Quay in Another War.

The political situation in Pennsylvania
has an interest as wide as the country,
for the result of the three cornered con-
test now going on there inside the repub-
lican party will determine the future of
Senator Quay as a political boss. 1t will
also threaten the loss of several repub-
lican congressman. and under conditions
which may prevail this loss may turn the
next house of representatives over to the
democrats. There is a possibility, also,
that the fight may give the democrats
the governor andCthe legislature, as fights
Of this character have done in the past,
and that would mean a democratic sue
cessor to Senator PenrOse.
For number of years the Pennsylvania
republicans have been split into two fac
tions, regulars and insurgents, machine
and anti-machine, the former led by Sena-
tor Quay, the latter by John Wanamaker
and Charles Emory Smith, both of them
members of republican cabinets in recent
years. There is now third faction, for
the regular, or Quay, faction is split,
Quay leading one section, and his old
friend, Governor Stone. the other. the
insurgents indorse Quay's opposition to
the candidacy of Elkin, Stones man. for
governor, but do not go as far as to unite
with Quay in that opposition. The old
fight between regulars and insurgents, q
few years ago, was one of the bitterest in
deep scars it made have not yet begun
to heal. 1t caused a vacancy in the
United States senate for two years. and
almost disrupted the republican organi-
cation of the state. The present fight is
said to be more botter than that one, and
it would be difficult to overstate the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation. Friend against
friend, brother. against brother the con-
test is to the death, and it may involve
the supremacy of the republican party in
the state. The Quay men are trying to
prevent the nomination Of Elkin for
governor. After the convention, no mat
ter what the result, the warfare will be
renewed with increasing severity, and
thousands of republican voters will carry
it to the polls on election day. At first
blush it looks as if Quay would win IN
the state convention. and possibly elect
his man governor; but in the upheaval it
is conceded on both sides that several
republican congressman will be sacrificed

New York, May 3.-Whether the beef

The ice trust, because of its last sum

Marquis Townshend Badly Guyed on His Visit

Townshend the English peer, who &C
cording to a story started in England be-

ago, had advertised for wife, whose age
or personal appearance were not to be

peeresses, was to settle on the marquis
money enough to support the dignities of
his title, is back in town again. The
marquis has been doing Canada and the
west and he expects to remain in New
York about a month before he starts back
for the coronation. The story was started
to guy the marquis, and it has succeeded
all too we'll.
He has not found wife. The marquis
declares, moreover, that he has not been
looking for one, that the whole story of
his advertising for a wife was a hoax
and most annoying impertinence, and
that he has put the matter in the hands
OF his London solicitors to see what can
be done about it. '--t

marquis, that my name cannot be used
in vain With-aw-aw-with impunity.''

1900 Ft. Approach and Large Warehouse. Local Parties
 Interested.

Valdez Is tO have a large and connections wharf in the near fu- ture. and one that will meet the requirements of the large and in- crcasing business that is rapidly and surely coming to this city.
 At the next meeting of the City Council. Mes-rs. Adam Swan. | l.. Steele. of this place. P. D. Blodgett { of Kodiak and Capt. C. ]. JohanScn will apply for franchise to build a wharf at the foot of Keystone avenue.
 The new wharf iS to be 15OO feet long. 20 feet wide and the T will be lOOx3O0 feet in size with q warehouse ample enough for the business of the town. The ap- proach will extend across Front street SO that the high water will not interfere with traffic.
 While the above named gentle men are applying for the franchise, it Is understood on good authority that the Pacific Coast Steamship Company is behind the project and contemplate making Valdez the terminus of the run of their steamers or portion of them. IL is expected that the wharf will be completed ny inc first of June.
 The present wharf is inadequate for the fast increasing business. and it is almost impossible for the company to handle the compara- lively small business at the pres ent time. There is no doubt but that if the wharf is not completed in short time, the steamers will have to land their goods on lighters or the beach.

The Full Dress Bali.

The ladies of the town were in vited in the early part of last week to attend full dress" hail at the Moose hall on Friday night. and il being the. first occasion of the kind in Valdez, the ladies made great preparations for the affair. For several days before the event, the ladies could be seen at the various stores buying long sized gloves, low cut shoes. laces, frilis and all kinds of airy things and when they ar rived at the ball they looked mos charming and sweet.
 It had been noised about that a number of the Ward McAllisters had ordered full dress suits, and it was supposed that they would "shine" like Solomon in all hi, glory. But when they all appear from the smoking room for the first dance, a shout of laughter and groans went up from the ladies. for the boys were nearly all dressed in overhalls and jumpers as if just in from the trail.
 In order to make the surprise the greater, Walter White had pre- vious to the dance, called on sew eral of the young ladies in a full dress evening suit and all suspic- ion as to what the affair would re- ally be was allayed and the sur prise when they arrived at the hal. was complete. The boys wore their trail clothes during the entire even ing and next morning all were very sore from dancing in their moccasins. The affair was a com plete success and thoroughly en- joyed by all present.
