HARMONIOUS THROUGHOUT Superior Court Judges Appointed by Governor Hustings Arc Noml nutcd Without Opposition. State Chairman Gilkc son Withdraws from the Con test. Special to the Scranton Tribune. Hun-lsliuig. Aug. 2S. There is a pro nounced belief among unbiassed ob servers of the Justly celebrated battle which Is now fortunately ended that Senator Quay owes today's victory to the intimidating influences of one of the most consummate bluftr on record in American politics. An abundance of formidable testimony can be adduced in suport of the assertion that at the roll-call of delegates at the Quay cau cus last night, at which there were lu9 ostensible responses, less than u ma jority of actual, pledged delegates re plied. The remainder represented clev erly manipulated padding,, which with in an hour bt came the basis of a sys tematic and argresalve claim of vic tory preferred with the energy of des (. vo thui all along the line. This claim : worked with untiring persistence : ivoak-kneed delegates, and had, in nvVi-ral instances, the desired effect. So sure were the opposition of victory that at their caucus this morning, held less than two hours prior to the opening of the convention, there was no concession even of the possibility of defeat. It was conceded that the linos had drawn closely together, but it was not sus pected. In the face of seemingly Invinci ble assurances to the contrary, that the balance of power lay with the Bllent man from Beaver. It cannot be denied that In general ship, as the term Is understood in poll tics. Senator Quay has showed a clean pair of heels to his former pupils and proteges in the Philadelphia and Alle gheny camp; and his bitterest factional opponents are unstinted In their praises of the strategic skill disclosed in the eleventh hour of his canvass. The re mark made by Walter Wellman, the arctic explorer , and noted Journalist; GOV. D. H. HASTINGS. who has been a vigilant observer of the fray since Its Inclpiency, Is a fair summary of opinion on this point. Said he: "It has hitherto often been sus pected, but this fight proves that Matthew Stanley Quay Is the master politician of the century." Opinion lu divided as to the ronse. quences of today's battle on state Is sues. While many opponents of Mr. Quay scout the genuineness of the sen ator's "reform" programme, as mapped out In the plank which he caused to be conspicuously placed In the platform, there are some who say It would be just like Mr. Quay to devote the later years of his life to the accumulation of pres tige more substantial and permanent than comes from reputation as on ex pert player of the game of pawns called politics. At any rate, his new attitude, however Inspired, Is taken lv a con siderable number to mean that the sen ator has begun to realize the growing disadvantages of Ignoring the every where Increasing public sentiment In favor of cleaner politics and a fairer adjustment of the various departments of the civil service; and that he la now more willing than formerly to court this sentiment, and, If possible, to make it a helpful factor In his future political battles. Senator Cameron's Petition. With reference to Senator Cameron, the opinion very generally prevails tonight that hln junior colleague has at last determined to "hoe his own roe," and will accord the Lochlel statesman a similar privilege. Quay, It Is said by his confidential advisers, was seriously dlsappoolnted In the apparent apathy displayed by Mr. Cameron In this fight of a generation, and Is disposed to enter Into a substantial demonstration of political reciprocity should the Penn tylvanla advocate of Bllver come up for re-election. The acceptance by Senator Quay in today's convention of Representative Prank Biter's stiff "sound money"resolutlonls Interpreted by those who share this belief as form. Ing formal notice to Mr. Cameron that their political Intimacy of the past Is not to stand between Quay and the possibility of his overthrow on the Cameron Issue, twd years hence. It Ib quite generally conceded that the narrowness of Mr. Quay's escape ha strongly disposed him. toward a moderation of those methods which have In late years grown distasteful to the conservative element. It Is known that he had no sooner won control of, the convention than he began, in a quiet manner, to conciliate certain In fluence that might have remained out of sympathy with hi management of the ensuing campaign.' If left to him self, the senator, It la believed, would not have gone to iucH length In this fight a he ha gone to under the fet-,.-.. :: -,;:.; :r-.l- .';; -v. If fortunate guidance of Senators An drews and Penrose. - The omission from the platform, a originally reported from committee, of a resolution commending the Hastings administration Is believed to have been unpremedlated, althought It had an unpleasant look. The Quay leaders emphatically deny that they had any conscious Intention of slighting the governor. Nevertheless, the oversight has caused much adverse comment, which was not sensibly stilled, even after Dr. Weaver, of Wilkes-Uarre. had moved the addition of a supplementary plank of prulse. U. 8. R. ENTHUSIASM OF VICTORS. The Quay Followers Hirade the Street with llnnnors and Drums. Special to the Bcranton Tribune. Harrlsburg. Aug. 28. After one of the most sensational nights ever experi enced In connection with Pennsylvania politics, representatives of the contend ing factions this morning succeeded in arranging a basis of agreement obvi ating the necessity of rival conven tions. It was decided to admit to the Opera House only the delegates and contestants, and newspaper representa tives. The contestants were allowed a full vote each on the temporary organi sation, leaving the determination of the merits of the contests to the regularly appointed committee on contested seats. Afterward, upon motion of Sen- MATT11KW 8. OUAT. ator Quay, this temporary arrangement was made permanent. In accordance with this agreement Superintendent Roger O'AIara, of the Pittsburg police force, at a quarter before 1 o'clock this morning, ordered his men to vacate the hall, which was done amid applause. Some hint of the Intense Interest taken In the convention Is afforded by the fact that newspaper men were In at tendance from every chief city in the United States, making In the aggregate an attendance nearly equal to that cus tomary at national conventions. When, at 10 o'clock, 'Senator Quay,' accompa nied by his son. Richard Quay, passed along the-etfeet toward a private en trance to the Lochlel, he was followed by a cheering crowd numbering nearly 5.000 persona, who proffered him a no table ovation. A parade of Quay en thusiasts, with banners exulting over the overthrow of the "combine," passed just at this moment, and afforded an other provocative for tumultuous cheer ing. In the mean time, the Hastings peo ple, in secret caucus, discussed the dan gers which- would result not only to their own judicial ticket but also to the party at large In the event of the holding" of two conventions, and re solved to avert the risk of possible scenes of excitement In the conven- .lons by agreeing to the harmony pro pr""ne nf that, ensanguined-haired apoBtle of reconcllatlon, ex-Chairman Cooper. Thus, when the delegates as sembled, all was as smooth as a tobog gan slide, and almost as rapid. L. S. R. PROCEEDINGS OF THE DAY. The Convention Is Marked by tho Entire Harmony That prevailed. Harrlsburg. Pa., Aug. 28. The most bitter fight that has ever been experi enced In the ranks of iPenniylvanla Re publicanism Is at an end. and Senator Quay Is victorious. The Beaver states man swept everything before htm, and magnanimously consented In the Inter est of party harmony, to the nomina tion of. the six iRepubllcan Superior court Judges, as the administration forces had desired. The convention which lasted a scant three hours, no re cess being taken, was marvelously har monious. Judging by the way the Quay and Hastings forces hobnobbed within a half hour after the convention had been called to order, the respective chltfs Betting the example by consult ing with one another, it was not evi dent that the party had been rent In twain during the past two months and up to the very day of the convention by factionalism that was unprecedent ed for Its bitterness. The success of Senator Quay is re garded as a masterly political achieve ment; he I;hs secured control of the party organization In the Keystone state, has had. himself elected state chairman to succeed an active political opponent, the latter placing the sena tor In nomination, and literally was the power at the convention. The fight be tween the factions and the unlooked for harmonious ending at the state con vention, will be given a prominent place In the political history of Penn sylvania. Jn addition to electing Senator Quay as state chairman, Benjamin J. Hay wood, of Mercer county, who was prac tically unopposed, was nominated for state treasurer, and the nix Republi cs ns whom Governor Hastings appoint ed us superior court Judges on June 27 last were placed on the ticket. The latter nominees are: Ex-Qovernor James A. Beaver, of Center county; Howard J. Rceder, Northampton; John J. Wlckham, Beaver; George B. Or lady, Huntingdon; Charles K. Rice, Lu cerne, and K. N. Wlllard, Lackawan na. The seventh member of the Judi ciary Is Henry J. 'McCarthy (Dem.), of Philadelphia, the law creating the new court providing for minority represen tation. The first and the decisive test of the strength of the faction was de vested when the vote for temporary chairman wus taken, Congressman John B. Robinson, of Delaware coun ty, the Quay candidate, receiving; 163 2-3 votes against 133 1-3 for Colonel Henry Hall, of Pittsburg, the administration candidate. i . The Opening Hoone. The convention was announced to meet at 11 o'clock, but It was within five minute of the noon hour when State Chairman Ollkeson rapped for order. Prior to, this, a Pittsburg crowd of 100 or more who had retained pos session of the Opera house.

OLD OFFICERS RE-ELECTED Captala DeLaey Presented with a Wee of the Flag Polo Whisk, Sapported the Regimental Flag la the Battle of tiettysbarg. Prom a Stan Correspondent of The Trib une. . Shlckshlnny. Pa.. Aug. 2S. One hun dred and four vetnrans of the One Hun dred and Forty-third regiment of Penn sylvania volunteers answered to roll call at their twenty-ninth annual re union held here today. The report of Secretary Charles Campbell, of Beach Haven, showed that ten members of the regiment have answered their last call on earth since the reunion of '4. In the absence of the regiment chaplain, President Ie.Laey called upon the Rev. Alackay. of Shlckshinny. to open the exercises with prayer. Col onel Ttelchert, chairman of the com mittee on tablet, reported that the tab let at Gettysburg would be ready for dedication soon and requested that the "boys" fix a date for the exercises. Oct. .15 is the day selected, and Attor ney A. J. Colborn, of Scratiton, will be Invited to act as orator of the day on that occasion. The monument on which the tablet will be placed will stand in the position that the One Hundred and Forty-third regiment occupied in the battle of Gettysburg on July 3. 184. The tablet will contain on Its face a cut of Colonel Sergeant Benjamin Crlppen in an atti tude bidding defiance, with his (1st to the enemy, whom he faced. Preoonietion to Captain DeLaey. A feature of the exercises was a presentation to Captain P. DeLaey, of Scranton, of the end of the flagstaff that supported the flag of the One Hun dred and Forty-third regiment in their most famous triumph In the oelebrated battle of Gettysburg. It was through the efforts of Senator Vaughan that this trophy was secured from Colonel Stewart, now adjutant general of Pennsylvania. Hon. T. V. Powderly made the presentation speech, to which the captain responded with much feeling and fervor, and took occa sion at this moment to call to the plat form Comrade FoBter. who lives In the neighborhood of Shlckshlnny, and who was the color bearer of the regiment In every conflict in which they partici pated, with the exception of the battle of the Wilderness. Comrade Foster fondled the little specimen' with as much pride as the small boy does his lirst toy. The election of ofllcers for the ensu ing year was speedily performed. All of the old officials were unanimously elect ed by a shouting vote. They are: President. Captain DeLacy, Scranton; vice-president. Captain O. E. Vaughan, Moscow; secretary, Charles Campbell, Beach Haven; treasurer, M. L. Blair, Hyde Park. ' - , , Privileges to Wives and Children. The committee on resolutions report ed several, all of which Were adopted. The most important one was- that which granted to wives, sons and daughters the privilege of becoming secondary members, i'lttston has been selected as the place for holding the next annual reunion. The literary and musial features of the programme were of an exceptionally good quality. Col onel Alfred Darte, of Wllkes-rttnrre, was the orator of the day, and John 8. Mc Groarty. of the same place, the poet. The colonel said that In this grove "one of God' first temples" was a fit ting place to review their war experi ences, and then give thanks to the Al mighty for their good fortune in surviv ing the great struggle and the many trials that they have encountered since In years of peace. After graphically describing the many marches, attacks and charges of the Infantry and cavalry, he contrasted the modes of carrying on warfare in '61 with the present; he compared the single barreled gun and carbine used by the boys In his command with the breecliloaillng repeating rifles used by the United States army today, which will kill a man at distance of one mile and even pass through a horse end wise at the same distance. He would like to see a battle, but not engage In It,- in which the modern artillery would be brought Into play. ,vNever more. Com rades," said rhe, "will you hear of a subre or bayonet charge, much less the capture of artillery by such means." I.lpht Urigadu Outdone, Results tell the tale of a battle. The "Light Brigade" at the battle of Ualak luva has been Immortalized by Tenny son, . but only 37 per cent, of the soldiers went down In that famous charge, whereas 56 per cent, of the brigade composed of the 143d, 149th and l&Dth regiments fell at Gettysburg. In conclusion he re manded the veterans that their duties had not ceased, they should by ex ample train their sons In American patriotism; heed no pessimistic warn ings about the danger of our country, our Uvea and property being usurped or taken away from thetn by corpora tions, anarchists or socialists. Poet John H. iMcOroarty mused on the theme, "The One Hundred and Korty-thlrd at Gettysburg." The verses contained many noble and pa triotic sentiments and were well de livered. The musical numbers were given by a quartette who sang "Tenting on the Old Camp Grounds." "The Old Boy Who Marched In '61," and beside sev eral solos. U. A. Nlven wa called upon for a speech. He made some very pertinent remarks about "Jingoism," which, with the new woman, he heralded as a good thing "push Jt along." Mr. Nlven also recited an original poem entitled "The Old Canteen." Mr. Powderly' AdJrosn. Hon. T. V. Powderly had attended only the night before a reunion of the Second Heavy artillery at Scranton and Was still tilled with tales and yarns told by the "old boyB." Three year ago he became an honorary member of the organisation and one year ago had the honor to pin a Grand Army of the Republic emblem on the lapel of the coat of Hon. Galusha A. Grow, who. In the days of the war, beat down trea son with hi gavel In the house of representatives. iMr. Powderly wa glad that a mon ument had been erected In Chicago to Confederate aoldlera, not In commem oration of their heroism, however, but a an Incentive to the patriotism of young Americans. He said that the Grand Army of the Republic ha become a great Institution for good; It ha united the Methodist and Presbyterian, Episcopalian and Catholic and In general wiped out much prejudice and religious bigotry. , Our country I growing and progress ing. . 'TIs not long since the Union wel comed Into Its fold Utah, with It plurality of wive and not of votes. Thl furnished Mr. Powderly with a cue for the subject, "The New Woman." The Invention of the typewriter, tele phone and similar machine marked the advent ot the new woman. Man was afraid that full wage would take woman from the tireslUe and kitchen; half wages did It. According to custom the orator of the day. Colonel Darte; poet of the day, John S. MoGroarty, and K. A. Nlven. poet at Oettysburg. were decor ated with Grand Army of the Republic badges. Hun. T. V. Powderly placed the emblems on their coats and made appropriate remarks. J. J. M. PANAMA CANAL PROJECT. Nw Jersey Capital May Finish the Waterway. New Brunswick. N. J.. Aug. 28. Phil ip Weigel, Jr., an iron and hardware merchant of this olty. was seen today regarding the following paragraph, which appeared in the Issue of Aug. 24 of the .Mercantile and Financial Times, of New York: "Philip Weigel Is virtually the head of the project Involving tluu.OlSi.lXMI which will be an assured thing within the next year and a half. In this stu pendous undertaking no one but In habitants of Jersey's soil will be em ployed." Mr. Weigel maid that three men In this country, of whom he was one, hud planned to buy the entire Interest and property of the Panama Canul com pany, taking up the work just where It has been left off and prosecuting It to a successful end. According to Mr. Weigel this triumvirate intends to buy all the rights, titles and Interests of the now practically defunct company, and with the capital of $luo.uou.O0O which these men have been able to command, will begin the enterprise within the next eighteen months. All arguments to induce Air. Weigel to reveal the names of the capitalists who were with him went for naught. WAR SUPPLIES FOR CUBANS. A Sloop Has liven Seen Hovering on the Coast. New York. Aug. 28. The Atlas line steamer Adirondack, from Port Llmon, which arrived today, brings news of another landing of war supplies In the vicinity of Cape Maysi, Cuba. On Aug. 22, when the Adirondack was about thirty miles west of the cape, a large white-painted sloop was seen bearing directly for the Cuban coast. There was great activity among the men on board, and what looked like keg of powder and firearms were stacked up In the stern of the vessel. The name of the craft could not be as certained; but it was evident that she was carrying materials of war to the Insurgent forces on the Island. The of ficers of the Adirondack watched the sloop until she lowered her sail and dropped anchor Junt oft the shore. (No Spanish men-of-war were in the vicin ity. The place where the sloop an chored Is a lonely and uninhabited spot. It Is believed that several vessels have landed supplies for the Insurgents within the last three or four weeks. Madrid, Aug. 28.

The coroner's Jury continued Its In vestigation today and the most sensa tional testimony was that given by Detective Brott, whose evidence point ed to a most cold-blooded and brutal double murder. On top of the parti tion separating the mom In which the tragedy occurred from the next he found the Imprints of a man's hand, and the dust of the celling had been brushed off, as If by some one who had escaped from the room In this manner. After climbing over this partition It would have been easy for the murderer to have escaped down the back stair way Into the alley. CRISIS IN ARMENIA. Turkish Soldiers Attacking Villages and Monaiterioa Near Ezrlngham. Constantinople, Aug. 38. Advices re ceived here from Brzlnghian say that great terror prevails among the Ar menians there, owing to the attitude of the Turkish authorities. The latter, In consequence of an attack which was recently made by brigands upon a Turklrh colonel, during which a num ber of his escort was killed, are believed to be taking steps which will have most serious consequences. The Armenians are accused of being the authors of the attack on the colonel, and It Is alleged that a large force of Turkish troops has been retaliating by attacking the villages and monas teries of the vicinity and engaging In other acts of violence. The Armenians, fearing a recurrence of the Sussouln outrage, have appealed to the ambassa dors of the power at Constantinople for protection. ) TORNADO IN ILLINOIS.
