All signs at Scranton point to the nomi
nation of Robert E. Pattison for Governor
by the Democratic convention. Wallace is
working hard in a last desperate effort to
effect a combination on anybody bat his
chief opponent His efforts seem to be
futile, and the ex-Governor may winon the
first ballot.
rrnouA BTArr conEEsroxDEirr.i
Sceanton, July 1. The "Wallace cam
paign weakened this evening, and Pattison
will co into tbe convention in the morning
with the chances for victory strongly on his
side. "When it was found that there would
be 19 contested seats both candidates
shrewdly foresaw the power that
y in the hands of a committee
t credentials. Seventeen delegates
holding these disputed seats are on "the roll
as Pattison men. The other two are for
"Wallace. Immediately a struggle com
menced on both sides for the control of the
committee that will be delegated to decide
tbe contests. If the "Wallace men could get
it they would oust many of the 17 Pattison
retainers.
An Important Point Gained.
The Pattison forces fought for the com
mittee to protect the 17 and the Pattison
people won. The committee consists of CO
members, one from each Senatorial district
in the State, the delegates from each dis
trict naming their own members. Under
this system one candidate may have a ma
jority of tbe Senatorial district and another a
majority of the ronvention,but it is probable
now that Pattison has the majority in both
instances.
They claim to have 28 of the 50 members
of the committee on their side, and enough
Totes in the ennvention at large to nominate
'Pattison easily, possibly on first ballot.
Accessions to the Pattison ranks are
laimed to-night One of the managers of
he ex-Governor's headquarters states that
iy personal interviews with the delegates
emselves they are now sure of seven of the
lontgomery county delegates, leaving Wal-
ace only three there; that Pattison will also
iceive four from Northumberland county,
and possibly 12 in Berks.
Cambria on tbe First Ballot.
Mifflin is divided, so is Centor, while
Cambria county delegates will obey their
attison instrnctions on first ballot, at
east Radical Pattison calculations call
'or 53 of the Philadelphia delegates, because
;he Twenty-first ward of that city to-day
tanged front for Pattison, but a more con
servative count would be better at 48.
Dot TierhaDS the most Klfrnifipanf citrne nf
k Wallace's desperation is the fact that to
-night he resorted to deals, with the motto,
'Anything to beat Pattison." The first
"dicker took the form of a proposition to
fchauncey F. Black and Robert E. "Wright,
that in the event of Wallace's failure to get
jtbe nomination on first ballot that all the
Votes of Wallace's and Wright's counties
0 to Black for Governor on second ballot
"Wright is from Lehigh and Black irom
York.
Cannot Deliver tbe Goods.
i
It was also proposed to get Hensel, of Lan-
" caster, into this scheme. Each of these three
counties' delegates are instructed respective
t ly for Black, Wright and Hensel for first
place. They aggregate 27 votes, which, with
the total of Wallace's Totes, would be suffi
tcient to defeat Pattison. But ud to mid
night nothing had been accomplished for the
reason that not one of the four candidates in
t terested in the dicker could deliver the
( goods.
.For Wallace to propose such a proposi
tion was a public admission of his fear that
be cannot be nominated. The moment he
would try to transfer his support to others,
- delegates would desert to Pattison for the
reason that, being freed from their Wallace
'o instructions, ihey would feel bonnd to fol
low the trend of publie sentiment and not
against it
,-f " Breaking Away to tbe Winner.
, J Center county men threatened to go to
Pattison if Wallace did not remain in the
r. field. The Cambria men, who were sus-
cted of being ready to break their Pat-
"feisoB instructions for Wallace, wanted to do
cmlyfor a warm personal regard for the
jtii
Clearfield man, and not from any revenge
ful desire to defeat Pattison.
Xiock Haven and Williamsport delegates
later became weak-kneed in their well
known support of Wallace when they heard
of the dicker. In other particulars, too, the
combination would not work. Black could
not deliver the goods because there is a
Pattison sentiment in his delegation.
Congressman Maish, of York, is
an acceptable candidate at Pat
tison headquarters for Lieutenant
Governor, and that tiekles Mr. Black's con
stituents to such an extent that they refuse
to truckle to Wallace's crowd. Hensel was
unable to transfer all of Lancaster's dele
gates, although he could do it easier than
Black, and was therefore a better possibili
ty to-night
Trying to Combine on Hensel.
They thonght once of making Hensel the
head of the ticket on second ballot, and run
ning Bobert B. Allen, of Lycoming county,
with him in second place in order to recon
cile Lycoming and Lock Haven votes.
Hensel on second ballot for Governor was
for a time Wallace's favorite, but at this
writing the scheme is far from completion,
and may fall entirely through before morn
ing. At Mr. Wright's headquarters it was
stoutly asserted that their candidate was in
the field to stay, but they virtually admitted
that their favorite would be satisfied with a
second place on the ticket, and that to ac
comDlish this it might be necessary to make
a deal. The delegation numbers in all
eight, and of this seven are claimed to have
individual preferences for Wallace and one
for Pattison. They are all, however, so en
thusiastically attached to Wright that he
can use them in any way he chooses to
secure the second place on the ticket
Trains to Prolong tbe Fight.
Another trick resorted to by Wallace to
night is to get all the delegates in the coun
ties surrounding Lehigh county to vote for
Wright on first ballot The object of this
is to try to keep Pattison's vote
on first ballot down as low as possible.
Wallace may be depended upon to make a
remarkably stubborn fight on first ballot
He will die game.,
To show what fine details he is working it
was discovered late to-night that his lieu
tenants were striving to get Colonel
Hill, of Payette county, to exchange
places with John Boyle of TJniontown. on
committees. Hill was named by his dele
gation for Committee on Credentials and
Boyle is on the Organization Committee.
The Fayette delegation is in
structed for Pattison, but Boyle is
a personal friend of Wallace's, and if he
could get on the Committee on Credentials
he could help Wallace without breaking his
instructions to vote for Pattison by deciding
contests for the Clearfield man.
Tbe Opposition Fulling Every String.
Other attempts have been made at similar
exchanges and in some instances have suc
ceeded better than in Payette. That is
what a Wallace man meant late to-night
when he said: "Well, if Pattison's friends
are in the majority on the committee on
contested seats, I think it will deal fairly
with us to-morrow."
Allegheny county will have four mem
bers on this Contested Seat Committee, one
tor each of her Senatorfal districts. Only
one will vote to decide contests in favor of
Wallace. That will be Charles H.
Anderson, of the Forty-third dis
trict The other three members of
the company from Pittsburg and vicinity.
Messrs. Fred Manley, Lew Holtzman and
James E. Moran will all vote to keep the
Pattison men in their seats. Anderson
was named at a little caucus to
night of the seven walking delegates
from Allegheny county. They did not
attend the meeting of the Allegheny dele
gation this afternoon, but awaited the ar
rival of Patrick Foley, of Pittsburg, at 9
to-night Foley is entirely left out in this
convention.
A Fight on Every Motion Expected.
The convention will he a battle ground
on every motion. Very lively times are
anticipated, but in the end a harmonious
result is confidently expected. Attorney
John C. Shoemaker, of Pittsburg, who
was billed to second the nomination
of Mr. Pattison, will make no
speech. He courteously gives way to allow
more time and latitude to ex-Secretary
Stenger, who will nominate the ex-Governor.
.Judge John Horvis, of Bellefonte, will
nominate Mr. Wallace. All speeches will be
brief. The Lieutenant Governor on the
Pattison ticket would be either Maish or
Black, and the Secretary oflnternal Affairs
a Western man, possibly ex-Pension Agent
Barclay, of Pittsburg. John Larkin de
clines to be a candidate, but names Barclay.
If Wallace should be nominated Wright or
Faunce would be his running mate.
Late th's afternoon a telegram was sent
to Hoa. Thomas M. Marshall, of Pittsburg,
from a Pattison supporter, asking him it he
knew that Senator Wallace's friends caused
to be placarded about the corridors of the
different hotels, cards on which the follow
ing is printed in bold type:
Alleged Indorsement From Marshall.
Glorious Tom Marshall, the most talented
Republican lawyer of Pittsburg, says: "Wallace
is a great man. I know him personally. Ho is
the only man who can defeat JJelamater."
2To answer was received up to midnight,
probably because Mr. Marshall had lelt his
office before the telegram reached there.
John M. Reynolds, of Somerset county,
has been chosen on the Committee on Cre
dentials for the Thirty-sixth Senatorial
district, comprising the counties of Somer
set and Bedford. He favors Senator
Wallace. The Fourth Senatorial district
comprises the counties of Lawrence and
Mercer. Lawrence's two delegates are for
Wallace, and Mercer's four lor Pattison.
The district will elect a committeeman who
will favor the Pattison contests.
I asked 'Squire Holtzman, of the Alle
gheny delegation, whether the 15 Pattison
men would stick to the ex-Governor through
thick and thin.
"My little boy is named after Pattison,"
he replied, "and Jimmy Moran has a boy
by the name of Pattison Cassiday Moran.
That's the kind of men we are."

SCEANTON, July L All day the streets
were thronged with crowds, and the corri
dors of the leading hotels were scenes of ex
citement At the headquarters of the Scran
ton Central Democratio Club in Music Hall,
on Lackawanna avenue, Hon. M. F. Sands
and a corps of assistants were busily en-
crntrpd directing the ranldlv firrivino 7oTa
gates to hotels and boarding houses. Thus
lar no difficulty nas ueeu met in the way of
KApnrin.-nrrommodations. Th hpndnnai-
ters of the club are tastefully decorated, and
mncn taDies are spread tor me delegates and
their friends as they arrive.
The Reception Committee are earnest in. I
their efforts to accommodate the crowds
which arrive on each train, and are succeed
ing beyond expectation. The arrival of
each train is anticipated by a band of music,
and the incoming delegates and boomers are
escorted first to the club's headquarters and
then to the rooms of their respective favor
ites in to-morrow's great contest
bcranton In Holiday Attire.
Lackawanna avenue, the -principal thor
oughfare in the city, and along which the
arrivals and their friends necessarily pass
from the depots, is adorned on each side
with gaily decorated bnildings and presents
a holiday aspect The early morning trains
brought detached lots of delegates in
small numbers from different points
throughout the State. Prominent
among the arrivals in the early
part of the day was Robert Emmett Wright,
Allentown's offering to the Gubernatorial
galaxy. Mr. Wright had spent the night
in Wilkesbarre. He was met by his son, J.
Marshall Wright, who had been managing
his boomlet here since Saturday. He took
up quarters in the Wyoming House, ou the
same floor as those occupied by Senator
Wallace.
During the day he was " visited by a
nnmber of friends, who, though not as
numerous as the adherents of the two lead
ing candidates, were still enthusiastic and
hopeful that their favorite might by some
of the chances of variable fortune, reach the
goal of his ambition. Things brightened
up around the Wright headquarters about
330 P. m., when the Alleqtown Democratic
Club, 75 strong, arrived in the city. They
were escorted by a band of music to
Wright's headquarters at the Wyoming
House. Mr. Wright appeared on the bal
cony of the hotel and said:
Candidate Wright's Utile Speech.
Fellow Citizens and Democrats of Lehigh connty
and the Lehigh Valler:
I thank you for this demonstration and the
spirit which prompts it. 1 cannot accept it as
an oration for myself, bat rather for the prin
ciples which yon cherish and which yon hope
to perpetnate. Whatever candidate to-morrow's
convention may nominate, whether it be
Senator Wallace or Governor Pattison,, I can
not help but feel that the citizens of the great
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will, by their
votes, repudiate the methods and principles
used and promulgated at Harrisburg by elect
ing him by a handsome majority.
At Senator Wallace's headquarters all
was bustle and excitement Throughout
the day he was in close conference with his
most trusted lieutenant, B. F. Meyers, of
Harrisburg; Judge Orvis, of Center county;
F. J. Fitzsimnions, of Scranton, and scores
o! others. At 1:45 in the afternoon a Clear
field county contingent, 150 in number, ar
rived. They were met at the depot by
Bauer's Band and the Reception Committee
of the Central Democratic Club, and es
corted to the AVallace headquarter;. The
Clearfield Cornet Band also accompanied
the delegation. The Clearfield county states
man appeared on the balcony and said:
Wnllaco Also Makes a Bid.
Fellow Citizens and Neighbors:
I am glad to see so many of you here In at
tendance upon a Democratic Convention. That
is democracy, f Cheers. 1 know that you are
Interested In my success, for I am one of you,
and yon know that my sympathies have always
been with you. Whatever the outcome of this
convention, a harmonious, united, aggressive
Democracy will be victorious.
At 230 in the atternoon the Wallace
boom was further strengthened by the ar
rival of the Blair County Democratic Club,
110 men in line, all wearing Wallace
badges and shouting for the man from Clear
field. They arrived on the D. & H. train
and were closely followed by the Central
Democratic Club of Harrisburg, 100 men,
led by the State Capital Band. Among the
members of the Blair conutyclnb were John
E. Hell, Thomas Greevy, City Recorder
John Doyle, A. "V. Divelv, A. L. Landis,
Frank Patterson and chief engineer ol the
Altoona fire department, Frank Malloy.

The Harrisburgers w?re led by Mayor
Fritchie, Mandain Hamilton, Chairman" of
the City Democratic Committee; Ellis L.
Mnmma, of the Harrisburg Patriot; Valen
tine Hnmmell, W. K. Meyers, son of Edi
tor Meyers, and John McConkey.
Senator Wallace appeared on the balcony
of the hotel "with B. F. Meyers at his side,
and bowed to the delegations, but did pot
speak. Accompanying the Altoona club
was a contingent from Lewisburg, about 20
in number, mostly Wallace men. Among
them were Daniel Cox and Johnson Van
Valzah, prominent Union county attorneys.

IFROM X STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
Sckanton, July 1. At 4 o'clock the
Iroquois Democratic Club of Philadelphia,
100 men, arrived, adorned with Wallace
badges. They were accompanied by a band
of music from Philadelphia. Bauers' Band
escorted them to the Wyoming House,
where they were greeted by ex-Senator
Wallace lrom the balcony in front of his
room.
Shortly afterward, another Philadelphia
delegation, with ex-Governor Pattison's
name emblazoned on the banner, arrived.
This proceeded to the Westminster and
gave an ovation to Mr. Pattison, who
acknowledged it in company with ex-Postmaster
Harrity, from the balcony of the
hotel.
There was a lull in the proceedings during
the hours preceding and following supper
time, and the delegates and boom
ers took a breathing spell. The period
of inactivity was of short duration, how
ever, and by 730 fully a half score bands
of music were parading the streets. The
State Capital Band, of Harrisburg, headed
a mammoth Wallace parade, which termi
nated belore his rooms at the Wyoming.
The Wallace people seemed to enjoy the
benefit of the noisy demonstrations.
The Noise Wns for Wallace.
Three-fourths of the shouting and a like
proportion of music and pyrotechnics clam
ored and sputtered for the Clearfield leader.
The Wallace demonstration, which brought
up in front of the Wyoming House, was ad
dressed by Maxwelf Stevenson, of Phila
dslphia. Mr. Stevenson said that the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania, in success and in
defeat, had always been a rock-bound De
mocracy. He characterized Wallace as the
only safe leader at the present crisis. He is
the only man, he said, who can organize the
party vote and quell existing discords in
Democratic ranks. Before the speaker had
ceased the Iroquois Democratio Club, a
Philadelphia Wallace organization, ar
rived with another band of music. Renewed
cheering and the bursting of rockets
drowned the voice of the speaker, who con
tinued to speak for an half hour.
Closely following the Wallace demon
stration the Pattison clans turned out and
serenaded the ex-Govemer at his quarters at
the Westminster. The parade was not so
large in numbers, but had noticeably more
delegates in it
How the Thing Is Divided.
The general impression in the city is that
Wallace has the street enthusiasm and Pat
tison the votes. This sentiment was voiced
by Deputy County Treasurer Heal McTague,
one of the most enthusiastic supporters of
Pattison among the ranks of the local Demo
cratic leaders. Governor Pattison and Post
master Harrity greeted tbe paraders from
tbe balcony of the hotel, but indulged in no
speech-making. The different lines of parade
marched and cuunter-marched till nearly 11
o'clock before they broke up.
At the headquarters of the Scranton Cen
tral Democratic Club, Secretary Sando said
Qtntinued on Sixth JPage,

Another Beport as to tbe Best llethod of Treating

Everything indicates that the Federal
election bill will pass the House of Repre
sentatives to-day. It will probably have
not less than eight majority. Two amend
ments were adopted yesterday. One strikes
out the provision which the Democrats
alleged was intended to secure Republican
juries.
BFECIAI. TSLEOBAM TO TUB DIRPATCH.1
Washington, July 1. Never was con
clusion more certainly foregone thau the
passage to-morrow of the election bill in the
House. The majority is present with all
necessary force to vote right up to the mark,
and nothing short of the complete paralysis
of seven or eight Republican members can
turn the apparent victory into defeat
Three Republicans will not vote for the bill
Lehlbach, Ewart and Coleman. Nathan
Frank, 'of St Louis, and Cheadle, of Indi
ana, who were supposed to be growing faint
hearted, are now classified with the major
ity. Wisconsin's jolly man. Van Schaick,
was much taken with Ewart's speech, and
has been an object of suspicion for several
days, but to-day he declared unequivocally
that he should vote for the bill. Waddell,
or Virginia, and Brower and Cheatham, of
North Carolina, were suddenly classed tm
doubtful to-day by over-anxious leaders, but
all three soon put the doubts to rest by say
ing they were lor the bill. The Republican
majority will be 8 at the lowest.
CHANCES IN TnE SENATE.
Iu the Senate there is nothing more in
sight than a resolution proposed by Senator
Chandler cutting off extended debate. This
resolution is in the hands of the Committee
on Rules, and will not be whipped out until
it is learned who wants to speak and the de
bate can be shaped up.
The amendment secured to-day does not
strengthen or weaken the bill so far as votes
are concerned. It simply provides that
the certificates of the supervisors of elec
tions shall not he proof final and positive to
decide tbe election of a member of Congress,
and that the supervisors shall report to the
judges. The Lehlbach amendment went
under by indifference on the Democratio
side. Apparently to them it was of little ac
count whether tbe law should be plainly
labeled as general or not
Mr. Hemphill, of South Carolina, offered
an amendment eliminating irom the bill the
provisions for the United States Boards of
Convassers, and providing that from the re
turns of the Supervisors the Chief Super
visors shall tabulate and forward to the
Speaker of the House to be submitted by
him to the House, the results as they appear
therefrom iu each Congressional' district
under his jurisdiction in which this act has
been in force.
A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Mr. Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, favored
the amendment Mr. Rowell, of Illinois,
opposed the amendment and advocated the
bill Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, said
that the bill put it into the power of the
United States courts to substantially con
trol the House of Representatives.
Mr. Mills, of Texas, pointed out the
dangers which might arise from the appli
cation of the law. Suppose the House was
Democratic by 25 majority and was so
shown by the certificates of the various
Governors. Suppose the supervisors certi
fied 25 majority the other way and the
Clerk of the House acted upon this certifi
cate, what would be the result? Gentle
men ought not to forget that this was tbe
Anglo-Saxon race. That race had always
been jealous of their rights and bold to assert
them, and they never counted the cost of
doing so.
Mr. Caruth,of Kentucky, asked what had
the Republican party done for the negroes?
At the close of the war they were shelter
less, and it gave them no shelter; they were
hungry, and it fed the'm not; they were
naked, and it clothed them not. When they
attempted to save money for a rainy day the
Republican party, with an organized treed
men's bank, stole the first fruits of their
labor.
COMMENDING THE DESEETEB.
It is no wonder that iu the language of
the bold, independent, patriotic Ewart,
they had deserted tbe Republican ranks.
The Republicans were their lriends when it
served the party to be their friends, and no
longer. Give the negro something practical
and not this theory.
Mr. Dolliver, of Iowa, rejoiced that be
hind the Speaker of the House was the Re
publican party of the House and that be
hind the Republican party of the House
were the millions of American people that
believed in the Government. He believed
that the time had come when the Republi
can party must discharge not only its
promise., but its duty to the American peo
ple; and he trusted that the Republican
party would stand as one man for the sanc
tity bf American citizenship.
Mr. Mason, of Illinois, said that the Re
publican party had been charsed with neg
lecting the negro. It was gnilty a thou
sand times guilty. It had given them feet
to walk with, and no board or plank on
which to walk.
A DANGEROUS BLOW.
Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, said there
never had and never could be any bill
which would strike a more dangerous blow
at the very elements and foundations of lree
government As had been well said, since
the alien and sedition laws, there had never
been a worse measure. The gentlemen
dared not strike at the freedom of the press,
but they did attempt to strike down the
freedom of representation iu the House.
Mr. Adams, of Illinois, opposed Birr
Hemphill's motion. Mr. Lodge offered an
amendment providing that as soon as the
certificate of the board has been made pub
lic any person who was a candidate for
election may, by motion, therefor, before
the United States Circuit Court, having
jurisdiction in the district contest the cor
rectness of the certificate made by the board
and demand an examination and compila
tion of the returns. The returning officers
shall produce before the Circuit Court all
returns, reports, tickets and all evidence
on which it acted in advance in awarding
the certificates. The Circuit Court shall
therenpon determine and certify the person
shown entitled to the certificate.
IMPOETANT AMENDMENTS.
Also an amendment providing that if
there shall be an appeal from the decision
of the United States Board of Canvassers to
the Circuit Court, the Clerk of the House of
Representatives shall place on the rolls as
the Representatives-elect the name of the
person certified by said court as entitled to
the seat The amendments were agreed to.
Mr. Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, then
moved to strike out section 38, which
changes the law so as to place the selection
of jurors iu the hands -of tbe clerks of
courts. After debate Mr. Buckalew's
OTTlOrilmssnf nral dAnrail Ttaa 1slA nflva
1S4. Messrs, Frank, Humeri" Lehlbach ana
Lind voted with the Democrats in the,
affirmative.
Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, offered an amend
ment that when application for supervision
is made, the chief supervisor shall lay the
application belore the Circuit Court The
Court shall fix the day for the consideration
of the matters set forth in the application,
giving at least ten days' notice. If, on the
bearing, the Court shall bes of the opinion
that a fair and free registration will not be
held, and that there is a necessity for Fed
eral supervision, the Court shall grant the
application. Jin passing upon the applica
tion, the Judge of the Circuit Conrt shall
associate with him the Judge of the Dis
trict Court, and unless both judges concur
in granting the application, it shall be dis
missed and no further proceedings shall be
taken.
HAS ANOTHER REMEDY.
MINORITY REPORT ON THE ORIGINAL
PACKAGE BILL.
One Bepresentatlve Who Is Opposed to
Surrendering the Power to Regulate
Inter-State Commerce He TblnkaCon
gress Could Settle tbo Trouble. ''
Washington, July 1. Representative
Adams, of Illinois, to-day submitted to the
House a minority report, dissenting from
the views of the majority of the Committee
on Judiciary upon the bill intended as a
substitute for the Senate "Original Package
bill." Mr. Adams believes that the substi
tute would, if enacted, reverse a wise na
tional palioy of uniform regulation of for
eign and interstate commerce.
To surrender the exercise of the power of
Congress to regulate commerce to the Legis
latures of the several States, the report
argues, is to defeat the main purpose ot its
creation. This is the vice of the Senate bill.
It is the tenfold vice of the substitnte. It
tends to undo the most important work that
was done when the Union was formed.
Congress ought not to delegate the discharge
of this duty' to any State Legislature what
ever. Mr. Adams says that few outside of the
Prohibition party deny that the sale of in
toxicating liquors at retail ought to be reg
ulated by State laws or municipal ordi
nances. If this evil has arisen the remedy
is simple and easy of application. Congress
can define the original package in which
intoxicating liquors can be imported into a
State. Such legislative definition would at
once render impossible the establishment of
a so-called original package saloon, the only
serious evil which can possibly arise out of
the recent decision of the Supreme Court.
UTTPm EEMAnrs FIRM.
The Tnrlons Stands Kemoved From tbo
Corridor of the Capitol.
rSFXCIAI. TZXEOBAX TO TUB DISPATCH.!
Washington, July 1. Tom Reed's
famous backbone seems to be holding out
A month ago Mr. Reed ordered all tbo pie
women and other hucksters to vacate the
House wing of the Capitol building. July
1 was the day set for the emigration
and despite the awful pressure to which he
was subjected the Speaker stood firm, and
to-day the procession moved on. Two
women only refused to go, one of them being
the aged and historic Clara Morris, who
sells relics in the main corridor. Tbe
Speaker gave the rebels till to-morrow
to consider, and he will then force
them to face the music. There was weeping
and wailing among the owners of the eight
stands, which for so many years have oc
cupied the different handy little corners iu
the House wing and dispensed pie and cake,
clears, bric-a-brac and engraved cards for
statesmen and visitors.
When Mr. Reed's orders were issued to
day many )f the qwners hid hoped up to
the last moment that the Speaker would re
lent and at least allow the stands to remain
until the end of the session. Speaker Reed
is not the first wielder of the gavel who has
started a crusade against the constantly
increasing stands. Mr. Blaine, when
Speaker, went to the extent of issuing a
similar order for the removal of the obstruc
tions. Mr. Blaine, however, relented before
the time came for carrying out the order,

cede Walfich Bay to Germany. Prof. Fabi

rrB,OM A STAFF COEBSSPOirDIST.J
After 15f days had elapsed the work of
rescue at Dunbar has been abandoned. The
rescuing party entered the mine and found
it impossible to reach the men, who un
doubtedly perished the firstday of tbe fire.
Sue mine will be plugged and efforts made
to save it The Coroner's inquest is called
for Monday. Relief for the widows and
orphans is coming in slowly.
Dunbak, July 1. If was a heroic ex
ploration which was made this afternoon by
three brave men. It was the first and prob
ably the last search for the missing miners.
The party of rescuers descended into the
Mahoning mine at about 3 o'clock. About
half an hour belore going the Inspectors
held a meeting and discussed the wisdom ot
going into the mine at all. There were some
who thought the task not only a vain one. but
dangerous to the explorers. It was decided,
however, to make one more effort to discover
the uystery of those under gound chambers.
THE ITNAIj EFFOET.
There were 16 men in the party which
went down. Inspector Keighley led the
way, and six of the men crawled through the
long and cramped hole leading from one
mine to another. This cut is 615 feet long
and is itself a place of great danger. It is,
for a large part of the way, cut through
loose earth and is caving in slowly, although
timbered up. Three of the party
went only a few yards into the Hill
Farm mine. The other three men then
left them and pierced 100 feet further into
the darkness. These three men were In
spector Keighley, Secretary Watchorn and
Inspector Doran. They carried with them
three clothes, lines, which they tied one to
the other, making a length of 180 feet They
had also a bottle of camphor and cloths
which they saturated and placed over their
nostrils.
A TEEEIBI.E JOT7ENET.
The chamber into which they entered is
an old one. It has not been used for three
years. Iu many places the roof had fallen
In, and over these piles of slate and coal the
men had to crawl. In one place the
fall had extended 20 feet into the roof and
the climb up one side and down the other
was at an angle ot about 40. The opening
in some places was only 2 ,feet high.
Through such places they worked their way
crawling one behind the other. The smoke
had all been driven out to the south and the
air was pure. Each man carried a safety
lamp. Iu some places the rooms were
found to be flooded to a depth of three
feet Through this the brave fellows
waded nnmindful of the possibility of
holes through the floor. At last the rope
came to an end. They had gone 180 feet,
and had found nothing. "What shall we
do now" Inspector Doran asked. 'Let us
go ahead" responded Mr. Eeighley and
ahead they went, the clothesline was tied to
a pdst and the explorers plunged into hidden
places from out which they had no idea
whether or not they would ever come. They
cut) in through across to the heading
furthest to the right and there in a tew
minutes they came to tbe short side room
where some of the men had been working
when the fire occurred two weeks before.
FINDING EVIDENCES OF THE MEN.
The inspectors cannot themselves de
scribe their feelings as they came upon two
dinner pails. One tin bucket was closed.
When the lid was lifted the food was found
inside undisturbed. Beside the bucket was
a blue jean blouse. The other bucket was
about three feet away, sitting right on the
floor of the mine. The lid was off and laid
at one side. The coffee cup had
been lifted out and sat beside the
bucket The napkin had been removed.
Just about two feet from the bucket, and be
tween it and a blouse, was a piece of bread
with one bite taken out of it At tbe time
of the discovery the searchers did not know
who were the owners of these two buckets.
When they came ont the pails were recog
nized as belonging to John Mitchell and
Patrick Devlin. There had been other men
working wtth them. Half a dozen picks
lay in the room, but no more buckets were
found.
ATTEMPTING TO ESCAPE.
Mr. Watchorn says that Devlin and
Mitchell were evidently just beginning to
eat dinner when some other miner ran into
the room and told them the mine was on fire.
They dropped everything and ran toward
the main slope. Some of the men evidently
seized their dinner buckets and carried them
with them. The lood found in these buckets
was in good condition.
The searchers entered nine chambers be
fore they were compelled to yield. About 300
feet beyond the place where they found the
buckets they came upon a dead mule hitched
to a coal cart As the three men approached
the mule they smelled nothing offensive.
The air was drawing away from them. They
stopped and looked a mpment at tbe animal.
It had been suffocated. It was swollen and
bursted. Then they passed it, and as they
did so they started to run. The smell was
horrible. They clapped their camphor
cloths over their noses and hurried on. This
smell wan almost the death of them. They
were so anxious to escape from it that they
rushed into danger.
A JOTJENET OF DANGER.
It was not until their lamps grew so faint
that they gave no light that one of the party,
Mr. Watchorn, awoke to the fact that he
was in danger. He stopped and called out,
"Boys, we have gone too far." Then all
stopped. The lamps were almost out
There was not enough oxygen in the atmos

phere to make a healthy blaze. The mo
ment they discovered tbey were in bad air
they began to feel it physically. Keighley
jerked a piece of chalk from his pocket and
marked on the timber wall. Then all
turned and hurried back. The heat at this
point was intense, although no fire could bo
seen. It was a difficult journey back.
Half an hour was lost by Mr. Watchorn
going astray. Finally at 5.30 the threa
tired men crawled into the Mahoning mino
and made their report
A FINAL CONSULTATION.
Then a meeting was held in the manway,
which must have been a solemn affair. Five
men who were above were telephoned for
and went down. There were 21 men in the
party. They were Superintendent Frank
Hill, Engineers Charlie and Harry Coll,
Father Malady, Dr. J. Mullen, W. T.
Smith, Master Workman William Patter
son, John Dilworth, Isaac G. Rubey, Ber
nard Callen, Robert Gray, Inspectors Hush
Doran, Thomas Evans, Peter Wise, Will
iam Jenkins, Henry Loutitt. A. King and
F. C. Keighley, Secretary Robert
Watchorn, James Blick and J. J.
Davis. Robert Watchorn was elected
Chairman of the meeting and Henry Loutitt,
Secretary. Inspector Keighley reported
whatithey had dene. They had gone, he
said, about 1,800 feet into the Hill Farm
mine and had made their way within about
300 feet of the main slope. Further than
this they could not go.
Mr. Keighley gave it as his opinion that
nobody could go any further until the fire
was out
NO HOPE FOE THE IMPRISONED MEN.
The men, he believed, were in the fire and
probably burned. He sadly gave his opinion
that it was useless to try any more to reach
the bodies. He was supported by Inspector
Doran and Mr. Watchorn. Mr. Jenkins
made a motion that the search be suspended
while the mine was afire. This was adopted
with but one dissenting vote. Peter Wise
was the only man in the party who argued
against the motion.
Thus the thing is ended. How long will
themine burn ? There is one in Wales
which has beea afire 40 years. The Beeson
Mine, near Uniontown, has been burning
about 35 years. All the entrances to the
Hill Farm Mine will now be bricked up,
the inspectors thinking that the fire may be
destroyed by lack of air. There is great
sadness here over the decision. The citi
zens believe, however, that the inspectors
haye done the right thing. Hassles.

rSrZCTAI. TBX.XG&AM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Dtjnbab, July 1. Hugh Doran, the
mine boss in the Hill Farm mine, who was
one of the party who made the search for
the miners, tells the story of their efforts in
tbe following language:
We set out and I think we went nearly two
miles In all our wanderings. We managed to
get to tbe drain room, and it was at the head
of this that tbe remainder of tbe exploring
party was left. Tho rlrst room that we entered,
was that in which Dan Smith and Jack Mitchell
worked. We could not find them, and then
went up to tbe head of the drain room
and came back. In the first room
we found Mitchell's bncket and his blouse.
We laid their tools to one side and placed our
chalk: mark on tbe wall to show that we bad
been there. Tbe bucket and coat we brought
out with us. Then we crawled our way to tbe
room occupied by James and Thomas Mc
Cleary. We f ound nothing there and went to
the hulk heading and searched the two rooms
there. It was at the top of this that
John Coke worked, bnt no signs could
be found of him. Then we worked
about and found a room where John
Devlin worked. Here were nia bucket and
blouse. Then we found the mule dead and a
loaded and four empty coal cars. Wa had six
inches in wbfeb to squeeze onrselves past theso
cars and the mnle.and 1 don't know howl lived
dnrlng it all. We then worked our way as far
as the brattice which separates this fiat from
the ones above. Behind it we could bear
a raging volcano of fire and we knew
it was only a question of time till it
would break through and consume everything:
in front of it. We worked along this brattice
for nearly 200 feet and then were forced to
turn. We bad rnn into a dense cloud of black
damp. Our lamps went ont and there we were.
We strmrcled back as best we could and
Watchorn came very near taking the wrong
heading. I caught bim and pushed him up
to the drain room. Keighley was behind hold
ing on to me, and one of tbe happiest minutes
of my life was when we reached the clothes
line and began to pull onrselves up to find fresh
air. In that drain bole where we thought the
men might have taken refuge the water was
knee-deep.
As tbe three hardy explorers stepped into
the light of the lamps of the other members
of tbe exploring party, Superintendent Hill
greeted them with: "I am surprised that
you men, holding the positions you do,
shonld risk so much and give us such a
fright;" and with that the brave-hearted
Superintendent who has borne up under a
most wonderful weight, broke completely
down. For a fact the suspense had been
terrible, and the people lelt behind did not
know what to do.

Dttnbab, July 1. To-day has been at
time of great anxiety here. The news rap
idly spread this morning that a break had
been made. How tbe word got out nobody
knows. The inspectors did not tell it until
three hours after the thing occurred, and
they told nobody but the correspondents.
The miners themselves could not keep the
matter quiet The miners resumed their
task of digging away the coaL There wasa
strong draft through the drill hole, and it
was therefore inferred that the chamber
into which an entrance had been
pierced was nn open way con

slope. It was 350 o'clock this morninjr
when the coal was cut away. Immediately
after that the miners were all told to come
out The party at once came out, and from
