The MayOralty Race in New York
Becomes Greatly Com
plicated.
SENATOR JONES HAS HIS SAY.
The Straw Votes Yesterday and How They
Resulted-Georgs and Van Wyck
in the Lead

Washington, Oct. S.-Senator James
X. jones', chairman of the national
democratic committee, says he will
take no part in the municipal contest
in Greater New York. Senator Jones
disclains any responsibility for the
action of Secretary Walsh in indors-
ing the candidacy OF Henry George,
remarking that as an individual Walsh
had the right to take whatever action
he considered proper. Asked as to
what course had been pursued regard
ing the situation in New York Senator
Jones said:
81 do not think 1t within my duty
to assume any authority in this mat
ter for the national committee. AS
chairman of the national committee
do not propose to draw into it, for 1
have no authority to speak for the
committee and it would be impossible
to act as an individual and divorce my
own personality from my position as
chairman. There is no occasion for
me to endorse or dlsapprove the nom
ination of either Van Wyck or Henry
George"
In regard to the letter said to have
been written by Mr.. Jones to Senator
Murphy, in which he is reported as
advising against the reaffirmation of
the Chicago platform by the New York
state convention, the chairman said
the publication sounded very much
like what either he had written or
said to some one in New York, but If
he said it, 1t was not his intention Of
having it used as 1t was used in the
New York meeting. Mr.. Jones said
ne took the general ground that 1.-THE
Chicago platform was binding upon
every democrat" and that nothing any
state or municipal convention might
do could add to or take away from the
platform; it could neither be strength
ened nor weakened.

That Will Be the Question for the
the Expert to Answer
Today.
SPECIAL COMMITTEE TO MEET.
And Hear the Report of the Investigation on
the Light and Water
Outfit.

Mr.. Wilcox, the expert light and
water man who has been in the city
for several weeks. at the instance of
the city council, investigating the
condition of the Light and Water
company's plant, has formulated his
report.
It gives Mr Wllcox's estimate of the
present value OF the plant, Of It's suit
ability for municipal ownership, its
probable future lease of life as now
equipped, and what other points he
has gathered in his patient inspection
and investigation.
The city secured the services of Mr..
Wilcox in accordance with its ex-
pressed intention of purchasing the
plant.
A meeting of the special COMMITTEES
on the purchase of the plant will be
held this morning at 10 o'clock at the
mayors office IN the city hall, for the
purpose of hearing what Mr.. Wilcox
has to say about the equipment and
qualifications of the Darkness and
Drought. His statements will un-
doubtedly be quite interesting, as he
has very carefully goDe over the
ground and gained all the informa-
tion possible.
The special committee consists of
three citizens, ex-Mayor E. Fl. Mason,
Mr.. James S. Wright and Mr.. G. D.
Ogg, and three members of council,
Mayor Johnson, Alderman Fendig
and Alderman Butts. This committee
will, after hearing Mr.. Wileox's re-
port, probably formulate report to
the next meeting of council.
The experts report is not yet pub
lie property, and may not be given
out today, even after it has been pre-
sented to the committee. There are
indications, however, that it is net IA
vOrable to the plant, either as to pres
ent value or future usefulness. THE
TIMES has it on good authority that
Mr.. Wilcox will declare the piping
now in use about worn out, and the
machinery, with the exception of that
in the incandescent light plant, in a
bad condition. The publication of the
awaited with anxious interest.

Bulletin.

New Orleans, Oct. Sat l O'Clock
the board of health reported that there
has been 20 new cases and 4 deaths to
that hour today.
The number of recoverles is averag-
ing 20 per day. The death rate last
night had sunk below 10 per cent,
owing to an increase IN new cases and
decrease in deaths.
The police had to be sent to Henry
Clay avenue and Harris street to re-
strain a small colony of Italians from
getting out of the house in which they
had been quartered. The first case of
the season has appeared at the police
station and extra precautions have
been taken to prevent the spread of
the Infection in that institution, in
which tramps and other similar char
acters are confined.

LIKES CAMDEN.
Governor Atkinson Highly Pleased With
That County.
nOon,

The Constitution says:
Governor Atkinson was much i'm
pressed with Camden county on his
recent trip. He went to St. Mary's,
where a barbecue was given IN his
honor, and met great many of the
people.
81 was struck by the intelligence
and prosperous appearance of all the
citizens" said he. "They have rich
lands which produce enormous crops
of corn and sea island cotton. In the
latter they get about twice what we
get for upland cotton. 1t is easier to
make living down there than it is In
north Georgia, and the people have
prosperous, liberal look. Although
the impression prevails that there is
more or less malaria in that part of
the state, notice that the people are
very healthy specimens"

Don't Buy Wornout Plant Go Slowly.
BESTIR YOURSELVES
Get Move In For the LyOeum In TOdsy's
Canvass.

The lyceum canVass was "dead
slow" yesterday. The canvassers
were busy at other tasks, and only q
few members we're secured. The num-
Der now stands at 95-and 55 more
names are necessary.
A number of those approached say
they will "see about it later" This Is
bad policy, so far as the lyceum is
concerned, as it makes the work of Sc
curing the requisite membership
much harder. II all those who in
tend to come in would come in now, a
great deal of difficulty would be avoid
ed.
The fact that only three ministers
are on the list suggests that the orga-
nizatlon should certainly have the
support of the city preachers, as it is
an effort to bring clean, healthful and
instructive entertainments to the city.
The doctors and lawyers are also sadly
lacking in interest in the matter
the doctors especially, only two having
enrolled. The business men have furn-
ished the great majority of the mem
bership.
Those enrolled yesterday were: II.
M. Reid, Rev. D. Watson Winnn, L.
NJ. Haym, w. Nussbaum, j, O. Bost-
wick, j. M. Madden, Connolly.
1t is hoped that the canvasssrs will
especially bestir themselves today,
and get good crop.

TORPEDO BOAT CATCHER.

One to Be Built on the Harlem River for
the Navy.
New York, Oct. S-The first torpedo
boat catcher ever built in the port of
New York is about to be constructed
on the Harlem river for the United
States navy.
The new boat, when completed, will
be the fastest vessel possessed by the
United States government. The navy
department has demanded that speed
of not less than thirty knots an hour
be shown as result of three hours
continuous run. 1t is expected that
the new boat will attain speed of
nearly thlrty-three knots an hour,
which means an equivalent of about
thirty eight statute miles.

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. S.-Horses can
not be hired at any price in Whitman
county, where 100000 bushels of
grain were harvested in one week re-
Gently. The grain was valued at ST.
100000, and the indications were that
with good weather the next weeks
record would EXCEL that, but 1t was al
most impossible to get horses enough
to cart the grain. About Takoa,
thrashers have been so scarce that
large cash bonuses have been offered
for them.

Sudden Deaths.

Rome, Oct. 7.--Susplcion of foul play
is aroused by the sudden deaths, al
most at the same time, of Mgr. Greg
ory Yussup, the Melchlte Patriarch at
Damascus, and Mgr. Cyril Behnam
Benni, the Syrian Patriarch at Mar
din, both of whom were ardent sup
porters'of Pope Leo's scheme for the
reunion of the Oriental churches and
went to Rome in 1895 to confer with
him on the question.

SUNDAYS TIMES.
Some Of the Great Features That Will Make
It Popular,


The SUNDAY TIMES will contain
many interesting features. There
will be number of interesting new
trade advertisements from Bruns-
wIck's leading merchants. A Bruns-
wick lady, whose good work in behalf
of dumb animals has been crowned
with admirable results, will have an
article on this interesting subject.
"Coast-Lines" will be on hand as usual
with something about Brunswick
girls that will cause no end of com.
ment.
A most interesting interview with q
leading Brunswiokian, in which the
convict or penal colony question is
presented in new dress, will also be a
feature.
