ODD DN a OO" Adjournment of the Saratoga Con- vention Until Today. During the recess of the New York state republican conventicn at Saratoga yester- day afternoon the committee on contested seats decided to let the roll of delegates. stand as read in the preliminary session af the convention. This barred out Warner Miller In the Herkimer district, and when the convention reassembled the report was presented. Deputy Attorney General Hasbrouck ask- ed for a division of the question and a separate vote on the Oneida county case. Then, in the center of the hall, from the Herkimer county seats, came Warner Mil- ler. His face was full and his lips trem- bled as from parts of the hall came cheers and from other parts hisses and yells of derision. ‘‘Get out; you don’t belong here,” “You are a traitor,” ete., came cries from the galleries. Pandemonium arose and the chairman's gavel was almost useless to quell it. Down in the front Thomas C. Platt, his brows knitted, started to get to his feet. In an instant there was a calm, and in his quiet voice he was heard to say: “Mr. Chairman, I hope and I move that the gentleman be heard.”’ Organization and antl-organization join- ed in the applause that followed, and the gavel of the chairman finally succeeded in restoring order. Mr. Miller then began to speak. His re- marks were dignified and not incendiary. His declaration of republicanism, despite such treatment as might be accorded him, brought forth a storm of applause, and his declaration of loyalty to the party was similarly received. Mr. Hasbrouck’s motion to divide the question was defeated by a viva voce vote, and then the crowd paused in its hurrah- ing to see the result. Mr. Miller arose, and in a composed man- ner walked down the aisle to the spec- tators’ seats. There was hardly a sound either from the sneerers or the cheerers. It was a peculiar change from the earlier scene of riot and disorder. When quiet was restored the committee on permanent organization reported Gen- eral Stewart L, Woodford as the permanent chairman, and he assumed the chair and made a speech on the issues of the cam- paign. The Resolutions. At the conclusion of Mr. Woodford’s speech there was much applause, after which he called for the report of the com- mittee on resolutions. Chairman Quigg of New York read the report, and the plat- form as adopted by the committee was in- dorsed by the convention without debate. The platform congratulates the republi- cans of the country on the distinctness of the issue by which in the present cam- paign the great political parties are di- vided. It declares that the attempt to make an ounce of gold equal in value to only sixteen ounces of silver, when it is now worth thirty ounces, is hopeless and absurd, and that the mere announcement of the success of the democratic ticket would send gold at once to a premium, drive debtors into cruel liquidation and cause a further withdrawal of capital from investment and the further suspension of industry. The platform next declares that a tariff raust be enacted which will provide rev- enues sufficient to meet the ordinary and necessary expenses of the government, and so adjusted as to place American labor, without the sacrifice of our high wage system, on at least equal terms with our own market, with the labor of other hands, The nomination of McKinley and Hobart is indorsed and the administration of Gov- ernor Morton commended. The record of the last legislature was also indorsed, the Raines liquor tax law praised, making good roads advocated and the enactment of the greater New York bill approved. The Balloting. The chair then called for the nomination of candidates. The balloting resulted as follows: Name. Ist. 2d. | Name. Aldridge ....224 227 | Ellsworth . Fish ... 111 128 | Brackett Roberts ..... 95°91} Palmer Saxton | Hiscock Baxter Odell . Black Fassett Wadsworth Lexow - 3 The cenvention then this adjourned until morning at 11 o'clock. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN A Burglary That Has Pamled the Police. 4 . Colored Fighters or ae a Bad Piace for a Setth mt of Difficulties. The stove store of Mr. M. C. Mitchell was burglarized either Satarday evening or Sunday in a mysterlaus manner, and about $28 in money stolen. Of the missing money $13.50 was in an envelope and $15 Im a cash drawer. The theft was not discovered until the following Monday morning, when the money was counted. The thief evidently was afraid to steal any more money, as there was over $100 at hand which could have been taken at the same time. At first it was thought that the money had been misplaced, but a diligent search failed to reveal its whereabouts, and the matter was reported to the polic The thief left no clew, and suspicion rests on no one, and the police are at a loss in the matter. The case’.was given to Precinct Detective Frank Burrows. Bad Place for a Fight. Lemuel Harris and Richard Warfield, two colored men, became involved in an alter- cation, which led te blows, yesterday af- ternoon on 34th street near O street. From hitting each other with thelr fists the bat- tle took a different shape, and all portable objects within reach were hurled througa the air. The fighting occurred almost in front of the residences of Policemen Matt Edwards and Picrce, who were sleep- ing at the time. They were awaken- ed by the fracas and ran out of their houses and placed both men under arrest, Policeman Edwards be- ing in his bare feet. At the station house charges: of drunk and disorderly were placed against the name of each man. When searched a large pocket knife? with a blade fully six inches long, was found on Harris, and an additional char of carrying concealed weapons was placed against his name. Unlicensed Dogs, The police crusade dogs is still being waged without cessa- tion, and the precinct is determined to make the owners of all canines take out licenses. Yesterday Policemen Sullivan and Harrison had fifteen cases in the Police Court, every one of which, however, was against unlicensed nolle pro: beca a license had been taken out since the arrest. The day before there were several similar cases. made out. So far no fines have been imposed in the Police Court for a failure to take out a license, but it ts rezarded as only a mat- ter of a short time when such will be im- posed. An Enjoynble Trip. Mr. and Mrs. George W. King and Mr. and “Mrs. George Birch, accompanied by their son Albert, leave tomorrow for a trip to the Yellowstone Park. They will go by special train, composed of a combination smoker, dining car, sleeper, state room, par- lor ard observation cars. “The train will be the most perfectly equipped f any that has ever been run to the!pa It will ar- rive at Cinnabar on Tuesda: ptember 1, from which point the party will proceed in stages to Mammoth Hot Springs, and thence through the park. ptember 5 and 6 will be spent at the Grand Canon.

The total deaths fell in number from 176 to 103, and teh death rate for the total population accordingly from 33.15 to 19.09. ‘The improvement in the health conditions extended to most classes of disease, except the diarrhoeal.

A patert medicine show has been occupy- ing the old fair grounds at the upper end of King street for some days, giving per- formances nightly and drawing a motley crowd of reople. Complaint was made to the police about the disorderly henavior of the crowd, and last night Officer Beach stayed in the neighborhoud. The perform- ance had not proceeded very far before Robert Padgett and Craven Peyton, two white men, became engaged in a row, and they were placed under arrest. Neither of them eared to make a statement this morn- ing before the mayor, and he imposed a fine of $+ upon each of them. The Late G. Hatley Norton. The remains of the late G.

A little son of Mr. Lewis Magruder was attacked by a vicious cow on Windmill Hill yesterday afternoon and quite badly bruised. The owner of the cow was noti- fied that he must keep the animal fastened up. —_ THE SULPHUR TRUST IN ITAL Important Tariff Regulations Effect. The State Department has received a cable dispatch from Consul Caughy at Mes- sina, Italy, stating that the Italian govern- ment, beginning today, exacts one lira (19.3 cents) tax per ton on sulphur besides the present export duty of 11 lira per ton. The importance of this change to American drug interests is explained in a recent re- pert by Consul Ritter at Catania, Italy. He says the Anglo-Sicilian sulphur trast has been formed to control the sulphur market, having its center in Italy. The capital stock is $5,000,000. By an arrange- ment with the government additional du- tles were provided. The United States consumes 110,000 tons of this Sicilian sul- phur annually, and Consul Ritter says the higher rates on the crude brimstone will therefore cause great injury to the acid makers and other manufacturers of the United States. t Into o- T OF CRETE. GOVERNME: Proposals of the Powers Accepted by Turkey. The Turkish government has definitely accepted, with a few modifications, the proposals of the powers for the future gov- ernment of Crete. They are as follows: First, the nomination of a Christian gov- ernor of Crete, who shall serve for a term of five years, under a guarantee from the powers, Second, economic autonomy with payment of a tribute to the sultan. Third, the reorganization of the gen- darmie by European officers. Fourth, the independence of the judiciary of Crete by the creation of a high court at Canea. the Se Mr. Bryan to Speak at Chicago. Mr. Bryan will address the wage workers of Chicago Labor day, September 7. Ar- rangements to bring about this have been quietly making for some time past, and yesterday it became a certainty that Mr. Bryan will be in Chicago Labor day, and that the democratic managers want him to have an opportunity to speak to the thousands of working men who will be on hojiday at that time. —~ee—_______ Friendship Lodge of Good Templars, The regular meeting of Friendship Lodge, G.

THE WORLD OF SOCIETY The Francis Family Blessed With Many Sons, Pleasant Mention of Many Wash tenians at Various Resorts— Interesting Notes. There is a refreshing variety in the state- ment that the newly appointed Secretary of the Interior has five or more sons. That number at least were present when he con- cluded to accept the appointment vester- day, after a conference with Mrs. Francis. The new cabinet lady is described as hav- ing all the qualifications necessary to make a@ success of a Washington winter, such as she will enjoy as a short-term incumbent. Now, if fate is kind and her sons are un- married and fond of soctal diversions, the presence of the new family will be a most interesting feature of the last days of this administration. Mrs. Francis has had a long experience in the social matters of her home at St. Louis, and her comiag is awaited with particular interest. Vice President Stevenson, Mrs. Stevenson and Miss Steverson, Judge William M. Springer of the United States circuit court and Mrs. Springer, Rev. R. W. Springer. chaplain of the United States army, and pringer, Mr. and Mrs. A. b. of Washington, D. C., arrived in Collingwood, Ont., yesterday from Macki- nac. The party will be entertained by the civic authorities. Flags are flying on the principal buildings in town in honor of the visitors. Miss Addie Larcombe of Hynesboro’, Md., is visiting in New York. Mrs. Jacob Xander leaves today for her ccuntry place on lower Potomac to direct the furnishing of her idence, just com- pleted. She will be absent about a fort- night. Mrs. J. W.
