SHAFT TER EMPHATIC.


CHICAGO. Oct. II, 1S9s.-General VIII
liam r. shafter, in an interview here re-
garding the Santiago Campaign, says. as
to the suggestion that the landing should
have been at Aguadores:-
Any commanding General who would
have landed his troops at Aguadores in
preference to Baiquiri. ought TO be court
martialed and shot for incompentency. 1t
was not good beach on which to land.
The ground was densely covered with a
vine or plant much more deadly than the
poisonous ivy
Through this the soldiers would have
had to cut their way. The point was
strongly defended, and there was no wa
ter between Aguadores and Santiago. The
ground was impraetieabie if not impass-
able Had | landed at Aguadores and in
vested Santiago. the Spanish would have
had road over which they could have
retreated from the city if they so de-
sired My army went over the hills and
cut of the Spanish retreat. .

+. SKETCHES OF THE CANDIDATES

The returns of the Democratic primar-
les are not all in yet Up to midnight,
last night, there were twenty-eight pre-
cincts of the outlying districts to be
heard from.
Without those precinct the ticket favor
ed by the party leaders had been elected
by an overwhelming majority. Senator
Daly's vote for Congress will exceed 20
900.
An effort is being made in certain locali-
ties to show that Allan L. McDermott
the Senatorial candidate was cut by the
regular voters. So far as the vote has
been canvassed Mr.. McDermott polled a
vote of 1856. as against 2,133 for Edward
Kenny East Newarks Mayor who en-
tered the race merely to show his
strength. OF the 2,1S3 votes received by
Kenny more than one thousand were
given by voters west of the Hackensack
River. Some people have wondered why
Mr.. McDermott did not poll a big vote in
Harrison, Kearny or East Newark. he
being the favored candidate of the party
leaders. There is nothing strange about
it when the facts are known. West of
the Hackensack is was practically an inn
possibility to get ballot which could be
counted for Mr.. McDermott Kenny and
his friends supplied the election officers
with tickets ard every ticket was marked
for Kenny.
The rules of the County Committee re-
uuire that voters should indicate their
choice for an Office by marking an x
opposite his name. To save voters that
trouble, Kenny and his friends had the
requisite x printed on every ballot OPP
posite Kenny's name. The regular DEM
ocrats of Harrison and the other towns
across the river knew McDermott would
win out and for that reason paid little
or no attention to Kenny. They had a
Freeholder and an Assembly fight on
hands and they engaged all their time and
attention in it. In this city McDermott
polled a vote of S,416 as against $50 for
Kenny. Hoboken gave McDermott 1.es5,
and Kenny 211. Out Harrison way Nc
Dermott polled 300 as against 900 for
Kenny. Kenny had supporters in every
party of the county. but that he made
such a poor showing has opened the eyes
of his followers to the fact that he not
as popular as they imagined. Kenny is
sore over his defeat, but he will work for
the regular nominees just the same So
will the men who supported him, with
the possible exception of "Bill' Kern.

PHILIPPINES FUTURE.
Commander Bradford Tells
the Peace Commission
All About the Islands.
ny Gable to The Associated press.


PARIS, Oct. ii, 1898. 98.--Commander Brad
ford, Y. S. N, who has arrived here from
Washington. was examined this morning
by the members Of the United States
Peace Commission relative to the coldi-
tions prevailing and the main features
Of interest in the Philippine Islands, with
which the Commander is well acquainted.
The fifth joint session of the two Com
missions was convened at tYo O'Clock
today. 1t may be said that the first,
second and third meetings scarcely pene-
trated the surface of amy protocol point
and less stiH the. marrow. Last Tuesday,
however, marked the Spanish presentment
regarding the Cuban debt. which has,
during recess. brought the Americans 10
serious preparation. adjustment Of their
diplomatic forces and to the formulation
Of plan upon which they may ultimate
" stand IN relation TO the Cuban phase
of their mission here.
It is not unlikely that since Tuesday 5
meeting the Americans, who have been
exceedingly busy, have determined upon
an attitude towards the Spanish propo-
sition that the United States assume the
Cuban debt in whole or in part and that
it has been reduced to writing for presen-
tation to the Spaniards at today's ses-
sion, stating the American view broadly
as to what is the Cuban debt, what pro-
portion is fairly ehargeable to the island
as legal and beneficial thereto and the
proportion to be charged to Spain as bene-
ficiafy Of the so-called Cuban debt.
A hasty conclusion. however, should not
be drawn from the fact of this kcareful
Weighing of the Spanish proposition by
the Americans that They accept either ali
ternatiye classification Of the Cuban OBJ
legation; but rather that they are acting
on line and purpose to meet every point
raised as exhaustively as presented. They
have thoroughly traversed the Cuban
debt views and the proposals submitted
in writing by the Spaniards on Tues
day. The Americans, therefore. undoubt-
edly submitted in writing today their re-
turn for the Spanish presentment and
there win be either an oral discussion
today OF a written interchange of views at
the next meeting.

Daly's Career.

William d. DAILY the Congressional can
didate, was born in this city in 1851. His
education was acquired in old No. School
on York street, which has turned out SO
many prominent officials. When only
fourteen years old he made a start in the
world for himself. His first employment
was in Careyss iron foundry. Subsequent
ly he went to work in the Erie Railroad S
foundry.
In 1870 he began the study of law in the
office of Blair & Ransom. In 1874 he was
admitted to the bar. For nearly twenty
years W.D. Daily has figured conspicuously
in political battles Under President
District Attorney.
In 1891 he was elected an Assemblyman
from Hoboken and later was appointed
District Court Judge of that city. In 1882
he was elected State Senator. defeating j..
Herbert Potts. He was renominated and
this time defeated Max Salinger handily.
No man in the New Jersey Senate has
done more to prevent partisan legisla-
tion 1t was largely due to his efforts
that the Republicans In this were knock
ed out in their attempt to perpetuate
themselves in Office by vicious legisla-
tion. Senator Daly's record shows him
always to have been arrayed against
corporations when the interests of the
people were at stake. He is the one man
Foster NJ. Voorhees, and the other Re-
publican Senators feared In the Senate
he proved himself an able representative
His friends predict that he will make him
self heard and his presence felt when he
gets in Congress. He has promised to
do his utmost to get some confederation
from the National Government for this
part of New Jersey if elected.

ENTERTAINS HIS BOYS. "
The McEwan Association Has
a Good Time at Their Stand
ard Bearers Expense.

The meeting of the McEwan Associa-
tion, last night, was more largely attend
ed than usual. There were delegates
present from the Twelfth Ward and from
Gramon. The standard bearer. too, was
present Ii is evident that the McEwan-
|sites are net allowing little thing like
failing to secure the Congressional nomi-
nation for their standard bearer to worry
them. Their position was not, however,
clearly defined at last nights meeting. A
motion to endorse Major Pangborn's nom
ination was not even seconded. 1t was
sprung at the last moment while the as
sociation was about to adjourn, to be en-
tertained by the standard bearer, and
hold a social session at a nearby hotel.
.Well think over the natter '.We'll
talk about that later on Wen wait
till the nominations are all made' were
samples OF. the remarks ELECTED from
various members. Mr. McEwan was ask
ed while later if he intended to take
the stump for the Major. He seemed
amused at the question. He simply said:
Il will make as many speeches for the
Major in the next two weeks as he has
made for me in the past twenty years.
Mr.. McEwan made no speech at the
meeting. At the social session, which fol-
lowed, he merely made a few remarks by
way Of invitation to the members to en-
joy themselves, and thanking them for
their past support.
You are all my boys, he said, land
simply want my boys to get on in the
world"
He made no allusion to the local poiti-
cal situation. Short stories were told by
Chairman Christie, William Camp and
others. Mr.. Camp told a story about a
country couple who saw a locomotive for
the first time Mary" said The country

PARIS, Oct. Il, ISsS.-The Railroad
Workers Union has posted placards or
dering a strike today, urging the strik-
ers TO refrain from violence and inform
ing the public that if danger threatens
the country the strikers Will immediats-
" return 10 their posts.
This strike includes the Algerian Prov-
inces
Bur, in spite of the placardlng, the
threatened general strike did not take
place. The workmen stopped to read the
placards announcing the strike, but thers
was no disorder. Nearly all the iaborers
are at work and the railroad service il
uninterrupted, the railroad men having
apparently ignored the decision Of the
committee representing them.
II is announced here this morning that
a military plot against the Government
has been discovered. The .RappeIy
''Aurore" and Petite RepubIique Fran
caise,'' publish almost identical stories on
the subject It appears that the plot was
discovered By a General holding an i'm
portant position. The plotters were to
have taken action on Saturday, during
the absence of the Minister of War, Cen
era1 Chancine. It further appears that
when the Government was warned Of the
plot the Ministers were not surprised.
having already obtained information re-
garding the conspiracy
The .sMatin'' says, the plot was not in
favor of one Of the 9retenders to the
throne of France, who has been talked
about for some time but was only for the
purpose of changing certain officials Of
the government. without touching the
President.
The Premier. NJ. Brisson, was among
those who were not surprised when noti-
fled Of the plot He promised to take ac-
ton in the mater.
The Government officials here refuse to
furnish any information regarding the
discovery of the plot against the Cow
ernment but it is rumored this afternoon
that the conspiracy involved Prince
Louis Bonaparte who is a Colonel OF
Russian lancers and in whose favor his
elder brother. Prince Victor Bonaparts
recently resigned the leadership OF the
lmperialist party. 1t is added that certain
political personages handed the Premier
important documents, including a cipher
despatch compromising certain military
men
The Minister of War has cancelled his
intended absence from Paris.
