(Special Correspondence.)
Harrlsburg, June 27 All IYnnsylva
nla Is Interested In tho return of the
"Fighting Tenth" regiment of the Key
stone state, now enroute hom from
the Philippines. -
This gallant command, composed of
the sons of the best known families
In the western counties of the state,
has made a splendid record In the ter
rible battles in the distant islands of
the Pacific and the old commonwealth
will ring from one end of the other
with glad greetings to the brave boys
who have been fighting so heroically
for the flag In the far eastern coun
try. Governor Stone has been co
operating with the special citizens'
committee which Is to arrange for tha
reception of the regiment on its re
turn to this continent. The troops
will land at San Francisco, and an ef
fort Is now being made to have the
regiment mustered out at Pittsburg,
Instead of on the Pacific coast. Colo
nel Quay and Senator Penrose are do
ing their utmost to have the secretary
of war direct that the regiment be
kept together until they reach Pitts
burg, so that the people of their own
state may be able to give them a fit
ting welcome. Mayor Dlehl. of ritts
burg, is working energetically to have
that city make suitable preparations
for a grand popular demonstration
which will equal, if not surpass, any
thing of the kind gotten up to honor
the returning soldiers at the close of
the civil war. Philadelphia Is also
talking of joining in this expression of
patriotic admiration of the "Fighting
Tenth," and Is ready to give the regi
ment a great reception if It shall be
possible tii get the command to the
Quaker City.
TWO CONSPICUOUS FIGURES.
Two conspicuous figures In the
"Fighting Tenth" are Colonel Alex
ander Le Roy Hawkins and Lieutenant
Colonel James Elder Darnett. Each
Is coming home with glorious laurels
won on the firing line nnd each is
bound to be hailed as a hero by the
people of Pennsylvania, who are prouu
of their patriotic services. President
McKinley has been asked to promote
Colonel Hawkins to the rank of briga
dier general. A recommendation has
been made to the president by Gen
eral MacArthur, who was in command
of the forces of which Colonel Haw
kins' regiment was a part. Colonel
Hawkins is a hero of two wars, hav
ing served with signal ability ami
bravery In the Fifteenth Pennsylvania
cavalry In the war of the rebellion,
and his present regiment has been la
the service of the United States since
May of last year. It took a conspicu
ous part In the battle of Malate and in
the capture of Manila and in later en
gagements with Aguinaldo's men.
Lieutenant Colonel Harnett has a
splendid record for bravery in action.
He has been strongly recommended to
the war department for promotion for
his work In the Philippines. He is per
sonally very popular, and when tho
boys of the "Fighting Tenth" reach
home he is bound to be one of the
heroes of the hour. He has a wide ac
quaintance In the National Guard of
Pennsylvania, with which lie has been
connected since 188-1, serving suc
cessively as private, corporal, sergeant,
first lieutenant, captain and major be
fore he was nominated for tho com
mand of the First battalion of the
"Fighting Tenth." He has always been
an active Republican, is a native of
Indiana county, but now resides in
Washington county, which is also the
home of Colrnel Hawkins. He is a
graduate of the Columbia Law school,
and was admitted to the bar In 1890.
HONORS AWAIT THEM.
Tho home coming of Colonel Haw
kins and Lieutenant Colonel Barnett
naturally directs attention to the fact
that they aro both mentioned for the
Republican nomination for Btate treas
urer. It la not known whether cither
of them would consent to allow the
use of his name in this connection.
Colonel Hawkins has had a trying
time in the Philippines. He has lost
over 75 pounds, and Is not in the best
physical condition. In view of the fact
that he was elected to the last state
senate while out with his regiment,
but has never qualified, he may prefer
to accept that position. He would cer
tainly have a whirlwind campaign
should he be placed upon the Republi
can ticket. Lieutenant Colonel Dar
nett would also make a marvelously
strong candidate, and It Is generally
conceded that the Republican organiza
tion will be fortunate If either Haw
kins or Harnett shall accept a nomina
tion for state treasurer.
Chairman John P. Elkln, of the Re
publican state committee,, has issued
the call for the Republican state con
vention, fixing Thursday, Aug. 24, as
the time, and the Opera House at Har
rlsburg as the place for the gathering
ot tne delegates to name the Republi
can state ticket. The Philippine he
roes ought to be home before that
time. If there shall not be unexpected
deloya in the passage.
If neither Hawkins nor Darnett shaK
care to make the canvass there Is an
other soldier, Brigadier General John
W. Schall. nf Norristown, who has
been proposed for state treasurer, and
he has already gotten the Montgomery
county delegation instructed for him.
He, too, has a good war record, and
has a host of friends in the National
Guard, with which he has been iden
tified prominently for a number ot
years.

favored this year with available men

Mr. Adams, they say, needs no intro

Quaker City, and there Is every reason
to believe that when the primary elec
tion shall take place In that city he
will get a large majority of the dele
gates, if not a solid Philadelphia del
egation to the Republican state con
vention. He Is not only recognized as
a popular member of the bar, but also
as one of the most public spirited cit
izens. He has been a prominent figure
on several citizens' committees, having
charge of patriotic demonstrations re
cently held in Philadelphia. He has a
host of friends among leading Repub
licans who wish to go as delegates to
the convention In his Interest. The
nomination for the superior court
Judge is conceded to Philadolphla, and,
as It Is understood Justice Beeher will
not be a candidate to succeed himself.
Counsellor Adams may have no oppo
sition in the state convention.
The name of J. Hay Brown, of Lan
caster, has lately been most prominent
ly mentioned for the Republican nomi
nation for the supreme court.
Should the nomination for treasurer
go to the west, with Philadelphia get
ting the superior court nomination,
Lancaster would, geographically at
least, have some claim for the third
place on the Republican state ticket,
lawyer Brown refused an appointment
to the presidency of the supreme court
from Governor Hastings, and it is not
positively known that he would even
now consent to become a candidate for
the supreme bench. Meanwhile the
friends of Judge William D. Porter of
Allegheny, Judge Robert W. Archbald
of Ijickawanna, Judge Thomas A. Mor
rison of McKean, Judge Samuel H. Mil
ler of Mercer and Judge William D.
Wallace of Luzerne are all closely
watching the situation, and some of
them are doing more they are active
ly canvassing for delegates in the In
terest of their respective favorites.
With the many elements of doubt
involved In the situation It Is impossi
ble to predict with any degree of cer
tainty the outcome of the state con
vention as regards the supreme court.
Much may happen before the conven
tion date to change the complexion of
things political. Colonel Quay and
his close advisers all declare there has
been no slate agreed upon, and that
up to date "it Is everybody's race."

A STORMY SCENE.
When Oliver Cromwell Peremptorily
Dissolved the I.oiik Parliament.
Sir Peter Wontworth was tho only mnn
who da red to rise amid Cromwell's tempest
of wrath, snys Samuel Harden Church in
Tho Atlantic. Ho said that this wns tho
first tinio ho had ever hoard such unbe-
comlng langungo given to the parliament
and that it was tho more horrid in that it
came from their servant their servant
whom they had so highly trusted nnd
obliged.
But when Wontworth had gono thus
far, Cromwell clapjiod on his hat and in
tcrruptcd him with, '-Coinc, come, wo
havo had enough of this!" Ho walked
furiously up and down tho floor. '-Iwill
put an end to your prating-," ho cried in a
high voice. Ho stamped Ids feet upon tho
floor. Xo mail had ever seen tlio liko of
such ragu in a parliament lM'foro. "It is
not fit that you should sit hereanv longer.
You aro no parliament! I say you aro no
parliament!" To an officer he cried, "Call
them in! Call them In !" And the grim
companions of his battles entered with
eyes alert and guns ready and waited his
further orders.
"1 say you aro no parliament!" They
are on their feet now, their faces blazing
with amazement. Sir Harry Vano gravo
ly spooks: "This Is not honest; yea, it is
against morality nnd common honestv,
Cromwell is all passion. "Sir Harry
Vane! Sir Hurry Vane! Tho Lord deliver
mo from Sir Hurry Vane!" Ho glares on
lorn C halloner and says, "Some of you
aro drunkards!" His cyo lights on Harry
Marten, and ho cries, "Somo of you uro
lewd livers, living in oix'n contempt of
Goti'u commandments!" His flashing eyes
pass from faco to face, nnd ho says
"Some of you nro corrupt, unjust persons;
scandalous to the profession of tho gos
pel!" As tho once groat parliament
stands cowering lieforo him ho thunders
out their final doom, "Depart, I say!"
They licgan to go out. Thero was no
gainsaying tho man. They understood
then jx-rhaps why ho had never leon de
feated In his battles. His cyo fell upon
tho mace, the emblem of nuthority, but it
aroused no respect In his mind. "Take
away that bauble," ho said to ono of his
soldiers. Lcnthnll still sat In tho speak
er's chair. His dignity wns imperturba
ble, nnd when Cromwell ordered hini to
como down ho tarried. Harrison then
took him by tho band nnd helped him
down, and ho vanished.

Philadelphia, June 27. -Pennsylvania's
Democracy is In a very bad way.
For every Republican Insurgent the
Democratic leaders expected to rote
for their candidate for state treasurer
they now find there will be at least ton
Democrats, of the sound money wing
of their party, who will not vote the
Democratic state ticket.
The action of the Democratic state
convention In adopting a Bryan'te
platform and naming a Bryan ticket
to run upon it was bad enough, but
to have the county organizations go on
record in the most blatant fashion In
favor of the Chicago platform is too
much for the sound money Demo
crats of Pennsylvania.
The sound mouey Democrats were
greatly disappointed over the action of
the state convention. They had been
given to understand that the coming
state camprln wns to be run upon
purely state isa;o. This was the prom
ise given the Republican Insurgents
upon when; the Republican leaders
counted to help their candidate for
state treasurer. Tho free silverltea
were too strong for Colonel Guffey at
Harrlsburg. and they Insisted upon des
ignating Wlliinm Jennings Bryan as
"our matchless lender" in the Demo
cratic state platform.
SOUND MONEY MEN CONFER.
Not only did they do this, but they
knocked out Guffey's first choice for
supreme Judge, Hon. Harmful Yerkos,
of Bucks, solely because he was a
sound money Democrat, and nominated
In his stead Judge Mestretat, of Fay
ette, about whose loyalty to the Bryan-
lte ticket of 1S96 there was no ques
tion. The action of John Cadwalader,
Jr., of this city, bolting the state con
vention because of the eulogy of Bryan
In the platform, simply gave expres
sion to the sentiment of a large num
ber of delegates in the state conven
tion, who, by reason of the fact that
they went there to bring about tho
nomination of certain candidates for
the supreme bench, were prevented
from following his example and en
tering an emphatic protest against this
Indorsement of the free silver cham
pion.
There was no disguizing their
chagrin and mortification ever the vic
tory of the sllventes. This feeling
was freely expressed after the con
vention adjourned.
There have been several Informal
conferences since then of leading
sound money Democrats, who have
been considering the best course to
pursue under the circumstances. There
has been a suggestion that the best,
way to express disapproval of the
policy of the present leadership of the
party lu the state would be by the
nomination of an Independent ticket,
which would give the sound money
Democrats an opporttnity to place
themselves on record as opposed to
the Bryan platform and the Bryan
ticket of the recent state convention.
There lias been opposition to this from
some of the conservative gold men,
who fear thut the result at the elec
tion might not fully express the senti
ment of the sound money Democrats.
The nomjnatlon of an Independent
ticket, it is argued, might result in
cany Democrats voting for the nomi
nees of the Republican convention,
just as they did in the last presidential
campaign, and the smallness of the
vote for the sound money Democratic
candidate would then give encourage
ment to the silverito.? and make tem
more bold and aggrcs.-ive by the timi
tho state convention shall be held to
select the delegate to the national
Democratic convention. The gold men
In the minority party are certainly In
a quandary.
Supplementing the action of the
state convention, the Democratic coun
ty organizations ere now falling In
line with a reaffirmation of the silver
craze. The Clarion county Democratic
convention not only went on record
for Bryan, but indorsed the whole Chi
cago platform, and seemed to glory in
the fact. Other counties will no doubt
follow suit, and the grave question that
confronts the sound money Democrat
Is, "What rtn I going to do about It?"
There Is no doubt that they will
generally vote the Republican ticket
as a rebuke to the present party lead
ership and in the hope of halting tha
national Lemocraey in the manifest
purpose to renominate Bryan and re
affirm the Chicago platform.
REPUBLICAN INSURGENTS RE
BUKED. While the Republican Insurgents are
greatly discouraged over the fact that
the free sllverltei havo assumed con
trol of the Democracy, they are also
chagrined because of t'.:e action of the
stalwart Republicans In keeping up
a succession of victories over the parly
wreckers and caucus bolters.
Saturday last was a field day for
tho regular Republicans. Northamp
ton led off with a great county con
vention, in which the sympathizer!
of the insurgents did not have a cor
poral's guard present. General Frank
Reeder, whose ft lends were In absolute
control of the convention, presided,
He made a rattling speech.
A committee on resolutions, with ex-
Assemblyman Charles F. Chldsoy as
chairman, reported the following.
which were nnnnlm'.usly adopted:
"The Republicans of Northampton

elected to the. Republican state con
vention were" James W. Correll of

MONTGOMERY AND CLEARFIELD.
In Montgomery county the result
was no less pronounced, i ne insur
gents were benten at the primaries by
vote of almost seven to one. ine
county convention, whlcn win meet
today, will unquestionably elect as del
egates to the state convention J. P. H.

seph A. Buchanan. Upper Dublin, every
one of whom Is a stalwart. The dele
gation will favor General John W.
Schall for state treasurer.
Clearfield county was also carried by
the regulars This was a very hotly
fought battle.
The Insurgents were led by Colonel
E. A. Irvln. and had the advantage of
the resources of the Wanamaker bu
reau, with the agents of the Van Val
kenburgs over-running the county and
circulating literature In the hope or
Influencing the voters. The stalwarts
were quite as aggressive. They called
upon the voters to sustain the action
of their representative In the house,
Frank G. Harris, who went Into the
Republican senatorial caucus and
voted for Senator Quay to the end of
the balloting. The Issue was clearly
defined, Quay and anti-Quay, nnd the
Quay men won by a handsome major
ity.
WATERLOO FOR KOONTZ.
No less significant was the result In
Somerset county, where the friends of
Senator Quay won a sweeping victory
In the election of delegates to the i
state convention. The people knew ex
actly for whom they were voting, be
cause the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed. Representatives Koontz and
Kendall, who had Joined the insur
gents, bolted the Republican caucus
and stumped the county for a vote of
confidence, were completely repudiated.
Their specially chosen candidates for
delegates to tho state convention, D. J.
Horner and John R. Booz, suffered a
humiliating defeat, whereas the regu
lars triumphed with ex-Sheriff Ed
ward Hoover and Frederick Rowe as
their candidates for delegates. Not
only did the Quay men elect the state
delegates, but they put through their
entire county ticket. General Koontz
was regarded as the strongest man
among the Insurgents, and his de
teat was entirely unexpected by them.

ITS WARMTH IN WINTER AND COOL
NESS IN SUMMER.
Footwear la a Matter Which la Res.
nlatrd by John'a ItellRlon Why tha
Chlnaman'a Laundry 1 Alwaj a Dec
orated In Ited.
A singular thing about a Chinaman is
that, so far as outside appearances go, ho
drosses himself exactly nliko both winter
and summer.
Ho apiHvira neither more bulky nor
thinner as tho seasons go by, and tho
stylo, cut nnd texture of his raiment, un
less searching Investigations aro made,
seem unchanged. However, as tho winter
weather comes on, the snow begins to fall
and tho chill winds to whistle through
the cracks in his laundry, or other plans
of business, ho does mako certain changes
in his wearing apparel which, while they
do not show up on tho outside, havo tho
required effect of keeping him warm and
comfortable.
In the summer tltno tho Chinaman
wears as few clothes as permitted by cus
tom. The wide, flowing silk coat, with
Ixillixm sleeves, equally wide Jeans, and a
glimpse of white stocking In tho shoo aro
all he thinks it nop-ssary to wear. Other
articles nro regarded as superfluous.
During roltt weather the un-American-
I zed Chinaman wears at least six or seven
coats. When he rises early on a cold win
ter's mon, In;, tho first thinif ho reaches
for, as a rule, is a silk or worsted mat,
which ho dons, tight, fitting to the skin.
Then he hastily gets into a worsted blouse,
mado In the slmpo of tho usual outside
garment of tho Chinese, and then has two
or three silk coat to put on, which aro
followed by u closely knit muslin coat, an
other si!U coat, and tho top coat or blouse.
This last is so lnmlo that no suggestion Is
given of the others underneath. It never
bulges, and no flag or edge of tho under
coat shows. His jeans are put on next,
underneath which ho wear a closer fit
ting pair of silk Joans. If particularly
chilly, ho wears extra pairs of tlio silk
Jeans. The outside Jeans aro made out of
heavy muslin, as is also at times tho win
ter topcoat.
Concerning his stockings and his feet,
tho Chinaman who still adheres to his na
tlvo customs in wearing clothes has trou
ble. According to the statement of Wong
Wing, nu Intelligent Chlnanuin, no China
man who still professes the religion of his
forefathers Is xrmlttcd to wear slux-s or
boots closed over tho Instep or reaching
above tho nnklo unless ho Is a priest.
Consequently in winter the only protec
tion for his fret that tho Chinaman has is
heavy stockings and having very thick
cork and worsted sides put on his shoes.
The stockings of tho Chinaman are not
bought in this country, but como from
China by wry of San Francisco, and aro
not a common garment. Ono difforonco
between thci and tha American stocking
is that they i.ro neither so short as that of
the ordinary citizen nor ns long nu that of
tho schoollKiy. Tho top reaches just below
the knee, and the stockings aro mado of a
peculiar kind of worsted, very finely knit
ted nnd very warm. This completes tho
winter garb of tho Chinaman, which, ho
affirms, keeps him ns warm as ho wants
to be.
Many of the topcoat worn by them nro
wadded all over on tho Inside with cotton,
in almost tho same way as a foot ball play
er pads Ids trousers. A Chinaman will
frequently start tho day with all his coats
on and feeling cold. As tho day gets
warmer nnd the tomisTaturo of the laun
dry rises ho will login to shed coats until
ho has on only two or throe. As a rule ho
is very lnipr.idcnt. in regard to hi health
and rarely gets through a winter without
contracting a bad cold through careless
ness In going out without all his coats on
or taking too many off to get cool. Thero
is art In regulating- tho numlsT to tako
off or put on at certain temperatures.
Very (ow Chinamen wear anything like
a collar about their necks, as the various
coats fit so closely to tho neck that tho
wind cannot get down their backs. Gloves
oro another article that aro not worn cx
cept In raro cases, as tho voluminous
sleeves form tho lcst kind of mull for tho
Hands and keep them much warmer than
mittens or gloves. There are some China
men who wear in tho winter tlmo regular
suits of flannel underwear Instead of tho
silk or worsted shirt, which hangs consul
crubly below tho vulst. Tho Chinaman
docs not wear suspenders, but keeps his
Joans up by means of a Chinese belt mado
out of silk, heavily braided.
A Chinam.tn has one stylo hat a black,
soft felt hat which meets all his require
ments. Wong Wing say thnt It Is consid
ered "too sassy for a Chinaman to wear
a white or brown hat, and says ho knows
only two lr. Baltimore who over wear a
hat that is not black.
Tho colors of the coats nnd various gar
ments of tho Chinaman aro more usually
purple than anything else, because it is
his natural favorite Outside of his own
person, however, ho infinitely prefers' red
to ony other color. Ho dnqs'S his wash
stands, his Iron boards and his entire room
With red clot h. All his tapestries aro red
and the sign with which ho announces his
name nnd business is red. Hod is tho re
ligious color of tho Chinese, and the pros
cn!0 of red In a laundry always denotes
that tho proprietor has not yet been Chris
tianlzed, while tho lack of his color Is said
to bo clear proof that hu has accepted tho
religion of this country and cast aside bis
own.
Whito is worn ns a sign of mourning.
Tho Chinaman in this country has ot ro
cont years taken to wearing his cuo curl
cd alsjut his head instead of hanging as
Inifore, which is a mark of resiKX-tto Amer
