Habkisbtjbg, Sept. a The Democratic
plate went through the convention to-day
without a crack. Indeed, after coming-out of

Whether Mr. Harrity is a boss, ahrewd
political manipulator or a leader who
represents the people, his work was well
one. He was up with the.lark this morn

the greatest ovation. Some thought Cleve

applause, I thiuk the (Pernor was slightly
in thi lead. There was some discussion
over the proposed Constitutional Conven

necessary, but a plank was finally adopted
which partially indorses the movement
When Chairman Kerr called the conven
tion to order this morning, the building was
packed from top to bottom. The 461 dele
gates uk up most of the seats in the par
quet, while the two galleries were jammed
with vkUors. It was a great showing for
an off j ear, and Captain Skinner was prob
ably jrstificd when he said in his speech
that it was the greatest Democratic gather

Large' Than Two Weeks Ago.
The crcwd ia the big auditorium was
much larger than the one in attendance at
the Republican Convention, and this made
the l-ders happy. H. Willis Bland, of
Rcadi :, was elected Temporary Chairman.
Sir. Bund is not much of nn orator, but he
bud prepared a nice speech that will read

The applause was deafening at the men

Paulson people were dazed. Later on Mr.
Bland lwded the Governor as peerless
among the chief executives of the State.
"Never had the people a more abiding faith

the opportunity for the Pattison shouters,
and they made the Opera House ring with

Mr. B.and denounced the Republicans in

tpeech accepting the nomination, capped
the climax when he said:"OurpUufonni3 the
Ten Commandments, and that portlon-or it
which sa3s Thou shalt not steal.'" This
dictum was received with uproarious ap
plause. Patrick Foley was appointed chairman of
the committee to select delegates at large
for the Constitutional Convention. The Al
Icgberj delegation, representing 33 votes,
occupied prominent places in the front

New Yobk, Sept 3. Edward & Lacey,
Comptroller of the Curreney, came from
"Washington last Saturday and was at the
Sub-Treasury. Pew persons knew he was
in town, and not until to-day was the pur
pose of his visit made known. It had to
do with the Western .National Bank, and
brought out a curious story about Ttussel B.
Harrison, son of the President of the United
States. This story, as it was authentically
told to-day, dates back a few months.
Young Mr. Harrison wanted to borrow
money, and he called on General Louis
Fitzgerald, President of the Mercantile
Trust Company, in the Equitable Building.
He offered General Fitzgerald certain col
lateral, consisting partly of Western rail
road securities, for the loan he wanted.
The general looked over the securities
and decided not to make the loan. This
did not please young Mr. Harrison. Two
days later he called again on President
Fitzgerald, and they had a conversation,
part of which was substantially like this:
AX ErtEKESTDfG CONVEBSAtlOIT.
Mr. Harrison You are a director in ther
Western National Bank, General?
General Fitzgerald Yes.
Mr. Harrison Dont you know that the
Western National Bank is Issuing silver
certificates contrarv to law?
General Fitzgerald I am only a director
in tne Dang, ana cannot speas tor tna
bank. t
Mr. Harrison Wejl, all that I can say to
you is tha; the bankwould not be permitted
to do it if attention were called to the fact.
Mr. Harrison did not obtain the loan from
the Mercantile Trust Company. How he
came to know that the Western National
silver certificate business was a matter
which the Comptroller of tho Currency had
at that time under consideration, who can
tellt Nobody else in New York knew
of it but President Brayton Ives,
of the Western National, and he did
not prime young 3Ir. Harrison. It was
learned to day that in Fobruary last the
comptroller began an investigation of a
charge that the Western National Bank was
issuingcertificatescontrary to the provisions
of tlio oanklng act. This act forbids any
National Bank from guaranteeing the trans
actions of any outside corporation or of any
individual. It can guarantee its own trans
actions only. The complaint against the
bank was in effect that it was issuing silver
certificates against bullion which was de-
Bosited In the vaults of the Mercantile Safe
eposit Company, also in the Equitable
building. So secretly ha the investigation
been conducted that the particulars did not
come out until to-day.

posed the Greely party and of whom only a
fraction were saved from perishing? Now

gheny Solid for tho Nominees.
HARgrsmn.O) Sept. a -SpccMC In the
afternoon Captain George W. Skinner was
elected Permanent Chairman. The Captain
is on enthusiastic speaker and he elicited
cheer alter cheer-from the boys during his
address. He said the old soldier-racket was
being formed to obscure the vital living is
sues of the fight He had served four years
in the army and no man respected the vete
rans more than he. The Captain added that
a military training at West Point did not
fit a man to discharge the duties of an im
portant office. like Auditor General. He
said it grieved him to see the old soldiers
used by designing politicians and schemers.
He hoped tha convention would speak in
no uncertain terms abont the Constitutional
Convention, but would give it a direct in
dorsement He advised the delegates that only State
issues should prevail in the campaign. It
would b foolish to venture into the hazard
ous field of National politics. The Captain
roasted the Republicans for their maladmin
istration of State funds. He concluded by
hoping that ex-Congressman W. L. Scott
would recover from his serious illness.
This part of the speech was received in
sad silence. Subseauentlv a resolution was
passed by the convention, offering its sin
cere sympatny to tne aying .trie statesman
and Ills family. It was prayed that Air.
Scott would fully recover and continue his
usciuinesa.to tne party ana country.
Harrity as a Peacemaker.
The Committee on Credentials reported
contests in Carbon and Lackawanna coun
ties. The contestants were declared in the
wrong- and the seated delegates were per
mitted to remain. Mr. Harrity, it is said,
conciliated tho kickers to his own and their
satisfaction. Mr. Stenger, from Philadel
phia, thought it was beneath his dignity to
present his name and have it knocked about
In the committee He regarded it as too
small a matter. The Harrity-Hensel combi
nation was reported as elated over this de
cision of Pattison's former Secretarv of the
Commonwealth. The plank putting Quay on
the rack was loudly applauded in the con
vention. The time for nominating candidates soon
arrived. Representative Sitter, of Lycom
ing, who had been switched on the track,
named Bobert E. Wright for Auditor Gen
eral in an eloquent speech. Sitter is a
coming Democrat in Pennsylvania. Fitz
simmons, of Lackawanna, seconded the
nomination. George Tillo, of Lancaster,
placed the name of McSparren before the
convention. He said he was a farmer de
facto, and in full sympathy and accord with
the Grangers.
Then came the sensation of the conven-
Kon A tall, broad shouldered man with
acgy hair commenced speaking in the
rear of the house. His voice was shrill and
couldn't be heard very far from him. There
were cries, of "louder," and the big fellow
strode to the front of the stage and stood on
a box.
An Attack on Lawyers.
It was D. C DeWitt, of Bradford, and this
was his first State Convention. He began in
a round-about sort of way, but soon landed
right side up in a fierce attack on lawyers.
It was aimed at Wright, of course Mr. De
Witt had an odd way of stating a proposi
tion, and He soon had the crowd laughing
heartily. He stirred up great enthusiasm In
his plea for the farmer, and the gallery ap
plauded him to the echo.
He said when u lawyer made a fee of $3,
some poor man was out that much Tho
farmer is a producer. Jay Gould's road runB
through carts of New York and Bradford
County. "In Kew Tork it is taxed $400 per
mile for road purposes: in Pennsylvania the
company doesn't pay a cent. The farriers
were tired of such an unequal division of
public burdens. He insisted that the farm
ers must be heard this fall if the ticket
would win, and lor this reason he seconded
the nomination of McSparren.
Ills speech took so well that it was feared
the convention would be stampeded to the
Lancaster man. As soon as De Witt bad
finished, Jndge Harvey.1-of Lackawanna,
was on his feet. He defeiraed the profession
of the law and said it was one of the most
honorable on the list If such a state of
affairs as Mr. De Witt described existed in
Bradford county it had no being in Lehigh
county. The Judge is a polished talker and
he soon turned the tide with a little gentle
tatlre in Wright's favor.
Pot Toley Started It
The Allcntown candidate had a walkover.
Out of 452 votes cast he had 372 and Mc
Sparren 80. The ballots came frm all parts

THE QUESTION AT ISSUE.
Mr. Lacey and President Ives have had
frequent conferences both in New Tork and
Washington, and theqe have been many
communications by-mall. Tno people who
made the chargcto-the Comptroller insisted
that- thebankwas guaranteeing the payment
of these silver certificates when it had no
control over the bullion against which the
certificates were issued. The bank put in
its defensovaealnst thiC charore. and bv its
.friends ft is belloved that the defense is
sound and tfiat comptroller Lacey will
eventually give a decision favorable to the
bank.
The defense was that while the bullion was
deposited in the vaults of the Mercantile
Safe Deposit Company the vaults were
leased, by the bank and were In charge of tha
bank's employes. The safe deposit company
also has a representative in thev vaults, but
no bullion is delivered into them or taken
out of them without the presence of ropre-
eemutiveg oi mo uanjt as wen as ox vne sale
deposit company. The safe deposit company
takes half of the profit for the storage of
the bullion, and that is all the interest it has
in the bullion
The bank maintains that the bullion is
under its control, and that it is in no way
guaranteeing the business of another con?
corn.

the propositions: Was tbe will written, as
we claim, at the. homo of James Davis in

the so-called Knight willT Their theory is
that in 1890 J. P. Eddy, an illiterate man,con

sits down to write. Not satisfied with saying
this will was a forgery, they claim that 'it'
was done away with by the Knight will."

rsraCMX, TELZOaAK TO TnB.DlSPATCH.J
NEW Tore, Sept 3. That daring young
plunger, George E. Smith, familiarly known
as "Pittsburg Phil," has in the past
five or six years given the betting ring
many a lively old shaking up. But the
Sapphire stakes at Sheepshead Bay fnr-nished-him
with an opportunity to surpass
all previous records on this continent in the,
winning line. He placed $10,000 on his
own colt, King Cadmus, in the city and
out-of-townpoolrooms and with the 90 and
odd bookmakers doing business at the track
and when Taral landed the game little colt
winner by a short head. George Smith was
about (100,000 richer than before the race.
The winnings of various turf plungers on
different occasions have been greatly ex
aggerated, cut -FittaDurg ffhix really won in
the vicinity of the amount named on King
Cadmus, lie sought the colt at the Bel
mont sale last winter for $4,000, and told
his friends that he had secured a bargain.
He did not hurry the youngster, who, by
the way, is a full brother to King Crab, and
sept the colt to Saratoga in charge of his
brother Will, who trains Phil's horses.
"WATTING AS OPPORTUNITY.
At the Springs he ran twice, being third
once and unplaced the other time. When
he came to Morris Park King Cadmus
showed speed in his races, but failed
to catch the judge's eye. Polks
thought,Smith was crazy when he paid 250
ror the unvueee of running nis handsome
colt in the Futurity, but they probably did
not know that the young man bad a pot of
money on King Cadmus to run as good as
third for that great event Although he
was unplaced in the $75,000 prize Phil did
not despair, and in looking over the pro
gramme he came to the conclusion that the
Sapphire stakes, in which maidens had an
allowance of seven pounds, would about
suit King Cadmus.
The shrewd young Pennsylvania!! who
was earning about $10 a week in his native
city about eight years ago sen&money to
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Buffalo. Boston and other cities to be nlaced
;ln the poolrooms at those points. This
morning ne puc nis money in tne local pool
rooms, getting as good as SO to 1 for some of
it At the track when the betting opened
it was 20 and 25 tq Land Phil went around
the ring offering everybody $100 each wnv.
iKe"xnompsongraDDea7i.uuuot it atiz.oou,
and as a consequence Mr. Thompson will
not make a book for some few days. Jack
McDonald, Jimmy Mahoney, Henry Stede
ker, L. O. Appleby and other bookmakers
took goodly lumps of Phil's money also.
THE PAVOBTTES BEATEK.
Lew Weir and Gnllndo were the most
strongly supported of the starters for the
raoe, but the former was badly beaten a
quarter of a mile from home, Fred Taral,
who had thomount on King Cadmus, was on
the extreme outside and the hearts of the'
bookmakers rose in their throats as the
hustling young rider-shot to the front with
Klmr Cadmus. Lewis foIlowlmrwithOnllndn.
Lewis rode Gn)mdo desperately, and he had,
tue assistance ox me uuo&maaera, wno wero
on the lawn to see the race run.
Taral had been promised something hand
some if he won, and the Western lad lifted
the game King Cadmus over the. line first by
a few Inches. George Smith-saw tho race
from the grand stand. Not an eye lash
quivered nor a muscle moved dnring the
stirring finish, and when his colt's number
was hoisted he walked auletlv to the
'paddock to see him cooled out.
v ill smith, wno Det ?iuu straight at 20 to 1.
was quite nervous and excited, and said
when "George walkedjup: "Well. I don't
care whether wo win another race this
year."
KNEW HB HAD A GOOD THING.
Phil, who had all his pockets filled with
winning tickets, naturally felt in an amiable
mood, and said: "I knew I had a good colt '
and made up my mind to follow him. If he
didn't win to-day he would on some future
occasion, and the odds were bound to bo long
enough to let me out"
George E. Smith is a shining example of
what close study and attention to every de
tail in any business will do for a man. He
gives as much attention to the study of race
horses, their form in all kinds of tracks, and
their general showing in races as anv man
engaged In Wall street does to the broker
age business. Starting with nothing eight
years ago he has won $230,000 by following
the turf. Lust fall he lost very heavily, and
endeavored to get even by playing the Gut
tenburg races. He found that game too
much lor him, and quit in the spring $60,000
poorer than when he began.
This year he has more than held his own,
although he did not have any great streak of
luck prior to to-day. He stood to win $40,000
on his own horse Buddhist when Tristan
beat him a nose last Bpring in a desperate
finish.

thinks they were inspired by an employe or
former employe who ws incited by animus
against the company to make assertions, the
more damaging because there wasjustasus
plcion of truth about them.
"I admit there has been a decline," he
said, "in both the Grapevllle and Murray
vine fields; that is why we are opening up
new territory. Two new fields have been
developed, one at Elizabeth and one in the
McGahey field, since the two 15-inch lines

The following special telegram was re
ceived from the NewTork bureau of The

fact of the consolidation is not news to Pitts

part of the street heard with great interest
to-day of the completion of arrangements
for the consolidation of some of the biggest
pipe manufacturing concerns in the country
into one company. The new corporation,
to be known as the National Tube Works
Company, bears the name of one of the old
companies which forms a part of it
It is a far bigger company than the one
whose name it has inherited, however, and
it begins its existence with a capital of 511,
500,000. The new company represents
about SO per cent of the country's produc
tion in its line. It holds the plant formerly
the property of the old National Company,
that of the Republic Iron Works, that of
the llonongahela Furnace Company, and
that of the Boston Iron and Steel Company.
Its business covers the manufacture and sale
of wrought iron pipes, tubes, muck bar,
blooms, plates, tern plates, eta Of its
capital, one-half, or 55,750,000, is 7 per cent
preferred cumulative stock and the other
half is common stock.

In addition to this a 16-inch lino is

where four wells have already been secured
showing a minute pressure of 460 pounds
and a rock pressure of 700 pounds. Tbe

350 pounds per mlnnte and a
rock pressure of 650 pounds. With
regard to the pressure in the pipes, there is
a good deal of public misapprehension as to
what it signifies. If one half pound can be
maintained on the city line a full supply is
insured,because, lnstead.of using small pipes
at high pressure, large mains at low pres
sure are employed. I have no "hesitation in
saying that the Philadelphia Company will
hafnllveouinned to suhdIv iras dnrimrlha
winter, and fbellevo that any unprejudiced
person inquiring into tbe facts will bo of
the same opinion.
"Tho company," concluded General Man
ager Browne, "is not desirous of concealing
anything. It is willing to give its share
holders information at all times. It would
have been much better it the person who
prepared tho article I refer to bad first
called at this office and ascertained the facts
before publishing cuch denunciatory state
ments. It is also charged that the company
would take the opportunity of midwinter,
with tbe customers unable to get coal, to
raise the price- This would not be done.
Any change made would require the sanc
tion of the directory, and the names of the
gentlemen on the board are, I think, a guar
antee to tne puDiia mac no auvantage will
be taken."
Captain Bigger, of the manufacturer's de
partment, said he was satisfied there would

some factories for gas by the meter, at tbe
usual rate of 15 cents. Gas would be taken
off boilers, as they were very wasteful, but

obtain it

THF LOCATION OP THE STOCK.
The old National Company has about
9,000,000 of the stock of .the new corpora
tion, and at the time of the consolidation
its shares were quoted at about 280. The
stock of the other companies also ranged
above par. The old National is said to
have paid 12 per cent dividends, and the
other companies were good for at least 6 per
cent The National has been the command
ing factor in the negotiations, and the
organization of a new corporation under th a
same name practically amounts to a con
solidation with it of the other concerns
which have gone into tbe deal.
In the list of officers of the new company
the old National alone Is represented. Tho
President is Edward W. Converse. Of Bos
ton. David W. Hitchcock Is Vice President
and Wnilam S. Eaton is Treasurer. The
Secretary is P. W. French. Edmund C. Con
verse, a son of the late James Converse, one
of the founders of the old National Com
pany, is general manager. He will have his
headquarters in this city. .Like the Presi
dent tae-otber officers are Boston men. The
gentlemen Just named makeup the Board
of Dlrectors,along with the following: Hor
ace Crosby, who represents 'the Republic
Iron Works, of Pittsburg; W. J. Curtis, of
the law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, of this
city; J. H. Flagler and F. E. Sweetser. The
last named is a Boston capitalist, who was
largely Interested in tbe companies which
have consolidatedin the new concern.
A NEW JEESET CORPORATION.
The-work-of uniting the old companies has
"been carried on very quietly, and up to to
day very little was known of it even in the
Iron trade. The consolidated company is in
corporated under the laws of the State, of
New Jersey. The formal incorporation took
place two or three weeks ago. When the
papers were filed the capitalization was put
at $10,000, but it was immediately increased
to its presont figure, $11,500,000. The $10,000
originally named was not a large enough
sum to attract much attention. The public
was not asked to subscribe for any of .the
stock, and none of it has been offered for
sale.
Since the incorporation papers were filed
various details of the consolidation have
been arranged. Wm. N. Cromwril, of Sulli
van & Cromwell, is counsel to tbe company,
and be hat been in Boston for several days
attending tbe carrying ontof the arrange
ments. He came back to New York this
afternoon, the work of which he had charge
having been successfully accomplished. The I
consolidation is to be the biggest thing in
the iron trade that has happened for years,
and for the amount of capital invested and
the amcunt of business in Its bands, the new
company has few rivals in kindred branches
of Industry.
OBJECTS OF THE MOVE.
Its promoters explain that its object Is to
Concentrate the operations of the companies
which have been brought together and to
t seek economies in administration. The old
National Company was organized about 25
years ago. Among its founders were James
Converse and Messrs. Eaton and Hitchcock.
It owned huge works in McKeesport, In
which it employed about 10,000 men, and it
had the largest rolling mill in the world.
The other concerns in the consolidation
were yonnger and smaller, but did a prosper
ous business. As above stated, the new com
nany controls about 50 per cent of the pipe
production in this country. Some of the con
cerns now outside of the company are said
to be bv no means nnfricndlv to the idea of a
r union "with It. Among the most important
of tbe outsiders are the American Tnbe
Works, Morris, Tasker & Co., of New York,
and Spang, Chalfant Co., of Pittsburg.

Their Dilatory Proceedings Wearing Out

Sai Fkaxcisco, Sept 'a The steamship
Gaelio arrived to-day, 2? days from Hong

of the foreign population is well nigh worn
out by the tardiness shown by tbe Chinese
officials in punishing the perpetrators of the
Wu Suh outrages. A second batch of
offenders, eight in number, has been con
victed of murder, assault and pillage, and
sentences of penal servitude for lite, banish
ment for life and branding on the face or
back have been imposed.
It is said tbat one of the prominent liter
ary officials of Shanghai was implicated in
the .issue of incendiary and malicious
placards which caused the uprising asainst
- tbe foreigners. Tbe corresoondent says the
prime incentive to tbe riots at wu Suh, as
elsewhere, were placards against foreigners
which had been scattered broadcast. These
had been frequently brought to the atten
tion of the authorities prior to the rioting,
but at no time has any one been pan&hed
for issuing them. On July SO, Admiral Belk
napt commanding the American squadron,

nouncing that trouble was feared at tbat

there. One of the American cruisers was at
