THE STATE
FINANCES !
The Governor Asked to Suggest Proper
Subjects For Taxation.
THE QUAY COUNTY BILL IS KILLED
Senator Thomas Refutes the Charge That
the state is Practically Bankrupt
and Quotes Statistics to Prove
His Statement Three Bills
Are Vetoed by the
Governor.

Harrisburg, June LIN the senate
last evening Mr.. Grady introduced a
concurrent resolution asking the gov
ernor to inform the legislature of the
financial condition of the state. and if
there should he a deficit he IS asked to
suggest subjects of taxation
MIR. Thomas asked permission to re-
cord his vote on the foregoing resolu-
tion in the Affirmative. This permis-
sion was granted, whereupon Mr..
Thomas said: 1T has been heralded
far and near that the state of Pennsyl-
vania is practically bankrupt This
statement is not founded on facts It
is true, however, that there is a deficit
but it is no fault Of this legislature
Some years ago the state was in debt
$l1,O00000. At that time but 81 500 O00
was appropriated to public schools To-
day the public schools get So 500 00O
From 1885 to 1896 the state has met
several extraordinary expenditures, in
cluding S1,00O,OOO for the Johnstown
flood sufferers. For new buildings on
Capitol hill $225, 600 has been spent.
and 100000 was appropriated to re-
move the islands in the Delaware river.
Notwithstanding this the states debt
is now less than 81, 600 900. We can
wipe out this deficit either by taxing
proper subjects or by borrowing The
governor ought to suggest proper sub
jects for taxation, and as soon as he
does we win be ready to act Until
then our hands are tied"
The governor sent to the senate his
veto of the bin increasing the salaries
Of the deputy sherifs, save the real
estate deputy, in the sherifrs office OF
Philadelphia from 81 900 to So. 500.
In veto messages sent to the house
the governor declined to approve the
bill allowing schoolhouses to be used
for religious purposes. He also vetoed
the bill for special taxes for street
sprinkling and street cleaning.
When the Quay county bill came up
a motion that it be dropped from the
calendar was adopted without a dis
senting vote.

MCCOY WITH EASE.
The ISid" Has No Trouble in Handling
Jack Roner.

PHLADELPHA, June 1.-The six-rouud
glove contest between kid" McCoy and
John Bouer, of Summit Hill, the coal region
wonder, took place at the Arena club room
last night About 8 600 people were present.
] he first round opened with Boner swing
ing wildly for the face and body, the kid"
keeping out of his reach great deal of
sparring was done with not a clean blow
during the round. The second round was q
repetition Of the first, Bonor rushing at Nc
Coy with no effect No clean blows were
landed in this round.
In the third and fourth Boncr did an the
forcing, but did no effective hitting, while
Mccoy occasionally iabbed him in the face
with his left In the fifth the Kid" seemed
to play horse with Boner, hitting him when
ever he pleased, but not furnishing him to
any extent. in the last round, however he
went at him in true style, jabbing his left re-
peatedly in his face and landing an occasional
body blow. Boner fought back wildly and
only landed few times with any force.
Boner jabbed his adversary hard, when he
realized he could not win. This spurred
Mccoy ON and the punishment he admins
tered to Boner was frightful The coal
region lad, however was in a condition to
take it and whom time was called Mccoy had
failed to knock him out The referee de-
cided the contest a draw.

Altoona, Pa. June 1.-The Pennsyl-

fled the coal operators in the West
moreland and Clearfeld districts that
the company would expect a reduction
Of from 50 TO 50 cents a ton for West
morelans coal and from as to 65 cents
ton for mountain and Clearfeld coal
to take effect on June Z, a number of
operators came here yesterday and con-

Harry Davidson, who was put under bail
on Sunday for beating his wife, was before
Justice Toomey again last night charged
with assault and battery and threats to kill,
Mrs. Elizabeth Williams being the com
plainant. He was put under 5000 bail. Mrs.
NJ. A. Davidson, the mother of Harry, sued
Mrs. Williams for assault and battery and
$500 bail was furnished. It seems the
troubles arise from Davidson's wife taking
refuge in Mrs. Williams house when they
had their trouble on Sunday.

A DANGEROUS PLACE.
Highwaymen Hold Sway Between Wm.
Penn and Lost Creek No. 2.

The road leading from the western end of
Vim. Penn TO Lost Creek No. has become a
rendezvous for highwaymen and the people
residing at the latter place have become so
timid that they now travel only on the
Lehigh Valley railroad to and from town
They will not risk walking over to the
Traction line at VIM. Penn after dark No
less than dozen people have been attacked on
the road within the past ten days. On Satur-
day two Lithuanians were set upon by three
roughs, thrown down an embankment, and
then relieved of their hats and money. On
Friday night another man was beaten and
robbed. A few nights previous a Hungarian
was stopped. Only ten cents worth of pea
nuts were found with him aud he was al
lowed to depart after beating. On another
occasion man was relieved of ten cents and
a pOcketknife after being beaten. Something
should be done to stamp out this gang, who
evidently only seek to rob to get drink.

RATHER CHILLY.

A contemporary has been gathering
gions especially with a view of deter
mining just how pleasant life must be
this winter in the Klondike country.
1t is pointed out that there is as yet
no positive record of the lowest range
of the thermometer in the upper Yu-
kon region, but assumes that this range
extends yearly to so or 60 degrees be-
low zero, with possibly an occasional
descent to a somewhat lower level
The low level temperature of the
true arctic regions approximates so or
60 degrees below zero, but explorers
have noted OCCASIONAL dips below this
level. Kane records a temperature of
rs degrees below zero and the officers
of the British polar expedition of 1876
recorded Y degrees below at the low
est dip of the mercury. 1t is now point
lying further south the winter climate
CT the Klondike does not differ in Sc
verify very materially from that of
many more populous parts Of British
America, as Manitoba or Alberta, or
even from Dakota or Northern and
Central Minnesota.
1t may be some slight comfort to
those who have friends wiutering in
the Klondike to know that the cold Of
that region is far from being as ex-
cessive as it is some other frigid por-
tons of the planet. Siberia as yet car
ries eff the Palm for extreme cold.
At TGkutsk, town not far from the
arctic circle, the spirit thermometer
regularly marks from Is to 80 degrees
below zero at intervals through the
winter. In the winter of 1S94-95 a
record Of 50 degrees below was estab-
lished. At verkojansk. Just beyond the
arctic circle. the thermometer marked
80 desreeI beloW zero On I single day

in January, 1895. This is said to he
the lowest natural cold that has ever
been recorded. lie regions Where
these readings were taken is known by
meteorologists as one of the poles of
cold of the earth, and there are no
records even in what is known as true
arctic travel or exploration that can
compare with these Siberian extremes
in severely.
+ The normal winter climate Of the
Klcndike region is very far from being
as severe as would be indicated by the
extreme low range of the thermome-
ter. Those who understand the tenn
perature of northern ATTITUDES from ex-
perience will realize that it is only on
occasion that mercurial dip to so or
60 degrees below zero is possible even
in the Klondike. The mean tempera-
ture is doubtless but little more severe
than in other inhabited portions of
the Canadian northwest Nevertheless,
it is probably cold enough to suit the
most warm FLOODED adventures, even
if it does not come in the same class
with Verkojansk.

go to smash. The Republicans will not
economize-they don't know how. They
have spent money recklessly since jan
uary, 1895, and now, standing confront
ed with the payment of $2s,2C0 of out
standing orders, SIS 900 CT the stone
bridge debt, and $1,000 of gas works
overcheck, thus aggregating 46,500-to
say nothing of further punches of or
ders which will probably come to light
with the end of the year. they have for
months been making the most desperate
attempts to rush this refunding scheme
through before the first of January, os-
tensibly in the interests of the people,
but really in the interests of the Repub-
lican party of the city Of Wheeling, and
Mr.. Forgey admits an essential portion
of this indictment when he says the re-
funding loan will be more costly than
the present system. Messrs. Republican
Refunders: Why not acknowledge the
corn, admit the refunding ordinance is
party measure, pure and simple, brought
forth from political and financial neces-
sity, place the rea. issue before the peo-
pie and make the fight under clear

do it voluntarily. In the language OF
