SPLIT ON BOSSES.
Tom PIatt's Methods Are at Dis

count.
FLMlRA, n. Y. Aug. 15.-The TWEEN
ty-seventh district senatorial convention
is to be the most unique in history, if
to-day's county convention is any
criterion. The Republicans to-day
are divided among themselves, and
the fact is peculiarly significant
because this is the county of Collector
of the Port of New York Fassett and
Gov. Hill. At HorSehead's to-day.
where the Chemung county convention
was held to name delegates to the state
and senatorial conventions, 1S6 dele
gates were expected to be i'll their seats.
Contests. however. are made in Is,
and these are divided up as follows:
Fassett faction, As: Flood faction. 65.
The fact that Mr. Fassett had been
made collector seemed rather to
strengthen than to diminish the fight
which originated some years ago when
Mr. FaSSett supported Lew L. Morton
for senator as against the choice OF then
Assemblyman Van Duser, who sup
ported Mr.. EvartS. The widening
of the breach to-day means a d.
rect fight against Thomas Z. Platt'S
influence and Mr.. Fassett's proposed
senatorial candidate, Charles Bell, a
clerk of the senate last year. MIR. FaS-
sett, however, and his followers, assert
that the opposing Republicans are
friends of Gov. Hill, and that the split
is used in the hope of obtaining Dem
ocratic senator from this district.
The Evening Star. of Elmira, prints
an omen letter from EX-ASSemblyman
Van Duser in which he accuses Col
lector Fassett of trying to defeat him in
1884 at the instance of Thomas Platt and
of swinging over from Evarts to Nor
ton at Platt's suggestion, after promls-
ing to support Evarts for United States
senator. The letter, which contains
over 1000 words, claims that Mr.. Fas-
sett is trying to make deal with the
Democrats to get the county. Mr.. Van
Duser was seen this morning and said:
1.-The letter is an answer to an open
letter sent to me in which Collector
Fassett admits that he defeated the
nomination of Congressman Flood be-
cause Flood declined to let him name
the postmaster. We are averse to a
split this fall. but we do not propose
that Collector Fassatt shall run the
place for Tom Platt."
Congressman Flood, who is leading
the opposition, said: IF l had been
nominated l shout d have been re-
elected; as it was, Mr.. Fassett sue
ceeded in electing Democrat. We do
not propose to have any deals with
| Democrats. The statement that we are
waging this fight by order of Gov.
| Hill is false. 1t is decid-
eddy more probable that Collector
! Fassett Is in league with the
Democrats than we. Postmaster Flood
also spoke against Mr.. Fassett, and
said that the Republicans Of the district
were trying to show the people of the
state that they could not be controlled
| by Mr.. Platt." Gen. Charles J.Langdon,
who was on Gov. CornelPs staff, and j..
l.. Radin are also against Mr.. Fassett
ty committee and a Fassett adherent,
said: alt is the usual old fight. All

FARGO, \. D.. Aug. 15.-The railroad
commissioners in session here to-day
appointed as chief deputy grain inspee-

Fargo; Chris Olson. at WahpetOn; d.

the four points named. and that they
have purchased the pest apparatus, and
that it IS on the way here. They believe
that there is no danger of a blockade.
Attorney J. F. Mckee, representing the
National Elevator company, proposed
that they institute test case at once to
establish the cOnstitutiOnality of the
law, ignoring during the meantime the
rules requiring an inspection in North
Dakota, the rule requiring a daily re-
port, and requiring the elevator COM
panieS to give bonds. The commission
ers are willing to institute test case.

is GOULD DYING?
The Wizard Alleged to Be Failing
Fast.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-The Inter-Ocean's
New York correspondent says: 1t has
been kept secret, but Jay Gould. the
Wizard of Wall Street, the man who
can, when he so wills, do more TO upset
the markets of the world than the
banks or bankers, is sick and has gone
to Idaho for treatment. The story be-
gins back at the last meeting of the
general managers, which was held at
the Windsor hotel in this city. Mr..
Gould, as has been his custom, was in
attendance. 1t was noticed that he
took less apparent interest than usual
in the discussions going on, and some of
those who sat near him observed that
occasionally he leaned rather heavily
upon the table before which he was
sitting. Later on his eyelids were seen
to slowly close and mis- head drop on his
breast. There was alarm on the part
of all present. as it was seen that he
was seriously ill. With the greatest
precautiOn he was removed to cham
Der in the hotel, and medical aid sum-
moned. 1t was not until night that the
physicians in charge would consent to
have him taken to his own house.
50 many and various are the interests
supposed to be more or less dependent
upon the health and life of this man

knowledge of what occurred from the

CHAMBERLAIN. S. D., Aug. 15.-Spe-
cIal AllOtting Agent Mexican, of the in
terror department, under instructions of
the commissioner OF Indian affairs, has
investigated the rights of the head chief

the opening of the Sioux reservation by
several whites for town site purposes,
and reports to the local United States
land Office to-day that the indians have
no legal rights to said lands under

do not desire the lands to be

report a number of filings were pre-

POOR LUM OUT.
A Christian Celestial Boycotted
by His Fellows.

CHICAGO. Aug. 15.-Lum Out, an in
offensive looking Chinese resident of
this city, is in serious predicament.
Anorder has been promulgated through
out the city to all Chinese that Lum is
boycotted. All good Cinnamon are
warned not to talk with, trade with. sell
to or in any way associate with him.
Lum, who keeps a laundry on the West
side. embraced the Christian faith sew
eral wears ago, and by his efforts has
brought a number of his country
men over to the faith. So sue
cessful has he been that he
established some time ago
little Sunday school in his laundry,
where meetings are held every Sunday,
The cause of the trouble is that certain
influential members of the Chinese col
Ony believe that Lum furnished infOr-
nation to the treasury agents which led
to the detention at Winnipeg of several
Cinnamon who were returning from
visit home.
These Cinnamon, it will be remem-
bered, were stopped at Neche, Manitoba,
ard. although they had passports, it was
believed the papers were the property
of others, and that the suspects were
rving to break into the country
for the first time. When the
news of their arrest reached Chicago
the sentence of boycott was pronounced
against Lum. Indeed, it is reported
that some of the more hot-headed ones
wanted to kill him, but the mandarin
wovld not hear of this. What so greatly
incensed the colony leaders was, they
assert, the fact that the information
furnished the treasury agents was
wholly false--that the men were bona
fide residents of Chicago and that their
papers were straight. From informa-
ton gathered at the government build
ing this evening it seems that their
story is right, and the Cinnamon, who
have been watched for several weeks
by special agents at considerable ex-
pense, will now be permitted to come to

They Could Fill Them.

YANKToN. S. D., Aug. 15.-The death
of Congressman Gamble has set the
politicians of both parties to calculating
on his successor, and 1t is probable that
conventions will be called during the
next sixty days to nominate candidates
for congress. The people OF YanktOn
feel that, inasmuch as Mr.. Gamble had
not yet taken his seat in congress, his
successor should be Yankton man,
and the Republicans would choose K.
j. Gamble, brother of the deceased.
Hugh j. Campbell will undoubtedly
be a candidate before the Farmers ALI
ance, while Bartlett Trip will be the
choice of the Democrats. Both the lat
ter gentlemen were prominent candi-
dates for United States senator last win

men is rapidly developing. f. J. Wash

lican nominee. The election of con-
gresham will occur in November.
