This will give the Pattison managers a breath ing spell ami also uu opportunity to figure up the size of Jutlge Penny paeker's majority. The York County Commissiouers are uncov ering fresh crookedness every tlay. Their fraud prober has just discovered that the bills of near ly eighty assessors had Ikvu raised $100 each uf ter payment. "All the assessors of the county were summoned to :i ppeur before the commission ers to make known tke amount of money they drew since 1101. This investigation of the finances of the county is about concluded and Bomestartling revelations are predicted. It seems to have been an easy thing for the crooked officials of the comity 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 tuay has said his colleague will have enough members -f 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 l.e was too active at the recent State convention and for the reason that he did and said tilings which place him outside the pale of friendly eonsidera- I tion by the Klkin people. Mr. Klkin lias not made any statement which would tend toconfirm the story that he will lead the opposition to Penrose and until he docs ail the rejxM ts of a Senatorial row can be taken with salt. It is right of any Ucpnblicaii to fight within the party and a contest conducted along proper lines cannot do the organization any injury. But mid-summer po litical speculation is often picturesjiie and the clear frosty day nt the Fall wilt clear the atmosphere. Such municipal corruption as has been un covered at, Minneapolis has appalled even those communities which were regarded as loom and indifferent from a moral standpoint. It "appears that the Minneapolis ollicials were hand in glove with the keepers of disorderly resorts aud in league with thieves' nnd confidence men whom they protected for a division of the sjioils. The whole municipal structure from the Mayor down seems to have been hotipvconibed with crooked ness of all sorts. It is apparently up to the rxo 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 thy wrongdoers to cover ami all that is needed is a sturdy enforcement of the laws. In speaking of Hon. Uoliert K. Pattison, Democratic candidate for governor, the Philadel phia North American says Robert E. Pattison cannot 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 lalnir 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, aud it he becomes a dangerous rival the ' .epuli lican machine will uniiestioiiahly lay 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 eipial of Judge Peunypacker, the Republican machine nominee, Robert K. Pattison stands as the impersonation of a reckless, fatal candidacy. ; He will receive some independent support, no doubt. Many men, though rating him Inflow Judge Peunypacker, will vote for him as a pro test against Quayisin, beinir assured that their votes will not elect him. But he is doomed to defeat, and as he falls he will carry deeper into the mire of dispute the faithless, futile Democracy which he unhappily leads.

IDE STATEA MAGNET All Eyes Turned Toward Pennsyl vania This Fall. ROOSEVELT IS TO BE UPHELD Th Solidification 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 Kepublicans 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'nitej Ftates Senator George ?. Slump, of Idaho, a former Pennsylvanian. "Every i'dlth r.! leader that I have met beyond the Mississippi feels Just as I do," he continued. "The support of every loyal Republican state is needed at Wafhlr.rton, ar. 1 the fact that there is a I'nitol ?tatf-s senator to elect in Pennsylvania, who rrriFt be a Repub lican, adds i :iter M to this year's ficht." "No Pennsylvania K-pib'.ii-an visit Wash in meet KepuMi "un'ry with the "am" our a;pra. r due to the i;. jer;ty font in support ar.d ent Kep-ibl: WHAT PENROSE SAID. 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 years. Unless many great mis takes are made in the next two years public sentiment Is not likely to chance on this point." Pennsylvania should be proud of her Republican representatives In congress in the recent .risis. They appreciated thp situation and were fully equal to It. Senators Quay and Penrose Is the senate, end the congressmen in the in Philadelphia it is an open secret that former Judge James Gay' 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 sent for Donnelly, and when the latter came to the door Colonel Guffey went to meet him and invited him to enter. Dut Donnelly drew back on the threshold. He caught a glimpse house, led hy Dal '.eU and the venerable j 0f ex-Governor Pattison Inside, and Grow, never hailed in their allegiance I Ba: ran v n a I have done and ar.s from all parts of the it l.'-ir.c impressed with rai i:.t--n-.t manifested in a:npaii--n.

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 the administration, have been unceremoni ously rejected by their constituents and refused a re-nomlnatlon. 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 the Repub- "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, wunout any divid lnp line whatever. All differences have been wiped out except in the case of a few disappointed office-seekers who are without a following. The Union party Is only a shadow nf its former si if. In Philadelphia it Is compared to which the Democratic at tempt will be a mere puff of not air " Residence Portion of Baltimore De vastated by Fierce Tornado.

A fierce torna do, characterized by a wind storm of extraordinary velocity, thunder, vivid lightning and a heavy rain, suddenly burst upon Haltimoro at 1.3o p. m. yes terday, coming from the southwest with the net result that 11 persons lost their lives, hundreds of houses wort- unroofed, trees in the public parks and streets were torn up by the roots, many buildings damaged and several people injured. The storm exhausted its fury in less than l' minutes. The damage done in the business part of the city was comparatively slight, be ing confined to the blowing down of signs and injuries to roofs. It was In the residence iHrtlons of the city along the river front and in the har 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. The following is a list of the killed: Drowned in the harbor Roy Rate- man, Joseph Cain, John Cain, C years old; Thomas Carroll, Harry McCor- mick, Mrs. Mary Schuler, Harry S per.: J '. w i it.

They point to the fact that the great strength of the party last year was In Philadelphia, where the candidates on the Union tb ket polled almost 100,000 votes. The new party was strong then because of the public indignation over the turning down of District Attorney Rothermel. "Th' re is nearly nothing left of th" 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 la.-t spring, when the Union :.:.

I understand that the Democrats are boasting that they cxpxt to make a whirlwind campaign thU fall. Tho Re publican campaign wil1 be a cyclone 4 years old; Charles Schuler, 7 years old. Killed by falling tree William cor nish, colored. Killed by live wire Charles Schas fer. The first three victims in the above list were out in a rowhoat on the river with three other companions. When the storm broke the boat was capsized, three lieinj? drowned and three heir"? rescued hy the tugboat Edna V. George. The boy killed by a live wire had, In company with two other boys, gone Into a shcil for prot'etion, when the shed blew down, nnd a live wire fell on one of them, resulting In his death. The drowning of Mis. Schuler and her children was the most pathetic In cident of the hurricane. Michael Schu ler, with his wile and three children, accompanied by his brother-in-law, Jo seph Cooper, and his wife, had gone out Into the harbor for a s.ail In a 30-foot boat. Wli' u the btorm came, Schuler and Cooper took In nails. Schuler sent his wife and children into the little cabin, and hit flood at the tiller to keep the vessel's head toward the wind, a sudden gust of wind threw the boom of the vessel around, knocked Schuler down nnd pinned him to the deck. An other gust 1 apslzed the boat, releasing Schuler, who. with Cooper and his wife, were thrown into tho water, leav Ing Mrs. S dmlcr and her children pin ned In tho cabin. Cooper saved himself and bis wife by hanging to tno bottom of the overturned boat, and Schuler saved himself In the same way, after making frantic efforts to get at his Imprisoned wife and children. A crew from the schooner Edward H. Hunt rescued Schuler and Cooper and wlf 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 steamsnip 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 Jewels From May Yohe. New York, July 22. A formal com plaint of grand larceny waa 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 his home at Hastings, with the theft of Jewels which she values at $250,000. Her complaint waa 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, where 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 fw trifling trinkets. He also explained that pawn tickets calling for $100,000 worth of the missing gems had been recovered. Miss Yohe said there was no longer necessity for her to corneal anything regarding tho disappearance of the cap tain. "His family has tried to do every thing to keep li 1 111 away from me," she snid, "nnd now I do not intend to re main silent or inactive." GENERAL MARKETS Philadelphia. Pa., July 21.
