FREDERICK S. GIBBS MAKING HIS FIGHT.

The Board OF Canvassers yesterday examined the
vote of the XIIIth Assembly District, In which Fred
erick S. Gibbs declares that he was elected to tho
Assembly over James s. southworth, whom the police
returns showed to lie elected by thirteen votes Vice
President Noonan was In the chair and Alderman
Terrell read the returns. Neither Mr. Gibbs nor Mr.
southworth was present, but both were represented
by counsel. George Bliss, J. X. Duffy and Thomas u
Hustled appeared for the Republican Candidate ana
George W. Gibbons, John c. Sheehan and EDWARD
Browne looked after Mr.. Southworth's interests.
In the second election district two detective oaiois
were found and the inspectors were sent for In the
fifth election district one Republican ballot was re-
turned as defective, because the name OF A. Herman
was written opposite J. soat Fassetts Mr. Bliss
asked that the vote be counted for Mr. Gibbs but tho
question was referred to the committee on corrected re-
Turns In the eighth election district there were
fourteen blank ballots. Alderman g. b. motifs wahted
the inspectors to explain the cause OF this, but the
motion was voted down. ~,
The police returns were not changed, but no cerun
cate of election will be issued until the end OF the whole
canvass The inspectors did not send the ballots which
they considered detective TO the Board. Inc cOhnt
tee on corrected returns will examine them. MI.
Gibbs is confident that they will show that ne was
elected.

FLOWER LEADS FOR GOVERNOR
A Lively Contest in Progress For Second ; Place On the Ticket.

Sheehan's Friends Confident That He Will
 Be eNominated--Kings County Delegates
 Working Hard For Mayor Chapin For
 Governor--Rice and Danforth Will Prob
 ably Be Renominated.
 SARATOGA, Sep. 14.-Every incoming train this morning brought large num- Der of delegates and Democratic leaders and it may be said that the political pot has reached the boiling stage.
 The Kings county delgates are on the road. They say they are ready for the fray, and intend to stand firmly by their guns. which are all loaded for Chapin for Governor.
 Mr. Flowers friends say that Mayor Chapin is sure of the thirtysix votes from Kings county and that is all. There has been some talk about renominating Governor Hill for third term, but warm friends of the Governor say there is noth- ing in it, and that MT. Flower will certainly be nominated on the first ballot.
 Ridgeway, of Kings, has chance for second place on the ticket, in certain con tingencies, but the Sheehan men, who claim the office, say that Ridgeway won't make it.
 There appears to be no doubt that the second-term practice will prevail in the offices of Secretary of State and Treas urer, and that Messrs. Rice and Dan forth (Treasurer), as heretofore stated, will be re-nominated.
 Should Ridgeway receive the Lieut. Governorship, MT. Sheehan will probably be urged to accept the Comptrollership, instead of Frank Campbell, of Bath, who was at first booked for the place. Shee- | hans friends, 1t is believed, will insist l 3hat he must have second place. Isaac Maynard, of Albany, has crept up to the top of the list of candidates for Attorney General, and appears 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 l gentleman says that he is nNt a candi- 1 date, in the sense of seeking the position, but if it should be rendered to him he 1 will accept 1t.
 John Bogart still appears to be the choice for Engineer and Surveyor. Tammany Hall, the County Democracy and the Brooklyn delegation are ex- pected to reach here about 4 o'clock this | afternoon.
 Governor Hill and Speaker Sheehan will reach here some time this afternoon.
 The Sheehan contingent of the Buffalo 1 delegation are expected about o'clock tonight. They are coming on special train.
 From what can be gathered this morn ing by a visit to the hotel corridors it seems almost certain that Flower will be nominated to head the ticket on the first 1 ballot. Sheehan's chances for second place appear good, yet the opposition may muster strength enough to throw the choice to some one else.

NO RELIEF FOR CANADIANS.

They Must Pay the Duty on Their Teams
 Every Time They Cross the Border.
 WASHINGTON Sep. 14-The Treasury Department has received letter from Messrs. Moore & Sons, of Woodstock Canada, who are engaged in the lumber business in Maine, complaining of hard ship in being required to pay duty on the horses used in the business, every time they are driven across the border into the United States. They state that they have at four different times paid duty on the same horses.
 The Treasury Department has decided that the law requires duty to be paid on horses imported from Canada, and the question of having paid duty on the same horses many times before does not enter into the controversy, and the De- partment can offer no relief in the mBtter

EVENING
wILLEDRAw ON AMERICA.
An Important Com m munIcation from Cor
 sul General Mason.

sul General Mason.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Consul General Mason of Frankfort, in a report to the State Department on what he terms the German crisis in breadstuffs, presents some very interesting statements respect ing the most notable commercial event of the year in Europe-the Russian de- cree forbidding the exportation of rye from Russia to any foreign country.
 This Mr. Mason regards equivalent to an official declaration that the har- vests of cereals in Russia is so deficient that the export of rye must be forbidden in order to avert danger of famine there.
 MT. Mason presents some data which shows how seriously this unexpected edict is likely to affect the bread supply of Germany. Very little pure wheat bread, he says, is eaten by the middle and lower classes in Germany. The staff of life, !" to vast majority of the German people, Is black bread, made with flour, ground with a mixture of rye and the inferior quality of wheat. The consumption of this material is so enormous that Ger many imported 947, 1875 tons of rye, of which 95 per cent, as well as 55 per cent. of the whole import of wheat into Ger many, came from Russia. The recent edict therefore cuts off nearly five-sixths of the foreign rye supply of Germany.
 A year ago rye sold in Berlin for $39 per ton of ,, 240 pounds. On the 3d of August last, the effect of the meagre harvest had raised the market price to $52. 24 per ton. Then came the Russian edict ard within two weeks the price had risen to $61.SS per ton. Add to this a short and inferior potato crop throughout nearly the whole of Germany, and it will be seen, Mr. Mason says, that the food question there has assumed an omnibus aspect and in the end the people of Ger many, like those of France and England will have to draw upon the well-filled | graneries of the United States for 8 large part of their food supply during the coming year.
