marY Fight an Kings.

Although for years first lieutenant of Hugh Nc
Laughin. former boss of the Democratic organiza-
ton in Brooklyn. and during that time power sec
ond only to Mclaughlin. James Shevlln never was
a member OF the General Committee, would
he allow his name primary ticket. 1t was,
therefore. somewhat of a surprise when IL was
announced yesterday that Mr.. Shevlin would head
the ticket at the primary in the XIth Assembly
District. This would seem to indicate that Deputy
Water Commissioner Thomas r. Farrell who has
been the executive member for years, is tearful
that Thomas +. Byrnes. who is the McCarren can
ddste for the leadership. may win next Tuesday
night. Byrnes himself is exceedingly confident.
At about the time It was announced that
Civil Justice Cornelius Furgueson. jr., of Bath
Beach, had been chosen to head the McCarren
ticket in opposition TO Deputy Fire Commissions
DOYLE in the With Assembly District lie was with
Doyle until recently, and Is expected to be
stronger candidate than Thomas WoGan, who op-
posed DOYLE last spring.

IL to be understood that the various men who are

This move would bring the japanese advance

as the new European settlement. Japanese here
expect that their army may even enter the res

ALL QUIET 1T SHANGHAI.
admiral Stirling Considers Case of
the 1sEOld Closed.

Washington, Aug. 26.-The Navy Department
to-day received a dispatch from Rear Admiral
Yates Stirling, commander in chief of the Ash
attic fleet, dated Shanghai to-day. saying that
the situation there is quiet and that he regards
the incident of the disarmament of the Russian
ships as closed
Mr.. Takahira, the japanese Minister here
called upon Mr.. Adee. Acting Secretary of State
to-day to talk over the settlement of the dues-
tions connected with the presence of the two
Russian warships in the harbor Of Shanghai
The Minister expressed qualification at the out
come Of the negotiations in the agreement to
disarm the vessels aud lay them up during the
completeness of the disa OF the ships

csc government through personal inspection Of
the craft by japanese naval officer designated
for that purpose. AS this course was pursued
in the case Of the Czarevitch at Using Chau
without much objection from the Russians, it
is expected that consent also will be given the
examination of the Askold and the Crozovoi at
Shanghai.
II is intimated here that there are two rea-
sons why the japanese government Is not dis
posed to press its original objections against
the course pursued by the Russian vessels IN
taking refuge in this fashion I'm Chinese treaty
ports and insisting upon its right 10 cut them
out. The first Is that Japan, more than any
other country, at this moment desires to main
tam IN run force the agreement to preserve Chi
nese neutrality and thereby avoid entangling
neutral powers. The second reason is that, eX-
pecting ultimate victory over Russia the
japanese contemplate the inclusion i'm the peace
treaty Of provision for the surrender to japan
of all the Russian naval vessels dismantled and
laid up in Chinese ports as well as any which
may be found In Port Arthur and Vladvostok.
