DIR. SWALLOWS CHARGES.
He Says Garman offered to Sell Out
Democracy to Quay.

WILLIAASPORT, Pa, Oct. S1-More
fuel was added to the flame of PennsyIva-
Mas furious campaign tonight when DR..
Silas c. Swallow, "the honest government
candidate for Governor boldly charged that
the Democratic state chairman John M
Garman, had made proposition to United
States Senator Quay to "sell OUT the state
Democracy. In support of his accusation
DR.. Swallow produced an affidavit sworn to
by E. Q. Miller, a travelling man of this
city. Miller swears that on Sept. last he
met on train between Wiiamsport and
Philadelphia Charles E. Keck, a Wilkes
barre lawyer, who told him he was on his
way to see Quay with message from Car
man. Keck being a Republican, he ex-
planned his selection thus: "Garman told
me that he had lots of men in the Demo-
cratic party, but none that he could trust
with mission of that kind. The PROPOSE
tion is that II certain legislation and fayors
in certain counties are given to Garmau
he will insure those counties for Stone and
he will offer positive evidence that he can
deliver the goods" W. A. Stone is the cam
didate for Governor Miller alleges that
they went together TO the Republican state
committee headquarters, but Senator Ouay
was in Atlantic City, and Keck went there
after him. When they met in Philadelphia
next DAY Keck told Miller as the latter
swears, that he had laid the proposition
before the old man. and he thought well of
it" and he was then arranging a meeting
between Quay ana Garman.
DR.. Swallow said that Mr. Miller's state
ment was corroborated on many important
points by documentary evidence. hotel reg
listers, ETC., and that Mr.. Miller voluntarily
related the story. The doctor says he made
it public at this time in response TO the re-
cent denunciation of him by Chairman Car
man in his denial of the charge made by
DR.. Swallow that the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party had sold out TO the Quay ma
chine"
HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct Ex-senator
Quay passed through here late tonight on
his way from Philadelphia to his home in
Beaver. Shown the charges made by DR..
Swallow of a proposition from Democratic
State Chairman Garman to sell out" TO
Quay the senator said: THE charges are
absolutely untrue. l have never had an
interview either with Mr.. Keck or Garman.'

ment was made tonight of Samuel Stephen
sons Withdrawal from the congressional
race in this district. Stephenson and Con-
gresham Sheldon were botn running on the
Republican ticket. Stephenson's withdrawal

GOVERNOR BLACK SPEAKS.
Comes Out in the Interest of ROOse-
welt and Good Government.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.--Governor Black
made his first speech for Colonel Roosevelt
tonight in Lenox Lyceum, which was
crowded. Former Mayor Strong presided,
and in introducing Governor Black he said:
Il have seen the announcement on Dem
ocratic banner that the supreme issue is the
canal. / take it that the supreme issue is to
send men to Congress who will vote for
sound money and good government"
Governor Black was received with deafen-
ing cheers as he advanced to the front Of
the platform Mayor Strong called for
three cheers for Governor Black, and ev-
cry person in the hall seemed to raise his
voice in enthusiastic acclaim. Governor
Black praised the national administration
for its conduct of the war and called ON his
hearers to sustain the President, adding:
And with him through all this tempest
stood one whom l shall name, because he
has so often suffered at the hands of the
unthinking and the unjust-a hero in the
last war, a statesman in this; courageous,
upright, the secretary of war has stood,
performing his du 3, and has not been
swerved therefrom either by the perils of
war or the aspersions of his countrymen.'

UTICA, N. Y, Oct. 31.-Judge Augustus
Van Wyck and ex-senator David B. Hill
addressed an audience of nearly 5000 people
in this city tonight. When the opera house
had been filled arrangements were made for
an overflow meeting in the street outside,
and another large crowd listened to re-
marks or the situation by local orators
One of the noticeable features Of the meet
ing in the opera house was the ovation
which greeted ex-senator Hill. When he
arose after being introduced he was greeted
with an outburst of applause which pre-
vented him from speaking for some min
utes. 1t exceeded both in enthusiasm and
duration the welcome given Judge Van
Wyck, which was, nevertheless, a hearty

Manila at an expense not yet known here
and wharves of small value along the Pasig
river. She has recently built barracks for
four thousand men, now occupied by Amer
lean troops. the cost of which is not yet
ascertainable At Cavite Spain has built
naval station, which, before it was sacked
by the natives, was said to be equal to the
Mare island station and may be worth ST.
100000. Whether or not the last two items
can be strictly designated pacific expendi-
lures must be determined in conference,
but the lighthouses, water improvements,
barracks and naval are necessary to the
United States as the owner of the Philip
pines and are deemed worth a fair price.
Spain has also built some schoolhouses,
which the Americans are willing to take
over at cost.
The Spanish commissioners listened atten-
lively, though not without some evidences of
impatience and surprise at the financial sug-
gestions in the American presentment, and
finally asked until Friday to consult the
Madrid government and make reply. Ad-
journment was then taken to that day.
After the conference was dissolved the
Spanish commissioners expressed the opin-
ion that the American demand would create
in Spain, as they had upon her commission
ers, an exceedingly grave impression. Were
the Spanish commissioners pushed to a
final determination tonight they would re-
ject the American demands, but the chang
ing tone of the Spanish press recently urges
the consummation of a treaty of peace,
however rigorous. the argument being that
although the Spaniards bow to the Ameri-
can demands, the commissioners do not ac-
knowledge the justice or admit the legality
of them.
Tonight the Spanish commissioners feel
that the United States to all intents and
purposes, have not offered any financial in
ducement to Spain to cede by treaty any
part of the Philippines. Had the American
commissioners even offered to take over the
entire Philippine debt of about $O,OO0OOO
the Spanlards affect to feel that it would
have been as nothing and they regard to-
days position so meager as not to warrant
even a schedule of Spains pacific expendi-
lures in the archipelago

turn from the Holy Land.
JERUSALEM, Oct. 31.-The Emperor and
Empress of Germany are curtailing their
visit to the Holy Land. They have aban-
doned their trip to Jericho, owing to the
European complications and it is also be-
lieved they will not go to Syria. Their
Majesties, this morning, attended the con-
secration of the Church of the Redeemer.
The ceremony, in which the natives took a
leading part was most impressive and was
marked with the greatest pomp.
AT O'clock yesterday morning Empress
Augusta Victoria attended the opening of
the German orphanage in a vineyard near
Bethlehem. Their Majesties have spent con-
siderable time amid the scenes connected
with the Saviors nativity. They have Wis
tied the pool of Bethesda, the traditional
site of the ascension and the garden of
Gethsemane, and have enjoyed the magnifi-
cent view OF the Dead sea and the plain of
Jericho to be had from the summit of the
mount of Olives. Attired simply like an
ordinary tourist, the Empress has charmed
her hosts by her unaffected grace of man
ner. Emperor William, too, has appeared
as a simple pilgrim. not counting demonstra-
tions. Nevertheless, the imperial visitors
have been everywhere accompanied by pic
turesque throngs-for the most part silent.
in accordance with Oriental custom-con-
sisting of swarthy Bedouins. fierce-looking
Kurds, Jews, Levantines and Europeans, a
heterogeneous mixture that could not be as
sembled in any other city in the world
Various reasons are ascribed for the En-
perors curtailment of his journey but it is
said that the main cause is the excessive
heat and discomfort of travel. Nearly forty
horses have already succumbed, and the
Emperor has, therefore, decided to return
to Haifa from Jaffa by sea- 1t is now be-
lieved that he will go to Damascus.

Little Probability that VI. Dupuy Will
Assist the ExiIe's Friends.


LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Paris correspond
ent of the Daily News says: Il learn that
it is not at all unlikely that NJ. Dupuy, the
new premier, will turn his back on General
Mercier 1t is rumored that another mys-
terious prisoner was brought to Montva-
lerien prison on Saturday. Four cells are
how occupied"
The Paris correspondent of the Times,
dilating upon the fact that the Dreyfus at
fair occurred under NJ. Dupuy's former pre-
miership and when President Faure was
minister of marine, says: 'It is disquieting
for the revisionists that NJ. Faure now con-
fers the premiership upon NJ Dupuy as
these two are called upon to screen their
former colleague General Mercier. Ger
tainly the combination occurs somewhat
tardlly, now that the Court of Cessation is
in possession of the affair, but on the other
hand, M. De Freycinet, the new minister of

always turned from them or eluded them.
He is past master in the art of meeting
great questions by petty solutions and

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Daily Mail this
morning publishes no news regarding Eng
lands war preparations, explaining that
silence is due to letter from the War
Office asking it not to publish anything
which might be useful to possible enemy"
1--WE intend to ascertain to-day" says the
Daily Mail, from the War Office and the
Admiralty exactly what kind of news it
would be permissible to publish
The Daily Mail confirms the reports of
unexampled activity at the French dock
yards, notably at Toulon, where the coast
forts have been experimenting with melinite
shells against an old gunboat.
The Cairo correspondent of the Daily Mail
says an Egyptian battalion has been dis
patched to Fashoda.
Most of the papers are full of alleged war
preparations, despite the undoubted fact
that the authorities are doing their best to
discourage publication, and are even deny
ing statements that have already appeared.
Yesterday (Monday) a sudden order was re-
ceived at Dover for an experimental mobili-
zation of the defense forces. All the
heights and forts were smarrIy occupied in
a manner giving full satisfaction. The
arsenal at Woolwich is working until II
o'clock every night, the government having
given large orders for guns, searchlights,
and other naval equipment. The British
channel squadron has cast anchor off
Gibraltar.
The advices from Paris in the special dis
patches this morning add little to what was
already known REGARDING the situation at
Fashoda. 1t is believed that Captain Bara-
tier is taking only verbal instructions from
Major Marehand The idea prevails at the

Russian foreign minister, while there on his

reopening the whole Egyptian question, and
that Major Marchand will be instructed to
