New Haven August 13 The differences existing in the Democratic city organization by reason of claims that there are two city committees, one called the "old" coramittoe, because its tenure of office may not have expired, and a "new" committee, chosen by the Now Haven members of the State Central Committee, has reached the courts, the latter committee securing an injunction this afternoon restraining the "old" committed Irom attempting to transact party business. The differences are the outgrowth of factional contests of long staudtng. The matter is brought to an Issue at this time, as the City Registrar of Voters alleges he is unable to determine which is the committee to which he should deliver a list of Democratic voters for use in forthcoming caucuses which will select delegates to the State convention.

Prominent Democrats of the state have tried to settle the controversy, and It la claimed that the Deniocratto National Committee has had its attention called to the situation existing here. A hearing on the injunction will be held next week. TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF. Emile Hirshfeld, Passenger on La Tou-raine, Slashed His Throat While Steamship Neared Port. Emile Hirshfeld, 38 years old, who lives at 2,239 Sutter street, San Francisco, a first cabin passenger on the French line steamship La Touraine, attempted suicide this morning by cutting his throat as the vessel was nearing port.

From a note which the man wished delivered to his brother, Albert, it appeared that he was haunted by a fear ol insanity, aud that he had been in ill health for some time. He appeared to be despondent during the trip, and hl3 act ended a voyage during which he had "but little to say either to the ship's officers or to the passengers. This morning about 5 o'clock Jaques Aaron, of ban Francisco, who occupied the next room to Hirschfeld. became aware that some one was persistently pounding on the wall separating the rooms. He soon satisfied himself that something was wrong apd noti- wound in his throat, and as he sank to the iloor he said to Mr.

Aaron: "You see I have done it." There were calls for the doctor which aroused many of the passengers, and finally after Dr. Letollier had dressed the wounds the man was carried down the long gailey to the sniP's hospital. This afternoon when the TCBSB1 reacnea ncr uock, tne puysician loiu Ul(J CUBtomB mPn that the condiUon waB ao seriou9 tnat 1( they wamed to examine him It must be at their oWu responsibility.

Alfre(J went at onco to the ship's doctor, who after givins his brother's condition took him to the ship'H hospital. After the brothers had been some time together Alfred came out with a friend named Kaufman. He would not talk about his brother, except to say that the latter was perfectly sane. San Francisco, August 13 Emile Hlrsh-fi ld has a mother and a brother living In this city. The latter left for New York some days ago In response to a telegram received from the would-be suicide, in which the latter complained of beingvery ill and requested the brother to meet' hira In New York.

The mother stated that her son was a jeweler in Paris. i SAID THEY STOLE FOOD. I H'Jtel Steward Said Women Took 1 Banana, 3 Oranges, 7 Raw Potatoes and 10 Ears of Corn.

liaglc Job Department I titii I I'mr FOUND YANKEE MURDERED. Body of Henry Miller, of Cruiser Olym-pia, Found in French Resort. Villcfranche, France, August 13 A party of fishermen recently found the body of an American sailor in Vlllefranche Roads. An examination showed that both eyes had been destroyed and that the body was covered with bruises and other wounds. The body, which was clad only in bathing tights, is thought to be that of Henry Mitchell, a stoker of the cruiser Olympia, flagBhip of the American European squadron, who has been missing since August 5.

Mitchell, it 1b believed, ewam ashore wearing only tights and with a belt containing money around his waist and was waylaid and beaten by thieves, who threw him into tne wator before he had ceased to breathe. The American vice consul in Nice has cabled to Admiral Jewell (commanding the European Bquadron at Smyrna) requesting a description of Mitchell. Charles Bolfe, described as an engineer ot the cruiser Baltimore, was found August 7 In the Rue Papon stabbed in several places. He was, however, able to sail with his ship when the squadron departed for Smyrna. SHOOTING IN A BLACKMAIL CASE.

INCIDENT PRACTICALLY CLOSED. Some Impatience in Paris at the Alleged American Interference In European Affairs. Constantinople, August 13 The Issues between Turkey and United States were arranged to-day to the satisfaction of both governments.

Washington, August 13 An answer was received to-day from the Turktsh government which Is regarded as satisfactory. To make sure that there will be no misunderstanding as to the agreement, the State Department embodies Its own construction of that agreement In the last chapters of the correspondence. There has been some delay In tho exchange of cable messages and the last word may not be said until Monday. Meanwhile Admiral Jewell's fleet will remain at Smyrna, awaiting notice from Minister Leishman. It may bo said, however, that the Incident Is practically closed with a victory for the State Department on all points.

Paris, August 13 Popular opinion betrays some impatience at the alleged American interference in European affairs, holding that the Monroe Doctrine should cut both ways. Bey, Councilor of the Turkish Embassy, in an Interview, says the American missionaries are a source of discord tn the Turkish dominions, owing to their espousal of tho cause of the Armenian agitators. In regard to the raising of the American Legation at Constantinople to embassy rank, Naby Bey says he fears that this would encourage the United States to meddle In Turkish affairs on the same footing as the other powers, and be expresses doubt as to whether the European powers would approve of ouch a consummation. St. Petersburg, August 13 The Bourse Gazette, commenting on the relations between the United States and Turkey, expresses the opinion that the situation is likely to complicate the already complicated task of preserving peace and quiet in the Near East, declaring that this view Is shared by all thoughtful people In Russia.

The paper also alleges that tho Armenians naturalized In the United States, for whom the United States Government seeks greater privileges, constitute an extremely faithless element in Turkey, thus accounting for the stubborn resistance of the Porte.

TYPO CONVENTION CLOSES. Decision Upholds Discharge of Incom petent Compositor by Foreman in New Orleans. St. Louis, August 13 The work of the fit tloth annual convention of the International Typographical Union, which adjourned sine die to-day, resulted In the complete revision of many of the general laws embodied In the constitution that will have far-reaching ef feet on the printers' trade. The action favoring the eight-hour day stands out pre-eminently.

If the referen dum to which this proposition has been sub nittted for final decision concurs with the convention, as the delegates believe it will 45,000 union printers throughout Canada and the United States will be affected. It is provided that the law shall go Into effect on January 1, 1906, and a fund Is to be raised by assessment to pay the expenses of a strike if it should be found necessary to resort to such a measure. After a lengthy discussion the convention sustained the decision of the executive coun ell, which decision upheld the action of a mew urteans foreman in discharging a printer on the grounds of alleged incompetency. The delegates who opposed the decision as serted that the printer had been discharged because of personal feeling. Information concerning the decision of the executive council had been eent to every subordinate union In the country by the Now urleans union, and the action of the con vention Is of Interest to every union print Ing office in the land.

The convention's action establishes precedent, which, It Is said, will make 1 necessary for a man working In any depart ment of a union printing office to be abao Jutely competent to perform the work re quired of him. HE WAS A WEATHER PROPHET. Man Had "Noises" In His Head When It Was Going to Storm. A man who gave his name as Anthony Barnesky, 34 years old, of One Hundred and Seventy-fourth street and Webster avenue. the Bronx, was arrested yesterday afternoon at Van Cortlandt and Ollsse Park avenues, the Bronx, and removed to Bellcvue Hospi tal, where he was placed In the psychopath lo ward.

The man was noticed acting peculiarly and Policeman Johnson went to him and asked htm what the matter was. "I am a weather prophet," he replied "There Is going to be a horrible storm know It; I can tell It by the feeling In my head. I am a human barometer and I can tell when we are going to have clear or stormy weather." The sun was shining brightly at the time that this statement was made and the police man asked the man how be was able to tell that the change wss going to take place. 'When we are going to have clear weather. there Is no noise In my head, but when a storm Is approaching, the noise is loud and boisterous." An ambulance was summoned from the Fordham Hospital and the man was removed to the Kingsbrldge station, and later taken to liellovuo Hospital.

STRANGE POISONING CASE. Two Men Drank Stomach Medicine. Doctors Find That It Contained Belladona. Leo Traroontano, yean old, a shoe maker, of 364 West Fifty-third street, snd Mlsia Falconarla, 33 years old, of 829 West Forty-elghtb street, are In the Roosevelt Hospital suffering" from what the doctors believe to be belladonna poisoning. The cr.use of the trouble Is said to be a decoction made by Tramontano yesterday, which both he and his workman drank as remedy for a disordered stomach, and which the former at the time believed to be malva leaves.

Malva leaves are said to be a regular home remedy of Ihe Italians for stomach disorders. The police claim lo have learned during their Investigation that Ihe material from which the drink was made by Tramontano was contained In a small paper package, and they say Tramontano told them that II had been given to him a year ago by a friend, a woman who Is reported to live at Third vi nun and Twenty-slsth street, Brooklyn. An Investigation la to bn made along these lines, and Ihe police of Brooklyn have been asked to assist In locating the woman. At the Roosevelt Hospital last night It was atated lhat a chemical analysis of ihe contents of the men's atotnaeha had been made, and lhat traces of belladona bad been found. It was also staled that both patterns were greatly Improved and that they would recover.

Retail Meat Dealers Will Have a Con ference With Harrison on Monday. Chicago, August 13 Typhoid fever, which threatens to become epldomlo among the strikers' families In the district west of the stock yards, is now feared in the ranks of the strike breakers.

Tony Brooks, a non-union workman at the Armour plant, haB been removed from his home to a hospital suffering from the disorder. A man and a woman employed as strike breokers at the Swift plant were removed to hospitals to-day suffering from ailment sup posed to be typhoid fever. The man, Domlnlck Dcpolar, Is an unmarried laborer recently brought from Pittsburg. President Donnelly to-day received tele graphic notification lhat a settlement had been reached with the Nebraska Packing Company, Nebraska City, Nebraska, through which over 500 union men returned to work after a lockout of more than a month. Union recognition and other points demanded by the union are said to have been granted.

The Nebraska Packing Company Is one of the larger Independent concerns. The resumption of work at this plant would Increase the Independent union output of beef and provisions materially. The conference between the retail meat dealers and Mayor Harrison, which will have for Its object the securing of Mr. Harrison's Intervention In the strike has been postponed until Monday. Secretary Archibald of the Meat Dealers Association, said to-day that the postponement Is not due to any new developments in the strike situation, end there was nothing covert back ot it.

The chango of the time of the conference, Mr. Archibald said, vas at the re-Quest of the Mayor. The secretary said also that between now and the conference time there was no Intention on the part of the dealers to meet either the packers or tho strikers. Announcement that Mayor Harrison will be acceptable to the striking butchers as a mediator caused considerable comment in view of the fact that the Chicago Fedoratlon of Labor has declared the Mayor "unfair." President Donnelly said; "It is Idle to hold that this strike is none of Chicago's buslncsa that the contending parties must settle their own differences; Chicago is vitally concerned morally, economically, clvlcally. Our 15,00 unskilled workers have been earning cents an hour for an average of thirty-five hours a week.

This gives to them a weekly wage of (6.50. This wage, wretched as it is fur an American family to live on, the trust now purposes to reduce to $3.50, the wage they paid four years ago. Chicago cannot afford this reduction." The packers to-day made public figures to refute President Donnelly's claim that tho average wage of the men Is only S6.60 a week. According lo the packers' compilation the average wage In the killing department was 39.46 a week. In other departments where the men worked from five to fifteen hours longer each week the wages were between 310 and $12.

Secretary Dean, of the Chicago Market Wagon Drivers Union, said to-day: "No meat from the big packing companies will be hauled by members of Market Wagon Drivers Union after to-morrow. At our meeting to-morrow the drivers for retail grocers and butchers will be Instructed not to handle any meat from these companies, or their warehouses. They will not naui non-union moat from the cold storage warehouses to tho markets or make deliveries to homes of families patronizing the retail men who deal tn the unfair products." There was much excitement to-day wnen a Lake Shore train bearing several hundred strlko breakers who left the yards to spend Sunday outside, struck several torpedoes. The strike breakers thought tbey had been attacked, and began shooting. The panic resulted in Injury to no one and no arrests were made.

Discovery was made to-day that four of the largest packing companies affected by the strike are operating without a license from the City of Chicago. Approval of all licenses to slaughter muat be made by the Municipal Health Commisalonor. The strikers are hoping that the absence of licenses may probably have a bearing on the success of Mayor Harrison's attempt to Intervene for a settlement of the strike. The report of Chief Commissioner of Build ings Williams, and Commissioner of Health Reynolds regarding their Investigation of stock yards conditions was sent to Mayor Har rison to-day. Mayor Hurrison declared that he would not make tho contents of the report public until he received a legal opinion on It, which probably will not be until Monday.

It la understood that the report con tains some startling statements as to stock yards conditions, but aa to recommendations, Commissioners Williams and Heynolds have none to make. Chief of Police O'Nell and Police Inspector Hunt, who has direct charge of Ihe Block yarda district laid formal charge before the Mayor his afternoon against justlro John Fitzgerald, who It la rluiincd by Ihe police has dlachsrged the great majority of lha rlotera brought before him, no mutter how atrong the evidence against them might be. He yeaterday, the police claim, discharged twenty out ol twenty-three men brought be fore blm. The Mayor sent a summons lo Justice Fitzgerald, calling upon him lo ap pear at Ihe city nail ami answer the charges mado against him. The Justice failed lo appear during the afternoon and will be railed upon Monday.

The Justice declared lhat he waa doing his utmost to render fair decisions but Ihe police claim lo have niuib evidence against him. BUSY IN HOMESTEAD. Pittsburg.

TO VISIT THE FAIR IN THE FALL Politics Will Be Eliminated, but There Will Be a Reception, So That Western Democrats Can Meet Him.

Esopus, N. August 13 Judge Parker his determined to take a rest from politics for a couple of days, and to that end will go to a mountain club In the Catskllls to spend to-morrow and Monday. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Parker. The club Is known as the Wlnnlsook, and Is situated at the foot of the Slide Mountain.

It was organized twenty years ago with Judge Parker as its first president. The annual meeting of the organization, which will be hold on Monday, furnishes the occasion for the visit. Members of the club had planned a big dinner, and they expected to be addressed by Judge Parker, but the Democratlo candidate convinced them It was recreation and not work he desired. Consequently the dinner will bo postponed until the evening after Judge Parker and Mrs. Parker have left.

ThlB eliminates politics from the outing. When the club was formed It controlled about 1,200 acres. The reserve has not been enlarged, but In the score of years since Judge Parker was president many improvements were made. Originally the buildings consleted principally of Wlnnlsook Lodge, where the gathering is to take place, but now nearly all the members have cottages and soend much of the summer season at the club. It Is planned to have sixty or more guests present Monday.

Judge Parker and Mrs. Parker will attend church services to-morrow morning at Kingston and will take the 12:45 train on the Ulster and Delaware Railroad for Big Indian, N. from where It is necessary to drive ten miles to reach the club. The members of the club are all personal friends of Judge Parker. They include William S.

Rodle, member of the New York Democratic State Executive Committee; Charles M. Preston, of Kingston, former banking superintendent; Thomas O. Evans, a New York lawyer; T. T. Benedict, of Ellenvllle, public printer under President Cleveland; Charles R.

Hall, of New York, and many others all well known In New York politics. Another outing the Judge and Mrs. f-rker expect to take during the fall is artrlp to St. Louis, where they will be th gtiests of Mrs. Daniel Manning, whllvltlng the Exposition, It is Judge Parker's purpose to eliminate politics nion that occasion also, but plans have, already been laid to hold a public recep tion there so that Western Democrats will be able to make his acquaintance.

Harry B. Hawcs, president of the Jefferson Club, of St. Louis, and a leader In the Missouri Democracy, called at Rosemount today and endeavored to get a promise from Judge Parker that he would visit St. Louis during the campaign. Mr.

Hawes missed his train and remained at Rosemount for dinner. When he came away he said Judge Parker had. not named a date to go to St. Louis but that the outcome of his visit was perfectly satisfactory. He had learned that Judge and Mrs.

Parker would attend the Exposition, and the Western Democrats are willing to take the chance of meeting their candidate for President at that time.
