REGULARS WIN
BIO VICTORIES.
Quay Men Triumph at the Pri
maries in Blair, Butler,
Crawford and Erie.
THE BOLTERS TURNED DOWN.
A Gain of Seven Stalwart Member
of the t,ejtllnnre In One Daj'n
nallotlnu In Penn lvunln Where
the I null e Win IMnlnly Pnt to the
leoile nml They Itebuked the In
aariienta. (Special Correspondence.)
Ilarrisburg, March 27. Another ne-
rlea of stalwart Republican triumphs
was recorded with the result of tho
primary elections" held last Saturday.
The outcome Is a net gain of seven
members of the legislature for the reg
ulars, the defeat of three men who
bolted the Republican caucus on the
United States senatorshlp and com
plete routs of Insurgents wherever they
put up candidates for either state sen
ator or state representatives.
Friends of Colonel M. S. Quay
throughout the state have great oc
casion to rejoice over the result. The
Republican yoters of four counties
Erie. Crawford, Blair and Butler hart
an opportunity to- go to the polls and
express their sentiments on the United
States senntorshlp. The issue was
plainly and clearly before the people,
and by a popular vote the supporters
of Colonel Quay have been sustained
and Indorsed, and the principle of ma
loflty rule has been once more upheld
and emphasized by thousanas or nai
lots of stalwart, party loving and fair
minded Renubllcans. The friends of
Colonel Quay did not bring his per
sonality to the front until that was
made the direct lsBue by the anti-Quay
men.- Then the regulars declared their
willingness to meet them on that ques
Hon and let the people determine the
result. As in the days when Senator
Quay submitted the matter of his re
election to the United States senate
to a direct vote of the Republicans nt
the primaries, the result is the same.
The people have dtice more spoken, and
the party wreckers and the caucus
bolters have been repudiated and rout
ed at every point. In every Instance
where a man who bolted the Republi
can caucus and co-operated with the
Democrats at the last session of the
legislature came up for renomlnation
he has been lgnominlously defeated.
ERIE COUNTY'S VOTE.
The Republican primaries In Erie
county proved an overwhelming stal
wart victory, the Insurgent candidate
being hopelessly defeated In every In
ltnncrt. ft. D. Austin, an avowed "anti-
3uay" candidate for senate, received
493 votes In Erie city and county
Complete returns show the nomination
of A. E. Slsson for state senate over
T. A. Gibson, present member, by 1,000
majority. For assembly, county dls
trlct. the two Insurgent candidates
were scarcely In the running. J. R.
Mulkle. of Union City, member of the
present legislature, Is renominated, but
a second ballot In the convention will
be required to decide between F. L.
Hoskins, of Edinboro, and J. R. Ray
niond, of Northeast. Mulkle Is a stal
wart, as are also Hoskins and Ray
mond. Mulkle voted for Quay for sen
ator. C. A. Mertens, of the Erie bar, the
Republican nominee for assembly in
the city district, stands an excellent
chance of defeating J. B. Brooks, pres
ent member from Erie city, a Demo
crat, who will lose the support of I
large section of his own party.
Brooks' Republican opponent, Mer
tens, is a young man of exceptional
talents, high character and possessing
many elements of political strength
He has for years been an officer of the
L. A. V., and is deeply Interested in
good roads legislation.
BOLTERS TURNED DOWN.
Possibly the greatest victory for the
regular clement was scored In Blair
county. At the recent session of the
legislature this county was represented
In the house of representatives by H,
F. Stall, who claimed to be a Repub
llcan. and a Democrat. They were
elected on a fusion ticket. Stall refus
ed to participate In the Republican
caucus on the United States senator
ship and worked with the Guffey Dera
ocrats throughout the session, under
the leadership of FHnn and Martin. He
now knows what the Republicans of
his home county think of his action
All the power of the insurgent organ!
zatlon was thrown to Stall's assistance
to secure his nomination at Saturday'
Republican primaries. He was snowed
under by a large majority, on
popular vote. Two stalwart Republl
cans were nominated for the house of
representatives In this county. They
will be elected and will go Into the
Republican caucus on the UnltedStates
senatorshlp and stand by the nominee
of that caucus.
Edward P. Gamble and George M.
Patterson were nominated for the as
sembly. Gamble had 3,000 votes and
Patterson 2,000 more than Stall.
The present senator from the Blalr
Cambria district, Senator Stineman,
who was one of the Quay leaders In the
recent senatorial deadlock, had his ac
tion on this issue Indorsed by the Re
publican voters of Blair county on
Saturday by a majority of 3,600 over
his pronounced anti-Quay opponent,
Dr. Crawford, of Tyrone. Senator
Stineman last week carried Cambria
county as a Quay man, and not a vote
was cast against him.
BUTLER IN LINE.
One of the most vindictive partisans
among the anti-Quay members of the
last legislature was Representative
James N. Moore. He participated In
all the rump meetings organized by
Fllnn. and was a ringleader in almost
every insurgent movement on the floor.
With him was associated Representa
tive Dindinger. They were both elect
ed as Republicans, but they bolted the
party caucus and helped to prevent the
election of Colonel Quay, the Republi
can caucus choice for the senatorshio.
The regular Republicans have ncen
nominated by the Republicans of Blair
county In place of Moore and Dlndln-
ger. In this county Andrew G. Will
iams, senatorial candidate ou the stal
wart side, won over Levi M. Wise, In
surgent, by a large majority. For as
sembly James B. Mates and Nelson H.
Thompson, both regular party men, de
feated Francis Murphy and Joseph
Cri8well, antl- Quay, by majorities
which surprised their stauncnest
friends. Neither Moore nor Dlndln
ger cared to face the people. Joseph
B. Shownlter, stalwart, for congress,
and Dr. R. H. Pillow, for delegate to
the national convention, had no opposi
tion. The Quay candidates to the state
convention, John E. Womer and Dr. W.
C. McCandless, were far in the lead.
The fight here was Intense, both fac
tions having exerted every effort to
win out, but the Quay sentiment was
too strong throughout the county to
permit of defeat, and down in their
hearts the Insurgents had little hope
of victory all along. They put up a
strong fight, however, which only ados
the more credit to the stalwart forces.
CRAWFORD'S CLEAN SWEEP.
In Crawford county three stalwart
Republicans have been nominated for
the legislature as the result of last
Saturday's prlmarlea and they will be
elected.
The story has been put afloat that
the anti-Quay men will vote for the
Democratic candidates for assembly,
but it Is not credited and is earnestly
denied by some of the men who have
been most active in opposing Colonel
Quay. It really looks as though there
was a determination on the part of tha
Republicans in the northwest, and
particularly In Crawford, to bury fac
tionalism and turn attention to win
ning Republican victories. Arthur L.
Bates, the congressional nominee Dy
unanimous vote in Crawford, has never
been identified with either faction, but
has always stood and worked for the
ticket and advocated party harmony.
His nomination will help materially to
unite and hold the party together,
Republicans are very jubilant and are
confident of victory next fall.

Imiinarv examination of

v -J
F. Wharton Golden at one p:int in his
testimony, said:
"John Powers told me they hart twe
neeroos hero to kill Goobel. They were
Hockcr Smith and Dick Coombs."
G.ildnu. who claims to hnve leon
friend of Secretary Powors and n
brother. John Powers, for years, gavo
testimony that was particularly rtamag-
inc to John Powers, but ho also urougin
in the names of many others, including
Charles Fiulev, W. H. Colton and Gov
ernor Tavlor in his story of tho bringing
of tho mountaineers to Frankfort previ
ous to tho assassination. Governor Tay
lor. however, was not implicated.
Golden had a slight hemorrnjro, aim
Inter becamo so weak under the strain oi
Mir pxnmiiintinu that he begged to be
allowed a respite. He was quite uerv
ous at times. Gulden's testimony tended
to show that a plan was made to bring
several hundred "regular mountain
feudists" to Frankfort, who would, ii
necessary, as Golden expressed it, "go
into the legislative hull and kill ofl
enonuh Democrats to make it our way.'
The testimony did not show that the
aliened plot to kill Goebel was part ol
tho originnl plan, nor did it eontui'i the
names of those who conceived thnt idea,
But the commonwealth sought to show
bv Golden 's conversations with vario is
people thnt not only John and wiieu
PowerR, but others as well, had full
knowledge of tho alleged plan of assns-
sinutiou.
Golden, whose illness on the stand
Saturday forced an adjournment of the
court twice, was reported by his phy
sician as very much improved last night.
He will probably go on tho stand again
today, and his wife also, it is said, may
corroborate his testimony.

FIRST WEEK OF NEW LAW

nrle-I''rl'k Settlement llclua Iron.
Duu'a Review.
New York, March 24. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade issued to
day, said in part:
In its first week of operation, tho new
monetary bill has given satisfaction at
the treasury and to banks. Applica
tions for now 2 per cents have exceeded
0106,000,000, and the net increase in
bank circulation is already over $10,000,
000. As the rate at which new circula
tion can be issued is limited, except for
banks which gave orders in advance of
the bill, and the issues at first are largely
for the increase of uotos to the par value
of bonds deposited, little can yet be in
ferred regarding the other increase,
though applications indicate that it will
be hirge for interior banks. The release
of millions employed in preparation for
action under tho new measure has
caused in bank returns considerable
changes, wliich are nominal, rather
than real, and the money markets aro
undisturbed.
The reporced sorciement of tie Car-uegio-Frick
controversy is of the great
est importance to the iron and steel in
dustry. A fight between such forces
would in the end have affected prices
and values beyond calculation, while
the combination of interests now said
to bo agreed upon may prove revolu
tionary in its influence. Whether mar
kets will bo immediately affected is not
clear. As yet the tendency toward re
action of pi ices continues, though in
tho Pittsburg region Bessemer and
basic pig are strong, But eastern Bos
senior and Grey forge and southern pig
are sold there at prices below those gov
erning in larger transactions, and it is
only tho demand for steel-nmking iron
which appears to exceed the supply.
Eastern markets are weaker, with ro
duction of $ 1 per ton at Philadelphia in
sonio grades. Finished products are
generally unchanged, though sheets rise
at Chicago with the coming conibuuv
tiou, while plates sink lower at Pitts
burg and to tho lowest point since April
6, 181)9, at Philadelphia.
The London wool sales have shown
shade more strength than those of last
month, and considerable American pur
chases of some grades indicate true posi
tion of tho prices asked here. Yet the
markets here are called stronger in tone,
although of tho sales reported much the
greater part were at ' concessions, and
manufacturers are doing very littlo.
Sales at the three chief markets were
only 4,800,000 pounds, of which 3,771,
500 were domestic. Tho state of the
goods market does not encourage mnnu
facturers to pay tho prices now asked
There is not only littlo grouud to expect
an advance in prices, but in other than
tho leading grades some concessions aro
frequently mode to secure transactions,
and tho business is still disappointingly
restricted.
The advance in wheat which followed
statements of the quantity in fanners'
hands has not been maintained, and the
decliuo tho past week has been 1 cents,
com yielding also about cent.
Failures for the week were 183 in the
United States, against 200 last year, and
27 in Canada, against 240 last year.
