Senator Quay is off to the Main woods, Gover nor Stone h with the soIJiersnt Gettysburg, Sen ator lVnrose is at the seashore and other leaders of the Republican Iiost are oft on their vacation. This will give the Pattison managers a breath ing spell and also an opportunity to figure up the size of Judge Penny packer's majority. The York County Commissioners are uncov ering fresh crookedness every day. Their fraud prober has just discovered that the bills of near ly eighty assessors had 1kh.ii raised $100 each af ter payment. All the assessors of the county were summoned to appear before the commission ers to make known the amount of money they drew since 11)01. This investigation of the finances of the county is about concluded and soniestartlingrevelations are predicted. It seems to have lieai uneasy tiling for the crooked officials of the county to rob the taxpayers right and left. There are increasing signs of a little mix-up in the contest for United States Senator. Senator Penrose feels confident of re-election and Senator Quay has said his colleague will have enough members if the Legislature to make certain his return to the Senate. It is intimated that Attorney General Klkin and his friends will oppose Senator Penrose on the ground that he was too active at the recent. State convention and for the reason that he did and said things which place him outside the pale of friendly considera tion by the Klkin people. Mr. Klkin has not made any statement which would tend to confirm the story that he will lead the opposition to Penrose and until he does ail the reports of a Senatorial rowcan betaken with salt. It is right of any Republican to fight within the party and a contest conducted along proper lines cannot do the organizationally injury. Hut mid-summer po litical speculation is often picturesque and the clear frosty day of the Fall will clear the atmosphere. Such municipal corruption as has been un covered at, Minneapolis has appalled even those communities which were regarded as loose and indifferent from a moral standpoint. It 'appears that the Minneapolis officials were hand in glove with the keepers of disorderly resorts and in league with thieves' nnd confidence men whom they protected for a division of the spoils. The whole municipal structure from the Mayor down seems to have been honeycombed with crooked ness of all sorts. It is apparently up to the pto ple of the avarage city to correct the evils which menace their rights and their property. There are always enough citizens in any community to drive th- wrongdoers to cover and all that is needed is a sturdy enforcement of the laws. In speaking of Hon. Uoleit K. Patiison, Democratic candidate for governor, the Philadel phia JCorth American says Robert E. Pattison caunot be elected governor, and every man who has political common sense knows it It is true that in the country districts he inspires some en thusiasm, yet he is weakest where he isliest known. Organized lalior is against him. Philadelphia democracy is against him. The men who have seen his vacillating course in recent years, his willingness to compromise with evil forces, give no welcome to his nomination. He is not only negatively weak ; he is positive ly vulnerable. His record as a business man and financier during recent years is open to attack, and if he becomes a dangerous rival the ' .epuli- lican machine will unquestionably lav bare that record to the political injury of himself and his party. Distrusted by Independent Republicans, in capable of even inspiring the confidence of Demo crats, failing to measure in integrity or ability the equal of Judge Peunypacker, the Republican ' machine nominee, Robert K. Pattison stands as the impersonation of a reckless, fatal candidacy. i He will receive some independent support, no doubt. Many men, though rating him below Judge Peunypacker, will vote for him us a pro test against (iuayism, being assured that their votes will not elect him. But he is doomed to defeat, and as he falls he will carry deeper into the nure of dispute the faithless, futile Democracy which he unhappily leads.

'IS STATE A IUGNET All Eyes Turned Toward Pennsyl vania This Fall. R008EVELT IS TO BE UPHELD Tha 8olldlfietion of the Republican Party Has Wiped Out the Union Party Republican Campaign to Be a Hot One. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Philadelphia, June 22. "I am glad to see that you Republicans In Pennsyl vania are showing a solid front to the Democrats and are going to carry the state by an old-time majority this fall," said ex-l'nlted States Senator George S. Shoup, of Iduho, a former Pennsylvania!!. "Every political leader that I have met beyond the Mississippi feels Just as 1 do," he continued. "Tho support of every loyal ItepuMienn state is needed at Washington, and the fact that there is a fnlted States senator to elect in Pennsylvania, who must he a Repub lican, adds Interest to this year's tight." "No Pennsylvania Republican can visit Washington as I have done and meet Republicans from all parts of the country without being impressed with the same general interest manifested in our approaching tainpalgn. This Is due to the desire to see national pros perity continued through the unselfish support and continuation of our pres ent Republican administration." WHAT PENROSE SAID. Pennsylvania, tinougn ner represen tatives in the house and senate, has given unwavering support to President Roosevelt. The ft cling in Pennsylva nia, and her duty under existing cir cumstani cs, was most ably expressed by Senator Penrose in an interview In .1ip Philad" ljihia Press of last Tues day. Senator Penrose said: "So far as the state of Pennsylvania Is ronierilej I litinw the people lire heaitily for Ko.evt It. It was the Phil. lib ;ui l Pennsylvania delega tion in 11."

"Mr P.oi.sexelt lias ndheicd in tho mail: to i.i-t !eiLe to continue .YiKhil' j poli.-y," lontiniKd Senator Petnose, "u,:r great prosperity ban continued '".i interrupted notwithstand ing the president's assassination. The j:reat mass of the American people will want this condition to bo continued undisturbed, and tho only assurance that this will be done Is "by continuing the present Republican administration of the government, the achievements of which have been so brilliant in the last six yeara. Unless many great mis takes are made In the next two years public sentiment Is not likely to change on this point." , Pennsylvania should be proud of her Republican representatives In congress In the recent crisis. They appreciated the situation nnd were fully equal to It. Senntors Quay and Penrose Is the senate, .and the congressmen in the house, led by Dahell and the venerable Grow, never halted in their allegiance to the administration, while other Re publicans, not appreciating the situa tion in its gravity, failed to hold up the hands of President Roosevelt, and in many instances opposed the policy of the party. GETTING THE COLD SHOULDER. The aftermath of this action Is now being shown, in Michigan four Repub lican members of congress, who were conspicuous in their opposition to tha administration, have been unceremoni ously rejected by their constituents nnd refused a re-nomlnntlon. Senator Dietrich, of Nebraska, who was one of the leaders in opposition to Cuban reci procity, has been subjected to a verit able frost since his return to Omaha He attended a meeting of tho Repub lican committee and not only was his welcome a chilly one, but bis sugges tions on party management were ig nored. Pennsylvania has no such scores to settle. Her representatives on the Re publican side are loyal, active, far-seeing statesmen, whose ability Is every where recognized. The fitness of Judge Pennypacker for the gubernatorial (hair is also every where recognized, even by Democratic newspapers outside the state. 'I he Washington Star, Independent Demo crat, which has b-'en hostile to Senator Quay and the Republicans of Pennsyl vania, commented on the work of the Republican State Convention ns fol lows, at the same time acknowledging that Pennypacker would be elected: A DEMOCRATIC ENDORSEMENT. "Tho Republican nominee for gov ernor deserves anil commands the re spect of the best men la the common wealth regardless of party, lie accepts bis party leadership with full under standing of what the occasion calls for, and his character in assurance that if elected as he is reasonably certai tn be ho will exert the full influence of the governorship toward giving the people the kind of an administration of their affairs for which for some years they have been clamoring. Judge j Pennypacker may be accepted as a ; leader under whosio banner men of highest ambitions for the stato may i fight with pleasure and confidence. ' ! In the li;;ht of this admission from J Democratic sources, it Is interesting to i note the attitude of the Democracy in I Pennsylvania at the present time. Here In Philadelphia It Is an open secret that former Judge James Qay' Gordon Is not only opposed to Pattison, but that he Is going to knife him when the time comes. City Chairman Donnelly Is particularly bitter against Governor Pattison. Colonel J. M. jGuffey, the state leader of the Democracy, tried to get these warring foes together at Erie. He 6ent for Donnelly, and when the latter came to the door Colonel Guffey went to meet him and invited blm to enter. But Donnelly drew back on the threshold. He caught a glimpse of ex-Governor Pattison inside, and said: "You cannot get me Into a room where that man is, Colonel Guffey. 1 will not have anything to do with him." DEMOCRATS ARE FIGHTING. On the surface Chairman Donnelly and his friends are supporting Patti son. Privately they are expressing ha tred for him. On the other hand, the Republicans of Philadelphia are thor oughly united. There are no Inde pendents, Insurgents or Stalwarts; tney are all Republicans, witnout any divid ing line whatever. All differences have been wiped out except in the case of a few disappointed ofTlce-seekers who nre without a following. The Union party is only a shadow of its former self. In Philadelphia it is prat tli ally out of existence. Speaking of the Pnion party and its present' con dition, the Philadelphia Press, the for mer Independent organ, says: THE UNION PARTY DEAD. "The opinion of a good number of tho active Unionists of last year la that the Union party Is not destined to cut much of a figure in the future poll tics of Pennsylvania. They point to tho fact that the great strength of the party last year was in Philadelphia, where the candidates on the Union ticket polled almost 100,000 votes. The new party was strong then because of tho public indignation over the turning clown of District Attorney Rothormel. "There Is nearly nothing left of tho Union party in Philadelphia today. Not only the ward organizations but the city organization has practically been abandoned. In fact, there was little left of any part of the organiza tion here last spring, when tho Union candidate for magistrate received less than 25,000 votes." Tho secretary of the Republican State Committee, Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, who was in Philadelphia to day, said: "The campaign this year will bo a very vigorous one. I am on my way home to take a rest for ton days or two weeksi and expect to return to Phila delphia about the 14th of August, and open headquarters. -By the 1st of Sep tember, when Senator Quay will re turn, I shall have everything in work ing order for him to begin operations. 1 understand that the Democrats are boasting that they exp3ct to make a whirlwind campaign this fall. The Re publican campaign will be a cyclone compared to which the Democratic at tempt will be a mere puff of not air " Residence Portion of Baltimore De vastated by Fierce Tornado. HUNDREDS OFHOUSES UNROOFED HENRY HARDING j SCHNEE, PA, Of Those Who Perished, Nine Were Drowned In Harbor From Open Boats, One Killed By Falling Tree, and One By Live Wire. Baltimore, July 21. A fierce torna do, characterized by a wind storm of extraordinary velocity, thunder, vivid lightning and a heavy rain, suddenly burst upon Haltimoro at 1.30 p. m. yes terday, coining from the southwest, with the net result that 11 persons lost their lives, hundreds of houses wore unroofed, trees in the public parks nnd streets were torn up by the roots, many buildings damaged and several people Injured. Tho storm exhausted its I'll ry in less than 15 minutes. The damage done in the business part of tho city was comparatively slight, be ing confined to the blowing down of signs and injuries to roofs. It was in the residence portions of tho city along the river front and in the liar bor where the wind spent Its violence. Of those who perished, nine were drowned in the harbor from open boats, one was killed by a falling tree and one by a live wire. Tho following is a list of the killed: Drowned in the harborRoy Bate- man, Joseph Cain, John Cuin, 6 years old; Thomas Carroll, Harry McCor mick, Mrs. Mary Schuler, Harry S Schuler, 10 months old; Olive Schuler, 4 years old; Charles Schuler, 7 years old. Killed by falling tree William Cor nish, colored. Killed by live wire Charles Seha2 for. The first three victims In the above list were out in a rowboat on the river with three other companions. When the storm broke the boat was capsized, three being drowned and three heiri? rescued by tho tugboat Kdna V. George. The boy killed by a live wire had, in company with two other boys, gone into a shed for protection, when the shed blew down, nnd a live wire fell on one of them, resulting in his death. The drowning of Mrs. Schuler and her children was the most pathetic in cident of tho hurricane. MU-hael Schu ler, with his wife and three children, accompanied by his brother-in-law, Jo seph Cooper, and his wife, bad gone out Into the harbor for a sail in a 30-foot boat. When tho storm came, Schuler and Cooper took In sails. Schuler sent his wife and children into tho lntle cabin, and ho stood at tho tiller to keep the vessel's head toward the wind, a sudden K'lst of wind threw tho boom of the vessel nround, knocked Schuler down and pinned him to the deck. An other gust capsized tho boat, releasing Schuler, who, with Cooper and his wife, were thrown into tho water, leav ing Mrs. Schuler and her children pin ned in the cabin. Cooper saved himself and his wife by hanging to the bottom of the overturned boat, and Schuler saved himself In the same way, after making frantic efforts to get at hla imprisoned wife and children. A crew from the schooner Edward H. Hunt rescued Schuler ond Cooper and wife and towed the capsized vessel to the wharf, where It was righted and the dead bodies of Mrs. Schuler and 'her three children taken from the cabin. Thomas Carroll, with four other young men, were out In the harbor in a rowboat, which was capsized. Carroll was drowned, while his four compan ions clung to the rudder of the Mer chant and Miners steamsnlp Chatham, from which perilous position they were rescued by the tug Mary. A colored camp meeting was in pro gress in Paradise Grove, near Powhat tan, on the Liberty road. The congre gation had Just been dismissed when the storm broke. A huge oak tree fel' upon the tent In whlcn the services had been held. Several of the worshippers were caught in it as it fell. The tree had to be sawed into pieces before the imprisoned men and women could be released. William Cornish was crushed to death by the falling tree. The others were not seriously injured. CAPTAIN STRONG- A FUGITIVE Charged With Stealing $250,000 Worth of Jewel From May Yohe. New York, July 22. A formal com plaint of grand larceny was made against former Captain Putnam Brad lee Strong, son of ex-Mayor Strong, last evening by May Yohe, who visited po lice headquarters, accompanied by her mother and her lawyer, and there charged Strong, who recently disap peared from hla home at Hastings, with the theft of Jewels which she values at $250,000. Her complaint was - enter tained and a general alarm was sent out for the arrest of Strong. Miss Yohe's counsel said that the safe in the Knickerbocker Safe Deposit Company, whore Miss Yohe kept her jewels, was opened, and it was found that her jewels, valued at $250,000, had been removed, nothing of value being left In the safe except a few trifling trinkets. He also explained that pawn tickets calling for $100,000 worth of the missing gems had been recovered. Miss Yolie said there was no longer necessity for her to corneal anything regarding the disappearance of the cap tain. "His family has tried to do every thing to Keep him away from me," she said, "and now I do not intend to re main silent or inactive." GENERAL MARKETS Philadelphia. Pa., July 21.
