MR. WANAMAKER
GIVES HIS VIEWS
He Favors High Tariff, Good Currency
and Protection for Labor.
OBJECTS TO BOSSISM IN POLITICS
lias Xo (Jnnrril with Anyone and
Will Not Become Sour if Defeated.
Is Yielding to Kfiiuesls of Thous
ands in Allowing His Name to Uo
llclore (ho Legislature.
Philadelphia, Dec. 2'J. John Wana
niakcr will leave for HarrishiiiK with
in the next few days to take personal
command uf his followers at the state
capital.
In an Interview today Mr. na
niaker discussed the questions lieuring
on his senatorial tight.
"The four years just clualnp." he
said, "have been must disastrous to our
country, und the recent presidential
election almost precipitated a national
crisis. If the next four years do not
give good times to the I'nited State.--,
the new century will usher In' changes
that will be severely felt to the most
remote corner uf the world. Pennsyl
vania's responsibility in the adminis
tration of national affairs Is thrown
UMn her congressmen and two sena
tors. The terms of these two senators
expire either at the beginning of or
during President McKinley's adminis
tration, and as the time approaches to
till the next vacancy some uf those who
labored Incessantly to defeat the nomi
nation uf President McKlnley und car
ried tin- vote uf Pennsylvania In the
convention against him are assuming
to dispense the federal patronage In
advance of his Inauguration In order
to iiitluence the votes of the members
of the legislature."
"What about national Issues, Mr.
Wanumaker?"
"I favor a tariff lilsl(( enough to re
munerate manufacturers, that they
may be uble to keep their employes go
ing the full week at Rood wages, and
to exclude everything that we tun
grow or make in this country.
"Next in importance to the tariff law,
I hold to be the Immigration law. I
always stood for first taking cure of
Americans with work.
"Now there are people, people who
never employ a dozen men in their lives,
except possibly In political campaigns,
trying to muke capital asalnst me as
being opposed to the lu borer. Let them
go among our employers and lind out.
1 am always and unequivocally against
any Importation of foreign labor.
CONCK UMNO Fl N A NCE.
"As to finance, 1 am unalterably
against any tampering w ith our money
to destroy the nation's credit, and must
be counted forever against any depre
ciation of our coin."
"What about state Issues?" Mr.
Wanamnker w as asked.
"In reply to your question, let me
say llrst, 1 do not know w hat right any
I'nited States senator has to go to Har
rishurg and Interfere with state Issues
to take care of this corporation and
that, or settle other questions. What
Is the use uf a governor or any mem
bers of the legislature If the bills nre
to be prepared by a state committee
and marked O. K., by one senator. If
you ask me as a citizen and tax payer
what my opinions are on the state Is
sues, I am free to say that I am In
favor of all the reform legislation pro
posed, and much more not yet pro
posed; and with others 1 will agitate
questions and inform the public and
plead for the remedying of them. There
Is no more important matter needing
adjustment than the present finunclal
system of the state. It Is a startling
fact that from four to six millions of
dollars uf balances are credited ns de
posited in banks, yet the state does not
pay up promptly Its school and other
appropriations. It Is also an astonish
ing fact that these millions known to
be Ingenuiotisly assessable for election
expenses pay no Interest to the state,
while many of its sick, insane and poor
ore suffering from slack accommoda
tions. I believe that the auditor gen
eral's depart merit likewise needs re
urg'tnlzutiiig because of the large dis
cretion of the auditor general In adjust
ing corporation taxes. I have reason
to believe tljut many sulferlng Indus
tiles can be relieved after the investi
gations that ure likely to be called fur
soon.
"1 would like to see our state taxes
equalized and relief given the thinly
populated districts, without depriving
worthy children of an education. The
burdens upon the land of the farmer,
especially should be lessened. I favor
ulso, bettering the roads by state aid,
in some of the counties unable to Im
prove their highways.
"In the face of the popular uprising
and revolt all over the state, the com
monwealth is dishonored by the liuim
that one man owns one hundred and
llfty votes out of the two hundred and
fifteen chosen men, composing the next
legislature not yet assembled.
HAS NO QCARREL.
"I speak plainly on this subject be
cause I have been assailed and mis
represented for having had the alleged
audacity to maintain that any citizen
might aspire to a place supposed to be
open to all who cared to contest for It.
I have no quarrel with any one. and
have not been a party to any attack
made on any Individual. I have simp
ly fallen In with my own inclinations
for usefulness and bent to the wishes
of thousands of people who have been
writing to me, or seeing me. urging my
consent to serve as senator. As one
man declares it Is necessary to defeat
me, I also declare that It is not at alt
necessary to elect me. If another is
preferred before me, I will neither be
come sour, sullen nor savage only go
on In whatever seems to be the next
duty; and since I believe with many
others the day has come to overthrow
the present arogant and defiant polit
ical thraldom, we shall not stop with
one skirmish or half a battle.
"The Business Men's league, un
righteously assaulted, is composed of
men from every avenue of life who
work for a living. The organization
has come to stay. Its members have
pledged themselves to continue to
serve In the effort to put the state, not
under a new boss, but under the direc
tion of Republican machinery composed
of more than a single wheel. The as
sociations have not been organised to
elect one or two senators, but to take
up the olllces of state treasurer, audi
tor general, governor and others ns
they come uround. as well as the next
legislature. If some men have noth
ing to do but return themselves to of
llce, this association will take steos to
see that 'heir records of service show
worthiness of election or re-election.
These are the coming practical living
questions that will make a self-respecting
Republican party again. And
In such a warfare I am sure the people
will triumph."
STATE ORGANIZATION.
It Will He formed by the Wnr
Veterans Association.
Philadelphia. Dec. 2!l. The first steps
were' taken at a meeting held at the
Grand Army headquurters toward the
formation of a state organization of
the war veterans' association. There
were present ubout a score of repre
sentatives from seven counties In the
state, w ho derided to call a meeting for
the permanent organization at Harris
burg on January 2X. The War Vet
erans' association differs from the
i.i rand Army in having political ob
jects, favoring the Republican party.
At present the membership in Phila
delphia Is 17.(100, Allegheny 1.IHI0. Read
ing Lino. Chester ion. Hairisburg 2iki,
Huntingdon county 200 and the Patri
otic league of Lancaster 1100.
At the meeting today resolutiosn were
passed condemning the present federal
administration of civil service rules as
operating against the Interests of old
soldiers.
PRINCESS AND THE GYPSY
The American Beauty and Hungarian
Musician Create a Sensation
at Buda Pest.
Puda Pest, Dec. 29. .lunoa Rlgo, the
Hungarian gypsy musician and the
Princess He Curutnnn-Cliiiiiay, former
ly Miss Clara, Ward, of Detroit, who
recently eloped from Paris, have ar
rived here from Stuhl Weissetiberg,
wh.-re they had ' been visiting Rlgo's
parents. Their presence In the city,
where the story of the elopement has
Idled much space in the newspapers,
has awakened the liveliest curiosity,
and people of all classes make ull sorts
tf efforts to see the couple. When it
became noised about that Rlgo and his
American mistress were stopping at a
hotel here hundreds of persons went
to the hotel and stood outside for hours
In the hope of seeing the pair. So large
did the crowd become that trallic on the
streets in the vicinity of the hotel was
blocked and it became necessary to
detail special police to handle the peo
ple. The princess and her paramour have
visited the theatres since their arrival
and appear to enjoy the notoriety they
have obtained through th dr liasou.
Whenever they have appeared at places
of amusement the . princess has been
blazing In diamonds, and, as she is a
remarkably beautiful woman, has ex
cited much attention. The audiences,
as soon as they discover who the couple
are, neglect the stage and devote all
their time to watching Rlgo and the
princess, who evidently delight in the
sensation they are creating. The con
trast between the two Is great. Rlgo,
who is about 35 years old, looks like
the ordinary gypsy he Is. His com
plexion is swarthy and his common an
cestry Is plainly attested in his face.
The respectable people of the city
are thoroughly disgusted with the man
ner In w hich the couile are acting and
say that ordinary decency should impel
them to keep themselves as much as
possible from the public gaze, but tills
view of the matter does not seem to
meet with the approval of the parties
most interested. Men of the world scoff
at the Idea of Rio divorcing his wife
and marrying the princess. They say
that after he jets as much money as
possible from her he will abandon her
and return to his w ife.
FRANK ARBL'CKLE'S DEATH.
Coroner's Jury Decides That It Was
Due to .Natural Cause.
New York, Dec. 29. The coroner held
an inquest today regarding the cause
of death of Frank P. Arbuckle, the
Denver politician, who died a few
weeks ago in the West One Hundred
and Fifty-second police station soon
after being found unconscious at one
Hundred and Fifty-second street and
Fight h avenue.
It was thought at first that he had
met with foul play, as bis money, over
coat and jewelry had been taken from
him, but the autopsy showed that
death was due to natural causes. The
Jury returned a verdict that death was
due to heart disease and other probable
unknown causes.

Knoxville, Tenn., Dee. 29. A double

Whaley's in her arms when the men

Jl'DCE RICH AS PRESIDENT.
Chief Justice Rice, of the superior
court, was selected as president of the
meeting. Judge Edward W. Riddle, of
Carlisle, outlined the business on hand
and explained that the particular mat
ter to be considered "Is the possibility
of formulating uniform rules of court."
The jtidtfe stated that If the matters
were favorably received by the conven
tion Jie would suggest that they be re
ferred to a 'committee to make n report
to the Judges and the bar association
at a later meeting. Judge Hechtel, of
Schuylkill, thought It advisable to div
ide the committee into two suli-conunit-tees
that each should consider one sub
ject, the rules of court or the require
ments for admission to the bar. Final
ly this resolution of.'ered by Judge Sav
uge, of Warren county, was adopted:
"That a committee of nine be ap
pointed to consider the advisability of
adopting uniform rules of practice for
court."
Judge Woodward, of Luzerne, offered
a series of resolutions to take the mat
ter of licensing liquor saloons out of
the hands uf the judiciary and to ask
the legislature fur some remedy for
what the judire considered an evil.
Judge Mcl'herson, of Harrishurg,
moved to table them and this was
done.
The afternoon session was taken up
with a lively discussion of the report of
the State Par associntion,. of which J.
A. Mcllvaln, of Washington, is chair
man, and George Wharton Pepper,' of
Philadelphia, secretary. The report
presents a plan for uniform rules gov
erning applicants for ami admission to
membership of the bar. which if
adopted would practically, It was
claimed, require attendance at law
schools. The committee reported that
it was of the opinion that the candidate
for registration should be thoroughly
prepared In those subjects which are
required for admission to the freshmen
class of average colleges of reputable
standing.
STANDARD IS TOO HIGH.
Judge Archbald, of Lackawanna,
urged that the required standard was
too high, and after some further ar
gument, Edward J. Fox, of Kaston, one
of the committee which framed the
rules, moved that a resolution be adopt
ed declaring It to be the sense of the
convention that there should be a uni
form system of rules.
This started another discussion and
finally Mr. Fox's resolution was adopt,
ed, and Walter Oeorge Smith's resolu
tion was then called up by Mr. Larza
lere, of Norristown. Mr. Larzalere
vigorously urged a high standard of
education for applicants, and charged
that. American lawyers are the laugh
ing stock of other countries.
At the conclusion of Mr. Larzalere's
remarks Mr. Pepper, was called on to
explain the proposed plans for carry
ing into effect the rules, and explained
that the rules had been prepared In or
der to bring the matter practically be
fore the Judges; that uniformity could
be obtained by spontaneous action of
the courts.
Judge Sulzberger, of Philadelphia,
finally secured a compromise by the
following amendment to Mr. Smith's
motion:
Thnt It be recommended to the courts of
the several districts that the rules for
the education and admission of attorneys
as presented bv the committee be sub
mitted to the board of examiners In each
county, wl'h the request that a wrb'.en
report Ailh suggestions shall lie present
ed thereo'i in tone to enable the secretary
of the State Hur association to examine
and digest suid reports for the next an
nual meeting of ihe association, in order
that the o 'iiilo-. of the bar of the state
may be ascertained 1 l!or to any detlnUc
action on .he subject ry the courts.
The amendment was accepted by Mr.
Smith and passed, and the convention
adjourned to meet again at the same
time und place of meeting of the State
Par association next year.
The visiting delegates were this even
ing given a reception in Houston hall
by Provost Harrison and the trustees
of the Cnlversity of Pennsylvania, and
the many distinguished Jurists, who at
tended were received by the provost
and by Joseph C. Rosengarten and Sam
uel Dickson, of the board of trustees.
After a pleasant evening had been
spent In comparing notes of the day's
proceedings a collation was served In
the dining hull.
HOME RULE FOR CUBA.
The Reforms Will Be Instituted When
the Province ol Pinar Del Rio
Becomes Settled.
Washington, Dec. 29. While It Is not
true thut the Spanish government will
accept the mediation of the United
States in giving autonomy to the island
of Cuba, It lias been known for some
weeks that the Spanish ministry pur
pose giving the Cubans a larger meas
ure of home rule than they have hereto
fore enjoyed. President Cleveland has
been repeatedly assured that those re
forms will be inaugurated when the
province of Pinar Del Rio has been
pacified. It was in this province that
General Maeeo and his followers have
been located for the past year, and
liince Mateo's death the work of pacifi
cation has been considerably expedited.
The time Is now believed to be ripe
when the home rule reforms will be
instituted there, and also in the prov
inces of Matanzas and Havana, where
the Insurgents have never secured a
foothold.
It has been frequently asserted thnt
the Intended reforms would have been
put In operation long ago but for the In
surrection and that some of the leaders
among the Insurgents started the rebel
lion In order to prevent the reforms.
These reforms embrace the election of
the entire Cuban congress, Instead of a
mixed congress of fifteen elected mem
bers and 15 appointed by the Queen
Regent, und also a complete control by
Cuba of her tariff.
MINISTRY NOW AT WORK.
The Spanish ministry are now un
derstood to be engaged In drafting the
proposed reforms, but thus far the only
knowledge respecting them Is of a
general nature. It Is believed that they
will be completed within the next fort
night ond It Is not unlikely that a copy
will be cabled to Secretary Olney by the
permission of the Spanish government
befcre their public announcement.
CASE OF HENRY DELGAD0.
Secretary Olney Makes a Statement
Regarding the Correspondent.
Washington, Dec. 29. Secretary Ol
ney today made the following state
ment In regard to the case of Henry
Delgado, the Cuban correspondent of a
New York newspaper, who wns cap
tured by the Spaniards in the Privlnco
of Pinar Del Rio on December IS:
"It appears, from a report from the
Havana consulate that Mr. Delgado
was made a prisoner by the Spunlsh
troops In course of recent military op
erations in the Province of Pinar Del
Rio; that he is reported to have be
longed to the staff of the insurgent
Major General Maeeo and to have been
in command of the artillery and thut
a letter to Maceo and one from Maceo
to the prefect of Las Tumbas was
found on his person. It being repre
sented to the consulate that Delgado
is a native born American citizen. All
the rights to which he Is entitled under
our treaty with Spain and subsequent
protocol have been claimed for him."
Mr. Delgado Is confined in the mili
tary hospital of Sun Ambroslo outside
of Havana. The rights spoken of in
the statement consist of a trial by the
ordinary judicial authorities, unless
the prisoner "is taken with arms."
Then he must be tried by a council of
war or court martial.

nian Claims Thnt the Wananiaker
People Have Won the Fight.
llnriisburg.Pu., Dec. 29. The advance
guards of the Penrose and Wananiaker
forces were not largely increased by
fresh arrivals today, but those already
on the ground are making the most of
the situation. All sorts uf claims and
counter claims are sent out front the
rival . headquarters. Rranch Wana
niaker headquarters were opened at the
Lochlel hotel today and among those
who dropped In were Senator-elect
Samuel A. Losch, of Schuylkill, who
says the sentiment of his county Is
overwhelmingly for Wananiaker. He
expressed the opinion that four of the
live members of the house from Schuyl
kill will vote for the ex-postmaster gen
eral. Senator KaufTmun, of Lancaster,
was also here and said that Thomas
Dolan and David Martin will be here
Friday to take charge of the Wananiak
er headquarters at the Commonwealth.
The Lochlel hotel front Is covered with
a series of electric transparencies which
read downward "Philadelphia's choice
for United States senator, Hon. Roles
Penrose." At the building on Walnut
street, leased by the business Men's
leugue as headquarters, there is also a
lot of attractive decoration, the entire
front being covered with bunting, flags
and shields. There will also be a big
electric transparency. A car load of
furniture was placed In the building
toduy and It Is being fitted up as per
manent headquarters of the league for
the winter.
WEI LEU FOR PENROSE.
Representative Jerry N. Welter, a
Democratic member from Carbon, has
declared for Penrose because of his
support of measures endorsed by the
State Railroad Employes' association.
Representative Judson Phelps, a free
silver Republican from Crawford, will
Vote with the Democrats because he
was elected on a fusion ticket. He
really favors Senator Comeron. Sen
ator Haines, of York, who was here to
day, thinks the Democrats will support
ex-Lieutenant Governor Black. Sena
tor Kauffman says the Wanamakcr
people have the fight won and no man
ner of bluff can turn the tide. Representative-elect
Ncsblt, of Northumber
land, writes that the sentiment of his
county Is growing stronger for Wana
niaker and he Is glad his position Is
being endorsed by Ms constituents.
The Penrose men say the other Bide are
playing the old trick oj bringing out
members conceded to them and claim
