LIVE POLITICS AT THE STATE CAPITAL Democrats Take Possession of Harrisburg For the Week. CREASY IS NOT POPULAR. Stratffbonts In tlie Democratic Party 1IHV» .Little Time For Him Itet'BUae of His Associations With ltupublt cau lamiriieuts, (Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, June 13.—The town Is filled with Democratic politicians, and there is great wire pulling going »n for the nominations which will be made in the state convention to be held here tomorrow. There are over 30 candidates for the nomination for eupreme court judge, and the indica tions are that Ouffey's man, Creasy, of Columbia, will be nominated for state treasurer. While Guffey relies upon Insurgent Republican help to elect Creasy, when the campaign develops, if this candidate shall be chosen, it will be found that he will not have the support of many Democrats, particu larly those of the stalwart type, who declare that Creasy Is more of a sup porter of Van Valkenburg, one of the managers of the Republican Insur gents' organization, than he Is of the Democratic party* But all this will come out In the wash —that Is, the shaking up Creasy will get if he ever receives the nomina tion. "BOSS" FLINN SHOWN UP. "Bill" Flinn, the Pittsburg political boss and highway contractor, who. when at home, dominates one of the most practical machines in Americar politics and while in the legislature at Harrisburg poses as a reformer, wai shown up in his true character last week. The Republican nominating convention was held in Pittsburg, and. as of yore, Flinn was ou hand to crack the whip and boss the job. He bad a slate made out imd it went through without much of a dis turbance. Flinn presided, and one of his opponents In the convention gave him a rebuke for his political dupliclt). This anti-Flinn man said that he had admired Fllnn's stand at Harrisburg against all slates and bosses; the speaker stated, however, that Flinn in Harrisburg and Flinn in Pittsburg seemed to entirely different creatures. He said that In the Smoky City Flinn wrote the slate and bossed the con vention. He challenged successful con tradiction of his assertion. Flinn was enraged over the speech. He did not think it possible that any man in Pittsburg could have the temerity to attack Flinn, city contrac tor, boss and reformer. A dozen times he pounded the gavel and tried to si lence the speaker, but without avail. The antl-FUnn man said that he did not propose to be bulldozed by Flinn nor by anybody else, and he spoke un til he had tinislied all that he had to say. The expose created a sensatiou, HENDERSON THANKS PENNSYL VANIA. Colonel Henderson, whose election to the speakership of the house of repre sentatives is now assured, has tele graphed a hearty acknowledgment of the action of the Pennsylvania dele gation in swinging solidly into line in favor of his election at an important stage of the light. While the western states are joining the Henderson forces In splendid style many of the eastern delegations were holding back, evi dently waiting further developments. New York's delegation was involved in an unseemly wrangle, the outcome of which was clouded In doubt. Wher- General Henderson heard that there was to be a meeting of the delega tion of the Empire state he was ex ceedingly anxious that his eastern friends should be gotten into line at once. Pennsylvania, with her 20 votes, was appealed to, and it was not in vain. General Bingham was in constant communication with General Hender son until he was able to wire him that 19 of the 20 Pennsylvanians had tele graphed him that they could be count ed upon, and that the other one, who could not be reached, would be also in line. This fact was made known to the New Yorkers in time to block any game that might have been in contem plation in the interest of any other candidate. General Henderson sent a lengthy and very cordial telegram ex pressing keen appreciation of the prompt and effective action of his Pennsylvania friends. The stalwarts of the Keystone state seem to be once more with the win ners. But mark the change! Hastings, McCormlck and Martin are no longer In office at Harrisburg. Tho regulars, with Stone, Elkir: and Grlest, are now In absolute command of the offices at the atate capital. Hw wn THREE KILLED IN A WRECK Waalc Bridge Causa* Fatal Accident at Norfolk and Western.

Tlie Mor ong expedition and tlie advance 01 t'arauaque. however, is cousidereti sufficient proof that He rains will not necessitate inaction in the next two 01 three mouths, and that he advautagt already gained will lie followed up. While < ieii. (iti:.'s reeouimeuitation that the rainy season need not neces sarily deter the American advance had great weight with the President, the visit of (Jen. Miller, on his arrival front Manila, was even more convinc ing. as lty personal conversatnn and in qulry the President was enabled to view every phase of the situation. (Jen. Miller told the Presidt ill that the rainy season in the Philippines was vasily different frotll thai experietieed in Cuba. The rains, lie said, were not continuous, and while the downpour at times was exceedingly heavy, ii was spasmodic. The soil absorbed lite water like a springe, and hall' an hour after a storm ceased the gtfoiinil was dry and hard enough to permit the ad vance of infantry, and even t\f artil levy.

There are excellent points for recuperation within the American lilies, and army sanitariums will be established for the care of the soldiers. Manila. June 1A force of 4.">0 men under (Jens. I.awton.
