THAT CANTON TRIP
Senator Quay Unwilling to Discuss
It.
Mr.. BROWN, His COMPANION, RE4lCENq
Suspected Of Having Arranged the
Meeting.
CURRENT POLITICAL NEWS

PITTSBURG, Pa, May Ex-senator Quay
was expected in Pittsburg today. but up
till noon he had not been at any Of his
usual haunts. In some mar ner the report
got abroad that he would make public a
statement this morning in reference to his
visit to Canton yesterday, and there were
many anxious inquiries for the Senator at
the Hotel Duquesne ana Duquesne Club.
Shortly after noon, his son, Richard,
telephoned from Beaver that his father
would not be up to the city until Monday.
He said further that the Senator had not
prepared any statement, and it was not at
all probable that he would do so, as he had
refused to divulge anythir G that had taken
place at Canton even to him.
Various Reports Repudiated.
During conversation at Beaver last
night, Senator Quay punctured a number
Of reports that have been travelling around
since the Indiana state convention. 1t is
said that on the eve of the convention Har-
rison .telegraphed Quay and Platt, asking
the question: What Go you want me to
do?' and that Quay did not reply. The
Senator is credited with keeping Harrison
from going to the state meeting.
That report is not true" Mr. Quay said
is acquainted with Harrison knows it is
not like him. 1 did not receive that tele-
gram or any telegram from Harrison.
did not hear from him.
Speaking of the talk of Hastings for Vice
President the Senator remarked that he
did not think the governor really wanted
the position. Col. Moody spoke up and
said that few Vice Presidents figure in
history.
Yes" Mr.. Quay added dryly, "and the
l0.lrH- iS nl,i MrNEr
MIR. Brown is Reticent.
LANCASTER, Pa, May 23.-Mr J. Hay
Brown, who accompanied Senator Quay on
the latter's visit to Gov. Mckinley, was
seen today by a representative of the
Associated Press and asked to tell some
thing of the meeting in which every voter
in the United States is now interested.
Mr.. Brown remarked that the two prin-
cipals in the affair refused to talk, the
improperly of any information being i'm
parted by him was most apparent. He was
further pressed, but declined to talk until
the reporter propounded this question:
Mr.. Brown, it is said that you were in
canton few weeks ago and then ar
ranged the meeting between Senator Quay
and Gov. Mckinley. Will you deny or af-
firm this story?"
To this Mr.. Brown replied:
Il admit l was in Canton two weeks ago
and had a very pleasant interview with
Gov. Mckinley. l went there in response
to an invitation, but 1 refuse to say
whether or not the visit of Senator QUAY
was the result of that meeting. 1 went
along on the last trip at the request of
Senator Quay, who telegraphed me from
Washington to join him in Harrisburg.
The meeting between the two Presidential
candidates, 1 may say, was of a most cor
dial nature"
Further than this Mr.. Brown refused to
talk, but from his general talk and de-
meanor it was evident that he believes the
result of the meeting was eminently salts
factory to both Senator Quay and Gov.
Mckinley.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?
Only About Five Thousand Voters
Registered Thus Far.

County Clerk Hamilton and his dep
uties are trembling in their boots, as
it were, at the prospect of the rush that
will come in about two weeks of men
who will want to get their names on the
Great Register so they may vote for
either gold or silver-and incidentally
for Presidential the coming election.
All the seductive resources at the
command of the County Clerk have al
ready been exhausted in the effort to
induce citizens to come up and be reg
iStered, but the voters seem to be as
coy as so many bucolic maidens, or else
they have not yet made up their minds
as to whether or not they want to vote
There are supposed to be somewhere
between 12,000 and $4,000 men in the
county who are qualified to vote, but
though the register has been open for
six weeks or more only about 1000 of
them have thus far taken the trouble
to present themselves for registration
In just four weeks from Thursday next
the register will close with a bang, and
any voter whose name does not then
appear on it will be no better off than a
Chinaman, SO far as suffrage is con-
cerned.
No matter how thoroughly they reg
istered the last time they will not be in
1t this year if they fail to apply for reg
istration before the 10th of August.
True, there is an educational qualifi-
cation required this year, and that may
have deterrent effect on those who
cannot read and write, but it was never
before suspected that this wise pro-
vision would cut off one-half the voters
of the county

put some money in a trunk. The next

place again, and Forrest and Lewis
took the trunk out of the back door.
They took it over into the lumber yard,
but could not break it open, and they
took it over to the Gold Dust saloon and
broke it open with a hatchet. The
money and jewelry was taken out and
the money divided between the four,
while Forrest took the jewelry. The
four men then took a hack and went to
call on some women who were friends OF
Forrest.

feet and said that he and Forrest took
the trunk, while Fitzsimmons and
Wagner staid in the lumber yard. They
then went to the Gold Dust saloon and
divided the money.

trunk from his place and described its
contents, and other witnesses gave EVIL

FOR MURDER.
F. G. Englehardt on Trial for Killing
Kitty EIYnn.

Yesterday the trial of f. G. Engle-
hardt for the murder of Kitty Flynn
was begun in Judge Hinkson's court.
Assistant District Attorney j. Charles
Jones appearing for the people and w.
A. Anderson and E. G. Hart for the
defense. Only ten jurors had been ac-
cepted up to the adjournment of the
court, and the case went over until
Wednesday, to-day being a legal holi-
day.
The crime for which Englehardt is
being tried-if crime it was-waS COM
mitted in the Theater Comique one
night in March last The woman was
employed there as a waitress, but had
been living with Englehardt On the
night in question they had a some
what stormy interview in the theater,
and later, while quietly comforting to-
gether, Englehardt's pistol was dis
charged. The bullet entered the wo-
mans throat and she lived but a few
minutes.
Englehardt claimed that he was ex-
hibiting the weapon to the woman and
that it was accidentally discharged, and
this will doubtless be the line of the
defense.

WENzEL BROUGHT BACK
Goodman Arrives With . Prisoner From Arl.
zona-1is Offense

ZOno-0i0 OIIen8o
Detective ]. G. Goodman arrived in
the city yesterday afternoon from Pres
colt, Ariz., bringing with him Henry L.
Wenzel to answer to a charge Of for
gerry. Wenzel has been Imprisoned in
the territory on a conviction of aiding
and abetting prize fighting. but the au-
thorities allowed him to be brought here
to answer to the graver charge. Wen
Eel is the much wanted witness in the
Compton felony case, which has now
been dismissed, and is the party from
whom Compton claimed to have secur-
ed the alleged forged check for $275
which was found in his possession when
arrested.
Wenzel is tall, well-formed and
rather good looking man of about SO
years of age and German cast of coun-
tenance. The specific offense for which
he will be examined is for the forging
of a check on the Citizens bank of this
city for the sum of $12, signed by the
pretended name Of William X. Akers.
On the 10th of last January he attemp-
ted to pass the paper but did not sue
coed. The check was made payable to
him and was Endorsed with his sigma
ture on the back.
Whether or not. now that Wenzel Is
here. there will be another complaint
sworn to against Compton is as yet I'M
known. The detectives have all along
claimed that they had a good case
against Compton if they could only Sc
cure the testimony of Wenzel. which was
material as showing the source from
whence Compton claimed to have Sc
cured the worthless check The COM
plant against Wenzel was sworn to by
Goodman on May and he will be ar
raigned in the police court today. Late
in the afternoon Goodman took him out
and secured a photograph of him which
will adorn the rogues' gallery in case Of
conviction of the offense.
