HARRISBURG.

Tho legislature is now in the hfth
month AZ the session and there Is no
talIinp how long the session Will last;
aItbongh it il pretty generally bel1eved
thot tho middle of June will see the
end There are now enough bills on
the calendar to keep the members pusy
dav and night for two months at ieast.
Had more work been done during tne
frst two months the calendar mgnt
have heen cleared before the Leglsla-
tI1re adiourns; as it is, many good bllls
will never receive the attention uue
them. h;,,s
There are nearly five hundred Diils
On tba House calendar for second and
third readings. Twenty per cent OF
tbaae have come from the Senate. Be
sides there are twenty bills awaiting
first reading.
The architects of the State have been
taxing GREAT interest in the new capl-
fall -huilding. and there has been some
urping of candidates for the place. IL
il expected that as soon as the archl-
tect il selected the work Will com
mence. SO p,,h
Dr DELANEY, Superintendent OF PUB
lie Puildings and Grounds, IS overruh
hv persons with an eye on chances Ior
r-orr desiring to know when the WORK
ri damoIishing the old building Will
Commence. There are many times a, a.
many applicants for work as there VIII
be men employed.
By way of apology for the slow pro
erress made by our Legislature, Hon
W q Smith saws in the Punxsutawney
shirt that the work of the session mas
nnt reached that point where flnai ac'
tion can be taken on great many pllis'
h,1t much preliminary work has Deen
dome and from this on the work VIII
make a better showing. There Is poln'
in his added remark: The Leg1sla
ture really deserves, as a rule, more
credit for The bills it defeats, than Iol
the bills it passes. A great many Dlll'
need killing"
The direct inheritance tax bill, witt
the Senate amendments, passed tnt
House last week, and has received tht
Governors signature 1t Is estimated
that the bill will raise fully 81, 25O, 00O
THE exact scope and revenue of the bil
cannot be stated. 1t taxes estates tna'
are not already settled. Under tnl'
law il a man dies, leaving to his wld
ow property worth more than 1000
she nays tax of 2 per cent. Wnen sns
dies the heirs pay per cent. more. al
the unmarried children pass away
their heirs pay the collateral inheri
tance tax of ) per cent. Opponents o
the bill argue that it will result IN th'
placing Of property in trust before
death 50 as to avoid this tax.
On Tuesday Gov Hastings and sever
al prominent members of the Legisia
ture held a conference at which 1t wa
decided to push the Revenue and Ap
nropriation bills. and endeavor to br1nt
the session to an end by June 17th.
In the Senate that day the bill for
bidding the exhibition of prize-tigh
pictures passed finally.

An Incident in the House.
From Friday's Gazette. J

(From Fridays Gazette.)
Representative w. FL. Keyser of Phil
adelphia this morning caused himself
to be very much disliked. He was in
the chair most of the session. About
1890 Mr.. Young Of Tioga made a mo
tion to reconsider the vote by which
the resolution making a special order
for the trolley eminent domain bill was
defeated last Friday. There was an
understanding yesterday that the ses-
sion was to last until 2 o'clock to- day.
Mr.. Young did not anticipate an ad-
journment before that time. He stat
ed his motion and second later John
Scott of Philadelphia moved to adjourn
at the suggestion of a gentleman in
terested in steam roads. Another
member seconded the motion.
Mr.. Young tried to protest, but
Lytle Of Huntingdon rushed up the
aisle, calling to Keyser that the motion
was not debatable. Keyser quickly
put the motion and there was cry of
yeas This was followed by stronger
shout of nays A second later there
was a call for division. At the same
time Mr.. James Moore of Butler called
for a roll call. He said that his de-
mand was seconded. Keyser in his
eagerness to prevent the trolley lines
from winning the day, declared the
house adjourned until Monday night.
Speaker Boyer stood beside Keyser and
saw him give this deal to Mr. Young.
He Immediately went down and spent
ten minutes apologizing to the Tioga
man. He said that Keyser had not
acted fairly.
Mr. Moore of Butler is very indig
nant over Keyser's action. He says
that there is too much Of this kind Of
thing being done this session. He is
endeavoring to have caucus of the
members Monday night to protest
against this sort of treatment Some
of the members are in favor Of petition
ing Speaker Boyer to keep Keyser out
of the chair for the balance of the ses-
sion. Two years ago q speaker pro
tenn was Missed out of the chair for an
action similar to the one to-day. Mr..
Young can call up the motion Monday
night and will do so. The affair to-day
has made him many friends, and the
steam railroads will have hard work to
keep the bill from passing

Ir is noteworthy that nearly all the
silver Senators voted against the Arbl-
tration treaty last week. They thus
snubbed the late President and Secre-
tary of State who negotiated the treaty,
and at the same time slapped the Brit
ish Government, which stands immov,,
ably in the way of the international
cninaRe of silver.
