Judge Lansden contends very
strongly against the possibility Of

members of the city council who tx
pressed themselves ar the meeting
last week Alderman Magner who has
bean almost all his life at the river
bank and for many years at the water
vorls. was very emphatic in his
denial that there had ever been or
could ever be any such danger as Is
claimed, and as for supplying the
Tenth street pump with all tho water
1t could handle, II Is believed that the
steady growtb. Of the city below Twon-
tieth street for which there Is still
much room, will in due time tax that

capacity.

points raised by Judge I4ansden |

PLAN TO BAR DRYDEN
SEVEN ASSEMBLY SEATS TO BE
CONTESTED.

NEW YORK, November 2s.-A conference
of democratic members of the next legisla-
ture of New Jersey and of the recognized
leaders of that party was held yesterday at
the Manhattan Hotel in this city. The con-
ference was presided over by VIM. R. Gour-
ley, chairman Of the democratic state COM
nlittee of New Jersey. Great efforts were
made by the conference to keep secret what
was done behind the closed DOORS
Among those in attendance were Senator
elect Hinchliffe of Passaic county, Senator
Cornish Of Warren, Oliver Kelley of Middle
sex, David Crater of Monmouth and Will
liam ]. Thompson of Camden.
1t was learned after the meeting had
adjourned that the discussion was mainly
with regard to conteSting the election of
republican .assemblymen in Middlesex, Mon
mouth and Cape May counties. 1t was al
legged that proof had been secured that in
these counties frauds and irregularities of
most fragrant character had been dis
covered.
Appeal to Courts.
These frauds. it was decided should be
brought to the attention of the courts
and an earnest and energetic effort made
to unseat the assemblymen-elect whose
seats it was determined to contest.
The counties under suspicion returned
object of the attack on the legality of their
return Is to insure the return of a demo-
crat to the United States Senate to take
the place now occupied by John F. Dryden
republican.
The roster of the New Jersey legislature
as made up by the secretary of state shows
on its face republican majority Of only
seven on Joint ballot. Chairman Gourley
pointed out, it is said, that If the contests
are successful the apparent majority of the
republicans not only would be wiped out,
but an actual majority for the democrats
would be secured
With these changed party conditions the
democrats would have thirty eight votes in
the assembly, which, with the votes of the
six democratic senators, would give a total
of forty-four votes on joint ballot to the
votes than are necessary to select a sue
cessor to Mr.. Dryden.
Talk of Ex-senator Smith.
1t is understood that the conference did
not discuss the name Of any party candidate
for the upper branch Of the national Com
gress. but it was said that former United
States Senator James Smith, jr, was in
formally spoken Of as the democratic
nominee should the contest for the seats
of Middlesex, Monmouth and Cape May, for
which republicans hold certificates, be sue
cessful. Ex-senator Smith was seen in the
corridors Of the Manhattan Hotel after the
conference. When asked ii he would be
candidate for the seat he once occupied, IL
the democrats should obtain control of the
New Jersey legislature, he only shrugged
his shoulders and said:
You know have never refused to follow
where my party calls"

LONE BANDIT MADE

Round Mountain Stage Rob
Der Secures Large Sum
From Desert Travellers.
POSSES ARE ACTIVE
sr1c1AL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

TONOPAH Neya Oct 12.-Forty
mounted men are securing the hills in
search of the lone bandit who held up
c Round Mountain stage between that
place and Manhattan yesterday morn
ing Nothing has been seen of the
highwaynan since he ordered the stage
to proceed and then struck into the
hills. He has probably buried his
booty and is making his way into the
mountains in hope or leaving Ills pur-
suers behind and getting out of the
neighborhood, to return later and dig
up his gold 1t is stated att Round
Mountain by mining men concerned that
the bold crime netted the highwayman
$4,000. mostly in gold coin, and he could
not carry it any great distance.
The desperate is heavily armed, and
ii is thought that pattle will result
when the posse comes upon him.
The road to Round Mountain runs
along the east side OF the Big Smoky
Valley and it is miles across to the
Torabe range on the other side The
floor Of the valley is perfectly level. The
robber did not cross this or he would
have been seen by the Round Mountain
men, who arrived within an hour after
the hoId-up occurred.S In that time he
could not have gone half way to the
other side The posse has split up into
SQUADS, and these are searching every
canyon and gully in the hills. Lack of
water will. drive the outlaw into we'll
known canyons in a short time and his
capture seems certain.

.,zseless- This Interview had nothing
to do with financial negotiations. Wftte

situation.
1t is an open secret that Count
Witte would have greater confidence in
Russian finances. II the Ministry were
IN stronger hands. He declined to ex-
press his opinion Of NJ. kokovSoff. the

significantly when the correspondent OF

a great man Of small affairs
