IS AFTER THE COUNCIL
The Mazet Committee Will Urge
Abolition.
GIVES THEM A HEARING
Members OF the Municipal Council Sub
poenaed by Moss-Dredgers Deny
Charging Exorbitant
Prices.

New York, Aug, 2--The most inter-
connection with the Mazet legislative
investigation committee was the fact
that every member of the municipal
council had been subpoenaed for to-
morrow for the purpose of determining
why the present city legislative body
should not be abolished Mr.. Moss,
counsel for the Mazet committee, at
tended the meeting in the municipal
assembly to-day and served the sub
.poenas. With each subpoena was
letter from Counsel Moss saying:
you will be subpoenaed to appear
before this committee on Thursday at
II a. m. and viii be treated fairly and
honestly The assembly will be urged
to convene and legslate against the
municipal assembly, and I desire that
your side of the controversy shall be
correctly presented
The taking of testimony by the Mazet
committee to-day began with the ex-
animation of William Beard of the w.
H. Beard Dredging company: w. H.
Saner. ir. of the International Dredg-
ing company, and Charles Loomis of
the Atlantic Dredging company. who
testified as to the prices received for
dredging. The examination of these
witnesses was technical 1t was shown
that the rate for dredging varied from
1212 to 12A cents per cubic yard. The
witnesses denied there was any agree
ment among them to charge the city
eXorbitant prices.
r. c. Packard of the r. c. Packard
Dredging company said there had been
probably for So years an understand
ing among the dredging companies 10
charge good prices for their work, but
that the agreement had been a fail
ure.
Charles F. Murphy. the treasurer of
the dock board, testified that his de-
partment had given considerable work
to the Morris & Cummings Dredging
company at the market rate without
public bidding Mr. Murphy said he
generally allotted dock department
work to the Tammany men when he
could. The law, as he understood it,
gave him the right to do this; if his
construction was wrong, then he had
violated the law.
Frederick Hall testified that he had
paid $500 to Jules Schroeder a saloon
keeper in order to get on the police
force. Witness said Schroeder was A
friend of Commissioner Lantry and Mr..
Croker. Witness had gone before the
civil service board and failed in the
mental examination. Schroeder said he
would fix it all right, but failed to do
so and that ne refused to return the
money.
The question of influence and meth
DDS connected with the changing of
the motive power on different street
railways was taken up, James B. Keat-
ing, commissioner of highways, John
T. Beaver treasurer of the Third ave-
nue. road, and President Elias of the
road, being on the witness stand. Moth
ing of importance. however, was elic-
tied from these witnesses. The COM
mittee adjourned until tomorrow.

that when all the plants now growing
arrive at maturity they will yield 10,-

DR.. Shepard expresses the opinion
that the fact that the tea plants lived
through last winter when the most in

was experienced, is a guarantee that

factory. The labor problem, he says.
has been solved by the establishment of
a school for the education of negro chill
dren in tea picking.
The quality of tea also has proved
satisfactory. Of the black tea he says:
ut Is as distinctly characteristic of
the flavor and like some of the choicer
oriental teas"
The green tea, he says, has attracted
keen interest in the trade among con-
sumers, and he adds oriental teas can
hardly furnish the like in the country.

SMITH FOR GOVERNOR.
Maryland Democrats Hold a Harmonious
Convention

Baltimore. Md, Aug 2-The demo-
cratic state convention held here to-
day nominated a state ticket with John
Walter Smith for governor at the head.
The meeting was harmonious and all
the nominations We're made by accla-
nation.
That portion of the platform which
refers to national issues is as follows:
I'VE insist that in time of war, as
well as of peace, the freedom of the
press shall be preserved, and that the
right of the people to criticise freely
the policy and conduct of the admin
istration shall be demanded at all
hazards.
No deadlier blow can be dealt to
American liberty than the suppression
by an abuse of the executive power Of
the free utterance by American free
men of their sentiments upon matters
of public concern affecting the welfare
of the people, and we denounce as
dangerous and indefensible all efforts
to interfere with that sacred right.
I'VE declare our unalterable oppCNsi-
tion to the creation and maintenance
Of a large standing army in time of
peace, and we insist upon the suprem-
acy of the civil over the military au
thority. and we demand the strictPst
economy in the collection and disburse-
ment of the public revenues.
W e DelleNe IN the time nOnoTeu doc
trine so earnestly impressed upon us
by the father of the republic of peace,
commerce and honest friendship with
all nations. entangling alliances with
none.
we view with alarm the multiplica-
ton over the land of such gigantic,
industrial and commercial trusts, the
outgrOWth of republican legislation, as
sitting competition, threatening pOnu-
lar government. increasing the cost of
living and curtailing the individual
rights of the people, and We favor Wig
orous measures by the states and by
congress to repress this great and
growing evil"
The platform declares that the re-
publican party is responsible for the
numerous violations of the law on The
part of the negroes because the latter
believe they will be afforded protection
and immunity from punishment by
reason of their votes, which, the plat
form asserts. are almost solidly for the
republican ticket.

IT'S A POLITICAL REVOLT
Anti-Goebel Democrats Meet at
Lexington.
A REMARKABLE GATHERING
The Main Fight VIII Be Against the
Louisville Nominee for Governor
Bryan and the Chicago Plat
form Indorsed.

Lexington, KY, Aug. "A political
revolt in Kentucky was inaugurated
here to-day. The anti-Goebel confer
ence here for the purpose of calling a
state convention and nominating an
other democratic state ticket, or part
of one, was in some respects. perhaps.
the most remarkable political gather
ing ever held in Kentucky. The CON
ference was composed of leading farm
ers and professional men, only a few
politicians being in the assembly.
1t was manifest from the beginning
that the feeling was not against The
whole ticket, but against its head, and
although other nominations may be
made against those of the Louisville
convention, the main opposition will
be mainly directed towards the defeat
of William Goebel
The gathering was larger than eX-
pected. There were 720 men by actual
count in the auditorium. Thirty coun-
ties were represented. a committee on
resolutions. composed of one from each
district and two for the state at large,
was appointed. When this committee
retired to draft resolutions, John Young
IoiUNH was tSCbTlcu 10 tle DIbtlOTIh
and made a vigorous. impassioued
speech in denunciation of the course of
the Louisville convention.
The resolution committees report
recommended the Endorsement of Bryan
and the Chicago platform. denounced
the methods of the Louisville cOnven-
ton to secure the nominate of Will
lam Goebel. declared that the report Of
the committee on credentials of the
Louisville convention was secured by
shameful and fraudulent tactics; A.
nOunced "McKinleyism" and other ma
tional affairs and provided that a con
vention be held in Lexington on
Wednesday, Aug. 16 to declare princi-
pies and nominate candidates for the
November election. Each county or
Legislative district was urged to ap-
point delegates to the convention, each
county being entitled to one vote for
every 200 votes or fraction over l0O
polls cast for w. j, Bryan of 1896.

THE MAST BROKE.
Columbia's Entire Suit of Sails Went
Overboard-Race Abandoned.

Newport, r. l., Aug. Am accident
to the Columbia marred what promised
to be a thorough test to the relative
speed of that boat and the Defender in
a fine top sail breeze, and late this af-
ternoon the new boat was towed to her
builders works at Bristol, a total wreck
above deck. Her new steel main-mast
was bent double just about half way
between the deck and the masthead
and all that remained of her magnifi-
cent spread of canvas and especially
made rigging was piled up in a heap
about the stump of the mast, a tangled
mass of wire shrouds, metal turn buck
les, blocks and ropes. Practically all
that remained was the steel boom and
gaff. and the bowsprit, and even the
gaff was damaged a trifie at the jaws.
The dismasting of the Columbia oc-
CURED less than an hour after the new
and old cup defenders started on the
beat out to a flag boat off the north
end of Block island. when the two con-
testants had covered about half of the
distance. The Columbia was leading
at the time, and was steadily drawing
away from her rival. The two boats
were bowling 1t along at a port tack,
and in the Judith channel, about three
miles off the point, the new boat having
the weather position and fairly tearing
through the water when there was a
slant the top mast went crashing down
to leeward, carrying with it the fine
new club top-sail and small jib top-sall.
The steel main mast at once buckled in
the middle and down came the upper
end of the spar. and the huge MAIN
sail dropped into the water on the star
board side. Fortunately all hands es-
capped injury. The discipline was ex-
cellent, not a man leaving his post un-
til Captain Barr gave orders to clear
away the wreckage and get the canvas
aboard and then the crew went to
work with a will, clearing up the tan
gle. the Columbia drifting with the
waves, a dismantled and sad-looking
craft. The associated press tug took
the Columbia in tow, and proceeded
with her to Bristol.
The expenses of repairing the Column
bia will be heavy, and although most
of the Wire shrouds and stays can be
used again, they will necessarily have
to undergo a severe test as to their
strength, for the wrenching they re-
ceived to-day may cause them to be
worthless.

that he could give. We went through
the struggle and came out victorious.
We transported across the sea more
than 100000 men without accident. We
fought battles in the Philippines, in
Cuba and in Porto Rico, and we never
lost battle, a color, prisoner, or

| am glad to be among you again, a
private citizen, and that I can travel
these streets and meet you in social and
business intercourse, and l propose to
stay here the balance of my life. Good
night"
The closing scene was a reception in
the city hall corridors. Mrs. Alger and
scores of other ladies, with several of
the generals relatives, viewed the
scene from a canopied decorated plat
form built into the main stairway, and
thousands pushed past and grasped
General Alger'S hand.

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
Utah Mine Owners Cannot Afford to Pay
Colorado Prices.

Salt Lake Utah, Aug. 1.-The sub
committee of the industrial committee
reached here last night and held two
sessions to-day
At the morning session eX-COngress-
man c. f. Allen of the Centennial
Eureka mine was examined He said
his mine used machinery. and he
thought everybody connected with the
mine was benefited by it. He did not
think Utah mine owners could afford
to pay Colorado prices fer mining. be-
cause the ore here was of a lower grade.
He thought the Utah smelters had been
benefited to some extent by the shut
down of the Colorado smelters.
In the afternoon r. G. Chambers,
superintendent of the Ontario mine,
was before the committee. He ex-
pressed himself as believing that the
mining interests of the state were in
thriving condition. He is in favor of
an eight hour law and was fearful of
the results Of trusts. He thought the
smelling trust was a stock jobbing
scheme and that the capital represent
ed by the trust was more than the
plants were worth.

T. Brewster of this city returned yes
terday from Smith creek. in the Big

principle that silence is golden. There
are other streams, however, that are
open or partially so to prospectors. The
gold brought in by Mayor McCarty and
Brewster consists of quartz, nuggets
and dust worth thousands of dollars,
the exact amount of which was with

TROOPS TRANSFERRED.
The Soldiers at Fort Monroe Will BE Sent
to Delaware.


to Delaware.
Washington, Aug. 2.--Just before the
close of the war department to-day a
final decision was reached to send the
troops from Fort Monroe to Battery
Point, Delaware. Surgeon General wy
man objected to locating the troops so
far south. but General Merritt held that
it would be fatal in case any of the
men were infected to take them north
General Merritt is expected to make
an arrangement for the execution of
the order, even to securing the boats
necessary to carry the men across
Chesapeake Bay to the railroad which
will carry them to Battery Point on
the Delaware river. Secretary Root to-
day found that the care of the old SOL
diers at the Hampton home was entire

board of soldiers homes. The depart
ment is as yet ignorant of the where

IT WORRIES THEM.
Police Fear That Mrs. Botkin May Secure
a New Trial

San Francisco, Aug. Local officials
are considerably worried regarding he
decision of the supreme court granting
Albert Hoff, the murderer of Mrs. p
A. Clute, new trial on the ground that
the judges charge to the jury was i'm
proper 1t appears that the presiding
judge in the case of Theo. Durrant, who
was hanged for the murder of Blanche
Lamont, used the aoriginal charge to
the jury in that case and his example
was followed by the presiding judges in
the Hoff and Botkin cases, the charges
being practically the same in all three
cases. The police are worried now be-
cause they think that Mrs. Botkin may
secure a new trial for the murder of
Mrs. J. p. Dunning of Dover, Del, by
means of a box of poisoned candy sent
through the mails.
