Bat Now Quay Will Not TO Please the
Democratic Leaders.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
BEAVER FALLS, May 1.-Senator. Quay
was interviewed at his home in Beaver re-
gardIng the report that he was about to re-
sign the chairmanship of the National Re-
publican Committee.
AT first he was inclined to say but little
regarding it, but finally, in reply to direct
question, he smilingly replied that he had
not any thought of resignIng, and
that in any event, he would never
retire when under the fire of
the enemy. Some months ago,
he had concluded to resign, in order to
relieve himself of the labor it imposes, and
thus secure more time to devote to his
official and private business, but now he
would not be permitted to take a step that
would, at this time be so gratifying to the
Democratic leaders, as his resignation of
the Craftsmanship of the National Republi-
can Committee.
He said the whole matter was an invention
of the enemy, and the Democratic press
would not accomplish its design to force
him out of the committee.

NEW YORK, May 1.-Techheimer, Rau
q Co., shirt manufacturers, at Broadway
and franklin street, failed to-day and the
sherlf took possession. Blumenstiel &
hirsch entered confessed judgments amount
ing to SS7 ,256 against the firm in favor of
the following creditors: Hanover National
Bank, s34,669; Central National Bank,
S14, S72; Abraham Backer S1o,O31; Alex
Schlussel, S12,777; Hugh McKittrick. of
st. Louis, $14, 9O7. All the judgments are
for borrowed money. The firm is composed
of Sigmund Techheimer and John Rau. In
July, 1889, they were worth S1SS, 900. of
which Si8 900 was in real estate.
Mr.. Blumenstiel said that the liabilities
would probably reach 1915, 1000. of which
500, 900 is Tor borrowed money and accom-
modations, the rest being for merchandise.
The assets were probably $3.50, 900 to S270,
600 in stock accounts and machinery in the
New York City factory. Statements made
by Mr.. Techheimer's son led to rumors that
speculation had been one of the causes of
the failure, but this was denied. Mr.. Raum
said he thought the liabilities would not ex-
ceed 1896, 200; the assets would amount to
S275, 600, and perhaps more.

A RATE WAR PROBABLE.
Owing to n Reduction on FreIehts TO Eastern
Points.

Points.
CHICAGO, May 1.-The railroads operating
between Chicago and the Ohio river have, in
connection with the Chesapeake and Ohio,
reduced the through rate on provision from
Chicago to Newport News to 90 cents per 100
pounds. The rate to that point has been
heretofore q cents, the same as to Baltimore,
against 30-cent rate to New York.
The reduction may cause trouble, as it will
probably be met by the Baltimore and Ohio,
in which case the New York rate will be
pulled down.
