ADVANCE OF AMERICANS
Advances in Their Price Cause an
Upward Tendency.
Railway List Forges to the Front nd
Scores-the Gains, Though the
Rise Was General.

New York, Aug. 27.-The stock market
was more active and broader this morning
than at any time in weeks. Prices ad-
vanced sba rply and the Improvement, which
ranged from 12 to 1 So per cent, was
unusually well distributed.
The local ma rket received its first i'm
petus from Londop, American securities
there having scored material gains The
foreigners also bought in our market and
this lent additional strength to the local
speculation.
Much to the qualification of conservative
operators, the railway list forged to the
front and scored the largest gains. There
is some basis for the rise in these stocks,
as traffic returns are showing up well,
while crop conditions are all that could be
desired. Good business means the speedy
rehabilitation of ofthecnmpanies in receivers
hands and the removal of bankrupt roads
as rate disturbers.
The grangers were the most active, and

HE WHITTLES.
The Idiosyncrasy of Wealthy Chi.
cagO Man.

A millionaire must be allowed to have
some amusements; and if he is disposed
TO amuse himself in ways that would not
be at all amusing to the big public made
up of men who are Eot millionaires, he
must certainly be accorded the privilege
One OF Chicago's greatest stockmen and
packers was once a dealer in junk, and IL
is said that he even went about gathering
old iron himself Now he is Teputed TO be
worth S25 .000. .0O0, ard rumor says that
he has his property i'll such shape that he
could, if he chose. raise larger sum in cash
than any other man in Chicago.
Each morning the millionaires man
comes into his office with hurdle of clean
pine sticks, which he places in a corner not
far from the millionaires desk When the
millionaire has read his morning mail and
business men come in to see him ne takes
out one of the sticks and with a big, old
fashioned jackknife whites it into bits,
the saavings falling on the floor. Some
times he walks UP and down-1e walks
much-and whittles. BY the time business
is done for the day his office looks like
a carpenter shop and the bundle of pine
sticks has vanished The harder the busi-
ness problems he las to meet, the harder
he wiittles. And that is the way he amuses
himself.

MATT QUAY'S HARD FIGHT
Embittered Republican Faction As
sembling by Thousands.
Each Side Claims II Ma jOrity of the
Delegates and There Is a Pros
pect OF Two Conv ventions.

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug 27.-The incorn-
ing trains are rapidly increasing the great
crowd OF politicians already in the city.
Large delegations arrived this morning
in special trains from Luzerne and Ale
eheDy counties, and clubs are beginning
TO put in an appearance. The crush will be
on before sunset, and the struggle will
continue until the convention decides the
question OF party supremacy tomorrow.
Senator Quays friends claim 100 dele
gates absolutely, and say he cannot be de-
feated.
The supporters of Gov. Hastings are
equally confident that the administration
forces Will win. Tonight the Quay dele
gales Will hold caucus at the board OF
trade rooms and the Hastings delegates at
the supreme court
The State committee met at IL 10 to-day
and adopted the report OF the committee on
credentials seating the five Quay delegates
In the First and Fifth wards of Philadel-
phia and the Quay delegate in Wyoming
County. The committee on Credentials was
continued, and will make a further report
at a meeting of the State committee to be
held at IL o'clock tonight. There is tal-
and other names have been discussed, among
them Judges Stewart, of Franklin, and
Pennypacker, of Philadelphia.
The Young Mems Republican Tariff Club,
of Pittsburg, numbering 325 members,
with the Montooth Band. arrived in Harris
burg this morning at 6 O'Clock.
Talk of two conventions is heard, but
nobody knows how that matter will all
end. It is reported that delegates from
Bradford County, who have been counted
for Gilkeson, will be found in the Quay
column. The Gilkeson people refuse to
,redit this story. and say, ''You can't
always believe what you hear"
When Secretary Rex called the roll,
Chairman Cooper announced that there
were seventy eight delegates present or
represented by proxies. Then Congressman
Robinson rose to question of privilege.
He said that the roll showed 7S of the
121 members of the State committee to
be present, which was substantial ma
jority. 1t had been stated in a Philadelphia
paper, he said, that the call for the meeting
contained the names of members without
their authority. Heoffered to show anybody
interested telegraphic- messages authoriz-
ing him to put the names OF the members On

were made on behalf of Joseph Greenhut,
