Mrs. Schenley was found in her luxurious
mansion in London by The Dispatch cor
respondent yesterday. She spoke) with
great freedom of her plans concerning
Pittsburg, and will visit America next
year. A site will be given for the blind
asylum at the eastern end of the park.
The Point rookeries are to be pulled down
as soon as possible. The tenants will be
prorided for in the suburbs.
IBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.!
London, June 28. lire. Schenley, the
lder, will visit Pittsburg next year. She
is anxious to make radical improvements in
s her property in the Gas City. She has had
a recent conference with Andrew Carnegie
concerning the park and the library, ard
Chief Bigelow will have his way concern
ing the blind asylum site. The historic
Point is to te completely renovated.
All these facts were ascertained by The
Dispatch correspondent to-day, in an ex
tended interview with the lady who owns
such a considerable portion of the city at
the confluence of the Alleghenyand Monon
gahela rivers. The Schenley mansion is lo-
t cated at 14 Prince's Gate, and overlooks
Hyde Park. It is one of the most fashiona-
ble locations in London, and wealth is rep
resented enormously oa every hand.
A Very Aristocratic Melchborhood.
One can stand on the doorstep of the
Schenley residence and see the scores of
aristocrats rushing down Rotten Bow to the
park. -The mansions at Prince's Gate are
f all of the most imposing kind, and only the
very wealthy people would ever dream of
residing there. The interior of the Schen
ley residence is all that luxury, grandeur
. and money can secure. The room in which
Mrs. Schenley was found was a maze of
luxury. The furnishings were unique and
. all that money could buy.
The Schenley family stand high socially
and appear to be held in high esteem by the
people in the neighborhood of Prince's
" Gate. Of course, one's neighbors in Lon
don may live miles away because, as a rule,
those living next door are not the real neigh
bors. But the trades people generally can
gire a tolerably true estimate of the charac
ter and standing of any family in their
neighborhood. In a talk with a provision
dealer whose place is not far from the Schen
ley residence, he spoke in glowing terms
about the Schenleys, saying:
"They're are fine people, sir. Fine peo
ple. Hi wish there were more of 'em, sir."
Kot a Remnrknblr ErtIj Riser.
The Schenlejs are thoroughly in the
"upper ten," and, indeed, it requires a lit
tle nerve for an humble correspondent to
ascend the mansion steps and pull tbe visit
ers' bell. A very amiable and affable
young footman responded. It was about
11:30, and after teliing the powdered and
liveried youth what I wanted, he said:
"The lady is not downstairs yet, sir. She
never con.es down, sir, belore 12 o'clock."
I took a walk for an hour and returned.
when I was guided into Mrs. Scheuley's
presence. I never met a more venerable
Jooking nor a more amiable lady. Mrs.
Schenley is the essence of frankness and
gentleness, and age has not by any means
destroyed the marks of beauty that still
make her face exceedingly attractive.
Speakinc ol Her Plan Freely.
Tbe object of the yisit was soon explained,
and the owner of so much valuable real es
tate across the water at once, became frank
and friendly. If Mrs. Schenley's plans are
carried out there will be some great changes
in Pittsburg next year. She said:
"Mr. Andrew Carnegie called on me tho
other day and we had a long conversation
about Pitisburg. I always like to talk to
anybody from Pittsburg. It is 20 years
since I was there, but I mean to try and
visit that citv next vear. I would lite very
much to be present at the opening of the
park, and if that event was to take place
next year I think I could manage it I am
much interested in the park, and Mr. Car
negie tells me that the art museum or
library is to be erected near the park. This
will add to the attractiveness of it
A Mile for the Blind Avium.
"Ecgarding the blind asylum, my son
and I have had the matter talked over, and
I think that I will give a piece of land for

Intended to give a piece of land at the
park entrance, but that would not do, you
fegnow. .reople sroing to the park to enjoy

jaueboly sight of a lot of blind people.
His feature alone caused me to chance

wdl out of the way there, as far as I. can

whom are unmarried, and my son, all to be

The Money Can ail be Spent.
"Beside that I have 16 grandchildren, so
you see there is plenty to do with the money.
But I am anxious to see Pittsburg do well.
My son, who was there recently, speaks
highly of the city and its people. Above all
he has amusing recollections of the news
paper reporters. He says they are wonder
ful lellows."
Mrs. Schenley talked at some length about
her property at the Point She said: "lam
aware that the Point is an eyesore to Pitts
burg, and -nobody is more anxious than Jam
to have all the old buildings torn down. I
think we will manage that shortly. Many
of tnerleases expire next year,.and then the
residents of those houses will have to move,
and the old rookeries will be torn down.
"Warehouses will be built in their places.
Prom what I am told warehouses are needed
in that part of the city. Certainly it will
be hard on the poor people who have to
move, but I think it will be better for them
Compering London to tbe Point.
"In some parts of London the Board of
"Works decided to pull down numerous old
houses that were known as the Eookeries.
Tbe residents were compelled to move, but
new honses were built in the suburbs and
the rents were cheaper than the rents of the
old houses. As a result tenants had better
houses, better air and less to pay. Those
tenants can get to their work for about a
penny on the tram cars. We can act simi
larly in Pittsburg. Good houses can be
built in tbe suburbs for those people whose
houses are torn down at the Point
"I must try and get to Pittsburg myself
next year and see what we can do. We
must have the old houses down and we must
also have some place for the tenants to go.
These are two things that must be done. I
believe thoroughly in having working peo
ple living amid pure air and it will be bet
ter for tbe tenants of tbe houses at the
Point if they move nearer the suburbs.
From what I am told they will have to do
that as all the property at the Point will
be needed for business purposes. One thing
tbat X don't want is for people to tbink that
I am careless of the welfare of the tenants.
Whatever changes we may make the ten
ants will be fairly dealt with."
Health Better Than Tor Years.
During a further conversation Mrs.
Schenley said: "My physician has during
recent years advised me.not to go to America,
and I spend each winter at Cannes, in the
South of Prance. That is a charming place.
I cannot stay in London during the winter.
But I trust I will be strong enough next
year to visit Pittsburg. I hope I will, as I
am feeling considerably stronger now than
I have for a long time. If all goes well
then I may safely say that I will get a look
at the new park next year. If I do I can
assure you that it will be one of the hap
piest times of my life."

BT DUSLAP'S CABLE COMPAST.
London, June 28. A spicy little drama
in one act and two scenes was performed
in old Bond street Characters by Her
Grace, the Duchess tf Montrose, and anun
known but beautiful lady in mourning. The
lady was gazing into a shop window, lost in
contemplation of the exquisite articles dis
played therein, when a magnificent carriage
with two powdered footmen and a bewigged
coachman in attendance drove by. In it
sat Her Grace, dressed in all the colors of
the spectrum and some additional hues, fat,
fair and more than 40, with a flaming red
parasol expanded. The Duchess suddenly
caught sight of the unknown lady. She
jumped to her feet, pulled the dignified
coachman by the tail of his gold-guarded
coat, ordered him to stop, flew out of the
carriage toward the lady, who turned pale
and tried to escape, but too late.
Tbe Duchess seized her by the arm and
poured forth a stream of excited words not
to be found in the.book of common prayer.
Tbe lady remained passive. The Duchess,
flaming with rage, raised her red parasol to
strike. The lady shrieked. .The spectators
acted the part of tbe Greek chorus and in
terfered in the action of the piece. Tbe
lady took refuge in a neighboring shop and
escaped, leaving no trace behind. The
Duchess being asked the cause of the as
sault as she was getting into her carriage,
said fiercely, "mind your own business,"
and the carriage rolled swiftly .away. This
affair is the talk of the clubs, but the mat
ter is being hushed up.

London, June 28. Julius M. Case, of
Marquette, Mich., who died suddenly at the
Victoria Hotel Thursday, from the effect of
the bursting of a blood vessel in the brain.
was very popular among his friends, al
though he cultivated one or two amusing ec
centricities to a decree that was sometimes
objectionable to the British. One of Case's
fads was his collect ton of walking sticks, of
all manner of odd and bizarre patterns.
Tbe more grotesque a stick was that
he saw in a shop window the surer he was
to buy it. One of his sticks had the head of
a bulidog, life-size, and Case would calmly
bear it in the street unmindful of the, fact
that every passerby stopped to look at him.
Another cane had the head of a monkey
which, when a spring was touched, stuck
out its tongue and winked its eyes, and Case
was fond ot walking down Piccadilly with
it under his arm, blinking and lolling Its
tongue while be appeared absolutely un
conscious that be was attracting attention.
Others of his sticks contained perfume
jountains, jacks in the box, whistles and
similar instruments of torture.
Case's lamous cane, however, was one
that had served as a sign iu an umbrella
shop. It was something like five feet long
and had a buckhorn handle six inches iu
circumference and at least three feet in
length. With this small tree it was Case's
delight to go out in Pall Mall and Picca
dilly in search of dudes. Whenever he
found a gilded youth carrying a walking
stick by the ferrule end with its handle
downward, after the fashion affected by the
London masher. Case would take his big
stick by the extreme tip, holding it up with
elbow akimbo, put a small monocle with a
black rim in his eye and ranging himself
about two feet in the rear of bis victim, fol
low him until he reversed his cane or got
into a cab to escape his tormentor. If the
hapless masher attempted to tire his pur
suer out, tbe Michigan man, never looking
to the right or t. left, and with
impassive countenance and solemn
mien, would follow the other from Regent
street to Hyde Park, or until a more exag
gerated specimen of the genns was flushed.
So regularly did Case avail himself of this
amusement that he became during his three
or four months' stay in the metropolis quite
a well-known figure in several prominent
thoroughfares, and tales of his persecutions
of the masbers have more than once ap
peared in the London newspapers.
His wife was with him at his death, but
his four children were at his home in Michi
gan. He was the son of a former Lieuten
ant Governor of Michigan, and was gradu
ated from Ann Arbor'ColIcge. He leaves a
fortune estimated at 55,000,000, and bis life
was insured for 5250,000. Mrs. Case has
sailed for America with her husband's bodv.

London, June 28. Kaiser Wilbelm,

Copenhagen, where he arrived this after

He had not then left the comparatively

FEDERAL ELECTION BILL PB0SPECTS.
The Measure Will Frotublj Pass the Honse and be
Left In Jhe Senate.
Representative Ewart, Republican, of
North Carolina, yesterday astonished his
colleagues by attacking the Federal election
bill. He declared that the Southern elec
tions were all right, and that the negroes
would pot vote the 'Republican ticket any
way. Tbe debate was lively, and at times
it resembled an incipient riot.
trnOM A STAIT .CORRESPONDENT.!
Washington. June 28. The bright,
able and aggressive Representative Mc
Comas, of the Cumberland, Md., district,
stirred up tbe Democrats of the Honse to-day
more than they have been at any time since
the "beginning of the debate on the
federal election bill, and for a
time riot reigned on the floor and the
galleries. The black section especially added
to the nproar by cheering McComas to the
echo.
Mr. McComas thinks he knows from ex
perience themethodsof Southern Democrats
in suppressing the negro vote, and every
word he uttered seemed to boil up from his
own experience and to touch the sore spots
of the Democrats like caustic The speech
of Henderson, of Iowa, was also one which
rang with aggressive words and roused the
Republicans and the galleries to rounds of
applause.
A REPUBLICAN BOLTEE.
The speeches of the Democrats were mild
and tame by comparison, and by far the
most pugnacious speech against the bill was
made by a Republican, Mr. Ewart, of North
Carolina. He outdid any of the Demo
crats in bis excited assertions that there was
no dishonesty or intimidation iu the elec
tions of the South, and made the assertion
that if left to themselves not three-tenths of
the Southern negroes would vote the Repub
lican ticket.
Mr. Ewart, in the course of his remarks,
said he was aware of the penalty he would
pay. Unfortunately politics had come to
such a pass that under the rule of King
Caucus men would vote for measures that,
deep down in their hearts, they did not be
lieve in. They knew down in their hearts
that this was as vicious a piece ot legislation
as ever was put on the statute books. As to
the negro's Dolitical rights, speaking for his
own State, he unhesitatingly asserted tbat
no Republican in tbe State, black or white,
was prevented feom casting his Vote.
FAIR F.LECTIOKS IN OAHOLINA.
The elections there were absolutely fair.
There were men in the South who hated the
negro and abused them. Sometimes they
were punished, and sometimes not But the
entire people of the South should not be
blamed for the acts ot a few lawless men.
He was sick and tired of the sentimental
talc of the negro problem.
There was no such problem. It was a
delusion to suppose the negro was voting
the Republican ticket solidlv. He was
doing nothing of tbe kind. Many of them
were voting tbe Democratic .ticket; and it
was getting more and more difficult every
year lor the Republican party to control the
negro.
Mr. Ewart and Mr. Lehlbach, of New
Jersey, are the two Republicans so far who
have pronounced against the bill. There
mayJbe one or two more from the Soutb and
that is tbe extent of the defection according
to Republican estimates."
ABSASONFOB IT.
The position of the Southern Republicans
is explained by the fact that it is quite as
unpopular for a Republican to be an advo
cate of negro equality as it is for a Demo
crat The Republicans who are here were
elected in spite of the suppression of negro
votes and having their districts Republican
already do not wish to lose any white sup
port by espousing the cause of the negro. A
Western Republican to-dav characterized
the Southern contingest as the meanest set
of white-livered cowards he had ever seen,
not one of tbern apparently having the
courage to speak boldly in the cause of
humanity.
The Republicans are drumming up every
member ot their party to be present to vote
next Wednesday on the bill, and no one
seems to have a doubt that the measure will
pass by a majority of from 10 to 12. It is
not by any means so certain, that tbe bill
will have a smooth passage in the Senate.
In fact there are whimperings audible and
suggestive that one or two of the leading
Republicans will be found indifferent to the
passage of tbe bill.
CAMEBON AGAINST IT.
It is said tbat Senator Cameron is not
very ardent in his support or advocacy of it
He is a great personal friend of Senator
Butler, ot South Carolina, and it will be
remembered that Cameron's vote secured
Butler his seat in the Senate. Mr. Cameron
has large interests in the South; and Hamil
ton Disston, of Philadelphia, who is a close
friend of the Pennsylvania Senator, has
large land interests in Florida.
It is also said that Senator Edmunds is
not a warm advocate of a Federal election
law. He is a power in the Senate, and if
his influence on the passage of the bill
would be felt if it is true, as stated, that he
is by no means committed to its support.
Prom a number of sources to-day your repre
sentative learned tbat Edmunds' position
was decidedly adverse to the election bill.
So lar as the Democrats in the Senate are
concerned, they have not yet canvassed the
subject, and have only considered it in
formally. That they propose to have the
fullest and freest debate on the matter is
certain, and a leading Southern Democrat
said to-day the bill would be before the
Senate many weeks if any attempt was
made to limit the debate.
EDMUNDS ON DEBATE.
He quoted the remarks of Senator Ed
munds on Thursday, when the bill for the
admission of Wyoming was under discus
sion. On this occasion Mr. Edmunds said:
An order of tbe Senate changes its standing
rules In respect to the liberty at debate, and I
believe in tbe liberty of debate in this body. If
any Senator wishes to debate In order to pro
crastinate affairs, bis brother Senators who do
not like it cau stay as well as lie can and have
it out. There ought to be one body in this
country where freedom of debate may continue
as it has always in this body. It has always
been understood tbat these unanimous under
standings, while they bound tbe honor of gen
tlemen fully and fairly, were not a rule of tbe
Senate, but I assume tbat every gentleman
present and every one not present is jnst as
much bound as if it were an order of the
Senate. '
Mr. Hale I suppose that tbe freedom of de
bate, ihlch I believe is for this bodr as much
as the Senator from Vermoht,does not prevent
all tbe Senators present at any time from
agreeing not to talk. It ought not to.
.Mr. Stewart Mr. President, if these agree
ments are not binding; and not so regarded by
members ot the Senate, it will lead to very un
pleasant results. There is much talk about
having tbe previous question. Tho unanimous
agreement takes the place of it. and 'enables
us to terminate debate. When I was in the
Senate previously 1 never knew such an agree
ment violated. If it can be Kept sacredly by
all Senators it answers every purpose and gives
us the freedom of debate.
Mr. Edmunds And it always is.

Free Coinage Advocates Endeavoring to
. Continue the Combination Which Won

Sorao Sadden Move Is Under Contempla
tion. tSFECIAL TELEGBAK TO THE DISPATCH.!
Washington, June 28. Telegrams
have been sent to all tbe absent Republican
Senators asking them to return immediately
to the city, the purpose being to hold a Re
publican caucus to decide on conferees for
the silver bill. The situation is peculiar
in the Senate inasmuch as a few Republi
can Senators united with, the Democrats
in voting for free coinage against the
decision of the Republican caucus. This
combination the Democrats -are anxious to
keep up. Mr. Gorman and the other Demo
cratic leaders are very Indignant because all
the Democrats in the -House did not stick to
free coinage and try and force such a meas
ure through. Mr. Gorman thought that
would be "sharp politics," as it would em
barrass the administration.
They have proposed tn,. the Rennblican
free-coinage Senators, including Mr. Cam
eron, to vote for the appointment of three
free-coinage conferees. The Speaker of the
House has placed one -free-coinage repre
sentative, Mr. Bland, on he House Confer
ence Committee.and should the combination
in the Senate take the appointment of con
ferees out of the Vice President's hands and
appoint three free coinage men to represent
the Senate, that wonld make a majority of
the Conference Committee in favor of free
coinage.
The Republicans are anxious to have this
matter controlled by their own party,instead
of allowing tbe Democrats to manage it in
the Senate. Hence a Republican caucus
will be held with a view to arriving at some
satisfactory' conclusion if possible. The
report that telegrams were sent out for the
absentees has alarmed some of the Demo
crats who think they foresee a scheme to
bring up the election bill as soon as it
passes the House and push it through the
Senate before the tarifl bill is taken up.
While tbls is not the object of bringing the
absent Senators back, it is not improbable
tbat when the election bill reaches the Sen
ate that course will be followed.
ANOTHER COUNT ORDERED.
The Disputed Blinnenpollc Districts Will be

Washington asking for.this recount

to do this work, and suggested if it were
necessary to accomplish it in a week, that
these districts be divided up still further

CPaOli A STATP COBUESPOHDZXT.3
Washington, June 28. It is now the
purpose of the Senate 'Finance Committee
to call up the tariff biil one week from next
Monday. A number of slight alterations
will be'made next week, but probably noth
ing looking toward the reciprocity proposi
tions of Mr. Blaiue.
If any further change be made in tbat re
spect it will probably be in tbe direction of
increased duty on sugar, which would be in
accord with Sir. Blaine's snggestion that
the present duty should be retained nnless
decreased in the interests of reciprocity.

rSPXCIAL TELEGBAK TO THE DISPATOH.I
Cbesson, Pa., June 28. The members
of the American Society of Civil Engineers
under the charge of R. E. Pettitt, went by
special train on a jaunt to Bell's Gap -this
afternoon, and spent several hours in that
picturesque region, returning about 1 o'clock
this afternoon. A business meetingiwas
then held, when the reports of different
committees were heard, that of tbe revision
of the constitution and by-laws taking up
moat of the time.
Mr. James Francis, now located nt Lowell,
Mass., one of the oldest engineers in the
United States, is here. He was one of the
committee tbat investigated the cause of
thebreakingof the South Fork dam. The
examination was made as soon as railroad
communication was established after the
breaking of the dam, and was very thorough.
It was conducted bv Mr. Francis, Max G.
Becker, Alphonse Fetley and W. C.
Worthen, all prominent men in the profes
sion. There is no disposition yet to allow
publication of the report
In reference to this Mr. Francis did not
hesitate to sav that he did not approve of
holding back' the report. It has been held
back, he says, at the instance of Mr. Becker,
who first introduced the idea that they
should not permit it to influence pending
litigation, and the other members of the
committee bad deferred to him.
Mr. Francis is now iniavorof having the
report made public, but does not care to
argue against the wishes of Mr. Becker,
and, as no other member of the society cares
to push; the matter, it will be let alone. Mr.
Becker Is the Engineer of the Pittsburg,
Cincinnati and St. Louis Railway, and re
sides in Pittsburg.

people win. The convention at Scranton
will be both big; and lively.
rSPECMX. TXLEOKAX TO TKE.BISPATCK.I
PHILADELPHIA, June 2SL--At Scranton
on Wednesday next the'Democratic State
Convention meets for the purpose of nom
inating; a State ticket in opposition to DeIaT
mater; Watres and Stewart The contest
for first place on the Democratic ticket is
between ex-Senator Wallace, of Clearfield,
and ex-Governor Pattison, of this city. The
friends of both are still somewhat confident
of winning. '
Ex-Senator Wallace is in New York.but he
will to-night leave that city for Scranton,
where he has engaged headquarters at the
Wyoming Hotel. Before leaving for New
York Mr. Wallace, after a careful exami
nation of the list of delegates, said: "I am
confident of winning the nomination for
Governor by at least 350 majority. I have
gone over the field carefully, and have al
lowed the opposition every single vote about
which there mav be a doubt, and I cannot
see what they base their hopes of winning
upon." - '
A VEBT BOLD STATEMENT.
"Further than that," continued Mr. Wal
lace, "I have given the other side all the
delegates which are yet to be elected, and I
am still prepared to stand by my original
statement The convention will'decide the
questions and I feel confident of its result
ing in my favor."
Ex-Governor Pattison has not vet made
any statement regarding his candidacy or
its prospects. Mr. Pattison's chosen leader,
ex-Postmaster Harrity, has been the medium
through which the Pattison news has
reached tbe public, and he in the most con-'
fident manner predicts the ex-Governor's
nomination. ,
The Pattison leaders are claiming 48
delegates from this city, leaving but 14 for 4
tne wanace people, wnuetne latter, wun a
strong degreeof confidence, are claiming 28
delegates for-Wallace, an equal number for
Pattison and the remaining six in doubt
As both sides are apparently in 'earnest in
their claims, it is evident that one side will
be badly fooled when the convention meets.
THE HOPES OJ- HENSEL.
Ex-State Chairman William U. HeuseL,
of Lancaster, and Robert E. Wright, of
Lehigh county, have secured the indorse
ment of tbeirrespective counties, and have
the delegates instructed in their behalf. Of
tbe two Hensel has the largest' following,
ana in the event of the convention being
tied' up, the admirers of the ex-Chairman
live in the hope that he may be able to se
cure the nomination.
Robert E. Wright, of Allentown, who has
been indorsed by the Lehigh County Con
vention, is not regarded as seriously in the
race for Governor, but his friends may make
a determined effort in his behalf to have
him named for second place on the ticket.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Chauncey F.
Black, of York county, who has been prom
inently mentioned lor the Gubernatorial
nomination is understood to be out of the
race, and to favor the nomination of Mr.
Hensel. Many of the prominent leaders
who fear that the nomination of either of
the favorite candidates may lead to trouble
in the party and who desire a new man, will
willingly accept either Mr. Hensel or Mor
timer F. Elliott, of Tioga.
A FACTOB IN THE FIGHT.
With Hensel as a candidate, with 30 votes
in the convention, in view of the present
condition of things he may be able to so
shape affairs as to give bis closest friends
control of the State organization, which will
be a powerful factor in the election of Na
tional delegates in 1892.
Should the Wallace forces control the
convention, as they declare they will, they
will name JohnE. Fannce, of this city, ex
Speaker of tbe House of Representatives,
for Lieutenant Governor, and Captain A.
A. Clay, of Elk county, lor Secretary of
Internal Affairs. Should the Pattison
forces control the convention, ex-Congressman
Maish, of York county, is likely to be
the candidate for Lieutenant Governor with
ex-Postmaster Larkin, of Allegheny, men
tioned for the Secretaryship of Internal
Affairs.
As behooves the skillful politician the
leaders knowing well the effect of a pre
mature declaration for tbe tail end of the
ticket are keeping very quiet, and are not
disposed to say or do anything which will
have a tendency to injure the chances of
him whom tbey prefer to? see named for tbe
office of Governor. Ex-Secretary Wallace
and ex-Governor Pattison, who are tbe
leaders in the race, will be in Scranton on
Monday.
PHILADELPHIA TO THE PBONT.
The delegates from tbe interior counties
of the State are not expected to be on the
ground early, but the Philadelphia delegates
and their friends will leave tor Scranton on
Monday in order to be early on the ground.
Ex-Postmaster Harrity, City Chairman
Donnelly, William M. Singerly and others
of the city leaders who favor Pattison for
the nomination will leave for Scranton on
Monday morning early, while tbe Wallace
end of it, comprising among others Messrs.
Patterson, Josephs and McGowan, will not
leave until late in the day.
The Wallace forces will gather together at
the Wyoming Hotel, where headquarters
have been engaged by the ex-senator.
Nearly every room in" the hotel has been
taken by tbe Wallace people, and but few,

hotel, where. roo'js have been engaged not

JSrZCIAL TXLSQBAH TO THE DISFATCH.I
Long Bbanch, June 28. W. L. Scott
was interviewed concerning the political
outlook in Pennsylvania. In response to
questions he said:
I look upon tbe election tbls fall as one of the
moit Important State elections tbat bas ever
taken place. Eliminating and not considering
the charges which have been brought against
Messrs. Quay and JJelamater, it is. never
theless, an absolute fact that a
convention of Republican delegates, rep
resenting over 500,000 Republican vot
ers, have, at tbe dictum of Senator
Quay, nominated a candidate for Governor
who does not represent the wishes of the great
body of. the Republican party of the State.
'The Harrisburg convention that nominated
Senator Delamater was as much tbe tool of
Senator Quay as if be absolutely owned tbe
majority of tbe delegates. Tbe important
quostians that will be presented to the
voters of Pennsylvania In November are the
questions of tariff reform, the reduc
tion and equalization of State taxation in the
interest of tbe great mass of tbe people, tbe re
form of our election system, and a general re
form of the civil service, (which I notice tbe
Republican convention at Harrisburp; forgot
to refer to,) as against bossism and the indi
vidual control ot a great party. These issues
could not be presented more clearly and dis
tinctly and freer fiom all other Issues than
tbey will be to the voters of Pennsylvania this
fall.
If Governor Pattison Is the nominee of the
Scranton Convention, and X assume that be
will be beyond question, his nomination will
be the outgrowth of the public sentiment of
tbe masses of the Democracy of the State in
opposition to what we may properly designate
the representative Democratic leaders and
party managers of our party, who have
largely favored the nomination of ex-Senator
Wallace. The friemls of 31 r. Wallace bave
based bis claims for the nomination upon
tbe fact of his great ability as a political organ
izer. He bas been an avowed candidate for
over a year, and, from my own personal know
ledge, bas left notbing undone that was possi
ble in his power to do to insure his nomination,
backed as be has undoubtedly been by tbe
most powerful corporations of the State. It
now looks as If his candidacy will result
in ntter failure. Sixty days ago Governor
Pattison was not a candidate, but undoubt
edly to-day the delegates in his favor
are largely in excess of those for Mr.
Wallace, and it is the people who have accom
plished tbls and not the politicians. If Gov
ernor Pattison Is nominated we will have two
candidates, one of whom was nominated by
tbe public sentiment of the party he reore-
sents. and the other by tbe individual dlctpm
of Senator Quay. Governor Pattison's past
record is a better guarantee of what his future
course will be than anything that I can say
about him. I don't see bow it Is possible, if
Pattison is nominated, to defeat him.

Greatest Danger.
TO-DAI WILL BE A CEITICAL ONE
Despite the discouraging results of yes
terday's work, the rescuing party are seek
ing an entrance into the burning mine. It
is claimed that the maps of the Hill Farm
mine are wrong. Tha fire has partially sub
sided at the mouth of the pit. Contribu
tions are coming in for the benefit of the
miners' families.
IPROM A STATT CORRESPONDENT.!
DtrsBAE, June 28. At 8 o'clock this
evening the situation was thus: The
miners working from the Mahoning mine
had passed 30 feet beyond tbe point where
they would bave struck the aimed-for room
from the Hill Farm mine had the map of
the latter mine been correct- All are
agreed to-day that the map of the Hill
Farm is not correct. It was made by J. D.
Boyd, ot TJniootown. A telegram was sent
to him to-day, asking him to come down to
Dunbar and explain b is map. He has not
come yet, Ifhismaphad been right, the
rescuing workers would have struck the
room branching out from the burning mine
at 2 o'clock this morning. When tba
point was passed and no chamber was dis
covered, it was decided to dig straight
ahead. f
WOBKISO TJNDEE A2T TXSCEKTATJITT.
According to the map another chamber
should be reached 40 feet further on, but
here a sad uncertainty affects the inspectors
and others who are directing the work. If
the map be incorrect in regard to one part
of tbe mine it may be, and is likely to be, in
regard to other parts. Still the diggers
work away. Sooner or later tbey must strike
something. By the calculations which In
spector Keighley now makes tbe men were
within 21 feet of the second room at 2 o'clock
this afternoon. At that hour a new shift of
33 men was sent down. They came out at 8
o'clock this evening They reported that
they had made ten feet of progress in good
coal. This leaves only 11 ftet to be worked,
and tbe shift sent to work from 8 this even
ing until 2 o'clock in the morning may macs
this distance. At any hour after midnight
a chamber of the Hill farm mine may be
entered. This, of course, depends upon tha
accuracy of Boyd's map.
BAD AIE CATJSIHO TROUBLE..
The air in the face where the men are
working is very bad. Half of the time
men are busy lighting their lamps. The air
irom the fau at the mouth scarcely reaches
them at all. The utmost care is shown
to see that the lamps are tight, so tbat tbey
may not ignite noxious gases when the
opening is made. This evening 20 miners
came over from Scottdale to relieve tba
toilers here, many of whom are nearly worn
out The men show the most stolid forti
tude, going down without hesitation into
the Mahoning slope, whence tbey may never
come again to look upon the sky. Few
hesitate who are experienced miners.
WORKING EVERT OTHER TORN.
The shifts are of six hours each, but not a
few of the men work every other shift,
sleeping between in tents or even under
aider bushes on the hillside. There is a '
general belief that the cut came so near ona
of the deserted chambers of the Hill Farm
last night that a draft of air went through
crevices in the slate and coal and fanned
the Hill Farm slope into flames. Fire and
smoke rolled ont of that pit nearly all day,
but about 5 o'clock this evening suddenly
almost ceased. The timbers have .been
burned away and portions of the slope have
at last fallen in. The mine is now choked v
up. If fire is burning within there is no
outlet, This increases the danger to tha
rescuers.
WORK FRAUGHT WITH DANGER.
If they tap an opening the flames may at
once burst into the outlet. Other miners
from Westmoreland county are expected
here to-morrow to assist in the work. Word
has been sent abroad generally for such aid
as can come. Money comes in slowly.
In all Treasurer Weaver has received
51,285. The last contribution this evening;
was $00, sent by William Busb, of Dawson.
This is for tbe relief of some 90 wives and
children of the entombed men and three idla
miners. Many of the latter have not asked
aid.
Large crowds of men and women surround
the police lines to-night, waiting as they
have waited for many nights before, hoping;
that every minute news may come of the lost
ones, fearing that every minute that death
may claim those now living who are toiling
to reach those already dead. For all say
that there is great'danger, that another dis
aster may chase the heels of the first.
The moon shines down to-night calmly on
the glen where the slope goes down. The
people standing abont are quiet. Weary
Inspectors and policemen here and there are
trying to sleep. The only sounds are those
of the tireless engine running the pnmp and
the air fan. Hassler.
THE FAULTY MINE MAPS.

tTBOM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
Dumbar, Pa., June 28. People away
from here have been for ten days puzzled to
understand the situation at the mines.
Every man says to himself: "It is only a
question of figures. There were so many
feet and no more between the two mines.
When tbat distance was dug through
there should have been an end."
That there has not been an end simply
means that there has been careless work in
the preparation of mine plans and already
not onlv miners, but citizens of other call
ings are talking about what the Legislature
must do next winter. There mnst be a law
