Cigar Box Containing Gun Cotton Sent
to Police Captain.
New York, A'ig. 22. Gun cotton
enough to kill a man, arnnged In an In
fernal machine and disguised as a gift
cigar box, was received by Precinct
Police Captain Miles O'Reilly. This Is
the third deadly explosive Instrument
of similar construction sent through
New York mails in the last four days,
the other two being received last Fri
day by Jacob H. Schlff, the banker,
and M. Guggenheim's Sons.
Captain O'Reilly received a cigar
box by mall which In weight and every
other detail misled him Into taking it
for a genuine present. Unusually
heavy and tenacious nails fastening
down the cover caused the first sus
picions. When the box had been care
fully opened at the ends, the cover
was found to have matches glued to
Its inner surface in such a manner that
they would be Ignited on emory paper
in an effort necessary to raise the lid.
The police quickly secured proofs
that the flare of merely one out of the
half dozen matches would have been
the death of Captain O'Reilly.
A detective carried a tiny portion
of the gun cotton and powder, which
nearly filled the box, into the cellar,
and there touched a match to it. The
resulting explosion was heard on the
upper floors of the police station.

Republicans of Pennsylvania Will
Stand By Their Candidates and Elect
Their Ticket By Large Majorities.
Special Correspondence.
Harrlsburg. Aug. 22.
Colonel James M. Ouffey. the Demo
cratic boss of Pennsylvania, has played
his first card in his game to win over
Republican votes to his Democratic
machine and to get the Democracy In
line for next year's contest for the gov
ernorship and the election of members
of the legislature and congressmen.
Guffey realUes that his Democratic
party is In very bad shape. He knows
that the Democratic vote has been get
ting smaller every year, and that his
only hope of making any showing at
the coming election is througn a iu
slon campaign. He placed the Repub
lican nominee for supreme court Jus
tice upon the Democratic state ticket
because he was fully aware of the fact
that no Democratic candidate would
stand a shadow of a show against Jus
tice Stewart in a fight for the supreme
bench. From the outset he recognised
the fact that his Democratic nominee
for state treasurer, Mr. Berry, was
booked for a good licking at the polls
In November next Now he has sought
to work the old game of fusion to
hoodwink the Republicans Into voting
for Berry, but he has nothing to fuse
with.
There will be the usual quota of so
(.niipd Independent Republican hero
and there who will go along with Ouf
fev. Just as others of their class have
voted for Democratic candidates time
and time again, but they will experi
ence the usual result on election night
when the news will be flashed over the
telegraph wires announcing a sweeping
Republican victory in Pennsylvania.
Guffey to the Front
In commenting upon the outcome of
the Democratic state convention held
here last week, the Philadelphia In
auirer very aptly said:
"Colonel Guffey comes to the front
with his Democratic party and makes
his bow to the public. He present to
the voters the Republican candidate
for the supreme bench, adopts some
resolutions and adjourns in the hope
that the people of Pennsylvania will
elect his candidate for state treasurer,
one Berry, of Chester.
His convention at Harrlsburg was
called for the purpose of carrying out
the little game of politics which the
never victorious leader of Pennsylva
nla Democracy is engaged in. He thinks
thora must still be a large independent
vote In the state therefore he bids for
this vote. He says, in effect,! am an
Independent, in proot oi my inaepen
dence, see what I have had mV conven
tlon do. I have had It nominate a Re-
ubllcan for Justice of the supreme
court. Now you can snow your inde
pendence bv taking my nominee for
Btate treasurer.' "
Pretty Little Game.
It is a very pretty little game. By
taking this step the colonel connnes
the camnnlKn to a single office. He
thinks there Is more chance for Demo
cratic success In November by con
juring with the name of John Stewart,
Republican, than by presenting a full
Democratic ticket. It is really the be
ginning of the campaign of next year,
when a governor will be elected. The
colonel rightly figures that if he could
but carry Pennsylvania In November
next for his Democratic candidate for
state treasurer he could go Into the
fight next year with all the enthusiasm
of past victory and make a hoperui
contest, not only for governor, but for
the legislature and for members of
congress In several close districts.
"We do not think that there is very
much danger that Colonel Gurfeys
party will make much progress. Why
should there be? Are the several hun
dred thousand honest and conscien
tious Republicans of Pennsylvania go
ing to desert their party because of an
Investigation into some filtration con
tracts in Philadelphia? The state
treasuryship has got Just about as
much to do, the Republican party
itself has got Just about as much to do
with that Investigation as the Invest!
gation into the methods of the e.gri
cultural department at Washington
has to do with the Republican organ!
zatlon of the nation at large. There Is
absolutely no connection."
Treasury In Fine Condition.
The Republican party of Pennsyl
vania Is not tinder fire except to the
extent that the usual Democratic guns
carry their harmless political projec
tiles. The treasury of the state is in a
splendid condition. The state Is out of
debt. From the ordinary revenues a
great capltol building has bein erect
ed. Five and one-half millions go every
year to the public schools. The chari
ties of the commonwealth are enor
mous. For the care of the Insane large
sums of money have been appropriat
ed by the last legislature. In many
respects we are leading every other
state In the Union, notably in the mat
ter of public education. These vast
sums have been handled without the
loss of a single penny to the people.
The admlnlsl ration of the state treas
ury is today above criticism. Public
moneys are collected and banked
strictly according to law. There are no
opportunities whatever for the misuse
of public funds.
It Is plainly the Intention of Colonel
Guffey to hoodwink the people Into the
belief that because of (111 ration Inves
tigations In Philadelphia the whole Re
publican parly is not to be trusted.
But when he takes that ground he as
sails the Republican voters themselves
several hundred thousand of them
for it is these voters who constitute
the Republican party. They are not
corrupt. They find nothing wrong at
Harrlsburg and we fancy that Colonel
Guffey and his candidate, Mr. Berry,
will have something of a hard time to
make them agree that the great Repub
lican party of Pennsylvania should be
overthrown because of a municipal
matter in Philadelphia, which Philadel
phia Is quite capable of settling.
