NEITHER WINS BIG VICTORY
Murphy and Mcclellan Stand About
as Before.

New IOrk.-Riots and blOOdshed in
Manhattan districts attended the hold.
ing of the Tammany Hall primaries in
Manhattan today, but the net result of
the fight of the factions was to leave the
situation practically unchanged.
Mcclellan was disappointed in his
hope of shaking Charles +. Murphy's
control of the organization. He did not
make a single gain in the Tammany ex-
ecutive committee. Murphy, on the
other hand, did not succeed as he had
predicted he would, in making a clean
sweep of the t~hirty-five assembly dis
trictS.
Maurice Stone, the Mcclellan leader
in the twentieth assembly district, car
ried the primaries there by an over
whelming majority against the com
bined vote of his Murphy opponents.
Francis J. Lantry also won his fight
by a safe majority. George Washing
ton Plunkett, author of Honest Craft"
was beaten by THE" McManus by
hundreds of votes.
These three districts and the thir-
teenth assembly district, where John F.
Curry, the Murphy candidate, was re-
elected over his Mcclellan opponent,
Coughlin, were the ones in which inter-
est was concentrated. There was q
constant succession of fights and many
arrests we're made,

State Capital Notes

Little Rock.-The State Board of Confederate Pensions. composed of Secretary of State o. C. Ludwig, State Auditor A. E. Moore and James H. Berry, met in annual session in the state auditors office Monday. The board will be session several days The object of the meeting is to pass upon new applications for pensions and applica. tions for pension increases. The board will have from 1.500 to 2,000 applca- tions to consider. Until the board passes upon these applications 1t would be impossible to state with any degree of accuracy what percentage each pensioner will receive of his claim. The amounts paid on the total allow ances of the board for the past five years are as follows: Forty-eight per cent in 1902, 46 per cent in 1903, 4S per cent in 1904, 51 per cent in 1905, GS per cent in 1906. There was received this year on account of the pension fund about $2s0,o00, the levy being one mill. Next year the receipts will be larger, the recent legislature having increased the levy 1-2 mill. This increased levy, together with the increased valuation of property in the state this year, will increase the pen sion fund next year, 1t is believed. to $350, 900.
