Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Washington, Jan. 15.-Announcement
Is officially made through the medium
of friendly Pittsburg paper, the Com
mercial-Ga2ette, that the attempts OF
ciliation between Senator Quay and
David Martin have failed. After care
fully considering the situation and re-
cciVing reports from his friends
throughout the state, Senator Quay
sent this brief but emphatic message to
to the would-be peacemakers:
There can be no reconciliation be-
tween Mr. Martin and myself. Having
betrayed me once, | could never re-
pose any trust in him again.
And this is the message that r. r.
Quay also bore to Philadelphia yester-
day to Senator Penrose, Magistrate
Durham and the other Quay leaders in
that city. 1t was the senator's ulti-
matum and was not issued until he had
given it five days careful considera-
tion. And from now on he intends to
work vigorously until he has unhorsed
Mr.. Martin and given the leadership in
that city to some one who can be
trusted.
In fact, the contest is now on in Phil
adelphia; the first test of strength will
be over the organization of the city
committee. The loyal followers of the
junior senator have been placed in
control of his forces in each of the
wards in the city where the present
leader has followed the banner of Mr..
Martin. The main test of strength will
come over the election of delegates 10
the next state convention. Primaries
will be held in all the wards, and the
QUAY men seem confident of securing a
decided victory.
Quay Is for Warwick.
But the contest between Mr.. Martin
is not to be allowed ito endanger the
chances for the election of Mr.. War
wick to be mayor. After careful in
vestigation Senator Quay and his
| friends have become satisfied that Mr..
Warwick had no hand in his betrayal
| by Mr.. Martin. on the contrary, they
are confident that Mr.. Warwick was
| only selected for ,the nomination after
Mr.. Martin and the combine found 'that
| they could not nominate Graham
| Therefore Senator Penrose and Magis
| trat Durham are ito see TO 81 that Mr.
| Warwick loses no votes from the Quay
| element. In return for this Warwicli
| has been asked not to allow the pat
rOpage of his Office to be used solely T.
keep Mr.. Martin in control. a strict
neutrality Of his employees in the COM
ing Quay-Martln contests is all thai
Senator quay desires. and it is hinted
that Mr.. Warwick has promised to en-
force an obedience to it.
one of the queer features of this con
troversy is Mr.. Martins action. While
disavowing any intentions to betray
/ Senator Quay and insisting that tn,
senator would approve of his Martins s
course when he knew all the facts, Mr.
Martin has made no attempt to revea
all the facts to the senator, and further
more has made no direct attempt to eff
feet a reconciliation. Senator Quay ad
mlts that he has received mo message
either verbal or written, from his for
mer right-bOwer and this naturally
made him more certain that Mr.. Mar

The general impression here today l.
that with "a free field and no favor tn,

ployes keep hands off.
