He said the contests which were now
under consideration by the national
committee were of little or no conse.
quence because it was evident that Nc
Kinley already had over 500 uncon'
tested votes making it evident that tho
people demanded his nomination. He
acquiesced in the suggestion that Mo.

clamation and said the sooner the con.

SHE IS STILL ASHORE.
Tugs Still at Work on the Steamer st.
 Paul.


 New York, Jan. Sl,-Four tugs of the Merritt Wrecking company Were at work this morning in another endeavor to pull the St. Paul out of the sand off Long Branch. The vessel refused to budge and there is little likelihood now of getting her off the beach into deep water until the wind blows from the east. This is the last day that the wreckers can hope for a spring tide. The wreckers have now abandoned all idea of hauling the St. Pauls stern di- rectly off shore in hope of getting her propellers into deep water, This plan was originally adopted because by sounding toward the sea off the port side of the ship, as she points to the south, it was found that she could be floated one hundred feet at right angles from the spot where she is now cradled in the sand.
 The attempt to haul the ships stern out to sea threatened to strain the hull and was also responsible for her heavy
  list to port. The tugs to-day were hauling the ship on line with her keel in the sand-that is to say, without try ing to twist har stern seaward.
 Before abandoning the first plan the wreckers took soundings in the direc- tion in which they contemplated haul ing. They found it will be necessary to haul the St. Paul her entire length, or nearly 600 feet, to get the ship into deep water. This gives the work of get ting the ship off the beach a more diff cult aspect. The wind this morning was northwest. blowing lightly when the tugs began to work at o'clock. By 9 o'clock, however, it hauled around to the northeast and the sea began to gel choppy. The wind was not rough enough to make any great difference in the tide, however

 Young Bates Gets His Pay and Then Goes Out for Lark--He is Now in the Hos- pital Minus an Arm.
 Frank Bates, aged twenty-two, who boards on Franklin street, was struck and terribly injured by a train under the State street railroad bridge last night. He was found lying on the track with his left arm almost severed from his body, conscious, but stupid from pain and liquor, by Officer John Me Queeney
 The officer first saw him in the rail- road cut back of steamer 2s house and had shouted to him to get up out of there. This was few minutes after 10 o'clock. He had started and was on the north side of the Grand avenue bridge when freight train came rolling in on the Hartford division. He was struck by the train and his left arm almost entirely crushed.
 The officer found him under the State street bridge after the train had passed. He had wandered there in his agony. The officer assisted him to the street and sent word to police headquarters. Sergeant Mcbride sent the police ambu- lance to the place and Bates was taken to the hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate the arm.
 Bates is unmarried and does not live with his parents. He has been working at o. B. North's and received his pay last night and spent most of it for Ilq- uor

Washington, Jan. 31.-Secretary Her bert sent to the house committee on na- val affairs to-day a reply to resolu- tion with reference to the alleged dis charge of certain mechanics who were appointed at the Brooklyn navy yard after competitive examination. The sec- retary states that the department in all matters inquired about has been gov erned absolutely by the regulations. The regulations are intended to secure the best and most economical work at the hands of it's employees and to free the working force from partisan and personal conside. ationS.

Republicans Hold Caucus.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The republicans of the senate held a caucus this after noon for the purpose of coming to some conclusion if possible, on the subject of recognizing the elective offices of the senate. Nothing was done, and after a discussion of more than an hour an ad- journment was taken until Friday. The discussion showed a wide difference of opinion between senators. The more conservative members are inclined to leave things as they are; others favor permitting Sergeant-atArms Bright, who is democrat, to stay where he is, but insist that a new secretary shall be elected. The western men are par ticularly anxious for reorganization throughout, for the reason that they have no patronage and by such an ar rangement they would be able to get a few of the crumbs that fall.

STILL IN OBEYfNCE.
Armenian Request of Senate Does Not Nice
 With Favor.

Washington, Jan. 31.-There is reason to believe the request made in the Ar menia resolutions adopted by the sen ate and house that a copy of those resolutions be transmitted to the six treaty powers of Europe does not meet with the favor of the admins tra ton. The resolutions declare it an imperative duty in the interest of humanity to ex- press the earnest hope that the Euro pean concert may speedily be given it's just effects in such decisive measures as shall stay the hand of fam aticism and lawless violence.
 The president and secretary of state have obtained the views of several prominent persons on the propriety of transmitting such a. request and it is said that as a result they are impressed with the belief that the government will have exceeded it's international func- tions should the suggestion of the sen- ate and the house be acceded to.
 The question came up at the cabinet meeting to-day and it is understood the president and his advisers do not see their way to comply with the wishes of congress in the manner indicated. The matter, however, is said to be still in allowance.

 He was arrested July %, 1890, for breach of the peace against his wife and fined $10 and costs. On September 1 he was arrested for breach Of the peace against her again on two occa- sions, but was discharged on both counts On October 30 of the same year he was again before the court and fined $10 for beating his wife, and on Feb ruary ii, 1891, he was fined $3 for the same offense.
 He was jealous of his wife, although people who knew her claim that she had always exerted her faithfulness to him.
 In an interview with reporters Ripple stated that he had not been drinking during the day He would make no other statement and said he had no con- feSsion to make
 He was extremely nervous and Police Surgeon Louis J. Gaynor administered @ sedative after which he became more calm.
 The murdered woman was Mary Zeek, daughter of Rudolph Zeek who former ly lived here, but who has been away almost thirty years. She has a sister, who is married and lives on Greenwich avenue.
 It was found at the autopsy that the woman had seven wounds, all apparent ly made by the knife. One wound in the right breast would of itself prove fatal, and another in the abdomen was also of a nature to prove fatal.

DID NOT DRAW COLOR LINE.
Reasons Given Why Bishop Arnett Was
 Refused Rooms.


 Boston, Jan. 31.-Regarding the diffi- culty experienced by Bishop Arnett the colored preacher, in securing hotel accommodations at the Adams and Parker houses and Young's hotel on Wednesday night, an authorized repre- sentative of Prietor Hall of the first named hostelry said tonight:
 We have often given rooms to col ored men and Bishop Arnett was not refused because of his color We were already crowded, indeed, the next morn ing we had page full of names of these whom We had been obliged to turn away during the night
 Proprietor James R. Whipple, who controls the Parker house and Youngs, expressed regret that such man as Bishop Arnett should have been turned away. Had I been here" said he, ''so unusual and uncalled for an incident would never have occurred. I was in Richmond at the time. Upon investiga- tlon I learn that the Parker was so crowded that even the president could not have been accommodated. At Youngs, however, there was plenty of room and in refusing the bishop per- mission to register the clerk acted upon his own authority Had he referred the case to any one of my partners there would have been no question as to the courtesy With which the bishop would have been received. Gentlemen are always welcome in my houses, what ever may be their race or color"
