ALL ENDED IN TALK.
HOPELESS EFFORT MADE TO GET

There are still two Republican nominees
are B. w. Edwards, Of West Point and
w. Z. Talley, known as '.Parson'' Talley,
both nominated by the rival factions at
West Point on Wednesday. There was
Tumor that one Of the rival candidates
would be withdrawn, or that both would
be pulled down
A reporter for the Dispatch yesterday
leader Of one of the factions, and Mr..
Edgar Allan, Jr., the head of the other
Both gentlemen express willingness to
compromise on any fair proposition, but
their claims as TO which is entitled to
the larger representation in the district
and city committees, and as to which had
control of the convention, leaves little
hope that they will get together.
Conferred in Vain.
The two gentlemen conferred. before
and after the convention, but did not get
together. Mr.. Allan claimed that his fac
ton had at least tWenty-SiX of the dele
gates to West Point. and that they Were
entitled to a certain proportion Of the
committees He had nothing to ask for
himself, he said and was interested
only for the sake of party harmony.
He was willing to make any fair con-
cessions. He denied that there was any
negotiations in progress looking to a
settlement OF the differences and the re-
tirement of the Congressional candidate or
the chairman of his local faction.
What MIR. Trent HoIds.
Mr.. Treat declared that the Allan wing
was in minority at West Point, and
that the "ins, they are known, abb
solutely controlled the convention. The
Goochland contesting delegation, he said,
had not complied with the plan of organi-
zation and had no credentials, hence they
were not and could not properly be placed
on the roll. He, too. expressed the
greatest Willingness to -see-5tlle two fac
tions get together, and declared himself
in favor of any fair solution of the fac
tional differences.
Altogether, there seems very little pro-
bability of a reconciliation of the warning
factions. The Democrats do not regard
the candidacy of either Mr.. Edwards or
Mr.. Talley seriously. They consider their
candidacy merely a form, and do not an
ticipate any real effort to elect by the
Republicans

GREAT BRITAIN BACKS
UP SECRETARY HAY,
Protest to the German Foreign
Office at Berlin.

BERLIN, September 1s.-The German
foreign Office has received a note
from the British government inviting some
action on the part of the sgnatories of
the treaty of Berlin of 1875 regarding
Roumania's treatment of the Jews? The
British note is shorter than that of the
United States on the same subject but
it spursues the same end. 1t is assumed
here that Great Britain knew Of the
United States step beforehand, and acted
in support thereof. The United States
action is regarded as being quite within
her rights in seeking the assistance of the
signatories in preventing an influx of in
digent immigrants, which is recognized
as a substantial grievance. These two
notes will result in an interchange of
views between the Powers as to what
action is feasible. In the meantime, it
is expected that Roumana will take
cognizance of the United States protest
and defend her case upon her own initia-
tive before the signatores.
The foregoing represents the views of
of the German government but the press.
knowing nothing of the British note,
seems to consider the United States ac-.
ton as simply chivalrous. and as not
likely to result in practical measures.
The Vosssche Zeitung publishes let
ter from Bucharest Rounania, saying
that emigration continues, and that the
Roumanian government, in passing the
law on the subject. promised to adopt
administrative regulations that would
mitigate harshness, but these promises,
the correspondent affirms, We're not full
filled.

In Three Months Four Thousand
Prosecuted People Emigratcd.
LONDON, September 19-In dispatch
from Bucharest, Roumania, dated Sun
day, September 14th, q correspondent of
the Daily Express says the emigration
fever among the Jews of Roumania still
continues. and that withiny the last three
month 1900 Jews have left the country.
country.
Tonight, the correspondent goes on,
a party of $50 left for Canada and the
United States, and small parties of Jews
leave the larger towns Of the country al
most daily. Although the reason given
by the emigrants for leaving is their in
ability to obtain work, t1le Jews steadily
refuse to take up farm labor. Proof Of
this is found in the fact that within the
last three years Roumania has paid for
outside Bulgarian labor something like
$3,000,000, which might have gone to the
Jews if they would only turn their hands
to the light labor Of harvesting.
Bulgarian laborers, the correspondent
concludes, are we'll housed and excellent
ly fed while working on Roumanian
farms.

his wife, Annie, who had been missing

press wagon passing along the plank

Meadows. An attempt had been made to
sink it with a 20-pound iron weight at

end Of which was tied around the wo-
found in the abdomen, and a later exam

in the water only a few hours. The
body was removed to Jersey City, and
