the Imperial Red Hook Lane Brooklyn resou-

ton Counsel James D. Bell for reelection as
chairmen of the Kings County Democratic Ex-
ecutiVe Committee and the General Committee,
respectively. were passed without a dissenting
voice W. r. Mcclure of the With District, who
has been gradually breaking away from McCar-
ren, vas excused from voting on the ground that
he might not be chosen to represent the dis

seph p. Donnelly and Magistrate John Manner

without action.
Senator McCarren, talking after the meeting
could not be induced to discuss the fight
with Murphy, except to say that the autonomy
OF Brooklyn would be preserved He said he had
no idea who would be chosen TO succeed Nc
Guire in the With District. He is confident
however that it will be one of his supporters

 Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Prince DOlg0rOuky BeIabOrs Russian
 Minister of Foreign Affairs.
 St Petersburg. June 1.-Reports of an attack upon Count Lamsdorff, min- ister of foreign affairs. which grew last night into a rumor Qater denied) of attempted assas ssination, have their foundation, as nearly as can be ascer- tained in a personal assault, commit ted Monday evening, by Prince Dolgo- rouky, a disappointed office-seeker. The prince is an opponent of Count Lams- dorff's policy, and is said to have be- come insane through breeding over his alleged grievances.
 Dolgorouky formerly was an officer in the Imperial Hussars. but is now on the retired list. At one time he was connected with the foreign office as an attache at Vienna. Since then he is said to have been a constant applicant for d position In the foreign service. but without success. He belongs to the Slavophile party, strongly opposed to the pacific policy of the minister of for eign affairs.
 According to the story current in the city, the prince met Count Lamsdorff in the street Mondayy evening and without warning struck him on the head with a walking stick. In so do- ing he is said to have calmy announce ed that he chastised the foreign minis ter in the name of the whole Russian people.
 Police agents rushed to the scene and seized the prince who immediately handed them a card saying 1t was a private affair. Nevertheless he was placed under arrest.
 Count Lamsdorff called upon the Elm peror Tuesday. it having been his reg ular day for an audience, and there fore not necessarily connected with the assault. The counts friends are deeply incensed over the affair which is re- garded. however. as the act of a mad man.

Memphis. Tenn, June 1.-(Special ) Bob Triton performed in another losing game for the Pretzels today. He lacked control and other requisites of a successful pitcher. but in justice to him he begged for rest prior to the game, complaining of a sore arm AS other pitchers were also complaining there was no alternative of Manager Pabst. and with the request that he do the best he could he sent Triton to the field. His wild ways aided the Memphis team in the second when he based Cannon, first up, Fritz. Downey and Beeeher followed with two bag kers sand Triton meantime passed Stockdale. Four Memphians tallied and more would have followed but Beecher forgot the number of outs and was doubled at second by Durrett who returned MiIier's liner to Dele hnnty. Triton walked ten Memphians to Keenan in the fourth. Keenan again in the sixth and Downey in the sev- enth helped to produce scores. Stock dale held his former comrades safe un- til -'-n seventh when Manners singled and scored on Downey's juggle of Stickney's grounder, followed by Pabst's solitare to right.
