He MAY NOT STICK
Delegates Assert Pierce's In
dorsement for Governor
was Complimentary.
FISHERS BOOM Is NOT DEAD
There Were no Contests in Making
County Ticket at Cambridge
Yesterday.

The Geneseo delegation to the Hen
ry county republican convention held
at Cambridge yesterday spent last
night in Rock Island en- route home
from the convention. The Geneseoans
do not regard the resolution in favor
of John H. Pierce as antagonistic to
the aspirations of their townsman,
\ Col. II. V. Fisher for the nomination
for lieutenant governor. They claim
that while such an inference might
very readily be drawn from the pro-
Iceedings of the convention. vet there
is thorough understanding between
Pierce and Fisher, and that as n mat
ter of fact Pierce is not a candidate
for governor and may not be. The
resolution, they say, is simply to take
cognizance of the complimentary
mention of Mr.. Pierce in connection
with the gubernatorial nomination
and to Indicate that Henry county
would like him to become candidate.
In this event the party in that county
will do all possible for his candidacy
and Fisher will cease to be consid-
cred. If Pierce declines. however,
then the Fisher boom will go on.

Twelfth Night"
| Creatore and his magnificent italian
band of 60 pieces thrilled an audience
of about 400 people at the opera house
| last night and their splendid work
awOke the greatest enthusiasm. He
directs as no other leader directs, us
ing body, arms, fingers, head and even
his voice to encourage his men. And
they respond to his every movement
sometimes playing soft and low with
the most delicate shades of express
sion, and again producing a very
whirlwind of music as in the close of
the grand selection from Carmen.
The motion of his hands or body is
but the means by which he commune
Gates to his players the action of the
piece which they are playing. He is
eXpressiveness personified. He is
earnest and enthusiastic and casts
aside all tricks of expression and
seems absorbed in his work. Selec-
tions from operas lend a new color
and revelation under his interpreta-
tions; his ballad music is rich and ar
tistic, and his national airs stir the
soul TO renewed patriotism.
His program embraced the highest
order of music from the sweet tones
of the Loin du Bal of Gillet and the
intermezzo from ''Cavaliera Rustica-
ma" to the wonderful crash of music
in the march in "Tannhauser," and
the closing tragedy of Carmen" \
vocal number, Verdi's "Erwani mos
lami,' was given by Nine. Barili.

This actress unites to Il high degree
two qualities rarely possessed in an
equal manner by the same artist, re-
finement and strength. Possessed of
a warm emotional temperament and a
very sympathetic voice her comedy is
as piquant as her feeling is profound.
BY this means she makes it easy to
understand why the gentle Viola.

County Ticket Fight.

The fight on the county ticket is be-
coming more pronounced daily. The
recent appointment of f. H. Kelly as
master in chancery has had no little
political significance, as it meant the
retirement of w. j. Entrikin from Mo-
line to make a clear field for the re-
nomination of G. W. Gamble for the
circuit clerkship. In due time Will
follow the withdrawal of AXel Kohler
as candidate for states attorney in
furtherance of the same end. This
much accomplished, Boney Johnson's
mission to hold the fort here for his
old chief, Mr.. Gamble. will have been
fulfilled. and he, too, will step grace
fully aside.
II. \. Weld practically is regarded
as out of the running for the states
attorneyship nomination. as the race
has narrowed down to j. X. Scott and

ANGLO-RUSSIAN STATUS.
No Negotiations for a Treaty Since
the War Began.

st. Petersburg July 1.-THE Associated
Press Is authoritativelv Informed that since the
outbreak of the war neither Russia nor Great
Britain has proposed negotiations looking 10
the settlement OF pending questions between the
two countries. and that consequently the
port that Russia has rejected any Overtures BY
Great Britain I'm this direction Is a mistake
II is known however that prior 70 the out
break OF hostilities tentative negotiations for
the adjustment of long standing differences be-
tween the two countries had begun but when
Great Britain's ally became involved in
with Russia the improperly of continuing the
negotiations was recognized by both parties.
and by mutual agreement they were adjourned.
Since that time there has been no effort by
either side to renew them
Nevertheless. 1t seems beyond question that
the diplomacy OF both countries is striving 10
pave the way for an agreement at the conclu-
sion OF the war In the mean time independent
questions which arise being settled IN the
best of spirit. shown in the sealing cases and
in Great Britain's undertaking TO act for Rus
sia in the protection OF the seal fisheries OF the
Commander Islands, IN BehrinS Sea Especially
since the arrival OF Sir Charles Hardinge. the
British Ambassador. whose special mission is
believed TO be the cultivation OF better rela-
tons in view of an ultimate agreement. there
has been a noticeable lessening Of anti-British
sentiment IN Russia.

GOVERNOR HERE TO-DAY.
This Week To Be a Busy One an
RcmbEcan Circles.

Governor B. B. Odell. jr., chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee, will arrive in the city
this evening and go to Republican headquarters
in the Fifth Avenue Hotel 1t is to be a busy
week in Republican circles. The campaign Is TO
get under full swing, and there will be many Re-
publican leaders from all parts of the State mere
to confer with the chairman. Nothing has been
settled as yet about the makeup of the State
ticket. and it IS probable that there Will be con-
ferences regarding II this week.
The Republican plan is for a quiet but ef-
fective campaign. There VIII be less red fire,
rockets, oratory ana hurrah about the campaign
than heretofore, perhaps, but every stroke will
count. Already the plans carefully laid in
every district in the state. It is the intention
Of the Governor to pay especial attention to
Manhattan and Kings. The vote in both New
York and Kings County at the last election was
not satisfactory, and a great deal Of work will
be done in these counties.
Senator Plat at the Oriental Hotel yester-
day. He spent quiet day and had politica!
callers Of note. There is nothing new" he said.
81 have not heard from the Governor since he
was here, and the construction of the State
ticket and many other matters Of organization
are still open problems This week Will be a
busy one, however, and you say that when
things get running they will hum"

NAY TURN DOWN n. y. OTIS.
other Westchester Republicans
Talked of for Congress.

a great deal Of talk is being INDUCED in regarding
the Republican Congress nomination in Westchester
County and situation has developed which may
lead 10 interesting fight between the various
cities and behalf Of some of their favorIte
sons. Until short time ago 1t supposed that
Norton P. Otis of Yonkers. would be renominated
and that the convention would be merely ratih-
cation affair, but a boom started for F. a.
Stratton, yice-presdent of the Westchester Light
ing Company. of Mount Vernon. which has had the
effect OF stirring up half dozen soporifc candi-
dates who have been lying quietly in their berths
waiting for Mr. Otis 10 get through with his second
term. The names now most prominently mentioned
for the honor OF representing the XIXth District.
besides those of Mr.. Otis and Mr.. stratton are
those Of John ]. Brown. of White Plains. and AS
semblyman j. Mayhem Wainwright. of Rye.
Those who seeking TO set Mr.. Otis aside say
he elected only that he might round out a
successful business career with term in Congress.
Mr.. Otis has had the Republican nomination twice,
they say and having obtained ample political and
social recognition. he and his friends should take
1t reflection that other worthy Republicans
have entered the field. The friends of Mr. Stratton
say that IL he elected 10 Congress he would
be very active in obtaining public buildings for the
cities of Yonkers Mount Vernon and New-Rochel!e,
and the expenditure OF thousands Of dollars In deep
ening and improving the harbors along she Sound
and Hudson.
AS president of the corporation which lights the
whole OF Westchester County. Mr. stratton is in
terested in the Improvement of the harbors at the
various places in Mount Vernon, Rochelle,
Yonkers Port Chester and other places where his
company has its plants. and he has headed several
delegations which have appeared before the River
and Harbor Committee in Washington. Mr.. STRAIT
ton has not out openly a candidate, but
his friends say he would not refuse the nomination
If it Were offered to him, and that his principal
motive in so doing would be to obtain some much
needed improvements in Westminster County.
50 far the Republican organization has not ex-
pressed itself regarding the ahoat.
Mr.. Ward has been at Freedom y. H, with
Governor Black and Nj Brown has been fishing
at Lake Placid, in the Adirondacks. 1t generally
believed, however that If there is 10 be tight
between Mr. Otis and ,Ir. Stratton, the organiza-
ton would favor Mr.. Brown as an added starter
Mr.. Brown is secretary Of the organization and is
closely identified with Mr. Ward and other State
leaders.
The suggestion that Mr.. Otis retire with ono
term IS not regarded favoraby by Leslie Suther-
land. the former Mayor OF Yonkers who is running
for County Clerk this year on the Republican
ticket. Mr.. Sutherland has made II known that If
MIR. OTIS wants a second term, Yonkers will be
with him 10 the last.
