QUAY'S SUPPORTERS SWEEP PRIMARIES A Complete Triumph at the Phila delphia Republican Elections. ARE IN ABSOLUTE CONTROL raptor City Committee (tad Coaa- ctln and am Practically Solid Delciratlona to the Repabllcaa State and National TonTeatloaa. (Special Correspondence.) -Philadelphia. Jan. 9. The friends of senator Quay scored a signal victory at rne Republican primaries held her to day. They practically swept the town, and are now In absolute control of the party organization and of city councils, and they will probably have every one of the delegates to the Republican na tional convention from this city and all the delegates to the Republican state convention except those from two, and possibly only one, of the 27 legislative districts. The Martlu-Wanatnaker Insurgent combination cuts a sorry figure as the returns are read from the various wards and districts. This outfit has been repudiated by the Republican voters who went to the polls and cast their ballots In favor of the men who believe In standing by the Republican organization and abiding by the will of the majority, and who are opposed to alliances of any kind with the Democ racy, either in the state legislature or at the polls on election day. This has been a great day for the stralghtout Republicans. It has been a Waterloo for the insur gents. While a victory for the stalwarts was anticipated, it was hardly believed that their triumph would be over whelming. The returns were received at the Republican rity campaign committee rooms, their new headquarters, corner of Eleventh and Chestnut streets, and as ward after ward sent in reports showing the sentiment of the people against the guerrilla political warfare that has been carried on by Martin and Wanamaker in this city and Flinn and their other allies in different sections of the state the joy of the stalwarts waa beyond restraining. The insurgents got a severe setback a few days before the primaries in the announcement that former chairman of the Republican city committee, ex State Senator Charles A. Porter, had come out squarely In favor of Colonel Quay, and had declared his purpose to co-operate with the friends of tM regular Republican organization in both the city and the state. When It Is recalleu that Senator Porter was a full political partner of David Martin In what was known ns the Martin-Porter combine, and shared with Martin an equal responsibility In the man agement of the organization whlc.Ji brought about the election of Warwick as mayor when Penrose was over thrown at the last hour, the signifi cance of this desertion from the insur gent cause can be better appreciated. This has left Martin with little more than the Wanamaker bargain counter advertising controlled newspapers, the Wanamaker contributions to the in surgent campaign fund, and the pa tronage in the tax office, over which Martin's brother-in-law, Mr. Roney, still officiates, as he Is serving out his last term. Against this remnant of a once pow erful combine were arrayed at the pri maries all the personal friends and po litical supporters of Senator Quay, led by former Senator Israel W. Durham, the veteran David H. Lane, who has the backing of the friends of Miyor Ashbridge. and many ward leaders who formerly followed Martin, but who, recognizing the change of public senti ment and the revolution which has been wrought recently in local and state politics, are now lined up with the regular Republican organization ia both state and dty. From the standpoint of practical pol itics, the capture of the Republican city campaign committee by the friends of Colonel Quay Is the most sig nificant outcome of today's primaries. This has been Martin's stronghold for several years. Through control of this committee he has managed to overturn and reorspnize wards and districts which, upon a poular vote, would be overwhelmingly against his lieutenants residing therein. Of course, this made no difference, for no matter what the returns of the primaries were, the Mar tin men would be seated In the city eommlttee, and their delegates to eltv and state conventions would be recog nized and the others would be put upon the "sliding board," as the Mar tin heeleis designated the bouncing apparatus of the combine machine. But things will be different hence forth. Heretofore a Martin man, as treasurer of the Republican city com mittee, received all the campaign con tributions of the thousands of office holders employed in the various city departments, und these monies were distributed through Martin men In the various election precincts of the city. This gave an immense leverage to the Martin machine at the primary elec tions, as well ns at the general elec tions. QUAY MAN TOR TREASURER. The- iraasurer of the new eity com mittee is to be Colonel Thoma J. Powers, who was appointed by Gov ernor Stone to be banking commission er of Pennsylvania. Colonel Powers bas co-operaced politically with the friends of Colonel Quay for the last 15 years. He was appointed naval of ficer of this port through Colot Quay's influence during the Harrteim administration. Friends of Colonel Quay wEIt be elected to the Republican city commit tee from all but about half a tftrarn of the 41 wards In this city. - Next to the capture of the Republi can city committee the luost important result of the primaries, from a local point of view. Is the election of mem bers of both branches of councils, who will co-operate with the Ashbridge ad ministration for the balance of the term of the present mayor. Hereto fore councils were dominated by the Martin-Porter combing. ut now Mar- Ilavlng a tirrat Haa aa Chamberlain's t'ouah It nnrdy.

Republicans in the Interior of the state will, however, be most interest ed in the complexion of the Philadel phia delegation to the Republican na tional and state conventions. THE NATIONAL DELEGATES. Philadelphia, with five congressional districts, will have ten district dele gates in the Republican national con vention, and not one of these will be inimical to Colonel Quay's leadership. All but one are pronounced supporters of the Beaver statesman, and that one, who hails from David Martin's ward, is a leading manufacturer, who has not been Identified with either faction, and it is quite probable that he will be found co-operating with the friends of the regular organization in the elec tion of the member of the Republican national committee and In other mat ters which the delegation to the na tional convention will have to consider and dispose of when they meet here in June next. All the conventions will meet to morrow, and there will be no opposi tion to the election of the following as delegates to the Republican national convention. First congressional district, Israel W. Durham and General Henry H. Bing ham; Second district. United States Senator Botes Penrose and David H. Lane; Third district, Joseph H. Klera mer, who holds the position of har bor master under the Stone adminis tration, and Select Councilman James B. Anderson, who has for years been an Intimate friend of Colonel Quay; Fourth district, A. S. L. Shields, who is Colonel Quay's counsel, and Charles F. Kindred, whose two members of the legislature voted for Quay until the end of the senatorial contest; Fifth district, Isaac Schllcter, who was named at the instance of Colonel Pow ers, and John H. Bromley, the big manufacturer, from Martin's ward. It will thus be seen that the Beaver statesman has no ocaalon to complain of the outcome of the election of dis trict national delegates. Philadelphia expects to have the naming of two of the eight delegates-at-large to the na tional convention, and the leaders of the local organization have agreed upon James Elverson, publisher of the Philadelphia Inquirer, and former Sen ator Charles A. Porter for delegates-at-large. As the supporters of the state organization will tomorrow elect the delegates from all but two, and possibly one, of the 27 legislative dis tricts, to the Republican state conven tion, the change in local political condi tions will thus be quite pronounced. A. Long Sentence. The tribunal of Modica, in the Sicilian province of Syracuse, recently pro nounced a sentence which is declared to have no parallel in the judicial annals of Italy, as it has probably none in those of any other country. A man named Lupo Salvatore of Co mis had passed himself off as an advo cate and had with consummate skill com mitted 03 different acts of serious fraud, In which he succeeded iu using the ma chinery of the law. He had forged the signatures of the president and judges of the high court, of the king's procurator and of the chancellor of the court. From this last mentioned otlicial he had even, with splendid audacity, stolen for a short time the seal of the chaucery, which he needed to give effect to his fraudulent documents. The sentence is even more remarkable than the crime. Salvatoro was condemn ed to three years' imprisonment on each of the 03 cases, which brings the total of the sentence to 180 years, though the longest Incarceration which the convict can be legally made to uudergo is 30 years. The penalty inflicted is in each case the minimum for the offense. Had the court decided upon the maximum, which is ten years, the aggregate term of imprisonment would have been 030 years. Not to Be Deceived Twice. This man resolved to take no chances. He is an eastern drummer and was visit ing friends in Colorado. The western country is noted for the clearness of the atmosphere, which lends an appearance of proximity to remote objects, and the easterner, admiring a magnificent moun tain which apparently towered up only a few miles away, said he was going to walk over to its base before dinner. The mountain was in reality 70 miles distant, but his friends allowed the tenderfoot to get an hour's start, then set out in a car riage to overtake him. They come upon him ten miles out. He was disrobing on the banks of an irrigat ing ditch. "Hello, there, George, what are you np to?' called one of his friends. "I'm going to swim this river," nn swered the man of samples. "That's no river. It's only ft ditch four feet wide. Why don't yon jump over?" "Well mnybe it is," answered George doubtfully, "but I thought that mountain over there was only about two miles off, and I wasn't going to take any chances with this Btrcam.

That I the Only Honorable Way to Taaa Vpoa the Question aa to the Legality of the CJovernor'a Action. (Spoctal Correspondence.) Harrisburg, Jan. 9. Attorney Gen eral John P. Elkin, who made the masterly argument in support of the appointment of Colonel Quay by Gov ernor Stone to the United Stales sen ate, is naturally deeply interested in the outcome of the case of the Beaver statesman, which will be voted upon shortly, in the senate. General Elkln read with much satisfaction the speech delivered by the venerable and highly respected representative of Massachu setts In the United States senate. Sen ator George F. Hoar, a few days ago, in which he severely arraigned tne politicians of the insurgent Republi can movement In Pennsylvania for the methods they have resorted to In their efforts to prevent the seating of Col onel Quay. This was undoubtedly one of the most pointed and timely rebukes that could have been administered to the members of the Fllnn-Martin-Wan-amaker combine, that have been follow ing with venomous spirit the nominee of the Republican caucus of the legisla ture of Pennsylvania ever since ne was declared to be the unanimous choice of that caucus at Harrisburg for United States senator from Pennsylvania last winter. SENATOR HOAR SPEAKS. In this speech, delivered on the floor of the senate. Senator Hoar, among other tning8, said: Mr. President. I ask leave of the senate to make a brief statement, not exactly a personal explanation, but in the nature of one. It will take but two or three minutes, and I think It will be a matter which will probably re lieve all senators." Senator Hoar was given unanimous consent to proceed. He said: "I receive In my mail daily a good many letters, and I dare say the same Is true of all the members of the sen ate, appealing to me with great earn estness to vote to deny a seat In the senate to a gentleman from Pennsylva nia who claims a seat by reason of an appointment made in the recess of the legislature by the governor of that state. Some of the writers are Qua kersmembers of the Society of Friends. Others are evidently philan thropic persons, and I am to assume are good judges of character, because their letters are full of personal compli ments to myself." INSURGENTS THROW MUD. At this exhibition of dry humor on the part of the venerable Massachu setts senator there was a general laugh, in which even the presiding of ficer. Senator Frye, joined. Continu ing Senator Hoar said: 'The proposition, however, Is that I must vote and they are surprised at my having any doubt about It to deny a seat in this body to the gentleman who claims It under an appointment on the grounds of certain charges that they make against him in regard to his personal character and fitness for the office. 'A good many years ago 1 investigated the question of the right of a governor to appoint, and during the past lo years I suppose I have made eight or ten elaborate speeches in favor of the proposition that whenever in a vaca tion of the legislature there was a va cant seat the governor had the right to flu it, and I have made three or four committee reports in favor of that propositkn. Now, what these gentle men ask me to do is. In substance, this: "The senate is the court or Judge of the elections of senators. I am one of the sworn judges, and these worthy gentlemtn are asking me to stuff the ballot box and make a false return In my capacity as a sworn judge of elec tions, because they think the governor of the state ought to have appointed somebody f.lse. "That Is the attitude which these worthy gentlemen are taking, and I see that some newspapers of wide cir culation in my own state and a good many in the state affected take the same view of the case. Of course, the same principle would require senators, if the legislature should elect this gen tleman or some other against whom such charges can be maintained, to deny him a seat when the legislature has elected him. "If the governor has no right to ap point or the legislature no right to elect, then, of course, we do not admit the claimant. But if the governor has the right to appoint or the legislature the right lo elect and we declare that the governor has not appointed him or the legislature has not elected him. when they have, we are doing exactly what is done by ballot box stuffers and election judges who propose to make false returns. "I hope thid little statement of mine. In which I am sure every member of this body without exception will con cur, will answer as a reply to the great batch of letters which I am getting." Senator Hoar's remarks were receiv ed with evident approval by his col leagues. The idea of persons who have never even seen Senator Quay and know nothing about him, writing to senators who have served with him for years and have frequently com mented upon his great ability, and tell ing his old colleagues that he is unfit for senatorial duties seemed to strike the senate as the height of absurdity, THAT COMMITTEE REPORT . As was expected, a majority of the committee on privileges and elections voted against the seating of Colonel Quay, the vote being three to four against a resolution in his favor. The three who voted to recognize the ap pointment of the governor were Sen ators Chandler, chairman of the com mittee. Hoar and McComas, all Re publicans, and those in the negative were Senator Harris, Pettus, Coffey and Barrows, all Democrats, except Barrows, althnueh Harris U looked "One Minute Cough Care is ihe best remedy I ever used for cougns and colds. jtis unequalled for whooping cough Children all like It." writes H.

Much ado has ben made by Colonel Quay's opponents over thia vote, but as it Is exactly as was counted by Colonel Quay's friends, the action of the committee did not affect the situa tion in the slightest degree. At a dinner given by Colonel Quay on Saturday last, at which a number of senators were present, among them Senator Hanna, there was entire con fidence expressed in the outcome be ing entirely satisfactory to Colonel Quay. GUFFET'AND WANAMAKER. In the preparations for the coming state convention Republicans who have the Interest of their party at heart are looking with expressions of disgust upon certain of the Insurgent leaders who make no concealment of their affiliations with the Guffey Democrats, and who are already admitting their defeat In the Republican organization. They are scheming to make fusion nominations with the Democrats and the Prohibitionists to elect members of the legislature who will be In sym pathy with the Wanamaker-Guffey al liance, the object of which la the elec tion of either John Wanamaker or Colonel James M. Guffey to the United States senate from Pennsylvania. Guffey believes in spending his time and his cash disrupting the Republi can organization, so that the election of a Democrat as United States senator will be made possible. Wanamaker, looking a long way ahead, can figure out that even If a Democrat should be elected to succeed Quay In the United States senate, the present organization of the Republican party would be sev ered to such an extent that he would have a chance to win a seat in the senate when Senator Penrose's term expires. That place would naturally go to an eastern man, and with the long headed business Instincts of a Wanamaker it is easy to imagine how an ambitious citizen of the Wana maker type would consider It a -good Investment to help the Guffey Demo crats now, so that the path might he made smooth for himself later on. Business is business, whether it be In running a bargain counter or seeking to control a political organization for personal advancement. An effort has been made to create the Impression that the resignation of Res ident Clerk Fetterolf. of the house of representatives, Is of great political significance. Fetterolf left his Job on "the hill" to act as an assistant to David Martin who is chairman of the executive committee of the Republican insurgents' state organization. Fetter olf thinks he Is going to fill the role of organizer, which Charles E. Voorhees had when he was Identified with that tomblnatlon. But Mr. Fetterolf Is en titled to guess again. He is no more fitted to fill Voorhees' shoes politically than he is to take McKinley's place In the White House. When Fetterolf was one of the secretaries of the state committee he was little more than a clerk, and his personality was not recognized in the organization. Fet terolf's brother was a member of the house of representatives in the recent session of the legislature, and It was assumed upon the former's election to the resident clerkship that the brother would co-operate with the leaders of the regular Republican organization. This he did not do, but affiliated with the insurgents from the outset. The result was that Clerk Fetterolf con tinued to be nothing but a clerk, and he was not taken Into the confidence of the stalwart leaders. He has now grav itated to where he properly belongs with the Insurgents and It Is not ex pected that he Is going to startle the commonwealth with his leadership. He has been either for and against Quay so many times that his Influence has gone. HIS $1,000 WOULD BUY NOTHING. So the Hobo Ranted Tp the True Owner and Won Fame. "I've slept under a shed with the ther mometer 'way below sero, said tlio tramp, "and I've gone two long days with nothing to eat, but I'm telling you straight that when I once had $1,000 iu my pocket I was worse off than at any other time I can remember. I had just been let out of the Bridewell, in Chicago, and was begging on the streets and being turned ilowu on every hand, when I picked np a $1,000 bill on the sidewalk. I thought it was a dollar, and you bet I made a hustle to get down a side street. When I dodged into a doorway, and made out that I was $1,000 ahead of the game, the sweat started from every pore and my knees knocked together. I was regularly seasick for ten minutes, ond my heart thumped away until I thought it would break out. "That $1,000 meant a heap for me, you understand, but I was so excited that it was two hours before I could do any planning. The first thing was to buy a new suit of clothes, aud 1 entered n store and picked them out. When I exhibited that $1,000 bill, the clothier ran to the door to call a policeman. I got away by a close squeeze, and then I realized the situation. Tramp that 1 was, I couldn't get it changed at a bank nor use it to make me more comfortable. If it had been a ten, I could have had lodgings and a bed, but I'm telling you that I walked the streets as hungry as a shark and slept at police stations and in lumber yards. "Under the circumstances the bill might as well have been a piece of brown paper. I tried all sorts of dodges to get It busted, but it was no go. Every time I showed it I ran the risk of arrest. I offered a butcher $100 to get it changed, but he refused to have anything to do with it. I'd have sold it for half price and been clad to, but there was no such thing as making a deal. Finally, in de spair, I went to one of the newspaper of fices and looked np the advertisements for the week past. The loser had adver tised, and I went to his office in a big building and gave up the bill. The re ward was $50, but he counted out $10 on top of that and said: " 'I wouldn't have believed there was such honesty In the world. You could have kept the bill as well as not.' "lie took down my name and all thnt and gave the affair away to the reporters, They wrote me up as the 'Honest Tramp and had my picture in the papers, but you may guess I didn't enjoy it over much. I had $00 in place of $1,000, and as for my honesty, it was all bosh. I re turned the bill because I hud to, and though I'm hungry and dead broke and don't know where to turn in for the night I'm not looking for any more big finds.

Secret ot the Cowboy's Coolaeaa la the Face ot Apparent Peril. "One of the slickest things I ever saw in my life," said a veteran army otlioer the other day, "was a cowboy stopping a cattle stampede. A herd of about tU.HJ or 800 had got frightened at something and broke away ih-11 null with their tails lu the air and the bulls at the head of the procession. But Mr. Cowboy didn't get excited at all when he saw the herd was going straight for a high bluff, where they would certainly tumble down into the canyon aud be killed. You know that when a herd like that gets to going it can't stop, uo matter whether the cat tle rush to death or not. Those in the rear crowd those ahead, and away they go. I wouldn't have given a dollar a head for that herd, but the cowboy spur red up his mustang, made a little detour, camo in right iu front of the herd, cut across their path at a right angle and then galloped leisurely on the edge of that bluff, halted and looked around at that wild mass of beef coming right toward him. He was as cool as a cu cumber, though I expected to see him killed and was so excited I could not speak. "Well, sir, when tho leaders hud got within about a quarter of a mile of him I saw them try to Black up, though they could not do It very quickly. But tho whole herd seemed to wout to stop, and when the cows and steers in the rear got about where tho cowboy had cut across their path I was surprised to see them stop and conunenco to nibble at the grass. Then the whole herd stopped, wheeled, straggled back and went to fighting for a chauco to eat where the rear guard was. "You see, that cowboy had opened a big bag of salt ho hod brought out from tho ranch to give the cattle, galloped across the herd's course and emptied tho bag. Every critter sniffed that lino of salt, and, of course, that broko up tho stampede. But I tell you It was a queer sight to seo that man out there on the edge of that bluff quietly rolling a cigar ette, when it seemed as if he'd be lying under 200 tons of beef Iu about a miuuto and a half."

"The newspapers are very fond of harping on the vanity of actors," said a popular comedian, who happened to be iu the city tho other day, "but it is nothing, 1 houestly believe, to the supreme self satisfaction ot the average writer. A lit erary man can always understand litera ry vanity aud sympathize with it, but ho is apt to regard any other brand us preposterous aud absurd. Why, I was talking to a dramatic critic tho other day, and he showed me a letter from a pretty well known member of iny own profession. 'Here's a fellow with a frightful case of big head,' he exclaimed ironicully, 'and yet, by Jove! he can't write three lines ot decent English to save his soul'' "Now, I claim that that is a fair ex ample of the journalistic point of view. The average professional writer is prone to gauge folk in other lines by their liter ary facility and is really amused that a chap can find anything to be vaiu about as long as he can't sling ink.

It is ten times worse than the poor play er, who struts arouud like a peacock, but never dreams of sneering at his critic because tho critic can't act.

That evening I met the pork packer at tho Calumet club, and it seem ed that he, too, was displeased over tho encounter, 'lie's a very impudent whip- pcrsnapper, he remarked in describing the reporter.
