HILL WILL NOT RUN.
Strange Situation ConfrontS New
York Democrats.
Those Who Are Mentioned Most
Prominently for Governor and
Lieutenant t-Governor.

SARATOGA, y. Y, Sept 23.-A situation
more stra ge than has yet confronted the
DemocEa IL party, and the like of which
has never been known Dy any of the as
sembled party leaders, is presented to-
night, within thirty-siy hours of the time
setfo the nomination OF q candidate for
the Office of Governor o { the State of New
York. No selection of a candidate has
yet been made, and while one name is
prominently mentioned here tonight no
one person can be said to have anything
like a mortgage on the nomination. So
far there are four candidates nominated
for Governor: Judge Gaynor of Brook
lyn. John BOYD Thacher of Albany, Fred
erick F. Cook of Rochester and Senator
David B. HUI.
Daniel S. Lockwood of Buffalo was
mentioned, but it is said by those who
know to-day that he is practically out of
the race and that Sheehan's support, which
may dominate Erie. will be thrown toward
Cook. Every effort will be made, however,
to induce Cook to accept the second place
upon the ticket, in case either Judge GAY
lor or Senator Hill is nominee.
As to MIR. Hill as a candidate Lieuten-
aDt-Governor Sheehan said to-day: II
Saturday after noon before leaving Albany
for Saratoga. He not onlv said he would
not be a candidate, but insisted l should
not brOach the subject t. him any more
aud hoped no further me m tion OF il Ould
be made"
Nevertheless Tammany will send a COM
mittee to wait upon the Senator and try to
prevail upon bin to become a candidate.
For Lieatenant-Governor there are three
names mentioned to-night-Frederck F.
Cook of Rochester. John }. Lindon of
Ulster County and Jacob B. Cantor of
New York, with the chances seemingly
largely in favor of the second named.
For Judge of the Court of Appeals only
one candidate is mentioned to-night-John
Titus of Erie-although there is rumor
that the name of Judge A. B. Parker will
be presented by his friends.

meet the Chinese troops that were landed
on the Korean bank of the Yalu River by
Admiral Ting.
1t is not clear, the Times adds, whether
the Chinese transports had time to disem-
bark their stores. AT any rate the con-
dition of the Chinese column must be pre-
carious, and there seems to be nothing to
prevent a Japanese squadron from re-
visiting the mouth of the Yalu and de-
stroying any Chinese transports remaining
there. Further, it would be easy for the
Japanese to move troops by sea from
Ping Yang 10 the Yalu and then shift
their base of opera lens farther north,
thus supplying re-enforcements to the
column marching nOrthward from Ping
Yang. This is almost certain to be done
if an advance in Manchuria is intended.
With regard TO an attack uDon Mukden
the Times says: The japanese cannot
overlook he fact that apart from its pre-
sumed sanciity it is a position of little
military value 1t is not the shortest or

River as basis, it Will equally allow far

or not such defenses as Mukden pos
sesses would prove formidable TO the jan
anese artillery, the fighting power OF the
Chinese would show to the best advantage
in the defense of walled city.
''On the whole. difficulties and uncer-
tainties may still deter the japanese COM
mander from embarklng upon such an ad-
venture. The pacificaton and administra-
ton of Korea would in themselves absorb
the energies of large military force dur

BATTLE-SHIPS SUPERIOR.
Naval Officers Tell of Their Advan-
tage on Unarmed Cruisers.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 23-Few of the
ordnance officers of the navy are prepared
to accept the recent engagement between
japanese and Chinese fleets at the Yalu
River as demonstration OF the superiority
of unarmored cruisers over heavily pro-
tected but moderate speed battle-shipS.
This is natural in view OF the fact that for
many years the officers in this branch of
the service have devoted their ingenuity TO
the development of the passively resistant
quality of ships holding that the best de-
sign should carry the heaviest armor.
Thus they created the battle-shp, and now
they stand prepared to defend her. One
Of the mo st distinguished of ordnance Off
GERS in his record of work accomplished, a
man who had much to do with designing
the guns and armories of our modern
ships, speaking upon the subject of the
Yalu fight to-day was inclined to be skep-
ships. He says:
''We are still in the dark as to the details
of the battle, but l will venture the asser-
ton that not one of the Chinese battle
ships was seriously injured and that their
loss was confined to cruisers or only par
tally protected vessels.
Aud even the best of tile Chinese
bat1le-shlps is not frst-class vessel
The Chen-Y uen is second-rate ship about
like the Maine or Texas. But as it was,
there was only one reason, though that is
very good one, why the battle-ship did
not speedily destroy all of the japanese
fleet, and that reason is the Immense
superiority of the Japanese personnel.
The Japanese themselves fully under
stand the value of battle-ships, and have
made efforts to purchase some. Lately
they have been trying to buy the Canitan
Prat, the new armored vessel built in
Europe for Chile. A good deal of nom
sense has been said and written about the
value OF high-speed uDarmored cruisers.

after the big premiums paid for speed, /

is the opportunity tn decline an engage

when the heavy ship was brought in
during the Crimean war. naval warfare

shells now that we can explode with GER
tainty almost inside of cruiser and tear
her to pieces. But these shells will not
penetrate the armored side of a battle
ship. The only proiectile that can do that
is the armor-piercer. and that, while partly
hollow, is never charged with explosives.

THOSE SUGAR INDICTMENTS.
Great PrecautiOn in Proceeding
Against the Trust Officials.

Against the Trust Officials.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The expected
indictments against Messrs. Havemeyer
and Searles, of the Sugar Trust. who re-
fused to answer questions asked them by
the Senate Investigating Committee, have
bsen finally prepared in the District Attor-
ney's Office and only await the action of
the Grand Jury which will present them to
the court.
The time that has elapsed since the case
was first commenced has been consumed in
the preparation OF these indictments. No
more difficult technical task has devolved
upon the District Attorney for years,
chiefly on account of the lack Of precedent.
The brunt of the prosecution of the Sugar
Trust will rest upon the indictment
There is no doubt that the lawyers of the
trust will make motions to quash the bills.
the first step in their defense. The de-
cision of the Criminal Court Judge will
dOu tless be taken 10 the Court of Ap-
peals of the district, for although an ap-
peal at that stage of an ordinary case is
not sllowed the Court of Appeals makes
an exception for a case of extraordinary
importance to save the expense of crimi-
nal trial based upon an Indictment which
may be invalid. The decision of the ap-
pellate court upon the legitimacy of indic,-
ments, will, therefore, have much weight
in determining the power OF a Congress
sional Committe to compel witnesses to
answer questions, or If refusing to sub
NIT to punishment for contempt. If the
Court of Appeals says that they cannot be
Indicted for such an offeDse that settles
the matter, unless an attempt is made to
carry it tC the Supreme Court.

of his followers jumped on the deputy and
fight ensued. The deputy summoned
