HON. [. P. MORTON ACCEPTS.
Is Deeply Sensible of the High Honor Con-
 ferred Upon Him.

ferred Upon Him.
 Rhinecliffe, N. r., Oct. 3.-The com- mittee appointed by the chairman of the republican state convention to off, cially notify the candidates for gover- nor, lieutenant governor, and judge of the court of appeals of their nomina- ton arrived here shortly after noon to- day.
 Upon the arrival of the train the committee, accompanied by several leading republicans, including c. M. Depew and General B. E. Tracy, was driven in coaches to MT. Morton's home at Ellerslie.
 Senator Charles D. Saxton and Judge Albert Haight, the nominees for lieu tenant governor and judge of the court of appeals, were with MT. Morton when he received his guests. MT. Morton en- tertained the party at luncheon. Gen eral Collis, as chairman of the commit tee, delivered the nominating address. To MT. Morton he said, it was fitting that the most illustrious citizen of the state should be chosen as her executive, but especially was this so when he possessed in so high 8 degree those virtues, attachments and characteris- tics which qualify him for high sta- tion.
 Addressing MT. Saxton he said it was a tribute to g. good and faithful ser want whose ability, courage and integ- rity have been tested and that no class of voters will support him with more earnestness than his old army com rades, who have had occasion to ap- plaud the same fearlessness in civil life, which he exhibited upon the field.
 To Judge Haight, he said the nomi- nation for judge of the court of ap- peals was rendered to him with his positive knowledge that his chartcer was above reproach. You have each of you, said General Collis, read the declaration of principles unanimously adopted by the convention. Your an- tecedents warrant us in believeing that it will receive your cordial approval and loyal support.
 Messrs. Morton, Saxton and Haight IcSpOllucu UIlCAys NAAs I1Ol lOl1 D ACP1y was as follows:
 "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee thank you for the compli- mentary terms in which you have in- formed me of my nomination by the republican convention recently assem- bled at Saratoga for the great office of governor of the state of New York.
 T am deeply sensible of the high honor which has been conferred upon me by the convention, as I am of the grave responsibility which will de- volve upon me if the action of the con- vention should be confirmed by my fel- low citizens in November.
 T had expected to pass the later years of my life in the desirable sta tion of a private citizen, but the unex- pected call made upon me is rendered all the more agreeable by the associa- tion with the distinguished gentlemen now present whose names are united with mine on the republican banner.
 "In due time I shall address a for nal communication to your commit tee signifying my acceptance of the nomination"

TRIED TO TALK" TO DET-
WILLER.

Just prior to the meeting of the Board
of Finance yesterday there was the
liveliest kind of tilt between Com
missioner Bedell and Commissioner Det-
willer. Before the meeting yesterday,
Mr. Brinkerhoff and Mr. Bedell called Mr..
Detwiller into an ante room and attempted
to persuade him to vote to over
ride the veto. Mr.. Detwiller
informed the gentlemen that he would have
no hand in such a transaction. This SO en-
ragged Mr.. Bedell that he went at Mr.. Det-
willer without gloves. The latter merely
smiled at Mr. Bedell's discontinue. His
only reply to Mr. Bedell's remarks was,
81 know my own mind aud my own bust
ness. will do as please without sugges-
tions from anyone, and don't propose to be
taken to task"
An effort was made to keep the wrangle
quiet, but it leaked out this afternoon Mr..
Detwiller's friends are delighted that he has
come out SO strongly in favor of Mayor
Wanser.

BUFFALO, Feb. 27, 1894. - ''Parson'

Ormonde OF National Sporting Club of Lon
don
The offer Of the Mt Clemens syndicate to
put up purse of $45,0 900 for the fight, Mr..
Davies says, amounts to nothing, as he
doubts very much if the fight could be pulled
off there without interference by the author
tiles. The syndicate cannot guarantee that
there will not be interference, and unless
this guarantee is made the fight certainly
will come off in England Last night Mr..
Davies received letter from B. B. Gilbert
of Muskegon, Mich, stating that there is a
syndicate in that place that will give S50,0O0
for the fight, $10,0 of which has been posted
as guarantee of good faith.
1--WE have the same objection to this Of
fer" said Mr. Davies, ''as we have to that of
the Mt. Clemens syndicate. The fact is we
will not decide upon place of meeting be-
fore some time next week In the meantime
we will hear something definite from Lord
Lonsdale about England"

MIR. GLADsTONE's RESIGNATION.
Rumor That HE Will Submit H to
the Queen Today.
Bu Cable 90 the Unttcd Press.


LONDON, Feb 27, 1894. The subject of
Mr.. Gladstone's resignation is revived today
in way suggesting that there may be some
foundation for the report. The Pail Mall
Gazette, the st. Janles's Gazette and the
Westminster Gazette publish articles almost
identical in substance, Indicating that Mr..
Gladstone will resign at an early day. The
reason given in each case is that the
Premier's eyesight is failing SO fast that his
vision will become wholly obscured if he
does not Immediately retire from active po-
litical duty
1t is also stated that it was the intention af
Mr.. Gladstone to allude to his approaching
resignation in the House of Commons yes
terday, but he was dissuaded by his col
leagues from doing so.
The Manchester Guardian, the Yorkshire
Post and many other provincial newspapers
publish these rumors and accompany them
with articles expressing belief that they are
we'll founded.
-.The Chronicle and the Sun claim to have
Information that Earl Rosebery will be Mr.
Gladstone's successor and Sir William Har-
court the Government leader in the House of
Commons.
The Edinburgh Evening Neuos claims TO
have been informed upon authority that Mr.
Gladstone has already resigned the Premier
ship, but will retain seat in the Cabinet.
Upon the same authority the NeaUs an
nounces that Mr.. Gladstone will have an
audience with the Queen today, when he
will recommend Lord Rosebery as his sue
cessor-
The renewed rumors of his retirement
from Office having been reduced to almost
positive statements from well informed
sources, Mr.. Gladstone's followers have be-
come agitated almost to the verge of a
panic, while his political enemies are CORES
pondingly jubilant. Though there are still
many doubters, it is significant that it is
among the Premiers Parliamentary and Off
cial adherents that the reports of his almost
immediate withdrawal from office find most
credence.
Writing in today's Sun, Mr.. T. P. OCon-
nor, M. P, says
''For some time something like a panic has
existed among his supporters in the lobbies
Yesterday evening the rumor was current
that his resignation was to be expected dur
ing the course of the week. Competent
authority gives his eyesight as the actual
reason for his resignation; but the situation
is further aggravated by the position of GER
tain members of the Cabinet with reference
to the naval programme,
''The Premier had to face the possibility Of
Earl Spencer's (the First Lord of the Admir-
atty resigning The carteract in the Prem
iers eye is not yet ripe for operation, but
when it occurs he must spend six weeks in
darkness.
Nobody has the least idea what any day
may bring forth, though my own opinion is
that Mr.. Gladstone will refuse to leave the
ship.

PARIS PASSENGERS ARRIVE.
Brought Over on the Auranfa-Noth
Ing Known OF Rev. Peter Williams.


ing Known of Rev. Peter Williams.
New YoRK, Feb. 81 1S94-Nothing was
known on the steamship Aurania, which ar
rived this morning, of the missing English
clergyman, the Rev. Peter Williams, who
was reported to have disappeared from
Hackney, England where he was pastor of
a Congregational Church Itwas reported
that he had started for New York on the
Paris, which put back to port.
Several of the passengers that were on the
there was only one clergyman on board. He
was the Rev. Mr.. Morton, about twenty
four years old, and was accompanied by his
wife. He later took passage on the Berlin,
which also arrived here today.
The Paris passengers brought by the
Aurania are:-P j. Bealey, G. E. Bartol, e.
Dillon, w. E. Gilbert, Mrs. Gilbert J. E.
Hodges, g. d. Johnston, f. H. Nudge, Mrs.
Nudge, NJ H. Pulaski B. Rosenstein, j. c..
Ryan, G. B. Ryan, J. Walker, Mrs. Walker
and George Warner
Mr. Hodges said that he would not have
known that anything had happened to the
Paris had not the captain put up notices ex-
planning the mishap.
Mr. J. c. Ryan said that his first intima-
tion that anything was wrong was at
about $50 P. NJ of the 18th inst, when the
vessel slowed down. On getting up in the
morning and finding that the Paris was still
going at reduced speed, he suspected some
thing was wrong and then found the Captains
notice put up in the companionway stating
that the rudder was disabled and that the
vessel was proceeding on her course, being
steered by her twin screws. During the
morning it developed" said Mr.. Ryan,
that the captain was testing the speed that
could be made, using the engines to
steer by, so as to determine if the coal
would hold out. There was a strong west
erly wind which greatly retarded our
progress. While we were at lunch, unknown
to most of of u.s. the Paris was put about,
and after lunch we found a, a,notice posted ex-
planning that after consultation of the
officers, this had been deemed the most
prudent course. We made from nine to thir-
teen knots on our return to Queenstown,
steering with the engines. The company
treated us well throughout. The other pas
sengers are coming on the Berlin, Teutonia
and Lucania. y
The Aurania brought over large number
of sacks of mail some Of which had been on

in getting into her slip on account of the ice

GERMAN-RUssIAN TREATY.
Chancellor Won Caprivf's speech in
the Reichstag Today.
By Gable to the United Press

By CUOtS 10 INC CTtlteu fTeSSs
BERLIN. Feb. q, 1S94.-In the Reichstag
today Chancellor Won Caprivi made mas
terly defence Of the Ger1nan-Russian COM
mercial treaty, taking full advantage of
the weak points of all the previous
arguments against the measure. Toward
the close of his speech the Chancellor
read a portion of a speech delivered in
the Reichstag by Prince Bismarck in 1879.
on which occasion the old Chancellor de-
clared that either himself or his successor
must endeavor to conclude commercial
treaty with Russia. After reading the ex-
tract from Prince Bismarcks speech, Chan
cellor Won Caprivi said impressively:-
ssGentlemen, it was reserved for his successor
to conclude that treaty.
Chancellor Won Caprivi dwelt at length up
on the advantages of the treaty to German
interests, among them being its influence up
on the cordial feeling at present existing be-
tween the two empires If the treaty should be
be adopted, he declared, the relations of
Germany with Russia would be seriously
affected. He warned the House that an
economic war between the customs officials
of the two Empires could not be waged
eternally, but the adoption of the treaty
would confirm the peace of Europe.

A PRETTY WOMAN'S MAD ACT.
Tried to Throw Herself Under a
Moving Train.

WASHINGTON, Feb 81, 1s94.-Mrs. Theo-
dore Smith, very pretty and stylish WON
an, made frantic efforts to throw herself un-
der an express train as it was leaving the
Pennsylvania station yesterday afternoon.
She had waited about the station several
hours with a New York ticket in her hand,
letting several trains depart for her destina-
tion without making an effort to catch them.
Her peculiar actions attracted the attention
of the guards, and, when she finally rushed
towards train just as it started,
officials were beside her, and with great
difficulty restrained her from dashing under
the wheels. She begged for morphine at the
hospital, where the doctors declared she had
been taking chloral. She says her parents
live in Copenhagen. A slip of paper in her
pocket is signed "Dr. CA. Belden, Jamaica,
n Yn and indicates that she is profes-
sonal nurse. She also had an old baggage
transfer check marked Hotel Vendome. She
said she had trouble and was determined to
die,
