presided. In calling the conference to or
der, Mr.. Beaman said he was eager to bring
matters to conclusion as rapidly as possi-
BILE, and prepared TO give the message of
the committee of Seventy to the people
He read a letter from John W. Golf to the
effect that he appreciated the honor of be-
ing nominated for Mayor by the Committee
of Seventy and the German-American
Union, but was compelled by his duties to
decline the nomina tion. Mr.. Golf urged
nomination against IT ammany Hall, and
that its rule be destroyed in New York.
Mr.. Beanan announced the result of that
conference; 1--WE just resolved, he said >,
the head of the platform should be a Re-
publican. He added Col. strong had been
chosen for Mayor. Mr.. Beaman eulogized
Col. Strong, and said there was no tarnish
on his name. He is one of the foremost

suited with their organization. The Anti

New York, October 5.-The Evening Sun

A reporter of the Evening Sun this after
noon sent message to Chairman Hinckley
OF the State Democratic committee, asking
If he would say the Secretary of War, Dan
Lamont had been authorized by President
Cleveland to assure Mr.. Hill the admisistra-
tlon would support the state ticket. Mr..
Hlncklcy was in conference with Senator
Hill at the time in Murray Hill hotel. Mr..
H1nckley sent one of his messengers down
with the statement: s'As the sit tuation now
stands can most emphatically state the
regular state Democratic ticket will receive
the full support of the Cleveland faction.
AS to whether Secretary Lamont came over
with orders for the administration to re-
store harmony, both in the city and state,
am not at liberty to say. / can tell you 1
am positively assured that the administra-
ton men in Washington desire most
earnestly the success of the regular Demo-

can state that Judge William j. Gayner
will, without doubt, appear on the state
ticket as nominee for the Court of Appeals.

The OIL situation.

Special Isle0rdm 20 me hegssteF
New YORK, March 27.-The negotia-
tions which have now been pending
for considerable time between the
Standard Oil Company and the Noble
Bros, of Russia, for division of Euro
pean territory, are reported as not yet
completed, but il is learned that they
are much nearer ompleted than at any
time heretofore, and some color is given
TO these rumors by the higher price for
oil certificates.
Through a connection with French
refuers, the Standard Oil Company has
now secured control Of the French ter
ritory, and il is believed that the pres
ent policy Of that company will eventu-
ally lead TO the withdrawal OF pipe line
certificates from the markets OF this
country altogether. During last week,
affairs at the oil fields were very quiet,
although there was further reduction
