,.reu,rr New York Biii "A Law.

Albany, May II Governor Morton
has signed the Greater New York bill.
Under the terms IF the bill all the mu
nicipal corporations and parts of muui-
eipal corporations, other than counties,
within the following territory, to wit;
The county OF Kings, the county of
Richmond, the city of Long Island City,
the towns of Newton, Flushing and ia
maca, and that part of the town of
Hampstead, in the county of Queens,
which is westerly of straight line
drawn from the southeasterly line of the
town of Flushing through the middle of
the channel between Rockawas Beach
and Shelter Island, in the county of
Queens, to the Atlantic ocean, are con-
soidated with the municipal corpora
tions known as the mayor, aldermen
and commonality of the city of New
York. The consolidation, however, does
not go into effect until January |, 1898.
Ia the meantime. however, the COM
mission for which the bill provides will
preside. There are at present living IN
600 square miles of land in and around
New York over 000, 900 people The
territory embraced in greater New York
had by the state census of 1892 a popu-
latioD of 2, ,9S5, 422, and the natural in
crease in inhabitants since that enumer-
alton would make the present popuia-
ton oAer 5, 100, 900.

no monetary disturbance is at once proof
of the soundness of financial conditions
and of the prevailing confidence in bet
ter things to come. 1t does not matter
whether gold is required for Russia or
anywhere else; it would not go from this
rather than other countries if there
were not balances to meet.
Much of the hesitation at present is
due to temporarily reduced demand in
some industries, and in iron and steel
the power of the new combinations is
being generally tested by refusal of
orders, so that production exceeds con-
sumption, but consumption exceeds new
buying. The general irregularity of
prices and slackness of demand for fin
ished products do not prevent the mark
ing up of prices by combinations, but
are largely due to doubt whether such
prices as are fixed can be maintained
Pig iron is weaker at the east and also
at Pittsburg, tin steady and lead slightly
lower, and American tin plate so cents
below foreign.
The textile manufacturers say the sit
uation is trying. Cotton mills have a
fairly active demand, though not equal
to their normal output Print cloths
are an eighth higher. Woolen manu-
facturers find prices of wool sagging
both here and abroad. The decline at
London reached about per cenT, while
the average of quotations by Coates
Bros, Philadelphia, was nearly l per
cent lower May 2, and prices have been
further reduced by concessions to clear
off stocks.

The members of the house at Wash
ineton on Friday voted themselves 800
a month for clerk hire during the re-
cesses of congress. Under a resolution
passed by the Fifty second congress the
members of subsequent congresses re-
Ceived 800 per month for clerk hire dur
log the sessions. On Friday the propo-
sition to extend this allowance to mem
bers during the recesses of congress
came up in the form of the Hartman re-
solution, adversely reported from the
committee on accounts. 1t occasioned
some very sharp debate. 1t had the
support of Mr.. Cannon, the chairman of
the appropriation committee, but was
opposed by Mr.. Dingley, the floor leader
of the majority.
The resolution was amended so as to
except members who are chairmen of
committees having annual clerks, and
as amended was passed $50 to los. Our
lawmakers can always be counted upon
as letting no opportunity escape of en-
riching themselves at the peoples ex-
pense. 1t is only small steal, how
er.

Our Fleet May go 10 Havana.

New York, May lot is believed by
many persons here, especially among
the members OF the Cuban Junta, that
the assembling of about a dozen of the
United States war vessels in New York
waters indicates prompt action on the
part of the government touching affairs
in Cuba. The fact is recalled as signiii
cant that Secretary Onley recently de-
clared that in the opinion of the presi
dent the "Cuban question" had reached
a more acute stage than at any time
since the outbreak of the insurrection
There is reason also for believing that
there will not be any tnmporizing with
General Weller and that if any of the
condemned Competitor prisoners known
to be American citizens are executed
without a review of their cases by a civ
il tribunal that the fleet may be ordered
to rendezvous at Havana instead of this
harbOr.
General Fitzhugh Lee has been direct
ed 10y the authorities at Washington to
go to Havana at once, and will sail from
Tampa, Fla. ut the earliest possible
time.

TOOt' Osily.

According tn the Harrisburg Patriot,
which pretends to talk by the book, the
senatorial investigating committee.
which took slight peep into the muni-
cipal affairs in Philadelphia and took a
step or two in the same direction in Pitts
burg, is entirely discredited bv the Phil
adeIphia Municipal League, which will
not give another cent toward the com
mittee's expenses These expenses are
said to reach $40, 900, which the next
legislature will be asked to provide for.
1t is said that Senator Quay himself has
paid one hotel bill of $l5, 900 incurred
by the committee, on assurance of Sen
ator Andrews that it was all the bill of
the kind there was. and has since re-
ceived another bill from the same hos
telry for $4,000.
So far the Philadelphia Municipa
League has put up IS, 900, it is said, and
will positively stop there. The commit
tee has not had session for over thee
months, and those..who are not friendly
to il say there will be a warm discussion
when the report of its work, accompa-
MED by a big bill for expenses, is sub
mitted to the next legislature. The Pa
triot says Governor Hastings wonld not
sanction an appropriation if the legisla-
ture should pass it.

THE Gosiing this week in explaining
as follows:
"a glance over Uncle Sans balance
sheet shows that from 1866 up to 1894
the excess of revenues over expenditures
was many millions yearly. On June so,
1898, after Mr.. Cleveland had been seat
ed, the surplus was S2,3il ga 29. One
year later the deficit u..ei up to 500
S03. .260. Quite difference. WASH t
there? Then on June 30, 1925, the de-
ficit was $40, ,S25, ,O49 %. The interest
bearing debt had also been increased by
SIG, 202, ,060 in 1895.
These deficits were caused by a scare
ity of funds and the scarcity of funds
was caused by the failure of the revenue
system to meet the needs of the govern
ment; the low revenue or tariff measures
were made by the Democratic congress,
and the Democratic party, therefore, is
alone responsible for the hard times. "
Instead of which the GoSiing should
have told its readers that the revenues
commenced to fall off the year the Nc
Kinley bill became a law, and kept on
doing so until it was repealed. In the
four years under the Mckinley law the
revenues fell off $l57 900, 900 from what
they were the preceding four years.
The billion congress at the same time
added $40, 900. 900 to fixed expenditures.
The year before the Mckinley law went
into effect the customs receipts were
1929, 200, 900, while the last year of the
law they he'd fallen to S131 900, 600,
showing loss of S9S, 900, 900, and in
stead of there being surplus on June
3Oth, 1898, Harrison's administration
had juggled the $50, ,OOO,O bank note
redemption fund from debt to an as
set and even then had the bond plates
prepared to issue bonds to meet the de
ficiency that was staring the government
in the face, and which Cleveland's ad.
ministration had to meet.

Four Men Burned 10 Death.

Ashland. Wis, May 9-Four men
lost their lives in fire to-day, and the
Shores Lumber Company's mill, the
largest on Chequamegon Bay, together
with several thousand feet of lumber
dock, upon which was piled $4,000, 600
feet of lumber, were destroyed The
fire started in w. r Durfee's lumber
dock. The mill was surrounded by wa
ter, with wooden tramways leading to
the shore. When the flames burst out.
all the men but four succeeded in reach
ing the tramways. Among them was
John Nolander. 1t is presumed that a
spark from some employees pipe started
the flames in the lumber piles on Dur
fees dock.
Figured approx mately the loss on
milling property and docks will reach
S275, 200; on lumber $22S. 900. The
bodies of three men have already been
recovered, and another man is missing.

PROBABLY since Congresses first as
sembled at Washington, says the Phiia-
delphia Record, there never was one
which had greater opportunity than the
Fifty fourth Congress to afford the coun-
try helpful legislation, or which more
utterly failed to grasp its opportunity.
1t would have greatly diminished the
chances of electing a Republican Con-
gress and President in November if this
Congress had followed the recommenda-
tions of the President with regard to
financial legislation. 1t would have
been almost as hazardous to have adopt
ed some temporary measure, like beer
tax, a tax on coffee or tea, or slight
tax on sugar, to cover the lessening de-
felt in the federal revenue. But not
withstanding the early admission that
the operations of the treasury would have
been facilitated and large sums of money
saved by arming the treasury with tine
power to issue low-interest short term
bonds, and that more revenue was an
immediate necessity, partisanship over
bore every other consideration. Speaker
Reed announced at the beginning of the
session that i. would be do-nothing
congress. He has made good his proph-
ecy- Nothing has been done except to
make heavy appropriations. and by ne
glect and delay to prolong season of
industrial distress and apprehension
In the hope therefrom to reap political
advantage.
These are hard words, but they are
true. If they need confirmation beyond
that which the facts bear on their face
the confirmation is to be found in the
admissions of Republican leaders that
their inactivity has been deliberate
They have only attempted such general
legislation as they knew could not re-
ceive the sanction of both houses of
congress, or if passed by both houses.
could not receive the approval of the
executive. This may be grand politics.
but it is death to trade and industry.
