SPECIAL Correspondence,


Washington, d. c.. Sept. 1S-The three
contested election cases which will prob
ably come before the senate this winter
all present unique problems for solution.
The most interesting of the three is Sem
ator Quay's attempt to secure seat by
reason of his appointment by the gov
ernor Of Pennsylvania. This is important
for several reasons. not the least of which
is the great Keystone boss desire for
vindication and rehabilitation in his
party.

wolves three other states-Utah. Cali
fornia, and Delaware. The governor of
California has already nominated a pro-
visiOnal senator. who will be sworn in
Immediately If the senate acts favorably
upon the Quay case. The governors of
Utah and Delaware have thus far made
no selections, but it is an open secret
that Governor Wells of Utah, will name
ex-Delegate George O. Cannon. This
selection would probably invite another
Roberts contest in the senate but there
is no doubt that he would be seated. The
senate is much more conservative than
the house, and Is not at all likely to be
influenced by petitions or resolutions or

VIII Quay be seated? Probably. It is
certain that the Republican leaders in
the senate are all very. anxious to see
all serenely confident that he will be
successful. Senators BoieS Penrose and
Congressman James Rankin Young of
Pennsylvania both ardent Quay men, are
in the city and they look upon his victory
as certain. Senator Penrose says he is
confident of the result from his knowl-
edge of the views of senators, and this,
against gubernatorial appointees.
Success Is Assured.
In fact Quay's case is likely to be made
partisan one and if that is so his sue
cess is assured by reason of the great pre-
ponderance of Republicans in the new
senate There has recently been a Re
publican state convention i'm PennSyl-
vania which endorsed the senator in un-
mistakable terms and urged his seating
by the senate. This convention demon
complete mastery of the Republican
organization in Pennsylvania. The dele
gates to the convention were elected by
his supporters. The slate which he select
ed was confirmed by the convention. He
was himself delegate elected from his
own county.
This fact will be cited to the senate to
prove that Senator Quay Is the choice
of the Republicans of his state and, that
they demand that he shall be seated upon
the appointment of the governor. Another
point faVoring his being seated is his
recent alliance with the administration.
Senators friendly to the administration
will be needed in the senate at the out
set. Senator Quay's Pennsylvania con-

self and the administration, thus identi-
flying him for the first time with the
strong supporters of the president. This
upon the result in his case, as the new
senate is certain to be particularly sub
servient to the administration.

long hunted man.
Satisfied that he was going to die,
and that no good could be accom-
plished by sending out a messenger
with the news at that time. Rigler
and his companions kept the matter
quiet. A few days after the confes-
sion was made Tascott grew sudden
ly better His host then saw there
was a chance for his recovery. but
did not put him under guard, as he
was apparently TO weak to make any
effort to escape.
The next morning Tascott was
missing, having left the camp in the
middle of the night. Rigler aud his
partners at once took the trail and
sent word to all the nearby camps,
but could get no trace of the missing
man. 1t was plain that he had not
taken refuge in any of the mining
settlements along the coast or in the
near. by interior.
Cape Nome is on the seacOast and
a long and fruitless search. Rigler
and his companions became cOnvinc-
ed that Tascott has made his way
out to sea in a small boat and board
ed some passing whaler or trading
vessel bound for the arctic. He would
hardly run the risk of remaining in
Alaska when his story was known ali
over the country.

Congressman NJ. f. Benton has
reached Washington and has taken
up his residence for the winter. In a
recent interview he said:
The general opinion is that the
banking element will demand of the
republican party pay for what they
did in the campaign OF 1896. The
tariff barons got their reward in the
Dingley bin and the schedules of the
war tariff, but the banking and bond
holding elements have not yet been
paid
Their demands probably will be
legislation for gold as the single
standard; for a refunding of all the
bonds outstanding into gold-bearing
bonds; to seriously curtail the legal
tender power of silver. to redeem the
silver certificates. and TO take up and
retire the greenbacks. But | doubt
| that even half this legislation will be
accomplished for three reasons:
First, the republican majority in
the House is very small. Some re-
publicans will want to take care of
thefr own hides and will protest
against such radical legislation.
Second, the party as a whole will
fear 20 risk such states as Indiana
on this question.
Third. the republicans would like
to hold part of this desired legisla-
ton over the parties concerned, in
order to make them cough up more
money in the next campaign. But

There is no one in the party in con-

W. II. Harvey who became widely known
as Coin Harvey during the last presi-

cal mission that will occupy several days
Mr.. Harvey merely says he came at the re-
quest of certain Nebraska leaders to con-
fer on matters of importance to the fusion
cause From other sources 1t Is learned
that Mr.. Harvey's presence refers TO the
contemplated amalgamation of the populst
and democratic elements in the Bryan
cause.
Mr. Harvey declared that the next ma
tional campaign will find silver still the
predominant issue, with the trust problem
close second. That Mr., Bryan will again
be the standard bearer Mr. Harvey consld-
ers a matter of course The only defec-
tion he discovers is in Wisconsin, New York
and some OF the New England states. In
these cases opposition will be met by a
strong movement in favor of Bryan, and IL
the REGULARS" attempt to send anti Bryan
delegations to the national convention the
Chicago platform democrats will send OPP
posing Bryan delegations. The threatened
opposition OF Carter Harrison in Illinois he
says, is pure fabrication. "Mr. Harrison

democratic candidate for governor of Hli-
nois."
