Returns from 1872 city precincts give
1883 for Taylor. 373 for Ryan and s34 for
Mccarthy. This is about the proportion
shown in the individual precincts. and 1t
indicates a heavier vote for Taylor than
even the supporters of the good govern
ment" ticket expected. If this percentage
is maintained throughout the city Taylor
will pol a vote In excess Of $1,000.
LangdoE, candidate of the good govern
ment party for district attorney. upon
whose re-ele ctiun depends the continuance
of the graf. prosecution, is assured of
election. When all the returns are in, 1t
is predicted. Langdons vote will be about
equal to Taylor's This is a great victory
for civic reform.
SAN FRANCISCO, November 8,-The

WAITING AT THE JAIL.
Detectives Arrest Man Who Had

Edward Warren was disappointed today
when, upon being released from jail. he
learned that detectives were in waiting
to again place him under arrest. An in
dictment was returned against Warren in
Philadelphia for alleged shoplifting and
Detective Tate of that city was here to
get him.
Nearly six months ago Warren was ar
rested in this city by Detectives Horne

worked the 'fiim-1am" game upon fruit
dealers. There were two charges against
him, and he was fined $50 or six months
in each case. He served six months, and
friends provided funds with which to pay
the fine in the second case.
1t is stated that Warren Received $50
from friend few days ago, and that

was about to be paid he wired the Phila-

Berths for Visiting Yachts.

One of the problems confronting Lieut.
Sutton Of the harbor police precinct, who
has the local harbor in charge, is how to
provide berthing room for the many steam
yachts and pleasure craft that will visit
this city during the coming summer on
their way to or from the exposition. There
will be little, If any, room at the wharves
for the docking of the pleasure craft, and
the problem will have to be met by arrang-
ing anchorages in the harbor. The upper
end of the harbor is now much congested by
the many small pleasure craft that berth
in the anchorage off the Capital Yacht
Club house and by the wood and lumber
laden vessels that have to lie in the stream
while waiting to go into a dock to unload.
All that section of the harbor from the
foot of 9th street on the west to n street
on the south has to be kept open to allow
the steamers room to get in and out of their
docks, so that there is nothing left for the
yachts but the lower part of the harbor, off
the Washington Barracks Park. There, it
is expected, the harbormaster will have
anchoring berths arranged, and as the YES
sells arrive they will be given berth and
required to moor bow and stern. so that
they will not swing with the tide. 1t is
thought that this arrangement will care for
the vessels that will visit this city during
the coming seven months.

PIER STRIKERS NEW DEMANDS.
Will Be Content With Less Than 40
and go Cents an Hour.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The leaders of
the striking longshoremen at special
meeting in Hudson Hall, Hudson and
Leroy streets, yesterday decided not to
give up the fight but TO send to the
steamship companies modified demands,
for which the strikers say they will stand
out.
The original demands were 40 cents an
hour for day work, 60 cents an hour for
night work and 60 cents an hour for
work done on holidays and Sundays and
during dinner hour. The modified de-
mands are 30 cents an hour for day
work, so cents an hour for night work
and 60 cents an hour for all holiday
work and work done during the meal
hour. A resolution to that effect and
copies of the resolution signed by Pat
rick Connors, president; David East
wood, secretary, and the members of the
executive committee will be sent to the
different dock superintendent early to-
day.
I'VE will appeal to the labor unions
for moral and financial support and ask
for public sentiment in our favor. The
rates we ask are paid by the Savannah
line and some other line, and If the
wages we ask now are not conceded the
strike will continue, even If we have to
seek other occupations. We can go be-
fore the public with a clean record in
spite of exaggerated reports of riots
1t is considered doubtful If the COM
panies in view of the stand they have
taken will pay any attention to the
modified demands.

TALBOT TAX RATE.
Board Makes It Same as Last Year.
To Rebuild Bridges.

EASTON, Md, June 3.-The commissioners
Of Talbot county have fixed the tax rate
for 1907 at So cents on the s1O0, the same
as last year. The taxable basis is S9,4I3,
400, and at this rate will produce $50, $500
The schools got nearly third of the levy
the total appropriation for school purposes
being s24 765.
Decreases in items were estimated as fol
lows: Court expenses, $1,000; interest," $500
new roads, $3.50. The following increases
were made Almshouse, from 1000 to $500
Miles River bridge, from $1,000 to 5000
Tuckahoe bridge, from $3.50 to $1,SO0; cul-
verts and pipe, from $1,000 to $1,000; cleo
tons, from $1,000 to $1,000; state roads,
$1,000.
The large increase in the estimate for
Miles and DAckahoe river bridges is due to
the fact that they will need a thorough
overhauling and practically rebuilding
during the next twelve months. All other
items not mentioned are the same as last
year.

CIAMoR AGAINST EUGENE.
Ex-Empress Wins Suit and Arouses

PARIS, June 3.-The ill-feeling of the
French masses toward the former Empress
Eugene widow of Napoleon III, has been
strikingly illustrated. The eX-empress. who
since her return from exile has divided her
time between the Hotel Continental, in
Paris, whence she could look out over the
gardens of the Tuilleries, where she once
reigned supreme, and the resorts of the
Riviera some months ago brought suit to
recover large number of articles now
housed in the French national museums, on
the ground that they had been the per
sonar' property of her husband and were of
mo historic and little intrinsic value" The
case attracted no attention and practically
went by default but recently when the
court decided in the empress favor a ire
mendous outcry was raised The popular
newspapers took the matter up, the en-
press was called an -"adventuress' and
many old stories prejudicial to her fame
were revived

But Pelican got tangled up in some ropes.
The first section of his life had thus been
saved; the next job was to get him out of

who lived on the dredge, cautiously made
his way out to him. He untangled the dog,
handed him down to safety, and then
started back himself. Edwards foot caught
in a rope tangle, and he toppled overheard
and disappeared. Pelican ran to the side
of the dredge and barked anxiously. Capt.
Rogers and his men threw out lines, and
then went out in a boat. Later in the day
the police of City Island joined in the
search, but Edwards body could not be
found.
