TRACEY MAY NOT RUN.
New York Republicans Now Talk OF
COmprOmise with Seth Low.


Compromise with Seth Low.
NEW YORK, Sept. ga conference OF
the Republican leaders of Greater New
York was held to-day. The conference dis
cussed the arrangements Of details for
Tuesdays convention and the availability
of candidates for controller and president
of the Council. No action of a decisive
character was taken. A talk with several
of the conferees gave the impression that
General Tracey's name will not be pre-
scented to the convention on Tuesday. In
fact If the very earnest declarations OF
some well-known and inspired" statesmen
are worth anything at all, the chances of a
lines not yet clearly outlined are very good,
indeed The other candidates spoken of are
AShbel p. Fitch, to be renominated for con-
troller; r. Ross Appleton, of Brooklyn, for
president of the Council and probably
Thomas L. Hamilton for sheriff
The Brooklyn Eagle to-day published the
statement that there was positive author
ity for saying that Seth Low had declared
terms by which he would withdraw in IA
vor of a Republican nominee for mayor.
Tonight Mr.. Low, in answer to a direct
question, wrote this reply:
THE statement in the Eagle was made
without authority from me and repre-
sents me in an attitude have never TAX
en-. The reporter unwittingly attributed to
me what he could well have attributed to
himself
The article did not attribute any state
ment to Mr. Low. 1t said, however, that
Chairman Reynolds, of the Citizens Union.
had verified the report that such terms
had been made. He could not be seen to-
night.

The leading bakeries of the city are now
doing the largest business in their history.
Mr.. Taggart, of the firm of Taggart q Par
rott says that last week was the banner
one with their establishment, and the month
of September is to be the banner month.
On several days this month there has been
two hundred barrels of flour converted into
bread and cakes. Their business has so in
creased in the last two years that they are
contemplating making an addition TO their
plant, which, if carried out, will cost $4,000.
and make it one of the largest bakeries in
the West.
AT the Bryce bakery they are very busy,
employing more people than at any former
period. This establishment has large out
side trade as we'll as in the city, 1t being
among the oldest of the bakeries in the
State. The demand for crackers Is on the
increase of late, and in this line the Bryce
people make a speciality.
The HitZ Baking Company has its new
building on South Alabama nearing COM
pletion. 1t is four stories high, aud has
frontage on Virginia avenue and on Ala
bama street, and ranks among the largest
and best-constructed buildings in the city.
The company expects to get into the new
building by Nov. 1, and on removing from
the present quarters will largely increase
the production. The plant is to be provided
with the most modern machinery used in the
large bakeries of the country. When ready
for operation the building and the other i'm
provements will cost in the nelghborhood
of $50 600.

A New CENTRIFUGAL Pumn.

Jacob Baker, of Ohio, is exhibiting at Is
East South street model of what he
claims to be a force pump of unusual
power compared to the energy expended in
it's operation. The power of centrifugal
force is utilized by the inventor. Within
a cylinder about twenty-eight inches in
diameter and half as high is a revolving up
right water pipe. AT the top of this pipe is
number of pipes leading off from it at
right angles and reaching almost to the
inner side of the cylinder. The upright
pipe extends into the source of supply and
is geared to the motive power so as to be
made to revolve very rapidly. AS it re-
wolves the centrifugal force throws the
water from the ends of the short horizontal
pipes at a very high pressure. AS the
water leaves these short pipes more water
is drawn into the main feed pipe and as
cendS to the horizontal pipes. The pipes
that carry the water out of the cylinder are
attached in such a way that as soon as
little water is thrown into the main cylin-
der the exit is closed and no air can escape.
The air thus confined is then used as
cushion to maintain the even pressure in
the outlet pipe, and at the same time fills
the upper part of the cylinder SO that the
revolving part of the apparatus is re-
tarded only by the friction of the air, the
water never reaching that high IN the CYL
inder. The inventor claims that, with a
cylinder twenty-eght inches in diameter,
he can get a water pressure or lOO pOuIluS
with 900 revolutions a minute.

THE TOMATO IS QUEEN
PRESIDING GENIUS AT PRESENT OF
THE LOCAL CANNING HOUSES.
Good Crop and Good Prices, with
Frost still Holding 0R-Sea-
son at Its Height.

The local fruit and vegetable canning es-
Establishments are this year exceeding all
former records in volume of goods manu-
featured from tomatoes. The Van Camp
Packing Company has for some time given
employment to five hundred men and
women, and Mr. Van Camp says their bust
ness last week exceeded in volume that of
any week in the history of the establish
ment. At one time on Friday there were
seventy-two wagon loads of tomatoes
standing about the plant waiting an oppor-
tunity to unload and as tomatoes have
brought very good prices, farmers within
twelve miles of indianapolis have profited
handsomely by raising a good tomato crop.
The delay in the coming OF a frost in this
section has been a very fortunate factor in
this line of business. On Saturday this es-
adjustment shipped a train of eighteen
carloads of catsup. The season with all the
canning establishments is now at its
height, and if the frost holds oft there will
be more tomatoes canned and converted
into catsups and other products than in any
former year.
The Mullen-Blackledge Company is run
ming twenty-four hours day The plant is
converting 5000 bushels of tomatoes a day.
These tomatoes are made into catsup and
tomato soup, winch are shipped to all parts
OF the United States, from Portland Me-,
to San Francisco. The company is shipping
from three to five carloads a day and has
orders for fifty cars more to be shipped
during the next sixty days. This firm does
not can tomatoes except for its own use. 1t

such as catsup,, chilli sauce, soups Qifteen

Jobber in the country to whom it does not

Some One After Connie Mack's Build
Will BE Selected.

Now that it is definitely known the team

the top twice and into second place once,
the possibilities for next season are being
discussed pretty freely,

for the position, and somebody will be Sc
