HARRISBURG, Aug. 27.-The an-:.
iously anticipated caucuses of the two
factions of the state Republican party
we're held tonight, and the results thereof
make it appear certain that Senator Qusy
has majority of the legally elected dell
egates and has therefore won the fight.
The Quay caucus determined to hold q
separate convention. and unless there is
u compromise before morning two con.
ventions will meet tomorrow.
The day has been one of intense excite.
ment. From early morning delegates
have been arriving, visitors poured into
the city. and tonight the streets and
public places arc jammed with adherents
of the two factions, shouting at the tops
of their voices the names of their favor
ties. The prospect of an exciting conven-
ton has brought to Harrisburg many OF
the tough element from the larger cities,
and trouble is looked for. although up
to midnight there has been nothing more
serious than an occasional fist fight. at
this hour the Quayites are parading with
bands playing. and their exuberance is
so infectious that many of the anti-Quay
men are joining their ranks. Aside
from the announcements that Quay has
a majority OF the delegates and there will
probably be two conventions, the ne "
IeatuIe of the. day was the capture of the
opera house. whore the convention was
to be held, by the antQuay people. A
dramatic company was holding forth at
the opera house and there was to have
| been mptinee this afternoon and q per.
forTance 'Uls evening.
Ch i'm GIlkeson is said to have re.
CO we'd Information that the Quayties had
planned to till the house at the afternoon
performance with "heelers" who wouli
refuse to leave at the END of the perform
ance and remain all night, thus gaining
possession OF the house. To circumvent
this move. Chairman Gilkeson bought off
the theatrical company, and securing the
Keys from the lessee, placed in the house
about 100 eX-policemen and other deter
mined me who arrived -srom Pittsburg
today under charge of Superintendent Of
Police o. Meara of that city. Their moals
were sent in to them and they will re-
main in the house all night. Tomorrow
convention is to elect candidates for state
treasurer and superior judgeshlps. Hay
wood of Mercer county will probably be
chosen for state treasurer, but in the light
OF events tonight it is possible that elk
judges who were appointed by Governor
Hastings, and who, it was thought,
would be nnopposed for the nomination,
will find themselves cast aside bv the
Quay people and new men named for
their places.

The Alaskan Boundary

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-An attempt
has BEEN made in some quarters to work
up "a diplomatic controversy over the AL
aska boundary survey between the United
States and Great Britain. The status of
the case is now that the boundary is to
be settled by an agreement between the
two countries after u survey has been
made. Both countries make an inde-
pendent survey. but these surveys do not
settle the boundary. but will have TO be
agreed upon by both countries some time
in the future. Because the survey which
is now being made by Great Britain in
cludes certain territory which people in
Alaska and Washington believe rIghtfully
belongs to the United States, an impress
ion has been created that the survey set.
ties the boundary and that the United
States shculu protest against it. The
survey bv the United States may be un-
satisfactory to Great Britain AS both
surveys are made independently, they are
preliminary to an International agree
ment. Until the surveys are com pleted
nothing else will be done.

Ice GORGE At Port DEPosIT.-As usual at
this season of the year, Port Deposit has an
ice gorge. The mass extends from the town
to the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more Railroad bridge at Perryville, and is piled
up at Garrett Island under the piers of the Bal
timore and Ohio bridge to height of 25 or &c
feet. This has caused the water to rise up
over the wharves and wash out the first floors
of the stores and warehouses on Main street.
Most of the inhabitants are living in hourly
anticipation of flood. Tacks have been
pulled from carpets, pianos and heavy furni-
furniture have been placed in upper stories or
moved to other places of safety. The gorge
began to form early Sunday morning and by
Sunday night the water was well over the
wharves. Since that time there has not been
much change in the condition except that now
and then the ice is moved slightly by the
weight of the water behind it. This only
makes the gorge more solid below. The rain on
Wednesday and the warmer weather has caus-
ed the water to rise slowly and add to the
danger Of the situation.
