THE MARINE ENGINEERS.
President Uhler Offers the Ser
vices of $4,000 in Case of War.

President George Uhler. of the Marine
| Engineers Benevolent Association, today
offered to President Mckinley the ser
vices of $1,000 marine engineers in the
/ event of war.
| American citizens only are members of
the association, and 1t is asserted that
there is not a man among them who could
not take command of the engine room
of any ship afioat.
At the request of many prominent MEM
bers of the association. a circular was
sent to all local associations just after
the Maine was blown up. 1t was pointed
out therein that the crisis brought about
by the disaster made 1t necessary for
American marine engineers to discuss the
question of arranging for the enlistment
of engineers that there might be no de-
lay. should they be needed. Each local
organization was asked to report 10 ma
tional headquarters in Philadelphia at the
earliest possible moment the number Of
men who would be willing to enlist.
Local Association No. 80 of New York
was the first to respond. Its answer was:
I'VE have 1.20S members. of which about
l50 are not in good standing, as they have
not had steady employment and are in
arrears, while many are on the ocean;
but we can report to you after having
discussed the question at a special meet
ing held for that purpose that we have
l,21S men ready to enlist as soon as the
message comes from the President OF the
United States
President Thler attended meeting Of
Local Association No. 80, at Engineers
Hall, No 23 Hudson Street New York.
last Tuesday. He stated that he had
| heard from all local associations. but
few at such distant points as Portland,
Ore. and that each local had offered all
its members after unanimously voting to
do so.
He did not wait to hear from the far
distant locals. but came to Washington
at once and notified President Mckinley
that the entire association stood ready TO
man the engine rooms of warships which
might lack full compliments Of men. or Of
merchantmen which might be pressed
into the service.

CLAIMS TO BE MRS. SUTRO.
Mrs. CIaricc Kluge Wants a Share
of a Great Estate

San Francisco. Cal, March lit has
been known for some weeks to mem
bers Of former Mayor Adolph Sutro. a
millionaire, who was recently declar-
ed incompetent, and to a few profes-
sional men connected with the conduct
of the estate. that a woman calling her
self Mrs Clarice Kluge has been de-
claring that she is Sutro's contract wife
and declaring she has the strongest ev-
idence to back up her claim.
She visited one of the former mayor S
attorneys recently and told him the
story Of her alleged relations with SUIT
ro, which she said had existed for some
years. She announced her intention of
standing up for her interest if any
move We're made by the family to keep
her out of what was due her. but said
she did not want to harass Mr. Sutro
or to make trouble for the heirs if it
could be avoided
Mrs. Kluge is a handsome woman Of
thirty, who lives in elegant style She
has two children. When interviewed
she stated that she was S,:tros niece,
but would net admit that eh. also call
ed herself his contract wife.

The y Proposition 10 Appropriate S5o,-
600 Nav BE Defeated.

The J. BrODnSition 10 appropriate S5u,-
600 May BE Defeated.
New York. March u.-Both branches OF
the municipal assembly propose to de-
feat the appropriation of $4,000 for the
celebration Of Charter Day in order TO
get even with Mayor Van Wyck because
the new administration has kept appro-
prations for all of the boroughs down 10
the smallest possible amount
This information was received yesterday
from one of the leading men in the mU-
nicipal assembly. He said the proposed
appropriation would be defeated in both
the council and the board of aldermen.
II IL expected that the coming celebra-
tiOn Of consolidation viii cost at least
$500. geo. OF this sum S250Go0 VIII be sub
scribed by the citizens Of the several bor-
OughS who are interested in the project.
Mayor Van Wyck several weeks ago eX-
pressed himself as favorinC an apprOpria-
tion Of $50 900 by this city. and bills to that
end were introduced in both branches Of
the local legislature. These were referred
TO the committees on finance. which show
no inclination 10 report them favorably.
There is much opposition to this apprO-
preparation among the members Of both
houses from Brooklyn. Queens and Rich
mond. 1t is probable that Mayor Van
Wyck's recommendation viii be defeated.
although the Democrats have an over
whelming majority in both branches Of
the municipal assembly. Democrats in
the other boroughs have been unable TO
get appropriations for various local pur-
poses which they deemed necessary, and
as a four-fifths vote is required in order
to put this resolution through either
house. ii is expected that il viii be de-
feated If il ever comes to a vote.

PRESIDENT PRATT RETIRES.
He Was at the Head OF a Great
Ordnance Plant.

Hartford, Conn. March u.-Francis A
Pratt, of this city, retired today from the
presidency of the Pratt and Whitney
Company. which has a capital of $1,000
0O0. and is one of the largest machine
and ordnance manufacturing concerns
in the world.
Mr.. Pratt. with Amos Whitney. who is
vice president, founded the company in
1859. Five years go syndicate, includ-
ing several New York capitalists. bought
out the concern and reorganized. A con-
tract was made with Mr.. Pratt for five
years. The company is pledged to pay
per cent on preferred stock cumulative
dividend. Dividends have not yet been
paid to that amount, the last dividend
in 1897 having been l Ia per cent on the
preferred. This has not been satisfac-
tory to the controlling interest and is tbs
reason for the change. as it is given out
by the syndicate.

and she is undergoing considerable
change No strangers are allowed on

not special business. 1t looks from the
outside as though she is being converted
into a cruiser. The workmen are ham

hurry call and there is unusual activity
in the yard.
The Numuri is having her hun re-en-

been launched only nine years ago. and
why all this repairing is necessary

Democratic DissersiOn

Il COMPLAINT is made by certain Demo-

fessor Handy to Congress 1t is even said
chat Mr.. Ncary has neglected to distribute
congressional speeches that Mr.. Hanby
forwarded him for the purpose OF distribu'
ton among the members Of the party and
that John Biggs managed to prevent
Handy from speaking at the State Con-
vention. AS a consequence bad feeling
prevails, and the friends Of Handy and
free silver coinage are disposed to letalate
on Senator Gray and the god bugs rs they
are called. The Democrats have certainly
troubles of their own. Had the late Thos.
L. Bayard lived he could not have favored
the reelection Of Mr.. Handy to Congress
but would have advised the adoption o. Il
resolution in favor Of "honcst money" and
In cas-, OF It's rejection, would not have fo|.

Vote The Regular Ticket.

I he mis- axe made in using n in the
name OF Samuel NJ. Knox for Senator in
First senatorial District has led the Union
Committee to recommend all members
of each branch of the Republican party
to VOC tho regular ticket at the coming
election. BY SO doing great deal of
trouble may be avoided as it is clearly
shown by tho declaration in tbs Every
Evening that the leaders of the Democrat
ic patty are determined to use every pre-
tex to enable them to secure majority
of the members Of the Legislature. BY
Union Republicans stamping the ballot
under tho eagle the plan may be thwarted
as far as Mr.. Knox is concerned. The
action Of the committee shows that there
il no desire to defent Mr. Knox or any
Other Republican named on the ticket.
