QUAY PULLING EVERY WIRE.
DEMOCRATS LIKELY TO STICK To
THEIR OWN CANDIDATE.

Effort to Prevent Fusion OF Demo-
Gratis With Anti-Quay Republic
canS-Agreement Made That Who
ever Receives Majority of Votes
Cast on Joint Ballot VIII BE the
Next Senator-Quay Takes PERSON.
al Charge.
Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 1.-THE selection
of a successor to Matthew Stanley Quay
in the United States Senate, has created
almost as much contention among the
Democrats in the legislature as it has in
the Republican ranks.
With the Democracy the question is
whether George A. jerks of Brookvile,
or Chauncey F. Black of York. shall be
the nominee of to-morrow's caucus in the
Supreme Court chamber.
With the Republicans it is the field
against Senator Quay, with neither fac
ton certain as to the outcome. The Re
publicans have a majority of "a on joint
ballot. and the only way the Democrats
hope to win is by split among the Repub-
hcans.
Senator Quay has a majority of votes
TO start with in his own party, but so long
as the anti-Quay legislators stand togeth-
er he cannot be reelected. While the
Democrats are divided on the selection of
candidate to be voted against Quay, they
agree that the senator will not poll any
Democratic votes.
The Senate and House will vote separ
ately next Tuesday and jointly the follow
ing day. Many of the legislators are pre-
dieting that there will be a deadlock, and
that a senator will not be elected until
after the trial of the Haywood CON
spiracy case in the Philadelphia courts.
An Interesting Agreement.
A new and interesting phase is placed
on the election of a senator by the general
agreement among the leaders that the man
receiving a majority of the votes cast in
the joint session of the legislature, will
be the next senator On joint ballot there
are 254 votes. A majority of these would
be 12S, therefore only 60 votes are neces-
sary to a choice, assuming that only 12S
or a bare majority are present
OF the 100 Republicans who voted in the
caucus last week, 9S named Senator Quay
as their choice. At that time it was
agreed that the action of the caucus was
binding upon all of those present, and
that Senator Quay stin lacked 10 of the
128 necessary to elect.
Under the condition as it really exists,
if a number of members are absent from
sickness or other causes when the joint
ballot is cast, it is possible that a much
smaller number than 12S viii decide the
| senatorship.
To Prevent Fusion.
1t is stated that a secret conference has
been held between the leaders of the Quay
faction and certain Democratic leaders,
with a view to preventing fusion on the
senatorship between the Democrats and
the and-Quay Republicans. The Demo-
Gratis, who took part in the conference,
will, it is stated endeavor to hold the
eighty-four Democratic members of the
legislature in line for a straight-out Demo-
crat, thus defeating the selection of an
anti-Quay Republican.
Senator Quay reached Harrisburg at
midnight from Washington to take per-
sonal direction of mis- campaign. Senator
Penrose came with him, and during their
stay they will be guests at the residence
of County Chairman Weiss.

BRIEF RELIEF FROM BEEF.
THE HORROR SHIP SENECA TAKES
UP A FEW MOMENTS.

Jeanette jennings Tells of the
Shortage of Supplies and Medi-
cineS-she Declares the Red Cross
Rendered Essential Service
Around SantiaGO-An Expert Chem
list Talks on Beef in GeneraI-Con-
sidered 1t Good.
Washington Jan. 11.-Mr Tnden, sec
rotary and one of the directors Of Libbey,
McNeaH e Libbey, timed meat packers
of Chicago; Arthur Meeker. p J. Conner
and George J. Brine of Armour & Co.
testified before the war investigating com
mission to-day. They described methods
of preparing meat, denied that chemicals
were used and said complaints were rarely
received.
Jeanette Jennings. a newspaper woman
and a volunteer worker of the Red Cross,
who was at Santiago on the supply ship
Texas, appeared at the afternoon session
and varied the monotony of the chemical
beef inquiry, by telling her experience as
a nurse aboard the Seneca, which she de
scrbed on its arrival in New York as
horror ship"
The witness said that contrary to the
testimony of numerous army surgeons,
the Red Cross did render essential aid to
the hospitals at siboney aud elsewhere in
Cuba, and that this aid had been request
ed by DR.. Lagarde, the surgeon in charge
of the beach hospital, and gratefully ac-
knowledged at the time.
Regarding the Seneca, the witness was
sent aboard her to care for the sick who
were returning from Cuba. Her descrip-
ton of the vessel did not differ essentially
from those of the correspondents and sick
who were aboard the Seneca on the voyage
to New York She said that except for
a single case of beef extract, the vessel
had not aboard it a single article for the
use of the sick.
Lack of Surgical Instruments.
The witness spoke of the lack of sur
gical instruments aboard and DR. Conner
who was conducting the eXamina.io lion,
asked what need there was for surgical
instruments beyond scissors and bandages.
The witness replied that one soldier, who
had nearly suffocated being shot through
the lungs, had fourteen ounces of liquid
pumped out of his thoraX as soon as they
could get him into Bellevue hospital.
Others she said, were almost as badly
in need of surgical attention
She said further that in spite of the
fact that the Seneca and other transports
were unified for the care of sick and
wounded. and were loaded to their utmost
for the home voyage, the Relief, which
was fitted to carry 800 sick, came home
Immediately afterward with only 125 "a
tents aboard her.
Fxpert on EmbaImed Beef.
The next witness was Dr. w A. At
water. a special agent of the agricultural
department, who was called as an expert
chemist on the subject of 'embalmed
bees."
The gist of DR.. Atwaters testimony,
which occupied some hours, was that he
considered the ordinary canned beef of
commerce. both corned and roast, excel
lent food. and about of equal value He
also considered refrigerated beef excel
| lent beef. and had never heard of cnemi-
calls. Other than salt and saltpetre, being
used in preserving any sort of meat to be
found in the general market.

Only last week we examined the beer
brewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, Wash, and it is a
perfect illustration of the quality of
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend, for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such a high grade
of beer is most beneficial in its use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that a beer of such superior eX-
celence is a very wholesome beverage.
Physician often have occasion to pre-
scribe pure beer for cases of debilita-
ton, and they can safely order this
beer made by the Capital Brewing
Company.
