IT WAS said to be the consensus OF
opinion yesterday among Wall street
bankers and railroad men whose attitude
toward the Pennsylvania is disinterested
that President Cassatt was in very diff
cult position. If he establishes 10y alb
solute proof his own innocence in the
matter of profits from favored coal COM
panies, it was said, he proves great ne
elect and remissness on his part in fail
IRE to detect the improper practices in
immediate associates of his Official family.
If he does not attempt to establish his
ignorance of what was going on. he can
not, of course, expect himself to he sus-
tanned; and 10 either event he will find
it most difficult to avoid the strong de-
maud for his resignation that is sure to

is going steadily ahead in the develop
ment of the plans OF its leaders to force
upon the authorities the recognition OF
is prerogatives and powers, and to
bring the government under its control.
BY unanimous vote it was decided to-
day to interpellate the government on
the subject of the kilograms attacking
the Donna which have been printed
frequently in the Official Messenger, the
organ of the government. II has been
freely charged that these kilograms were
inspired by members OF The Bureaucracy,
and from official quarters, so that tie

the matter is significant. The agrarlan
and its accompanying problem OF how to
provide land for the peasanls Is still the
most important topic of discussion be-
fore the deputies. The debate Oh the
question has aroused the greatest interest.
