"? U' " " T- TWO 'CENTS. SCRANTON, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 21, 3899. TWO CENTS. NO CHANGE IN QUAY'S CASE The Issue Continues to Be Very Sharply Defined. PENROSE ON THE GROUND Senator Quay Is Still Detained in Washington No Urgent Necessity for His Presence nt Harrisburg. Colonel J. M. Guffoy Will Bo Present nnd May Have Some Plans to Dis closo That Will Present a Now Phase to the Situation. Special to the fccranton Tribune. Hniilshurg, Pa, Jan. 21 There was no noteworthy Incident In relation to the balloting for United States senator today by which one could predict with any material degree of accuracy the outcome of the snuggle, which Is ona of the most complicated and fierce In the annals of Pennsvlvanln politics. The lsue continues to be sharply de fined, the lines leninln tightly drawn nnd the combatants display the Fame splilt of determination that chatacter lzed theli attitude when the fight had Just begun. Tonight at one of the prominent hotels a wager of flc thou sand dollars was made on the result. Tormer Senatoi Kaufman, of Lancas ter (ounts. leoiesenting a syndicate composed of nntl-Quav people, and a ptomlueut newspaper coi respondent, acting for some filendi of the senior senatoi, made the bet. This Is simply an Instance of the confidence enter tained by both sides. Senator Quay did not "i Ivc fiom AVashlngton todav, but hl colic agti" Senatoi Penrose, came In on in eailj train He seems certain of sniu'ts The latter has been de tained at the national capitol, and his follow ei" "-a) theie Is no urgent neces silv foi hl piesence heie at this time. The do not anticipate an eaily ad Jutmnt rf the dllllculti, but confi dential! ahsm that when the time i rimes the senator will win In easy Rtv1o Piedlrtlons of all kinds tend to enliven tbe situation Some will tell Mill that Qua.v will flnallj yield and letlie fiom the field in the Inter st of lintmon), and those clove to him will give jnu to undei stand that he will do nothing of the son, that he is the caucus nominee of the Republican part mid as such has the supeilnr ilalin on the eonsldeiation of the Ro publlcan legislature Hut among the dheislfled opinions theie is not one to cheer the hearts of the Demotiuts. NO FUSION No one eems to think that the fac tional battle will become so Intense as to bring about a union of the lnde I endents and the Democrats, to the end that Qua's successor will be a soldiei In the aimy of Bryan Colonel J M. Guffey, who c initials the mlnoi lty, will be heie eail in the morning. He mav have some plans to disclose that will pies.Mit a new phase to the situation. The colonel j certainly not unmindful of the fact that bin enemies within his paity would be highly grati fied if Quay weie to be beaten 1 an independent Republican and that any eonttbgeney that would bilng the pilze to a Democrat would be unsatisfactory to them A lellectlon of these featuies, and of the Indisputable fact that the independents up to this time hae be stowed no Mibstantlal affection on the niliiotltv. might invest the colonel with a piopcr lew of the well-laid scheme to weaken his piestlge and satiate the political appetites of the men who did nothing to contest the Demoeiatlo ticket In the last campaign In short. If Guffey sires up the situation us man of his friends heie do. and cuts the bonds that tie the Democrats to Jenks, Quay's succesor will be elected this week If, on the other hand, he keeps his candidate In the Meld, the pi e ailing belief Is that It will be some tlnn before the fight shall have been bi ought to a close SENATOR LOSCH'S EXPLANATION. Senator Samuel A. Leech, of Schujl klll (ount. In anawer to the ciltlclsms of those who have found fault with his vote foi senator, said tonight: "Sly course In the pending senatoi lal con test has been entirely consistent with the pilnoiples or the Republican paitj. I did not nttend the caucus which nom- iniueci acimior yuay because i was, opposed to an eaily caucus Hut when I learned that oer two-thlids of the Republican inembeis of the, legislature participated In the caucus and unan imously agieed to suppoit Senator 3ua. 1 felt I would be seveilng all he ties which bound me to my party acre I not to accept Senator Quay as uv candidate. I have always been a Republican and believed that tho ma jority should tule. In 1891, when I was a member of the house, I voted for John Dalzell for United States sen ator In the caucus, but when Henulor Quay received tho votes of tho major -lty I supported him when the ofllclal ballot was taken. In 1S9B I repre sented my dlstilct In the senate and voted for Mr. Wanamukor In the cau cus, but when Senator Penrose was chosen by the majority of the Republi cans, I acquiesced and gave him my vote In the senate. So far an Senator Magee Is concerned, he and I have been personal and political friends for a quarter of a century. I regard him as one of the most statwart Republi cans In the state and I am glad to look upon him as my friend. My course has not been dictated by Senator Magce In this matter or anyone else. I sim ply followed my own Judgment " Representative P. J. O'Boyle, one of the Democratic representatives from Luzerne, said tonight that In his opin ion tho chances of the Democrats and the antl-Quayltes reaching nn agi ce ment on the scnatorshtp are cxtiemtly remote. Mr O'Uoylc draws attention to the fact that the Independents are not sincere In their fusion manifesta tions and adds: "Again by their ac tions almost every day since the ses sion opened, the antl-Quajltes show that they hao no use for the Demo crats. They voted for every measure or resolution introduced bv a Quaxite, but will neer ote for any measure lntroduced b a Democrat. The oppon ents of Mr. Quay also state that they will never vote for a Democrat, which Is very poor encouragement for a Dem ocrat to vote for Dalzell or Stewart. "There is no hope for fusion for the simple ioason that the time Is passed when the Democrats could gain by it" J. P. D. BALLOT FOB SENATOR. The Result Shows no Change in the Situation. Hairlsburg, Jan. 1 The fifth ballot for United States senator today showed no change In the situation Senator Quav still leads with 12 votes short of the neeessarj numbci to elect Peter A. R.

Washington, Jan 25 The board of survey appointed by Secietatj. Alger to pass upan the question of the proper condemnation of a large tiuantlty of beef destined for the troops in Porto Rico, has received from Captain Bar clay H. Wat burton of the Pennsylva nia volunteer battalion of artillery, a sworn statement of the condition ot refrigerated beef on board the trans port Manitoba which transport was at Ponce fiom August to to J5 In the course of this statement Captain War burton says 1 ate of the beef which the trans port Manitoba bi ought to Porto Rico. It was served to the officers' mess on the United States transport Mississippi which In ought my eommand baik to New York, leaving Ponce, Porto Rico, September 3, and arrived In Now- York September I", 1S9S. When I say I ate the meat I must qualify m stnlemVnt bv saying that 1 tried to eat the meat. It was so bad that It was Impossible to swallow It. In 111 opinion the meat was not good noi was it tit for issue I had no Idia that this meat bad been subjected to any chemical proiess but believed the beef to have leeomuosed on net on nt ot the lack of proper re frigerating ineilltles, caused by the clogging of the machlneiy used for that puipose on the Manitoba. I was In formed b Captain Gates who was then in command ot the Manitoba, that said mneblneiy had been e logged with sand as a result of om having run ashore whlih necessitated the reveis Ing of the screw which threw sand In to the watei pumps. In leply to vour request to give the board any other evidence eir in formation In m possession or know ledge, my answer in general Is that all beef Issued to my battalion was bad and hnd to be burled immediatel.v upon delivery at eump whleh was about two miles fiom Ponce at a place called Uanos da Quiutana. w hleh necessitated its transportation. I should say. a dis tance of sK miles from the commlsi-ary depot which was at the Playa One day In ciuestion, Private Hack, of light bat tery C, Pennsylvania volunteer urtil lery, was .sent for an lsue of beef, which his captain had ben notified would be Issued on the morning on which he was sent. On his retutrr I met the wagon and while it was some bundled and fifty yards from ine, I noticed the most tenible odoi which beetned to me to smell something like carrion. I was mounted and when I got alongside of the wagon I looked In to It and saw the meat which had been Isbued to him for light battery C, Puin svlvanla volunteer artlllerj. It looked white, nbout the color ol the holly of a flounder which had been covered with a green slime. I Instiucted him to present my compliments to hib com manding ofUcer Lieutenant Rean. with Instructions to have the same burled Immediately upon Its arrival at eanip" Captain War burton gives the mimes of 'omc witnesses whose testimony may bo ot value. THE PEACE TREATY. Objectors May Force nn Extia Session of Congiess. Washington, Jan. 23. Although the motion tor an executive session was made by the chulrman of the commit tee on foieign lelntlons the peace treat was not taken up In the senate today. The status of the tieaty as out lined bj a member of the committee who favors ratification is. Tho opponents claim to have 33 or 34 suie votes against the tieaty That would defeat it, which would necessi tate an extra sesblon. If theie Is to bo an extra session the friends of the treaty say that they mnj as well take It over urn ejected by this session. They do not propose to bring It to a vote unless they aie sure of ratification. An extra session thev say will mean nn extra session of the w hole congress unless u conditional appropilatlon Is made to pav Spain the $20,000,000 or unless some arrangement Is made with Spain to extend the? time of pavment three months. The United States it Is said, would not like to make this re quest.

AG0NCILL0 NOT RECOGNIZED Filipino Ambassador Well Treated as a Private Citizen, But Not Hon ored with Red Tapo Ceremonies. Washington, Jan. 23. Secretary Al ger this afternoon said that, while he w oulel be pleased to hear that the Fili pinos had liberated the Spanish pi li onets held bv them, he had no olllcinl Information to conllim the statement to that effect coming from Madild. General Otis has been cabled for ac curate information lespecting tile num ber of these prisoners, but bo far he had not given the Information The government Is pledged to endeavor to secure their release, and It will use every pioper effort to do so, but it can not be held to the performance of the impossible, mum be allowed Its own time und the use of what It deems tho best means to accomplish the task. It is not to be supposed for a moment that the Spanish government, no mat ter how desirous of securing the re lease of the pilsoners more speedily than could be accomplished tluough the efforts of the government, will enter into any alliance with the Insurgents. Technically, the war Is still In prog ress, although active hostilities aie suspended and any conduct on the part of the Spanish government that would tend to Increase the difficulties of the United States in 'dealing with the In surgentH may have to be reckoned for. This statement might not be held to apply to a simple effort on the part of the Spanish government to secure the leleabe of their subjects, but it could not be tolerated that they should enter Into any sort of an alliance with peo ple who are practically lit rebellion against the United States The officials here ate not moved by the repoited threat of the nilpino junta in Europe to withdraw Agonclllo and his fellows fiom Washington If they aie not speedily "recognized offic ially. While Agonclllo has been well ti cited Informally, he lias not been recognized by the government, and It may be stated positively that he will not be. HAS GONE TO WASHINGTON.
