ARE IN ABSOLUTE CONTROL

(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

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

QUAY CASE ON ITS MERITS.
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

were Senator Harris, Pettus, Coffey

the committee did not affect the situa

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.

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.

8TOPPING A STAMPEDE.
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." Chicago Record.
