ashingtox. 1). C. Jan. S. J
In these days of approaching conventions
no thread is so slender that .the puhlic will
not hang upon it an important inference,
especially if some big politician is at the
ether end of the thread. It is perfectly
natural that Gorman and Hill should con
sort together so soon as the latter entered
the Senate
They arc the two great manipulators of
the Democratic party. Xo other one man
Sn the party has liad so close an acquaint
ance with the mere process of manipulation
as either of them, and as twin manipulators
their counterparts can only be found by
crossing over the Republican line. There
fore it is as natural that they should engage
in the closest intimacy as for the Siamese
twins to sleep together. Yet the fact that they
ihonld have held a long conferenoe yester
day, and another this morning, is heralded
as certain proof that they are fixing up the
Presidental nomination for Gorman.
Hill's Ambition to Name the President.
It is assured that Hill knows that though
be can dffeat the pbjecof his cordial ani
mosity, Cleveland, he cannot effect his own
nomination. The thing nest best is to ally
himself with the person who will be nomi
nated. In this position he can seek the
man, can make his own selection, and un
less there be a tidal wave of Clevelandism he
Mill go near to nominating whomsoever he
may choose.
"While matters have hardly gone so far,
and while these over-written conferences
doubtless have nothing more in them than a
consideration of party policy and a place
and time for holding the convention, there
is nothing more natural than that Boss Hill
thould seek out Boss Gorman as his candi
date. Gorman has been adept in stealing
offices and Hill has neatly bagged a major
ity of a State Senate, and through
that act will probably gobble the
State for his party next fall.
Gorman's Methods In Maryland.
It is within five years that Gorman's
methods ia Maryland politics almost ex
cited a revolutionary uprising. His lieuten
ants had even gone so tar as to murder those
who stood in their way, and his thugs and
policemen stood at the polls and beat and
intimidated any who opposed them.
Thieves, murderers, gamblers, men of the
worst elements and of the most desperate
character, were put into office. Upright
and clean people protected in vain. Balti
more was dominated from, the slums, and
Maryland was controlled through Balti
more. Then came. a revolutionary movement
which at one time threatened the over
throw of the whole disreputable crew. Busi
ness and professional men oi the highest
character and prominence led a Democratic
revolt. The opposition contained names
which, from the very fact that they were
arrayed on the other side, should have
made Gorman retire from the field in shame.
A fusion ticket of Ik-publicans and Inde
pendent Democrats was nominated from
Governor down.
An 1 larncst Kevolt That Failed.
1 f-pent two or three days in that year
studying this campaign for The Dispatch.
"Never hae I witnessed more enthusiasm
and t'arnenncss. The mass meetings were
audience like a first night at an opera.
Groat preparations were made to prevent
fiaud and intimidation at the polls. Gor
man sat at Uarnum's Hotel, his lieutenants
vibitinp him there: through them he pulled
the strings. Few meetings were held, a
still hunt was conducted, the boys worked
like trained soldiers; there was almost no
trouble at the polls and Gorman men went
into the last one of them. Vicious election
laws, thorough control of the political ma
chinery, long experience in quiet, unscrupu
lous manipulation, did what all the influ
ence of "leading citizens" could not do.
"The kid-glove movement" was crushed
out of existence, and lias not been heard
from since. It is the difference between
professional politics and sincere popular
moveraerits for official honesty. The sincere
popular movement is not in it, or, it so,
then very rarely. But to direct the pro
fessional element requires a master hand,
and Gorman almost might be said to have
two master hands.
A Record to Bo Respected.
It is hard not to entertain admiration for
a man who, from a page boy, came to he
Senator, and who holds his place with real
dignity, though by the most vicious employ
ment of political cunning.
I believe, however, that Gorman has
somewhat changed his associates, if not his
methods. I am told that many of the old
crew have been dismissed possibly because
they tell so low as to be no longer of use
even in Gorman's scheme of politics. At
any rate, Gorman's name is spoken of with
respect and very widely in connection with
the Presidency, and Hill is a natural and
powerful supporter. "Why this should be
so can only be explained on the theory that
professional politicians purpose that hence
forth office holding shall be confined to their
own class, from President down.
It is to be regretted that such a policy
must shut out of the race grand intellects
like that of John G. Carlisle. Gorman is a
man ot fine abilities. Hill is his counter
part. But those abilities are not 'directed
in the channel of broad statesmanship.
They are bounded by jnere considerations of
party and personal success. t
Andy Stewart the Victim of a Joke.
Doubtless there is no member of this
Congress who affords his friends the enjoy
ment of a more constant flow of humor and
good feeling than "Andy" Stewart, of the
Twenty-fourth district. "So one is fonder
of a joke, and, as is the case with all of his
kind, the joke is sometimes turned on the
joker. This was the case to-day, when the
Committee on Contested Elections an
nounced the calendar of its cases. Stewart
has made hosts of friends here with his
jokes and unfailing -bonhommie, and it was
generally predicted that his case, Craig
versus Stewart, would come about last on
the list, and so be deferred until the end of
his term. There was a broad smile all
round, therefore, when the calendar was
made up and lo! the.namc of Stewart led all
the rest.
It was probably Mr. Stewart's wish that
he should be last rather than first in this
instance not because "of any doubt as to the
strength of his case, but because of a vague
impression that it might be difficult for
even a son of old "Tarifl Andy" Stewart to
successfully battle against a Democratic
majority almost up in the hundreds.
Basis or the Craig Contest
The only thing he can now congratulate
himself on is that the agony will not be
prolonged. He has-full faith that the great
justice of his cause will overcome any lurk
ing prejudice the Democrats might feel
against him on account of his decided Re
publicanism. The main charge against him
is that several of the election boards were
irregular and that the votes accepted by
these boards arc illegal. To throw out the
votes of thcEe districts would give Craig,
the contestant, a majority.
Of.the six contests in the House three
are are from Pennsylvania. Scull's seat, in
the Somerset district, is contested by
Greevy, principally on the charge that per
sons living in townships voted in boroughs,
an old practice in Pennsylvania and other
States, and probably never before used as a
basis of a contest. Mr. Scull also feels
pretty certain he will come out all right,
but even if he he unseated he will probably
serve most of his term, as his name is the
filth on the calendar of cases, and will not
be reached for a lohg time.
One Case of Alleged Bribery.
The case of Reynolds versus Shunk in
volves the most serious charge. Mr. Shunk
is a bright young man of wealth from.the
Twelfth, or Luzerne county district It was
charged that he used money too freely in
the campaign. He admits using a large
sum of money, admits paying the expenses
of Democratic supporters togo out and work
for him and to stand at the polls. The anti
Delamater Independents were up in arms,
and Shunk knew he would have to strain
every nerve to win. He denies, however,
that" he did anything illegitimate, but he
can't help feeling just a little uneasy. I am
informed that it will not be claimed that
Reynolds was elected, bft' -y that Shunk
should he unseated for bribery. His case is
third on the list, however, and he will have
a breathing spell as a statesman, no matter
how he fares.
The Republicans feel assured that the
Democrats will be liberal this term in con
tests, as during the last term of the Repub
licans six Democrats of the twelve contest
ants were seated.
Quay Preaches a tone Sermon.
Senator Quay visited the President to
day, and when the length of the visit is
considered, it is fair to assume that some
thing must have occurred. Just what did
take place is not known, but it is generally
believed among Pennsylvanians that there
was some pretty sharp talk, and that the
sharpest talk was not on the part of the
President.
The Scnitor has felt justified in enter
taining a feeling of indignation that there
sljould be any hesitation in regard to the
appointment of Graham, in view of his ex
traordinary indorsements, which are far be
yond those of any other candidate almost
unparalleled, in lact. It is whispered that
the Senator gave the President the plainest
sermon he has yet delivered-to that public
servant, who is using his office more or less
shrewdly to promote his personal ambitions.

"NEW Yokk, Jan. 8. Special. Billy
McGlory, the notorious divc-kecper, has at
last been brought to the end of his tether.
He was brought into the General Sessions
Court this morning, for sentence by
Recorder Smyth, who addressed the follow
ing scathing language to him:
Any man who has lived in this commu
nity for a number of years, as I have, must
know that your character lias been intimous
lor years, and that you have been the pro
piietorof an cntublishmcnt outraging the
decency of the community andtho laws that
govern it. The evidence in your case showed
that this dive in Fourteenth street was re
sorted to by men and women of the lowest
character, and that orgiei of the most dis
gusting kind went on there I have no
doubt that it was all done within your per
sonal knowledge and under your approval,
and it was further proved that you received
all of the profits of the widened business
carried on there. t
There is but one cirenmstanco favorable
to you that I shall take into consideration
in imposing sentence, and lor that reason
alone shall I impose less than the extreme
pcnaltv impiisonment in tho penitentiary
for one year and a lino of $530. That circum
stance is that you did not ko upon tho wit

wilful peij ury. as so many defendants do.
In consideration of that ciicumstance I
nentcnce you to imprisonment In the peni
tential v for one year and to pay a fine of
$300, and that j ou btand committed a day for

McGlory turned from the bar with a rue
ful countenance. He will appeal, it is un
derstood, from the conviction.

The Last of Mansfield's Brutal Bobbers of
Fhcobo "Wise Is Captured.
TORT HinsOX, MICH., Jan. 8. Special
Two days ago a cigar maker, giving the
name of C. C Scyles, got work with Cham
bers & 3Iulford, of this city. This-morning
he was arrested by W. E. O'Donnell, of
Mansfield, O., and Detective Buckridge, of
this city, charged with complicity in a rob
bery committed at Mansfield. On Decem
ber 18 last three men broke into the resi
dence of Miss Phoebe "Wise, living alone
.there, who was reported to have money.
She refused to give up the money or tell
where it was secreted. They then held
lighted tapers to her feet, burning them ter
ribly, until she was unable to stand the
pain longer. She told them where the
money was concealed. They secured 5330
in money and a gold watch, rings and other
jewelry of considerable value.
Two of the robbers were promptly nr
restedand the officers traced Scyles, whose
right name is Henry Zrogel, from Mans
field to this city. He carried a bulldog re
volver, which the officers say he would not
have hesitated to use had he been given an
opportunity. The officer has started for
Mansfield with his prisoner without extra

THE MAN UNDER ARREST TS MISSOURI
CLOSELY INSPECTED.
He Resembles the Photo of Gilkinson's
Murderer The Police Description Also
Tits Him His Clever Work In Prison
Also Furnishes Another Link.
St. JosErir, Mo., Jan. & .S'ncciaZ.
Yesterday it was announced that a prisoner
answering the description of the murderer
of Detective Gilkinson, of Pittsburg, had
been arrested. The supposed Fitzsimmons
has been in jailin Buchanan county, and his
clever attempts to escape attracted the at
tention that has resulted in the belief that
he.is the escaped convict from Pittsburg.
The DisrATCH correspondent to-day in
vestigated the case. According to the de
scription and photograph in possession of
Sheriff Spratt there is little doubt that in
the prisoner Harrington he has the mur
derer Pitzsimmons. The resemblance be
tween Fitzsimmona and Harrington, as
shown by a photograph of the former in the
possession of Sheriff Spratt, is nearly per
fect, and other points in the description not
portrayed in the photograph are well an
swered in Harrington's personal appear
ance. Por instance Pitzsimmons, ths escaped
prisoner, had abnormally large feet; so has
Harrington. Pitzsimmons is described as
being about 5 feet 8 inches tall and 35 years
of age. This is about the height and age of
Harrington. Fitzsimmona beard was
thickly sprinkled with gray, and so is that
of the Buchanan county prisoner.
But the indescribable facial resemblance
is what more thoroughly convinces the
local authorities that they have the badly
wanted murderer.
- ELKINS' ROAD IS A GO.
He at Last Gets nis Charter for a Railroad
to Connect West Virginia With Balti
more The New Branch to Rnn Through
Allegheny and Washington Counties.
Baltimore, Jan.. 8. Special. About
two months ago, just before he was made
Secretary of "War, Stephen B. Elkins mysti
fied the residents in "Western Maryland by
making a tour through the upper counties
on horseback. His connection with and
interest in the "West Virginia Railroad was
well known to the residents along the 'line,
bnt they could not understand what benefit
the corporation could expect to derive from
thU inspection.
There was some talk about an extension
of the road to Baltimore from Cumberland,
and repeated efforts had been made to ob
tain by purchase the bed of thi Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal. "When this deal hung fire
an ofier was made to purchase- the "Western
Maryland road-but the price demanded by
the"1Svfrft?vanythB; largest Eftckhohler,
was almost prohibitory, and this idea was
shortly abandoned.
Thelast decision of Chief Justice Alvey,
which practically placed the canal in the
possession of the Baltimore and Ohio, the
greatest competitor of the "West Virginia,
appears, however, to put an end to all
efforts to purchase the "road, for to-day the
Baltimore and Cumberland road, by which
name the new road which is to conneet with
the "West Virginia will be" known,
obtained a charter to build
a road from Cumberland to
Baltimore, which will extend eastward
through Allcghenrcounty, through Wash
ington county, near Hagerstown, through
Frederick county, through Carroll and
Baltimore counties, terminating in Balti
more. As the distance is about or very
nearlv 200 miles, and the cost of construc
tion $40,000 per mile, the net expense of
building the road will be 58,000,000.

A Startling Case or the Baltimore Which

Vallfjo, Cal., Jan.-8. The repairs on

been found that the paint is off the hull

slight reduction of speed caused by barna

indefinitely.
It has just become known to the officers
of the Baltimore that John H. Davidson, of
the crew, was tried by a criminal court at'
Valparaiso on a charge even yet unknown,
convicted and sentenced to five years' im
prisonment without either himself or Cap
tain Schley being informed that he was
under trial," aud in face of a written state
ment to Captain Schley by the Valparaiso
authorities that no charges were pending
against any of the Baltimore's crew. Da
vidson is still on the Baltimore shin's book.
Forty-three out of the party of the Balti

officers of the ship, and all the men were in

A Foregone Conclusion-, the
Present Administra

DEAD SET AGAINST WAB.
England Awaking to the Fact Thai
We. Are to Have a Navy
EQUAL TO ANT IN THE WORLD.-
She Is Anxious for Chile to Arrange Matters
Speedily Now.
CONGRESSMAN EAINES ON THE SUBJECT
rSPEClAI. TELEGRAM TO TnEDISPATCn.1
Washington', D. C, Jan. 8. Congress
man John Raines, in an elaborate inter
view to-day on the Chilean question, said:
"I do not imagine there is at the present
time any very great fear of war with Chile
entertained by the administration. This
for the simple reason that wc are preparing
for emergencies at an unprecedented rate.
"You don't see the point? Well, Eng
land, to begin with, has some pretty heavy
interests at stake u that little South
American Republic, Interests, in fact, that
will, to a great extent, control any present
actions of the new administration. England
has found out that the people of this coun
try are behind the Government in the de
mand for ample justice in case the assault
upon the sailors of the Baltimore was both
unprovoked and unwarranted. Mind you,
I say in case it is satisfactorily proved.
Onr New Navy to Be Respected.
"The English people are advised that at
the present time every effort is being put
forward by the Navy Department to place
a fleet at the disposal of the Government in
case of need. "What is more, they know
perhaps what is not generally known here
in this country that parts of the work on
new vessels awarded under contract to sev
eral firms are being hurried along outside
the firms that received the contract In
other words, when practicable and possible,
such work as cannot be pushed forward ad
vantageously by the original contractor is
being given to outside firms, with a distinct
understanding as to the time required within
which the parts needed are to be .ready.
"England, as 'the ruler of the seas,' does
not like this state of affairs. Our new
vessels fairly outclass her ships of nominally
the same grade, and her supremacy is
threatened. With the people Behind this
movement for a navy, offensive and de
fensive, foreign powers know that the
United States will have a fleet that will
command not only respect, but fear.
Chile Conld Be Choked Into Peace.
"To prevent a continuance of the build
incofnew battle ships, and cruisers, Eng
land will step in and fairlv choke Chile
into a necessary apology. This will be the
outcome of the matte'r, I believe. The
Chileans themselves are a hot-blooded race,
with no idea of either the wealth or strength
of this -cocutryv Lcft. to themselves,,,! -fs
.doubtful if even Montt and his lieutenants
could control them.
"But it would disconcert European poli
tics considerably for this countrv to be
classed all over the world as a naval power
of the first magnitude. England appre
ciates this the most, as actual tests show
how far our new vessels are in advance of
the prides of her navy. She knows our re
sources, and appreciates that when the peo
ple make up their, minds to have a navy it
will be the best that can be obtained. So,
to allay popular enthusiasm in a branch of
the nations power which is most likely, in
ordinary parlance, to 'tread on her corns,'
she will'bring every inch of her weight to
bear on the Chileans to prevent any out
break of hostilities. I may be wronz in
this, but the people will see in good time."
Prospects for Peace Excellent.
The prospects of a peaceful settlement of
the uniiean trouDies now appear very
bright. This country has never changed its
position in the matter, but insists now, as
it has from the first, upon suitable repara
tion being made for the outrages of the mob
at Valparaiso, and would resort to any
means necessary to maintain the national
dignity. The peaceful outlook is due to a
change of policy jn Chile since the inaugu
ration of the new Government. Senor
Montt has been trying ever since he became
acquainted with the state of things in this
country to bring the Chilean Government
to an appreciation of the folly of trying
any bravado in dealing with this question.
His efforts with the Junta were entirely
Unsuccessful.
Information attainable now indicates that
thel present Government is in accord with
Senor Montt, and is willing to do anything
possible to restore the friendly relations be
tween the two countries.
Senor Montt Says It's AH Right ,
Senir Montt, in discussing the question,
said that there was no danger of war be
tween Chile and the United States.
"Chile," he explained, "is ready to do the
honorable and proper thing, and .just as soon
as the report on the judicial action is com
pleted it will be forwarded to this country,
and it will, I am sure, be satisfactory to this
country."
He "expressed the opinion that Chile
would not indulge in any more wars. There
would certainly he no wars, he said, as long
as the present administration or those in
sympathy with it retained power. Though
the last war was very successful, the strife
necessarily wasan injury to the country, and
every effort would be made to preserve
peace.
A Report Comes From Chile.
, Senor Montt, the Chilean Minister, had
another conference with, Secretary Blaine
to-day. The Minister laid before the Secre
tary the following information which he re
ceived from Senor Pcrira, the Chilean Min
ister of Foreign Affairs:
The voluminous summary of judicial pro
ceedings instituted before tho regular court
(that presided over by Judge of Crimes Fos
ter) on the 17th of October, in reference to
the deplorable incident of the day before
(the troublo in Valparaiso between the Chil
eans and the snilorx from the Baltimore) has
terminated. The District Attorney hns pre
sented an extensive report upon its merits,
diawing the following conclusions: '
First The un for tuna to accident of the
16th of October oihjinatcd in a brawl
between intoxicated sailors of both nations.
The riot gtew in proportions on account of
the special ward in which it occurred, full
of houses of bad reputation and saloons.
Second The policemen from the first mo
ment did all they were directed to do to
suppress tho riot. The correct course of the
police has been acknowledged by every oio
of the witnesses and of tho American sailors
excopt two. y
Third Only one isolated shot was fired.
It was from a revolver. Tho police carry
Comblain's carbines.
One of the Americans Indicted.
The District Attorney indicts the follow
ing named prisoners:" Carlos Gomez, a
Chilean; Frederico Rodriguez, a Chilean;
Ahuamada, a Chilean, and Davidson, an
American. He asks that they be punished
according to law, as follows:
Gomez, from tnree to five years' confine
ment in the penitentiary Rodriguez, two
to 18 months' confinement in the penitenti
ary, and Ahuamada and Davidson, 20 to 40
days' imprisonment.
Minister Montt declined the request of a
reporter to be interviewed on the subject
matter of the fore"oinir statement. He ex
plained, however, that the presentation of i
tne report of the District Attorney, or
Promoter Fiscal, as tho officer is called
in Chile, carries with it the indict
ment of the men named therein.
Their trial will now take place
before the Judge of Crimes who heard the
evidence taken orisrinallv for the benefit of
the district attorney. At this trial the men I
will be given an opportunity to present apy
testimony they may have to prove their in
nocence of the crime for which they are
arraigned. The Minister thinks the trial
will follow speedily, and believes the result
should be known within two weeks.
HANGING A DISGRACE.
CITIZENS OF LITCnFIELD PROTEST
AGAINST AN JEXECTJTION.
Though They Admit tho Sentenced Man Is a
Brutal Mnrdcrer, They Don't Want
Their Place Defiled No Execution
Th-re for 100 fears.
IlAr.TFORD, CONN., Jan. 8. Special
On January 29, unless the Court of Pardons
interferes in his behalf, Andrew Borjensen
will be hanged in the village of Xitchfield.
Borjensen murdered his sweetheart, Emma
Anderson, in October, 1890.- He crept into
the girl's bedroom and struck her on the
head, killing her.
There has not been a hanging in Litch
field for more than 100 years. Petitions
have been circulated and widely Bigned,
and an application for mercy will be pre
sented to the Board of Pardons when it
meets in this city on Monday? in special
session, t6 consider this case.
.Ministers, lawyers, storekeepers and
other business men of Litchfield are work
ing to save Borjensen's life. They have no
sympathy with him, and acknowledge that
his crime was brutal and shocking. Still,
they want to save Litchfield the "disgrace,"
as they call it, of a hanging. They say the
people from the surrounding towns would
flock into Litchfield on the day of the hang
ing ready for a debauch, and that the drink
ing and carousing would do the village great
harm.
There are those who base their desire to
save the murderer on the fact that he has
epilepsy. They believe that Boriensen
committed the murder when he was ill, and
that he is not responsible.
No arrangements have as yet been made
for the hanging. The jail is right in the
center of the villiage, so that no one can go
near the busiuess part of the town without
seeing the preparations for the hanging. To
shut off a sight of the gallows from the up
per windows of the nearby houses it will
be necessary to enclose the yard with a fence
fitff eet high. To avoid this gigantic task it
is proposed to build the fence only 25 feet
high and cover it over with canvas. The
Litchfield people consider- the place unfit
for" an execution, and are making every effort
to avoid it.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 8. The Democrats
of the Legislature have constituted the
necessary committee in caucus, and will,
probably, as early as next week, offer a
resolution for an investigation of the
methods which prevailed during the Sena
torial contest and the caucus. The Demo
crats want to know what truth there is m
certain rumors and the developments so far
as they have been made. '
A local paper is giving" considerable
space to what it terms bribery, intimida
tion and promises which prevailed in the
Sherman-Foraker Senatorial -contest. The
charges have become so direct that there is
considerable squirming among those who
were on the fence in the Senatorial issue
and who could not decide which side they
would take until a few hours before the
time for the ballot arrived.
A Miner Says it Cost a Million.
It is cited that John Nugent, former
President of the Ohio miners, declared
upon the floor at the meeting of the States
Trades' Assembly that the nomination had
cost Sherman 51,000,000 in cash. (As a
starter in the way of exposition, an inter
view is published with Representative
McConnell, ofLawrence county, in which
he is quoted as saying that he was offered a
Government department division snperin
tendency worth 2,300 if he would vote for
Sherman. He was pledged to vote for

A list of five Senators-and ten Represent
atives is given with the statement that they
were pledged to vote for Fpraker, and had
no intention of changing when they came to
Columbus. The considerations which a
portion of these received are given, being
principally promises of good offices and ap
pointments. Government Positions as Collateral.
Among those who changed positions on
the Senatorial question, and who, it is
claimed, are to receive positions, are Rep
resentative Flickinger, of Lucas county,
who is to have the position of Consul at
Frankfort-on-the-Main; E. L. Lampson,
who was given the position of President
pro tem of the Senate, is-also to have a good
Federal position as soon as a place
can be made for him. The name
of Representative Sterrett, of Miami
county, is given as having signed-j
the pledge with 38 others to vote for Fora

the last moment.
An old soldier interviewed says that he
was approached by one of the Sherman
workers and offered a bribe and a place of a
desirable nature if he would use his influ
ence among the old soldiers in the Legisla
ture in the interest of Sherman. The man
ager, he says, agreed to get him a contract
signed by Sherman that he would get what
was promised if he would take hold of the
work as they indicated. The offer was de
clined. The truth of these interviews and claims
is yet to be determined, as it is promised
that the series of developments has only
begun.

is a school teacher. He says:

refused to give me any campaign assistance
they were dumping $1,500 or moro in every
county where the nominee would give a
Sherman pledge. I pulled through Without
their help, however, and the moniins nfter

DALZELL IN GOOD FORM.

Correspondence He Is Kecolving

The Legislative Contests.
Philadelphia, Jan. 8. Special
Congressman Dalzell was in the city foe
awhile to-day, leaving to-night for a short
visit tome, intending to he in bis seat at
Washington again when the House, meets
on Monday. He was not disposed to talk
much about his Senatorial chances, saying
he preferred to let future developments in
that line speak, 'for themselves. In the
PERILS OF A HILLY CITY.
course of the conversation, however, he said
he is constantly receiving letters from
prominent Republicans in every Republican
county indorsinghis candidacy and assuring
him not only of personal well wishes, but
of active work in his behalf.
A distinctive feature of much of fhis cor
respondence is that it is from men who have
heretofore been unswerving in their Re-publicanism.ft-nen
who voted and worked
heartily for "action of Delamater, but
who think v ' ',. ("rjind like blunders

out of it, tfaey are for him for Senci i nd
glad to have the chance td supporfasuan
who has the courage to make an open and
vigorous fight for the position.
This disposes of the charge so often reit
erated bv the Quay organs that Mr. Dalzell
is only the candidate of a few kickers.
When asked about Legislative candidates
he said that but few had announced them
selves as yet, and none had been asked to
declare themselves on the Senatorial ques
tion. The nominations will not take place
in any of the counties earlier than March,
and in most counties not until later. The
preferences of Legislative candidates for
Senator will undoubtedly be declared in
time to allow the people to voto their
choice for United States Senator in voting
for members of Assembly and State Senate.
FIRING QUAY'S FRIENDS.
The Administration Itesorts to Extreme
Measures in Philadelphia Twelve Anti
Harrison Gangers Have Their Official
Heads Chopped Off The Beaver 3Ian
Admits ofo Compromise.
Philadelphia, Jan. 8. Special'
Finding that some local Federal officehold
ers were not looming np as strongly in the
fight for national delegates as the friends of
President Harrison deem desirable, ex
treme measures were resorted to to-day,
and quite a large-sized basketful of heads
fell under the official ax.
A, telegram from Washington stated that
12 employes of the Internal Revenue De
partment had been suspended for "reasons
satisfactory to SecretarFoster." Internal
Revenue" Collector liriis admitted that
six gaugers had been notified directly from
Washington that their services were no
longer required. Two are personal friends
of David Martin, Senator Quay's chief
lieutenant.
The activity on the part of the national
administration leaves no room for doubt as
to the sincerity of the fight being made to
prevent the Quay men from captnring a
solid delegation to Minneapolis from
Philadelphia, but the Beaver man's
henchman ate not standing still, and the
screws have been pnt on such employes of
the city as are suspected of taking an
interest in the plucky fight being made by
Leeds and Henry, to prevent the snubbing
that President "Harrison's opponents are
fixing up for him. Mr. Leeds declared
to-night that the citv administration had
been forced into the fight against him, and
that he was having a lard struggle, .but felt
very much encouraged at the developments
of the last few days.
Mayor Stuart to-day declined to commit
.himself to either side.
Representative Richard S. Quay came to
town this evening from Washington, and is
supposed to have come loaded down with
orders from his father. He was soon joined
bv Leader Martin and John A Glenn. The
trio chatted for a short-time and then de
parted for some more secluded place.
Leader Martin said to-ttay, in regard to
rumors of a contemplated compromise that
would harmonjze the warring factions:
"There is only one way by which peace can
be assured, and that is by the retirement of
the Harrison delegates. Unless this can be
done, it will be a battle to the finish, but
such a battle as can be won ,by us with
hands down."

THE STATE STEPS IN
With a Demand That Alder
man Eohe Pay Over the
Fines Collected.
A POINT OF LAW EAISED.'
Attorney E. S. Frazer Will Act for.
the Commonwealth.
THE LAW AND OEDEE ALDEEHEK
Slowr in Turning Fines Over to the Proper
Custodian.
i FEW OF THE SOCIETTS 3IISTEBIE8
The fact that the Law and Order Society
has made 100 orjnore informations against
employes of Sunday newspapers and that
Alderman Rohe has been for several months
hcarins suits brought by Agent McClcre
has called the attention of Attorney R. S.
Frazer, the Pittsburg representative of the
Commonwealth, to the fact that the Alder
man has not turned over to him whatever
fines he has collected under the laws of
1794. Although Mr. Rohe has been acting;
for the league for some time, Mr. Frazer
says he has not yet indicated to the State
authorities that he has collected any fines,
or that hs has any intention of handing'
them over to the proper custodian when ha
does collect them. In case something is not
done soon, Mr. Frazer, as the representa
tive of Attorney General Hensel, will de
mand a settlement from Alderman Rohe,
and if it is not made he will commence an
investigation.
The only knowledge that the State author!'
ties have that the Alderman is acting for
the Law and Order Society comes from the
newspapers. The fine of 525 in each case
where proceedings are taken under the law
ofllJU belongs to the State. Snits under
the act of 1794 have in the past few years
been.brought only by the Law and Order
Society. The city authorities have taken
advantage of it but once, and thai time,
turned the money over promptly.
Compelled to Watch the Aldermen.
It would not seem necessary for the At
torney General to be compelled to have a
representative in Pittsburg to attend to
this business, but Mr. Frazer says
it is. He also says it is necessary for
him to watch tho papers closely
that he may determine what Alderman,
is doing the work for the society. It is
just as necessary, Mr. Frazer continued, to
ask the Law and Order League Alderman
for money due the State. His experience
in the past has been that the fines must al
ways be asked for before they can he se
cured. He is not surprised that Mr. Rohe
is derelict and does not anticipate any
tronblc in collecting the money.
Mr. Frazer states that the method he
usually follows to get uioneydue the State
from Lac and Order League Aldermen is to'
write a letter demanding a settlement. In
the past they have always responded, bring
ing a statement with them of the cases they
have tried and in which they found the de
fendant guilty. Their books have never
been examined, 3Ir. Frazer always taking a
transcript as being correct. When asked if
he did not think it necessary to makeamore
thorough investigation, Mr. Frazer an
swered that he had taken it for granted the
returns were correct. Ifhehadnot thought
so, he said, he would have made a personal
investigation. He has a right to demand
the books of the Aldermen. He has not
kept a detailed statement of the cases for
which fines were turned in.
Only S4.000 Turned Over In Five Tears.
Peculiar interest is being taken in respect
to this matter of fines, because of the odd
way in which many of these prosecutions;
under the act of 1Z94 have been conducted.
For years it was the custom of the Law and
Orrlpr upAnlp in !irin Ti.ifMiA. fif snitt
weekly, on some occasions as many as 30 to3
100 suits being entered at a time. The reJTM
porters have almost always been excluded-,
from access to the records in these J-Jses,
although all other cases are freely laid be-'
fore them. The hearings and settlements
have often been semi-private, if not wholly
so. It is estimated by some that thousands
of these cases have been sued upon, yet 3Ir.
Frazer says that the total of the fines turned
over to him for the State in five years have
been but litfle over 54,000 and of this sum
the late Alderman Cassidy, who by no
means does the largest business for the Law
and Order Leazne, handed in over 53,000.
The reason that this was retained until it
reached such a large sum was because there
was a dispute as to who the fines should go
to. The city, the i'oor uirectors, the
county and the State all pnt in a claim.
The Attorney General instructed Mr. Frazer
to watch the interests of the State and he,
assisted by Mr. Yost, the Law and Order at
torney, who championed the cause of the
Commonwealth through choice, carried the
matter into the courts.
Cassidy Had to Give Up S3.000.
Judge Ewing decided that all fines col
lected under the act ofl794 should go to the
State and the Supreme Court affirmed his
decisiou. Alderman Cassidy then turned
over the fines, which he had held until that
time. The entire amount was over $3,000.
Aldermen Carlysle and Bell, of Pittsburg,
and Brinker, of Allegheny, attended to Law
and Order business at different times after
ward, and what they turned in did not
in all amount to much over 51,000. Rohe
has been receiving the informations made by
Agent McCiure and has had the usual run of
sunuay violators, xi is preNumeu oy jur,
Frazer that some of the parties brought be
fore the Alderman were fined, and that
therefore he should receive the money for
the Slate.
As in all the movements of the Law and
Order Society, however, the disposal of
cases by Alderman Rohe are shrouded in a
mystery as deep and dense as the workings
of the Mafia. A fass word, a series of raps,
a door with a wicket and a Law and .Order
Alderman's office within which a hearing;
was being conducted, might be taken by a
man on the outside as being the headquar-,
ters ot a secret societv. To any ana all
questions with regard to the hearings, a
stare of blank amazement is theusual reply.
The docket is closed as tightly as the book of
fate. Informations are locked in a sate so old
that it might have done service for Noah ia
preserving papers entitling him to the
earth. So mysterious are the workings of
the society that only omniscience can tell
how many of tho hundred or more persons
brought before Alderman Rohe were fined
the usual ?2J.
Kobe Has No Right to Settle Cases.
It is possible that some of them were dis
charged. It might he that one or mora'
were settled. It is even possible they were
all settled, but, in case they were, and the .
Alderman did not collect any fines for the
State. Mr. Frazer still has a "crow to pick"
with Mr. Rohe. He believes that after an" '
arrest ia made the magistrate has up author-
