THE QUAY CONTEST
Possibility of a Tie on the Organi- zation of the senate-Snyder Sanguine That He Will be the President Pro Tem Spirited Rivalry For the Montgomery County eoronership.

Harrisburg, Pa, Nov 21-The inter- esting process of unmasking members
 of the senate and house who are doubt ful in their attitude toward Matthew
 Stanley Quay as a candidate for the United States senate continues Stall
 warts and insurgents have been as- slduously earnest in this smoking-out 1 scheme since election day, and each
 side professes to believe the net re- suits are in their favor. Outside 1t is not easy to get at the actual situa- tion, but the estimates heretofore made in this correspondence have not been
 seriously affected by the changes which have occurred since last week
 Upon the face of the claims and the
 counter claims, taking them for what they are worth, it is a close fight, just what has been consistently contended right along by those who are half way familiar with the attitude of certain members of the senate and house who have not yet declared themselves.
 In the original estimate on the sen- ate, which appeared following the cleo tion, the conclusion was that that body would probably be atie on the organ ization, assuming that all the demo- crats entered into a fusion against the quay men. At that time Sproul, of Delaware; Drury, of Luzerne, and Budke, of Washington, were placed in the doubtful list. This week Budke and Drury have been placed-one lin ing up with the stafwarts, the other with the insurgents. Senator SprouI has not publicly defined his position. and in the absence of pubic declara ton of Lhis Attitude. he is confidently claimed by the state administration people as one who will take part in the caucus and abide by its decision. Counting Sproul as a caucus republi- can would give the stalwarts twenty five, one short of the number required to organize. Adding Drury to the straight anti-Quay republicans makes their total twelve, and should the thir- teen democrats cooperate with the in surgents, the total would be twenty five, the same as the stalwarts. In all calculations of the stalwarts, they are banking upon four or five democrats in the senate who are alleged to be against any fusion programme. But democrat leaders close to Colonel Cuff fey declare that no democrat will dare do anything which will even savor of support of Quay. It would seem, how ever, from an exterior view of the sit uation that these few suspected demo- crats will about control the situation
 Quay men are declaring that Drury sold them a gold brick: that he prom ised a number of well-known repub- licans to abide by the decision of the caucus, and that, while he never said, he would vote for Quay. he gave all his friends to understand that he would attend the cauucs. They say statements will be shortly made to the public showing that Drury misrep- resented his attitude on the question of the caucus.

LADIES OF THE SACRED HEART.
The Centennial of the Pounding of the
 Order.

New York. Nov. 21.-In all portions of the world where there exists con- vents and academies of the Ladies of the Sacred Heart, known as the female Jesuits. the nuns and students today began a celebration of the centenary of their establishment. It was in the year 1890 that the order was founded in France, under the direction of Pere Joseph Varian, s. J., by Mile. Sophie Barat, for he Christian education of young girls. Mime. Barat continued at the head of the society for sixty-five years. She died in her eighty-fifth year, May 25. 1865, leaving no fewer than 100 homes and 4,000 members of her order, scattered over various parts of the world. The birthplace of the society. the convent at Amiens, is still occupied by the nuns, but in Mme Ba- rats time the mother house was re- moved to Paris, where it is now situ- ated on the Boulevard des Invalides. Now there are 141 houses and the mem bership has increased to 1000.
 In this country the order has con- vents in New York, Philadelphia, Chi cago. Cincinnati, Boston. Providence, Detroit, and many other leading cities. The present mother general of the nuns is Mime Digby, an Englishwo- man, who paid a visit of inspection to the American convents a few years ago.

STORY OF SUFFERING
Starvation Among the indians
 of Mesa Grande
The Extremes of Heat and Cold Con- spire to Cut Off Their Means of sustenanee-A Pitiful Appeal Has Been Made.

San Diego, Nov. 21.-Reports received in this city from the Indian reservation at Mesa Grande tell of terrible suffer- ing on account of lack of food among
 many of the old Indians, and in many instances where they are badly emacj- ated for want of food. The Indians are supposed to raise a big part of their sustenance from 1I5 acres of land suit able for cultivation within the reserva- tiOn. The low land is frost bitten, the high land is dry and last year there was nCd a bushel of beans raised though the acres were planted and cul- tivated. The corn was killed when it was yet green. the acorns dropped from berries were a failure. Much O' the wheat shriveled. The Indians have no wagons to haul wood and the coyotes eat their chickens.
 In a letter appealing to the charitable people of this city for aid for th7 Sc starving and destitute people, Mrs. Walker, teacher of the government school at Mesa Grande, says: T al- most forgot the children, poor little bundles of rags, in too many instances. Now that the cold winds blow, how are they to keep warm? Coats cost much money. The litItle babies are rolled up in an old apron, and no wonder that there are rows of tiny graves; that the death and birth rate are about eYtn.'

 The presents were exceedingly hand some and numbered about fifty, and for the most part were most useful and valua ble. The family of the groom, in Washington, had sent him a great many silver pieces, the most noticeable of which were several old family pieces received by his parents on their silver anniversary in 1876. The silver tea set presented by the directors of the board of trade is ex- quisitely neat and handsome.

He has been secretary of the board of trade and the Phoenix Li- brary association for something over a year and has been most energetic in looking after the interests of those or ganizatiors and all public affairs that have been placed in his care. The many friends of the newly welded cou- pie will extend to them best wishe s for long and happy lives.

DEMOCRATIC SCRAMBLE
The Mad Rush of the Party for Alp
 pointive Offices.

The democratic officers-ellct of this
 county are beginning to taste the bitter fruit of success, the clamor oftheir con-
 siftuents for appointive positions. Fol
 instance, there is Samuel Stout, the in-
 coming sheriff, who has at his disposal
 the salaried positions of a deputy sher-
 if and three jaffors. He can appoint
 as many deputy sheriffs as he pleases
 but all except the four just mentioned
 must depend upon fees and those ap- pointments are therefore less desirable than deputy constableships. It is those four salaried positions, therefore, Ehat
 the democratic party of Mdricopa county is after. MT. Stout's majority, according to the official count, was SIP. He is inclined to suspect that his vic
 tory was minimized by a republican board of supervisors; that his real ma . jority could not have been less than 1,O0o His suspicion is based upon the number of applications which have been made for those four salaried of fees '"To. the ,yictors belong the spells is an old democratic m1lto, but Mn. Stout finds a difficulty, not to say an impossibility, in equitably and satis- factorily dividing four positions among 2,2O0 voters who supported hm and 2,5O0 who claimed to have voted for him.
 It is generally understood, though, that w. A Mouer of Tempe is booked for tne so-called position of under sheriff, though as a matter of fact there is no such thing as underFherif in Ar izona It is further understood that at frt-o of Murray's officers will remain.
 The best office of all is that of clerk of the beard of supervisors, which is not permitted to go begging Those members of the democratic party who are not wanting to break into the sher- ifs office, and some WHO are, desire to become clerk to the board. T'hose most prominently mentioned are B. s. Russell. president of the Young Mems Democratic club, and Lee Gray, and It is said that Henry c. Orrle and Neri Osborn might be induced to serve the county and bolster Up their party in that capacity. The contest over this office has set the old sore caused by collision between the Young Mems Democratic club and the Jefferson club, bleeding afresh. The Jeffersonians say Anybody but Russell" The Young Democrats exclaim, Russell or mo- body"
 This is the only salaried office within the gift of the supervisors, buid there is an army of road overseers to be ap- pointed. It has been given out that a necessary qualification of applicants for any of these positions must be the possession of duly attested certificate that the applicant has been a voter for Andrew Jackson for president of the United States.
 There is at present a deputy clerk of the probate court and deputy assessor whose shocs some 1,500 good democrats desire to fill The filling of these of fees, however, is not mandatory. It may be done by the probate judge or the assessor, with the consent of the It has been given out by members of the party, though, that no appointments will be made to these positions unless the com ing legislature shall expressly create such offices.
