Senator Quay Dead.

Beaver, Pa, May %. - Senator
Quay's condition took an alarming
change for the worse at eight O'Clock
this morning. He is not expected "a
live through the day. He has been IN
stupor since q m. and this IL
growing more profound each hour.
Oxygen is being administered constantly
in hopes it will revive him, but DR.. VIII
son said at 8 O'Clock that he did not
think the Senator would regain con-
seriousness. DR.. Wilson thought the
end would come about shutdown OF
earlier. The immediate cause of his
condition is exhaustion due to inability
to assimilate nourishment. He has
taken no food since 8 q. m. Chronic
gastritis, an inflammation of the stomach,
is the foundation of the trouble.
At one o'clock this afternoon Senator
Quay was slowly sinking. He was in a
state of semi-coma. His temperature
was 1O41, his pulse 100 and his respira-
ton AZ. DR.. Litchfeld said he might
live one hour or eight hours.
: Beaver, Pa, May Ex-senator Quay
died at 2.48 p. m.
Matthew Stanley Quay, soldier, poll
tician, United States Senator, was born
in Dillsburg, York county, Pennsyl-
vania, September 80, 1888. He pre-
pared for college at Beaver and Indiana
academies and was graduated from JEFF
ferson College in 1850. In 1854 he was
admitted to the bar and began the prac-
tice of law. After his admission to the
bar he became prothonotary for Beaver
county. This was his entrance into
politics, after which time he was never
seriously out of the game. Quay went
to the war in 1861 as first lieutenant in
the Eleventh Pennsylvania reserves.
He resigned from the regiment and
occupied various staff positions. Alter
serving awhile as private secretary to
Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, he
was made colonel of the 194th Pennsyl-
vania. He served only five months in
the field. Quay was under fire at the
battle of Fredericksburg, but not at the
head of his command. He carried in
his haversack $35, 900 intrusted to him
by his soldiers to take home. Quay and
the money came through the battle I'M
hurt. That was the end of his military
career. He went back to Pennsylvania
and re-entered politics. He was elected
to the Pennsylvania legislature in 1864,
and his advance in political life was
rapid. Quay was first elected to the
u. s. Senate in 1885, and took his
seat March 4, 1887; was reelected in
1898, and was defeated 1899 for re-
election by reason of a deadlock which
existed throughout the session OF the
legislature. After the adjournment OF
that body he was appointed United
States Senator by the governor OF Penn
sylvania, but the appointment was not
recognized by the Senate. On the very
day OF his rejection by the Senate be
was nominated to succeed himself by
the republican state convention OF
Pennsylvania, and was reelected United
States Senator January Is, 1901. His
term of service will expire March 3,
1907.

Russians Forced Back-Port Arthur
to be Captured within Fortnight
Russian Line of Retreat Cut on.
London. May 2S.-Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese Minister to Great Britain,
has received a communication from
Toxic, which says that the commander
of the Japanese army which captured
Kin Chow and Nanshan has made the
following report: 'Our casualties num-
Der 8. 900. The Russians left 400 dead
on the field. On May 26th we cap
tured fifty guns beside large quantity
of stores. We occupied NankwaDlien
yesterday morning. the enemy, who
were driven toward Port Arthur burning
the railway station at Sanshlhlipao,
northwest of Dalny."
A telegram from Niuchwang says
that the japanese plan to capture Port
Arthur within a fortnight, employing
one hundred thousand men in the at
tack.
1t is realized the losses will be severe,
but it is thought this would be better
than to keep the army idle for three
months. The japanese plan of action
in Manchuria does not include an adj
vance beyond MukdeA.
Rome, May 2S.-A telegram from
Toxic states that the japanese forces on
the Lao Tung peninsula have attacked
Liu-Shintuo, on Talienwan bay, and
have seized the forts at the junction of
the Dalny branch and the main railway
to Port Arthur. The japanese have
thus intercepted the line of retreat which
the Russians driven from Kin Chow
would have to take 20 reach Port Arthur.
Niuchwang, May 2S.-A staff officer
who has arrived here from Mukden says
the deliberation and precision of the
japanese has surprised General Kuro-
patkin, the Russian commandments,
who believed the japanese campaign
would consist of dashing recklessness
and theatrical moves rather than cool
headed strategy.
Mukden, May 28.-An Internal ma
chine has been found in tunnel near
Hardin. Four men, afterwards found
to be japanese in disguise, were arrested
and a number of Internal machines were
found in their possession.
St. Petersburg, May 2S.-The Estskoi

VALUABLE statistics regarding strikes
and lockouts in the United States for
the past twenty years have just been
published by the House committee on
labor. They were secured during the
hearings on the bill to create a national
arbitration tribunal. The total number
of wOrkmen thrown out of employment
in that period on account of strikes
amounted to 6, 105, 694, orabout 800, 800
on an average each year. The wages
lost for the entire period amounted TO
S257, 1858, AIS. The loss to employers
was 1922, ISL, 12l. On account of lock-
outs the employees lost in wages S4S, Sl9,
745 and the employers lost $40, 927, 9SS.
Combining the figures for strikes and
lockouts, it is seen that the wage loss to
employees, as above stated, was, 1906, $50,
223 and the number of establishments,
involved 127, 442, while the number Of
employees involved in both strikes and
lockouts amounts to 6,6l0, DOL. These
figures show an average loss of 81, 400
to the employees in each establishment
and an average loss of SAC to each per
son involved. This vast sum of money
is entirely lost to all parties concerned
employees and employers-and if any
body was benefited by the strikers those
engaged in getting u the statistics failed
to note it. No; strikes do not pay.

SATURDAY EVENING. MAY %. 1904

President ROOSEVELT has made It
clear to the politicians that Secretary
Cortelyou is to be the chairman OF the
national republican COMMITTEES. There
was some doubt on the subject in the
minds of these politicians until Thurs
day when Mr.. Roosevelt announced in
the most definite and unmistakable man
ner that he had chosen Mr. CortelyOu
to manage the next campaign, and that
objections from Senators or from other
sources would receive absolutely no con-
sideration. From the political condl-
tons in several important republican
States President Roosevelt had learned
that the judgment and the politicaI
leadership of several of the prominent
members of the Senate are not infallI-
bic. and that his wisest course is to
trust to his own judgmentand to intrust
the management of his campaign to a
man of discretion and executive ability
rather than to some scheming politician.
A Senator who called on the President
to voice his protest against the selection
of Mr.. Cortelyou was told that Mr.
Cortelyou's selection as chairman is
closed episode. 1t is known that Mr.
Roosevelt also took occasion to express
his surprise that at this late date mem
hers of the Senate should be still back
ing and filling with regard to the cam
paign manager. The President has
made it plain that during the presi-
dental campaign none but Roosevelt
men shall be on guard.
