RATCLIFFE MISSING. The Actor Left His Hotel and Cannot Be Found. Chicago, 111., July 2 Edward J. Ratcliffe, the actor wanted in New York, cannot be found He left the Auditorium hotel last night and it is thought he is in hiding. Acting Governor Northcott has decided to honor the requisition of the governor of New York for the extradition of Edward J.

Ratcliffe, now in jail in this city. Tbls decision was reached after a long hearing. Ratcliffe's attorneys opposed the issuance of tbe warrant on the ground that he was not a fugitive from justice and this point was argued at length on both side. Acting Governor Northcott held that Aat cllffe's departure from New York immediately after the commission of the offense charged was prima facie evidence that he was a fugitive from justice. This presumption was further supported, he held, by affidavits presented to the governor of New York and filed with the requisition papers.

BROOKLYN SAILS TO MORROW. Cruiser Visited by English Officials at Southampton. Southampton, July 2 The deputy mayor and sheriffs of Southampton, accompanied by the United States consul at this port, paid an official visit to theUnl'ted States cruiser Brooklyn this afternoon.

NO VOTE ON TARIFF BILL Can Be Reached Before Next Week in the Senate Wellington Says He Never Attacked McKinley. Washington, D. July 2 Managers of the tariff bill In the senate have no hope of getting the bill through the senate this week and now look for a final vote next Tuesday or Wednesday. The senate will be in session on Monday.

Senator Wellington (Md.) rose to a question of personal privilege soon after the opening of the senate to day and in vehement voice referred to publications concerning el conflict salld to have taken place yesterday before the committee on commerce. in relation to the appointment of A. B. H. Warner, as consel to Lelpslo.

The senator declared that the publication was so unjust that he could not allow it to pass unchallenged. It sougfc to Injure him with his constituents and to embroil him in conflict with Che President of tile United States. It was alleged that he had attacked President McKlnley, but this, to, he declared, was false. He was a free man and he reserved it to himself to criticise any appointment. Ho had done so yesterday in a respectful manner; should the occasion arise, he would do so again.

The senator said he was for the administration and had labored for its triumph, accomplishing a work In Maryland which he thought deserved some He had the right to expect the same consideration as that accorded to other Republican senators. After the stir; of tttia incident the tariff bill was taken up. Mr. White in behalf of the minority of the finance committee, asked Mr. Allison as to the programme on tea, beer the anti trust amendment and other important questions.

Mr. Allison responded that an amendment relating to the increase of the revenue to be derived from the hill would be brought In later in the day. As to other questions a little, more time was desired. llr. Teller inquired wihat ithe com mttee or caucus contemplated on the1 question of decreasing the tax on distilled spirits, In view of the letter written by the Secretary of the Treasury.

Mr. Allison answered that the whole question of distilled spirits had been gone over. Personally, he believed a lower tax would be productive of greater revenue, but he thought unwise to go into the complex question In connection with this 'tariff bill. Senator Thurston's Amendment. Washington, D.

July 2 Senator Thurston to day Introduced as a bill the provision prepared as an amendment to the tariff bill by the judiciary committee to prohibit trusts. The amendment was based upon a suggestion made by Senator Nelson, but was perfected by a sub committee consisting of Senators Thurston, Davis and Spooner. Count Okuma Promises That Japan Will Retaliate Victoria, B. July 2 Count Okuma, the prime minister and minister of foreign affairs of Japan, delivered himself as follows at Shizuoka recently with regard to the new tariff now being revised by American legislators: "Referring to the proposed customs duties I may say that it is a very important subject and bears upon the tea business of Shizuoka prefecture. I cannot make conclusive conclusions regarding the tariff, but I believe that the majority of the people of the United Stai'i are opposed to Its coming Into force.

"On account of the heavy duty to be imposed on tea and an equivalent duty will be put on our chief articles of export, such as silks, sugars and carpels. This is an un pleasant fact to face but there is no help for It. The proposed new tariff will affect Japan more than it will England, France and Belgium. It appears that the only course open is tp warn America that Japan and other powers will reciprocate by Imposing heavy duties upon her goods." CITY HALL TINKERING. The work of tinkering the City Hall goes merrily on.

To day proposals were openod for tho work conuoctcd with certain alterations to be made in the basement and second floor of the buildings. The lowest was that of C. P. Bond, at 44,831.

Because of his record and my belief that on him all foe opponents of Tammany would unite. In Brooklyn I believe he would have simply a walk over. When Mr. Low was first elected mayor of Brooklyn he was, I think, but 33 years of age. Whenever criticisms are made of his acts during his two terms as mayor, It is only fair to him to bear in mind that he has been growing ever since.

His connection with the new Charter commission would also be a great advantage to him in event of his election as mayor of Greater New York. SUICIDE OF A DOMESTIC. Olga Praub. 23 years old, a domestio in the employ of Emanuel Sohwab of 12 East Eighty seventh atreet, New York, was found dead in her room this morning. The gas in the room was turned on and it is probable that she committed suicide.

The girl had been with the family for a year. She had been worrying for a week over a quarrel she had told the housekeeper, lira. Nolop, that she had with a lover over some money matters. TENNIS CRACKS COMING. Four English Experts, Including the New Champion, to Visit This Country Other Sports.

Bedford of Trade Stirs TTp Lively Controversy! MINORITY MAKES TROUBLE. Some of the Members Object to the Enrollment of Women, but the Sex Has a Champion in Mrs. E. C. Tat bot Perkins, Who Is Undismayed by Threats and Is Confident of Vic tory.

'Many business men and one business wo man in the Bedford section of t'he city are just at present gratifying their taste for heal ill excitement to an almost limitless extent. In the words of one of the Interested persons, the Bedford section has not seen such lively times in years and the district 'board of trade Is entirely responsible for the new condition of affairs. A board of trade, under ordinary circum stances, is not calculated to stir up strife. but when it begins a combat with the pet principles of up to date woman mere is apt to be a claish. Generally speaking, the members of new Bedford board of trade are not opposed the enrollment of business women in the organization, but the few who do object have lately made their presence felt.

Just at present the number of women in the board is limited to one, because the opposition faction declared open warfare at last night's meeting and threatened to blackball the names of any women who were proposed for membership. The dissatisfied minority have furthermore attempted to oust the solitary representative of the gentler sex by pronouncing her election last month to be il legal, but Mrst Talbot Perkins, who is the only woman real estate agent in Brook lyn, does not propose to be ousted. Mrs. Perkins was seated at her desk in the real estate office on Fulton street, near Bed ford avenue, when an Eagle reporter called there this morning. She is quiet and pleasant spoken, but is capable if decisive utterances.

"There are some men in the said she, "who object to what chosen' to call petticoat rule. They say.that women may be able to control a church but they will take precious good care not to let them run a board of trade. An amendment was offered at last night's meeting, at which, by the way, I was tne only woman present, providing for the insertion of the word male in the clause relative to membership. They are trying their, best to discourage me, out I was one of the nrst signers of the original petition last April; they've accepted" my initiation fee and dues and I'm In the board to stay." "What objection have they toward you?" "Well, as a pretense; some of member's claim that the people who were elected at the June meeting, two. weeks ago, were not admitted according to the constitution, and last night they tried to reject the entire lot, myself Included.

Most of the influential members are In favor of equal membership rights. They that Is, we managed to elect over thirty new candidates before any decision could be reached, and with the increased power we carried everything before us and tabled the motion." "How did you know the new members would vote your way asked the reporter. "Oh, we sounded them beforehand," said Mrs. Perkins, "and with scarcely an exception they were in favor of women in the board. I think if I had kept still at the organization meeting, this trouble might have been averted.

But I didn't intend to keep still and when some of the members tried to pass a motion In an Illegal way, I got up and told them what they were doing. 'I've taken three courses In parliamentary I said, 'so I know what I'm talking Some of the men didn't like it and, then the began. A number of them argued that With women in the board the men couldn't smoke or tell stories at the meetings and beside motion that a woman made, they said, would be carried anyhow, whether it was good or bad. "To prove the truth of the final statement I made a 'motion at last night's meeting petitioning Mayor "Wurster to have Albany ave nue asphalted from Fulton street to Eastern parkway, as a relief for Bedford avenue. The board voted no, saying 'that if traffic In Bed ford avenue was so dense that people couldn't cross It.

the Increased crowd would benefit business. I don't mind, though, and only speak of it as an illustration of how they carry a woman's motion. "A committee has been appointed to con alder the proposed amendment designed to debar the women from membership and they will report in August. There will be some lively times at 'the next meeting, but I'm going, as I always intend to. The anti female faction needs a two Jthird vote to pass that amendment and they can't get it." Continuing, Mrs.

Perkins told the reporter that there were a number of business women in the locality who were willing and anxious to benefit their trade by connecting themselves with the board. "The organization will never accomplish mucb," she declared, "until there is some evidence of harmony. The woman question is not the only one which provoked trouble. Frank H. Tyler, was elected temporary president, was succeeded at the June meeting by E.

A. Roby. Mr. Tyler accused Blisha West, a hatter across the Btreet, with having padded the meeting with people who would never attend again in order to secure Mr. Roby's election.

Mr. West was anxious to have an Interview with Mr. Tyler last night, but the latter did not appear." Elisha West is an elderly man who talks with deliberation. He. warmed up, however, when speaking of his fellow, citizen, Mr.

Tyler, to the Eagle reporter. "I came all the way from Port Jervis to see Mr. Tyler last night," said he, "and would have given $5 to have had him at the meeting. I wanted to confront him in open session with the accusations he had made concerning mo, but he wasn't there and when I publicly mentioned his name, his friends raised objections. You can rest assured, however, that I'll bo on hand in August if I have to travel 100 miles." "What Is your oplmon concerning the admission of women to the board, Mr.

West?" asked the reporter. "I can tell you that quick," answered the old man. "If a woman next door to me selis dry goods or groceries or anythlnng else, she has every bit as much right to belong to the Bedford Board of Trade as I hove." As a matter of information for those mem hers of the Bedford board who do not know her, if there aTe any such, It may be related that Mrs. E. 3.

Talibot Perklns is president of the Bedford Political Equality League and for three years occupied the secretary chair of the Women's Suffrage Association. DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL Results in the Discharge of a Beer Bottler's Association Case. Counselors Frank X. McCaffry and Charles M. Stafford had a lively tilt In the Myrtle Avenue Police Court this morning over tbe right of a trial by Jury, which the former demanded for his client, William Loebelcntz, charged by the Beer Bottlers' Association with using battles to which he had no right.

It seems that Loebelentz decided to change from the Eastern Brewing Company to that of the Claus Lipsius Company, and before he had time to turn In all of the bottles, so he claims, the former had him arrested for using some of their bottles. Lawyer' Mc Caffry. who appeared for Loebelentz, demanded a trial by jury, saying that since the penalty for such an offense might be a term In jail' he had that right. This Counselor Stafford, the representative of the Beer Bottlers' Association, denied and there was an Interesting argument on the constitutionality of the' question. Judge Teale finally decided In favor of the trial by Jury and then Stafford said that he would not go en.

Consequently, when McCaffry moved for a dismissal of the case, the motion was granted. This Is said to be the first case where a trial by Jury was demanded in a case of this kind. Hitherto It has been the practice of those charged with this offense to plead guilty, as there was no escape If the facts charged In the complaint were true. FULL WEIGHT COAL. Inspoctor E.

Columbus, July 2 A general strike of miners of the United Mine Workers of America has been ordered for July 4 by tbe National Executive Board, whose headquarters are in this city, and also by the District Presidents, as the result of a meeting held here June 24, 25 and 26. The official document ordering the strike begins as follows: the Mine Workers of the Country, Greeting: "Fellow miners At the last annual convention of the United Mine Workers of Ameri ca, held in the City of Columbus, January 12 16, 1897, it was determined that the scale of prices should be advanced to the following rates: "Pennsylvania (Pittsburg District), pick mining, 69 cents per ton; Ohio, 60 cents per ton; Indiana (bituminous), 60 cents per ton; Illinois (Grape Creek), 55 cents per ton. Machine mining to be paid three fifths per ton of the price for pick mining, except. In Indiana (bituminous), where the price shall be four fifths per ton of the price paid for pick mining; other mining sections a corresponding increase In price that will place them on a relative basis. It was further agreed that the time for enforcement of the scale be left with the national executive board and the district presidents to determine when it would be most opportune to put this scale Into effect." The document then urges unanimity and fidelity among the members.

"The signs of the times, the paper says, "as pointed out by the press and by the testimony of men versed In public affairs, are that business is reviving; that an upward tendency in prices of all com modities is apparent. In the general business revivll ana industrial improvement' which is earnestly proclaimed, we ought to share, and If we do not attempt so to share, we shall be false to urselves and those dependent upon us. "Let the watchword be," says the circular, "mlneworkers are entitled to a fair day's pay for a fair 'day's work. Local committees are directed to be formed and to see that action is taken at once. The field Is large and it will be in impossibility for the national and district officers to attend to all points, consequently local leaders are urged to assume the responsibility and authority for the successful consummation of our desires.

"To insure success care should be exercised. bjt all that no breach of peace occurs at any tlmeVor place, or under any circumstances. BulIItlns will be Issued from time to time to keep you informed of the progress of affairs." The national executive board is composed or Fred Dilcher, R. L. Davis, J.

There seems to be no doubt but that the delegates will come instructed to.aeclare a strike. The Situation in Tennessee. Chattanooga, July 2 The situation In the East Tennessee and Southern Ken tucky coal minig section is rapidly becom ing very serious.

There are now over two thousand idle men in the Jellice district and nearly the same number along the line of the Cincinnati Soutnern Railroad. These men struck on May 1 and have done no work since. All efforts to settle the strike have proved unavailing and It is now admitted that none of the mines can be operated for several months. ANOTHER FOR MRS. W0RRALL.

Business of the State Oon.ventIon,Bnshed to Give the Delegates a Chanoe for an Outing Proceedings of This Morn ing's Session in New.Yorlr Brooklyn Pr ofessors The Convention Closes Tormorrow. "Be sure and finish at noon, so as to have time for the excursion," was the watchword this morning at the convention of the New York State Teachers' Association at the "Nor mal College, Sixty eighth street and Lexing ton avenue, New York, and In consequence programmes were shortened, papers being omitted in several instances, and done so that be tout of town attendants might avail themselves of the.

courtesy of the tgache. ers of Greater New York, In'providng'aBail up the Hudson a short distance and then down the bay There was the same large attendance asj at the previous The music was exceptionally fine. A class of girls was heard in a couple of interesting selections followed by' two classes of boya from grammar schools who sang remarkably well and another class' little girls sang two selections without any. accompaniment. All the children were encored and a solo wa also given by Miss Belle Van Riper ir.

'M. Augusta Bequa of New York jread an instructive paper on "Physical Training," which was followed by discussion by Miss Ada 'Francis Tbayer of Syracuse. An adjournment was then taken for section meetings. The music, kindergarten, normal, manual training, herbartian, nature study, child study, elocution, grammar and primary sections held meetings and there was a blgh school congress. At the meeting of the kindergarten section a feature the programme was a paper on "Kindergarten Methods In Primary Work." by Miss Mary H.

Waterman of Brooklyn. "It Is the spirit of the school makes the transition from the kindergarten; tot th grades beyond possible," Miss Waterman said, "as the same principles underlie both phrases of work. And when kindergartners and primary teachers have a knowledge of these and use the developing method ther will be unity and continuity in all work." Miss Waterman made reference to the effect of environment In the work and' added Uhat the aim of the teacher should to give exercise to self activity and to develop creative power so that the pupil may not only create things, but develop his own characters. The liigh school congress was one of Hie most interesting of She day's The art of expression was ohe subject forj con sdera tlon. PaDerswere road by Superintend ent J.

O. KIgg3 of Plattsburg ana Professor Bralnard Kellogg ttre Polytechnic "Institute, this city. The lakter'e subject waa "Essay Writing in High Schools. iJ Professor Kellogg Talks of in High Schools. Professor B.

Kellogg said In part: "There are two things be secured by the writing of essays ability to think and ability express the thought. Of these two thinking is chief. It is the highest" act which the human intellect, is capable, and discipline It compels is the highest of which the intellect is susceptible. J.ust. now there is' great need to emphasize this' for we are so engrossed with the expression of rthought that we are paying little attention to; tbe getting of thought to "In the ''of thought is.

constantly involved. We express our thought in order to communicate it, to lodge In another's mind the thought' that is. in pur own." We must not, then, through a careleSB choicV" of words or. slovenly arrangement of tbem, fail to communicate a thought exactly, our thought. And we must not compel the reader to search for it.

We should, In Spen cer's phrase, save the reader all waste of intellectual energy. A vast field for the pupil's thoughtful activity is thus opened, to him in the selection of the right words and In the right arrangement of them." The speaker believed that the pupils In high schools should be instructed and exercised in those qualities of style also, that are not exclusively In the service of the thought such as minister to taste 'and create the liveliest enjoyment monopoly of 'these should not be left to college trained men and women. Professor Duncan Lee of Cornell spoke on "The Teaching of Public Speaking, in Hie Secondary Schools." Owing to want of time Professor W. A. Mc Andrew of Pratt Institute, who was to have spoken on the radical spirit in education, was obliged to omit his remarks, as.

was also Professor Raymond of Union College Ms speech on "Modern Practices in Education." Charles Dudley Warner was down 'the topic "Examinations and Their Results'; but in the five minutes allotted to hini he, flaid he could not possibly discuss the. and simply dwelt on the machine' like style of education that was fostered 'by too great use of text books. This kind of education, he said, resulted in superficially and commonplaceness. The grammar section was In jot Principal Edsell of this city and the topic for the day was "Gradation and Promotion of Pupils," with discussion led by Principal Fred Lane of Long Island City. At the meeting of the Art Association there was a round table discussion followed by a paper on "Corrpositioh and Figure Drawing In Upper Grades," by Victor of the Manual Training School, this city.

He. said in part: Victor I. Shinn's Essay on Composition and Figure Drawiny. Composition is not conventional arrangement, symmetry or repetition of parts so commonly understood as such, but the "best, the most powerful form of expression. 'The Inventive function being most active in child hood and youth the problem Is to establish self expression with the beautiful as the highest standard and to do It broadly.

regard to method, tie speaker should be a developing process by which the mind and artistic feeling' may 'btf "exercised in discriminating efforts and 'as "tins pupil advances he will feel the 'increased power of expression. The technique will take care of itself. But that which the pupil does study must be made part of himself, so that he may give It but again with the Impress of hU personality stamped thereon. Great technical ability, said Mr. Shlnn, Is of but little value unless ueed to give expression to Ideas.

The next step after acquiring, free expression through drawing is to develop ipnrpt form without making and attempt at dra wjng, the object being to express characteristics through the aid of memory and personal impressions and bring about drawing, hot from, but about form which is termed illustrative drawing. Speaking of voluntary Btudy of form Mr. Shlnn said that the object must be placed before the student long enough for him. to fix it in his mind and then require a drawing from memory, the object to include ihuman and animal as well as still life. In composition children may be led by to place their drawings of objects In the.

niost effective positions, and then lead to the'stiidy; of design. At 12 o'clock all sections adjourned' "and left at once for Pier No. 1, where the ecurr sion steamer was In waiting. It waa, suggested at the general meeting of the that the eNw York teachers should not try to go on the excursion, but leave ail "the, room for the visitors. At the ever, there was no dlstlntion made and an extra steamer was secured for.

a sail to Coney Island for those who were unable go, with the regular excursion. This evening Ordway Partridge" anji' 'Dr, Conroy will be the speakers and the convention will close with a' business meeting tomorrow morning. J.
