CAMERON BEHIND QUAY.
This Is the Real Secret OF the prcsen,
Fight Against the State Administration
and Colonel GiIkcsOu.

''hiladel, hia, July 9.-.Political W
fare within great body of thinking
men such as compose the Republican
party OF Pennsylvania, Is deplorab!e at
all times; but when war does break out,
Justii1able reason must and will be
required by the people. The Republi-
can party has had war forced upon It.
Old lines are being obliterated and life
long political associates and workers
are In arms against each other.
What IS the issue? Cameronism.
This is the story in its smallest COM
pass. 1t Is the outbreak OF storm
that has been gathering for years in
this state, and disguise it as they will
Senator Quay's friends have been COM
PEELED to admit that such is the fact. 1t
Is the money of ]. Donald Cameron
that is furnishing sinaws of war for the
men who today are fighting the admin
istration of Governor Hastings
Behind them in this contest which
Senator Quay and ex-State Chairman
Andrews are waging, stands the form
Of United States Senator Cameron. No
true-hearted Republican in the state
will deny that the senior senator has
for years misrepresented the state. Not
only has he not been in sympathy
with Republicanism, as shown by his
vote in the senate on the federal cleo
tions bill. but he has given the prestige
Of his name. and that of the great and
of his name and that of the great and
movements which are as unusual as
they are unpopular.
Senator Quay desires to secure con-
ttol Of the state machinery by being
made its chairman for the purpose of
once more forcing upon the people the
election Of Senator Cameron, "the silent
man of the United States senate" Be
sides, he has dictated to the Republi-
cans of Pennsylvania so long that the
idea of younger men coming into poll
tics who will not bow the knee to him
Is exceedingly distasteful. He Is now
making the fight Of his life for him
self. and for ]. Donald Cameron. The
question now is. shall Cameron sue
ceed himself and shall Senator Quay
continue to exercise a dictatorial pol
icy in the councils of the Republican
party in this state.

THAT ALLEGED DEAL.
Tho Quay. Cameron Managers RcsOrting
to Political Fakes TO Deceive the

to Political Fakes to Deceive the
People.
Philadelphia. July 9.-In the stun
sent out through the state from the
Quay literary bureau to those newspa-
pers that still adhere to the junior sena-
tors failing fortunes one statement
finds conspicuous place. It's absurd
falsity plainly shows the desperate
straits to which Senator Quay finds
himself reduced IN his hopeless and un-
necessary fight against the state ad-
ministration and Republican party. 1t
is the proverbial straw at which the
drowning man catches.
This statement is to the effect that
the administration fight is based upon
great political deal. to which Cover
nor Hastings, Senator Cameron AMI
Mayor Warwick, of Philadelphia. are
parties, each to receive his part of the
spoils of victory, that which goes to
Senator Cameron being a reelection to
the United States senate. This. coming
from Senator Quay. is SO ridiculous as
to be almost pathetic 1t shows that he
sees certain defeat staring him in the
face. and is fast becoming reckless.
Every one who knows anything of the
Inside history of the recent struggle
knows that 1t is being fought in Senator
Cameron's interest. To his political for
tunes Senator Quay is tied by bonds ne
could not break If he would. He Is for
Senator Cameron for senator, and,
what is more, he Is for Senator Cam
eron for Pennsylvania candidate for
president. He has. within less than a
month, written letter in which he
says that "if Pennsylvania has a candi-
date for president it would be Senator
Cameron" In private and public con-
versa ton, while at Harrisburg fighting
apportionment, he stated that he op-
posed a reapportionment OF the state
because 1t would not be to Senator
Cameron's interest to have 1t done.
This was no secret. Neither Is ad-
herence to Senator Cameron a secret
now.
Cameron In the Background.
Senator Cameron Is being wisely kept
in the background in this contest. No
one hears a word from him. He does
not figure in 1t.
In fact, 1t Is serious question
whether fifty Republicans opt Of the
500. 900 in the state he has reresented In
the senate for the past eighteen years
could tell whether he Is now within its
boundaries or in South Carolina. But
he Is io the fight just the same. From
him come the sinews of war with which
the flght-called fight for Senator
Quay's vindication, but In reality one
for CamerOn's re-election--is being
loudly waged. Senator Cameron Is
shrewd enough to see that he Is in the
same boat with Senator Quay. He saw
this during the senate fight over the
resolution to Lexow Philadelphia when
he said, Quay has got to win this
fight. If he is licked my name is Dem
MIS-" He knows now that Senator
Quay's defeat In this struggle Is his de-
feat too. and though carefully kept be-
hind the scenes he Is on hand at the
cash box. 1t must be humiliating to
him. though, to know that those who
| are fighting his battles are endea voring
to make the people believe that ne Is
really In league with his opponents.

NO CHANGE IN PRICES.
Coal Sales Agents Havo Adjourned to

New York, July 9.--The anthracite
coal sales agents have adjourned until
July 30. The meeting was short, and
there was no change made in prices,
The production arranged at the last
meeting, rs per cent. of the output OF
June, 1895. will stand.
The meeting today, while not produc-
tive of any changes in the coal trade
policy for q month, was regarded as
necessary to take further action In the
matter OF restrictions fop July. Produc-
ton. it was shown. is within the limits
prescribed. 1t was thought by some
that the failure to take action on prices
was due to the wish Of capitalists, who
are arranging for rehabilitation of the
industry. the argument being that the
time for such action is not ripe and
might upset negotiations.

IN THE FIGHT TO WIN.
Christopher l.. Magee's Wow Of the Situ
tiOn 10 Date.

Philadelphia. July &C. L. Magee. Of
Pittsburg. who Is opposing Senator
Quay in the Republican contest in this
state. left Philadelphia tonight for
Harrisburg. where he will meet Cover
nor Hastings. Mr.. Magee said today:
There Is a good deal Of talk about
confidence on the part of the Hastings
people, but when we say that we are
going to win, we mean It, because our
calculations are made on q most con-
servatlve basis. The character Of the
attacks made on the administration by
the Quay newspapers, backed by the
Democratic organs. Is having. It's effect
on thinking Republicans. and the senti-
ment awakened Is In favor Of the ad-
ministration."

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Harrisburg. Pa, July 9.-The Sertil-
izer manufacturers doing business In
Pennsylvania will save about $500
year at the expense OF the state col
lege by the surreptitious elimination Of
a clause In a bill passed by the recent
Legislature and approved by Governor
Hastings. The act Of June 2S. 1879, re-
quires manufacturers of fertilizers to
take out licenses and file an affidavit
of sales with the secretary Of the COM
monwealth. An analysis of each brand
of fertilizers Is filed with the secretary
Of agriculture. and the license fee paid
to the state treasurer. This arrange
ment caused much confusion, and In
order to simply the matter Secretary
the time for taking out the licenses
from Aug. to Jan. l, and providing
that all papers should Issue from and be
filed in the department Of agriculture.
When the bill was under consldera-
ton In the house of representatives on
second reading. an officer Of the state
college used his influence to have in
serted a proviso that the certificates
could only be extended after the pay
ment OF one-third of the license fees
of the previous year. This was done
because the college receives the H.
cense fees for making the analysis Of
samples of fertilizers furnished by the
department of agriculture, and " the
licenses were extended as was at first
proposed. without any additional fees,
the institution would lose about $500
per year.
The State College PrOvisO.
The act was sent to committee OF
conference to eliminate some objection.
able features and was reported with
the State College proviso all right, but
In some manner the prOviso was taken
out of the bill before 1t reached the
governor, and as result the college
loses $500 and the manufacturers gain
that amount.
The college officials are anxious to
know how, when and where the proviso
was dropped out. The possibilities are
that it was stricken out by some friend
of the fertilizer manufacturers during
the confusion incident to the closing
hours OF the session. Inasmuch as 9TH
er changes, which were made necessary
by the omission of the proviso, were
made. 1t is probable that 1t was taken
out during the last day Of the session
without the knowledge Of the friends OF
the college.
