A BATTLE AT TIEN-TSIN SAID TO HAVE BEEN WON BY CHINESE FORCES UNDER GENERAL MA. REINFORCEMENTS NEEDED—NO WORD FROM PEKING The sitnation in China again bears an ominous aspect. A report from Tien-Tsin says that the allied forces there suffered defeat on last Friday, and no word has been received from the Europeans in Peking. The German Consul at Tien-Tsin sent word that the Chinese bombarded the city from July 3 to July 8. An attack on July 6 was repelled by Russian troops, «wo hundred of whom were killed. Advices from Li Hung Chang and from Vicerovs were to the effect that the legations were safe, and that the rebellion was gradually being quelled. Dr. von Mumm von Schwarzenstein was appointed Minister at Peking, to succeed the late Baron von Ketteler. This action is taken to mean that Ger many does not regard a state of war as existing between that country and China. The Chinese Government's view of the disturbances is given in an Imperial decree communicated to Secretary Hay by Minister Wu. ALLIESBEATEX BY CHINESE

SIX HOURS FIGHT AT TIEN-TSIN— ARSENAL RETAKEN. [{Coprright: 1900: By The New-York Tribune.] IBY CARBRLE TO THF TRIBRISNE.] IBY CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE.] London, July 12, 6 a. m.—The news from China this morning is of a disquieting charac ter. The Tien-Tsin correspondent of “The Ex press” states that the Chinese have defeated the nllied troops and recaptured the arsenal to the east of the city. The engagement lasted for six hours, and was fought with great de termination, but the defenders were handi capped by the lack of heavy guns and cavalry, and suffered great loss. The Japanese com marder has sent an urgent message to hurry up reinforcements, the allies being terribly overweighted and in imminent danger of a gen eral defeat The houses in Tien-Tsin bear striking traces of the siege they have undergone, and, accord ing to “Tha Express’'s” correspondent in Shang ha!, the Cossacks who came as rescuers are reported to have looted wholesale and to be more feared than the Boxers.

er A NT i TTI TAI 4X [BY CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE.] London, July 12, 1 a. m.—The resurrection of the German Min.ster at Peking had not been reported at midnight. This would be the final miracle requisite for converting China into an ideal topsy-turvydom of political opium eaters. There have been so many marvels already that practical men who are watching the transforma tion scenes at the palace at Peking, where the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have been restored to power after being Killed off by the rumor mongers, refuse to believe anything that i8 based solely upon Chinese authority. They assert that the Ministers and Sir Robert Hart would not find it difficult to communicate with the European consulates if Prince Ching’s army were fighting for them and the Emperor and Empress were concerned in protecting them. These croakers are wellnigh convinced by the failure of the Ministers to send runners to the Coast that gome catastrophe has happened which the authorities are trying to conceal until they €2n shift the responsibility for iz upon the ring leaders of the mob. This reasoning is not conclusive, since the Empress iz capable of playing off Prince Ching against Prince Tung, keeping Europe in sus Pense, and finally coming out on the winning Eide after the Powers have shown their deter mination to stand together and to restore order by military preparations on a large scale. FAVORABLE NEWS RECEIVED. Dispatches received yesterday reiterated the Previcus hulleting respecting the safety of the %0 legations on July 2 and the gradual weak ning of the Boxers’ attack. These came from Shanghai and Shan-Tung, and the news in each instance had been communicated by the Viceroy 10 the Consuls. The Chinese Minister here is 2i80 reported to have received a long official dis Paich of the most favorable nature, which he bas laid before Lord Salisbury. The uncertainties of the situation will not be Qispelied until the Ministers themselves explain What has happened, but when all contradictions and probabilities are balanced there is a 800d margin for the belief that the Boxer Movement is subsiding and that the le 8alicns are safe. The Imperial authorities &re clearly trying to create the impression It the provinces that the revoit is going @own and that the foreigners must be protected. may be a crafty device, but it is probable te: it js the truth. Contradictory messages Were received by the Viceroys when there was E struggle for supremacy between the two fac tons, but they are evidently convinced that the press Dowager is still in the saddle, and that $he does not consider it safe to ride roughshod Over the foreigners.

(By The Associated Press.) London, July 12.—The Chinese situation again bears most ominous aspect. Eighteen days ago Sir Robert Hart dispatched his last mes sage, declaring that the situation was desperate, ‘and since then no word has come from the Euro peans in Pek ng. According to “The Daily Mail's” Shanghai cor respondent, Li Hung Chang has received an im perial decree ordering his immediate departure for Peking, presumably to break the news of the Peking tragedy to the European Fowers and, in his usual role of negotiator with Europe in difficult matters, to endeavor to act as mediator and to avert the vengeance of the Powers.

To add to the grimness of this suggestion, all advices from Tien-Tsin tend to confirm the re ports of the perilous condition of the allied forces, and belie the optimistic Chinese rumors. Unless reinforcements speedily reach Tien-Tsin another disaster may be expected. “The Daily Mail's” Tien-Tsin correspondent, telegraphing on July 35, says: The situation is about as bad as it can well be. I only trust that we shall not soon want relieving ourselves. A forward movement is im possible. From thirty thousand to forty thou sand troops are wanted, and there are only ten thousand here, The foreign troops are working well together, but it is inconvenient that there is no supreme commander. In some quarters the feeling is. “Let us rescue Peking and then clear out in favor of Russia.” Other Tien-Tsin correspondents say that no advance is possible until September 1, and ex planations are being asked by the papers here 6f the tardy action of Japan in sending troops, since it is known that she was ready and willing to send them, and that Russia raised no objec tion to her doing so. It i= hinted that a d4iffi culty arose as to the manner in which Japan was to be reimbursed for her heavy outlay. Rumors are current that Japan demanded the cession of a Chinese port. The Russian papers report that the Boxers are ravaging Manchuria, and have damaged sixty miles of the railway, threatening Telin

and Kirin, while Port Arthur and New-Chwang are said to be endangered. Russia therefore has notified to the Powers her intention to dis patch a large military force to Manchuria. All kinds of stories come from Shanghai which it is impossible to verify. It is stated that the Boxers have murdered the Chancellor of the Peking University and sixty of the members of his family and retainers. A confidential officer of General Yung Lu, dis guised as a Boxer, is reported to have crept into Prince Tuan’'s tent while the Prince was sleep ing, with the intention of stabbing him. He was caught by the sentries, so the story goes, and decapitated on the spot. His head was sent, with Prince Tuan’'s compliments, to Yung Lu as a warning to him to beware. The French Consul at Shanghai has news that the Chinese Prefect at Moukden himself mur dered the Catholic Bishop Guillon in his yamen. Besides Bishop Guillon, Fathers Crunoet, Corbel, Borguois and Veuillemot and two Sisters of the French mission and numerous native Christians were massacred. London, July 12.—The Shanghai correspond ent of “The Express” gives the text of a long edict of Prince Tuan dated June 23 and ad dressed to the Chinese Ambassadors, which, “The Express’ declares, is identical with the message from Emperor Kwang Su mentioned by the Shanghai correspondent of “The Daily Mail,” and with the Chinese edict published in Washington. “The Express” considers that the edict proves that Prince Tuan’s party is mak ing no attempt to disguise the fact that the worst that could be anticipated has happened. The edict contains the following paragraphs: The anger of our people knew no bounds. They could not be restrained. The task of guarding the legations, which before was diffi cult, was made impossible. Elsewhere, referring to the desire to pro tect the legations stiil unharmed, it says: If it is impossible for us to continue this pro tection, let it be represented to the Fowers that we must be held blameless, for the anger of our peopie grows with the rising of each sun that sees more and yet more foreigners and soldiers coming to overrun and lay waste our country end slav our people. Shanghai, July 11.—The Governor of Port Arthur telegraphs that forty thousand Man churian troops were within nine miles of New Chwang on July 7, and had destroyed the Rus sian mines. They were engaged by a small force of Russians.

SAALE’'S HORRORS GROW, THE WRECK FLOATED AND TWENTY FOUR MORE BODIES FOUND. FIFTEEN PERSONS DROWNED IN THE STEWARD’'S ROOM AFTER THEY HAD ESCAPED THE FIRE. ESCAPED THE FIRE. Twenty-four bodies were recovered from the hold of the burned steamship Saale yesterday, which makes the total number of dead taken from this ship alone sixty. After the ninth body had been brought up the man at work in the hold in the search for bodies announced that he had counted fifteen piled in a heap in the steward's room. The door of this room was found locked. The fire did not get near the unfortunate fifteen, and their lives might have been saved but for the breaking of the glass in the windows. When the windows were broken the room filled with water, and they were drowned like rats in a trap. These bodies were in a better state of preservation than the nine found before them.

Most of the bodies were so badly burned or mutilated that recognition was impossible, but several were identified by initials or names on articles taken from parts of clothing that some times remained. All of them appeared to be of workmen in the holds of the steamship. Great pumps were worked in the Saale yester day, and by 2:20 p. m. the vessel was floated. The ship was in nine or ten feet of mud, and when she finally freed herseif from this bed she seemed to jump up fully two feet. Tugs under took to swing the stern of the Saale around toward the middle of the Bay. A mud bank on her starboard side resisted, and after an hour's tugging the attempt was abandoned. The ship probably will have to be towed out backward over the course she came in. SIXTEEN OF THE BODIES TAKEN OUT. The first body was that of a woman. It had been so badly burned that only the corset re mained of her clothing. There was nothing to ald in identification. It is believed that she was employed in the stewurd’'s department. The second hody brougPt up was that of a man. In his pocket was a letter, of which noth ing was decipherabie but the address of Emil Schmid, of Xo. 119 Hudson-st., Hoboken. a saloonkeeper. It was near the steward’'s cabin. The third body brought to the deck was iden tified as that of A Kleen, a steward. The iden tification was made from the name on the cover of a tobacco box found in his pocket. The cover also had the date, “Christmas Day, 1894." A memorandum in the pocketbook of the fourth body bore the address. “Johann Diedrich Nicolaus Wiese, born June 27, 1836." and showed that the owner of the memorandum was a carpenter on the Saale. The fifth body was that of a woman. who was clothed It is believed she was a stewardess. There was nothing to indicate her name. The body was in a room used by the stewards. She had been drowned. It was thought her body might be identified. The sixth body was that of a man believed to have been employed as a “scrub steward.” A ticket made out by the North German Lloyd Company to a scrub steward. no name being given, was found in his pocket. A ring on the finger of the seventh hody hears the name of “W. E. Miller,” a ship carpenter who was lost. The body answers the description of Miller and there is no doubt that the body was his. The eighth body had tattoo marks on the arms and breast. [It was that of a fireman. The clothing of the ninth body brought up showed that he was a cook on the Saale. There was nothing to indicate his name. The tenth body was that of a man. It was nude and had no marks of identification The eleventh body was that of a woman. She wore a blue wrapper and was fully dressed. A wedding ring she wore has the initials “R. W. 1894." The twelfth body was that of a man, evi dently a steward, who wore a tin badge with the initials “I. R.” There was nothing else to show who he was. The thirteenth body was that of a coal passer. A knife was the only thing found in his pockets. The fourteenth body was that of a large man, hare to the waist, a coal passer. The fifteenth body was that of a coal passer. He carried a watch and chain and a bunch of keys. There were no address or initials. The sixteenth body brought up was that of a woman. She wore a wedding ring. on the in side of which was "“B. Peitsch, 1800." THINK ALL THE BODIES FOUND. The supply of coffins gave out after eleven had been filled. Five more bodies were laid upon the deck of an after cabin and covered with blankets. It was then nearly 7 o'clock. Coroner Hoffman said he would not stop until all the bodies had been brought up, but his workmen said they could not see. There were eight more bodies, ac- cording to the report of the Coroner's men, in the steward’s oom. How many more there were in the ship no one could tell. It was be lieved by the workmen that all had heen found. Coroner Hoffman said he would take the bodies or as many of them as he received boxes for to O’Donneil’'s Morgue in Hoboken, The bodies were disinfected under the supervision of Dr. Samuel A. Helfer, of the Hoboken Health Board. William Schaeffer, the first officer, and Emil Sander, the second officer of the Saale, were on hand to assist in the identification. The faces of all the dead were distorted and swollen beyond natural resemblance. The odor of the bodies pervaded the ship, and was de tected on the Jersey shore when the wind shifted that way. The work of the wrecking company may be finished to-day or to-morrow. RELIEF OF FIRE SUFFERERS BEGUN. The committee appointed by Mavor Fagan to distribute funds subscribed for the re lief of the sufferers from the North German Lloyd Company fire began its work vesterday. The most prominent people of Hoboken, among them Mrs. C. B. Alexander, of Castle Point, are visiting the distressed homes personally and ministering to the needs of widows. The distress consequent upon the fire is not as great as was at first supposed, and generous subscriptions from Hoboken, New-York and Brooklyn will, it is believed, amply provide for a2!

i the campaign IN CANTON. Canton, Ohio, July 11.—The campaign of 1900 in Canton will not be a duplicate of the cam paign of 1806. It is not the present intention of President McKinlev to make speeches to dele gations which may visit Canton in the summer and fall, even if he remains here all the time. i He will he so much occupied with public busi ness that he will have little time to devote to Four years ago he was a private citizen, and as the candidate of his party felt a larger number of people will be present. justified in taking an active part in the cam paign. Now he is President of the whole peo ple. and feel: that he should give his attention to the many public questions pending and con stantly arising. He intends, therefore, to con fine his part in the campaign to his speech to morrow and his letter of acceptance. Many clubs, delegations and deputations have asked when they can be received by the President. The replies to these messages have said that the length of the President's stay in Canton is in definite, and that he can make no appointments for the reception of such delegations. Those who call to pay their respects will be received at times when the President is not engaged, as they would be were he in Washington. But he will not make speeches from the front porch to visiting delegations. PREPARATIONS FOR NOTIFICATION. i Preparations are completed for the notification to President McKinley of his renomination. Two large flags, one covering the upper portion and the other draped over the awnings of the Presi dent's home in North Market-gt.,, are all the dec orations that will meet the eyes of the visitors. Back of the house a large tent has been put up, and here the Notification Committee will have luncheon after the ceremony is completed. The speaking will take place from the famous front porch of the McKinley home, unless the weather Prevents, in which case the opera house will be used. Canton is preparing for a largs crowd. Many people can reach this city to-morrow, take part in the ceremony and return home at night, and clubs and other organizations, as well as individuals, are taking advantage of the opportunity to be present. The members of the local committee having charge of the arrange ments say the notification wiil be much more of an affair than it was four years ago, and that The

i

Notification Committee and the survivors of the President's regiment, the 23d Ohio, and a num ber of prominent Republicans, are to have places of honor. It is probable that a number of speeches be sides those of Senator Lodge and President Mc Kinley will be made. Senator Hanna, Senator Fairbanks and Representativ> Tayler, of this Congress district, are to be called on for short The business houses of Canton are to e closed for part of the day, to give em ployes an opportunity to take part in the demonstration in honor of their townsman. Postmaster-General Smith reached Canton at 10 o'clock. and will remain until after the noti fication. Secretary Cortelyou met him at the station. and took him to the President's home. President McKinley shortly before luncheon took a walk of several blocks, accompanied by the Postmaster-General and Postmaster George B. Frease. Senator Clark, of Wyoming, accom panied by a party of Hawaiians, arrived in the afternoon for a call, and Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, arrived this evening, and is to be a guest of Judge Day. The Controller of the Cur rency and Mrs. Dawes arrived to-day, and are being entertained at the Day home. POSTMASTER-GENERAL ON CAMPAIGN. “You can say that we of the East are pleased with both conventions,” said PostmasterGen eral Smith, when asked to speak of the poli tical situation. “What kind of a campaign do you expect?” was askead. “I look for an active and earnest campaign all along the line, with much speaking. The general speaking, I do not think, will begin much before September 1, but between now and then there will be occasional addresses by Mr. Roosevelt and possibly some others.” “Along what lines do you expect the campaign to be fought?” “I think the contest will virtually settle down One of these, probably the chief one, will be the currency question. The Demo cratic Convention has made it so. They re fused to accept _he verdict of four years ago. They have proclaimed their stand for silver, and the battie of four years ago on that question will have to be fought over. There is no such issue as imperialism. That is a fiction. There can be no imperialism in a free country. But the ques tion of upholding and strengthening the Govern ment in dealing with the issues growing out of the war and the new people brought under our care and protection is an important issue, and will figure conspicuously in the campaign.” i “To what extent will the trust question enter into the campaign?” “Not to a great extent. addresses. to two issues. To my opinion, that is a business question rather than a political issue, and the Republican party has declared in favor of such legislatign as will correct any evils that may exist and control harmful com binations as clearly and as forcibly as any party can in honesty and fairness.” “What of the present situation in China?”

“It seems to be clearing. We are hopeful that it has improved; we have not had definite com munication, but reports indicate the safety of the Ministers on July 4 or 5, and if they were safe then there is reason to hope that they are still safe. hope of ultimate relief.” Every day they hold out adds to the “Do you think the Chinese questicn will enter into the campaign?’ “No, I do not. It cannot become an issue. The Government is doing nothing more than any Government must do to protect its people. We have emphatically and continuously disclaimed intention te do anything else.

There is to be no great public demon stration, but most of the people in Oyster Bay will climb Sagamore Hill to witness the ceremonies if possible. Flags are to be hung out, and the day will come pretty near being a holiday, but there will be nothing formal. When the train arrives here a local liveryman, who has taken the con tract, will have coaches on hard tec convey the committeemen and the invited guests out to the Governor's home. He had to call on all the livery men in the neighborhood for coaches. The response of the Governor is said to be ready, and to be brief but comprehensive After that there will be refreshments, and the party will be the guests of the Governor, and they will return by the special train in the afternoon. On Friday the Governor goes to Mineola to lay the corner stone of the new Nassau County Court House. THE NEW EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. PROBABLE APPOINTMENTS BY CHAIRMAN HANNA-TWO PLACES YET TO BEE FILLED PROBABLE APPOINTMENTS BY CHAIRMAN HANNA-TWO PLACES YET TO BEE FILLED Cleveland, Ohio, July 11 (Special).—This city is full of prominent Republicans to-night. Most of them are members of the Notification Com mittee to go to Canton to-morrow to inform the President. Others were called here for a meet ing of the newly appointed Republican Na tional Executive Cominirtee, the members of which Senator Hanna will announee Friday just before its first meeting. According to Vice Chairman Henry C. Payne, of Wisconsin, the new Executive Committee will be made up as follows, leaving two vacancies to be filled:

Senater HANNA, chairman. HENRY C. PAYNE, of Wisconsin, vice-chairman, CORNELIUS NX. BLISS, of New-York, treasurer. JOSEPH H. MANLEY. of Maine. RICHARD C. KERENS, of Missouri. CRABEME STEWART, of Illinois. Senator N. B. SCOTT, of West Virginia. HARRY C. NEW, of Indlana. Colonel MYRON T. HERRICK, of Ohile. “Senator M. 8S. Quay, of Pennsylvania, will not again be a member of the Executive Committee from his own desire, and Pennsylvania will probably not be represented,” said Mr. Payne. “The Southern States will be represented by men from Missouri and West Virginia. No member outside the National Committee will be placed on the Executive Committee, if possible. Ne braska will probably not be represented, for the reason that the Republicaas who would be ser viceable on the commitee must devote all their time to their own State. I don't think Senator Fairbanks will succeed W. T. Durbin, of Indi ana. Harry C. New is here, and he will proba bly be the man from Indiana. Graeme Stewart, of Chicago, will undoubtedly succeed Charles G. Dawes. Mr. Stewart is also here. Cornelius N. Bliss will again take a place on the committee, and will be treasurer. Joseph H. Manley, of Maine, will remain en the com mittee, but, as he is chairman of the State Com mittee of Maine, it would be impossible for him to succeed Congressman Dick, of Ohio, as secre tary. The Ohio member, Colonel Herrick, who will probably succeed George B. Cox, is likely to be chosen as secretary. Richard C. Kerens, of St. Louis, and Senator Scott, of West Vir ginia, will be members.

Nor did they think the subsequent action of Mr. Croker in flinging the support of the New York delegation to Mr. Hill as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Vice-President had healed up the breach between the two men. Mr. Hill did not desire the nomination. The attempt of Croker and Murphy te force it upen him was akin, therefore, to their coercing him to accept the nomination for Governor in 1886, when it was clearly apparent that he could met be elected. Foreseeing that Mr. Bryan could not be elected President, it was sought to im volve Mr. Hill in his defeat by bringing about his nomination for Vice-President.

Mr Hill was not grateful; in fact, he consid ered it an additional indignity that Croker did not respect his wishes regarding the VicePresi dency. It galled Mr. Hill to be shut out of all participation in the framing of the party plat form. Then Croker had had the impudence to suggest that he (Hill) should second the nom ination of John W. Keller for Vice-President, a proposal indignantly declined by Mr. Hill Mr. Hill returned to Albany. however, satis fied that he had outmaneuvred Croker at Kan sas City. He also could not be insensible to the fact that he had rehabilitated himself in the eves of the Democrats of the other States of the Union by seconding the nomination of Bryan, and yet he believed that he had retained the support of the conservative Democrats of New

York State by his opposition to th adoption of the plank pledging the support of the Demo cratic party once more to the doctrine of the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. HILL IN GREAT DEMAND. The fruit of his swallowing Brvan and the Demeoeratic platform is already visible in the in vitations which have come to him from other States to make addresses there while the pelit ical campaign is in progress this fall. Mr. Hill received many of these invitations while he was on his wav home from Kansas City. He has already accepted invitations to speak in Indi ana and Illinois, and may also make a political tour in Ghio. Senator Daniel, of Virginia. would also like to have Mr. Hill make speeches in that State.

The political tour of Mr. Hill in the Western States, in the judgment of many Demoeratie politicians, will! make him a prominent candidate for RL Demeecratic nomination for President in 1008, They acknowledge that Bryan is already bearen, and say that Hill was the most popular Democrat at the Democratic National Conven tion this year, and therefore will have a goed chance of being nominated for President four }a vears from now. Mr. Hill, however, would like, if possible, long before 1904 to get the State Government of New i York in his control. Willi Mr. Croker permit Mr. Rill to gain possession of the State Government by bringinz about the nomination and election of some friend of Mr. Hill as Governor? Poli ticians here doubt if he will, and therefore pre dict another struggle between the two men at the approaching Demacratic State Convention. Mr. Croker and Edward Murphy, jr., up to the very Nas of the assembling of the Democratic State Convention in 1598 pretended that they would acauiesce in Mr. Hill's project to nom irate a rural D>mocrat for Governor. But at a conference between Mr Hill, Mr. Croker and Mr. Murphy on the night before the nomination was to be made the two latter proposed that Augustus Van Wyck should be named, and the

former, quite naturally, opposed such a nomina tion. Croker and Murphy prevailed, nomirated Van Wyck, and conducted him to defeat. CROKER AND VAN WYCK. It may be mentioned here in passing that the prominence Croker has recently given to Au gustus Van Wyck leads some people here to sus pect that the Boss of Tammay Hall intends to nominate Mr. Van Wyck once more for Gov ernor. Friends of Mr. Hill who have heard this suggestion made have thereupon said hotly: “It does seem as if Mr. Croker has made a deal with Senator Platt, by which the former is to have centrol of New-York City and the latter of the State Government. Croker's in sistence upon a 16 to 1 platform at Kansas City may be part of this deal with Mr. Platt. In any case, Croker seems to be doing his best to give the State to the Republicans.™ Mr. Hill, however, is not quite so heipless against Croker and Murphy as he was in ISOS, for at the recent Democratic State Convention he largely increased the number of his followers in the ranks of the Democratic State Commit tee. “And these Hill Democrats in the State Committee,” said a friend of Mr. Hill a few days ago, “are all fighters.” The State Committee may take a predominant part in the shaping of the roll of delegates to the Democratic State Convention. Where there are contesting delegations a State Committee can exercise quite a liberty of choice and select its own friends as the persons to be put upon the temporary roll Already Mr. Hill has shown his power in the Democratic State Committee by having it eleer his personal friend Frank Campbell as its chairman. Then Mr. Campbell, at Mr. Hill's sug gestion, has appointed Mayor James K. McGuire of Syracuse as the chairman of the Executive Committee of the Democratic State Committee. Mr. McGuire showed his ardent friendship for Mr. Hill at the Democratic National! Convention by supporting him at the meeting of the New York delegation for member of the Committee on Resolutions. Mr. McGuire made the chief speech in Mr. Hill's behalf. In Syracuse Mr. McGuire has shown himself to be a great vote getter. He is also a shrewd politician.

Croker should put forward a Tammany Hall candidate. In the interior of the State there will be several Democratic candidates for the nom ination for Governor. Among them will be ex Judge Robert Earl, of Herkimer; Frederick Cook, of Rochester; Senator Mackey, of Buffaly; 5 B. Stanchfield, of Elmira, and Elliot Dan orth. Mos: Democratic politicians think that if Mr. Hill can have his way ex-Judge Earl, of the Court of Appeals, will be nominated for Gov ernor. He is seventy-six vears old, but a strong man and mentally alert, and the Hill Demo erats think they could elect him Governor if he received the nomination. ALBANY MEN NON-COMMITTAL. Albany, July 11 (Special).—Democrats in the Capitol City while admiring the stand exSen ator Hill has made. and supporting him as egainst Mr. Croker, will not talk for publication in any decided manner. State Committeeman P. BE. McCabe, the recog nized leader of the Democracy of Albany Coun ty, who accompanied ex-Senator Hill to Kansas City and is intimate with him, said: “The nom ince of the Democrats will not he a New-York City man. The next Governor will be an up the State Democrat. It is tco early in the campaign to name the possibilities.” Mr. McCabe would not express an opinion on the candidacy of Con troller Coler, nor would he say that he would be acceptable to up the State Democrats. Neither would he talk on the Hill-Croker feud. HILL STRONG IN BROOME COUNTY. JUDGE DOWNS SAYS CROKFER WILL “GET BADI.Y FOOLED.” HILL STRONG IN BROOME COUNTY. BADLY FOOLED.” Ringhamton, N. Y.. July 11 (Special).——A con gensus of opinion shows that Hill has the con trolling hand in the Broome County Democracy in this city. Croker's friends have repeatedly met defeat at the caucuses and conventions this vear This state of affairs is a complete change about from last year. Judge F. W. Downs has just returned from thes Kansas City Convention. He says: Croker is not satisfied with controlling New York City, but he wants to get his hand into State and National affairs. He will get badly fooled if he tries it, and at the next State Con vention, with the Tammany dictator in the whirl, you can look for a pretty warm time. Up-State people won't allow his, presumption, and if he does not know enough to keep home, look out for trouble. Danforth will be a candidate for Governor, and I should not he surprised to see him get it. although Coler, standing so close to Hill, makes Coler a powerful candidate. County Chairman C. E. Hait and State Com mitteeman Charles F. O'Brien are called Hill men, and they are said to be looking for a har monious campaign so far as the two leaders are concerned, Mayor Jerome De Witt has not thoroughly canvassed the situation, but, judging from the present outlook, he says Hill certainly has the support of the majority of the party in this section. Cortland A. Wilbur, candidate for the nom fnation of County Judge, ssyvs: Everybody in this part of the State is for Hill The same is true throughout the State outside of Manhattan. No organization work has yet been commenced. Indeed, there is no need of im mediately commencing such work. In the event of there being a fight over the Governorship, Hill will earry the Convention, unless Croker can secure some of the now hostile up-State Aistricte sia EFFECT OF OPPOSITION. ONLY HELPS TO MAKE HILL MORE POPU. LAR WITH THE PARTY. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., July 11 (Special).--James WW. Hinckley, ex-chairman of the Democratic State Committee, said: Before the Democratic Convention took place at Kansas City 1 predicted that if any opposition was shown to Mr. Hill by Tammany it would be the means of making him a very popular mai. I have also cited that ‘when this opposition was made to such men as Tilden, who was nominated for President: Cleveland, who was not only aom inated twice, but elected twice, it invariably turned out that they were made more popular than cver. In Mr. Hill's case 1 would say that as long as any such opposition is made to him his game will come up in every Democratic convention. Richard E. Connell, Editor of “The News-Press," and who represented Mr. Hinckley at the Con wention at Kansas City last week, corroborated Mr. Hinckley's statement, and added: The Democratic National party will never tol erate any effort made by Tammany to destroy the influence that David B. Hill has. The more pro nounced this opposition is the more popular it is sure to make Mr. Hill. History will surely repeat ftzelf. KEAHON'S MEN LOCKED OUT. JAMES W. BOYLE WINS AN INNING IN THE VIITH DISTRICT TAMMANY FIGHT, The fight between James W. Boyle and P. H. Keahon for the Tammany leadership of the VIIth District advanced another round last night. and ended in Boyle getting the better of the encounter, Bayle is the leader of the district, but Keahon for some time past has been trying to take the honor away from him. A meeting of the Tammany organ ization of the district was called for last night by Boyle to ratify the nomination of Bryan and Stevenson. Keahon heard of it, and sent word to his followers to turn out in force to help him to capture the meeting. Boyle in turn was informed of Keahon's scheme, and he promptly «ailed the meeting off. Keahon retaliated by issuing notices to the effect that the meeting would take pince as arranged, despite Boyle. Accordingly Keahon and his supporters made their way to the meeting nlace, at No. 340 West Fourteenth-st., jast night, but when they reached there they found the doors locked against them. The Keahon crowd clamored for admittance, and threatened to force their way in, but the doors were not opened. and the meeting was not held. The locked out throng sclaced them selves by cheering their loudest for Keahon, “the leader of the Seventh,’ and vituperating Boyle. Meanwhile, Boyle, from an upper window, smiled with studied disdain on the crowd below. MR MACK SI'RE OF NEW-YORK. ee Buffalo, July 11.—National Committeeman Nor man E. Mack said to-day: Unless Mr. Bryan desires the notification made in a Western city, I should prefer it be made in some of the large cities of some ore of the Middle States. Naturally, I would favor New-York City, because of its importance as a political and com mercial centre. New-York State will probably go into the Democratic column at the coming elec tion. and Democrats in this section of the country would like to have the honor of having Mr. Bryan notified in the East, especially as the West has hsd the convention which nominated him. MAINE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. SE Lewiston, Me., July 11.-—-Maine Democrats met here to-day In State convention to nominate a candidate for Governor and six Presidential elec tors. There was great enthusiasm, Bryan and Stevenson flags being everywhere, D. J. Me Giillcuddy, of Lewiston, was named as temporary chairman. He declared that the real issue was American constitutionalism against European im perialism.

At the afternoon session Chairman M. P. Frank, of Portland, of the Committee on Resolutions, re ported resolutions indorsing the Kansas City plat orm, pledging unqualified support to William J. Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson and denouncing Re ublican extravagance in State affairs. The reso tions were adopted amid cheers. Mr. Frank placed Samuel 1. Lord. ex-Mavor of Baco, in nomination for Governor, and the nomina tion was made by aeclammation. r——————

OFFICE HOLDERS ORDERED TO FUR NISH CAMPAIGN FUNDS. STUMP SPEAKERS DIRECTED TO IGNORE STUMP SPEAKERS DIRECTED TO IGNORE 16 TO 1 AND DENOUNCE TRUSTS AND IMPERIALISM. Richard Croker was at the Democratic Club last night, but he refused to talk to reporters, and of course all his faithful followers at once assumed a distant and a frosty air toward newspaper men, whom they generally meet with cordiality. In addition to this cold demeanor, there was more than a suspicion of deep gloom in their looks. It is reported that Mr. Croker has Informed the leaders that he will need ample funds to conduct the coming campaign and that every office holder will be expected to con tribute liberally. This may account for the gloom. It is reported, too, that Mr. Croker is ill pleased with tke lack of enthusiasm among Tammany's regular campaign stump speakers over the outlook which confronts them. The boss has ordered, it is sald, that 16 to 1 be ignored to a great degree in their speeches, and that the anti-imperialistic and anti-trust planks of the Democratic platform receive nearly all their attention. The poor stump speakers can't for the life of them see how they are going to interest the masses by urging that the United States give up the Philippines or allow the Chinese to butcher American citizens with im punity, and they can already hear the yells of “How abont the Ice Trust?’ when they in dulge in their usual claptrap about the Demo cratic being the only party which strives to protect the people from monopoly. It is said that some of them have told Croker that free silver is the only thing in the Democratic plat form which Democratic masses of New-York care a rap for, and they pleaded to be allowed to talk about that. The boss curtly refused his permission, it is said, and that, too, added to the uncomfortable feeling at the club last night. Mr. Croker, it is said, will make Saratoga his principal }eadquarters this summer, but will also spend some days at Richfield Springs and IL.ong Branch. He will assume personal charge of the campaign, and as a preliminary bluff is asserting that he will carry the city for Bryan. The Tammany chief is eradited with a plan to force Hill to take the nomination for Governor in the hope that if he is beaten it will kill the ex-Senator politically. Tammary will be in no nurry to begin the campaign actively, it is re ported, but when it does start, after the State nominations are all made, in September, Mr. Croker intends to get up sone ratification meet ings and parades which will be imposing, nu -merically at least. Hill is expected here in a few days to look aver the field and see if he can find any sub stantial aid in his fight with Croker. Hugh Mcl.aughlin, the Kings County leader, is repre sented to he displeased with Centroller Coler’'s advice to Brooklyn Democrats to follow Hill's leadership in State matters, and it is reported that McLaughlin sent Bridge Commissioner Shea to Coler to tell him =o. Shea is quoted as saying that McLaughlin is satisfied with the way in which Croker has treated him and his friends, and Hill need not look for any support in that quarter. SEEKING FUSION IN NEBRASKA. POPULISTS DEMAND ALL THE OFFICES EFFORTS TO SECURE HARMONY BY BRYAN. Lincoln, Neb. July 11 (Special).—The State con ventions of the Populists, Democrats and Free Silver Republicans were held to-day, and proved the most animated in the history of Nebraska fusionists. The Populists are angry and deter mined to show their feelings. The Silver Repub licans are not feeling very well themselves and the Democrats are beginning to resent the threats of the Populists. The turning dawn of Towne has infuriated the Populists, and they are asking that they have every nominea on the entire State ticket, The feeling of resentment on the part of the Populists is so marked that many delegations have been sent here with deliberate instructions that unless every vacancy on the entire State ticket is filled by a tried and true Populist te refuse to in dorse fusion and nominate a separate ticket. Custer and Saunders counties’ delegates have these positive instructions and leading in the opposition to Bryan and his friends. Mr. Bryan is personally interceding to prevent trouble, but everything points to a protracted struggle. The Democrats sav the Populists must he satisfied with one-half of the offices, and the Silver Republicans will have one-tourth and the Demoerats take the other fourth. This is a big concession for the Democrats as it stands, but the Populist conference committee says no em phaticaily to all propositions that do not econtem plate giving them the full ticket. A full State ticket from Governor down is to be named. Gov ernor Poynter is a Populist and will probably be renominated by the Papulists in any event, al though John O. Yeiser, of Omaha. is leading a re volt against him. The Democrats have no candi date for Governor, but do not want to see Poynter renominated. Poynter is the strongest man the Pornlists have unless Judge Holcomb or Senator Allen can be induced to run. Allen, of course, wants to go to the Senate next spring and will not per mit the use cof his name, while Holcomb is on the Suvreme Bench and also has Senatorial aspirations and will not permit his name to be used. It looks as if Mr. Bryan's full diplomacy will be necessary to solve the question. Each of the conventions organized in the afternoon and appointed confer ence committees, These committees are supposed to agree upon a slate and then each convention to nominate the men selected. At a late hour agree ment had not been reached.

REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE PREPARING FOR A HOT AND STUBBORN CONTEST, Washington, July 1l.=-The Republican Con gress Campaign Committee is preparing for a hot and stubborn fight to -etain the control of the House of Representatives ir the LVIIth Congress. All the members are fully impressed with the necessity of hard, unremitting work and plenty of it from start to finish to win a victory this year, and some of them nc¢w regard the prospect of doing so as not altogether prom ising. The committee began many weeks ago to sow the country with political speeches and other campaign literature, and this seed found fruitful soil in some of the States and Congress districts where the interest of the voters had been aroused to a high piteh by discussions in Congress. This pre-campaign distribution of Iit erature probably produced better results than a like distribution three or four mcnths later would have done. It comprised several million copies of speeches on subjects of current politi cal interest by Republican leaders in Congress. Just now the distribution of campaign docu ments is suspended, and the officers and active members of the Campaign Committee are en gaged in a comprehensive and thorough survey of the political field, and in forming a general plan of campaign. They are giving special at tention to conditions in the score or more Con gress districts in each of which the plurality of the successful candidate, whether Republi can or Democrat, in 1898 did not exceed five hundred or six hundred in any case, while in several districts it fell below one hundred. About half of these districts were carried by Republicans and half by Democrats. One of these is the XIXth New-York, where Mr. Coch ran’s plurality was only twenty-eight votes, and he escaped defeat only by the votes of soldiers from his district who were absent serving in the war with Spain. Another is the IXth Ken tucky District, which returned Mr. Pugh, Re publican, by a plurality of only ten votes in a total poll of more than thirty-three thousand. One Democrat was elected by a plurality of thirty-four votes, and several others by plurali tles of less than two hundred each. PERIL OF OVERCONFIDENCE. Most of the officers and members of the Cam paign Committee were members of it two years ago, and their memories are still vivid of the difficulties encountered in that campaign on ac count of the apathy and overconfidence of Re publican and other sound money voters. In some States and in many districts the sound money sentiment seemed to have exhausted it self in the effort to defeat Bryan two years before, or to be dormant for some reason, despite the self-evident fact that no sound financial legislation could be written in the National statute books by the LVIth Congress unless the Republicans should retain control of the House of Representatives. Among the consequences of this apathy and overconfidence was the loss by the Republicans of twenty-five Congress dis tricts in Massachusetts, New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia, all of which had given big pluralitigs for McKin ley in 1886. The opposition almost gained con trol of the House of Representatives, and if they had succeeded no gold standard law would have been enacted by this Congress.

There are present indications that similar con ditions to those which nearly defeated the Re publicans in 1898 still exist in a number of States and districts, and that unless they can be removed before Election Day the Bryanites will control the House of Representatives in the LVIIth Congress. In the opinion of at least one member of the Republican Campaign Commit tee, who is an experienced and acute politician, these conditions are likely to be supplemented and aggravated by the very fact which it would be thought should produce the opposite effect— the fact that this is a Presidential year. In the course of conversation he said:

It is going to be harder to elect a Republican majority of the next House than it is to defeat Bryan. I judge so because I know by my own personal knowledge and from trustworthy in formation 1 have received that thousands of Democrats and sound money men who will never vote for Bryan and who earnestly desire his de feat will vote for Democratic candidates for Congress next November, whether the latter be silver men or gold men, because, in the first place, they do not have any fear that the exist ing financial legislation will be overturned or disturbed, and in the second place, because they want to be able to preserve a semblance of party loyalty or regularity, and to point to the fact that they voted a Democratic ticket in 1900. I Know of hundreds of Geld Democrats who voted for McKinley in 1896 and for Democratic candi dates for Congress in 180R for precisely the same reason that they will do so this year. You may just as well make up your mind that the Re publicans have got to work hard every day and all day until November if they expect te carry the next House of Representatives.

SAYS BRYANISM IS AS FAR FROM DEMOC RACY AS DARKNESS FROM LIGHT. Among the Gold Democrats in Brooklyn who have been coming out against the ticket and platform chosen at Kansas City is General Horatio C. King. He will vote and work for McKinley, and in an interview yesterday said:

I have no sympathy with Bryanism or the Kan sas City platform. 1t is as far from true Democ racy as darkness from light. 1 am heartily in favor of sustaining the Administration in this emer gency and in upholding the honor. the integrity and the majesty of this great Government. The Populistic platform is as odious to me now as it was four vears ago. T refused to support it then, and I refuse to support it now. I shall vote for McKinley and Roosevelt, and, if requested, shall take part in the campaign.

Bdward Simmons, president of the Fourth Na tional Bank, in commenting yesterday upon the political situation, said as a Gold Democrat that he was irrevocably opposed to Bryan's silver fallacy. “I could but regard,” he added, ‘‘the adoption by the Kansas City Convention of the silver plank as a menace to the publie credit, which is likely to result in a serious impairment of the financial strength of this country. The Democrats of the Eastern and Middle States will never swallow this silver-coated pLi, and unless I am greatly mis taken they will either place another ticket in the field or they will give their support to McKinley, who, at least, represents an honest dollar. have always been a Democrat, and I think am a better Democrat to-day than ever was, because I am a Gold Democrat. 1 believe in a stable currency, and no country. in my opinion, can succeed com mercially unless its business operations are based on sound principles of finance. Every American dollar should have in it one hundred cents of value. The defeat of the sound money party would, In my judgment, result in a general business CA tastrophe; it would put this country back a quarter of a century, and cause us to take our place among the second class nations of the world. I do not underrate the strength of Mr. Bryan and the Dem ocratle leaders who are assoclated with him. Con ditions now are much different from 1896. Many new issues have sprung up, which are more or less disturbing to the puble mind, and many Democrats who, through fear, voted for McKinley then, will not support him now.” [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.) BRYAN AS AN “IMPERIALIST.” HIS RECORD IN STRONG CONTRAST WITH THE KANSAS CITY PLATFORM. Washington, July 11 (Special).— ‘1 do not see how Mr. Bryan will be successful in making so-called ‘Ymperialism’ the paramount issue of the cam paign,” said Representative Loudenslager, of New Jersey. to-day. Mr. Loudensiager is a member of the Executive Committee of the Republican Con gressional Campaign Committee and is in charge of the Eastern headquarters of the committee in this city.

“The Republicsn party has not declared for im perfalism and 1s not pursuing an imperialistic course,” Mr. Loudenslager continued. “The Demo crats have set up a straw man in this instance, just to have the sport of knocking him down again. But the Democrats have declared for free silver in their platform definitely and specifically, and it Is a matter of record. One thing is certainhow ever they may try to wriggle away from it, the Republicans will hold them up to it. There will be no opportunities lost to point out to the country and to keep pointing out that the Democratic party is the party of free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, irrespective of the action of any other nation on the globe.

“Of course, the Democrats will put forth lots of misrepresentations of the course of the Adminis tration in dealing with the Philippine situation. We expect that, and will have to put up with it, meet ig the misrepresentations as best we may. I hon estly helfeve that if men would sit down and con sider this Philippine case apart from their polit ical prejudices—if they would get away from their politics, go over the situation from the day that the battle of Manila Bay was fought, and then ask themselves what they would have done in the premises—80 per cent of them would admit that the President and the Republican Administration have been right. Now, take Mr. Bryan's attitude toward the Philippine situation; reason it out, and see where he really is weak. Mr. Bryan support ed the course of this Government in the Spanish war. He stood with the leaders of his party in Congress in supporting the Government at that critical time. When hostilities broke out Mr. Bryan, further to accentuate his adherence to the attitude of his Government as put into execution by the Republican Congress and Administration, enlisted in the Army, and he stood for whatever the flaz and the Nation stood for. When Spain was whipped and the Treaty of Paris was under censideration Mr. Bryan did everything in his power to have it confirmad. He not only wrote to the leaders of his party in Congress to vote for confirmation, but, if my memory serves me, came on to Washington to make a persenal appeal in behalf of the treaty. Thus we have Mr. Bryan identified in an aggressive manner with every phase of the war and standing with his country.

“Then the war ends; the Philippine crisis comes upon us suddenly and as a direct ouicome of the war with Spain, which Mr. Bryan had aided in waging in every way possible. Mr. Bryan Kicks over the traces and takes opposition to the only course left for this Government to pursue in the circumstances. He wants the Filipinos treated like the Cubans, he says. Well, if we can ever succeed in getting the Filipinos out of the rifle pits, induce them to stop shooting us and others whom they have no cause to shoot, and get them in a position where we can talk business with them, we may be able to come to some kind of agreement which would be satisfactory to all parties concerned. “I have no confidence in the Democratic party and Mr. Bryan being able to give the [ilipinos any better terms than the Republican party can offer them, and which would be acceptable to the people of the United States. It is not the nature of the Americans when in a fight to make concessions to the enemy until either the foe or themselves have whipped. So. when the thoughtful people come to analvze the situation I think it will be difficult to induce them to believe that the Republican party is making for imperialism or that the Republic is on the verge of becoming the empire. Our folks are pretty levelheaded, take them by and large. They will reason these things out after their own fashion. and it won't be after the fashion of the declarations of the Kansas City platform; either, when the results become manifest. NEW ERA IN THE SOUTH. SIGNIFICANCE OF “THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER'S" DECLARATION AGAINST BRYAN. [EY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.] Charlotte, N. C., July 11.—There is a good deal more in the defection of “The Charlotte Observer” from the support of Bryan than ap rears on the surface. That paper, which is the leading and best established newspaper in the State, unwillingly lent its aid in 1896 to the Democratic Presidential ticket. Its reasons were opposition to Bryan on account of his free silver ideas and dislike of the “injunction” plank in the platform. Overcomink its repug nance then, it finds it harder to do so this year on two grounds: First, because it is a news paper given to considerable independence, and it does not want to be persuaded to do a thing twice which it believes it was wrong to have dcne the first time. “The Observer” is almost the only daily paper in North Carolina that stood up through thick and thin for Mr. Cleve land in his last Administration, and about the only one which defended his course at the time of the campaign in 18086. The second reason is far stronger, in the sense that it is a sympwom of a revolt in the South from the anti-expansion notions of the Bryan ized Democracy. “The Observer's” stated rea sons, already given in The Tribune's special dis patch from Charlotte, do not explain, although they hint at, the chief reason for its declared action. "The Observer” is largely owned by D. A. Tompkins, one of the foremost of Southern cotton mill owners and a prime mover in the recent attempt of the Southern milling interest to expand American trade in the Orient. Char lotte is the headquarters of this interest, and the two Carolinas are permeated with the ideas ad vanced at their recent convention. In fact, from Virginia to Texas there is a growing sentiment in behalf of the expansion of the industries of the South in the Chinese and Japanese and other Eastern regions. Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, young, vigorous, independent and progressive, has given this movement his cordial suppert in and out of Con gress, and other public men of that section favor it. The attitude of “The Charlotte Observer,” one of the most influential newspapers between Rich mond and New-Orleans, is therefore very signifi cant. It does not matter that it declares it wilt not support the re-election of President McKin ley. Its declaration against the Democratic can didates, though ex-Vice-President Stevenson's name is highly commended —the editor being a personal friend of the candidate for the second place—marks a significant era in Southern poli tics. It shows that papers of large circulation and invested capital dare to stand out against the dominant party whenever, in their opinion, the course of that party is inimical to the ma terial interests of the section or of the country at large. There may be other “Charlotte Ob servers.” And, after all, the “paramount issue” may kick backward and knock the inventors OVéer. ———e— COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS AT WORK A CLUPR FORMED WITH NEARLY FOUR HUN DRED MEMBERS TO AID IN M'KIN LEY'S RE-ELECTION. A meeting of ‘ommercial travellers was held at No. 687 Breadway yesterday, and a club for the purpose of working for the Republican National ticket among commercial men in New-York State was formed. It organized with nearly four hundred members. The following officers were elected: Ferdinand Ziegel, president; Captain A. B. Feder, first vice-president; Julius Sax, second vicepresi dent; Morris Bernstein, secretary, and J. Ritten berg, sergeant-at-arms. Resolutions containing the following were passed: We heartily indorse the Administration of Presi dent McKinley as wise, partion and in line with that statesmanship which has placed our Nation in the foremost rank among the civilized nations of the earth. We believe in sound money, sound business prin ciples in the administration of the Government, a protective tariff and a commercial development adequate to our National expansion. We agree to work for the re-election of President McKinley and his assoclate, Theodora Roosevelt, the nominee for Vice-President. Mr. Ziegel said last night that the club would have headquarters in Washington Place, and that he intended travelling through the State organizing branches among the travelling men.

ard, secretary. CONDITIONS IN MARYLAND. JAMES T. BRADFORD SAYS THE STATE WILL BE IN THE REPUBLICAN COLUMN. James T. Bradford, of Maryland, a member of the committee to inform Governor Roosevelt of his nomination for the Vice-Presidency, who was In this city last evening, in speaking of the coming contest in his State, said:

h land will. beyond a doubt, keep the place she Bil in 1896 hii the list of Republican States. Sur people of both parties have a long and well sustained record for conservatism, and never before in the history of the affairs of the Nation was there a time when it is so certain that the radieal ideas of any party will not be permitted to inter fere with the well fixed prosperity that the Nation is now e¢.joying. Maryland has gained much in the tide of prosperity dating frem the Administration of President McKinley: our producers and importers have found an admirable market, and the bankers quick and profitable employment for their money.

I

I Sound money, prosperity and expansion will make a winning slogan in Maryland. Why, since the nominations were made and the platform adopted at the Kansas City Convention such an eminent Democrat as Lloyd Jackson, who four years azo was the backbone of the Bryan Democracy in Maryland, has declared against the party of his lifelong association, as well as Alexander Brown, the head of the well known banking firm of Alex ander Brown Sons and a lifelon Democrat; R. C. Davidson, the Democratic ex-Mayor of Bal timore, together with a number of other Democrats who have risen above the small prejudice of sec tional or party ties, and are taking hold of these questions, affecting, as they do, the Nation's weal or woe, as business men and patriots. In 1896 Maryland gave McKinley nearly 33.600 ma jority. It was the first trial of the splendid elec tion law that had just been put in operation by a Republican State administration and Legislature. That law remains undisiurbed, and in 15%, although we have had four years of party strife, which cul minated in the turning over of the State to the Democratic ring, we will repeat the record of 1896. There has never been any contest within our party as to McKinley. In 1886, previous to the nomina tion, all Republicans were for McKinley. The sama thing was true this year; thus his renomination has closed the breach. Our campaign will Le vig orously pushed.

There is no race question in Maryland. There are fully two hundred and fifty thousand colored men, women and children in the State, who are well fed and in most part progressing. The young are be ing educated under a splendid system of free public instruction, and cach year, to a marked degree, crime decreases and the progress of the people is evidenced In the homes they are buying and the deposits made in the savings banks. The white people are liberal in giving employment at fair wages, and there has never been (and it is now not thought of) such a thing as a serious race agita tion. Colored men, true, almost en masse vote the Republican ticket on all elections Republican faith 1s as strong among us as Christi rarely find a Ta tianity. and we COLER CHARGES DISMISSED. ATTORNEY-GENERAL MAKES PUBLIC HIS DECISION—-ACTION IN OTHER CASES TEIN AL ALR NY Uri Rt ER CABS. Albany, July 11.—Upon the advice of Attor ney-General Davies, Governor Roosevelt to-day announced that he had dismissed the charges made against Bird S. Coler, Controller of New York City, and also the charges preferred against Judge Cowing by the Central Federated Union.

In the case of Mayor Van Wyck the Governor is barred from taking any action because of a request of J. Noble Hayes, counsel for “The World,” asking for further delay, as he wished to amend the charges. The Governor announced that no action would be taken in the matter of the charges against District Attorney Gardiner until Special Com missioner Wilcox had filed his final findings, which will be within ten days. The Governor will announce his decision on his return from the West. In the Coler case the Attorney-General gives the following reasons why the charges preferred by Jacob Mack should be dismissed:

I have carefully examin=d the evidence pre sented by the petitioner in support of the charges, and also the records and papers on file in the Controller's office bearing upon the trans actions complained of. I find that the facts forming the principal basis of these charges have already been the subject of judicial investigation, the case of Trowbridge versus the City of New-York, re ported in 24 Misc, Rep. 517. In that case Jus tice Cohen wrote a very able and exhaustive opinion, reaching the conclusion that the action of the Controller, which is now the subject of complaint, was legal and proper, and it would seem that his conclusions ought to be decisive of the questions here presented. However, independent of this decision, my own investigation leads me to the conclusion that the charges are entirely without founda tion, and I would therefore recommend their immediate dismissal. In addition to the information given by the Attorney-General, the Governor also caused an examination to be made into these charges. The report made of this separate examination coin cides with the opinion which the AttorneyGon eral has rendered. Of the charges preferred by Ernest Bohm against City Judge Rufus B. Cowing, the At torney-General disposes of them on the ground that the Governor has no jurisdiction in the matter. The Attorney-General says: I have received and examined the letters ad dressed to you by Ernest Bohm, corresponding secretary of the Central Federated Union. mak ing certain charges against the Hon. Rufus B. Cowing, City Judge of the city of New-York.

In my opinion you have no jurisdiction or au thority to entertain any charges against the city judge, or to institute or prosecute any pro ceedings against him for misconduct in office, such jurisdiction being solely vested in the court for the trial of impeachments.

The Governor, speaking of the charges made against Mayor Van Wyck, said that he was in no wise responsible for delaying action in the matter, inasmuch as counsel for “The World,” the complainant, desired to amend the charges. The Governor then read the contents of the let ter of Attorney Hayes, which follows: I want to amend the charges preferred by “The World” before any formal action is taken upon them, the situation having changed somewhat since they were filed in consequence of the Mayor's appearance upon the stand after having first refused to testify.

The Governor made no announcement touch ing the Ice Trust litigation, but continued his conferences with the Attorney-General and Commissioner Wilcox. He left here for New York on the 2:25 train.

Albany, July 1l.—-Governor Roosevelt and Attor ney-General Davies to-day decided that before con sideration of the proposition to convene the Appel late Division of the Supreme Court, Third Depart ment, to hear motions to vacate the stays granted by Justice Kellogg In lee Trust litigation that similar applications he made to Justice Kellogg. This will be done at Plattsburg, Judge Kellogg's

TANCE OF ACTION. Berlin, Jaly 11.—Dr. Vor Mumm von sahwerzenstein, Envoy Extraordinary of Ger many to the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, has peer appointed German Minister to China, in guccession to the late Baron von Ketteler. He sterts for the Far East in a few days, accom panied by Baron Von der Goltz. Dr. Von Mumm’s appointment as Minister to Chine is interpreted in political circles here as 8 proof that Germany regards herself as not at war with China. The appointment is meant especially for Russia, to show that Germany means to continue her China policy with Russia. Dr Von Mumm, who is considered one of the brightest and most promising German diplo mets. ard who, until now, it was generally sup posed, would succeed Dr. Von Holleben at Washington. promptly declared that he was ready 10 assume the dangerous mission at the Emperor's personal desire. He acted as Ger mar Minister to the United States in Ambassa éor Von Holleben’s absence.

At the Chinese Legation here to-day it was said that the Viceroy had sent information that the rising had declined, and would soon be guelled. The Legation officials do not believe the other Ministers at Peking have been mur dered Baron von Ketteler's assassination, they sav, does not mean that the Chinese antifor eign agitation is especially aimed at the Ger ‘mans. The ignorant rabble comprising the Boxers, say the officials, do not know the differ ence between Englishmen and Germans. To them all are simply foreigners. It is believed at the Legation that the report is true that the Empress Dowager is again in power.

TW OOMMANDER. UNITED STATES CONSULATE AT CHE-F0OO, CHINA. For the last two weeks this consulate has been the asylum of the American missionaries escaping from Northern China. from North things, and accordingly cannot lay the views of the Government before the Ministers for For eign Affairs of the respective Powers to which they are accredited. Now we take this oppor tunity of going fully into the matter for the in formation of our representatives aforesaid.

In the first place, there arose in the provinces of Chi-Li and Shan-Tung a kind of rebellious subjects who had been in the habit of practising boxing and fencing in their respective villages, and at the same time clothing their doings with spiritualistic and strange rites. The local au thorities failed to take due notice of them at the time. Accordingly the infection spread with astonishing rapidity. Within the space of a month it seemed to make its appearance every where, and finally even reached the capital itself. Every one looked upon the movement as supernatural and strange, and many joined it. Then there were lawless and treacherous per sons who sounded the cry of “Down with Chris tianity!” About the middle of the fifth moon these persons began to create disturbances without warning. Churches were burned and converts were killed. The whole city was in a ferment. A situation was created which could not be brought under control. At first the for eign Powers requested that foreign troops be allowed 10 enter the capital for the protection of the legations. The Imperial Government, having in view the comparative urgency of the occasion, granted the request as an extraordi nary mark of courtesy beyond the requirements of international intercourse. Over five hundred troops were sent to Peking. This shows clearly how much care China exercised in the mainte nance of friendly relations with other countries. ACTION OF GUARDS CRITICISED. The legations at the capital never had much to do with the people. But from the time for eign troops entered the city the guards did not devote themselves exclusively to the protection of their respective legations. They sometimes fired their guns on top of the city walls, and sometimes patrolled the streets everywhera. There were repeated reports of persons being hit by stray bullets. Moreover, they strolled about the city without restraint, and even at tempted to enter the Tung-Hua gate (the east ern gate of the palace grounds). They only de sisted when admittance was positively forbid den. On this ._. “unt both the soldiers and the people were prow ed to resentment, and voiced their indignat! 'n .ith one accord. Lawless per sons then took advantage of the situation to do mischief, and became bolder than ever in burn ing and killing Christian converts.

The Powers thereupon attempted to reinforce the foreign troops in Peking, but the reinforce ments encountered resistance and defeat at the hands of the insurgents on the way, and have not vet been able to proceed. The insurgents of the two provinces of Chi-Li and Shan-Tung had by this time effected a complete union, and could not be separated. The Imperial Govern ment wag by no means reluctant to issue orders for the entire suppression of this insurgent ele ment. But as the trouble was $0 near at hand, there was a great fear that due protection might not be assured to the legations if the anar chistes should be driven to extremities, thus bringing on a national calamity. There also was a fear that uprisings might occur in the provinces of Chi-Li and Shan-Tung at the same time, with the resuit that both foreign mission arieg and Chinese converts in the two provinces might fall victims to popular fury. It was therefore absolutely necessary to consider the matter from every point of view. As a measure of precaution it was finally decided to request the foreign Ministers to retire temporarily to Tien-Tsin for safety. ASSASSINATION OF VON EKETTELER. It was while the discussion of this proposition was in progress that the German Minister, Baron von Ketteler, was assassinated by a riot ous mob ome morning while on his wav to the Tsung-li-Yamen. On the previous day the Ger man Minister had written a letter appointing a time for calling at the Tsung-li-Yamen. But the Yamen, fearing he might be molested on the way, did not consent to the appointment as suggested by the Minister.

Since this occurrence the anarchists assumed a more bold and threatening attitude, and con sequently it was not deemed wise to carry out the project of sending the diplomatic corps to Tien-Tsin under an escort. However, orders were issued to the troops detailed for the pro tection of the legations to keep stricter watch and take greater precaution against any emer gency. To our surprise, on the 20th of the fifth moon (June 16), foreign (naval?) officers at Taku called upon Lo Jung Kwang, the general commanding, and demanded his surrender of the forts, informing him that, failing to receive com pliance, they would at 2 o'clock the next day take steps to seize the forts by force. Lo Jung Kwang being bound by the duties of his office to hold the forts, how could he yield to the de mand? On the day named they actually first fired upon the forts, which responded and kept up a fighting all day and then surrendered.

NOT AT WAR WITH THE POWERS. Thus the conflict of forces began, but cer tainly the initiative did not come from our side. Even supposing that China were not conscious of her true condition, how could she take such a step as to engage in war with all the Powers simultaneously, and how could she, relying upon the support of an anarchistic populace, go into war with the Powers?

Our position in this matter ought to be clearly understood by all the Powers. The above is a statement of the wrongs we have suffered, and how China was driven to the unfortunate posi tion from which she could not escape.

Our several Ministers will make known ac curately and in detail the contents of this decree and the policy of China to the Ministers of For eign Affairs in their respective countries, and assure them that military authorities are still strictly enjoined to afford protection to the le gations as nitherto to the utmost of their power. As for the anarchists, they will be severely dealt with as circumstances permit. The several Ministers will continue in the dis charge of the duties of their offices as hitherto, without hesitation or doubt. This telegraphic decree to be transmitted for their information.

Its apparently devious course from the Privy Council in Peking to the Chinese Legation here was probably the most direct route feasible at the present time in North China, and its text, it is thought, has not suf fered much if any distortion in transmission. The State Department regards the decree with much satisfaction as strengthening the position consistently held by the United States that war should not be declared against China, but that United States forces should be used to assist that Government in protecting American lives and property, and providing against any recur rence of anti-foreign movements. It is also gratifying to note that the I'nited States, by reason of the farsighted action of Admiral Kempff, who refused to take part in the attack on the Taku forts, is in the position of China's closest friend, and therefore able to take the chief part in securing a peaceful solution of the grave difficulties which confront the Peking dynasty.

MR. WU BAYS THE GERMAN MINISTER TOOK HIS LIFE IN HIS OWN HANDS. Washington, July 11.—Minister Wu said this morning in regard to the assassination of Baron von Ketteler, the German Minister in Peking, that in attempting to pass through the streets to reach the Tsung-li-Yamen Baron von Ket teler took his life in his own hands. The Minis ter, he said, had requested an audience of the Chinese Cabinet, to which they would not ac cede, knowing the dangers from the lawless rioters and the anti-foreign element that would attend the Minister's journey through the city. Nevertheless the Minister attempted to reach the Tsung-li-Yamen and met his death. Minister Wu also spoke of the bombardment of the Taku forts. The Chinese military com mandant there, he said, had no authority what ever to surrender the forts on the demand of the Powers, and had no alternative except to return the fire of the foreign fleet. As to the foreign Ministers in Peking, he said that they were requested by the TsungliYa men, in order to insure their safety, to leave Peking for Tien-Tsin when the rioting and anarchy in the Chinese capital became more and more rampant. The Ministers did not take im mediate advantage of this offer, and later the troubles spread through all the intervening country between Peking and Tien-Tsin, so fhat the greatest chance of safety lay in their re maining at the capital rather than risking the still greater peril of a journey across country.

COTTON MILLS NOT SHUTTING DOWN. Regarding a report that some of the cotton mills of the South would be oblized tc shut down on account of the Chinese troubles, a well known ex porter of cotton goods to China said yesterday to a Tribune reporter: I do not know of any mille that are shutting down on account. of the Chinese situation. The mills that would be affected are those which manufacture heavy sheetings and drills, as the Chinese haven't learned to use anything lighter. The cotton trade, however, is not shipping any oods to China. and no purchases are being made or future shipments. Goods, of course, are in transit on the fortv-five days’ journey to Shanghai, and goods will be shipped all this month and possi biv next, in order to fill contracts, but no new contracts are being made. ge OFFERS TO RAISE REGIMENTS FOR CHINA.

MARCHING ON TIEN-TSIN. THE NINTH INFANTRY AND MARINE BATTALION LANDED IN CHINA. FOREIGNERS HARD PRESSED, ADMIRAL REMEY REPORTS. [BY TELEGRAPH TN THE TRIBUNE [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.] Washington, July 11.—The following cable dispatch was received at the Navy Department to-day from Admiral Remey: time. Che-Foo, July 10. Secretary Navy, Washington. Arrived yesterday. Two battalicns 9th Infan try and one battalion marines, Colonel Meade, landed to-day to proceed to Tien-Tsin.

Tsin foreigners there are hard pressed. REMEY. According to this dispatch, the infantry and marines are now on the way to Tien-Tsin, which is two days’ march from Taku. Two battalions of infantry and one of marines, it is estimated, will make a force of about twelve hundred or thirteen hundred men, a reinforcement which will be exceedingly welcome and valuable to the allied forces, which, according to Admiral Remey, are ‘hard pressed.” Whether the third battalion of the 9th Infantry is immediately to follow the other two, or to remain temporarily at Taku, is not known here. Colonel meade, of the Marine Corps, is the senior of Colonel Lis cum, of the 9th Infan'ry, his commission bear ing date of March 3, 1899, while the iatter’s is dated March 31, 1899. OBSTACLES IN THE ROAD TO FEKING. When the allled forces are strong enough to advance from Tien-Tsin toward Peking, they will enter a region in which military operations will be difficult. There is only one road besides the railroaq, and that is a bad one, which will offer serious obstacles to the movements of ar

tillery and wagon transportation, on account of the nature of the soil, which in the rainy season becomes like a bog. The usual means of freight transportation, aside from the railroad, which appears not to be available at present beyond Tien-Tsin, are two wheeled carts drawn by two oP six mules. How many of these can be ob tained after all the fighting and destruction that have taken place and are still in progress is a question.

According to Mr. Rockhill, Director of the Bureau of American Republics, who spent a number of years in China in the diplomatic ser vice and is thoroughly familiar with the coun try, the river above Tien-Tsin cannot be de pended on as a means of transportation either for an army or its necessary supplies, being too shallow in the dry season and too uncertain in a wet one on account of the difficulty of follow ing the tortuous and treacherous channel. The Peking expedition will therefore probably march across the country, which is a broad, flat and almost treeless plain. Most of the trees are planted about tombs, and in the opinion of Mr. Rockhill and others it would not be politic to destroy them. The question of fuel, therefore, would be one of some importance, and that of water also, except as it could be procured from the river or the canals which intersect the plain. The wells throughout the country are small, and the water is drawn from them with small buckets made of twigs. All water must be boiled, and the Chinese never drink it atherwise. The land is highly cultivated, and heavy crops of millet and other small grains are raised. -No cattle are raised for beef, and almost all the meat consumed is pork—which only the Chinese will eat because it is so dirty—and mutton. The sheep which furnish the mutton are raised in Mongolia, and not in the province through which the expedition is to march. "The miliet will not ripen until early September, and would not be suitable to feed to animals until that No rice is raised in the Pei-Ho Valley.

The population of Tien-Tsin numbers about one million, a large proportion of which are dis orderly and turbulent—‘‘about the roughest in China,” one who knows them says. If Tien-Tsin is to be maintained as a base of military opera tions, or held at all, a large garrison will be re guired, and if the railroad is to be reopened and held as a means of transportation and supplies every mile of it will have to be strongly guarded, for it runs through a province which contains a population of twenty-two millions, practically all of which is hostile to the foreigners.

In speaking of the difficulties of a military campaign there Mr. Rockhill to-day remarked: I see that the.contingent ordered from India by Great Britain for the Peking expedition is to be provided with about ten thousand coolies, or camp followers—about one to each soldier. I presume that the Japanese contingent and the French contingent drawn from Indo-China will be similarly provided, and i: seems to me that it would have been a good plan to furnish our forces with like means of transportation. Other wise, they may fall behind the others, or be chiefly useful for garrison duty or to guard the

railroad, if it is to be reopened, and kept open as a means of communication and supply. MINISTER WU SHOWS CONFIDENCE.

GORED BY AN ANGRY BULL. A FARMER'S CHORE BOY DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED WHILE LEADING THE ANIMAL. Peter Duncan, fifteen vears old, a chore bos for John Prott, a farmer, on the Boston Read, Fast Chester, was gored twice by an angry bull last night in Prott's barn. He was removed to the Fordham Hospital in a dangerous condition,

Duncan got the bull, a Holstein, from tha pasture at dusk and drove him into the barn, The bull was mettlesome, and as Duncan walked between him and the side of the barn the ami. mal suddenly showed his temper by driving the boy against the barn with his head, goring him twice. 1 The boy was plucky enough to seize a pitch fork lying by his side, and he dug the tines into the bull till the animal retreated. Duncan shouted for help, and Prctt came out and tied up the bull. A policeman sent to the Fordham Hospital for an ambulance. Dr. Hogan found that one of the bull's horns had torn a hole in the boy's abdomen six inches long and nearly an inch deep, and another wound in the same re gion seven inches long and about an inch deep. Both wounds are serious. Dr. Hogan thought they might cause Duncan's death.

PROSPEROUS FISCAL YEAR. ES FIGURES OF FOREIGN TRADE SET FORTH BY ASSISTANT SEC RETARY VANDERLIP. LJ MEETING OF PENNSYLVANIA STATE BANK. ERS ASSOCIATION, York, Penn., July 11.—The sixth annual conven tion of the Pennsylvania State Bankers' Associ ation, an organization composed of National and State banks, trusts companies, savings banks and bank clearing houses doing business in Pennsyl vania, began a two days’ session in this city to day. The features of the first day's session were a€dresses by Congressman Brosius, of Lancaster, chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency, and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Vanderlip. Mr. Vanderlip's subject was “Some Figures of the Fiscal Year.” He sald, in part: We have just witnessed the close of a marvellous year in the foreign trade. We rejoiced exceedingly a year azo when the value of our exports reached $1.227.000,000. In the vear which has just closed wes have made a new mark, for the exports for the fiscal year 19% stand at $1,400,000,000. That is $173, 0,000 gain over last year, $160.000,000 Zrester than in the Sanner vear, 1893, and $330,000, more than in 1847. it is $517,900.00 more than in 1896. The gain of 19% over 1895 amounts substantially to $0000 for each day. This means there has been distributed daily in some form or other emong the American people $500,000 more than in the prosperous year 1849, and that labor, being the greater element in the cost of production, has re ceived in wages the greater part of the increase. In the increases all industries have participated. As an example, take transportation for last Octo ber. in that month 33,000 cars were ordered from car building companies, 33 locomotives and over F000 tons of steel rails. To meet all these large orders all the energies of production, ranging from the first handling of raw material in the mines and forests, through all the processes of manu facture, to the finished product have been em ployed, and thus there has come about a distribu tion of the millions gained, which may now be fcund represented either in things adding greater comforts to homes or by deposits in the savings banks for future needs. An examination of the year's record shows that manufacturers have made the largest increase, the exports being £75,000,000 greater than in 1599. In agricultural exports, the increase is $0,000,000; mine products, nearly $10,000,000; forest products, $10,000,0%, and fisheries, $2,000,000. The total ex ports of manufactures of iron and steel amounted to $120,000.00, 20 per cent increase over 1838. The imports for the year will be in the neighborhood of $550,000,000, thus insuring a trade balance for the year exceeding $00,000,000. Referring to the financial law of last March, he said: The act is plain, simple and direct in its declara tion for the zold standard. By ‘t every dollar of United States money is fixed upon an undoubted parity with gold. Security and stability are writ ten with no uncertainty of meaning in every para graph of the law There is more money in cir culation per capita in the United States to-day than ever before in the history of the country. The outlook of Treasury financiering for the com ing vear is a prosperous one. Congressman Brosius's subject was “The New Financial Loan,” which he supported in every de tail lute MALLS MARYLAND BANKERS AND SILVER. THEY ADOPT STRONG RESOLUTIONS AGAINST COINAGE AT ANY RATIO. Blue Mountain House, Md.; July 11.—The fifth an nual convention of the Maryland Bankers’ Associa tion began here to-day. Among those who will take part in the proceedings of the two days’ sessions are Assistant Secretary Vanderlip and the presi dents of various business associations. To-day the convention adopted resolutions vigorously declar ing against the free coinage of silver at any ratio whatever, only one delegate voting against it. An address of welcome was delivered by Alex ander Neill, president of the Hagerstown Bank. The president, J. W. Randall, delivered the annual address. He congratulated the association on its success and the country upon its increased pros perity, characterizing the last year as phenominal in that respect. This prosperity he attributed mainly to the restoration of public confidence in the stability of our National financial system, and this confidence, he asserted, is chiefly due to the passage of the act of Congress, approved March 14, 1500, reaffirming the National banking system and establishing gold as the basis of the National cur rency, adding: “We arg now at the crest perhaps of one of the most remarkable periods of prosperity that the country has ever known.” An address on “What the State of Maryland Owes to Baltimore City” was then delivered by George Savage, Chief Judge of the Orphans’ Court of Bal timore City. The following is the resolution which was adopted: Resolved, That we are unalterably opposed to the free coinage of silver and to every debasement of our currency, in whatsoever form it may be pre sented; that we firmly and honestly believe that the true interests of our country will be best served by its rigid adherence to the gold standard of value, the continuance of which will not only main tain its financial integrity and the welfare of its citizens from the wage earner to the capitalist, but wll perpetuate, through the preservation of confi dence, the existing tireless development of its re sources, which is rapidly making it the first among the commercial nations of the earth. i WANTS ROOSEVELT IN NEBRASKA. A FARMER SAYS BRYAN WILL THINK ROAD ROLLER HAS GONE OVER HIM. A WANTS ROOSEVELT IN NEBRASKA. E. A. Laverty, Nebraska, a member of the committee to inform Governor Roosevelt of his nomination by the Republican National Conven tion, says that the Republicans, with the ald of Governor Roosevelt, will carry Nebraska in spite of all that Bryan can do. Last night at the Wal dorf Mr. Laverty, who is successful farmer, said: I'm here more to get Governor Roosevelt to do a Jot of campaign work in our State than for al most any other purpose. I've got letters from a number of prominent Republicans asking Governor Roosevelt to help us. Bryan is getting to be some thing of an oid story with Nebraska peopl-. His success in that State, which naturally is Republi czn, is owing to the fact that he has worked up a large foliowing among the young men of the State. ‘We want to show him this year that there are other Tung men of weight and consequence—Governor oosevelt, for instance. 1 mean just what I say when 1 tell vou that our people are just wild to eee and hear Roosevelt. Bryan carried the State in I896 by 14.60. Two years ago we elected the Legis lature, but lost the Governor by only 2,000. We have nominated C. H. Diederick, a German Repub ican, for Governor, and he’s a winner. Stevenson is unpopular with the Populists, especially with the Free Silver Republicans. I'm a farmer. Four Years zgo we had to pay 10 and 12 per cent for morey on chattel mortgage. To-day we can get money on the same kind of security at 7 and 8 per cent. Real estate mortgages brought 8 per cent, four years ago. To-day the prevailing interest rate on the same kind of mortgages is 5 and 6 per cent. Those are knockdown arguments. The farmers of the State are out of debt and riding in carriages. If we nave Roosevelt out there four or five days on special train Bryan will think 2 road roller has Bone over him M'GUIRE HERE WITH HIS OUTEIT James K. McGuire, the friend of ex-Senator Hill, yecently appointed chalrman of the Executive Com mittee of the State Committee, came to ‘the enemy’s country’ last night to begin business for the campaign. It is rumored that Mr. McGuire brought along two overcoats, arctic overshoes, and an oil and 2 gas stove, expecting early contact with the Ice Trust and Richard Croker. Mr. Mece Guire is Mayor of Syracuse, and he was indicted by the Grand Jury of Onondaga County the other day for glieged offictal irregularity. He's going to spend three days a week hustling for Hill and Croker and the Democratic ticket in this city, and four days a week as Mayor of Syracuse, The three days he spends here will be in Hill's interest. Byracuse and Croker get the other four. “Fight between Hill and Croker?” said Mr. Me Guire last night at the Hoffman House, with a look of feigned surprise. “Oh, no. There isn’t any fight. We're all Democrats. More than half of the German daily papers of the State are for Bryan, and there are thirty more daily papers in the Btate mow supporting Bryan than there were four years ago.” Mr. McGuire did not name the latter, Mr. McGu.re will select campaign headquarters tn-dav THOMAR H MORAN NDFAD The funeral! of Thomas H.

STEAMSHIP MEN EXPECT AN INCREASE IN TRADE FROM THE AGREEMENT. CRANK OR MUNCHAUSEN. MR. ODELI. CHARACTERIZES THE MAN WHO REVEALED THE “PLOT” TO KILL MR. M'KINLEY. Chairman B. B. Odell, jr., of the Republican State Committee, sald yesterday concerning the alleged plot to assassinate President McKinley: I have read the account in a New-York paper this morning with reference to an alleged plot to as gassinate President McKinley, and also as to the part which I am supposed to have taken in the matter. 1 have nothing to say upon the subject ex cept that I have made an investigation which I started with the State Committee detective on the line of what I supposed to be political information, and 1 discovered either a crank or a Baron Mun chausen. And on the principle that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, it is probable that my report to Secretary Dick is the cause for the extra care now being taken of the President. 1 have nothing further to say upon this subject except that 1 regret that some one has been in discreet enough to make of a trifling matter the gigantic plot “‘exposed’” in the papers. William P. Hazen, who is in charge of the Se cret Service Division of the United States Treas ury Department, when seen yesterday at the Post office Building, said: We know nothing of this alleged plot to assas sinate President McKinley. Whatever work has been done in learning what fcundation there is to the story has been done by private detectives. 1 do not understand why such a plot should be set going by Cubans and S aniards—as the plotters are said to be—at this late date. The time for such conspiracies was two years ago. Captain McClusky, Chief of the Detective Bureau at Police Headquarters, said that he had not heard of any such conspiracy, and, as far as he knew, neither police nor detectives were detailed on the case. Senator Platt characterized the report as ab surd. Another man sald it was true that only a crank would conceive such a plot, but then Guiteau vras a crank. THE PRESIDENT NOT WORRIED. Canton, Ohio, July 11.—The publication of the story about a plot to Kill him did not disturb President McKinley in the least to-day. He drove out with Judge Day in the morning, and walked about the lawn and porch chatting with visitors in the afternoon, as if fear of assassination was the thing furthest from his thoughts. SENATOR HANNA'S EMPHATIC DENIAL Cleveland, July 1l.—Senator Hanna to-day, re ferring to the report that a plot to assassinate President McKinley had been discovered in New York, emphatically declared that the story was false. “This,” said Mr. Hanna, ointing to the story of the alleged plot published in the morning papers, “is the first I have heard of it. There is absolutely, to the best of my knowledge, no truth in it.” STRUCTURAL STEEL HOLDS FIRM PIG IRON PRICES HAVE REACHED THE BOT TOM. ACCORDING TO INDICATIONS. RN AA ta ed i dl nT There will be no change in the price of structural steel for the present at any rate. This decision was reached by the members of the Structural Associa tion at a meeting held yesterday afternoon at the Holland House. They agreed that the price of steel should remain at its present figure of about $38 a ton. Among the members who attended the meet ing were C. M. Schwab, of the Carnegie Company; R. B. Mellon, Arthur V. Davis, A. J. Wurts, Frank D. Smith and representatives of the Cambria Iron Company, the Pencoyd Iron Works, Jones Laugh lin Company and the Passalc Rolling Mills. Officials of the Carnegie Company and the Fed eral Steel Campany had no comment to make yes terday In reply to Pittsburg dispatches stating that both companies contemplated a further cut in prices, and that they were soliciting business at any price. President Gary of the Federal Steel Com pany said through his representative that he never paid any attention to trade rumors, and the Car negie representatives would only say that they did not know what was going on at Pittsburg. Responsible heads of the other steel and iron companies were not inclined to discuss trade mat ters, bevond admitting that the $2 cut in pig iron to $16 might be followed by other reductions. On the other hand, the statement made recently by President Gary that prices seem to have reached the bottom is substantially borne out by the state ment that several large commission houses had bid for an eight months’ supply of certain brands of pig iron. It is considered noteworthy that this is the first offer to buy pig iron tor so long a period in advance. The contract, according to report, was not concluded because satisfactory terms could not be made. The question whether the new reciprocity scheme between the United States and Germany will in crease trade was discussed yesterday by men with interests in both countries. Emil I. Boas, agent for the Hamburg-American Line, said that he thought German wine would be more largely imported. The Holland-America Line would benefit the most by trade in this line, he said, because it has terminals at the mouth of the Rhine, along which are most of the vineyards. Be side wines, statuary and works of art were the only articles that received reductions in duty, and, Mr. Boas believed, they were not enough in de mand to make a great difference in trade. At the German Consulate the opinion was given that the reciprocity agreement would not greatly affect trade. “Americans,” it was explained, “like mixed drinks almost exclusively, while the Ger man wines and liquors are to be taken ‘straight.’ Except in some German bitters there will probably be but little trade stimulation.” At the Holland-America Line office there was a different opinion expressed. “There are many Ger mans in this country,” it was said, “and they drink a great deal of Rhine wines and Mozel wines. Many Americans also like these brands. A reduction in duty will mean a larger consumption of German wines in this country. We have not yet consulted importers, but we expect to confer with them in a few days.” Gustav H. Schwab, of the North German Lloyd Company, said he thought the reduction in duties would have a tendency to enlarge the amount of trade between the two nations. ‘It is a step in the right direction,” he said, ‘and should be encour aged HE HELPED ON THE FIRING LINE. THE REV. DWIGHT GALLOUPE DIES SUD DENLY AT HIS HOME IN NEWARK. Newark, N. J., July 11 (Special).—The Rev. Dwight Galloupe, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, was found dead this evening on the floor of his bathroom. Mr. Galloupe had an engagement to perform a marriage ceremony privately in the church, and there was also a vestry meeting for him to attend. As he did not appear at the church, Thomas Sisserton, a vestryman, who had a key to his house, near ithe church, went to look for Mr. Galloupe. Mrs. Galioupe, with her infant child, is at Geneva, N. Y., visiting her mother. Mr. Sisser ton wen: through the house and found the rector lying on the bathroom floor. As he was unable to arouse Mr. Galloupe, the vestryman called in Doe tor Aaron Baldwin, who, with County Physician Washington, said death had been caused by apo plexy. Mr. Galloupe was twenty-nine years of age, and made a record as chapiain of the 6th Regular In fantry at the battle of Santiago, where he was wounded by a piece of shell. He helped on the firing line to carry away the wounded. He was born at Stamford, N. Y., his father being Dr. Edward W. Galloupe. He was graduated from Alfred College, and studied medicine for two years at the Albany Medical College, and then took a two years’ course at Harvard, afterward entering the Episcopal min istry. His first charge was at Angelica, N. Y., and he served two years at the Cathedral at Portland, Me. From there, four years ago, he came to New. ark, where he immediately attra ted attention by his superior oratorical gifts. His health was af fected by his wound it Santiago. Last spring he went to Buenos Ayres and the Argentine Republic and returned a weck ago on a freight steamer. His hea.th was apparently restored. TRUCKLOAD OF ABSINTBE KRFIZED Patrick English, thirty-one vears old, an ex pressman, of No. 430 Van Brunt-st., Brooklyn, and James Scully, a laherer, of No. 280 Conover-gt_, Brooklyn, were arrested yesterday by Patrolmen Patrick McCarthy and Detective Jo*r F. Mitchell and taken to the Old Slip station. The policemen found the men at Whitehall and Water sts. English was driving a truck on which were ten cases containing absinthe. When accosted by the officers the prisoners were unable to ex plain where they had obtained the eases or where they were to take them. The cases were still unclaimed at the Old Sli station last night. They are marked “H. B. 2 4, 17, 9 11, 12. 17, 19, 20 and 16.” On the eases are the name Pernaud Fils, an anchor and the letters “P.

STIRRING SPEECH BY SENATOR El KINS BEFORE WEST VIRGINIA CONVENTION. A. B. WHITE NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR STRONG RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. STRONG RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. Charleston, W. Va., July 11.—-The feature of the Republican State Convention here to-day was the keynote speech of Senator Stephen B. Elkins as temporary chairman. The addresses of Charles T. Caldwell in presenting the name of A. B. White for Governor and of Mr. White in accepting the nomination and other addresses were notably brilliant and received with marked demonstrations. Mr. White has been an editor and a member of the State and campaign committees for years. He is forty-four vears old, but has been in politics ever since he graduated at Marietta College in 1875. He was Internal Revenue Collector under Har rison as well as under McKinley. He is a son of E. C. White, the author and educator. The convention was the most largely attended in the history of the party in this State. Besldes the nomination of a State ticket, the gathering was made the occasion of the opening of the Presi dential campaign and the canvass of Stephen B. Elkins for re-election to the United States Senate. While the Republicans carried the State four years ago the plurality was close, and the margin in the Legislature was so slight as to be in dispute. Everything is at stake between the contending parties this year. The convention was called to order this afternoon. Senator Elkins was selected as temporary chair man. He was greeted with continuous cheering then as well as when he entered the hall. Senator Elkins, temporary chairman, said in part: Another National campaign i8 at hand. The Re publican party appeals to the people for a con tinuance of confidence, not only on the record it has made in the past, but on what it is doing now and what it proposes to do in the future. The history of the Republican party for the last forty vears 1s substantially the history of the Na tion's progress during this period—the greatest in the history of any country. The Republican party has shown {ts ability to wisely administer the affairs of the Republic, defend its flag on sea and land, maintain tne National credit and promote the welfare of the people. It points with pride to its doctrines and sound policies, its great achievements in peace and war, its success in mighty undertakings and the things it has done to advance the honor and glory of the country, as reasons why it should be further trusted. The Democratic party should not be trusted on the policies {t has advocated and the record it has made. During the last forty years, from 1860 to 1900, it has had control of the Government in all its branches only once, the four years from 1802 to 1896. The effect of Democratic legislation dur ing these four years casts the darkest shadow that rests upon the prosperity and progress of the coun try. It was during this period that the Nation's progress was turned backward, confidence was de stroyved, business stood still, public and private debts increased, our home markets were given to foreigners, value of property of all kinds shrunk, opportunity for employment diminished, wages were reduced and want and distress stalked abroad as the closest companions of the people. This rec ord is too full of business ruin and distress, and the picture is too dark to be soon forgotten, much less inspire a renewal of confidence. Congressman Freer was unanimously elected per manent chairman, and made a stirring speech on taking the chair. SENTIMENTS OF THE PLATFORM. The resolutions reaffirm the Philadelphia plat form, pledge loyal support to McKinley and Roose velt and indorse Senators Elkins and Scott and Congressmen Dovener, Dayton and Freer. Oppo sition to the payment of the old Virginia debt is most emphatically pledged. The resolutions con tinue: We denounce the disfranchisement in certain States of colored voters because they are colored voters. Such laws are a viclation of the Constitu tion of the United States and are unjust and im moral. We demand for every citizen, white or black, rich or poor, high or low, equal rights be fore the law and an equal chance to develop the talents and gifts that God has given him. We denounce the platform adopted by the Demo cratic State Convention at Parkersburg in June as false and insincere. It is a straddle on the finan cial question. We affirm that the Democratic lead ers of this State do not believe what they preach. They are not sincerely for the free coinage of sil ver in the ratio of 16 to 1, and they are not against expansion as they pretend to be. They now preach the free coinage of silver because it was forced on them by Mr. Bryan, and they pretend to be op posed to expansior. and what they call imperialism because they hove to fool the people and to dis tract attention from their own sorry failure at government in the State and Nation. We view with pity and alarm the condition of anarchy now existing in China, affecting the prop erty rights of Americans in the Empire, threaten ing the destruction of lives and property and en dangering the rights of commerce secured to Americans under existing treaties and the law of nations. We express our confidence in the firm but wisely conservative attitude of the National Administration in its determination to preserve the treaty rights and all other rights of Americans acquired in China under the law of nations. We inderse the firm avowal of the National Govern ment to hold to accountability for loss or dam age inflicted upon American citizens the authority in the Empire chargeable with the maintenance of law and order and the guardianship of the life, property and rights of Americans. And we con gratulate the country and the Administration on the facet that growing out of the Spanish war we have near at hand ships and men to send to the relief of our besieged citizens in that foreign country. Charles T. Caldwell, of Parkersburg, presented the name of Albert Blakeslee White for Governar, He was followed by seconding speeches from many of the counties. White was nominated by acelama tion amid much enthusiasm. He was escorted to the hall, and in accepting the nomination dis cussed State issues at length. At 11 o'cleck the Convention adjourned till 10 o'clock to-morrow. oe a a ema NORTH DAKOTA REPUBLICAN TICKET. FULL SET OF OFFICERS NOMINATED—ADMINIS TRATION INDORSED IN THE PLATFORM. Grand Forks, N.

Philadelphia, July 1l.—According to officials of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad an attempt to wreck the Washington express came near being success ful early this morning at Folsom, a short distance outside of this city. The train consisted of two sleepers, two day coaches and three baggage cars, and left Washington at 11:30 o'clock last night. It was due here at 3:10 o'clock tnis morning. While going at a good rate of speed it ran into an open switch at Folsom. The engine was overturned, and the three haggage cars were derailed, but no ong was injured. An examination of the switch by the railroad men disclosed the fact that it had been tam pered with for the apparent purpost of wreck ing a train. Whether it was done with the inten tion of wrecking the express could only be con Jectured. Tt is believed, however, by many in the vicinity that it was the work of small boys. The railroad officials have placed detectives on the case and have offered a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of those tampering with the switch, It required considerable time to get the deralled cars hack on the tracks, and there was a consequent de lay In the running of other trains, General Agent Rust, of the United States Express Company, stated that, notwithstanding reports to the contrary, there was no gold bullion belonging to the Government on the train, and whatever money was being carried was what came in the ordinary course of business. This, ne said, was all in dynamite proof safes. The loss to the express company will be trifling. nin ROTELLO REFUSE 'S TO ANSWER An Interesting question has come up before the Commissioner of Labor Statistics at Albany as an outcome of the recent strike at the Cornell Dam. John W. Macklin, Commissioner of the Bureau of Biatlstics of Labor, has written to Angelo.Rotello, who was the supposed leader, for a full account of the strike te be published in “The Quarterly Bulle tin.” The letter also states that if Rotello does not answer the accompanying questions he will ba guilty of a misdemeanor and liable to a fine of $200. Rotello has refused to answer the questions, and a letter was written yesterday to the Commissioner by David H. Hunt, Rote! o's attorney, to the effect that Rotello was not (ne leader, and therefore knows nothing about the cause of the strike. Mr. Hunt has prepar.. papers for twenty-three damage suits against Cc: man, Breanchard Cole man, the contractors, who had the Italians ar rested, claiming $100,000 damages for false arrest, as every one of the strikers was acquitted by a jury when tried at White Plains. AMERICAN ATHLETES NOT FORCED TO COMPETE ON SUNDAY--MEN IN GOOD CONDITION. Paris, July 11.-—-What appeared to be a disagreea ble obstacle in the way of the American athletes participating in the international sports, which be gin on Saturday. has been amicably and satisfac torily settled. To-night a meeting was held in the rcoms of the Racing Club, and the question of Sunday games, which it was thought had been fa vorably arranged, again appeared, and some of the most important contests for the Americans were fixed for that day. When the original plans of the meeting were outlined the sports were scheduled to begin on Sunday, which is the day of all big contests in France. The refusal of the American teams to enter was so general that Mr Spalding and his assistant, Mr. De Garmendia, made strong representations to the French officials in charge of the sports, who finally agreed that as Saturday is a national holiday in France the sports should be begun on that day. Recently they found that on account of the mill tary parade to be held in the vicinity of the grounds it would be impossible to begin the con tests at such an hour as not to conflict with this great review, and on the arrival of the American athletes the latter discovered that many of the races had been set for Sunday. This situation aroused some feeling, and the teams from Prince ten University, Pennsylvania and Syracuse stated emphatically that they would decline to take any part unless modifications should be made. This brought about a meeting between the captains and managers of all the teams, Messrs. Sullivan and De Garmend!la and the French officials controlling the games. Mr. Sullivan, for New-York; Mr. Ellis, for Penn svlvania, and Mr. Martell, for Georgetown, ex plained the American contention and the strong feeling of the American colleges against partici pating in Sunday games, and they suggested cer tain modifications in the programme. M. Fabian, Director of Sports, and other French officials listened to the statements of the Ameri cans, and replied, explaining why it had been nec essary to go back to the original programme, and why it was necessary to have some of the contests fall on Sunday. The Princeton University men and those from Pennsylvania were especially emphatic in the po sition that it would be impossible for them to con test in such circumstances, and the Frenchmen agreed to do all in their power to arrange modi fications. The meeting then took the form of a schedule committee, and after hours of deliberation and work the whole programme was satisfactorily ar ranged. The changes made will push forward the trials in the 100 metre races, so that the races will be finished on Saturday. This is also done with the hurdle race at 110 metres. The finals in the S% metre race will go over Sunday and be concluded on Monday. It was agreed in regard to the field contests that in the pole vault, broad jump and others which occur on Sunday, in which American contestants are entered, the Americans should be permitted to make the contest alone, either on Sat urday or Monday, as they chose, their records to be counted at that time and duly credifed in fig uring the results. This arrangement, while elimi nating the Sunday question, is regarded as a han dicap by the Americans, in that men competing by themselves lose some of the enthusiasm, life and vim which the competition of athletes of other countries at the same time would bring. Ail the American athletes are now in Paris. the last contingent to reach here being the Pennsyl vania men, who arrived this evening from London and went immediately to the hotel at Versailles, where they will be quartered. The Princeton men are at Neuilly, and the Syracuse, Georgetown, Michigan, Chicago University and New-York Athletic Club men are at various hotels in this city. All the contestants are in fine condition ex cept George W. Orton, of the University of Penn sylvania, runner, who seems a little overtrained. He came ahead of the rest of his team and to-day took light exercise at the track. Duffy, of George town, finds the new conditions somewhat of an obstacle. He says he does not feel so secure as on a dirt track, to which he is accustomed, but hopes 10 overcome the sensation before Saturday. All the men felt the effects of the English cli mate, but say that the few days spent here have done much to improve theme The Michigan men exercised lightly this afternoon, taking some time with their trainer in practising starts. Robert Garrett, of Princeton, who was a little under the weather in Eugland, is again in good shape for work with the discus. This afternoon he showed good form. Nearly all the contestants were busy training at the grounds to-day. The Americans experienced some handicap on account of the difference between French and American sporting rules, under the former of which the contests will take place. The hurdles, for instance, are somewhat higher than those in America, and the turf take-off makes a new diffi culty. The method of starting also is quite dif ferent, but it has been agreed that Martell, of Georgetown shall be permitted to assist in all the starts, and he will translate the words of the French starter for the benefit of those who do not speak French. The grounds of the Racing Club, where the con tests will take place, are situated in a pretty grove in the Bois de Boulogne. They are not extensive, and it is feared there will be some difficulty in preparing for the crowds which it is expected will attend the games. GOOD PLAY AT NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE. GOOD PLAY Al NAGARA-ON-THE-LARKNE, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., July 1 (Special).— Pleasant weather greeted the players to-day in the Canadian tennis championship being held on the courts of the Queen's Royal Hotel. Several of the players are slightly disabled and have been obliged to default in the scratch singles. W. V. Clothier, the Pennsylvania State champion, had been kept indoors two days with an ulcerated tooth, and to day in his match with A. C. MeMaster, of To ronto, was too weak to play his game, and was beaten in straight sets. Clothier in condition is easily fifteen better than McMaster. The other un fortunate is Harold Hackett, of Yale, who has a bad heel and has been obliged to default in the scratch singles, but will play in the doubles. To day's feature was the match between W. A. Larned, of Summit, and H. E. Avery, of Detroit, in the handicap singles. L.arned owed thirty to Avery, and after losing the first set took the next two. Avery had a lead of 4-3 on the second set, but got one of his wild streaks and kept the “Shag gers’ busy. The first meeting of the cracks will occur to-morrow, when W. A. Larned, the Summit player, meets E. P. Fischer, the Metropolitan champion. As both are in form a good match is expected. The preliminary matches in doubles will be played to-morrow, the event having a strong entry. The scores follow: Men's singles (first round)—A. C. McMaster, To ronto, beat W. J. Clothier, Swarthmore, 6-3, 6-1; George Wagner, Cornell, beat A. Crerar, Ottawa, f—4, 6-8, 7-5; W. A. Larned, Summit, beat Park Wright, Buffalo, by default; E. P.

TENNIS. SUALLPOX AT CAPE NOME. A SCORE OF CASES TEN DAYS AGO—-GREAT NEED OF MEANS TO CHECK INFECTION. NEED OF MEANS TO CHECK INFECTION. san Francisco, July 11.—The steamer St. Paul, thirteen days from St. Michael, reports a great many cases of smallpox and typhoid fever at Nome. When she sailed it was thought, however, that the further spread of the diseases had been checked. Washington, July 11.—The Treasury Department to-day received a telegram from Lieutenant Jarvis, of the Revenue Cutter service, saying that there had been twenty cases of smalipux to July 2 at (ape Nome, and asking for me ical officers and supplies. Lieutenant Jarvis says that measures have been taken to isoiate the cases and combat the disease. The telegram is dated Cape Nome, July 2, and was sent to Port Townsend, the nearest telezraph station. Lieutenant Jarvis was sent to Cape Nome as the special representative of the Treasury De partment. He does not say whether these cases have appeared in the crowded camps of Cape Neme or on shipboard. Two vessels that started for Cape Nome recently found smallpox aboard shortly after leaving Dutch Harber, and it is possible that the cases spoken, of are on board these vessels, although there are many chances that the disease has broken out ashore. The Treasury Department has ordered 10060 vaccine points sent to Nome and a number of physicians also have gone there. I Another telegram was received at the Treasury Department late this afternoon from Lieutenant Jarvis at Cape Nome, dated June 29, three days before the telegram received this morning. The message is as follows: Ten cases smallpox at this port in last three days. Cne death to-day. All were passengers from steamship Oregon. Oregon sailed for Seattle. Have established camp and removed cases there. Urge proper officers and sufficient vaccine matter be sent. Fifteen thousand people in Immediate vicinity. Absolutely no civil authority here and I have had to take measures to isolate and prevent spread of disease. Steamers Ohio and Santa Anna released from quarantine. Passengers all vacci nated and vessels cleaned as well as possible. Pa tients on Egg Island improving. No new cases arrived by vessel. The department will send ona or more surgeons t> Nome at once with a supply of medicines, In cluding a sufficient quantity of vaccine points. WHY MARTIAL LAW AT NOME CITY.

Seattle, Wash., July 11.—-The steamer City of Seattle has returned from Alaska with $000,000 in gold from the Klondike. Of the total amount dust valued at $500,000 was shipped gut by the Canadian Bank of Commerce and the Bank of British North America of Dawson to the Seattle Assay Office. Besides this there was $100,000 of individual gold. Dawson passengers say the Klondike clean up is progressing satisfactorily. WANTS A RECEIVER FOR SCHOOLHOUSES BUILDERS AT ODDS OVER PROFITS ON PUBLIC CONTRACTS. Samuel Untermyer, as counsel for Peter J. Bren nan, contractor, applied to Justice O'Gorman in the Supreme Court yesterday for the appointment of a receiver aver the contracts held by Patrick J. Walsh for the erection .of public schools in One hundred-and-twentieth-st., Twentieth-st., Onehun dred-and-fourth-st. and One-hundred-and-fifth-st., and Harrison-ave., Brooklyn. Mr. Untermyer al leged that Brennan and Walsh were co-partners in the contracts for these schools, but that Walsh wanted to take all the profits, instead of dividing with Brennan under a verbal agreement entered into between them in December, 189%. According to counsel's statement, Walsh and Brennan made an agreement in 1836 to secure tha contracts for the erection of several public schools. Brennan was to he the contractor for some of them and Walsh for the others, and the profits were to be equally divided. Brennan obtained contracts for a number of schools, and, Mr. Untermyer said, divided the $76,000 profits with Walsh. Walsh refused to recog nize any partnership in any of the schools held by him in his name, counsel said. Thomas Ennever, for Walsh, denied that any partnership existed between Walsh and Brennan. They were friends, and Brennan, who was a mason, asked Walsh in 1886 to help him in getting some school contracts, to which Walsh consented. Brennan got three contracts, and then Walsh se cured three more. Counsel said it was unfair to ask for the appointment of a receiver for those schools in Walsh's name without asking for ena for the schools in Brennan's name. Justice O'Gor man reserved his decision. KTFAMER RUNRK INTO DOCK Newburg, N. Y., July 11.—The steamer Emeline, of the Newburg and Haverstraw Line, while land ing an excursion party here to-night, ran head on against the dock, her bow mounting the timber.

STAFF DEFEATS THE LINE. wi COLONEL BATES CONTRIVES TO WARD COLONEL BATES CONTRIVES TO WARD OFF AN ELECTION IN THE SEV ENTY-FIRST REGIMENT Line and staff jocked horns at the quarterly meeting of the Tlst Regiment on Tuesday even ing. and the contest was prolonged far into the pight. At the meeting in March a committee was appointed to nominate candidates for the vacant majorship and lieutenant-coloneley. The committee had tried several times to report, but Colonel Dates prevented any report by refus ing to call a meeting of the officers. The quar terly meeting was inevitatle, and Colonel Bates beard that the committee would present its re port. This alarmed him, for from the first the friends of Lieutenant-Colonel Clinton H. Smith, of the volunteers, have been in control of the committee, so Colonel Bates sent around to all the staff an urgent request toc be present. When the meeting was called to ordef it was found that the staff was represented by nine members. The reading of the minutes of the March meeting precipitated a protest from Captain A. J. Bleecker, of Company G. He de clared that the minutes read as if all the officers of the regiment had taken part in the appoint ment of the committee. “Now, we all know,” said Captain Bleecker, “that staff officers have no vote or voice in the election of fleld and line officers, and I wish the minutes corrected to show that distinction.” The correction was made, and then an officer called for the report of the Nominating Commit tee on lieutenant-coionel and major. COMMITTEE'S REPORT OUT OF ORDER. “I do not wish to hear the report of that com mittee.” sald Colonel Bates. “With all due respect to the Colonel,” =aid a member of the committee, “it is not a question of wishes; it is question of perliamentary pro cedure. The report is due from the committee, gnd it must be heard “rT I insist that the report of the committee is out of order,” sald Colonel! Bates firmly. “This sort of business will not do in the Tlst Regiment,” said another officer. “The committee wes eppointed for a specific purpose, which it says is accomplished, and now when it seeks to report it is smothered.”

“Appeal! Appeal!” came from several other members, and the officer on the floor made a formal appeal from the decisio of the Chair. Colonel Bates put the motion, and the Chair was sustained by a majority of two, all the staff officers voting to sustain the decision. As soon as the vote was announced an officer tock the foor and asked sarcastically: “Since re ports of committees are not in order, will the Chair kindly inform=us what is in order?” Derisive laughter and some confusion followed this question, and Colonel Bates had to rap loudly for order. Then he said, “Resolutions are in order, gentiemen.” In 2 moment an officer was on his feet with this resolution: ae oived, That it is the sense of the officers of the Tlst Regiment that Lieutenant-Colonel 8mith, of the volunteers, and Major J. H. Wells be the candidates, respectively, for these offices in the Tlst regiment, to fill the vacancies now ex ting.™ “The resolution is out of order,” said Colonel Bates, A hot protest was made by several officers against the ruling, in which some sharp lan guzge is said to have passed. Finally an appeal was taken from the decision of the Colonel. PROTESTS FROM LINE OFFICERS. Just before the vote was taken on the appeal an officer arose and asked, “Are the staff officers present going to be allowe=d to vote?” “lI see no reason why they should not.” said Colonel Bates. “I @o,” said the officer, hotly. “Only a mo ment ago the minutes were changed to show that the staff officers had nothing to do with the appointment of a committee to nominate officers. This was done because every one knows that staff officers have no right to vote for line or field officers. Now, on this motion; which is practically the same as an election momination, the staff officers are to be permit ted to vote. I wish to say that such action is arbitrary and unjust.” “There is no precedent for it in the Guard.” sald another officer. “I challenge Colonel Bates to gehow a single instance where staff officers have voted on a question that involved in any wey the question of election, in this or any other regiment. For the staff to vote now would be to meke a display of bad taste and subserviency that iz not pleasant to contemplate.” “If the staff are going to choose our officers for us,” sald another officer, “it is high time for Ue to turn over all elections to them. It is a fine spectacle, isn’t it, for the T1lst Regiment to put itself in the position of being run by the staf? x Colonel Bates pounded on the table for order, and then put the appeal. The vote stood 17 to 15 agains: the appeal. Without the staff votes, the vote ggainst the Colonel Jould have been &:most TWO 10 one. One of the purposes of the meeting was to elect 2 new treasurer in place of Lieutenant Colonel 8mith, as Colonel Bates holds that his @ismis=a! from the Guard carries with it the loss of his office in the civil capacity of treasurer.

PROTESTS FROM LINT OFFICTRS Just before the vote was taken on the appeal an officer arose and asked, “Are the staff officers present going to be gllowe=d4 to vote?” “I see no reason why they should not.” said Colonel Bates. “I @o,” said the officer, hotly. “Only a mo ment ago the minutes were changed to show that the staff officers had nothing to do with the appointment of a committee to nominates officers. This was done because every one knows that staff officers have no right to vote for line or field officers. Now, on this motion; which is practically the same as an election momination, the staff officers are to be permit ted to vote. I wish to say that such action is arbitrary and unjust.” “There is no precedent for it in the Guard.” said another officer. “I challenge Colonel Bates to ehow gingie instance where staff officers have voted on a question that involved in any wey the question of election, in this or any other regiment. For the staff to vote now would be to meke a display of bad taste and subserviency that is not pleasant to contemplate.” “If the staff are going to choose our officers for us,” sald another officer, “it is high time for ue to turn over all elections to them. It is a fine spectacle, ien’t it, for the T1st Regiment to put itself in the position of being run by the staf? Colonel Bates pounded on the table for order, and then put the appeal. The vote stood 17 to 15 agains: the appeal. Without the staff votes, the vote ggainst the Colonel would have been 2imost TWO 10 one.

When Hawthorne Hl was seen yesterday by a Tribune reporter he said that the police and private agents were endeavoring to find the whareabouts of the old man, but so far they had been unsuccess ful. “Dr. Sawyier,” Mr. Hill said, “left Johnstown without informing any one of his intention to do so. He was seen Ev sevaral persons who knew him standing upon the station platform. We have as certained from the ticket agent that a man an swering his description bought a ticket for New York. It was of course, thought that he had come to visit my wife and myself, and it was not until I received a letter from Johnstown that I knew anything about the matter.

He is the defendant in a slander suit for $10,000 dam ages brought by Mrs. James H. Tracy, the wife of an undertaker, who alleges that in the trout 's on the beach last Sunday Mr. De Wolf addressed her as a common woman. Mr. De Wolf lives at No. 190 Lincoln Place, and draws a salary of $4,000 a year. Incidental to the suit for slander Mr. De Wolf appeared yesterday before Magistrate Worth, in the Gates-ava. court, on a charge of assault pre ferred against him by Lec M.

The hearing in the case was adjourned until July 18, and the Magistrate paroled Mr. De Wolf until that time. Kenna's father told the Magis trate that last Sunday afternoon his son drove with Mrs. Tracy and her two children down the Parkway to Coney Island, where the two children and Leo removed their outer clothing, and with their bathing suits, which they wore underneath, went into the surf. Leo ducked the two children In the waves, and there was great screaming. It is then alleged that Mr. De Wolf came along and “viclently took hold of the defendant's hands and twisted and wrenched the same and held defend ans for a period of twenty minutes against his will” Mr. Tracy, who drove up later to the beach, sald esterday court: “I saw Mr. De Wolf grab the oy like a dog, and, getting out of my buggy, I ran up and asked by what authority he handled the bey in that way. During the trouble he vilified ii wife."

r. De Wolf told the Magistrate that it was his duty to see that the park iaws were obeyed. “I was down on the beach,” he continued, “and some ople came to me and said that a big young fel ow was ducking a couple of little children. I went there and ordered RS ia to come out, as it was park property and bathing was not allowed.” ‘What about the charge that Mrs. Tracy makes that you used insulting language to her?” asked a reporter of Mr, De Wolf yesterday. wre is no truth in it whatever,” was the repiy.

WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO GET THE SODA WATER HIS EXCURSION SAILED. WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO GET THE SODA WATER HIS EXCURSION SAILED. The Lenox Road Mcthodist Episcopal Church, of Flatbush, is without a Sunday school superinten dent.

The soda was to be sold for five cents a glass and the proceeds were to be used to help pay the expenses of the excursion. Mr. Brown was informed at the soda water fac tory that the order had been entirely forgotten. When Mr. Brown returned to the pier the steamer was making {ts way down the Bay. It is said that the crowd nad grown impatient over Mr. Brown's failure to return speedily, and that an order had been given by some one to cast off.

As an example of satire with none of the sharp edges worn down, the following from the Demo cratic “Jersey City News” is entitled to a place among the gems of its kind: Mr. Bryan has at least three stanch supporters in Hudson County, Congressman Daly, Mayor Hoos and Ex Thomas McEwan. These three gentlemen are credited with being the three most popular individuals on the top of the earth Just how far they can transfer their popularity to the idol of their worship remains to be seen: but, at any rate, Mr. Bryan is sure of at least three votes here. If the eye of Mr. Bryan should happen to light on the above extract, he will have to rub himself hard to learn if he is awake. and if he is at all acquainted with Hudson County politics he will conclude that it is the enemy's country sure enough, wiin an emphasis that would be hard to pronounce in four syllables.

Newspapers that think the present political campaign is to be won by arming imperialistic scarecrows with corporation broomsticks and setting them up in the highways and byways where wheat is 78 cents a bushel and silver is worth an eighth less than it was four years ago will pre* ably not be compelled to keep their first pages open late on election night to announce the majorities for Bryan in New-Jersey.

There are so many political hornets’ nests in South Jersey that it is one of the easiest things In the world to stir one up. This is the reason why, when the North Jersey Democratic Pluto crats said to the South Jersey Democratic Popo crats, “S-h-h-h! don't touch the silver issue: Just gn in and kick the bottom out of imperial ism—that’s the stuff,” the South Jersey Demo cratic Popocrats replied: “What in a hundred and twenty degrees in the shade do you take us for?” or words to that effect. The natural infer ence is that the bulbous craniums of the South Jersey Popocrats were hot, and that they did not intend to permit a little thing like imperial ism, with more holes in it than there are in an old fashioned skimmer, to overshadow their be loved free coinage of silver—not by a 18 to 1 sight. That's the way the Popocrats down that way talk when they think their political pre rogatives are being usurped by either the Re publican octupus or the Democratic cuttlefish. Honestly, there is trouble in South Jersey, and it is said that Clarence Atkinson, he of the supple pen: John J. Crandall, he of the sten torian tones, and a recent arrival in Burlington County from Washington, who aspired to dele gate honors at Kansas City, and who is also an accredited protege of William J. Bryan, are get ting ready to make the North Jersey Democratic Plutocrats recant or eat crow.

Up to 12 o’clock midnight, when the Planetary Headquarters for Political Nightmares closed up, there were two booms dimly visible on the outskirts of a nearly full moon for Colonel Will iam J. Barbour—one for member of Congress from the Vth New-Jersey District, and one for Governor of that State, But up to the same hour Colonel Barbour, who knows a political hawk from a bird of freedom, had not sent out inquiries for his mental equilibrium or gone away for the summer to escape accepting a nomination for either place. Seriously, Colonel Barbour is a level headed, wide awake gentle man, who can measure the difference between pursuit and possession as accurately as any Re publican in the State, and doesn’t need to be told when it is time to begin or to quit.

Up to 12 o’clock midnight, when the Planetary Headquarters for Political Nightmares closed up, there were two booms dimly visible on the outskirts of a nearly full moon for Colonel Will fam J. Barbour—one for member of Congress from the Vth New-Jersey District, and one for Governor of that State, But up to the same hour Colonel Barbour, who knows a political hawk from a bird of freedom, had not sent out inquiries for his mental equilibrium or gone away for the summer to escape accepting a nomination for either place. Seriously, Colonel Barbour is a level headed, wide awake gentle man, who can measure the difference between pursuit and possession as accurately as any Re publican in the State, and doesn’t need to be told when it is time to begin or to quit.

Judge Blair decided in the Hudson County Court vesterday that a man (n signing his name to a worthless check did not commit forgery. John S. Kruger was a grocer, of Hoboken, and his place was destroyed by fire. It was insured, and, antici pating receiving the insurance, Kruger made a check and dated it four days later. A wholesals firm pressed him hard for a settlement, and he assigned to them the claim against the insurance. The check returned marked ‘no funds,” and the holder of the check had Kruger indicted for for gery. His lawyer made a motion yesterday that the indictment be quashed, as a check dated sev eral days later than that on which it was drawn made it a note. He also contended that Krugesr's signature was genuine and not a forgery. Prose cutor Erwin cited authorities to sustain his con tention that the indictment was proper, but Judge Blair ordered the indictment quashed. r WAKE A TOUR OF INSPECTION.

i Montclair, July 11 (Special).—The people of this place are beginning te wonder what is going to happen next. The latest sensation was a report made by F. B. Littlejohn, an expert accountant, on the books of the town officials, which he declared had been kept so badly that he found it a matter to straighten them out. Dishonesty was not alleged, but the expert recommended the em ployment of a regular bookkeeper, whose books the officials could have easy access to, if they desired.

People with a sense of humor sometimes see things on the turf which force them to smile. At Brighton in the last race yesterday F. Hitchcock, a Jockey Club steward, was in the stand, grinning like a Cheshire cat, while McCue was playing monkey tricks with the favorite, Carbuncle. Bryan pulied Towne out of the way after he had decided that Adlai would he a moe docile and tractable mate in the political harness. McCue pulled Car buncle out of the way. Litile McCue has a pull on tha turf even stronger than Freedman's pull with Croker. What a iypical Tammany Coroner McCue will be when he grows up, provided the Croker dynasty retains its despotic hold on the city government! Not 2ven the undertakers who have come back from Kansas City ean teach McCue anything about dead ones. That boy drinks mortyary cocktails, cooled with broken ice from the Morgue. Wherever he goes cemetery shadows and palls, crape and tears and wailings are above him and around Rim. He is the Turf Coffin Trust of to-day. He buried Carbuncle in a deep, deep grave, and Hitch cock had so little respect for the mourners that he laughed loudly while the funeral knell was rolling. The sea breezes were so strong that men were forced to cling to their hats. A marvellous place for July racing! At no spot within dozens of miles from Madison Square was there a cooler building than the Brighton stand. While New Yorkers suffer from tormenting heat, even on Mur ray Hill, the visitors to the Brighton course re joice over winds from the Atlantic which bring healing upon their wings. Recall the words of the ©ld missionary verse— Where every prospect pleases, Arc only man is vile. At Brighten it is every breeze that pleases (and there are many of those pleasing brzezes), but sometimes the betting ring is vile. Those owners and trainers who fail to aid the association in its efforts to provide agreeable sport gre notably in fault. Certain owners and trainers are continually whining from the first day of each year to the last because they say the racecourse owners do not “hang up” enough money and do not impoverish themselves in undying toil to enrich the owners and trainers. In very truth mest of the owners and trainers get more than they de serve—and the jockeys ~lsc. This year the number of sound horses in training in and near this city is larger than ever beforé. Since the first day of May the weather conditions for training horses have heen exceptionally favorable. No sweeping epidemics of sickness have stalked through the ‘stables. The clubs have been more generous in their offer® of prizes in 190 than they were in earlier years. Owners and trainers have not done their duty in entering and starting their horses, and on many days the contests have been thin and Jean, while the stables have been spilling over with runners that were pining to run. In most cases the trainers are more guilty than the owners, because they advise the owners not to start their horses unlegg the trainers think that they (the trainers) have ‘Soft snap” and ean put down their money with nine chances out of ten that it will come back to them promptly with an ample unearned increment. Toc many poker games are going on day and might in the stables on Long Island. In the wild pursuit of the missing card for the. inside straight or the four-flush, 100 many trainers forget their duties. State Senztors Timothy “Dry Dollar” Sulli van, “Fem” Grady, McCarren and others are sin cere devotees of lofty gport—the kind of sport in which the bridle is off. What nobler work could Senators Sullivan Grady and McCarren take up at Albany next winter than the introduction and push ing of a bill which will make it a felony for train €rs or jockeys to play poker except on alternate Fridays between 3 a. m and five minutess past 3! Let a bill of that sort become a law and racing will leap upward with a bound. A second bil] should punish with death any stable boy who plays craps except on the 31st davs of Sepiember and April, and a third bill should impose a fine on cGrath. the caterer, when he mixes mustard with his butter, Congressman Sulzer and ex-Judge Divver are heart and soul for these reforms. They will de liver several speeches in this campaign against poolrooms, poker plaving, craps and MeGrath's buttered mustard and weakened milk. Should Governor Roosevelt permit Corporal Asa Bird Gar diner, of the Gardiners of prehistoric Mesopotamia, to keep his piace as District Attorney it is ex pected the Gardening Bird, whose ancestry led the army of the Hittites, the Elamites and the Gad arenes when those allied hosts captured Nineveh, gixteen thousand years before Tiglath-Plleser founded Tammany Hall, will join eagerly in the crusade. In 1888 Corporal Gardiner's campaign shibboleth was, “To with Reform!” If Gov ernor Roosevelt removes the dqougnty Corporal his ery will be “To with Roosevelt!” It has been a remarkable series of dry, clear, warm days which has favored the race tracks in this State this year. The weather has been high ly favorable for sport, but the owaers and trainers, have been lamentably averse to running their horses when every consideration of the present and future of the turf should have prevailed upon them to be liberal. Brighton in these days has a tre mendously fast track, so fast that it was silly on the part of any one to try to stir up a mighty fuss over the running of those queer selling platers Jack Point and The Kentuckian in that queer selling plate affair called the Brighton Handicap. Any selling plater worth $7 can break a record at Br.ghton this summer. In the third race yester day only three ran, out of a list of eight prob able starters. The three were Brigadier, Lew Kraft and Lord Baltimore. Brigadier was at 10 to i on. He won the race, but Ransch rode him carelessly and Lew Kraft almost defeated him. The time for a mile and a furlong was 1:52 4-5. That was fast What person fit to be at large rates Lew Kraft as a high class racehorse? Yet Lew Kraft was beaten by a head in 1:32 4-5! Never since Cain matched hens with Abel to run a hundred yards on the meadow just outside the gate of the Garden of Eden has more non sense been exoressed about time in races than that which has been poured forth this month since those selling platers Jack Point and The Kentuckian began to break records at Brighton. Time in races is not a conclusive test of the actual merits of racers. In its way time is use fui in private trials. Great runners rarely make great records unless they are especially matched against time. Trotters are classed by their time exploits. Runners are not. Nothing betrays more surely the underdone intellect on the turf than ecntinual chatter about time records and breaking records. As a rule, in great races great runners co r and crush inferior borses in a hundred i strenuous fight, Then the inferior horse goes to pieces, and the great horse canters home alone and breaks no record. So it always was, and so it always will be, world without end. It was hot in Manhattan, but cool at Brighton. The attendance was fair. Tt should have been larger. In the course of centuries the masses may learn that Brighton is usuzlly eool when Manhattan is hot. But the Brighton railroad service was stricken with creeping paralysis of the insane when Brookiyn Rapid Transit ‘ook hold of it, and it now has the blind staggers. O'Connor rode the favorite, Heliobas, in the first race ably, but ople could not forget his death trance ride on er Ladyship on Tuesday. That was one of the worst rides seen outside of a kindergarten for weeks. Bables in the nursery ride toy horses better than O'Connor rode Her Ladyship. Heliobas 1s People with a sense of humor sometimes see things on the turf which force them to smile. At Brighton in the last race yesterday F. Hitchcock, a Jockey Club steward, was in the stand, grinning like a Cheshire cat, while McCue was playing monkey tricks with the favorite, Carbuncle.

BF BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. JOHN DUNCAN'S 80XS, Agents, New Yorke Now a fast sprintér, and he can carry weight. He is a powerful fellow. The right money was on Heliobas. It was powerful money. Vesuvian was second and Meehanus third. O'Connor's riding upon the favorite, Matchim, in the record race might have pleased Wharton Bar ker or Edward Atkinson, if either had heen pres ent, but it was wavering, wabbling, whirling and vertiginous. Commander Miller was a facile and ductile first, although he was ridden by Richards, the boy brakeman, whose fame as a trunk line detainer is steadily spreading. It was a race for maldens—that is. for horses of either sex or no sex at all that had never won a prize. Commander Miller, like Robert Bruce's spider. which sald to the ant, “Go to, thou sluggard!’ had adopted the motto, “Try, try again!” Commander Miller, like the spider and like the other insect without wings, finally “got there” Mr. Bryan is also without wings, but he has taken to himself the spider's motto, “Try, try again!” Yet he will not “get PORTS DORTSMIEN: ere, The firet race fell to the favorite, Heliobas. In the second, the favorite, Matchim, fell. In the third the favorite, Bounteous, got the verdict, but his rider, Maher, was overconfident, and Orderer was on!y a few inches behind him at the end. In the fourth race Ransch, on the favorite, Briga dier, was overconfident, and narrowly missed throw ing away first honors. Lew Kraft was almost at Brigadier's nose in the last stride. Tower of Candles. winner of the first part of the Double Event, and Lady of the Valley led the bet ting on the fifth race. Elizabeth M., ridden by the ex-outlaw jockey Donnelly, came next in favor. Sweet Lavender, Harlem Lane, Scurry, Queen Pepper and several others were withdrawn. Tower of Candles had an important advantage in the weights over Elizabeth M. She was the first off at the start, and led all the way. Elizabeth M. was not well ridden by Donnelly, and was unplaced. Only five ran in the last race, and Carbuncie was the favorite. He was not even placed. McCue manipulated him in fine McCue style. The track was very fast, but the time was very slow, only 1:48 3-5 for a mile and a sixteenth. Yet Carbuncle was unplaced. Posthaste was an easy winner. Earlier in the season McLaughlin, who tralns for Oo Richards, raced Posthaste more than once when the colt was wholly unfit to race. Jc Laughlin’s record as a trainer is not as clean as his record was as a jockey when he rode for the Dwyers. And, as already sald, a steward of the Jockey Club smiled broadly while McCue rode the favorite Carbuncle in his peculiar way. This same steward owned the cele brated mare Forget when she was an even money favorite at Morris Park one day and was beaten by a hundred yards. Phelan was suspended for a week for breaking through the barrier in the second race, and Dog gett, Mitchell, Maher and Walsh were fined $0 each for disobedience while at the post for the third race.

Six fur RIFLE SHOOTING AT RISLEY NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. JULY 12, 1900. PROFESSIONAL CYCLING TEAM TO BE SENT ABROAD—-MRS. BAYNE FINISHES FIVE HUNDRED MILES. e—— The combination of bicycle manufacturers, some times called the “Blecycle Trust,” has for some time being considering the proposition to send a team of professional riders to compete in the international championships to be held at Paris next month in connection with the Paris Exposi tion. A meeting of the Executive Committee of the company was held on Tuesday, when, it is said. the proposition to send a team abroad was in dorsed. While the riders have not been officially selected it is intimated that the team to go abroad will consist of three men—Floyd McFarland, his team mate “Me Too” Stevens, and Thomas Cooper. Cooper did better work last season that ever be fore, and in the opinion of many much better than he has shown so far this season. McFarland is one of the best handicap riders in this country and can hold his own with the men in the open contests. The lanky Californian has also been quite successful in following pace, having to date defeated Elkes and Michael He will also meet Michael in another paced race at twenty miles at the Manhattan Beach track on Saturday after noon. Stevens is also a good rider. The champion ships will take place in Paris in August, and the riders are expected to sail for the other side, in order to become acclimated, in about two weeks. Elkes and Ross, two American middle distance racing men, are at present in Paris, where the former has been racirg with more or less success. Many followers of racing will regret that ‘“‘Major” Taylor, the colored rider, will not be included in the team, for in the opinion of the experts he is the fastest sprinter in this country to-day. In match races he has already defeated Kramer and Eaton, and Kramer has beaten Cooper. As the races in Paris will be conducted on Sunday fit is inferred that that is the reason why Taylor was net included on the team. Taylor has always refused to race on that day. Mrs. Bayne, the little woman who started out to ride from forty-five to fifty centuries within thirty days, continued her task on the Merrick Road yes terday under conditions not so favorable as might have been expected. The wind down near Valley Stream blew with considerable force, and flying dust was plentiful. The eyes of the rider and her pacemakers were filled with dust and dirt, and none of them presented a particularly natty ap pearance when they returned to the hotel at Val ley Stream for refreshments and rest. Mrs. Bayne says that she 18 not worrying over the task she has set for herself, and is confident that she will succeed. “When I feel like it,” sald she yesterday, “I will ride a couple of centuries a day, and when I feel tired I will be content with only one.” The little woman finished her 400th mile at 2:10 a. m. yesterday. Then she retired to her room and rested until 8:40 a. m. She finished the 50th mile of her ride at about 6 o'clock last night. The following incident will serve to exemplify one of the benefits derived from membership in the League of American Wheelmen. I.ast April John M. Campbell, League No. 1,88, while turning from Broadway into Berry-st., Brooklyn, accidentally was in collision with a boy who had run out from the sidewalk without a moment's warning. The col lision resulted in the breaking of the boy's leg and in injuring Mr. Campbell somewhat. The boy was carried to his home, and Mr. Campbell fol lowed, offering whatever assistance was in his power. After some days the parents of the in jured boy demanded a sum of money. Mr. Camp bell declined to pay so much, and was arrested for criminal negligence. He appealed to the New-York State Division, League of American Wheelmen, for legal assistance and advice, which were granted. After several adjournments, occasioned by the parents of the injured boy, the case was tried vesterday in the Lee-ave. court, Brooklyn, and resulted in Mr. Campbell's being honorably dis charged for lack of evidence. John B. Uhle, chair man of the Rights and Privileges Committee of the New-York State Division, League of American Wheelmen, had charge of the cas: for Mr. Camp bell. The Century Road Club Association will hold a trolley ride to-morrow evening, starting from the Harlem Bridge, One-hundred-and-thirtieth-st. and Third-ave., at 8:30 o'clock, to Bronx Park Grove, in the Borough of The Bronx. There will be dancing and singing, and a jolly good time is expected. Tick ets for the round trip will be 25 cents each. Clubs taking fifty tickets will have a car reserved and can decorate it with their club colors.

That is what was the trouble with the League champions to day. In the game with the Pittsburgs the men from Brooklyn handled the bat as if the ball was a duck egg and they were afraid of breaking it. Their hitting was about the weakest the team has shown on the present tour away from home. To make defeat more sure and positive, Nops was clearly out of sorts, and his wildness played an fmportant part in all of the runs scored by the home team. Nops made all of the blunders charged to the Brooklyn team. His errors were a fumble of a grounder and a couple of wild throws. Jennings was the only Brooklyn player to hit with effect.

The club expects to invite every prominent woman golfer in the country, and as a good part of those receiving invitations are likely to accept, the tournament will practically amount to another local championship. In fact, it will probably have several women who will not be able to take part in the coming Natienal. championship at Shinnecock Hills. For instance, Miss Maude K.

Griscon. snd the Misses Cassatt, who have usually taken a prominent part in these contests, are already abroad, and will not return before September.

THE ISOLDE AND THE ASTRILD MAY RACE WITH LIMITED CREWS AND THEIR PRESENT CANVAS. THEIR PRESENT CANVAS. The newly imported Scotch cutter Isolde, owned by Frederick M. Hoyt, of the New-York Yacht Club, and commodore of the Stamford Yacht Club, arrived at Greenport and mingled with the cruis ing fleet of the Atlantic Yacht Club, which started yesterday morning for New-London. The new vessel will race fn the #-foot cutter class. As an nounced in The Tribune, Irving Zerega went with Mr. Hoyt to Halifax to sail the boat to New-York as soon as she touched at the Canadian port. The Isolde sailed from Halifax on Independence Day under the same cruising canvas with which she made her ocean voyage, and when she entered the harbor at Greenport she had a distinctly weather beaten look. She will need a gnod deal of paint and oll to make her icok like her old high class self. There was much hard luck and delay ex perienced in her crossing. On her first attempt she was In collision with a tramp steamer, and narrow ly escaped being sunk. After being repaired she started again, but the skipper was frightened by the seas he met, and he took her back again and left her. He was unaccustomed to small vessels, and did not like the undertaking. The next skip per brought the boat over easily and safely. Her shape has been much admired by the yachtsmen of the Atlantic Yacht Club fleet. From what was said by the owners of the Astrild last week, it seems not improbable that some rac tng under special arrangement will take place be tween her and the Isolde, so that both yachts may gail with the canvas they now possess and with a limited crew. Mr. Hoyt has this year purchased a controliing interest in the Greenport Construction Company, and candidly says he does not intend to undertake the large expense of putting a racing crew on the Isolde this year—a procedure which would entail the purchase of a full new outfit of sails suitable for American weather conditions. Many yachtsmen are, however, hoping that they will be able to see the yachts race with the canvas that cam» with the hulls in the purchase, and with ordinary cruising crews.

BRIDGEPORT YACHT CLT'B REGATTA. T. H. Macdonald, chairman of the Regatta Com mittee of the Bridgeport Yacht Club, gave out news yesterday about the races to be held by the club on Saturday.

Entries will be re ceived by the chairman of the Regatta Committee, at No. 1.5% Fairfleld-ave., Bridgeport, Conn., or at the clubhouse, Black Rock, Conn. up to Saturday. The committee has chosen courses which will be short enough to meet the general demand, and the largest yachts of this race will be sent only eightcren miles, while the smaller craft will have to sail only twelve miles. Where two or more yachts start there will be a prize, and a second where five vachts start, and a third where seven or more ctart

His team wag pitted against one of the Rockaway juvenile teamg known as Rockaway Eight! zoals were given to the latter by handicap. It took all of the firs two periods and a part of the third to make gp this large allowance, and it was only by the hapd. est kind of playing that the Jersey men could win by the narr«w margin of one goal. After playing six and a half minutes over time, during which the friends of the Rockaway lads crowded the border of the field, cheering them to do thelr best Gould put an end to the exciting struzzie ny a clever stroke which proved to be the deciding ons of the contest. eb SAAR ne nneup was: LAKEWOOD. i ROCKAWAY C 1—George J.

Dalles is one of the genuine Lakewood polo members, hus he has been abroad until recently, and the zams was the first match in which he has appeared this year. Snowden is a Philadeiphian, and Beeckman was drawn from the Westchester Country Club. It was plain to be seen in the first two periods that Lakewood believed .t was a dead sure thing over the boys, and the orange and black played a quiet, easy riding game. In the second period tha juveniles surprised them by strong defensive tae. ties, and it took Snowden over six minutes to maka the first goal. Kennedy came near scoring for Rockaway, making a long stroke from the quarter field, but the ball ran out just ten inches on the wrong side of the post. Rand and Kennedy sys. 1aineq the defensive part of Rockaway's work nobly. In the third period DBeneadict added encourage ment to the hopes of the nome plavers by making two goals, atoning in some measure for nis fallurs to hit the ball in the former period. Rand, who is a Yale student, did some glorious backing and made Snowden and Dallett realize thar they would have to work in order to win. Snowden made a few of his customary brilliant runs. but they wera not well sustained, and the lack of strong team work was Lakewood's weakness Goodwin, the hard working vounz Rockaway captain, opened the final period by a well mada goa! in less than two minutes.

A good way to teach the use of money is 10 oogin with the little child. It may be allowed to eern many of the pennies that go in its bank. A penny exch day for some little task mey easily be ezrned. Toaere is no trouble in finding some duty suited to tender wears. hildren should never be allowed to ask their parents or any one else for pennies, nor should ther be zllowed 10 receive money from strangers. As soon gf 2 child can earn some money it should be taught to purchase articles from the point of view of durability, as even toys vary greatly in that respect. It is not a waste of time to point out even to 2a small child the likelihood that one kind of ball may outwear ancther: that one variety of marble may break less easily than another: that en ‘indestructible’ doll will last longer than a wzxen. The choosing of tiny Christmas and birth gay gifts serves the double purpose of fostering generosity ane giving practice in buying. “There is little training in having thm spend FOUr money. Ownership personal interest and re sponsibility give zest and vim which no amount of spending other people's money can impart. “I? papa gives a penny any or every day for a new pencil the demand is constant, but let the small boy buy pencils. too, from his earnings, and it i= surprising how strong and lasting pencils be come! Any genuine boy would rather spend his pennies for marbles than for pencils, but the prin ciple of judicious spending must be taught by the only affective means. “Af the child grows older a chance to earn large sums of money may be given to it. Some times weekly allowance has been conditioned on promptness at breakfast. Some school children who live at a distance from school are allowed a certain suum for carfares and luncheon, being en couraged 10 save as much as they can of this for themselves. There is story of 2a boy who thus ‘walked to Pans.’ By saving the nickels through school end college davs he laid up enscugh to take "him to Paris for post-graduate work. One girl bough: from such savings several substantial Pleces of furniture for her room. “When a girl has reached the age of fourteen Fears 2nd 2 boy has become fifteen or sixteen Yezrs ¢ld they should be trained to buy all the simpler articies of their wardrobes.

The doctrine of relativity holds good in sartorial #tience as in anthropology.

SCHOOL IN PEKING WHERE ABANDONED WAITS LEARN TO READ AND WRITE. Among the English speaking people who are now in Peking are the Rev. W. H. Murray and his wife. Mr. Murray is the inventor of the numeral type, which he designed primarily for the use of blind Chinese. But so simple did the system prove that it has since been emploved for the illiterate, who have never been able to learn the four thousand bewildering ideographs which are essential to a knowledge of the Chinese language, and which takes six years of patient study to acquire. Mr. Murray spent eight vears in developing and per fecting the system, which is based upon the same principle as the ‘Braille system, emploved in this country. But, having no alphabet as here, he made the dots represent numerals instead of letters, and then numbered the four hundred and eight sounds of Mandarin Chinese, which is spoken in Peking. By this, means each sound is represented by its corresponding number and is indicated by a combination of dots. Blind persons have masterad the system in three months. For the use of seeing people he connects the dots with straight lines, and the resuit gives the simplest series of geometric forms—lines, angles and squares. The blind peopie of Mr. Murray's school reeng nize in these forms their own symbols, and not only print the books for seeing people, but teach them to read and write. The first blind woman to learn to read was taught by an eigit-year-old boy, because she could not be instructed by 3 man. She, in turn, taught other women, ard was the means of the establishment of a school for blind women. Some of the pupils in the school were rescued from pools where they were cast away 10 perish. because their parents could not be troudled with blind children. Mr. Murray is a Scotchman. New-Zealand girls have banded together serious lv to form a real, practical, ready-toc-fight regi ment. They have named their corps the ‘“‘Ledy Douglas Irresistibles,” in which social rank does not seem to have dictated regimental rank. Miss Edwin is the captain, while Miss Seddon, the daughter of the Premier of the colony, is only a sergeant-major, and the daughter of Sir Arthur Douglas, the Under Secretary for the Defence of the Colony, is a mere Heutenant. Women have always plaved an important part in stimulating a nation to great and heroic deeds, and it is found exemplified in all the wars of history. It is 2 well known fact that women have fought, and can fight, but it is doubtful if the ability of mod ern women, enervated by an artificial civilization, can exhibit the endurance demanded of soldiers during a campaign. There is, however, no reason why women should not shoot as accurately and rapidly as men, once they have undergone the nec essary training, but their presence in the battle field would be a reproach while there was a single man left capable of fighting.

The children of the Brooklyn free kindergarten schools have hegun their weekly excursions. They have visited Prospect Park, where the plants, flowers and animals delighted them, and walks have been taken to City Park, where they heartily enjoyed all sorts of games. A great deal of interest has been shown of late by the mothers of the children in the Prince-st. Kindergarten, and the Mothers’ Club has started a free library, which already possesses several maga zines and nearly a dozen books.

The children and their mothers of the Willow Place Kindergarten were recently taken to Prospect Park in a special troiley car, and enjoyed a happy

av *thara Few housewives realize the amount of care which rubber plants require. They are frequently the most forlorn objects to look upon, as the leaves are so large and of so deep a green that dust is plainly in evidence, a fact of which many owners of these plants seem unaware. It may not be known that the plant ‘breathes’ through its leaf, and its life is menaced when its lungs are choked with dust. A caretaking woman, who has great success with her plants, sponges off each leaf on both the under and upper sides at least three times a week, and more often if the plant has been exposed to an un usual amount of dust. Only enough water should i

be poured on the roots to keep the soil soft and moist, and once a week the earth should be loosened about the roots, two teaspoonfuls of castor oil allowed to drip upon them, and then the earth is replaced. The plant should never be allowed to grow in ungainly fashion, but properly dwarfed into a shapely bush form. A PLAG OF THE ROUGH RIDERS. If there is any one thing that the women of Ari zona venerate it is the Rough Riders’ flag, the first cne planted on Cuban soil and the first one on the crest of San Juan Hill It is a fragile banner, hav ing been constructed by the Women's Relief Corps of Pheenix with more respect to beauty than to serviceability. It was brought back by the Rough Riders pierced by Spanish bullets, frayed by winds and faded by the sun. When {t was taken from its case the women of the Relief Corps. who had gath ered about it to see it unfurled, wept and .oved it more than as if {it had been brought back in all the beauty of newness. Since its return it has been enshrined in the courthouse at Pheenix, an object of veneration to citizens and tourists alike. When

the ig was returned from “the reunion of the Rough Riders at Las Vegas last year it had suf fered so much from the trip that the women de cided never to let it go out again. So when a re uest was first made for it to be sent to Gklahoma ity it was denied. Then came an urgent telegram from Governor Roosevelt,” in which he said they might as well not try to have a reunion if the fag could not be present. Then the women relented an the flag was sent, consigned to the care of Captain J. L. B. Alexander, who guaranteed to see that it was returned in the best possible condition.

S., so they thought, those two young women, that they would ikea to take part in that line of its work that de velops in summer from the many flowers sent in as sunshine offerings. They went into the T. 8. S. office one day this week and asked if they might help in the distribution of some flowers. They had made a fortunate selection of days, for only a few moments before a large hox had arrived filled with the prettiest flowers, field and garden, and all pre pared in charming little bunches by two other young Sunshiners, Minnie and Petrina Burns, of Lecrg Island. The box was a delight to look upon in its artistic arrangement, and the young women bunrst into rapturous exclamations.

It was too large for one to carry. so two smaller paper boxes were found, and the flowers were di vided, so that each had nearly fifty bunches. They did not know much about tha ‘slums’ of the city, so asked for directions, and gayly started for Mul berry Bend with their boxes of odorous sunshine for “the dear little East Side children.” In little more than a half hour they returned. One was tall and dark and glowing, one was short ard blond and rosy, both were trimly gowned and full of vitalitv—when they departed. When they came back both were dishevelled and pale. On white shirtwaists were the imprints of dirty fin gers and the small member's hat was sadly awry. And this i= the tale they told, in duet:

“I could not have believed it possible that.any bcdy could long so passionately for flowers! They positively mobbed us in thir eagerness to get them. While the covers were on our boxes they paid little attention to us, but the moment that I broke one end off the cover and gave a bunch to a black eyed, curly headed little girl they seemed to rain down!” This from the little one. Her friend took up the tale with, “You ought to have seen Katharine disappear. She was gone from my sight in about a minute in the crowd of boys and girls of all sizes, with men and women on the out skirts. I was surrounded by a similar howling mob, but, fortunately, was tall enough to Keep my foot ing. I dashed to her rescue just in time to save her from being forced actually down the flight of basement steps near which we were standing, inad

i

1] vertently. I grasped her arm and got her to the curbstone, amid a wild chorus of ‘A flower, lady,’ ‘Please give me a flower, miss,’ ‘Can't I have one? I ain't had a flower this summer,’ while grimy hands clutched at the boxes." The small member interrupted: *I thought I was one! Their black little faces were thrust stifling close to mine. Their dirty little hands were tearing at my arm, and 1 feit myself relentlessly dragged at the will of my captors. Big Boys pushed littie ones aside, and small girls trie@. to: ereep in under the arms of the big boys. One pretty little creature with curly hair waited patientiy while one after another of the flowers I tried to give her was snatched almost from her hands, I never envied Helen her height as I did then' There she stood, pale but determined, dominating the horde by her size, while poor little me was at their mercy! At last I gasped, ‘Mine are gone, thank goodness! and made a mad dash for liberty and the middle of the street. Helen seized my arm and we es caped alive. Seriously, though, {it was. immensely pathetic. The eagerness of the poor things showed how starved for beauty their hearts are. They could not have scrambled more energetically for dimes. It was touching, too, to see the young men and women who chanced to be near press toward us with half bashful, ‘If I could have just one! in pleading tones.” The other said: “I{ was a strange experience and rather exhausting, but I am not sorry to have had it. I know now that flower mis sions are not a waste of time. and that there may

be as much sunshine in the unpractical flower as in the most utilitarian gift.” CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED A box filled with dainty clothing for a young child—white dresses and skirts, prettily trimmed, and fine underwear—came without a name by ex press from Harrison, N.

PLANS TO EXTEND IT TO THE FIFTY EIGHTH-ST. CORNER OF FIFTH-AVE. AND GROUND LEASED. The Hotel Savoy Company will enlarge the build Ing to occupy the whole block frent in Fifth ave. between Fifty-eighth and Fifty-ninth ste. The first step In the consummation of this project was announced in The Tribune on June 29, when men tion was made of the company's purchase of the six story building No. 5 East Fiftv-eighth-st.. add ing about twenty-five thousand square feet to the ground floor area of the hotel.

A second and more important step toward the enlargement of the hotel was taken yesterday when the Hotel Savoy Company leased for a period of twenty years the Bolkenhayn apartment house. a six story building at the northeast corner of Fifty-eighth-st. and Fifth-ave This property has a frontage of 125 feet in the street and 75 feet in the avenue. It adjoins the Hotel Savoy on the north and the property No. 5 East Fifty-eighth-st. or. the east. The entire plot, 150 by 2M, is almost twice as large as that covered by the Hotel Savoy. Justice P. H. Dugro, one of the owners of the Hotel Savoy, in speaking of the purpose of the lease said to a Tribune reporter vesterday: It is the intention of the Hotel Savoy Company to enlarge the hotel =o as to include the whole frontage in Fifth-ave. between Fifty-eighth and Fifty-ninth sts. This can only be accomplished gradually. We hope to arrange without any un necessary delay with Elbridge T. Gerry. the lessor of the olkenhayn, for the construction in its place of an addition te the Savoy. 1 expect that ultimate plans will be found which will prove per fectly acceptable to both the Commodore and our selves and which will make it possible for the Hotel Savoy to occupy the whole plot in Fifth-ave. At present the Bolkenhayn will be connected by rutting doors through the walls, and will thus be used in conjunction with the hotel. Meanwhile the building in Fifty-eighth-st. which is to the rear of the Bolkenhayn will be replaced by a structure in direct accord with the hotel] in appoint ment and style of architecture.

The lots upon which the Bolkenhayn stood ware owned by the late Robert L.. Livingston. the father of Mrs. Gerry. The building was erected in 1885 by Alfred Zucker with money advanced by Mrs. Gerry. Mr. Zucker gave up his lease last week.

It is sald that in case the apartment house is torn down to make way for an addition to the

hotel, the Livingston heirs will advance money for its construction, as was done before in the build ing of the Bolkenhayn.

he Hotel Savoy Company is a corporation of which Frederick Wagner is president, Louis C. Raegener secretary and Herman H. Ries treasurer. It includes among its directors Marvin A. and Dorothy RButtles, P. Henry Dugro and John J. Gibbons THE TRIBUNF FRESH AIR FUND. ATKNOWLEIN IMENTS

FUXERAL OF THE REY. Ie DI FFIE The funeral of the Rev. Dr. Cornelius Roosevelt Duffie was held yesterday at 10 o'clock in the Church of the Epiphany, Lexington-ave. and Thir ty-fifth-st. Several hymns and an anthem were sung by the boy choir of Calvary Church. Clement R. Gale was the organist. Bishop Potter was un able to be present, but his secretary, the Rev. Dr. Nelson, spoke a few words, expressing the Bish op’s regret and eulogizing the Rev. Dr. Dufiie. A great many of Dr. Duffie’s former friends among the clergy were present, among them the Rev. Dr. Thomas Gallaudet, the Rev. Dr. Kimber, the Rev, Dr. Hughes, the Rev. Dr. W. A. Hooper, of Wil ton, Conn., and the Rev. Dr. Gouverneur Morris Wilkins. Among the more intimate friends of the family present were James Bleecker, Charles H. 4 Roosevelt, of Pelham; Theodore Todé, Richard Henry Greene, John M. Burke, William Law. the treasurer of the Church of the Epiphany; Dr. Charlies H. Langdon, of Poughkeepsie; William Langdon and Edward Cahill. The burial was in the family vault in Greenwood Cemetery. JAPANESE EXHIBITION AT ASTOR LIBRARY Present complications in the Yellow Kingdom lend a special interest to the small but peculiar exhi bition on view at the Astor Library Building. There may be seen one of Mrs. Henry Draper's gifts to the New-York Public Library. a collection of Japanese colored prints, dealing with the war between Japan and China. A peculiarly Japanese point of view, showing unvarying victory in the face of great odds, presented in a style that seems a mixture of old and new, with enough of the former to seem incongruous when applied to the delineation of

military Japan in its modern aspect—such elements serve to make this little show a very interesting one. The artist seems especially happ? in depict ing the onward rush of attacking bodies, and the composition is usually effective. Tae exhibition suc ceeds one of fine reproductions of Oriental carpets, also the gift of Mrs. Draper, and metal work. and will no doubt be follow by other exhibitions of various kinds. COURTHOUSE REPAIRS LECIDED UPON. The sanitary condition of the County Courthouse, which has for years been the subject of complaint, and to which is attributed the illness of several judges and other officials of the. Supreme Court, is to be attended to. Justice Dugro, one of the committee of justices appointed to take charge of the renovation of the building, visited the courthouse yesterday and in spected every part of it. He then called on Com missioner Kearny of the Department of Public Buildings, Lighting and Supplies, and ascertained from him that the work of removing the existing unsanitary plumbing would be begun within ten days. In view of the fact that Controller Coler says funds are not available for the reconstruction of the courthouse, only the sanitary condition of the building will now he looked after. Justice Dugro said the contracts for the additions to the building would not be given out for several months. MANDAMITS DENLED THE CENTRAL The application of the New-York Centra! and Hudson River Raliroad Company for a mandamus to compel the Municipal Assembly to permit the Tax Commissioners to have access to the tax roils and to compel the Tax Commissioners to strike cut the assessment of $7,666,000 on the real and personal property of the railway company was denied by Justice O'Gorman in the Supreme Court yestzrday. The company alleged that it had been assessed twice, by the State Board and by the Tax Board of the City of New-York. Justice O'Gorman says the application of the railway company comes 100 late, as the members of the Tax Board are now without the power to perform the act which the relator seeks to compel them to perform. AGED PHYSICIAN TRIES SUICIDE. Dr. Charies Butt, of No. 42 Bryan Place, near Unien Park. Chicago, attempted to commit suicide vesterday by taking four ounces of laudanum in Battery Park. He was taken to the Hudson Street Hospital, where he was treated. His condi tion is not serious. Dr. Bryan gave his age as eighty years. He car ried a number of business cards with him, on which was his name, and also a statement setting forth the fact that he was the inventor of elec trical medical appliances. “LITTLE ITALY" TO “LITTLE AFRICA" T HEALTH DEPARTMENT CHANGES THE SCENS OF ITS DISINFECTING WORK. The Health Department's disinfecting squad com~ pleted its work in “Little Italy” at 11:30 a. m. yes terday. and in the afternoon the scene of opera tions was changed to “Little Africa,” where the colored race is predominant. [It extends from Lexington-ave. on the west and Ninety-ninth-st. on the north to Ninety-seventh-st. on the south and the river on the east. The men with sprinkling cans followed by the carts filled with the disinfecting liquid started at Ninety-ninth-st and Lexington-ave. working their way toward the river. They sprinkled the germ killer in every house. The work was completed just before four o'clock, and no house escaped. Considering the nature of the pepulation and the congested condition of the neighborhood. the tene ment houses showed a marked degree of cleanly ness. The cellars appeared to have been swept regularly, there was no garbage in the rear yards

and altogether the disirict gave a good impression of the cleanly habits of the colored people in the neighbeorhoad. After the work of the day was concluded it was sald that the work would not be resumed until next Tuesday, when the workmen were ordered to meet at Park and Baxter sts [It was said that the latter of these streets would then be gone over, and possibly the Chinese quarter The heat became more than Dr. Dimeck, one of the physicians superintending the work, could stand. He complained of pains in his head and stomach, and had it not been for Daniel Murphy, whe superintended the work, he would have fallen to the streat. The young doctor was taken into 2 neighboring store. where he was rescusci after which he was placed upon a trolley car went home. and INCREASE IN MONEY ORDER BUSINESS.

SUPERVISOR WILEUR SAYS ENUMERATION HAS BEEN AS ACCURATE AND COMPLETE AS POSSIBLE. The census for New-York County is complete. Of the eleven hundred districts into which the city was divided the books of all except Blackwell's Island and the Catholic Protectory have been sent to Washington. The books of these two districts will be completed and sent to Washington to-day and the office of Supervisor Wilbur, in the World Building, will be ¢losé@”' Mr. Wilbur, in speaking of the work done, said: I believe the enumeration has been as accurate and complete as it could possibly be. I can think of ne plan which could have been used to make the enumeration more compiete. New-York is the most difficult city in the Union to enumerate, on account of the very large foreign population, but with the help of a large force of efficient inter preters it has been successfully and theo dere. The Police Department has been of assistance to me, and I have written a letter to the Board thanking them for the help which they gave me.

There are not nearly so many pecple out of the city on June 1 as is generally supposed, and nearly, if not quite, all of these absentees have sent us the desired information in response to ine quiry blanks which we sent them by mail Mr. Wilbur will sta~t tor Washington on Monday. He sail he thought the population of New-York City would be Known by the middle of August. AMERICAN COAL IN THE YEDITERRANEAX The newspapers in the maritime cities along the Mediterranean were naturally the first to notice how fast American coal was taking the place of English coal for use in steamers, mills and rafl roads in that region. The cost of transportation is, indeed, greater between England and the Mediterranean shores than to the northern part of Europe. which is enabled, consequently, te pay a lower price for the British coal. Some months ago the papers of Genoa, Marseilles, Barcelona, etc. suggested that, in order to get coal at reasonable prices, and to break the monopoly of England, it was necessary to apply to the coal resources of the United States. They reprinted and compiletad the observations contained in a book recently pub lished by M. Lozé&, an authority in engineering and mining matters. According to him the United States and China are the best producing countries of cecal. They have an area of coal lands of at least 68.0% square kilometres, while England has only 30,000 kilometres. He adds that American col lieries are generally situated near navigable waters, and the railrcad companies are satisfied with low rates for transportation, sometimes only the ninth of a centime per ton. The railroad company called Paris-Lyons-Mediterranée, whose main line extends from Paris to Marseilles, was the first to import coal from the United States, as soon as the Trans vaal war had brought a rise on English coal. The “Marseilles Sémaphore” states that the quality of the American coal was found to be satisfactory.

and that more orders have been given by the Paris Lyorns-Mediterranée Raliroad Company for use im its workshops and its gashouses. This example has been promptly followed by other railroad campanies and by manufacturers, so that at the latest reports large quantities of American coal were expected to arrive at Mar sejiles. The trade of the Mediterranean basin, ac cording to the papers of that portion of will be lost to England in faver of America, unless the Chinese troubie should bring increased prices “The United States.” says the “Sémaphore,” “would not be the last to send its naval vessels, its sailors and its soldiers there. In such a case a lower rate would not be made on coal, but higher rates would be probable. Thus, at this moment, the Celestials are almost the arbiters, the masters in the coal

Li Hung Chang and other Viceroyvs sent word that the Legations were safe, and that the revolt of the Boxers was being gradually checked. Dr. von Mumm von Schwarzenstein was appointed German Min ister at Peking to succeed the late Baron von Ketteler, an action taken to mean that Germany does not consider a state of war existing. It is reported that Bloemfontein will be made the head city of the South African Republics when reorganized under British rule. Advices from Pretoria say that the Boers, realizing the hopelessness of thelr struggle, are preparing to sue for peace. A Royal garden party was held at Buckingham Palace. Nearly five thou sand people, including the Queen, were present. The third-class British battleship Con gqueror went ashore on The Shambles, near Port land, but was afterwards floated. A com mittee of the Paris Municipal Council reported against a grant of land to the American Na tional Institute for Artists.

AMERICAN POLICY AND THE POWERS. The American policy in China has been vindi cated, so far as China herself is concerned, by the progress of events. But that policy does not relate to China alone. Tt has reference to the other Powers which are interested and are in tervening in China, setting forth substantially this Government's attitude toward them and their Chinese policies; and in that respect it is no less important than in the former. There is, of course, no hint at dictation to other Powers as to what they shall or shall not do. That is not to be thought of by this or by £ny other Government. There is the clearest possible statement of this Government's understanding of the situation, of its own plans and purposes, and of the extent to which it will co-operate with the other Powers. From that it may be possible to draw diplomatically some pretty definite conclusions as to what this Government deems it proper for the Powers to do. The United States does not consider that China has declared or begun war against it or therefore against any other Power. Such war as there is in Chi-Li is civil war, insurrection and rioting. This country is to protect its people there from harm. But it is to do so by main taining amicable relations with the lawful forces of order in China, and not by indiscriminately waging war against all China. The inference is that it would not co-operate with any other nation in thus waging war and would not regard with favor the waging of such a war. It looks to the Chinese Government to make full amends for any injury that may have been done to Americans, and it will inexorably require such amends. But beyond that it seeks no “revenge.” It has no ambition to burn summer palaces or to plant its warlike banners upon the walls of the Forbidden City. If any other Power wants io wage a campaign of simple vengeance the United States may not interfere to prevent it, but it certainly will not co-operate with it por give its approval to such a war. The extent to which this Government will co-operate with the other Powers is stated with unmistakable exactness. It comprises the re opening of communication with Peking, the rescue and protection of American life and property throughout the empire, the safeguard ing of all legitimate American interests and incidentally benevolent aid in saving the rest of the empire from the troubles which now vex Chi-Li. And at the end this Government ex pects to see in China peace, ierritorial integrity and the maintenance of treaty rights and the open door. It will not, therefore, co-operate in or approve any war for the partition of China, for the breaking down of existing treaties or for the establishment of any “spheres of influ ence.” In such things it has no interest, save to regard them with disfavor, It sees no reason Amusements, Amusements, for any general military occupation of China or indeed for the sending thither of any force beyond that necessary promptly and effectually to fulfil the objects stated. Above all, it can have no thought of entangling itself in any con certs or compacts of the Powers or of cooperat ing with them save for the simple and legiti mate purposes set forth by the Secretary of State. Those purposes accomplished, the United States will doubtless withdraw from the scene more gladly and more promptly than it en tered it. lb

There is little fear that this policy will either give offence or be regarded as pusillanimous and unworthy. There i8 assuredly nothing in it that can in the least degree jar the suscepti bilities of any other Government or nation. At the same time it is instinct with a straightfor wardness and sincerity of purpose that must command general approval, just as the poiley of the open door, put forth from the same source, commanded acquiescence. It is true that a somewhat shrill member of the French press recently declared that the United States could not help following the lead of Europe in declar ing war against China; but as a matter of fact Europe seems rather to be following the lead of the United States in not declaring war. The German Emperor, with the impulsive chivalry which is not the least engaging of his charac teristics, made a stern demand for revenge for his murdered Minister: but he has not declared war against China and will probably go no fur ther than some such limits of action as those indicated by the United States Government for its own guidance. It will be no small triumph for American diplomacy thus to have tempered and directed the forces that are making for the solution of one of the greatest international problems that vex the world. So Mr. Bryan is not to invade the “Enemy's Country” this year. He will remain upon his native plains, and within the bucolic precincts of his Nebraska home, and there employ his profiuent oratory in declamations to the hosts of pilgrims who at special excursion i1ates are expected to approach him. His peculiar doc trines concerning the debasement of the cur rency and the packing of the Supreme Court are supposed to be less unpalatable to Western than to Eastern minds. They will therefore be pro claimed to the farmers who have suffered from chinchbugs and grasshoppers, and to the indus trial reformers who have waged war against oppressive capitalism by stripping women naked in the streets. But east of the Alleghanies the oracles of Populism will remain dumb. Their place here will be taken by the propagandists of St. Tammany. In the West it will be Bryan and sixteen to one and anarchy. In the East it will be Croker and anti-imperialism and Van Wyck ard anti-trusts! O, sancta simplicitas! The game might work if all the people were fools. But they are not. The people of Lincoln know quite well what is going on and what is being said in New-York. and the people of New York are equally informed concerning the prog ress of affairs in Lincoln. Tf Mr. Bryan hopes his Western hearers will judge him only by what he says to them there, and by the planks of the platform he emphasizes there, he is painfully mistaken. So is he if he imagines the people of the East will listen only to what his agents here declare, and will remain unconscious of what is being said in the West. As well as in other senses, this is a united country in vespact to unity of information. Mr. Bryan may cry “Good Lord!” in one place and “Good Devil!” in another as much ‘as he pleases, but those to whom he cries “Good Lord!” will also hear him cry “Good Devil!” There is no avoiding it.

It is this consideration which marks with su preme folly the effort to play a chameleon-like part in National politics and to stretch sectional policies to cover the whole land. Mr. Bryan knows there are States in which to emphasize his “paramount issue” of anti-expansion would be fatal to his campaign, and that there are others in which the less said about free silver the better for him. So he raises one cry in one part of the country and another in another, hoping thus to delude the people. There could, in fact, be no more certain method of disclosing to them his real demagogism and of disgusting them all with it and with its practitioner. The only safe and profitable platform on which to appeal to any part of the Nation is one which is acceptable to the whole Nation. Senator Hoar did not really need to reply to the indecent anti-imperialist attacks upon him. They were thoroughly discounted before they were made, and Senator Hoar was warned by the Republican press that the fury of this nar row minded band would be more bitter against one who had in part agreed with them, but failed to go to their wild extremes, than against those whom they considered their real enemies. In writing to Senator Hoar that his “venerable “hand had been the first to be sullied with the “mud slinging of the campaign of 1900” because he spoke for McKinley, and in denouncing Sen ator Hoar for his “apostasy” in not advocating the cause of Bryan, which he had repeatedly in his anti-imperialist speeches explained he could not advocate, Mr. Erving Winslow merely re vealed the colossal egotism and fanatical im pertinence of himself and the league for which he speaks. This collection of noisy and abusive persons seem utterly unable to discuss any question of policy about which honest men may differ without immediately attributing every variation of opinion to the wickedness of thelr opponent. They remind one of the densely ignorant and half insane people who are often seen hanging about courtrooms or newspaper offices with tales of how this reputable lawyer or that eminent judge has entered into a ter rible conspiracy to cheat them out of a fortune. An epithet is their favorite weapon. If the President does not follow them they call him an “assassin.” A soldier who obeys orders which do not suit thein becomes a “murderer.” The politician who does not join them imme diately becomes a “rascal.” In raging against Senator Hoar they only exhibit their own weak ness and temper. Nevertheless Senator Hoar has done good gervice in his dignified letter of rebuke to Mr. Winslow for his impudence and pose of virtuous intolerance. He shows that the extremists who now call him an “apostate” were never under any misapprehension about his attitude. On one important question he differed from the Administration, and maintained his views with ability and an unfailing courtesy and reason ableness in argument which offered 8 much needed example to his present critics, who then could find no words too extravagant for praise. Atl the same time he gave them and the world to understa™l that he was not a Bryanite, that he had no intention of helping turn this country over to anarchistic and silverite domination even if he did not approve the acquisition of the Philippines. Yet they continued to write him honeyed letters and claim him for their own. It is only when they feel the embarrass ment of embra ing free silver, free riot and the Chicago platform that they vent the irrita tion caused by their own equivocal position on the man who does not share it with them, as they well knew all along he would not. Misery loves company, aud the sight of the Massachusetts Senator maintaining his dignity, frankly stating Lis anti-imperialist views and at the same time showing that Mr. Bryan offered no alternative and no remedy for what he regarded as evils, but merely an aggravation of troubles, was too much for them. They were bound to believe

“00D LORD! GOOD DEYIL™ MR HOAR AND HIS CRITICS. NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. JULY 12, 1900. that Mr. Bryan was their savior, and for one whom they had hailed as a leader to show that Mr. Bryan's anti-imperialism was only a sham filled their cup of woe. Senator Hoar i8 perfectly right in saying that “the treaty was the great battleground in this “matter, if we desired really to defeat imperial “ism and not simply to make political capital “for a party out of it.” Mr. Bryan did as much As any one man to pass that treaty, annex the Philippines, and, according to his own theory, extend the Constitution of the United States over them. The policy which he now proposes is an impossible one for him to carry out with out violating his own pledged interpretation of the Constitution and setting himself up as an extra-constitutional dictator, even as he says President McKinley has done. Antiimperial ists who are mad for revenge because they have not had thelr way may be expected to support him blindly, but Intelligent men like Mr. Hoar, who act from reason rather than prejudice, rightly see that Bryan means nothing good for the country, even concerning this one matter, while he is a tremendous danger in other ways. Some of those dangers Senator Hoar sums up as follows: If you think you can best kelp the cause of liberty and true republicanism by voting for the men who are for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, by voting for men who are for refusing ten millions of American citizens suffrage at home, for overthrowing the independence of the Supreme Court and for destroying the safe guards of property and American labor, very well. Go your way and do your duty as you see it. TI shall do mine as T see it, and I think I can best do it by speaking as a Republican to Re publicans; by keeping my right to speak as a counsellor and as associate of the men who have wrought everything that has been wrought for liberty In this country since the Treaty of Peace in 1783, and not as the associate or through the instrumentalities of the party or men who have been ranged for sixty years on the side of despotism and oppression, of dishonor and of low wages. What a contrast that calm, tolerant statement, “Go your way and do your duty as you see it,” makes with Mr. Winslow's vituperation of the “apostate” ‘“sullied” with “mud slinging”! Which is more worthy to be followed by thoughtful, cultivated, self-respecting men? The imperial message which Mr. Wu Ting Fang yesterday communicated to the Secretary of State at Washington is one of the most in teresting utterances called forth by the present Chinese troubles, no matter in what light we re gard it. If it be regarded as a specious and de lusive attempt to screen the Chinese Govern ment from the blame due because of its mis deeds, it must be considered extraordinarily adroit and effectively fitted to the known facts of the case. If, on the other hand, it be re ceived as a substantially truthful, or at least sincere, statement of the Chinese side of the case, it amounts to a serious arraignment of the Powers, and must be uncomfortable reading at all capitals except Washington. At the latter it can be regarded with equanimity if not with satisfaction, since if every word of it be true there is not in the whole of it a single implied reproach of the American policy. The com plaints against the Powers are specifically for doing what this country alone refrained from doing.

We are inelined to think that when the real facts of the case are finally sifted from the lying rumors put forth so abundantly by the clubs and sensational press of Shanghai it will appear that this Chinese statement is largely true. We know, in faet, that much of it is ex actly true. Tts account of the rise of the Boxer insurrection is not to be contradicted. Its ad mission that the local authorities failed to take proper notice of that movement bears an air of honesty. Entirely reasonable, too, is the state ment that, the riots at Peking becoming formidable and beyond the power of the Gov ernment at once to control, the foreign Minis ters were requested temporarily to remove to Tien-Tsin. In fact, we have hitherto been in formed that such was the case. Finally, the gravamen of the whole case, the complaint of the attack upon the Taku forts, accords pre cisely with many former intimations to the effect that the allied fleets acted with injudi cious haste, and by so doing greatly aggravated the intestine troubles of China and put the for eigners at Peking into far greater jeopardy.

These things do not, of course, excuse the Empress for her encouragement of the anti foreign agitation—that she did encourage fit is, we believe, beyond dispute. It does not excuse Prince Tuan for his attempted coup d'état and usurpation. And it may be that this very mes sage is put forth in part by those who tere re sponsible for the outbreak and are now seeking to screen themselves. But the paramount fact is this, that there is a serious governing body at Peking, which has all along been opposed to the Boxers and friendly to foreigners, and which is now earnestly striving to bring order out of chaos and to make safe the lives of for eigners at Peking and elsewhere in the Empire, It behooves all the Powers now intervening in China to co-operate with that Government, both for its sake and for their own. And if it be true that they did act prematurely in firing upon the Taku forts, the best amends that can be made will be a strenuous effort to facilitate the work of the Chinese Government in re storing and maintaining order. As for this country, having taken no part in that episode, it has nothing to regret and nothing for which to atone. The correctness of its course from be ginning to end is vindicated by the testimony of the Chinese Government itself.

It is probably the thought of an American citizen who has been reading the anti-imperialist, anti-trust, anti-English, anti-Administration demagogy till his poor brain is turned. And he will probably vote accordingly next November. This letter is simply the reductio ad absurdum of half of the Bryanite speeches and articles.

This letter seems so insignificant and crazy as to be worthy of only laughter or pity. But is it much different in essence from the utterances of some of our men of pretentiously superior learn ing and morality? Mr. William Lloyd Garrison spells correctly, is a professed rhetorician and has a pretty taste for poetry. But are his state ments in prose and verse about tools and tyrants and murderers, his comparison of President McKinley with Abdul Hamid, and his whole sale abuse of everybody In power as bloody minded and corrupt widely different in spirit from the similar sentiments blunderingly expressed in feeble imitation by this poor crank? Is Mr. E. L. Godkin, who, as he him self confesses from a “deep seated prejudice “and without the facts or means of getting the “facts,” expresses the opinion that the President and his advisers are “the most dangerous set “of scoundrels by which a civilized country was “ever beset,” on a much higher plane than this ignoramus in the discussion of polities? Are they and their kind not rather responsible for leading the unbalanced and illiterate astray by their reckless and unmeasured slanders founded on mere prejudice, dislike or difference of opinion?

Newport, R. 1, July 11 (Special).—Henry O. Havemeyer, jr., and Miss Charlotte Whiting were married this morning at Swanhurst, the summer home of the bride's aunt, Mrs. George I.. Rives. The bridegroom is the son of the late Theodore A. Havemeyer, and the bride the daughter of the late Augustus Whiting and a great-granddaughter of Judge Swan, of Ohlo. The Rev. Willlam B. Meenan, pastor of St. Mary's Ronian Cathelic Church—the bridegroom being of that faith—performed the ceremony, the bride being given away by her uncle, George L. Rives. F. C. Havemeyer, brother of the bride groom, was the best man, and the bridesmaids were Miss Natica Rives, cousin of the bride, and Miss Lily Oelrichs, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Oelrichs and a cousin of the bride groom. The ushers were Howard Boocock, of Brooklyn, and J. M. McCormick, of Chicago, classmates of Mr. Havemeyer at Yale.

The bride wore a gown of lace, with long tulle veil and orange blossoms, and a tiara of five large diamond suns in her hair. She carried a shower bouquet made on one side of orange blossoms and on the reverse with lilies of the valley, festooned with numerous white silk rib bon streamers from end to end. The bridesmaids carried bouquets of brides maid roses, festooned with long streamers of pink ribbon. They wore white dresses and pink hats.

The marriage ceremony was performed under a Gothic arch made of white roses, rare white orchids and lilies of the valley. Leading to the floral arch, through the centre of the long draw ing room, an aisle was formed with pairs of white columns, graded in height from eight to three feet. These columns were garlanded with ferniike asparagus plumosa vine, festooned with white roses and jasmine, and connected with each other by bands of broad white sash ribbon, the effect being beautiful and impressive, and an entirely new idea for a home wedding. The re mainder of this bridal room on either Side of the floral aisle was decorated with American Beauty roses. The dining room, being made a continuation of the bridal room, was decorated in a similar manner, the mantels and mirrors draped with the plumosa vine, and tall vases of unique de sign, filled with American Beauty roses, heing placed in the most effective places throughout the room. The library and halls were massed with graceful palms and trailing vines, festooned with bunches of pink roses. An especially attractive effect of this floral work was the manner in which the large main entrance hall was arranged. There was a draped curtain of graceful ferns and vines, which part ly hid ithe view from the driveway into the hall, and gave a fine effect of the decoration within. The banisters of the wide stairways all the way to the top of the house were massed with rich green foliage, festooned with bunches of pink roses, tied with large bowknots of pink satin. The wide piazza and lawn, leading down to a large tent, where the wedding breakfast was served, were banked with graceful palms and massive ferns, giving a tropical effect. One table was arranged on the broad veranda for the bridal party. the bride's cake in the centre

being completely surrounded with a wide bor der of lilies of the valley and white orchids. The large tent, which seated two hundred guests, was a bower of rich green foliage and clusters of pink flowers, and the thirty-eight large round tables in this tent were decorated with baskets of pink sweetpeas, The wedding march was played by the Harry K. Howard Orchestra, while the full Newport band played on the lawn during the reception. The tent where the reception took place meas ured 40 by 70 feet. The “ceiling” was striped off with red and white bunting, and the sides were of solid red, looped at intervals of 12 feet all the way round. Each of the several open ings was banked with palms and oak brancies in full leaf. After the reception Mr. and Mrs. Havemeyer left Swanhurst to take the Wickford boat to begin their wedding journey. Coachman, foot man and horses—a pair of steel grays—were decorated with lilies of the valley and maiden hair ferns. The best man and ushers had en gaged the Naval Training Station Band, having a drag for its exclusive use. The band followed close in the wake of the bridal carriage. The wharf was reached twenty minutes before the arrival of the boat, a large number of wedding guests and others being assembled. The best man and ushers, accompanied by the brides maids, were on hand. The bride threw kisses to the crowd, who cheered her repeatedly. A huge white canvas slipper filled with rice was thrown on board, and the band played until the steamer was lost to view.

July 11.—The members of the Educational Association put in a busy, gay, two sessions of the general organization and NY meetings of the departments taking up their time. 1 Booker T. Washington. the negro educator, drew wrgest crowd of the Convention at the Audito pum to-night, speaking on the advancement of the man along educational lines. The Nomi Committee will meet at noon to-morrow nating apd decide upon a candidate for president. Cali fornia is expecied 10 present the name of Professor foshay. of Los Angeles, but the sentiment of many of the delegates is that the honor should go gas: Professor J. M. Green, of Trenton, N.

Cincinnati and Detrott are the next convention. St. Louis has put i@ for the convention in 193. the year of abd the Exposition there

At the morning session the topic of discussion was The Contributions of Religious Organizations to the Cause of Education.” President Corson an pounced that as it was impossible to have all de pominations take part he had asked the Roman Catholic, Baptist and Methodist churches to partici pate. Oscar -H. Cooper, president of Baylor Uni versity, Waco, Tex., spoke for the Baptists, and Dr. Conde B. Pallen, of St. Louis, for the Catholic Church. The Methodist representative was not able to be present At the night session Professor Booker T. Wash ington, president of the Normal and Industrial In situte a: Tuskegee, Ala. delivered an address. In the course of it he suid: in the South both races have had to contend with prob.ems and difficulties such as no other Ppeo pie have had to meet. When we disarm ourselves of passion and prejudice we must acknowledge thar the South owes much to the negro. and the Negro owes much to the South. The black man is bound to the history, the customs, the people of the South by ties which few can understand or appreciate. Here it was thal we came three centuries ago in our heathenism, here we were taugnt the religion of Christ, here we came without a language, here we were taught the Anglo-Saxon tongue; here we came with untrained hands, nere we were taught industry and thrift. The time has come I pelleve, when the wealth and culture of the whole South are going to take hold in a wholesouled, generous manner to lift the negro up in religion, morals, education and industry. No race can op press or neglect a weaker race without degrading #tsel! No race can lift up a weaker race without glevating and strengthening itself. Opposition de grades: assistance elevates. The negro can afford 10 be wronged, the white man cannot afford to Tong lhe weakest or meanest member of any race without the proudest and bluest biood in the white man’s civilization being degraded. Every white man in America should make an I effort to deal justly and generously with ack race. In doing this vou wiil not only help the negro. but vou will help yourselves. It is €2sy 0 real those who are our equals in wealth, intelligence and social standing with justice, generosity and politeness, but the time to find the rue worth of an individua! i= when he is in con tect with an unfortunate individual or race.

“aa 4 ROSSITER RATISFIED WITH B.R. T. BAYS EARNINGE FOR THE LAST TEAR ARE THE LARGEST IN ITS HISTORY. SAYS EARNINGS FOR THE LAST YEAR ARE HE LARGEST IN ITS HISTORY. The first authoritative statement which has been made in regard to the earnings of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company for the fiscal! year ended June 30 came yesterday from President Rossiter, who sald in an interview published in a Brooklyn Paper:

The earnings of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit mpany for the last year are =satisfactory—the largest made in the history of the road. The anual report, which is now in course of prepara Bon, will be ready and filed ahead of the time pre scribed for such action. The exact figures will Bot be made public until! the report is completed, and I wil. make no estimates.

There has been for some time much guessing in Wail 8treer as to the showing which would be made by the eompany for the vear just ended, a year Which included the period of the costly strike. AS recently as Monday of this week a local finan Cal news bureau printed a series of figures from Which appeared that the net earnings for the Fear would be only $231,060. Lasi year's net earn ings, powever aggregated about $480.00, twice the DEWSE bureau's estimate for this year; and accord to President Rossiter the annual report socn 10 be fied at Albany will show net earnings in ex Cess of the iatter sum. The repors was received yesterday that the Broockiyrn Rapid Transit Company would socn ke over the Coney Island and Brooklyn Rail rozd Company, owning or controlling the DeKalb ave, Bmith-st. snd Frankiin-ave lines.

Paris. July 11.—The committee to which the Municipal Council referred the proposal to grant gratuifously a site worth 400,00 francs for an American National institute has decided to report against the grant. The report of the committee will probably be submitted to the Council tomor row. and a vote will be taken which will deter mine the fate of the proposed institute.

The committee's important decision regarding the American institute is the outcome of the opposi tion of Councillor Charles Fortin, who submitted a resolution annulling the action of the Council last year, when the site was actually voted. He pro tested vigorously against the gift, which, he ai leges, is antagonistic to the interests of French artists, who, he says, are not treated as well in America as Americans are treated here. His coun ter proposal lapsed, owing to the dissolution of the Council, but on the Nationalist victory at the late elections he renewed it, and the matter was re ferred to a committee.

The committee's report sets forth that no docu ment was furnished to it regarding the authoriza tion given by the State of New-York, and that there i8 nothing to show the attitude toc be as sumed toward the institute by the other States of the Union. It is added that the documents sub mitted to the committee would indicate that the institute is really a private enterprise, partly sup ported by gifts, but mainly by fees for board and lodging to be paid by the students.

The report also quoted an American pamphlet and a letter from Archbishop Ireland in support of the conclusion of the committee that the insti tute is “purely a commercial undertaking.” The report ends:

While we must rejoice to see foreigners come to Paris to study the works of our artists and learned men, Tet this instruction ought not to be obtained at the expense of our finances, which are so impov erished whenever it is a question of encouraging our own countrymen. Moreover, if our artists wish to become known in America and create outlets there for their works their aspirations are quickly crushed by heavy cus toms duties, often equalling the value of the ohiect. Now you are asked liberally to assist a work whose immediate effect will be to accentuate the compe tition against our artists; therefore, from the art side as well as from the French view, we see only reasons simply to reject the petition.

PRETORIA ADVICES SAY THAT DUTCH REALIZE HOPELESSNESS OF STRUGGLE. Pretoria, July 10.—The British success at Beth lehem has considerably improved prospects for peace, it is said here. The whole of the Govern ment of President Steyn of the Orange Free State has surrendered except President Steyn himself. British prisoners have been allowed to communicate with President Steyn for the pur pose of attempting to prove to him the useless ness of a continuance of the struggle, which can only precduce bloodshed without any counter ad vantages. The collapse of the forces of Gener. De Wet is expected daily. The Boers here say that the men have taken a sclemn oath never personally to surrender, but that they are begin ning to see the unfairness of sacrificing life to personal wishes. It is expected that when General Botha learns of the defeat of his colleagues he will gladly enter into conferences looking to the establishment of peace. The need of more civil administrators is urgent, and the necessity for their appointment ig becoming dally more ap parent. Intelligent administrators with a knowl edge of the people could undoubtedly greatly aid

in the future settlement of difficulties, inasmuch as a frank feeling in favor of submission is prevalent among the Boers. PRETORIA ADVICES SAY THAT DUTCH REALIZE HOPELESSNESE OF STRUGGLE.

It is sald that the measure will not become effasctive before autumn.

BRITISH STEAMER FROM SINGAPORE BRINGS IN A SNAKE STORY. appa os tiie dh pdt A 4N ad Sdn Yb Pred) i a. The British steamer St. Regulus entered port Tuesday night with three pythons, a pig and a strange snake yarn aboard. When the ship began her long voyage at Singapore there were four pythons and a little pig that was not counted, for it was expected that it would be only the most transient of passengers. When Captain McMullen took on his serpents he was told that they would not eat much on the voyage, for they were poor sailors. Perhaps it would be wise, though, he was advised, to set a little morsel like a pig within their reach, as they might get hungry. A little provision like this, ex perts on snakes informed him, would Keep the reptiles from trying to break loose and overrun the ship. So the captain bought a bit of a pig and put it in the case of the largest snake. The sailors took much pride In their ugly mas cots, especially in the biggest, and at every port in the Orient where they touched they showed them to many visitors. But the python family was not the great curiosity in the East that it would be in America. With this thought in their minds the proud sailors longed for the end of the voyage and the chance to point out to New-Yorkers tne big pets from the tropics. The little pig grew in the mean time. It was al ways hungry, and the ocean breezes, instead of affecting it badly, made it even more ravenous and greedy than its kind that are fattened in sties on shore. In their admiration of the big python the sailors one day forgot to feed the pig they were keeping for the snake's repast. When the hungry porker had squealed untii the seamen began to think they could use it as a fog horn, it began to look around for something to stay its appetite. Then the pig took a taste of the big python that should have eaten the pig. The taste must have been palatable, for the pig dined heartily—so heartily that the python died.. The disgusted salil ors threw the body of the big Serpent overboard and fed the pig on the best canned goods on hoard. Python meat had no 111 effect upon the pig, but it was considered too rich a diet for a young porker. The snakes and the pig are now separated. NORTH GERMAN LLOYD'S PLANS. DIRECTOR AND CHIEF MARINE ENGINEER ARRIVE FROM BREMEN AND CONFER WITH MR. SCHWAR Christopher Leist, of Bremen, director of the North German Lloyd Company, and Theodore Beul, of Bremerhaven, chief marine engineer of that line, arrived last evening on board the steamship Kaiserin Maria Theresia. She went to the Cunard pier, at Jane-st., at 7:30 o'clock. Gustav H. Schwab, the New-York agent of the line, was the first among the few persons who went aboard before the passengers came ashore. He met the men from the home office of his company, and they all went to the chartroom for consultation. Mr. Schwab there told them all about the fire, and what his men had done since it happened. Mr. Schwab said that no information would be given tc the public just yet.

The local representatives of the line say that Mr. Leist and Mr. Beul know nothing of conditions here, and will be unable to say anything about sites and plans until they have thoroughly looked over the ground. They will stay in this country several weeks. A rumor that the line might move its terminals to Brooklyn was quickly denied by the officials in this city. There is little probability that the com pany will leave the west side of North River. Among the other passengers were E. R. Acker mann, Henry Arnstein, of the North German Lloyd: Robert A. Bacon.

Washington, July 11 (Special).—Information has been received a! the Postoffice Department of the death of Dr. Charles F. Macdonald, for thirty years a trusted employe of the Department, and the man who perfected the money crder system by adapting that in use in Canada and Great Britain. Dr. Macdonald was a tutor in a school ifn Massachusetts when he received an appointment in the Postoffice Department. By strict attention to duty he rapidly rose until! finally he became chief of the money order system. For upward of a quarter of a century he held this important place. In 1884 he resigned, and became United States Con sul at Hamilton, Ont. Dr. Macdonald was a man of rare attainments. He was a finished scholar and a linguist of ability.

FRANCIS R. TORRINGTON. Washington, July 11.—The Isthmian Canal Com mission to-day received a cable message from Darien saying that Francis R. Torrington, an en gineer in the employ of the Commission, was dead. The message came from Boyd Ehle, an assistant engineer at that place. It gave no particulars. Mr. Torrington was employed by the former Nicaragua Commission for two years, and had been with the resent body about nine months. He was from ernwood, Penn. The Commission received a let ter from Mr. Torrington several days ago, but it contained nothing to indicate that he was {ll GEN. GREENE SUSTAINS GRUBER. AUSTIN REQUIRED TO RECOGNIZE HIM IN THE. XXIST DISTRICT. Abraham Gruber, the so-called anti-machine leader of the XXIst Assembly District, was yes terday officially recognized by General Greene, the president of the Republican County Committee, as the organization leader of his Assembly district, and ex-Assembiyman George C. Austin was in formed that hereafter Mr. Gruber must be recog nized as the district leader. General Greene had both leaders at his office, No. 11 Broadway, yes terday, and communicated the intelligence to them. Mr. Austin says that his friends will stick to gether and try to wrest the leadership from Gru ber at the August primaries. Mr. Gruber says nothing further than that Austin's “>llowing will dwindle as the days go by. Mr. Gruber made it Known to General Greene a few davs ago that the Austinites were soliciting campaign subscriptions without consulting the reg ularly elected district leader (himself), and he told the General that this was clearly a violation of organization custom. When General! Greene's predecessor was running the County Committee every officeholder in the Assembly district was set to work against Gruber. This sort of warfare will now cease, and it is believed by Gruber’'s friends that Gruber’'s victory is a permanent cne. The decision of General Greene shows that he is trying to bring about harmony in the party wher ever it Is pessible. The XXIst district is one of the largest and ‘“‘safest’” in the county. A bitter factional fight there was regarded as dangerous by State Chairman Odell and other prominent Re publicans in the State. As soon as General Greene was elected president of the County Committee he turned his attention to the muddie in this district. As a result of the fight made by Gruber against certain men in the organization a County Commit tee official who started to annihilate Gruber found it expedient to retire from his official position in the committee. Gruber’'s friends last night were jubilant over his victory, and they predict an in creased Republican majority in the district.

The weather to-day will be showery and cooler, THE PASSING THRONG. John Barrett, formerly Minister to Siam, is now in this city, at the Waldorf-Astoria. In speaking of the Chinese insurrection last MR. BARRETT night he sald: “The destiny of ON SITUATION China hangs on the life of the IN CHINA. American Minister. The United States is looked upon by the mere intelligent class in China as a friend who has no axe to grind. Should Mr. Conger be killed, there fore, it would be believed throughout the Empire that the Power which has thus far disinterestedly guarded China against foreign aggression had heen antagenized, and the last prop of hope for a stable government had been knocked away. In case of our Minister's death, I believe that war will result between China and the foreign Powers. The result will Inevitably be her dismemberment. “I had a talk only a few days ago with Wu Tin Fang, the Chinese Minister at Washington, and found that he fully realizes how dependent is China’s integrity upen the life of Mr. Conger. Wu Ting Fang has been working heroically to save the American Ambassador from the fanaticism of the Boxers, and if his life has been preserved too much credit cannot be given to the energy of the Chinese representative. His intercessions with the Govern ment at Peking have also met the appreciation of diplomatic circles in Washington, and. judging from a conversation 1 had recently with Secretary Hay, he is regarded with special favor by the State De partment. Herbert Lieblitz, a merchant of Berlin sald to a Tribune reporter last night at the Herald Square Hotel: “The song ‘Deutschland THE GERMAN Uber Alles’ is now being sung in FEELING the streets of our German cities AGAINST with the greatest fervor. The CHINA. death of our Minister at Peking

and the stirring appeal of Em peror William to the people have aroused the na tional spirit to an unwonted height. As a general thing, service in the army is dreaded by the young German, because his plans of life are retarded by it, but now many who have served their time are asking that they may continue in the service, “You may call it a spirit of revenge which has entered into the people, but it is also a feeling of righteous indignation. It is rather the feeling that it is the duty of a civilized nation te put an end to such barbarism and fanaticism as are now rampant in China. It is becoming the general belief of the people that China should be divided among the European nations.” DOCK BOARD RULE PREPOSTEROUS FRESIDENT CRAM SAYS A MISTAKE WAS MADE IN GIVING IT OUT. The amendment to Rule 18 of the Rules and Reg ulations of the Dock Board, that was distributed on Wednesday, astonished vessel owners. It forbade, under a penalty of 350 a day, loading or unloading from a pler or a lighter or barge alongside a pier ‘any cotton, turpentine, rosin, hay, straw, ex celsior, hemp, palm, fibre, sea moss, oil or other in flammable merchandise.” When John Lee, general agent for the White Sta Line, was told of the regulation, he would not at first believe such a rule possible. When he be came convinced that it was the way the text read he said it would drive his company over to Ho boken. Cotton and other freight that his line handles could not be touched unless they were loaded in the middie of the river, and then they could not be discharged, for there was no other way of doing it except by using a pier. President J. Sergeant Cram of the Dock Board explained it all by saying tne rule was evidently not printed correctly. There should have been a qualifying clause in it, so as to prevent these staples from being left any considerable length of time on the piers. ARMY AND NAVY ORDERS.

Stock market trading was made up in great part of the transactions of professional opera tors. The early movement of prices was irreg ular, but considerable strength was shown, while in only a few issues losses were recorded. Stocks representing the granger roads were sold by traders, owing to the heavy decrease in earnings shown by the St. Paul company In the first week in July, but on the decline offer ings were taken by a good class of buyers. The Government crop report caused some selling of the Western shares, and also moderate buying of the Southwestern shares, the estimate of this vear’'s wheat vield indicating poor results in the Northwest and good results in the Southwest. Stocks of the corn carrying roads ought to be favorably affected by the July report of crop conditions, as preliminary figures foreshadow a bumper corn harvest; in fact, a yield not far below the record yield of 1896, when 2,283,875, 165 bushels were gathered. Atchison preferred and Burlington were not affected by the corn crop report, but Rock Island showed decided strength, with some commission house buying in the afternoon. Sentiment was favorably im pressed by the good buying in Union Pacific, and the accompanying strength in that issue induced covering throughout the list and re newed operations for a rise. The railway list as a whole made important gains. Industrial stocks were generally firm, but the steel issues were somewhat heavy.

22 ania i os 25 ne ga Bois! tome 67 The decrease of £110,218 in the earnings of the St. Paul system for the first week in July doubtless reflects the beginning of a lighter vol ume of business on the Western roads. And it is possible that all roads will now begin to show the effect of trade reaction, which has been in force long enough to cut into traffic receipts in all parts of the country. It should be borne in mind, however, that comparisons are made with a period a year ago, when earnings were enormous. In the first week of July last year the St. Paul company showed an increase over the corresponding time in 1808 of $203,822, while the record for this year is better than that of two vears ago by £03 000, and, with the excep tion of 1809 and 1892, it is the best for the period in the history of the company. Trade reaction this summer may cut down traffic re c=ipts, but the reduced volume of business will be small only in comparison with last year’s iremendous earnings. The decreases shown by var.ous roads in the first week in July come at a time when the railroads are well able to stand a smaller income, and it should not be assumed that railroad bankruptcy or dividend reductions will follow. The railroads of the country have not been paying dividends to the limit of earn ings in the last two years, and it would require an enormous contraction in business to leave net earnings after interest charges below cur rent dividend requirements. Falling earnings, however, may hurt Wall Street sentiment, and they certainly will not encourage public opera tions in stocks. So far, however, first week earnings show that of twenty-five companies re porting only eight return losses. 141 Ee 3 ih 631 we 1.26 Tr Ee fn Blt San i [oo B32 Bh Ls +27 19% LI Nn i, 3%! 1 Ln 9 1 Ov en H 49% fing TET 1H sili a 62 Tn a ae 01,1 5 Sia 22 Via i Sere 4! 5 2 3 20 Sa as 2g io H aa eo!

Good buying of Union Pacific securities has been noted in the last two days. The approach of the company's semi-annual dividend period has at tracted attention to the stocks, and commission houses have bought for inside account. The con fidence that the managers of the Union Pacific have in the property is reflected in the heavy hold ings of the directors, one of whom is said to be the heaviest individual stockholder on the books. Union Pacific common is a 3 per cent stock, yield ing 5 per cent, and the preferred a 4 per cent stock, vielding 51% per cent. As the company is earning fully 6 per cent on the common after heavy expenditures for betterments both issues should prove attractive investments and speculations. A ‘Wall Street news bureau printed the following ves terday on Union Pacific: We learn that the net income of Union Pacific from all sources for the vear ending June 30, ex cluding only land sales, amounts to something in excess of $20,000,000. Deducting from this fixed charges for the whole system, amounting to $8,000 000, approximately leaves available a surplus in ex cess of $12,000,000. The preferred dividend calls for about $4,000,000 in round figures, so that there is left for the common a surplus in excess of $8,000, 000, being the equivalent of over 8 per cent. The company has over $8,000,000 cash on hand, over $87,000,000 of securities in its treasury and over £12,000,000 of unsold lands. Practically all the Short Line and Navigation stocks have been con verted into Union Pacific stocks. An operator who is well informed on Missourt Pacific affairs was quoted as follows yesterday regarding the company: All ODCEaLUL WALD lo" WER SLL IRRCLE WE AlieaoiliAd 2 Pacific affairs was quoted as follows yesterday regarding the company: I venture to predict that Missouri Pacific will not pay a dividend for at least three years. ‘The prin cipal interests in Missouri Pacific are not trading in the stock. Their money is in the bonds, and their revenue comes from them. They know that the only way to make the bonds stand high is to devel op the road to a point where the surplus earnings will remove all question in regard to the payment of interest. The way to do this is to put earnings into the road liberally and intelligently, in order to enable the company to operate to the best pos sible advantage and to be able to make money in bad times. The managers of the Missouri Pacific know that prosperity is not continuous, and that the time will come when the strengtin of the road will be again tested. They want the physical con dition of the road to be of the highest and the equipment of the best. They want to encourage the development of the local business, and they want such strength financially and nhysically os will remove the last vestige of anxiaty in rezard to the stability of the system. The Missouri Pacific man agers are altogether too wise and too farsighted to pay money in dividends, even if they were to obtain a good share of the money, when it can be utilized to so much better advaitage, LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE. The report of the Louisville and Nashville for the last fiscal year, partly esumated, shows about 7 per cent on the stock after crediting surplus in come with the surplus of the South and North Alabama. In the last few months imprevements charged to operating expenses have been heavy, and it is thought that betterments will account for at least 1% per cent of earning capacity. The dividend of 2 per cent just declared places the stock upon a 4 per cent basis for the first time since 1883. The company resumed dividends in Feb ruary, 1839, when 1'2 per cent was paid, This was fellowed in July of that year by 1% per cent and 12 of 1 per cent extra, and by 2 per cent last Jan uary. In 1890 the company paid 6 per cent; in 1891, 5 per cent; 1892, percent; 1893, 4 por cent. AMERICAN LINSEED DEAL It is reported from well informed circles that ne gotiations are still pending between the American Linseed (ompany and the British Linseed Oil Company for the control by the two concerns of the linseed oil business in this country and in Eu rope. The president of the American Linseed Com pany will go to Europe again after the crop of flaxseed in this country is known, and it is be lieved that the proposed deal between the compa nies will then be carried out, AMERICAN CAR AND FOUNDRY EARN INGS. The latest earnings of the American Car and Foundry Company show that the company is earning at the rate of $500,000 net a month. The in crease over last year is enormous, and is due en tirely to increased gross revenue from car and foundry work. The company's export business is increasing rapidly, and despite general trade reac tion orders for new cars show no material fall ing off.

NEW-YORK AND HARLEM STOCK SAT FS Twelve hundred and fifty shares of New-York and Harlem stock were dealt in yesterday, from 405 to 416. a net advance of fourteen points from the last preceding sale. The advance Was due to buying by Redmond, Kerr Co., and the principal sellers were Ladenburg, Thalmann Co. The last sale of a full lot of Harlem stock prior to vesterday was made in 1897, and the last sale of an odd lot on May 16, of the present year, when thirty-three shares were sold at 400. Since then a dividend of 4 per cent has been paid. One report was that the purchases were for the account of W. K. Van derbilt. Another explanation of the advance Was that the stock. although inactive en the Exchange, has ruled on the “curb” at 415 of late, and ‘hat the offer of a block on the Stock Exchange at ten points under that market induced a purchasing demand from Investment houses, the price rising quickly. The New-York, and Harlem Railroad is leased to the New-York Central, which pays 8 per cent divi dends on its stock and the interest on its bonds. TO CONSIDER CASE OF TWO RROKERS A special meeting of the Governing Committee of the New-York Stock Exchange has been called for next Tuesday afternoon, when action of a de cisive character will probably be taken in the case of two members whose alleged misconduct or breach of the rules was recently reported. The trouble is said to have originated In a dispute over a transaction in a stock in which both the princi pals are specialists. The Committee of Arrange ments met on Monday and went over the charges as filed by the two members, and submitted the case to the Governing Committee, which alone is hi FY 10% $3 a7 4 2 as 100 2 108

THIS ING 0G 0,556 Chicago, July 11 (Special). —Wheat prices at one time to-day showed an advance of about 3 cents. and the close was about 2c over Tuesday Sep tember opened from $1 c to S2c, sold between Me and S3c, and closed at S2%e to Sle; August closed at S1%c to Sliae: July, SO%e to Sige. The strength was altogether on the Government crop report issuea yesterday afterncon, which reduced the wheat prospect 100.000.0060 bushels from the Juse figures. The July report so fully realized the duil expectation that it started a confident buying at the opening, and there were no signs of timidity on the part of holders at any time in the session. There was practically no other consideration. There was considerable else that was rather bear ish. Liverpool was only Td higher: Paris was lower: the harvest news from Russia and. Rumania was exceedingly favorable. These circumstances were all considered of little importance com with the July Government announcement indicat ing only 474000000 bushels of wheat, com with 373.000.000 bushels indicated June 10. and tompared with 3M7.000.000 bushels harvested vear.

Corn prices closed Ise to 1c over Tuesday, n spite of the Government percentages suggesting vield of about 2.200.000.0080 bushels. The speculative view of the Government announcement on corm that the Government 1s two weeks behind the facts and that next month's report will show their lossed in Kansas an? Nebraska, which the trade has from private sources within the last ten days Snow, who is in Kansas, wires that the heat drouth there are continuing, and the damage is i creasing. Kansas and Nebraska showed no rain to-day. High maximum temperatures were pe dicted for Kansas for to-morrow. September opened from 43%¢ to 887%0c, sold between and closed at #%c.; August closed at HC: July. £%¢c. The MNttle reaction from the top in the last hour was on news of scattered showers In Nebraska.
