PROPOSED REFORMS.
Work of the New York Constitutions
al Convention.

ALBANY, N. ", Sept. 2s.-To-day was,
practically. the closing day OF the New
York State constitutional convention. The
chief bone of contention has been the ap-
portionment for future senatorial and as
sembly districts. The Republican majority
claims that the apportionment is fair tc all
concerned, but the Democratic minority
Gains it discriminates against the large
cities in favor of the country districts and
that the discrimination was unfair to the
Democratic party a whole. 1t voted
to split the bill into sections, though the
sections are not as numerous as the leaders
cf the Democratic minority would have pre-
ferred The measure will be submitted to
the people in the form of three ballots. The
first ballot provides for the adoption of the
twenty-nine articles; the second for the
apportionment articles, and the third for
the canal Improvement measure.
President Choate appointed a committee
planning the work of the convention The
Democrats refused to serve and the Repub-
licans were finally compelled to prepare
the address without their assistance. The
Democrats assert that they will prepare
an address denouncing the address prepared
by the majority The majority's address
explains that of the four hundred amend
nients proposed only thirty-one have been
accepted. These amendments provide for
the separation in the larger cities of the
municipal elections from the national and
State elections; for the prohibition of lot
teries. pool-sellng, book-making and all
forms of gambling; for the abolition of the
statutory provision limiting the right to re-
covery for injuries causing death to $1,000;

tionment of Senate and Assembly districts.

NEW YORK, Sept 2s-The Morgan line
steamship Eldorado, which has arrived
from New Orleans, had a severe tuss-e
with the hurricane into which she ran
Sunday night off the southern coast of
Florida. Captain Percy had been warned
of an approaching storm previous to leav-
ing port by sudden drop in the barometer,
but decided to chance it. Sunday night the
wind howled through the rigging at a
ffty-knot clip, and everything movable on
deck had to be doubly lashed. The rain
fell continuously and I'm torrents. Capt
Percy never changed the VESSELS course
and at daybreak OF Monday he found he
had weathered the storm and was on the

ever, the wind veered to the northward

pARKHURsTs GROWING NUMEROUS.
A Jersey City Preacher Proposes 10
Storm the Haunts of Vice.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s-Rev. j. l.. Scud-
der is not going TO be the only imitator of
DIR. Parkhurst. The latest clergyman TO
pose as a moral crusader is the Rev. James
Parker, of the Second United Presbyterian
Church. Hancock avenue. Jersey City.
This gentleman proposes to start society
which is to be modelled somewhat after the
famous Parkhurst society in New York.
1t is to be organized in few weeks. The
Rev. Mr.. Parker, in speaking of the COM
ing crusade, said: The society will be
nonsectarian and nonpartisan, and under
no circumstances will ii enter politics. The
main object will be to see that the laws
in Hudson county, and especially those
providing for proper observance of the
Sabbath, are observed. The authorities are
daily induced by powerful influences to
close their eyes tC certain things. We will
open their eyes and give them backbone.
When the forces of vice are daily brought
TO bear on an official and nobody opposes
them, 1t is natural that he should be
swayed and give way to them. Nearly all
the ministers in the county favor the So
ciety and will join it. All laymen who are
interested in the movement VIII be wei
coined. The movement may develop into
one as grand as the one of which the Rev.
Parkhurst is the head"

Formal Recognition.

OMAHA, Neb.. Sept. 2S.-To-morrow the
regular State Democratic convention off,
cials will attempt TO file the certificate
showing the ticket selected by that body
on Wednesday. 1t is understood the Sec
retary of State will refuse to receive il on
the theory that the certificate fled by the
bolters settles the question as far as his
authority extends. Mandamus proceedings
will follow at once, but it is feared Ii will
be unnecessarily delayed until too late. The
boilers fled an amended certificate to-day
to correct the dates of the opening and
closing of the convention. The law
governing the case where objection is made

He Is Terrorizing Chicago Female
Cyciers Who Wear Boomers.

CHICAGO Sept. 2s.-"Jack the whipper'
has broken loose and is making life full of
terror to the female bicyclis.s who ride in
Washington Park during the evening.
Jack has frantic aversion to the bloom
ers, and his method of expressing his dis
approval is to plant a few lusty welts with
a rawlide upon every pair of bloomers
that he can find with a girl inside them.
His plan for the last two nights has been
to wait behind a tree until a bicyclist in
bloomers comes along, then he springs out
and plies the rawhide vigorously. He has
severely whipped two young women and
pursued several others. The park police
men have 50 far been unable to catch him.

THE HOWGATE CASE
Ex-CHIEF DRUMMOND TO EE
HAULED OVER THE GOALS.
Charged with Leaving No Records i'm
ing the Search for the Fugitive.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ss.-Now that Mr..
Drummond. who was chief of the United
states secret service under the last ad-
ministration. has effected the capture of
Captain Howgate he will be called upon
by the Treasury Department to make some
explanation in regard to certain features
or his connection with the Howyste case.
Ii Is understood that Mr.. Drummond will
be called upon TO explain why it was that
he left no record in the flies of the bureau
about the Howgate case when he severed
his connection with the secret service. II
is said at the Treasury Department that
Mr.. Drummond claimed to be working on
the Howgate case In June. 1873. At that
time the Cleveland administration, having
been in power over three months, deter
mined TO displace Mr.. Drummond who
was Republican, and give his place to
Mr.. Hazen. Democrat. MIR. Drummond
IL is alleged. represented to Secretary Car
Isle that he was then engaged in efforts
to capture Captain Howgate and that to
displace him at that juncture would inter-
fere with the apprehension OF the fugitive
Upon this assurance Secretary Carlisle de-
ferred action, but after the lapse of eight
months, with stiil no news or towgate,
make a change. Mr. Drummond's resigna-
tion was handed in. Soon after taking
charge of the Office Mr.. HaZen had occa-
sion to look up the Howgate case. but il
is said he could find no trace in the files
of the department or anything concerning
the history of the efforts of the depart
ment to capture Howgate. The first inn
pulse Of the Treasury Department officials
was TO call upon Mr. Drummond TO give
an account of his stewardship in this mat
ter. but for certain reasons Ii was con-
Guided not TO mention the matter to him
at that time. In the early part OF this
month the secret service bureau received
information that H0wgate was In New
York and that he was haunting n certain
locality. The bureau went TO work upon
this hint. but had not found Captain How
gate at the time that Drummond discov-
cred his game. Now that the whole .1hing
Treasury Department will call upon Mr..
Drummond to tell what he may know OF
any papers or data upon the Howgate case.
a legal demand of this kind can be made,
Tor there is a statute regulating the dispo-
ton of public papers and documents by
officials.
