There was talk to-day that the de-
feated faction in the Fifteenth New
York district might seek a re-hearing at
the hands of the national committee
| tomorrow.
1t was definitely announced that a
rehearing would be asked for the in
structed Reed delegates in the Sixth
Texas district, Mcdonald (colored) and
e. ii. II. Green, the latter son Of Mrs.
Hetty Green. The contestants did not
arrive here until this morning and the
case was decided by the committee up
on aflidavits. 1t is reported that Mrs,
Green will arrive tomorrow and take
up the cudgels in her sons behalf. The
latter is being pushed for the guberna-
tOrial nomination in Texas, Several
members Of the committee said tonight
they would not consent to a hearing In
any case. Under the rule of the COM
mittee unanimous consent will be re-
quired to revise the roll.
1t was reported tonight that the
Rhode Island delegation would not cast
eight votes for Reed on the first bal
lot. This was denied by V. l.. Free
man, one of the seven delegates already
here, He declared that the full vote
would be cast for the Maine man until
Mckinley or some one else was nomin-
lated.
When the Maryland delegates reach
ed this city this evening the Massa-
chusetts and Maine delegates secured
a band and escorted them to their
quarters. The affair attracted much
attention. The Maryland delegation is
divided between Reed and Mckinley,
The following is given out tonight
from Ohio headquarters to show that
the national committee performed its
duties in the matter of contested seats
in a spirit of fairness to all concerned:

up for this plank, and Mr.. Platt stated
he believed such plank would be in

YESTERDAYS RAIN FALL.


DeserIeus
A heavy downpour of rain, accompa-
MED by a high wind, broke over this
city about IL o'clock Saturday night
and continued during yesterday until 8
o'clock in the afternoon. Occasionally
there was a small rift in the clouds,
as If to give evidence that there was
no need of fear of a repetition of that
ancient occurrence of which Noah and
his family were said to be the surviv-
ing observers, but it was only for a
short time, and soon the overladen res
ervoirs Of moisture would let go their
contents.
The street-sprinkllng problem was
settled for a time without the aid of
assessments on the abutting property
holders or the street railway companies.
All highways, top-dressed or otherwise,
came in for share of the watering.
The only assessment laid upon the
street railway companies was upon the
traffic. Everybody stayed at home and
the rain was more effectual than the
lynX-eyed minions of the Law and Or
der league at the shore resorts.
About town leaves and branches of
trees were streWn all over the pave
ments and streets. Many of the elms
dropped some of their limbs, endanger-
ing the lives of the fearless pedestrians
who We're out in the storm.
A large tree standing at the corner
of Whalley avenue and Norton street
was split by the wind and blown across
the street. On William street a branch
of a tree was broken off. Both were
reported to the police who notified the
superintendent Of parks, Terrence Kel-
ly, who removed them.
The total precipitation for the day
was 1.70 inches, which was .15 less than
that heavy sudden doWnpour of several
weeks ago.
The wind reached thirty-four miles
per hour little before o'clock in the
afternoon, and at y. m. 1t was blow
ing at the rate of twenty eight miles
per hour.
Advices were received from Washing
ton at the weather bureau to keep all
vessels in the harbor, and notice to that
effect was given the captains of the
various craft which had sought shelter
there.

her first Sunday morning trip from
New York without mishap, though the
sound has not for several months been
so rough. Several of the passengers
were seasick, it is said, but other than
this the trip was a successful one.
At the beginning of this month the
accumulated precipitation was 1.99 be-
low the average for the first six months
of former years since record has been
kept
The decrease continued and fell 95,
making the total amount of precipita-
ton 294 inches below the average.
Yesterday at s o'clock p. m, as re-
suit of the storm, 1.70 inches had fallen,
which was 161 inches more than the
normal for the day. This puts the aver
age 133 inches below the same six
months in former years.

NEW YORE CONTESTS.
Morton Loses Four, But Might Have Lost
Twelve Delegates.

Morton Loses Four, But Might Have Lost
Twelve Delegates.
St Louis, June H.--After refusing to
seat Messrs. Cruger and Bliss, the anti
Platt men from the Twelfth New York
district, the national committee early
this morning voted that both delega-
tions be seated, each delegate to have
half a vote.
AT 40 a. m. the committee proceeded
to take up the contest in the Thirteenth
New York district, which William
Brooktield and General Anson (McKin-
leyites) claimed to be the regular dele
gates and were challenged by John
Reisenmehr and Alexander T. Mason
(MOrtOniteS).
The case was opened in a statement
by General McCOok, who claimed that
the convention that nominated him con-
sisted of 100 delegates and that the Sc
lection was by acclamation.
Congressman Quigg followed in be-
half of the Morton delegates, who, in
Mr.. Hanna's handbook had their sec
ond preferences indicated as Reed"
He presented papers to show that the
convention which chose General Nc
Cook and Mr.. BrOokfield was composed
of but 1873 of the 1886 delegates elected.
After Mr.. Lauterbach had supple
mented the presentation of Mr.. Quigg
and the committee went into secret ses-
sion, Mr.. Sutherland of New York ad-
mitted that General McCook and Mr.
Brookfeld had made out their case, and
moved that they be seated. The anti
Platt delegates were placed on the roll
by a unanimous vote.
At 2:30 a. m. the Fifteenth district
contest was called for hearing In this
case those claiming to be the sitting
delegates We're General c. H. T. Coils
and Robert ]. Wright (McKinleyites)
and the contestants Joseph Murray and
David Friedson (Mortontes) Coun-
sellor Spooner of New York opened the
case of the Coils delegates, and Con-
gresham Quigg replied charging that
the employees of the department of pub
lie works, of which General Coils is
commissioner, took possession of the
convention, excluded many regular del
egates and ran the convention with the
aid of the police to suit themselves. In
closing for the Platt delegates Mr. Lau-
terbach asked the committeeman to do
his side justice. Mr.. Spooner reviewed
the case for General Coils, the contest
ants retired and the committee again
went into secret session. Mr.. Suther-
land moved the seating of Murray and
Friedson, the Morton delegates. Cen
erai Clayton moved that Coils and
Wright (McI<inleyites) be given recog-
milton. The Coils delegates were seat
ed--ayes IS, nays 16. The result was
received in the lobby with grOans and
cheers.
At $40 a. m. the last remaining con-
test-that in the Sixth North Carolina
district-was taken up. With little ar
gument the committee decided to seat
the regular delegates-J. w Mullen
and Joseph +. Dudley (colored), in
structed for Mckinley, and the con-
testants-.R. r. Russell Ccolored) and 7.
NJ. Smith (preferences for Allison), with
half a vote each.
The committee then adjourned until
Monday morning.

European Powers Protest Against Turkish
Atrocities in Crete.

Berlin, June 14.-Under arrangement
with the other ambassadors to the Porte
Baron Saurma Won Jeltsch, the German
ambassador at Constantinople, obtain
ed an audience with the sultan on Fri
day last and read to his majesty note
warning Turkey against the certainty
of losing the good will of the powers
by permitting the continuance of atroc-
tiles in Crete. Subsequently the AUS
trian ambassador, Badon de Calice, OBJ
tanned an interview with the sultan
and emphasized the views which had
been expressed by thu German ambas-
sador.
The Macedonian committee, which is
sitting in Sofia, Bulgaria, has decided
to make demand for the autonomics
of the Macedonia, and is practically
conspiring to bring about an insurrec-
ton. 1t is therefore believed that AUS
tria has asked the sultan to consent to
the occupation of Macedonia by Aus
trian troops in the event of an uprising
there.
M. de Galaxy, Austrian minister Of
finance, in speaking upon the Austrian
budget in the Reichstrath on Friday
claimed that Austria Hungary had be-
come Balkan power since that empire
had acquired Bosnia and therefore had
right to interfere in the Balkan penin-
sula. M. de Galaxy limited that plans
which had been discussed at ST. Peters,
burg for confederation of the Balkan
states under Russians port collector
and said that in connection herewith
the prince of Montenegro and the king
of Servia were expected to hold a con-
ference with Prince Ferdinand of Bull
gara at Sofia at the end of the present
month.
The physical ailments of the sultan
are among the factors which are caus-
ing the present diplomatic ferment and
the presentations of the German am
bassador to Turkey are aimed at imme-
diate practical action in Crete, assisting
the kaiser's policy of keeping the peace
of Europe. simultaneously with this
move on the part of Germany, Russia
has urged the Bulgarian government
to put a stop at any cost to the armed
bands raised by the Macedonian COM
mittee crossing the frontier and has
also asked the Greek government to
prohibit the sending of men and mu-
nitions of war from Greece into Crete

HARTARD'S BACCALAUREATE.
Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott of Brooklyn
Preaches the Sermon.

Ireacnes tne sermon.
Cambridge, Mass, June 14.--Harvard's s
baccalaureate sermon was preached
to-day in Appleton chapel by the Rev.
DR.. Lyman Abbott of Brooklyn, N. Y.
Three hundred and sixty seniors marcn-
ed into the chapel in cap and gown,
and they and their friends filled all
seats notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather DR.. Abbott addressed
the men from fthe text found in Mat
thew Xxx. $685. the central idea being
that of service. The text was: who
soever will be great among you, let him
be your minister and servant" In sub
stance, DR.. Abbotts remarks were as
follows:
"Christs conception of life was that
of service. He never treated men by
what they believed; never measured
them by their exterior form of worship
or ceremonial; never told men to join
the church. These conventional tests
of character Christ never applied, His
sole object being that of characters
and service. All professions which are
of helpfulness to others are religions;
professions which are religious are
those which help TO build up humanity.
There is nothing more irreligious than
idleness, whether idleness of the poor
or the rich. Something might be said
for the idle poor men, but nothing for
the idle rich man, or one who has an
equipment of education, wealth or So
cial advantage and does nothing for
the world. Industry means not alone
increased wealth, but elevated ideals
;,to M
get something for nothing is dishonest.
He who has taken and given nothing in
return is either a beggar, a speculator
or a thief The one honest way is to
put back into life at least as much as
we get from it.
"The function of the lawyer is to be
a minister of justice and to translate
the life which the educator or minister
has produced into conduct. The ideal
journalist should give us the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth.
The greatnes of q journal should be
measured by the influence it wields, not
by the length of it's subscription list
The function of literature, poety, fiction
is to elevate the ideals of men. The
novel is not to depict life as it is, but to
stir men to nobler actions and diviner
living. If there were more romance in
our novels and less in our newspapers
we would be much better off. AS to the
ministry, it is a splendid life because
it is a splendid opportunity. In going
forth into life with a great ambition
to be great go forth with God and
mindful of the Christ idea of service to
fellow men,"
