BUSY BRADFORD WEBSTER
Many Liquor Prosecutions Are
 on the Boards.


 Yesterday Proprietors Will
 Have 5. Hearing Thursday The
 Sheehy Case Comes Up Tomorrow
 Henry Dugay, One of the Moynahan
 Witnesses, Has Become Insane and
 Was Taken in Charge By the Select
 men To-day.
 s Bradford Webster is making things hum these times, and unless all signs of the times fail he intends to keep it up. Yesterday Sheriff Rigney raided Martin Dalton's place at Hillside and later the sheriff and James k. Lunny made a call at Ella Cooks on the Wa tervilfe road and pulled Ella and her housekeeper. It is said that the off, cers found no liquor to speak of at either place, but all the same their cases are down for a hearing next Thursday morning. They are charged with keeping liquor with intent to sell.
 David Sheehy, who is charged with keeping open last Sunday, will be given chance to be heard tomorrow. This is a peculiar case. The officers broke in his door Sunday evening. and when they got inside there wasn't a soul in the place, and it is said that there were no signs of any one having been in there during the day, although it is alleged that Officer Allen thought the saloon was crowded at the time the door was forced. ! While the so called raid was on Sheehy'S bartender sauntered down the street munching peanuts and when he saw the door fI1o 1f,,ey Tn, 1n6 not know what to makeSof the situa- ton and at once notified the proprietor, who informed the owner of the build ing. John T. Phelan, that he will have to look to the city to make good the damage done by breaking of the door. Notwithstanding all this Prosecutor Webster is satisfied that there were people in the place when the officers tried the door, but that they succeeded in making their escape through rear exit The raid attracted an unusually large crowd of spectators, the street being thronged with people for quite a considerable distance from the build ing. all anxious to know what was ID. When they heard that Sheehy's door had been smashed ill by the officers and that they failed to see anyone there when they got in, the excitement knew no bounds and more than one man laughed at the apparent discom- fiture of the limbs of the law
 The saddest case of all is that of Henry Dugay, one of the witnesses in the Moynahan case. who has become mentally unbalanced and was taken in charge by the seleetmen to-day. He imagines that he hears shot and shell buzzing around him and appears to be busy lodging the missiles It is al- legged that some one threatened to shoot him over the liquor prosecutions and that he took sthe matter to heart and broke down under it. But it is believed that after he gets away from the busy world and has rest he will be all right again in a. short time.

INVESTIGATING SHHFER.
Executive Council of Fedora
 tion of Labor in Session.

The Committee Will Await the Out
 come of Investigation Now Being
 Made The Support of the Fedora
 ton of Labor in the Steel Strike De-
 pends on This Report.
 Buffalo,. N. Y., Sept 3.-A quorum of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor held conference in room at the Vendome hotel last night, and after a few words from President Gompers adjourned-to await the report of a committee appointed to investigate the charges which have been made against President Shaffer of the Amalgamated Steel Workers of America by former vice president of the association. Upon the report of the committee, which probably will be made by Friday, depends the support Of the parent body, the American Fed eration of Labor, in the steel strike.
 The object of the conference last night was the appointment of a na- tional committee which will inyesti- gate the charges made in the NIilwal- kee convention last week that Shatfer had ordered a useless strike.

YACHTSMEN ARE TROUBLED.
They Can't Understand Why
 Constitution is Slow:

Experts are Examining Every Sail and
 Spar This Afternoon-A Diver Was
 Also Secured, Who Went Down and
 Examined the Plating and the Lead
 Fin.
 Newport, R. l., Sept 3.-It was an= ticipated last night that the all but finished race yesterday between me Columbia and Constitution would be resailed today, but this morning w.. Butler Duncan came ashore from the Constitution and stated that owing to changes in the new boats mainsail tue next contest between the yachts would be tomorrow.
 This will probably necessitate q third race either on Thursday or Fri day, and if the challenge committee deem it necessary the yachts will meet again on Saturday and perhaps several days next week. At 10 o'clock this morning this committee had not acted in the matter of other races, but it was anticipated that the members would get together later in the day and oe- eide the matter. The change in tile mainsail of the Constitution is the sub- stitution of the old sail which she ..ar- ried when she beat the Columbia eight times for the new one which was bent after the Larchmont races, and under which she has been beaten in two fin ished and two unfinished races by the old boat
 The Constitutions head sails will also be slightly re-cut, especially one of the staysails, which needs one or Nn oh Q fi.ai- pated in the boats rig, but with her old mainsail on tomorrow her man ager hopes that she will once more take the lead.
 It is no secret that all the members of the N. Y. Y. c. here, including those on board both the Constitution and Co., lumbia, are very much at sea over the entirely unexplained slowness of the Constitution. Every change that has been made in the boat during the past three weeks instead of being an inn provement has apparently decreased her speed until to-day she seems to be in worse shape than at the very be- ginning of the season, when the CO- lumbia beat her by only minute CT two. On board yesterday, besides Mir Duncan and her designer, Nat s. Herreshoff, was c. Oliver Iselin and one or two other experts, WnO cflIlcal- ly watched the boat for any defects. M:' Iselin thought the flow of the main sail was not just right and suggested one or two other minor changes. It was by his advice that the sail which has been on the boat for only two weeks, was taken off this morning and what Mir Herreshoff and Mir Duncan consider the worst sail of all wasSsub- stituted.
 A diver was also sent down this morning to look over the plating and the lead fin, although 1t was only last Thursday that every part of her under body was carefully examined.
 Everyone is determined that the boat shall be brought back into shape again, better even than before the N. Y. '. c. cruise. at which time she was apparently going faster than at any time before or since.
 Just before noon the challenge com mittee held brief meeting and de cided to have the yachts race every day until Saturday, or until it was definitely determined which was the better boat.

THE COFFEE QUESTION.
Agitating the Entire Island at San
 Juan.

San Juan, P. R., Aug 2S.-The cof- tire island, and town councils all over the island are one by one following the example set by the larger seaports and are declaring a $125 tax on ev- cry 1000 kiles of coffee.
 The beauty contest started here three months ago has closed. Miss Ana Maria Hernandez of Ponce was declared the prettiest girl in Porto Rico, receiving a majority of the 175, ,137 votes cast Miss Hernandez preferred the cash prize, and at once gave it to charity.
 Island hospitals are expecting to receive shortly the $22.OO0 promised them by those in control of the Porto Rican relief fund from the surplus ex- isting from contributions taken for the hurricane sufferers of 1899.
 At COmerfo it has been ascertained that gold is being taken out of the var iOus streams by some of the poorer people The natives make daily ex- cursiOns to these streams and search for pebbles, which are covered with gold At night, they return to town and purchase food None of them will show an outsider the places where these pebbles can be found. and guides employed for this purpose invariably lead the prospectors astray.
 Many laborers have united and sent committees to Acting Governor Hunt and Commissioner of the Interior FL IiOtt asking that work be pushed on prospective road Improvements.

 Pittsburg, Pa, Sept 3.-It was be- HeTed that yesterdays creditable la bor demonstration would give impetus to the steel strikers cause and strengthen them in their great hgnt, but the developments in the strike situation today were all favorable 10 the masters From nearly every point in this district the reports were of a discouraging nature to the strlk- CTS Thirty-two new workmen, all said to be skilled, entered the Star tin plate plant without mOlestatlon; 125 machinists returned to work 1n the Pennsylvania and Continental tuDe plants and F imported men went to work at the steel hoop mill in Mones- sen At Duquesne no further efforts were made to get the men out and the works were in full operation Painters and Lindsay and McCutch- cons mills were again running. with

The report that the strikers would make another demonstration at the gates of the National tube works and prevent the men entering the mills. as was done yesterday, drew a large crowd, but as the men remained away there was no disturbance. Ru- mOrs of peace still continue in circu- Iation. but nothing definite can be traced to a reliable source. Among the latest reports is one to the effect that a conference would possibly be held to-day at which the strike may be set tied.
 Prominent manufacturers and the leaders of the strike, however. declar- ed they knew nothing of the inten1ed meeting
 Advices from Warren. O., say that steps are being taken for a meeting at once, perhaps this afternoon. of the employees of the American Steel Hoop Co in Warren, Gerard and YOungs- town. to discuss the strike situation, and probably to call a meeting with President Shaffer.

OBJECT TO THE NOISE.
Out East People Annoyed By Shouts
 of Street Vendors.


 Some of the out east residents con- plain that the conduct of Italian and Hebrew vendors of farm produce is becoming uncomfortable, and unless The business is stopped the authorities will be asked to interefere in the interest of the public peace. It is alleged that they go out some distance ill that di- rection at day break to meet farmers on their way to the city and that in making their purchases from the men who come in from the rural districts the peddlers make such racket that no one can sleep after they get start ed. The Hebrew vendors are said to be noisy, but not half so much so as the sons of sunny Italy, who seem to be head and shoulders over all com petitors in the matter of making noise. They do not do this with a view to annoying anybody. It is a way they have, and it is said that if people could become accustomed to it they wouldn't mind if.

 of @ Reorganization.

of 0 Reorganization.
 Kansas City, Mo, Sept B.. Promoters of the third party conference, to be held in Kansas City two weeks hence, having stated that William J. Bryan was in sympathy with the movement, he was asked to-day concerning his at titude in the matter. He replied: T know nothing about the third party movement in Missouri, except what l have seen in the papers.
 If the third party is intended to influence Missouri politics, do not see that it is needed, for the democracy has shown no inclination to abandon democratic principles, and, while the party adheres to democratic principles, as set forth in the Kansas City plat form, new parties are not needed to accomplish reform.
 MT Cleveland's administration drove many democrats into a third party movement, buts1~ am not willing to believe that the Cleveland element can again obtain control of the demo- cratic party"

 Pekin, Sept 3.-The United States minister, MT Conger, is taking steps to reclaim the small American conces- sion at Tien Tsin, the title to which has practically lapsed of late years be- cause of the government being un- organized and a majority of the Amer jean residents being scattered among the British and German concessions, The American need for the concession is chiefly for military usses, so as to avoid the experiences of last summer when the United States army had diff ficulty in getting quarters and docking facilities.
