Hitch Over tho Appointments OF Charles j.
Edwards ms Election COmmissioner.
Mayor Schieren OF Brooklyn had finally de-
termined on Friday night to announce his ap-
pointments OF new Election Commissioners In
tho morning. and tho list was as follows: w. II.
Williams Republican; George E. Moulton, Re-
publican; VIM. Batterman, Democrat; Charles
]. Edwards. Shepard Democrat.
The appointments, however, were not an
nounced, owing to a hitch over Mr.. Edwards,
who has been the hustlinR Secretary in the
Shepardite faction since its organization. Jacob
Marcks, Of the real estate and insurance firm Of
Marcks & Bernstein, notified Mayor Sohieren
that Mr.. Edwards was not 1T man for Elec-
tion Commissioner and requested tho Mayor to
give him a hearing on the matter.
The Mayor had Mr.. Edwards and Mr.. Marcks
face to face in his private office for over an ho,
and United States District Attorney Bennett
was also on hand as Mr.. Edwards's counsel. Mr..
Marcks alleged that In 1892 MIR. Edwards had
falsely accused him Of using the name of mer-
chant without his authority and in other why's
with trying to ruin his business: Tho charges.
he asserted, were all disproved, and he has a
$4,000 suit pending against Mr.. Edwards for
his action in the matter.
A. the close of the conference Mayor Schieren
announced that he would investigate the COM
plant against Mr.. Edwards. although 1t seemed
TO him to be based on business rivalry.

JAPAN WOULDN'T CONSENT.
CHINA ASKED ron DELAY IN THE
DELIVERY OF FORMOS1.

The Answer Was that Japan Could Not
Modify the Rntiaed Treaty-Two OF the
Seven Japanese Divisions VIII Remain at
Port Arthur for n vvhile-Chtnese Loan.
LONDON, May 1s.-A despatch received in this
city from Shanghai says IL is reported there that
China asked Japan for an extension OF tho time
in which the former was to deliver the island of
Formosa to the Japanese. Japan refused to
grant the request saying that she could not per-
init any modification in the ratified treaty of
peace.
A despatch TO tho Globe from Yokohama says
that Gen. Komatsu, the Japanese commander at
Port Arthur, has started on his return to Japan.
Two of the seven Japanese divisions which have
occupied Port Arthur will remain in occupation
OF that place while the present suspension OF
matters between Japan and Russia continues.
Tho Japanese newspapers in their comments
upon Japan's yielding to the demands Of the
protesting powers, say that the Russian Consul
has announced that torpedoes have becn laid at
the entrance to the harbor of vladivostock.
The report that China Is applying to European
hnanciers for f50. 200. 900 loan is ridiculed by
the best informed city houses. The facts are that
certain Paris and Berlin banking firms ap-
preached tho Pekin Government. offering to
raise loan, but not giving the amount Tho

Ing the French syndicate. asked NJ Hanotaux.
French Minister of Foreign Affairs. to support
their claim to finance whatever loan might be
agreed upon. and the Bleichroders and Men
delssohns took similar action with the Berlin
Government.
The dominant cause of this extraordinary
competition is the belief that the successful
syndicate will secure orders from China and
Japan for munitions Of war, new ships, &C.. on
the principle that tho money ought to be spent
where II was raised. The interested London
nrms calculate that the Chinese loan will not
exceed flO,000,O00, which sum could be OBJ
tained without political interference.
The Paris Temps foreshadows q bigger project
