Special 10 The jersey CITY Ne,ss.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Sept. %, 1898. -
The New Jersey delegation today dis-
covered the identity of Charles N. DAILY,
who WAS named Thursday as Consul at
Guelph. Canada. Mr.. DAILY was recom-
meuded to Senator Mcpherson several
weeks ago by S. NJ, Williams, the Com J.
troller of the Jersey Central Railroad,
aud Senator McPnerson endorsed the
application to the President. Having
done this he dismissed the matter from
his mind and was therefore surprised to
read Mr.. Days name In the list sent down
from the White House yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Williams Is warm personal
friend OF President Cleveland's and
therefore the appointment may be sched
uled as one personal to the administra-
tion.
Mr.. Mcpherson in speaking OF the sub
jest this afternoon explained that It was
no unusual thing for him to endorse the
applications Of the constituents without
nrxing their appointment upon th
Executive. Il believe In the right to apply
for office under this adminls ration and
believe it Is my duty as a Democratic
Senator TO- endorse the appli cation after
satisfying myself that the applicant Is a
reputable and capable man. At that
point my respon sihilify ceases"
Mr.. Days application 1t seems was
also endorsed by Congressman Dunn, In
whose district Mr.. Williams ia q resi-

As positive proof Of the fallaey OF the
intention stated to equalizs the vote, the
following 10 suhmltted:-In the First,
Second and Third precincts Of
the Third district last fall, 1903
votes were c;st. These three precincts
have been arranged 50 that they repre-
sent but two, with more than 700 in sacn
In the Sixth aud Seventh precincts 1878
votes wers cast Now these districts
have been altered SO that there are $50 In
one aud 700 In xIiother, and 800 iu the
one created out OF the two.
In thA Fourth district, where the votes
cast rarely exceeded 400, precincts have
been made to have 100. aud in others 500
and 600
There is no Indication, supported by
facts. which would show any
desire to do justice TO voters,
but. on the other hand.
there Is strong evidence OF the fact that
the true inwardness of the move was to
disfranchise, all the Democratic voters
In the Second District. where there Is a
Republican majority OF 1.500. no changes
were decided necessary. There are not
enough Democrats In the district to dis
commode.F
In the Sixth District, First precinct,
645 votes were polled last fall, giving the
Democratic candidate majority of 375.
This Drecinct has been reduced in size,
and 175 votes les it. while an adjoin-
ing Republican precinct was enlarged so
as to bring the votes up to $50.
The First, Seventh and Eighth dis
rricts, where there are many precincts
having more than-700 voters, no chan ges
were made. The Republicans were SO
well treatep by the Democrats that no
changes were made.

IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT.

NEWPORT, R. L, Sept. %, 1895. Seldom
has there been SO mauy i'm per5ant expsri-
ments under wy at the United States
Torpedo Station as at present.
Perh ips the most important will be the
testing OF the torpedo defence nets with
hlch not a single one of our
ships is yet fitted These ara
now rugged to United States tug
Fortune. There are three of these
nets, one the Boullvant, such as is used
by foreign natives, and two of American
construction. For these trials the d
projectiles which were used in the trial
of the Ericsson submarine gun at New
York, will be used. The gun will be again
snbjscted to a test for direction OF fire,
speed and distance and for this the new
rrojectiles just received will be used.
Which test will come first, that of the
gun or the nets. Is not yet decided.
Another test for which this gun Is to
be used is for the trying OF the Cunning

Bedford. Tug Fortune is also being

Districts have been SO split up that It is
safe to say that the vote this fall wi II be
unusually light owing to the inability of
volers to ascertain where they will be

Democratic Aldermen in the past have
changed district and precinct lines, blu c
never took such an outrageous way Of
doing so as has characterized the work

SO outlined precincts as to

Putting valkyris in Trim.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 1893. Valkyrie
was moved MP today from her berth Of
yesterday to point 300 yards off the dock
OF the Atlantic Yacht Cluo. She looked
more like a racer this morning than
when she arrived under her jury rig
yesterday. All day yesterday she was
surrounded by small Doats and tugs,
and this morning early the visitors began
to arrive. 1t was not long before
the anchorage of the Atlantic Yacht Cluo
were dotted with small craft, the oceu-
pants OF which viewed her on all sides,
and seemed to be well pleased with her
appearance.
Valkyrie certainly looked better this
morning than she did yes terday, for
the jury rig disappeared entirely,
and the sailors worked with such
will that before night she
will be nearly ready for trial spin
Those on board Of the yacht were glad TO
see their fellows, who came on the
Paris this morning, and the twelve men
were not long in getting to work, aud
were evidently glaG to be on the Valky-
rie's deck again.
It has now been decided that the VAL
kyrie will take several spins down the
bay before she is hauled into the dry
dock to prepare for the races, and
IL is possible that she may go out
on Monday, although the first trip may
not take place until Tuesday. Lord
Dnnraven will probably decide upon the
yachts movements some time today.

TERRIBLY INCREASING.

The Authorities OF the Board of Health
Give Some Important Information
About the Present Condition of the
People.
AT no time IN the history of New York City have
there been many deaths from pneumonia as now.
The official figures show that nearly twice as many
deaths from this cause are occurring than for the
last five years. This is something terrible.
DR.. John T. Nagle Registrar of Vital statistics.
says that this increase is due TO the influence of
grip He says that grip may be called epidemic
vital contributing cause to pneumonia and all dan
gerOus pulmonary troubles. At this time of the
year, when we are changing over from winter to
spring, there is always low order of vitality
action from the strain of the season. The blood
does not flow SO full nor rapidly; the strength is
less. For this reason grip has much better chance
than at any other season.
This Is time of year when people need to be
careful. and too much importance cannot be placed
upon keeping the blood warm and in circulation.
You must bring about a reaction IL you wish to
avoid the pain and dangers OF these troubles In
time. There is but one way by which reaction can
be brought about. and that is by the use of pure
stImulant, preferably WHISKY. But the great dill
Guilty is that there few WHISTLES which pure.
The only really pure and reliable whisky known TO
the medical profession or the world is Duffys Pnrs
Malt 1t possesses qualities known only to itself.
1t will bring about a reaction and prevent cold,
pneumonia or the grip where many so-caIled stimu-
lants would fail 1t has saved more lives and re-
lieved more suffering than anything of q similar
nature which was ever known before to the world.

NO, NOT TO CHINA.
Whittier Bound, City of
New York !?
The San Joaquin Valley Road-The
Visiting Oregonians-Another
Sunset Cut.

The Pacific Mail steamship Company is
nothing if not evasve.
1t has tried to create the impression that
driving away from San Francisco is de-
creasing, as the result of a dullness of
trade all over the world, and is not the
outcome of monopolistic policies tending
to grab all in sight. squeeze all the profits
out of shipments and drive commerce from
its natural channels.
Two steamers were ordered off the Pan
anna route the early part of this month,
two carriers are destined to be laid up on
the New York side of the isthmus line, and
now the public is informed that the steam
ship City of New York. the best ship on
the Panama route. is to be placed on the
China run to help bring passengers to the
Worlds Fair.
The steamer City of New York will
never see the Orient this year unless the
Mail Company changes its plans very sud-
denly.
The fact of the matter is, the company
is very much worried what to do with the
New York. 1t would never DO to allow
her to lie alongside of the company's dock
and be contaminated by the dry rot which
is gradually injecting that whole neighbor-
hood.
But there appears to be no alternative
Possibly she might be chartered by Mr..
Huntington to go into the crude-oil trade
between here and the Portland sme!ter :;
but. alas! all this is idle conjecture.
President Barry Baldwin of the Traffic
Association is still enthusiastic over the
San Joaquin Valley Railroad project.
Personal observation of the opinions of
people of Fresno and Bakersfield convnces
me,' said he. "that the road will be a
splendid success"
Letters are coming in from all parts of
the valley to Mr. Baldwin and Mr.. Leeds
relative to this line. and comment on the
project contained therein is of most ia
vorabe nature.
Small they may be. but the improve
ments recently made at Shelter Cove in
the matter of wharf facilities are Of no
mean Importance to this city.
The steamer Emily of Captain Roberts
line will make regular stops at that point
during her trips TO and from Marshfield.
The country back of Shelter Cove is a
great wool-raising district, and new field
for enterprise is opened up.
The Sunset route has made another cut
of rates "a desperate job, so to speak-at
the Canadian Pacific, but in reality felDt
at both the North American Navigation
Company and the Canadians. This cut
amounts to about 20 per cent in the COM
modify schedule.
The excursion of Southern Oregon mer-
chants will leave Yaquina City on the 9th
at o'clock. A special committee OF the
Chamber of Commerce has been appointed
to receive and entertain them.
Local Manager Vaughn and Passenger
Agent Bergn of the Oregon Pacific were
called before the committee and requested
to give an outline of the intended improve
ments to be made by their company.
An excursion about the bay has been ar
ranged for. after which banquet will be
given TO the Oreg0nians.

Honeward Bound on the Steamer
Bertha Yesterday.

The steamer Bertha. belonging to the
Alaska Commercial Company. left yester-
day afternoon for Alaska, having for pas
sengers number of Catholic priests. who
will engage in missionary work in the
frozen north
Among the vessels passengers was the
wife and family of Joseph Couchon, a
wealthy Indian trader of Sitka.
Couchon is estimated to be worth at
least S100,0G0 having money invested in
several Eastern cities and in California
His six chlldren-four girls and two boys
received their early education in the Gov
ernment school at Sitka, coming TO the
United States several years ago TO COM
plete their studies.
All of the Coucbon children are particu-
larly bright, especially Miss Marie, a
really pretty girl of 10 summers, who
speaks English f1uently and is a gifted
musician.
Miss Couchon said to reporter that
though she was anxious to see her old
home and her father she preferred living
in San Francisco. the wilds of Alaska
being too dreary and devoid of excitement
for one who has cultivated a taste for city
life.
The Couchons live in a com Portable resi-
dence at Sitka. They will visit Seattle
and Portland frequently, as they have
friends living in those cities.
