AT Ter C0L0NIzERS.
Grand Jury Said to Have Found
Indictments.
State Democratic Committee Starts
the Investigation.
Unusually Heavy Registration in
New York and Brooklyn.

As the result of a resolution adopted
at the meeting of the State Democratic
Committee, evidence was this morning
laid before the Grand Jury to show that
a great deal of Republican colonization
Is going on in the Tenth Assembly Dis
trict.
1t was announced exclusively in " The
Evening WORLD of yesterday, that the
Committee would take this action.
1t is said that many indictments were
found, and that so far over fifty war
rants have been issued for those charged
with Illegal registration.
In New York the first two days regis
tration was 202, s04. or 57.09S more than
and APO more than were registered in the
same days for the Presidential election
of 1892.
In Brooklyn the registration for the
last year and only 4,239 less than that in
the first two days of 1892.
Chief Clerk Allen, OF the Bureau of
Elections. declared this afternoon that
he had received large number of com
plants from naturaliZed citizens of
nearly all nationalities who had been
refused the right to register because
or their inability to produce their
naturalization papers.
"a score of citizens" said Mr.. Allen,
who are known to be legal voters and
VINO nave NOttu lot many years, were
not allowed to register yesterday, al
though they were willing and anxious
to take the oath prescribed by law.
The law | think. is very plain This
bureau has no authority to interpret it
for the inspectors. The inspectors are
their own judges, but If they have any
doubt as to what the law means and
directs they can appeal to the Corpora
ton Counsel for Instruction.
The rights of citizenship are being
grossly abused. and something should he
done to make all the inspectors under
stand before next registration day that
any naturalized citizen cannot he le-
gally denied the privilege of registering
II he is willing to take the required oath. .
Mr.. Allen was very much incensed over
some OF the complaints he received. An
Englishman named Fahey, who had serv'
ell In the late war, received his h1nOra.
BILE discharge, and afterwards served In
the regular army. He was not allowed
to register, he claims, in the Twenty.
first Election District of the First Assem-
bly, District. The reason given by the
inspectors was that he could not produce
his ma turaliZation papers.
In the case of eN-ASsemblyman Den
mis- Burns. who was refused the privileg,
OF registering yesterday because he Coulj
/ not show his naturalization papers, Mr.
Allen explained that the Democratic in
speCtors were willing to enter his name
but the Republicans objected.

Tho record Tor the last nineteen years,
In which Mr.. Schnept has kept q care

as Yesterday, and but two that were
hotter. On July 10, 1878. tho mercury
reached 100. On July II, 1879. 1t was as
high. July 10, 1881. it reached lO3.
This was regarded as unprecedented,
and it was not again equated until July
II, 1887, whom tho maximum was l04.
Since that tho record has reached 100
but once, which was July "a, 1892, until
yesterday. The unique feature OF yes-

which the hottest weather came, and
the way II kept hot until late in the
