CnitTlX SAYS THE GOVERNOR IS KfGHT
'FROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT..
Uareisbctig, Oct 20. George G.
Hutchinson, Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate,
went to Pittsburg this morning to serve, at
the home of ex-State Treasurer and ex
Cashier of the State Treasury "William Liv
sey, a summons commanding him to appear
a witness before the Senate now investi
gating alleged irregularities in the offices of
the State Treasurer and the Auditor Gen
eral. The Senate's officer had no hope of
finding Mr Livsey at his home, but he in
tended leaving the summons and reporting
bark to the Senate when it convenes at 10
o'clock to-morrow morninj.
Lhsey's evidence, it is firmly believed,
would establish careless methods and neg
lect of duty on the part of the State Treas
urer. The administration is anxious to
submit his opinion in the morning, and will
advise the payment of the warrant
A Point in the Jurisdiction Issue.
Its payment it is thought by many, will
at least by Implication determine the au
thority of" the Senate on the work in hand,
and -will relieve the Kepublicau side of any
further embarrassment on the question of
jurisdiction until it will probably be effect
ually raised later on bj the counsel for the
accused.
The Republicans have abiding faith in the
attorneys for ttie defense. All hope of
acquitting the State officials and of at the
same time satisfying the State that the work
for which the Governor convened the Sen
ate has been faithfully performed is depend
ing, upon the lawyers. The trial of the
accused will be igorously pushed. The Re-
publican Senators will endeavor to outdo
their Democratic brethren in that purpose,
but then the attorneys, acting not only for
Boyer and MeCamant. hut who seem decid
edly solicitous for the best interest of the
majority party, will raise enough legal and
constitutional questions to justify the Sen
ate in returning the old Scotch verdict:
"Guilty, but not proven." On that sort of
a 'erdict the Governor cannot remove.
The Views of Senator Cameron.
Senator Don Cameron came up from his
home this morning and spent a couple of
hours with friends here. He said he fears
no ill effect to bis party from the Senatorial
inquiry, and added: "The matter should
be gone into thoroughly. Our party cannot
nflord to shield the guilty or denounce the
innocent for partisan reasons.
He believes the Republicans are pursuing
the right course, and he is confident they
will carry the State next mouth. He
thinks McKinley will be elected in Ohio,
and that Fasseti will be successful in a
Presidental possibility. In the afternoon
Senators Neei, Keefcr, Bates, Robinson
and Crouse, all Republicans, went to
"Lochiel" and spent an hour visiting Sens
tor Hflmpron "Partv nolicv onlv was dis
cussed, and it was not discussed for publi
cation.
"Wright and Tilden, the Democratic can
didates, were here for an hour at noon to
day. They held a reception at the Bolton
House, where Democrats of high and low
degree gathered to greet them. The Gov
ernor and his Cabinet, all the Democratic
senators and all the visiting correspondents
attended. The candidates this afternoon
continued their itineracy to "Williamsport,
whence they will attend the meeting to
night Xeeb's Idea of the Situation.
This evening Senator Neeb met a per
sonal friend from Pittsburg at the Lochiel
Hotel.
"Well, John, how are yon getting along
with j our whitewashing job?" the friend
asked.
"First rate," the robust Senator replied.
"We have about completed our work on the
Governor and to-morrow we will apply the
first coat to Hensel."
It was reported here to-night that the
citizens of York were preparing a memorial
to the Governor, asking him to issue a
proclamation including their magistrates
with the magistrates of Philadelphia in the
charges of corruption. Governor Pattison
wenfto Philadelphia this afternoon and
could not be seen. His private secretary
had no knowledge of the matter.

t.i-aiht tkat .heir anxiety will within a
tew lays tah tangiDle shape, end upon'the
wiuence r.o in the possession of the At
raey General criminal charges may be in
stituted againt Mr. Livsey.
Charge That May Be Entered.
Tt is allzed that he will be charged with
rither conspiracy , misdemeanor in office or
larceny by bailee. If it is found that the
raissing cashier is in Canada he will be
charged with conspiracy and will be extra
dited. If in the United States he will, if
found, be brought here on one of the other
charges.
The administration believes that if Mr. Liv
Ftv isput upon the witness stand he willtell
the train. They hate confidence in his in
tegrity and they aic of the opinion that Mr.
Livsey is being kept away by others more
caliiable than himself. There is con
siderable srinpatliv for Livsey here. His
former business associates admit the letters
between himself and John Bardsley give
out a dccidtdlj bad odor, but they believe
that others profited more through Bards
icy 's corruption than did Livsey.
iesterday the sergeant-at-arms tele
graphed Mrs. Livsey at Pittsburg asking
for the whereabouts of her husband. In re
sponse Mrs. Livsey telegraphed back, "I
tlon't know."
Bardsley as a Possible Witness.
Tlie Republican Senators entertained them
selves to-day talking overthe effort of the ad
iniimtration to bring Bardsley here as a wit
ness Tncy are united in the opinion that
the convict City Treasurer could not be re
moed from the jurisdiction of the court of
Philadelphia county, and that to bring him
to this city would guarantee his freedom.
Senator Ross was just as much amused as
were the Republicans, but he was tickled
by the density of the other side.
He explained to-night by qnoting from
the Constitution that the power of the Su
preme Court "shall extend over the State,
and the Judges thereof shall, by virtue of
their offices, be Justices of Oyer and Ter
miner and general jail delivery in the sev
eral counties." The Senator says the At
torney General will apply to the Supreme
Court for Bardsley, and that, in the interest
of public justice, he will, if so desired, be
sent to Harrisburg to appear before the
Senate.
The Attorney General's sublime confi
dence in the inquiry more than a little con
fuses the other side. They are now afraid
that he is the one that is loaded and his
-ver moe is looked upon with suspicion.
Hensel Prepared for Emergencies.
Mr. Hensel spent to-day preparing his
case acainst MeCamant, to be ready in case
ihe other side determines to shift about and
call McCamant's case when they meet to
morrow. The Attorney General contends
that the Boyer case is the best one for the
State.
On account of the absence of the Sergeant
at Arnis.the warrant authorized by the Sen
ate yesterday to be drawn upon the State
Treasury in fai or of the Sergeant at Arms,
for expenses to be incurred by bringing wit
nesses to this city, was not presented to the

presented in the morning, and unless 3Ir.

rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TnE CISPATCII.
Marietta, Oct 20. The od pioneer
city baa added a gala day to her political
history. It was intended to have held Ma
jor McKinley's meeting in the large shed at
the Union depot, where seats were provided
for 7,000 people, but owing to the change in
atmosphere and rain it was taken to the
City Ball. A special train brought Major
McKinley and party from Zanesville. lie
was accompanied by members of the Execu
tive Committee, General Grosvenor, who
spoke at Beverly, and others.
There was booming of cannons, playing of
bands and drum corps, display of fireworks,
blowing of tin horns and the like. The
City Hall was packed to its utmost, there
being about 3,000 persons present Major
McKinley was escorted to the hall by the
McKinley Club of Marietta College, the
only college league club in Ohio. It num

The Chairman of the meeting was Colonel
R. C. Nye, of thiscity, a prominent attor
ney and Republican and a comrade of
Major McKinley in the late war. Colonel
Nyeexpressed some happy thoughts in con
nection with Major McKinley's services in
the war and his public services since. Mc
Kinley was introduced and expounded the
doctrine of protective tariff in a clean and
forcible way. His opening remarks were
concerning the importance of electing the
candidate for Senate in this district and
candidate for Legislature from this county,
telling his audience that they had better
elect a Republican Legislature instead
of a Governor. After warning the
voters as to the importance of the Legisla
ture he talked at length on the silver ques
tion and then the tariff. After a thorough
and comprehensive discourse on the Ques
tions he closed with an explanation of the
Australian ballot The meeting was one of
the largest indoor meetings Major McKin
ley has had during the campaign. The hall
in which he spoke was tastefully adorned
with flags and bunting and McKinley's pic
ture in a frame of American tin. The au
dience was composed almost without an ex
ception of voters.

Salina, Kan., Oct 20. Spoto?." The
most inharmonious convention of the
Farmers' Alliance ever held in this State
will begin here to-morrow morning for the
first time in the history oftthe'organization.
There is an open rupture, and the delegates
who have been arriving to-day have come
with sharpened tomahawks, for Frank Mc-
Grath's friends have declared that he would
be re-elected. The charge against him is
that he has been coquetting with the enemy.
McGrath is an ex-Republican, and during
his term of office has tried to keep the Alli
ance down to business and have the third
party organization separate.
One of his friends said this afternoon that
if the Union Labor factions elected the
President and Executive Board the fanners
would desert it,but afternoon trains brought
delegates opposed to him from counties
which had indorsed him in convention. The J
old Union Labor and vidette element, which
has been trying to get control of farmers'
organizations for the past year, has a major
ity of the delegates who so far registered.
The Reform Press Association held a
meeting this afternoon, and it, too, was
found to be opposed to McGrath. McGrath
has temporarily dropped his scheme for
taking the necessary steps to negotiate
loans for meeting the mortgage indebted
ness of the Alliance. The Commercial Con
vention Committee to present the co-operative
schemes are devoting their time to
electioneering for the various candidates.
No opposition will ba made to the sub

Philadelphia, Oct 20. Special.
Ex-Governor Curtin is in the city, and with
his son and daughter is at home at the
Stratford. He left Bellefonte, where he
passed the summer, Monday, and expects to
return by Saturday next. Shortly after
Governor Pattison issued his call upon the
State Senators to meet in extra session a
story became public to the effect that Judge
JohnE. Orvis credited the ex-Governor with
the statement that there was no authority
or constitutional warrant for such a pro
ceeding. This statement ex-Governor Cur
tin denied promptly, and to-day added em
phasis to his denial.
"The Governor's duty was very clear in
the premises." lie said this eveqing, "and
in fact he had no other course to pursue.
The Senate is part of the executive power

I think they will see their dutv on every
contested ste"p in the progress of Investigat
ing prospective malfeasance in office to

"I was the direct instrument of framing
that very provision in the present Constitu

acted," continued the ex-Governor. "There

QUAY IN THE QUAKEB CIIY.
The Object of His Visit Mysterious to Those
Not on the Inside.
Philadelphia, Oct 20. Special.
Parlor F of the Lafayette Hotel was the
scene of Senator Quay's reception to-day,
and fie took possession bright and early.
Mr. Quay's change of hotels was quite in
convenient as well as mystifying to the
city politicians. A phalanx covered the
Continental corridors by noon in expecta
tion of the usual call from above, but none
came. Mr. Quay's visit is a sealed book.
He refused to talk.
There were few callers to Mr. Quay's con
ference, but those who came remained quite
a length of time. Chairman "Watres was an
early bird. He was the first on the list and
had his talk alone. "When he left the parlor
all he said was: "It was only a private
matter really nothing of importance, that
is of importance to know just now." City
Chairman Porter sent up his card at noon.
The city Chairman went away with a rosy
flush on his face and never even looked at
his questioners. Mr. Quay dined with Mr.
Martin. He took the St Louis express
west this evening at 9:30 o'clock for Beaver.
CAMPBELL SEEENADED.
He Touches Upon State Issues in Two Ad
dresses to Ohio People.
Bellefontaine, Oct 20. Special
Governor Campbell addressed two large
meetings in this town to-night The first
was at the Opera House, and from there he
went to the Court House, where an over
flow meeting was held. "When his train
passed through Springfield there was a stop
of half an hour, and he was tendered a sere
nade. The employes of the big shops were
just leaving their daily toil, and about 2,000
gathered in front of the hotel balcony from
which he spoke. He talked for about ten
minutes, and then proceeded to this place.
He was accompanied by ex-Governor Mc
Creary, of Kentucky, who spoke at the
Court House until the arrival of the Gov
ernor. Governor Campbell strained his
voice at Cincinnati last night, and was quite
hoarse to-night He made short speeches
at both places, and at the Opera House
touched on State issues. He said the last
Democratic Assembly was the best the
State ever had, and quoted Republican
members of that body toprove his assertion.
Hon. W. D. Bynum addressed a meeting
here this afternoon.
rrROM A STAFF CORRESPOIDENT.l
"Washington-, Oct. 20. Inland iron and
steel manufacturers and shipbuilders of the
country will take a lively interest in the
fact officially announced to-day that a con
tract for the construction of a torpedo boat
has been let to the Dubuque Iron "Works,
of Iowa. This is the first instance in which
the Government has made such a contract
with an inland firm, and the new departure
is specially important to Pittsburg, which
is admitted to have unrivaled facilities for
this work.
In the present instance the bid of the
Iowa firm was simply a venture and was
the only one from an inland firm. It was
the lowest and the parties were responsible,
and the contract was awarded accordingly.
Other inland firms capable of engaging in
such construction have not realized the
possibility of securing such contracts, and
in fact it was rather the low bid of the
Iowa firm than any other reason that in
duced the Navy Department to try the ex
periment of building small vessels where
all the material could be got together with
the least expense.
Secretary Tracy said to-day that while the
letting of this contract was a departure it
was so simply because the Dubuque firm
were the lowest bidders. Theirs was the
only bid from an inland firm for the con
struction and was much the lowest It was not
the first time, however, that a bid had been
made by an inland firm. A St Louis firm
had bid years ago for the construction of the
Dolphin, one of the coast steamers, but had
not secured the contract There is no rea
son why Pittsburg should not secure the
building of vessels provided the bids were
low enough and the water high enough to
float the vessel to the sea after its construction.

This discipline is especially felt bv the

NEW LYNCHING ETHICS.
Islanders Complain That tho Sugar Bounty

Reciprocity Treaty Would Meet With
Approval in the Ocean Kingdom.
"Washington, Oct. 20. Special Hon.
Archibald S. Cleghorn, father of Princess
Victoria Kaiulani, heiress apparent of the
Hawaiian Kingdom, is at the Arlington
Hotel. Mr. Cleghorn, who is the Collector
General of Customs for the Kingdom, is on
his way home from England where his
daughter, a girl of 16, is now at school. He
stopped in "Washington to see President
Harrison and the Hawaiian Minister, Mr.
Carter. He talked very freely to-night on
the state of affairs in the islands and the re
lations between his Government and that of
Jhe United States. In the first place Mr.
Cleghorn characterized as false and without
fonndation the stories that have been circu
lated in this country of late abont the al
leged schemes of England to get control of
the islands and his own connection with
them.
He said: "It is the desire of our people
that we remain a free and independent
country. If however, it should ever become
necessary for us to unite with any other
nation we would rather see inplace of the
Hawaiian flag that of the United States,
than that of any other country. Our prin
cipal foreign relations are with the United
mates and the united Slates nas greater in
terests in Hawaii than any other nation.
"We have nothing to gain from any other
nation and no proposition looking to giv
ing any other nation a predominating in
fluence in the islands would be entertained
for a moment"
Mr. Cleghorn went on to say that most of
the present talk in the islands about annex
ation was due to the fact that the sugar
planters had lost large amounts of money
by the operation of the McKinley bill,
which had been putting a bounty on Ameri
can sugars. This had reduced the price of
that staple product of Hawaii to such an
extent that the loss of the planters for this
year will amount to 55,000,000. Mr. Cleg
horn thought that a reciprocity treatv be
tween the United States and Hawaii pro
viding for the tree exchange of aH products,
except spirits and qertain luxuries, would
meet with general approval.

The greatest amount of railway .ailding
took place in the years 1882, 1883 and 1884.
The railways in the group of States under
consideration probably employ a larger
number of men per mile of line than those
in any other part of the United States. The
bulletin refers to the transportation traffic
of the roads, and says: "A slight consider
ation of these figures show that there has
been a tendency toward the increase of long
haul freight, which is doubtless due to the
increased importance of New York and
Philadelphia and Baltimore as cities of ex
port. In passenger tramc the movement
has been in the opposite direction that is
to say, the rate of increase for passengers
carried is more than the rate of increase of
passengers carried one mile."
It appears that there has been an increase
in earnings from freight service per mile of
line from 59,779 76 in 1880 to $10,270 87 in
1889, or a total increase of $491 lL The
earnings from passenger service per mile of
line was in loou $3,iu us ana inT889 it was
54,041 22, or an increase of 5934 14, The
snm of the interest, rentals and dividends
paid during the last ten years amounts to
5812,387,016 12, which is equal to an average
of 54,802 03 per mile of line for anyone
year.

General noward Speaks of Their Necessity
for Protection.
"Washington, Oct. 20. Special Gen
eral O. O. Howard, in his annual report as
Commander of the Department of the
East, devotes considerable space to a discus
sion of the problem of the defense of the
Atlantio coast. Among other things, Gen
eral Howard says: "Besides our own self
protection, we have duties to humanity to
perform in seeing that a civilized Govern
ment is maintained in certain "West Indian
islands, or, if not, it is our duty to stand
aside and give up the principles of the
Monroe doctrine, and permit European
powers to do what is necessary. No Amer
ican desires the latter.
""We also have the investments of our
people in countries with unstable govern
ments to guard from injury. To do this we
should be as strong in the neighboring seas
ss any other powever, even as well prepared
ss England. To be strong in a military way
we need not only the ships and coaling sta
tions, but fortified harbors at convenient in-
tervals along our entire coast. In the
Atlantic, south of Hampton Roads, we are
actually defenseless. There are too many
cities on this part of the coast to expect us to
fortify them all, but as far South as possible
we should fortify a good harbor, the deepest
we can find, to be a refuge for commerce en
dangered and to constitute a n&val coaling
and repair station."
Their Contents to Be Redeemed by the
Treasury Department
"Washington, Oct 20. Five broken,
battered and blistered safes filled with the
charred remains of an unknown quantity of
bonds and money were received at the
Treasury Department to-day for examina
tion and the redemption of such of their
contents as may be identified. They are
relics of the recent railroad wreck and con
sequent fire near Mingo Junction, O.
The exact amount of money in the safes is
unknown, as the waybills of the transporta
tion company were lost at the time, but it is
known to be very large. During the after
noon 5200,000 in bonds, belonging to the
Lafayette National Bank of Cincinnati,
were taken from one of the safes. They
were only slightly burned, and will be re
deemed. Other contents of the safes will
undoubtedly be identified and made good,
but much of the currency has entirely lost
its original character, and cannot, therefore,
be replaced.

Allan Steamers Will Not Stop at Intermedi
ate Points Hereafter.
POBTLAKD, Me., Oct 20. Special It
is officially announced to-day that the Allan
line of ocean steamers will make the port of
Portland from Liverpool without the inter
mediate stop at Halifax, which has been the
custom in years past. This will make Port
land the distributing point for all European
passengers and freight brought by the Allan,
the Dominion and the Beaver lines, and
make the city a terminal point for all in
stead of a port of call for the largest and
principal passenger line. Passengers for the
Provinces and Northern Maine will be sent
east from Portland instead of west from
Halifax, and passengers from the "West can
with more certainty be secured by the Grand
Trunk for its own line.
TSPZClAl. TXLEOBAH TO THE DISPATCH.l
Stockton, Cal., Oct 2L Dr. Marvin
redeemed his promise to-day and put Sunol
over the kite-shaped track, beating the best
time of Maud S by a clean half second.
Heavy dark clouds blew up in the west last
evening, and for a time it looked as if the
judges of the record meeting would have to
fly a blue signal flag from their stand to-day
and declare events offi The barometer,
however, was found to be rising slowly, not
withstanding the ill omen in the western
sky, and this indication of fair weather
allayed somewhat fears that it would rain.
The morning opened bright and sunny,
with very little wind blowing. At 11
o'clock the temperature was 76 degrees and
there was a light breeze stirring. Marvin
left his hotel at 6:30 o'clock for the track.
He said he had made up his mind not to
speed Sunol unless all conditions were
favorable even if he got no show against
time this season.
A Change in the Breeze.
All through the afternoon it looked bad,
but about G o'clock the wind died down and
only a gentle breeze was felt. The track
was in fine condition and Marvin decided
that conditions could never be more favor
able. He had the mare rubbed down care
fully, and when she came out she looked
less nervous than usual.
None of the usual trials were needed, for
on the first attempt Marvin nodded, and
she was off. The mare made great time,
going the first quarter in 31 seconds.
Nothing could exceed the beauty of her
pace. She moved liked a machine, and
Marvin sat'like a statue.
The same even, beautiful pace was main
tained to the half, which all timers marked
at 1:04 flat "When this was announced it
looked bright for breaking the record. At
the half a running mate was waiting for
Sunol, and his presence seemed to help the
mare. JIarvin urged her, and she went
over the third quarter in superb style, mak
ing the three-quarters in 1:37.
The Crowd Became Enthusiastic
As many in the crowd were timing her,
it got around that the mare would probably
beat the world's record, and no race track
probably ever saw a more exciting crowd,
even when hundreds of thousands of dollars
were at stake. All the prominent horse
men in the State were present and it was a
magnificent sight as Sunol swept into the
last quarter and came down lite wind.
The runner had to pull out to keep pace
-with the mare's flying feet, and Sunol
passed under the wire in 2:08 There
could be no question of time, as six expert
timekeepers tallied to a dot, and -there was
no variation among many horsemen present,
who also kept time. To say that the crowd
was enthusiastic was to put it mildly. They
would have taken Marvin up bodily and
carried him to the stable, but he kept his
seat and merely acknowledged his exploit
by bowing.
Horsemen here will probably want to see
Sunol speeded on an old-fashioned track to
see what she can do, but this record must
Btand if Allerton's is allowed. The Stock
ton track is actually two feet longer than a
mile, so there can be no claim that Sunol
did not cover the distance.

As a yearliDg no effort was made to give
Sunol a record, but she obtained the one
two, three and four-year-old records 2.18,
2:10 and 2:10 and nowsho has secured
the five-year old record i2flSi), and stands
as the fastest trotter tho world knows of.
Until 1 o'clock to-day Maud S held the high
est record, 2.ft which she made at Cleve
land in 1SS3.
Sunol is by Electioneer ont of Waxana.and
Waxana was by General Benton out of
Waxy.a thoroughbred maro by Lexington out
of Gray Eagle. Electioneer was by liambie
tonian out of Green Mountain Maid; she by
Henry Clay, xnis is ner peaigree, as given
by Senator Stanford, her breeder. But Mr.
Wallace, of "the trotting register,"- claims
that her grand dam, Waxy, was not by Lex
ington out of Gray Eagle. Mr. Wallaco
claims that Waxy was not a
racing-bred mare, although ho concedes
that she piobably had racing blood
and it is undisputed that she was the dam of
tne good race maro Alpha, the best of the
get of imported Hercules. Sunol'ssire, Elec
tioneer, w as bred at Stony Ford, N. Y., and
General Benton, the sire of her dam, was
also bred in this State. But whatever her
grandsire was, Sunol is to-day the
fastest trotter of the world, and an
animal of which her breeder (Senator
I.eUnd Stanford), her trainer (Charles
llai'vin) and her owner, Robert Bonner,
have much reason to be proud. Sunol
has been a wonder always. Ilis reduction
or the record for 2-year-olds from Wildflow
er's 2-21, which had stood for six years, to
2:13 was something that actually startled the
conventional hoisemen, and gave new hopes
to the optimists looking forward to the two
minute record.
