STILL IN DOUBT.
Both Quay and Martin Forces Claim the
Victory in philadcl pl,ia

NiStOTy III fuiIuOcIpulu.
Philadelphia. Jan. 15.-The control of
the city committee is still in doubt and
will probably remain so until friday
night, and the result may not be known
until even next Monday night. On Fri
day night the executive committees of
the ward committees meet to elect the
city committeeman. Under the follow
ing rule of the party the whole situation
IL complicated. The rule Is as follows:
All nominees of the p ~ty for ward
officers shall be ex-officio members of
their ward executive committees for the
election at which they are nominees
for two weeks thereafter and be entitled
to vote therein. If either side is able
to influence these nominees their vote
may turn the scale in favor of either
faction. Even after the meeting of the
ward committees on Friday night the
control of the city committee may be
still in doubt until the meeting of that
committee itself on Monday evening,
when the result will be announced.
The administration forces. led by Da-
vid Martin and Mayor Warwick, claim
% out of the 81 wards. and the Quay
men claim 20. but there seems to be
nine wards that can be classed as
doubtful Still, so far as can be figured
out at present. it would seem that the
administration will control the city
committee by a small majority. Even
if this is so. Senator Quay has achieved
victory in Philadelphia. as his as
saults on the lines of his opponents have
badly shattered them and he Is now
firmly intrenched in the party machin-
cry of Philadelphia.

The Quay people, however, claim that
at the meeting of the city committee

on the contention that number of men
who had SO far trained with the admin

as II u strike would be ordered at once.

cept the commission and three o'clock

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Various Cliqucs Of the Cnterrificd Are
Confident That Success Will Reward
Their Efforts.

Various Cliqucs Of the Untcrrificd Are
Confident That Success viii Reward
Their Efforts.
Washington, Jan. 15.-The corridors
of the Arlington hotel are filled TO-
night with crowds of politicians who
are eagerly discussing the prospects OF
the various cities which are contending
for convention honOrs. The New YORK
people retain the same air OF confidence
they have worn all day and seem fully
satisfied that they cannot be beaten.
They are claiming 90 votes. one more
than they expected this afternoon and
believe that when the break comes and
the weaker claimants drop out OF the
fight they will receive enough addition
al votes to give them a majority. Their
ranks were reinforced tonight by the
arrival of the members of the citizens
committee which is a non-partisan
body, headed by Isador Strauss. who
reached the Arlington at o'clock.
A delegation from Tammany hall ar
rived simultaneously and are quar-
tered at the Shoreham.
The st. Louis contingent spent busy
day and some other representatives
have met personally every member OF
the committee in the city They do not
regard New York as a serious competi-
tor. believing that the support of that
city will speedily disintegrate after a
few ballots. They believe that their
only real competitor Is Chicago and
make no secret of their apprehensions
in this particular. At late hour to-
night there Is some CONSERVATION In the
ranks of the st. Louisans over the re-
port that Senators German and Brice,
and Chairman Harrity are working
against them. At the hour at which
this despatch is written I'll oclock)
some of the Missourians are discour-
aged at the outlook and disposed to be-
lieve that the fight is lost
1t is obvious that notwithstanding
Chicago's apparent inactivity the city
is well regarded by the members of the
national committee and there are not
wanting those who have no direct in
terest In Chicago who believe that the
lake city will tomorrow bear off the
convention honOrs.
1t Is believed that before morning
the leading members of the committee
will agree upon one of the cities to
which their influence will be thrown,
and it is regarded as reasonably GER
tain that their conclusions will be
adopted by majority Of the members.
The Cincinnati delegation are playing
a waiting game and hope to become
the second choice of sufficient number
of the committee to win. They believe
that If st. Louis drops out of the race,
the major part of its strength will go
to Cincinnati.

COUNTY AUDITORS CASE.
Say the Law Affecting Schuyikill and
luzcrne Counties Unconstitutional.

Pottsvile, Pa. Jan. 15.-The Schuyl
kill county auditors have filed an an
swer with Judge Savidge, of North
umberland county, specially presiding,
to the writ of quo warranto issued at
the instance of Attorney General Nc
Cormick to show cause why they should
not vacate their Office. 1t is claimed
that the county controller act has abol-
ished the Office of auditor.'
The answer sets forth that the office
was created by the constitution and
the same has not been repealed by an
amendment to the fundamental law
and the act of the 9th Of June, 1895, cre-
ating the office of controller 10 uncon-
stitutional. 1t is special in its terms so
far as creating the Office of county con-
troller Is concerned as Il provides only
for county controllers In counties that
show by the last decenial census the
population of 10000 or over that only
two counties in the state. viz. Schuyl-
kill and LuZerne, are affected by said
act: that the passage of said act Is In
violation of clause II. section article 3
of the constitution inasmuch as it Gre
ates an Office for only these two counties
and Drescribes and limits the duties Of
the county auditors and likewise pre-
scribes and limits the duties Of county
commissioners in the said two counties.

NO SHIPS FOR TURKEY.
Secretary Olncy Declines to Discuss
Rumors Regarding the Fleet.

NumorS Kc&aroing the ttcet.
Washington, Jan. 15.-The, United
Press cable dispatch from Constanti-
nople. stating that the Turkish minis
ter here had been informed by the Unit
ed States gOvernmnet that no addition
al warships had been ordered to Turk
ish waters. was probably based on a
communication made to Mayryoeni Bey
by Secretary Olney on Thursday last.
when the Turkish minister visited the
state department. Mr.. Olney this af-
ternoon declined to say anything on
the subject. The announcement of the
Porte is practically of little interest
excepting In So far as 1t officially con-
firms the understanding in naval circles
that no actual orders had been issued to
Rear Admiral Bunce to send any of the
vessels now under his command at
Hampton Roads. But notwithstand
this, 1t is understood to be true that
the project Of sending portion at
least, of Admiral Bunce's fleet to the
Levant has been considered by the
president and his advisors.
That no formal action has been the
result of this consideration does not
necessarily mean that the project has
been abandoned, for the fleet is still
held in home waters, although nearly
a month has passed since the date set
for its departure for practice cruise in
the West Indies.
