seated Montague delegates in each in

The convention reconvsned after s o'clock

from the race and A. j. Montague was
named for Governor by reclamation. j.

quarters from one of the Chicago lodges
last night. In discussing his terse telegram
one or the vice presidents OF the assoCia-
ton said 10 the writer: The reason they
want to see Shaffer is because they want
TO ask him a lot of questions. They nave
had the version of the New York confer
ence OF the executive board witt Schwab
and Morgan from Vice President Davis.
He has told them that President Shaffer
and Secretary Williams sigh ed q promise
10 use their utmost endeayor 10 secure the
adoption of the plan of settlement sub
nlitted July z by Morgan and Schwab.
They did not inform their associates upon
their return to Pittsburg that they had
signed any such an agreement. When the
written promise was read at the New
York conference by Schwab the other men,
bers of the committee were amazed. Shat
fer SAID he signed il as an individual and
not as an officer of the association. Al the
same time he said he repudiated 1t. This
was very bad for a business order. Davis
was disguised and said so, and that he
used his influence to prevent the Chicago,
Joliet and Milwaukee men from striking is
not strange to us. President Schwab per-
mitted US to use his private office as a
consultation room. He was outside. but
returned unexpected. He found one of the
officers Of the association making copies
of kilograms on his open desk. An ugly
scene followed. in which Schwab used bad
words. 1t was these petty, nasty things
which caused Morgan and Scnwab to lose
their tempers'

ATTORNEY FOR SCHLEY
ID RAYNOR, OF BALTIMORE,
SELECTED ny THE ADMIRAL.
MaryIand's Attorney Genera Thinks
the Case VIII Not Occupy as
Much Time M Expected.

BALTIMORE. Aug. lit is announced
here to-day that Isidor Raynor. attorney
general for Maryland, has been retained
as one of the attorneys for Rear Admiral
Schley in his coming hearing. being the
court of inquiry. Mr.. Raynor received a
letter from Admiral Schley on Sunday. in
which he was asked TO act as one of the
counsel in the case, and at once accepted
the commission.
Speaking of the case he said to-day:
Immediately on the receipt of Admiral
Schley's letter requesting me to become
one of his counsel in this case l began
an examination of the case. l had TO some
extent familiarized myself with the general
surroundings Of the controversy. but shall
now enter upon a study of all its details
and gather all the information o~btainable.
We have four weeks in which to prepare
for the hearing of the case. and in that
time l can readily acquaint myself with
all of Admiral Schley's movements and
those of his squadron from the time Ii left
Hampton Roads 10 the battle of Santiago.
and with the dispatches which passed from
the Navy Department to Admiral Samp-
son and from Sampson TO Schley.
When you analyze all the facts in this
case, as am trying now to do, you will
find that, with the exception of two
charges embraced in the precept-Admiral
Schley's alleged failure to destroy the
Colon and his alleged withdrawal twenty
five miles at night after the establishment
of the blockade at S~antiago-the whole
controversy covers a period of only nine
days, that is, from the time the Flying
Squadron left Key West for Cienfuegos
until it started back from Santiago by the
Yucatan passage for the purpose of coal
ing ships. | don't think. therefore. the
plated. as il will be the effort of counsel
and no doubt of the court to get right

In Line FOR A FIGHT
PHILADELPHIA DEMOCRATS Al THE
HARRISBURG CONVENTION.
Warm Prelude to an Otherwise Tame
Gathering Is Expected-DemOc-
racy of the r. f. VS..

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. H--The con-
test between the rival factions of the Phil
adelphia Democracy for recognition by to-
morrow's Democratic state convention is
attracting more than usual attention. Both
factions have filed complete lists of dele
gates, and the leaders OF each are pre-
pared to defend on the floor of the conven-
ton their right to admission. Repeated
attempts were made to-day by prominent
party leaders outside of Philadelphia to
restore peace between the discordant ele-
ments. but all their efforts were in vain.
The list OF delegates certified by the regu-
lar city committee, known as the Donnelly-
Ryan men. has been placed on the roll by
Chairman Greasy. This places the dele
gates certified by the young Democracy Of
Philadelphia in the position of contestants.
and forces them to take the initiative in
the convention for recognition. Ex-Gover-
nor Robert T.. Pattison is chairman of the
city committee, and will defend the right
of the delegates to seats on the floor. Elk
Judge James Jay Gordon. of Philadelphia.
will be substituted as a delegate to repre-
sent the young Democracy.
There is no contest for places on the state
ticket, and 1t is expected the nominations
will be quickly made and without friction.
Judge Harmon Yerkes, of Doylsstown, has
no active opposition for Supreme Court
judge. and his friends predict his nomina-
ton by acclamation. The nomination for
state treasurer seems TO be going a-beg-
ging. Capt. William Hasson. of Oil City.
and Representative Andrew j.. Palm. of
Meadville, were rendered the honor by
party leaders, and there is a proposition TO
effect fusion with the independent Repub-
leans on the state ticket by nominating
Representative Z. A. Coray, jr., of Luz
zerne, for state treasurer. 1t is conceded,
however, that the nominee for this office
will be a straight Democrat, and one who
will not consent to withdraw In the event
of a renewal during the campaign of an
attempted fusion.
The platform will be similar to the plat
form of the Ohio Democracy, and will
treat almost entirely OF state Issues. The
last Legislature will be condemned for the
passage of the rapid transit bills and the
Capitol bill.
The state executive met at
noon to-day and selected the temporary of
ficers OF the convention. Charles p. Dom
nelly, of Philadelphia. resigned from the
