QUAY IS A CANDIDATE,
Formal Announcement That HI
Seeks the Republican
Nomination.
Pennsy1vania's Delegation Will Pro.
pose the Senator's Name in
the Convention.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 12.-The
United Press is able tonight to announce
positively that Senator Quay of Pennsyl-
vania has consented to permit his name to
go before the Republican National Con-
vention at st. Louis. The Senator is now
Gin the hands of his friends" and his
prominence as a factor in the race will de-
pend upon their efforts. 1t is understood
that the Senator has full knowledge of the
statement thus made public.
For several days Quay has been besieged
by his friends and the mem bers of the
delegation from his State to permit them
to announce him as their candidate, but
thus far he has declined to give his con-
sent. After considering the matter care
fully, that consent was given this event ing.
and Mr.. Quay's personal friends and lieu
tenants throughout the State were doubt
less notified of the facts at once. Mr.. Quay
himself declined tonight to be interviewed.

DUCK WoRTH,s DENIAL.
Claims n. Il. Kidder Should HaUe Trans.

Claims H Il. Kidaer Should Haue Traus-
nitsed the RESOLUTION.
MONTEREY, CAL, Feb. FL had
no more to do with the disappearance of
Belshaw's S anti funding resolution than the
man in the moon. Any one who will read
the law governing the Office of chief clerk
of the Assembly will readily assent to this
proposition. Section 253 of the Political
Code prescribes the duty of the ch ief clerk,
which consists of calling the roll, reading
the journal and bills and experimenting
the copying of documents at the desk.
Section 254 of the same code makes it the
duty of the assistant clerks to take charge
of all bills, petitions and other papers and
file and enter them in the book provided
for that purpose. A
When the Belshaw resolution was in
troduced l read it at the desk and passed
it to the minute clerk, R. @. Wickham,
who, after copying it, passed it to John
Varcoe, assistant clerk in charge of the
register of Assembly bills. In due time I
delivered it in the Senate, having first left
it on table in "The Well, wher had
lunched with my wife, and then regained
possession of it.
When the Senate concurred and returned
the document to the House | read the mes
sag announcing this fact. 1t then vent
to Mr.. Varcoe for the final entry in our
register.
Further than this know nothing about
it. Mr.. Varcoe was in charge at that end
of the desk, and D. G. Holt of Rio Vista
was his immediate assistant. Herbert A.
Kidder of Sacramento was enrolling clerk,
and it was his duty to present the resolu-
ton 10 the Governor, after it had been
properly enrolled. The Journal of the As
sembly does not snow any report of the
Enrolling Committee that this was done.
The duties of the enrolling clerk are pre-
scribed at page 426, statutes of 1891.

At Least Thirty Persons Known
to Have Met Death in the
Conhagration.
cREMATED IN A CONVENT.
Panic.Stricken Nuns Fall Victims to
the Flames-The Cathedral Lies
in Ashes.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. IA special
cable dispatch to the Herald from Panama
says: A great fire ragged in Guayaouil,
Ecuador, to-day, beginning at o'clock in
the morning.
When the iremen, and the soldiers who
were hurriedly ordered out to aid
them, finally brought it under con-
troll, crowds of panic-stricken per-
sons were wandering homeless in
the streets, many lay dead in the morgues,
and property worth nearly two million
dollars had been destroyed, inclu ding the
noble cathedral and the convent which
adioined it.
The panic which began among the nuns
in the convent, several of whom were
burned, was contagious, and the city be-
came terror-strlcken when the seriousness
of the situation was grasped.
President General Alfaro. with his fam
lily. took refuge on board steamship in
the harbor.
1t is believed that at least thirty persons
suffered death and it is known that many
were injured.

PHOENIX, ARIz., Feb. 12.-Major R.
Allyn Lewis, commanding the Second
Battalion n. G. A, wires from Bowie that
he has positive information that the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. fights to be brought
off tomorrow within Arizona lines.
This morning Governor Hughes, under
authority of the provisions of the militia
act of 1895, ordered to Eastern Arizona
three companies of militia, two from
Tucson and one from Yuma.
They will be held at Bowie or San
Simon, where commissary positions are
available. Companies at Nogales, Phoenix,
Tempe and Mesa were also instructed to
prepare for active service at once. Each
company must report twenty-five men
ready for active duty.
The Governor has telegraphed Major
Lewis to prevent at all hazards the pass
age of persons to engage in a prize-fght,
as they will be implicated in conspiracy
to commit felony.
This evening the Governor wired the
Southern Pacific Company that he is in
formed an attempt will be made to bring
off the fight in Arizona, and urging that
company not to become accessories by
carrying the fighters.
Allen, who gives the information about
the fight, was sent by Governor Hughes
as detective.
All these preparations do not distract
the sports in the least. They are still con-
flfent and continue to declare that the
fight will come off. Gus Hirschfeld main
tains that he is willing to place $40, 900
against hall that amount as backer of his
opinion.

ERROR IN The TREATY.
The Agreement for a Settlement
Of Bering Sea Claims
Is Corrected.
Had Ignored the Possible Existence of
Counter-Claims Against Great
Britain.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 12.-Yester-
day afternoon in executive session the
treaty between this Government and
Great Britain for the settlement of the
claims growing out of the alleged Bering
Sea seal fisheries seizures was laid before
the Senate and referred to the Committee
on Foreign Relations.
The convention was considered by the
committee but no conclusion was reached,
the time being consumed by Senator Nor
gan, who made an elaborate speech to the
committee of his views on the subject and
its relation to the finding of the court of
arbitration held in Paris.
The convention is signed on behalf of
the United States by Secretary of State
ambassador Pauncefote.
1t provides for the appointment Of one
commissioner by each Government. If
these two cannot reach conclusion then
an umpire, or third commissioner, is to be
selected. If the two Governments cannot
agree upon this umpire the convention
stipulates that he shall be named by the
President of the Swiss Republic.
Whatever may be agreed to by these
Commissioners is to be binding upon the
two Governments parties to the treaty.
The text of the convention is unsatisfac-
tory to the committee in one particular,
and was amended.
1t provides for the finding of claims OF
the subjects of Great Britain against the
United States for illegal seizing and
ignores the possible existence of any
claims by citizens of the United States
against the Dominion Of Canada or Great
Britain. The amendment will correct this
oversight.
This treaty is the outgrowth of the fnd-
ing of the Paris tribunal.
That h igh court of arbitration refused to
consider the question of damages, but left
that to the future determination of the
two governments. Great Britain subse-
quently claimed specific amount, and an
executive communication to the last Con-
gress urged the appropriation of lump
sum of $425 900 to pay these claims.
The Senate, however, chiefly through the
influence of Senator Morgan, refused to
allow the appropriation, his contention
being that the subject of such a bill was
equivalent to the admission that the Paris
award had included the subject of dam
ages. 1t was then held that the only way
the question of damages could be settled
was by separate investigation.
The legality of the claims then presented
to this Government was denied. The con-
vention brings the matter before the Sem
ate in what is held by the committee to be
the only proper manner. and it is said
there will be but little delay in making a
report to the Senate in favor OF the treaty
after 1t has been so amended as to protect
the rights of the United States equally
with those of Great Britain.

GAME BLOCKED,
Lobbyists Are Idle While
He Arranges New
Plans.
FINDS MANY OBSTACLES.
Opposition of the Goulds and

Defeat.
SENATOR CULLOM's JOKER.
A Resolution Which Has Aroused
the Suspicious of Congressman
Mcguire.
SENATOR CULL0M's JOKER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1.-THE
story printed in Mondays CALL, to the
effect that the Union Pacific and Central
Pacific people were unable to agree upon
the terms of bill to settle or extend their
interest in New York City and Washing
ton, the story having been wired to New
York from San Francisco.
Judge Mcguire says there is no doubt
but that the Vanderbilts and Goulds ana
other Chicago and Northwestern stock
holders are anxious to buy the Union Pa
citic and Central Pacific, as this would give
| them with the New York CentraO a
through line from New York to San Fran
cisco-something they have long sought.
Magtire says he has had suspicion for
some time that this was to be the scheme,
and his suspicious were strengthened by a
bill introduced by Senator Thurston of Ne
braska, providing for foreclosure and sale,
and by the questions asked by Senator
Wolcott of Colorado in the committee last
Saturday.
Mr.. Huntington finds his game blocked
for the time being, and his lobbyists have
been called off until he has time to gather
his wits and decide upon some new plan
of campaign. He realizes he cannot
make fight successfully for refunding
single-handed. and that if the Vanderbilt,
Gould and Chicago and Northwestern inter-
ests oppose his funding scheme it will be
an almost hopeless fight.
Judge Magu ire says he concluded. after
hearing Counsel Pierce of the Union Pa
cific reorganization committee against the
Smith funding bill, that the Union and
Central Pacific would not pull together,
but that the Vanderbilts and Goulds were
behind that opposition. He says the lat
ter could afford to pay for the Union and
Central Pacific Cat foreclosure sale) twice
as much as it would cost to build new
road from Omaha to San Francisco.
Senator Cuilom of Illinois to-day intro
duced resolution to foreclose on the Pa
cific roads 1t directs the Secretary of the
Treasury to close up the sinking-fund ac-
count of the Central Pacific and Union
Pacific roads and report the necessary ap-
propriations, if any. to balance the ac-
count, the amount of balance to be placed
to the credit of lawful and just claimants,
known and unknown. Mr.. Cullom intro
duced his resolution with the following
preambl
WHEREAS. The obligations of the Union and
Central Pacific and other Pacific railroad COM
panies, designated by the statutes of the
United States as OF lien Indebtedness, prior
and paramount to their Indebtedness to the
United States has matured; and, whereas, no
public notice of the maturity of sucn indebt-
ed ness has been given to the public, or to the
Congress OF the United States; and. whereas

reached the Governors hands. It would
appear that considerable of the blame
must rest on Chief Clerk Duckworth, as
the document is indorsed by that gentle
man as having been received by him on
the 30th of January, 1895. He was ordered
to transmit it to the Governor i'm medlately,
which he failed to do. This is more con-
clusively proved by the fact that Mr..
Duckworth's receipt-book shows that he
did not take it to the executive, there being
receipts for all resolutions passed but this
one.
The enrolling clerk, whose duty it was
to. transmit TO the Governor all bills and
resolutions which had passed the Legisla-
ture, has no record in his stubbook to
show that any receipt had ever been given
by him to Mr.. Duckworth for the resolu-
tlon-something which the latter always
required before any bill or resolution passed
by the Legislature was allowed to pass
from his possession.
Old employees of the State,S conversant
with inside history of past sessions, seem
inclined to believe that the resolution
may have been mixed up in mass of
other documents, lost sight of and forgot
ten, but it hardly appears plausible that
such an important document. supposedly
bearing great weight with Congress and
rushed through both houses on the same
day, should SO easily have sunk into obliy-
ion.

In respect thereof being given, such indebted
ness must continue to increase at the rate OF
per cent on sinking-fund securities and of 6
per cent on original bonds secured by

premises, as well as for older causes of public
GOOD and justice, the powers provided and re-
served to Congress in acts of 1862, 1864 and
1878 SECTIONS and 81 and of March 3, 1887
(sections and 81, are adequate to the protec-
tion by Congressional legislation of the Joint
interests OF the United States and all lawful

Appended to the resolutions is brief
respecting Pacific railroads, which states
that all Congressional legislation upon
bond-aided railroads, from the beginning,
reserves the right for further legislation.
Hence the early acts were merged by those
of later dates.
Judge Mcguire said to CALL cores
pondent tonight: Senator Cullom's reso-
luton, on its face, seems TO hasten the
Pacific railroads, but the provision for ap-
plying the sinking fund to the payment of
paramount liens, superior to the Govern
ment lien, has sinister look to me. It
seems to me one of the purposes of the
resolution, if not the only purpose, Is to
acknowledge by resolution the priority of
the so-called first mortgage.
"The Secretary of the Treasury had
refused to apply the sinking fund to the
payment O. overdue first mortgage INSTALL
ments. The Collum resolution, if passed,
would probably override the Secretary's
decision and action in this matter and
might be held to be a complete abandon
ment of the Governments claim to priority.
cat any rate, 1 see no necessity for the
passage of any such resolution at this
time, and l am, therefore, opposed to
the resolution"

Information reached The United Press
tonight from Fort Bliss that orders had
been received from Washington counter
manding, until further notice, the fifteen
days practice march upon which Com
pany II of the Fifteenth Infantry should
have started tomorrow, and also ordering
that the troops be confined to barracks to-
morrow. Company B has just returned
from its fifteen days march, and the Off
GERS and men of Company II had every
thing in readiness for the start tomorrow.
The orders, which came via the depart
ment headquarters at San Antonio are
interpreted a the fort as indicating that
the troops will be ordered out in the event
of indications pointing to the selection OF
New Mexican ground for a battlefield.
There are at Fort Bliss two companies of
the Fifteenth Infantry, $50 men, and a
troop of fifty of the Fifth Cavalry.
