This angered Mr. Money, and taking the remark as a personal iunult he called Mr. Hull a "d liar." Then the fracas followed. Thu occupants of the room, know ing the shooting proclivities of the Money family, expected to bee him draw "a revolver, but he was probably loo much stunned by the blow to col lect his senses' beforu friends had him In charge.

Senator Quay left for Washington at l':ln this morning, resisting the importunities of his friends that he remain until after the Republican Slate convention. While he was here he was continually besieged by visitors and It was noec.s wiry for him to hide himself in order to obtain rest. 111? action in ilecid lug to succeed himself as statu ehalrm.in robbed to-day's convention of much of its interest. It Is generally believed, however, that he will reliuipiish tho chairmanship after the national con vention.

Year after year it has returned great majorities for the can didates ot that parlv, with no M'lflsh demands for recognition of any of its own eltlens as u national candidate. The thuu has come when the State which has no long and faithfully led the Republican column may justly and properly submit its own preference for the Republican nomination for the presidency. In the presentation of the Hon. MaUhew Stanley Quay, the Republicans not alone of Pennsylva nia, but of the entire Fnion. will rec ognize one of their foremost leaders, wise in council and brilliant and able in nctii n, ut once the type of thu American citizen, scholar, soldier and statesman." The i evolutions deelnre for a pro tective tarltrtiud reciprocity, protec tion for American shipping, praise thu financial legislation of the Republican party unit continue: "l'uithful to its record, believing that thu people are entitled to thu use of the best money and anxious to restore und preserve the industrial and commercial pros perity of the union, thu Republieam party favors international bimetal lism!! and, until thateau be established by general agreement, demands thu maintenance of the existing gold standard of value."

A., has rcturnciWroin Cincinnati very en thusiastic over the prospects for tin coming national campaign, in which he said that the A. P. A. would play a most important if not decisive part. When Linton's boom was mentioned Stevens said: "The statement attrib uted to Mr. llutina that he did not re fusu to meet our committee at Wash ington is maliciously false. We waited outside of his room for nearly im hour while Mi. Thompson of our com inittcu was pleading with Con- gicssman llrosvenor to Induce Mr. Htinna to see us. Hit- would not do it anil not only that, but virtually insulted the committee in the language of his refusal to meet it. Mr. Thompson was not the only one who went to him. We enlisted Ser-geant-at-Aruis II. F. Russell in our be half. He met with no greater success, and then Mr. Linton himself went to Mr. (Jrosvenor and was lobull'ed him self in u similar manner. The eon test which our organization is making against McKInliy's candidacy is not directed against him personally. Wo have no grievance against him ns u man, but wo are lighting him, anil will continue to tight him at the convention and nt thu polls, because his public tecord is not consistent w ith our standard of oillelal ehaiactcr. Mr. Linton is onu of the acknowledged leaders of our organization and will be our esndidate for the I'lesidentlal nomination at thu Republican con vention, nil repot ts to the contrary notwithstanding.

Aeeoiding to the ollleial report the llritish force, shortly after midnight, was quietly called to arms, and, with out apparently alarming thu native purl of the town, 100 men, under Cap tains Napier and Duncan, with one Maxim rapid lire gun, and a Hotehkiss quick tiring gun. belonging to the llagthip St. George, gathered oiuside of thu barbed wire defenses, wete served with a ration of rum unil started for a tltisli at the Matabcle lines. Swords and nil flattering lie coutieiueuts weie iluadened with cloth and thu feet of the horses of the ad vance guanl were eoveied with strong back'ng. About daw a the column ar rived within striking distance of the Mututieles who wcic quietly camped behind their stone topped earthwori.s, about four miles from lluluwavo. The Malabele pickets, although sur prised by the advance guard, rimed thu ahum and thu troopers in advance, charged and shot down many of thu llceing natives. '1 he main body of the troopers then galloped forward in line style to the support of their com lades. ISy this time it was getting quite light and tin Mntitbeles had sprung to tu ins nil along the line. As the llritish advanced Ihey were ie cuived by a bcattt ling rdle lire from behind the cai thworks, but the ad vance guard charged riht up to the mounds and spurted their horses over them lu beveral places, Mi.i:r rum ii.so ox iiotii sidks. Then the Matabeles charged in force und diove the advance guard back and, being met by the main body of troopers, firo was opened by thu rapid tire guns at about Km yards on thu .Matauele position. Tins was kept up until broad daylight, when it wus found that ammunition was be ing waste 1. Just previous to the general advance on the Matabele position, the two rapid lire guns were again set to work and for about ti quarter of an hour they wore muito to sweep the Mata bele position in fiout of the llritish force Then a charge was ordered and there was a ptolongcd period of sharp lighting at close quarters with pistols, rillus, shotguns, war clubs, bpeais and knives. Itoth sides fought bravely, though It was a e.isu ot a handful of well armed whites against a small army of badly armed Mata beles. GinJiiully the .Matabeles, pressed onward by sheer force of num bers, almost surrounded the llritish, who letreated, lightiug bravely. Ono Miiad for a time was quite cut olT.and only extricated itself by a brilliant charge through the Matubele cordon. Finally the British, very hard pressed, gave ground fast, but, rallied by Napier and DtuicMi, they again assumed the orteusive und drove back the swaims of natives under n well directed lire. Then a squ.id of trcop eis, charging with a cheer, threw the Matabeles into confusion and the llritish were apparently getting the upper hand and slowly forcing the enemy backwurd, when suddcnlv the retreat was ordered and the llritish moved back to lluluwujo. which place they reached, considerably the worse for w car and tear. iii:iioisi or 'j m: iiiinisii -moors. Much heroism was displayed by in dividual llritish troopers mid volun teers In reseuinp their wounded com rodes. One trooper 13 bald to have charged alone close up to tho Mata bole's works, to have picked up a wounded friend, drugged htm upon his saddle and retreated after emptying the magar.ino of his rllle at the enemy. Another trooper stood over a fallen comrade and. with the stock of his ritle, beat oil' the natives until both he nnd his ft lend wero rescued by a ehnrge of their comrades The lots of the enemy is sultl to have been very gieat. No correct estimate could bo' made, but the reports place thu number of Matabeles killed at be tween 100 mid I, ..(10. The linn of tho llritish is not stated, but it is believed to be more severe than the command ers at lltiluwayo are willlni' to admit. Thti IMcht Hour Wor I,iy. PiTrsiiriKi, Ph., April 2'..
