TELSGRAM TO THE DIEPATCff.l Citx of Mexico, July 21, Official ad vices from San Salvador announce that war has at last broken out between the Central American Republics, Guatemala and San Salvador. Strained relations have existed between the two countries for some time, and effort have been made by the Govern ments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica to in duce the conflicting powers to settle their differences by arbitration without recource to war. General Barrillos, President of Guatemala, recently received Senores Castro and Larios, Ministers from neighbor ing Republics on their mission of peace. .The latest advices state that the Guate "malan forces, 9,000 strong, under General Yillaviceucio, invaded the territory of San i ' Salvador, and were repulsed with the loss F of many pieces of artillery, stands of arms, t and quantities of ammunition. Dispatcher from President Ezeta. The Salvadoran army Is commanded by General Ezeta, President of Sau Salvador, in person. General Ezeta has cabled to Eenor Pou, as follows: In the Field, July 17. The Guatemalan forces, under command of General Villavicen cio, invaded Salvadoran territory near Elcoro to-day, and were repulsed by us. July 18. Tne enemy. 9,000 strong, yesterday invaded San Salvador. Our forces bravely re pulsed them, eausing their complete rout. Many pieces of artillery, large quantities ot ammunition, and hundreds of stacks of arms were captured by us. I have given orders to advance into Guatemala. The men are armed with Remington rifles, machine guns and mountain batteries. The forces of Guatemala are said to be nearly double those of San Salvador, but the latter allege that disaffection exists in the ranks of their opponents, and two batallions have re fused to go to the front. Complication Are Numerous. It is also asserted that President Barrillos talks of resigning aud that General Bar rerdia, the Guatemalan refugee, has re turned to his country to raise an insurrec tion. It is reported, too, that Honduras has joined forces with Guatemala in the fight against San Salvador. Costa Bica and Nicaragua are friendly to the latter, and Senor Geronimo Pou has ar rived in this city as the confidential agent of San Salvador. Senor Pou says: "War was threatened before I left, and that it has come as soon as it has should not be a sur prise to any one who understands the polit ical situation of the two republics. San Salvador has stood upon the defensive; Guatemala has chosen to interfere in our domestic politics by trying to put into i power a President not our own free choice. dte "We sent forces to the frontier to repel any IS, --attempted invasion of San Salvador, and it J" npDears by my telegrams that they were - needed there. On the Cth inst, we had 9,000 well-equipped men on the Bio Paz, but I believe there are now fully 16,000 along the frontier. I understand the Guate mala forces number 20,000." Posslbilty of Mexican Intervention. If Seuot Pou succeeds in inducing Presi ' dent Diaz to warn Guatemala to desist from c her hostile intentions regarding San Sal vador the war may end as suddenly as it begun. Mexico has from 6,000 to 7,000 men distributed along the Guatemalan frontier, ' and her intervention would be respected. San Salvador is the smallest of tbe Central American republics, and its people claim that Guatemala has constantly interfered in r . their political affairs, and the present trouble is an effort to unseat General Ezeta, who is only Provisional President, and place Julie Interiano, a man of their choice, in his place. The Guatemalans argue, on the other hand, that Ezeta has no right to his position and has taken advan tage of it to refuse to ratify the agreement ,for the Federal union or the five Central American States. They claim that Ezeta took possession of the Government bv force 'and that President Menendez, the last in Scumbent, did not die of apoplexy as was reportea at me ume, but was assssinated. The Central American States. 5 The following description ot the Central American countries will be of interest in "" connection with the present difficulty: .Of the fire Central American republics in- vblved in tbe pending issue tbe most norther!) u Guatemala, which is Mexico's immediate 1 neighbor.

Tbe total exports for 18S6, consisting chiefly ot coffee and indigo, were valued at 58,738,482. and tbe imports at $3,235,803. Hondnras has an area of 46.000 square miles, with a population (1SSJ) of 45S.000. The bulk of tbe Inhabitants consists of Aborigines. The "fraction or tbe people tracing descent from Europeans, mainly of Spanish origin, is in the small ports on tbe Pacific Coast and in the town ot Santa Rosas. Not a Large Standing Array. The active army consists of SSO men, with 31,500 militia. Tbe exports of Honduras con sists chiefly of cattle, mahogany, blues and India rubber, aggregating about S1,GOO,000 annually, while the imports of cotton goods, silks and hardware reach nearly tbe same figure. The foreign debt exceeds 127,000,000, most of which was raised professedly to build il!' -honour as sX The Seat of War in Central America. an interoceanlc railroad from Pnerto Cortez on Atlantic to the Bay of Fonseca on the Pacific coast. San Salvador is a small State in area, em bracing only 7,223 square miles, bnt it had a population of 651,130 in 1SS6, including whites, mixed and aboriginal. Its silver and iron mines are profitably operated. Its principal agricultural products are indigo, coffee, sugar and balsam. Its imports for tbe year 1SS6 were worth 2.427,613, its exports $4,751,643. The army numbers 2.000 men, with 12,000 militia. Despite Dronunciamentos and disturbances it is a thriv ing commonwealth, keeping its expenditures generally within its revenues. It has two lines of railu ayod 1,259 miles of telegraph. Nicaragua covers 49,500 square miles, but its population in 1SS3 was only 275,817, among whom tbe percentage of Europeans or their descendants was very small. Tbere are few towns and the principal occupation of the people is tbe raising of cattle. Industries and Commerce. I Commerce is naturally restricted, tbe imports in 1SS6 aggregating only $1,863,000, and the ex ports $2,557,000. The leading exports are coffee and India rnbber. Nicaragua has 99 miles of railway in operation and 1,300 miles of tele graph. The army consists nf 703 men (397 of whom serve as police), with 9,600 militia. The annual revenue is about $2,000,000. and tbe debt is a moderate one. Costa Rica boasts an ctive army of 500 men and on a war footing can command 40,000 militia, as every able bodied male over the age of 18 is bonud to serve. The area of the republic is 23,000 square miles, tbe population (in 1SS3) 182,073. Coffee is tbe principal product, tbs cron being about 20.000,000 pounds annually. Bananas also are largely exported.

Senor Baiz 13ns No News of tbe Reported Fisfatlna nnd Says Senor Pou Is the Anther of the Stories of Battle Peace Earnestly Drnired. rsraciAi. telkqbax to tbe dispatch.i New York, July 21. Mr. Baiz is Con sul General for both Guatemala and Hon duras in this city. He was seen by a Dis patch reporter to-day. He said that he had received no news of a battle between the forces of Guatemala aud San Salvador. He was inclined to doubt tbe correctness of the dispatches which have reached here. He says that they all emanated from Senor Pou, who has just arrived in Mexico. It was necessary for him to make a flourish o' trumpets to announce his arrival, and he had given an exaggerated account of the engagemeet, if any engagement has taken place. Baiz said that his last dis patches were about four days old, and thev said nothing of a battle being imminent. They stated that the Guatemalan Govern ment had sent a number of their troops to the frontier as an army of reservation. General Ezeta wis said to be carrying things with a high hand in San Salvador, and the Guatemalan forces were sent forward to protect their own territory and in, the inter est of the establishment of peace in the ad joining republic. jur. xan saiu mai it is nonsense to talc of San Salvador having 9,000 men in the field. He declared they could not bavehad more than 2,000 or 3,000 in the battle if one actually occurred, aud that they couldn't muster 4,000 men in tbe field in six weeks. On the other hand, he said, Guatemala can muster a force of 40,000 in a few davs. He said that a large quantity of modern arms and ammunition were imported from Europe last year, and the army is wejl equipped. Mr. Baiz said that the only telegraphic communication between Guatamala and this country is by way of the cable from San Salvador to Mexico, and that all of his dispatches run the risk of being tampered with. He said that San Salvador is under martial law with a censorship of press and telegraphic communication that enabled the people in power to send out anv infor mation they pleased. He added that the country is in a state of anarchy, and that tbe party in power has not been recog nized bv Guatamala, Honduras or the United States. The country has no Minister represcniing.it at "Washington and no Cons'ut General in this city. Mr. Baiz added that the action of Guatemala is in the interest of permanent peace on the isthmus and that it is very probable that Honduras has joined hands with Guatemala in the matter. As San -Salvador lies oartlv be tween these two countries, its present con dition makes it a very undesirable neigh bor. Mr. Baiz declared that there is no ti-uth in the rumor that either of the coun tries which he represents has any designs upon San Salvador other than the establish ment of peace. BARRILLOBELIEF. THE REPORT OF A BATTLE AN ABSO LUTE ABSURDITY. Dispatches Are Wronu In Nearly Every Stntement Gnatemala Has But 3,000 Aimed Men San Salvador tn No Condi tion to Force a Fight. -srlCIAt. TXLKOBAM TO THE DISF ATCH.J Sait FBA2TCISCO, July 21. General Barrillos, commander in chief of the Guate malan army, who is in this city on leave of absence, discredited the reports of a battle between the troops of San Salvador and Gnatemala and in an interview made the following reply: I have read the dispatches, and place no belief in them at all. They say that General Villavitenico -is leader of the Guatemalan army, when the fact is that he is not from Gnatemala bnt Is chief of the regular police in Salvador. As to there being 9,000 Guate malan troops on the frontier, tbe last letters I re ceived from there said that there werent 2,000 men on the frontier to protect Guatemala from invasion by the revolutionary party in San Sal vador. The report that President D'Arlllos thinks of resigning is absurd. He is well con tented with his position, and would not resign for anything in the world. General Ezeta is in command of the San Salvadorlan forces. But even If they win a battle over the Guatemalans they would never be able to invade Gnatemala because they have not sufficient means to do it. San Salvador czn raise about 16,000 men, while Guatemala can raise 70.000 well armed with Remington and Winchester guns. If there is any trouble in Guatemala her finances are not in good shape to carry on a war. Forced loans would have to be made on tbe natives, but not on the foreigners, who are exempted from these loans, which would eventually he paid back witb interest at tbe rate of 5 and 6 per cent. The Salva dorUns are against thn union be cause Guatemala was first to pro pose union. 1 believe that Guatemala cannot force San Salvador into tbe union, be cause the natives of that country have no faith In tbe present political purpose of the Guate malan Government. No matter what tbe lat ter government would propose, the San Salva dorans would not accept it. Neither Nicaragua, Costa Rica or Honduras are in favor of tbe union. If Nicaragua, San Salvador and Honduras would combine forces, they could obline Barrillos to leave tbe Presidency of Guatemala. But this is not likely, on account of internecine difficulties, and because Guatemala alone has more means tban all of tbem put together. I have no fear that Guatemala is In danger. If there is to be war it will be in two or three months, but not at present. There are many very able soldiers in Gnatemala at present who conld form the army, but they are not in favor with President Barrillos. As to the future, it is too early to mate predictions with any decree of certainty. It depends upon what happens tbere shortly whether I shall go to mv country. If Guatemala conquered San Salvador it would not settle the question of union. Tbe states nf Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica wonld also have to be subdued. In that event tbe union would take place and constitutional government be guaranteed on the same lines as in the United States. THE KEYSTONE CAMPAIGN. ITS ISSUES DISCUSSED BY PENNSYL VANIANS AT WASHINGTON. General Osborne Itlnkes Support of the State Ticket a Bread and Bntter Ques tion for Government Emplovcs Enthu siasm for Reed nnd the Tariff Bill. IFUOM A STAFF COBRESFOKDEXT. J WASHINGTON, July 2L The new Penn sylvania Club, just organized, of which Mr. J. K. Rankin, of Bellefonte, a brother-in-law of Adjutant 'General Hastings, and one of tbe most prominent Division Chiefs of the department, is President, held a rat ification meeting at' Grand Army Hall, which was certainly the most im portant and interesting that has taken place in connection with the Pennsylvania nominations. The large room was well filled aud enthusiasm was boundless. The speakers were three of the leading Penn sylvania Congressmen, one a late candidate for Governor General Osborne. The others were Representatives McCormick, of Williamsport, aud Marriott Broslus, of Lincaster. Mr McCormick dwelt particu larly on tbe subject of the reported dis affection. He said he bad recently vjsited various parts of the State and had taken pains to inquire into tle mutter, and he was satisfied there was no other than the usual opposition. Mr. Brosius made one of his most elo- 3uent efforts and his speech called out than-" ers of applause. lie can't help being elo quent In his speech on the Federal elec tion bill be won a reputation in the House as tbe most finished, scholarly and eloquent orator who bad ever had a place in that body. The speech of General Osborne was witty and practical. He told the au dience, which was mostly composed of officials in the departments, how important it was to them to -work for the ticket. If it had not been for the success of tbe Republican party they would not be tbere. If it had not been for the success of their members of Congress they would not be there. .Upon Republican success this year in Pennsylvania depended the return of himself and other members of Congress. Upon a Republican Leg islature depended tbe election of a successor to Senator Cameron, and upou the. general result in the State largely de pended success in the Presidental contest in 1892. It was to the individual interest of each to work to the best of his abilities, as it was a question of ambition and bread and butter as well as patriotism. A reference to big Tom Reed was received with tre mendous applause, the audience rising to their feet and cheering for several minutes. Tbe prediction of each of the Congress men that not only a tariff bill but the fed eral elections bill would be passed at this session, also called out great apt piause. txenerai usDorne declared that the Senate now understood so well the temper of the people on this question that they would not dare to adjourn without enacting the law. The club adopted resolutions strongly indorsing the State ticket and pledging the members to do their utmost for its snecess. This club will be recognized by the Pennsylvania State Committee as tbe organization having charge of the Wash ington end of the campaign. COKTEMPIATIH-G WITHDRAWAL. New Zealand Is Becoming Weary of Sub sidizing Steamship Companies. San Peanoisco, July 21. R. I. Creigh ton, agent of the New Zealand Government, to-day received a cable dispatch from the Postrndster General of New Zealand, asking if the United States Congress had passed the shipping bills. Parliament will be pro rogued this month, and tbe Postmaster General has annonnced that New Zealand will follow the action of New South Wales and withdraw from ocean mail service be tween Australia and the United States un less Congress take action at once toward contributing a substantial amount of the steamship subsidy. The New Zealand gov ernment is at present the only Australian government assisting to maintain the ser vice. Mr. Creigbton has also received a reply to hisletter recommending that New Zea land be fully represented at the "World's Fair at Chicago. The subject will be brought before the New Zealand Cabinet, iieading newspapers recommend an appro priation for the pnrpose of not less than 23,000. A MTSTIC SHRIKE PHGRDIAGE.

Senator Voorhees, tho Venerable Vet eran From the Hoosier State, OPENS THE DEBATE ON THE, BILL, In a Speech. Full of Glittering Generali ties and Some Fairly Good Hits. HE TAKES CABNEGIE FOE HIS TEXT, And Attempts to Show the Discrepancies In Protectee- Policy. the The ball was started in the Senate yesterday in the great debate on the tariff bill, which is expected to last for weeks. Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, was the first speaker. His remarks were listened to with interest, and were principally on the tin plate and sugar items of the bill. ITB05I X 8TAZT COKBESFONDEJTT. 1 Washington, July 21. There was "a good attendance of Senators and a fair audience in the galleries to hear Voorhees, the battered and peeled, but still quite tall Sycamore of the Wabash, fire the opening gun of what promises to be a long and tire some fight over the tariff bill. Ot course it is not expected that every or all of the speeches will change a single vote or prevent the passage of a bill. AH this time and oratory is to be wasted, primarily that the Senators may send their speeches broadcast over their States to enhance their chances for a re-election, anil, secondarily, for the good of their respective parties. The speeches are printed at cost for them at the Government Printing Office, or they may get them for almost nothing as fragments of the Congres sional Record. PECULIAR TO THE MAN. The speech of Voorhees was cbaracter-i istic of tbe man and his style. It was not analytical or comparative, nor the opinions of an observer from a business standpoint. His exaggerated estimates of the wonderful diamond presented by Mr. Andrew Car negie, is a good illustration of the character of his SDeech. His picture of an uncut diamond worth more than the Kohinoor, then moonstone, or any other of the 'great dia mouds of the world, while everyone who listened to him knew, that an uncut diamond's value could hardly bo estimated at all, caused a lively smile to'ripple over the faces of his audience. Voorhees, who is so poor himself that be can scarcely pay his cabman or his grocer's bill, is very fond of getting a whack at the millionaires and he made the most of his opportunity to-day. It is said that Ingalls will make a speech on the bill, and that he will take occasion to- analyze this speech ot Voorhees as a sample of tbe logic used against the tariff bill. , AS VIEWED BY VOOEHEES. But little business other than the routine was transacted in tbe Senate this morning. At 2 o'clock the tariff,bill was taken up, and Mr. Voorhees addressed the Senate in oppo sition to the bill, which he characterized as. a financial monster every claw and tooth of. which bad been.carefalfw fnspextad in the luuuicKuuu iouuu to ue souna ana rename. It was only in an impure political and moral atmosphere.generated by a corrupt monopoly ot wealth that a financial measure like the one now pending dare to show the hard outlines of its sruilty face; much less would it expect to be treated with respect,spoken well of, and pressed as a law. Passing to a criticism of the details of the bill, Mr. Voorhees spoke of it as an aston ishing fact that in tbe 14 schednles of dutia ble articles the ouly reduction made is in tbe schedule relating to sugar and molasses, which, in the light of the proposed bounty to sugar planters, was no reduction at all, and in the section relating to wines, spirits and other beverases, in every oue of the 12 schedules the tariff taxes had been in creased. In regard to woolen goods that in crease amounted to $15,000,000 a year. There was no pretension, Mr. Voorhees said, that increase was put on lor the sake of revenue. It was simply an instance of pro tection run mad and developed intoa Chi nese wall of prohibition. ' WHO PAID FOB THE DIAMOND. Mr.Voorbee referred to the recent Stanley wedding in London, attended by members of the royal family, and by the representa tives of the highest aristocracy of England, and to the wedding presents of fabulous price showbred upon the hero of the Dark Continent and his bride. An American protcted manufacturer, he said, wjs there, and bestowed upon the bride a gift of richer, rarer and lar more costly, vilue than any that could be afforded by the Queen of England or the King of Belgium. It was Carnegie, he said, and his gift was au uncut diamond of such size and qu.ility that neither the richest of the crown jewels of England, nor the'moonstone of India could surpass it in value. And, how, he asked, came this American king of steel and iron to have a diamond be yond the reach of the other kings of the world and to'be able to give it away? Was it an inheritance, an heirloom? Had he hunted and found it in the diamond fields of Atricd? Had he toiled Irom day to day, economized and 'saved the earnings of a life time to buy it? Nothing of all that. The farmers of the United States had paid for that diamond ten thousand times over in the last twenty years by paying an average-duty nf over 38 per cent on evorv article ot iron and steel they used, and by paying increased rates of railroad freight made necessary by the high duties on steel aud iron rails and rolling stock. For the farmer, at last, paid for all. If the pending bill became a law, they would have an in crease of duty to pav ou iron and steel from 38.24 per cent to 51.75 per cent. PUT TIN PLATE OJT THE FBEE LIST. Mr. Voorhees passed on to the discussion of the proposed increase of 120 per cent on tin plate, in order to protect an infant in dustry as yet unborn, and in order to give employment to 24,000 workingmen now idle. It wonld be far cheaper (he said), for the country to pay 24,000 idle men their average wages, to tax every square of tin roof, every dinner pail, teapot, and milk can, simply to build up half a dozen millionaires, and to enable them to give coaching parties to protection leaders, and to found libraries from the savings of 15 per cent reduction of the wages ol their workingmen. Tin plate, he said, had the first right to be on tbe free list; and be wonld, at the proper time, move to put it there. There was no manufacturer of, it in this country, and therefore nothing to protect, even it protection were right. It was a material in universal use, a common want with laboring people; and it ought to pay no tax. Might he not. with propriety, in leaving tbe tin plate schedule, call on all the men and women who use tin pans, pails, cups, strainers, teapots, coffeepots, wash basins, cooking pans, pie plates, cans for fruits and vegetables, and tin for roofing their houses, to join in pronouncing anathema maranatha against the bill? Doctrine of & high pro tective tariff was here, he said, carried to its full limit, and displayed without further attempt at disguise all its frightful capabil ities lor evil. It might exclaim with the false prophet of Khorassan, when he un veiled his hideous face to his ignorant wor shipers: "Here, Judge if hell, slth all its .powers .to damn, ' - " Can add one in enrse to the vile thing t am." &', As he believed in the justice pf. God, he believed in the overthrow of such a system of government. Ha helieved that the nres- l-nt wicked, criminal system of tariff pro tection in this country was racing to swift (sicsirucuon. At was destined soon to en counter the stern spirit of retributive jus tice and to feel tbe desolation which it had inflicted on others. He rejoiced that tbere Vas a spirit in the land which would not down at the bidding of speculators. A PAETY THAT WILL NOT DOWN. Whether that spirit was of his party or of the opposite party, or of an alliance em bracing honest people of both'parties, it was most welcome to him, and his prayer was that it wonld have a giant's strength in its arm so as to strike down the mail-clad rob bers who were riding, over and trampling down the laboring pool. The title of the Tilll was "An act to reduce the revenue and equalize duties on imports and for other burposes." The only truth in the title be ing "For other purposes," than those de clared. With snznr on the free list, an an nual revenue of 556,000,000 was abolished; but other schedules increased duties to the amount of $65,000,000. But if the bounty d. 2 cents a pound on the sugar produced in the United States should result (as its U ends 'urged it would) in the production of all tbe sugar consumed here, then according to the last statns the American people would find themselves paying an' annual sugar tax of $61,528,000 under the masquer ading, fraudulent process of so-called free sugar, in alliance with high protection and gross subsidy. EXORBITANT BATE OP TAXATION. He went ou to say that all the internal revenue taxes on manufacturers, brokers and dealers, bank checks and incomes had been swept away, while .duties on trace chains, tin buckets, flinnel shirts and the like had had a manifold growth. According to the present rate of taxation on farms and in workshops, the war was still raging and costing more than ever before. Who, he asked, would dare stand before the country and say that the party so long in control of the Government had dealt fairly with the people on that subject? In conclusion he declared that the battle for liberty, justice and equality would be fought out in every part of the field, but that at no point was victory more essential than where floated the banner of tariff re form. ,f At the close of the speech, Mr. Cockrell 6ffered resolutions (which were agreed to), expressing the Senate's regret at the an nouncement of the death or Representative Walker, of Missouri, and for the appoint ment of a committee of three Senators to at tend the funeral. Messrs. Vest, Plumb and Berry were ap pointed, and the Senate as a further mark of respect adjourned. WANT THE DUTIES EETAIKED. The Bottle Blowers Petition Congress to Protect Their Industry. Washington, July 21. This afternoon delegates to the annual convention of the National Glass Blowers' Association, which has been in session at Baltimore, were re ceived by Chairman Morrill in the room of the Senate Committee on Finance. They presented through Lewis Arrington, of Massill'n, O., president of the association, a request that the duties laid upon glass bottles be retained. Mr. Arrington said that within the past two years there had sprung up a compe tition with foreign importers, which the home manufacturer could not meet. Wine and beer bottles, he said, are imported into this country and used in cities where glass factories etnnd idle, while the loreicrn sroods Jgo in by loads. Small bottles, one ounce and less, be said, are being brought into this country and sold for less money than the home manufacturer pays for the labor which makes them. He referred to the fact that tne delegation contained no manufacturers, none but laborers, and they asked the change in their iutesest alone. Wnshincton Wnlfs, Secretary Noble has ordered a revision of tbe St Louis census returns. ' The Controller of the Currency has ap pointed Gilbert B. Sbaw receiver of the Park National Bank, of Chicago. The House adjourned in respect to the mem ory of the late Cor cress man Walker, of Mis souri, who died on Saturday. Mr. Solet, the new Assistant Secretary of tbeiavy. ha not yet taken the oath of office, because of tbe pressnre of private business. The Senrte bill authorizing the construction of a pontoon bridge across tbe Mississippi river at Quincy, IIL, was reported and passed. The National Silver Committee are making preparations for a vigorous campaign, and will endeavor to secure control of tbe next House. CHAIRMAN COOLET, of the Inter-State Commission, has gone to his home, at Ann Arbor, Mich., to attend the wedding of his son. In the House yesterday, by unanimous con sent,'it was ordered that the vote on the orig inal package bill should be taken to-day, and mat tne vote on tne Danxruptcy Din pe taken Thursday. Considerable speculation Is being enter tained by Congressmen concerning tbe advice nf tbe Atlanta Constitution urging a boycott on Northern industries if the Federal election bill becomes a law. The Secretary of "War has expressed the opinion that the river and harbor bill rnigbt be cut down one-half and still leave all the money that could profitably be expended dur ing the present fiscal year. Superintendent Pobter began sending ont checks in payment of the1 services of cen sus enumerators yesterday. Checks are being sent direct to the enumerators and are made payable at tbe Sub-Treasury in New YorK.

The Janior Senator, Smarting Under a Grievance, Alleged to be FATHEEIXG'A FAE-EEACHIHG SCHEME By Which He Hopes to Settle Old Scores sad Make His Son a Legislator. It is now given out that the bolt in Beaver county is part (of a plan to assure Dick Quay's election to the Legislature. The details of the scheme are outlined by a gen tleman who claims to know whereof he speaks. nVKCTXh TELEGRAM TO Till DISPATCH.! Sharon, July 21. The true animus of the bitter fight in the Twenty-fight Congressional district has been exposed. A Mercer county Republican, who was at Beaver flaturday.had a confidential talk with one of Quay's lieu tenants, in which the latter detailed a far reaching scheme by which the junior Sena tor hopes to arrange matters satisfactorily to his own interests. The Mercer county man says he is ready to back up his state ment by names and absolute proof, if nec essary. Briefly, the present bolt in Beaver is a scheme to assure young Dick Quay's elec tion to the Legislature and make John M. Buchanan, a leading Democratic lawyer and politician of Beaver, the next Congress man from thisdistnct. It is an open secret that young Quay's chances of election are at present in donbt and that the Beaver Sena tor is worried over the situation. The bitter feeling against Dick Quay arises from the fact that, pre vious to the Republican primaries, a 'deal was afpected by which Quay was to name the State dele gates and legislative ticket. The faction which was controlled by the Senator was to name tbe county ticket. Had this arrange ment been carried out all would have been lovely, but the Quay people, for some rea son, interfered in tbe county fight and nom inated a complete ticket. A deep feeling has arisen among the anti-Quay faction, in Beaver county, and a bolt is threatened on Quay, Jr., which has become serious. To insure Dick's election, Senator Quay stands ready to make a bid for Democratic assist ance, and looks to John M. Buchanan, an old-time friend, for the necessary aid. Tneir intimacy is well known, and has often beeu commented on. With Buchanan as the Democratic nom inee tor Congress it has been figured that enough voies from the Democratic party can he secured to help young Quay through. Beaver county has already repudiated Mc Dowell's nomination without a hearing or aninvestigition. Butler county is to be cajoled into a similar arrangement by a promise tbat the new conference, if held, is to make Black the nominee. McDowell will refuse to withdraw his namer and with two Republican candidates the fight would end in u Democratic victory. , the senator's attitude. It is well known that Quay does not en tertain the most kindly feeling toward Black since the defeat of the Delamater delegates in Bntler county, and the tears he wonld shed over McDowell's political grave would not he many or bitter. Senator Quay, in an interview this morn ing, is already predicting McDowell's de feat, and transferring tbe blame of a prob able Democratic victory to the Mercer conntv man's shoulders. Thns the Senator would pay off old debts and scores, land young Dick in the Legislature and the house of Quay wonld shine with greater lus ter. Tbe State ticsret, in the four heavily Republican counties, would be assisted out of the State campaign fund. TO SUCCEED GIBSON. CALL ISSUED FOR A CANDIDATE FOR THE DEAD JURIST'S POSITION. Resolutions of tbe Democratic County Com mittee at York Indorsing; the State Convention Nominee Scoring the Fed eral Election Bill Increased AInjorltes Asaared. ISFECIAX TELEOKAM TO TBI PISrATCH.l York, July 21. The Democratic County Committee met to-day and fixed Monday, Angust 11, as tbe .day for holding a county convention to nominate a candi date for Judge to fill tbe vacancy occasioned by tbe death of the Hon. John Gibson. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we, in common with the com munity in general, deplore tbe death of Jndge Gibson, eminent as a jurist, irreproachable as a citizen, and always earnest and impressive as an advocate of Democratic prieciples. Resolved, Tbat we extend to bis surviving family our roost sincere sympathies in their great bereavement. Resolved, Tbat this committee, representing the Democracv of York county, embrace tbis oiportunlty, tne Bret since tbe meeting of tbe State Convention, to register its approval and unqualified indorsement of tbe wort ot our Brethren in tbe scranton con vention both as regards tbe nomination nf Pattlsnn, Black, and Barclay, and tbe sound Democratic principles advocated in the plat form. The enthusiasm which tbe names of Pattlson. Black, and Barclay have awakened among tbe people who were present is so won derfully manliest, and the belief of the elec tion of our State ticket so deep-rooted among Democrats and liberal Republicans, Uiat York county may reasonably be relied upon to give the largest majority in her history at the No vember election. Resolved, That we denounce in unmeasured terms the "Federal election force bill," now before tbe Senate of tbe United States; tbat we look npon it as a menace to the rights and liberties of the American people, and an un warranted interference with the rights of the State. Its coercive and revolutionary measures are Intended to prevent a fair representation of tbe Democratic party in Congress, and that It is a villainous and arbitrary measure employed to perpetuate Republican control of tbe Fed eral Government regardless of tbe wishes and votes of the people. Resolved, That we reiterate all onr former declarations looking forward to sneb speedy change in our election laws as will secure to us tbe blessings of ballot reform, and therefore most heartily indorse tbe proposition to call a Constitutional Convention recognizing such desirable performance as the safest, surest and most speedy means of securing a secret and most incorruptible ballot.

OPPOSED TO REPUDIATION. CHAIRMAN HAINER SAYS LAWRENCE WILL STICK TO McDOWELL. He Charges that Benvrr Always Makes a Pass and Hints at tbe Use of Money In tbs Gubernatorial Canvass A Commit teeSUeetlni: a Farce. rePFXIAL TELZORAM TO TUX DISPATCH.1 New Castle, July 21. J. A. Haiuer, who was Chairman of Lawrence county's del egation at tbe Congressional Convention, saiJ to your correspondent to-day: I think Beaver county has displayed un limited gall in appointing three conferees to consult with a like number in the other counties in tbis district. Resolutions passed at Beaver Saturday repudiated McDowell's nomination. The only thing, then, tbat the three Beaver county conferees can do if the committee of the other three counties should meet, would b to insist on repudiation. Beaver's action leaves no other course open 'tis repudiation or noth ing, and as each coumy would have to decide that for herself, a committee meeting ot four counties would be a farce indeed. Here is an other thing: Suppose it should be shown tnat two or more delegates to the Republican State Convention had secured their election by the use of money, wny should not the Beaver County Committee order another convention held and repudiate tbe nomination of Delama ter without consulting the balance of tbe State? It would be consistent with the present action of Beaver. It wouldn't be hard to show tbat money was used. It required 103 votes and Delamater secured the nomination by 105. So that if three were thrown out there wonld be no candidate for Governor. Unless Beaver county had Its own way. there was always trouble. HadTownsend been nom-" inated, even if every delegate in Butler, Mer cer and Lawrence counties had been purchased outright, Beaver would not bave held np her hands In horror. It is well known tbat Town send was Senator Quay's man. Numerous telegrams came here during tbe convention from Quav, pointing out the necessity of noml nathu Townsend, because., be (Quay) wanted it. More than one of the candidates before tlit convention can show teleerams from Quay's lieutenants, making certain promises bribes, if you please which, bad they been accented, the present row would not bare resulted. I am glad tbat tbe guilty parties are to be prosecuted. I think it is rigor, but I am dead opposed to tbis repudi ating business, especially where it is absolutely certain tbat Major McDowell was not con nected with it. When a law Is passed in the Legislature and it is f onnd tbat money ba3 been used, tbe parties who do tbe bribing and the ones who are bribed are punished. Tbe fact tbat bribery was done does not make tbe law invalid. Lawrence county will stick to tbe nominee though tbe heavens fall. W. D. "Wallace, Esq., charged with the bribery of the Beaver county delegates, has not been arrested, and many think that he will not be. " . ANTICIPATE LIVE TMTA The Campaign In South oil a Fraught With Excl. -nent. fSPECTAL TELEGKAM TO THE DISPATCH. Columbia, S. C, July 21. Will Bill Tillman, tbe Farmers' candidate, be Gover nor of South Carolina? Every man, woman and child in the Palmetto State is asking this question. There are a great many who believe he will not be. Sonth Carolina politics have never before been in such a disturbed state. Even the turbulent days of 1876 were not a match to the present situation. iThen it was white man agaipst negro. Now it is brother against brother, household against house hold. It is a death struggle between two giant factions and whichever goes down will stay down. The temper of South Carolinians is such that if a not should ocenrat any of the ap proaching meetings, resulting in bloodshed, it is a generally accepted conclusion that Tillman will be killed. That he is hated with uncompromising venom is not to be denied. Tillman realizes the seriousness of bis attitude and frequently expresses himself as fear ul that he will be assassinated. An ticipating trouble, the citizens of Orange burg have appealed to the State Executive Committee to cancel the meeting at tbat place on the 29ib. It, however, will not be done. Tbere are other places where trouble of a serious nature will likely occur, and the joint meeting will no doubt be fraught with sensational incidents. AHOT-M'DOWELL MEN APPOINTED.

Dozens of physicians have called at the prison to see the man, and the greatest care is being ex ercised that he may not inflict injuries upon others. Thn physicians express tbe opinion that he will gradually grow worse, and can not live more than a few days in his present condition. ARREST OF A TENNESSEE MURDERER.
