DEMOCRATTC SELL OUT
To Quay is Charged by DR.. Swallow
in Pennsylvania

WiIIiamsport, Pa. Nov. More fuel
was added to the flame OF Pennsyl-
vania's furious campaign last night
when DR.. Silas s. Swallow, the honest
government candidate for governor.
boldly charged that the Democratic
chairman. John NJ. Garman. had made
a proposition to United States Senator
Quay to sell OUT the state Democracy
In support OF his accusation. Dr. SWal-
low produced an affidavit sworn to by
E Q. Miller, a travelling man Of this
city Miller swearS that on Septem Der
last he met on a train between Will
Transport and Philadelphia, Charles E
Keek, a Wilkesbarre lawyer, who told
him he was on his way to see Quay
with a message from Garnan. Keek
being a Republican, he explained his
selection thus:
''Garman told me that he had lots Of
men in the Democratic party but none
that he could trust with a mission Of
that kind The proposition is that if
certain legislation and favOrs in Ger
tain counties are given to Garman he
will insure those counties for Stone and
he will offer positive evidence that he
can deliver the goods"
W. A Stone is the candidate for gov
ernor.
Miller alleges that they went together
to the Republican state committee
headquarters, but Senator Quay was
in Atlantic City and Keek went there
after him When they met in Phil
adeIphia next day Keek told Miller, the
latter SWearS, that he laid the PROPOSE
ton -DeLOre the oId man ana ne thought
well Of it, and he was then arran ging
a meeting between Quay and Garman-
DR.. Swallow said that Mr.. MiIIer's
statement was cOrrObOrated on many
important points by documentary evil
dence, hotel registers, etc, and that Mr.
Miller voluntarily related the story. The
doctor said he made it public at this
time in response to the recent denuncia-
ton of him by Chairman Garman in his
denial Of the charge made by Dr. Swat
low that the leaders Of the Democratic
party had sold out to the Quay ma

limit in which the evacuation must take
place But it is not believed that this
great undertaking can be accomplish
ed in so short a time.
The report that this government would
contribute toward the expenses Of
transportation was denied with en-
phasis at the Office of the secretary OF
war. The authorities do not seem IN
such haste since the dangers to our
troops have been emphasized
In connection with the relief Of Gen
eral Graham it is stated that General
Lawton viii go to Cuba with part OF
the Second army corps to be desig-
mated later.
Lieutenant Colonel Rowan who was
detailed to make a tour Of exploration
through Cuba, has just returned to
Washington. He Travelled from San
tiago to Pinar del Rio, about 400 miles,
visiting the camps of the insurgents as
he went. Ho found them tractable and
disposed to yield to the policy of this
government.
THE people in this country said
Colonel Rowan, do not understand why
the insurgents are unwilling to give up
their arms. At the beginning of the
war it was decreed that to the Cubans
under arms all property should be IN
common, so that no objection is made
even now to insurgents helping them
selves wherever food offers itself Should
they now lay down their arms the right
thus to take property where they found
it would not exist"
Cuban soldiers are now left Most OF
them are armed only with machete
and Colonel Rowan thought that as this
was used as an implement OF peace also
it would not be considerable to take it
away.
There is one possible cause of vexa-
ton that seems to have been overlook
ed" said Colonel Rowan, namely, the
Spanish guerriIllas are volunteers These
guerriIIas are in many instances no bet
ter than brigands- The Spaniards are
chasing them over the island trying to
disarm them
As nearly as can be ascertained there
are about so 600 volunteers and 10000
guerriIIas and Colonel Rowan does not
view the problem of disarming them as
simple.
Colonel Rowan believes that the
Spanish troops will be drawn in toward
Havana as fast Is possible, so that this
point may be the last one to be evacuat-
ed He called attention to the fact that
the customs receipts there are about
81, 500 coo a month, an inducement that
would cause BIanco to Hnger as long as
possible
Colonel Rowan's views in a developed
form together with recommendations
of certain points for garrisons will be
comprised in his report

COL. WARNINGS DEATH
Has Caused the Governor to Change
It's Plans About Cuba

New York Nov. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Colonel
Warnings startling death has been the
dominating factor in the change OF plan
on the part of the administration as to
the time of the sailing of the United
States troops for Cuba In the official
orders '.On or before November g. had
been mentioned and had been received
as final, but there will be a delay of
probably three weeks
A high official said that this delay
would not be regretted by the admin
istratiOn, because otherwise the troops
would be thrown into needless danger
1t was recalled that three persons who
went with the commission and had been
quartered under the best auspices had
died Had not the attention OF the ad-
ministratiOn been thus sharply drawn
to climatic dangers there would have
been an attempt to start off the Seventh
army corps from Savannah at an early
day.
But as it turns out this would have
been impossible on account of the lack
of preparation in the department Of
transportation OF the twelve trans
ports owned by the government on the
Atlantic coast, all but four are under
going repairs.
It is not contemplated that the day
of taking formal possession of Cuba will
be postponed beyond December 1 and
January 1 has been fixed upon as the

Negro Man Makes a MurderOus
Assault on a Woman on
Buchanan Street.

A few minutes before s O'Clock this
morning an unknown negro made a
rnurderous assault upon Elizabeth
Youngroot, a domestic in the employ OF
H. o. Garvey, SIS Buchanan street
About 5 O'Clock Elizabeth Youngroot
arose and went down stairs to start the
fires. It was still dark and she turned
on the light in the kitchen After work
ing in the kitchen for some time she
went back up stairs and soon after
wards heard a knock on the back door.
She went down and opened the door.
A negro was standing there holding the
screen door open
Does a man by the name Of Eber live
here?' he asked as he glanced around
the room and held his right hand close
to his side
He does not answered Miss Young
root.
Did he work here once?"

The man grabbed the girl with his
left hand. She jumped back and the
man raised his right hand in the air as
II to strike he had an open razor in
his right hand. The girl gave him a
shove and as she did so the man struck
at her throat with the razor. The girl
ran screaming into the front part of the
house and as she rushed through the
door between the kitchen and the din
ing room she saw the man following her.
She ran up stairs screaming at the top
of her voice. Mrs. Garvey was ava
Mr.. Garvey awakened the man had left
the house.
The girl was not frightened when she
first opened the door and was able to
give the police good description of the
man
To. Sergt. Donovan she described him
as a short, heavy set negro, very black
with a smooth face, a brown stiff hat
black clothes with his coat collar turned
up She thought he must be about %
or 80 years old and is positive she could
identify him.
The neighbors were awakened BY the
screams and saw the man running
through the alley toward Sixth street
but no one made an effort to stop him
7 am sure / do not know what the
fellow meant to do said Mr. Garvev.
for a burglar would not have made an
effort at robbery at such a time in the
morning I think the fellow must have
either been crazy or drunk
The police have no clue as to who the
negro is.

SEVEN DOLLARS A MINUTE.
What It Was Worth to Load a Cargo
of Wheat For Export.

New York. Nov. The British
steamship Ormesby arrived yesterday
in ballast. after the slow voyage Of %
days from Shields. Her master. Capt.
Robinson, was greatly astonished on
swinging to anchor off Liberty Island at
being hailed by two tugs. The tug cap
tafns announced that they had instruc-
lions to dock the steamer at once at
Boards stores, Erie Basin, and that she
was to get on big cargo before mid
night
The haste was due to the fact that
Peter Wright & Sons, the vessels char
terers. had engaged to load $500 tons OF
grain for European account. and that
unless it was loaded before u o'clock d.
m they would have to accept Novem Der
freights, involving a difference Of about
$4,000 on the cargo.
A big gang Of men set to work getting
out the sand and stone ballast onto bar
ges, and that work was completed at II
o'clock last night. The grain is to 20
in partly in bulk and partly in bags. and
it is being rushed in on record time A
little figuring shows that the vvorxof
getting that grain aboard in about "A
hours is worth to the charterers about

CUTTING DOWN PASSES.
Railroads Preparing to Curtaa Free
Transportation

General Manager J. J. Frey Of the
Santa Fe is in St Louis attending a
meeting of the executive officials Of all
western roads called for the purpose of
discussing the pass agreement for next
year The restrictions that are to be
thrown around the issuance of free
transportation by the western roads will
be outlined at this meeting, and all the
important features of the new pass
agreement decided upon.
For the past three years the western
roads have been curtaiIing the issuance
of free transportation more and more
each year, and a further curtafIuent is
expected to be provided for in the new
pass agreement At one time the term
annual pass" invariably meant a card
board provision for free TRANSFORMATION
over the entire line of railroad. but at
the present time it means in the ma
jority of cases simply a state annual.
The next step will be to limit the trans
pOrtatiOn to divisions, and the step after
that will be to cease its issuance alto
gether.

VANDALISM AT MT. VERNON
Increased Attendance Requires More
VigiIance-Pretty Girl Caught


Washington. Nov. Formerly Mount
Vernon. the home of Washington, was
not visited largely, except during the
warm months, although the excursion
steamer from Washington City ran most
of the year. Since the electric cars
have run direct from Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to the gates OF Mount Vernon, trav-
eI has materially increased, and resi-
dents and strangers flock daily and at
all seasons to the home and the tomb
of the Father of His Country"
The increased attendance renders
necessary the exercise of continued and
vigilant supervision to protect the
grounds, the mansion and its contents
from the depredatiOns of vandals and
relic hunters It is worthy of praise
that all the thousands who have visited
Mount Vernon have paid the respect or
quiet and orderly demeanOr, and there
has scarcely ever been the slightest tu-
slant evidence of desire to carry of
something from the mansion To pre-
vent this, an attendant is always pres
ent in any part or corner where there
are visitors, and where apartments
have not been absolutely fenced off
Even with the most diIigent care the
relic hunters manage sometimes to get
IN their work or very nearly so. A day
or two ago a handsome young lady with
a religious society badge pinned on her
bosom, talked so sweetly and gently
that the attendant took his eyes off her
for moment; but, turning rather sud
denly, he caught her with her sharp
knife in her hand cutting off a piece OF
one Of Mrs WashfngtOns curtains. He
saved the curtain, but Succum bed to her
as his police authority empowered him
to do.
