Philadelphia, Muri-h 7. The Inquirer,
Which is fi ii'inlly ti Si-nutiir Quay, says:
Tin.' most important pulltli-al I'untVr
rncv that bus been held In this city
for the past six yours took ilact last
night ut i: soctvt moetins which was
urratiKed by telegraph foity-plht
hours uso. Those pat ticipatins Includ
ed United States Senator Quay, cx
Uepivsentative Kichurd K. Quay, Sec
retary of State Keoder, ltankiiiK Vom
mlssioner Gilkeson and MaKistrate
Durham. It begun at X o'clock and
lasted until after midnight and a plan
of campaign was arrived upon which
affects both the politics of the city ami
the state. As a result of it a candidate,
whose name Is not to be divulged for u
,1..., ,.,,.. t.., th.i ,.t' !
VIUJ Ul CU, tin 11IT.HK II UI'Vll I-'I .... v.
flee of recorder ofleeds and MaKistrate
Durham was Intrusted with the duty
ot going to Ilarrlsburg and formally
presenting the name to Governor Hast
ings. The meeting developed two other
facts: First, that there will be no in
vestigating coininjttee appointed to look
Into Philadelphia affairs, unless some
entirely unexpected contingency arises,
and. second, that the break between
David Martin and Senator Quay is
permanent.
It had originally been decided that
Senator Quay should meet the party
leaders at Harrlsburg. and as a result
of this there was a general exodus of
Republican politicians to the state capi
tal. But at the last moment this pro
gramme was changed and th Junior
senator resolved to c,uietly meet his
friends In Philadelphia, four other
friends of Senator Quay, who, al
though not present, were represented
by their views. They included Lieu
tenant Governor Walter I.yon and
State Senators W. H. Andrews, of
fr:i wford. Arthur Kennedv. of Alle
gheny, and Boies Penrose, of Philadel
phia. A Strict Party Fight.
These last-named were all kept In
touch with what was going on by di
rect communication with Senator Pen- I
rose. It was decided that from now
on there should be a lively and con
tinuous fight for control and that it
shall be conducted absolutely within
the party lines. In other words,
neither Senator Quay nor his friends
will In any way antagonize Mayor
elect Warwick or his friends. As Re
publicans they desire to see the new
administration a success, both for the
party and for the people. The same
thing applies to Governor Hastings
ami his administration. Xo compact
liu9 been made with Mr. Warwick:
none will be made. Xo compact has
been made with General Hastings.
The mayor-elect and the governor,
however, have given Senator Quay to
understand that neither himself nor tlw
friends of Senator Penrose will be
unjustly discriminated against. Those
friends they have in office will not be
disturbed and they will be given a
fair share of all they are entitled to
In the distribution of future favors.
In return they have not asked either
the city or state administration to
discriminate against any man or set
of men. All they ask is a fair fight
and no favor. As to the dropping of
the proposed Investigation, it was
feared that a portion of the public
might look in on such a move as one
made for political and personal re
1 Venge. Both Senators Quay and Pen
rose are extremely anxious to avoid
and such Impression.
, Precedence for Senators.
One of the things agreed upon with
out being stated Is that slate sena
tors rather than party leaders have
the right to ask favors from the stnt
administration. As a proof of this
It is pointed out that when Klemnx-r
and Sfulb went to Ilarrlsburg last
week they were presented to Governor
'Hastings by Senators Thomas, Beck
er and Penrose. Hence when a Phil
adelphia appointment Is at Issue the
majority of the Philadelphia senators
are presumed to be the persons to
ask for recognition. Five out of the
eight senators from Philadelphia are
for Quay and his friends. Xeed more
be said?
One thing is certain, whatever may
take place in the future, there will be
no personalities and no washing of
dirty linen. The fight will be to con
trol city conventions, to secure a ma
jority of the delegates to state conven
tions and finally to win national dele
gates. The first fight will come on this
fall, when a recorder of deeds, a tax
receiver nnd a coroner are to be nomi
nated. No one underestimates the abil
ity, the strategy nnd the political
strength of Mr. Martin, but the friends
of Mr. Quay are confident that the lat
ter already has half of the town, and
that In a lively light he can easily
control a majority of the delegates.

STATE LNjl'OK LEAIU'K.
Important .Meeting ut Ilarrlsburg Yes
terday. Ilarrlsburg, Pa., March 7. The object
of the league lu session here Is to urge
certain legislation pertaining to the
liquor interests of the state and oppose
the bill Increasing the license lee of
bottlers from $l!l0 to $1,0U0 and other
meusures pending before the legisla
ture. A platform was adopted urging
that subordinate branches be formed
lu every county und expressing the be
lief that by this union great good will
be accomplished In elevating the retail
liquor tratllc and promoting Its Inter
ests; favoring the broadest plan of
liberty necessary to the full enjoyment
of u personal rights being given to all
classes so long as. the exercise of their
rights Is within the limits of the law
and does not conilict with the lights
of any particular class of persons; de
nouncing monopolies of all kinds as
dangerous to the liberties of the people
as fanaticism; denouncing the keeping
of "speak easies" und asking that
municipal governments, law and order
societies and temperance advocates
unite with the league In abolishing
"this alarming and gigantic evil."
The time and place for the next con
vention was left to the executive com
mittee. It will probably be held ut

Ihial stuteiiient this afternoon concern
ing the dispensing by that society with
the services of Henry A. Oakley nH
treasurer ar.d 'the Kev. William A. New
bold as assistant treasurer and necre
tary. The ground of the executive commit
tee's aclloii was, as' to each of them, a
separate accountability for moneys with
which the other" was not Involved. Ac
tion was taken only alter repeated and
solicitous conference with i nch of thein,
extending over a considerable period,
and Willi every opportunity and invi
tation to each of them to relieve him
self and the committee from the sor
rowful conclusion to which the com
mit teee must otherwise lie driven by
the facts. After the report of the sub
committee on lliiauoe had been reud. a
written attempt at exculpation on the
part of Mr. Xcwbold was also read
to the committee, and the fact was
disclosed that Mr. Oakley had already
made a partial restitution. F.noiigh re
mained as to each of thein to make the
action taken, lu the Judgment of those
present, unavoidable.
The deficit amounts to some $1!),000.
Clialrnuin of the finance committee,
George C. White, declined to say
whether or not proceedings would .lie
Instituted against the alleged offender.
Salary Overdrawn SI 'J, 000.
Mr. White said the result of the ex
pert's investigation showed that Mr.
Xcwbold had overdrawn from the so
ciety the sum of Jl'.'.lnit) over and above
all due him for salary, and further
more, that moneys received from Inter
ests and other sources to the amount of
about $7,0110 he has failed to credit on
the books, and the checks for the same
were not deposited in the society's hank
account. Mr. Xcwbold has confessed to
four different members of the society
these defalcations, and we also have 'a
letter written by him confessing his
crime and pleading on the score of
past service for leniency, and claiming
that he was obliged to take this money
to support a large and expensive
family.
Mr. Xewbold lives In n fine place nt
Mount Clair, X. J., which he states to
the press he estimates to be worth $25,
000, and also keeps horses nnd carriages.
The house Is mortgaged for about $11,
000, nnd he has expres-vj his willingness
to deed whatever equity Is In It to the
society. He has been secretary for
twenty-six years, and has always been
most Implicitly trusted by the ofllcers
and members of the board. The expert
accountant has ascertained that for
certainly the past ten years, and how
much longer we don't know, he has
been systematically robblnir the sacred
treasury of the society. Treasurer Qak
ley was present at a private meetlnfg
of the board this evening.

Washington. March 7. According to
a tabulated statement of comparisons
of upproprlatluiia made by the Fifty
third congress as compared with the
aggregate for the Fifty-first and FlCly
second congresses, resepetlvely, the fol
lowing is given. Total appropriations by
tho Fifty-first congress, $'JSS,417,1S3; by
the Fifty-second congress, $1,027,101,574,
nnd by tho Fifty-third congress, $U!I0,
3:iS,C!)l. Mr. Cannon, lor the minority of
the committee on appropriations, says:
"I call attention to the fact that the
appropriations for pensions to the de
fenders of thu republic lu war, und to
their widowti i'lid orphans, by this
congress, under Cleveland, are $42,13,
filtl less than those made by the 'Fifty
second congress the last two yours
under Harrison. This forty-two millions
decrease gives In figures tho tangible
result of nn unfriendly I will go fur
ther and say, unjust administration oT
the pension laws under Cleveland. This
congress has wholy failed to provide
sulllcleiit revenues, while It has in
creased appropriations. In the mean
time the administration hns rejected
every practical effort or the minority to
assist in remedying the evils thut beset
tho treasury."
EXTBA SESSION' POSSIBLE.
President Cleveland Will Cull tho New
Congress In Case of u Klin on tho Treas
ury. Washington, March 7. An evening
paper here publishes thu following
statement, ascribing It to a cabinet of
ficer, who Is not nnmed:
"There Is a general assumption that
It Is definitely decided that there will
be no extra sessions. The decision Is
erroneous. The public Is not aware of
the fact that the president nlmost de
cided last Sunday that there should be
nn extra session. The subject was con
sidered by the cabinet. The Immediate
cause was the sundry civil and de
ficiency appropriation bills. The presi
dent was very much disposed to veto
both of them. At one time he had
nearly decided to do It, but he conclud
ed that It would be better to allow the
country to have rest for a time and to
await the progress of events and not
call an extra session now. But If there
shall be a run upon the treasury gold
und the treasury reserve Hhull be de
pleted In spite of the arrangement
which has been made to protect the
gold, the president unquestionably will
convene the next congress.
I.I HUNG VINDICATED.

London, March 7. A dispatch to the
Times from Tlen-Tsin says,the emperor
of China has completely vindicated LI
Hung Chang from the charges that
were brought against him. He con
fesses that nfter trying others he has
found that LI Hung Chang alone Is
trustworthy. Therefore he grants to
him the fullest powers to treat with
Japan for the restoration of peace.
The rentral government publicly as
sumes the entire responsibility for the
condition of the national defence, which
Is the result of blindness on the pari of
the Chinese to the progress of other na
tions. This action of the emperor places
all future reforms In the hands of LI
Hung Chang.

NEWSPAPER LAWS.
Postofflco lieclslon Makes Their lso
Grounds for Prosecii'lon.
Washington, March 7. Assistant At
torney General Thomas, of the post
olllee department, has made nn Import
ant ruling In regard to so-called "news
paper laws." Mr. Thomas decides that
a publisher who makes a demand for
payment of subscription to his paper
through the malls, accompanying the
demand with a threat of enforcing It
by the use of these pretended laws, may
be prosecuted for attempting to obtain
money under false pretenses, provided
he knows that these laws have no ex
istence as laws or ns Judicial decisions.
Tho so-called laws referred to are
those often promulgated by some news
papers to the effect that subscriptions
to a paper cannot be stopped until full
payment of arrearage has been made
and Unit a publisher may prosecute In

HONOR YOUR PARENTS.
That Was What l ather Dc lloia I rr;cd
Young Men to Do.
The duty that children owe to their
parents was tho subject of tho sermon
of the mission nt St. lVter's cathedral
lust night. The speaker was Rev. Fa
ther De Haza, and his theme was clear
ly and forcibly eloquent.
Hoys should honor their parents by
word nnd action. They should con
tribute to their support, and by keep
ing the commandments of God enkindle
a love that will make a parent's heart
Joyful. Those' boys who cruelly treat
their weak and ugil parents must not
forget that God's arm Is alwnys strong.
Tho curse of God will alwnys follow an
undutlful child.
Father De Huzn urged the young men
to obey their parents If they are living
and pray for them If they are dead.
