CHARTER AT ALBANY.
An interesting story OF an attempt to work
the Staten Island police force by means OF a sup
charter was developed yesterday. A committee
of Staten Island policemen waited on District-At-
torney George NJ Pnncy jr. of Richmond Coun-
~ who is "A member Of the Commission, and told
him that each member OF their force had been
ouested TO contribute SIS to "A fund for defeating
the Greater New-York charter They had been
told that the policemen Of New-York Brooklyn.
Long Island City and other sections were putting
I'D a similar per capita amount to prevent the
passage OF the charter at Albany. This was being
done on the ground. 1t was alleged, that the new
charter would prove detrimental to the interests
Of the policemen generally throughout the Greater
New-York territory. The committee wanted 10
know OF Mr. Pinney II the proposed levy was all
right. As there are sixty policemen ON the Rich
mond County force. SIS head meant a fund Of $500

Mr.. Pnney was able To show the committee that
instead Of being injured by the charter Il
would prove beneficial TO all policemen outside
New-York city. and would gradually place them
ii level with the force In this city To pen

THE AFTERNOON SESSION.

The committee resumed ITS Investigations after

stand and was closely questioned in the earlier
part Of the afternoon TO the influence exerted
upon the Wholesale Grocers Association by the
Sugar Trust Senator Iexow sought TO show that
,the operations OF the former and the rules 1t had
made were inspired by the trust; but Mr.. Seares,
in his answers contended that the trust took ac-
tive interest these regulations only so far as they
applied 10 the equality OF freighiage.
AS soon as Mr.. searles had taken the stand, Sena-
tor Lexow began to ask him 10 the attitude
adopted by the trust toward the retailers. Mr..
searies admitted that the American Sugar Refining
Company did not rule. sell 10 retailers but

THE DELAY DANGEROUS.
Lord Salisbury Doesn't Like Situation of
Affairs In East.

London, July 6.-In the House of Lords
today the Marquis of Salisbury replying
to Lord Connemara, said the delay in the
settlement of the peace terms between
Turkey and Greece was entirely the fault
of the former. There was no delay so
far as the powers were concerned, but
Turkey had carried deliberation and cir
cumspection to such an excess that the
delay was not without danger. Though
the danger was not immediate. they were
at present no nearer to solution of the
question than before.
Having referred to the situation in 1878,
pointing out that then Russian army
was at the gates of Constantinople, the
Maquis Of Salisbury remarked. that as
proportioned to the circumstances, the
year 1897 became analogous with the year
1878, so his hopes of satisfactory result
increases.
The Marquis of Salisbury further re-
marked: eff Prince Bismarck were pre-
siding at the conference as he did in 1878,
the result would be different. A power
full Russian army was then within a
stones throw of Constantinople and a
suggestion from Prince Bismarck that
failure of the conference would result
in the movement of that army undoubt-
edly produced that effect on Turkish de-
alterations which is the desidertum now" !"

Boston Happy When Sun Went Down
Last Night.

Boston, July 6.-Wtth the going down
of the red sun tonight, the city heaved a
sigh of relief, although the drop in the
temperature was not marked. Three more
victims of the heat were added to the five
already reported and one of them, E. A..
Perkins, living in the South End is like
" to die. Mr.. Perkins was found in
sensible on the corner. of Northampton
and Washington streets, this afternoon,
and taken to the City hospital, where he
lies in critical condition tonight.
Michael Fitzgerald, 3s years old, living
at the West End, succumbed to the effects
of the sultry weather and was sent to his
home on Prince street. He will probably
recover.
John Ryan, IS years old, was prostrated
by the heat and was sent to his home in
Melrose.
Tonight the wind has shifted to the
south and is dragging up considerable
moisture, and if It holds in that quarter
tomorrow it is likely to be much more

mines operated by NJ A. Hanna, where
the iron clad contract is in force, worked
as usual today. The miners, on the 9TH
er hand, maintain that the entire Millers
and Thoms Run district, where these
miners are located is out on a strike. The
operators themselves admit that there
were not the usual number of men at
work in the Snowden and Gastonville
mines operated by the Pittsburg and Chi
cago company, where the iron clad is also
in force.
A fair estimate shows that there are
about 10, 900 of the Il, 900 rail road miners
now out A list of the mines idle along
the rivers could not be obtained here to-
night and reports concerning the river
situation are conflicting. The operators
assert that the river mines are nearly all
running, while the miners officials claim
that they are all idle. Special from
Monongahela City say that 6O0O out OF the
5000 river miners are on strike.
w. P. Dearmitt, president of the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal company,
was emphatic tonight in his statements
that the strike would be a failure. "We
had more men at work today" he said,
ethan any day for a number OF years
after holiday. I attribute this to the
fact that the men came to work because
they did not care to be identified with
this movement. More than 25 mines are
working in the Pittsburg district today. !"
At the miners headquarters, President
Dolan was apparently in the best OF hui
NOR. He had received reports from near
ly every part of the district and seemed
pleased with the prospects. More miners
will join the movement before the end of

Daniel and Charles O'Halloran, BROTH
ers, living in the town of Lowell, arrived
in the town of Olamon, near by for the
purpose, which they had announced in
advance, of breaking up dance there
and cleaning out the town generally
They were thrown out of the hall, falling
10 feet from the stairway to the ground,
and sustained severe injuries. Daniel
came back for satisfaction, and was struck
on the arm with carriage spoke, break
ing the bone. He went to Passadumkeag
| where the broken bone was set, and then
| came to Bangor to get warrant for his
| assailants. But the people who threw the
brothers out of the hall were here first
| and while Daniel was telling his story te
a lawyer they got warrant for his arrest
and he was locked up in Jail to await a
hearing today. The O'Hallorans are
known as bad men, and it is likely thai
they will get sentence that will quiet
them for time.
