fFrom Our Own Porroopondf nt.)
IlnrrlHhurfr. July 12. When B'nntfr
Uwiy Rave out the Intltnatinn in Wnsh-
iiiKton the other day that he would
rt-tlre from put-llc life nt thf pxpfrntlnn
of hlfl term In th Unltrd Htatcn (nfiti(
the ntiixiuncenient waa snouted in unrne
riuarters an holng n n lteratlun of an
old story, nut tt wns believed by many
P'-ople, beeauRc Senator Quay hnd pri
vately Ptnted to ome of his f t ler.ds
that he wn prowliiR weary of the
caroH of public .oflice, und wan dlnpopud
to peek fiiilet and reft In the lxismn of
hla fanil'y. Saturday, however, he
came to HarilahurR with Senator Tun
HiPe, and nft"T a t'otiferonru with Uov-
ftnmr HaHtlrmn reRurdliiK matters of
1-niHlMttiio Bt ill under consideration at
the ex-M utlve. mi tment, returned to
bin hotel and rubinltted to nn Inter
view, In whb-h he Ftate.l that he would
be a candidate ff)r re-election. "For
the Mint time In my Iff he said, "I
am n full flednd candidate for the
lUilt'd Htatea senate." Ho admitted
that ho came to HarrlRbure partially
to make this annouiieement, but It Is
more likely that his visit to this rlty
at this tlmp was f'r an entirely differ
ent purpose. It 1h bruited about that
Senators Uuay and Penrose uri'ed the,
pnvurnnr to slpn the Heekt r bill, re
riulrtng' all sppolntntents by the mayor
f Philadelphia to be confirmed hy tho
vote of three-fifths of the members of
select counell. This is a factional
nieuKUre, and wap Introduced Into the
Itrffif)lntur by Senator Durham, with
a view to crushing the anti-Quay peo
ple of Philadelphia, who are at pres
ent In control of the city admlnlstra-
ilon. Neither Governor Hastings nor
Senator Quay would talk after their
conference, but It is reported that the
crovei nor declim d in positive terms to
approve the Heeker bill. It is known
that he does not desire to mix in a fac
tional quarrel.
KepardlnK his candidacy for re-elec
tion, Henator Quay said while here that
he hnd been overruled and had come to
IfarrlHburn to consult the governor and
jther friends about his candidacy. He
said further: "The llery cross will
again be carried over the state, and the
men in blouses the bourgeois will
be asked to rally to my support. Gov
ernor Hustings will assist me, for Gov
ernor Hastings and I will never again
be apart." Senator Penrose aud other
friends of Senator Quay say they are
much grattlled at his statement, and
express no doubt of his election; but
notwithstanding these confident asser
tions, there Is promise of a great fight
or Senator Quay's seat when the time
2on a.
Senator Quay Is not as young as hd
once wan, ana nis nequeni names
against foes within and without the
party have left their scars. Some of his
most loyal friends, however, affect to
believe that he will not retire from pub
lic life until he sinks to rest In the
luiet bivouac of the bravo soldier. At
the conclusion of thu great flght within
Lhe Republican party in 1K05 it was an
nounced with some show of authority
that Senator Quay would be a candi
date for governor next time, the the
ory being that he desired to finish his
public career by going before the people
'or a vindication. His recent statement,
lowever, that he will not be a candidate
for governor, and his further Intima
tion that he seriously contemplates rearing-
to the privacy of his home,
it emed to set at rest the gubernatorial
rumor. It Is well known that Henator
Quay's family are very anxious to have
aim urop out of public life. They feel
that the strain upon his health is too
ievere, and that he ought to have rest
ind quiet. There Is some ground for
Lhe story that he will spend the sum
nur In a tour abroad on the yacht of a
well known Philadelphia traction mag
nate. Senator Quay has been much in
terested in the passage of the tarilf bill,
ind if the bill goes to the president
within the next ten days it Is probable.
Lhat he will go abroad for the summer.
There is not a tittle Interest In the
coming convention of the Republican
of Pennsylvania. Borne time ago tt
was generally understood that there
would be a factional split in the party,
but the anti-Quay element have given
it out that they will fight within the
lines, and that under no circumstances
will they bolt the nominee of the party.
This practically assures the election of
the Republican ticket, as It is believed
that the Democratic organization is too
much divided to make a winning fight
this year, even with serious defections
from the ItepublUun party. It can be
stated with almost absolute certainty
that the Republican ticket will have
upon It after the August convention the
names of James 8. Reacom, of Wtst
morelanu, for state treasurer and Ma
jor Levi G. McCauley, of Chester
county, for auditor general. If Judge
Willard, of Scranton, resigns- his scat
on the bench of the superior court,
which It Is said he intends to do, then
there w,lll be a third place on the ticket,
which will probably be filled bv the
nomination of Alex Simpson, of Phila
delphia. The nominees of the Demo
crats have not yet been seriously con
sidered, but the name of Captain George
W. Skinner, of Pittsburg, has been
mentioned in connection with the omce
of state treasurer. Hee Is an old Boldier
and popular outside the party lines. He
has said that he would not be a
candidate, but there Is a disposition to
urge him to accept the nomination. The
Democrats will make the most of the
recent legislature as a campaign Issue,
but the Republicans say the Democrat
ic minority in the lawmaking body !s
in a poor pOHltlon to point the finger of
scorn at the majority.
Governor 'Hastings returned from a
Polling trip tn the wilds of Potter
county wtth Attorney General McCor
mlck Wednesduy afternoon, and after
a good night's rest he began the con
slderatlon of the almost 3o0 bills
Itft him aa m legacy by the legislature.
About thrfct'-fourths of these bills are
appropriation measures, and . as the
ltKU4lat"' has appropriated almost
15,000,000 In the lure of the 'repeated
warnings of the state officials about
the la k of revenue. It will be necessary
for the governor to swing his veto ax
with mote than his uwual vigor to keep
the expenditures within the income of
Um stttttf. Private Secretary R'-itler
and the other clerks in the executive
department have prepared for the gov
ernor a comparative statement show
ing Uie appropriations, to the various
liiKtitutioiiu fin the Hussions of 111, 'y;it
'4j5 and '17. This statement will enuble
him to dispose of the bills with somti
Uctftee of fullness towaiU the Insula
tions that may be nflVrted. It mny not
be necessary to deprive the smaller
hi'ftpltnls and charitable Inntituttons of
state nbl. but It Is not cb-ar how the
governor Is to ruenpe cutting down
pome of the larger grants to the big
(durational Institutions. One of these,
the !,ehigh university, has been given
f 'dn.OOO by the legislature; the tUiivpr
stty of Pennsylvania hns also been
given a large appropriation; and other
Institutions hnv fared well. Of course.
If the new revenue at ts produced the
amount of money which their authors
predicted, there will be a larger income
than was originally estimated by the
state ollUlals; but there Is doubt In
some minds whether these new rev
enue schemes will he an productive ns
was hrd they might be. Put In any
cane these measures will not be opera
tive until next year, and the deficiency
in the treasury cannot be met by cheer
ful calculations.
State Treasurer Haywood Insists that
a mistake was made by the legislature
In not cutting down the appropriation
to the public schools. He holds that this
Is the real trouble, and that there will
be nu Improvement In the revenue sit
uation until some reduction Is made in
the school fund. It has been suggested
that under authority vested In him the
state treasurer can withhold payments
to the st h(. districts a year or two un
til the stringency In the treasury It?
over. Those who made a fight against
the reduction of the school appropiia
tlon, however, say that any such course
upon the pait of the state treasurer
would be a distinct violation of the
pledge given to the house by Speaker
Royer on the day of final adjournment
when he promised that come what
might there would be no cut in the
school appropriation and the state nor
mal K'-houlB would get their usual as
sistance. These say further th it tri
lling with the school districts will react
upon the Republican party, ami that
the state leaders must understand that
the people will resent any interference
jt this kind.
A gnat hullabaloo has been stirred
up among the merchants of the state
by the proposed law Increasing the
mercantile license tax. Today Governor
Hastings had before him a large dele
gation, representing the big and little
merchants In all parts of the common
wealth protesting against his approv.il
yf the bill. They contended that It was
an unfair proposition and in Its fea
tures was Inquisitorial and a menace to
the business interests of the state. This
bill makes the mercantile tax from $7
a year to $12.0"0, according to the vol
ume of business transacted by the mer
chant. It requires him to make a re
turn to the mercantile appraiser ap
pointed by the auditor general and
state treasurer one for each county of
the state except hlladelphla and
Pittsburg, which have five and three,
respectively and should the return be
unsatisfactory, the auditor general is
given power by the bill to compel a
merchant to produee his books and pa
pers. State Treasurer Haywood, In a
long statement, takes the position that
the merchants, as a class, have not
been paying their Just share of the bur
den of taxation, and that this bill is
eminently fair in all its parts. He com
pares the big merchants doing a busi
ness of several millions a year to the
firm, copartnership aud corporation do
ing a much smaller business and pay
ing a tax many times higher. Notwith
standing the opposition to the bill, it
will probably be approved by the gov
ernor. This bill was originally a meas
ure to tax beer, but when it reached the
senate that body transformed It Into a
bill taxing merchants and dealers.
Judge Gunnison, of Erie, came here
Thursday and made a strong argument
before Governor Hastings against the
bill ceding the rights of the state to
regque Is!e, a peninsular piece of
ground extending into Lake Krie, to
thevclty of Erie, on condition that the
government would take similar action.
Judge Gunnison contends that thin bill
would be an Injury In the end, because
It would probably result in the United
States government becoming Indifferent
to the harbor improvements, at Erie.
He also intimated that Presque Isle,
as a public park, the purpose for which
the bill Is alleged to have been Intro
duced, would not be a place of which
the people of Erie would bo proud.
In fact, he threw cold water on the
whole project, and as there Is some
doubt about the constitutionality of
the bill, It Is pretty certain to be ve
toed.
Adputant General Thomas J. Stewart
has made himself exceedingly popular
with the members of the National
Guard by establishing a precedent In
the matter of issuing a special order
announcing promptly the results of the
Inspections of the guard. In this mat
ter he has been assisted by Inspector
General Morrelt, who Insists that the
various subordinate Inspectors shall
make their reports without delay to
headquarters. On Saturday a special
order was Issued containing the ratings
of the various regiments and companies
and also the reports of Inspector Gen
tral Morrell and Rrlgadler Inspectors
Sweeney, Miller and Penny. These fig
ures get into the hands of the guards
men at the summer encampments be
fore they, undergo Inspection and en
able them to discover their weak
points in advance of another inspec
tion. These reports this year Indicate
that the National Guard of Pennsyl
vania was never in better shape.
There was a sensational report a day
or two sgo to the effect that 30 or
40 important bills had failed to reach
the governor after passing the legisla
ture, owlnz to the fact that the pre
siding otrlcer of one of the two houses
had failed to sign the bills. Upon in
vestigation this proved to be without
foundation. A bill appropriating about
$iiJ.0o0 to the Garrett School for Deaf
and Dumb yChildren, Philadelphia, wati
recalled from the governor for amend
ment during the closing rush and never
got back to him. It U difficult to place
the responsibility in such "eB.

Sunday was an especially busy
dijy for the members of the organiza
tion. Many meetings were held, all,
however, being devotional In character,
business aftalrs not interesting the En
deavorcrs on the Habbath.
At the regular morning services of
worship the pulpits of nil the Protes
tant Evangelical churches in the city,
except the Kmanuel Ilaptlst, the scene
of the lMirrant murder, of whteh Rev.
J. O. Gibson Is pastor, were illled by
prominent preachers from all parts of
the world. Mr. Gibson Is a Christian
Endeavorer, yet did not offer his pulpit
to guests of the local societies.
In several Instances overtlow meet
ings were held, that In the extensive
hasenient of the First Congregational
church, addressed by Ilev. W. H. Tem
ple of Seattle, being almost as large as
the gathering in the main auditorium,
where the sermon was preached by the
llev. N. Iioynton of Detroit.
The great gathering of the day was
the afternoon meeting In Mechanics'
pavilion, presided over by President
Clark.
"In the Interest of the Lord's Day"
was the general theme of a series of
eloquent addresses, which rank among
the best of the convention. Thousands
who sought admittance to the audito
rium lingered regretfully in the streets
long after the "no more room" sign was
hung out. The usual song service, con
ducted by Robert Husband of dan
Francisco, was followed by devotional
exorcises, led by the Rev. A. D. Klnsur
of Lyons, la.
"Woman'A Part.'
The first speaker, Miss Matilda Kay
of New York city, had as her subject
"Woman's Part." She spoke particu
larly of the Woman's Nationul Hub
bath alliance, which had Its birth In
New York city two years ago. In con
clusion Mlsa Kay Bpoke of Rosa Hon
heur, of whom Victor Hugo once suld:
"As a creative artist 1 prize her works
above those of all other women, because
she listened to God and not to man."
"May that be said of eveiy woman
here, said 1At! speaker, "that she lis
tened to Goa and remembered tu keep
his day holy."
"Modern Time of Sabbath Observ
ance" wag presented by the Rev. W. H.
Temple of Seattle, who eloqu. ntly dis
cussed the forms of desecration of the
Sabbath, godless rationalism, greed
which Is evidenced In Sabbath Industry
and unsanctitied pleasure. Relative to
the lutter point, he said that In London
actors and actresses had lied for rest on
Sunday because of the degraded type of
audiences on that day.
Following two selections by the uni
formed Policemen's Glee club, the Rev.
Jo!iih Strong spoke of the "Civic Sab
bath." He made distinction between
the divine Subbuth and the human Sab
bath, whic h are unlike In origin, au
thority and character. He urged free
dom from labor on this day of rest, not
only from a physical standpoint, be
cause liberty of rest can only be secured
wr.ere there is a law of rest. He also
deprecated certnln forms of amu.seinent
w hich are dutrlinenta-l to public morals.
The speaker declared finally that the
church and not the state must save the
desecrated seventh duy.
Mam Meeting; Fur Men.
A mass meeting for men only was
held at Woodwurd's pavilion in the aft
ernoon. It was a success In every re
spect, and the sight of thousands of
men. many of them gray bearded, ex
citedly waving their handkerchiefs in
giving the chuutauqua aulule, will long
hi remembered.
After singing by the male chorus, led
by A. A!. Honham, Rev. J. W. Chap
man of Philadelphia spoke of the evil
of dissipation, his remarks being blunt
and erfeciive. It. E. fclwood the Phila
delphia evangelist, rendered "Saved by
His Grace," a solo. Then came a
unique and striking feature of the serv
ice sinking by the Police Choral so
ciety of San Francisco, all the members'
being In full uniform. They rendered
"Throw Out the Lifeline."
A fctrong address was made by Rev.
F. T. Ottmun of Newark, N. J . on "In
ftilellly," and alter several other music
al selections "Murulity" was discussed
In an able maimer by H. J. McCoy of
this city.
A meeting for women, presided over
by Mis. Frances B. Clark of Boston,
was held during the afternoon at the
Fiist Congregational church. Miss
Knit, nine M. Jones of New York spoke
gu "WoUiaus Power," and "Uur He-

and at night those who maniim-d to ob

meeting placed were fortunate, for only
2r,,noo could be accommodated, and 10,
UiiO more nought admlHKt.in.
The moat notable meeting Monday
nap the one at Woodford pavilion, In
lhe afternoon, at which Secretary John
Wlllla Hear of Itoston presided. "Prac
tical Fehool of Christian Kndeavor
Method and Wnyg of Working" wnn
the name given to the proceedings. The
most Interesting feature was a leu
of so called open parliaments d by
Christian Endeavorcrs. They werd con
ducted by the leaders asking for sug
gestions for practical work, whereupon
enlhtislnstn arose In every part of the
hall for a one minute suggestion.
Kstlniutes made by lending hnslnean
men agree that the people brought here
by this great gathering will leave not
less than $1,000,000 in the city. All the
leaders of the movement are pleased
with the success of their efforts and
with the outlook for the future of the
society.
A LULL IN THE STRIKE
IT WAY BE THE PROVERBIAL CALM
BEFORE THE STORM.
Operator In the Flttsbnrg iMstrfrtt Plan
ning a tnnp to Irrfciit the Striking
Miners A Iteprtltlnn of the Wlrkle
Hollow Trsgedy May Jin ltepenrcd.
Pittsburg, July 14 There is a lull In
the miners' strike In this district, at
tributable to the fact that nearly every
mine In the district is idle. To keep up
the enthusiasm and prevent the strikers -
from becoming lukewarm in the cause,
however, the olflelnls have arranged for
a series of meetings In different sections
every day. Meetings have been held at
Running, Fayette City and West New
ton, and at each place resolutions were
adopted not to return to work until the
cilMc-fals gave the order.
A large meeting hns also hvn held at
Snowden, on the Wheeling division, and
the men were tinnnimous in their deter
mination to stand firm for the fi'J cent
rate. The miners on this division fear
that the company will soon begin evic
tions from their houses and Intimate
that If this is attempted there will be
no trouble.
The meeting was addressed by Presi
dent Garland of the Amalgamated as
sociation, Tnomas Grundy of the United
Teamsters. M. P. Carrlck of the Paint
ers and Decorators, and John Kelley of
the United Labor league.
News has reached the miners' head
quarter? that the diggers In the Canned,
Warner and Morgan mines. Heaver
county, have thrown down their picks
and Joined the general strike. The
three pits employ about 300 men. The
stilko has also spread to Mercer county.
Five mines are idle In that region.
They are Ilallvllle, Spear. Ridge and
Diamond mines Nos. 1 and 2. The men
struck for an advance of 10 cents per
ton.
An effort has been made to resume
work at the Eagle mine at Mononga
hela City. It Is a co-operative concern,
hut the sentiment of a majority of the
stockholders was against resumption,
and it was decided to keep th pit closed
until the strike was settled. A delega
tion from Rrownsvllle says the Knob,
rteaumont. Umpire and Albany mines
have closed down, and the miners have
Joined In the general strike, with a de
termination to remain out until the
question of wages is satisfactorily set
tled. President Dolan said a movement
would shortly be made on the mines
above the Pennsylvania railroad that
are still in operation, and a strong ef
fort will he made to bring the men
out. No plajis have yet been arranged
to bring out the men at the three mines
of the New York and Cleveland Gas
Coal company, but Mr. Dolan says they
will receive attention later In the
week.
Ths Calm Ilefore a Ntorin.
The proverbial calm before the storm
Is likely to be exeniplled In the miners'
strike situation here.
It has developed that a number of
the operat va have been quietly plan
ning a coup, which Is expected to bring
dismay to the miners. It Is the inten
tion to at once equip the mines with
machines and do away with a great
many diggers. When the mines are
reudy to start, miners will be Imported
and put to work under heavy guard
and the premises barricaded. With the
co-operation of the other operators J.
A. Reidler of the Webster Gas Coal
company, located on the Monongahela
river, will take the initiative. The op.
erators claim this plan becomes nec
essary liecause the West Virginia peo
ple are gobbling all of their contracts.
It goes without saying that the diggers
will resort to every possible means to
prevent the carrying out of the propos
ed scheme. From present appearances
the Stickle .Hollow tragedy of 1M4,
when seven striking miners were killed,
Is likely to be repeated soon. This
mine is iu the Washington run district
unci has ben reported as closed. The
manage! s deny that It has been closed
for an hour. Thuy are determined to
continue work and have made prepara
tions for trouble.
It was reported at the miners' head
quarters here that 2,0o0 miners in that
district were getting ready to march on
the mine and bring out the 400 men
working there. The attempt is to be
made on Friday or Saturday. This
mine is shipping dully 100 cars and is a
motiacs to the success of the striKe.
A movement is also on foot among
the strikers along the Panhandle to
march to the Boon and Allison mines
and compel the miners there to quit
work. If these threats are carried out,
there will probably be a refetttlon of
the bloody scenes that characterised
the closing days of the strike of 1MH4.
It is probable that Eugene V. Delis
will spend a few days in this district.
The local olllcials are making an ef
fort to have him addiess several meet
ings here before he gjes to West Vtr
giniu.
Pennsylvania's Allen Tax Law.
Philadelphia, July . The new alien
tax luw signed by Governor Hastings
two weehs ago has resulted in an un
usual number of applications by for
eigners for first papers. Over l.sou first
papers have thus far been issued. The
law requires that employers pay a tux
of 3 cents each working day for each
unnaturalized foreigner employed.
Employers generally have determined
to compensate themselves for this out
lay by deducting the amount from the
foreigners' wages. .To this fact is at
tributed the hurry tu become cltlsens.
The exaction of the per diem tax is re
quired until the final papers are taken
out.
