Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. Ex-senator
Quay and his followers made a bold
dash yesterday in the fight for re-
publican supremacy i'll this state by
taking possession OF the state commit
tee and deposing 3. +. Gilkeson from
the craftsmanship. The object of do
ing this was to place themselves in
position to prepare a roll Of delegates
to Wednesdays convention so they
might appear before that body with
a prima facie case. What effect this
move may have cannot be fOretOld,
and the next move Of the Hastings
people is looked for with great inter
est. The situation last night was in-
tensely exciting and altogether IN
certain. Both factions are claiming
the victory, but it must be admitted
that those who are opposing the as
piratious Of Senator Quay are the
most serene and confident. AS the
delegates arrive they are confronted
for the first time IN the history Of
the republican party in this state by
dual headquarters Of the state COM
mittee. One of these is at the Com
monwealth hotel, and is in charge of
Secretary GilkesOn, the other is at
the Lochiel hotel, which had been en-
gagged by Gilkeson, 1T when he came
he found that Quay'S followers had
captured the room and placed j. B.
Rex, of Huntington, another secretary
Of the state committee, in charge.
Seventy-three Of the 12i members Of
the state committee attended the
meeting in the interests of Senator
Quay. A committee was appointed to
wait upon Chairman GiTkeson and no.
tify him that the committee had con,
vened and a majority of its members
was present and desired him to pre-
side over the deliberations. Mr.. Gil
kesOn replied to this committee that
he had not called the state committee
together and had no business to lay
before it. When the committee
reported another committee was ap
pointed and authorized to make up q
roll Of the delegates to the state con
! ventiOn.
At anti-Quay headquarters last
might, David Martin, G. L. Magee and
other leaders discussed the situation,
all expressing in the most confident
manner possible their belief that they
had won their fight. Chairman Gilke-
son declined to give out figures, but
Mr.. Martin said he knows 100 dele
gates will vote against Quay for state
chairman. This is Is more than the
number necessary to win. Quay reit-
crates his previous declala tion that he
has not less than 100 delegates
1t will probably not be known until
tonight, when both sides CAUCUS
whether there will be two conven,
tions. Many knowing ones profess tc
believe that the Quayites, failing tc
get control of the temporary organi.
zation Wednesday, will bolt and hold
an independent convention. In this
event there may be two republican
tickets i'm rhe field this fall.

CONFLICT OF LAWS.
Coppinger Explains the Recent Con
fiict in Jackson's Hole.

Omaha, Aug. 27.-Gen. COppinger,
Maj. Humphrey and Lieut.. Hutchir-
son arrive last evening, after u
months stay in the Jackson's hole
country. Gen. Coppinger is reticent
in discussing the situation in Jack
sons's hole, and says that when
the troops arrived the settlers, much
frightened, were congregated at two
points and were sending out scouts.
The conflict, he said is between the
state laws Of Wyoming and treaty
with the United States.

PRETTY AND DEMURE.
leila Nicholaus Deeply Impresses
Quaker City Reporter.

Philadelphia, Aug. 27.-Zella Nichol-
aus, the young woman who is suing
George Gould for the amount of a
certain aforementioned check, is at
present stopping at the Continental
prior to her debut into the dramatic
world in the role of Selma, the leading
character in a burlesque entitled The
Gilded Age, which comes to the Ly-
ceUm theater tomorrow evening. Miss
NichOlauS, when seen yesterday after
noon, was attired in a most becoming
costume, consisting of a black crepon
skirt and Persian silk bodice
trimmed with row upon row of soft
yellow lace and sundry moss green
velvet rosettes. In manner she is alb
solutely child-like, her voice caress-
ing and with a WistfUl undertone that
makes you forget the determined will
that has led her to keep up her legal
fight against the multi-milhonaire.
Mr.. Gould will be served with
papers in another suit for fifty thou
sand dollars directly he returns from
Europe" she said, 'and I am certain
that if my suit ever comes up before
judge and jury that justice will be
meted out to me-"
''Do you not feel little nervous at
going on the stage?" was the natural
query prompted by the clinging, de-
pendent manner that characterizes the
demeanor of this new aspirant for
histrionic honors.
'No. l can hardly say that 1 do. l
! have always wanted to go on the
stage, and studied for that purpose
| four years ago, but was prevented
! from doing SO at that time. Now it
! is a question Of earning my own live
/ lihoOd. l do not do it for further
notoriety, but hope with all my heart
that I may win public favor for my
! ability. i am not as hardened as the
papers have suggested" Here the
soft brown eyes filled with tears and
the writer wondered how in the world
anybody could have been brute enough
] to take away such a trif1e as a check
Of forty thousand dollars from this
timid little creature.
Miss Nicholaus or Mrs. Reuhman, as
she now is, having been married fol
a year and half to gentleman pos
sessing the latter cognomen, is one
of the cleverest women that Inspector
/ ByrreS Of New York ever met. This
is quoted from his own admission, ant

EDITORIAL VIEWS.

Philadelphia Tfmes:-A month ago
Senator Quay announced that his ma
jority in the state convention would
be 70. The result shows that he I'M
derestimated his own strength. His
majority in the state conv ention will
not be less than so, and may be fully
100 if not more.

however, and expect to get the full
amount for which l sue
With genuine womanly curiosity the
writer endeavored to find out how the
check transference had been accom-
plished, but on this point the future
actress remained dumb and a spark
Of the vaunted cleverness lit her eyes
and lent a cold dignity to her manner,
as she responded, Were 1 to try my
suit in the newspapers there would be
no occasion for doing so in court
Rather abashed at this new phase,
the writer turned the converse ton into
what she thought a more agreeable
channel and inquired whether Miss
Nicholaus would wear tights in the
forthcoming production. Again the
subject chosen was malaprOpOs, Tor
with a little froisse air the Informal
ton was given that only lOng-skirted,
high-necked costumes would be
chosen. Miss Nicholaus has very de-
cided ideas on this subject, and in
formed Manager Jermon that she
would remain off the stage forever
rather than appear in any costume
that would not be suitable in a draw
ing room. What the outcome of her
dramatic venture will be remains TO
be seen, but if perfect teeth, curling
golden hair, enigmatical brown eyes
and a winsome form count for any
thing. she will be pretty certain to
make up her financial losses on the
stage, though the much-lamented
check is never replaced.
New York, August "a new and
particularly interesting twist to the
Gould Nicholaus case is about to take
place. LAWYER Alexander Simpson
Zella's counsel, said that he intends
either to amend the declaration in the
present case so as to include charge
of assault against George Gould, or t
bring another suit ON that charge. The
assault in question is alleged by Law
yer Simpson to have taken place il
the early part of 1898 before Miss
Nicholaus departed so suddenly fo1
Europe in company with Al Reuhman
Mr.. Simpson declined to state the eX
act time or place of the assault.
The lawyer notified Lawyer Linda
bury, Mr. Gould's attorney of record
in New Jersey, that he would serve
the papes in the new suit as soon a:
he had finished consulting the law OF
the subject. Whether or not Mr.
Gould will be arrested on the new
charge on his arrival in this city from
Europe Lawyer Simpson declined It
state definitely. Mr.. Gould is on TIT
Paris now on his way to New York
This last move on the part Of the fai
leila has had the effect of agitatinE
the lawyers for the defense consid
erably.
