The Northern soldiers in the Philip
pine Islands want to come home. They

The Fight ON Quay.

Harrisburg, Pa, April 19.-The
day of the last senatorial ballot finds
all parties and factions lined up for n
deadlock to the end. The bitter feel
ing existing in the Senate was shown
when Henry introduced State treasury

tackled it as being intended to prejudice
both the jury and public in the trial OF
Senator Quay. Senator Finn went to
Merrick's seat while the latter was
speaking and was denounced by Grady
for interrupting him. This angered
Finn, and words were passed that al.
most led to blows. 4 statement was
made that the aergeanU at arms would
be called upon to seat Finn. Finn
shouted: What the he'll do ! Care.
The sergeant at arms may do it but you
can't" Senator Finn offered resolu-
tion to extend the session tVc weeks.
for the purpose o. 4aising revenue and
eiectiDs Senator. 1t was defeated by
n vote of 81 to g. The closing ballot Of

Hanna Coming Home.

London. Sept. 4.-Reiuvenated' by a
course of treatment at German baths
and a summers visit to Europe, United
States Senator Hanna has returned to
London for few days rest, previous to
sailing for the United States on board
the American line steamer st. Louis,
on Saturday next. Senator Hanna is
hurrying to Ohio to participate in the
opening of the Republican campaign at
Akron. ets
From a Conversation with Senator
Hanna, the correspondent here of the
Associated Press gathered that the zest
with which the senator is looking for
ward to the conflict in Ohio is due to
the fact that he recognizes that the
coming campaign will not only furnish
the reply to the question of the coun-
try's endorsement of the national adj
ministration. but that in the candidacy
of Mr.. John Mclean for the governor
ship of Ohio, there is an aspiration for
the second place on the Democratic
ticket with Mr.. Bryan. and. falling of
election, a future contest for the Unit
ed States senatYship from Ohio.

It was a crowd of 5000 that journeyed

Labor Gay. The pleasure seekers be-

early in the day, and each car brought
its load of living freight until the park
was comfortably crowded. The man.
agement had provided many things for
the amusement of those that went out
To begin with, everybody bought 10
cent ticket in the 5000 lottery. These
tickets were sold at the gate. They had
a coupon attached, and the drawing
for the cash prizes took place at night
and the holders of the lucky numbers
were awarded whatever their coupon
called for. The day was pleasantly
passed by those that went to the re-
sort. Many enjoyed the boating, while
others kept in the shade of the trees
and ate lunch and drank beer. OF
course, the festive game of chance man
was on hand, and he put up his usual
con talk of glittering wealth to be had
for mere song, and in consequence
some of the crowd parted with their
coin in a wild endeavor TO get rich in
a. hurry The lunch counters and other
refreshment stands did a good bust
ness. There was dancing in the pa
vilion at night. and the crowd Of spiel
ers danced to their hearts content and
the detriment of their collars. On; the
whole the day was a success, and the
crowd that returned home at night was
happy ore, even if it was fatigued.
