PRESS BUREAU ALARMS THEM Alleged Iramatie Story Concerning the Secret Doings of the Administration News Bureau- legitimate Cam paign Work .Magnified. Special to the Srranton Tribune. Philadelphia. July 9.-A very weird and alleged dramatic story ha9been go Inft the rounds of the Quay and Demo cratic press during the past three days concerning what Is known as "The Ad ministration News Pureau." In this city The story, which was written In the Quay headquarters, in this city. Is to the effect that two well-known news paper men of the state have been en gaged In secretly sending to the coun try newspapers circulars attacking Sen ator Quay. The falsity of the story lies In the fact that while newspaper articles reflecting on Senator Quay's political career have been sent out from press headquarters of the administra tion in this city there has been no at tempt at secrecy whatever. When it came to the knowledge of Governor Hastings' friends that Sena tor Quay, as long ago as three weeks, had commenced sending out newspaper attacks on Governor Hastings from his news bureau a plan was formed to counteract It by establishing a press headquarters, devoted to the Interests of Governor Hastings. William Rus sell, of Philadelphia, was placed In charge of that part of the work relat ing to the distribution of news matter. Thread of the Amuiinc Tnle. The newspaper articles In question charge that Colonel Henry Hall, of Pittsburg, and Colonel George Nox Mc Cain, of Philadelphia, have been seen carrying armfuls of papers nnd mall from the news bureau box; that a de tective, who hod been placed to watch the box, witnessed this transaction. The fact of the matter Is that while both of the gentlemen-named 'have been in a measure interested In campaign work there have been no such pro ceedings as the Democratic newspapers and Quay organs have alleged. In an Interview at the press head quarters today Mr. Russell stated that neither Colonel McCain nor Colonel Hall had ever been near the news paper box, and that the wild stories sent out by Senator Quay's hired news paper writers were absolutely false. Senator Quay has been sending hun dreds of columns of plate matter to the newspapers of the state, al'though It was strenuously denied by his friends that such was the case. The headquarters of the administra tion bureau are at 24 South Eighth street, where a whole floor has been engaged and a corps of typewriters and amanuenses are at work. There has been no concealment In the matter of the work, which Is of a perfectly legiti mate nature. Senator Quay and his friends began It three weeks ago. The headquarters were opened for the first time on Monday. CONSIDERS US DOUBTFUL. Senator Quay Not Sanqiilne Over Ills Success in Lackawanna. WIIkes-Barre, Pa., July . The hwad quarters of United States Senator Quay at the Wyoming Valley hotel were the mecca of all the politicians of high and low degree today and they came from al! sections of the county. Mr. Quay was asked how he found thirwti politically in Scranton. He re plied: "Well, I found things favorable. The Lackawanna people received me pleas antly at the Wyoming." "How about delegates up there?" "Well, I wouldn't like to My." "Then you consider the number doubtful?" "Well, perhaps." Mr. Quay had no opinion to express regarding the outlook in this county. It was th Intention of Mr. Quay to visit Hazleton before he left the coal regions, but the programme wn changed today and he goes direct to Beaver In the morning. EVERYBODY'S FRIEND. Mr. Qnay Will Not Oppose Judges Wil ls rd or Rice. Wllkes-Barre, Pa., July 9. Senator Quay, who is making a tour of this sec tion, advocating his candidacy for Re publican state chairman. In opposition to State Chairman Ollkeson, was In conference today with ex-Congressman Shonk, ex-Attorney General Pal mer and others. Mr. Quay, when asked for an opinion upon the fight for the control of the party organization In Pennsylvania, simply said that he hoped to win. He, however, repeated a declaration that he would not oppose Messrs. Rice and Wlllard, or any of the other supe rior court judges. The senator left for Hazleton at 1 p. m. Just before leav ing he remarked that he was well sat isfied with the results of his Wllkes Barre visit. IN THE FIGHT TO WIN. Christopher L. Magee'e View of the Situa tion to Rate. Philadelphia, July 9. C. h. Magee, of Pittsburg, who Is opposing Senator Quay In the Republican contest In this state, left Philadelphia tonight for Harrlsburg, where he will meet Gover nor Hastings. Mr. Magee said today: "There Is a good deal of talk about confidence on the part of the Hastings people, but when we say that we are. going to win, we mean It, because our calculations are made on a most con servative basis. The character of the attacks made, on the administration by the Quay newspapers, ' backed by the Democratic organs, in having-its effect on thinking Republican!, and the senti ment awakened is In favor of the ad ministration." TALK OF COMPROMISE. The JTsme of Colonel Watres for Chair man Is Hstaewted. , ,' Harrteburr, July I. The element of the Republican party that la clamoring for peaoe between the) two flihUfig faction Irava renewed aopea that a oentprotsiM will too fe ai xtsi Tha plan Includes the withdrawal of Bank Examiner Gllkewjh as a caidkaite for re-eleotlon aa state chairman, and the acceptance by both factions of ex-Lieu-tenant Governor Watres as Mr. Ollke son's ucoeesor. It is thought also that the death of the latter' wife may go a great way in Influencing Mr. Ollkeson to withdraw ftcm the fight It la not, howuver, thought he will do ao unless Mr. Quay agiieefl to wit 11 raw also, and accept Mr. Watres as the compromise candi date. It Is not known whether or not the Huntings people would be satltftled with such a deal. RULES FOR THE TRIBUNAL. Judges of th superior Court Meet at Philadelphia. Philadelphia. July 9.

' The committee will be occupied wlrtl the work for several days, and the rules will be eubmltted to all of the Judges for confirmation before the opening of the inew court. THAT ALLEtiKU DEAL The Quay-Cameron Managers Hcsortlng to Political Fakes to ltecelve the People. Philadelphia, July 9. In the stuff sent out through the rtate from the Quay literary bureau to those .newspa pers that still adhere to the Junior sena tor's falling fortune. one statement ftn-Js a conspicuous place. Ita absurd falsity plainly shows the desperate straits to which Senator Quay finds himself reduced in his hopeless and un necessary fight against the state ad ministration nnd Republican party. It Is the proverbial straw at which the drowning maa catches. This statement is to the effect that the administration fight le based upon a great political deal, to which Gover nor Hastlr.gs, Senator Cameron and Mayor Warwick, of Philadelphia, are parties, each to receive 'his part of the spoils of victory, that which goes to Senator Cameron being a re-election to the United States senate. This, coming from Senator Quay. Is so ridiculous as to be almost pathetic. It shows that he sees certain defeat staring him In the face, a.nd Is fast becoming reckless. Kvery one who knows anything of the Jr.slde history of the recent struggle knows t'hat It Is being fought In Senator Cameron's Interest. To his political for tunes Senator Quay is tied by bonds he could not break if he would. He Is for Senator Cameron for eemator, and, what is more, he is for Senator Cam eron for Pennsylvania's candidate for president. He has, within less than a month, written a letter in which he says that "If Per.nsylvainila has a candi date for president it would be Senator Cameron." In private and public con versation, while at Harrlsburg fighting apportionment, he stated that he op posed a reapportionment of the state because it would not be to Senator Cameron's Interest to have It done. This was no eecret. Neither Is ad herence to Senator Cameron a secret now. , Cameron In the llnckgronnd. Senator Cameron Is being wisely kept in the background in this contest. No one hears a word from him. die does not figure In It. In fact, it is a eertous question whether fifty Republicans obt of the CC0.000 in the state he has reresented In the senate for Mve past eighteen years could tell whether he Is cow within Us boundaries or in South Carolina. But he is Id the fight Just the same. From him come the sinews of war with which the fight called a fight for Senator Quay's vindication, but In reality one for Cameron's re-election Is being loudly waged. Senator Cameron. Is shrewd enough to eee that he Is In the same boat with Senator Quay. He saw this during the senate fight over the resolution to Lexow Philadelphia when he said, "Quay has got to win this fight. If he Is licked my name la Den nis." He knows now that Senator Quay's defeat In this struggle Is his de feat too, and though carefully kept be hind the scenes he Is on hand at the cash box. It must be humiliating to him, though, to know that those who are fighting his battles are endeavoring to make the people believe 'that 'he Is really hi league with his opponents.

Manufacture of Fertlllicra Will Gain Over $3,000 Per Year by a Secret Change Made In tho' Bill. State College Loaee. Special to tho Scranton Tribune. Hurrlsburg, Pa., Juiy 9. The fertil izer manufacturers doing business In Pennsylvania will save about $3,600 a yeur at the expense of the state col lege by the surreptitious elimination of a clause In a bill passed by the recent legislature and approved by Governor Hastings. The act of June 28, 1879, re quires manufacturers of fertilisers to take out licenses and file an affidavit of sales with the secretary of the com monwealth. An analysis of each brand of fertilizers Is filed with the secretary of agriculture, and the license fee paid to the state treasurer. This arrange ment caused much contusion, and In order to slmplfy the matter Secretary Kdge had a bill Introduced changing the time for taking out the licenses from Aug. 1 to Jan. 1, and providing that all papers should Issue from and be tiled In the department of agriculture. When the bill was under considera tion In the house of representatives on second reading, an ofllcer of the state college used his influence lo have In serted a proviso that the certificates could only be extended after the pay ment of one-third of he license fees of the previous year. This was done because the college receives the li cense fees for making 'the analysis of samples of fertilizers furnished by tho department of agriculture, and If the licenses were extended as was at first proposed, without any additional fees, the Institution would lose about S3.G00 per year. Tho State College Proviso. The act was eent to a committee of conference to eliminate some objection able features and was reported with, the State College proviso all right, but In some manner the proviso was taken' out of the bill before It reached the. governor, and as a result the college loses $3,500 and the manufacturers gain that amount. The college officials are anxious to know how, when and whore the proviso was dropped out. The possibilities are that it was stricken out by some friend of the fertilizer manufacturers during the confusion incident .to ithe closing 'hours of the session. Inasmuch as oth er changes, which were made necessary by the omission of the proviso, were made, it 1s probable that it was taken out during the last day of .the session without the knowledge of the friends of the college. CRUELTY CHARGED. Strange Story Related by a Olrl Who Escaped from a Convont. Pittsburg, July 9.

A week ago he secured the consent of the parents of Harmon Leonard, living In Ravenna, to attempt a seven days' test, during which all the physical functions except the action of the heart were to be en tirely suspended. j During an ordinary seance on June 30 Leonard was commanded by Santo nelll to leave the auditorium In which he was exhibiting and go to a tent that had been erected some hundred yards away and to lie down and sleep. Leonard obeyed Instantly. The tent in whlch'he lay has been open to visitors every day since. At night the subject waa guarded by a young companion, who refused to leave him during the test.

This Is the Kcol Sccrut of tho Present Fight AgainM the State Administration and Colonel (iilkcNon. r'hiladrlt hla, July . Political w r fare within n tj-eat body of thinking men such as compose the Republican pao-ty of Pennsylvania, Is deplorable at all .times; but when war does break out, a Justifiable reason must and will be required by the people. The Republi can party has had war forced upon it. Old lints are being obliterated and life long political associates and workers are in arms against each other. Wliat Is the isr-iue? Cameronlsm. This is tin story in Its smallest com pass. It Is the outbreak of a storm that has been gathering for years In this rtate, and dlpfrulae It aa they will Senator Quay's friends have been com pelled to admit that such is the fact. It Is the mony of J. Donald Cameron that is furnishing sinrws of war for the men who today are fighting the admin istration of Governor Hastings. Behind them In this contest which Senator Quay and ex-State Chairman Andrews are waging, stands the form of United States Senator Cameron. No true-hearted Republican In the state will deny that the senior eenator has for years misrepresented the Ftate. Not only has he. not been In sympathy with Republicanism, as shown by his Vite In the senate on the federal elec tions billj but he has given the piestlge of his name, and that of the great and of his name and that of the great and movements which are as unusual as they are unpopular. Senator Quay desires to secure con trol of the state machinery by being made Its chairman, for the purpose of once more forcing upon the people the election of Senator Cameron, "the silent man of the United States senate." Be sides, he has dictated to the Republi cans of Pennsylvania so long that the Idea of younger men coming into poli tics who will not bow the knee to him Is exceedingly distasteful. He Is now making the flpht of his life for him self, and for J. Donald Cameron. The question now is. shall Cameron suc ceed himself and shall Senator Quay continue to exercise a dictatorial pol icy In the councils of the Republican party In this state. CRUELTY TO A GIRL.
