Probably Fatal End of a Prize Fight. |A THREE-CORNERED FIGHT. A McLEOD MOVEMENT. It is Said That He is Being Pressed to Re- me the Reading's Presidency. Purapetenta, April 5.—It is reported in financial circies afternoon that great pres- sure is being brought’ to bear upon President | McLeod to withdraw his resignation and con- tinue in control of the operating department of the Reading railroad. Mr. MeLeod has, understood, the matter under advisement. The Financial News reporting agency is authorit, Mr. McLeod's retirement from the Reading will haw a serious effect upon the anthracite coal trade. His personal infiuence, it is fur- ther stated, in connection with the coal indus- try is confessedly large. and it is within bounds to say that he has for a considerable tength of time dominated that trade. His policy, it is also said. has been such as to increase the profits to both miners and dealers, and these classes regard his retirement asa signal for lack of cohesion among all concerned in main- taining prices at a uniform level. MR. PLATT SURPRISED. New Yorx, April 5.—Ex-Senator Thomas C. Platt, upon whose application @ receivership road. said today: “The resignation of Mr. McLeod as president of the Beading was as great a surprise to me as toanybody. The reason for his retirement I believe to be as stated by him in his letter to the board of managers of the company. Mr. McLeod's treatment is unde- served. His financial measures ave been de- vised at the best. motives ard wholly in the in- terest of the Reading. Asa practical railroad man his ability eannot be questioned. I sup- pose he will now give his entire time to the af- faire of the Boston and Maine and the N York and New England roads, of which he is president.” WHY M'LEOD WAS REMOVED. J. Edward Simmons, the chairman of the committee of general mortage bondholders of | the Reading, said: “The retirement of Mr. McLeod was brought about by the action of the bondholders. It is one object acebmplished for which the bondholders, committees were formed. Now we shall dind out the exact financial condition of the company. We concede that some receivers’ certificates must be issued, but we insist on prices at a uniform level.” sionbeianl ee SINKING OF THE SULTAN’S STEAMER.

SUPPRESSING THE REPORTS. ‘The censors are suppressing all reports of the disaster to the palace steamer and journals | printing stories of the calamity have been | seized by the authorities. An irade has been issued probibiting newspapers from being published before the afternoon, presumably in order to enable the censors to enjoy their morning snoozes before having to undertake the task of examining the proposed issues. ‘The publication ot the fact of the accident cased a great sensation among the poouiace and greatly incensed the sultan. His majesty was further annoyed on account of an accident to Harcki Pasha on the same day. ‘The horses jattached to the carriage conveying Harcki Pasha ran away and Harcki jumped from the carriage and was instantly kilied.

LODGE’S DISTRICT. Democrats Believe That the Republican Split Will Elect Their Candidate. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Bostox, April 5.—There will be « three-cor- nered fight for Senator Lodge's congressional sent if the friends of Mayor Hayes of Lynn can induce him to accept a bolting nomination. | | Both the republican and the democratic seventh | congressional district conventions were held yesterday. The former at Charlestown and the latter at Meirose, the republicans nominated Speaker W. E. Barrett after a six-hour contest, but fifty of the 109 tes withdrew and | nominated Mayor Elibu B. Hayes of Lynn. | The democrats also had a contest that lasted from 7 o'clock until after midnight, but they | nominated Dr. William Everett of Quincy and | broke up in good humor. Dr. Everett's chief Gpponents were ex-District Attorney Henry F. | | Huriburt of Lynnand Philip J. Doherty of | | Boston. On the first ballot Everett received 74 votes, Hurlburt, 49: Doherty, 40. Dr. Everett never lost his lead and the least votes he received was sixty-eight. He was nominated on the tenth ballot by the following vote: Whole uumber of votes cast 171, neces- sary for a choice 86, Everett had 89, Doherty 63, Hurlburt 8 and scattering 11, ‘The cause of the republican schiem grew out of the report of the committee on credentials respecting the seven delegates from ward 4, | Charlestown. It was allowed that the caucus | at which the Barrett delegates were chosen was not conducted in accordfince with the rules of the Australian ballot law, under which it was | held. | When the committee reported in favor of the | sitting delegates the Hayes delegates claimed | that the seven delegates whose seats were at stake had no right to vote. ‘The chair ruied that they had, and quoted parliamentary authority to that effect. To have refused their votes would have left | only fifty Earrett supporiers to fifty-two | friends of Mr. Hayes, thus giving the latter control of the convention and the privilege of unseating the seven delegates from wara 4. tes When the chair decided that these del | might vote-an appeal was taken, but the chair | was sustained, ‘The Haves men withdrew to another hall in the same building and nominated their candi- | | date afte- a brief discussion of its advisability. | They left the responsibility of accepting with Mr. ‘Hayes. He says on the subject: “I feel very sure that | the genilemen who supported me would not have taken the action reported without very good cause. T therefore desire to consult with them before taxing any position.” It is the opinion among politicians here that he will appear before the ballot commissioners and file a strong protest against the acceptance | of the report of the regular convention, and | that subsequently his followers will present the | reasons why, in their opinion, the action of the | boiters is the legat nomination. Speaker Berrett, in accepting the nomina- tion, said, after announcing his intention to | keep the district where it had stood for the past cight vears: “Ido not know, gentlemen, what the history of this convention is, except aa it has reached me ina desultory way, but I am free to say, however, from positive knowledge thet’ no man’ supporting my |name in this contest has said any- |thing or has done avything to pro- mote dissatisfaction or republican friction. While I cannot undertake to read the feclings of men I do undertake to say that when the re- sult of this convention is known, when the moderation and good feeling shown by you is communicated to the stalwart loyal republicans of the seventh district, a great shout will go up telling that they propose to stand by the work of a convention which has been fairly and honestly conducted. Let them pass the verdict whether they propose to be represented by a republican or a democrat.” ‘The democrats are in high feather and say they wili elect their man because the republi- can breach will be a wide one, whether Hayes consents to run or not Senator Lodge has an opportunity toexercise all his tact if he hopes to Keep his district in the republican column.

The ad- mission of new evidence at this stage, Mr. Phelps «aid, was a gross injustice to the United States, becanse it deprived the United States of any chance to adduce rebutting testimony. Mr. Phelps discoursed at some length on the technical meaning of the treaty of arbitration and the conditions and methods of procedure to be followed under the treat; Sir Charles Russell, in replying to Mr. Phelps in behalf of Great Britain, paid a tribute to the late James G.

New Yong, April 5.—The unusual spectacle f 150 stalwart republicans rising in their seats nd wildly cheering the namo of Gon. Robert E. Lee was an incident at the dinner of the West Side Republican Club held at the Hotel Endicott last night which will not soon be for- gotten by those who were present. Col. John 8. Wise, one of the spenkers, created a sensation by the courage and elo- uence displayed by him in Creep, fed posi- tion and the reasons that impelled him to be John N, L. Hunt, ex-president -of the board in the republican part of education, presided. At his right hand was | seated the venerable Gen, Stewart [ Wood- ford. On bis left sat Col. John 8. Wise of Virginia, : With references to the past ringing in his ears Col. Wise arose and not only made a bril- lant speech, but in iess than five minutes he had this republican audience wildly cheering for his old commander, Gen. Robert E. Lee, Col, Wise at the outset mildly deprecated the tendency of republicans to live in the glories of the past rather than facing the issues of the present and setting their minds upon the glor- tous promise which the future held out to the republican party. He said that until the matter was settled by the great struggle between the opposing armies in the late war the question of whether a citizen's primary allegiance was due to the federal government or his state was an open one. Even so learned aman and so great an apostle of the federal system as Alexander Hamilton was unable to cnewer this moment ous question. It was never definitely settled to whom that allegiance was due until it was decided by the god of battles. Col, Wise paid a high tribute to the integrity and lofty principles of Gen. Lee, under whom he served, and declared that no man ever went into a struggle with more honest convictions of what he thought to be his duty. The spenker, who was at the time a cadet in the Virgininia military school—the West Point of the confederacy—was called with a class of 300 young boys to take his place in the field. He went and fought for his state, to which he honestly believed his allegiance was due. When the war ended he accepted ite issues and in- fluenced by the words of Gen. Lee he became @ member of the party whose principles had. tri- umphed. Col. Wise repeated Gen. Lee's words, in which he told his former comrades in arms that whatever else they might think, one thing was settled, and that was that the first duty of an American citizen was the allegiance he owed to the old flag and the federal government.

Results of the Election in Chicago Yester- day. Curcaco, April 5.—Today’s returns from the city election were all laurel leaves for Carter Harrison. The figures, which are now practi- cully complete, do not give the slightest ray of hope to his opponents. Beyond all doubt he is chosen world’s fair mayor of Chicago. Mr. Harrison says that he will falsify the pre- dictions of his enemies, adding: “I will show them that in my administration of civic af- fairs Lean be guided by the best interests of the public, and that other considerations will have no influence with me. My first and best efforts will be for the general good of the “Tho tt latest computation’ of Harrison's plu- rality over Allerton, the citizens’ and republi- can candidate, is 18,471. It is not likely’ that this result will be ma- teriaily altered. Harrison led his ticket, but the other leading democratic candidates are all elected by sub- stantial majorities. The new city council is republican and is pointed to as indicating that the ‘‘working” repubiicans were lukewarm in the fight for Allerton. ‘The suburbs of Rogers Park and West Ridge voted to merge themselves into the robust and radiant whole of Chicago. According to the Daily News Rogers Park elected herself to the “glorious fate with fitting spontaneity and enthusiasm, but West Ridge comes in only by dint of much boosting. Her attitude is not that of a glad bride. Rather, it is that of the ill-tempered youngster who, being offered gum, stands sulking in her corner. her thumb in her mouth and glaring impolitely from under her | puckered eyebrows.” eee Killed in a Railroad Accident.
