conducted by the judiciary committee.

Pension Appropriation Bin.

appropriation bill. 1t carries an appro-
priation of S166, 400, 900. an increase OF
500, 1862, $50 over the appropriation for the
current year.
The Recommendation of the sub-com-
mittee that no pension shall be paid any
persons under the dependent pension law,
unless they can show they are wholly dis
abled for manual labor and have an in
come of less than $500 year, was stricken
out as was the recommendation that no
widow of a pensioner should receive a
pension unless she was married to SOL
der previous to 1870. The proposition to
authorize the commissioner of pensions
to detail medical examiners from the PEN
sion Office to act as examining surgeons
of pensions and abolish the board OF
examining surgeons was also rejected.
