f BE6H EOODLE 1HS IN THE BEAVER DISTBICT
rraosi A etatp cokeespondest.1
Philadelphia, October 29, "What is
Allegheny county going to do?" That is
the bnrden of all inquiry in political circles
here.
The DisrATCH detailed me to com-! to
1'hiladelphia to catch & glimpse of the situa
tion in the State at large from the windows
of all the political headquarters located
here. It was also thought that the progress
of the Gubernatorial struggle in Philadel
phia would prove instructive to Pitts
burgers. But the result of one day' loitering among
politicians proves that after nil Allegheny
county is the battle ground upon which the
eyes ot all Pcnnsylranians are turned in the
closing days of the bitterest campaign that
this State has seen for years.
Two Views of the Situation.
This morning one paper here gives a long
interview with "James F. Grimes," whom
it says is a prominent business man about
Pittsburg. It heads the interview, "Alle
gheny Skies Bright," and so they are from
.Mr. Grimes' Delamater standpoint.
And to-morrow morning another Phila
delphia paper will publish a story about
affairs being in such an extremity for Dela
mater in Allegheny county that the machine
has sought the aid of the Junior Order of
the American Mechanics in a circular which
Ossys that very vote for Pattison is a vote
for the Catholic Church. These two in
stances are merely mentioned to show the in
terest taken by Philadelphia people in Al
legheny county.
Busy Scenes Around Headquarters.
The last week of the campaign opened
with very busy scenes r.t the various State
headquarters in this city. la the snile of
rooms at the Continental Hotel occupied by
the Republican State Committee. State
Chairman Andrews has a clerical force of at
least 40 persons at work.
Clerk Morrison, of Pittsburg, has the
bulk of the office management on hands, as
Prank Willing Leach is kept largely on
the outvide or in consultation with the
leaders. Leach is identified with the Vaux
Congressional struggle as representative ol
the Republican Committee. The State head
quarters are adorned with handsome por
traits, first of Quay and then Delamater.
The walls of the general reception room are
canopied with two huge flags and papered
with campaign posters.
Chairman Andrews has quietly com
menced his final canvass of the State, but
no figures will be given out until just be
fore Hie election. General Hastings and
State Treasurer Boyer will address a great
Republican meeting here to-morrow night
st the Academy of Musi".
"Wallace and Pattison in Conference
Governor Patlison and Hon. "William A.
Wallace were both at State Democratic
headquarters to-day. Immediately after the
hearing in his libel suits Mr. Pattison went
to State Chairman Kerr's rooms to arrange
dome details about his last speaking tour of
rural counties. Senator "Wallace was jovial
and appeared sanguine of success.
The Democratic headquarters are manned,
besides Mr. Kerr, by the Secretary, Ben M
Nead, William P. r.ealer. of Bellefonte: P.
liib'e, ana a large corps of clerks. The
headquarters take up the whole of a four
story building at o. UK Penn square.
The most thorough system of State canvass
ing has been carriel out.
The new system of county chairmen, in
augurated at th Scranton convention, haB
been found to lack complete utility for this
campaign, so in very many instances the
State officers have communicated directly
with county chairmeri.
A Thorough Organization Secured.
This has resulted in most perfect organiza
tion 'or the November elections. The com
mittee has even reached down into school
districts, and through those into precinct:.
Their aims is to set out a fair percentage of
the whole Democratic vote in tho State,
which with the Independent Bepubhcan
vote they believe will elect their candidate.
The books now in the headquarters show
that in the last Presldental election lully
100,000 Democratic votes in the State of
Penn.ylvania were not cast The books
Bhow where thiB stay-at-home vote was and
npoj it extraordinary persuasion will be
used this fall.
At both Republican and Democratic
headquarters it is predicted that a remark
ably heavy vote will be polled. It is not
improbable that it will exceed 950,000.
There has not been a Gubernatorial cam
paign for years when the active interest of
the people all over the State has been so
much aroused as it is in the one now draw
ing to a close, and there will be compara
tively little trouble ou Tuesday next in
turnine out the lull vote.
Independents Want Honct Ballot.
The State headquartcis of the Inde
pendent Republicans are on Chestnut
Etreet, near Tenth street. They are in
charge of George E. Mapes, the Chairman.
.Auinormoui amount 4J caapaiga. liters,, I
ture has been sent out from these rooms, and
the work is now closing up along tbe line.
The final days will be devoted to securing
an honest ballot in doubtful districts
throughout the State. For this work of
vigilance in the city of Philadelphia the
Lincoln Independent Republican Club has
co-operated with Mr. Mapes. General
charces that money is being used freely
already are openly made.
The Republican City Committee is also
coming down the homestretch with hard
work. On Monday it Durchased at the post
office one lot of 50,000 2-cent postage stamps.
Every ward is being gone through. The
cry of false registration in the Fourth ward
has been raised. But that is only a drop of
the bitter stuff that will be spilled out of the
political caldron between now and Tuesday.

ERNOR PATTISON.
More of the Accused Bound Over to Court
Both Sides Profess to he Only Too
Anxious for a Speedy Trial Scenes and
Incidents.
IETECIAT. TTLEGUAX TO THE DISPATCH. I
Philadelphia, October 29. At 3
o'clock this afternoon Magistrate O'Brien's
office was crowded by politicians and others
to witness the proceedings in the criminal
libel suit instituted by ex-Governor Pat
tison against Clayton McMichael, tho editor
and publisher of the Jforth American, and
James S. Elverson, publisher of the Phila
delphia Inquirer, for the publication of the
article on the South Pcnn. There were
present beside Governor Pattison, Judge
Gordon and William S. Stenger, ex-Secre
tary of the Commonwealth, and Mayer Sulz
berger and Richard P. White, attorneys
for the prosecution.
It was evident there was to be more than
a mere binding over, for the parties were
present with a file ot a newspaper and sun
dry letters. The crowd in attendance im
patiently awaited the arrival of the defend
ants, and at last at 3:05 City Solicitor
Charles P. Warwick, accompanied by Claj
ton M -.Michael, of the Xort American, en
tered tho office. Mr. Elersou was not
present, but he was represented by James
H. Shak'-pere and Jamet H. Heverin.
"Westaud her ready to meet th.: charge,"
said Mr. Warwick, "before a tribunal wher.
both sides can be heard."
Then there was a little commotion when
some onesung out "the magistrate wants the
light turned on." Laughter.
"We are ready to go on at any time. We
want a speedy trial, and it can't come too
quickly," broke in Mr. Warwick. "That
being the case," answered Mr. Sulzberger,
"I will not insist npon a repetition of the
testimony given at the previous hearing.
In order to put Mr. McMichael exactly
right, if he does not object, we will have in
cluded in the complaint the libel of yester
day and to-day. We regard the editorials
in the Xorth American of the past two days
a reiteration of the libel."
Then Mr. Sulzberger -whispered to ex
Governor Pattison, and in a minute or two
said: "Governor Pattison instructs me to
say that he has no objection to the hearing
being speedily disposed of by admitting the
defendant to bail. He does not insist upon
the repetition of the testimony adduced
on Monday if the defendant considers he is
fully acquainted with the charges. If the
defendant complains that he had no oppor
tunity for cross-examination or the calling
of witnesses we are ready for that."
"We desire to have a speedy trial," re
marked Mr. Sulzberger, "and' w soon as a
dav can be fixed we are ready.""
"The sooner the better," replied Mr.
Warwick. ' tt
"Well, then, as the defendant waives a
hearing I will hold him ?n S1.500 bail to
answer at court," said the? magistrate.

ISPECIAI. TELEQKAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Scranton, October 29. General Master
Workman Powderly prints in this even
ing's Truth a two-column letter unequivo
cally indorsing Pattison's candidacy in the
interests of ballot reform. Mr. Powderly
says the Republican convention which nom
inated Mr. Delamater did not seem to know
whether it was necessary to have a constitu
tional convention or not, and the Demo
cratic Convention passed tbe question with
out comment.
However, when addressing mass meetings
of citizens of the State, Mr. Pattison made
a declaration that the only method to bring
about ballot reform was a constitutional
convention, and that he favored it, while
Mr. Delamater has contented himself with
a half-hearted declaration. Concluding,
Mr. Powderly says:
Basing all of my hopes for tho future of
Pennsylvania on a secret. Dure and official
ballot, believing that that cannot bo secured
without a constitutional convention, 1 shall
vote for that man and candidate who favors
both so openly, so unequivocally and so boldly
thai his fellow citizens may hear the words
from the forum. Mr. Pattison has stated fully
and frankly where be stands on a constitu
tional convention. Mr. Delamater has not done
so, and has contented himself with repeating
what was adopted by the convention that nomi
nated hlu'. lie has not stated his position on
the question of a constitutional convention and
I shall vote for Mr. Pattison.
In making this statement I violate no law of

guarantee of doing the most for labor. While
I do no' ask anyone to vote as 1 do, I believe
that the best interests of tho State will bo

Governor.
AN OVERDOSE OF EMPLOYES.
Congressman Wilson Slakes Vigorous
Charges Against Commissioner Mason.
IFIIOM A 6TATF COBEESPONDENT. J
Washington, October 29. Hon. M L.
Wilson, the brilliant Democratic Congress
man from the Second West Virginia dis
trict, made a flying visit to the Capital to
day and talked freely of the political situa
tion. He admitted the closeness of the con
test in all th - districts of his State. In re
gard to his own case, he said:
"If the vote is got out there is no doubt of
the Democrats having a majority. But my
district is overrun with Government em
ployes, who are doing all the political work
they can. I do not see where Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Mason could put a man
in the district that be has not done it.
Wherever one of the revenue agents is
needed for campaign work he is ordered,
and gets his $2 a day while working on the
campaign. He had one man stationed to
watch a single barrels of whisky for 100
days at $2 a day, so he could be where he
could do campaign work."
In this connect.on Mr. Wilson showed a
letter add .essed toMr. J. E. Hail by Commis
sioner Mason. The Mr. Hall to whom it
was addressed is a friend of Mr. Wilson,
and presumably the letter was intended for
Mr. M. F. Hall, the postmaster at Phillippi,
and editor of the Republican newspaper. It
is marked personal, and suggests that the
editor attack Mr. Wilson for dodging the
vote on the last pension bill. Commenting
on this letter, Mr. Wilson said:
"Mason's confidential letter is false, as he
perfectly well knew. The conference report
was sprung on the House without notice and
ruslied through nnder previous question. I
wasobsent in Missouri, and the Congres
tionil Record shows that I was paired with
General Grosvcnor, who was absent in Ohio.
More than 50 Republicans were likewise
absent and paired, and Mjson would never
accuse those of dodging this vote."

Philadelphia, October 20. Robert

was accorded a most enthusiastic reception.
He addressed a large meeting and eloquently
presented the issues of the campaign, pre

The Gubernatorial candidate arrived here
from Milton where he had also been warmly
received, and where he made a brief speech".
He referred to Pattison as a demagogue and
charged him with deceiving the people on
the taxation question. He defended corpora

emphasized the fact that if he was defeated
this fall the result would be heralded from
Maine to California as a rebuke to the Mc

A MIDNIGHT HOREOE.
Anton Guatelli Perishes in Flames
and Bis Daughter is Dying.
A FATAL FRE ON GRANT STREET.
Brave Firemen Eescne the Imperiled
Family From the Hoof.
FRANTIC AKGOISII OF THE 5I0THEE
The notes of the midnight bell ushered in
a fire by which Anton Guatelli, employed
as a teazer in William McCully & Co.'s
Sixteenth street factory, lost his life,
and his six-year-old daughter Mary
was so badly burned that she may not live.
The rest of the family, including the mother,
two boy and another little girl had a very
narrow escape from destruction. The -fire
occurred at Dyer's stables on Grant street.
About 30 horses sheltered therein were got
out in time.
Five minutes after the call had been sent
in, the vicinity of the fire presented a stir
ring appearance. Scores of willing hands
assisted in getting out the horses and
wagons, while through the thick, black
clouds of smoke now pouring from the
two-story structure the firemen raised ladders
to rescue the human lives on the second
floor above. It was known that these were
occupied by Guatelli ana his family. The
blinding smoke almost stifled the workers,
as it had rendered the occupauts of the
room nearly senseless, but by a great effort
Mrs. Guatelli and three children were
safely rescued through the windows and
onto the adjoining roof,
rescued fkom the flames.
One little girl was nearly overlooked,
but was discovered In time to pre
vent her being swallowed up in the
flames. As she was brought down the lad
der her cries were piteous. She was careful
ly carried to Mrs. Daly's house, and a doc
tor sent for. The child was Mary Guatelli,
and but G years of age, and she showed very
plainly the narrow escape she had had.
With but an apology for a garment covering
her body, she had been very badly
burned about the body and
head. Mr. Daly and the neighbor's who
came in to render assistance, tried to quiet
the child, but without aval'. She was evi
dently in great pain. The doctor not arriv
ing, Officer Kenny tenderly carried the
little girl to the patrol wagon and she was
conveyed to the Homeopathic Hospital. At
an early hour this morning the child was re
ported as not likely to survive. Mrs. Guatelli
was assisted to the house of Mrs. Schock, on
Strawberry alley. She had not escaped
harmless and Dr. Jacob, of Webster avenue,
was soon busy in allaying the fever in her
burned arms and hands. The children were
safely conveyed to Arnold's Hotel where
they were cared for.
CRYING for her lost .ones.
"OhI where is my husband and my little
Mary?" were the piteous cries that the
sorely afflicted woman gave vent to in the
intervals ot her intense bodily suffering.
She was assured that they were all right,
and that Mary wa. in the hospital. But it
was, unfortunately, not quite so.
The family were in bed when the flames
go suddenly burst on them, and bad time to
barely don a garment when driven, out.. It.
was nof until the heavy smoke: had" -filed'
away that the fate of tbe head of that family
wasdiscovered. His charred body was found
in the hayloft adjoinins his apartments. A
newly-construrted stairway hadcost him his
life. Forgetting in his excitement that it
had been removed and re-erected in a differ
ent position, he had rushed to it, as he
thought, but failing in reaching it at the
first attempt, the stifling smoke had suffo
cated him and the devouring flames had
made the work certain. The body was con
veyed to the morgue. It had been very
badly charred.
The fire is supposed to have had its origin
in the hay at the back of the stables, but
trom whatcanse is not known. Only by the
willing assistance of many hands were the
horses rescued. Very curiously for such
animals they did not betray the nervousness
usual with them when fire arises. They
were mostly stalled in Burns' establishment
for the night.
losses by the fire.
Mr. B. F. Dyer, who is the United States
mail contractor, is tbe largest loser in ma
terial goods. The stable building is owned
by Sylvester Delt, and is on land owned by
the Denny estate. The building was prob
nblv worth $4,000, and as the walls are yet
in pretty good condition the loss will not be
great. It was insured, bnt to what amount
was not learned. The value of the
property owned by Mr. Dvcr would
reach to 520,000. There " were 27
horses and as many wagons. Eighteen
wagons on the upper floor were partially
destroyed. These wacons cost 400 each.
Summing up the loss it would amount to
the hay in the stable, a bin ot oats, probably
900 bushels, and harness. Mr. Dyer did no"t
care to estimate his loss, but 82,500 would
probably be high. He was insured for
about one-half the value of his propertyin
the Northern Fire Insurance Company.
OTHER FINANCIAL SUrFEEERS.
To the east of the stables are two low
brick buildings. The first is occupied byT.
W. Murray as a second-hand bookstore and
residence, with his wife and little baby.
The building is owned by 'Squire Riley.
The second is occupied by P. L.
Seely & Sons bottlers, and is
also owned by 'Squire Riley. To the
west arc two frame buildings. The first is
owned by Jacob Lienimger, and occupied
by him as a barber shop and residence. The
second is occupied as an intelligence office
and tenement house. Mrs. Thompson and
Mrs. O'Brien have rooms as & dressmaking
establishment, and Miss Rhoda Wilkius
works for them. Mrs. O'Leary also had
rooms in the building.
The goods in the above houses were more
or less damaged by water, but' the fiio did
not Teach them. The roof of Lienimger's
place was slightly burned. He is insured
for ?1,500 on the house and $500 on his
goods. There is no insurance on any of the
others.
Antonio Gautelli was 40 years of age and
has been a resident of the city for many
years and aresnected member of the Italian
colony. His wife is an American, her
mother residing on Strawberry alley.
The children ranged in age trom 2 months
to 9 years, the two eldest being boys 8 and 9
years of age, respectively. Mary, the child
so badly burned, was the third child. Mrs.
Gautelli was so unnerved by the scenes she
passed through that by Dr. Jacob's orders
she will not be acquainted with her hus
band's fatal end until to-day.

Washington, October 29. Miss Mary
Butterworth, daughter of Representative
Butterworth, of Ohio, was to-day married
to Haughwait Howe, of the State Depart
ment. Tne marriage was to have taken place to
morrow. Last Friday Mr. Howe was taken
ill at his rooms at, the Metropolitan Club
chambers, and has since grown rapidly
worse. His mother and stepfather, Dr. and
Mrs. St. Johu-Roosa, of New York, were
sent for, and arrived here last night. Mr.
Howe is suffering from inflammatory rheu
matism and pneumonia. His illness has
been very much aggravated by distress of
mind and disappointment because of his in
ability to keep his wedding engagement to
morrow, and when Miss Butterworth learned
this fact she proposed that all formalities be
dispensed with, and the wedding ceremony
take place at once in Mr. Howe's sick room.
The physicians in attendance held a con
sultation and came to the unanimous de
cision that a wedding would be the best
possible remedy for their patient. The lat
ter received the suggestion with a sigh of re
lief. Accordingly, at 3 o'clock this after
noon an anxious party assembled in the
chamber of Mr. Howe, and the marriage
ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Bart
lett, of the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church. Those who witnessed the cere
mony were Mr. and Mrs. Butterworth, Dr.
and Mrs. St. John Ronsa, Dr. A. F. Ma
gruder, of the navy; W. E. Curtis, the
three brothers of the bride; Miss Ballard, of
Chicago, and the daughter of Attorney

impossibility to get the figures together. at

New Yock, October 25. The new Ameri

strated to-day when the oil-carrying steam
ship Bremerhaven, outward bound, while
coming to anchor off Tompkinsyille, fouled
the cruiser Philadelphia. It was the un
happy custom of the unreconstructed navy
to founder immediately after fouling any
thing, from a spar buoy to a coal barge.
This time the Philadelphia was not even
scratched, but the Bremerhaven got two
dents in her port side.

MORE PAPEE3 ON STANLEl'S TE0DBLE
TET DUJJLAP'S CABLE COMPANT.1
The Hague, October 29. The situation
in Holland is singular beyond parallel.
King William is dying, has practically been
moribund for tbe past few days, and it is
now more than a week since his signature
has been procured to any document. Not
withstanding this condition of affairs and
the fact that State business is at an absolute
standstill, tbe Dutch Parliament was not
convoked until to-day. t
It met at 2 o'clock and after a debate on
the subject passed a resolution by 100 votes
to 5 declaring the King to be incapable of
any longer carrying on th? Government of
the country. Tbe Council of State has been
invested temporarily with regal power. The
illness of the King has developed the fact
that for some time past the royal assent has
been expressed by King William's signa
ture to bills which his mind could not grasp,
and his name was appended to the docu
ments op'" by the Queen holding her hus
band' 1 nnd thus helping him to write.
1 JE king wouldn't die.
Tbe cause of the sitnation which has pre
vailed till now is also singular, and arose
from the ministers being afraid of becoming
a laughing stock. Some months ago the
King seemed to be dying. The doctors in
attendance were positive and unanimous
in their opinion that the death of the sov
ereign was a matter of only a few days. A
council of regency was therefore appointed,
as the heiress presumptive, the Princess
Wilhelmina, is a child only 10 years of age.
Now, the Grand Duchy or Luxembourg re
verts, on the death of King William III.,
to Nassau, and the Grand Duke of Nassau
came over and took upon himself the gov
ernment of the Grand Duchy. Then the
King, to the surprise of everybody, recov
ered his health, sent the Duke of Nassau
home again across the Rhine, and resented
the appointment of the council of the Re
gency. Thus it is that the Ministers, hav
ing been once bitten, are twice shy.
BAD FAMILY RECORD.
Those who know the history of the royal
family of the Netherlands are not surprised
at the news that King William is mortally
deranged as the life he led in his younger
days was a good deal more than mererakish
ness or eccentricity. The same may be said
of his oldest sou, William, Prince of Orange,
the frequenter of the Paris boulevards to
whom the Prince of Wales gave the nick
name "Citron." Prince Alexander, the
King's second son, was an invalid from his
infancy and was well read in the science of
ornithology, but be gave manifest signs of
insanity before his death. The mother of
these two princes was Sophia of Wurtem
burg, who was the granddaughter of George
III., King of England, and she died
in 1877.
King William himself, on his mother's
side, is the grandson of the notorious Paul
I., of Russia, whose madness was
never questioned and a first cousin of the
Grand Duke Nicholas, whose insanity was
recently reported. Paul's father, or his
reputed father, the husband of the great
Catherine II., was also more or less
insane and thus the fatal taint has been
handed down from generation to generation.
STORING AWAY HIS CASH.
Matrimonial Duncan in Trouble for Not
Paying Miss Knowles Promptly.
TBY DCNLAP'S CABLE COMPACT. 1
LONDON, October 29. A singular dis
closure was made in the case of Leslie
Fraser Duncan, of the Matrimonial 2fews.
Dnring his examination in the Bankruptcy
Court he stated that the proceeds of the tale
of his property amounted to 6,000, and this
sale had been concluded since the verdict
given in favor of Miss Evelyn Knowles, who
sued him for breach of promise and got
10,000 damages. This sum ot 6,000 he
declared had been paid to Miss Gordon, an
other lady who had claims on him. Tbe
official receiver ordered a criminal prosecu
tion for fraud under which Dnncan stands
remanded.
On Monday, however, he disclosed the
C.000,wbicti he had placed in tbe Nationnl
Sate Deposit Company, and under the war
rant of the Bankruptcy Conrt a search was
made when a safe marked "Mary Gordon"
was found in which the sum of 4,000 in
notes and 2,000 in gold was found. At the
Bow Street Police Court to-day Duncan
was brought up on a charge of felony under
the Debtors Act, and evidence having been
given of his deposit of the 6,000 he was
committed for trial, bnt admitted to bail in
the sum of 1,000.
COMING SHIPPING STRIKE.
Ship Owners Propose to Do Battle in AU
Points at the Same Time.
TUT DDXLAP'S CABLE COMPACT.
LONDON, October 29. An important
meetinc of the Bristol Channel Committee
of the Shipping Federation was held to-day
at Cardiff. Peter Rowe was President.
There was a very large attendance of the
principal ship owners in Great Britain. G.
A. Laws, the general manager of the Feder
tion, said that his object in coming to Cardiff
was to assist in perfecting arrangements in
view of a possible strike or a lockout. It
was unanimously resolved that upon an
understood signal being given all the ships
in tbe Bristol Channel shonld be laid up
just as they might come in, light or with
cargo. In the latter event a cargo would of
course be discharged.
The Seamen's Union hopes to be able to
fight the shipowners, and is making great
preparations to do so, with some chance of
success, and their project is to fight in sec
tions, that is, confine the struggle to the
point where it may take place, which, as
indications are now, will likely be Cardiff.
But this plan will probably be foiled by the
Executive Federation, for they say when
the signal Is given to lay up' the ships they
will be laid up everywhere.

listened to a paper read by Rev. Lawson
Forster, in reply to that of Archdeacon

ciple of establishing and encouraging mon

GLADSTONE ON PROTECTION.
Some of the Points Mado in His Yesterday's
Speech at Dundee.
By Associated Press..,
Dundee, October 29. Mr. Gladstone
was given the freedom of the city to-day. In
his speech he referred to the McKinley bill,
and said that no foreign tariff could inter
fere seriously with the trade of Great Brit
ain. He advised the manufacturers to al
low America to find out for herself the
evil effects that will follow the adoption
of the high tariff. "Every country,"
he said, "giving greater stringency" of
protection within its borders, though damag
ing us within its own market, gives ns a
freer and uroauer neia in otner markets.
France and Germany threatened retaliation.
England shonld not beled into such suicidal
folly. Cheers. Afavonte idea of many peo
ple in England was a zollverein of the whole
British empire, including the colonies and
dependencies, against all foreign countries.
He doubted much whether the whole Em
pire would consent. There were a host of
objections to it. It would be hard upon
countries pursuing free and open trade with
England to punish them because soma par
ticular country had adapted a restricted sys
tem of commerce.
Continuing, Mr. Gladstone aaid that in
spite of protection, commerce between
America and Great Britain had rapidly in
creased. The experience of the past ought
to dispel alarms that the McKinley law
would effect material injury. The word
"protection" was a misnomer. It ought to
be "oppression." America was the country
that could best afford to try this strange and
astonishing experiment.
STANLEY'S REPLY TO TROUT.
London In an interview published in
the Telegraph, Mr. Stanley was asked
as to Tronp's charges. In reply, Mr.
Stanley asked whether, if they
were "true, his own return would
have cause enthnsiasmand revived hopes in
the rear column as it did. He acensed
Troupof jealousy and ambition, and says the
failure of the officers to protest against
Barttelot'a action, in order to justify them
selves, compelled him to include all four in
the same condemnation. Mr. Stanley adds:
"They wanted all the blame to tall on
Barttelot."
Mr. Stanley says he possesses letters of
16 pages from Troup, containing matter
which it is impossible to publish, and that
Troup refuses to modify it. In reply to the
charge that he sought lame aud riches, Mr.
Stanle,' says that he spent 13,000
pounds on the expedition before the
start was made and distributed
3,000 among tbe members of tbe ex
pedition on their return for the admirable
services they rendered during the African
trip. After describing in a graphic manner
tbe death of Major Barttelot he concluded
by emphatically declaring that he knew
nothing of the alleged immorality in the
rear colnmn and that the trouble was some
thing entirely different

GAS IS iT-EOGED,
It Has Become Too Valuable to
Use as a Medium for the
Boiling of Iron.
NO MORE WASTE ALLOWED.
Natural Fuel Companies Have Dis
covered That There is Much
MORE MONEY IN HOUSE HEATING.
Some Mills Making Preparations to Return
to the ITso of Coal.
THE INCREASING DEMAND FOE GAS
The whole cause of the present shortage of
gas, and the consequent cutting off of the
supply from the puddling furnaces, can be
stated, shortly, to be due to the fact that the
pressure at the wells has decreased and the
consumption has immensely increased. la
other words, the supply of gas is not suf
ficient to meet the increased consumption.
In this condition of affairs the supplying
companies had only two conrses open to
them, namely, to cut off the more wasteful
consumers and give the others what gas
there was going, or to distribute the supply
indiscriminately all around, in a sort of
"catch-as-catch-can" struggle. They have
chosen the first-stated course for the reason
that they find more profit in selling to
domestic users than to iron makers. It has
been a matter of business with the gas com
panies as with other concerns to get the most
money for their goods, and when they found
the demand exceeding the supply ihey very
naturally directed their business to the best
market the private consumer. This is the
sentiment expressed by the managers of tbe
companies and those people who were any
way acquainted with the sitnation.
TOO MUCn OF A DEMAND.
If evidence is wanted of a great falling off
in the pressure of gas caused by the in
creased demands npon the mains it is found
in the fact that so many puddling furnaces
are enforcedly idle. Those mills reported
idle are not so in pursuance of the Philadel
phia Company's notice to them to shut off
the gas from their puddling furnaces, be
cause the order has not gone into effect as
yet. They are idle because they cannot get
gas in sufficient volume to boil their iron.
Tbe number of mills suffering from this
cause yesterday was not so large as reported
in some quarters. Many of them had made
provision for a return to the use ot coal in
different forms. Among tbe latter are
Moorhead Bros. & Co., Philip Nimick &
Co., Clinton Iron and Steel Company,which
has returned to the use of coal, and theSligo.
Of the others supplied by the Philadelphia
Company the upper and lower Union Mills
only made two heats between them yester
day. Jones & Laughlin, who were only ac
commodated by tbe company, having a line
of their own, had to close down at 10:30 A.
M. after making but four beats in the pud
dling department. The firm made a propo
sition to the employes to go to work at 12
o'clock midnight.
WORKMEN WANT A GUARANTEE.
The emuloyes appointed a committee to
notify the firm that they would agree to this
if the firm would guarantee a full heat.
This the company refnsed to do, and said if
tbe men did not agree to the change of
hours the gas fixtures would be pulled ont
of the puddling furnaces and the men com
pelled to use coal.
Not much work was done at Moorhead
McCIeane's, Darlington's, Lloyd, Son &
Co.'s, Lockhart's, Saw Mill Run mill of
Oliver Iron and Steel Company, aud Chess,
Cook & Co. On the other hand Howe,
Brown & Co. reported as having all the gas
they wanted.
Of the mills supplied by the Equitable
Company, Brown & Co., of Duquesne way,
declared they were getting all the gas they
needed, and Shoenberger's were well sup
plied. Other Penn avenu-.- mills, all of
which except those mentioned as being sup
plied by the Philadelphia Company, are
served by the Equitable, and are running as
usnal.
Inquiry for any additional information on
the subject that might be forthcoming was
made at the offices of various gas companies.
At the Philadelphia Company's headquar
ters an official said:
Well, there is no use disguising tho fact that
the pressure has decreased very considerably.
It is not half as strong as it was formerly. Buc
then It mast be remembered that the area of
consumption with the amount has enormously
increased, binco we closed out bar old con
tracts soma time last year wo bavo put in 13,000
meters. Tbe bouses being run up in the oat
skfrti of the city are demanding service, and in
tbe new streets where before wo supplied bnt a
few bouses we now have hundreds in addition.
Wo believe. howeTer. that tne present stoppaee
is only temporary. Regarding any increase in
price. I only know that tho board has taken no
action on tbe matter. I think that exlaltlng
rates will be continued for some time to come.
In addition to its new customers the
Philadelphia Company has some 700 or 899
at Wilmerding.
CUTTING OFF THE MILLS.
A gentleman who is quite well posted as
to the methods ol theFniladelphia Company
said yesterday:
I am satisfied that the company is anxious to
drive all the mills on the tioutbside, and, lor
that matter, all over the city where they are in
terested, back to coal. This is owins to the
fact that it is more profliabla to sell gas for do
mestic uses at .present and prospective prices
than to sell It to the first-named class of con
sumers. The mills have wasted enormous
quantities of fas in the past. This is shown by
tbe fact that of late the Philadelphia and
other companies have been Liking extra pre
cautions to stop it. All stanapines have been
ordered down, and other similar steps taken.
I have seen the workings of the Philadelphia
Company in supply ini; mills and know someth
ing about it. 1 bare seen a pressure ot IS pounds
in a certain mill suddenly and mysteriously
dwindle down to ono pound and knock tbe
mill out, when I bad positive knowledge that
there was Dlonty of gas in the mains. By look
ing at a chart of tho Philadelphia Company's
ditrerent territories, you will And that gates are
located at nearly every street. Is ow, it is tbe
easiest thing in the world to open one gate and
close another, and I know of my own personal
knowledge that this has been done many times.
The Philadelphia Company has plenty of gas
in its mains at tbe present time, and the hill
residents of the Southside aro the only real
sufferers, owmg to tho lack ot supply over
there.
GAS SUPPLY FALLING OFF.
Joseph N. Pew, President of the People's
Company, admits that thesnpply of gas is
becoming shorter. Be said:
There Is no disguising tbe fact any longer
that tbe gas mpply is declining. I sir this bo
cause when I talk to reporters at all 1 believe la
telling the truth. I can also say that we hare
had some complaints about the shortage from
consumers. Of ennrse. I believe that a large
amount or the difficulty is dne to the defects la

as cold weather sets in, and as soon as the peo
