o'clock this (Wednesday morning.
It was announced that the conferees
had reached an agreement and that
there would be but one conventlon.The
Opera house will be cleared of every
body except the delegates and news
paper men. and the convention will de

STORY OF THE BATTLE.
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.

Boston, Aug. 27. Today witnessed a
very prominent event In the great

parade were formed in thirteen divi
sions In a column of double sections.

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,

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

A .Smuggler from Kansas City Hustled Off
to Jail.
New York. Aug. 27. 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?

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. . ,

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
