HARRISBURG, Pa, June 25.-Thc con-
vcntion of the Pennsylvania republicans
has been declared open by the chairman
of the executive committee and the pre-
lin,inary organization has been perfected,
II now remains to follow out the pro-
gram as carefully planned by Mr.. Quay.
There seems to be no doubt OF the nomi-
nation of Senator Dclcmatcr for gov
ernor, and the absence of { christopher l..
Magcc, of Allegheny county, leads to the
impression that q bolt from the prospect
i've party nomination is imminent. Ph'l-
adclphia's legislation will cast a compl'-
mcntary vote for General Hastings TINS
afternoon, but will 20 to Dclcmatcr IN
the formalballot. Allegheny county vii
probably vote for Ncmtooth throughout
One Of the delegation asserts that Dele
matters nomination means the loss q
Alleghany county to the republicans. Or
the other hand the majority of rcpubi
cans here are determined to vindicat'
Quay by the nomination of his choice
Senator Delcmatcr.
Attorney Graham, of Philadelphia,

be injured. The Midvale steel works sell
steel tires for 2la cents a pound. The
Mckinley bill proposes to add this addi'
tional tariff to the price Of steel. This in
crcascs the price Of our material and will
prevent my company from competing
with foreign steel manufacturers.

A German syndicate has recently been
engaged in preparing to undertake the
clearing of the Danube waterway by
blowing up the iron gates. By interna-
tional agreement 1t was settled Mt the
time of the treaty of Berlin that when

quarries on the banks to whatever COM
pany was charged with the work at n
nominal valuation. Several hundreds
Of Thousands Of cubic meters of stone are
needed in order safely to divert the course
of the stream during mining and blast
ing operations.
Upon arriving ut Belgrade, however,
the German representative found that
the government had anticipated him by
hastily putting up all the riparian quar-
ries to auction in numerous small lots,
and knocking them down to their radi-
cal friends. Consequently the company,
instead of having TO deal with the
crown, finds itself face to face with n
warm of individual proprietors, each of
whose claims will have to be settled
separately. 1t is believed that the
strongest representations will be made
to quash the recent auctions, and the
company will probably be backed by
most European representatives Cor.
