FIGHTING QUAY.
Why Republicans Stayed Away From
the Cuurus.

Why Republicans Stayed Away From
the Cnmcus.
Harrisburg, Jan. 5.-The Republican
senator's and members who signed the
pledge not to take part in Tuesday
nights senatorial caucus organized yes.
terday to keep up the fight against Sena-
tor Quay until after the supreme court
has disposed of the Peoples bank con-
spiracy cases. A committee issued the
following address last evening:
In our present attitude we are
prompted by what we believe to be the
best interests of our party and state.
We believe that Republican senator
should and will be elected. and that no
combination of circumstances can pre-
vent it. We believe that the urques-
toned sentiment of the Republicans Of
the commonwealth is against taking
action that might result in the election
of a person as United states senator who
has been charged with crime before his
innocence is established in a court If
justice. and that the failure to determine
that question prior to this time is due
to the act of the alleged caucus nominee
in delaying trial and not to any act of
ours. We feel that in justice TO the
public and our own sense of self-resprct
and duty, we are justified in refusing to
be committed to any proposition that
might cast stigma upon our common
wealth, and our own integrity as citizens
and legislators.
"Feeiing that we are sustained in our
position by the unbiased sentiment of
the state, we deem it unwise To vote for
any person for United States senator
who is duly charged with crime so long
as those charges remain undetermined
We cannot Justify ourselves for voting
for any person for office who is indicted
for criminal offenses, and who simply
alleges that he is the victim of IL con-
spiracy. We believe that the public as
well as ourselves is not interested in the
motives of the person making the
charges. but rather in the truth OF the
falsty of these charges.
Entertaining these views we submit
our action to the unprejudiced judgment
of our elowcitizens.

Alaska will AstOnish World.

Washington Jan. 5.-In personal

w. l.. Diston of Ala ska speaks of the
mineral outlook Of that territory as fol-
ows: "The general cOncensus of opinion

The opportunities and possibilities will

Atlin district Is attracting considerable

MissFOster's BODdsman"Squawk


Boston, Jan. 5.-The case of Miss Mary
Pearson Foster, who has been arrested
twice on charges of obtaining money
under false pretenses was called in the
municipal court yesterday. The young
woman, who claims to be wealthy
heiress, on the occasion of her first ar
rest obtained bail, but this time she was
unable to obtain it. Thomas G. Bachel-
der was her bondsman in the first case,
and is also her counsel. Upon learning
that she had been unable to secure bail
in the second case, he surrendered her on
the first one, and the woman was held in
$4,000 on each charge for her appearance
in court next Wednesday. Miss Foster s
friends claim that she will settle the
loans on which the charges are based
when her allowance comes from New
