Yesterday's daily papers contain what purports to be an interview iih ex-Senator Quay, in which be emphat iU.v announces his candidacy for re election arid expresses confidence in his ability to win before the next LegU! ture. Tbeone real danger that confronts H jay is that our prophetic friend, State Seuator Weller, may conclude to elect Senator Flinn before the next Legibla ture meets. In the matter of the objections filed by W. II. Koont and S. A. Kendall to contest the validity of the certificate of nomination of W. II. Banner and Fred Rowe as the Republican nomi nees of Somerset County for members of the State Legislature, the Dauphin County Court has fixed Thurtday, June 7, at 10 o'clock a. m , as the time for the hearing. The objections of Messrs. banner and Rowe to the validity of the certificate filed in be half of Messrs. Koontz and Kendall will probably be heard at the same time. The case of William A. Clark, of Montana, whose right to a seat in the United States Senate has been adverse ly acted upon by the committee of privileges and elections on account of briberies and corrupt practices by his agents, has assumed a new phase, and in the absence of precedents the Senate is hesitating how best to dispose of the matter. Before the Seiiate acted upon the reaol'jtion of the committee Mr. Clark resigned his seat, whereupon the Lieutenant-Governor of Montana, in the absence of the Governor, appointed Mr. Clark to fill the vacancy caused by nis resignation. Two days after wards Governor Smith, who had meanwhile returned from California to the Montana capital, revoked the appoiutmeut of Ciark aud named Mar tiu McGinuis for the vacant seat in the Senate. The Kentucky goveruoithip case was decided Monday by t ie United States Supreme Court in the interest of Beckham, affirming the decision of the Kentucky Court of Appeals. The opinion was handed down by Chief Justice Fuller and the case was dis missed for want of jurisdiction. He Slid the Court should be the last to overstep the bounds limiting its own jurisdiction and that the determination of cases of this character contests for State otSce must necessarily be settled by the political branch of the govern ment That branch acted ic the Ken tucky CJse when the General Assembly took jurisdiction. There was no appeal from the Assembly's decision, wb!.-h wn favorable to Goebel and Beckhaai, except to the tribunal of tr people, which tribunal, the Chief Justice said, was always in session. He also sail the case waa purely a State affair; that Kentucky waa in the full possession of i'.s faculties as a member of the union, and that there was no emergency at this time calling for interference The opinion was not unanimous Justices Brewer, Harlan, Brown and McKenna dissenting. Since the acquittal of ex-Senator Q lay, in April, 1S!, ou the indictment charging him and ex-State Treasurer Haywood with the illegal use ot State miueys, an indictment against Hay wod, Qaay and his son, Richard li. O jay, one against Haywood alone, and Auother against ex-Senator Quay alone for similar oflenses, have been pending in the Philadelphia quarter sessions. Now that there is no further political end to be served by prosecution, they have been disposed of by formal ver dicts of acquittal, on the motion of the District Attorney. A dispatch from Philadelphia announcing this termina tion of the cases, says: "The District Attorney, in bis eppli caliou to the Court, explained thai M. S. Q-iay and Haywood had been tried aud acquitted of the charge of convert ing public money to their own use, and that the pending indictments depended on the same evidence to sustain a con viction as did the indictmeut which was tried. The District Attorney thought it proper and just that th in dictments should Dot be pressed as to M. S. Quay, as that would practically result in a retrial after acquittal, and, as the corn rnoa wealth was not in pos beMtion t evidenee to establish the guilt of K. R. Quay, and as Benjamin J. Haywood is dead, be asked that ver dicts ot not guilty be taken in each rase. Judge Biddle, without com ment, consented, and a jury being called, and no evidence offered ou the part of the commonwealth, verdicts of acquittal were taken." Thus, with the admission that ex Senator Quay could not be convicted, ao; the cool confession that there waa m evidence sgain Richard R. Quay, the incident is closed. A still more lame and impotent con clusion of the prosecutions for attempts to bribe members of the Legislature, at iU last session, has been announced. Since the failure to convict ex Senator Coyle, on U e charge cf trying to bribe Representative Eugler, St is said that the otbr indictmcuts will be abandoned. DITTIES OF TtZZ WA1DI3S.

Washisotox, May 17. More than 1,000 veteran sailors and marines of the Civil war have filed applications to the Navy department to have removed tt charges of desertion. This action wn taken in anticipation of the bill extend ing indefinitely theact of 1888, relative to what are known as "innocent desertions,' becoming a law. The bill bas passed first one House and then tbe other, but only yesterday parsed both in one aei sion. It now goes to the President. No oue knows how many veterans are affected by this act. At tbe close of tbe Civil war many thousand sailors and marines reported at Philadelphia to be mustered out. Tbe receiving ships did not afford accommodations for more than a Hin all fraction of them, and after wait ing for many days for tbe mustering out officer and being told that tbey were not wanted, the men drifted off to their homes. Technically every one of the men was a deserter acd the act is intend ed to remove that stigma from their names. m Illness Inflnesoed Juror. Wilkesbarrs, Pa., May 17.

Fcr the first time since the rebellion the bouse to day passed a measure to pay confederate sol diers for losses growing out of tbe civil war. Jt was a bill iutroducei by Mr. Cox (Tenn.) to pay the coufuderate sol diers who surrendered at Appomattox far the loss of horses and other personal effects taken from them in violation of the terms of Lee's capitulation to Grant, by which officers an . men of Lee's army were allowed to retain their baggage, side arms and horses. The bill originally carried 3)0.000, but the specific sum was stricken out and tbe appropriation was made indefinite. Got Sabititatee to Die For Thea. Vancouver, B. C. May 19. Mail ad vices from China brings the information that the North China News makes ths sensational statement that tbe murderers of Missionary Brooks have fouud sub stitutes to suffer the death penalty or life imprisonment in their stead and the au thorities have permitted them to make the change. Tbe man who delivered the blow that killed Mr. Brooks was sen tenced to death. For $1,000, the pv er says, be got an opium fiend, who aad a few months to live, to aow himself to be decapitated in bis stead, and tbe substi tute wss duly killed. Tbe second roan was condemned to singulation. Tbe story says be psid a consumptive fWOto be strangled in his stead, and the third murderer got a third substitute to tske life imprisonment in his place for $300. Tbe remarkable story says that 219 men broken down in health, offered them selves as substitutes that tbey might per form one good act for their parents before their lives were ended by banding them a sum of money which to poor people in China would be a fortune. 7ereets Siiappeariag. The timber tracts in the mountains of Fayette and Somerset counties are des tined to be comparatively short lived. Operation in lumber are extremely heavy and have been far the last two years. Prior to that time tbe lumber business wss one of no small proportions in the mountain forests of these two Southwestern Pennsylvania counties, but there was not the rush that has charac terized the Uade for two years past. Sawmills are humming six days a week on nearly all the good timber tracts in the local mountain. What little is not under operation is being held by tbe original owners. A few days ago, says tbe Connellsville Courier, a f 10,0t offer was made for a fair-sized tract in Somer set county, with an agreement not to touch a stick of it for fifteen years, tbe idea being to bold it with other small tracts until the mountains are cleared of timber. The offer was not accepted. Tim ber is almost as valuable as coaL A local lumber dealer is authority for the state ment that in ten years good timber land in this or Somerset county will be worth more than coal land in the Connellsville district: The inroads are so heavy that tbe territory is denuded with remarkable rapidity. Millions of feet are being sawed annually, and tbe life of tbe local tiade is declared to be limited to from ten to fifteen years. Tbe growth of new timber will not ccme within the present generation. For tbe first ten years it is kept down to tbe bare point of starting by forest fires. Then its development is very slow and half a century will roll around before it reaches a size that would dignify the ter ritory on w hich it grows with the appear ance of a forest. Railroads are tbe ruination of forests. It takes about 2,000 ties to lay a mile of track, and there is in tbe United States about 200,000 miles of track. Ties last but a few years, when tbey must be re newed. Probably 30,000,000 tit are in use in this country, and in half a dozen years a large proportion will have given way to new ones. Such small timbers as mine props, railroad ties, hoop poles and tbe like cot into tbe small treew, which would make large trees in time if tbey might grow. Tbe pulp mills of the coun try take small spruce and poplar trees by tbe hundreds of square miles. Tbe Christmas tree trade ruins prospective forests. At no stage of its life is a tree free from tribute to tbe wants of man. But man will puy some day for bis prod igality, although with what he will pay nobody knows. The Centos and Perione Away from Home Daring Jane. The count of the people in tbe United Slates will !egin in all parts of the coun try June 1. and end in tbe cities two weeks later and in tbe rest of the country before tbe close of tbe month. The peo ple are to be counted at their places of residence, but as many persons and fam ilies will be away front their homes dur ing June there is some danger that such persons will not be counted. If they are not counted, the locality in which they live will be misrepresented to thatei tent, and in some cases this misrepresen tation may be enough to affect the rocre senlation in Congress of the SjUp from which they come. Lots! pride and State pride, therefore, should iriluence all such absentees to take reasor able precautions against beiug omitted from enumeration in their places of residence. Such omis sions are most likely to occur in the large cities where families close their homes and go elsewhere for the summer. Tbe occurrence of tbe Paris exposition this year is likely to increase the number ab sent from tbe country. In all cases of contemplated absence the head of the family is requested by the Census office to communicate with too Supervisor of tbe district in which he lives. He is also requested to leave in formation regarding his answers to the questions which are to be asked with some responsible neighbor who will agree to see that it reaches the enuiera tor on his rounds. Such information might better be left as a memorandum in writing, as in tbat case it is less likely to be overlooked. Tbe questions to which answers are desired apply prl marily to the population, but also to all farms snd manufacturing establishments. They are being published from time to time in tbe press of the country. .

EAISIKa FOWLS FOB XAHKET. A Sack and Chicken Sanefc One of West moreland Coanty'i Indaetriea. One of tbe novel "industries" of this county, aud tbe only one of its kind in tbe State west of ilarrisburg, says tbe Westmoreland County Democrat, is tbe duck and chicken ranch owned aad con ducted by Harry O. Steiner, of Manor Station. Tbe plant consists of a one- story feeding and shelter bouse, SOil feet, from which extend 12 parallel pens, made of woven wire 80x0 feet. At the present time Mr. Steiner is engaged in raising ducks, all of which are hatched in incubators aud then pi. iced in brooding machines, from which, at U. age of one "eelt, tbey are transferred to the pens. In the 12 pens are ducks ranging from one to ten weeks old, sna as there are usually from 430 to 500 of them in the pens at a time, the amount o? quacking is something extraordinary. Tho eggs from which the ducks are hatched are tbe product f a large fbck of old Imperial Pekin du' ks, kept in a breeding bouse. 15x4S feet, adjacent to the little duck pens. Tins latter building is soon to be enlarged to 15x88 feet. Tbe duck raising season runs from March to October and the chicken season the balance of tbe year. At ten weeks of age the ducks are kiild, stripped of their feathers and shipped to tbe New York market, to which point tbe chickens are alo sent. Mr. Steiner's output this year will run about 2,000 ducks and 2,500 chick ens. Tbe ducks weigh about six pounds each and the market price ranges from 40 cents per pound at tbe opening of the season to 20 cents at the close. Chickens, or "broilers," as they are called, weigh from three to fonr pounds per pair, and the market price varies from 25 to 40 cents per pound. Tbe shipments of ducks begin iu April, and of chickens about January 1st. Soft fted, with a mixture of beef scrap and green cut bone occs sionally, is given the ducks, while the chickens are also kept on soft feed, with intervals of bard grain. The ducks con sume 150 pounds of feed and drink 100 gallons of water daily, no swimming place being provided. Up to their fourth week tbe ducks are fed five times per diy ; to seventh week four times, and to tenth week three times. The loss of ducks is about two per cent., and of chickens from five to eight per cent. The ducks are killed by "sticking" them in the roof of tbe mouth with a double-edged lance. Some science is required In this operation, for if pioperly 'Stuck," with the blade penetrating the brain, the duck will bleed well and tbe feathers shnost drop off; but if the job is bungled, tbe feathers seem to be riveted in the flesh and can scarcely be palled out. An expert picker will clean op fo 70 ducks per day, while an ordinary band will clean about 40 or more. The feathers obtained avenge probably 5J nents per duck Between chickens and ducks, the latter are more easily raised and profitable. Mr. Steiner bas at present about sixty turkey eggs in process of batching, as an ex perl meet, although the raising of these fowls for market is not regarded favor ably, as tbey are delicate to handle and the losses are heavier than in tbe breed-" ing of chickens or ducks. .

(Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, May 22. Colonel M. 8. Quay will be elected to succeed himself as the member of the Republican na tional committee from Pennsylvania. This announcement la made at this time in view of the fact tha - an effort is being made by the Republican insur gent and Democratic newspaper to create the Impression that Colonel Quay proposes to retire from the na tional committee and that his with drawal from or active participation in the management of the party organiza tion in the presidential campaign will be followed by his absolute retirement from ""c- The Persistence wi'.h which these storied are circulated by the opponents of tue Beaver statesman ia a very good indication of the opin ion they hold of the strength of the veteran leader as a party manager ana an opponent of their schemes to got control or the party organixatlon of the Republican party in Pennsylvania. Tli rnll7 that Colonel Quay is etrone with he people and that many party men who might not otherwise take an active interest in' the affairs of the Republican organization are at tached to Colonel Quay and will al ways go out of their way to serve him and to help any organization of which he is the acknowledged leader. The insurgent machine of the Keystone state has found it pretty rough sled ding in the movement to unhorse Col onel Quay as the party leader. While here and there, through disappoint ments of aspirants for office or other causes, the insurgents have gotten a foothold outside of their Pittsburg stronghold, they have utterly failed to make any favorable Impression upon the masses of the Republican voters, and they feel that their only hope lies in getting Colonel Quay out of their path. Even if they cannot actually accom plish this they believe that by letting the impression get abroad that Col onel Quay is to retire from politics they will be able to make some headway in spots where supporters of Quay may think these reports are true and lose interest in the fight to retain control of the party organization. NEWSPAPER COMBINE. All the Philadelphia newspapers that are -under the Wanamaker influence, and there are few exceptions, have de voted columns of matter during the past week to stories about Colonel Quay not being an aspirant to succeed himself In the Republican national committee. They have represented him as getting old and as being desirous of Breading the balance of his days in reace atd quietness. That these stories all emanate from the same source ia well known, and that they are prompted by a desire to have the col onel desert his followers is also quite true. After printing these long fakes In the local columns some newspapers. unwittingly, followed them up with news dispatches in which the reports that Colonel Quay would retire were positively denied. Colonel Quay raid nothing on the subjett, but some of his close political advisers, like Attorney General Elkin, promptly declared tbat the sentiment in favor of the continu ance of Colonel Quay in the national committee .was so strong that it would be a grave mistake to consider any suggestion for a change at this time. He called attention to the fact that Colonel Quay is on close and intimate terms with the influential national leaders, and tbey are eager to have him continue in the committee. QUAY'S ACTIVE CAREER. Colonel Quay was first elected to the Republican national committee 20 years ago. He was re-elected each time since, excepting when he suggest ed David Martin as his successor. Mar tin was one of his lieutenants and had a record of being one of the most stalwart of party men. It was his proud boast for years that in voting "he never failed to dot an i or cross a t" in voting tbe full Republican ticket His recent consorting with Democratic machine leaders has placed his pre vious attitude in bold contrast with bis insurgent tendencies of to-la"- While Colonel Quay was chairman of the Republican national committee, from 1SS8 to 1S92, he made a host of staunch friends among Republicans throughout the country, and his mas terly management of the Harrison campaign snatched victory from defeat, which many thought was inevitable, in view of the strong hold Tammany had at that time upon the election ma chinery of New York. Colonel Quay's organization of the New York Republi cens and h'.a bold move in capturing hlcKean's stronghold settled the Issue in the Empire state and the election oi the Republican candidate fo;- the pres idency. When Colonel Quay succeed ed David Martin in the national com mittee his old colleagues specially hon ored him .in recognition ot his past services by electing him to the vice chairmanship of the committee. He positively declined to be considered a candidate for the chairmanship. Throughout the national campaign he was in frequent consultation with th managers cf tbe fight, and his advice and suggestions were carefully heeded There is no doubt about the attitude of a large majority of the Pennsylvania delegates to the national convention upon the subject of the national com mitteeman. Colonel Quay, in the event of an opposing candidate being pitted against hitu for that honor, would have over three-fourths of the delegation at Ills iwrr HO MAKESHIFT. Io This Case the Work was Properly Done. Any reader who bas had backache and found relief by rubbing the back with liniments and lotions, understands that the relief obtained was but a makeshift, for the ache return?. Theri's a war tc do it so the ache will not come back. Read how it's done. The Rev. Daniel Ely, of 496 East Washington street, Chambersbnrg, Pa., ays " For a number of years at inter vals I had dull aching in the small of my back, and slight urinary irregulari ties. My physician diagnojed my case, called it bladder trouble, and at the time benefitted me somewhat, but not perma nently. In addition to kidney complaint, I had stomach trouble, the iymlomi being akin to dyspepsia. Doan'i Kidney Pills removed the pain in my back, corrected he kidney secretions, and in a measure helped my stomach trouble. There ia ne fact about Doan's Kidney Pills worth ointing out They act directly on the idceys snd the auxiliary organs. I have very confidence in them or I would not ive recommended them to others who ifft red from inactive or overexcited kid rys. It is a pleasure to me to endorse a reparation which will do what it rep ssents. Doan's K'dney Pills for sale by all Icalers; prii e 50 cents a box.
