Whitney Gives Them as One of Chief Rcasons., George I. Whitney, of Pittsburg, head of the banking house of Whitney, Stephenson Co, which failed for over $5,000,000 in the panic last fall. in a letter to friends in this city under date of September 2 says that one of the chief rea gons for the recent suspension of the Stock Ex change firm of A. O. Brown Co. was the heavy advances it made to Whitney, Stephenson Co. and to Mr, Whitney personally before and after the Pittsburg firm's collapse. A. O. Brown Co. were the New York correspondents of Whitney, Stephenson Co. and were known at the time to have been hard hit by the latter firm's failure, Mr. Whitney in his letter says that the loans of A. O. Brown Co. to his firm amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and refers to the collateral on which the loans were made as of no possible use to A. O. Brown Co. in the panic period.” This collateral is understood to have been bonds of the Whitney company, a big water power concern, with $10,000,000 stock and $4,500,000 bonds, which has a mammoth dam and water power plant in North Carolina. The com pany was organized by Whitney, Stephenson Co. and the bonds were underwritten by A. O. Brown Co, Mr. Whitney praises in particular the liberal ity of E. Buchanan, the managing partner of A. O. Brown Co, who was formerly a tele graph operator. The letter follows, in part: Perhaps no one person had as much to do with the troubles, recently made public, of the firm of A. O. Brown Co. as the writer. When my busi ness difficulties became urgent last winter I went to them in my distress, and instead of finding marble hearts they one and all gave me not only their sympathy but likewise their support, both moral end substantial. On the very eve of our failure they made large sdvances to me on collaterals which then could have been of no ssible use to them, which ad vances served to discharge liabilities which, if not so gischarged, would have placed us in peril of the law. Later on they still unswervingly main tained their cordial and sympathetic attitude. Mr. E. F. Buchanan especially treated me like a brother, and when I had no place to turn not only did he give me the means to live, but to an ex tent I scarcely dare mention gave me moneys to distribute to persons I owed, where the loss would have occasioned acute distress. In other direc tions wherein we were mutually liable he not only shouldered his own bupden, but in countless instances assumed and paid my share, when verily believe that neither morally nor legally could he have been compelled to do so. These many obligations, now amounting to hun dreds of thousands of dollars, he treated as loan to be repaid, if ever, only at the convenience o the debtor. Nor am I the only beneficiary of his bounty. His charity is broader than his big shoulders and as enduring as the kindly light from lis steadfast eyes. Charles E. Littlefield, receiver for A. O. Brown Co. reiterated yesterday his former statement that the affairs of the failed firm were in a badly tangled condition. Mr. Littlefield's statement is as follows: On Mondzy last the members of the firm of A. 0 Brown Co. voluntarily submitted themselves io an examination by Messrs. Havs Hirshfield, my attorneys, the examination being taken by a stenographer from the office of the attorneys. It Des made for the purpose of enabling me to re uce promptly to possession their assets and ac quiring such information as was necessary to enable me promptly to protect the interests of the creditors in connection therewith. _.This examination has been continued upon those lives from time to time ever since, and is ‘now going or.

Intimate Friend of Bryan Victim of Anopleaxu. Colonel Alexander Troup, one of the best known Bryan Democrats of the East, editor of “The New Haven Union,” and member of the East ern advisory committee of, the Democratic Na tional Committes, died suddenly at 8:30 last evening in the Grand Central Station. He had been attending a conference at National Chair “man Mack's headquarters at the Hoffman House in the afternoon and was returning to his home in New Haven. His death was probably due to apoplexy. He was alone, but his identity was established by papers, letters and other arti cles, Mr. Troup was in the lavatory of the sta tion when he fell to the floor. Two station em ployves carried him to the emergency hospital. An ambulance was called from Flower Hospital, and Dr. Powers, who responded, found that Colonel Troup was dead. The body was removed to the East 51st street station, and there ex~mination of the poclaots ‘revealed Mr. Troup's ideptity *-tclogram has gent to his home, and it reached his son, Ale~ “ander Troup, jr., who arrived here oi train which left New Haven at 9:10 p. m. He was met at the Grand Central Station by Georgs W. Greene, national committeeman from Rhode Island, and John R. Burton. Alexander Troup was born of English parents in Halifax sixty-seven years ago. He came to this country when sixteen years old and learned the printer's trade in Boston. Thirty-five years ago he began his life in New Haven as a printer. Soon after his arrival he founded “The New Haven 1Tnion” as a weekly paper. A few years later fit was made a daily. He made it one of the most important Democratic papers in the state. A life long Democrat and for twelve years the leader of his party in Connecticut he held only two public offices of importance—member of the State L.egis lature, and Collector of Internal Revenus for the District of Connecticut and Rhode Island under President Cleveland. Colonel Troup broke with President Cleveland over the bond issues of his second term. He was the original Bryan man of Connecticut, his newspaper alone indorsing the Nebraskan in 18% in the Nutmeg State. He was often referred to as one of W. J. Bryan's most in timate friends. The frequent visits made by Mr. Bryan to New Haven were as the guest of Colonel Troup. For two years, beginning with 1835, Mr. Troup was chairman of the Democratic State Cen tral Committes of Connecticut, and from 18% to 1900 he was a member of the Democratic National Committee. He was the organizer of the Bryan Progressive Democratic League of New England. last year Colonel Troup was warned that his heart was weak, and his physician advised him to retire from excessive labor. He then retired from the management of “The New Haven Union,” the executive work falling to the lot of his two sons. Colonel Troup attended the Denver convention, and had recently been travelling through New England in Mr. Bryan's interest. The strain is believed to have caused his death. Besides the two sons re ferred to, Colonel Troup leaves three daughters. Lincoln, NeL., ‘Sept. 4 —Mr. Bryan learnea of Alexander Troup’s death just as he was preparing for bed to-night. He gaid: «Mr. Troup was one of my closest personal and political friends. No one has been’ more loyal in his support or more unceasing in his labors during the last twelve years. He was an ideal citizen in public and in private life, devoted to every good and unselfishly interested in his country and in his fel low men. His death is a great grief to me and a oreat loss to our party.” LEPER GETS A PENSION. Commissioner Warner Puts John R. Farlu on the Roll. washington, Sept. 4.—A pension was granted to-day ta John R. Early, a supposed victim of leprosy, who is being maintained by the au thorities of the Disttict of Columbia. Early is a native of Lynn, N. C., but the officials of that state decline to be responsible for his mainte nance. He was a soldier for a considerable time, and while serving in the Philippines he probably contracted the disease. He was dis charged from the army at Plattsburg Barracks, New York, in 1904. Commissioner Warner issued a pension certifi cate for $12 a month to him. An effort is be ing made to have the authorities of the Soldiers’ Home here assume the burden of Early's care, but the arrangements have not been completed. Neo FUNDS. “RED SPECIAL” NOT COMING.

rRVAN'S TRIBUTE TO TROUP. GE aA STE ol ABOR DAY. EVIEWING STAND AT THE REUNION OF THE G. ‘A. R. AT TOLEDO, OHIO. TAFT HAS CONFERENCE WORKS AND FISHES. WORKS AND FISHES. Secretary Garfield's V ew of Cam paren Issues. Middls Bass Island, Ohio, Sept. 4~—Mr. Taft devoted the greater part of the forenoon to his correspondence, which for the last two days had remained unanswered. He then had a long conference on the general political situation with Secretary Garfield, and late this afternoon. hav ing accomplished a great smeount of work, he sought the fishing grounds, in company with General Corbin and “Ted” Miller. The Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Gar field left here this afternoon on the Cleveland boat for their home at Mentor. Before going Mr. Garfield discussed the political situation at some i=ngth. “There are so many issues local to the differ ~nt states,” he said, “that any big national issue that could be termed the centre of the campaign has not yet assumed prominence. But in the West the chief proposition is the. continuance of the present policy of the development of the public ‘lands and their resources and the pre ‘vention of their monopolization by single in terests. In the East the conviction is that on the money question the Republican party is the safe party to be intrusted with the development of a sound and logical money system for the country, and that seems to be the issue which the East regards as the most important. There is also great interest there in the upbuilding of the merchant marine, and the belief prevails there that the Republican. party is the only party from which aid can be expected in that direction. In spots in the East the tariff comes in for much discussion, but this appears to be purely local. In the Middle West tariff revision is the topic well in the foreground. A thorough revision is demanded by the manufacturing interests, and this demand is not that all schedules be reduced, but that many may be lowered and a few raised. The principle involved is the one which was so clearly set forth in the Ohlo platform and re written in the Republican national platform— such adjustment of the schedules as will equal the difference between the cost of production at home and the cost of production abroad. That is the basic principle upon which the revision can be wisely accomplished. “The general expression through the country, both East and West, is one of satisfaction with general conditions, which it is desired to con tinue, without the slightest intention to coun tenance a return to the old industrial conditions which have been exposed and ameliorated under the Roosevelt administration.” Mr. Taft and his party will leave Middle Bass Island for Sandusky: on Monday evening. He will remain ‘overnight, and leave there on the following day .for Cincinnati.’ IIalf of the news paper correspondents with Mr. Taft left here to-day for Youngstown, where the national campaign will be opened by Governor Hughes to-morrow, They will return Sunday morning. RESPITE FOR CONGRESS. G. A. R. Will Not Ask Legislation for Three Years. Toledo, Sept. 4.—A resolution granting Congress three years’ respite from old soldier legislation was adopted by the Grand Army of the Republic national encampment to-day. It appeared to be the consensus ci opinion of the leaders that too much hammering for pension bills and relief measures might reflect discredit on the Civil War veteran at the time in his life when he would need the most assistance at the hands of the nation he helped to save. After the installation of the newly elected na tional officers, the Grand Army of the Republic delegates decided upon Balt Lake City as the next meeting place... Vice-Commander in Chief Scott informed the encampment that Atlanta, with more skyscrapers and better and more hotels outside of seaside resorts, would be in the fleld for 1810. That she cquld take care of the Grand Army, his only fear was that she could not care for all the John nies who would come to greet them from three states. This was greeted with great applause, cheers and calls of “We will go!” “We want to onl" QUITS SOCIETY FOR SUN WORSHIP. [By 1eiegraph 10 116 LIIDRNEI Lowell, Mass.,' Sept. 4 -Mrs. Hen H.

NAME CUMMINS SENATOR. “Stand-Patters” Stay Out of Caucus and Threaten to Bolt Convention. IBv Telegraph to The Tribune.) Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 4.—Forty-seven “stand-patters” refused to go into the Repub lican Senatorial caucus to-day, but the pro gressives who did attend named Governor Cum mins for United States Senator for the unex pired term by a vote of 58 to 1. This vote is twenty less than the constitutional majority, and the result of the caucus shows that if the “stand-patters™” stay by their agreement the Governor will have to look for aid from the Democrats to be elected at the joint convention next Wednesday. There are reports in circulation to-night that after voting for Porter, the Democratic candi date, for a score or so of ballots, the Democrats will either decline to vote or enough will vote for Cummins to elect him Senator. The Demo cratic leaders say nothing in reply to this and the “stand-patters” say if Cummins is elected by the direct or indirect ald of the Democrats it will prevent any possibility of his election at the primaries in November for the full term. This morning a committees of “stand-patters” called on Governor Cummins with an ultimatum threatening his defeat at the November prima ries, when he will be a candidate for the full term. Governor Cummins in a caustic speech defied the “stand-patters” to do their worst. He declared they had feught him and abused him, and that if they bolted a regular Republican caucus and refused to vote for a candidate for United States Senator chosen at the caucus the ~onsequences would rest upon their own heads. FIRE SWEEPS RAWHIDE. Score Hurt and 3,000 Homeless Property Loss $750,000, Rawhide, Nev., Sept. 4. —Three thousand per sons homeless, a score or more Injured and a property of loss of more than $750,000 are the results of a disastrous fire which swept Rawhide this morning. Over a ton and a half of dynamite was used in the demolition of buildings, which in a measure stayed the flames. The volunteer fire department and five hundred miners worked heroically, but on account of the inflammable construction of the buildings they were swept ‘away like tinder. Among the first buildings to burn was a hard ware store containing two tons of dynamite that exploded with a terrific report, huriing burning planks and boards a great distance, setting fire to numerous buildings. The scenes were simi lar to those at the fire at Goldfleld in July, 1906, and at Cripple Creek in April, 1806. A famine was feared as all the supply houses and grocery stores were wiped out. A subserip tion list was started, and In a few minutes over $5,000 was raised, and a relief train started from Reno, carrying food and bedding. All the mining towns of the state came quickly to the assistance of the Rawhide sufferers with cash contributions.” The San Francisco Mining Ex change at once sent a contribution of 3500, The fire destroyed the hoisting works of the Bluff Mining Company, Grutt Hill properties and the Grutt business office, the loss on these amounting to $10,000, which is the extent of damage done the mining properties. The fire was brought under control after de stroying the entire business section, with the exception of one grocery store. The town has been placed under martial law. REV. DR.

Y., Sept. 4—Governor Hughes was coldly received by the organization Wadsworth Republicans, who control this dis trict, when he arrived here to-day to be tha speaker of the day at the Niagara County fair, But the warmth of the greeting of the tea thou= sand persons who crowded to the track and int» the grandstand to hear him made up for the machine frost. He came from Buffalo in a special car, accom paniéd by President Anderson Crowforth, officers of the Niagara County Fair Society, Congress~ man Peter A. Porter, Assemblyman Draper, Mayor Baker of Lockport, Mayor Douglass of Niagara Falls, and Supreme Court Justice Pound. Dinner was had at the Hotel Kenmore, where a large banner across the dining room bore the inscription, “Hughes for Governor.” John A. Merritt, leader of the Wadsworth forces, was there, but sat at an end of the big table far from the Governor, and took little interest in the proceedings. Not another prom inent organization Republican was present. The Governor's party was escorted to the fair grounds by the Kilty Band, of Hamilton. Great crowds lined the streets, and in the grounds the police had to keep the surging mass from the carriages. The Governor went on the track at the end of his address, and was kept busy for an hour shaking hands. Contrary to rumor, the horse« men did not refuse to race when the Governor was in the grounds, but did so gladly after he took a front seat in the grandstand, from which he saw the races. He left Lockport early this evening. i The Governor was wearing a tag when he reached here from Buffalo, having, as at Watery town yesterday, reached another city on “tal, day.” The final heat of a race had just beem run off when the Governor was escorted to the, judges’ stand. Many of the horsenien remained; in the crowd on the track or in the to hear him speak. The applause was some} what perfunctory when the Governor was intro. duced, but the audience warmed up rapidly and@ the speech was interrupted frequently bw laughter, cheers and applause. His speech was along the same lines as others, recently delivered at county fairs. He did no¥ refer directly to the abolition of racetrack gam bling. Declaring that a short cut to needed re forms is generally a short cut on the public, the Governor asserted that the Interests of farmers, merchants, wage earners and all’ workers gone erally are so allied that damage to one is dam= age to all. “There are some,” sald the Governer, “wha, would cure the railroad problem by an arbitrary reduction of the rate of fare, regardless of whether that rate was just or unjust, whether it would hurt business cr help business, whethew it would permit the discharge of a public obliw, gation or interfere with it. They would take pair of shears and a tariff table and the is done, and the community can suffer unt! gets rational.” The Governor reaffirmed his belief in party government, but said the highest duty of the party was to give to the people what they were entitled to receive. HUGHES FEELING GROWS, Woodruff Says Only “Organized Movement” Thus Far Is for Him. State Chairman Woodruff, who started for his camp in the Adirondacks last night, said that there was no organized opposition to the re ‘nomination of Governor Hughes. “The only ‘organized movement’ of any sert that I have discovered as yet,” said he, “is the one in favor of the renomination of the Gov ernor. His friends here and there throughout the state are organizing in his behalf and doubts less will’ be heard from in convention. There are other candidates, who will be supported by their own localities, but I hardly think that you could call these an organized movement against the Governor.” “Is there any significance in the fact that ex Governor Black is out for Hughes?” “None that I see,” said Mr. Woodruff. “If the delegates from Rensselaer want the Governor renominated they have takex ts Ratural method to bring it about.” “What about taking a test vote in Brooklyn, the same as will be done in nine districts in Manhattan, on primary day™ “Y think such a vote will be taken in two dis. tricts, the 6th and the 21st.

The Republican strength in both is far below that in most of the other districts. Neither is considered as representing fairly the sentiment of Kings County on the question of renominating the Governor. The state chairman said that the state com mittee would meet at the United States Hotel in Saratoga on Saturday night, September 12, and that he expected to go to Saratoga on Sat urday in time for the meeting.

General Stewart I. Woodford, who nominated Governor Hughes for the Presidency at Chicago, called on Mr. Woodruff yesterday and told the chairman that unless Governor Hughes was re nominated New York State would be lost to the Republicans. Mr. Woodford said that President Roosevelt voiced his sentiments exactly when he declared that the renomipation of Governor Hughes was a necessity.

{By Telegraph to The Tribune.] Troy, N. Y.. Sept. 4 —Ex-Governor rrank Rilack will head the delegation from Rensselaer County to the Republican State Convention in Saratoga, and the delegation will be unanimous ly in favor of the renomination of Governor Hughes. The county convention for the elec tion of delegates will be held to-morrow. Ex Goverser Black, in a letter to C. V. Collins, State Superintendent of Prisons, made public to-day by Mr. Collins, expressed the opinion that Governor Hughes should be renominated. The ietter was in reply to one sent to Mr. Black at Freedom, N. H., asking if he would act as chair man of the Rensselaer delegates. According to Superintendent Collins, the ex-Governor replied that he would not only be pleased to head the delegation but in his judgment Governor Hughes should be renominated.

Superintendent Cellins, whe is the leader of the Republican party in this county, a few days prior to the meeting of the state committee made a canvass of the entire county through leaders in the different towns, and without ex ception they reported the sentiment in the rural districts as in favor of the Governor. In dis cussing the situation to-night Superintendent Collins said that the Sunday following the Re publican State Convention would find practically every pulpit in the state ready to criticise the result in case the convention turned down the

Governor. “Without regard to my personal feeiings.” he said, “I think Hughes is the logical candidate. What candidate have they if they reject Hughes? If they have one why don't they produce him? They say there are fifteen thou sand racing votes against him. but they forget the one hundred and twenty thousand Republi «ane in the state who vote only in Presidential

years.”

Rensselaer County, he estimated, will give Hughes a plurality of three thousand. If Hughes was not renominated he said there was doubt if the national ticket would receive the vote of the state. Ninety per cent of the voters made no fight at the caucuses, but voted, 2nd if the nominee did net suit them they cut him.

“If Hughes is not renominated this indepen deni wote will knife the entire Republican Ex;Goverpor Black made the principal argu ment at 2a joint legislative meeting against the Agnew-Hart anti-racetrack gambling bilis when they were pending before the Legislature. ticket,” he ended BOOM FOR SENATOR WALLACE. Friends Want Him to Run for Lieutenant Governor. By Teiegraph to The Tribune. Buffalo, Sept. 4.—A boom for State Senator Wiil fam C. Wallace gs Republican candidate for Lileu tenant Governor was launched to-day at the Niag sara County fair, where Governor Hughes spoke. Senator Wallace would have nothing te say other than that hie “would not be displeased by such a nomination.”

Senator Wallace was elected at a special elec tion called to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Stanislaus P. Franchot. He was elected on the anti-racetrack bill issue, and Governor Hughes virtually took the stump for him. WANT ELY FOR GOVERNOR. Lockport, N. Y..

WEST VIRGINIA CONTEST. National Executive Commiltce Prac tically Decides Against Swisher. At an informal meeting of the executive com mittee of the Republican National Committee yes terday it was practically decided, in the West Vir ginia controversy, that the sub-committee should report to the nationsl committee that In its judg ment direction should be given to the Swisher forces to give permission to the Lincoln Republi cans to place their electors and Congressional can didates on the Scherr ticket. The sub-committee consists of National Com mitteemen Ward, Du Pont and Brooker. 8. C. Scherr is the candidate for Governor of the Lin coln Republican party. The Scherr people asked that the electors and Congressional candidates on the regular Republican ticket be placed on the Scherr ticket. C. A. Swisher, candidate for Governor on the regular Republican ticket, was at headquarters and appeared before the committee. Afier the committee’ had adjourned Mr. W2rd announced that no decision would be given out until Wednes day. At the meeting the general situation was dis cussed. These present were Senafor Boies Pen rose, of Pennsylvania; Edwin C. Duncan, of North Carelina; Charles F. Brooker, of Connecticut; T. Coleman Du Pont, of Delaware, and William L. Ward. of New York. Senator Penrose said the meeting was only preliminary to a formal con ference next week, when Chairman Hitchcock re turns from the West. The Senator said that Penn sylvania wosld roll up the largest majority for Taft and Shérman of all the states in the country. Edward C. Duncan, of North Carolina, said: “While some of our Democratic friends may scoff at the idea, North Carolina is rapidly becoming a doubtful state. Our state convention, held on Au gust 26, was one of the greatest Republican gather ings ever seen in the South. We nominated a strong ticket, headed by J. Elwood Cox as the can didate for Governor. Mr. Cox is a representative business man, popular among all classes. We ex pect to elect three or four members of the House in North Carolina. It is our purpose to pui up a whirlwind campaign. There is a sirong desire among our people to hear James S. Sherman, the Vice-Presidential candidate. One of the objects of my visit here is to make arrangements for Mr. Sherman to make at least one speech in North Carolina during the campaign. We would like also to have Leslie M. Shaw, the former Secretary of the Treasury, and others equally as prominent.” Ex-Senator John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, who called at Republican national headquarters yester day, said that the Republicans would carry Ne braska. He said that what appeared to be apathy was nothing more nor less than contentment with the present administration of affairs by the Re publicans. The Vice-President's Campaign Trip Dis cussed at Indiananolis.

Indianapolis, Sept. 4.—Chairman Hitchcock of the Republican National Commitiee arrived here at 5 p. m. for a conference with Vice-President Fairbanks. He spent about an hour at Mr. Fair bank's home, and then started for Detroit, where he will take the boat to-morrow morning for Middle Bass Island for a conference with Mr. Taft.

The principal question discussed by Mr. Hitch cock and Mr. Fairbanks was the tour of the coun try which the Vice-President is to make under the auspices of the national committee. It is ex pected that his speaking trip will’ cover practically all the country, and he will speak especially in the territory where he made addresses four years ago. The speakers’ bureau of the natienal commit tee is considering the question of sending a num ber of prominent speakers with Mr. Fairbanks and giving them a special train or car for an ex tended “tfip. It has not been determined to adopt this plan, but the guestion will be taken up by Mr. Hitchcock as soon as he reaches New York. 1f made, the trip wiil begin soon after October 1 and will occupy two weeks or more. Merchants All Over the Country See Re nublican Sweep. This month has started off with a rush of buyers to New York, especially from the South, and whole sale merchants say the orders indicate a feeling of confidence in the election of the Repuhlican Presi dential ticket and a continuance of these policies that have given prosperity in the past. John Niles, who sent out about fifty thousand Taft envelopes and circulars asking the opinion of. his customers on the election, is elated at the returns he is re ceiving. Yesterday Mr. Niles said:

“I sent this Taft literature all over the country, not knowing the politics of those I addressed, but knowing it would reach business men. I asked for replies giving opinions on the outlook. The answers have been in excess of my most sanguine expecta tions. and I find that less than 1 per cent of them are favorable to the election of Bryan. The Taft answers are enthusiastic over the outlook for the election of the Republican ticket, and this sentiment is not confined to the Bast and North, but to the South. I am surprised to find so many people in Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi, Virginia and Georgia favorable to Taft. “I should iike to give these letters out, but the replies are confidential and I do not feel at liberty to do so. The Bryan replies are nearly all heaped with abuse and advise me to ‘cut out’ millinery and politics, but I believe Taft's election will insure prosperous times, and that is what every merchant wante

Republicans Decide at Conference to Oppose Fis Leadership at Primaries. Republicans dissatisfied with the leadership of Michael J. Dady in the 1st Assembly District, Brooklyn, held a conference last night, at which it wus decided to oppose him at the coming primaries.

The movement is headed by Dr. W. H, Snyder, of No. 26 Schermerhorn street. Associated with him are Henry Batterman, Percy 8. Dudley, Guy Duval, Maurice Ely, Thornton Gerris, Gates D. Fahn, Dr. W. M.

A statement was Issued after the conference, in which Dady's methods were criticised, and D. H. Ralston, the executive member, was blamed for his position on matters that came up in the Legis lature while he was a representative from the 1st District. It was stated that Colonel Dady spends eleven months of the year in Cuba and allows the district to run itself, 10, ATiTE:api VW 100 ATioune, Detroit, Sept. 4.—After State Audittor J. B.

MACK ON MONEY HUNT SEES RICHES IN WEST. Democratic Chairman Off for Chi cago in Search of Funds. Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, started last night for Buf falo and Chicago on the 9:34 o'clock train over the New York Central, in search of meney—more money! Chairman Mack has the machine all nicely or ganized, with committees galore. Every one in the Democratic camp says it is a good year, gd that the Republicans are on the run. The Democratic machine is ready to start, but it cannot start with out more money. Advertising contracts binding Republican daily newspapers in various states to carry Bryan advertising matter have been tenia tively entered info, but are not being executed be cause there is no money. Chairman Mack has been here two or three weeks, seeing all the Wall Street Democrats who would see him, pointing with enthusiasm to the rehabilitation of Democracy and asking for con tributions. The Wall Street Democrats do not “loosen up,” and Mr. Mack has gone West to tell the brethren about” it. The national committe2 will assemble in Chicago on Monday morning, and try to plan ways and means for financing the cam paign. The Democrats have a fine appearing finance committee, but it seems that it is not a “giving up” kind of finance committee. Heading the list is Senator William A. Clark, of Montana, who has a lot of money in mines and railroads. Others on the committee are Lewis Nixon, the shipbuilder; Francis G. Newlands. of Nevada, who owns gold mines in his own state; Controller Martin H. Glynn of this state, who handles lots of state money, but cannot turn .it over for the sake of the cause; George Fred Williams, of Massachu setts, who Is willing to give advice in lieu of dol lars, and D. J. Campana, of Michigan. All of these worthy committcemen seem to be remarkably backward about coming forward, and Mr. Mack is becoming desperate. He will read the riot act to the national comfpities on Monday and demand that the commitiea raise the sinews of war. Senator Culberson, chairman of the advisory committee; John W. Tomlinson, the chief organizer, and Josephus Daniels, chief of the publicity, bureau, are all off for Chicago on a ‘bone hunt.” Tentative contracts with magazines and news papers were placed with regular advertising agents. In some cases the copy was in the offices, but when the agents failed to receive tne right sort of assurances about the payment of the bills there was ‘‘nothing doing” Some of the magazine advertisements carried 2 blank coupon, similar to those following the last page in the annual reporis of old ladies’ home societies, where the reader is furnished a blank form for legally turning over his.fortune to sweet charity. When Chairman Mack was asked about the finan cial stringency which had halted his plans, he said: “We will put through all those advertising plans.” And then an idea struck him. “How are the other fellows across the park get ting along for money?’ he asked. There was th2 usual conference vesterday, those present being Willard Saulsbury, of Delaware; Jo siah Quincy, of Massachusets; James Kerr, of Pennsylvania; James Martin and Alexander Troup, of Connecticut; Homer 8. Cummings, of Connecti cut; George V. Greene, of Rhode Island; John Quinn and John B. Stanchfield, of New York; R. M. Johnston, of Texas; Josephus Daniels, of North Carolina, and John W. Tomlinson, of Alabama. The conference continued for more than two hours, during which the situation in each state was discussed at length. After it was over Mr. Mack said he was convinced, from the optimistic tcne sounded by those prefent, that the East could no longer be described as the enemy's country, and that not only was New York a debatable state, but Connecticut. Rhode Island, New Jersey and Dela ware were in the same category. Chairman Mack was particularly pleased over the prospects for a Bryan victory in New York State. Josiah Quincy, speaking of the condition of things political in Massachusetts, said: “While I cannot at this time hold out-assurance that the national ticket will carry my state, I am convinced Mr. Bryan will poll a very large vote.” Willard Saulsbury, of Delaware, said: “The fight in Delaware is confined largely to local issues. The state {s good fighting ground, and with an or ganized effort on the pari of the state and na tional committees the Democratic ticket will win.” R. M. Johnston, of Texas, predicted a victory for Bryan in that state py no less than 200,000. James Kerr, of Pennsylvania, began to think luridly, but caught himself in time, and refrained from predicting that Bryan would carry the Key stone State. He said the Republicans would be “surprised” there. Chairman Mack said goodby to ex-Judge Hud speth, the Eastern manager, and teld him and his colleagues in the Eastern bureau that they were not here for ornamental purposes. Mr. Hudspeth and his associates will meet every Tuesday to talk over things. Chairman Mack will be away till September 16, when Mr. Bryar comes to town to make some speeches.

STRONG SENTIMENT FOR SULZER. Until Murphy Looms Up, and Then Govern orship Possibility Fades Away. Representative William Sulzer, whose many friends rejoice in the assumption that he looks more and more like Henry Clay as the years flit by, is willing to be drafted by the Democrats as their candidate for Governor. He was “willing” two years ago, when the party named Hearst, and two years befcre that, when Herrick was chosen. Mr. Sulzer's many admirers are compelled to admit that he has stood out on the speedway these many years, waiting for the Governorship auto to run him down-—all in vain. But he is one of the origi nal Bryan men, and this is the year of all years when he would look well on the political banner with Mr. Bryan, he thinks.

“While T am not an avowed candidate,” said he yesterday at Tammany Hall, referring to the Gov ernorship, “I do not hesitate to declare that there is a very pronounced sentiment in favor of the nomination of your humble servant. It is not my intention, however, to obtrude myself to the extent of precipitating a contest on the floor of the con ven''—

Just then Charles Murphy, the boss of Tam many, shot into the room, and Mr. Sulzer shut up like an umbrella. When Mr. Murphy was told that there was a Governorship possibility present he rose and looked at every one, and then remarked that he didn't see any.

Ac cording to the order, Clarke claims the money as the price of his services in trying to procure the nomination for the Presidency of Mr. Chanler. William F. Manning employed him. Clarence J.

Detroit, Sepi. 4 —Congressman Bdwin Denby, of this city, whe has just returned from Panama, says that he was misquoted In dispatches from Middle Bass Island last Monday. “I did not say,” he said to-day, “as I have been quoted, that fifteen years would be required te complete the Panama Canal, but that the estimates are that the canal will be comnletéd in 1815."

QUIGG FLEMING'S COMPLIMENTS Olcoit’s Secretary Sends Tart Reply to Anti-Mack Leiter. The letter to John J. Fleming, private secre tary to Representative J. Van Vechten Olcott, from Lemuel E. Quigg, which the latter read in person from the platform of the Conservative Republican Ciub in the fight for the Republican leadership in the 15th Assembly District on Thursday night, was received by Mr. Fleming yes terday The following tart reply was sent by Mr. Fleming last night: Subsequent to its publication by you I received your communication of the 3d inst. I have iA fully examined your labored explanation a very simple statement. In go far as your elabe ration dees not confirm my statements it sés an issue of veracity between you and me from which 1 do not shrink. I reiterale that every word in my letter is cbrrect. On the other hand, your answer is so full of misstatements and false implications that any discussion of the facts is absolutely precluded. Although it has been known by those en the in side that Mr. Quigg has been Interesting himself actively in the fight of Leslie 8. Lockhart to wrest the leadership of the 15th District from Harry W. Mack, the latter's friends were greatly surprised that Mr. Quigg should come out openly at a meeting of the Conservative Club, the Lock hart organization, as the backer of the movement against Mack. It is believed that the open show ing of his hand by Mr. Quigg will cost the anti Mack ticket hundreds of votes among those who do not wish the district returned to the Quigg domination. Mr. Quigg read a letter from Mr. Fleming re garding the attempts of Quigg and other friends of Lockhart to get Representative Olcott, whose district includes all of the 15th Assembly District, to take a neutral stand. The letter as published yesterday did not contain several sentences which Mr. Fleming regards as essential to the clear un derstanding eof the communication. One of them was:

Ile (Mr. Olcott) feels that it is deplorable that the Republicans throughout the district cannot har monize in this important year in order properly to conserve the best interests of the candidates on the national ticket; that it does not seem possible to harmonize the various factions of the Republicans, although even now he is willing to do Lis share toward that end.

Then Mr. Fleming went on to say that Mr. Mack had pledged to Representative Olcott his support for renomination, and that the Lockhart people had not denied a report that if they won they would support some other candidate. He added this, which was omitted from the published letter yestcr day:

Aside. however. from these selfish considerations which your proposition made it necessary to dis cuss, Mr. Olcott feels that the present organization has shown by its success at the elections .that it has the confidence of the people of the district, and is, therefore, entitled to his support. I therefore take the liberty of stating that, in my opinion, and after considering our proposition with due delibera tion, and because of my relations with Mr. Olcott as his private secretary for many years, this is the only honorable position that he can take in *he matter. As to the question of the result of the pri mary election, from the canvass that has been made and the many promises of support given to Mr. Olcott by his numerous friends throughout the district, I feel confident that the Mack ticket will be successful, notwithstanding the oppositien of ihe two other factions.

Mr. Quigg in his letter to Mr. Fleming said among cther things’ 1 told you that Mr. Olcott had done himself a great deal of harm by his unnecessary meddling while 2a member of Congress in the family quar rels of the district, and that now, by putting his money and his personality at Mr. Mack's disposal and by letting it he falsely represented that Lis interesis were involved with Mack, thereby ob scuring the real question in the primary contest, he was guilty of conduct which hosts of Repub licans friendly to Olcott greatly deplored; that it looked like courting the fate of a factionist. Mr. Quigg wound up by saying: Even now I shall assume that he is not re sponsible for your letter to me, and that he (Olcott) is the same gentleman to whom T have heretofore given my support and my vote and to whom I hope to give them again. Regarding Mr. Quigg's letter all that Mr. Flem ing cared to say last night was: “It is laughable of Mr. Quigg, above all men, to raise a question of veracity between nimself and any one else.” The Conservative Republican Club announced last night that several of Mr. Mack's election district captains, workers and members of his various committees had deserted him. Letters were given out frcm five of these men announcing this de termination. SPECIAL SESSION CALLED. Governor Hanly Acts in Defiance of Indiana State Leaders. 1By Telegrarh to The Tribune. Indianapolis, Sept. 4.—Governor Hanly has de fied the Indiana Republican leaders by calling a special session of the Legislature to meet on September 18 to consider the “night rider” sit uation and the passage of a local option law, with this county as a unit. At a conference with the leaders‘'last night and te-day all of them opposed calling the session, giving as a reason that it would have the Legislature in session during the campaign, would hamper the gpeakers on state issues and bring about differ ences that might result in the loss of the state.

The Republicans fear that the Governor can not control the Legislature, as many members oppose local option, and that the Democrats will make capita! out of the friction engendered. The Governor issued a statement regarding the “night rider” situation in part as follows: Many threatening letters are again being re ceived warning tobacco growers not te cut their crops at peril of the destruction of crep and barns by fire. The conditions during the last vear, one-third of the state being in anarchy, with neither life nor property being secure. the conditions along the Ohio River in ©hio, where in the last six months the state has been compelled to maintain a military patrol at cost of $40,000, and the threats now being made to repeat these crimes in Indiana impel me to the action I have taken; in the hope that the General Assembly ‘will give such executive authority and place such funds at executive disposal as shall be necessary to meet what may become at any moment a keen situation.

PRIEST PRODS HUDSON CANDIDATE. Father MacErlain, of Jersey City, Attacks Former Brewerv Collector. The Rev. Father J. C, MacBEriain, rector of the Church of the Sacred Heart, in Greenville, Jersey City, yesterday, made a stalemnent to the press, in which he attacked the candidacy of James J. Kelly, who will be the Democratic nominee for Sheriff of Hudson County, because he was until recently a brewery collector, and because af his present liberal attitude toward the liquor interests. The priest tavers Thomas Connelly, the Repub lican candidate, whe stands on a platform which demands that no change be made in the Bishops’ law. 2 Father MacErlain said that the Bishops’ law will be the issue in this campaign, and charged the saloonkeepers with being carrupt in pelities, de claring it is an insult to ask the people of Hudson County to vote for an ex-brewery collector for Sheriff. He also took a whack at “Bob” Davis, Democratic leader in Hudson County, by denounc ing bossism. A rather good story is told of Lord Aberdeen, a former Governor General of Canada and a well known peer. While walking along a country road in Scotland he saw a sailor about to inflict a blow on his better half.

Bryan made two avowedly non-political spegehes to his home folks to-day. The first was at the state fair grounds, the occasion being the dedication of the new audl torium. and the second was at the Tabatha Home, near Fairview, where a new building was dedi cated as a hospital for the aged. In his fair grounds speech he was introduced by Governor Sheldon, who was a captain in Mr. Bryan's regi ment in the Spanish-American War. Mr. Bryan said that among the candidates for President this year he was the “only man with a war rgcor Most of the officers of his regiment, like Governor Sheldon, he said, were Republicans, though the majority of the enlisted men were Democrats.

Addressing himself to the farmers, he sald in part: My friends, we are more stingy in making the appropriations for the farmer than for any other large class of our people. Why, it was a_cen tury after our government was organized, or about that, before we succeeded in getting a de partmen. of agriculture established. We are the greatest agricultural country in the world, and agriculture is the greatest indusfry in our goun try, ahd’ yet almost a hundred years elapsed be fore the farmer got a seat around the President's council chamber. How backward we have been in recognizing the farmer's place in our govern ment and among our institutions! What will you think when I: tell you that for every dollar we spend on the partment of Agriculture we spend more than $25 on the army and navy. More than $25 spent in getting ready for wars we ought never to have than we spend on agri culture!

1 think I am safe in saying that in no other department of learning has there been so much progress as in that department which relates to agriculture. I am glad to encourage the agri cultural college. Why, for years it has been deemed a part of the duty.qf the state to train lawyers through law schools established by the government And we have trained doctors through schools connected with our state imnsti tutions, but, my friends, we are just beginning to learn that the training of the farmer is just as important as the training of the doctor or the lawyer. We will read the roll of United States Senators and will find only two farmers among them. Run down the list of Congressmen and vou will find only few farmers among them. The discrimination that has been going on against the farmer has tended to drive His peg: ple from the farm to the town. Our fe eral taxation is almost all collected through methods that bear upon consumption, and when we tax consumption instead of possession we make the poor man pay more than his share and the rich man less than his share, and there has hereto fore been a constant drain of the farms In the matter of collecting taxes, and when the taxes are appropriated and expended the money is nearly all spent in the cities and very little of it upon the farms. Read the amount spent on ships, and then figure, if you can, what portion of that gets to the farmer! Take up the other large ap propiiations, and with the exception of pensions “do not know of any large appropriation in which the farmer has anything like his share in proportion to his rniumber. Mr. Brvan received many hundreds of persons to-day, ialked into a phonograph, discussed poli tics and sandwiched in same work in his office. Perhaps the most important visitor was Herman Ridder, of.New-Xork. Mr. Ridder has travelled ex tensively over the United States since the Denver convention, and laid before the Presidential candl date statistics tending to show that all of the so called gold and Cleveland Democrats of any na tional prominence are this year supporting Mr. Bryan. He thought the real issue of the present campalgn was the tariff guestion, and prophesied that the Democratic national ticket would be elected this fall. CRITICISES MR. PARSONS. Frank Hendrick, at a meeting of the Roosevelt Republican Club of the ist Assembly District, at No. 268 Hudson street, last night, attacked Herbert Parsons, president of the Republican County Com mittee. There was a large number of Republicans from the district present. The meeting indorsed the candidacy eof Taft and Sherman and vated unanimously in favor of the renomination of Gov ernor Hughes. Mr. Hendrick peinted out that Bryan was a dan gerous enemy to the welfare of the United States. Among other things he said: The coming election is. a national election, and in preparation for it it behooves every citizen ta think Paticnally. At a time when those who never vete any other local ticket than the Democratic reso lutely abandon the national nominees of that party, it is little to ask of local Republican leaders that they extend their vision beyond the pelitics of New York Couniy. Though Governor Hughes may not be elected against the oppesition of erganization Reputlicaus at the polls, it is certain that if he is not nomir.ated Mr. Taft will lose New York State. No other circumstance can jeopardize the success of Taft In New York. On the other hand, no Re publican can be elected in.New York but Charles E. Hugles. The attempt to base the appeal of the Republican party in the national election upon the judgment in the coming pr.maries of a fraction of Republicans among those wha enrolled as an ineciaent ef regis tration preliminary to voting for the Hearst Par<ons combination ticket last year is an attack upon the Republican national ticket which should be resented by thase who have the welfare of the nation at heart. This is a time when stupidity can no longer be allowed to remain sanctified or mendacity com placent. The man who needs to ask anvbedy else whether Hughes is necessary te the Repub lican party in this clection should take to a ey clone cellar on Election Day and never again submit his name te su veted upon by unenrolled Republicans, new voters, independents and inde pendent Democrats. In the 29th Assembly District the enrolment is 2.500, but Governor Hughes, in 1906 received a majority of 4,000, while the next year. with the Hearst indorsement, the Parsons leader. Wells, lost the district by abeut 1,200 for Municipal Court judges out of the total registration of less than 10,000. More than half the voters were moved by an error af Chairman Parsons. It is safe to say that a Parsons error in this election would lose 7,500 votes to the Republican state ticket in the 29th Assembly District alone.

Memphis, Sept. 4 —Emuity between two fishermen, having its origin several years ago, when, it is al leged, the wife of one deserted him for the other, culminated in the killing of the latter's son in mid stream of the Mississippi River near here last night. S. L. Smith, one of the fishermen, asserts that he and his son were returning shortly after ‘nightfall in a motor boat from tending their lines, and en countered P. I. Nickols, his enemy, in skiff.

New York TO GET JOB THE ISSUE Theme of Socialist Candidates’ Rati fication Speech. Every seat in Cooper Union was filled last night at 8 o'clock when Robert Hunter, as temporary chairman, called to crder an audience gathered to ratify the Socialist party's candidates for Gov ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General and the Assemblyman from the Sth Assembly District. Outside speakers addressed a large overflow meet ing. The speakers scheduled to address the meeting were Joshua Wanhope, who hopes to be elected Governor if he can get enough votes: Gustave A. Strebel, the candidate for Lieutenant Governor; H. 1. Slobodin, the party's nominee for the Attorney Generaiship; Robert Hunter, the Assembly can didate, and Edward F. Cassidy, the vice-president of “Riz Six.” the permanent chafrman of the meeting. Mr. Hunter said they didn't consider the women any better or any worse than the men in the or ganization, but as members of it the womeén wera in every way equal with the men. Mr. Hunter compared the twc cid parties to a combination of porch climbers, and insisted they had erganized porch climbers’ union. Not being able to get on the inside of either ef the two eld unions, the Hearstites, be thought, had drganized an inde pendent porch climbers’ union of their own. Ho closed by saying that he did not think it was really right to set a thief to catch another of his kind, but to get an honest man to do the work. In tha early days of the West, he said, the citizens had found it necessary to get up vigilance committees. Some day the country, he believed, would organize a national vigilance committee. At this peint Mr. Cassidy came in. He aroused his audience to frenzy when he referred to what he called the childish attempt of organized labor to break into politics. He respected Gompers, he said, because of his position, but if he went te the pells on Election Day and voted for the Demecrats, knowing the party's “black record om the laber movement, he would deserve to have the word scab’ branded op his brow. He said that when the laboring men went into pelitics it weuld be as a workingmen's movement, the same as their brothers in France and Germany had deme. Mr. Strebel referred to China and other Oriental countries as results of individualism. When ha mentioned Debs there was an outburst of applause that lasted several minutes. Joshua Wanhope. the candidate for Gewverner, was cheered four miputes when he arese to speak. He declared that the principal issue of the day was getting a. job, or “keeping the one they had.” He said he was after Governor Hughes's “job.” He said that the great question of the day was not gambling, the trusts or the tariff, but getting jobs. “NIGHT RIDER” REGULATIONS.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SATUR

MOROCCAN SQUABBLE MOROCCAN SQUABBLE IRRITATION INCREASES. IRRITATION INCREASES. Germany's Reported Attitude—The Powers Awaiting Note. Berlin, Sept. 4—The “Frankfurter Zeitung” publishes further details concerning the conver sation last night at the Foreign Office between Count Berckheim, counsellor of the French Em bassy. and Herr Stemrich, Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Count Berckheim, according to the newspaper, expressed the desire that an agreement should be reached by the powers signatory to the Algeciras convention relative to the guarantees to be required from Mulai Bafiz. He did not, however, define all the guarantees which would be demanded, saying that these would be form in a Franco Spanish note which would soon. Herr Stemrich explained that Germany would awalt the arrival of the note, and was ready to work in a friendly way toward an agreement. Count Berckheim responded that that was all France could ask. arrive The “Frankfurter Zeitung” adds: “It is un derstood that Muilal Hafig intends to announce officially to the diplomatic corps at Tangier his sccession to the Moroccan throne.” The French policy in Morocco has been inter preted in this city as designed gently to manceuvre Germany out of any direct part in Moroccan affairs, with the ultimate purpose, supported by Great Britain, of acquiring that paramount position which was the object of France previous to the Algeciras conference. The French aims are regarded to-day as being precisely what they were before Germany brought about this conference, and they come, therefore, into conflict with the present deter mination of Germany, which is based on the views held to previous to the Algeciras confer ence—namely, the independence of Morocco po litically and commercially, with mo superior po sition for France or any other power. Germany declines to recognize the theory of the French Foreign Office that France and Spain. being the mandatories of the powers in Morocco, alone have the right to initiate sugges tions. In order to impress this view, the Ger man Foreign Office took opportunity to be the first in proposing the recognition of Mulal Haflg. Germany is not disposed to allow Mulaj Hafig to be compelled to take over large and indefi nite French pecuniary claims, the effect of which, at the outset of his reign, would be to reduce him to the position of a French vassal It happens that the autumn mancuvres of the German army In Alsace-Lorraine, territory taken from France, are being held at the time of the revival of the Moroccan controversy. FRENCH RESENTMENT. Denial of German Intimations— Terms of Note to Powers. Paris, Sept. 4—French official circles resent deeply the intimation conveyed in inspired com munications from Berlin to the effect that the rez]! purpose of France in delaying the recog nition of Mulal Hafig is to permit the republic to make in advance private arrangements for the protection of special French interests. The fnlinmine statement was zsuthorized to-day: Paris, Sept. 4—French official circies resent deeply the intimation conveyed in inspired com munications from Berlin to the effect that the rez] purpose of France in delaying the recog nition of Mulal Hafig is to permit the republic to make in advance private arrangements for the protection of special French interests. The following statement was authorized to-day: Such intimations may be categorically denied. We are conducting no private negotiations. Wheat we are doing is in the general interest of gall the powers. After Mulai Hafig is recognized we are confident that we shzll be able to take care of ourselves. The German attempt to make it appear that France some time ago sent a consular official like Dr. Vassel to Fez also is officially repudiat ed. It is explained that the man whom France sent to Fez was a native of Algeria, whose mis sion was simply to act as custodian of the valu gble French archives there He was in no sense consul like Dr. Vassel With reference to the German suggestion that France is trying to secure from Mulai Hafig gdvance indorsement of the loans made by French interests to Abd-el-Aziz, it is explained that the French craditors of Abd-el-Aziz nold his jewels as security and that the other loans were made by the Moroccan State Bank, in which Germany, iike the other powers, has a representative. France is still awaiting Spain's final approval of the terms of the joint note before communi cating it to the powers. It was learned to-day that in addition to the points enumerated in these dispatches yesterday the Franco-Spanish note to the powers regard ing Morocco will propose that Mulai Hafiz agree to reimburse the expenses occasioned by the international intervention at Casablanca and other Moroccan ports and the measures which had to be taken in consequence of this inter vention to maintain security and order. France has been informed that Great Britain has answered the German communication pro posing that Mulai Hafig be recognized, by saying that she will do nothing until she has received the Franco-Spanish note. Italy has acknowl edged the receipt of the German communication, but slso says she will make no reply until the Franco-Spanish note is received. The conviction prevails in official circles this afternoon that Germany's move has failed and that she will not alone go te the point of rec ognizing Mulai Hafig In advance of the other DoOwers TOOK POISON ON STEPS OF CHURCH.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, Sept. 4—Sir Vincent Corbett, the British Minister to Venezuela, arrived here yesterday on the steamer Commodore. The vessel was sent to the quarantine station, where she will remain uatil Saturday, as five days’ de tention is required of passengers from a plague port, It is reported here that the Venezuelan Consul applied unsuccessfully to the Governor of Trinidad to prevent ‘he landing at Port of Spain of General Nicholas Rolando, the Venezuelan revolutionist, and it is reported that Sir Vincent has come here to induce the Governor to effect what the consul failed to accomplish. Another report says that the British Minister will make representations toward the reimposition of restrictive regulations concerning exports of arms. It is alse rumered that the British govern ment intends to take up the claims of the English syndicate, whose salt and match concessions in Venezuela were annulled by President Castro. London, Sept. 4—The Foreign Office has received no recent communication from Sir Vincent Corbett, and it is not officially known here that the minister has left Venezuela. The British government has de cided not to take up the claims of the syndicate in terested in the salt and match concessions, and it is not believed that Sir Vincent is concerning himse.. with those matters. The only dispute Great Britain has with Venezuela relates to a duty of 30 per cent collected by Venezuela on goods imported from the West Indies. There has been no further com munication among the powers regarding the dis pute between Holland and Venezuela. Wishes Officers and Men Good Fortune in Task Reserved for Them.

Amsterdam, Sept. 4—Queen Wilhelmina has sent through the Minister of Marine the following tela gram to the Netherlands cruiser Friesland, which sailed yesterday for the Caribbean: In view of the circumstances under which the Friesland is starting for the West Indies, her majesiy hopes that you—both officers and men— may have good fortune in the task reserved for the warship which you man. The Netherlands Foreign Office has no knowledge of mediation suggested by Great Britain for a set tlement of the dispute between the Dutch govern ment and Venezuela. Holy Synod Warns Believers Against Honorine His Birthdav. St. Petersburg, Sept 4.—The Holy Synod has ad dressed an appeal to all believers not to take part in the celebrations next Wednesday in honor of Count Leo Tolstoy's birthday. The encyclical says: Toistoy denied the Saviour. Since 1801 he has ranked among the pagans. Believers must ab stain in honoring such a man in order to save their sculs from the judgment of God. The encyclical will be read from all pulpits next Sunday and for several Sundays thereafter. The *“Novoe Vremya” in a leading article on the encyclical says: The shade of the Spanish Inquisition is seeking to darken one of the most precious holidays of Russian ecivilization—the birthday of Russia's greatest writer. Good taste shouid have prevented the Holy Synod from anathematizing Tolstoy again at the grave's threshold. Without sharing Tol stoy’s theological views, all the Russian orthodox people, educated and uneducated, have the full right and duty to honor Tolstoy, and it would be ungraterul and ignoble to abstain from doing so. Every fervent member of the Orthodox Church believes the judgment of God will not be guided id encyclicals breathing the spirit of the Dark oes. CRIPPLING RUSSIAN UNIVERSITIES. Many Professors Will Refuse to Renounce Constitutional Democratic Ideas. St. Petersburg. Sept. 4.—The edict that professors and instructors in imperial untversities and schools who are members of the Constitutional Democratic or other illegal parties must either withdraw from these parties or resign their posts, threatens to crip ple the faculty of the University of St Petersburg. The rector and the vice-rector of the university, the deans of four departments and a number of the leading professors were Constitutional Democratic candidates for electors at the last elections. It is probable that over half the professors and tutors who are members of this party will resign. The University of Moscow, the largest in the empire, is in a similar plight. Tokio, Sept. 4.—Fire destroyed four thousand houses vesteray In Niigata, in Ichigo province, eighteen miles northwest of this city. Great desti tution and suffering are reported. The govern ment is rendering assistance to the inhabitants. Niigata is a city of more than forty thousand in habitants and is an open port on the west coast of Hondo. Its port is somewhat defective, but the city has a good trade inland, and lies near a num ber of petroleum wells. The government maintains a factory for small arms at Niigata. besides a prison. hospital and barracks.

Tangier, Sept. 4.—Native reports say that Hafig's army was dispersed in the action of August 20 and that Morocco City is at the mercy of Mtougui. Letters received here from Morocco City, dated August 27, report that Mtougui was completely crushed by Glaoui at Mtif, twenty kilometres from Morocco City. They say that Mtougui’s broiher, who commanded in the absence of the former, was made a prisoner.

CORBETT’S TRIP. QUEEN'S MESSAGE TO WARSHIP. ENCYCLICAL AGAINST TOLSTOY. FOUR THOUSAND HOUSES BURNED. MTOUGU! OR GLAOQUI? NOTES OF FOREIGN NEWS. NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5. 1908. WRIGHT FLIES AGAIN WRIGHT FLIES AGAIN [ARMY AND NAVY NEWS Successful Test of Aeroplane at Plans for Improving Naval Gunnery Successful Test of Aeroplane at Fort Muer. Washington, Sept. 4.—Orville Wright made another flight over the drill grounds at Fort Myer to-day, in which he encircled the field five times in addition to going its full length before landing directly in front of the tent which shel ters the machine. The time consumed in flight was four minutes and fifteen seconds, the aero plane being under the control of Mr. Wright throughout the flight. The wind was blowing at a rate of three and three-fifths miles an hour, and the speed of the aeroplane was esti mated at thirty-five miles an hour. Thirty feet from the ground was the greatest height at tained. It was evident that the machine was under better control to-day than yesterday. This morning Mr. Wright replaced the runner broken yesterday, and at o'clock this after noon the machine was taken to the northern end of the drill grounds, where the starting ap paratus is located. A preliminary test of the motor proving satisfactory, the wheels support ing the machine were taken from under it «nd Mr. Wright started the motor and took his piace in the aviator’s seat. At 5:55 o'clock Mr. Wright nodded to his as sistant, C. E. Taylor, and the machine was re leased. The weights suspended from a wooden tower gave it its first impetus, and as it glided along the fifty foot track its speed increased. Leaving the track the machine was turned up ward by the operator, and, dipping slightly, continued to rise as it made for the southern end of the field.

Recalling yesterday's mishap, Mr. Wright turned the machine when half way down the field, but with each succeeding lap he ap proached nearer to the tent. He made several sharp turns and at one point repeated the mis take made yesterday, but he was able to right the machine before descending too near the earth. One of the most impressive featyres of the seroplane’s performance was the ease with which it was brought to earth when half way around on the sixth lap.

“With each succeeding flight,” said Mr. Wright, after he landed, “I will secure a better control of the aeroplane. The difficulty I ex perience now is that I pull the levers too far. This is natural in view of the length of time since my last flights, but with a few more trials I am confident that I wil have perfect control of the planes.”

An enthusiastic crowd witnessed to-day’s flight. The parade ground was kept clear by cavalrymen and artillery stationed at Fort Myer. Mr. Wright was greatly pleased with the test, and sald that he would make a flight to-morrow morning if weather conditions were favorahla

SHORT FLIGHT BY WILBUR WRIGHT. Le Mans, Sept. 4—Taking advantage of a lull in the stormy weather, Wilbur Wright ventured out for a short flight in his aercplane to-day and circled the field with his usual skill. The official timers gave the distance traversed as two and one half kilometres, the height thirty-six feet and the time 2 min. 13 sec. The wind was blowing at the rata of twentv kilometres an hour. HOPEFUL OF AIRSHIPS. General Allen Says America Will Overtake Other Nations. Brigadier General James Allen, chief of the United States army signa] corps, who will depart for Marseilles to-day on the steamer St Paul, talked hopefully at the New Grand Hotel yester day concerning the fiture of military aeronautics in this country. His mission abroad is an official one. He will meet Commander Chapin. of the United States navy, who is naval attaché at the United States Embassy, Paris, and together they will attend the International Electrical Congress, to be held at Marseilles, September 14 to 19. “after finding out all we can of benefit to the army and navy at Marseilles,” said General Allen, «we will look into wireless telephony and aero nautics. The greatest aeronautical men fn the world will probably attend the international bal loon race at Merlin on October 14. I look forward to meeting these experts with great pleasure The army is much interested just at this time in every thing pertaining to aeronautics. We want to be leaders in military seronautics, and from what I can now see there appears reason to hope that we shall prove so. We have a splendid dirigible balloon now—small, of course, but our men will be able to show that the idea is a correct ome, and that will lead, I trust, to our getting several more dirigibles, much larger.

“The Wrights are plucky fellows. No one knows what they can do, but indications peint to fulfil ment by their aeropiane of all the government specifications, Orville Wright says he can meet them easily. And then Mr. Herring will test his aeroplane, beginning on September 13, so that it will be absolutely impossible for two of our cfficers who had expected to enter the international bal loon race at Serlin next month to get away. Cap~ tain Charles DeForest Chandler, who was &ap pointed alternate for J. C. McCoy, and Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm, winner of the international} trophy in Paris in 1906, will both have to remain at home because of the aeroplane tests at Fort Myer, Vir ginia.

“The signal corps of the United States army will ask Congress for a suitable appropriation next year to enable it to start at once to procure at least two dirigibles with the necessary plant for housing and operating; also to go on with the de velopment of other branches of military aeronau ties, such as a field captive balloon park, and the aeroplane. The Baldwin dirigible, Wright and Her ring aeroplanes will give a start, and their per formances furnish a foundation on which to ask for an appropriation which will enable the corps to overtaks European nations, which are now sO far ahead of us in military aeronautics.”

SHERIFF ON STAND. Says He Followed Ez-Senator Brackeit’s Interpretation of Law. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 4.—The Investigation into the charges brought against Sheriff Bradley, of Saratoga County, was brought to a close here to day with the examination of the Sheriff, who took the stand. He swore that before the race meeting began he consulted ex-State Senator Brackett, his counsel, and asked for an Interpretation of the Agnew-Hart law, by which he and his deputies might be guided. In accordance with this opinion, written by Mr. Brackett, the Sheriff instructed his deputies, he sald, to permit betting in accordance with the Bischoff decision, but to arrest every man who attempted to pass money, display odds or record bets. He repeatedly told his men, he testi fied, to overlook no violation of the law. In addi tion, he was at the track every day, patrolling the grounds, and worked in co-operation with the Pink ertons. He and his deputies, he sald, often inves tigated conditions that appeared suspicious, but did not discover a violation of the law.

Francis R. Hitchcock, of New York, president of the Saratoga association, testified that he believed the law was strictly enforced. He instructed the special police to enforce the law strictly in con formity to the decision of Justice Bischoff. He attended the races every day, but saw no bookmak ing, no runners, no recording of bets nor passing

i of money. RIIGSIAN SCHOGCLSHIP WRECKED. Viadivostok, Sept. 4.—The schooner Nadezhda manned by students of the local naval school, wa wrecked off Petropaviavsk to-day. No lives wer lost. GREAT SUFFERING IN KENT. Mszidstone, England, Sept. 4.—The excessively wet weather and high winds have ruined a large part of the Kentish hop crop. Thousands of hop pickers who came down from London are suffering acutely; the huts wherein they are quartered are flooded, and in many cases they are without sufficient food.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5. 1908. ARMY AND NAVY NEWS Plans for Improving Naval Gunnery. Washington, September 4. {From The Tribune Bureau.] PRACTICAL TARGET PRACTICE.—The next record target practice of the navy will be a step nearer the practical conditions for which those responsible for this work have been striving for a long time. The criticism now directed against the system of developing naval gunnery is that the present drills are only preliminary, on the theory that when the men are well versed in the details battle practice will be taken up. It has been point ed out to the Navy Department, however, that the crews of the ships are constantly shifting, and new men are required to go through the prelimi nary work without ever reaching the graduating class. The next target practice, therefore, will be at ranges which are not announced In advance, while some of the firing will be conducted while the ship is rolling, either naturally in a sea or by mechanical means. In this way the gunners will have an opportunity of firing under conditions which they might be called on to meet in war. As it is now, the conditions are favorable tc accuracy of marksmanship with heavy guns, and it is con sidered that it would be advantageous to increase the severity of the conditions surrounding the prac tice with as many difficuities as are reasonably possible, all with the idea of giving the gunners the opportunity of firing under most exacting circum stances.

SEARCHLIGHTS NEEDED.—Congress will prob ably be asked again at the next, session to ap propriate $500,000 for the purchase of searchlights to be used as a part of the equipment of the coast fortifications. Much work has been done in the Fw two or three years in the development of

i these aids to night operations of coast defence guns. Congress has not been willing, however, to appropriate the money which has been asked an nually, and at the last sersion of the $500,000 which was the amount of the item In the War Depart ment estimates only $210,000 was appropriated. This is being used in the acquisition of search lights of a type which has been approved, after much investigation and experimentation, by the chief of engineers, the chief of artillery and the chief of ordnance of the army, under whose com bined departments the equipment of the coast fortifications comes. It is necessary to have an efficient long range searchlight service in every district, and these searchlights must be so equipped that they can be controlled from one central! sta tion in the radius of fire commands.

i CANNED POTATOES FOR ARMY.—The mili tary authorities have added the canned potato to the list of articles provided for the subsistence of the army in the field. It will not be often that the vegetable in this form will be called for by the troops. Occasionally it may be needed in Alaska, where vegetables are difficult to obtain for a large part of the year. The canned potato has been tested by the army subsistence officers in that ter ritory, as well as in the Philippines, and a care ful observation was made of the keeping qualities of the potato and a record kept of the results of its issue under such conditions of climate as pre vail in Alaska and the tropics. The results are satisfactory to the experts. In time of war the canned potato will be welcome where the fresh vegetable is not obtainable, but for the most part

it is destined to be used in Alaska, and then only occasionally. SEA-GOING TUGS.—The Navy Department at the next session of Congress will renew its efforts to obtain additional sea-going tugs, which are much needed on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. These tugs, if authorized by Congress, may be built at navy yards, instead of by contract, al though the influences which are interested in the shipyards may operate to deprive the navy yards of this work. The need of sea-going tugs in the navy is illustrated especially in San Francisco Bay, where the Navy Department is building a coaling station, and where no tug sarvice is provided.

SURGEONS READY FOR SERVICE.—The sur geon general of the army has finally acquired a stock of reserve field supplies for the army medical department. This is the first opportunity the War Department has had of accumulating such a quan tity of medical and hospital supplies, to be used in times of emergency. Contracts were awarded re cently for $200,000 worth of material, and this has been delivered at the medical depots in Washington and St. Louis The a my medical department has been relieved of much embarrassment caused by the failure of Congress to provide for a field equip ment. The special apparatus and supplies for field medical equipment are not in the general market and cannot be improvised. To assemble them takes months. In view of the celerity of modern mili tary movements, a prudent government must pro vide them beforehand. A large reserve of medical supplies in store at San Francisco was destroyed in the burning of that city. The estimated value of the stores destroyed was $357,391 62, and the ap propriation to replace them was only $100,000. Those who have made a study of the situation have no hesitation in describing as one of the vital needs of the medical department in the future a year’s supply for an army of at least four times the actual strength of all such medicines, hospital furniture and stores as are not materially damaged by keeping, to be held constantly on hand in the medical supply depots. NAVY EXPLOSIVES IMPROVED.—The navy bureau of ordnance is doing some important work at the naval proving ground at Indian Head. on the Potomac. This consists In the reworking of smokeless powder which has been stored at In dian Head and for which Congress appropriated $150,000 during the last session. Some of the pow der is between six and eight years old, but it is thought that for about one-quarter of the original cost of manufacturs it can be made of use for the naval service. It“is stated by the experts in the bureau that the present methods of manufacture and purification have much improved the quality of the material out of which smokeless powder is made, and it is thought it will last now for ten or twelve years, but as the smokeless powder in

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1908. —p—_ A NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SATURD MILK DRIVERS STRIKE Inconvenience in Many Families— New Men Attacked. An uniocoked-for strike of the truck drivers of tie Bheflield Farme-Slawson-Decker Company at its snain depot, 57th street and Eleventh avenue, for recognition of a union of these truckmen, which took place early yesterday morning, left many families in Manhattan without their usuai daily supply. At the same time the truck drivers struck for a similar reason at the depot of the company ®t No. TI2 Pacific street, Brooklyn, and the strike #n both boroughs was attended by disturbances, ®ttacks on the men put in places of the strikers &nd cutting of the harnesses as soon as the new drivers appeared with the trucks. The strike in Manhattan affected the drivers of the heavy three-horse trucks which take the milk to the thirty-eight Manhattan branch depots of the company, and, according to the strikers, the branch depots were affected also. This was denied by the company, but a strike at the main depot would &ffect all the supplies for a time, in any case. As the company makes a specialty of supplying pasteurized milk, the babies suffered most in fami lies where the daily supply did not appear, and there was troudle at once. The strike also left the milk dealers short on milk in many places, and many mothers had to hustle around good deal before they could get any. The strikers belong to a recently organized local ©f the United Teamsters of America. an indepen dent national organization. Strikes of this union when they take place locally are generally ordered by the New York District Council of the United Teamsters, but the officers seemed to Know little ebout the strike. The strikers themselves said that several! hundred were out, but Edwin Gould, chair man of the district council, would not give figures. He said he would know better to-day.

“International President Sheridan is coming here to take charge of the strike,” he said. “The rec ognition of the union is demanded. and, besides, the union wants $16 a week for the delivery drivers and $21 2 week for the truck drivers. If all the depots ere not affected now they will be affected.” The company says that the only demand was for yecognition of the union. President Loton Horton, of the company, said: “The wages of all these drivers were raised re cently, and they are now getting $16, $17 and $18 2 week. which are good wages. They demanded recognition of the wnion, which we will not grant in the way of agre=ing to employ only union men. But for the way the new men Were attacked the strike would have amounted to very little. We are now covering our work. and to-morrow matters will £0 as smoothly as if there had not been any strike.” It looked decidedly in the early hours of the snorning as if there was a Very vigorous _strike. The company had been informed on the preceding evening that the trucks would not be taken out, but appeared io have gelaved preparations for this contingency. When the drivers were sent to the Weehawken vards to take to the depols 50,000 quarts of milk for the delivery depots they left their trucks in the streets. The first of the new men was surrounded by 2a mob of strikers when his truck reached West 56th street, near the main depot. The strikers cut the harness and pummelled and kicked the driver, who was rescued by several persons and taken to Roosevelt Hospitai, where a number of bruises and some scalp wounds were attended to. The strikers &nd their sympathizers overturned another wagon which appeared a little later, a quantity of the milk being spilled on the street from cans which were broken. By the time the third wagon arrived ‘a number of police from the West 4Tth street station were on hand and all trucks sent out afteward with new drivers were guarded. Before the police came other drivers were attacked in lonely places. At the depot in Pacific street, Brooklyn, the same kind of disturbances occurred until the police came and guarded the mew men. About 7 o'clock last evening a squad of police men was on guard at the company’s barns in West 4th street, near Eleventh avenue, but there was no trouble of any sort. H. S. Tuthill, vice-president of the company, said he did not anticipate any further trouble, -but that the company had pre pared for it just the same. a

By A “We have about 150 strike breakers distributed sn warious parts of the city at the milk depots.” he said, “and these men have the authority to arrest any one who causes trouble. They are really special officers. There are only a t ten truckmen $n the strike, and T don’t believe y others will go out. When deliveries are made at the various ilk denots there will be protection for the drivers.” EIGHT MORE THAW CLAIMS FILED. Roger 0'Mara Asks $400—No Effort to Get Bankrupt to Pittsburg Monday.

Pittsburg, Sept. 4. —Eight claims ggainst the es tate of Harry K. Thaw were filed with William R. Blair. referee in bankruptcy. late yesterday. The claims follow: Frank J. Connelly. $30: Dr. John A.

CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. When Edgar A. Whitney was arraigned in the Tombs police court yesterday on charges of grand larceny Megistrete Walsh said he did not desire to try the case, as he had represented Mrs. Whit. ney in her suit for divorce. He postponed the ex amination until Tuesday, and fixed bail at 33,000. He will try to have one of his colleagues hear the case. Mre. William De Biliier, of No. 1 West 85th street, who died at the breakfast table on Thurs day morning, died from hemorrhage of the brain, according to the opinion of Dr. Philip O'Hanion, Coroner's physician, expressed afier an examina or Si ¥rom injuries received when an automobile in which they were riding turned turtle last night James Gough, a chauffeur, of No. 21912 Second avenue, and Donald Wensh, of No. 303 West 116th street. are in the Harlem Hospital in a critical condition. According to the police the machine was being run at a 60milean hour rate, and several policemen tried to stop it, without success. At 146th street and Lenox zvenue the car struck a pile of dirt thrown out of an excavation and turned over. Both men were pinned under it. They were severely bruised and received possible internal injuries.

The police say that the car, which was num bered 45.002, is the property of the Finance Department. The injured men say -that the machine is the property of John Wellington, and was kept in a garage at 110th street and Central Park West. Mr. Wellington is abroad. Gough was held a prisoner at the hospital on charges of reckless driving, alcoholism and ex ceeding the speed limit. HUGE BUDGET INCREASE. If Proportion Were Kept Up Total Would Reach £250.,000,000. The Bureau of Municipal Research has prepared a table showing budget increases requested by six teen city departments. If the average increase ssekd for by these departments is maintained by the others until ali the budget estimates have been submitted to the Board of Estimate and the Bu reau of Municipal Investigation and Statistics, the total increase in appropriations requested for 1909 over 1908 will amount to $58,000,000, exclusive of in creased interest on the city debt.

i

The table gives the 1908 budget for sixteen depart ments. the increase requested and what the city budget would be, assuming that all departments ~were to ask for a like percentage of increase. The highest per cent of increase requested is that of 81.7 per cent hy the Borough President of Queens. The total budget for 1909, if increased at this pro portion over 1308. would amount to $242,034,000.

The police and fire departments ask the smallest percentage of increase of the sixteen departments mentioned, being 14.2 and 14.5 per cent, respectively. The total budget, if increased in this proportion, would amount to about $163,000,000. Other increases requested are 60.9 per cent by the Borough Presi dent of Brookivn, 85.2 per cent by the Borough President of Richmond, 21.4 per cent by the Bor ough President of The Bronx, 271.7 per cent by the Borough President of Manhattan; Bellevue, 29.3: parks, from 25 to 35 per cent, and bridges, 43.5 per cent.

In presenting this tabie the bureau of municipal research makes no comment whatever as to the soundness of the arguments presented by the vari ous departments. The latter imply that reduction is nowhere possible.

ALLEGED BOOKMAKER HELD IN JERSEY Long Branch Fair Attracts Some New York Racetrack Men. Long Branch, N. J.. Sept. 4 (Special).—Charged with making book at the Elkwood Park races yes terday, Joseph Naussbaum, of New York, was ar rested last night, and, in default of £1,500 bail, was to-day committed to the county jail. Bennett C. Carton was the complainant. The prisoner was given a hearing before Justice Byron at Eaton town.

The fair attracted a large number of ‘‘sports" from New York who expected to place some bets on the horse races, but the state and Monmouth County authorities had detectives at the track to prevent open gambling. Many oral bets were made. however, it is said.

Man Arrested in Harlem Thought at First To Be Important Prisoner. A man known to the police as “Swill” McNally was locked up last night in thé East 104th street sta tion, charged with disorderly conduct, following his strange actions In front of No. 161 East 106th street. At first it was thought that he might know some thing of the many recent incendiary fires in this district, but after Captain Corcoran had examined him closely he decided that his suspicions were un warranted.

The prisoner made many sirange and illogical statements, according to Captain Corcoran, and when several bexes of matches were found in his pockets the police thought they had made an im portant arrest. Later developments showed that these suspicions were unwarranted. Greatly Encouraged by Efforts for Milk Pasteurization Abroad. i

After ar vear in Europe, spent in spreading a movement for milk pasteurization, Nathan Straus returned to New York yesterday afternoon on the White Star liner Cedric. Mr. Straus was very en thusiastic over his work in Europe and the interest taken in pasteurized milk in all parts of the Con tinent. Speaking of politics, he said he expected to spend a goed part of the next two- months working for Bryan, and predicted that the cam paign would develop a hard fight.

On the same boat with Mr. Straus was Miss Margaret McNeil, who will study the.methods- of pasteurization used in this country... Miss McNeil expects to be here for five weeks, all expenses of her visit being paid by Mr. Straus.

“Miss McNeil represents the Woman's National Health Association, and is very well known as a health worker on the other side,” said Mr. Straus. “She will study the methods of pasteurization in use here, paving particular attention to the way in which we deal with problems of sanitation. “Many courtesies were extended to me abroad, and I was agreeably surprised by the quick re sults of my work,” he continued. '“I- made my headquarters in Heidelberg and established a lab oratory there to supply the town with pasteurized milk. During the five months I was there only seven deaths of babies occurred, whereas the aver age for the corresponding months of the five pre ceding vears had been twenty-four.

FIREBUG THEORY UNWARRANTED. NATHAN STRAUS RETURNS. MEDAL OF HONOR RFUNION. CAS HMEATER ASPHYXIATES THREE. NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1908. AIDED BY LIVERMORE Cotton Broker Retains Lawyer to Defend Brother-in-Laz. Boston, Sept. 4. —The medical examiner has found that Chester Jordan's wife did not come to her-death by a blow from his fist, which, ac cording to the story he told to the police, knocked her downstairs, but that she was beaten to death with some blunt instrument, the blows being delivered on the front of the head.

When Jordan appeared in eourt this morning he showed little effect of his night in prison, and answered in a firm voice the questions of the judge. Jesse L. Livermore has been inac cessiblg all day, and early this morning the Livermore yacht, which had been in the upper harbor, weighed anchor.

It was found, however, that some miles down the bav thé yacht anchored again, and was still there late to-night, her flag indicating that the owner was ashore. Jordan, the police declare, said that after striking his wife he remembered nothing until the next morning, when, on awakening, he found her body at the foot of the stairs. At this latter time, however, his wife's neck was slashed from ear to ear. Willlam S. Scharton. who has been retained for the defence of Jor dan by his brother-in-law, Jesse L. Livermore, the cotton market operator, of New York, states that he already has evidence of Jordan's mental derangement several weeks before the murder.

The courtroom was crowded when the pris oner was taken into court. He showed no signs of nervousness, and looked quietly about the room.

“You are charged- with the murder of your wife, Honorah Jordan,” said Judge Butler. “Are vou guilty or not guilty?”

“I am net guilty, your honor,” replied Jor dan, calmly.

Counsel for Jordan then asked that the case be continued for one week. Judge Butler granted the motion and announced that the case would coma up for a hearing on Friday, September ‘11. At the home of the Livermores in this city last night it. was said nothing was known about the movements eof Mr. Livermore, whose rela tionship to Jordan was first published in The Tribune.

Shea, vice.presi dent and national organizer of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Em ploves; William V. Lockhart, president of the Ches ter union, and thirteen strikers, arraigned at Media to-day.

The detective, Frederick Wackter, of Philadel phia, posed during the entire strike as a street ped ler. Starting with Vice-President Shea, he took up each man in turn, told of confidence they had re posed in him, related how he had been taken along with a band of strikers who went out on a track wrecking expedition, and, giving names and dates, related each specific confession which he alleged the strikers-had made to him, believing him to be an ardent sympathizer with their cause.

TURTLE “EXHIBIT A” IN COURT Night Court Magistrate Decides Argument Between Seafood Men. Magistrate Corrigan, in the niget court, was awash with briny contention when Otto Schultze, of No. 1009 East 166th street, and Walter Vanderhay den, of No. 1752 Second avenue, were brought be fore the mast for disorderly conduct, On the deck of a Third avenue elevated train they argued over a bundle of live eels, humpbacked bass, frogs’ legs, live lobsters and 4 fifty-pound turtle. At 143d street the guard piped them ashore, and dn the station they raised a cyclone of argument, so Pa trolman Snyder took them into safe harbor.

When the magistrate asked to see the turtle, which Schultze referred to as a “turkey,” a clammy bundle was thrown on the desk. “Will the turtle come when you call it?” asked the Court of Vanderhayvden. The prisoner said that it was not a pet, and the magistrate saved the pair of them from the brig by a reprimand.

TO SEE MRS. HAINS'S LAWYER. District Attorney Darrin Wants Prisoner's Wife to Testifv Voluntarily. After several efforts District Attorney Darrin got into communication yesterday with Frank G. Wild, counsel for Mrs. Hains, and arranged for an inter view with him. Mr. Darrin wants to have Mrs. Hains testify voluntarily, so far as her testimony is admissible, against her husband and against T. Jenkins Hains. Mr. Wild will be back in this city on Tuesday and will consylt with Mr. Darrin either an that day or the following.

In the mean time Mr. Darrin will see District Attorney Jerome as often as possible, to prepare for the defence of insanity to be put forward for Captain Peter Cenover Hains. The preparations he is making to meet the defence have given rise to a rumor that the defence may be changed at the last moment, so that his work will go for naught. Mr. Darrin does not believe that this change will be made.

Seme slight stomach trouble has made ft necessary for the jail physician: to attend te T, Jenkins Hains once or twice, but that is all the medical attendance necessary for either brother. THINKS $1000 FEE HIGH ENOUGH. Caldwell, Sept. 5 (Special).—Recorder Frederick L. Heller, of Caldwell, who is petitioning for a spe cial election for that borough to fix a new'liquor license fee, has decided to reduce the figures for the proposed fee from $5,000 to $1,000. He has learned that a South Jersey town had its petition rejected by the court when it appealed for a 33,000 license fee, on the grounds that such a fee would be pre hibitory. Montclair is at present exacting an $800 license fee and in Plainfield the fee is 31,000. Cald well has only two saloons, and the Recorder thinks the proprictors can afford to pay as much as the saloonkeepers of Montclair at least.

In the “dog days’ of July and Auguts this year there were three deaths from rabies in this city. That is looked Ja as an unusual number, Dr. Rambaud, of the Pasteur Institute, said yes terday. These cases were all well defined rabies. In each instance the brain of the victim was ex amined by bacteriologists and the. negri body. surest indication of hydrophobia, was found in large numbers. Moreover, the same germ was found in the brains of the animals that bit the persons. But as the Soelety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says in a statement issued this year, all persons who are bitten by mad dogs are not necessarily infected. The society furthermore says that there is no sueh a period as “dog days,” for so far as madness among dogs is concerned the disease is as prevalent in January as in the hottest days of the summer. The Health Board is in agreement with this statement. In the last month the number of cases of dog bite treated at the Pasteur Institute fell off a great deal. Before the Board of Health instituted its death penalty enforcement of the law demanding a muzzle or leash on all dogs in the streets, the in stitute had as high as thirty-eight cases under treatment. Yesterday thare were only fifteen cases under the care of Dr. Rambaud, and these will soon be discharged. There have been very few new cases in the institute. Dr. Wheeler, Dr. Ram baud’'s assistant, #3ld vesterday: “There can be no question that the decrease in the number of persons bitten by dogs is due to the enforcement of the law by the Health De partment patrolmen. To meet a dog without a muzzle or a leash now is a novelty. Even though the Health Department may not be as vigorous in its crusade as formerly, the law is being generally obey Pata At the Health Department it was said by Dr. Bensel, wha has charge of the enforcement of the law. that the department patrelmen were still un der orders to shoot all stray dogs, and that a number were killed every day. But the total killed now, he said, was not one-fiftieth of the number shot when the order first went into effect. NO WONDER THEY WERE ARRESTED. These Noise Makers Were Keeping the Police Awake. Three junk dealers and a member of a brass band were arrested vesterday, charged with vio lating the anti-noise ordinance. The junk dealers had bells on their carts and were accused of waking up the pelice reserves in the new West 29th street police station. They promised not to offend again, and were dismissed from the Jeffer son Market police court with a warning. Patrolman John Stein, of the East 88th street station, heard some one blowing loud notes on a horn early in the morning at 87th street and First avenue, and gathered in Peter Hoffman. a tuba player clad in- a blue uniform, whom he arraigned before Magistrate Moss in the Harlem court. Hoffman's face was badly scratched. He told the magistrate that he had been with his band to a political pienie at College Point and in coming back somebody had tried to get his big brass instrument away from him. Hence the seratches.

Just after the magistrate had discharged him his wife entered the courtroom looking for her husband, who, she said, had been out all night.

Wr. Bigelow’s Final Collection o, Pavers bu Samuel J. Tilden. Papers by Samuel J. Tilden. fXTTERS AND LITERARY RIALS OF In the public affairs of his time Mr. Tilden played so large a part that it is well to have the material for final estimate of his character sssembled and edited by one whose acquaint; snce with him was intimate and personal. A collection of the Governor's public writings and his Mfelong friend and associate, Mr. John Bige jow. A formal biography of the statesman fol jowed from the same competent hand, and now, efter the lapse of a score of vears, the Nestor of American literature pays final tribute to his ¢riend by preparing two volumes of “Letters and Literary Memorials of Samuel J. Tilden.” It hed been the latter's practice from boyhood to preserve Copy of every document, of every note he wrote, end of those that he received he must have retained a very largs proportion. Thers fell, therefore, into the hands of his lit. ersry executor, accumulstions of social, political sné documentary correspondence to be measured by the ton, and embracing nearly every impor tant political question by which this country has peen agitated since the days of Andrew Jack son. The mere physical handling of such masses of material would tex rebust strength. The present volumes are intended to be complemen tery to the collection of speeches and public pa pers above referred to, and naturally relate to much wider range of topics. A large part is comprised of letters from correspondents who sought counsel or assistance upon the greatest variety of subjects, and the editor has enriched his compilation by reprint of the late James C. Carter's “Appreciation” of Tilden, originally published in “The Atlantic Monthly.” $33; 35%. Harper Bros. by ¥r. Tilden's activities were so largely political that men are likely to overiook the fact that he was lawyer of commanding position, a distin guished master of affairs, as well as profound and sagacious student and observer of human nature. Mr. Carter, in pointing out these char acteristics, Is sbie to illustrate them from per sonz] knowledge, snd the whole contents of the volumes do but confirm his judgment. Identi fied as he was with the opposing party, his earll est impressions of Tilden were far from favor abie. He does not forget to note the latter's foibles, particularly his vanity, his smecretiveness, his irritating, rasping sense of superiority. He points out, moreover, that Tilden has falled of a @rst and adequate popular estimate because his pre-eminence Was in the intellectual rather then in the emotional powers. Close associa tion with him brought conviction of “his pro digious superiority to other men,” and one who became himself the leader of the American bar declares Tilden's intellectual endowments to be of the highest order &nd sums up deliberate surver of his life made soms years after its close with the words, properly qualified: “I can not help thinking that Governor Tilden pos sessed, on the whole, greater capabilities for usefulness in public life than any other man of his generation. I cannot find elsewhere such a union of the ability to discover true govern mental policies with the firm and undeviating purpose to pursue them.” The basis for an even jess exalted estimate is not, of courss, to be sought in these volumes, for Mr. Tilden's most important papers and most characteristic ut terances have been collected elsewhere, but these pages shed light upon many different phases of his long, interesting and varied career, and af ford many glimpses of persons of note with whom he was brought into contact. The effect of such a heterogeneous collection is not that of a harmonious picture—such is not intended—but rather the assemblage of material ¢rom which a portrait may be drawn. Political subjects naturally predominate, and in the youthful partisan. the follower and coadjutor of Martin Van Buren and Silas Wright, is found the same cold, dispassionate, scientific attitude toward public questions that characterizeed the szed sage in retirement at Greystone. To illus trate the strength of his attachment to the Union in war times, while still acting with the Democratic party, we may quote from a speech prepared for Mr. Seymour, candidate for Gov ernor in 1862: And now. if m+ wvoiece could reach the Southern people through the journals of the metropolis, I would say to them that in no event can the tri umph of the conservative sentiment of New York in the election mean censent to disunion, either now or hereafter. Its true import is restora Northi and South, of that Constitution had secured every right. and under shelter ail had been happy and pros until you madly fled from its pro tection. Within the Union we will give von the Constitution you profess to revere, re newed with fresh guarantees of equal rights and equa! safety. We will give you everything that iocal self-government demands; everything that a common ancestry of glory, everything that na tiona! fraternity or Christian fellowship requires; but te dissolve the federal bond betwsen these which whose

states, to dismember our country, whoever else consents, we will not. No; never, never, never. It i= curious to bserve how often he was called upon to furnish the “keynote” of a con test, to suppiv speeches and messages for others. Without the physical attributes of an orator, he was content to -hape the issues, to effect results politically. In half a century of political struggles he was rarely in office—only three or four years in all. He was not without the power of skilful generalization, and while fils writings do not reflect the glow of a genial temperament or attract by charm of expression, they gerive vigor from their logical coherence, their clarity of vision, their saneness of judg ment.

care and foresight. He advises Abel Bonnard and His Verses on Humble French Types. Parisians have at last found their poet lsu reate. Not a poet laureate in partibus, like Al fred Austin, in England, nor even like Léon Dierx, who a couple of years ago was elected “Prince of Poets” by a plebiscite vote of the readers of “Ie Mercure de France” in succes sion to Mallarmé; but an Impressionist poet with a mentality akin to that of Verlaine and one who has the faculty of catching the most popu lar colloquial expressions of the day and ren dering them into perfect alexandrines. Abel Bonnard is the French Crabbe. Just as Crabbe described the crossing sweepers, costermongers and haberdashers of England early in the nine teenth century, so does Bonnard paint with his vivid, alert, Raffaclli-like pen the village school masters and the shoemakers of the rural France of to-day. The homely observation of a Ho garth, the humor of a Daumier and the mascu line energy of Kipling are all found in the quaint verses of this writer, who first became known two years ago by “Les Familiers,” which obtained for him the French National Prize of Poetry. This was followed by “Les Royautés,” and a fortnight ago by “Les Histoires,” a col lection of short poems—some of them trite, others replete with philosophical reflection—de scriptive of French village life.

Not for Fiany year has poetry been so much a la mode as is just now the case in France. As with music and painting, so it is now with poetry. Just as mundane amateurs acquired more or less proficiency in composing musie, in painting in oll or in sketching in water colors, so now do smart and fashionabla men and women of letters write poetry without trans gressing the rules of versification or of rhythm. It was only five years ago that Léon Dierx ad mitted that the pecuniary benefit hse derived from writing poetry did not exceed $00. There is now change for the better. The leading publishing houses find that with the exception of personal memoirs snd works of historical anecdote no books gell so well as books of verse. Thers is a greatly increased demand for the writings of contemporary poets such s&s Jean Richepin, Edmond Rostand, Fernand Gregh, Jean Moréas, Catulle Mend2s, the Com tessa Mathieu de Noallles and Lucis Delarue Msdrns. The descriptive poems of Abel Bon nard, with their musical ripples and incisive impressionism, are peculiarly fitted to be read aldud. Many of his best efforts do not exceed sixty lines. Buch, for instance, are his striking sketches of the village club, of the tailors evening at home, of the arrival of the deputy among his constituents, of the family doctor, of the rustic schoolmaster, of the rural celebra tion of July 14, and of the busy little coutu riere who, “while sewing upon a coquette cor sage that she is never destined to wear, pauses an instant with her dainty uplifted finger, tipped with a silver thimble, suggestive of some pretty little king wearing a diamond stud ded crown.” Bonnard, the popular “poet lau reate,” has suddenly become the favorite mas ter of verse in Paris.

A new society has just been formed here, called “La Société Francaise d'Illustration,” the object of which is to develop the art of illustrat ing books. The committee includes many men and women prominent in art, among whom are Pau! Leclercq, the Comtesse Mathieu de No gilles, Paul Adam, Réné Boylesve, Henri de Regnier, Abel Bonnard, Moreau-Nelaton, A. Dauchez, Pierre Louys, Prinet, G.

To his habit of pre serving correspondence, which bas laid an in credible burden upon his executor. we are in debted for countless interesting sidelights. One may be deeply grateful for this thoroughiy char acteristic and altogether delightful utterance of Mr. Henry Adams, the historian, and find seme thing cheerfully incongruous in his addressing such judgments upen Jefferson and his col leagues to their lineal descendant and successor.

To do justice to Gallatin [writes Mr. Adams] was a labor of love. After long study of the prominent figures of our history. I am more than ever con vinced that for combination of ability, integrity, knowledge, unselfishness and social fitness Mr. Gal latin has no equal. He was the most fully and perfectly equipped statesman we can show. Other men, as I take hold of them, are soft in some spots and rough in others. Gallatin never gave way in my hand@ or seemed unfinished. That he made mistakes I can see, but even in his blunders he was respectable.

I cannot say as much for his friends, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, about whom I have been for vears hard at work. In regard to them I am in

cessantly forced to devise excuses and apolegies or to admit that no excuse will avail. I am sat times almost sorry that I ever undertook to write thelr histéry, for they appear like mere grasshop pers kicking and gesticulating on the middle of the Mississippi River. There is no possibility of reconciling their theories with their acts, or their extracrdinary foreign policy with dignity. They were carried along on a stream which floated them, after a fashion, without much regard to themselves, This I take to be the result that students of his tory eraily reach in regard to modern times.

The element of individuality is the free will dogma of the sciences, If it is a science. My own conclu sion is that history Is simply social development aiong the lines of weakest resistance, and thet in

most cases the line of weakest resistance is found 1s unconsciously by soclety as by water.

Tilden's life was spent in political battle at a ime when bitterness of personality ran high. He was a man to make himself admired and ‘feared, rather than loved. He bore himself In i he most trying ordeal with dignity and modera fon. The New York Public Library is a per petual monument of his philanthropy.

Corot called upon the latter one day and bought the cottage and gar den, stipula.ing in the deed that the property should belong to the tenant. He then went to see Dasumlier, and said to him: “This house has just been said. You have got a mew proprietor, 7 knew him. I wanted to recommend you to him. But unfortunately he is worse tempered than your old landlord. snd in all probability he will turn you out. Here is a notice that he asked me to give you.” Corot handed Daumier the purchase deed. The caricaturist, thinkirg ‘hat it was a threatening letter, crumpled it up in his fist and angrily threw it away. Corot burst out laughing, picked up the paper, straightened it out, read the deed aloud, and added: “Now you see, mos viewwr, it is you who are the landlord. I don’t fancy that you will turn yourself out!” Daumier, who was a very proud old man, wiped his eyes and replied: “You are the only human being from whom I could accept this favor!”

The more important of these is a portrait of Marmontel by the Swedish painter Alexander Roslin, who, like his fellow country men, Lundberg, the pastellist, and Hall, the miniaturist, became a member of the French Academy of Painting. This completes the series of twelve portraits by Roslin owned by the Louvre. The Versailles Gallery also possesses ten Roslins, one of these being the well known portrait of Marie Antoinette. Marmontel is rep resented holding a large letter in his left hand, from which he raises his eyes as if to greet a visitor. It is a remarkable plece.of work, and is supposed to be a good likeness of the per petual secretary of the French Academy, amus ‘ng conversationalist, rather commonplace au thor of “I.es Contes Moraux” and of “Les Incas.” friend of Voltaire, jack of all kinds of literary work, but superior in nothing. The sec ond acquisition made by the Louvre is a fasci nating sketch of an exceedingly attractive wom an in delightful attire, by Augustin de Saint Aubin. the painter and engraver of Louis XVI it is the portrait of Saint-Aubin’'s wife, who often posed as his model. The sketch depicts her just as she is about to consent to a rendez vous. With uplifted finger and nervous, be witching smile, she exclaims, “Au moins, soyez discret!”

As the theatrical vacation draws toward its end, the “probabilities” during the forthcoming season are made known. The Opéra has in hand Wagner's “Crépuscule des Dieux,” “Monna Vanna,” by Maeterlinck and Fevrier, and “Bac chus,” by Catulle Mend2s and Massenet. The Comédie Francaise will bring out “Le Bon Roi Dagobert,” a play in verse by André Rivoire; “La Furie,” a tragedy in verse by Jules Bois, the action of which is laid in Cyprus in pre Christian days; “Le Foyer,” by Octave Mirbeau, the play which has been the subject of bitter litigation on the ground that it revealed scan dalous episodes pertaining to the private life of a member of the French Academy, and “‘Con nais-toi,”” comedy by Paul Hervieu. Among some fifteen new operas intended for production at the Opera Comique are “Solange,” a comic opera in three acts by Adolph Aderer and Gas ton Salvayre; “Sanga,” by Eugene Moreau, Paul de Choudens and Isidore de Lara; *“Chiquito,” by Henri Cain and Nougues; “Plerre le Vérl dique,” by Catulle Mend2s and Xavier Leroux and de Musset's “On Ne Badine pas Avec I’Amour,” for which music has been composed by Gabriel Pierns. The Odéon is busy with “La Tragédie Royale,” an historic drama in prose, by Saint Georges des Bouhélier, and Dickens's “David Copperfield” rendered into sprightly French and freely adapted by Max Maurey, the manager of Le Grand Guignol.

At the Vaudeville we are promised a French version of Pinero’s “La Maison Est en Ordre,” Maurice Donnay’'s “La Patronne,” “Le Lys,” by Pierre Wolff and Gaston Leroux, and “La Meil leure des Femmes,” by Maurice Hennequin and Paul Bilhaud. The Gymnase intends to bring out “La Bampe,” a three-act vaudevills by Raron Henri de Rothschild; “Papa,” a comedy by de Flers and de Calllavet, and “Le Roman de Lu cette,” by Paul Gavault and Robert Charvay. The Gymnase undertakes to produce “L’Emligré,” by Paul Bourget; “L’Oiseau Blessé” by Alfred Capus, and “Le Marriage de Télémaque,” by Jules Lemaitre and Maurice Donnay, with music by Claude Terrasse. The Thédtre Réjane has a quiver full of new plays, among which are “Israel,” by Henri Bernstein; “Madame Mou ton,” by André Sylvane et Mouézy-Eon, and a new comedy by Victorien Sardou. The Théatre Antoine is preparing ‘“L’Auberge Rouge,” by Balzac, adapted by Serge Basset. Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, who is in the full enjoyment of her holiday at Belle Isle, has not yet definitely de cided upon her winter programme. M.

How white its ribbon measures out The sun-baked acres round the town! How hoarse tha People’s empty shout Behind us travels downl They fret, but we, with scrip and staff, Take pilgrims’ way some dusty eve. Behind the People snatch and laugh Cver the toys we leave. Beyond us lies the heathy hill, Lone valleys whers the brown streams meet, The iow-roofed cot, the turning mil, The waving plains of wheat, Refora us still the wide skies arch, The primrose West with ross is strewed, And shadowy cloud-battalions march Across its solitude. The wild-flower clusters brighter twine, The wild birds’ note more clearly rings, And from the shade of beech ani pine Look forth the forest things. But far behind, through dusty days The People fret against their bars, And set no foot in open ways, Nor eye the evening stars. And some have paused by purples slope To hear the echo of their sighs, Turned back to bring the Peoule hope, And toiled to make them wise. For air and the blue heav'n are free {Say they), and peace is not for few, And these must share, as well as we, The stars and morning dew. These must come forth with pilgrim song, With light-weighed scrip and strength'ning For unto al the roads belong, And the straight paths of God. Mr. Paul T. Lafleur, of McGill University, has communicated to ‘Notes and Queries” his dis covery of two errors in two of Thackeray's novels.

BIG FELLOW By Frederick Palmer ““A STORY THAT. SOME TIME OR OTHER. EVENTUALLY EVERYBODY WILL READ.” LFSECOND LARGE EDITION BEFORE PUBLICATION. HIS is a big novel, with a big American for its hero—a new character, simple and magnetic, full of boyish unaffectedness, a real hero without even wanting to be one. The story recalls,

measurably, the author’s other fine American novel, “The Vagabond.” but it is maturer, more finished, better in every way. The plot carries us eventually to one of our island possessions, where Mr. Palmer is perhaps most at home, as everybody knows, and where our Big Fellow accomplishes some of the Big Things that Americans have been doing there these recent years. It is a love story of a fine, stirring kind.

Advices from Berlin and Paris indicate that irritation is increasing over the Moroccan situation, though one German paper says that the empire is willing to treat with France in a friendly spirit and to await the Franco-Spanish note before taking further action. Sir Vincent Corbett, the British Minister to Venezuela, has arrived at Port of Spain. Emanuel Mandel. a wealthy mer chant of Chicago, was killed by a fall from a train at Basle. The edict that Russian professors must renounce membership in parties not recognized by the government is expected to cripple the universities. The Holy Synod has issued an encyclical warning believers against taking part in the celebration of Count Tolstoy's birthday. Lawyers for Ernest Menry Sackville West, who says he is “the eldest and legitimate son of Lord Sackville,” will contest the baron’s will. which leaves the estate to his nephew. Fire destroyed four thousand houses in Niigata, Japan.

DOMESTIC. —¥Frank P. Sargent, CommIlssion er General of Immigration, died in Washington. Orville Wright made a successful test of his aeroplane at Fort Myer. Virginia. The chief of police of Ware, Mass, was probably fatally wounded by a suspicious character, who committed suicide after the shooting. Street railway employes threatened to call out 32,009 men and involve all New Engiand in a sirike. Sheriff Bradiey of Saratoga County took the stand in his own defence, and testified that he enforced the anti-betting law at Sara toga as interpreted by ex-Senator Brackett Governor Hughes spoke at the Niagara County fair; ex-Governor Black, in a letter to Prisons Superintendent Collins, expressed the opinien that the Governor should be renom fnated. Jesse L. Livermore, the cotton broker, retained a lawyer to defend his brother in-®mw, accused of murder. in speeches at Lincoln, W. J. Bryan referred to his “war record” and criticised army and navy appropria tions. The business section of the mining camp at Rawhide, Nev, was destroved by fire, with a loss of $750,000; three thousand persons are homeless.

CITY. Stocks were strong. George D. Whitney, of thé failed Pittsburg banking house, said heavy loans to his concern by A. O. Brown Co. were in a large measure responsible for the latter company's failure. Congressman William Sulzer was around with a boom for the Democratic Governorship nomination. State Chairman Woodruff said there was no organized movement against Governor Hughes's renomination. National Chairman Mack went to Chicago in search of funds to carry on the Democratic carapaign. Witnesses for the Standard Oil Company denied unfair com petifien and discriminations in the South at the

earing before Franklin Ferris, the referee. The head of a prominent fire insurance under writing company made an appeal for better building laws. There were three deaths from bona fide rabies reported in this city dur $ng July and August. Brigadier General James Allen, of the United States Signal Corps, spoke hopefuliv of the future of military sero nautics in this country. J. J. Fleming, as private secretary to J. Van Vechten Olcott, sent tart reply to Lemuel E. Quigg's avowal of support for the anti-Mack fight. The August report of the Department of Health showed fewer deaths than in August of last Year. A strike of the truck drivers of the Sheffield Farms company caused inconvenience in many families; the new men who took the strikers’ places were attacked, and police had to be called to guard them.

THE WEATHER. —Indications for to-day. Fair, warmer; to-morrow, fair. The tempera ture yesterday: Highest, 73 degrees; lowest, 58. ON A HIGHER PLANE. The death of Lord Sackville inevitably re calls the untoward incident which terminated his service as British Minister im Washington. In answering, as he did. the celebrated Mur chison letter, Nir Lionel Sackville-West (his elevation to the peerage came later) commit ted a flagrant diplomatic indiscretion. The rudimentary conventions of his profession for bade his interfering in the domestic politics of the country fo which he was accredited, and his advice to a pretended naturalized Briton, indicating for which Presidential candidate he should vote. fully justified the administration in sending him his passports. Yet the facet that he was made the victim of a political stratagem has inclined the American public to soften its judgment and to sympathize with him more or less ss a sacrifice {o unscrupulous partisan enterprise.

It is certainly a satisfaction to think that such an episode would not be likely to recur in American politics to-day. Since 1888 we have made great progress in our conduct of na tional political campaigns. The too fierce par tisanship of the post-belluin period has ahated and we have reached the point of discussing and settling political questions in a spirit of greater moderation and greater tolerance. Per sonalities are being more and more eschewed and reason is being appealed to rather than prejudice. The public demands fair play and will not countenance a resort to pettifogging and sharp practices. It would be hard to jmagine a pure forgery like the Morey letter playing the role nowadays which it played for weeks in the Garfield-Hancock campaign. It would be difficult also now {o obscure the real issues of a national contest by such ven omonus personalities as were employed in 1884. The voters have become too liberal and toe in dependent to be greatly influenced by bush whacking and slander, and managers realize that chicanery is no longer an efféctive political x-President Cleveland in his last word to the American people—his posthumous article on the significance of the Presidential cam paign of 190s—unoted this marked improvement in the tcne of our political controversies, He said:

3 =o, it seems to me, as review the last half centuty, that from the mental vision 1 may draw ‘Amusements. 4

President Parsons of the County Committse takes up the Tribune's comment on Congressman Bennet's letter regarding the primary instruction for or against Hughes projected in Mr. Bennet's district and certain other districts in this city and calls public attention to the fact that Mr. Bennet himself is favorable to Mr. Hughes. Our opposition to binding the party through the ac tion of the enrolled voters in a few typical dis tricis in this city has nothing t6 do with the personality of Mr. Bennet, but is based on much broader grounds. Mr. Parsons may think that the plan is likely to afford a good testof public sentiment generally. or of that sectien of public sentiment which he may feel bound to follow. But in our opinion the situation calls for leader ship of the same sort that the party has often required when it came to make its nominations— a leadership which will, if necessary, as has been the custom in the past, look beyond the results of the primaries, and which will inter pret apd carry out the desire of that wider public to which the party must appeal to be successful. It dees not call for that sort of leadership which will merely shackle itself with a mandate from its own loyal following, evea when that mandate leads straight to defeat.

It will not do to treat the situation as if the state had already direct primaries sufficiently popular adequately. to register the party's will. The primaries in this state have never had any such binding force as direct primarles bave, nor should they have. The enrolment is compar atively small, and, as this paper has already suf ficiently pointed out, a majority of those who are likely to attend the primaries are active organization men, whose ideas are formed by contact with leaders, sub-leaders and district captains, and through clubhouse associations, so that when an appeal is made to the primaries for instructions it is practically an appeal hy the leaders to,men whose thinking is done for them by the leaders. In no respect is the vote at the primaries typicad. If the party leaders wished to bind themselves to do something which they planned and desired to do, they would naturaliy appeal for instructions to primaries which have been over and over again shown to be in their control. If the primary vote should be against Hughes, and the leaders should detei mine to be governed by it, that excuse will not help them with the voters when it comes to electing their candidate, for the voters will ques tion the good faith of treating primaries as at present constituted as a fair test of public sen timent and as binding upon the party.

Mr. Parsons says he must be governed by the action of the enrolled voters, for they are ihe party. So they are, for the coutrol of the ma chinery, and that is all that primaries have “hitherto decided. Will Mr. Parsons attempt to ‘elect hig candidate with his enrolled voters alone? Suppose the unenrolled voters desire something exactly the reverse of what is called for by the wishes of that small minority of the party. the majority of the enrolled voters, what would be the position of the party on Election Dar if the will of the latter should prevail? Leadership is necessary to determine what the unenrolled voters want and how to get their suffrages. The machinery attends to the rest. To make the primary voting minority the con trolling factor is to lay stress where it has never been laid before and where shrewd cam paigners, desirous of victors, would not lay it now.

Mr. Quigg put the stress upon that section in 1897, when he received a mandate against Mr. Low. “fr. Halpin similarly ignored the impor tant for the trivial considerations when, in 1903, he acted on his mandate against Mr. Jeromé. The result in both cases was a fiasco. Mr. Par sous himself showed his superiority to his pred ecessors when, two years ago, he ignored the desires of the primary voters, who were for Mr. Bruce and insisted that the party, with Mr. Hughes at its candidate, make its appeal for every vote it needed to win the election. The situation to-day calls for just the same sort of courage, independence and resourceful leader ship from Mr. Parsons as it did two years ago, and he will make a mistake to begin now ‘o treat the primaries as bindiag, even if they lead to defeat. It demands the leadership of the President and of Mr. Sherman, whose judgment as to the party's course is of infinitely more value than anything which the primaries arc likely to show, and who know the wants of th? great silent section of the party upon which dependence must be placed to win the election.

Mr. Parsons says we fear an outcome from the primaries hostile to the Governor. We fear nothing, but the obstacles to the Governor's suc cess are enormous. The minds of a large por tion of the primary voters have Leen poisoned against him. Then, too, as “The New York Evening Mail” pointed out, he is unfairly run against the field. The leaders are to be hound by .the results of the primaries if against Mr. liughes, yet left free to exercise their own judg ment in selecting 2 substitute for him—whici shows the emptiness of the pretence that the primaries control the nomination. Why not rua Mr. Berri, Mr. Wadsworth and Mr. White, too, and see what strength they develop?

TIT IITIITNT IITs OanATY oY The Democratic newspapers which followed Mr. Cleveland most devotedly in his lifetime and which are now trying hard to support Mr. Bryan find it most awkward to dispose of the ex-President’s practical declaration for Taft and against Bryan, contained in his recently pub lished article on the conditions of the cam paign of 1908. “The Philadelphia Record,” for instance, an extreme exponent of individualism in economics and politics, argues that Mr. Bryan, the propounder of government ownership and operation of the railroads and government reg ulation of all kinds of production, is at bottom a harmless, narrow-coustruction Jeffersonian and deserves election as such. Mr. Cleveland did not think that Mr. Bryan was merely an oldfash ioned individualist, indulging in a few playful communistic vagaries, but meaning no harn. So “The Record” is obliged to square Bryanisi with Clevelandism, and itself with both, the best way it ean. Here is how it does it:

Republican newspapers that did not cease to belittle and vilifty Grover Cleveland during his lifetime are making great use of the post humous announcement of the high opinion of Mr. Taft's character and abilities entertained by Mr. Cleveland. There are thousands of good Democrats in the country who appreciate and who rejoice in the high attainments of Mr. Taft. The man is better than his party. It is the party at whose head he has consented to march which the country has reason to fear.

No man better than Mr. Cleveland under stood the danger to the Republic inherent in the perpetuation of Republican policies of adminis tration. Yet if Mr. Cleveland “understood the danger “to the Republie inherent in the perpetuation of “Republican policies,” and also realized that the pariy, not the leader, was to be voted into power, why did he deliberately commit himself to the support of Taft instead of Bryaa? Weigh NPV. VORK DAILY TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1908. this certain conclusion: We as individuals and citizens are better. wiser, cleaner handed than we were, and are rising steadily to planes higher than we have vet known. It is true in one way that the “evil that men do lives after them and the good is too oft interred with their bones,” pit that survival is more in effect than in pop ular consciousness. Never has a more intelligent body of voters prepared to go to the polls, and never one more thoroughly awakened to ite moral responsibilities. That is a just conclusion and a thoroughly hopeful one. Education in self-rule is a slow and painful process. But the American people are making steady progress toward the goal of moderation and enlightenment in politics. It is easy ‘to. measure that progress when we compare the openness and cleanness of pres ent campalgn methods with the personal abuse, the underhanded attacks and the questionable tricks in vogue within the memory of this opaperation.

AUP PARRKOYNS AND THE PRIMARIES RETWIEEN TWO STOOLR. NTW.VORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1908. ing the considerations on both sides, he preferred Taft and Republican success to Bryan and Dem ocratic success, because Republican success Was Jess to be deplored from his point of view as a conservative Democrat than Democratic success, which would involve the substitution of Bryan ism for Jeffersonianism. “The Record” can never hope to reconcile Bryanism and Cleveland jsm. Tt cannot be loyal to the ex-Presideut and yet belittle the importance of his rejection af Berean for Taft a ONT AHGY AR POLITICAL DEPOSITS. Mr. Bryan's triumphant figures showing the popularity of the government guaranteed banks in Oklahoma hardly bear analysis. In his speech at Topeka the Democratic candidate pointed out that between December, 1907, and May, 1008, the guaranteed banks “gained in “deposits $4,237,765 22, while the unsecured “banks, all national, showed a decresse in de “posits of $1,101,80786.” This, he said, indi cated the strong popular demand for insured deposits and the greater public faith. in the guaranteed banks. But an Oklahoman, in “The St. Louis Glohe Democrat,” explains how much politics and how little public feeling had to do with this shift of deposits. The enabling act passed by Con gress appropriated $3.000000 from the United Ktates Treasury as a school fund for the state. This sum was placed in the hands of the state officials in November, 1907, and, according to “The Globe-Democrat’s” informant, it was at first deposited in the national banks of Okla homa. When the Bryan scheme of guaranteed deposits was adopted the fund was used to in duce the banks to enter into that arrangement, and the deposits of it were withdrawn from all the national banks which refused to come under the operation of the Oklahoma guarantee law. Probably, if the facts were available, it could be shown that the state and local funds gzen erally had been used in a similar way to strengthen the guaranteed banks, aud if the shift of the school fund alone does not account for the whole change to which Mr. Bryan tri. umphantly points, the deposit of the other pub lic moneys would explain the rest. The figures regarding deposits show the activities of Gov ernor Haskell and the rest of the Oklahoma Bryanites, and indicate little or nothing regard ing the popular preference for guaranteed banks.

THE WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS. According to Dr. Lawrence B. Flick, who is in charge of the Henry Phipps Institute for poor consumptives in Philadelphia, a percept ible falling off in the mortality from thbercu Josis in that city has recently been observed. The number of deaths last year, he says, was 3.600, and in 1906 3,900. If the diminution could be maintained at that rate, Dr. Flick is confident that consumption would be prac tically wiped out in fifteen years. To some extent, perhaps, the reduction here observed may have been due to accidental causes, but it is not the less encouraging. Per haps in time the methods employed in war fare against tuberculosis will be even more effective than they are now, but the success which attends the adoption of those already in use is unmistakable. Within the memory of many comparatively young persons c¢on sumption was regarded as incurable. Since the exposure of that fallacy different methods of treatment have been tried from time to time. Just now fresh air and suitable food seem to yield better results than any kind of ‘medi cine. The all important fact, though, is that in 8 large percentage of cases, if the fight is begun soon enough, complete recovery ensues. One of the most important advances in cam paign methods relates to prevention. Even yet there are some serious problems which are not fully solved. Whether infection results more frequently from contaminated air or from con taminated food is a point still in dispute. But so long as precautions based on both possibili ties are employed 4 large degree of protection ensues. In addition to the regulations of health hoards which have resulted from the recom mendations of the most distinguished studengs of the disease society has had the benefit of several purely voluntary agencies. Many patients now benevolently adopt means to pre vent injury to other persons. Besides, by ‘means of lectures, free literature and special exhibitions, thousands are now educated con cerning the nature of tuberculosis and the iatest theories about its spread. Great as is the progress made thus far, it is reasonable to believe that it will yet be sur passed. Hundreds of bacteriologists have aimed to utilize, both for prevention and cure, the ‘system of inoculation which has so nearly sub jugated diphtheria. Their efforts have not been go fruitful as could have been hoped, but their failures do not prove that the task will never be performed. A realization of the noble pur poses of Koch, Behring and Trudeau may be witnessed before the first quarter of the twen tioth century has passed.

It is probably too much to say that Morocco is seriously imperilling the peace of Europe. That troublesome country did not do that before the Algeciras conference, and affairs now— which accord almost exactly with the forecast which was made by our contributor, “Ex Attaché,” nearly two months sngo—are not as complicated or as menacing as they were then. Of course, whenever any diplomatic controversy arises the army and navy departments of “he interested powers look sharp to get themselves in perfect trim and readiness. It is their duty to do so. But that does not mean that there 's a probability of their being called into action. They do not wait for probabilities. It is their duty ‘to be prepared for possibilities, even the most remote and whenever a possibility of need becomes a little less reinote than it ordinarily is, they must increase their readiness. So we may hear many militant rumors nowadays, but we shall do well not te look for their fulfilment. The situation is, however, unquestionably per plexing. and may even give cause for anxiety among those directly charged with its solution. Jt was remarked in these columns some time ago that the success of the Moroccan pretender ‘would probably be embarrassing io the powers, ‘since he had not only not given adherence to the Algeciras couvention, but had explicitly and em phatically proclaimed his intention of repudiai ing that convention and ali other coaventions, treaties and obligations existing between Mo rocco and European powers. Obviously, such a course would bring him into pretty immediate conflict with the powers. It would aiso prac tically make him an outlaw swmorpg rulers, for elsewhere the rule has been for usurpers and revolutionary governments to have some decent regard for the diplomatic undertakings of their predecessors. The principle of international law is that a change of government does not impair the valididy of a state's obligations. Now, if Mulai- Hafig has succeeded in mak ing himself the de facto Sultan of Morocco the question of recognizing him as such must he considered. In ordinary circumstances there would prcbably be little If any hesitancy or delay in giving him recognition. International law commonly regards the de faclo government of a state as that which is to be recognized aad dealt with, since it alone is actually exercising the fuactions eof goverumeni., But interna tional law assuredly does not prescribe its own destructjon or violation, and when a govern Laent proclaims itself to be not bound by the fuhdasmental principles of that law it cannot Certainly one govern a cannot be expected to recognize another which purposes to repudiate its obligations to ihe very governments which recognize it. Pru dence and, discretion, therefore, seemed to dic

a Tr VWORPOOCO TROURBLE. tate what international equity sanctioned, that the Buropean powers should await assurance of Mulai Hafig's intention to fulfil Morocco’s international obligations to them before recog nizing him as Sultan. That appears to have been the policy of France and of all the Algeciras signatories x cept Germany but Germany alone—as was fore cast by “Ex-Attaché”--proposes to grant® the usurper recognition without waiting for any such assurance, and, indeed, while the presumo tion, from his own declarations, is that he will not respect treaties between Morocco and the powers, for his recent alleged promise to re spect the Algeciras treaty is hopelessly vague and unconvincing. Upon the face of it that course may without offence be regarded with surprise, and with curiosity to know its motive. Germany is commonly supposed not to have been greatly pleased with the Algeciras conven tion, but it is not to be believed without much stronger evidence than any now apparent that she would resort to so perilous a means as this would be to force its abrogation or even its re vision, especially since Mulal Hafig is as likely to repudiate all other conventions as that one. A far preferable theory would be that she has secured privately, in advance of the other pow ers, satisfactory assurance of the good faith and behavior of the de facto Sultan. If that should prove to be the case, a notable triumph for Ger man diplomacy would be indicated, promising much for German ascendency in Morocco under the new reign, while in any event the course now pursued by the Berlin government will cause Germany and German interests to be re garded with peculiar favor at the Shereefian Hayy vd A Galveston dispatch to “The New York Times” contains the “news” that 150,000 Texas negro Republicans have seceCed from the Re publican party and will support Bryan. What they used to do with their vétes before they se ceded is by no means clear, since the total vote for the Republican national ticket four years ago was only 51,242, and there are many thousands of white Republican voters in Texas. ii The remarks of President Winter of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company upon trans fers raise the question why the traction officials do not devote their energies to reforming the abuses in the transfer system rather than to doing away with it. If the existence of abuses were a reason for the abolition of institutions mighty few would be left in this imperfect world.

Mr. Bryan will have to make out a better case for his claim under the will of the people than he did for his élaim under the will of Philo Bennett.’ SE te The fact that the Commissionera of Accounts reported recently that he had wasted vast sums does not deter Borough President Haffen from requesting a handsome increase of appropria tions for his borough administration. Will he get it? That question will probably be answered in accordance with the abstract principles of logrolling. The official prohibition of the use of tar or crude coil on roads in France is not at all sur prising. There has for some time been a sus picion that the use of the stuff might be in jurious to vegetation and indged to some animal life, while there is no doubt at all that it is highly offensive to many people. Of its efficacy in laying the dust there can be no doubt; but that, after all, is not the only thing to be aimed at in roadmaking. rr THE TALK OF THE DAY. Money stringency and the lack of steady em ployment have curtailed the receipts of saloons in the districts inhabited by the working classes to a surprising extent in Philadelphia, according to “The Record.” “Thé hard times have convert ed many whiskey drinkers into the milder férms of indulgencs,” gald a liquor dealer in a factory district; “but even at that there is less consump tion of beer thaa formerly. Our business is a pretty good barometer of the prevalling condi tions. When times are good the warkingman will indulge his taste for luxuries to the peint of extravagance, but when he is working only half time, or possibly idle, he is obliged to re trench in the drinking line. Many of thoss who formerly spént considerable over my bar began to cultivate the ‘kettle’ habit. Now, ‘there is no money in the ‘kettle’ trade, and it was be coming so popular in this locality that 1 was obliged to cut it out. If I have to depend on ‘Ket tle’ patrons I might as well shut up shop, be cause the person wLo once forms the habit of ‘chasing the duck’ expects 20 cents’ worth of ‘suds’ for 10 cents, and if he doesn't get it he is offended, and really believes he is getting cheated.” i TO A BEGINNER.

Will Fou sound the bazoo that is slumbrous and slow, Or the trump that Keeps people awake. You can't make a start till you let the world know What kind of a pose you will take.

Chicago furnished a novelty in thie Hne of proclamations in the shape of an official order from the Mayor, duly posted at the City Hall, extending the time for wearing straw hats to September 15. “Thus,” says “The Chicago Tribune,” “with rare force and courage, the Mayor knocked cut a quirk of fashion which has oppressed Chicagoans for vears. In so doing he reprieved at least a million straw hats from sentences to graves In the garbage boxes, and assured himself of the plaudits of the citizens of the city, irrespective of politics.” The proc lamation reads: “Office of the Mayor, City Hall, Chicago.—In the absence of action by higher authorities, and owing to the continued hot weather, I, Fred A. Busse, Mayor of the City of Chicago, do hereby extend the time for wearing straw hats from September 1, 1908, to and in cluding September 13, 1908.—~Fred A.

An Italian paper recently surprised the world with the news that the first Napoleon had once ventured into the field of the drama, and hardly has the world ceased to speak of the imperial tragedian, says C. A. Bratter, In a Berlin paper, when documents come to light which show that Louis Philippe, the citizen king, also tried his hand at stage business. His genius, however, was in another direction. The discovered manu scripts show that the King was a colaborer with llugene Scribe on the libretto for Halévy's “Henry VIII” The royal librettist siso fur nisiied a melody for that work, or, rather, in duced the composer to interpolate one. The King sang the song, Halévy noted it down care fully, and when it was recorded Louis Philippe said: “Forty years ago I sang it for beautiful women in London, and could give you now the address of the musle shop wheres I purchased it.” “There are some abo that resemble Milton sad A.
