IT WILL CONTROL ITSELF
New Tutb of Affairs la the Quay
Hastings Fight.
GILKESON CITTIXG NO ICE
The Situation as Regarded by the Special
Correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record 'Sentiment In Fuvor
of Administration.
Philadelphia. July 10. A special from
HarrUburg to the Record says: "If
the information which has been accum
ulating here from all parts of the state
for the last few days Is true the Re
publican state comentlon will control
Itself, and yield neither to the demands
of the state administration for the
slaughter of Senator Quay, nor to the
appeals of Senator Quay's friends to
control everything in sight. So far as
the drift of sentiment in the state
toward the contest for chairman of the
stite convention Is concerned to use a
current phrase Rank Commissioner
Gilkeson is "cutting no Ice' in the fight.
From nearly every county In the state
Intimations have been received here
that the delegates already elected and
the local Republican leaders who are
likely to control the delegate elections
to be held, desire to avoid any clash
In the state convention. They are in
favor of both Governor Hastings and
Senator Quay.
"This paradoxical statement is easily
explained. The sentiment of the rank
and file of the party In the state, not
excluding Philadelphia and Allegheny
counties, Is crystallising In favor of the
administration so far as to indorse and
sustain the administration of Governor
Hastings and to indorse his appoint
ment of the appellate court Judges by
nominating all of them; by nominating
a neutral temporary chairman of the
convention, by making the governor the
permanent chairman of the convention ;
and having thus fully suslaied the gov
ernor and his friends, to make Senator
Quay chairman of the state committee.
Want to End the FIclit.
"A number of counties have within
the past week elected delegates to the
convention, and Instructed them to in
dorse Governor Hastings' administra
tion, and to sustain the governor, but
it is now known that mostly all these
delegates, under these Instructions, re
gard the Indorsement of the governor to
mean the commendation of his adminis
tration. They do not. regard their In
structions to be unfriendly to the elec
tion of Senator Quay to the chairman
ship of the state committee. Indeed,
Bank Commissioner Gilkeson has
scarcely been mentioned In any of the
contest in any of the counties of the
state, very few of the leaders and none
of the rank and file of the party having
any acquaintances whatever with him
as a factor In party politics.
"Well posted politicians here, who
have looked over the field, predict that
the Republican convention will be a
rather tame affair. The Philadelphia
combine, Mr. Magee, of Pittsburg, and
the governor, who has presidential am
bitions, do not, It is said, regard with
favor this growing Idea of a peaceful
settlement of the existing warfare in
the party, and they have been for eev
eral days endeavoring to again put for
ward the chairmanship of the state
committee as the pivotal position in
the contest, but there is an ominous In
timation from Philadelphia that a great
many of the ward leaders, who are be
ing coerced Into the contest against
Senator Quay, desire to sea the present
conflict settled upon the lines of the ac
quiescence In 'the wish of the desires of
both Governor Hastings and Senator
Quay."
QUAY'S PERSONAL FIGHT.
It Began In Philadelphia but Senator
Quay lias Involved the Entire state
In It.
Philadelphia, July 10. The charge
which Senator Quay and his friends are
making concerning the attitude of
Mayor Warwick and National' Commit
teeman David Martin, of Philadelphia,
Is that they ore political Ingrates. The
very baselessness of this charge is
shown In the fact that this whole con
text In 'the Republican party was preci
pitated by Senator Quay because his
candidate for mayor of Philadelphia,
the Hon. Boles Penrose, did not receive
the nomination.
Mayor Warwick ts under no obliga
tion's to Senator Quay, and never has
been. On the contrary, Senator Quay
did everything- he nosslblv oouM in ie.
feat his nomination and election. As
for National Committeeman Martin,
the charge that he 13 a political Imgra te
to as baseless as the other. It was Mr.
Martin who helped to make Senator
Quay In Philadelphia. He was his
staunch friend for years, but when he
saw-fit 'to give his influence to Charles
F. Warwick as his candidate for mayor,
nothing is too bad for Senator Quay
and his friends to charge against Mr.
Martin.
The people of Philadelphia are thor-ough-ly
In sympathy with Mayor War-
wick ana mr. 'Martin. They believe in
Home Rule. The arbitrary bosslsm of
Senator Quay whereby he chose to dic
tate from hi home in Beaver, or from
his residence in Washington, who should
Or ehOUld not COndURt lh mnnlnlnnl
affairs of 'Philadelphia, ha become
onerous ana burdensome. iMen In pub
lic life hive grown tired of having to
ax to Washington or to Braver tn oat
policemen or firemen appointed to a
pos.'iion in r nuaaeipnia.
Tha present contest Is a Home Rule
oon tefit. There was no reason what
ever why the whole state should have
been Involved tin this purely local affair.
Mr. Ouav thought otherwilso. H urn
111 advised by men who posed as his
friends, but who in reality have been
his worrt encmleu. It Is Senator Quay
n-nd tin one clFe who is ntvtnjilli1 fr.r
thla strife In the Republican; ranks In
Pennsylvania.
MR. QUAY IS HOPEFUL.
Ms Expects to Go Into the Convention
with Seventy :xino Majority.
Philadelphia, July 10. United States
Senator Quay left for hs home at Wea
ver tonight to get a much-needed rest.
He was In excellent spirits and greatly
pleased with tih prospect of a success
ful result of his candidacy for state
chairman and After a careful review of
his two weeks' canvata, unhesitatingly
announced that he will have seventy-
nine majority in the convention out of
2&y votes.
In opeaklng of the matter he said:
"Heretofore I have made neither
claim nor statement. For two weeks,
however, I have given my attention to
the present contest and am now fully
conversant with the situation In every
county. The convention will be made
up of 289 delegates. Of this number lit
have been chosen, of whom 101 are fa
vorable to my election to the atate
chairmanship. The delegates yet to be
named, Including Philadelphia's quota
of seventy, numbers 153, of whom
eighty-three are certain to be tny
friends. Of the total number com
prising the convention therefore, I will
receive the votes of 184 a majority of
seventy-nine.
"Had I known three months ago that
my enemies among whom are some of
my professed friends contemplated
this fight against me, I nm satisfied
that, from the counties In which pri
maries have already been held, I would
have had. Instead of 101, at least 130
delegates which would have made a
total of 203 out of the full number 283.
a majority of 117. I am, however, satis
fled with my estimated majority of 79.
Of course, this claim is based upon the
fact that my friends are active and
alert throughout the state and deter
mined to loave nothing undone which
will bring about success."
The senator will return to Philadel
phia some time next week.

Witness Foaad Who Saw th Corpse
Carried from the lions.

In a banana cart. They were seen by
Thomas Kinney, a Union PaoHIc engi
neer. Two of the men were walking
font) distance ahefed, and looking
around, as If to give warning If they
should, happen to come upon any be
lated pedestrians. The third man was
pushing the cart at aa rapid a pace as
possible.
It was the contents of the cart that
ntruck the engineer aa being peculiar.
It contained some -object wrapped In a
heavy blanket which, completely con
cealed tt. Kinney was at once struck
with the resemblance which the object
bore to a human body. The object was
too long for the cart, and extended two
feet over the front end. This clears up

Trail Loads of Delegates Arrive la
Classic Boston.
HEARTY RECEPTION ACCORDED
Ths Visitors Ate Met at Railroad Stations
by Crowds of Enthusiast is Ad
mirers as Well as Recep
tion Committees.
Boston. July 10. With the earliest
trains and boats, almost with the ris
ing of the sun, the great army of Chris
tian Endeavorere began to pour Into
the city today in a way which utterly
threw into the shade any previous in
flux of visitors to any convention.
Singly or in parties of two or three on
the regular cars; in parties of fifty or
a hundred in special cars attached to
the regular trains, and In great delega
tions numbering several hundreds on
special trains, they came pouring
steadily Into the stations and under
th skilful direction- of the reception
committee, mtltlng away on the cars
and through the streets on the way to
their quarters.
They came from every part of the
country, from Maine to California
Texas sent In her delegation, and so
did 'the Canadian provinces, and no
hamlet seemed too email and Insignifi
cant to sond some one to the great
meeting. The forces of the reception
committee were more tha.ni twice as
large as yesterday, and they developed
the greatest activity in directing the
delegates to their quarters and making
mem welcome. There were also dele
gations from the Christian union,
wnich gave their aid in the work.
The effect of the Great influx on the
railroads was easily perceptible. Even
the local trains almost all ran an extra
car or two, and nearly all of the trains
coming from any distance added two
or three outside of the specials which
they might have put on for a.r.y solid
delegation. There was also a great
deal of delay In the running time of
most of the roads, especially in the
trai s coming from the west, w,hlch
wertf u.iually several hours late.
An F.xpress In Sections.
The St. Louis and Chicago express
due to arrive at the Union station at
10.20 was run In three sections, the
first of which was two hours, the sec
ond three hours and forty-five min
utes, and the third four hours and forty-five
minutes late. The trains from
tine north came in a little better, being
only about an hour late, as a rule. The
platforms of the stations were crowded,
not so much with the arriving dele
gates as with those who had come down
to meet them, and the arrivals had in
almost every case to walk up the sta
tion between two solid walls of people.
As on yesterday, the largest number of
arrivals was at the Union station.
Small delegations kept coming in all
day. At 1 o'clock a long train came in
from over the "Soo" line, bringing
about 200 delegates, mostly from On
tario and Illinois. Close after this
came a train of five sleepers. This was
the first section of the St. Louis and
Chicago express, having on board 140
delegates from Wisconsin. There are
250 in the whole delegation, but the
others were on the section which was
an hour behind. They had a pleas
ant trip and seemed In good spirits as
tney marenea up the platform, escort
ed by a large body of the reception
committee.
BURGLARS AT MONTROSE.
Safe in Feed Store Is Blown Open by
(Tacksmen.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Montrose, July 10. Our usually quiet
town was thrown into some excitement
yesterday morning when It was learned
that the safe of Mr. Jeffers, situated in
his feed store, had been blown open
by robbers. Their designs were frus
trated by the Inner doors falling back
in such a way as to bar the entrance
Inside, the force of the powder throw
ing them in this position.
The Lackawanna and Montrose sta
tion was entered the same night and
a chest robbed of some tools, these, no
doubt, assisting them to gaining an
entrance to the store. IMr. Doran's
barn was broken into, but nothing was
