His Bill.

Surrogate Cohalan yesterday signed
an order approving the bill Of Paui

There will be further charge for
the minutes OF the sessions from the

Under an agreement between coun-

furnished to them every day, four TO

Colonel ROOseveIt's Secre-
tary Predicts New York
Plurality of $4,000.
PARKER WILL QUIT
TICKET, is PREDICTED
Local Moose Base Their Hopes
Largely ON the State
Fight.

John W. McGrath. secretary to Colo
mel Roosevelt, has figured out to his own
satisfaction that Charles +. Hughes
will have a plurality of $4,000 over
Woodrow Wilson in this state. Here
is how he did it yesterday, to quote
his own words:
Suppose the anti-Hughes element
is correct; suppose the claims made by
them that Wilson will receive 80 per
cent Of the Progressive vote in New
York State this fall is correct. Just do
some figuring. The total Taft and
Roosevelt 1912 vote in New York State
was approximately $4,000. Our lat
est accurate line on the way these
votes will go this fall was the 1914
| election. Whitman received $4,000 of
these votes. and Davenport $1,000.
Thirteen thousand were lost in the
shuttle But the 1914 election clearly
indicates that all are Republicans now
except 47,000, and so per cent OF this
$1,000 Progressive voters in this state
will give President Wilson just 23,500
votes to add to Glynn's 1914 vote Of
54l 900.
Gives Wilson $1,000.
That gives Wilson 1000, as against
the 100000 total Hughes can be cx-.
pected to receive, which is made up OF
the Whitman 1914 vote plus half of the
Davenport 1914 vote.
But if the point is raised that Will
son is stronger than Glynn, we will take
his own 1912 vote and add half of the
1914 Progressive vote and you will have
a total of $50 ,000-or 10000 votes short
of the number Mr.. Hughes should GER
tainly receive. This would make Mr..
Hughes's election certain"
So far as the proposed resssembling
of the Progressives at Chicago on Au-
gust is concerned. there is q wide
divergence of opinion. The ultra
radicals are bent upon the meeting,
while the more conservative element is
opposed. The latter is OF the belief
that il would be unwise to fill the va
cancy at the head Of the ticket caused
by the resignation of Colonel Roose-
welt.
Think Parker Should Quit.
Slowly they are veering around TO
the conclusion that John NJ. Parker
should withdraw as the nominee for
Vice President. thus leaving the mem
bers Of the Progressive party free to
vote as they may see ft on Election
Day. This, it is said. by those in a
position TO know is the most likely
outcome.
Those on the inside Of the Progress
sive organization in this state said yes
terday that the chief object to be kept
in mind was the preservation Of the
party, and that this could best be done
through the naming of a state ticket.
John J. O'Connell. chairman Of the
! Progressive committee of New York
County, said that in his belief the NOM
ination for Governor of Judge Samuel
Seabury by the Bull Moose would in
sure to the party at least 100000 votes,
while only 10000 are needed to keep
the party emblem on the ballot.
He was confident that Judge Seabury
would accept if named in the primaries.
and that regardless of the action Of the
| Democrats.

Whitman Campaign Man.
ayers, Named, Are All
from the Old Guard.
SAGE OF ALBANY
IN BARNES'S PLACE
Aldridge, Koenig, Ward, Kracke
and Hendricks Also Put
On the List.

Governor Whitman's historical
stabilizing committee is going to run
his campaign for reelection this fall.
This fact became known yesterday
when Frederick c. Tanner, chairman
of the Republican State Committee,
announced the appointment of an ex-
ecutive committee, composed of prac-
tcally every prominent Republican
leader in the state. William Barnes
was left off the committee by Mr..
Tanner, but Senator Sage, Of Albany,
the chief political lieutenant of
Barnes, was named.
No Progressives were named by Mr..
Tanner, and no reasons were assigned
therefor. Had the state chairman de-
sired there was nothing TO prevent
him giving the Bull Moose places on
the committee, as Of necessity the ex
ecutive committee need not be COM
posed of members of the Republican
State Committee. The new commit
tee had the approval of Governor
Whitman before being made public by
Chairman Tanner.
Uncle" George Aldridge Named.
The most prominent members of the
committee are George W. Aldrdge, OF
Rochester; William Ward, of West
chester, and Francis Hendricks, OF
Onondsga. Each one is the boss Of
his particular county, and last winter
at Albany they had the entree to the
executive Office when all others were
barred They also had the disposal OF
most of the Governors patronage. 1t
was because of this that they became
known as the stabilizing committee.
The stabilizers will be in complete
charge of the Whitman campaign. To
leave no doubt of this the committee
will meet next week and select Sena-
tor George F. Argetsinger, of Roch-
ester, chairman. He is one of George
w. Aldridge's proteges. The whole
committee is composed of one mem
Der from each of the nine judicial dis
tricts, and is as follows:
Here is the List.
Samuel S. Koenig, of this city; F. j..
II. Kracke, of Brooklyn; senator henry
M. Sage, of Albany; Congressman Ber-
trand II. Smell, of st. Lawrence; Fran
els II. Hendricks, Of Syracuse; j..
Johnson Ray, of Binghamton; George
W. Aldridge, of Rochester; Congress
man Charles NJ. Hamilton, OF Chau-
tauaua, and William L. Ward, Of West
chester.
The unusual activity around Re-
publican headquarters in West Thirty
ninth Street yesterday took many well
known party members, who happened
to be in the neighborhood, by surprise.
Things have been remarkably quiet
there for the last year or so. In
vestigation disclosed the fact that the
committee was moving to the Metro
politan Life Building, so as to be
nearer TO its chairman, Mr.. Tanner

Wife, Seeking Divorce, Got Only
Few Postcards.

Camden, ~ j., July 25.-Decision was
reserved to-day in an application for
a rule of exception in the divorce suit
brought by Mrs. Sarah A. Gilbert
against her clergyman husband, the
Rev. Henry Stewart Gilbert: In 1898
Mr.. Gilbert was pastor of the Baptist
Church. at Rio Grande, n. j. On the
outbreak of the Spanish War he en-
listed, and since then his wife has not
seen him.
She got word of his reinlistment in
the Philippines, and some postal cards
later from Cairo, Egypt. She has not
heard from him in eight years, she
says. Her petition fer divorce on the
ground of desertion having been
denied, she asks a rule of exception
from the finding of the master and a
review of her case by the Vicc-Chan-
cellor.

The frantic efforts Of Gustav c. Van
Duzen. superintendent of Water Works
Construction, and the two rescue par
ties TO reach the men imprisoned by
the explosion without gas helmets or
pulmotors resulted in the increase in
the death list. This afternoon third
rescue party, equipped with the safety
devices, entered the tunnel and recov-
cred the rcscuers, ten of whom were
dead. Van Duzon was among the res
ouers who were revived.

Headed by d. j. Parker and l.. NJ.
Jones. of the United States Bureau Of
Mines, who arrived here from Pitts

wrecked tunnel from the crib end.
They did not spend much time then
investigating the condition of the tun-

which were scattered along the tunnel.

the ten-foot tube was choked with mud

railroad had been torn up for many
yards north of the hftyfoot mound Of
mud where the bodies lay buried.
Perils came anew then. Jones or

slowly filling again with the poisonous
gas. The electric light system had
been repaired during the morning, be-

COLORED CENSUS

able growth In its black population.
The negroes are coming from the
West Coast Of Africa and from Amer
lea. A striking feature of the in
vasion Is that the blacks so num-
erous on the city streets generally
are arrayed in garments of the lat
est cuts and huee. The color schemes
usually are rather loud, the negroes
from Africa vieing with those from
the United States in riot of checks,
stripes, vivid neck-ties, lurid hose and
bright yellow shoes.
At first this invasion puzzled the
authorities here, but little investi-
cation tended to solve at least a
part Of the mystery. The bulk of

men on steamers whose white crews
presumably have become reduced
through the war. They are not all
seafareis, however, for many appear
to have signed for one trip only and
have obtained employment here In
the shorthanded factories at lucra-
tive wages. This is particularly true
of the American negroes, many of
whom have come over as muleteers
or other workers on ships in the
American trade.
The West Africans speak English
of course, but not very fluently. The
American negroes being quite glib
of tongue are more interesting to the
Liverpool street crowds. The Amer
lean blacks do not go to all the ex-
tremes of dress affected by the Arr
cans, who in their new found wealth
and European surrounding have
proved profitable customers to the
cheaper class of tailors.
