The Telegraph, has a lung story In Ita

yesterday'M seeming harmony between
the two factious was more apparent
than real and thut a truce and not

the Telegraph says:
"The Hastings-.; Ilkeson men. or the
administration people, as they are fre
quently termed, in speaking of the turn
of affairs as a result of the conference
on Tuesday night and early Wednes
day morning, gave It as their opinion
that the so-called harmony thut pre

and that today there Is no more har

Tom Cooper's Opinion.

Quay for state chairman, verv frnnklv
expressed himself today with reference
to tne Kepuldlcnn situation In Penn
sylvania, and in this city in particular.
lie saiu: "it was only a truce, not a
treaty of peace, yesterday. A treaty
of peace had not been signed. The
convention was at an end and the truce
was over. The ti-ht will be continued
until the combine has been exterminat
ed." This opinion was shared bv a
number of others who were active In
their support of Senitor Quny.
"It was declared at Harrisburg by
men who are prominent In the Iur-hnm-Penrose
faction thut a new Ke
publican city committee will be
formed, and that an antl-comblne or
ganization will be effected in every
election division of the city. To this
are added ominous whisperings of
trouble for some of the members upon
the Republican dry ticket. That Quay 1
will control the state delegation to the
next national convention there is no
doubt. That Quay will control the
next legislature and name the next
senator, and that he will be chairman
of the next national .committee, are
also accepted as being highly probable.
David Martin, the present member of
the national eommlttp. will unques
tionably resign, and this may be ex
pected at any time. Quay named him
for the place, and It Is not a secret
that he does not Intend to show him
any more favors.
That Quay at present favors Mc
Klnley for president there are reasons
to believe, but that he l so far com
mitted to him as to make an aggressive
fight for him is not tuken for granted.
MR. QUAY'S SECRET ARIES:

Harrisburg, Aug. 29. Senator Quay,

gratification over the woik of yester

Kefore leaving Senator Quay an

GOVERNOR ALTGELD TALKS.
The Friend of th Ansrshlsts Rcjoless at
the Triumph of Senator Quay.
Altoona, Pa., Aug. 20. Governor Alt
geld, of Illinois, stopped here for a
short time today on his way to Maine,
The governor spoke freely on the poli
tical situation in Pennsylvania, and
the great national significance the re
suit would have In relation to the pres
idency in 1S96. "Comtnc from the iut
of Illinois," said the governor, "I
have no direct Interest In the tight In
Pennsylvania for political supremacy,
but. nevertheless, 1 am more than
pleased and much gra tilled over the
great victory achieved by Senator
Quay at yesterday's convention.
Continuing, he said the reason he
was bo elated was on ac
count of the . stand Quay ' hud
taken against the mighty monopolies
In the state. In the opinion of Gover
nor Altgeld, Quay's light waa beyond
all doubt the greatest battle ever won
by the people. From a national stand
point, Governor Altgeld believes Gen
eral Harrison's presidential preten
sions are at an end. for the state of
Pennsylvania, with Quay as leader of
the delegates, will undoubtedly be for
ex-Speaker Reed as tlrst choice and
XlcKlnlcy as next best man. The gov
ernor Fays he has met Senator Quay
several times, and was greatly Im
pressed with him as an admirable
leader and an enemy to corruptlon

DEFENDER AND VIGILANT KALI'.
The New Boat Proves Superior to the
Other (iMardluns of the Cup-Defender's
Record for Aeuldsnts
Is Still Unbroken.
New Tork. Aug. 29. The severe drub
bing which the Defender administered
to the Vigilant in the second or the oltl-
clul trial races today, has had the ef
fect of considerably reviving the hopes
of yachtsmen ill this city, which have
been drooping suiuwlmt since the
syndicate boat broke down lu her lust
race and fulled to linlsh. It wus evi
dent that she was much Improved by
the substitution of a ghlcker stick for
her old one, and she was able to carry
a medium sized club top aaU through
the squall which struck the two boats
on the last leg, standing up us stiff and
straight as need be. Tne vigilant was
beaten over every leg of the 24-mlle
course and finished eighteen minutes
three seconds behind the Defender.
Nearly Jialf of this difference, however,
was due to the fact that the wind died
down to nothing Just after 'Defender
had crossed 't'he finishing line and while
the Vigilant was stilt on her way in.
The report which lias been persistent
ly circulated to the effect that the De
fender has been held back In all her
previous races with Hie Vigilant In or
der to disguise the real extent of tier
superiority was Immediately revived
after today's contest, and there were
plenty of yachtsmen who wagged their
heads and and eaid: "1 told you so."
It Is more probable, however, that the
Improved form shown by the yachlt la
due entirely to the changes which have
Just been made lu her. The new boat
kept up her record for accidents by
splitting her Jib on thu lust leg. The
cloth wus quickly replaced by another
one and the mishap wus of slight conse
quence. The Valkyrie Apseurs.
An additional element of interest
wus lent to the race by the appearance
on the Course of the challenger, Val
kyrie 111. it was the first opportunity
that any one hus hud to see the rlvul
yachts sailing anywhere neur each
other, and It wns eagerly embraced by
the enthusiasts. laihts and tugs
closed in around the Dunraven cutter
until It seemed as though she hardly
had room for sailing.
Peculiar wind conditions served to
make this appearance of the Valykrte
almost a sensational one. She seemed
to be overhauling the two American
yachts with ease. She was about a
miles and a half behind them at the
startfiig of the race. While they were
drifting along 1n the lightest of airs,
the Valkyrie crept upon them, bring
ing a breeze with her. Inside of an
hour she hud approached to within less
than half a tulle of the Vigilant, and
the faces of the spectators length
ened. Then she g:tf into the glassy
area with the other yachts and slowed
down. She continued to gain on the
Vigilant, however, fur a few minutes
after she had come Into the same
weather conditions. The Defender
was also gaining perceptibly on the
Vigitunt at the same time, and the
Valkyrie, not wishing to give tho
Americans too good a line on her
speed, put about and went back up
the bay.
Her fast work In the light wind was
something of a surprise and confirmed
the feeling that she will come nearer
to winning the famous gold cup than
any of her predecessors.

. MR. BISSELL DECLINES.
Prefers Buffalo to a Position on the
United Mates Supreme Beneb.
Buffalo, Aug. 29, Tt was learned late
this afternoon on authority which is
considered absolutely reliable that ex
Postmaster General W. 8. BiaseU haa
been offered the place on the United
States supreme court bench mude va
cant by the death of Justice Jackson.
The Information came from a close
friend of Mr. lilssell in this city, and
it is stated thut tho ex-post man ter
general himself revealed the secret be
fore he left Buffulo curly this week.
Mr. Blssell, so it Is stated, received a
communication direct from Mr. Cleve
land making an unconditional proffer
of the appointment. The communica
tion further asked Mr. Blssell to come
to see hlin concerning the matter.
Mr. Blssell, it Is ulso stated, declared
he would not take the appointment,
in giving his reasons for declining the
honor, lie Is stated to have said: "I
huve tried Washington life under fav
orable circumstances, and 1 preler
Buffalo. I do not cure to return to
Washington, and the offer of the
Judgeship will not tempi me to no ii.
1 will go to see Mr. i ievciunu, uui i
will not accept the olllce. I do noi
want it. 1 would rather stay in uui-
fulo."
AN UNPATRIOTIC POLICY.
Iiemocruw ItUcourugo Enterprise-Ad
ministration to Uo Beyond the Sugar
Bounty for tiumpuign Thunder.
Washington. Aug. 29. No 'decision
hus yet been mude by Comptroller
Bowler In thu LouInIuiuiu sugar bounty
cases. There Is ufeurumong those Inter
ested in this bounty thut the comp
troller will remain linn in declaring
thut the luw appropriating the Jj.000,-
000 for the payment of bounties Is un
constitutional.
There Is u pretty strong feeling in
certulti qnuiteis thut this Htund of
Comptroller Bowler was not taken by
him without the authority of Secretary
Carlisle and President Cleveland and
thut the declaration thut the bounty
was unconstitutional was mude for the
purpose of oubsldlcs beside thut given
to the Louisiana sugar growers.
It Is said that this opposition to sub
sidies and all forms of aid to American
enterprises Is to form one of the feat
ures of the Democratic campaign next
year. The unparalleled expenditures
uthorized by the last Democratic con
gress gave the He to the contention of
the party thut It would practice econ
omy, it Is now believed that (Mr.
Cleveland and his advisers have deter
mined to prevent the payment of ap
propriations made by the Flrty-third
congress wherever there Is the slightest
pretext ror so doing, the object being
to make the people believe that the ad
ministration Is economical If congress
was not.
It Is declared that the refusal to pay
the $5,000,000 bounty is likely to be fol
lowed by the holding up of appropria
tions made for the currying of malls
under contract with the lV merle. line
of steamers. Postmaster General Bls
sell reduced the .subsidies allowed to
line Pacific Mall and the Brazilian
Steamship companies and his successor
Is said to be looking Into the Cuban ami
Central American contracts with a view
ito cutting tihem down. If the attitude
or -.-omptroller iBowlor Is sustained it Is
said that the payment of premiums to
builder of warships will cease.
It is the purpose of the Democrats to
make usei of these attempts at holding
up appropriations as proof thut they
are eiidnavorlng to administer the af-
rairs or the government economically.
It lhas been suggested that while ithey
are explaining to the country ,how very
economical they are in refusing to pay
appropriations -that congress has au
thorized and to make subsidies that she
law requires, they should at the same
time offer some explanation for using
government property for private pur
poses at the cost of thousands of dol
lars a year.
SIGNAL FROM THE GRAVE.
Peculiar Invention tb Aid People Who

New York. lAucr. W-'lTho mu.

as in a state or catalepsy, to notify
people above ground. The signal Is

is claimed, win be instantly indicated.
The stage exhibitions work very will,
but undertakers are ohtrnslvnlv alrnn.
tlcal. The contrivance has never been
vindicated in the ease of any actual
burial of a live person.
The Inventor accounts for the opposi
tion of undertakers by saying that .his
signal will revolutionize Inhumation
and will put an end to tho practice of
embalming. A new cemetery, to be
located up the Hudson, and to be
called the Valley of Jehoshaphut, may
be established in order to give the
grave signal a fair test.

NOBLE MASONIC PROJECT
Grand Scheme fur the Benefit of
Masons' Children.
UNIVERSITY TO BE ENDOWED
An Institution Where the Offspring of
Master Masons Mav Be F.ducated at
Moderate Cost -A Site on the
Ohio HI vcr Contemplated.
Boston, Aug. 29. In their pursuit of
methods for putting Into practical ef
fect the principles of their order fra
ternity, lidulity, charily some of the
prominent members of the Knights
Teinplur ure developing a project
which. If) realized according to the
Ideas of Its originators, will prove to
be one of the grandest and most com
mendable outgrowths of the closing
years in this century. They are plan
ning the establishment of a great na
tional university for both sexes, to be
controlled by and in the interest of all
masons, with a permanent endowment
of not I;sm than JiiO.OOO.uoO, at which the
children of all master musons, what
ever their means, can secure a com
plete education from the age of 10
years und upward, along any line of
Instruction which they may desire.
The scheme contemplates the erec
tion of a sufficient number of fire
proof university buildings to accom
modate 10,000 students, specially de
signed for the purpose and equipped
with every facility and appliance
known to be necessary or desirable;
the establishment and maintenance
under the most competent instructors
to be secured of a. preparatory or acad
emic department, und departments of
liberal urtB, law, medicine, science and
theology and technology, also an in
dustrial school, thus being a, true uni
versity In wlilch the student can se
cure an education and training along
any line which he may deBlre to pursue.
In No Sense a charitable Institution.
While the child of no living or dead
master mason will be refused admis
sion to the institution on account of
luck of means, it will be In no sense
a home or charitable Institution, but
is expected to be self-supporting after
the first construction from the tuition
fees, the products of the industrial
works shops and other revenues. The
plan contemplates, further, uniforming
of all students, the boarding and room
ing of them within the university
ground, and the leasing of grounds, for
a nominal sum, for the erection of
homes to such parents as are not will
ing to be separated from their children
during the term of their education;
such houses to be transferred to other
parents when no longer needed.
The location agreed upon for the In
stitution is a beautiful tract of elevat
ed land on the Ohio river, near the
West Virginia line, facing the river for
three miles.
The projectors anticipate no diffi
culty In securing the necessary endow
ment, in fact they assert that the idea
has met with such an enthusiastic re
ception from all Knights who have
been consulted, that four times the
amount necessary could be secured.
AFTER THE TOBACCO TRUST.
Whclan Co. Will Test the Legality of
Its Business Transactions.
Syracuse, Aug. 29. The legality of
the business being carried on by the
American Tobacco company, every
where known as the tobacco trust. Is to
be tested through the medium of pro
ceedings brought by C. A. Whelan, of
this city. Mr. Whelan Is a member of
the tobacco Jobbing firm of C. A. Whe
lan & Co. tn this city. At his instance
a petition addressed to Attorney Gen
eral Hanock praying that official to
Institute a suit to compel the trust to
suspend the transaction of business in
this state, was served on the officers of
the American Tobacco compnny in
New York yesterday. The petition Is
reinforced by affidavits showing the
methods which are observed by the
trust in the conduct of their business,
and which. It Is suid. are plainly in
controventlon of the conspiracy laws.
It is expected the attorney general
will grant the petition. There is little
question that the American Tobacco
company will resist these proceedings
to the very last. The trust Is one of
the richest combinations of capital In
the world. Its stock amounts to fS5.
OW.OOO and It Is held by manufacturers
of cigarettes whose private fortunes
nmount up into the tens of millions.
