LATE NEWS BY WIRE.
Gen. Tracy's Argument in the Nc
Kane Case.
one OF WIDE IMPORTANCE
Oenunciation of the Gravesend
Chiefs Methods.
LARGE NUMBERS HEAR HIM

BROOKLYN. ". Y, Feb. I-There was q
tremendous crowd in and around the court
house this morning. to watch the final pro-
ceedings in the trial Of John Y McKane
charged with violations Of the election law
election day. at Gravesend. Judge Bart
lett made great many notes while waiting
for General Tracy to begin. There were
several handsome young women in the
crowd They came with counsel for the
prosecution and took seats alongside OF
General Tracy
As soon as the jury roll had been called
General Tracy arose and began to sum up.
He saidin part: The crime of which John
Y. McKane L. accused is no ordinary one.
1t IL most important case and it strikes
at the very root of our government.
PARTIES may change, but the purity of
the ballot must be preserved. If 1t Is not
the country will sink into condition ap-
palltng to think Of
Our only safety is to stand up against
the attempt to break down the election
franchises"
Gen. Tracy then went into the matter
of the registration. He defended the law
relative to elections held In county towns
and the necessity to keep the registry lists
In a public place. The general also told
about Mr.. Gaynor's going to Gravesend
and finding there an enormous registra-
tion- He then asked the jury IL Mr.. Gaynor
Old not do right In going and demanding
an Investigation.
Gen. Tracy then showed how Mckane
ruled Gravesend. Coney Island and all that
section. Mr.. Gaynor could not see the Lists
because McKane said No"
"McKane," he said, was the dominating
spirit of Gravesend-"
He said that no man could have the lists
without the written order OF John Y. NC
Kane. The defense never denied this. Nc
Kane's power is absolute In Gravesend. and
a shameful exhibition of that power was
shoWn when Town Clerk Voorhees, was on
the stand yesterday.
A naturally honest man, the town clerk
admitted that he gave over the records to
McKane's lieutenants and they to the two
indicted inspectors
Gen. Tracy then went on to tell that when
Mr.. Meyers went to Gravesend town hall
he was told that he could not have the lists
to copy unless Chief McKane said so. He
did not get them. His testimony in that
was not contradicted by the defense.
Gen. Tracy spoke with great earnestness
and force.
During Gen. Tracy's words McKane sat In
his chair with an assumed stoical indiner-
Nence, but his state of mind was
betray ed by the nervous working Of his
right hand about his mouth. His little
finger would stray between his lips and oc-
casionally McKane would take bite at his
finger nail.
Gen. Tracy's speech was admitted by the
numerous legal lights assembled in the
court room to have been a mastery presen-
tation Of the facts in the case.

Quickly they mounted higher and the fire

THE sEIGNIORAGE BILL,
When the House IL Expected to Vote
ON 1t.

when the House IL Expected to Vote
1t.
Representative Hatch of Missouri, who
Is in the chair during the progress Of the
debate on the silver seigniorage bill, said
this afternoon that a final vote would I'M
doubtedly be reached this week.
TT seems impossible to get unanimous
consent to fix time for vote, as objec-
lions are always made to such a PROPOSE
ton. But II such an agreement Is no,
reached soon a vote will probably be taken
on fixing a limit to the debate. There
will hardly be any filibustering to such
move, and have no doubt the final vote
will be taken before the week ends"
Mr.. Tracey of New York. who is man
aging the opposition to the bill. said:
There Is no purpose as yet to obstruct
the measure by filibustering. It may be
well to have the bill go to the President
and let him veto 1t IL he. wants to. But
1t is by no means certain yet that the bill
will pass. If any attempt is made to pass
the bill this week the advocates of the bill
will be expected to maintain a quorum at
every stage of procedure"
