RURAL PRIMARY REFORM.
SENATOR ELoN r. BROWN AIMS TO PURIFY
COUNTRY ELECTIONS.

SENATOR EION r. BROWN AIMS TO PURIFY
COUNTRY ELECTIONS
Alhanv. Jan. IS (speclaD-senator Elon r. Brown.
~ Watertown a year ago vany endeavored to
persuade his Republican colleagues In the Senate
10 make the Primary Reform law apply TO rural
districts and th!rd-elass cities. Two objections
were made however to his proposal. One was
that political corruption not great In rural
communities and in the smaller cities as In the hrst
and second class cities: and. secondly. II was SAID
that the third-class cities and country towns ala
not care to ADOPT the costly machinery required TO
carry out the law.
Senator Brown believes that reform OF the pri-
maries is just necessary in the smaller cities
and towns as In the large cities, but he believes a
law can be drawn which will be an effective meas
ure and yet which will not greatly increase the
present cost OF holding primaries. He INTRODUCED
such bill to-day The present law aHects the CIT
ies Of New-York Buffalo. Troy. Albany. Syracuse
Rochester and Utica. Senator Browns bill touches
all the State outside OF these cities.
In order TO diminish the expense OF the primary
system he does not adopt the Australian ballot
system. The great source OF corruption al FuraI
primaries is the lack Of personal registration OF
voters The new primary act will force voters to
register their names 10 secure the right 10 paruc-
pate in primaries. Thus there will be ciassih-
cation OF Democrats and Republicans senator
Brown stated to-day that one OF the CHIEF dlin-
culties Of keeping the rural primaries pure when
there was warm contest was the tact that GER
tain voters seemed to think themselves free TO act
either as Democrats or as Republicans and swear
in their votes wherever It was the most profitable
for them to do so. -, =, ,..,.
senator Browns Dill provides that in election
districts where personal registration IS not required
an enrolment shall be had on the day OF general
election by boards OF primary election inspectors
organized from officers especially appointed ana
elected The enrolment boards are to nave an Of
fee not less than one hundred feet from the polls
Here voters to come and register tner names
IF they do not enroll their names they cannot vote
AT the primaries Senator Browns I'LL gives several
other opportunities to register for primaries

BoATMEN DO A BIG BUSINESS
The Whitehall boatmen did a '1and-office'
business on Tuesday evening and yesterday in
taking out belated soldiers to the transport.
The men had received q few hours furlough,
and then missed the transport she left the
Brooklyn pier. AS a result they were willing to
pay almost any price in order to get aboard the
vessel These men, as we'll as the friends OF
soldiers who were already on board served to
boom the market for Battery boats. and
suit the boatmen took advantage of the bull
market, and prices went up in a way to surprise
those who know the regular rates, and instead
of the customary 81 the boatmen asked, How
much have you got?" and If the unsuspectng
person admitted that he was the possessor of
hve-dolar BILL that amount was at once taken
as a fee.
Probably Lieutenant ]. H. Hughes of the
4th Infantry on one Of these predatory craft
was the most heartily greeted arrival on
board the Grant. Lieutenant Hughes was
in the battle at San Juan. Cuba. II was
wounded In both legs and in the right foot
He was sent to a hospital for treatment. and
has not yet recovered from the effects Of his
wounds. The surgeons advised him not to join
his regiment and take the long trip to the Philip
pines, but he decided he wanted to be with his
comrades. and yesterday he hired boat and
went out to the transport.
When the soldiers Of the regiment saw him
military regulations to discipline and sent up
cheer after cheer for him he reported to his
captain
CHIEF CAUSE OF THE DELAY.
While the entangling of a cable in the propeller
Of the Grant caused delay, II was said at the
Brooklyn pier yesterday that the chief delay was
caused by the discovery that certain acquisitions
for supplies had not been properly filed and that
more employees were needed. The discovery was
made by the officers in charge that there were
not enough walters aboard Among the additional
supplies were some for engineering outhttngs ana
extra plumbers equipment. ,,
Captain Mason. the officer in charge OF ioading
the Government transports at Pier NO -, IN
Brooklyn. said that there had been rather TOO much
haste in loading the Grant.
II hope" the way he put II, that more time
will be allowed for loading the transport Sherman
than allowed for getting the Grant ready 10
sail"
The Sherman is a sister ship to the Grant, and
was formerly the Mobile. The vessel was taken
out Of drydock at Erie Basin several days ago. ana
will begin loading at Pier No % in about week.
II said yesterday. 40, Mill,
The Sherman will probably take to the Philip
pine Islands the same number OF troops as Ine
Grant carries. 1t will carry part OF the lIth IN
fantry.
