NEW CAPITOL BILL.

This week will see the close of the
controversy over the new capitol pro-
ject. The Walton bill, framed and en-
dorsed by Governor Hastings will come
up on Monday on a special order for
second reading and Tuesday morning
for third reading and final passage. 1t
has already passed the senate. Gov
ernor Hastings will sign the bill as
soon as 1t reaches him so that no more
time is lost in securing the plans and
specifications and arranging the other
preliminaries.
The bill as it passed the senate appro-
PIRATES $55O.OOO for a state house to be
erected on the site of the old building.
The work is to be done under the di-
rectiOn of a commission to be COM
posed of the governor, auditor general,
state treasurer, president pro tenn. of
the senate and speaker of the house. 1t
requires the building to be completed
in time for the session of the next leg
islature and allows the use of old ma
terial in the construction of the new
building.
DIR. SWALLOW AGAIN.
Rev. DR.. Swallow will figure again
this week in legislative circles. lie is
scheduled to appear before the joint
buildings committee Tuesday morning
to prove his charge that the burning
of the capitol was the result of care
lessness.
The report of the committee appoint
ed two years ago to ascertain how
many aliens there are in the state
institutions of Pennsylvania is ready to
file. Chairman Focht says it will show
that IS per cent. of the inmates of
the state insane hospitals, almshouses
and asylums are aliens. In the coal
regions the percentage in some insti-
tutions is as high as eighty. 1t is
claimed these people keep out Amcri-
can born citizens and the committee
will recommend that action be taken
looking to the exclusion of foreigners
or requiring their home governments
to contribute to their support.
The farmers are asking this legisla-
ture that a change be made in the
system of distributing the public school
appropriation and that nothing be
done with the law prohibiting the sale
of oleo. Hundreds of petitions are on
| file in the house and senate faVoring q
change in the distribution of the school
| funds. The farmers are divided on the
Hammond bill fixing the minimum
| school term at seven months.

KENTUCKY CONTEST
HUNTER TO WITHDRAW AFTER
TO-DAY's BALLOT.
He VIII Dictate the New Republican
Nominee, Who VIII he Either
Judge Holt or state senator
DebOe.

FRANKFORT, KY, April lo.-There
was but little interest in the joint session
of the General Assembly at noon to-day.
According TO the agreement entered into
by the steering committees OF the parties,
but one ballot was cast for each candi-
date. after which perfunctory duty the
joint session adjourned.
Governor Bradley this morning amend
ed his call for the extra session so that
the General Assembly might relieve the
suffering caused by the flood in the coun-
ties Of Hickman and Fulton, in the south
western part OF the State.
1t was given out at Republican head
quarters this morning. apparently by au-
thority. though not by DR.. Hunter him
self, that he would withdraw after the
ballot tomorrow, and that Senator Jones,
chairman of the Republican caucus. would
call a new caucus for either tomorrow
night or Wednesday morning. When
asked If he would withdraw, DR.. Hunter
replied evasively: Those Republicans
who have had lightning-rods during the
session are doing some tall hustling."
The nominee of the new caucus will.
of course, be dictated by Hunter. This
let's out all thought of Colonel ST. John
Boyle. for whom the boiling Republicans
have been voting 1t was rumored this
morning that the Hunter people had not
decided upon whom they would combine,
but that it would likely be Judge w. II.
Holt or Senator w. j. Deboe, of Marion
county.
