Philadelphia, Jan. 16. With the re
organization of the Republican city
committee yesterday the complete vic
tory of tke Q'iay-1'enrose element in
the Republican party of this city was
forcibly expressed. The will of the
Republican voters was indicated at the
primary election last Tuesday and the
ward committees, elected representa
tives to the city committee who are in
jucord with the stalwart element.
Tuere are 41 wards in this city, and
from all but seven of these wards
friends of the Quay-Penrose lead jrship
were chosea to the city committee. It
was demonstrated yesterday that th 3
city organization will hereafter be
overwhelmingly in favor of maintain
ing the regular Republican organiza
tion of the state, of which G-eneral
Frank lleeder is chairman, and which
sustains the administration of Gov
ernor Willicm A. -Stone and will sup
port Quay and Penrose in national
politics. All of the ten delegates elect
ed in this city to the Republican na
tional convention will co-operate with
the state organization, as even the one
delegate piiked out by Mania Man
ufacturer Bromley, is a stalwart Re
publican. Republicans of Philadelphia do not
appear to be eager to help Martin get
back at Quay, nor do they seem to
grow wildly enthusiastic over Wana
makcr's ambition, regardless of ex
pense, to shine as a member of the
United States senate.
A BEGGARLY SHOWING.
A grand total of nine delegates out
the SS to the state convention from
Philadelphia Vanamaer's own city)
is the full strength of the Martin
Wauaroaker combine against Quay, de
veloped us the result of the appeal to
the K.-lmbllcan voters at last Tues
day's primaries.
The most significant feature of the
delegate election returns came from
the fashionable suburb of German
town, where many of the most pros
perous business men reside. The fight
against the Quay forces in these dis
tricts was lea by th; secretary of the
so-called Business Men's Republican
League, which since it espoused the
cause of Wanamaker has dwindled in
membership until it includes but few
more than the manufacturers and mer
chants who sell goods to the mer bant
prince's big department stores. They
are. of course, staunch Wanamaker
men. and the names of many of them
apiear attached to frec,uent anti-Quay
prominciamc-ntos, which are issued
from tUlo 'c-ague for publication in the
newspapers which carry the immense
Wanamaker advertisements. William
T. Tiliien. the secretary of this league,
and a rampant anti-Quay man, and
State Senator Henry, who has been a
constant visitor to Washington recent
ly, working against the seating ot
Colonel Quay in the I'nited States sen
ste, were both defeated at the primary
election and full fledce Quay adher
ents were elected. Senator Henry,
throughout his entire senatorial dis
trict, did not succeed in electing a sin
gle anti-Quay delegate to the state
convention. There was gloom at the
headquarters of the Business Men's
League when the news was received
that the conventions had all been con
trolled by the Quay men in the dis
tricts in which they counted on as
their strongholds.
The importance of the capture of all
but nine of the delegates to the state
convention may be appreciated when
It is knowc thr.t outside of Pittsburg
there will scarcely be a corporal's
guard of anti-Quay delegates in the
coming state convention. The cities
of Harrtsburg. Altoona, Scranton,
Reading, Ailentovn, Wilkecbarre, Lan
caster and many of the smaller towns
Will all go on record as supporting
Colonel Quay, and the country districts
where Quay has always been strongest
will be sure to follow the lead of those
that have already been heard from.
WILL REPEAT ITS INDORSEMENT.
The Republican state convention
which nominated Colonel Barnett, who
was elected state treasurer in Novem
ber, indorsed the action of Governor
Stone in appointing Colonel Quay to
the vacancy ia the United States sen
ate, and the action of Philadelphia's
district conventions leaves no room to
doubt that a similar resolution could
be passed at the coming state conven
tion by a large majority.
The Quay issue was brought promi
nently to the front In the Republican
city convention which met in Indus
trial nail. Ten candidates were named
for magistrates. The convention was
absolutely in the control of the Quay
Penrcse element. They could nomi
nate any one they pleased. It is al
most superfluous to say that they were
not kindly disposed toward Magistrate
Jermon. before whom Senator Quay's
political enemies had him arraigned ta
the celebrated conspiracy case. Though
Quay's counsel then and there produc
ed evidence to show the conspiracy
back of the prcsecution and protested
that the aiTests were made purely to
Injure him politically and to help his
political opponents. Magistrate Jer
mon, to the great delight of all the
Wananiakeriies. held Colonel Quay for
court, and it was thus made imiossible
for him to secure the vindication he
received by the verdict of the jury
until the next day after the legislature
adjourned, with the diadlock on the
United States s2T.atorship unbroken.
The minority of the Republicans, fol
lowers of Martin, of this city, and
Flinn, the boss of the Pittsburg ma
chine, with the Wanamaker newspa
per influence backing them, held their
combination with fhe Democrats and
prevented an election of senator.
This, however, was a time when the
newspapers of Philadelphia, which
carry a daily fuh page advertisement
of Wanamaker's shops on their back
pp.ges, failed to influence the Republi
cans of the Quaker City. For the last
month the columns of these journaU
have fairly teemed with fulsome praise
of Magistrate Jermon and the influ
ences back of Jermon were manifest in
the booming of this aspirant for re
nomination. Wanamaker's daily news
paper and that owned by a son-in-law
of the ambitious merchant were most
persistent champions of th? magis
tT.te who held Senator Quay for court.
Every one of the five morning papers
end two of the afternoon journals
which have been assailing Colonel
Quay made Jermon a particular favor
ite of all the candidates seeking re
aomination. JERMON SNOWED UNDER.

yuay have certainly good reason to be
gratified at the result of the voting at
the Repubiican primary elections last

tions. It is a vindication and an in
dorsement of the most emphatic kind
of the action of those Republicans who.
as members of the legislature of Penn

mous nominee of their party's caucus
for United States senator.
QUAY'S STRENGTH IK PENNSYL
VANIA. "With very few exceptions the dele
gates elected to the Republican state
convention to the Republican state
convention are in accord with the pres
ent leadership of the Republican party
in Pennsylvtnla. and in entire sym
pathy with the action of the last Re
publican state convention, which, by
an overwhelming vote, indorsed the
action of Governor Stone in appoint
ing Matthew Stanley Quay to the va
cancy in the United States senate, oc
casioned by the failure of the legis
lature to elect. A great majority of
the Republicans are in entire harmony
with their party organization, and de
spite the efforts of the so-called insur
gents they elected Colonel William A.
Stone to the governorship. Colonel
James E. Barnett. the brave com
mander of the "fighting Tenth Penn
sylvania regiment, who. last fall,
with the laurels still fresh upon his
brow from glorious work in fighting
the insurgents in the Philippines, was
called upon to confront a horde of po
litical guerrillas in his native state,
whose sole reasons for opposing his
election as state treasurer were that
he was a friend of Colonel Quay and
the fear that his election might
strengthen Quay and thwart the po
litical ambitions of his Republican op
ponents. Well, the Republicans of
Pennsylvania passed upon that issue,
and when the election returns came
in Colonel Barnett. an avowed Quay
supporter, was found to have received
a plurality of 109.S31. He was the first
Republican candidate in several years
te receive a majority of all the votes
cast in this state, receiving K5.P12 more
votes than the Democratic. Prohibition
and scattering votes combined.
"The people of Pennsylvania have
more than once shown, as Philadel
phia did today, their contempt for the
methods employed in tbeae anti-Quay
campaigns. When the Republican na
tional convention meets in this city
in June next Colonel Qcay will be
found at the head of the Pennsylva
nia delegation to that convention, and
by more than a tnre-fourth3 vote he
will be chosen to again represent this
state on the Republican national com
mittee. The opposition to Quay, as it
was to Governor Stone and Colonel
Barnett is largely to be found In cer
tain newspapers."

TIIE C1IAKI0T OF OLD
A GRIM REMINDER OF THE COMBATS
OF THE HEROIC PERIOD.,

The chariot was used In antiquity
for the battle, the chase. In public pro
cessions and in games. It bad two
wheels and was drawn by two horses,
and when one or two horses were add
ed, they were attached to each side of
the main pair by a side trace, fastened
to the front of the chariot.
These chariots have only come down
to us iu fragments, with the exception
of the one in the arcbx-ological muse
um of Florence, which Is a unique os
ti tuple cf a war charlot.'the so called
"Biga dl Frassino." found by Rossclb
ueo In a Thebes tomb. It Is certainly
as old as the fourteenth century B. C
It is probably a trophy obtained In the
north by some Egyptian warrior.
There is au entire abseuce of me'cl
la the construction. Immediately oti
the asle. without springs of any kind,
rests the basket, or tody. of the chari
ot, which consisted of a floor to stand
on and a semicircular guard around
the front and about half the height of
the driver. It Is entirely open at the
back, so that the combatants might
leap to the ground and up again, as le
came ucccs-snry by the exigencies of
action. There was no seat, and gener
ally In war chariots there .was only
room for the combatant and his chari
oteer to stand lu.
The pole, as In the present instance,
was usually attached to the middle of
the aslc. although to outward appear
ances it looked as though It sprang
from the front of the bafckeC At the
end of the pole was the yoke, which
looked like a rum's horns. Deluding
from this by leather thongs was a Y
shasd piece, which probably took
the place of the modern horse collar.
Probably broad bam hi were also fined
around the chest of the animals.
Itcsidcs the harness of each horse
there ..-ere a bridle and a pair of reins
somewhat in the same style as are In
useat the present day. These were made
of leather and were ornamented with
studs of Ivory aud metaj. The reins
were passed through rings attached
to the collar and were long enough to
lie tied around the waist of the chariot
eer in case of his having to defend him
self. The wheels and liody wen usually of
wood, strengthened Iu places with
bronze or Iron. The wheels had from
four to eight spokes, and the tires
were of bronze or Iron (In the present
instance ash was used), and the pins
which secured the fellies were of fossil
lioue.
This description applied lo the chari
ots of almost any of the natious of an
tiquity, the difTerence consisting chief
ly in the mountings. Thus the chariots
of the Egyptians and Assyrians, with
whom the bow was the principal arm
of attack, were richly mounted with
quivers full of arrows, while those of
the Greeks, who used the spear, were
plain except as regards mere decora
tions. The Persians and the ancient
KritoDs used a class of chariots having
the wheels mounted with sharp, sickle
shaped blades, which cut to pieces
whatever came In their way. This was
probably the invention of the Persians.
The use of the battle (-harlot really
belongs to the heroic period. The war
rior.standing bv the side of his chariot
eer. was driven l:i frout of the line to
invite hostile warriors to single com
bat. Arter the strategic skill of a com
mander superseded the demands on
his personal valor the chariot was
iraasferretl from the battlefield to the
hippodrome, where alone its original
form was preserved. The description
of the Homeric battle chariot, there
fore, to a great extent also applies to
the historic chariot of the race course.
The small diameter of the chariot
wheel may le explained from the de
sire of preventing the chariot from be
ing opposed by the impediment In the
battlefield, such as debris or dead bod
ies. The rim was usually formed of
four fellies, into which the four spokes
were let. The upper rail which was of
either wood or metal, varied greatly In
form and was intended to be grasped
by the warrior on Jumping on to the
chariot, while the front part served for
fastening the reins and the traces of
the "wheel horses." In the Roman tri
umphal chariot a covering of leather
served to ward off missiles, and later
on the sides were composed of strong
boards.
Unfortunately we know rt-ry little of
the vehicles of everyday use in those
days. They nearly all seem to be a va
riety of what we now term the "gig."

Railroad people have an arrange

gauge and Is connected with the axle,
so that the pointer registers the num

are so many revolutions to the mile,
aud by an Ingenious arrangement the
number of miles au hour is shown up
on the dial. The apparatus Is expen

The late Jay Gould was one of the
first to adept It. aud shortly after a

One of the most thrilling and won
derful sights lu the world is that of the
tunny fisherie of the Mediterranean
sea. The pursuit of these great aud
swift fishes is nota mere tame operation
of nettiug. It Is a fight between man
aud sea creatures such as is duplicated
Uow ben- except lu the whale fisheries.
The tunny Is a huge mackerel. lie is a
predaceous llsh. aud his course through
the seas is that of a destroyer without
parallel. So deadly Is the tuuny to the
schools of hvrriug aud similar rood
fishes that he is culled the herriug hog.
In our waters he Is knowu more gen
erally as the horse mackercL
The tuuiiy fisheries ore distinctly Eu-roiK-an.
aud they are the oldest Indus
try that is knowu iu the Mediterranean
sea. To capture tliem men must baud
themselves together lu large bodies,
for fishermen ilugly could do cjthlng
with these fishes, which grow toa s-ngib
of len feet and weigh over half a lou
sometimes. Therefore there Is a sy
tem of co-opera t iu oil the coasts that
are visited by the tunny, u system
which dates back to the Pbu-uiciaiiH.
who were treat tunny catchers lu their
time.
The perfection of this system is due.
among other things, to the fact that
the big fishes have absolutely regular
habits. In normal times they cau lie
relied on to make their apis-aniuce at
certain jieriods almost to the miuute.
When they come, it is iu huge schools
that can uw scvu afar, for they scour
the waters like ships of war. auu the
leaping or their prey and the leapings
of their own bulky bodies beat the
deepluto white foam uud lather.
Since they are so exact lu their hab
its, the fish.-ruieu prepare for them al
wuys liefore they arrive. Al some des
ignated sKl art- spread enormous uets.
exceedingly deep aud nrade of the
strongest of I'ue. These are not de
signed to calch the tuuuies. They are
spread out merely to force the fishes to
edge iu and iu until they are led lo Un
real prison ucL which is a vast con
trivance wt iu au immense square uud
powerful euough to defy anything that
swims.
As soon as the lust of the school has
eutered this Iwxlike uiclosure the sides
of the great net are raised at a signal.
At first the Imprisoned fishes do uot
show any signs of alarm, but us the
net rises. Inch by Inch, from the water
depths gleaming, swordlike backs ap
pear here aud there uliove the surface,
dart lug with incredible swiftui-ss from
side to side or the UcL Each distant
more or Ihee living blades appear
above tiie surface.
Then the fishes begiu to leap. Here
one launches himself straight out of the
water T00 pounds of glorious lir to
ward the sky. to crash back into the
sea with a fiuillike blow of sides aud
tail thai makes the ocean echo. An
other ami a uot her rises aud falls back.
Soou the scene Is as if the abysses of
the sea. were spouting their inhabit
ant, for hundreds of Immense ilver
tlashlug fishes rise everywhere at once
within the net
l'.t:t now a new element eutcrs.
Long, uarrow fishing boats push Into
the luclosure. In them staud brown
men with la-uces and spears and big
knives lashed lo poles. Theu begins a
fight that Is terrible to see. The men
thrust madly iuto the struggling mass
es of fishes. The fishes leap and roll aud
dive and leap again, hamtneriug the
sea with tails that churn like Un
screws of steamships and whiten the
waves with foam. Before many mlu-
Utes boats and men are drenched with
bloody water. The surface of the
ocean Is red. Out of the smoking
spray peer faces now and then that are
dabbled with blood till hcy look
scarcely human.
Now and then a man slips and falls
among the harried fishes. Then there
are loud screams from his companions
and cries of supplication from him ns
he calls to his patron saiut. for it Is no
Joke to fad among those mighty Inxlies
that are dashing around in their death
throes.
So the fight continues till in that In
closed space of sea there Is not a fish
alive. Every boat Is half full of water
and loaded down with living silver,
where the slim, piratical bodies of the
beautiful fishes lie. The inhabitants of
the town near the scene of this fishing
make a fete day of the arrival of the
tunny, for it means food and employ
ment for many hundreds of men. wom
en and children. The fish Is a favorite
article of food, especially when salted,
and the roe Is a great delicacy, which
brings rancy prices. The tunnies that
are caught off the Italian coasts hare
to be passed through the custom lions
when they are lauded, like any other
merchandise, and the streets there pre

"This Is I he second time I have for

Writica: ou "Jlaklus Compauy of
Guests." Kdward Bok. In The Indies
l!ome Jounial. considers "it a curious
f let that American housewives are so
loath to believe that a dinner with Tuss
and feathers Is dreaded by the vast
majority of ja-ople. The highest com
plimeut we can sslhly chow a jfuest
at dinner Is to let him partake of au
ordinary meal, to let him come tiictly
tn and 'be one of the family." yet this
is the very compliment which we with
hold from him. Instead of Rivin- a
puest what he v. cub! relish most we
give him what he really enjoys least.
"Let a hostess lie ever so graceful
and tactful. let there tie years of ex
perience on her shoulders, yet nothing
can couceal from ht-r guests that the
tlluuer which she Is serviu Is other
than an unusual oik-. It is a formal ::f
fair. and uo amount of grace can make
anything else of it. for nothing speaks
so loudly or so unerringly as a formal
company dinner. Every course shows
It; every movement of the waitress pro
claims It: every piece of china fairly
cries out the occasion.
"And of course no one at the table
really enjoys it. The guest cert .1 inly
does not. because he kuov.s he is lic:t:g
made company of. and that feeling is
always enough to offset every enjoy
ment. The hostess does not. Tir she
