FLOWER WILL LEAD.
The Next Governor Of New
York to Be Named on the
First Ballot.
Mayor Chaplin Hasn't Friends
Enough to Make Him Very
Prominent.
Probably Nothing in the Re-
port That Hill Seeks a
denomination.
Sheehan Pretty Certain to Be
the Second Name on the
Ticket.

SARATOGA, Sept 13.-There have
been no startling developments among
the Democrats to-day. A number of
Kings county delegates have arrived.
1hey say they are ready for the fray,
ana intend to stand firmly by their
guns, which are all loaded for Chapin
for governor. Mr.. Flowers friends saw
that Mayor Chaplin Is sure of thirty-siX
votes from Kings county, and that is
all. There has been some talk about
renominating Gov. Hill for third term,
but warm friends of the governor say
there is nothing in 1t, and that Mr..
Flower Will certainly be nominated on
the first ballot. Ridgeway, of Kings,
has chance for second place on tn
ticket, i'll certain contingencies: but the
Sheehan men, who claim the Office.
say that Ridgeway won't get it.
There appears to be no doubt that
the second term practice will prevail in
In Inc Offices of secretary of state and
treasurer, and that Rice and Danforth
(treaSurer), as heretofore stated, will be
remoninated. Should Ridgeway receive
the Lieutenant governorshIp, Mr.. Shee-
nan Will be urged to accept the comp
trollership, instead of Frank Campbell.
OF Bath, who was at first booked tor the
place. Sheehan's friends, it is believed.
Will Insist that he must have second
place. Isaac Maynard, of Albany, has
crept up to the top of the list of candi-
dates for attorney general, and appears
tonight to have the call on the position,
despite the efforts which have been put
forth by friends of Bulger, of Oswego;
Rosendale, of Albany, and Foley, of
Saratoga. The last-named gentleman
says that he is not candidate in the
sense of seeking the position. but
If it should be rendered him he
will accept it. The senator is very
popular, and should there be any dan
ger OF conflict his selection would
doubtless insure harmony. John Bo-
CART still appears to be the choice for
engineer and surveyor. The state com
mIttee Will meet at tile Grand Union at
D O'Clock Tomorrow night, and there
Will also be many caiip!ssis during the
night and early Oh Tuesday. 1t is not
now thought that the contested cases
will delay organization of the conven-
ton very materially, and delegates are
figuring on but two days session.
Iammany Hall, County Democracy and
the Brooklyn delegation are expected
TO reach here about o'clock Monday
afternoon. Secretary Defreest. OF the
state committee, is on the ground. and.
with his lleutenants, is arranging the
preliminaries, Most of the delegates
Will be here tomorrow morning, and il
is quite likely the slate will be i'm more
definite shape before tomorrow night.

HERE'S A WAR sPECK.
Great Britain Jumps on the
Chinese Government

oECdC oEltdIn JUMPS OH InS
Chinese Government.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Is. = The
steamer China arrived to-day from
China and Japan, making the trip from
Yokohama in twelve days eleven hours
and fifty-fve minutes. 1t was thought
she would attempt to break the record
made by the Vancouver line of steam
ships, but she Gid not do so. She brings
advices from China to Aug. 20. The
British minister, Sir John w.
Olson, made a strong protest
against the dilatory manner in which
the Chinese government dealt with the
recent outbreaks against foreigners, and
put three questions to the government,
asking first, why an edict on the sub
Ject of riots was not dispatched through
the empire by telegraph; second, why
the Wuhu magistrate who tried 10 stop
the riots was degraded, while mis- superi-
ors, who did nothing, we're not pun
lshed; and, third, why the punishment
of the guilty at Wuhu was not allowed.
These were answered as follows: First.
1t is not the custom OF China to send
edlctS by wire; second. the magistrate
was degraded for other reasons: and,
third, the rioters had been punished,
two being executed and the others
otherwise punished.
The North China News says the reply
shows that China cannot be depended
upon by the foreign powers. The paper
continues: meanwhile the powers do
not intend to be satisfied with these re-
plies and with what has been done by
the Chinese government in the way of
punishment and reparation. They have
sent China what is virtually all ulti-
wi N fol on n q 90 a
reply. England's action is understood
to be backed by other powers, and it is
thought force will be used if China is

Shot a Girl Twice.

Special to the Globe.
DICKINSON, n. D., Sept. Is. "A singu-
lar shooting affair took place at Richard
ton, a neighboring town, last night.
Fred Smith, laborer at the RichardtOn
hotel, took the liberty to go into young
lady's sleeping room, who ordered him
out. He refused. She hit him over the
head with a broom and elected him
from the room. Smith returned soon
with cowboy revolver, and fired two
shots, both taking effect in the leg just
above the knee. The pistol reports
brought men on the scene of the brutal
tragedy, whereupon the cowardly
wretch tried to take his own life, but
was prevented by interference. The
people were so horrorstruck as to permit
of Smiths making his escape. The girl

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 13.-To

or the affair IS that the first deed con-

Salem court should decide against

back upon these deeds and bring about
a legal fight that will last till the law

Mr.. Raymond holds that Huntington

to remember Tim Hopkins in the will

ANGEL FOOD IN DISGUISE.
Dispute at Fair as to What Con.
stitutes q Jelly Cake.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, Sept. 13-The
board Of directors of the Springfield ex-
position and Sangamon fair are now
having trouble over the question of
what constitutes jelly cake. Before
the fair opened boot and shoe firm of
this city offered a $500 piano as spe-
cial premium for the best Jelly cake
made by a SangamOn county woman.
Six hundred cakes were entered in the
contest. When the awarding committee
got to work they Inspected $50 cakes and
found them made after the regula-
ton style. The other one was
made by Mrs. Sam NiUett, of
this city, and was something
original. 1t consisted of "angels' food"
with layers of jelly between the differ
ent sections. This the committee de-
cided was the best cake of the 600, and
Mrs. Willett was awarded the piano.
When the composition of Mrs. Willett's
cake became known there was dissats-
faction with the decision of the com
mittee. Mrs. Willett'S competitors con-
tended that her cake was not a Jelly
cake, but was simply an angel food
cake. Mrs. Wlllett, on the other hand.
claimed the right to make her cake or
Whatever material she saw tit so long as
she used layers Of Jelly in it. Thirty of
her competitors have signed a protest
against the action of tire committee.
and the matter will be settled by the
board. A special committee will be
appointed to hear the testimony Of ex-
perts as to what constitutes a Jelly
cake, and make q report to the board.
A good deal of interest is being taken
in the matter.

THE FIDELITY ROBBERY.
Secretary AIbertson Carried Away
q Million in Securities.


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.-The EX-
aminer prints the following story con-
corning the robbery of the Fidelity
Trust bank at Tacoma by its secretary,
Edward AlbertSon, on Aug. "a last.
1t was heretofore believed that Albert
son lost only some $4,000 in speculation,
and surprise was caused by the eXtraor-
binary efforts made to capture him. 1t
now appears he took 100000 in cash
and nearly million in securities.
Early the morning of Aug. "a note
was received by Paul SchuliZe,a director
! of the bank. from Albertson, saying he
had lost only a thousand of the
money in speculation and to force a
compromise had taken $4,000 more in
cash and S900.000 in securities. He
would meet HIM or one of his represent
ativeS Ill the woods in q designated
place and return tue securities, if given
a written agreement not to prosecute.
1 he point chosen gives a commanding
view of all the approaches and Alb
ertSon said that he would fee at once if
he saw more than one man coming to
the place. Moreover he changed the
combination 10 the vaults, and it would
take three days to open them. Mean
while the banks credit would suffer.
and it was agreed to accept a compro-
mise. a man was sent to the rendezvous
with signed agreement not TO prose-
cute. Instead of AlbertsOn, he found
one Chandler, Tacoma gambler, who
Was evidently an accomplice. The mes
senger gave him the agreement and re-
ceiyed the securities and the comDina-
ton. The men separated and the mes
senger saw Albertson join Chandler The
bank at once commenced extraordinary
efforts to capture the thieves. j. II.

PANIC ON THE ARIZONA.
The Big Steamer Runs Down an
Unknown Schooner.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-The steamship
Arizona, of the Guion line, which LETT
New York on Saturday, Sept. s. for
Liverpool, arrived to-day at Queens
town IN battered condition, after a
perilOus voyage. across the Atlantic.
Early on the morning of the 9th, while
the Arizona was Steaming rapidly in a
fog, an unknown sailing veSsel, believed
TO be large cOaStng schooner, collided
with the Arizona. The shock was very
great, and aroused the passengers from
their beds. For a time the greatest
excitement reigned until it was
found that the steamer was not, as
many feared, liable TO 90 to the bottom.
The stem of the schooner struck the
AriZona's port quarter. Thirty feet of
rails of steamship deck were carried
away and lifebOat smashed. The deck
was considerably damaged, and several
plates of the vessels side were badly
mdented. While the extent of the in
jury to the steamer was being aScer-
tanned lifeboats were prepared for the
use OF the passengers, and every prep
aIation possible made for the saving of
life in case the steamship should prove
wreck. Fears of such catastrophe
were, however, soon allayed, though it
was long time before the passengers
recovered from the shock of their sud
den awakening. Search was made for
the cOlliding schooner, but not sign
could be seen, nor WAS cry heard. The
terrible shock had apparently crushed
the sailing vessel in a twinkling and
caused her to founder. Part of the bow
Of the schooner remained on the Ari-
ZOna'S deck, and other wreckaga indi-
Gated the fate of the unfortunate mari
ners. The AriZOna's machinery had not
suffered by the collision; and the voyage
was pursued at the usual speed and
without further accident.
One passenger makes the following
statement: After passing Sandy Hook
we entered haze, which later became
a dense fog. The fog-hOrn was kept
blowing. About II o'clock a loud re-
port like the bursting of a boiler
startled the passengers, who rushed on
deck. The captain ordered the engines
reversed at full speed. He assured the
passengers that the steamer was all
right and ordered them below. After
ward the officers stated that a three
maSted ship had struck the Arzona's
port almost amidshipS, and then disap-
peared. The fog-hOrn was kept going
long after the collision, but nothing was
discovered. The pumps were started.
but no water was found. SO violent
was the collision that passengers sleep
ing on the other side of the steamer
were thrown from their berths"

that the refusal to be officially repre-

HE DOESN'T REMEMBER.
Curtis Has No Recollection of the
Murder.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Is. - Actor
Curtis still claims he remembers moth
ing about Friday mornings tragedy and
will not talk of anything but his the
atrical record. Yesterday Officer j. j.
Allen swore to the complaint in Judge
ReX'S court, charging Strelnger with
the m1rder of Officer Grant. The police
are fast completing the chain of evil

stone unturned to lay bare all the facts.
The street where the murder took place
has been critically examined, and the
planks with the bullet holes in the
fence opposite have been sawn out and
put away as evidence. The police have
found a'man who saw Curtis in the Gus

som. He speaks English imperfectly
and has not been taken before an inter

understand that he knew Grant and also
identified Curtis as the man Grant had

KING CHARLES DANGER.
A Scheme on Foot TO Drive Him to
Ahdication.

LONDON, Sept. Is. - From Vienna
comes the startling information that
King Charles of Roumana is virtually
the prisoner of his own ministers, and
that scheme is on foot to drive him to
abdication. The king has at heart been
with the queen in her desire to bring
about the marriage of the crown
prince and Mile. Vacaresco, but he
was 0verborne by his ministers, and
for fear that he may relent and give
way to the wishes of his almost dying
wife. deputation of the ministers fol-
lows him everywhere, and he was not
even permitted, when he went to Ven
Ice, 10 see the queen without the pres
ence OF member of the ministry. The
explanation of this is that the ministry
favors Russia and believes that with
King Charles Oft the throne they could
better carry out their schemes for the
RuSsianiZation of the kingdom. as a
tool in the hands of the car. King
Charles has strong hold on the loyalty
aud devotion of ROumanians, This can
not be said OF the crown princewho is not
the kings son. but the son of his broth
er, introduced from Germany as heir to
the throne. and therefore unconnected
with the traditions and memories which
make King Charles himself dear to the
Roumanians. The overthrow of King
Charles would. therefore, mean the
overthrow of his dynasty and the vir-
tual substitution of Russian pro-
tectorate. AS King Charles, however,
belongs to branch of the German i'm
perial family, it is not likely that the
German emperor and his ally, Francis
Joseph, would view with Indifference
the reinforcement of Hohenzollern.
