QUAY'S BATTLE FOR LIFE
1t is Raging at Fever Heat at
Harrisburg To-day.
State Committee In Session With the
Purpose OF Getting the Upper
Hand OF Benny GiIkeson.

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 26.-Delegates to
the State convention are pouring into the
city by every train and are are-accompanied
by great numbers of visitors from every
county of the State. Excitement is at fe-
yer heat. Quay'e supporters are furious
at the determination OF Chairman Gilkeson
to make up the list of delegates which is
to vote for or against his reelection, and
resort to the courts is promised. Charges
of bribery and attempted bribery are
fiercely made by both sides. The friends
of Quay and the combine claim a ma jority
for their respective sides, but the truth 10
the contest is SO close that it is probable
not even the caucuses may pfefigure the
result. The convention will be one of the
most exciting ones held in the State and
may end disastroasly for all factions.
When the State cmomittee meets to-day
ex-senator Thomas V. Copper will fill the
chair, made vacant by Gilkeson's non-ap-
pearance. The first thing done Will be the
adoption of u resolution providing for
committee to call upon Chairman Gilk-son.
This body will inform the banking commits
sioner that it is the desire OF the state
pairing the roll and making the arrange
ments for the State convention. lie will
undoubtedly refuse he will be asked to
put his refusal in writing, and that will
be carried back to the committee.
The body is prepared for tile refusal of the
chairman. 1t has secured the advice OF the
best legal talent of the State, and the mater
will at once be. carried into the Dauphin
County Court Senator S. J. II. McCarroil-
OF Harrisburg, will lay the case before the
judges, asking the chairman TO disgorge.
Congressman Robinson thinks it Is probable
that the combine viii carry the matter tothe
Supreme Court il the decision goes against
il, but the gentleman from Media says the
ruling OF the lower. court will stand for the
time being, and 1t will not interfere with the
State convention
II was asked 10 preside over the COM
mittee," said Mr. Robinson, but / want
Mr Cooper to take the temporary Chairman
ship / desire 10 be on the Euor so j can
say what / have on the subject. Sena-
tor Quay has been advised of our conrse
and he thinks the power of the Committee
is supreme and that we have a right to
go into court 10 compel Gilkeson TO deliver
up his books il lie refus to do so. The
courts and election laws control primary
elections and State conventions. l think
We should adopt strict rules for the gov
ernment of STATE le-conventions. An example
should be made of the three Northumber-
land county delegates, no matter haw they
vote. A county convention has 10 right
to give a man the right to appoint dele

The Russian workman spends very little
for food, lodging ard dress as compared
with the foreign artisan. His food is very
simple, but it is abundant ard answers to
his taste. In Moscow, for example, the
board of workman amounts to not more
than 10 shilhngs per month In order to
reduce the cost ofhving, the workmen form
associations or clubs, called 'artels," and
board altogether An artel is generally
formed from the same village or district, or
of the same factory section; they choose a
chief 10 arrange the affairs of the club. and
have several members authorized to control
the chief, called the ''starosta." The
latter buy provisions, engage the cook, keep
the accounts and calculate what each mem
her of the artel has TO pay. The accounts
are then presented to the administration of
the factory, WHO pays them out of the earn
iDgs OF the woTkmen. The administration
furnishes the artel with kitchen fuel, water
ard an eating-room free, costing the factory
about 2 copecks per workman Owing to
such organizations, the workmen receive
cheap and good food. The boarding eN-
penses are not, of course, uniform, and
depend largely upon the earnings of the
workmen forming the artel TAereare work

turn over on one side, with a portion of his
body out of the water, and would scoop
the fish in with his mouth. Then he would
make rush through the water and part it
just like a tugboat.
The men who had hired the boat and had
expected to catch a good quantity of fish
