POLITICAL NOTES.
New York Republicans Gathering at Rich
field SDrin0s


field Springs.
RICHFIELD SPRINGS, N. Y, Sept. 1s.--The at
tendance upon the Republican State convention
is not as large usual. The State committee
met at 8 o'clock this evening. The committee
was called to order by Chairman John F, Smyt tn.
Upon roll-call twenty members answered their
names. The committee adjourned until 10 p NJ.
No programme for organization has yet been in-
dicated. The name most canvassed in connec-
tion with the temporary chairmanshp is that of
Senator Warner Miller. Very little dis
position is shown by prominent Repub-
icans present to discuss the probable
action of the convention. The purpose
seems to be 70 permit the convention to take its
own course in reference to the formation of n
ticket. The whole drift of sentiment appears to
favor the denomination of the present State
officers.
Ex-senator Thomas C. Platt telegraphed to-
day canceling his engagement for rooms.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Whitelaw Reid and George
William Curtis are among the prominent dele
gates not expected. 1t is said considerable
proportion of the New York city delegation will
not be present There is no reason to believe
that any trouble will arise in the convention
over any point.
The State committee went into executive ses-
sion at 10 O'Clock P. NJ took action in relation to
reorganization OF the party in New York city,
and prepared report to present to the cOnVen-
tion in regard to contested seats. Senator La D.
ham will be presented for temporary chairman.
A New York city dispatch says: The execu-
tive committee of the antl-machine Republicans
this evening, adopted resolutions denouncing
the proclamation of the machine organiza-
tion, that its doors were Open to
all Republicans, sham, declaring
the late primaries were conducted according
To the usual machine methods, and that
only five nt the eighty delegates elected Inde-
penden5s, and concluded by stating that while
they are loyal Republicans they do not hold
themselves bound TO obey the orders of this
gang of political frauds" copy of the reso-
lutions Will be forwarded to the State conven-

Major Young, of Columbus, Miss, "a wealthy

by which colored alliances are secured for the
Democratic party in that State.

Don't they sometimes take the cash and then

we stand around and watch them, and they are

The New Letter Postage Rate.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-The reduction of let
ter postage to cents per half ounce goes into
effect on the 1st proximo. Just now the general
Postoffice Department has its hands full in
honoring postmasters' acquisitions for the new
stamps. In the larger cities postmasters are
preparing for the change, but in many of the
smaller offices the postmasters have probably
not yet heard that there has been a reduction in
postage, and their constituents will continue,
after Oct. l, to use the three-cent stamps. A
large number of the postmasters have supplied
themselves with the old twO-ceat stamps, which
will be used concurrently with the new until the
old is exhausted The further issue of the old
twa-ecnt stamps ceased on Friday. The depart
ment has been furnishing pOstmasters with the
new stamped envelopes since the 1sJ of Septen-
her. and as their orders are based largely upon
the orders made by private citizens, the envel-
Opes Will be delivered at once In this way il ia
thought that good many of the new stamped
envelopes will find their way into local clrcula-
tOn, and the department has instructed post
masters to receive them

MIR. BLAIR'S COMMITTEE.
Testimony of Rev r. N. Newton, Mrs. L.
d. Blake and Mrs. d. G. Croly.

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-Rev. P. Heber Newton,
testified before the Senate subcommittee on
education and labor to-day. The condition of
the laboring classes he said, was subject for
expert study, and at the present time there was
not sufficient information regarding it upon
which to base any intelligent legislation. The diff
cultles met with by labor reformers were in the
intemperate habits of the labOring classes and
the improper methods to which labor resorts in
the endeavor to accomplish its desires. The
great want Of the people he considered to 10
industrial education. Instruction in
the public schools was woefully
deficient, and its tendency was
entirely one-sided. 1t has given to the
youth OF the country dislike for manual labor
which was a very dan gerous tendency. Cooper
alton was spoken of by the witness as the
greatest aid to the elevation of the working
classes.
Lille Devereux Blake advocated the estab-
lishment OF matrOnships in all penal institu-
tons, and State refOrmatory for girls
Mrs. ID. G. CrOly, newspaper writer, who has
given considerable study to the condition of
labortng women in this city. recommended a
system OF compulsory education, not only in
common schools, but in industrial schO Ools, where
women would be taught how to work. The
homestead exemption laws should be made
more protective to the stability of hOusehOlders,
and the possession of homestead should be
made requisite for obtaining citizenship.

The Civil Service VIII Look Sharply for
Violations of the Law.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The question OF as
sessment of departmental employees for political
purposes which has been raised by the recent cir
cular of General Malone to Virginians
in the departments is receiving the
earnest consideration of the civil-ser-
vice commissioners One of the latter,
Judge Thoman, was asked tonight what action,
if any, the commission would take in relation to
the circular. He replied that as far as 1t was
Within the power of the commission to see, the
provisions of the civiservice law wonld be
strictly adhered to. Said lie: "It is their pur-
pose to do so. 1 have no hesitancy in saying
that, to assess dues upon clerks ana employees OF
the government for the purpose of maintaining
a political organization in this city aiding
political parties in the States, is an absolute vio-
lation of sections two and fourteen of the civil
service act. Whether the circular demand
ing moneys comes from United States
senator, a representative or department clerk,
Its author should be dealt with in such a man
ner that would show that the law is not jum-
BILE of meaningless words. 1t is undoubtedly
the duty of each active department TO assist the
commission in seeing the law vindicated, and
have no doubt they will"

A LARGE Diamond

NEW YORK. Sept Isl & NJ. Kohn, Jewel
ers, have. just imported the largest diamond
rongh, and has the yelowish hue common to all
uncut diamonds. The stone is African and
weighs 125 carats. 1t may be reduced one-thrd
be approximately determined until it has been
cut, when its color and fun beauty will be re-
yealed. The important question of how it shall
be handled 50 as to bring out lts beauty in the
fullest degree is now under consideration by ex-
perts. AT present the jewel has a faint blush
streak running through the center. but when cut
il may prove to be of pure white. An idea of
the size of thus stone may be had by one who
has not seen il when it is remembered that the
famous Kehinoor is 1929 carats, and before
cutting was 1856 carats

Kate Chase and Her Fortune.

Washington Special.
Mrs. Kate Chase, formerly Sprague, is at Carls-
bad, Bohemia. She will winter in Germany,
probably at Munich, and continue the art stud
les of her eldest daughter, Ethel, who lnherits
her mothers beauty and the artistic talents of
Mrs. Jessie Case Hoyt, her aunt, who is one of
the cleverest artists in America in her particu-
lar line, which is sketching for pictorial journals
There has been an impression abroad that Mrs
Chase was somewhat pecuniarlly embarrassed
This.is an error. While she has not the immense
fortune it was expected she would receive from
her husbands fathers estate, she has 500, 600
which Mrs. Fannie sprague, the Governors
mother, gave her on her marriage. This sum
was hers absolutely, and was carefully invested
for her by Hon. Hiram Barney, who brought
Miss Chase ana Senator Sprague together and
really made the match. Besides this she had
some other money, amounting to perhaps $40,
600. when her father gave her 100000 more
in United States bonds at his DEATH and the old
Chase mansion in this city, which is nov .
boarding house. So that while Mrs. Chase is not
wealthy, she is by no means poor, and, being
clever woman at business, will exc out her in
come and makelt so much further than most
people could.

Revenue Agent Neustadt in reference to the
investigation of the charges of embezzlement by
ex-Deputy Collector W. T. Savage, of the New
Orleans district, He reports that the charges
were based upon information received from
Deputy Collector Lamar, who charged Savage
with having acted in bad faith in issuing his
individual receipts in lieu of stamps to num-
Der of persons, without accounting for them.
Agent Neustadt states that the amount of mon
ey collected by Savage in this way was $l41.
He says the marshal and United States attorney

ality OF Savage, while Postmaster Dunn is of
opinion that Savage had merely been the tool of
ex-Collector Pleasant, whom he regarded as the
real culprit.
