CIRCUIT WILL ACCEPT.
READY TO TAKE A TAMMANY
 NOMINATION.
Although on the Low Ticket for Re- election, He is Ready to Run as Representative of
 the Tiger.

New York. Sept. 2e.-Edwin M. Grout, nominated for Comptroller of the fusion ucket with Mayor Low, announced today that he stood ready to accept Tam many nomination for that ofhce. He said he considered such a step the stropg- est help he could give to Mayor Low.
 MT. Grout said that he would feel free to accept Democratic endorsement if It were made unqualified and without any conditions. When asked if he thought that the fusionists would object to his accepting such endorsement. MT. Grout said they had the opportunity to object to 1t yesterday in rendering him their nomination. but that the suggestion that they object did not seem a welcome one. MT. Grout declared himself in favor of MT. Lows election and reiterated his former statement that the coming cam paign will not be conducted on national Issues but on the record of the present municipal administration, adding that he should stand on that record and that any proposition by any party or organization to endorse his nomination is necessarily made with a full knowledge of what his statement meant.
 Asked what he thought the effect of this endorsement by Tammany would have on the fusion ticket the Comptroller said:
 III my JuuSuicHt, dtteT. HchflHS all that has been said about the endorsement of MT. Fornes and myself by the Demo- cratic convention, 1t seems to me that the endorsement of a large part of this administration will strengthen and not hurt the chances of MT. Lows election and have said this to people of the ops posite political faith who have spoken to me on the subject"
 The Evening Post today says:
 "The Republican leaders appear to be unanimous in the opinion that Grout and Fornes should retire from the Union tick ct if they accept Tanmany nominations. If they do not retire they will probably be asked to do so. The Republican city convention appointed a committee to i'll vacancies on the ticket. This committee, 1t was said today. will be called togeth- CT in case Grout and Fornes accept Mur- phys offer and other names will be con- sidered for Comptroller and President of the Board of Aldermen.
 "Senator platt declared squarely today that Grout and Fornes must retire from the fusion ticket if they take the 1am- many nomfna tions"

AT McDoNALD's THEATRE.
Beverley's Vaudeville Bill Pleased
 Another Large Audience,

Another Large Audience.
 The thing that makes vaudeville popular is its variety. and there is enough diver" sity about the program at McDonald's $ Theatre this week.
 Frank BeverIeys combination drew second large audience to the house last night, and 1t was evidently an audience that went away satisfied. The one-act farce, the monologues. the sketch teams the solos, the dancing the music, served to comprise bill that pleased all classes
 The Woodall brothers do clever turn, notwithstanding some of their jokes have seen service. The one in white face ought to he told that others do not learn him things The black-face brother is good and their act goes well with the boys in the loft.
 Owing to a defect in the program, the audience on the first night confused Woodall brothe. s with Raleigh ard B,a d, a rather good man and woman sketch team. They put on their act with some care and Miss Raleigh makes a good foil to Beard.
 Miss Townsend last night sang some new songs in rarely sweet voice This feature of the bill appeals to refined folk She sings with perfect sympathy. and she has very fetching dash about her work-a dash that wins the better classes in the audience.
 The bill was closed by the two Bever- leys in bit of nonsense that pleased.
 There will be matinee this afternoon and performance again tonight. The bill will be changed tomorrow night.

STONED THE OFFICERS.
Privates of a German Regiment in
 Mutiny.

Berlin. Sept. 2s.--A crowd of private soldiers belonging to the second (Baden) grenadier regiment. threw stones at their officers recently, while riding at Recherst- shausen. Fifteen of the soldiers were arrested and have been taken to Heidel- berg for trial
 The second grenaders Is the regiment in which occurred the case of the four privates who were recently sentenced. one of them to ten years Imprisonment and others to six or three years impris- onment for assaulting a sergeant named Peters. which severity was contrasted by the Socialist Vorwaerts with the light sentence (twp years incarceration in a fortress) imposed on naval ensign Heuss- ner for killing his friend, an artilleryman, for not saluting him properly.
 The army authorities hold the Socialist successes at the elections to be partially responsible for the discontent among the soldiers who gathered at Heidelberg af- ter the announcement of the verdict in the Peters case and uttered threats against their officers; but they did noth- ing more.
