The In dependent Republican State Committee, of which Hon. George 11 Mapes is Chairman, to-day issued the following address, which is signed by 100 prominent Republicans, representing nearly all the counties of the State: To the republicans of Pennsylvania: Wo address you, fellow citizens, as Republi cans, representing all sections of this com monwealth, proud ol tho history and achio e ments of the great party to which we belong, and anxious that in the future, as in the past, it shall promote and obtain that highest form of free government, "a government of tho peo ple, by the people and for the people.'' As Kepnbhcans we indorse the great principles embodied in the platform and vindicated by the history of the party of Lincoln, Sumner, Stevens, Garfield and other illustrious leaders, both living and dead. The Republican party lias still a mission to fulfill in the maintenance of the protective system, and in the guaranty of a tree and secret ballot in the hands of every citizen. : A Uieli Standard of Dntr. Wo remember that the Ilepublican party sprang from the manhood and tho conscience r: the people; act beliave that its high and honorable purposes cannot be sustained, or its mission folly followed, except by the preser vation of the same high standard of duty and honor which signalized its birth. N ever in the history of the State was it more necessary than now to seek to enforce the prerogative of a free people to have a controlling voice in the nomination of those who may administer the government of the Commonwealth. And, if in the making of a nomination, a convention fails to register the choice of the majority ana simply carries out the dictates of an autocratic Loss, we believe that such a nomination justifies every Republican in rebuking it at the polls. Upon what ground does Mr. Delamater seek your support for the great and responsible officoof Governorof this commonwealth? Is it the spontaneous voice of the people that calls him or the methods of the ward politician that obtains for him as a candidate? An Apt Tol ticnl Pupil. Mr. Delamater has long been a self-seeking machine politician, who gained the favor of the boss of the Republican party by his skillful use of the methods of his political master. As fetate Senator his record sbonshimto have been an advocate of corporate interests, to the prejudice of the interests of the people. His sililiation with the Standard Oil Company is well knonn. He is charged with defeating the tax bill for the relief of the farmers, tho Uillingsly bill tor the relief of the oil men, and with hostility to labor legislation instances out of many others to indicate the tenor of his statesmanship, While in the Senate he obtained large sums of State money on deposit in his bank, thereby ums his political power for personal profit and committing an offense prohibited by the constitution, one of the penalties of which is disqualification for the office he now seeks. Hat the circumstances attendinz Mr. Dela mater's nomination have forced into promi nence a far graver issue than that ot his per sonal fitness. Not only was Ti o 1'rco Choice of the Party thwarted bv his nomination, but a subserv ient com mtion inserted in the party platform (which Mr. Delamater has unqualihedlv in dorsed) the following declaration: "For the Churman of our National Committee, M. S. Qoay, ne feel a lasting sense of gratitude for his matchless services in the last Presidental campaign. As a citizen, a member of the Gen era! Assembly, as Secretary of the Common wealth under two successive administrations as State Treasurer by tho overwhelming suf frage of his fellow-citizens and as Senator of tho United States he has won and retains our respect and confidence." No uutrammeled and free convention would have dared to make such an indorsement The record of Mr. Quay is. or should be, knonn to every citizen In lS79the leading newspapers of the Republican party cast him from tho ranks for his prostitution of the Pardon Board in connection with the riot hill briberies. His conduct as the moving saint and direct bene ficiary of the odious .Recorder's bill has not been forgotten by the citizens of Philadelphia. Responsible accusers have repeatedly and spe cifically charged him with malfeasance in of fice, even with -embezzlement of large sums ot the public moneys. A Reference to Kennedy's Speech. These charges he has seen fit neither to ex plain uor deny even after they have gained currcnej on the floor of the Lower House of Congress. Under thefe tircumbtancesbecaunnt escape !rom this isue. and it is reasonable to insist that Mr Delainater's success will be Mr. Quay's vindication. Mr. Quay, who already dispenses the Federal patronage of the State, proposes to control as well the Executive and legislative branches of the government of the Commonwealth. To secure this end he has forced the nomina tion of Mr. Delamater lor the high office of Governor or I'eiinsjlvania, in the lace of the indignant protests of thousands of the best Re publicans of the State, and now asks the party to ratify his choice. He also proposes the election, as the leader of the State Senate, of Chairman W. H. Andrews who used without scruple the machinery of the Republican State Committee to force the nomination of Mr. Delamater. He is likewise endeavoring to secure the election of his son as his representative in the Assem bly, and, if successful, will thus bold within his grasp both the executive and legislative powers of the btate. In addition, he will strive to control and dominate the Pardon Board and thus have it in big power to thwart and nullify the very processes of justice, a dangerous power which be has already shown himself only too w illmg to exercise. An Even Grenlcr Dancer Visible. But the consequences of the election of Mr. Delamater are not bounded by the absolute control of all the branches of the government of the State of Pennsylvania, which would thus be placed in the hands of Mr. Quay. The suc cess of Mr. Qua in this contest ill constitute him the indorsed and chosen leader of the Re publican party, both in the State and nation, and the party must enter into the Fresidental contest of 1892 handicapped by the leadership of a man discredited in the eyes of the Ameri can people. Under such leadership tho party wonld be hopelessly defeated before the canvass began. To save the party from defeat in that con test it is absolutely necessary that be be de throned now. It is therefore the highest duty ot Republicans to their own party to refuse to vote for and sustain his candidate at this time. To accomplish the end proposed, all earnest Republicans should at this fitting time strike their most effective blow by voting as Republic ans for ex-Governor Robert E. Pattison. To stay aj home or cast a, ballot for a hopeless third candidate would bo an evasion of duty and a waste of power. Tho Man For the Flaec. Of Mr. Paulson's fitness for the office we leave Republicans alone to speak. On his re tirement from office inlSS7 the most partisan Republican newspapers which are ,now op. posing him were unanimous in their indorse ment of his administration. We quote from the Philadelphia Press ol January 17, 18S7: "It hat been, all in all, an administration against which nothing can be said. The integrity of Governor Pattison's purpose and the excellence of his intentions will not be questioned." The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph of January 18, 1$S7, called his administration "one of the most notably honorable and usefnl administra tions that this State ever enjoyed." The North American said: "If his administration has not been brilliant it has been better: it has been safe." The Inquirer of the same date said: "Tho red wine administration retires with a most admirable record. It goes out with clean hands, with good fame and common respect, and nothing but the narrowest party prejudice and bigotry would deny it the credit of its integrity and usefulness." To these Republican testimonials ot his fit- cess for the office we add nothing, for nothing is required. Only One Campaign Issnr. There is but one issue in this campaign. Purity of the ballot, fair elections, honest and courageous men in office, clear administration of public affairs, are and always will be su preme questions in a republic. If the Repub licans of Pennsylvania have reached that de gree of subservience that they will solemnly cast the vote of approval of a leader whose hand's are stained with corruption, then the da) s of the Republican party are numbered. The election of Robert E. Pattison cannot be construed as a partisan victory. His election in 1SS2 by a plurality of 42.000 was followed in 18S4 by a Republican majority of 60,003 for James G. Blame. The maintenance of the system of protection cannot honestly be brought into this contest. o true friend of protection will desire to at tach it to the fortunes of Mr. Quay. The de feat of Matthew B. Quay and his candidate wiltdcpend upon the intelligent Republicans. It will rid the Republican party of its most selfish and corrupt leadership, restoreyou your citizenship and vindicate your Commonwealth. GEORGE F. MAPEb. Chairman. E. Clinton Rhoads. Edwin A.

Shetter, WITH THE GRANGERS AGAIN, It Was Delamater' Day at the Rnrlt. County Agricultural J-how. rSTSCIAI. TELEOBAM TO TUI DISFATCH.I Dotlestown, September 24. This was a big day for Bucks county's agricultural show at Doylestown. The fact that Hon. George "W. Delamater was expected to be present, together with the clear, crisp weather, was sufficient to draw about 5,000 people within the inclosure. Heretofore Thursday has been regarded as the only big day, bnt this year there will be two big days. This was "Delamater's day," and to-morrow will be "Pattison's day." Mr. Delamater, who was to address the assem bled crowd at 11 o'clock, failed to arrive on the 10:15 train, and sent word he wonld ar rive in Doylestown on the 12:30. As soon .is he reached the fair grounds he was escorted to the stand erected for the purpose just outside the northeast wing of the main exhibition building. Mr. Delamater came with Irvine; p. Wanger, Ilepublican candidate for "(Con gress from the Seventh district, and took his seat on the platform among the invited guests. Eastburn Reider, President of the exbioition, Introduced L P. "Wanger, who spoke at some length. He was followed in a half hour speech by Senator Delamater. After the speech-making Mr. Delamater and party were driven to the Fountain House where thev sat down to a dinner tpnd4 them by Eastburn Reider, President oi the exhibition. After dinner Mr. Delamater was driven back to the fair grounds and seemed to take a lively interest in inspect ing the various exhibits and the races. " BOBBING UP SERENELY. Pendleton, Who Was Unseated, Will Run for Congress Again. rSrECIAL TELEGEAM TO THE PISPATCH.l Wheeling, September 24. The First District Congressional Democratic conven tion to-day, at Moundsville, after a hard fight, renominated John O. Pendleton for Congress on the first ballot.

GILL FOR GOVERNOR. HE TAKES THE VACANT PLACE ON THE COLD-WATER TICKET. It Asserted Tun l Miller, Who Withdrew, Will Pat 810,000 Into the Campaign A Change Id the Rules of the Party Recommended. rSPZCIALTELEOIUUI TO THE DISPATCH.! Habkisbueg, September 24. About 30 members of the Prohibition State Commit tee met here to-day to supply the vacancy on the party's State ticket occasioned by the declination of Charles Miller, of Venango county, to run for Governor, after he had given assurance that he would accept the nomination if tendered to him. As John D. Gill, of "Westmoreland county, who re ceived the second highest vote in the late State convention for Governor, was present as a member ol the State Committee, it was thought advisable to make him the standard bearer of the party. Prominent members of the commitee received assurances that he would lead the forlorn hope. He was nominated without any oppositisn after Miller's letter o' declination had been ac cepted. Mr. Gill appeared before the com mittee and indicated his purpose not only to yield to the party's demand, but to employ all his available time in battling for its cause. He regarded his call as coming from God, and while not indicating any confi dence in prohibition success in this cam paign, expressed the belief that the princi ples of the party would ultimately triumph. The committee decided to change the rules of the party because they were not adapted to the present condition of political affairs, and a committee, consisting of A. Ricketts, of Luzerne; A. A. Stevens, of Blair, W. W. Hague, of Warren, H. T. Ames, of Lycoming, and John D. Gill, candidate for Governor, was appointed to formulate rules to meet circumstances which did not exist when those now in operation were drafted. Different methods of raising campaign funds were discussed, and a proposition to appoint an organizer in every county, to serve for two years, was read with much favor and will doubtless be affirmatively acted on by the Chairman of the State Com mittee. H. D. Patton, Chairman of the Prohibi tion State Committee, said to-day that the course of Mr. Miller in withdrawing from the ticket had done no harm to it, and that the party's organization was unusually good, which was evidenced by the nomina tion of county tickets in nearly all the coun ties in the State. As showing he was not idle, he said he had already made arrange ments for 40 rallies in as many counties. Although the retirement of Mr. Miller from the ticket is considered very singular, the Chairman of the State Committee and other prominent Prohibitionists expect material assistance from him in the prosecution of their campaign. He is said to have de clared his willingness to contribute at least $10,000 In the interest of the partv if the money was needed. It is understood that he will establish a daily Prohibition paper at franklin. While he is generally credit ed with being a sincere Prohibitionist, a few think the Standard Oil Company had a great deal to do with his refusal to stand as a candidate. NOMINATED IN SECRET. United Labor Meet to Fix Uo n Ticket for the Mate Campaign. Philadelphia, September 24. In pur suance of a call issued by Chairman Theo dore P. Binger, the Executive Committee of the United Labor party met here to-day for the purpose of discussing the advisibil ity of placing a ticket in the field this fall. The meeting was secret and at its con clusion it was announced that it had been decided to place the following ticket in nomination: Governor, Theodore IT.

A Tale of SafferiogTold by the Survivor of thD Yacht Wreck. Winnipeg, September 24. Matthew Watts, the sole survivor of the crew of the yaeht Ecewatin, arrived at Selkirk to-day and tells a tale of terrible suffering. The yacht was wrecked in a heavy gale on Sep tember 6, in Lake Winnipeg. The boat cap sized. Corporal Murphy and Private Rene got on the side, while Watts clung to the cabin. Rene could only hold on four hours, when he slipped off and was seen no more. After this Watts got up on the side of the boat with Murphy, where they both tied them selves and remained for two days, after which time Murphy became restless and rolled off, sayine, "Matthew, I am going and hope you will be spared to tell the tale." Watts then strapped himself to the boat with a rope and was at the mercy of the waves for ten days, when he wav picked up at Split itock .roiiit by some Indians a short distance from the shore almost life less, being nil this time without anything to eat The Indians took him to th'eir camp and applied restoratives and cared lor him until the steamer Aurora arrived and took him aboard. Watts is CS years of age. TEYING TO FREE THE ANARCHISTS. Bmler Claims They Are Imprisoned Through Technical Omissions. Chicago, September 24. Another legal step toward the release uf the Anarchists now confined in the penitentiary was taken in the Federal Court to-day in the shape of a petition for a writ of habeas corpns on be half of Michael Schwab. 'Attorney Salomon has associated with him in this case Gen eral B. F. Butler, and a letter from the latter asserts that the prisoners are entitled to discharge under the law. The reason Schwab appears alone in the fight is because the law in his case will cover those of Oscar Neebe and Samuel Fielden. and should Schwab prove successful in his application then the other prisoners will follow with similar petitions. Technical omissions in the wording of the process upon which Schwab is held at Joliet, and the point that contrary to the record he was not present either in person or by cont sel when sentence was affirmed by the Su preme Court of Illinois, form the basis Of the petition for habeas corpns. Jndge Gresham, to whom the petition was pre sented, issued a rnle on Attorney General Hunt to show cause by Monday why the writ prayed for should not issue.

MICHAEL DAVITT'S REVELATIONS. British Gold Directly Used to Get Up the Dynamite Scare. SPIES AT WOKE ON BOTH CONTINENTS, Proof Pronistd for Every dirge, ad an Isvestigs tion Courted. The first installment of Michael Davitt's revelations will be given to the public in London to-day. He asserts that the dyna mite explosions and the charges against Parnell were but a portion of a Government conspiracy. A direct accusation is made against the British Consul General in con nection with "Red Jim" McDermott. rmr puslap's cable cokpant.j London, September 24. Michael Davitt will begin in his new paper to-morrow a most remarkable series of disclosures, -to the effect that the fabric ot political events that began with the dynamite explosions at the House of Parliament, the Nelson column in Trafalgar Square, and the underground rail way some years ago, and ended with the Parnell Commission, was the result ot a deep-laid conspiracy on the part of the Government to connect Parnell with these outrages, and so destroy him and his move ment together. Davitt goes to the root of the matter, pro ceeding to divulge the secret history of the great dynamite conspiracy. He shows that it was only after the hiring of James Mc Dermott, or "Red Jim," as he was nick named, that the dynamite campaign really began. WHAT WILL BE TEOVED. He says: "We shall establish by indis putable evidence all the charges that we now make, namely, that one James Mc Dermott, of Brooklyn, N. Y., organized the dynamite plots in Cork and Liverpool, in the year 1883, by the aid of money furnished to him by the British Consul General at New York and the officials in Dublin Castle; that McDermott supplied dynamite to his dupes, Feathcrstone, Deasy and Others, and then betrayed them to the police, using the dynamite in their possession as proof of their guilt; that McDermott by his own confession and over his own signature admitted that he was cognizant of and a party to the dynamite outrage which occurred in London; that French, the head of the Irish constabulary detec tives, was involved with McDermott in the dynamite schemes in Ireland. That' Mc Dermott sent Nyk to Montreal in 1883 with the knowledge and consent ot the British consnl, to organize a dynamite plot in that city." He goes on to say that a female agent of the police visited Dnblin in 1883 and of fered money to different men in that city if they would consent to engage in a plot to blow up the Honse of Commons. AN INVESTIGATION COtTBTED. The article continues: "We undertake to make good eieh and all of these charges on oath by witnesses who shall -be txam ined before' any tribunal or committee of investigation the Home Secretary may se lect for that purpose. These charges must not and shall not be shirked. The ends of justice demand an investigation." The story begins in October, 1882, and in troduces McDermott as an employe of the British Consnl General. It describes how he and another spy got into O'Donovan Rossa's office and stole all his papers, which they delivered to the Consul and then the British authorities cabled that McDermott be sent to England. The narrative breaks oil with the arrival of McDermott at Liver pool, where he was met by an emisary of the Dublin Castle Secret Service. ROBBERY AT THE ALTAR A German Thiers Tiold Attempt to Sccnre a (!lii' Jewell. BT DCNLAP'S CABLE COMPANY.! BONN, September 24. While a yonng girl was praying before the shrine of the Virgin in a chapel in the forest of Rhein bacb, a stranger entered and locked the door. He then threw himself on the sole occupant and tried to rob ber of her jewels. As she resisted, a struggle ensued, dnring which a frail altar that stood before the shrine was torn down. The uproar attracted the attention of some wood choppers, who happened to be in the neighborhood, and they soon forced an en trance, resetting the girl, but in doing so allowed her assailant to escape. The Ber lin police are, however, in possession of clews that, it is hoped, will lead to his arrest. AGAINST THE UNIONS. A Combination of Coal Merchants to Fight tho Labor Organizations.

An accident to day, in which five were killed nnd 20 in jured, occurred on a street railway between here and Fiesole, ihree miles away, on which electricity is used. It appears that the conductor insisted on closing the regu lator while the train was descending a down grade. This greatly increased the speed, as he tnrned it the wrong way, and threw the cars off the rails. Although wounded him self, he has been arrested as being responsi ble. The disaster has cansed a most painful impression, the Kine and Queen not only abandoning a proposed visit to the races and going to the scene of the accident to personally superintend the relief of the wounded, but an elaborate banquet to Signor Crispi being also postponed.

THE EFFECT OF M'KINLEY'S BILL. London The Standard's Vienna corre spondent says: "Americans here declare that European reprisals for the McKinley bill will have no effect upon the Americans. An noting American Min ister told me that the McKinley bill must not be considered a final measure, bnt the commencement of a well-worked out scheme which, the entire nation, with the exception of a small uninftuential minority, is resolved to see realized and will not abandon it until it is given a fair trial. The feelings and interests of Europe cannot be taken into consideration. Differences of opinion in the Senate or Honse of Repre sentatives refer rather to means than to principles."

Paeis The Comte de Paris has written to Senator Bocherr regarding tboBoulangist revelations, justifying the course he took in using the weapons with which the Republic provided him in order t) divide the Re publicans and allow the country to speak: for itself.

KENNEDY'S SPEECH AT LAST EXPUNGED TMrty.Three RtpuMicsas id Two Dcaocrats StMd by the Ohio Onto. The Senate and Honse are still far apart on two important features of the tariff bill. Members of both branches predict the de feat of the measure whichever way the com mittee makes its decision. Sugar and bind ing twine are the toughest knots, though a kick on steel billets is promised. IFltOlI A ETAPy COBEESPOSPKNT.1 Washington, September 24. The Re publican members of the conference on the tariff bill, who have been at work since Saturday without the assistance of the Democrats, have agreed on all things in the bill except sugar and binding twine. It is hard for them to say themselves whether or not they have made any progress on these two items. Apparently they are as far apart as ever. About half a hundred propositions for compromise have been made and disenssed to a greater or less extent, bnt each has been rejected in turn, and the matter still hangs. The trouble does not lie in the committee so much as with members of the two Houses. The conferees wonld have no trouble in reaching an agreement on both the sugar and binding twine, but anything they pro pose to do is threatened with opposition of Republicans in one House or the other. ANY NUMBER OF KICKERS. The majority of Republicans in both Senate and House are opposed to free bind ing twine, but in both there are a consider able minority who insist ou free twine, and threaten to fight for it. Certain Republican members in the House say they will never accept a renort that does not give free sugar up to 10, while on the other hand the Senate Republicans refuse to go above 13. Governor Gear said this evening that the Honse conferees were stan ding firm as a rock in their determination to have free sugar, while on the other hand nearly a dozen Senators have, it is said, declared their intention to vote against the passage of the bill nnless it contains free binding twine. Between the disagreements the Con ference Committee is continually in hot water, but after doing all thev can" to brinn- about an agreement between the opposing tactions they will probably act for them selves, doing the best they can and trust to party discipline for the rest On every hand there is the evidence of anxiety which marks the closing ot the con test. The doors of the room of the Finauce Committee are besieged, and no member of the conlerence puts his nose in one of the corridors without being seized by some one seeking information or having an argument to make. A BOLT ON STEEL. Senators who are not on the Conference Committee are among those who bang about tntTcSrrjdors to waylay the conferees. Rep resentatives Bayne, Mason and others to-- day made an ineffectual attempt to have the rates on steel billets as fixed by the com mittee changed. They were given to under stand that the metal schedule would not be touched again, and that it had been finally adjusted. Mr. Mason told The Dispatch corre spondent to-night that he and two other Chicago Congressmen would certainly vote against the passage of the bill while this and some other matters affecting Chicago's inter ests were retained in the bill. The probability is, however, that Speaker Reed will find some means of whipping these recalcitrants into line. It is said to-day that the glass schedule, as arranged by the committee, is not nearly so satisfactory to the manufacturers as was the impression yesterday. No definite in formation on the subject can be obtained, but it is now said that the rates on glass are only a trifle higher than were proposed in the Senate bill. Mr. McKinley said to night that he had every reason to believe that the report would be presented to the House to-morrow, Liohtner. HARBISON FEELING BETTER As the Result of Ills Vacation in the Blount nins of Pennsjlranln. Washington, September 24.

Judge Stewart, oi Vermont, called np in the Home to-day the resolution from the Judiciary Committee to expunge Representative Ken nedy's speech, in which he att -1 Senator Qoay and criticised the W -m the Record.

It was an effective stump speech, abounding plentifully in demagogism, and at its close Mr. Kennedy was enthusiastically applauded. Judge Stewart then made a tew remarks and moved the previous question. On the first division upon this motion a large majority voted for a further discussion ot the matter, but by a jea and nay vote the previous question was ordered and the resolution was adopted. Officially, therefore, Mr. Kennedy's original speech is as though it had never been uttered, and the dignity of the House is restored. The vote on the adoption of the resolution was 151 yeas and 35 nays. Wilh one ex ception the Pennsylvania delegation voted for it solidly. The exception was Mr. 63 borne.

AGAINST THE PENNSYLVANIA. Another AalUDIscrlmlnailon Rait Drongbt Becanse of Oil Shipments. rSFECIAL TELrORAJI TO TUB niSPATCIt.l Philadelphia. September 24. A suit for 5816,345 was- begun to day against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company by Lewis J. Levick under the anti-discrimination law of 1885. Mr. Levick's suit is based on shipments of oil from the oil regions of Pennsylvania to the Seaboard Oil Works at Thnrlow, Delaware county, between March 1884, and March, 1885. The Seaboard Oil Works were owned by Crew, Levick & Co. That firm con sisted of J, Lewis Crew, Lewis J. Levick and Thomas E. Jenkins. In September, 1889, VIr. Crew and Mr. Jenkins sold oat to Mr. Levick. Included in the sale was in terest in the present snit. As stated in court the claim against the railroad com panv is based upon the illegal charge bv the railroad company upon 170,123 barrels of oil shipped to the 'works at'lnurlow. It is claimed the railroad charged Crew. Levick & Co. 13 cents per barrel more than is charged a rival, understood in this case to be Standard Oil Company. Mr. Levick foots np his direct loss on this account to be $22,115 99, and estimates a loss, of $250,000 more lor the reason that they "were unable to run the refinery profitablv on account of the undue discrimination." Mr. Levick quotes the law of June 4, 1883, which imposes upon common carriers a pen alty of treble damages for the offense of dis criminating against shippers. Trebling the $23,115 99 excess ot freights and the $25,000 geueral damages to the business, Mr. Lev ick makes his claim against the railroad company mr $816,315. SHE IS A PUZZLER.

NO SHBr-DOWS IET FOUND NECESSAEI Inquiry among manufacturers regarding the shortage of natural gas brings forth in teresting replies. While a scarcity of luel is generally admitted, there, has been no shut-down on this account and bnt one firm talks serionsly of returning tocoal. The Dispatch being unwilling to al low anynnfonnded rumor detrimental to the interests of Pittsbnrg to gain currenc y, pro poses to investigate such rnmors thor oughly. A shortage of natural gas at cer tain places having been reported, with the intention of mill owners to retnrn to the use v y. vs-tnem, to ascertain the exact facts , V st y- tase. .cuiiowing are me results: M Bishop, city aent of the Na tional Tube Works, of McKecsport, being informed that the works were partially shut down on account of the gas shortage, and that eight puddlers had gone to seek work elsewhere because of the irregularity of the gas supply, said: "That is not so. The Na tional Tube Works are not partially shut down. They are all right. After the strike several puddling furnaces were not started again, as the company had plenty of muck bar on hand. These furnaces will not be started for some time. Wnen they are they may be started with coal. Any further in formation must be obtained at the works at McKeesporL" EXPECT IT WILL BE ALL BIGHT. Mr. T. B. Atterbury, of the Southside glass firm, said: "We have been short of gas for about three weeks during davlight, but have had plenty of gas at night. We have used wood and coal to help out during the day. This has happened before abont this season, but the trouble has been worse this year. We expect to have enough gas as soon as the Bellevernon line is connected up. No, we have not thought of going back to coal for fuel. When we cannot have natural gas we will have manufactured gas." Mr. Laughlin, of Jones & Laughlins, (Limited), was next seen at the company's office. Third avenue and Try street Said he: "Wo have been short of gas. We have a gas line of our own, you know, but it has never supplied enough gas for all our works. We have been getting some from the Philadelphia Company all along, on the Southside, until this summer. For some reason, I don't understand just what, there has been no gas in that line since they have been laying the new line to Belle vernon something about their connections being changed. Thev promise us plenty of gas as soon as the Bellevernon line is com pleted, and I have no doubt of It. No, wi have no intention of returning to THE USE OP COAL at present. We have been burning toal under some boilers on the Southside, which, no donot, gave rise to this report. We will not return to the use of coil until we must, and we hope that will not be soon. Event ually we will all have to go back to coal, I suppose, whether in the old form, or con verted into gas." Mr. Moorhead, of Moorhead, Bros. & Co., at the office of the Vesuvious Iron Works, Auuersou street, .negneny, saia: xe, we are short We have been short of gas for a long time. We will use coal. We can't stand it to go on the way we have. Sometimes there is enough gas. There is enough at night. From 12 o'clock to 1 the gas comes stronger. But we can't fill con tracts the way things are. We can't have the men stand around and go home without having a full dav In or have to throw out a furnace full of iron half heated. Yes, we get our gas from the Philadelphia Company. We always have. The company HAS BEEN PBOMISING PLENTT of gas when they got the Bellevornon line completed. They have been going to have it completed for some time, bnt have not yet. If they can give ns the gas I hope it will be soon. I understand some ot the mills have plentv of gas. They tell me Mr. (Mr. Moorhead used the name) has more than enough. But we have not enongh and had not last winter. I think they haven't got the goods to deliver. If the Bellevernon line is the remedy they should have had that line completed earlier. At the office of the Republic Iron Works, South Twenty-fifth and Whafton streets, no member of the firm could be found. The works were running all right, with gas, when visited at 4:30 P. Jr. A bookkeeper in the office answered the questions asked cautiously, speaking as one not in authority. "The puddling furnaces were not closed yes terday. I saw the puddlers pas3 to and from their work as nsnal. Yes, there is some shortage of gas. I think everybody is tronbled that way and has been for some time. No, we are not nsing any more coal than we have been all alone, I think" "You would be understood, then, to say there is a shortage of gas, bnt not to the ex tent of shutting down any part of the works as reported?" "That's about it." At the office of the Philadelphia Com pany plenty of gas was predicted as soon as the Bellevernon 36-inch line was completed, and that was promised soon. ENOUGH GAS AFTER MONDAY. Mr. T. A. Gillespie, of the contracting; firm laying the big pipe to Bellevernon, was seen on the street, and in answer tn the ques tion when that line would be completed, said: "The Dispatch can say that will be done Monday next. Yes, there will be enongh gas when that line is connected. Short or gas? Of course they are short of gas. The mills have always been short of gas at this season of the year, when winter connections are being made, and so on. They will be all right in a few days. Yes, the Morris farm well at Bellevernon is one of the biggest ever struck. I don't know of any larger one. It is a big well." From the loregoing it would appear prob able that the shortage of gas is temporary, and has cansed no more inconvenience than wonld have resnlted from the existing short age of cars had coal been in general ue in the mills. The situation at the Pennsvlva nia Tube Works was fully stated some time ago. There is nothing to add to the infor mation then given. The company expects to have its coal gas plant ready to operate la January. Cstnc, SHORTAG u I I M s-ij ,,. mmisHMHm ii "jfat.
