cured another victory over his oppo-

began last autumn between Senator
Quay and the wing of the party in this
city headed by David Martin and Mayor
Warwick. there has been no Cessa ton
of hostilities. and both sides have been
strengthening their lines for tonight's
contest.
II would appear at II late hour tonight
that quay has carried II out of 81 wards
sure and that several other wards are
doubtful. Mr.. Martin only conceded II
wards to Senator Quay. and If the lat
ter carries ~ he will have control of the
city committee and the party machin-
cry in Philadelphia. AS 1t is. Mr.. Quay
will probably control the majority of
the delegation from here to the state
convention. He will also elect q num-
ber of his candidates to city councils.
There was no contest 70: city solicitor
and magistrates, and the present in
cumbents of thoso offices will be re-
nominated without opposition.
The UDoncntS Of Senator Quay con-
cede his seventeen wards. whpile claim
ing twenty sure for themselves. The
result as to who will scure control of
the city committee is still in doubt.

from all the organiza tions for the quar-
ter ending Sept. 30. 1895. was $50 COM

ades and includes nearly $4,000 OF the

A new magazine has been built at the
state arsenal i'm which all the ammuni-
tion will be stored The adjutant gen.
eraI Is of the opinion that the keeper

arsenal grounds and recommends me
erection of IA dwelling ,.ouse within the
enclosure for this purpose.
The amount of service allowance dur
ing the last annual encampment TOT
enlisted men serving re-enlistmeh's
was S7,O2O.15.
In the opinion of the adjutant gen.
aral. service allowance should be limit

than the commissioned officer VINO may

room.
General Stewart thinks a fire proof
b,iiIding should be erected as Il reposi-
tory for the flags. o
There are now in the division SOB
qualified marksmen. a decrease during
the year of i52 This is not the result
of decreasing interest or lack of efic-
iency, but OF a more rigid compliance
with rules governing rifle practice.
General Stewart concurS in the rec
Ommendation of the major general as
to an increase of the artillery and cav
airy arms of the service; also as tn the
needs of II company of engineers and a
signal corps. Consideration is advised
of the feasibility of introducing corps

ten at division and brigade headquar-
ters.
In conclusion the adjutant general
