PERKINS AND WIFE AGREE.
She Promises Not to Prosecute the
Lexow Witness.
Says She Will Withdraw tho Suit
for Abandonment.

There was a reconciliation this after
noon between Mrs. Perkins and her hus-
band, James H. Perkins, the Lexow
witness, whom she had sued for aban-
donment.
The case had been adjourned by Jus
tice Grady until 2 o'clock this afternoon,
and shortly before noon Mrs. Perkins
went to the office OF her lawyers, Mac
Laughlin & Bremen. OF 253 Broadway.
She was seen there by an Evening
World" reporter, but had said only a
few words when Perkins appeared. He
regards Lawyer Bremen as the author
of his troubles, so he didn't enter the
ONCE, but in coaxing voice said through
the door:
Ma, want to see youy"
Ma jumped up quickly. She had said
tefore that she was tired Of the whole
ansb but s,s her ,rn lawyer urged her to
way, before either Of them had time to
protest and while MIR. and Mrs. Perkins
were patching up domestic tranquility,
donment case might be postponed, but
that Mrs, Perklns would continue In
litigation by having Bookmaker Call to
whom she says she loaned 81, 900 on mis-
representation arrested on a charge of
larceny. While this story was being told
the sound of softened voices and occa-
slonal smacks, that were Enthusiastically
evidences of peace, came drifting in the
open doorway. The lawyers plunged on
boldly, however, telling how their client
had been neglected and deceived, until
finally Mr. Perkins came to the door
again. This time he said:
Reporter. l want to see you"
The smile on his face was in striking
contrast to the frowns of the LAWYERS
as they were left behind, but still Per
kins didn't look any more happy than
his wife.
We've made up" announced Perkins,
gleefully.
Yes we've made up" said Mrs. Per-
kins. and I'm not going to push that
Them lawyers did this whole thing"
broke in the husband, but before he
could say anything more he was quieted
by the remark
Now pa, don't say word"
Lawyer Jerome came up the elevator
then, and just a glance told him that his
professional services were not needed.
He simply remarked: IT'S more pleas
ant here than out in the rain," and then
he added that he was glad of 1t, be-
cause he couldn't go to court very con-
veniently on account Of the Committee
of Seventy meeting.
Mrs. Perkins asked the reporter to
state that the Bill Vosburg from whom
she received Information is not the man
who Is well known to the police. She
said her husband had given her money
and had promised to give her more.

HILL MAY Be NAMED.
Politicians Think Flower With
drew for That Purpose.
It 10 a Long Step Towards the
Presidential Chair.
His Nomination, It Is Thought, Might
Heal Differences.

1t need surprise no one II David Ben
nett Hill is named by the State Demo
| cratic Convention next week as the
| party's candidate for Governor.
The impression seems to be general
| among local Democratic politicians to-
day that Gov. Flowers withdra val from
the contest for the nomination. made
public yesterday after he had had a con-
ference with Senators Hill and Murphy.
was for the purpose of clearing the way
for HIS nomination.
The reasons for this impression are
no. hard to nnd. Hills ambition is to
become President. and the logical can
didate OF the Democracy for President
In 1896 will be the Democratic Governor
of the State OF New York-if. indeed.
New York should happen to elect a
Democratic Governor this Fall.
Gov. Flowers determination not to
try for a denomination was reached very
suddenly. and was announced at a time
when every one supposed he had what
is, in race-track parlance. termed "a
cinch." His recent tour OF the farming
districts and his speeches to the farmers
seemed to indicate that he was stumping
the State to win delegates. and now his
sudden change OF heart and mind is
interpreted to mean only that he has
been notified by the machine bosses
that he must stand aside and let Hill
try for the goal.
Hill Is the acknowledged leader Of the
machine in the State. and his personal
popularity, II Is confidently believed,
would strengthen the machine and per-
haps heal or bridge over the differences
that now exist between certain OF the
party leaders In the State.
Senator Hill has not announced his
candidacy, but some OF his friends In
this city. who usually speak by the
ca rd." are saying to-day mot for publ
cation. however, that Hill is almost GER
tain to be pitted against Morton for the
Governorship.
There is noticeable absence OF regret
on the part OF Tammany officials at the
withdrawal OF Gov. Flower from the
Gubernatorial race. In fact, there seems
TO be a feeling of satisfaction In some
quarters. In others. marked indifference
characterizes the replies of former sup
porters OF Mr.. Flower to questions con-
corning the effect OF his retirement on
the party.
Mayor Gilroy. who It may be pre-
sumed voices the sentiment OF Tam
many Hall, said to-day when asked
what would happen now:
THE prospects OF Democratic success
in the State and city are brighter now
than ever. All conditions are shaping
themselves so that we cannot lose"

Harry in her arms. They were soaking

Agent Dietz stated their case, saying
that under the law. which limits relief
to perJons who have lived in the city

been here nine months. However, the mis-
cry OF the little family, the agent said, was
SO abject that he felt moved to ask the
Court II II were not possible to stretch

Justice Simms said the case was
evidently one OF great distress, but the
law was precise, and he could not exer-
else any discretion in the matter.

ment she sobbed and prayed, and kissed
and fondled the child In her arms, while

JAPANESE Loss IS UNCERTAIN.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Sept. 19.-Despatches re-
kceived here from Shanghai confirm the
report of a severe battle fought on the
|TYalu River, between the fleets of China
and Japan.
The Chinese ships were escorting
troops bound for Corea. The troops were
the Second Army Corps, composed en-
tirely of Huanese.
According to the Chinese version,
there was no thought of surrender on
either side. The ships of both nations,
1t is admitted, were terribly damaged
The Japanese had the advantage Of the
weather berth.
The Chinese fleet lacked room for
menoeuvering.
The Chen-Yuen, these dispatches say,
after fighting her guns to the last, was
sunk by torpedoes, and a smaller Chi
nese vessel, which was unarmed, was
blown UP.
The steel cruiser Chao-Yung, II is
added. was so damaged that she had to
be beached to escape capture. while the
cruiser Yang-Wei was driven ashore,
and has become a hopeless wreck. Both
these ships are said to have been on
fire.
The Chinese claim that three Japa-
nese warships were sunk, but their
names are not given.
Further dispatches state that in, the
battle, the entire Pie-Yang or northern
feet of China was engaged reinforced
by some ships of the Foo-Chow squad
rom The Chen-Yuen was the flagship of
the northern fleet, and was commanded
by Admiral Ting.
The number Of Japanese warships en-
gagged is not stated. but as many of their
vessels we're stationed off Ping-Yang in
let, at the mouth of the Ta-Tong River.
their number must have been small.
From Chinese admissions 1t is gath
cred that the losses on both sides In the
naval engagement will total up several
thousand.
A Times despatch says that the
japanese fleet commenced the attack at
noon, and the battle lasted until P. M.
The Chinese lost four ships. The Chen
Yuen was sunk, the King-Yuen was
burned and the Chao-Yung and the
Yang-Wei were stranded and partly
burned.
The Chi-Yuen, the Chinese vessel
which was engaged in the fight of July
q, escaped. and it is presumed that she
Is safe.
The despatch to The Times also
agrees in saying that the Japanese are
supposed to have lost three ships, and II
adds that many Chinese were killed and
wounded, among the injured being Ad-
miral Ting, Col. Won Hannekin and Capt.
Tyler, the two latter being foreign vol
unteers.
The Times correspondent confirms the
statement that the Chinese were success
Iui IN landing the troops, which was the
OBJECT of the fleets presence at the
mouth of the Yalu River.
