"les, I waited. 1 waited to hear from President Harrison. Some people said that I wa.ted to hear from him a request to take office that I waited to make a sordid bar Ea.n, that I stood like a road agent 'holding up a coach.

"Will your friends throughout the State support the national ticket as heartily as you willT" I inqulied. "Of course they will,'' the Senator replied. "Sly .friends are Uepublicans.

Captain John B. Kcenan is the nominee from Westmore land. He is chairman of the Westmore land Democratic County Committee, and is not ambitious aside from redeeming the county from the clutch of the Republicans. Senator Sloan, of Indiana, il is safe to sav. will be the nominee Westmoreland is for him. He has also the indorsement of Jefferson and Indiana counties. The district chairmanship will enter into a fight, if there be a fight at alL Ii. A. Mc CuIlout;b, Chairman ol the Democratic County Committee ot Armstrong, is the nominee of that county. He is a cousiirof Austin CJark, the candidate lor District Chairman, and will insist at the meeting that Mr. Clark receive the indorsement lor the oiEce aca'mst William Brennen, of Pittsburg. If this idea doesn't meet the approval of the people then Mr. McCullough may iusist on the nomination goiug to Armstrong.

HAMILTON Caused bj Secretary Charles Choosing the Chicagoan Foster TO HAHDLE MAIX QUABASTIKE MATTERS rrnoM a staff correspondent.! Washington-, Sept. 4. If Dr. Jenkins, the Health Officer o"f New York, is mad on account of a seeming intimation that there is a higher authority than himself to take a hand in the business of quarantining the country againsf the cholera, he has his counterpart in Washington in Dr. Wyman, the Supervising Surgeon General of the Marine. Hospital service. Dr. Wyman took matters in hand at the first report that the cholera might make its debut in the United States from some of the infected ports of Europe, and apparently convinced himself that he was the one person able and authorized to thwart the plague in its dark designs on the life, health and business of the country. While it is not denied that Dr. Wyman exhibited great energy and that he almost excited a feeling of awe in all who beheld him, so .profoundly did he impress his vis itors with his importance, in some way there grew up a lack of confidence in the executive ability of the great surgeon. As it is his belief that ex ecutive ability is his strong point, the doc tor has been much humiliated by the fail ure of the Treasury authorities to put ab solute faith in him. 'fhe Lust Slriw on the Camel's Back. An action of the Secretary ofthe Treasury to-dav, will have something of the same effect on Dr. AVyman as the fabled straw had unon the back of the fabled camel and the man- especially as it is the culmination of a series of incidents that have led up to what is a pretty row among the officials who have charge of the construction of coast defenses against the cholera Last Thurs lay morn ing Secretary Foster had a conference with Dr. Wyman. One result of it was a request from the Secretary, some nliat imperative in its tone, that Wyman telegraph Dr. John B. Hamilton, his predecessor, now stationed at Chicago, asking him to come on to Washington at once lor consultation in regard to the quar antine against the cholera. Dr. Wyman promised to do so, but for some reason for got to send until the lollowing morning. Meantime, the Secretary had taken the precaution to telegraph Dr. Hamilton on his own account, and when the message of Dr. Wyman was put on the wires Dr. Hamilton bad been four hours on the road from Chicago to Washington. Since Dr. Hamilton's arrival recognition ot Dr. Wyman lia been somewhat formal and ultra-official in its nature, am Dr. Hamilton has been called for protracted conferences. Hamilton and Foster in Partnership. As the last straw for Wyman's back, Secretary Foster and Dr. Hamilton de parted together this afternoon at 4 o'clock for New York, for an inspection of the quarantine arrangements, for a consultation nifh'Dr. Jenkins, and, in brief, for the purpose ot gaining a thorough understand ing of the whole situation, the dancers and the possibilities, the hopes and the tears. Ot couise Dr. Wyman feels that it is a mosi extraordinary performance on the part pf the Secretary to choose for his com panion and adviser in this matter one of his (Wyman's) subordinates. It is virtually taking the whole business out of the hands of Wympn and passing it over to Hamilton, leaving Wyman merely the automatic promulgator fof orders that origi nate with Hamilton. Though Wyman l-centinues in his position of supervising Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital service, and though Hamilton be ordered to take special charge of quarantine on the Canadian border, it will be understood from this time on that though the voice is that ot Wyman, the hand is that of Hamilton. Hamilton Slight Sncceed Crnnnse. A report has been put in circulation that Dr. Hamilton is booked for the position of Assistant Secretary ot the Treasury, to suc ceed Judge Crounse, who has resigned, but I have it from the best authority that there is no .truth in the rumor. In that posi tion, '' it is asserted by the ru mor, Dr. Hamilton, would be given sole charge of the entire sanitary regulations for the prevention of the cholera. Dr. Hamilton himself says he would not like to accept the position, as ho has not only his college professorship in hand, but has also built up a tine practice in Chicago, which he would not desire to abandon. One result that is expected from the visit of Secretary Foster and Dr. Hamilton to New York is that any lingering feeling of Eiqne or jealousy that may still be harbored y Dr. Jenkins will be effaced by personal contact with such high official and sanitary authority, and that the most rigid quaran tine that could be desired will be strictly maintained withput further action onthe part of the Federal Government No Cauie for Anv Panic Before leaving for New York Br. Hamil ton assured the correspondent of The Dis patch that there was emphatically no cause lor a panic on account ot the presence ot the cholera at the marine gates of the country. .Nevertheless, he wonld earnestly advise every city and town in the couutry to take the best possible measures for the pre vention of the spreai of the contagion if it should intrude into their midst While there is no cholera on our shores.and while no panic will be created by the pre cautions, it is ihe proper time to provide thorough machinery for dealing with it if should come. Dr. Hamilton would advise not only a thorough oleansing of towns and cities, a rigid inspection of private and public drains by health officers, and a remedy applied w'herever needed, a frequent and copious flushing of the sewers when there is a lack of rains, but also a reasonable prepara tion for the care ot persons at tacked with the disease, if there be any, by the. construction at once of comfortable hospitals of a 'cheap and temporary character.that any chance victim of the contagion may be promptly isolated from all others not so afflicted. As to individuals, his only advice wonld be to be cleanly, to live upon a light, well-cooked, w'holesome diet, being careful to take nothing into the mouth that by any possibility could convey cholera germs into the stomach. He asserts that cholera is not nearly as contagious as most people think nor as several other contagious diseases. How the Germs Get In Their TVork. It is pretty well established that the cholera germs must enter the system through the mouth, and therefore by the medium of thefood or by unclean hands or un clean articles placed between the lips. Every utensil employed in cooking or eating should be placed in boiling water immedi ately before using. Food of all kinds should be thoroughly cooked, but if raw vegetables or lruit be taken, it should be while they are fresh and not long exposed to the air after plucking, and fruit should not be eaten either in a green or an over ripe state. With, simple care, such as every person should give to himself at all times, and with the precautions of the quarantine and a general cleaning up of the towns and cities, and provision tor the isolation of patients the moment they are attacked, Dr. Hamilton is convinced that there will, be very little to fear from cholera this year, or any other year. At the same time, he would prefer to excite concern ratner man ing confidence, which might' ference. . an overween- lead to indlf- ;? &i.Mi .,'L. -,LJttfckJi$fe2ttfe M&iiia2aBaL.,&toa& - V-rTfi- r - , - nfni'1 T :- -, vSffir li1lttYr-.Jfiii?iiB.'1n:r- 11 T, 4ik.;iilto,'- III MT BI0T0US S0LDIEB8 OK A TBAIN;- They Badly Use TJp a Scott dale Man Who Sympathized With Homesteaders. New Castle, Sept. 4. Special. Conductor W. Perry, of the Erie and Pitts burg Railroad, had an experience with some fnrloughed Homestead soldiers which he will long remember. When the train left tor Liuesville, Crawford county, seven members of the National Guard were' on board. Some of them were drunk and at times noisy. 'A gentleman from Scottdale, who sympathized with the strikers, was in the car with the soldiers. At Jamestown, Mercer county, while the train crew were at sapper, the'Scotidalc man made some re marks which angered the soldiers, and in an instant they attacked him. The other passengers ran out of the car, giving the alarm. Conductor Perry ran out ofthe hotel and, boarding the car, soon put a stop to the fight. The man from Scottdale had been knocked down, kicked in the eye and cut ahout the head and face. Conductor Perry took charge of the soldier who did the kicking, and wheu the train arrived at Jamestown the prisoner was handed over to a constable who landed'him in the Mer cer jail. The Scottdale man, whose name could not be learned, is badly injured and had to remain at Jamestown and have his injuries dressed. - THE 0PEBAT0ES' NEW OEDEB.

WILKINSBUBG ATHLETICS A Tennis Tournament Fixed and Several Other Events Under Way. v Tho Wilklnsburg Athletic Association is keeping abreast of the times. Their grounds werenot in shape for athletics until the latter part of May, but since that time very little grass has crown en tbem or under the feet of the association management. A "tennis tournament to decide the champion ship or Wilkinsburg Is being arranged for, to take place on the 15 h. IGth and 17th of this month andhascreated great enthusiasm among the local players and admirers or the game. The entries are confined to Wilkins bmg players, and a large list is expected to conmete in the ladles' doubles and singles, men's doubles and singles and mixed dounles, which will be the events booked. The W.A.A. has enrolled nmong its membeis some very expert wieldera of the racket, Misses Potter and Truby and Messrs, Repp, Perry, Bixler and Leaf -deserving special mention. The W. A. A. ball team has by its splendid work during the latter part or the season become a source of pride to the people who are most liberal In their support and patronage: their victory over the Young Amei leans Friday was a walkover and Justifies the pi ediction that the Tarentums will hardly be In it to-day, when they play two games at Athletic Park, Wilkinburg,' for one admission, beginning at 2:15. A football team has beon organized to play the association game and is leadytomake dates for games as soon as the season opens. Some of the. members are crack plaj era from the mother country and predict more interest in their favorite game'as they play it, than if played according to Bugby rules in this section. CHABLEY MITCHELL'S OPINION. He Thinks No Man Can Stand Before Su'- Hv.in Four Bonnds. TBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, Sept. 4. Copyright. In sporting circles the coming Sullivan-Corbett fight absorbs attention. Corbett naturally has a larger proportion of backers here than In America, and there is quite a strong under curientof opinion that the time has finally come when the champion will meet his fiist defeat. This feeling is bused largely on the impression that the big fellow will be over confident and that he will fsO into the ring in not the best condition. It is generally understood among Corbett's friends here that he will play EUraln's waiting game for at least 10 and ncrbap 14 rounds. Mitchell's opinion, that no man alive can stand up before Sullivan during the first four rounds, lsgonerally held here. It will be another case of trying to tire out' the champion and make him lose his dis oretion and temper. There Is not a great deal of money up on the issue, and betting Is so ir regular that It is Impossible to give prevail ing auotations. Peter Jackson will not ex press an opinion on the result; Ho says he will not challenge the winner, but he stands ready to fight any one.

' "He's the no 'countest horse I have in the sta ble," said Father Bill Daly in answer to a ques tion about Nubian's chances to beat Dr. Has brouck. Milwaukee's new mile track of regulation shape promises to he verv fast. The curves are gradual, with a radius of 421 feet, the s'retches and turns ranging from 60 to 70 feet in width. ' From (200,000,00c to (250,000.000 is lost yearly in the world on the turf, of which from (33.000.0u0 to 150,000,00013 squandered in the United Kingdom. Australia is responsible for (20,000,090 of the amount. The English Iwf Record says that no other thing has done more to reduce the turf to a purely money-making scheme than the practice of sprint racing. In the good old days, when horses were run for the love ofthe snort, a race at less than a mile was a thing unheard of. In those aays horses were bred and trained to run two. three and four miles, and there were many heat-racing events at those distances. Now a horse is trained and nerved up to run a fire-eighths or a three-quarters or a seven-eighths dash, which is only a hustle at the post for the best of the start, a flash and all Is over. The best horse may be way back In the race, unable to get through in time, or forced into the position by a bad start. Sllacellanonas Sporting Notes. Nemo They fought at Mississippi City.
