OPINIONS VARY.
Republican City Committee Divided on
increasing Ward Delegations.

Just what action will be taken reIa-
tive to increasing the size of the repub-
lican committee, remains for the next
meeting of the committee to determine.
The members are about evenly divided
on the subject. In some wards, ward 5,
Tor instance, the members are unan-
-lmous in the desire to have the number
increased from three to five, while in
ward there is the same feeling Of
unanimity that the committee, as it
stands at present, is sufficient for the
pest interests of the party in Worces-
ter.
Then there are others, to quote a
member Of the committee, who have
not settled the matter definitely in their
own minds. Certain members of the
committee claim a majority favor keep
ing the committee at its present num-
Der, and still others claim the matter
will be settled in accordance with the
vote of the last municipal convention
which was to increase. The law passed
this year placing the matter at the dis
erection of the city committee settles
the matter In the minds of many, and
their opinion is corroborated by lead
ing lawyers that the law takes prece-
dence over action of the convention, al
though courtesy should play some part
In the matter
opinion from the attorney general
doubtless be asked at all events
before the matter is submitted to the
committee. The next regular meeting of
the city committee comes on the second
Monday in November, and, as several
matters will have to be settled before
election, a special meeting will be
called before November I. An at
tempt will be made to get at
the sentiment Of the committee
at that time. The resignation of Charles
e. Nystrom, which was sent in August
10, will probably be acted on at that
time

RILEY GOT FIRED.

But the Losing of His Job Was Turn
ing Point in His Career.
James Whitcomb Riley's success began
with what he considered terrible misfor-
tune. He had been hired to write poems
for the Indianapolis Journal, and was
devoting himself exclusively to that
work. Before he had been at it very
long, however there was a change in the
editorial department of the paper Lille"
Halford afterward private secretary to
President Harrison, became managing
editor, and at once decided that expenses
would have TO be reduced After looking
around for good place to begin re-
trenohing, he decided that Riley must go.
I'VE like you, Jim, and we like your
poetry" he said but it isn't worth
what we are paying you for it. OF course.
If you want to contribute poems for moth
ing we'll be willing to PRINT them"
Having the poems printed would be very
gratifying, but 1t would be necessary for
even a poet to eat and wear things, SO
Mr.. Riley decided that he would not en-
ter into any sort of an agreement at that
time to write for nothing.
He tells his friends that the day on
which he was discharged from the staff
of the indianapolis Journal was one OF

1t happened, however, that a state poll

that Riley's poem first published only a

body present and that it had touched a

ALASKAN BOUNDARY
Nothing Heard From Choate for
Several Days.

WASHINGTON. July 26 1S99.-Mr
Tower, British charge, had an Interview
this morning with Secretary Hay, presum-
ably with reference to the Alaskan bound
ary modus Nothing has been heard from
Mr.. Choate on this subject for several
days Mr.. Tower called to say good bye
to the officials of the Department, as he
is leaving for Newport, which will be the
seat of the British Embassy during the
summer.
1t is pointed out here that there appears
to be misunderst landing in some quar-
ters as to the history of the pending
proposition relative to a free port on the
Lynn canal under United States sover-
eighty. The Canadian government new
er accepted that proposition as the basis
for even temporary arrangement
They did demand the cession outright
of such a port, while the United States
offered to lease Canada port for a NOM
inal consideration so as to retain sover-
eighty, an arrangement that would have
been temporary in character and well
adapted to serve as a modus. Both prop
ositions were considered by the Joint
High Commission last winter and both
were rejected. The latter is now again
brought forward, but with what success
cannot yet be foretold.

HARMONY NOT IN SIGHT
Ninth Ward Republicans
Still Split By Fac
tions.

The grand outing" of the Bergen Re-
publican Club was thoroughly discussed
at the bi-weekly meeting of that club
held last evening The Entertainment
Committee did not report on the result
of the outing, this painful procedure being
postponed until the next meeting.
President Charles Mason in his remarks
laid the blame of the disastrous ending
of the outing on the proprietor of the
hotel at Bergen Point All of the mem
bers spoke sarcastically of the event and
some suggested bringing suit against the
proprietor for freezing them out without
grub.
The question of precinct enrollments and
primaries, as suggested by the anti-ring
element, did not come up for discussion
Those behind the movement have deferred
action on this project until a more favor
able opportunity presents itself. The fall
ure to have the matter acted favorabiy
upon at the Ward Association meeting OF
last week has not put damper on the
efforts of the anti-ringsters- They are
out for all there is in the game and they
mean to stretch every point to win.
These same people realize that the ma
chine people now hold the upper hand ana
will throw cold water on all the plans
put forward which will prove detrimental
to their interests. Therefore the anti
machine forces will attempt to smash the
machine combinations by electing sufi-
cient committeeman to give them a ma
jority over the machine people. With
the primaries now being held in one place
for the whole ward the anti-ringsters
~. r,J,fr
The followers of the bosses run these
primaries and enrollments 10 suit them
selves. consequently their committeeman
are always elected.
In the recommendations made by the
Organization Committee, while that body
was toilng through its arduous task about
six weeks ago, there is a clause calling
for precinct primaries and enrollments.
These recommendations will be voted on
at the first fall meeting of the County
Committee to be held on September ].
The anti-ring element in the Ninth ward
does not believe that the County Com
mittee will act favorably on this clause,
and therefore wishes the Ward Associa-
tion to make the necessary changes. This
the ward leaders refused to do, and thus
the matter stands.
Harmony in that ward is still far out
of sight.
President Charles Mason in the course
of his remarks said that the club felt
honored in the selection of Alexander Nc
Lean. one of the clubs staunchest MEM
bers. for Sheriff. He added that the Sc
lection could not have been better and
that it is the opinion of the club that
Governor Voorhees, made a wise appoint-
ment. In referring to the harmony ques-
tion at the close of the meeting. Mr..
Mason said that the difficulty now exist
ing would never be settled until the ma
chine people made big concessions to the
other faction. This the ring people have
refused to do. and thus the fight goes
merrily on, much to the satisfaction of
the Democrats in the Ninth ward

ExTRADITE MRS. PERoT.
Baltimore Detective Has Commission
From Mckinley.

BALTIMORE, Md, July 26 1899--An-
other chapter In the abduction case of
eleven-year-old Gladys Perot from her
paternal grandfather, VIM, III. Perot. of
this city. by her mother, the divorced
wife of William Y. Perot, began late last
night when the childs guardian, accom-
panied by city Detective Albert Gault

Should the woman relinquish possession

and brought to Baltimore to answer the
charge

TAX RATE FIXED.
Finance Board Will Make
It's Decision Known
Today.
LOCAL RATE TO BE 1850
County Expenses Have EN-
barrassed the City Com
missioners' Good Work.

The Finance Commissioners at their
meeting this afternoon received the coun-
ty tax rate and were able to complete
their labor of fixing the local tax rate.
The ratio this year will be 2S.6o, the same
as last 1t would have been lower. and
the Commissioners labored to make It so,
but the county government, in its peculiar
economic method, managed to jump up
their rate to 5.sS- Last year their rate
was 5.4s, making a difference Of fifty
points to account for.
The State school tax this year viii be-
IN, while last year 1t was 2.7s, a gain Of
seven points. In arriving at the rate. the
Finance Commissioners had, thanks to
the peculiar economies OF the Freehold-
ers, to pare very closely the different al
lowances.
To make both ends meet and keep the
rate at least as low as last year has been
very difficult problem. In all the city
departments thus far there has necessari-
ly been an increase of estimates In be-
ing able to provide for these adequately
and not tread on the tender toes OF that
long suffering creature, the taxpayer, the
Finance Commissioners have earned no
little praise for the efficient discharge Of
theiss duties.
