A Conference Called to Devise
Ways and Means to Defeat
Rutan's Ambitions.
NEW CANDIDATES ARE EXPECTED.
frank Case Returns From Washington and
Thinks He Will Soon Be Signing
His Name as Collector
He is VERY SURE wARMCASTLE WILL GO,
Bat Believes That He Should Be Permitted to
Formally Resign if He Wants to-

Senator QUAY telegraphed p ittsburg par
ties Yesterday that he would be at the Sew
enth Avenue Hotel to-day to consult with
MS political friends. Collector Warmcas-
ties troubles will be considered, but the
most important question will be what
means it is possible to adopt to knock out
Senator Rutan. Senator Quay has given
instructions to his friends in Allegheny
county that Rutan must be sidetracked in
order 10 keep him from leading the Dalzell
forces IN the next Legislature.
The Quay people have been convinced
by recent developments that Mr. Rutan
will engineer Congressman Dalzell's cam
paiCn to succeed Senator Quay. With the
Federal patronage in Western Pennsyl-
vania in the hands of Mr.. Dalzell and
Rutan to handle it, the friends of Mr.. Quay
see danger ahead, and in order to avert it
the most convenient method is to choke off
Mr. Rutan's new political lifa.
AChange of Candidates.
Mr. Marshall and Mr.. Mcdonald are be-
lieved to be the Quay candidates in the
weak ii is probable one or both of them
will be ont of it, and others who have not
been identified with politics, but in whom
confidence can be placed, will be run on the
uon-polltical platform and with the same
arguments that were so successful in the
last State election. 1t is believed that
Rutan's running mate will be Mr.. Cruik-
shank, who is strong politically, but against
whom the crv can be made, as against Mr..
Rutan. that he is a politician.
Allegheny is believed to be in reform
suirit at present. and it will be the ef-
fort Of the Quay people to take ad-
vantage of this by bringing forward citi-
zen candidates who have never been in the
school of politics, but who, on the quiet,
will be very willing TO learn.
Case Thinks He Will Be Collector.
Frank Case returned from Washington
Yesterday hopeful that he will succeed Col
lector Warmcastle, and consistently stick
ing 10 the claim that his visit to the capital
was of a private nature.

short time. " he said in reply to question,
"and the rest of my time was spcEt in visit
ing a sick brother"
There is no doubt that Mr.. Warmcastle
will have to goo" he was asked.
4 cannot see any other course that the
Government could pursue" was the an
Swer "As ii seems now, it is only ques-
tian of whether the Collector will be al
lowed to resign or whether he will be 1e-
moved. For my own part, 1 think he
should be given the privilege of resigning.
although in view of the publication of all
the details. l cannot sec what advantage
that would give Mr.. Warmcastle. The
Government is very severe in its action,
aud LAYS down rules that must be followed
10 the letter
"Will Mr. Dalzell he candidate for the
United States Senate?"
''Tha, is being considered. replied Mr..
Case, with smile which indicated that the
matter had already been finally settled.
''You are, then, a candidate for the Collsc-
torship?'
Ny papers are on file at Washington"
