Kentucky Republicans have a splendid chaice to elect a Governor, and it is not likely that they will throw it away, The Republicans of Centre couity are having a parrot and monkey time over the election of delegates to the State Convention and the nomination of a county ticket. The Quay forces are being lead by Judge John G. Love, while ex-Governor Hastings, who, it is said, is making a house-to-house can vilss. is marshaling the Insurgent hosts. The primaries occur Saturday of this wet K. Pennsylvania ?cured one colonel. two majors and a couple of captains for the new volunteer regiments, and has hopes of getting a few more officers un der Ihe grade of captain, so that, after all, this State has not made out so poorly. Senators Quay and Penrose aiid the President in selecting the Hew ollicers, aud they made uhmI ex cellent selections from the spendid ma terial that was offered from this State. The trade reviews for the past week give a very favorable report of the bus iness conditions throughout the coun try, which, in spite of the fact that this is the season of the year when in activity is expected, show evidences of progress and a prolonged season of ac tivity. The favorable reports are not confined to a few lines of production but cover a wide area of interests, indi eating that the prosperity that has at lart come is not confined to the few, hut is enjoyed by the masses generally Congressman Throw appeals to be developing a remarkable penchant for hunting trouble, and putting hi? foot into it generally. His latest effort in this line is in connection with (he selec tion of a site for a public building in Altoona. Since the building was se cured through the efforts of Congress man Hicks, and the site was selected by the Government authorities, it is hard to imagine why Mr. Thmpp, who is scarcely a resident of the district he represents, much less of Altoona, should have found it necessary to take a hand in the unseemly squabble. But then, Mr. Thropp is a very young man, so far ha congressional experience goes. Considerable speculation is beinir indulged in just now by the p-ess of the State as to whether Governor Stone will call an extra session of the Legis lature shortly after the November elec tion for the purpose of ele&'iug a Unit ed States Senator to auccecl Senator Quay. If an extra set-sion is called there is but little doubt that Senator Quay will be promptly re-eleded. Ward R. Bliss is not the only Insur gent who has seen the error of his ways, or, rather, listened to the voice of the people, since the adjournment of the Legislature. It is even intimated that our own Representative Kendall has had his ear to the ground to some I urpese since the adjournment. LEADER BLISS QUITS THE BOLTERS Delaware's Representative Says Sentiment Mas Changed in Quay's Favor. SEVERE BLOW 10 1 IH3EM Evidence Kultiplie That Jfy Who Filled to Support the Caucus Nominee For United States Senator Are How Ready to Do So. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, July 18. A bomb was thrown into tbe camp of the Republi can insurgents of Pennsylvania during the past week, and its eiploslon has spread consternation Into the ranks of the party wreckers throughout the commonwealth. Representative Ward R. Riiss, of Delaware, in an authorized pnbllc statement, declared that the leg islature should be reconvened, ana that Colonel Quay would then be re elected to the United States senate. Bliss was admittedly the most adroit and aggressive fighter on the insurgent side. He presided over both of the rump meetings held in the hall of the house, once to denounce t.eneral Oo bin. the presiding officer of the joint sssembiy. and the other to arraign Speaker Farr. These spectacular dem onstrations, if they accomplished noth ing more, helped to add fuel to the fires of factional politics, which the in-. 6urgeit leaders sought to build up in the hope of bringing about a with drawal of the regular Republican cau cus nominee for United States senator "in the interest of party harmony. BLISS SHOCKS THE BOLTERS. "It is my opinion," said Representa tive Bliss, "that if the governor calls a special session of the legislature for the purpose of electing a United States senator Colonel Quay would be re elected. His trial and acquittal en titles him to such a vindication, and it is my opinion that he will receive .t. I opposed Senator Quay, because my constituents, the people of Delaware county, did not want me to vote for an Indicted candidate for United States senator. It was not a question of Qiiayi.sm. but one of political propriety. Quay has now been vindicated, and in Delaware county there has been a strong revulsion of opinion. The peo ple now desire that he-be returned to the United States senate by the legis lature of his state." Would you vote for Quay If a spe cial session was called?" Mr. Bliss waa asked. "It wculd not be a question of per sonal preference, but one of the will of my constituents; they want Quay and I would vete as they direct." "Do you think that, in the event of a special session. Quay ctuld secure the necessary votes to insure his elec tion, that is. that he could draw the required number from the insurgents, it being admitted that Colonel Guffey would still control the Democrats and hold them solid for Jenks?" "Without particularizing. I think he could. I am satisfied that Senator Ma gee and those who joined with him when he left Quay and went to Hon. B. F. Jones would, now that Quay has been acquitted, give him earnest sup port. With Magee for Quay there would be no doubt of his ability to se cure the necessary '13 votes, or more if required. Wanamaker could not prevent it. as he did not personally control a half dozen of the Independent votes." GRADY WAS NOT SURPRISED. Stalwart Republican members of the legislature have commented pretty widely upon the Bliss declaration. "The declaration of Bliss was no surprise to me," remarked Senator John C. Grady, who was chairman of the joint Republican caucus on the United States senatorship. "My sum mer home." added the sage of Grady ville, "is in Delaware county, and I have an opportunity to know some thing about the sentiment of the Re publicans in that locality. In my chats with Mr. Bliss for somft time I have noted the trend of his mind, and as he is a frank and manly fellow. I looked for just such a public declara tion as he has given. I am convinced that there are others among the so- called insurgents who feel as Mr. Biiss evidently does in this matter, and now that the ice is broken I am prepared to hear from almost any of the othersJl "I am glad to see." remarked Rep resentative Chew, of the Eighth dis trict, "that Mr. Bliss has had the man liness to admit that he believes there is a change of sentiment in favor of Colonel Quay, and that if he were given the opportunity he would now support the caucus nominee. There can be no doubting the fact that Bliss is one of the strongest men on the flc. of the house, and that with his knowl edge of parliamentary rulings and his ability as a clean cut, forcible orator, he is a')le to take care of himself in any contingency. It is my belief that since the acquittal of Colonel Quay there are a number of other members of the legislature who refrained from voting for him while the conspiracy case was pending who. if they follow ed their own inclinations, would to- dav line up for the caucus nominee. Now that Mr. Bliss has so courageous ly spoken. I fully expect to hear from others before long. . AND A FLINN MAN, TOO. Representative W. W. McElhaney, one of the most active of Senator Flinn's Allegheny insnrgents during the senatorial deadlock, has also been talking in an unusual way. "Information has come to me within a fortnight." he said a few days ago. "which leads me to believe that ar rangemtns are being made to recon vene the legislature and elect a United Suites, senator. It is my opinion that the legislature, if reconvened, will eleot Colonel M. S. Quay to succeed himself. "This matter has been under consid eration for some time, according to my information, and the plans are being quietly worked so as to not stir up the subject and make it an issue in the fall campaign. It is the prevalent be lief that whether elected or not Sena tor Quay will be seated by the next senate." "Would Quay get any Democratic votes?" "He could and would if they were needed. There are also gn-sds for believing that a part of th. Philadel phia delegation ahich declined to en ter the caucus or support him in tbe last session will now do so." The views of Mr. McElhaney. evi dencing so radical a change of opinion and following so closely those ex pressed by Representative Bliss, will attract much attention. MK1NLEY FAVORS QUAY. "It is beginning to appear," said Con gressman James Rankin Young, in dis cussing the political situation, "that the visit of Senator Quay to the White House on Monday last had more signif icance attached to it than was under stood at the time. The cordiality of bis reception by the president and the fact that he was asked to join Senator Penrose ia supervising Pennsylvania' allotment of officers to be raised for service in tbe Philippines, were worthy of boraething Iteyond mere passing comment The feeling among the pol iticians is that tbe visit admits ot but one interpretation, and that is that Mr. McKinley wants to see Jar. Quay a member of the senate. The senator is too strong a personality to be al lowed to drift to the rear just at this time. It seems to be beyond a reason able doubt that the senate will admit Mr. Quay on the certificate be holds from Governor Stone. "The legislature should, however, be called together, and Colonel Quay should be promptly re-elected for the full term to Gucceed himself. There Is no leading Republican outside of the state, it is believed, from President McKinley down, who will not say, if asked his opinion, that this is the fair and proper thing to do. Since the ac qulttal of Mr. Quay the insurgent Re publican members of the legislature, as tbey are called, have no valid or rea sonable excuse for holding off and re fusing to abide by the decision of the majority, reached in due ana regular form. There ia no aettint- aw&v from t..c t fJUit.- t. Hii V!:W Oi III"! end It is bcause of its soundness tn political ethics as well as in political procedure that Mr. Quay has th sym pathy of not oniy the administration and of the entire Republican, but of the greater part of the Democratic membership of the senate." , NO EXTKE SESSION LIKELY. riMnltn th statements to Ihe contra ry, it is known that Coventor S one has at present no Idea of culling the tu-wiQf ir in extra session: neither is It believed that Colonel Quay has ex pressed a desire that the legislature should be reconvened. The latter' friends are naturally pleased with the evident drift of popular sentiment in fsvnr of tie Beaver statesman, and they arc satisfied that In due time his vindication in bs complete. A a Amerieaa Sailroai ia China. Moneyed men from the United Stales have He-cured a franchise for building a railroad from Hong Kong to Han Kow, China, a distance of nearly 700 miles. While railroads are necessary to a nation's prosperity, health is still more neceasary. A sick man can't make money if there are a thousand railroads. One of tbe reasons why America is so progresHive is the tact that in every drug store is sold Hon letter's Stomach Bitters, that cele brated tonic for the weak, appetizer for the dyspeptic and sedative for the ner vous. It is taken with great success by thousands of men and women who are run down, pale aod weak. It increases the weight, and tbe gain is permanent aud substantial. Political Hotel. Tbe Philadelphia Times says that Lieu tenant Colonel Harnett, of tbe Tenth Reg iment, will be nominated for State Treas urer practically without a contest. . Governor Roosevelt, of New York, de clares that he is not a candidate for the Republican nomination for President in VMO, but favors tbe renomination of Mc Kinley. a Tbe Kentucky Republicans, too, are go ing to have a scramble for the nomination for Governor, for they know that tbey are certain to elect their man this year, the Democrats being all split up over their nomination. Aud tbey will nominate a good man. Those Mugwumps who have leen tell ing with great glee that Senator Quay has no influence at the White House will be interested in bearing tbat until tbe Sena tor pamed upon the appointments for cen sus superviwors in this State they were not appointed. All of which goes to show that there is no danger of Senator Quay being led on tbe outside of the McKinley private of lice wheu favors are being hand ed out. Harrisburg Telegraph. Correspondent Speak Plainly. H.inu Kono, July 17. Eleven staff cor respondents of American newspapers iu Mauils, among them representatives of the Associated Prtss, unite in the follow ing statement: "We believe that owing to tbe official dispatches from Manila made public at Washington, tbe people of the United States have received an iuoorrect im pression of tbe situation in tbe Philip pines; that these dispatches have pre sented au ultraotiiuiHlic view not shared by tbe general officers iu the field. We helieige these dispatches have incorrectly represented the existing conditions among the Filipinos respecting internal dissensions, the demoralization resulting from the American campaign and the brigand character of tbe army. We be lieve the dispatches err in the declaration tbat tbe situation is well in hand and the imsiimption tbat the insurrection can be 'peedily ended without greatly increased force. We think tbe tenacity of purpose tf tbe Filipinos has been underestimated, tbat tbe statements are uufounded that tbe volunteers are willing to give further service. Censorship has compelled us to participate in this misrepresentation by excising and altering nnoontroverted statements of tbe facts on the plea a General Otis stated, tbat they would alarm the people at home, or have the people of the United States by the ears. Tbe specifications are the prohibition to tend hospital reports, number of heat prostrations in the field, the suppression of ail reports of field operations in tbe event of their failure, tbe systematic minimization of naval operations aud prohibition to seud complete reports of tbe situation." A Squaw's Vengeance. TAHLKrAH, I. T., July 17. A marvel ous story of genuine Indian torture with which she put to death her recreant lov er, Joseph Ryan, has been told by Miss Hattie Redbird a quarttrbred Cherokee Indian girl imprisoned and aw aiting trial tor the murder. She says she drugged and stupefied Ryan, pinioned bis hands tightly to a wall behind his back in a narrow closet, locked him in, and then going upstairs, removed a trapdoor from tbe ceiling above tbe head of her lover on tbe floor below, and proceeded to use ber own words as follows: "By means of a tub of ice water and a pitcher which I had prepared and placed beside tbe trapdoor on tbe upper floor, I dropped ice water, a drop at a lime on his bead from tbe pitcher for nearly fourteen hours and all tbe w hile he begged me to stop. "Whenever be would move his head to one side I would change the position of my hand, so that I never missed a drop during tbe whole time. "Suddenly he became quiet after I had dropped nearly all the water in the tub. "I commenced on Monday night about 10 o'clock, aud about noon next day he was dead. I am glad to say his iautt words were a prayer for my forgiveness." Japan's Door Opened. Washisotos, D. C, July IS. The new treaty between tbe United Stata and Jtpan goes into effect tomorrow, at w hich time new treaties between Japan and nesrly all of tbe countries of Europe and some of the South American Repub lics also go into effect. It ia an event of far-reaching importance in the relations between Japan and tbe United Stales, as it does away with the old treaty methods. Tbe new treaties place Japan on an en tirely new footing with the world at large, as she is recognized for the first time as an equal envoy. Under the old treaties aliens in Japan were amenable to tbe laws and jurisdic tions of tbe Consul of their own oountry and not to Japanese jurisdiction. The foreign residents in Japan were confined to certain open porta, outside of which they should not reside, own property or engage in trade. Most of tbe Powers claimed tbat the Japanese laws were not binding on foreigners. Foreign resideuts were immune from taxation. Until now there have been five tre.it y ports Yoko hama, Nagasaki, Kobe, Hakodate and Nigatt. The fin4 step in the new system is to put an end to the old fiction by which foreign citizens were judged by different standards from Japanese. Tbe second essential thing is the opening of the en tire interior of Japan to foreign residents and trade. Agniaalds Speaks. Aguinaldo, the Filipino leader, is quo te I aa having said in a recent speech at Tar lac, at a celebration of the anniversa ry of tbe Filipino declaration of inda pndence, that "We ahull see at last tbat tbe great American nalinn will acknowl eJga the right which is on our aide. Siine Stales in the American Union have ariseu in our favor. Especially i tbe Democra ic party convinced tbat both victors and vanquished will lose precious lives. Thus many of the people and many statesmen censure President Mc Kinley as inhuman for having ordered his military representatives at Manila to seek means to bring about hostilities with tbe Filipinos.". A GREAT GATHERIrtti IS NOW PREDICTED I The Republican State Convention Promises to Be a Mem orable Occasion. mm h rait cqstrol Many Candidates For Supreme Court Jus tice and the Soldier Favorites Will At tract Many Visitors. (Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, July IS. The indica tions are that the Republican state convention which will be held here on the 24th of next month will attract an unusually large number of Republicans from every section of the state, it is bound to be an interesting occasion. Chairman John P. Elk in, of the Repub lican state committee, has all tbe ar rangements well under way and seems pleased with the general situation. AH but about a score of the delegates have been elected, outside of Philadelphia, and many strong men are included among the several delegates. The stal wart Republicans will be in easy con trol of the convention. Cuttmel Quay has been elected a dele gate from Beaver county, and Senator Penrose will be on hand as the dele gate from the Eighth district of tbe Quaker City. General H. H. Bingham, a close friend of President McKinley. and who is on intimate terms with prospective Speaker of the House of Representatives Henderson, will be among others of the congressional del egation on hand to co-operate with the stalwart leaders. FOR A STRONG PLATFORM. The party managers are already giv ing consideration to the planks for the platform. It will unquestionably be a Btrong declaration of principles. The administrations of President Mc Kinley and Governor Stone will be cordially indorsed and the opportunity will not be allowed to pass to pay a tribute to tbe patriotism and the bravery of the American soldicc and sailor in the war with Spain and in the fighting in the Philippines. Special praise will, of course, be bestowed upon the gallant boys of the Keystone state, who will, it is hoped, by that time be back with "the fighting Tenth" regi ment from Manila. Stress will be laid upon tbe evidences of prosperity wit nessed all over the country as the re sult of the return of the Republican party to power In the governmenL The people will be reminded of the fact that the Democrats are agaia pressing William Jennings Bryan to the front for president, aud that the Democratic organization iu Pennsyl vania led off with a declaration in the state platform expressing admiration for bis "matchless leadership," and then nominated a full Bryan ticket, from Supreme Court Candidate Mes trezat down to Creasy, the nominee Jor state treasurer. LARGE NUMBER OF CANDIDATES. The big field of candidates for the nomination of supreme court justice, with the knowledge that there is to be a free for all contest for this honor, will contribute largely to the attend ance at the convention. Each of the aspirants for this honor wili have his enthusiastic champions on the ground early, working up his particular boom. There will be headquarters and badge galore, and a lively time may be look ed for. The various common pleas judges will all have many of the law yers from their respective localities on deck to sound their praises and a good natured rivalry in this direction will make the occasion a memorable one. The great interest aroused in the party throughout the state over this contest cannot but stimulate interest In the organization and enlist many new workers In the Republican cause. Lan caster county will have a big contin gent here urging the nomination of J. Hay Brown, if he shall conclude to become an active candidate for the supreme bench. Judge W. D. Parker, who has the Allegheny delegation at his back, will also have a large fol lowing. Lackawanna's favorite. Judge Arcbbald, has a host of friends, and from tbe adjoining county of Luzerne there will be a strong party of ad mirers of former Attorney General Palmer to nrge his claims. Judge Mc Connell will have enthusiastic support from Westmoreland, and McKean wi.'l put up a good fight for Judge Mor rison. The Indiana delegation has en tered Judge White for this grand prize and Judge Miller, of Mercer, and Judge Wallace, of Lawrence, will each have ardent advocates here to press their claims. There may be several ballots required to decide the winner. It will take 122 votes to nominate. PHILADELPHIA'S CANDIDATE. Tbe action of the Philadelphia dele gation may have great influence in determining the result. The Quakers have a candidate of their own for su perior court Justice in Josiah R. Ad ams. They may, therefore, deem it advisable to settle their votes among tbe several candidates for the su preme court, so as to arouse no an tagonisms to their favorite. Philadel phians who have been here recently say that arrangements have been mad-: to present the claims of their candi date, Mr. Adams, to the convention, so that there shall be no doubt of the fact that he is the choice of the Republi cans of that city for this nomination. Unusual conditions, they explain, making it desirable to have the nomi nations for county offices made at the same time the delegates to the state convention are chosen, have deferred the selection of the state delegates un til within a few days before tin state convention . convenes. Otherw ise the delegates would have been elected be fore this and gone on record in favor of Mr. Adams' nomination for the su perior court. The Philadelphia primaries will be held on Aug. 21 and tbe representative district conventions which will elect the delegates to the stale convention that will nominate two candidates for the common pleas court, one for sher iff, one for coroner and two for county ommissioners, will meet on the fol lowing day. It has been suggested that as soon as the delegates to the state convention shall be elected they be invited to meet on the afternoon of the same day to take action upon Mr. Adams' candidacy. It is proposed that resolutions shall then be adopted setting forth Mr. Adams' qualifications for a seat in the superior court, his sterling Republicanism and the senti ment among members of the bar, ir respective of party affiliations, in fa vor of his nomination for this po sition. The supporters of Mr. Adams believe the Philadelphia delegation will be unanimously for their favorite and it is with a desire to have this fact made apparent to the delegates from other sections of the state tbat the idea of holding a meeting of the delegates has teen advanced. There will be 243 delegates In tbe state con vention, and of these 64 will go from Philadelphia. The nomination for the superior court, it is believed, will be conceded to Philadelphia. There is no candidate in tbe field .'gainst Mr. Adams, nor is there likely to be. The impression prevails that his nomina tion will be made by acclamation. HAWKINS. IF HE WANTS IT. There have been several stories set afloat by the Insurgent leaders during the last week regarding the probable nominee for state treasurer. One of them was to the effect that former Congressman Huff had received a letter from Colonel Hawkins declaring that he would not be a candidate for stale treasurer. The party wreckers have been demoralized since It became ap- ; parent that the stalwarts will cheer fully support the gallant commander of the "fiahting Teuth" If he shall care to accept the nomination for treasurer, i "There is no truth in the report that I received a letter from Colonel Haw kins." declares Colonel Huff, eninbati- cally. "I did not write to Colonel Hawkins, nor refer to bis probable candidacy to any one. I believe Colo nel Hawkins, however, would make a more popular candiate than any yet named. Some of the colonel's closest friends have said that he will accept the noininatkn- if Co ion el liawk'-iis' wishes in this matter may not be known until he ar rives at San Francisco. If he should conclude to qualify as a state senator, to which office he was elected during his absence with his regiment, then Lieutenant Colonel Barnett, of the same command, who has been com mended In official orders for bravery in the Philippines, can have the nomi nation for treasurer if he desires it. The prospects of the nomination of either Hawkins or Barnett will bring a good many of the men of the Tenth reeriment here to boom their favorite officer. Hawkins and Barnett are close personal friends and there will be no friction betwetsn them over this mat ter of the treasurersbip. The name of General Schall, of Montgomery, will al3o be presented to the convention for this ofSte and he may eventually carry off the prize. Tbe Insurgents are being turned down in so many quarters that there ia no wondering at the desertion of their cause by some of the most active of their former newspaper support ers. In Chester county, when the in surgents were defeated in the Repub lican convention, they made a deal with the Democrats which resulted in the defeat of the regular Republican candidates for the legislature. These bolters were again defeated at the re cent Republican primaries by an over whelming vote. ' Killed ia Jail Gainesville, Gb.., July 15 Si Smith, the liaversbaw county farmer who kill ed William Ball, tbe commercial traveler from Atlanta, several months ago, wai shot to death in tbe jail here. About midnight Sheriff Muoday was awakened by a man at his door, who, when tbe sberitT answered the summons, stated tbat be was the sheriff of Gilmer county, and thai be had a prisoner he wanted to have locked up for the night. In the dark Sheriff Monday could see nothing but three or four men just outside the build ing, aud, bunicdly dressing himself, ap peared at tbe main enirauce to tbe jail building. Gathered aliout it were some eight or ten men, all of whom were arm ed. The sheritr took tbem for sheriffs. Tbe leader of tbe mob stepped forward aud said: "Here, come here," using a name the sheriff does not now recall. Tbe man stepped forward with bis hauds bound and in every way played well the role assigned to him. As he advanced tbiwe around him clueed iu and in a few seconds the entire crowd was inside tbe ail building. Then a gun wai thrown iu Sheriir Munday's face, and the keys were demanded. Tbe sheriff saw what was up and remarked: "Tbe keys are down stairs." "Well, get them quick," replied tbe leader. Sheriff Munday hurried down tbestair way, followed by two men. Half-way down tbe steps he was brought to a sud den stop by tbe rattle of firearms in the room be bad just lull. Wheeling around he bounded op tbe steps until be reached tbe cage in which Smith was confined. Upon examination he found tbat Smith had been shot six time and was dead. Bridegroom in a Bandbox. Bkthlkhkm, Pa, July !.". William James Green, tbe local midget cripple, who three weeks ago became a bridegroom was locked up in Eastou jail to-day for perjury. Tbe Constable wbo made tbe arrest found him bidden in a two-foot-high pasteboard bandbox, at his mother's home here. Green was first arrested an hour after he bad been married to Kathleen Frey, a buxom girl of 17 years. She is a giant ess, standing six feet one and a half inches in her slocking feet, while Green iu his crippled condition is ouly twenty three inches high. Kathleen's mother objected to tbe match and swore out a warrant for ber new son in-law, charging him with perjury iu representing tbe girl to be 21 years old when he took out the marriage license. Tbe Constable wbo then arrested him went along on a bail seeking expedition, and while tbe officer wa not looking Green secreted himself in a bureau draw er. Since then he has kept out of sight, b'H Officer Gross nabbed him to day. Green's strapping wife says she will go before Court and ak for permission to live with bim while he is in jail. Brother Found After Dutfl. Mem a. Pa., July 13. After parting from each other over 40 years ago, Henry L. Wright and Kdw in V.
