Up His Candidacy ns un Aspirant
i'or the Ollicu of Assistant Secretary
of the Kuvy-Tliu Swallow Case.
Speclnl to the Scranton Tribune.
Hanisburg, March 10. There was a
large number of vacant seats In the
Iioum! todny. Nearly forty members,
headed by the Delaware delegation,
went to Washington this morning- In a
private ear to boom ex-Congressmnn
"Jack" lloblnson, of Media, for assist
ant secretary of the navy. According
to the information received here .Mr.
Koblnson needs all the booming he can
get. It Is even stated that It was defi
nitely decided Monday that he would
not secure the coveted place. Secre
tary Long Is said to have u man of his
own for the position. Koblnson's
friends, though, will ihnke a vigorous
effort to change the programme.
Senator Heller'presented todny In the
senate the report of the joint building
committee which has been Investigat
ing the eapltol lire, it recited the
progiess of the Inquiry, and the fact
that Uev. Dr. .Swallow refused to give
the source of his Information for the
allegation that the blaze had not been
entirely accidental.
After the leport had been read Gen
eral Gobln said the matter was one
of the most Important ever brought
before n legislative body. If a witness
could refuse to testify before a legisla
tive committee the same refusal could,
be made In court. He moved that the
report be referred to the judiciary gen
eral committee to prepare n. plan for
miction, with Instructions to report to
morrow. This was seconded by Grady,
and adopted. There Is little doubt
that the committee will advls that Mr.
Swallow shall be brought. before the bur
of the senate to be punished for con
tempt. ,
The Judiciary general committee will
tomorrow advise the senate to summon
Dr. Swallow to appear (for contempt.
Chnlnuan Walton, of tjie committee,
says the legislature has, the right to
compel the editor-preacher to uppenr.
The house committee will give the
house similar advice.

llsrnpo of Trainmen.
Danville, Pa., March 10. A disas
trous freight wreck occurred Just be
yond the liloom street crossing on the
Catuwlssa brunch of the Reading rail
road this morning at 4.30 o'clock. A
coal train, to which was attached two
pushers and u caboose,- were lying on
the main track awaiting orders, when
a following coal train coming around
a curve ran into It, wrecking three en
gines and about ten coal cars. One of
the engines was thrown down a ten-
foot embankment, alighting on its side.
The llrcmnn escaped unhurt, hut John
Nolan, the engineer, after crawling
through the window, wus found to be
severely scalded.
The caboose, containing four men,
which was thrown down on the opppo
slte side, caught lire, but the occu
pants succeeded In escaping through
the llames unhurt. The nccklent was
the result of the llngman's failure to

TO RESCUE THE PURITAN.
Tho I'axtest Ship Sunt to the Kollef of

crew cruiser Columbia, which hus been
ordered to the rescue of the monitor

Captain Sands telegraphed the navy
department that he would lenVe at 3

teras at about 5 o'clock tomorrow

authorities hope that the gale will not
increase und that Captain Unrlett, on
tho Pin Han, will be uble to keep off

Secretary Long has done the best he
could by ordering the fastest ship In
American waters to the Puritan's te
llef, the Columbia, luckily being in

SCOVEL'S RELEASE.
United States Government Had Nothing
to Do with the CaseAn Act
of Spanish Mercy.
Havana, March 10. Sylvester Scovel,
the New York newspaper correspond
ent who was nrrested a month ago and
has since been Imprisoned In the Santa
Clara jail nt Sauctl Splrltus, has been
set at liberty.
Washington, March 10. It Is learned
that the release of the New York news
paper man, Sylvester Scovel, by the
Spanish authorities was secured
through private representation, nnd not
by any application of the United States
either through Secretary Sherman or
Secretary Olney.
After Scovel's arrest Walter J. Mul
llns, his brother-in-law, and John Me
Sweeny, of Wooster, O,, his attorney,
came to Washington to solicit the In
tervention of the government in his
behalf. Secretary Olney declined to
take any steps In the mutter for the
reason that Scovel had once been ex
pelled from Cuba and had returned to
the Island In violation of his parole,
under a false name and a false pass
poit. Mr. Scovel's relatives then
suught the good olllces of the Spanish
minister, who promised to use his ef
forts to secure Scovel's release upon
certain conditions, which were:
First, that it should be regarded ns a
personal and not a diplomatic matter,
so that It might not he used as a pre
cedent in tlie future; second, that the
newspaper agitation In regard to Sco
vel's art est should be slopped, and
third, that Scovel's father should make
an appeal to the government of Spain
for Scovel's release as an act of mercy,
and not as an net of justice.
Mr. Scovel's relatives accepted these
conditions and have done their best to
cany them out. The Rev. Mr. Scovel,
who Is president of Wooster university,
sent a verj eloquent appeal on behalf
of his son which Mr. Dupuy de Lome,
tho Spanish minister endorsed with a
recommendation for the young rami's
Immediate release without trial and
forwarded It to the Spanish authorities.
Ther. has been considerable corres
pondence on the subject between Mad
rid, Havana, and the Spanish legation
In W ashington, but the intervention of
the department of state has never been
exercised or requested since the orlgi
nad Interview between Mr. Scovel's
friends and Secretary Olney.

Quay and Penrose shared this senti
ment, the former being' especially anxi
ous to give It force. Mr. Cameron,
however, peremptorily declined the
proffered honor, saying that he was a
candidate for no other mission but that
to Huriisburg, to which he would re
tire upon the expiration of his term
of service In the senate.
RECOGNITION OF PENNSYLVANIA
Upon taking olllce President McKln
ley at once conveyed to the Pennsyl
vania senators his desire to recognize
In some conspicuous jvny the splendid
soivler of the Republ'can purty In the
Keystone state during the recent
presidential campaign, In which the
Republicans of Pennsylvania led those
of all the other states. Having given
to Now York a cabinet olllce and nn
ambassadorship; having. In addition to
the fact that Ohio hud the presidency,
likewise given that stnte the chief seat
In the cabinet and the ambassador
ship to Great Britain, he was anxious
to appoint a Pennsylvania!! to the
German embassy, and would select
vvhoever the state would recommend.
C. C. Hanlson, of Philadelphia, but
that Eentlom.tr preferred his university
work. If Jehu Russell Young were to
go to Chliii', the appointment would
be a special cue, and made for special
reasons arising out of that gentleman's
former service In the east, nnd entire
ly outside of any state recognition.
Governor Hni'tlngs preferred to be gov
ernor, and the two senators thereupon
ugreed upon Churlemgne Tower, of
Philadelphia. In presenting the name
of Mr. Tower, Senator Penrose, ut a
conference held yesterday with the
president, dwelt upon his character
and ability, his familiarity with the
German, Flench und Spanish lan
guages, his fame ns nn author and ns
a doctor of laws, his efficient service
in the presidential campaign, and '.he
further face that he bore, like Mr.
Cameron, an honored name.
MR. TOWER MEETS THE PRESI
DENT. Upon the summons of Senator Pen
rose Mr. Tower came to Washington
yesterday evening and the two gentle
men had n conference last night. It
was arranged by Mr. Penrose that Mr.
Tower hould have an Interview with
the president this morning, which took
place at ! o'clock, Senator Penrose uc
compuiijlng and presenting Mr. Tower.
The object of the visit was discussed
at considerable length, The president
spoke of the missions to Austria, Bel
glum and Spain, and intimated that he
would like to have Mr. Tower go to
Havana as consul general, with an un
derstanding that at the expiration of
one year ho should be transferred to
one of the European missions. Mr.
Tower, however, for family reasons, de
clined to entertain the Havana propo
sition. The president reiterated that
he desired to give Pennsylvania a first
class diplomatic appointment, and talk
ed brli'tly uhuut Austria, Belgium and
Germany, concluding the interview by
saying' he could not determine dually
upon the matter until he hud consulted
wipi the secretary of state.
REASON FOR HESITATION.
It Is piobable that the president hes
Itatd' about committing himself to the
appointment uf Mr. Tower lu Germany
for the reusun that he doubted whether
that gentleman Is sullleientl.v prominent
before the yeoplp of Pennsylvania and
the country for selecting as ambasMi
dor. lu selecting n diplomatic repre
sentative the sentiment of the court to
which the person selected U to be ac
credited should be given consideration.
The greater the distinction at home of
the men selected for diolomutlo places
the greater will be the pleasure of those
to whom they are accredited und the
more cordial tnelr welcome. This dis
tinction Is not an essential, but Its
posi-ession Is of great advantage, as It
enables tho representative to be inure
useful to the government In the dis
charge of his public duties. While Mr.
Tower may not be given the German
embassy It Is understood that he will
bo tendered a Hr3t-clafi mission, and
prosunmblv Austria or Belgium, as he
may elect.
Alter his interview with the presi
dent Mr. Tower returned to Philadel

THE SENATE ADJOURNS.
Appointment of Mr. Blackburn's Suc
cessor Is Referred to the Committee
on Privileges and Elections.
Washlnston, March 10. In the sonata
today a eoinniunleutlon was read from
the Kovernor of Kentucky statins that
he had appointed Andrew T. Wood
senator from that state to supply the
vucaney caused by the expiration of the
term of Senator Ulackburn. The gov
ernor seems to rely for his authority
to make tills appointment on the fact
that the vacancy happened when the
state legislature was not lu session. A
motion by Mr. Hoar that Mr. Wood
be admitted to tnlie the oath was not
pressed, and the ituestlon was on mo
tion of Mr. (Ionium referred to the
committee on privileges and elections.

ments to the rules of the senate that
he would urge, radically changing the
procedure of the senate. One was to
provide for the operation of the previ
ous question sifter a subject had been

seconded by a majority of the senaie.
The other proposes to authorize the
vice-president to determine without the
formality of a roll call when the point
of no quorum is made, whether or not
one Is present.

In the consideration of executive busi
ness the senate at 12.40 adjourned sine
