States Senator Matthew Stanley Quay,Chairman of the Bepublican State Com-

mittee "WiUiam H. Andrews, Collector ofInternal Revenue and Quay's Philadelphialieutenant, David Martin, and Frank"Willing Leach, Secretary of the Bepub-

lican State Committee and Quay's privatesecretary, behind a handsome span of fine

- black horses, seated in an open barouche,left the Continental Hotel early this morn- -

' ing. They were driven out to Indian Bock,along the banks of the "Wissahickonwhere,after a catfish-and-waffl- breakfast, theconference which closed at midnight onSaturday was renewed.

The junior Senator and his party dis-

cussed the arrangements for the comingState convention, and while a number ofnames were gone over as

PBOPEB rZKSONS to actas temporary and permanent chairman ofthe convention, it was not finally decidedwho would be chosen, although it wasthought late ht that Walter Lyon, ofAllegheny, would be named as the tem-

porary presiding officer of the convention."Xijon wSa first selected- - to second thnomination of Henry K. Boyer for StateTreasurer, and it may be yet that the orig-

inal arrangement will hold good, and thetemporary chairman be named from some

one of the interior counties.Two drafts of a party platform were sub-

mitted to Senator 'Quay for his approval,but he has not yet given assent to either,andwhen spoken to regarding the prob-able actionof the convention, Senator Quaysaid:

"WAS IGNORANT AS USUAL.

"I can't say who will be the officers of theconvention; nor can I tell you what theplatform is going to be. I have every con-

fidence in the delegates who will be in at-

tendance at the convention, and I guesseverything will be carried out for the bestinterests of the party. The convention willniame its officers, nominate its candidatesand make its platform."

ft This evening there was a large number ofvisitors to Senator Quay's room, all ofwhom had a little mission. The most promi-nent, in a political sense, was James

who came in from Devon and calledon Senator Quay about 9 o'clock, just asCollector Martin and Hamilton Disston hadleft the Senatorial presence.

NOTHING TO SAT IN PEINT.The Senator and Mr. McManes had a pri-

vate talk in room 2, while the other promi-nent callers whilcd away the time in room LThe talk was brief, and after its finish bothparties declined to talc Mr. McManes,when asked the result of the interview, con-

tented himself by remarking: "I havenothing to say for publication." SenatorQuay was equally reticent, but neither, dis-

played the pleasant feelings which charac-terized their utterance, "There was noblood shed," following the previous consul-tation.

The next important caller was "WilliamFlinn, of Pittsburg, who is recognized asChris L. Magee's Allegheny lieutenant.Senator Quay and Flinn held converse atPittsburg last week, and Flinn, who was onhis way to Atlantic City with "Walter Lyon,Quay's lieutenant, stopped long enough toshake hands with the junior Senator andwhisper some important secrets.

A POLITICAL BLUNDER.

The President DIakes a Pretty Bless of Affairs In Two Appointments la Louis-

iana Another Accession toDrawer's Bolt Possible.

rSFXCUl. TXX.XOBAX TO TUX DIBFATCB.1

Washington, August 4. The Presi-dent has made a pretty mess of affairs inLouisiana in the appointment of

"Warmouth to be Collector of the Portat New Orleans, and of John Patty, colored,to be naval officer. Harrison's usual timid-ity and his penchant for refusing to decidebetween rivals has led him into a great po-

litical blunder. There were two strongcandidates for Collector, ChairmanHerwig, of the State Committee,and Major Hero, who was supported byColeman, the lone Bepublican Congress-man from Louisiana. Herwig is the Louis-iana lottery man who has been keeping theBepublican party of his State alive duringthe last 10 or 12 years by his contributionsto the campaign funds. "When he left"Washington a few days ago it was with thepromise that nothing should be done aboutthe New Orleans offices prior to the cam-

paign for Congressman in the Third Louis-

iana District, wherein the Bepublican can-

didate will be nominatedX

MONEY THBOWN AWAY.Herwig announced his willingness to

spend 20,000 to secure the election of hisfriend, Darral. Nowcomes the announcement of "Warmonth'sappointment to the Collectorship, just asHerwig Is paying out the last dollar for del-

egates in Bisfriends here say he has been shamefullyplayed upon, and that he will be more thanhuman if he does not suffer the election inthat district to goby default.

The President has set his heart on havinganother Republican Congressman fromLouisiana, but in thus abandoning Herwigon the very eve of the canvass, he is show-

ing how little he knows about the game ofpolitics.

A STitlNG TIED TO IT.It is understood the President has a string

tied to "Warmouth's appointment, for whichthe papers have not been yet made out."Warmouth has pledged himself to carry theThird district vacancy. And if he succeedsin fulfilling his promise he will get theCollectorship. Herwig thought he hadmade precisely the same bargain, bnt thePresident repudiated at the very last mo-ment because Herwig is connected with theLouisiana lottery.

"Warmouth's candidate for Congress is H.C. Minor, who has taken the lead in Louis-iana in the white man's Bepublican partymovement. As the district has 4,000 negromajority it is not easy to see how Minor'snomination could brighten the Bepnblicanprospects.

Tbe negro leaders of the State, Pinchbackand Lewis, are already up in arms over tbeappointment of Patty, and there seems to be

THE BEST OF SEASONSwhy Kellogg should say, ashe does, that "in these Louisiana appoint-ments the President has just made a snot inthe brush to see what he could hit." Kel-logg adds that he is afraid that the"Presi-den- t

has given the. Third district Congress-man to the Democrats, thouchof course Re-publicans can carry it if they can raiseenough money. At the same time, Con-gressman Coleman is bitterly disappointed,and the independent movement of SouthernRepublicans for the purpose of controllingthe organization of the House is likely toreceive an accession from Louisiana.

Coleman, though elected as a Bepublican,is, and has always been, a Democrat, turn-ing Republican simply to help preserve thetariff on sugar. Now that the Presidenthas

CONCLUDED TO SNUB COLEMAN

in the appointment of a Federal officer inhis own home, the Congressman may, in re-

taliation, veer a little toward Democracybefore snow flies.

"Warmouth, who, as Collector of the Port,will resume his old place as dictator of theparty in Louisiana, is an Illinois man whofound himself in New Orleans after thewar as provost marshal under military rule.He owns what is probably the finest planta-tion in America, on a bayou of the Missis-sippi, about 100 miles from New Orleans;7,000 acres of rich lands are under cultiva-tion, and aM dozen or more, sugar housesturn out an immense production every year.

The house in which "Warmouth lives isdescribed as an American palace. Thisproperty was inherited by his wife, whosefamily are all Democrats. Mrs. "War-mont-

five young sons, she declares, she isrearing to De good .Democrats nee theirgrandfather.

The Fight For and Against Afabett WaxingTery Warm.

rSPXCXlX. TZXEOBAU TO TUX DISPATCH.1

Tbenton, N. J., August 4. The fightfor the Democratio gubernatorial nomina-tion is growing very warm. Leon Abbettis marshaling his forces in every school dis-

trict in the 21 counties in the State, andwith his usual asserts thathe will win the battle. To be successful hewill have to wrest the nomination for Gov-ernor from Edward C. "Young, of JerseyCity, who, according to common report, hasbeen led into the field by Senator McPher-so-n.

Young has no State reputation as apolitician, but he has done clever work forhis party in Hudson county, and with thebacking of Senator McPherson will makeit lively indeed for Abbett It is statedthat Miles Ross, the famous political slug-ger of Middlesex county, is enlisted in thebattle on McFherson's side, and Nels. Pid-coc- k,

the boss or the Fourth Congressionaldistrict, will fight with the boys on Ab-bet- t's

side. If this is true neither factionwill be in a position after the battle to com-plain of badzgeneralship.

General Blodgett, who defeated Abbettfor Senator two years ago, is now an ut

supporter of him for the Governor-ship. The next Governor will have thedispensing of an immense amount of impor-tant patronage, and if Abbett gets in con-trol again it is considered certain that hewill be the next United States Senator.

The British sealer Black Diamond,

captured by trie? United States revenue

cutter. Bush, has escape1. A sailor was

riut on board to take her to Sitka, but his

orders were disobeyed, and the vessel was

run to Victoria. Assistant Secretary of

State "Wharton is much surprised by the

news.

israelii. TxxxoaAK to nix czsrATCfl.lVlCTOBIA, B. G., August 4. A thrill of

exultation swept over this city last eveningwhen the British sealer, Black Diamond,recently seized by the United States revenuecutter Bush sailed proudly into harbor,with British colors flying gaily from hermasthea d. Cheer after cheer rang along thewater front, and the news flew over ibe:ity,causing great excitement Captain Thomascame ashore at once and was congratulatedon all sides.

He reported that Lieutenant TutOe, threeofficers and two boat crews boarded himfrom the American cutter Bush on the 11thof July. He sighted the Bush five milesaway and immediately made sail, but wasoverhauled in an hour's time. He kept onhis way. After three times ordering him tolay-t-o the Bush steamed across his bows

and compelled him to do so. LieutenantTuttle told him he was under seizure anddemanded hts papers. These CaptainThomas refused to give. After repeated re-

fusals Lieutenant Tuttle ordered the lockerbroken open and took charge of the papers.

GOT SOME GOODS, ANYHOW.

"Lieutenant Tuttle then," continuedCaptain Thomas, "left the Black Diamond,taking with him our papers, 105 seal skins,10 bags of salt and an assortment of Indianspears. An American bluejacket was thenplaced aboard and given written instruc-

tions to take the schooner to Sitka and de-

liver her over to the collector. The cap-

tain and mate were to be detained and thecrew set at liberty."

The Bush then steamed away and Captain Thomas took the vessel to OunalaskaHarbor to see if the English war vesselswere there, passing the Bush four daysafter the seizure, bat he was not hailed byher. Finding no protection at Ounalaska,he sailed out of Behring Sea on to Vic-

toria, arriving here last evening. JohnHawkins, the "prize crew" of one placedaboard the Black Diamond, says he waswell treated by the schooner's crew. Heimmediately reported .the facts to the UnitedStates Consulate here and handed in his in-

structions. The matter has been wired to"Washington.- - ' ,

Captain Thomas says he plainly told theLieutenant commanding the Bush that he

jronld .no jkj jta Sjtka, and unless Toi Tu is his wife,crew were place 'aboard his vessel ""would ) vmake sail for British waters. Everybodyhere is delighted with his conduct. It isthought it will bring about a speedy settle-ment of the whole trouble. Mr. Hammley,Collector of Customs here, said that he is ofthe opinion that when Hawkins was putaboard the Black Diamond the people onthe Rush did not care whether she came toVictoria or not, as long as she got out ofthe sea and stopped destroying seals.

CALLS IT BEHABKABLE.

A "Washington dispatch says: "It is a re-markable story, a very remarkable story,"was the verdict of Assistant Secretary ofState "Wharton, when he was seen to-d- bythe reporter of The Dispatch, in regardto the alleged recapture of the Black Dia-mond, and hsr safe landing in British wa-ters at Victoria. Mr. "Wharton had not pre-viously heard of the story, which runs thatthe officer who was placed in charge of theBlack Diamond by the commander of theBush, with orders to take her to Sitka, wasignored as soon as the Rush was out of sight,and the Captain of the Black Diamond thenchanged her course and brought her to Vic-toria.

"No information of this proceeding hasyet reached the State Department, but itmay be as is stated, nevertheless," con-tinued Mr. "Wharton. "What would bedone in case it is true? "Well, I must con-fess I do not know. It would probablycomplicate things still more, but so far as theofficers of the Black Diamond are concerned,I suppose there is no international law thatwould make it a capital crime for the com-mander and men of a captured vessel tore-captu- re

the craft if they can. I presumehe ought to be held responsible for the safe-ty of the officer of the Bush, but until I hearjiore about the story I prefer not to speakfurther of the matter.

CANADIANS SATISFIED.

As he'spoke he drew a revolverfrom his pocket and peered intothe smoking compartment of the carwhere Burke was with Officers Collins andBroderick, but before he had time to distin-guish the faces in the compartment.

Notwith-standing his air of bravado he is badlyfrightened. He" believes that if heeats with the officers they woulddrug him.

not vest dangebous."I guess they wont bother us," remarked

one of the robbers, and satisfied that no re-

sistance would be offered, thev commencedtheir work of plunder. One man "wentthrough" the passengers, one by one, whilethe other, with his revolver in his extendedarm, kept a watchful looK out for signs ofopposition. In this way the plunderer se-

cured all the booty he could in his haste,and when it was all over, and the robbershad escaped, the passengers found they hadbeen relieved of 5175 in cash and two goldwatches.

The "Wabash "Western train left KansasCity at 820 o'clock last night It was com-posed of the baggage, express and smokingcars, and one day coach, two Mann bondoircars and one Pullman car. The latter carwas the St Paul sleeper, where the robberscommenced their work. When the trainreached the Missouri river bridge two menwere seen to get off the forward end of thebaggage car and disappear behind a lumberpUe. The train hands thought they weretramps who hs,d stolen a ride from KansasCity and paid no attention to the event.They are convinced now that they were therobbers, and that they caught the rear endof the lass sleeper as it passed the lumberpile.

A BOLD PAIS.Justas the train pulled out of Harlem the

robbers entered the car and went throughthe passengers B3 described. It was evi-dently their intention to rob the passengersin all the coaches, "working" tbe trainfrom the rear, for as they left the St Paulsleeper they again cautioned its occupantsto not give the alarm under penalty of be-

ing shot by "the man on the platform."Leaving the St. Paul coach, they started

for the nexttpne ahead. On the platformthey met tbe conductor of the train, JohnRoach. One of the robbers pushed his re-volver under the conductor's nose, andwith an oath, ordered him to hold up hishands. The conductor supposed from thenature of their disguise that a number ofrailroad men who had taken passage on thetrain were playing a practical joke on him,and with a laugh he attempted to pnsh pastthem and enter the sleeper.

Just then a gust of wind swept aside themasks of the robbers and then he knew thatthe affair was one of dead earnest He hadno weapon but he carried his lantern in hishand and he dealt one of the men a viciousblow on the head, smashing the lantern'sglass and extinguishing the light Simul-taneously with his assault the other robberfired a snot at him from his revolver.

A little wild shooting.The aim was bad, and the bullet missed

its mark. The first robber had by this timerecovered himself and he too took a shot atthe conductor. His aim was no more pre-cise than his partner's. The robbers then,with oae parting shot, swung off from thesteps of the car. As they did so, the con-ductor hurled his lantern alter them deter-mined to have the "last tag" on them.

The train was running at the rate of 25miles an hour too fast for anyone, exceptunder desperate chances, to jump off with-out risking his life, and Conductor Roachdid not attempt it. He swung out beyondthe side of the car, however, and saw therobbers arise and make with all haste forthe dirt road that leads to Kansas City.That was the last seen of them.

In the meantime the passengers in the St.Paul coach had been so completely terror-ized that they did not regain their sensesuntil they heard tbe tiring on the platiorm.Then one of them pulled the cord that con-nects with the airbrake and the train cameto a standstill. By this time the train hadrun a mile beyond the place where the rob-bers had escaped.

was a passenger in the smoking car. Whenthe train came to a full stop he rushed outto ascertain the cause. Learning from theconductor the occurrence of the robbery, heimmediately set to work to begin the chasefor the robbers. He ordered the engineer torun the train to Randolph, a few milesahead, and there he uncoupled the engineand ran it back to Harlem.

There he found Deputy Sheriff Tomlin-so- n.

Guards were stationed at the approachesof the bridge to prevent the robbers' en-trance into Kansas City, and two posseswere organized to scour the country for thefugitives. Special Agent Tomlinson thenwalked back to Kansas City, arriving thereat 2:30 o'clock this morning, and reportedthe case to the police, who are keepinsr alookout in the city for the road agents. Thepolice of the neighboring towns have alsobeen asked to arrest anyone answering thedescription of the robbers.

The robbers are described as rather youth-ful, not over 20 or 23 years of age, of slightbuild and dressed something like farmer'sboys.

A Berers Criticism on tbe Panel of Jorors Drawa taTry TeldelL

Yeldell, alias Flemon, has been takenback to Edgefield, and his trial is expectedto begin y. Deputy Strom says he wasoffered bribes in Pittsburg to allow his pris-

oner to escape.

rSrXCIAI. TILEOKAM TO TBX DISPATCH.

Columbia, S. C, August 4. Yeldell, incharge of Deputies Strom and Lyon, wastaken to Edgefield on the early train thismorning. Court opens thereJudge Pressley, who will preside at thoterm; State's Solicitor Nelson, OfficialStenographer McFeat and Colonel Echolswent on the same train.

Colonel Echols had an interview yester-

day with Governor Richardson and-- State'sSolicitor Nelson. He says that he has be-

come the attorney for Yeldell, after consul-atio- n

with Governor Beaver, in order thathe may, upon his return to Pittsburg, as-

sure, with personal knowledge, the friendsand supporters of Yeldell that he has re-

ceived proper treatment and a fair trial.He has no fears of violence in Edgefield.Yeldell will also have Mr. "W. C Benet todefend him, and, with such men as counsel,he will be far better off than many a whitecriminal.

A tale wrnr yeldell."When your correspondent sought to inter-

view Yeldell yesterday evening he an-

nounced that by advice of his counsel, Colo-

nel Echols, he must decline to talk. Aftersome persuasion, however, he consented toanswer a few questions. He stated thatwhen he fled from Edgefield in 1884, he re-

mained in South Carolina for tome time,and that he had preached right here in Co-

lumbia. He had traveled around a gooddeal and had been back to the State severaltimes. He said that he was in Edgefieldwhen Josh and 'Lige Briggs were in thejail there previous to their triaL He hadmade some money in Pittsburg by keepinga candy shop, and had retained ColonelJohn W. Echols, the Hon. "W. C. Benet, of.Abbeyville. and Arthur E. Tompkins, ofEdgefield, as his counsel.

HE STILL HAS HOPES.

"Do you expect to be acquitted?"""Well, I'm trusting."""What name do you go by now?""Ask my lawyer.""Is it Yeldell or Flemon?"The prisoner wonld not answer this ques--

.tion, and was then asked how "Flemon" ispronoanced, to which he replied:

"Well, I suppose you put the stress onthe'O."

Deputy Strom gave an interesting accountof his visit to Pittsburg and his various ex-

periences there. He said that various bribeshad been offered him to allow the pris-oner to be rescued. The plan proposedwas that a party of armed menshould meet him at some station not farfrom Pittsburg, and after a seemingly hardfight he should surrender the prisoner. Thefirst bribe offered him was by a man whoapproached him in the hall "of a militarycompany about 10 o'clock on the 19th ofJuly and tendered him $500 as the repre-sentative of a number ot Yeldell's friends.A deputy sheriff also met him in the CourtHouse and offered to add 5200 to what hadalready been offered.

THE BRIBE BEFUSED.

To these advances Strom replied that 70times $700 would be no inducement to himto violate his honor. On the same nightthat he was offered the $500 an attempt wasmade to break into his room. The man wascaught by the proprietor of the hotel andmade to leave. From the description givenof the man, Strom believes that he was thesame deputy sheriff that offered him thebribe of $200.

Strom says that he was never better treat-ed in his life than he was by the whole policeforce in Pittsburg.

The trip from Pittsburg to Columbia waswithout incident Detectives Fitzgeraldand Dennison, of Pittsburg, accompaniedthe party as far as Washington. At eachstation where the train stopped a crowd ofnegroes was present, but the two Pittsburgofficers prevented any of them from enteringthe car. When Washington was reachedit was thought that all danger was over andthe Pittsburg detectives returned home.
