MIR. Plants New steamer to BE
Ready I'm a Few Weeks


Ready I'm Few Weeks.
Col. b. W. Wrenn, passenger traffic man
ager of the Plant system. was asked yes
terday what the system contemplates do
ing with the new coastwise steamer, the
Grand Duchess, which is expected to be
ready for use within a few weeks.
There have been many reports about
what President H. 3. Plant intended to
do with her, the last published being that
she was to be put on in connection with
the Clyde line, between Charleston and
New York. When asked about this report
yesterday, Col Wrenn said:
Il know nothing whatever of it. I only
know that the Grand Duchess will be
ready to sail about the latter part of
July, and that she viii then be put on
the Canada Atlantic and Plant Steamship
Line, between Boston and Halifax as
mas already been advertised. We have
announced she would run between these
points, and she will be on this line during
the remainder Of the season after she IS
ready. What Mr.. Plant will do with the
new ship after the summer season is
over, / do not know, and 1 don't think he
has yet decided himself She is the finest
coastwise steamer afioat and will make
put on"
When the Grand Duchess IS ready for
business the Canada Atlantic and Plant
steamship Line will run five steamers a
week between Boston and Halifax At
least two of these trips will be made by
the Grand Duchess, which will not go
beyond Halifax. as the other steamers
do. The Olivette and the Halifax will
continue to make trips to Halifax,
Hawkesbury and Charlottetown. Prince

A RESULT OF THE A. p. A.
Mr.. samuel II. Adams Card and. Mr..
ID. Ii. Testers Reply.

The subject mainly discussed in political
circles yesterday was the interchange of
cards through the newspapers by Mr..
Samuel B. Adams and Mr.. d. B. Lester.
Mr.. Adams card appeared in yester-
days Morning News, and Mr.. Testers
appears in the Morning News of to-day.
Both cards contain severe and pointed
language.
Mr.. Adams reclted the manner in which
the report was brought to his attention
tnat Mr. Lester had, al an American Pro-
tective Association meeting made GER
tain criticisms upon his course i'm pub
fishing card bearing on the political
situation signed Danger" and mad as
serted that he had forsworn his creed
and his efforts to obtain a satisfactory
answer from Mr.. Lester without success
closing with a severe denunciation.
In his reply Mr.. Lester uses some very
emphatic language, and denounces the
offensive portion Of Mr.. Adams card as
false.
Comments upon the two cards. both OF
which were published yesterday, vary 10
some degree, according to the political
views of the commentators or their friend
ship for one or the other Of the parties.
There is a general expectation that in
teresting developments are to be expect
ed in the immedite future

Mr.. J. J. Graham, harbor master, also
announced his withdrawal from the Cit
liens club yesterday for the same rea-
sons which caused Mr.. Morrissey's with
drawal that the A. p. A. element had
become too prominent in the club and its
intention of controlling is too plain. Mr.
Graham was a member of the committee
of 100 of the Citizens Club. to which the
work Of selecting the ticket for the re-
cent primary was delegated. The A. p
A. element, he states, boldly demanded
representation on the ticket and secured
it. 1t was the composition of this ticket
which decided him to withdraw from the
club.

Mr.. O'Keefe Held for Carrying Con-
cenled WeapOns-MOre Warrants.
Sidney Lilienthal was fined $40 by Mayor
Myers yesterday morning for his assault
upon Business Manager O'Keefe of the
Evening Herald Saturday. The evidence
was similar to the account of the affair
given in Sundays Morning News.
After disposing of the Lilienthal case
Mayor Myers took up the case of carrying
concealed weapons against Mr.. O'Keefe,
the charge having been preferred by Lii
ienthal.
Mr.. O'Keefe did not deny having a pis-
tol in his pocket at the time the assault
occurred, but held that having been mott
fed that he was in danger of being as
saulted, he had a perfect right to carry a
pistol in his own office, The mayor did
not take that view of the case and turned
Mr.. OKeefe over TO the city court
Yesterday afternoon three warrants
We're sworn out by Mr.. O'Keefe for Lii
ienthal, charging him with false swear
ing, assault and battery and breaking the
peace. The warrants were sworn out be-
fore Justice Patterson. Lilienthal was
arrested and gave bond.
