When the lay conference met I had votes pledged from one third of the total delegation. My friends were young men. They were enthusiastic, but discreet. They did not nominate me as a 'regular' delegate, but only as a who might be admitted to make the lay and ministerial delegates equal in number. My friends who were looking after my interests frankly said to each candidate: 'We have no desire to antagonize the older men who seek the "regular" nomination.

We only solicit for our candidate one of the four places to be filled bj the "provisionals." "When the lay conference met to chooso delegates my friends distributed tbi'mselves throughout the room. Each one chose a seat between two other delegates, to whom this proposition was made: 'We have no choice for the "regular" nomination. We will vote for your two candidates for the "regular" delegation, if you will vote for our one "provisional." It was all square and above board and of course was successful. I led tho 'provisionals' with a handsome plurality." WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ITP" THE SENATOR EROM MONTANA ABOUT TllULDBEiWSlTE Ambitions of Sulzer and McClellan Cause Bitterness Among New York Congressmen. BOTH MAKING ACTIVE CANVASS.

President Deeply Interested in Having Culprits in Cuban Postal Frauds Relentlessly Punished. Eagle Bureau, G0S Fourteenth Street. Washington, May 16 There are two Democratic candidates for Vice President in the New York congressional delegation, and the fight for support that they and their friends are putting up is causing much interest and comment in political circles here. Representatives William Sulzer and George B. McClellan are the rivals, and although the men have been in the field but a short time they have managed to stir up considerable bitterness among their partisan followers.

There is also a dispute between the McClellan and Snlzer adherents as to which candidate has the indorsement of the New York Democratic organization. This support is claimed by both sides, but neither has yet produced conclusive evidence to show that he is the chosen man of the lecai organization. When Representative McClellan was told today that Mr. Sulzer boasts of having the indorsement of the New York organization iu his race for the vice presidential nomination, he merely smiled and remarked that Sulzer had been known to make claims before without having them, realized. While there is no doubt that both Mr.

McClellan and Mr. Sulzer are aggressive candidates for the nomination, neither wishes to be quoted in commenting on the race. Their campaigns are being managed by friends who have full power to get the pledges of support from the various South ern and Western states. Mr. Sulzer's friends claim that he has agents all over the country1 seme Is a necessity, because at this season the system is debilitated and run down, the blood is impoverished and impure, the appetite fails and there is danger from attacks of serious illness.

A mock congress held a special session at the Marcy Avenue Baptist Church last night, at 8:15. A gathering representing In caricature the prominent men in our national legislature and governing all the states of the Union assembled on the platform in the Sunday school room. There was an audience of five hundred to witness the proceedings and they were thoroughly delighted with the result. As speaker of the House Charles S. Cregan was dressed to represent a veteran soldier, with more than the usual number of medals on his breast, and minus one arm.

He governed the proceedings with an iron hand and an immense mallet, and decided questions offhand regardless of the vote of the members. As clerk, Alfred S. Buckman, who, with John Lansing Swan had written and arranged the session, kept the proceedings lively and Interesting. They were interspersed with witty allusions that amused the audience. Walter R.

Stout, as sergeant at arms, added to the fun in a large measure, especially by his frequent recourse to the telephone and his sallies over it with celebrities such as Hanna, Roberts and President McKinley. He was frequently in evidence in quelling disturbances in Congress and in bringing recalcitrant members before the barl Eugene V. Brewster, as the page, made a hit with his costumes and was kept busy carrying messages from the great men of Congress. The session occupied only an hour and a half but there was as much business crowded in it as in an all day session of the lawmakers at Washington. Every type cf politician was presented in caricature and often suggested by the names given to them.

The scheme was cleverly conceived, well executed and thoroughly en Joyed. The order of business included: Roll call: appointment? of committees; bill No. 1. "Newspapers:" bill No. 2, "The Weather:" petition.

"Miss Liberty:" bill A. "The American Housewife:" bill "Like Mother Used to Moke;" special message from the president: bill No. 5, "To Incorporate In the Marriage Laws:" amendments: debate: bill No. 3. "Foreigners Eligible for Presidency;" bill P.

"Proper Accommodations:" veto message from president. "Women Voting;" bill "To Increase Salaries." Those who took part were as follows: Speaker. Charle 3. Cregar, Massachusetts, Hon. Bunker Hill MacBean: clerk.

The entertainment was given under the auspices of the Young People's Association of the Marcy Avenue Baptist Church. "QUO VADIS" AT THE ACADEMY. Whatever may be the current opinion of the dramatic possibilities of "Quo Vadis," as compared with its acknowledged literary value, Brooklyn people were given a very fair opportunity to judge for themselves last night, for the production that has been evolved from Sienkiewicz' historical novel, as given at the Academy of Music, was handsomely staged and intelligently and conscientiously acted. For two reasons the play may have been expected to appeal preeminently to a Brooklyn audience: through the literary vogue of the book and the strong appeal to the religious sentiment which is supposed to strongly dominate this as a city of churches. That this last argument was not without its weight was demonstrated by the fact that rarely ever has a Brooklyn theater numbered among its audience so large a proportion of children on the first night of a production.

"The Sign of the Cross" and plays of a similar character have practically settled for a time mooted questions of the stage use of things regarded as sacred, and it is scarcely worth while at this late day to refer to that point, yet the large share which these matters have in the dramatization of "Quo Vadis" may be said to have affected last night's audience to an appreciable extent, in that the play was well into the third act before it received signs of approval, that continued and increased to the end of an extraordinarily long drawn out performance. The delicacy, dignity and reverence with which affairs of sacred import have been treated by the dramatist and placed as they are in the hands of capable people puts the production beyond criticism in this regard. The difficult task of portraying characters of which the admirers of a widely read work have formed previous and perhaps widely differing conceptions was delegated to a company whose work met with unqualified approval. If distinctions can be made, the honors of the night tell to Lauren Reese, whose portrayal of Petronlous was calm, dignified and forceful. Augustine Duncan's Vinicius, probably the most exacting part of a play in which action Is not a prominent feature, was an intelligent reading, marked at times by a slight crudeness of speech and gesture, but which found a warm place In the hearts of the audience.

What humor, like very wan winter sunshine, invades the piece was furnished by George S. Fleming's Chilo, a very capable piece of work, and Sidney Macey's Nero, the latter slightly reminiscent of certain mannerisms of Stuart Rob son. W. J. Schultz's Aulus and William Ennis' Ursus mot with approval, while William Farley made the most of the rather ungrateful part of Tlgellius.

Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the Lygia of Miss Whlteford, which, beyond a slight lacking in physical force, was perfect. The Countess Castlevecchia portrayed Nero's heartless spouse with all the jealousy, venom and hatred that that celebrated character was supposed to possess. Miss Stephens made a loving and lovable Pomponia; Miss Mabel Lyons an admirable Acte and Miss Martha Beaufort an attractive Eunice. Difficulties with the scenery somewhat marred the production and delayed the performance, but these defects will probably be remedied tonight. SIR EDWARD CARSON RETURNED.

London, May 16 Dublin University has returned Sir Edward Henry Carson to the House of Commons, without opposition, on his appointment as solicitor general, in succession to Sir Robert Bannatyne Flnlay. appointed to succeed Sir Richard Webster as attorney Colonel Mosscrop Makes an Interesting Contribution to Ihe Controversy Over a Story of the Civil War A Methodist Layman Who Is Hostile to Church' Politics; Another Who Pulls Wires. Coffey's Followers Get Together, but Do Not Seem Formidable. Of late a heated controversy has been conducted In congressional circles and in the news columns of the New York Sun over Barbara Frletchie and the poem which immortalized her name. Laving witnesses have come forward to say that Barbara did stand by the American flag when she was ordered to take it down by Confederate soldiers, whose anger was aroused by the display of our national colors from her window in Frederick during the Civil War.

Others have strenuously maintained that Barbara and the flag incident were no more than the creations of a patriotic poet's fancy. Colonel Thomas D. Mosscrop, a Union veteran widely esteemed in this community, makes the latest contribution to the controversy. Incidentally it may be said that in one of the fierce conflicts the war for the preservation of the Union Colonel Mosscrop was left for dead on the field of battle. After he had lain there many hours, suffering greatly from thirst and severe wounds, a force of Confederates came upon the scene.

A Masonic emblem pinned upon the wounded soldier's uniform caught the eye of Hugh Barr, a captain in the Confederate army. A few brotherly words were exchanged between them, then Barr carried the wounded man from the Held and made it his business to see that Mosscrop had the medical care and attention which resulted in the saving the Union soldier's life. When the war was over Mosscrop, then a captain, hunted up his rescuer, and the two former foes became warm friends. In the course of the correspondence that was carried on between them the Union veteran received a letter, of which the following is a part: Moorefield, July 5, 1880. "My dear captain Afer the lapse of one year I hasten to answer your most welcome and interesting letter, dated June 20, 1879.

"I was at Winchester on the 5th of June with my company, and had the honor of forming one of the commands of Virginia Battalion on the occasion, and am proud to say that my ensign carried the Stars and Stripes, which on more than one occasion, with my own hands, I kept from being trailed in the dust. "This was at Frederick City, Maryland, and I rescued a flag from some of the Mary landers, who went into a house and took from a lady a flag which she had made for her own satisfaction; they were about to roll it in the gutter and then drag it through the streets. I stepped forward and said, is this manly? Is it true bravery? Is it gentlemanly? No, no; none but cowards and fiends could act thus. The first one who dares to soil this lady's banner will receive a bullet through his heart. Shame on soldiers who make war and capture flags from women, and then say we captured them on such a battle field.

I took the flag from them and placed it in the hands of its owner. With tears streaming down her cheeks she gave me a thousand thanks, but her looks of scorn on those who would dishonor her flag I shall never forget. am a Virginian, and I was compelled by ties of honor to do her calling. This I did, and always believe I did what was right. If wrong, am willing to suffer the consequences.

"I spent last Saturday, one of the old fash ioned Fourth of Julys, calling' the old Blues and Grays to join with me and my company in celebrating the day, which was spent as our fathers spent it in the days when all the little towns were decorated with the Stars and Stripes flying from each and every housetop; drums and bands were playing "The Red, White and Blue," "Hail Columbia. Happy Land," and it is quite evident that the people here have forgotten that there was ever such a thing as war. "I am sorry that you could not be present, as all of my company would have loved to have met you. Yours very truly, "HUGH BARE." Chief Justice Lore, a lay delegate to the National Methodist Conference, now in session at Chicago, is credited with having said to that body during a recent discussion: "The lay delegates have a mighty mission to perform. I hold that there should be no machine politicians in the conferences and I believe that there are few fool reformers, but we should see to it that the delegates lay hands on politics and remove them from the church.

There is no room for political office seekers and we should let there be none. The office should seek the man and not the man the office, and the sooner we shall make It so the sooner will we secure better men for the high positions." At least one lay delegate from Brooklyn must have regarded the Chief Justice's declaration as a personal repropf for securing his seat in the conference by methods not unlike those pursued by ward politicians; yet several members of his denomination with whom the whiter has conversed say unequivocally that the reproof was merited. That there is such a thing as church politics, in which laymen engage, has long been the subject of discussion in church circles, but it was not until recently that a lay delegate to the Methodist Conference, at Chicago had the hardihood to publicly beast of his proficiency in church politics and the prize he won by wire pulling. This young man was asked how he happened to become a delegate, and he re plied in a chipper way: "Happen! There was no happen about it. I was elected because I wanted to go and said so.

I did not ask anybody in particular. I merely said to a friend, 'I would like to represent the Epworth Leaguers at the General He did the rest. He could not have succeeded, however, had It not been for my own preliminary work which had nothing to do with the General Conference. My business made it possible for me to visit nearly every town and village In the conference. I attended the league meetings and took quite an active part in them.

I made many friends among the young people. I ascertained who were the leaders whose Influence might be useful. I kept up the acquaintance with these leaders by means of personal correspondence. It took me about a year to cover the territory within the bounds of the conference. In that time I made friends in every important church.

When the time came to send representatives from the local churches to elect delegates to the General Conference I placed myself in the hands of my friends. I never asked an Individual to vote for me. I can take my place in the General Conference with my head up and can show as clean hands as any delegate In the wholo body. My friends somehow learned who were the leaders of the young people in various congregations who knew me. A kindly letter was written to each of these, calling attention to tho Importance of having the Epworth League represented at the General Confer once by at least one delegate.

My name was mentioned. The suggestion took Hko wildfire. Some of the oandidates wrote hundreds of letters and sent by the basketful circulars containing their portraits and glowing eulogies of their long service and generouB contributions to the church benevolences. I did nothing of the kind, because I had no need to do so. A few letters only were writ HOTEL ARRIVALS.

One of the deaths from those sources now outnumbering Sulzer advocates in speaking of tjie vice those from Filipino bullets.

A dispatch re presidencv said to the Eagle correspondents ceived to day from Manila, giving a list of to day, "I feel authorized to say that the casualties and deaths during the past week, Sulzer boom is a matter of no little conse noted a number of fatalities from pneu quence, and that the representative from the! monia, typhoid fever, malarial fever, chronic In the foregoing you have the candid and proud declaration of a layman who began to lay pipe for a seat in the conference one year in advance of the gathering. And when the lay conference met to chose delegates to tho national conference this young man's friends werei scattered about the room in seats where they could make bargains and trade votes in his interest. The most surprising feature of this declaration is the manifest pride with which this delegate tells how his friends made their bargains, and presumably deceived other candidates. If ho is not engaged in ward politics, he certainly possesses some of the qualifications essential to success in those fields. Senator Coffey and fourteen of his followers from as many wards met in the Clarendon Hotel last night to organize against the Willoughby street leadership.

Luke Stapleton i3 reported in a morning paper as saying among other things: "It is the purpose of the new movement to fight for the control of the county committee." One of the Willoughby street leaders said to the writer this morning in commenting upon the Coffey gathering: "The newspapers say that the leaders of the movement who were present were John Dunn of the First Assembly District; Martin Davis of the Fourth District, Warden Patrick Hayes, Fifth District; William Glynn, Sixth District; Assistant Corporation Counsel Luke D. Stapleton of the Seventh District; Councilman John J. McGarry, Eighth District; Senator Michael J. Coffey, Ninth District; Edward Kempton, Tenth District; Thomas F. Byrnes, Eleventh District; John Willoughby, Twelfth District; James Flynn, Thirteenth District; William O'Donncll.

Fourteenth District; Edward Walters, Fifteenth District; Dennis Sullivan and Robert Whalen, Eighteenth pistrict, and former Judge James F. Quigley, Twentieth District. Outside of Coffey and Hayes the men named do pot pretend to have any following of consequence among Democrats. Coffey is the strongest man in the crowd, and he came within an ace of being beaten by a hastily organized opposition at the last primaries. Quigley is an ex office holder, who was removed from his office, and went to the people for vindication.

The people threw him down. I think that Dennis Sullivan was in the Slocum movement when the cross town railroad was in politics, but I don't think he is authorized to say that the road is in politics now. The other fellows can't carry one end of their districts, and are for the best part unknown. We will be glad to meet them at the primaries." And this was said smilingly and with an air of complacency. Among the printed names of those who are engaged in this Coffey movement the student of local politics will look in vain for any that are indicative of an influence in this community even remotely approaching that exercised by Edward M.

Shepard, Charles J. Patterson, George Foster Pea body, General Slocum, John W. Flaherty, Augustus Van Wyck and others identified with independent Democratic movements of the past. If Coffey were to drop out of the new movement, or close his pocket book, it would In all probability come to a quicker end than even that predicted by the leaders of the regular Democracy. The weakness of this new movement would seem to lie in the fact that it appears to he more devoted to Senator Coffey than to "any principle calculated to call fcr the support of a considerable number of Democrats.

A college of journalism has been established in Cincinnati under the direction of Murat Halstcad. Instruction is given by mail. The course extends over a period of fifty weeks. It includes, to quote from a circular: "How to ple.lt up style and knowledge of news; the several processes of selection, condensation and display of news: the use of the scissors, tho rod, black and blue pencils; how to receive assignments; the way to Interview; the might there is In modesty; habits of looking at both sides of a question; the gulf between 'must' matter and tho waste basket."

to Havana and consented to assume the risks in question, provided the government would order an inspection of the various offices from time to time. It is said now that it was his suggestions to General Wood that led to the disclosures of a few weeks ago. The administration officials here believe that the worst of the frauds have been unearthed and that there will be no further serious developments. The secret service men, after being at work on a hard case for some time, have at last run to earth a counterfeiter who for the Counterfeit Money past four years has Fnrtv. rnta been engaged in man at OTt7 Lents ufacturing spurious 50 on a Dollar, cent pieces.

A fair imitation of a silver half dollar, although suspiciously light in weight, has been taken up in large quantities in Philadelphia, Baltimore and other eastern cities lately, and as they were all from one mold, the secret service men were put on the case. After some investigation the place of manufacture was located in the woods about half a mile from Havre de Grace, where Robert de Ren ick had a complete counterfeiting kit in a. negro's log cabin. He was arrested and taken to Baltimore, where he was placed in custody of the local authorities. It seems that De Renick had a regular business of furnishing customers with counterfeit coin.

soiling it at tne rate or 4U cents on a dollar. He made no attempt to pass it himself, but disposed of it in large quantities to confeder ates. It is known that he has been carrying "ii inese operations lor tne past four years, but no estimate has been made of the amount of money he has put into circulation. That the Filipinos still look for the abandonment of the Philippine archipelago by the Americans in the be Pilipinos Still Hope for Bryan's Elation. l.ef that William Jen nings Bryan will be elected President this fall, is evident from a report just received at the War Department from a United States soldier who was captured by the insurgents and then made his escape to the American lines.

Corporal Rufus Scott of Company Twenty fifth Infantry, was taken by the enemy several months ago at Orion, and after being in captivity for some weeks, he successfully made his way back to his friends. Corporal Scott states that among his captors it was a common topic of discussion that Germany would shortly step in and help the insurgents and that the latter had high hopes still that Bryan would be elected in November and thus cause the Americans to abandon the Philippines. 1 ropical diseases are now the worst foes of the Americans in the Philippines, the much, n.uercuiosis. varioia, peritonitis. abscess of the liver, gastro enteritis, etc.

DE. PARKER'S LECTURE. An Interesting Illustrated Description of Ireland's Beauties. Under the auspices of the Men's Union of the Church of the Good Shepherd, McDonough street, between Lewis and Stuyvesant avenues, the Rev. Dr.

Lindsay Parker, rector of St. Peter's Church, State street, last night, gave his celebrated lecture, "A Picturesque Tour Through the Emerald Isle," to a large audience. The parish hall was filled. Dr. Parker showed a hundred or more views of the famous resorts of Ireland, and in describing them in many instances used the rich brogue of the locality.

The lecturer told many stories to illustrate Irish wit and repartee, and there were very few minutes during the two hours consumed in the delivery of the lecture that the audience was not filling the room with laughter. Dr. Parkpr was particularly eloquent over the City of Dublin, birthplace, and the County of Mayo, but uiii uoie laiici as uescriceu to me auditors with unstinted praise of the hospitality and wit of its inhabitants, the beauty, of thescen ery and sweet manners of its women and lassies. No more entertaining lecture has been hoard in Brooklyn In a long time. Incidental to the lecture "Come Back to Erin," "Kathleen "Killarney" and "The Low Back Car." were sung by Fred Doughty, bass; Mrs.

Louise Humpstone. soprano; George Curtis, tenor, and Miss Julia Bickel, contralto. Colonel Alexis C. Smith made the announcements and introduced Dr. Parker, who also had a word of praise for Colonel Smith and the rector.

Rev. Dr. Robert Rogers, who, he said, like himself, was an Irishman, which, he remarked, was a fortunate thing for the Church of the Good Shepherd. GREAT AMERICANS. The Brooklyn Eagle has offerer a prize for a list of fifty great Americans, which shall be closest to that selected by the New York University fcr its hall of fame.

Out of 77G lists sent in 754 contained the names of Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. General Grant came next with a vote of 732 and Robert Fulton and Thomas Jefferson followed with 720. Longfellow was on 71S lists: Webster, on 714; Farraeut, on 706; Morse, on 61IS; Beecher, on 6O0; Greeley, on 686; Washington Irving, on 6S0. and the lendins names closed with John Quincy Adams who was oa 242 lists. It is a rather singular fact that John C.

Calhoun, Robert E. Lee and William Lloyd Garrison, each figured on 400 lists. Rochester Post Express ELIAS HOWE, JR. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: In your report of the vote in the Eagle of the 9th you give one vote for Elias Howe. which is mine, and 416 for Ellas Howe.

I claim greater accuracy in this respect than the others. The intent of the voteris Ellas Howe, the inventor of the sewing machine. When Applctons' Encyclopedia was published, in 1S63. he was still Ellas Howe, and as such is described through all the years of his struggles. It is a parallel case to another great inventor still living, who In all our books of to day, is still George Westinghouse, Jr.

Therefore. I ask that you credit my vote to its proper owmr. Howe was a successful man long before the jr. was dropped. JULIA W.

REDFIELD. Pittsfleld, May 11, 1900. CIRCUS MAN DEAD. Boston, May 16 Sheldon H. Barrett, general agent for Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers' shows, died last night of typhoid pneumonia at the United States Hotel.

Eleventh New York Congressional District will go into the Kansas City convention with a strong following. His name will certainly be presented as a candidate. I believe that if the Democrats are looking for a man who represents the principles for which William Jennings Bryan stands Sulzer is the one to fill the bill. In regard to the statement that Mr. McClellan has the support of the New York organization in his candidacy for the vice presidency I have only this to say: Mr.

Sulzer will have the solid vote of the New York delegation at Kansas City, as well as that of a number of otiicr Eastern states. That ought to determine whether or not the i local machine is behind Mr. Suiter. I do not believe that ex Representative Towne will be the nominee on the regular Democratic ticket. There is decided opposition to him in various parts of the country and by many ho is looked upon as a Republican with strong silver views." Some of the New York Democratic Representatives who were prnrr.inciH in the currency bill debate and who voted with the Republicans for the pass.ige of that measure, are managing the Meridian vice presidential boom.

They claim that the idea of nominat ing McClellan for the second position on ne ticket has met with considerable favor P.eorcsentntives from Southern Weste States. This is said to lie particularly the case with those Democrats who are anxious to free silver tn the rear and make the fight during the coming campaign cn live issues. The fact that McClellan has never been known as a bus. and that he voted against the adoption of tile goid currency bill, leads the silver men to look upon him as an eligible candidate for the vice presidency. Those who are charged with th management of McClcllan's boom say that his name will surely be presented for the second position in the Kansas City convention.

There is to be no delay in the course of meting out justice to Full Punishment for Guilty in Cuban Frauds. those guilty of frauds in Cuba. As soon as possible the extradition papers for sending Neely to Cuba will be executed. Gov ernor Roosevelt is to pass on this question to morrow, and unless habeas corpus proceedings are instituted in behalf of the defaulting treasurer, he will be on his way to Havana before ibis week is ended. No official in Washington has followed the development of the Cuban scandals more olosoiy than the President.

Every action that, has been taken from this end of the lino was only carried out after he had thoroughly reviewed the proposition and approved it. He has sat up late into the night studying tho papers sent up from Havana and 'is personally familiar with every detail of tho storv of "fraud. He and Postmaster General Smith have together reviewed the reports of the various inspecting officers, and both are determined that no official or civilian who is proven to he in any way involved in the embezzlements shall escape, rt is believed that, prompt action in detecting and punishing the offenders will go a great way toward relieving the general feeling throughout the country that the present administration in Cuba is corrupt in spots. It now looks as though the net losses to tho government will be fully 00.000. Although all the officers who have thus far been suspended from duty in Cuba were under bonds for the honest conduct of their oilices, only one is believed to have actually embezzled.

Neely's bonds were but and that is apparently the extent in which the government will be reimbursr! for his shortage. Tho bond of General was but $10, 000, and Hint of Vest master Thompson was $50 000. II developed to day that hud itnot been for the action of Governor General Wood the government would have recovered but 55.000 from Neely's bondsmen. I'ntil General Wood assumed the duties of governor general, Neely's bond was only $5,000. but General Wood thought that was insufficient and ordered it Increased from time to time.

In February of this year President Warfleld of the Fidelity and Trust Company of Maryland, the corporation that furnished bonds for Neely, Rathbone and Thompson, paid a visit Vienna: Grahen 13..
