THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW" YORK, SUNDAY, JULY 15, 1900. MISCELLANEOUS. MISCELLANEOUS. GENERAL DRAPER HERE.

IS THIRD BUTTER! CAMPS AFTER HALF DATS MARCH PREPARES PLAN FOB PEACE THE NEW SOAP. Have You Tried criminal methods and abuses. The national party would show great political discernment and good sense were they to cease hostilities and co operate with the established authorities In the prosecution of those bandits and robbers who have, during the last few months, succeeded in dragging the fair fame of the Filipino revolution to the low level. "In view of the foregoing, we believe the following resolutions should be adopted: "First Recognize the supremacy of the United States, by a cessation of hostilities; obey the American authorities and loyally co operate with them in the work of pacification. "Second Ask from the government of the United States the declaration that we be allowed the enjoyment of personal rights guaranteed by the American Constitution; exception is made of our political rights until such time as Congress shall definitely determine our future.

"Third Unite and appear before the American Congress to ask of them the fulfillment of our noble aspirations. There shall be absolute and entire political freedom of speech and expression. The autonomists may ask for autonomy; the annexationists for annexation, and the nationalists for independence, and no party shall by force or violence impose its ideas upon any other. "Fourth Philippine funds shall be applied as follows: to maintain a hospital tor the wounded and sick Filipino soldiers now In the field: to succor the invalid Filipino soldiers; to create a university in Manila and four official institutes, one in Manila, one in Vigan, one in Nueva Caceres and one in Hollo, all under the protection of the United States government. "Fifth Our political rights shall be exercised after the manner determined by the American Congress.

"Sixth Any person holding funds belonging to the government of the Filipino republic shall deliver the same to the American government established in Manila, failing in which such person will be prosecuted as a A DELIGHTFUL CHANGE FROM THE OLD.

AGAINST LOU POLICE. Parliament Listens to an Arraignment of Vice Such as New Yorkers Often Hear. HOME SECRETARY AGHAST. The Prince of Wales Sets a New Fashion and Has an Encounter With Cabhy. London, July 14 In Parliament the week wan redeemed from total tediousness by a remarkable expose of London's corruptness by Samuel Smith (Liberal, member for Flintshire), and John Burns (Socialist, member for Battersea).

The allegations made by these members and Home Secretary Ridley did not deny them show conditions which equal anything discovered by tho Lcxow and Mazet committees in New York immoral dens, blackmailing and bribery of the police apparently flourishing and greatly on the increase, especially in the West End. Degraded criminals, declared Mr. Burns, who were cleared out in 1SSS, are re establishing themselves in large numbers in the metropolis, and he offered to show Sir Matthew White Ridley West End haunts. He also asserted that the West End Club proprietors and brothel keepers have the police directly under their control. Mr.

Burns cited individual instances, and ended by telling the Home Secretary that if he did not stop this bribery the evil would "deepen until they saw a state of affairs in London similar to what had been seen in the Tenderloin of New York, where a chief inspector had earned 10,000 a year by blackmailing gambling hells and prostitutes." All policemen in the West End, Mr. Burns suggested, should be paid belter, as 'their present pittance made even trifling bribes terrible temptations. The Home Secretary was aghast and said he would examine into the charges. Mr. Smith confined himself chiefly to exposing publ'ic indecencies.

"Many things," he declared, "were tolerated in England which would not be allowed in America." Mr. Burdett Coutts' South African hospital service exposures continue to simmer. He explains his objection to Professor Cunningham being selected by A. J. Balfour (the government leader in the House), for membership in the investigating committee by the statement that Mr.

Cunningham, though a professor of Dublin University, is also an examiner in the army medical department, and thu'i an employe of the War Office. Mr. Bur dette Coutts' point is generally admitted and Mr. Balfour's method of selection is criticised. F.

S. Gooday, general manager of the Great Eastern Railroad, has been asked to serve on the committee. The fifth member has not yet been secured. The oniy other feature of the week at Westminster was the setback administered to John Kensit, the antl Rituallst crusader, who has frequently interrupted religious services, and his followers by the Lord Chancellor, Earl Halsbury. who assured the Archbishop of Canterbury, the most Rev.

Frederick Temple, D. there was a statute which inflicted severe penalties on the brawling and grave and church descratiou of which he complained. The police, apparently, are not aware of the statute, which, curiously enough, was enacted during the reign of "Bloody Mary." After the Chancellor's stern warning, it is probable that the Kenslts will not be so aggressive in the future. The appointment of the Earl of Hopetoun to be the first governor general of the Federated Australian Colonies at a salary of 10. 000 meets with general approval.

As Governor of Victoria the Earl became immensely popular in Australia, while the tact with which he has filled the duties of Lord Chamberlain has greatly added to the young peer's reputation. The Earl of Denbigh is expected to succeed to the royal office lord chamberlain of her majesty's household. Though Australian federation is an established fact, owing to the Queen's signature being affixed to the bill, and though the governor general has been appointed, the location of the Australian capital has not yet been decided upon. By the terms of the new constitution it is to be in New South Wales, distant no less than one hundred miles from Sydney. The intercity rivalry makes the final selection a matter of grave Import.

When the matter is decided a hundred square miles will be taken from New South Wales, becoming the property of the commonwealth, on the same plan as Washington and the District of Columbia. In the meanwhile. Melbourne will be the temporary seat of the Legislature. The Prince of Wales has set a new fashion. This time it Is a single breasted frock coat.

Garbed in this innovation he appeared at the Queen's garden party and now all fashionable London is ordering the new garment and soon double breasted "frocks" are likely to be oddities. With the exception of the lapels and the fact that it does not button over, the coat is the same as the ordinary garment. The merits of the Prince of Wales' coat are said to consist in the fact that it is cooler and affords opportunities for displaying variegated vests. A curious story is told of a recent visit ot the Prince of Wales to Newmarket. He arrived there unexpectedly, took a cab and drove to the.

Jockey Club unrecognized. Cabby seeing his royal highness walking off, called loudly to a nearby policeman: "Stop that man! He hasn't paid his fare." The policeman at once recognized the Prince of Wales and was horrified, but the Prince was much amused and produced the money required. Heartburnings have been caused among the members of the Irish party by the presence of James Laurence Carew, Irish Nationalist, member for the College Green Division of Dublin, at the Queen's garden party. He was the only Nationalist who accepted her majesty's invitation and is a stanch Par nellite." In fact, he served four months in Killarney Jail, and for four days, in winter, was left "naked on a plank bed because he refused to wear prison clothes. He appeared at Buckingham Palace, Wednesday, immacu swindler.

"Seventh Municipalities will be ruled by the legal expression of the will of the people, and each province may name a representative delegate. These delegates may make known their desires to the American Civil Commission, which in turn will communicate them to the government at Washington and the latter will lay them before Congress. These delegates shall have the right to appeal directly to the administration and to Congress; there to make known their wantB. "Eighth The friars shall be excluded from administration of the Philippine Catholic Church." For such a peace propaganda to be acceptable to the Filipino people and more especially to the more stubborn element thereof, it must flatter them and appeal to their national vanity. They must be cajoled into believing that they are Insisting upon terms and stipulations from the United States government, that concessions are given them, that they are still an important factor in the situation and that their consent is needed to any settlement.

If Euch a peace programme as the above appeals to their vanity it has a much better chance of being accepted by them than were it a simple business proposition devoid of all sentiment. Hence Buencamino makes a show of asking much from the American government in exchange for the cessation of hostilities and the recognition of American sovereignty, while as a matter of fact, he does not ask for a single thing of any importance that the military adminis tration has not already accorded tne Filipino people. But the mass of the people do not know this, because what the American government has done for them has never been concretely written out and placed before their eyes. Buencamino practically recites what the United States has already done for the Filipinos and then says: "We will ask all this in exchange for peace," and the Filipino thinks those are pretty good things to have and that they constitute desirable and dignified terms of capitulation. So it is that the Buencamino document is written for the Filipino people and in that way argues for its quickest acceptance by them.

There are, however, one or two misleading statements in Buencamino's communication, notably that which says the condition of the Filipino laborer has bettered with the Increase of his earnings. It is true a laborer or other workman in Manila earns more today than formerly, but the increase in wage is in no way commensurate with the co3t of living, so in reality he is worse off than he was formerly. Speaking to a representative of tne Associated Press, Buencamino said: "There are three elements operating against peace in the Philippines to day. One is the friars who in the ultimate adjustment of the present trouble between the Filipinos and Americans foresee the final loss of their position and prestige in the country, as well as of their properties and wealth. I believe they seek to prolong the struggle in the hope that something may arise to secure their standing In the country, and I believe they are partly accountable for the recent rumors of a native uprising In Manila.

The second reason is the presence in Manila of certain hot headed Filipinos who persist in stirring up the people to continued discontent with the American occupation. The third Is the stiff necked attitude of the past military government in refusing to treat with the Filipinos except on the ground of total and unconditional surrender. They seem to have thought the oniy possible way to terminate our misunderstandings was by force of arms. If this new commission come here with broader and more liberal views. If they wil; approach the FKIpino people, or allow themselves to be approached by us.

with some little tact and some little diplomacy, if they will give the men in the the chance 10 surrender as men and as soldiers, to surrender and still be able to look their countrymen In the eye. to still relaln some honor, (and it would take such insignificant concessions on your part to make this possible). I assure you that peace will be a question of a few weeks only. Agulnaldo is still the leader and the Idol of the Filipino people. If your civil commission will give an official and legal and binding assurance to him that the individual and personal rights of th? Filipino people will be assured and protected, leaving the determination of their political status entirely to your Congress, peace wiii at once be effected." TRAVELERS TO NOVA SCOTIA.

Draper, United States Ambassador to Italy, arrived on the St. Paul yesterday. When asked to express an opinion on the Chinese question he said that when he left Rome diplomatic opinion was suspended. The supreme topic of general conversation, however, was that of the Chinese atrocities and public feeling was keen and bitter. When in Paris ten days ago he observed considerable public excitement, but he understood that both Paris and Rome would suspend any action until a full confirmation of all rumors was made.

Then he thought the powers would act in concert. General Draper is home on his regular vacation. He will remain in New York until Monday, when he will go to his home. Mrs. Draper accompanied him.

POWDERLY IN BROOKLYN. Spoke on Immigration Problems Last Night at a Meeting of the Advance Labor Club. The twentieth anniversary of the Advance Labor Club, now known as Local Assembly No. 1,562 of the Knights of Labor, was held last evening in the headquarters of the organization at 112 Court street. The principal speaker was Terence V.

Powderly, Commissioner of Immigration, and there were also addresses by Theodore Cochue, treasurer of the assembly, who presided at the meeting, Michael Heaphy, one of the charter members, and several others. Commissioner Powderly spoke with much feeling of the old days of the Knights of Labor and with equal emphasis of the immigration problem as an influence which the laboring men should take more seriously. Speaking of the original genius of the Knights of Labor as an organization Mr. Powderly said: "In those days membership in that organization meant more than to be true to one class or craft or Interest. Our members were bound to be true to all men, regardless of creed, color or present conditions.

We may have differed and had our quarrels here in our meeting places, but those differences were forgotten as soon as we passed the threshold and stepped out into the world. Then we began to act upon our pledge to uphold the hands of our brother members everywhere. "It is not so now and has not been so for years, but as I stand here to night before a remnant of the organization that took that vow I believe that the Knights of Labor justified themselves. I do not care to introduce the personal element, but I want to say that none of you has any idea of the feeling of loneliness that I experience when I realize that through no fault of mine 1 am now denied the right of claiming membership in this organization. All I can say is that I didn deserve me fate that was meted out to me." Mr.

Powderly then spoke with great earnestness of the immigration problem, especially that portion of it expressed by the coming here of aliens who have no thought of becoming citizens. He toid of being in a mining settlement in Pennsylvania recently and of being unable to find in a space of about two blocks a single person who could speak English. This, he seemed to believe, was one of the direct results of the alien contract system, and he contrasted the men who come to this country under such auspices with the old style immigrant who came here intent upon making it his home and ready to assume all of the obligations of citizenship. Mr. Heaphy, in his speech, lamented the stress laid now upon the importance of the trades union idea.

That spirit, he said, is entirely foreign to the broad principle of the universal brotherhood of all loboring men upon which tho Knights of Labor a 3 an organization was founded. He ascribed the weakening of the Knights of Labor to the return to trades unionism, and spoke with feeling of the effect, it had had upon such assemblies as No. 1,562. VISITED ELLIS ISLAND. Commissioner Powderly Yesterday Inspected the New Buildings.

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Taylor and United States Commissioner of Immigration Powderly visited Ellis Island yesterday to inspect the work of construction of the new buildings of the immigration service there. When they returned from the island Commissioner Powderly said that he thought the buildings would be ready for occupancy by October 1. Peter Laird. United States Commissioner of Immigration at Quebec, Porr. Levis, St.

John, Halifax and other Canadian points, also visited Ellis Island and inspected the new buildings. Secretary Taylor, when asked if the visit to Ellis Island had any connection with the recent investigation and report of the committee, said that the department regarded the investigation as a very one sided affair. He further said that the papers and documents in the case had been turned over to Solicitor of the Treasury Connell and that charges will be formulated against the various persons and sent to each of them, and that they will all be given full opportunity to answer. STILL A MYSTERY. Woman Discovered Injured at Pough keepsle in Male Attire Not Yet Identified Says She Is Josephine Adams.

Poughkeepsie, N. July 11 The Identity of the injured girl, who was found on Tues day night last lying on the country road dressed in male attlve, and who has since been under treatment at Vassar Hospital, has not yet been ascertained. The mystery surrounding the girl has been added to by the receipt at the hospital of a letter from George E. McNerney of 76 Franklin street, Port Jervis, N. in which he expressed the belief that the girl was his wife.

McNerney wrote that his wife left Port Jervis three weeks ago and that he had traced her to Newburgh. He gave a description which seemed to correspond with that of the girl in the hospital, and Dr. Bayley, the superintendent, wrote to him to come after her. This morning the father of the missing Mrs. McNerney, whose maiden name was Lulu Vangilder of Mattamoras, arrived at the hospital, and, upon seeing the young woman, said she was not his daughter.

The girl calls herself Josephine Adams, though it is not believed to be her right name, and refuses to give any other information about herself. She has some belongings wrapped in her handkerchief which she keeps in her hand almost constantly and which the nurses have not examined. Dr. Bayley expects that she will be able to be discharged on Monday, when Chief of Police McCabe will take charge of her and undertake to nnci out her identity. Her injury consists of a lame back from being run down by a wagon on the highway.

To ulght they attend the theater. Buencamino, Who Was Secretary of State, Submits Programme to Revolutionary Leaders. FRIARS OUR HARDEST PROBLEM. Must Lead Natives to Think We Are Making Concessions Much Depends on New Commission's Attitude. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Manila, P.

May 25 Felipe Buencamino. formerly Secretary of State in the Filipino government, surrendered to the American forces last December, fully expecting to be shot as soon as it was learned who he was. Instead of executing him, however, the American officer to whom Buencamino presented himself Invited the Filipino to share his supper of two eggs and a handful of rice, and the next day sent him down to Manila. Here he was confined for three months in the Avela Street Jail. Shortly before General Otis left for home Buencamino was released, and it was understood between Otis and Buencamino that the latter should devote his energies toward effecting peace between the Filipino forces and those of the United States and the recognition of American sovereignty in the Philippines by the Filipinos.

To this end Buencamino has composed a peace programme, copies of which have been sent to the prominent leaders of the revolution, both in and out of Manila, and it is the purpose of Buencamino to start the formation of a Philippine national party on the bases contained in this programme, a faithful translation of which follows: "As the present Filipino revolution Is a direct result of the Spanish American War, and as we have declared the United States to be the protecting power of our independence, it is impossible, in accordance with international law, for us to do without the United States in the matter of obtaining our national independence, because no country can enter into the concert of independent nations except in accordance with the rules of that law. "The proclamation of Emilio Agulnaldo, dated May 24, 189S the revolutionary help given by our troops during the war between Spain and the United States and the treaty of Paris, dated December 10, 1898, conspired to give to the United States the role of protecting power over the Philippines as well as that of the belligerent power to whom Spain sold all her rights for $20,000,000. And if to the foregoing legal deductions we add the fact that the United States have clearly shown their determination to intervene In our future, the impossibility of resisting their intervention becomes still more evident and clear. "It is possible that the United States, eventually weary of our present system of warfare, Tnay decide to sell ue to some other power, or else leave us to our fate; in which latter case it would devolve upon us to obtain the recognition of our independence from the nations of the world. This possibility Is fraught with the imminent danger that we fall victims to the ambitions of the great nations and become partitioned among them.

"Consequently, it is neceseary that we recognize the supremacy of the United States and strive to obtain, within the limits of the American constitution, the greatest measure of liberty compatible with our welfare. "The most predominant features in our past independent government were those immoralities and abuses which are the offspring ot our own ignorance and the vices inherited by us from Spain. "We succeeded in making the Filipino regime so odious to our own people that in the critical moments of our affairs the people showed us their hatred; they respected neither our Cabinet officers nor the persons of the mother and son of the president of the Filipino Republic, whom they sold to the Americans after first having murdered many of the leaders, officers and soldiers of our army; and they have robbed our government of its properties and moneys We require, then, the protecting power of the United States to prevent our national unity from destruction by those civil wars which, owing to the factional feelings and divisions arising from our immoralities and abuses, would undoubtedly obtain were an independent government established. "The conciliatory policy pursued by the American government, notwithstanding our marked hostility to them; the humane treatment of prisoners and their release from prison after short detention only; the Installation into public office of the more intelligent Filipinos; the increase in wages and the consequent betterment of the laboring classes; the liberal reform in our laws and the granting to our towns of a marriage and municipal law eminently democratic and such as we did not possess even under our own independent government all this has increased the sentiment for annexation to an extraordinary degree and to day there is among us the keenest competition for ail government employments. "Should the time come when our clashing interests will lead brother to fight against brother we will then, indeed, be unfortunate and to be pitied.

The Americans will dominate under these deplorable circumstances and we will be helpless. "If, notwithstanding our fleeting political dissensions, we can manage to preserve our national unity we will always be a respectable nation of ten millions of people and capable ultimately of obtaining our national emancipation; but, if we are divided by the i irreconcilable hatreds which lead to civil strife we will be nothing more or less than 1 a group of tribes, and we could easily be re duced to the level ot the nomau lgorrotes. "For these reasons we should cease hostilities with the United States and forma nation al party which, if we take advantage of the opportunities of the present moment, will al ways be the majority. "Another powerful argument for peace is the fact that in continuing our present system of guerrilla warfare we give an excuse for the bad element of our population to live by force of arms at. the cost of their more peaceful neighbors; under the guise of patriots these former take the Held, not to fight for our independence but simply to rob and enrich themselves, and brigandage is conse ouently prevalent.

The ill effect of such actions is already felt through the land and they have given to our cause a reputation foi HOW NICE IT WOULD BE IF THE Appetites Strik Terror to the Hearts of Cook and Quartermaster Sergeant. CAMP VISITORS NUMEROUS. Attempt to Be Made to Surprise Amity ville This Morning Beturn to Be Made fcy Boat Next Sunday. (Special to the Eagle.) Freeport, L. July 14 The Third Battery, which started on a hundred mile practice march this morning, arrived here, where the first stop was made just before noon.

Beyond a liberal coating of dust and a few horse shoes lost on the march the outfit arrived in as good condition as it was when it left the armory on Clermont avenue, Brooklyn. All hands were tired and hungry, but the work of pitching the tents was commenced at once. The camp ground is a two acre lot owned by Alexander Rhodes, deputy sheriff of Nassau County, and lies on the Merrlclt road, just below the railroad station. The first night's camp is always the hardest, for the men have to get the hang of things. First Lieutenant Chauncey Matlock, who is commanding the battery In the enforced absence of Captain Harry S.

Rasquin, directed the work of pitching three conical tents for the privates, a big wedge mess tent and three wall tents for the officers. After the tents had been pitched the camp cooks got in their fine work. They served dinner at 4 o'clock. It was a tired, hungry, but good natured group that crowded into the mess tent in respons to the call, and the way the hard tack, canned corn beef and coffee disappeared filled the quartermaster sergeant with alarm. After the aching voids had been filled the afternoon was spent in reshoeing some of the horses and in wandering about the town.

Swarms of green ilies had greeted the battery on its appearance in Freeport. They bit the horses and even thrust their bayonets through the clothing of the men. These pests, known and dreaded in this vicinity, kept the horses in a constant state of uneasiness until dark. Supper was served at 7 o'clock. Almost before the men could leave the mess tent visitors began to arrive from the village.

All were glad to sea the boys and did their best to make them feel at home. The villagers had expected a dress parade or a drill in the evening, but in this they were disappointed. Lieutenant Matlock, who will divide the command during the trip with Lieutenants Lorenzo M. Nickerson and Alfred T. Ives has decided not to begin drilling until the final camping ground is reached at New Suffolk.

There was not even a formal guard mounting, so the somewhat disappointed villagers after waiting around for awhile went home. The men have the freedom of the village so several of them spent the evening there. Dr. Crawford D. Beasjey.

assistant surgeon of the battery, was' detained in the city by business, but reached Freeport by train to night. He will accompany the battery during the remainder of its march. Captain Rasquin. although unable to go with his command, is keeping close watch over the work of his men, and is determined they shall make as good a showing as possible. He had expected to spend Sunday in the camp, but to day notified the lieutenant that he would be unable to do so.

Captain J. F. Ashley of Battery of the Thirteenth Regiment Heavy Artillery accompanies the battery as the guest of the officers. He is taking notes from personal observation tor' future use in his own command. In the evening former First Lieutenant E.

M. Chemedlin of the Third Battery, accompanied by Henry Royce and James Chemedlin, arrived at the camp on their wheels, from Amityvllle. They spent the night in the oaxnp as the guests of the officers. Mr. Chemedlin is a member of the firm of Lewis, Chemedlin Co, exporters, of Exchange place, Manhattan.

He has a beautiful summer home at Amityvllle, where he will entertain the officers of the battery to morrow afternoon. The Camp at Freeport has been christened Camp Allyn Capron, in honor of AiJyn Cap ron, late lieutenant in the regular army and captain In Roosevelt's Rough Riders, who was killed at San Juan Hill. Captain Capron was at one time a very popular member of the battery. A big crowd of bicyclists from the city is expected to visit the camp to morrow. Lieutenant Matlock intends to give them the slip by breaking camp at o'clock instead of 10 o'clock, as announced.

The next camp is to be at Amityvllle. The march there will probably take four hours, so that trip should be in position by 11 o'clock. As soon as the tents are pitched the entire battery will adjourn to the beach for a swim. AH the men are looking fonvard to this feature of the day. The camp there is to be called Camp Porter.

in honor of the late Major General Josiah Porter. The battery will leave Amityvllle Monday morning and march to Patchoguc, where tents will again be pitched. There the camp Is to be known as Camp Ashley, as a special compliment to the guest of honor. Captain Ashley of the Thirteenth Regiment, Heavy Artlilery. From Patchogue the troop will march to Rlv erhead, where it will spend Tuesday night in camp.

The final camping ground at New Suffolk, on Peconlc Bay, will be made direct from Riverhead. Barring accidents the battery should reach the grounds about the middle of Wednesday afternoon. Arrangements have been made for a stay of four days at that point. The camp will be dubbed Camp Rasquin, in honor of the battery's absent captain. The time spent there will be taken up In drills, skirmishes and extensive practice in field maneuvers.

The hills, valleys, creeks and meadows in that section of Long Island offer special advantages for this work, having in a small area most of the obstacles which would be apt to face light artillery in active service. The menu for the entire march will be: Breakfast Hard tack, beans and coffee. Dinner Hard tack, canned corned beef and coffee. Supper Roast beef, boiled potatoes, fried onions, rolls, butter and coffee. The same routine of camp work is to be followed from start to finish of the trip.

Reveille will be sounded at 4 A. M. Each private will spend the time from then until the breakfast call, at 5 A. in feeding and jrroorning the horse assigned to him. Dinner will be served as soon as tents have been pitched and the camp put in order for the day.

Supper from 6:30 to 7 P. will be followed by taps at 10 o'clock. Two men will stand guard over the camp, horses and stores. The battery will return to Brooklyn by steamer next Sunday. MAC ARTHUR'S CASUALTY LIST.

WARFARE IS THREATENED IF PLATT HIS SILENT Local Republican Leaders Worried Over State Organization's Attitude Toward Worth Boom. KNIVES UP MANY SLEEVES. So Par, the Veteran Senator Has Re fused to Interfere Britton's Strength Growing.

Local politicians are beginning to think) that the time is near when the state organization must take a hand in this county and say just how the situation here 'is regarded. If Senator Piatt or Chairman Odell does not soon come out for one of the candidates in the Fifth Congressional District, for instance, or at least make it known that the fight there is to be left entirely to the district leaders, there is gong to be a fight that may, as has been stated in the Eagle several times, take upon Itself a county character. If it becomes a county affair, then there will be a fight in the local organization that will be disastrous in a Presidential year. It is true that Senator Piatt has already stated that he is for Charles T. Dunwell.

He told Quarantine Commissioner Schroeder he was for Dunwell. Later he told a man of tho Surpless faction, who called upon him in the interest of Surpless that he had already indorsed the candidacy of Dunwell. But that was before Jacob Worth began to be so seriously. Now there is no doubt that I Jacob Worth wants the nomination and there i is not much doubt that he will get it unless1 the state organization interferes and evett I tlic it would be a toss up who won out. Senator Piatt has never really authorized) any interview on Mr.

Worth's candidacy. Chairman however, has said that ha admired Mr. Worth's work Tor theiparty 'and, incidentally, remarked that, while the siaFo organization was disinclined to interfere in. local Congressional there might bo some necessity for taking a stand in', this fight eventually. Senator Piatt absolutely refuses to discuss the matter aud always replies when questioned concerning the possibility of Jacob Worth's regaining control of the county committee: "You must excuse me, for I cannot tall! upon that question." A mouth more of that sort of thing, say local politicians, and there will be.

a pretty kettle of iish over here. A persistent declination to either deny or affirm the rumor that the state organization favors tho return of Jacob Worth will mean serious work for Timothy L. Woodruff if he sticks" Michael J. Dady. and that is What, he will probably do.

unless, as many of his best friends advise, he relinquishes the management of affairs here and simply hangs out a lightning roJ from his private residence while he goes out fishing. Michael J. Dady is not going to resign thfl chairmanship unless requested to do so by the majority of the executive a. situation that shows no promise of fulfillment at the present time. He is going right ahead with his work as if no such man as Jacob Worth ever existed, and is allowing no grass to grow under his feet, in spite of the fact that this is summer.

But so are the Worth boomers, and they, are working even more quietly than Dady. The local leaders were amused and then amazed when they learned that Assistant Postmaster Taylor had been requested to run for Congress. They were amused because the possibility of Taylor's succeeding in getting votes outside of his own district after his long rebellion against the local machine was out of the question from their knowledge of affairs; and they were amazed to find out that he had been asked to run as a dark horse, aud they wondered what was happening over here to bring about such extraordinary and mysterious developments. They would like to know just what is going on underneath all this curious state of affairs and the one question is "How does tne stato organization stand?" When Kings Counts Republicans begin to desire the state organic zation to express an opinion on local politics. In the language of the day, there is somoJ thing doing.

And now the fight for Congress Is become ing a pretty one in tne Sixth District, ini i formation has been received that GovernoB Roosevelt. Senator Piatt and Chairman Odell would rather like to see Colonel Britton noml natcd in order to let him work through his National Guard reorganization bill. Every one knows that Colonel Britton would havo passed his bill the last session had it not been that he laid it aside to permit the Interstate National Guard appropriation bill go through. His measure had the indorsement of the President, the Governor, ex Governon Black. General Corbin and other prominent officials Interested in the Guard.

When tho delay in passing the appropriation bill, which! finally went through owing to his efforts, prevented the success of his own measure, he told Colonel Dick, President McKinley'3 near friend and adviser, that he intended to go home and get elected to Congress just to hasten matters. He was surprised to receive the assurance that was exactly what was wanted. Now he is out for the race and says he is sure he has the majority of tho delegates in the Twenty second Ward. Ho does not fear the Atterbury boom and saya he wants to win only by his own efforts. "The time has gone by when three or foup leaders can agree upon a man and then nominate him," Colonel Britton said, "for tho Republicans like to choose their own candU dates.

I am going to be nominated." NEW FREIGHTER LAUNCHED. The American Takes to the Water Eroi Roche's Shipyard. Chester. July 14 The steamship Amer lean of the American and Hawaiian Line was launched from Roche's shipyard to day. Sho was christened by Mrs.
