HARRISBURG.

On Friday Gov Stone signed large
batch Of appropriation bills, including
the one giving the Butler Co. General
Hospital 70, 500 Thanks He disap-
proved the bill amending the act OF
March 81, 1868: authorizing incorporat-
ed companies to invest and reinvest sur
plus funds in mortgages, stocks and
other securities under certain limira-
tions and restrictions. so as to include
all banks and banking companies lncor-
porated under the laws of this Common
wealth.
Joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to section four, article eight. OF
of the constitution requiring that all
elections shall be by ballot. The Gov
ernor says this provision Of the Constr
tuition has given general satisfaction
and il considered safeguard in the ex-
ercise of the elective franchise. The
purpose of the amendment was to intro
duce voting machines in Pennsylvania
similar to those being tried in New York.
On Saturday Gov. Stone reduced the
appropriation of eleven millions to the
schools for two years to ten millions,
and in his reasons refers to the fact that
for 13 years after the adoption of the
Constitution of 1874. only $1,000, 900
were appropriated to the schools an
nually, the minimum permitted by the
organic law. Pror to 1874, the yearly
amount allowed was much less.
On Monday Gov Stone disposed OF
all the bills in his possession and went to
Washington to see Quay. He disaprov,,
ed the bill to provide for an additional
law Judge of Erie county, on the ground
that there IL no necessity for such an
official He also disapproved items ag-
gregating $i1 900 in the bill approprlat-
ing $G6, 551. 90 70 the Pennsylvania State
college. The items were for repairs TO
buildings, maintaining campus walks
and roads, the department of physics,
civil engineering, chemistry, psycho-
logy and the biological and botanical
laboratories These are disapproved be
cause the financial condition of the
Commonwealth does not Justify them.
The McClain amendment to the gen
ersl corporation bill, approved Thurs
day, was recalled by the Governor for
investigation Of the story that the meas
ure was ''doctored" after its final pas
sage in transmission to the Governor TO
s.include" instead of exclude distill-
ing companies A veto Will probably
follow.
The Governor appointed William I.
Bradberry and ]. N. Davidson, of Allie
gbeny, and w. III. Schwartz and w. j.
Blakeley, of Pittsburg, trustees of the
Institution for Feeble Minded at Polk,
Venargo county.
