President Orr. of the Rapid Transit Commits
sion, was the principal witness at the rapid
transit hearing yesterday and expressed his con
vcton in the frmcst manner that the under
ground system would be success as com
mcrcial enterprise and would prove exceedingly
valuable as Il source of revenue TO the city. On
the question Of what constitutes rapid transit
Mr.. Orr has clear and positive ideas. He be-
lcves that on such system the general public
should be able 10 travel twenty or twenty-five
miles an hour. and that people living outside
the business limits should travel on trains run
ming forty or forty-fv miles an hour. Such
rates of speed are attainable only on under
ground roads They are not too high. Mr.. Orrs
study of the question makes him witness or
the first Importance. and no one can doubt that
he knows what the city wants and needs.

The Excise Commissioners took important
action yesterday in resolving 10 increase the
liouor license fees and To decrease the number
Of licensed saloons in the city. The fees were
increased to the highest limit allowed by law.
being in the case of regular saloons an advance
from 5000 TO $3.50, ana for ale and beer licenses
from $50 to SO This will doubtless have some
effect in reducing the excessive number OF
saloons, but Il more positive step to secure this
end was the adoption OF a rule that no new ap-
pcation for license will be granted save on
the closing of two existing saloons and not even
then unless it is shown that the new place Is
demanded as public convenience. The same
rule is to apply In cases where licenses are re-
voked by the Board. 1t is significant that. as
the result of his experience, Commissioner Muir

pressed his willingness to make an affidavit to

effort of the lawyers officially connected with

LONDON. July %, 1S95.-The Interna-

St. Martins Town Hall today and the
question of the admission of Anarchists
as delegates, which yesterday preeipstatad
a free grt and caused tne chairman to
declare the Congress adjourned. was
again taken up for final action
The chair today was. occupied by Herr

English fiuently. After the usual prelimi-
naries the Congress took up the question
Of the admission of Anarchists, againsa
which a large majority vote was cast
yesterday. Speeches for and against their
recognition as delegates We're made by
Joan Jaures. a Radical Socialist member
Mann, who was formerly a member of
the House of Commons and several other
properly accredited delegates.
The speakers were very much excited
the Anarch. SITS hotly contended that If
they were not admitted the Congress
would not be internationally representa-
tive in lis scope, and that its decisions
and conclusions would not carry the
weight which they would Otherwise
have. The opponents of the pro-
position declared with equal spirit
that the admission of the Anar-
ch.sts would have the effect Of
leading the general public to believe that
paganda, which the speakers eontended
was not the case.
Eventually another vote was taken and
it was finally decided that the Anarchists
should not be admitted The Congress

Stew ART THE GASEOUS
Nevada Senator Says Pops Will
Support Bryan Eve.
Against His Will.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2s. 1885,
Senator Stewart of Nevada, who was one
of the active forces at the recent ssixer
and Pepulist conventions in ST. Louis, re-
turned to the city this morning
United Press reporter asked him what
importance he attached to the published
report today that Chairman Jones, of the
Democratic National Committee and GOV
Stone, of Missouri, were considering the
adyisability of withdraw ng Bryan's
name from the Populist ticket In MAX
ing mis- reply, Senator Stewart drew free
ly upon his picturesque, forcible and well
stocked vocabulary of English. He said
Nome whatever. Neither Chairman
Jones nor Bryan nor any other individual
can prevent the Popullsts from using
Bryan's name and voting for him Tne
PEOPLE have some rights as well as the
candidates. The vast majority of the
Populists are friends of Bryan, and will
do everything i'm their power to secure his
election. They win present nothing to
him for acceptance or rejection, TO give
the enemy the opportunity TO divide Ehe
friends Of financial reform. Bryan's rec
ord is all the platform any true financial
feformer can possibly desire"
"Will any communication be made by
the Populist leaders OF the convention
to Mr.. Bryan?'
Il see no propriety in communicating
to Mr. Bryan what occurred at st. Louis
at the Populist Convention or calling up
on him to discuss the Populist platform
Any proceeding of that kind could have
but one object, namely, to embarrass
and defeat him. The Popuiists who voted
for him in convention don't want to de-

TRACK OF The STORM
Lightning, Wind and Rain
Did Much Damage
Last Night.
STRANGE ACCIDENT TO A CITIZEN
Some Of the Avenues We're Impas-
sable Because of the Water
Trees Suffered.

The electrical storm of last evening
caused considerable damage on the
Heights Trees were blown down and
the ground literally strewn with leaves
and branches. Several handsome shade
trees on Bergen avenue were sflorn of a
great many branches and presented an
odd appearance.
Paramount avenue, in the vicinity of
the Boulevard. was for some time almost
completely Inundated. The rain flooded
the streets and to add to the annoyance
a water main burst and lent its aid in
making the street resemble lake Resi-
dents pondered over the advisabiiity of
hiring rowboats or buildings rafts to get
to the stores.
On the corner of Fairmount and Ber-
gen avenues telegraph pole in front of
john Heyes saloon was struck by light
ming and gave everyone in the saloon a
scare.
All along Bergen avenue traces of the
storm We're noticeable and some were
visible this Afternoon.
The severe lightning struck a circuit
breaker on one of the trolley wires at
the Five Corners and burned the safety
fuse entirely out and the wire to a
fected and the cars We're not delayed.
As the lightning struck the wire, man
was passing within few feet of it and
a large Sall Of fire dropped directly in
front of MIN. He was shocked and blind
eG FOR a few moments and had to be led
away His sight gradually returned to
him and he said that he could see as
well as ever. He refused to give his
name. No Other damage is kngwn to
have been done by the storm in that sec
ton.
Many birds were killed during the storm
in the Rayonne and Greenville sections
Crowds of Italians gathered the poor
things in baskets, and sparrow pies will
be the principal hors doeuvre at the
tables of the residents of the Italian COL
onies of the city today.
The tracks on the Bayonne line were
flooded in many seetfoas At the ..horse-
shoe bend beyond the car stables the
water was about six inches deep. The pas
sengers on the open cars to Bayonne were
forced to perch on the backs Of the seats
as the curtains did not furnish sufficient
protection The closed cars Were ordered
our. but they could not be gotten from
the stables before the storm was over
and they were kept on all night.
