fErCCIAL TELEGRAPHIC LETTEB.
Bureau or The Dispatch,
Washigton, D. C-, April 17.
A pretty general exodus of Pennsylvania
Republican officials and Congressmen frill
take place to-morrow and Tuesday. Of
course, the objective point will be the Penn
sylvania capital and the Republican con
vention. The convention of "Wednesday,
while not having a direct bearing on the
United States Senators, might possibly
lftord some new "pointers" in regard to the
feeling in the State, and also, it may, by
Judicious management, be made to hare
some influence upon the people of the State
in relation to the contest for the Senator
ship. It is quite certaiu that Senator Quay's
friends among the Republican officials and
Congressmen will not remain away from
Harrisburg except upon compulsion. No
effort is necessary to induce their attend
ance. Whatever may be said upon one side
or the other of the Senatorial question, it
must be admitted that among the friends of
(he Senator there is a loyalty that knows no
.'altering or indifference.
Quay's Friends Always on H' id.
Without solicitation, and ", ,ot ques
tion, they are always on hand at the right
place and at the right time, and until the
opposition has an organization thoroughly
centralized and working with equal intelli
gence, alacrity and harmony, it will be diffi
cult to accomplish very much in the way df
"downing the machine," except to elect
occasionally a Democrat or a dark horse to
high office.
The convention of Wednesday will cer
tainly be "Quay's convention," to repeat
an expression often used of late years. The
appearance in the field against him of a
clever and plucky antagonist, the organiza
tion of anti-Quay clubs, the direct issue
made between Dalzell and Quay in nearly
every county w hich has up to this time held
its primaries for the nomination of mera
lers ot the Legislature, have had the effect
to arouse the triends of the Senator as they
have not been aroused for long years.
The First Tight for Tea Tears.
For ten years no fight has been made
against the Senatorial candidate of what is
called "the machine," and this one comes
under circumstances which has injected new
life into all the dormant energies of "the
machine," as will be manifest from the at
tendance of Senator Quay's friends at the
convention and the complete control of
that body by him through his ever-loyal
friends.
Naturally the chief interest here, gen
erally speaking, is in the treatment of the
Presidental question by the convention. No
one expects the convention will declare
itself in favor of the renomination of Har
rison. Even if all the reports of a renewal
of cordiality between the Presideut and
the Senator were true, no instruction of the
national delegates for Harrison would be
given. The delegation from Pennsylvania
n ill go to Minneapolis uninstructed, it is
thought, even in the matter of voting as a
unit This, however, is yet a mooted ques
tion. The trouble is, such instructions are
not binding. National conventions have
decided that a member of a delegation who
refuses to submit to instructions in regard
to the unit rule shall have the right to vote
his convictions
Possibility or the Unit Rule.
Possibly, however, the unit rule may be
adopted, merely to show the unanimity of
the desire of the convention to please
Senator Quay, if the Senator signifies hi?
liking for such a declaration. Meantime, it
may be said, the Senator asserts emphati
cally that he has no particular concern
about the matter, and will in no way attempt
to induce the convention to take any action
on his account Probably without instruc
tions the delegates to the National Conven
tion, who will elect Quay their Chairman
and recognize him as their leader, will be
quite as unanimous in following his guid
ance as though their instructions to do so
v ere absolute.
The iact is no one expects any other nomi
nation than that of Mr. Harrison, and in
structions upon any matter are not consid
ered highly important. I have said that Mr.
Harrison does not expect instructions for
him. He does expect, however, that, as a
matter of form, his name and administra
tion will be mentioned in the resolutions.
Here at the Capital curiosity is centered
upon this one point, and that passage of the
resolutions will be scanned eagerly and read
between the lines to discover, if that mav
be, the real relations of Harrison and
Quay.
Ilorrlson Sure to Be Indorsed.
I am assured that the resolutions will
contain a hearty indorsement of the admin
istration of President Harrison. Since the
withdrawal of Blaine the Senator has recog
nized the almost inevitable occurrence of
the renomination of Harrison, and has taken
no practical steps in opposition.
The truth is, the Senator has never felt
all the antagonism for the President that
has been reported. He blames the Presi
dent, not so much for what he has done as
fc A ji. jfe juttfSSJfajeZktotxciArr ' f" 'it. -S 4j&fc' Ak& ii v ' SiffenT lift liilW'fr'Tr T7ll
jsi
for permitting himself to be influenced to
do it by persons who should have had noth
ing to say in the matter. Postmaster Gen
eral Wanamaker has been the great cause' of
dissension between the Senator and the
President. Senator Quay has held that
Wanamaker, as a Cabinet officer, was in no
sense a representative of the State of Penn
sylvania, and should have had no more to'
say in regard to Pennsylvania affairs or ap
pointments than if he were a citizen of
Texas. Mr. Wanamaker has constantly
Interfered. The President has referred to
too many of his suggestions, in the opinion
of tbe Senator, and a President less under
tbe influence of John Wanamaker would
have been more to tho taste of Mr. Quay.
Wanamaker the One Quay's After.
A few months ago. It will be remembered,
the Senator was on the point of presenting
to Congress resolutions asking for an Inves
tigation of the suspension of certain em
ployes in the office of the Collector of In
ternal Revenue at Philadelphia. It was not
the Intention of this resolution to catch tho
President nor yet Secretary Foster, who
ostensibly ordered the suspension. Quay
knew that the Initiative did not come from
either Harrison or Foster. Wanamaker was
the gentleman Quay was after.
The situation, then. Is that there Is at this
time no particular ill-feellne between tba
Senator and the President. Pleasant things
will be said of the administration at the
Harrisburg convention.
Harrison will he nominated at Minnea-
Solls in June. He will very much desire to
e elected In November. He will want the
hearty co-operation of so shrewd, so inimita
ble a strategist as Quay. He will have sev
eral months In which to train that co-operation
by substantial proofs of his friendly
disposition in the matter of Pennsylvania
patronage, will ne snut aown on nana
maker? Many Speeches That Aren't Spoken.
Another installment or "extended" re
marks appeared in the Congressional Record
this morning. Johnson, of North Dakota,
took the laurels. After five lines of his own
remarks, supposed to have been delivered
two weeks ago on the free wool bill, he in
serted 14 paee9, in nonpareil type, of a com
pilation or Hon. Robert Porters Investiga
tions among the wageworkers or England
and other conntiies, and contrasting tholr
condition with that or the well-paid labor
ing people or the United States. It nar
rowly escapes being as voluminous as the
free trade work of Henry George, published
as a serial.
Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts,
arter half a dozen lines or Introduction.pub
lishes four pages of a pamphlet on "work
and Wages""by Mr. Walker Given, and pro
poses to give more of Mr. Given at another
time. Loud, of California, gives several
f lazes of a newspaper article on the cost ot
Iving.
All of these quoted papers are red-hot
arguments for a protective tariff, whether
written for that purpose or not. Any num
ber or members say they are preparing to
follow up these publications with whole
volumes on one side or the other of the tariff
and other questions, and it is only a ques
tion of time when a halt will be called by a
resolution prohibiting the publication of
any matter in the Record excepting that
actually spoken on the floor.
How the Scheme Is Worked.
The manner in which these quoted works
are Inserted is this: A member secures a few
minutes to speak upon some question and
the privilege of extending bis remarks in
the Record. Usually he does not have tbe
extension of his remarks prepared for im
mediate publication, and so "withholds
them Tor revision." In the process of re
vision he may eliminate all that he said on
the floor and insert an vthlng he desires and
at any length. The privilege has occasion
ally been abused by the interpolation ot
offensive attacks on members who inter
rupted the Speaker, and occasionally by the
insertion of ill-placed matter, such as the
poem or "Atalantis," by Downing, of Col
orado, years ago, but the abuse has never
be Tore gone to anything like the length it
has within the last week.
I am told that Hon. Tom Watson, of Geor
gia, the Alliance member who makes free
trade speeches on any bill, and who yester
day did so while ostensibly discussing the
Boutelle amendment to the naval bill, pro
viding for several new war vessels, is a gen
tleman of considerable wealth, though he is
always sushln: his free trade arguments to
the front on account of the burden the tariff
Imposes upon the poor. Mr. Watson has re
cently purchased an elegant house on a
lashlonable street, and entertains hand
somely. Jerry Simpson or Kansas, also, who
was supposed to be too poor to buy socks for
his feet, is now asserted to have a snug for
tune. One Way to Break Into Congress.
In fact, the downtrodden Alliance people
seem to have sent Representatives all round
who are very comfortably "fixed" pecuni
arily, and who have no personal complaint
to make of mortgages and monopolies. It is
possible that these men were simply shrewd
onousrh to play the only game by which they
could win a seat in Congress.
Lovers of that inimitable intellectual bev
erage, London PuncTi, may expect a treat
soon in pictorial impressions ot America by
that exceedingly clevor draughtsman, Harnr
FurnUs, well known internationally. For a
week before he was discovered he had been
bitting in Congressional galleries making
sketches or Senators and Representatives,
and his transcriptions or expression and his
caricatures or prominent members are de
lightful. He catches bis man with remark
able rapidity, and though stranger, as he is,
to the subjects, his every line is character
istic. It is a new departure for Punch to
send a "special artist'' to American fields,
and the result will be awaited with interest.

A COMPACT OF SUICIDE
Entered Into and Fulfilled to the Letter
by Two Despondent Chicago Germans
They Met by Chinee and Confided
Their Troubles to Each Other.
CniCAGO, April 17. Casper Casel and
William Spania, two German laborers, en
tered into an agreement Saturday evening
to commit suicide. That both seriously in
tended to carry out the compact, needs no
further proof than the fact that Casel's dead
body now lies in the morgue and Spania
mav not recover from the wounds inflicted
by his own hands.
Casel boarded with Conrad Sanders. This
morning, when Sanders went to Casel's room
to wake him he found his boarder lying on
the bed stone dead with a bullet hole in his
right temple and a revolver in his clenched
hand. The police were notified and the body
removed.
It u as learned that Casel had recently re
ceived a letter fiom Geimanv informing
him of tho death of tils rather, "who, accord
ing to the statement ot the deceased, was a
man or some prominence and wealth. The
news as a great shock to the son, whose
arler seemed to increase dally. Five hours
after Casel's body was found the police were
notified or Spania's attempt to kill himself
in a saloon. Spania was round in tho saloon
with several deep gashes In his neck, hav
ing tried to cut his throat with a pocket
knlte. When taken to the station he begged
the officers to shoot him.
After his wounds wero dressed he was pre
vailed upon to explain his attempt to kill
himself. He said he and his wife had not
lived happily together, and a week ago
they haa separated lor good. He became
despondent and resolved to kill himself.
Siuce that time he has been drinking heav
ily. lie met Casel by chance ana they became
fast friends on tho strength of both having
been born in Luxemburg. They confided to
each other their troubles, and Saturday
evening they made a solemn agreement to
commit suicide together. They went to
getner and bought a revolver, the arrange
ment being that Casel should shoot Spania
through the head and then kill himself.
This plan -was afterward changed, and it was
decided that each should take his own lire.
Cai-el went to- his room with the revolver
and carried out his part of the contract.
Spania's wounds are actions, but there is a
probability that he will recover.
CONFESSED TO 17 FOEGEBIES.
A Brother and Sister Are Arrested for Sys

BAUSMAN OUT OP THE FOLD.
THE TURNED DOWN FRESBTTERIAN
PASTOR A SECESSIONIST.
Be and the Majority or His Flock Organise
the First Congregatlonalist Church In
the Beaver Valley No Difference Ex
cept More Liberty of Action.
Eochesteb, April 17. Special To
day witnessed the dissolution of the pastoral
relations existing between Rev. Mr. Bans
man and his late charge, the Presbyterian
Church, and the preliminary steps In the
organization of a new Congregational Church
from the wreck the first Congregational
Church in the Beaver Valley. This morn
ing H. Bliss, Superintendent of the Pres
byterian Sunday school, tendered his res
ignation, and was followed in this by Frank
Peyler, treasurer of the school. Eev. Mr.
Turner, of Glenshaw, Pa., who had been
appointed by the Allegheny Presbytery to
preach and declare the pulpit vacant, made
that formal announcement at 11 o'clock
this morning before a small congregation
of about 80 persona The only direct refer
ence to the trouble in the church was con
tained In the simple announcement of the
dissolution by authority of the Presbytery.
Meanwhile the followers of Mr. Bausman,
to the number of about 60, had assembled in
the Y. M. C. A. hall, and were holding Sun
day school, as usual. Then followed a ser
mon, over 100 people coming in to hear it.
Mr. Bausman made a brief address, express
ing his determination to still preaoh In this
community. At S o'clock about 110 persons
assembled in Leafs Hall to consider the ad
visability of organizing a Congregational
Church. Mr. Bausman addressed the meet
ing, and after referring to the cordial rela
tions -which had existed between himself
and his late congregation, said among other
things:
"I believe that what I was doing was not
incendiary, revolutionary, or destructive of
the Christian faith. The opposition suc
ceeded In having the Presbytery remove
me. They took me from the pulpit of that
church, but gave me a certificate which
left me in good standing in the
Presbyterian Church. Now, my friends,
there cannot be righteousness in giving me
that letter and in taking me away from the
Rochester church. Either the Presbytery
bad no right to remove me, or else it had no
right to give me that letter.
"That little church once the happiest in
the valley, is now a last year's bird's nest
most of the birds have gone. Tbe flock is
scattered upon the mountains. I cannot
say to you to obey the Presbytery. The
Congregational Church is very much like
the Presbyterian Church, with the Presby
tery left out. We want a church where no
body of men living at a distance can, by a
series or letter writings and personal inter
views, come with their minds poisoned and
dictate to us."
The minister then announced that he
would preach fora salary of (600a year, and
produced an application to the Congrega
tional Association of Western Pennsylvania
to establish a Congregational Churoli here.
Seventy-three representative church-goers
among those present came forward at once
and affixed their names to the application,
and it is probable that tbe number will
reach 100 In a day or two. The $600 named
as salary is already provided for by a sub
scription. BAB0N FAVA QIAO TO COKE BACK.
Ho Could Have Otner Missions, but Prefers
to Live in America.
Washikotok, April 17. Prof. F. B. Fava,
Jr., son of Baron Fava, speaking of the
report that his father had been ordered back
to Washington, said that his father's ac
ceptance depends on his own disposition.
He is satisfied, however, that he will return
to Washington and bring the Baroness with
nlm.v It was stated thi owing to the mixed
condition of politics in Europe at this time
there were other diplomatic missions Baron
Fava can have if he likes. The Baron has
recently been advanced to the highest rank
in the diplomatlo branch.
Prof. Fava regrets the criticism .of his
father's action in leaving Washington by
the press of America, and denies the truth of
the charge that tbe Baron was ignorant of
the laws or the United States. He left
Washington against his will, and only under
positive orders from his Government. Prof.
Fava suites that the Italians are jubilant
over the settlement, and he is satisfied that
the old-time good feeling between the two
Governments has been fully restored.
Italy, he thinks, will now make a fine ex
hibit at the Columbian Exposition. Already
one of- the Italian men-of-war has been put
into commission to bring exhibits over, and
,thcr ships will now be commissioned.
CONVERSION AND CONFESSION.
A Revival May Least to the Solution of sn
Ohio River Murder Mystery.
Crscnsif ATI, April 17. The morning papers
print a story without names of what may
develop into a romantlo murder mystery.
Nine months ago an unknown man was
found dead in tbe Ohio river near Rising
Sun, Ind. His skull was broken, but the
Coroner found no evidence of criminal vio
lence on the decayed body.
The new story in the morning papers Is
that a woman, converted at a religious re
vival in Indianapolis, has within a
month confessed to a person in Indianapolis
that she and her husband nearly a year ago
knocked an elderly man in the head on the
Covington bridge, robbed him of his money
and threw his body into the river. It is said
detectives are working the case, and the
husband has left Indianapolis for parts un
known. AN ASSASSIN DIBCOVEBEa

A HAUL FOR GAMBLERS AND TRADERS
El Beno, Okla., April 17. Easter Sun
day was a day of bright promise to the
boomers gathered about the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe reservation, whloh will be thrown
open to settlement Tuesday, Each home
seeker was inspired with the promise of
better times for himself and family and
with the hope of a more prosperous life.
The day was bright and sunny, exempli
fying the boomers' expectations, and the
weather was warm and pleasant. It is not a
genial feeling which pervades the speculat
ing throng. The feeling there is one of bit
terness against everything. The specula
tors are "kicking, and kicking hard," In
the first place, the rulings of the Land
Office governing the filing of holders' declar
atory statements "is dead against them,"
as they express it.
The ruling forbids the filing of more than
two claims one in the filer's name and
another under a power of attorney. Again,
they find fault because their chances of
speculation are reduoed almost to a mini
mum by the scarcity of money among the
boomers.
Gamblers Taking All the Loose Change.
If they are not to have anyone to sell to,
how are they going to speculate? they ask.
They object, too, because the gamblers are
driving such a thriving trade and are get
ting away with so much boomer money
which might be hotter used in the purchase
of land from some kind speculator, and so
their lot is not a happy one.
With the legitimate boomer, however, tne
case is much different. He is in high
feather. The Land Office has guaranteed
him against illegal speculation. He has a
fair field and no favors. Each one stands as
good a chance to secure a home as any
other. There have been many rumors and
some charges tbat this won't be a fair deal
at the Land Office, but It is not believed the
rumors can be verified or the charges sus
tained. There has been talk of a fraudulent forma
tion of the line before the Kingfisher Land
Office, but snch does not. seem to have been
the case. The line is made up of a lot of
people who have been holding their places
for some days. They have become well ac
quainted with one another and are on
friendly terms, but there does not appear
any evidence of conspiracy among them.
They have been given numbers by Mar
shal Crimes, who is Included in the conspir
acy charged. That has been done simply to
keep the line in order as at other offices dur
ing land openings of this character.
No Easter Bonnets on the Border.
Easter Sunday were generally observed by
the boomers gathered on the border. With
nearly every colony of boomers there Is
either a clergyman or some divine who can
perform relisious duties, and services were
held by them all along the line. There were
no Easter bonnets or bright spring suits
among the devotees, but those attending the
services were, doubtless, quite as devout as
their more fashionable metropolitan
brethren and sisters.
The services were quite as simple and
plain, as tbe costumes of the worshipers.
There were no offertories, Easter carols',!
choruses nor anthems, simply the singing of
some' old familiar hymn. The soft sward of
the border land took the place of cushioned
pews, and the tail board of a prairie schooner
was used as a substitute for a carved
pulpit.
The congregations were generally large.
Many attended by force or habit or duty,
while others were there from mere curios
ity. The singing of an opening hymn at tho
services on the border west of the town dis
turbed a party which was losing its money
rapidly to a three-card monte man. The
players left the game, strolled to the out
skirts of the crowd of worshipers, and curi
ously observed the services. Some re
turned to the game while others remained
at "church."
In this place the services were largely at
tended at all the churches. The worldly in
clined, however, found plenty of opportuni
ties to kill time. Quiet gambling games
were running all over town, and those who
could not find quarters fora same on the
quiet established headquarters Just beyond
the borders of the town where they would
be free from Interference.
All Moving Toward the Border.
This afternoon there was a general move
toward the border by those who have been
waiting here for the opening to commence.
They will travel by slow stages, so as to
reach the border by Monday evening with
out their changing horses, which every one
desires to be as fresh as possible on the
morning of the grand rush.
All the land is full of the boomer and his
white-topped waeon. On the way here by
railway one begins to see the land-seekers
soon after leaving Caldwell, Kan. The
wagon trains through the Cherokee ttrip
to Oklahoma parallel the Rock island Rail
road, and looking out of the car window one
is sure of seeing at almost any stage of the
Journey, a moving prairie town.
The southbound wagons can be seen for
many miles crawling along the bald prairie.
There are all sorts of them prairie schoon
ers, buckboards. buggies, spring wagons
and there are pilgrims on horseback and
afoot, some of with no more goods than the
clothes they wear, others driving bunohes of
fat cattle before them. And every now and
then a northbound outfit is seen got tired
of waiting and started back home. There is
an air ot disgust surrounding every one of
these northbound outfits, that may be per
ceived at 10 miles' distance.
The further south the thicker are the
boomers. At the Oklahoma line they are
almost as thick as the prairie dogs, and the
prairie dogs are very, very thick. These
prairie- dogs are so impudent that they
build their towns Irrespective or railway
lines or Federal laws against settlement in
Indian lands. Many a boomer about noon
on Tuesday will come to grief over these
prairie-dog towns. A horse that steps in a
dost burrow will not stop falling insldo of 100
yards.
A Town Soon to Be Deserted.
The crowds here are generally quiet and
orderly. They are growing thinner hour by
hour as the day for the opening approaches,
and by to-morrow night there will be no one
in town but the land officers and those who
are in line waiting to fill their declaratorles.
Horses are going up in value as the rush
increases to get to the border for the nice.
An ordinary cow pony with gothic hips and
a preponderance of malevolence in his
disposition, costs $40, while any kind of a
road horse cannot be looked at for less than
$100. "No horse, no claim," Is the cry of the
horse traders, and in most cases they get
their fat prices.
To-day has been one of preparation and
anticipation. The devout people spent the
morning at Easter service at tbe churches.
Others were making ready to pull out for
the border, while still others passed the
time playing the "sure thing" games, .which
abound in all parts of the town.
The newspaper men who returned .from
various points on the border to-day report
that there are fully 23,000 people there or on
their way who will participate in the rush
for homes Tuesday. There are about 3,600,
000 acres of land available for settlement
which would give each of 20,000 people one
claim, thus leaving 8,000 who must either go
without or take up a to wn-sito claim.

mind was gone.
A week ago she was missed from her home,
and four days later men who bad been
searching found her in the woods! evidently
having suffered much from exposure and
hunger. She was brought here, adjudged in
sane and taken to Weston. It is reported
that her wedding day had been set before
the opening of the revival, and the time la
not far distant. Her friends are greatly dis
tressed. xNOT A VERY DRY DAY.
SIDE DOORS OF NEW YORK SALOONS
OPEN TESTERDAY.
Not Such Open Violation of the Excise
Laws As There Used to Be But Few
Men Had to Oo Dry Hide and Seek
With the Police.
, New Yokk, April 17. Special. There
may have been a few citizens in this town
to-day, who thirsted and sought in vain for
a drink, but not many. They were the men
without a "pull," or they lacked persever
ance. As a matter of fact, there were ap
parently more saloons doing a aide-door
business than there were two weeks ago.
When the midnight patrol was sent out,
from every station house, special instruc
tions weie given to enforce the exoise laws.
As a result, many of tbe consplonons saloons
were closed. It some parts or the olty it was
a long walk between drinks. It was notice
able that tne saloons with well-deserved
reputations for ignoring tbe excise laws
were nearly all closed.
Saloonkeepers and police played a quiet
little game of hide and seek. Of oourse, one
policeman could not stand in front of all
the saloons on his beat at the same time. In
fact, the police say that 10,000 men would be
needed to keep the saloons olosed in accord
ance with the antiquated blue law. Tbe next
best thing for them to do, therefore, was to
watch the best known offenders. That
meant locked doors nearly the whole length
or Third avenue.
There is a saloonkeeper on this avenue,
some blocks below Fourteenth street, how
ever, who hit upon a scheme that worked.
All day long he stood on the sidewalk in
front of his saloon. His friends stopped to
greet him, singly and In pairs. The conver
sation that followed in every case was
short, and then the speakers adjourned to
the saloon, entering it by the side door,
which he unlocked for them.
Within half a dozen blocks of police head
quarters there were a dozen saloons pros
pering. It was a side-door business, and the
peephole played the star part. Regular cus
tomers were Inspected through it and ad
mitted. Those who were not known stood
little chance of getting in.
Above Twenty-third street, on the East
side, there was indignation because "growl
ers" were not recognized. They were too
evidently an advertisement of business.
The Sun day-at-home beer clubs were foroed
to purohase bottled beer, and It was more
expensive.
THEY CUT THE WIRES.
Every Honr Increases the Danger From the
Rustlers in Wyoming.
CHBVENitE, Wvo., April 17. General John
R. Brooks, at Omaha, commanding this de
partment, has telegraphed Acting Governor
Barker that he has been Instructed by the
Secretary of War to deliver to him the
40 odd cattlemen now at Fort McKinney.
No news has been received from Johnson
couuty during the last 2 hours. Many ef
forts have been made to get messages
through, but thev have failed, and it is
thought tbe rustlers have cut the wire to
Buffalo. Governor Barber is much alarmed
and is very anxious to get connection with
Fort McKinney.
It is now generally admitted that the re
moval of the prisoners from Fort McKin
ney to Fort Douglass would be very
hazardous to the tioops and prisoners.
It is certain the rustlers will try to
kill them on the way. Every hour adds more
serious aspect to tbe situation. The friends
of the imprisoned cattlemen are certain
they cannot get Justice anywhere in the
State of Wyoming, except in this city. Gov
ernor Barber has 'not notified General
Brooks where ha will receive the prisoners
now at Fort McKinney. iPubllo sentiment is
rapidly turning in favor of tbe rustlers.

Her, and Now She's Crazy.
New York, April 17. Mrs. Mary Brown a
comely woman, 30 years old, who lived in
Newark, was yesterday committed to the in
sane asylum at that place. It is supposed

conscience. Three years ago her husband

ianchard, a watohman on the Erie Rail
road for enough money to take blm to Ire
land. She consented to this arrangement,
and has lived with Blanchard since then.

got his money.
Last Monday the woman began to act
strangely, and yesterday while Blanchard
was returning with her from the dispensary
she broke away from him, ran into a vacant
lot, where she hung her prayer beads on a
tree, and began to pray loudly for forgive
ness for her sins, Blanchard caused her
an est, and the police surgeon pionounced
her insane. She has no children.

themselves to a confe $, ouse of
Mr. Bliss, in their eVV-,'',"-.
gation from New York fortnelWjr J
Through Chairman Hahn, of the Repai'df,
State Committee of Ohio, and through ex
Governor Fire Alarm Foraker, of Ohio,
overtures have been made to prominent
Bepublicans throughout this State suggest
ing to them the willingness of the friends
of Governor McKinley to form a combina
tion which should assure to the New York
men the naming of the candidates ior Vice
President and the control of the Federal
patronage for the State.
Since the Alger boom collapsed into
vacuity the friends of Governor McKinley
have made renewed efforts. The ticket
which they would like to see is McKinley
for President and Whitelaw Eeid for Vice
President.
Only a Compliment to Bliss.
It was a pleasing compliment to their
host, for the gentlemen who were gathered
at the house of Cornelius N. Bliss, to sug
gest his name for Vice President, but the
real efforts of the McKinley men are di
rected to induce Mr. Beid to permit the
joining of his name for the second place on
the ticket. This Mr. Beid has not yet con.
sented to do, and it is doubtful If he will
take part inany such movement.
Several of tbe Republican leaders In the
Legislature have been sounded in regard to
the delegates to the National Convention.
It was suggested to them that Mr. Depew
would be a good man for the second place,
but ther all knew that Mr. Depew under no
circumstances was a candidate, and they so
told the emissaries from Ohio.
President Harrison is not strong with the
Republicans throughout the State, the ma
jority of whom would be glad to get Mr.
Blaine if he would accept. Governor Mc
Klnley's friends assured the New York men,
to whom they broached tbe subject, that
McKinley was already
Sure of Strong Northern Support.
In ht3 own State, beside his personal
strength, he has the Foraker following,
which is opposed to the administration on
account of the aid Secretary Foster and
other Federal office holders gave to Senator
Sherman in his re-election over ex-Governor
Foraker.

reports of Governor McKiijIoy's friends, are
for him as tbe strongest and most available
man 'to deteat President Harrison. Their
efforts are now tnrned to get votes from
New York. They feet that with New York
they will have the majority or the
delegates from the Northern States, and
that they can divide the West, leaving tbe
administration with its greater strength in
the South.
In the groplngaround fora candidate with
whom to oppose President Harrison's re
nomination, the anti-administration men
are gradually 'centering on McKinley, and If
they can get the aid or Thomas C. Piatt, they
think they will have reasonable prospects
of success.
ALL READY AT HARRISBURG
For the Reception of the Delegates to the
State Convention Quay's Will To Bo
Law Judge Dean Considered a Win
nerOne Selection Hard to Make.
Harrisburg, April 17. Special. 1 To
morrow afternoon Lieutenant Governor
Watres, Chairman of the Republican State
Committee, will establish headquarters at
the Loohiel Hotel, and during the evening
Senator Quay will hang up his hat at the
same hostelry. He will remain until after the
Republican State Convention on Wednes
day. The delegates will begin arriving
to-morrow, and indications point to a large
gathering of Bepublicans from all parts of
the State.
Senator Quay's word will he law, and
what he wants it will be the pleasure of the
convention to give him. As it looks now
he will keep up the show of taking no part
in the contests of tbe several candidates, but
his henchmen will do his bidding.
Judee Dean, or Blair county, is likely to
be the nominee for Supreme Jndgn. Albert
Sadler, of Cumberiaud, is a close second.
Dean stands tbe better chance of success
before the convention because he is in a
Republican district and Sadler is not. Sena
tor Quay's eye is upon the future, and his
Influence will go with the candidate who
can help him in the make-up or the next
Legislature, Dean is also said to have
certain other strong backing that will bo of
use to him in the round-up this week.
Judges White, of Indiana: Archbold, of
Lackawanna, and Henderson, or Crawford,
will each have a small following, but Dean
and Sadler are the leaders and ono of them
will be nominated.
Quay is coquetting with A. L. Taggart, the
granger member or the Assembly, and Gen
eral William Lilly, the rich coal operator or
Carbon county, in the scramble ror Con-gressman-at-large
from Eastern Penn
sylvania, but it Is pretty uncertain which
consideration will weigh heaviest in the
final scale of the Senator's Judgment Lilly's
cash or Taggurt's pull with the farmers.
Major McDowell, of Mercer, will bo the
nominee ror Congressman-at-large from
Western Pennsylvania.
There are a dozen names mentioned ror
delegates and electors-at-large, but those
places are likely to bo filled without much
friction.
Harrison Is sure to be indorsed for tho
Presidency, and the delegates may bo in
structed. Senator Quay, C. L. Magee and all the
other party lights havo ensaged rooms at
the Lochiel. '
GORMAN IN F00R HEALTH.
He Isn't Likely to Go to Chicago as a Dele
gate This Time.
Baltimore, April 17. "The chances are that
Senator Gorman will not be u delegate to the
National Democratic Convention,andit is not
likely he will continue as a member or the
National Committee from Maryland. If Sen
ator Gorman wishes to go as a delogate the
State Convention will send him, but he has
expressed no wish this time to be sent."
This is what a olose personal and political
friend of Senator Gorman said to-day.
"Of course," he-continued, "Senator Gor
man will be in Chicago when the convention
meets. As a member of tne National Com
mittee he will go there several days in ad
vance. The reason Senator Gormon wilt not
continue as a member of the National Com
mittee is that he is physically unable to
stand the labor and strain that would be
upon blm in tbe Presidental campaign."
Jerry Simpson Talking Free Trade.
Giurroir, W. Vjl., April 17. A large and
enthusiastic gathering of farmers listened to
Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, in the Opera
House yesterday. He pitched Into the Re-
publican doctrine of protection, and said
that the more tbe farmers were protected
the poorer they got. He was glad the Dem
ocrats of the House had placed wool on the
free list, and hoped the time was not far dis
tant when there would be absolute free
trade. He favored Government control of
tbe railroads and telegraph systems, and
said tbat from the flattering reports received
from the West and South he felt sure the ag
riculturists would hold the balance of power
lu tbe next House.
SENATOR QUAY UNDER COVER.
While Republican Leaders Look All Over
Philadelphia for Him He Has a Quiet
Sunday at Atlantic City Allegheny Poli
ticians Mystified by His Actions.
Philadelphia, April 17. Special
Senator Quay la not in the city, as far as
outward signs go, and has disappeared from
publio sight in Washington. The custom
ary evidence of his coming, in the shape of
advisory telegrams that made appointments
with oertaiu Bepublicau leaders, was plenti
ful enough to-day, but the sole material fact
that the Senator was not far away rested in
his son, Richard R. Quay, who turned up at
tbe Stratford early this evening.
Stater Treasurer Henry K, Boyer, Linn
Hartranrt, and City Chairman Porter were
or Dick's party, and arter dining together
they adjourned to Mr. Quay's rooms.
j'My rather lett Washington for Philadel
phia Saturday evening, before I did," said
J)ick, "and if be Is not here I havo no idea
kwherehels. You see I have Just comeback
wfrom Atlantic City, where my friend, John
Glenn, is quite sick, and this inquiry about
ijther curt be answered by any knowledge
'O earr and Marshy NonDlased.
' W . l H. McCleary, Sheriff of Allegheny
counv.uid John Murphy, the public safety
chief of Allegheny City, are at the Laf
ayette, on their way to attend the Repub
lican State Convention at Harrisburg. They
arrived from Pittsburg this evening,
and the Sheriff had a telegram from Senator
Quay naming 8 o'clock as the hour for a con
ference with him. He failed to make the
appointment, as Mr. Quay did not satisfy his
side of the contract.
"I don't understand it at all," said the
Sheriff, "but may catch on later." This with
a smile that showed he understood more of
the situation than he cared to have known.
Alderman John Grlpp.Dr. A. iE.McCandless
and Vincent Stevens were In Sheriff Mc
Cleary's party, and none of them seemed to
caie about leaving tbe hotel, but took to
their rooms very early for an Allegheny
delegate who takes anything on Sunday.
"You see we like to be quiet," observed
Chief Murphy. "Nothing like a quiet time,
and any othr consideration does not hold
on a day like this. Guess we will go down
to Atlantic City to-morrow." But Murphy
said that in a very sly way, even for
Mnrphy.
The Senator's Sunday at Atlantic City.
Atlantic City is where Senator Quay passed
his Sunday, while the leaders not in the
secret were hunting high and low for him in
the city. The Senator came in late Saturday
night, and took the first train down this
morning. Colonel Frank Willing Leach, ex
Collector David Martin, Magistrate Durham
and Jake Wildermore are understood to
have comprised tbe Sunday conference, and
will distribute conclusions along with the
convention orders to-morrow.
Treasurer Boyer and City Chairman Porter
stuck close to Dick Quay, la order to avoid
publicity of the general scheme, and the
plan appeared to work nicely. They all re
turned to town this evening very late. Dil
igent search for Mr. Quay railed, of course,
to locate him anywhere in the city. Not a
candidate could be discovered or uncovered.
Among tbe callers at the hotels the city
visitors were conspicuous by their absence,
and until evening there were no signs of the
workers who invariably stand around when
the Senator gets to town. There will De
plenty of onance to meet Mr. Quay to-morrow
morning, as he is expected to be at the
Continental Hotel until evening, when ho
leaves for Harrisburg.

An Extraordinary Bolting Flan Proposed
by a Democratic Paper.
Denver, April 17. The Rocky Mountain
Newt (Democratic), in its leading editorial
to-morrow, will put forward a silver plan of
campaign to be followed should Cleveland
or an equally pronounced "gold bug"
be nominated. It says: "There
are thousands or l.epnollcans In
Colorado who will not vote ror narrlson, and
thousands who will not vote ror Cleveland;
yet, driven from their own parties by nomi
nees wearing the yoke of Wall street,
they will be disinclined to vote for the nomi
nee of the Omaha convention, who, though
sound on silver, will also represent
so many isms that their judgment cannot
assent to them. Let the Democrats in their
State Convention, if the action at Chicago
shall force it, nominate electors pledged to
voto against Cleveland and for such free
coinage Democrats as Senator Morcan, of
Alabama, and Congressman Bland, of
Missouri."
It urges that this course be pursued by
the Democrats of Colorado. California, Mon
tana, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, Washing
ton and Oregon, also by those of Kansas, Ne
braska and certain of the Southern States.
By this course the integrity of the Demo
cratic organizations will be preserved and
the election for President thrown into the
House, in which event the free coinage can
didate would ultimately be elected, and that
the free coinage sentiment produced by
such a canvass would Insure the election of
a free coinage Congress.
QUAY'S GBEAT PULL.
His Majority Would Be 200,00 if the Vote
Was Direct.
Hakrisbttro, Pa., April 17. At the present
rate of voting of the Republicans or the
State upon the United States Senatorial
question, Senator Quay's majority over Dal
zell will be moie than 200,000 when the re
turns are all made up. In the nine counties
which have already voted on the qnestion,
the total vote for Senator was 52,928. In these
same connties the Republican vote for Pres
dent Harrison was 06,076. In that year the
Republicans of the whole State cast in round
numbers 520,000 ballots.
IT the ratio is maintained in the remaining
counties oT the Commonwealth, the popular
vote on tho United States Senatorship will
be 422,357.
Of the 52,923 ballots already cast for Sena
tor. Qnay has received 32,726 and Dalzell
8.613. It is reasonable to assume that the
above ratio, which U made up or nine coun
ties from all parts or the State, would be a
ratr basis for an estimate of the votes yet to
be cast, nenco, if the total 422,357 votes that
are likely to be cast for Senator are divided
in the proportion that has actually been
made in nine countici. Senator Quay will
have 312,923 and Mr. Dalzell 110,432 in the en
tire State. Thnt would give the Senator the
overpowering majority or202,493.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, April 17. Bev. Dr. D8
Costa, of the Protestant Episcopal Church
of St. John the Evangelist, at "Waverley
Place and "West Eleventh street, preached -to-day
on the susceptibility of the fallen
humanity to moral and spiritual regenera'
tion, and said that often the more degraded'
a person has become, the more readily hs
will accept moral and religious teaching
and be converted by it. '
"Within a few days." said he, "there has
been an illustration of this in an individual t
represented as one of the wickedest women!
in New York; a woman so fallen that there
were those who felt themselves at liberty to
regard her as hopeless, to make sport of her
sin, plunge her lower down and to jump
on her. Yet there was a tender spot'
in that poor woman's heart, a sense of x
shame, and a desire for something' better.
Hence, when one went to her abode, intrc
ducing himself as an ambassador of Christ,
he was kindly and courteously aye, gladly j
received, and when the subject of her
mother was brought up, recalling tender '
memories of the past, memories of a lost
home, a once sweet life, of Sunday sohool
days and church-going, this woman gave
way to convulsive sobs and shed tears of
bitter repentance.
Prayers In the Leap Fros Parlor.
"Then, when the time came she thank- '
fully accepted the invitation to assemble ,
her entire household for prayer, and in the ,
very parlors, only a few days before the i
scene of distinguishing orgies, the Mag-'
dnlenes humbly knelt and, in plaintive
tones, there went up the prayer. 'Forgive , i
us our trespasses: Lord have mercy upon ua
miserable sinners. " i
This passagn brought to the minds of Da t
Costa hearers Dr. Parkhurst's visit to Ilattie
Adams' house in Twenty-seventh street, but
Dr. De Costa would not admit to a Dispatch
reporter that he was the hero or the story,
or that Mrs. Adams' house was referred to in "
his sermon, but Mrs. Adams said frankly .
to-night that Dr. De Costa had called at her
house a little more than two weeks ago.
"He came at about 3 o'clock In tbe after
noon," said Mrs. Adams, "and sent in his
card, just as any gentleman should do. I
was a little surprised when I saw that
another minister had come to see me, and I
did not know but that all the parsons in the
city had been soized with a sudden desire to
call nt my house. This was not long after
Dr. Parkhurst's visit, and atjustbout tho
tlmo I had been served with thts$aper3 in
those dispossess proceedings.
Dr. De Costa Acted as a Gentleman.
"But Dr. De Costa behaved like a perfect
gentleman. He did not send oat for beer,
and be did not ask for any particular board
ers. He was alone. 1 saw him in the parlor,
and he talked very kindly to me. He said
he did not believe in Dr. Parkhurst's meth
ods, and thought that society of his was
trying to turn mo out Into the street. He
talked to me about a quarter or an hour, and
then asked me if I would pray with him and
have my household come in and pray, too." !
"Did you weep when he talked to yoa
about your mother?" tho reporter asked.'
Mrs. Adams smiled. "I don't remember of A
his saying anything about mymother, but I i
did not weep." ti
-iry". wranaipjfJcuTunis uusbjui-
camto lnj--
"I called In everyone, and all tbe servants,
too. Everyone in the bouse was there. Dr.
De Costa asked us to Join in saying tho
Lord's prayer with him, and we did. Then
ho offered another prayer, asking to be for
given for his sins and asking that we all be
forgiven for ours. Then he blessed ns alft
and went away."
"Did he speak toanyone besides you?"
Willing to See Her Well Housed.
"No; he spoke to no one. Before he went
awny he said he would be glad to do any
thing he could for me, but I did not want
nim to do anything. He said that if Dr.
Parkhnrst succeeded in turning us out, wa
should come to him and he would find ac
commodations lor us."
"Well, ir you are dispossessed, will you
taue him at his word!"
"No, indeed: if I am dispossessed I know
where to go. I don't have to ask help of any
man. Of course, if Dr. De Costa wants to
come here and pray I have no objections to
make, and I did not say anything about his
being here. But as long as he has told of it
himseir, it is none or my business to keep IB
quiet."
Mrs. Adams said that if ministers must call
on her she preferred to have them come
openly rather than in tho disguise of Western
reprobates.

The strike which has been in progress at

Cumberland, W. Va.; Leetonia, East Liver

The strike was not lifted without some de
termined opposition on tho part of several
delegates.
The strike has been a long and bitter on
for both sides. The strike was declared be
cause there were several non-union men
workins in the pottery. It threw 123 mon
out of employment hero. A boycott was also
declared on the pottery by the local assem
bly, which was in the K. of L. at the time,
bnt was lifted over a vear ago. Tho strike
was to have been lifted abont a year ago,
but difricnlties arose and they had to bo
straightened out before the strike could be
declared off.
At that time the Western potters, who were
In the U. B. or O. P., wanted the strike de
clared off, bnt met with opposition from Dis
trict Assembly No. 160, K. of L, bnt they
finally decided that they had no Jurisdic
