Oraphlo tKssorlptlon of the netaila of the Intcrcitlo( Contest. Harrlaburg, Aug. 27. The largest erowd In the history of 'Pennsylvania conventions marked the day before what promises to be the most exciting gathering of Republicans in the annals of the commonwealth. At 9 o'clock to night the crowd was estimated at M.QOQ, and every train was bringing new comers by the scores. Fireworks, music and cheering continued until long after midnight, forming a combination of noises almost sufllcient to burst an In experienced tympanum. The trip of the Lackawanna con ttngent downward was unmarked by special incident. The Hasting admir er numbered about fifty, while the Quay brigade comprised only a score, At the station the pilgrims from the metropolis of the coal fields were greet ed by Major Warren, fteese G. Brooks and Fred W. Fleltz. The Hastings sup porters, under the pilotage of Colonel K. H. Ripple Immediately repaired to the Hastings hendquarters at the Com monwealth, where they paid their re spects to the governor. The Larka wanna delegates have secured rooms at the Commonwealth and the remainder of the contingent are quartered at the United States hotel The Convention Hall Ounrdcd. The thrft by the Quay leaders of the state committee headquarters at the Lochlel has occasioned much bitter fiexs. In anticipation of a similar at tempt tomorrow morning to steal the Opera houMe, where the convention is to be hi-ld, the Ullkeson people have placed, a strong guard around and In tbe building. The chief of the Pitts burg police force, flleptien O'Mara, and his chief of desectlves, together with a trusty force of assistants. Including a number of policemen from Philadel phia, are now In charge of the building. and will remain there until the con ventlon opens. Kvery precaution has been taken to protect Chairman Ollke son In his lawful and customary rights and If any disturbance Is precipitated tomorrow by the Quay men It will be effect Ively met. The situation prior to the caucuses tonight was one of Intense bitterness and there was a gnat deal of quint talk among the conservative element In fa vor of the compromise. It was pointed out by friends of the various Judicial candidates as well as by friends of Cashier Haywood, the prospective can didate for state treasurer, that a spe cial convention would be equivalent to an outright defeat of the ticket at the November election and the argument was used with visible effect. Jsdgo lllard Hnfo It can be said upon the best of au thority that the governor's six Judicial appointments will be nominated with out opposition, no matter which side controls the convention. Judge Wll lard Is absolutely safe. There are only fifty-six Judicial expectants on the ground with lightning rods up. and for Quay to take up any of these would be to create animosities by the score.' Both the Quay and Hastings forces held caucuses this evening and adopt ed similar policies. After the appoint ment of committees of five to report to the' main caucus tomorrow morning a programme of action for the conven tion, Including the .naming of candi dates for temporary -and permanent chairman, the preparation of an order of business and the adjustment of de tails as to the admission and seating of visitors, each caucus adjourned to meet tomorrow morning at f o'clock. It Is the Intention of these committees to get together and agree, If possible, upon a course of action, which' will avert the threatened splitting Into two conventions. It Is now confidently ex pected that as a result of this confer ence It will be decided to admit to the Opera house only the delegates, the press representatives and an equal, but limited number of the unofficial sup oortera of the two factions. In this event the convention will be called to order by Chairman Ullkeson, and the test of strength will occur without In terruption on the motion to elect a tomRrary chairman of the state con vention. The Hastings Caucus. ., The Hastings caucus was held In the supreme court rooms and organised bv the election or nr. Myrne, or me Twenty-third Philadelphia district, chairman, and Harry O. Walton and Joseph V. Brown, of Philadelphia, sec retaries. I'pon motion or uovernor Hastings, whose appearance was the signul of prolonged cheering, the chair was authorised to appoint a commit tee of five, as Indicated aliove. He named District Attorney tlcorge S. tiraham. of Philadelphia: Congress man Robert M. Yavdley. of Chester; Senator William Flynn. of Allegheny; Speaker Harry V. Wulton, of Philadel phia, and Kinerson Collins, of Wll HumsiMirt. The attendance at the cu il eus was phenomenally large, nearly 170 delegates being present. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and It wua clearly apparent that Hastings and Cillkeson had a safe and certain ma jority of at least twenty-one votes, allowing Senator Quay all his Phila delphia contests. At Hie Quay caucus a show or nanus revealed less Mian ISO bona fide sup porters, although In accordance with the Quay leaders' familiar tactics It was afterward asserted that the Quay men had a net representation above all con tests of l.W. Surprises of the lny. There have been several surprises during the day. V.ut a fair review of them will Indicate that they practical ly balance. The Hustings men lose two out of the three Bradford delegates and also one In Philadelphia from the Twen tieth ward. It Is also rumored that they have lost two votes from North ampton, t'pon the other hand Quay loses three In Berks, one In Carbon, one In Luzerne, whose delegates are now claimed as solid for Hastings andOilke- Bon. and. it is reported, one from Dela ware. Jack Robinson's home. Strong pressure was brought to bear during the day on Delegate Ford, of Wayne, to leave the Quay column, and he so far yielded as to declare that he would not go with the senator Into a rump con vention. But if the Quay people decide to fight fair he will remain steadfast. Considerable amusement was occa sioned by the conduct of one of the Luzerene delegates who was reached by Senator Quay during last evening and offered a bed in the senator's private apartment, but who afterward decided that a safer place of repose would be In his own room at the Bolton. . The administration leaders at mid night expressed undaunted confidence In their ability to organize the conven tion and elect their entire ticket, even though their opponents were allowed their contested seats. L. S. R. QUAY MEN DESPERATE. From Present Indications Two Conven tions Are Assured. At the Quay caucus tonight It Is snld that 1f3 delegates responded In person to a roll call, and voted to Instruct the state committee to call a conven tion of the Republican party at a suit able place. This "suitable place" Is understood to mean the Chestnut Street Market house. It is pertinently asked by the Gllkeson managers, why, if Quay has 153 bona fide, "sure thing,' delegates, he Is afraid to enter the Opera house, which has been desig nated by Chairman Gllkeson as the place for meeting? The Quay people excuse their threatened bolt by the as sertion that the opera house Is In the possession of armed thugs. The facts are that It Is policed by officers bor rowed for the occasion from Philadel phia and Allegheny. The city of Har rhiburg having only thirteen policemen on Its force. There Is absolutely no evidence to sustain the claims of the Quay bolters that these borrowed offi cers contemplate unfair action. Chair man Gllkeson expllcltlly declares that they are there frtr no other purpose than to preserve order; and thnt If the Quay delegates shall come In they will be treated with strict fairness and equity. The Quay assumption, to the contrary. Is pure surmise, and, accord ing to the -Hastings managers, is used for no other purpose than to screen tlio Inter manipulations of the Quay work ers. It Is pointed out os a significant fuct that at the Quay caucus there was no showing of credentials. Neither was there such a system of polling as would prevent any man from answering to the name of any delegate. That many of the responses of the alleged 153 "sure thing" delegates were bogus Is the gen eral belief, else why should the Quay men fear to beard the Gllkeson Hun In his den. .. The Quay section of the state committee at midnight appointed a committee to secure a hall. , This as sures the holding of two conventions unless the Quay men shall at the last moment abandon their bluff. At mid night Chairman Gllkeson declared his absolute certainty of 161 delegates. It. S. It, MVELV LUZERNE DELEGATES.

Today witnessed a very prominent event In the great Knights Templar conclave In this city the monster parade. The lines of the parade were formed in thirteen divi sions In a column of double sections. There was the usual delay consequent to the formation of great processions, but all was In readiness shortly after 10 o'clock, and t 10.55 the long line was In motion, the signal for the start be ing greeted by the cheers and salute of 10,000 people gathered near the Btart. As the great body of knights moved down Commonwealth avenue the spec tacle wus an Inspiring one. The music of 100 bands and the applause of thou sands of people tilled the air. Gully be decked horses pranced at the head of c:k h division, while the contrast of the dtpjiHled black cloth uniforms, the wav ing of rich plumes and the silver and gold emblems, which are conspicuous in the Templar uniform, combined to present a scene that waa pleasing and Impressive, At the Reviewing Sliind. The first division reached the review ing stand ut the end of the route at 1.06 o'clock. The sinking sun shone through the dials of the clock on the Qulncy house tower marking 5.33 as the end of trie thirteenth and last division reached the reviewing stand. Althcugh it had been expected that the proceedings, following the parade, which formally opened the twenty-sixth trt-emilal conclave of the grand en campment would bo inaugurated by 3 o'clock this afternoon, it was 6 o'clock before Most Eminent Sir ugh Mc Curdy stepped down frnm his four-in-hand In front of the ffasonlo temple.

When told thst he would have to go to Jail in default of $R.O0O bail for smuggling, Jnques T. isoithenlus, or Kensas City, a young Hollander, who Is assistant secretary of the Missouri, Kansas and Texns Trust company, was a grievously startled man. iHe has been on a visit for two months to rich friends In Amsterdam. Upon his return to New York Sunday, on board the steamer La Chamnarne. the custom officers noticed that he waa continually mopping his face with a handkerchief, which was crustmd Itf his hand so that only the corners were available for mopping. When he was not mopping he kept the handkerchief In his hand. Inspector Brown asked to be allowed to examine the handkerchief. The young Dutchman snld that such a re. quest was absurd, but handtd over the handkerchief at last. Wrapped up in It were two diamond rings, a diamond brooch and a senrfpin. Then the young man, pretty thor oughly senren by this time, confessed that he had more jewelry in his pockets. He brought out a quantity of Jewelry, Including pearl and dia mond rings, scarfplns, etc. When taken to jail In default of ball. though he tendered Sn.OOO cash In se curlty, the young tourist said: 'I have no desire to concenl ony- thlng. I bought the articles found upon me from the other side as little presents tor my menus. The maximum penalty for the offense Is $5,000 fine and two years' tm prisonment. and the smuggled goods arc confiscated. To get them back tht smuggler must buy they back at? public sale. ROMERO CONVICTED. Mexican Huolist Must Settle with Ills Victim's Widow. City of -Mexico, Aug. 17. Although the .Mexican laws forbid dueling, for the first time In the history of the country a conviction has been secured The sensational trial or Colonel i- ran- clsco Romero, who killed Colonel Veraa- tequl In a duel on Aug. 9 of lost yeur, was concluded this morning, after nn all night session. The trial lasted six days and stirred society, owing to the hluh ntnndlng of the principals nnd of seconds, Mexican Juries consist of nine members, and a majority vote rules, Romero was convicted on every count bv a vote ranging from five to nine. The seconds were acquitted. The Judge sentenced Romero to three venrs nnd four months imprisonment, with a fine of $1.NO0 or 100 days' additional Imprisonment If preferred Romero must also Day $4,S00 annually to the widow of Vcrastequl, In monthly Installments, for eighteen years, nnd the costs of the funeral of Verastonnl amounting to $460. The costs of the trlnl he Is nlsn liable for. Romero was remanded to the military commandment, since he Is an army oil! cer. to be confined In the military prison In this city. The result of the trlnl was entirely unexpected, and Is the only tonic of conversation in the city today. It Is believed that General Dins will eventually relieve Romero from Im prisonment. but not from the pecuniary penalty. Vernsteqtil was the head of the stamp department. Romero Is famous as a duelist, but his conduct since this duel has cost him many friends. . , ' TUNNEL ON FIRE. Ores! aaie to a Conl Vein Near Xantsvlllo. Zanesvllle, O., Aug. 27.

RANSOM REAPPOINTED. Cleveland Names Ulsa Once More for Minister to Mexico. Washington. Aug. 27. The White House mall this morning bore the com mission of Matt W. Hansom to be United Stutcs minister to Mexico. The commission was duted Aug. 24. This ends a legal complication by which Minister Hansom, after several months' service at his post at the City of .Mexico, was declared Ineligible to fill the olllce to which he had been ap pointed prior to the expiration of his term us United Mates senator. It was held by the treasury accounting offi cers that he fell within constitutional Inhibition against the appointment of congressmen to offices created or whose emoluments had been Increased dur ing their service in congress. It has been generally understood that Mr. Ransom would be promptly reappointed, nnd the slight ueluy which occurred presumably has been for the purpose of definitely ascertain ing that there were no more legal or other obstacles In the way of renam ing hhn for the .Mexican mission. The minister wus in waaningion a few davs airo. but is now in North Car olina recuperating from an attack of Illness due In purt to the climate or tne City of Mexico. TIME HEALS A OUARREL.
