In the duo "sing On" by Miss Davies, and Miss Rose Holt, the blending of Miss Davies soprano with the contralto of Miss Holt was very fine. Miss Eleanor Wilson responded to several encores in her song "Tne Rose in the Garden" as did also Miss Isabel Cox in her contralto solo With Thee.. The two choruses that were especially pleasing to the audience were. "rhe Water Lilies" and the Now Tramp Der Moss and Fell'' by the ce- cilians.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Although the
State convention of the Independence
League which named tentative ticket
has been adjourned for three days,
nothing has been done by leaders of
the league to notify the candidates
elected of their nomination.
Until formal notification has been
given to the candidates and q written
acceptance received the managers OF
the league cannot put their nominating
petitions in circulation. AS the league
must file all the petitions with fifty
names from each county by October
IL. the delay in putting out the petit
tfons is ascribed to Hearsts desire to
obtain the Endorsement of the Demo-
cratic State convention in Buffalo next
week.
Another indication Of Hearst.s desire
to deal with leaders of the Democratic
organization was an announcement
made today by members of the ex-
ecutive committee that arrangements
might yet be perfected to swing Rep
resentatfve Big Tim Sullivan into line
for Hearst for Governor.
Hearst has arranged to speak sew
eral times In various parts of the State
this week. His first speech will prob
ably be made on Wednesday at the
Columbia County fair in Hudson. Lewis
Stuyvesant Chandler and John Ford.
two of his colleagues on the league
ticket, are to speak also.
Millions of buttons Of Hearst only,
the leagues press bureau said today,
will be sent at once to every county.

VALDEZ, Sept. 15.-The passengers
and crew of the wrecked steamer Ore
gon took to lifeboats the morning after
the steamship struck and were picked
up several hours later by the light
house tender Columbine, which was
surveying those waters for the light
house on Hinchinbreok.
The Columbine arrived at Valdez
with the passengers and mails at 8
o'clock this morning. The revenue cut
ters have not returned. The Oregon
was three miles off her course east of
Cape Hinchinbrook and struck the rock
fifty feet from shore. where the bank
is perpendicular and there was no
chance to land. She slid off until she
listed in a few feet of water, with sew

hard and fast aground, filled with water
to her second deck, and will go to

The captain maintained good disci-

were attempting to get of in a life

HASTEN To REDUCE
FREIGHT RATES.

WASHINGTON. Sept 15.-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission today rem
oered it's decision on the petition of the
Southern Railway Company and other
carriers operating east Of the Missis-
ssppi River and south of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers for permission TO equal
ize export rates on cotton. cotton seed
and it's products and lumber, and
thereby make changes in their export
rates without the thirty days notice
required by the new rate law.
The commission holds that carriers
rray legally issue through bills of lad
ing from the interior point OF shipment
to foreign destination which speciry
the inland rate TO the port OF export
and the ocean rate from the port OF
export. even though no joint through
rate is published.
The commission orders that mo pub
lished rates on cotton shall be advanced
except upon thirty Gays notice: that
from and after this date and until
March 1. 1907. carriers may reduce
their published export rates on cotton
to the various ports Of export upon three
days notice. and that until November
1 1905. carriers may continue to equal
fze export cotton rates through the
various ports by applying the lowest
combination through all the ports.
thereby making said rates without pub
lication and fling as required by law,
provided that they post IN two CON
spicuous places on the station cotton
/, received for shipment notice OF the
rate so made and mail copies OF the
same to the commission. said notices
TO specify the rate and the time dur
ing which the rate will continue In
effect"
AS to cotton seed and it's products
and lumber the petition was denied.
Scores OF applications for permission
to change freight rates have been re-
ceived by the commission during the
past few days. and in every instance
the changes which the carriers desire
TO make are reductions The applica-
tions have been entirely voluntary.
Commissioner Franklin Lane said:
1T would seem from the number and
importance of these voluntary reduc-
tions that many carriers recognize that
their rates were too high at the time
OF the enactment of the Hepburn law.
I. also seems that they are preparing
for the operation Of the new law. under
which freight rates cannot be changed
with the facility that formerly was the
rule

NEGRO WANTS TO TAKE
REST CURE IN COUNTY JAIL

Life has no joys like the County jail
for Harry Brown, a mfddle-aged negro
with a police record and an empty
pocketbook, nor do the cutters and
dOorsteps appeal to his affections in
bastiie and the assurance Of something
TO eat at regular intervals. Conse-
ouently, he wants to go back to the
iron barred residence where he has al
ready spent six months OF his life.
Brown appeared at the door Of the
Sheriff's office yesterday afternoon
shortly after business had been ended
for the day, and a look Of exultant
anticipation on his face gave way to
one Of distress when he found the door
locked against him. He strolled into
the Office OF the District Attorney.
where. after being informed that he
could not find the Sheriff before Mon
day. he told, his story.
He said that he was making an ef-
fort to get into the County Jail. be-
cause he was tired Of living in an
atmosphere Of work. He said his back
hurt from the unusual exercise he had
been forced to undergo in order to get
enough TO live on and that he was i'm
bued with an overwhelming desire 70
take the rest cure. Brown admitted
that he had spent six months IN the
County Jail and liked it.
He was directed TO the almshouse
for assistance and went on his way,
after being told that he would find the
aCccmm odations there equal in every
respect TO those In the County Jail.
