NOT ENTITLED TO A RECOUNT.
Porter Says the Enumeration in
Gotham Is 0. X.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Concerning
the resolution adopted by the New
York board of aldermen relative to the
population Of that city under the re-
cent enumeration, and demanding a
recount, Superintendent Porter said in
an interview to-day that there is no
reason whatever for ordering a recount
in that city. On the contrary, all the
collateral evidence serves to corroborate
the accuracy of the enumeration. The
official returns from the state of New
Jersey, when published, will probably
give an explanation of the fact that the
population of New York did not in
crease during the last decade as rapidly
as some expected it would. AS the
business of the city has en-
croached upon the business quarters,
the residents have found homes in what
might almost be called suburban towns
adjacent to New York in New Jersey.
From the returns already tabulated in
the census Office there is every reason
to believe that the results of the New
Jersey census will, in large measure,
explain the apparently small increase
in New York City. An increase of
nearly 43 per cent in Brooklyn also
means that large number of people
who carry on business in New York
have sought homes in Brooklyn. Mr..
Porter denies that politics had anything
to do with the work of making up the
census in New York.

Tanners Successor Is Getting
Nervous Under Fire.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The special
house committee appointed to inyesti-
gate the charges against Commissioner
of Pensions Raum continued its inves
tlgation this afternoon, the vacancy on
the committee caused by the resignation
of Mr.. SmySer having been filled by the
appointment of Mr.. Flick, of Iowa. Mr..
Cooper opened the session with a re-
quest to begin the investigation over
again, owing to the appointment of the
new member, Mr.. Flick. He insisted
that the investigation had been much
narrower in its range than it should
out which he thought should have been
admitted. Mr.. Smyser, the retiring
member, he said, had taken part
in the rulings to which he had objected,
and he thought that the investigation
should be begun again, as the new MEN,
Der should not be asked to judge from
the printed testimony. Mr.. Flick said
that he had glanced over the testimony,
but had not had chance to examine 1t
carefully and suggested that he be given
chance to examine the testimony, and
if any part of it was not clear to him
that he be allowed to call the party Civ
u
the parts he wished TO. Mr.. Cooper
offered resolution calling upon the
commissioner to name all persons in
the pension Office who had been pro-
NOTED since Mr.. Raum had been in
office, the salary they received and the
salary to which they had been promoted;
the names of the persons requesting the
promotion of the persons so promoted,
etc. During the debate on the resolu-
tion Commissioner Raum said that he
was at loss to see what light this in
formation would throw on the matter
under consideration, and challenged
Mr.. Cooper to bring forth any
testimony to show that any employe
OF the pension Office had been promoted
as result of his taking stock in the
Universal Refrigerator company. Mr..
Cooper, he said, kueW in his heart that
he could not do this. In addition to this
information Mr.. Cooper asked the COM
mittee to have Commissioner Raum fur
niSh to them list of all allowances
made Mr.. Lemon since February last.
Mr.. Sawyer suggested that the number
of allowances made the several largest
attorneys be given, so that a comparison
could be made. Mr.. Raum said that he
saw clearly that it was Mr.. Cooper's in
uentiOn to delay the investigation and
not let it be brought to close this seS-
sion. He wished it to go ahead and be
finished as soon as possible. 1t was
here suggested to go ahead with the
examination of witnesses. Mr.. Cooper
objected, and said that he was not pre-
pared to go ahead this afternoon, and
would not be until the information he
asked for in his resolution was fur
nished. The committee then adjourned
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning

CoNvICTs NOT TO BE LEASED.
Mississippi's Constitution Trainers
Decide That Much.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 3-The consti-
tutional convention met at $3.50 this
afternoon, and resumed the considera-
tion of the report of the committee ON
penitentiaries, providing for the aboli-
tion of the convict leasing system.
After two hours debate the following
prOviso was adopted:
Provided, that nothing herein contained
shall prohibit the legislature from authoriz-
ing the employment under state supervision
of convicts by any levee board, on any pub
lie levees, under such provisions and re-
strictions as it may from time to time seem
proper to impose; provided further, that said
convicts shall not be let to any contractor
under said board.
A great many of those who voted for
this prOvisO, although opposed to leas-
ing of convicts even TO levee boards, did
so upon the theory that it is unwise to
forever tie the hands of the legislature
OH penitentlary system that has not
yet passed its experimental stage. 1t is
argued that while the legislature may
refuse to sanction the employment of
convicts on levee works, it is but proper
to give them the power to do sO.Ninas-
much as it MAY happen that the prison
farm scheme will prove failure. The
convention at p. m. adjourned with
out final disposition of the penitentiary
clause. The franchises committee de-
cided unanimously to-day to vote as a
unit in favor of its report on the suf-
frage question. Up to this time the con-
vention has been deluged with tracts
in favor of woman suffrage published
under the auspices of the woman's suff-
rage association. To-day acounterblast
appeared in the shape of document en-
titled "a remOnstrance, covering four
pages of printed matter. Every MEM
ber of the convention was furnished
with a copy. The remonstrauce is an
exact copy of a circular against woman
suffrage which was extensively dis
tributed among the voters OF South -Da-
keta recently, and consists of extracts
from the writings of Prof. Goldwin
Smith and others, together with statis-
tics bearing upon the fate of the woman
suffrage movement at the hands of the
legislatures of Vermont, Maine, New
Hampshire and twelve other states and
territories. The women suffragists here
boldly charge that the circular of re-
monStrance is the work of the anti-pro-
hibitiopists, who fear the influence of
women in elections.
At meeting of the Judiciary commit
tee held tonight it was decided unani-
mouSly that the convention had au-
thority to enact constitution without
submitting the same to the people for
ratification. A report to that effect is
in course of preparation, and will be
presented tomorrow or next day. The
convention will probably be governed
by the view of the case. although lively
opposition is expected from a powerful
minority.

to that party to stand aside from its
leadership. He has done neither, and
for this l denounce him. The Republic
can party cannot afford to follow the
lead of a branded criminal. He has
failed to justify himself; and. though
ample opportunity has been given him.
he remains silent. His silence. under
such circumstances, is the confession of
guilt. An honorable man does not long
daily when his honor is assailed. He
has delayed too long to justify the be-
lief in his innocence, and he stands
convicted criminal before the bar of
public opinion. Under such circum-
stances he should be driven from the
head of party whose very life his pres
ence imperils. The Republican party
has, done enough for its pretended
leader. Let him be relegated to the
rear. 1t is no longer a question of his
vindication; it is now question of the
life of the party itself. The Breckin-
ridge case then went over, and the house
adjourned

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 3.-The Repub-

conferred upon him and predicted the
usual Kansas majority this fall. The
committee OH rules reported in
favor of eliminating all nominat-

adopted. The committee on resolu-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 3.-The
president to-day transmitted to congress
the recommendations of the interna-
tional American conference touching
international arbitration, together with
letter of transmittal from Secretary
Blaine. In his letter the secretary says:
"Ihe act of congress, approved May "a,

the several other governments of Amer

ference for the purpose of discussing
and recommending for adoption some

2. Recommending the adoption of SINH
lar plan by the nations of Europe.
3. Declaring that the right of conquest
could not be recognized by the American ma

ratification of the treaties contemplated
by these reports will constitute one of
the happiest and most hopeful Incl
