QUAY COUNTY SQUELCHED
Governor Hastings Vetoes the Menace
to Luzerne.
THE GARB BILL APPROVED
ProhoMy Due to tho Praotlcal I'nnnlmlty
with Which It Pinned tho legislature.
Various Other Mcnsuros Ro
uelving Governor's Autograph.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Hnrrlsburg. Pa., June 27. Governor
Hastings signed the religious garb bill
tonight and vetoed the Quay county
bill. He also disapproved the bill giv
ing the auditor general the sole power
of appointment of mercantile appraisers
In Philadelphia and eleven other bills,
many of which are local In their char
acter. The governor's ncilon on the
new county measure was expected, but
It was not thought that he would ap
prove the garb bill. He gives no rea
sons for his action on this measure. It
Is said, however, by those close to him
that its approvul is due to the practical
unanimity with which It passed the leg
islature. This Is construed by the gov
ernor to mean that the sentiment over
the state Is In favor of the measure.
The bill imposes a penalty upon school
boards employing teachers who wear
any religious murk, divas or Insignia
i in the school room.
Governor Hastings sayii, In support of
his disapproval of the bill which pro
posed to create the new county out of
portions of Luzerne and Schuylkill, tiiat
after a careful consideration of the
measure he has reached the conclu
sion that It Is without merit and that
there seems to be no necessity for tlu
legislation. He believes It would be ex
ceedingly onerous and oppressive to the
taxpayers of the district contained
within the new county limits and that
the taxpaylng population of the dis
trict is not sufficiently l.rg to warrant
the expense of erecting public buildings
and paying the cost for the administra
tion of county affairs. "Those who will
be called upon to pay the taxes are at
most unanimously against the meas
ure," the governor adds, "and while
some inconveniences miy obtain at
present for a part of the population to
reach the county eeat at Wilkes-Barre,
It is Incomparably less Important than
the serious burdens that will b Imposed
upon the taxpayers If the bill were to be
approved."
The governor says in conclusion that
the act Is applicable to a single locality
and Its constitutionality Is more than
doubtful.
AT THE GOVERNOR'S DESK.

rations are being made by the Indians
on the Crow reservation for a reunion
of all tho tribes Iti the Northwest on
July 4 and 5. At least 4.000 Indians
are expected to take part In the cele
bration of the nation's birthday. For
several years past the Crow Indians
have been holding their annual re
union on the Fourth. The war de
partment has Intimated that the nn
nuiU gathering of the red men, even
for the purpose of celebrating the In
di.pendenceof the United States, Is not
conducive to any betterment of their
condition.
The Indians, learning of their oppo
sition of tlu great father, President
Cleveland, are gathering In large num
bers, believing this may be their last
apportuulty to get together and enjoy
themselves In their way. So they are
going to mnke a demonstration, eat dug
soup, Indulge In their barbaric and seml
rellglous dances, and generally have a
high i'ld time.

Length.
New London. Conn., June 27. The
two-mile boat race between the fresh
man crews of Yale, Harvard and
Columbia was rowed this morning on
the Thames mid was won by Yale by
about a boat length In ten minutes and
twenty-eight seconds; Harvard was
second, and Columbia third, sixteen
lengths behind the winner.
The otlicial time at the various points
of the race was:
Half-mile Harvard, 2.1S; Yule, 2.20;
Columbia, 2.25.
Flrft mile Yale, 4.W; Harvard, 5;
Columbia, 5.13.
Second mile and finish Yale, 10.2S;
Harvard, 10.3;): Columbia. ll.lS'fc.
The referee, Guy Richards, coon after
lined up the crews, while the veteran
timer, Adee. rtood beside him to do
ollk-ial timing. At 10.35 o'clook the
usual warning rang out: "Gentlemen,
are you ready?" Kvery one of the
brawny arms stretched to the oar, and
In a command came the command
"Go," and they were off.
Harvard first caught the water,
Columbia next, while Y'ale, In the mid
dle course, was sugglug back of Har
vard on the Groton side, and Columbia
on the New London side, pulled each
a length ahead within six strokes. This
order was brk't. however. Harvard,
after her short starting strokes,
squared away In an effort for the lead.
Iiefore a quarter-mile had passed she
was rowing at forty strokes to the min
ute, gaining on Y'ale, while Y'ale had
overhauled and was leading Columbia
by an equal distance. As yet there was
no clear water between the shells, and
the onlookers all cheered the racers.
Kntering the second half of the first
mil Columbia's row caught a crab and
broke the fastening bar of his rowlock.
He was hardly able to pull his weight.
There was distress also In Yale's boat,
No. 2 was losing his lirst wind. No. 4
In Harvard's shell was bucking his oar.
The crimson crew was "saw-teething"
from side to side in ragged form.
Thence the race wan Yale's. The mar
gin grew from the first mile flag. No. 2
in Yale's boat had "gained his second
wind," and was again getting his buck
:o bear on the oar with some power.
Harvard''? men had dropped their
stroke to a weary swing at 32 and 34
strokes. Columbia w'a losing every
moment. Her bow frequently unshipped
his oar, and his comrades had to carry
his dead weight until he was able to
replace the blade In position.
The closing of the race, viewed from
a distance where the distress In neither
of the leading shells was evident, was
close and spirited. The nearness of
Harvard to Y'ale kept alive the crimson
hope of a winning spurt. It was not In
the boat, however, and Yale went over
the two-mile and finish line In 10 min
utes and 23 seconds from the start.
Harvard crossed In 10.33, ft length be
hind, while Columbia with a disabled
outrigger finished In ll.Wfi from the
start, about sixteen lengths behind
Yale nnd fifteen behind Harvard.

Los Angeles, Cal., June 27. Clinlrmnn
Gould of the Democratic r.tate central

nnower to a request from the latter that
the slati- Democratic committee be con
vened for the purpose of calling a con
vention of the Democratic party to
take u 'position on th'! r.liver question.
Mi. Gould says in part:
"I cannot now see how It will be
practicable to call togeth'T a conven
tion In this state whose conclusions
could supplant the position tai;en by
our party last fall links primaries nnd
county conventions be held, which
course I urn sallsll.'d would not meet
with popular favor. A Democratic
state convention met last f ill In Kan
I'YanolK.io as numerous, ns aide, and as
representative as uny that ever as
sembled In California. That conven
tion announced the position of the
party on the silver question, a. on other
mutteis then deemed to be Impo-tant
political Issues, und I cannot but con
sider It rather presumptuous no n p
resentatlves to be selected ar.d no mans
of bringing any Issues before the public
existing except by adopting resolutions
for me or the central committee to
assume that the solemn declaration
made by our last convention, that con
vention which brought this committee
Into existence, was a blunder, nnd that
another convention rhould be called by
us to rectify that error."
Indianapolis, June 27. Thomas Tag
gart, chairman of the Democratic
state committee, has refused to call a
convention to consider the silver ques
tion. He says it would be Injudicious to
hold a convention of that Kind. "We
don't want to go into the convention
next year split up on the money ques
tion, but 1 know the sentiment of the
state committee Is against a conven
tion." GYPSY ELOPEMENT.

Rye, June 27. Arthur Stanley, a mem
ber of the Stanley tribe of gyp-ies, has
eloped with Missouri Wells. She Is 10
years old and the daughter of William
Wells, the head of nother tribe. Stanley
Is a leader In his tribe. There has been
a bitter feeling between the two tribes
for some time, and as their course ap
peared to conflict they were continu
ally having differences.
Arthur Stanley and the daughter of
Chief Wells apparently took no part
In the differences, and some time today
left here on a steam launch. They were
taken to Urldgeport, Conn., hut Chief
Wells had discovered the flight of his
daughter before she wau long gone ard
had Invoked the aid of the authorities
to arrest her.
The Bridgeport police caught the run
away couple. The particulars of what
took place at Bridgeport are not known
here. Chief Wells Is still absent. The
young couple are now said to be 4n
Greenwich, Conn., Just across the stale

tribe there Is much feeling over the mat

He nd(f: "There Is no question or
doubt about the epidemic In the city
being identical with that which Inst
year caused such mortality In Hong
Kong nnd In Canton and other south

Chow It Is Impossible to Institute any

the spread of contagious diseases, or
