overrun by omcs Seekers.

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. H.-Gov.
Bradley has been forced to issue a
bulletin to hold back the office
seekers who are monopolizing his
time. The bulletin announced that
the governor has selected his pri-
vate secretary without naming
him. 1t is also stated that no APP
pointments, which have to be con-
firmed by the senate, will be made
until that body meets in January.
The governor does this that the
applicants will give him a chance
to write his message.

STEAMER ATLAS DISABLED.
She Refuses Tow From the New
port, Which Reports her at
New York.

New YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Pa
cific mail steamship Newport,
which arrived in quarantine last
night, brought word that on the
morning OF December IL, she fell
in with the Atlas line steamer,
Claribel, the latter being disabled.
The Newport passed line to her,
but later the Claribel cast it of
and signalled TO Newport to pro-
coed and report to the owners Of
the Atlas line on her arrival in
New York. The Claribel, when
sighted, was in latitude % 8 north,
longitude 7414 west, which is off
the Carolina coast. A strong gale
was blowing and high sea pre-.
vailed at the time. The Newport
comes from Colon. Her command.
er, Captain Conner, reports that
when the Claribel was sighted, she
was burning distress signals which
demanded immediate assistance.
The Newport stood by until day
light, when the Claribel signalled
"Disabled; will you take US in
tow" On answesing EYES," the
people on the Newport saw a small
boat lowered which brought a line
to which the Viewpoints hawser
attached and after considerable
difficulty was carried to the dis
abled vessel. The officers in the
small boat said that during a
heavy gale q tremendous sea

some lines from her deck which
were swept aft, fouling the propel.
Ter. The engines were stopped and
the pumps found to be choked and
refused to work. She lay thus at
the mercy Of the waves until the
Newport took her in tow. 1t was
noted that the foretop mast was
broken, and after the boats re-
turned on board, the main rail
amidships was smashed and car
ried away. The Newport started
ahead carefully with the Claribel
In tow, but to the establishment Of
all on board, the hawser was let
go and the Claribel signalled to
proceed and to report to her own
ers, at the same time dipping the
colors goodbye" which were
answered, and the Newport pro.
ceeded on her voyage. The Clari-
bel is one OF the Atlas liners run
ming regularly between this port
and the ports in Jamaica. PIN,

in this city. She is commanded
by Captain Cote, and was built in

was in cost Of transportation. Com

of the Santa Fe but they declined
to make any changes, as the road
was soon to go out OF their hands.
Sunday last it is said meeting Of
Presidents Jeffrey and Ridley and
Receiver Trumbull was held at
which the matter was discussed
and taken under advisement by
President Ridley. A telegram from
the latter announces that the old

ANOTHER RECEIVER WANTED
Petition for the Removal of Re
ceiver Terrell, of the Gulf Shore.

Petition for the Removal of Re-
ceiver Terrell, of the Gulf Shore.
The Davis-Fry faction OF the
Cult Shore affair has filed a Pc
tition for the removal OF Receiver
Terrell and to put a "practi.
cal man" in the office. The petit
ton accuses Receiver Terrell Of
preventing the stock holders from
gaining possession Of the property
and creating as much debt as pos
sible, so his friends can control the
certificates. The receiver is also
accused of entailing loss Of $10,-
600 by removing a siding from
Saunders and also by removing
side track on New Braunfels ave-
nue., which was mentioned as
part of the company's terminal
facilities, thereby damaging the
sale of the company's bonds. The
petition charges the receiver with
diverting the road to Cuero in or
der to advance the interests Of his
father, who owns property at that
place, and also with spending
$4,000 for a side track to sand
pit, the revenue Of which amount
ed to only $4S for the first month.
Instead Of inviting competition Of
rival express companies for bust
ness over the road, he awarded the
contract to the Pacific Express
company, while another express
company offered to take bonds and
pay royalty for the privilege.

Senator VOORHEES, and his inyestigat-
ing committee were expected to hold a
conference at the State House on Tues
day for the purpose of fixing the time
and place of an inquiry in connection
with water affairs in Newark. Senator
VOORHEES, got there but the other MEM
bers of the committee failed to appear.
There is nov no doubt that the dark
est kind of mystery envelopes thefuture
movements of the investigating COM
mittee. So far as can be learned it has
no definite purpose at present but quiet
ly to permit itself to expire. The fact
is the committees special corps of de-
tectives in Essex County have not re.
ported anything upon which the COM
mittee thinks it would be justified in
going to Newark and bringing out a
whole lot of testimony of the innuendO
order. On the other hand the commit
tee does not want to get good Repub-
licans in trouble, as it found out an in
qulry into Newark's water supply would
thus result. 1t is believed, however,
that if by some chance, at present un-
foreseen, the Republican Gubernatorial
Convention should decide to nominate
Foster NJ. VooI hees the committee will
evince a sudden and enthusiastic desire
to continue work. In case OF any one
else being nominated the committee
will smilingly announce that it can find
nothing to do.

Cannot EIect Judges.

The decision of the State Supreme
Court announced on Monday by Judge
Van Syckel, which declares the Voor-
hees Elective Judiciary bill, otherwise
known as the County Court law, uneon-
stitutional is welcomed news to the
politicians of several counties where
there were warm contests going on for
nominations for the Offices. Lay Judge
Schalk, of Essex, took the case to court
for a decision and asked for a manda-
mus to restrain the Clerk of Essex
County from putting the name of the
candidates for County Judge on the
ticket and it has been granted On the
constitutional ground that Judges of
the Inferior Court of Common Pleas
shall be nominated by theGOvernor and
appointed by him with the advice and
consent of the Senate;" also that the
names of the Courts cannot be changed
and its jurisdiction cannot be transfer.
red bodily as it has been in this case,
to be exercised by Judges not appointed
as the Constitution provides. The only
way by which the Courts can be chang.
ed and the judges made elective is by a
constitutional amendment.
This law vas Senator Voorhees, pet
measure and tue decision is quiet a set
back for such a brilliant leader and
lawyer.

The Jersey City Jomnai thinks that
''if the Democratic managers make up
their minds that their party is doomed
to defeat, they will allow farmer Gus
Cutler to take their nomination" We
are not so sure Of that. AS we view
the situation. the Democratic mana
gers-that is, the men who have hither-
to acted in that capacity-are rather in
clined to view Mr.. Cutters candidacy
with favor. They regard him as any
thing but a weak candidate and not a
few of them rank him above Chancellor
McGilI in running qualities. III fact,
so far as the professional politicians are
concerned we believe Cutler is more
popular than McGill, and it is by no
means certain that he would not prove
a more effective campaigner. Those
who are acquainted with Mr.. Cutler
know him to be a man of energy and
determinatiun-qualities which count
in a political contestant they also
know that unless he has greatly chang
ed during the past few years he would
make the campaign a very interesting
n Farmer Cutler is no novice in
the field of politics. He has been there
before, as the Republicans of his Sec
ton know to their sOrrow.-W. j.

When Congress meets in December
both houses will be overwhelmed with
petitions asking for the recognition OF
the belligerent Cubans, These petit
tions are already being prepared in the
West, and they will oon be circulated
throughout the country. The New
York World thinks that failure to act
upon them will force the issue in the
Presidential campaign at Il time when
the majority of our people are undoubt'
eddy in sympathy with the Cubans.
There will be a division in Congress,
Cuba will have many champions, but
on the other hand every Tory and every
sympathizer with monarchy will bt

Republican Convention.

The Republican State convention 20
nominate a candidate for Governor will
meet in Trenton on next Thursday, 10.
1t has been generally conceded for two
months that John Kean, who ran three
years ago against Gov. Werts, will be
renominated, as he is Senator Sewell's
and most of the State leaders choice.
Yet ex-senator John w. Griggs, of
Passaic, has been making a little ex-
citement by his ~canvassing forthe nom
nation with Garret A. Hobert, the
State member of the National RePubli
can committee urging him on. Mr..
Griggs was Senator from 1888 to 1855.
He took a prominent part in railroad
legislation and was the active leader in
passing the local option law, which fact
is being used against him among the
Germans up Jersey, notwithstanding
he has renounced local option, and the
| President of the State Liquor League
stated he did not know of any pronoun-
| ced sentiment against him.
Mr.. Griggs claims some credit in
helping pass the railroad taxation laws,
urged by Leon Albeit, when Governor,
and use to pose on the anti corporation
side, but he is now the attorney of Nor
ris d Essex Railroad company.
Some who like a streak of political
independence wish Senator Foster M.
Voorhees, nominated, who has proved
himself an able statesman in shaping
legislation and uncovering frauds on
the State by leading the Senate Investi-
eating Committee. Mr.. Sewell ac-
knowledges he is the logical candidate,
but as he has struck some prominent
Republicans hard in the investigation
is not rich, and cannot be handled by
the machine very well he will have but
few delegates, AZ he comes from Johr
kean's county-Union.
Elias Ward, of Essex; Sheriff Johr
lofty, of Hudson; Senator Rogers, Of
Camden; Congressman Gardner, of At
lantic and eX Congressman George
Hires, of Salem, have been mentioned
as probable candidates, but not serious
ly. ToGfey has withdrawn and the 9th
ers will receive only a few compliment
tary votes on the first ballot, and servt
as stool pigeons for John Kean.
The real contest will be between
Kean and Griggs and Kean will prob
