DEFEAT FOR HILL.
Croker Men Claim to Have Beaten Him
in Committee.

Saratoga, N. Y, August 16.-The her
aided lively meeting of the state Demo
cratic committee is over and the an
nounced heated argument between David
b. Hill and Richard Croker did not ma
terialize. Senator Grady and Mr. Hill
clashed some on the motion to elect a
temporary chairman for the approaching
state convention. On this proposition Mr.
Hill was defeated even though the vote
demonstrated that he still has control Of
the state committee. Mr.. Hill did not
appear very much disappointed at the re-
suit.
The Croker element were jubilant to-
night, however, claiming that they have
beaten Mr.. Hill in the committee and
that they viii carry the matter further If
he wishes
The state committee selected Saratoga,
September II as the time and place for
the holding OF the state convention. So
far as the gubernatorial situation is con-
cerned is evident that Mr.. CoIer cannot
be nominated unless Kings county
changes it's present attitude. In the man
ner Of the temporary chairman they stood
solidly for Mr.. brokers' side of the con-
troversy. Erie county, however, with the
exception Of j. j. Kennedy voted wi tn
Hill.

Halifax, N. s., August 16-The Allan
steamer Carthagenian collided with the
steamer Grecian of the same line tonight
in the outer harbor. The Carthaginian
was bound inward from Liverpool and
the Grecian was outward bound for
Philadelphia. The latter cleared several
days ago for that port, but was delayed
sailing. her stay in Halifax is stin
further prolonged by tonight's accident
as the captain concluded to wait till
morning for a divers investigation.
The Grecian is anchored in the stream.
Her injuries. it is feared, ars serious, al
though both ships were moving slowly
when they struck. The Carthag enian
proceeded to her dock after the collision
uninjured. The accident was due to
thick weather.

and it was one Of the grandest sights
have ever witnessed, The city was deco
rated like veritable fairy land with
bunting and colored electric lights. The
great fleet of war ships in the harbor,
contributed by the general government,
furnished noble and inspiring sight,
both day and night. The parade was one
to stir the heart of any American; but
the thing which appealed to me most was
when that great body of Massachusetts
citizens born in Maine, marched in solid
phalanx by the reviewing stand, each
carrying banner and every face beam
ing with love for the state of his nativi-

THE CENSUS DELAYED.
Reports OF the States aud Towns Pop
uIations WIN Be Late.

Washington, August 16 There Is a
marked delay in forwarding the portfolios
for the second census district of Maine
on to Washington, and there will be a
corresponding delay in announcing the
population of the state. On Wednesday
only IA out of total OF 215 portfolios
for the second district had been received
here.
Several kilograms urging immediate
transmittal have been sent by the direc-
tor of the census. The first district port
folios are by no means complete, but the
report from that district is better, as on
Wednesday 260 out of 26s Of the portfolios
had reached here.

When Lord Beauchamp, the British
governor Of New South Wales. first oc-
eupied the government house at Sydney.
he ordained that at official receptions
only guests of a certain rank should be
permitted to approach the presence
through designated doors To these blue
tickets were awarded; to others of in
ferior mold, white.
At one function, through some mis-.
management. an important public man
received a blue card, while white one
was sent to his wife. When the mir
reached the audience chamber, the lady
declined to be separated from her hus-
band or to abandon the aristocratic blue
ranks. An aid-de-camp endeavored TO
reason with her and explain the commo-
ton that would ensue if blue and white
were suffered to mingle together.
But the fair one was equal to the occa.
