Justice Toomej's Olltce the Sceno of an lSxcltloy; Incident. Andrew Drogalus and Thomas Kreshanis became Involved in a quarrel In ft South Main strtet saloon last night and Kreshanis was badly beaten. Ho went to Justice Toorney's office and swore out n warrant for his as mllant's arrast. Drogalus was In a f err ex citablo mood when before tlio Justice and made several InofTcetual attempts to get at tlio complainant. The Justice warned blm that to commit an assault durinz the hearing would constitute an oflenso of a 1 much more serious character than an assault elsewhere. This appeared to havo an ofloct upoa tne defendant and he rematnou quiet. The case was then proceeded with. Tho com plainant stood in front of tho desk and the defendant a few feet from him. As Kreohanis was telling his story tho prisoner suddenly swung his arm around and gave tlio witness a back-hand blow in the face that sent him against tho wall about eight feet distant. Tho assailant was about to follow up tho attack when Justice Toomey and Constablo Qiblon sprang upon him. Tlio bearing was dis pensed with and the prisoner was committed in default of J500 ball. Tho floor of the Justice's office was bespattered with blood that Drogolus blow caused to flow from Krechanis' face. Kendrlck House Free Lunch.

THE FIGHT AGAINST fSARTItf It Is Attracting: Attention TtirouKhout the state. MUGWUMPS ARE ALL AT SEA! Swallow Wants to Run, But Wharton Bar ker and Wayne MacVeagh Are Bis Only Sponsors One is a Free Silver Man and the Other a Free Trader. 1 Special IIbbald correspondence. Philadelphia, Deo." N The local polit ical situation in Philadelphia la crowing In Intensity and Interest. The fight Is nominally upon the question of who shall be the next receiver of taxes, but the result will mean more than this, because it will determine which element of the party Is to name the next mayor of the municipality, and the termina tion of the contest will also make It clear who will control the Philadelphia delegates to the next gubernatorial con vention and also the members of the legislature from the Quaker City. The fight is a battle against the power of David Martin in city politics, and those who are in It propose to continue their efforts until they have succeeded In overthrowing the odious machine that Martin has commanded for the last eight years. The particular object at the present time Is to defeat William J. Roney for the renomlnatlon for re ceiver of taxes, but the contest has in it nothing personal against Mr. Ro ney, who unfortunately happens to be a brother-in-law of Mr. Martin, and who Is regarded in a special manner as being the personal choice of the com bine boss. The fight Is against Mar tlnlsm In all Its phases, and Mr. Roney is a mere Incident In the contest. Those who Imagined that the meet ing between Senator Quay and Mr. Martin would deter Quay's former friends from conducting the fight against Martin now find that they were sadly mistaken. The anti-combine ele ment In Philadelphia believe in Quay, consider him a sagacious national lead er, and consider that he has made a valuable United States senator, but they do not regard his Judgment as In fallible when he condescends to dip into division, ward and city politics. Hence, they propose to go ahead on their own lines without consulting any person or persons outside of the city limits. United States Senator Boles Penrose, who has won all of his political laurels by reason of the fact that he has kept In touch with the plain people, has not belled his record In this instance. As soon as It became known that there was to be a serious light between the Martin and antl-Martln elements In Philadelphia he promptly and courage ously and In the most public manner allied himself with the antl-Martln forces. He has Indorsed the candidacy of Harvey K. Newltt, the antl-Martln candidate for receiver of taxes, and has signified his willingness to take the stump in Mr. Newltt's behalf. The people of Philadelphia are thor oughly aroused upon this Issue, and if the 8,000 municipal employes, including the police and firemen, are compelled to keep their hands off there cannot be a shadow of a doubt concerning the result. Mr. Martin will simply be swept out of political existence. He obtained his hold in local affairs through the as sistance of the officeholders, and he has continued his grip upon the party ma chine solely because of the immense patronage that has been placed at his disposal by a subservient mayor and by weak and vacillating heads of city de partments. Penrose, who always has been strong In the city of his birth, has strengthened himself Immeasurably by his decisive stand In this controversy. The mugwump element and the con stitutional kickers In the Republican party seem to be all at Bea concerning their intentions In the coming guberna torial contest. There has been much backing and filling during the last three or four weeks, and no one can tell just what they propose to do in the mat ter. The friends of Dr. Swallow are anxious to have htm nominated as the candidate for governor, but the most sanguine of them admit that as a pure ly Prohibition candidate he could not hope to poll more than half the num ber of votes next year for governor that he polled this year as a candidate for state treasurer. State Chairman Gar man, of the Democratic state commit tee, who was expected to give comfort to an Independent movement, has come out In a public Interview In which he dashes the hopes of the mugwumps to the ground. He says that he Is against coalition In any shape or form, and that no one but a straight slmon pure Dem ocratic candidate can expect the sup port of his organization next year. In addition to this there Is a division In the Democratic party. That portion represented by Mr. Carman and hlB free silver friends are in favor of the nomination of some candidate like ex Congressman Joe Slbloy or James M. Quffey, the millionaire Pittsburg oil operator. On the other hand, the gold Democrats, like ex-National Chairman Harrlty and ex-State Chairman Wright, favor the selection of some man In the olasa of Robert JS. I'attison or ex-Attorney General William U. Hensel. The only persons who are with Swallow on the ooalltlon Idea are Wharton Barker and Wayne MacVeagh, the one a free sliver man and the other an avowed free trader. Here we have contusion worse confused. The distinctly anti-Quay Republicans have been making a frantlo and un successful endeavor to rally around At torney General McCormlck. McCormlak wants to run, but he has not the cour age to come out and boldly declare himself a candidate. He Is living in the vain hope that some deal may be made by which he can obtain the sup port of Senator Quay. Without that his oase seems hopeless. He is not per sonally popular in the state, and out side of his own county and in a few anti-Quay spots In the state he has no political strength worth talking oiiout. Moreover, It la out of the question for him to go Into the field as a reform can didate, because he Is mainly held re sponsible for the Hastings regime, which has been anything but & reform administration, and which has In ad dition to .answer for the Dolltlc&l sin of appointing David Martin as secretary of the commonwealth. Congressman William A. Stone, of Allegheny, stopped In Philadelphia a few days ago on his way to Washing ton to attend the session of congress which begins today. Colonel Stone had nothing to say concerning his candi dacy for the Republican nomination for governor except that reportB from his friends throughout the state who are working for his auoceas are very favorable. "My whole attention Just now," he said, "is devoted to advancing the bill I Introduced In the extra session, and which is in committee, to restrict Im migration. I have every reason to be lieve that it will be favorably reported at an early date, and will pass the house before the summer recess. The Pennsylvania members should support this bill as a urrit, as this state suf fers more through excessive immigra tion than any other state in the Union. In other states the Immigrants orowd Into the cities, but in Pennsylvania they not only locate in the large cen ters of population, but also in the coun try districts. "This is because of the diversified in dustries spread over this state. We have anthracite and bituminous coal mining, coke, oil, iron and natural gas, and the operation of these varied inter ests attracts tho immigrants in such numbers that competition with Amer ican workmen reduces wages and re sults in our citizens walking the streets because they cannot support their fam ilies upon the compensation that for eign rivals are willing to labor for. "Over 70,000 Immigrants were dump ed Into Pennsylvania lost year. Our mills and workshops are running on full time, yet we have thousands of un employed citizens seeking work. That Is not prosperity. Weshouldseek to take care of our own first, and the proper way to do It Is to place some restric tions upon Immigration. It is said by the opponents of my bill that Ameri cans will not dig ditches. The answer to that is they will dig ditches if they are paid fair wages. The digging of ditches and dirt do not degrade labor; It Is the wages" that degrades It. Pay a man wages enough to enable him to keep his family and educate his chil dren, and no matter what his work is. If It Is honest, he and those dear to him are contented and happy." Colonel Stone was asked If he thought congressmen from other states Would support a bill that would benefit Penn sylvania to a greater extent than the other commonwealths' "I think so," he replied. "We pass ed the Chinese exclusion act In the In terest of California, yet It has been of benefit to almost every other state in the Union. If they do not support a bill to restrict Immigration In time their own states will feci the effect by the overflow from Pennsylvania seek ing employment In their localities." T. M. A. HIckert's Cate, Sour krout, freo, to-night. Somethjug special to-morrow morning, The C011I Trade, Tho anthracito coal trade season of 1697 has practically closed, and from now until the end of tho year tho demand for coal will be regulated by the thermometor. Whatever new business is done will bo only from hand to mouth. Tho scarcity of small tonnage vessels, owing to so many wrecks ad compe tition of the largo business which has made the building of new coastwiso coal carrying schooners unprofitable, is now telling. In tho month of November tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Westorn Railroad is re ported to havo overshipped its allotment of tonnage, but the company was anxious to hurry forward to Buffalo all tho coal possible for shipment to Western Lake ports before the close of navigation. The Lackawanna .Company is now reported to be curtailing its output, and will, it is said, hold down its tonnage of newly-mined coal as closely as possible to tho actual requirements of its trado. The Lehigh Valley Coal Company is bolievod to have recovered in November a part of the tonnago it lost by the striko in the Ilazleton region in October. The Head' lug Coal and Iron Company worked its col lieries about two-thirds time last week, but that company was benefitted in October by the Lehigh strike, so that it can afford to go moro siowiy now.

The attendance In both houses of congress yesterday was notably large, despite the known fact that no business would be trans acted. The event of the day was, of course, the reading of the president's message, a voluminous document of 14, 000 words, and at the conclusion of the reading both houses adjourned until today. The message congratulates congress upon assembling under felicitous con ditions. Peace and good will with all the nations of the earth remain un broken, he says, and we should feel genuine satisfaction at the growing spirit of fraternal regard and unifica tion In all sections of our country and the lifting of great public sense above party prejudice. Beginning with the subject of the finances the president says that, while the full effect of the legislation of the extra session has not yet been realized, what It has already accomplished as sures us of Its timeliness and wisdom. To test Its permanent value further time will be required, and the people, satisfied with Its operation and results thuB far, are In no mind to withhold from it a fair trial. The next question pressing for con sideration is that of the currency. With the great resources of the gov ernment and with the honorable ex ample of the past before us, we ought not to hesitate to enter upon a cur rency revision which will make our de mand obligations less onerous to the government and relieve our financial laws from ambiguity and doubt. The evil of the present system Is found In the great cost to the government of maintaining at parity with gold our different forms of money, and the ex perience of the past four years have demonstrated that this Is not only an expensive charge upon the government, but a dangerous menace to our na tional credit. l'rotoct Ion AirnlnHt Ilollil Irsuob. It is manifest that we must devise some plan to protect the government against bond Issues for repeated re demptions. We have $900,000,000 of currency which the government by sol emn enactment has undertaken to keep at par, and nobody is obliged to redeem In gold but the government, whloh must redeem in gold. The law which requires the payment out of the treas ury of redeemed United States notes demands a constant replenishment of the gold reserve, especially in times of panic and Insufficient revenue, and dur ing the preceding administration J2G2, 315,400 4 per cent bonds were Issued and sold to sustain the gold reserve and pay the expenses of the government in excess of the revenue. While it Is true that a greater part of this Is used to supply deficient revenues, a considerable portion was required to maintain the gold reserve. If no fur ther legislation Is to be had to cor rect this, and the policy of selling bonds Is to be continued, then congress should give the secretary of the treas ury authority to sell bonds at long or short periods, bearing a less rate of In terest than Is now authorized by; law. The president says: "I earnestly recommend, as soon as the receipts of the government are quite sufficient to pay an the expenses of the government, that when any United States notes are presented for redemption in gold and are redeemed in gold, such notes shall be kept and set apart and only paid out In exchange for gold. This 1b an obvious duty. If the holder of the United States note prefers the gold and gets it from the government he should not receive back from the government a United States note without paying gold In exchange for it." That amounts, to the presi dent's mind, to giving an interest bear ing debt, a government bond, for a non Interest bearing debt, a United States note. The president Invites careful con sideration for the detail plan of the sec retary of the treasury to protect the gold reserve. He concurs with him In the recommendation that national banks be allowed to Issue notes to the face value of their bonds deposited: that the circulating tax be reduced to one-half of 1 per cent, and that na tional banks may be established with a capital of $26,000. He also recom mends that the Issue of national bank notes be restricted to the denomina tion of $10 and upward, and that they be required to redeem their note In gold. The Cuban Question. The president devotes much space to a consideration of the Cuban ques tion. Summarising the history of for mer outbreaks, the president comes down to the present insurrection, speak ing of Us remarkable Increase, Its ten acious existence against enormous forces massed by Spain, the wide spread destruction of property and the disregard of the civilised code of war on both sides. He says these condi tions give rise to gravest apprehen sions. There Is no desire to profit by Spain's misfortunes, and we have only the desire to see the Cubans enjoying that measure of self control which Is the inalienable right of all. Of the con centration policy of Weyler he says: "It has utterly failed as a war meas ure. It is not civilised warfare; It is extermination." Against this abuse of the rights of War, the president shvh ht lias felt constrained on repeated (Kruslons to enter the linn and earnest pioiest of this guei timent lie outlints his ln Btruetlcns to Mmi-u-i Woodford, which were In Mibstam . to Impress upon the Spanish government the sincere wish of the United States to lend its ajd toward the ending of the war bv Continued on 'I Mrd page J lAprd in assii)g.
