Quay's Hopeless Canvass.
To those who have watched the prog
ress of the Senatorial contest, as indicat
ed by the result of the primary elections
for the nomination of State Senators ami
Representatives, it has long been appar
ent that Mr. Quay was ho[>elessly beat
en. The complete anti-Quay sweep at
the Bradford county primaries on Satur
day, in which an anti-Quay Senator and
three anti-Quay Representatives were
nominated, has divested the Quay cause
of the last hope of success, and his
friends might as well follow their leader
to the Maine woods and spend the rest of
the season in taking a rest from their
arduous political labors. There will be
a large saving of Quay money and wear
and tear if the whole Quay outfit goes
on a vacation now. To continue the
hopeless contest futlier will be a sheer
waste of time, money and political
effort.
During the last season of the Legisla
ture Quay was never less than a dozen
votes short of an election. In the coun
ties in which primaries bave been held
already he has lost not less than eleven
in Allegheny, one in Armstrong, one in
Forest, three in Washington, one in
Bedford, one, if not two, in Frankin. two
in Lebanon, two in Luzerne, two in
Bradford and one in Warren, or twenty
five in all, and gained two each in But
ler and Mercer, making a net Quay loss
of not less than twenty -one. In addi
tion, he will lose several other members
by fusion movements already under
— way in a dozen or more counties.
The political tide is against Quay, has
been running against him all the season
and the Quav Waterloo in Bradford on
Saturday shows that it is still rising
with no prospect of an ebb. With the
cerainty that he is already defeated to
inspire the future efforts of his opponents
and discourage and depress his friends,
his losses Philadelphia and other coun
ties in which nominations' are yet to be
made, can hardly fail to be in still great
er ratio. While there is nothing that
succeeds like success, there is nothing so
depressing, especially to professional po
litical workers of the type of those who
follow Quay, as continuous defeat.
An enumeration of the causes which
have contributed to such a series of
Saay reverses can only serve to convince
e thoughtful of the entire hopeless
ness of his candidacy. Quay represents
the Republican machine in power, and
besides the political sins which are laid
directly at his door, his cause is loaded
down with the million-dollar reduction
of the school fund. Governor Stone's
unconstitutional veto of the two consti
tutional amendments adopted by the
last Legislature, his own rejected ap
pointment to the Senate, the oleomar
garine scandals, the well-founded im
pression that he does not control the
Federal patronage in Pennsylvania any
longer, and above and beyond all. by
the public distrust of those who are
managing his canvass. Quay has many
and bitter political enemies who are
working for his downfall, but his op
ponents combined have not contributed
a tithe to his hopeless defeat that has
been contributed by those who call
themselves his friends.
Between Quay's well-organized, pow
erful and hopeful opponents and his
fool friends his last chances of election
to the United States Senate by the next
Legislature have gone glimmering, and
he has very wisely betaken himself to
the woods where he can get a little rest,
if nothing more, from political efforts
that jtroduce only disastrous defeat.
His fool friends will probably keep up
the semblance of a contest until the end
of the chapter, which will be a mere
waste of money and effort. No human
power can change hopeless defeat into
victory, and Quay is hopelessly defeat
ed already— Pliil'a Times.
Deadlocked Senatorial Confer
ences.
Forty-two ballots were taken without
result in the Republican btate Senator
ial conference at Kittanning. Wednes
day. The vote was 3 to 3 in each.
When it was demonstrated there would
be no yielding the conference adjourned
to meet in Butler, August 24, at which
definite results are hoped for Capt. A.
G. Williams' conferees were P. W
Lowry. Wm. Watson, of Mt. Chestnut,
and DeHaas Ekas, of Ekas
town; Geo. W. McNeese s were I. T.
Campbell, John F. Whit worth and W.
J. Guthrie.
Mr. Williams took with him to Kit
tanning his conferees, County Chair
man McQuiation, State Committeeman
Wm. Marks. Harry L. Graham. Eli D.
Robinson. Casper Sherman, A. B. C.
McFarland, J. D. Jackson, Jas B.
Mates, W. S. Dixon. Col. O. C. Kedic,
J. M McCollough, John B. Greer, W.
C. Thompson and Edgar H. Negley.
The party stopped at the Reynold's
House aud Geo. Campbell's Nnlton
House. During the afternoon they
formed a trolly party under Mr. Mc-
Neese to the "big Ford City pottery
where Supt. John Wick escorted them
through the entire works. On the
journey home the Butler party stopped
in Freeport and had an excellent supper
at Held s Central House.
The Democratic Statt Senatorial can
didates and conferees for the list dis
trict, composed of Armstrong and But
ler counties, met in the Buller House.
Butler, or rather in the cool and shady
alley adjoining it, Tuesday.
They couldn't agree this time TTTD so
adjourned to meet in Kittanning next
week, and fight it out on a straight line
to the other end of the next Rainbow,
if it takes all summer.
The Vote in Bradford.
A dispatch from Towanda, the coun
ty seat of Bradford county, dated the
sth, said:
"Later return from Saturday's Re
publican primaries in Bradford county
only serve to increase the anti-Quay ma
jorities. Fifty-seven out of sixty-one
precincts give Edmiston, anti-Quay can
didate for State Senator, a majority of
1,510 over Hill his Quay competitor,
while the three anti-Quay candidates
for Representatives J. A. Hamilton,
Fred Taylor and F. F. Lomax—are nom
inated beyond question by majorities as
great, if not greater, than Edmiston's.
The Quay leaders were prepared for de
feat, but not for the avalanche of anti-
Quay ballots under which they were
buried.
In the last Legislature the Bradford
delegation was equally divided, Senator
B. 15. Mitchell and Representative E. I).
Lewis voting for Quay and Representa
tives Robert F. Edniinston and L. T.
Mauley voting against him Saturday s
primaries nominated a solid anti Quay
delegation, a net loss to Quay of two
votes in the next Legislature. The
Bradford canvass was hotly contested,
but Quay was handicapped by the mil
lion dollar school cut. by the oleomar
garine frauds and the presence of a lot
of State officials whose participation in
the canvass made more votes for the
anti-Quay candidates than for these
they favored. Edminston's majority in
Albany township, the home of Inspee
tor Terry, of Pittsburg, who spent a
month electioneering for the Quay can
didates, was 91.
The county conyention, at which the
candidates will be formally placed in
Domination, will not be held until
Thursday, but the anti-Quay majority
is so great that nothing can change the
result. The probability is that the anti-
Quay delegates will organize the con
vention and control the county commit
tee.

lican party is largely in the majority,

in county convention or by direct vote
of the people. Senatorial and Represeu
tgtive candidates who are publicly

senility or bent on tragic political sui
cide would persist in such a contest
and every sincere friend of Mr. Quay,
whether in sympathy with or opposed to
his political aims, must feel that this
open and flagrant crucifixion should
stop.
It has disturbed the Republican party
of the State from centre to circumfer
ence. and if persisted in it must leave
for Mr. Quay only the destiny of a great
political career ended in a blunder that
might well l>e classed as a crime. Mr
Quay owes it to his party, and above
all. he owes it to himself to end this
fearful crucifixion by promptly aud per
emptorily retiring from the field as a
Senatorial candidate —Ex.
Bradford onnty Republican primaries
were held last Saturday and returns
from 51 out of the G7 precincts give Hon.
R. S. Edmiston (anti-Quay), candidate
for State Senator, a majority of 1,385
over J. A. Hill (Quavite).
THE CHINESE WAR.
Thursday last, our State Dept. inform
ed the United States embassies at Lon
don, Paris.. Berlin, Rome and St. Peters
burg and the minister at Tokio, Japan,
that Secretary Hay had seat the follow
ing dispatch on Monday to Li Hung
Chang:
"This government will not enter into
any agreement regarding disposition or
treatment of legations without first hav
ing free communication with Minister
Conger. Responsibility for their protec
tion rests upon Chinese government.
Power to deliver at Tien Tsin presup
poses power to protect and to open com
munication. This is insisted upon."
The message was delivered by Mr.
Goodnow on the 31st to Viceroy Li, who
then enquired whether, "if free com-'
munication were established between
ministers and their governments, it
could be arranged that the (towers
would not advance on Pekin pending
negotiations."
To this inquiry the following reply
was sent on August 1 by Secretary Hay
to Consul General Goodnow at Shang
hai:
"I do not think it expedient to submit
the proposition of Earl Li to the other
powers. Free communication with our
representatives'jin Pekin is demanded as
a matter of absolute right, and not as a
favor. Since the Chinese government
admits that it possesses the power to
give communication, it puts itself in an
unfriendly attitude by denying it. No
negotiations seem advisable until the
Chinese government shall have put the
diplomatic representatives of thf» powers
in full and free communication with
their respective governments, and re
moved all danger to their lives and lib
erty. We would urge Earl Li earnest
ly to advise the imperial authorities of
China to place themselves in friendly
communications and co-operation with
the relief expedition. They are assum
ing a heavy responsibility in acting
otherwise."
The United States representatives iu
Europe aud Japan were instructed to
communicate these dispatches tc the
ministers of foreign affairs at the
respective capitals.
The allied force advancing upon
Pekin from Tien Tsin was said to num
ber, but twenty-thousand, with 170
guns.
Emperor Williams delivered a ser
mon on his yacht on the righteousness of
smashing the Chinese.
Rear Admiral Remey cabled from
Taku, under date of Thursday, as
follows:
' Chaffee reports that 800 Japanese
scouting toward Pietang, lost three men
killed. 25 wounded. Enemy in trenches
and loopboled houses."
This affair was said to have taken
place 10 miles l>eyond Tien Tsin.
Gen. Chaffees message as to the
unexpected resistance offered to the
Japenese reconnoissance was regarded
by military men as forecasting a greater
degree of opposition to the international
advance than had been anticipated.
Nearly all the Loudon correspondents
confirmed the reports of a wholesale
massacre of Christians outside Pekin, a
correspondent of the "Daily News" giv
ing the number of killed as between 10.-
000 and 15,000, all defenseless converts.
Imperial troops, so it is stated, did the
ghastly work.
According to the Shanghai correap*>nd
ent of the London "Times." one of the
members of the Tsnng Li Yamen men
tioned by the United States Consul
Goodnow as having been beheaded for
pro-foreign tendencies was Hsu Ching
Cheng, former minister to Russia. The
correspondent says the Empress Dowager
ordered his execution on the advice of
Li Hing Hen.
Li Hung Chang was informed from
Pekin that Prince Ching's only promi
nent supporters in his peace policy are
Generals Yung Lu and Wang WsnShao.
president of the board of revenue, whose
influence is small.
Sunday's dispatches brought word that
the Imperial troops were massed about
twenty miles west of Tien Tsin, with
extensive barriers, and obstructions in
the river, and that the Chinese had
broken the canal lock, which would
flood the country between them and the
allies. China gave notice that no more
cipher messages would bo forwarded to
Pekin. and no details of the movements
of the allied forces are now allowed.
On Monday of last week the natives
of Tien Tsin took advautage of the ab
sence of the foreign troops and made
some trouble, but were defeated.
On Monday an engagement was report
ed between the Allies and Chinese at
Pelitsang, in which the allies numbering
10,000, lost 1,2000 men; the Chinese put
ting up a hard fight and then retreating.
Li Hung Chang, in an interview, de
fended the Boxers and Prince Tnan.
On Tuesday the number lost in the
fight of S|iu<lay was changed to 400.
The State Dep t. received a cipher
message from Conger which read as
follows:
TSI NAN YAM EN Aug 7
To Secretary of State
Still Iwsieged. Situation more precar
ious. Chinese Government insisting
upon our leaving Pekin, which would be
certain death. Rifle tiring upon us daily
by Imperial troops. Have abundant
courage, but little ammunition or pro
visions. Two progressive Yamen min
isters beheaded. All connected with the
legation of the United States well at
present moment.
The Japanese consul at Shanghai re
ceived by wire a message that the for
eign ministers at Pekin were safe Aug.
1, but they expected a renewal of the
attack by the Chinese at any moment
Only 25 cartridges each and six days
provisions were left. The Japanese
secretary had died of his wounds.
The parliamentary secretary of the
foreign office, Mr. Broderick. in the
House of Commons, said the English
government had informed the Chinese
government that its members will be
held personally responsible if the mem
bers of the foreign legations or other
foreigners at Pekin suffer injury. The
government bad no confirmation of the
statement atributed to Li Hung Chang
that the foreigners had left Pekin for
Tien Tsin under escort. The govern
ment did not think any good purpose
would l)e served by further communi
cations.
Till: AFRICAN WAlt.
Richard Harding Davis, after many
months of campaigning with the
English and Boer armies in South Afri
ca, returned to New York last Saturday
on the American liner New York. Mr.
Davis is not exactly bubbling over
with contempt for the English army
officer, but he is pretty close to it. The
English army officer is. according to
him, the worst possible kind of a loser,
and he told some things as proof of the
justice of his opinions.
For the Boer he has nothing but
praise. Mr. Davis declares the war in
South Africa is not over yet. by any
means, and that the Boers have as good
a chance of winning as they ever had.
"Here is the situation the war cor
respondent and novelist said, as he stood
over his pile of luggage on the Ameri
can line pier. " When General Roberts
took Pretoria it was just as if a hostile
force had marched up from New York
ami captured Albany without being able
to take care of New York after they
had achieved their plan,
"All of the Boers at once fled to the
hills, just as they could get into the
Adirondacks from Albany. The Boers
have enough provisions stored away in
the hills to last them at least a year and
perhaps two years.
' The Boers are not beaten yet aud
their chances of winning are as good
now as they ever were. The English
cannot afford to reduce their present
forces in Africa. They will not be able
to send any of their men there to China.
They need all they have to hold what
they have taken.
Emery ami Sibley in Venango Co.
(B. H. Butler in Pittsburg Times.
Venango county is the home of Joseph
C. Sibley, the Republican nominee for
Congress. Venango is safely Republi
can under ordinary circumstances. I n
1896 the vote was 5,110 for McKinley,
and 4,192 for Bryan. Here is a majority
of nearly 1.000. In the campaign of ISi'T
when Dr. Swallow demoralized figures.
Venango still maintained almost that
plurality. In 1898, with Swallow again
in the field, the plurality had been re
versed, showing S(H) in favor of Jenks,
the Democrat. This was the year that
Stone and Sibley had their famous
battle, and the figures are not indicative
of the real political alignment. By 1599,
with the conditions restored again, the
Republican candidate for Supreme judge
hail a plurality of 915 over his opponent.
All of which would indicate that Ven
ango county is Republican by about 1,-
000 plurality when nothing intervenes to
draw the attention of the voter from
pure party issues. Two years ago Mr.
Sibley developed a remarkable personal
popularity. It was so great as to over
come the "natural Republican majority,
aud to substitute iu its stead a plurality
over Stone of 2.750 votes. Some of this
changing of votes is accounted for by the
disfavor into which Mr. Stone fell by
the post office appointments in the
county.
But Stone is not a candidate now, and
all feeling that he might excite is eli
minated. All of the change of votes
cannot be atributed to Mr. Sibley's pop
ularity. Yet a great deal of it must.
Whatever of personal popularity he
has will be in his favor to
increase his vote beyond the normal
figure. If he can go into the canvass
with the Republican vote firmly in hand
it is not out of the bounds of reason to
expect for him in his home county a
pluralty of 2,000 over his opponent.
This is what I'. C. Bovle, of the Der
rick," thinks Mr. Sibley has a right to
look for in Venango county. The argu
ment is that Mr. Sibley is a prominent
business man of Franklin, employing a
large force of workmen, identified with
the interests of the cummunity, and a
man of many friends among hiaacquaint
ances.
But it is evident that Mr. Sibley is to
find opposition among the Republicans.
There is a decided feeling for Emery in
the county, both because the Republi
cans are not entirely willing for a new
convert to rise up so boldly in the meet
ing, and also because this is another
county where the independent, oil man
is numerous.
Frederic W. Hays is a prominent lie
publican of the county. He says he has
always been one of the extreme stal
warts. He represented his county twice
in the Legislature, and for 10 years was
city solicitor. Mr. Hays said: lam
opposed to Mr. Sibley because I think lie
has no honest i>olitical principles, and 1
am not alone in my way of thinking.
Information from all parts of the county
show a serious defection from Sibley,
and the men who talk to me are the
men who weigh their words, the nn
purchasaDle and the steadfast element
of the party. My authority is reliable
and competent. This authority, locat
ed here and there over the county tells
me that half the Republican committee
men of the county are for Emery. Part
of them may be brought back, but 1 am
satisfied that most of them will stick.
The Democrats assure me they are solid
for Emery. Emery is well known here,
and the independent oil men are solid
for him. The oil men are Republicans
as a rule. Bear in mind that except the
refineries at Franklin all those in the
county that are ruuning are indepen
dent ones. That gives some idea of the
magnitude of the independent interests.
Mr. Emery is a Republican, and being
indorsed by the Democrats does not
alienate any good Republican who is
actuated by legitimate party interests.
Then we do not forgive j Mr. Sibley for
his efforts at Harrisburg to help Quay in
the senatorial fight. We have a strong
anti-Quay sentiment in the county, so
strong that John P. Emery, anti-Quay,
is nominated for the Legislature. He
will probably vote for Sibley, as recog
nizing him as the regular nominee, and
to avoid party complications. But it
shows to what extent the sentiment
exists
"It is almost a repetition of the cam
paign of two years ago. Sibley was
brought out then to defeat C. W. Stone,
because Stone had not satisfied a taction
in the county with his postofficeappoint
ments. Sibley was expected, when elect
ed. to oppose the confirmation of W. M.
McKim, as postmaster in Oil City, iu
hopes that Richard Longwell, the candi
date of the other crowd, might be bene
fitted. Sibley did not opi>ose it. and
McKim was confirmed, and we never had
a better postmaster, but it made Long
well's friends angry. But Stone is out.
I never saw such a revolt against the
nominee in the 25 years I have been in
politics in the county. Republican
committeemen iu many precincts tell
me Sibley will have a small vote and
they know what they are talkinir about.
"Sibley's strength two years ago was
largely "in that hurrah that carries
things with a novelty. The novelty is
worn of now, and he is in just such a
place as Stone was then, the knives are
out for him. Remember that two years
ago. the stalwart Republicans were vig
oronslv opposed to Mr. Sibley, and they
got licked. They have not forgotten the
licking, and do not imagine they are
coming in to support the man who gave
it. It is the straight-outs who are mad. 1
not the chronic sore-heads."
Speaking about money in the cam
paign. I'. C. Boyle, whogave Mr. Emery
a document which carries with it a
penalty of 15,000 if the "Derrick" be
comes abusive in any way at any time,
intimates that it Mr. Emery really needs
the money for campaign expenses it may
be forthcoming. That is h pretty good
sum for a paper in a small city to pay
for the fun of saying mean things al»mt
a political enemy, but it is only another
i>f the straws that show the feeling.
Tlie Ku»l ol' Ticket Scalping.
The Superior Court, in its d>-iision on
the case <>f Com. vs Kearv. indicted for
ticket scalping, under the Act of 1*153.
and who challenged the constitutional
ity of law. recites the previous conten
tions regarding this law. and re-affirms
it. This decision concludes as fol
lows.
The Act of 1 sua does not abridge any
privilege or right secured to citizens,
either by the Constitution of the Unit
ed States or by that of the Common
wealth; nor does it deprive any of prop
erty without due process of law It
does not deprive the holder of a railroad
ticket of the unused portion of it. It
regulates the sale and requires the com
pany issuing to buy. The regulation
may, in some cases, result in the holder
receiving less than would l>e paid by an
individual buyer. On the other hand,
the Act gives to the holder of an unsala
ble, unused portion of a ticket a custo
mer in the company issuing it. The
purchaser of a railroad ticket takes its
subject to such reasonable restrictions
as the law may impose upon the public
business of the carrier. The purpose of
the Act is to prevent fraud. It i 9 recit
ed in the preamble that, "Whereas,
numerous frauds have bgen practiced
upon unsuspecting travelers by means
of the sale, by unauthorized peesons, of
railway and other tickets." The appel
lant is not in the position of one inno
cently selling an unused portion of a
ticket bought in good faith. He is con
fessedly conducting a business at which
the Act of Assembly directly strikes,
and which the legislature has said is
prolific of fradulent results. Theappel
lant is not deprived of any property of
which he is honestly the owner.nor is he
prevented from prosecuting a business
of a kind recognized by the law as res
pectable. The privileges and immuni
ties protected by the Constitution are
subject to such restraints astheGovern
ment may prescribe, for the general good
of the whole people. The appellant
has. therefore, no right to complain of
the restriction put upon his business,
which has been stigmatized as conduc
ive to fraudulent acts and practices.
To those not familiar with the evils
which have led the legislatures of Penn
sylvania and other States to pronounce
the business of a - ticket broker or
"ticket scalper" fradulent and punish
able, the examination of the reports of
the Interstate Commerce Commission u
interesting and instructive. (See Inter
state Commerce Reports (Co Op. ed.),
vol. Xf., page 345; vol. 111., page 863.
An excerpt from the last citation may
be found in Raj- on Passenger Carriers,
138.) The facts and figures given ar ■
astounding; they are too voluminous to
embody here. The impression made on
the minds of the Commission is evinced
by the expressions contained in the au
nual report for (page 3f>4>. Some
of them are as follows: "In whatever
aspect ticket scalping may lie viewed,
it is fradulent alike in its conception
and in its operations.
* * * Fraud, therefore, is the incen
tive to the business
* * * One might suppose that »
practice of this character could do
more be defended than larceny or for
gery, bat, strange aait may appear, it;
is defended before legislative bodies and
eleewhere. and the right to carry it on
nnmolested is demanded. While t>>
the legislative liodv may be conceded a
large discretion in pronouncing upon
the moral character of the acts in res
pect to which they have legislated, yet
is the corroboration of their judgment
acceptable from a sonrce created by
National authority, with National
opportunity and obligation to obtain
accurate information. Tliir reports
further show that, the evil appearing
great, the Commission have, on more
than one occasion, advocated the pass
age of legislation by Congress, not differ
ing greatly from the Penhsylvania Act,
in order that the business of the ticket
broker mignt be stamped out by Nation
al authority.
Finding no error committed by the
court below, the judgment is affirmed
and the record is remitted, that the
sentence imposed by the court below
may be carried out.
