A Banquet Will Be Given by the American Commissioners October 6. The joint session of the international con- ference at Quebec was very brief yesterday, but the subcommittees were hard at work all day. Arrangements are now being made for a banquet to be given by the American commission It ts likely the conferences after that THE QUEBEC rs October 6. will adjourn oon date, to meet later in Washington. ‘Attorney General Joseph Martin of Brit- ish Columbia arrived yesterday, and is urg- ing the Canadien commissioners In a very to make too great concessions to the Americans in the settle- ment of the various questions. Mr. Martin is the author of the famous Manitoba school law, which a few years ago was so bitterly opposed hy the Catholic people of the do- mi mn. Mr. Martin says the Canadians should not surrender the British national right to the seal fisheries in the Bering sca. Concerning the question, it is safe to say that it fs not regarded by the American commissioners as being of the greatest im- portance, and probably no great concessions or sacrifices on the part of the United emphatic manner YELLOW JACK’S PROGRESS.

The Meridian board of health declared quarantine against Vicksburg, pending in- Yestigation, but on affidavits from the pres- ident of the board of health and two other physicians of Vicksburg that no suspiclous cases of fever are to be found in that city, the action of the Meridian board was re. scinded and the quarantine raised. ———e No Deaths at Santiago Yesterday.

THE TICKET NOMINATED YESTERDAY Plans for Roosevelt's Campaign to Be Arranged Tomorrow Night. OTHER POLITICALNEWS The whole state ticket nominated by the New York democrats in convention at Syra- cuse yesterday is as follows: For governor—Augustus Van Wyck of Kings. For Heutenant governor—Elliott Danforth of Chenango. For secretary of state—George W. Batten of Niagara. For controller—Edward 8. Dutchess. For attorney general—Thomas. F, Conway of Clinton. For state engineer and surveyor—Martin Schenck of Rensselaer. For state treasurer—E. Wayne. After the announcement of the ticket had been made from Mr. Croker’s room, where the conference was held, news was given out that Frank Campbell of Bath had been elected sas chairman of the state commit- tee to be chosen by the convention. Campbeli is a Hill man and his se- lection is a concession to Hill, who, not- withstanding his reputed success over Cro- ker in the make-up of the committees on credentials and platform yesterday, fares rather badly on the state ticket. There are three Hill men on the ticket, Batten, Nor- riseand Danforth, but the Croker-Murphy combination has very much the best of it. After the conference it was generally con- ceded that Croker had proved himself to be the real boss of the democracy of New York state. It was said, too, that the nom- ination of Judge Van Wyck, who is a brother of Mayor, Van Wyck, would unite Tammany and the Kings County Democ- racy in closer bonds, and make the united democracy of the Greater New York the con- trolling power in state conventions for years to come. When the ticket had been announced by Croker the various candi- dates at once closed their headquarters, and they and the delegates started for Conven- tion Hall to ratify the work done in Cro- ker's room. Atwater of B. Norris of The Vote. The voting for governor was completed at 2:36, and the result, as announced, was: Van Wyck, 350; Stanchfield, 38; McGuire, 2; Titus, 41; and, on motion, the nomina- tion was made unanimous. The nominations for the remainder of the ticket were made by acclamation. At 3:30 the convention, after having adopted the star as the ballot emblem and appointing the usual committees to fill va- ancies, adjourned sine die. ‘The new state committee met at the Yates House soon after the adjournment of the convention and organized by the election of Frank Campbell of Bath as chairman, John M. Carlisle of Watertown secretary, John F. Gaynor of Syracuse treasurer, Charles R. Defreest of Troy clerk and Leonard Wager of Troy sergeant- at-arms. The Chicago platform democrats, who, in conference Wedneseday night, adopted res- olutions empowering and instructing the cymmittee on organization, composed of one member from each senate distpict in the state, to place in nomination a full ticket by petition, should the convention fail to affirm the Chicago platform, had another meeting yesterday after the result of the regular committee on resolutions’ report be- me known. Under the instructions of the conference, which require that a full ticket be nomi- rated within forty-eight hours, the commit- tee on organization will meet at the Union Square Hotel, New York city, tonight and ct a candidate for each place upon the ticket. Van Wyck's Career. Augustus Van Wyck, democratic candi- date for governor of New York, is a de- seendant of Captain Abraham Van Wyck of w York city, a soldier of the revolu- tionary war, and a brother of the present} mayor of Greater N York, Robert A. Van Wyck. H old, and is a graduate of Philips’ Academy, Exeter, N. H., and of the University of North C lina. In 1884 Augustus Van Wy to serve a term of fourte K was & n years a a judge of the Brooklyn city court. When the city court, under an act of the legis- lature, was abolished two years ago, Judge Van Wyck became ice of preme court, ond judicial district, his term will expire this year. Mr. Van Wyck has been active and prom- inant in the regular democratic ranks in Brooklyn, being a strong supporter of Hugh McLaughlin and his intimate friend. He was thrice successively president of the democratic g¢neral committee of Kings county, has been a member of the New York democratic state central committee, and frequently has been a delegate to dem- ocratic national, state and county conyen- tions. Mr. Van Wyck has been the grand mas- ter of the Zeta Psi fraternity and is a member of the New York Holland Society. He is also a member of the standing com- mittee and of the committee on canons of the Episcapo! diocese of Long Island. Mr. Van Wyck married Miss Leila Gor- den Wilkins of Richmond, Va. William the su- and Van Wyck, his son, is an assistant distriet attorney of Kings county, and his son-in- law, James W. Osborne, is assistant dis- trict attorney in New York county. Republicans’ Plan of Campaign. A general conference of prominent re- publicans will be held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel on Saturday night to arrange the formal plan of campaign. Colonel Roose- velt, Senator Platt and several other prom- inent state and local republicans ‘will be present. At Colonel Roosevelt's request it has been decided to have the committee appointed to notify him of his nomination go to his country place in Oyster Bay early next week. When the members arrive they will find all the other nominees of the republican convention gathered there, and all will receive the notification of their nomination at the same time. Colonel Roosevelt in- tends to make the occasion one of a gen- eral reunion of all the leaders in the party, and many republicans from all over the state will be invited to attend the cere- monies. Cc. H. J. Taylor Seeks Revenge. C. H. J. Taylor, the colored man who held the office of recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia under Mr. Cleveland, has apnounced at Atlanta, Ga., his pur- pose of stumping the state of New York against the candidacy of Teddy Roosevelt for the governorship. “Roosevelt,” said Mr. Taylor, “will make a strong effort to carry the colored vote of New Yerk becatse of his republican nomination. I propose to show the colored voters of this state that Mr. Roosevelt is an enemy to their race, and when he had power he allied himself with the enemies of our people. “When I held the office of recorder of deeds under Mr. Cleveland Roosevelt was a member of the civil service commission. He did his best to throw me out of office as a sop to the social fmfluences of Wash- ington city. He was not able to stand up for the rights of men, but was willing to sacrifice the colored man who happened to occupy-a position of honor. “{ shall tell this story all over the state of New York, and when that is finished I propose to take a hand in the campaign in Ohio, where I will show the colored people that the republican leaders are quite as ready to sacrifice them as could be the leaders of other parties.” During Cleve- land's first administration Taylor was min- ister to Liberia. Roads Declines Nomination. Samuel Roads, jr., of Marblehead, Mass., has finally decided not to accept the nom- ination of the democratic party for the governorship. He attended a meeting or the executive -eomunittee of the democratic denounce imperialignm, , firm the Chicago platform, and at the freedom of Cuba. The administration will be severely criticised for the conduct of the war. This afternoon sper megting will be held at the Ameri ise. At this meet- ing the leade~s will consider the other can- didates who want the nomination. yout Free Silver Teq. Much for Him. Leonard J. Hackney has withdrawn from the Indiana demotratit!' state ticket as a candidate for judg ofthe supreme court from the second distrigt.. His letter of res- ignation will be acted on by the state board of election commissioners at its next meeting. The vacancy on the ticket caused by the resignation will be filled by the democratic state committee. It has been pretty well understood that Judge Hackney hasonever been able to bring himself to an indorsement of the “16 to 1” platform of his party. Populists Go. Into Court. The middle-of-the-road populists at Jef- ferson City, Mo., yesterday applied to the supreme court for’ @) writ of mandamus against Secretary of, State Leseur to com- pel that official to place their state ticket on the official ballot for the November election. The secretary of state waived the issuance of the alternative writ and entered his appearance, He was given un- til October 11, the first. day of the term, to file his answer. The other faction of the party will now begin similar proceed- ings, both tickets having been refused by the secretary of state. ——+e+—_____ OBSTINATE SAFE LOCKS. Troubles That Come to People Who Forget the Combination. From the New O:leans Times-Democrat. Last Wednesday evening a painter work- ing in the Commercial Hotel slipped from fis ladder, ‘and in falling struck his foot against the knob of the office safe. A few moments later the clerk attempted to open the doors, but found them immovable; the blow had thrown “on* the combination. As usual in hotels, where some one is continually on duty ¢lése at hand, the outer lock was rarely used. It was last em- ployed so long ago that nobody could re- member the exact figures that governed it, and after vainly tinkering with the mechan- ism all night an expert was sent for next morning. In detective stories this individ- ual would have placed his ear against the door, turned the kno a few times, smiled enigmatically and thrown back the bolts, but, unfortunately, such things don’t real- ly happen outside the works of M. Gabor- iau. As a matter of ‘fact, five skilled me- chanics took turas at'trying for some thir- ty hours, and yesterday the makers were telegraphed to for the cipher. The “sticking”: of ‘Safe doors, as it is calle? colloquially, ,19 something that oc- curs now and then if every city, and the most common cause ts the sudden death of the man possessing the combination. Some cautious merchant tumbles over with heart disease or apoplexy, and his safe is found locked as tight as}$@vum. Thin has hap- pened more than onge in New Orleans, and in such cases theres only one thing to do. A hole is drilled through: the door, so as to give access to the snechamism, and the lock is then picked with awire. As burglars ofteh’ oy the same pro- cess, it may be interésting to explain just how it is done. bination lock con- sists of a series of disks or “tumblers,” each having a slope phe edge, and when these slots are brought into alignment a bar slides through’ dird™ operates the bolts. By means of @ hodked Wire it i: compara- tively easy for ap, rt to revolve the disks until the slots are all in their correct positions, and that; Ina nutshell, is the whole tplek. 42 ae ‘The widely prevalent idea that « combina- tion lock may be /opénid “by ear” is: ab- surd, and the safé@ sharp who pretends to do it resorts to an_ingenjous metgod, called “baoking up.” Hetapproaches a safe, when the combination fe’ “off," and by quietly turning the knob bagkward .can tell, by a slight obstrucflpn, ;when the first number is reached. The second is “picked up” the same way, and so on until the cipher is in his possession, when he boldly announces that he can open the doors whenever he wants to. Many a man has been hood- winked into believing a good lock worthless by this simple dodge. Sudden death, is b; no Means responsible for ali the lock-outs. Sometimes one of those strange mental seissions, m which the overt brain itself slips a cog, causes a busy man to forget for the time being one or more of the numbers. He may have cpened the safe every morning for years and believed the combination to be as amillar as the face of his wife, but it has slipped away into the mysterious regions of oblivion, and the harder he thinks the less apt he is to recall it. Some years ago a New Orleans merchant suddenly forgot the second number of his combination. He was in great distress, for he feared a mental breakdown, and, strange to say, he had the missing number asso- ciated in some manner with the idea of stopping or pausing. “It has something to do with standing still,” he repeated OV¥er and over again to the baffled experts. At last he jumped up with a triumphant whoop. “I have it!” he yelled. “It's twenty- eight; don’t you see, two-elght, to wait? I knew, it had something to do with stop- ping.”” One of the most remarkable lock-outs on record occurred in 1892 in a small town in this state. A general merchant had what was known as a screw door safe, with a time lock, which got out of order. This style of safe is in principle much like the breech of a modern cannon. The door fs circular and screws in, after which an au- tomatic contrivance throws the bolts, which are released at a given hour by interior clockwork. The expert sent for in this particular case made the necessary repairs, but forgot to replace a small bar connect- ing the clock and the lock. Consequently when he closed the door the bolts flew into position and there was no way in the world to get them back. The safe contained a quantity of cur- rency, several fine watches and a lot of dia- mond jewelry, and the owner was wild to have it opened. Then began a battle royal. ‘The first scheme of the experts was to bolt a Jong tron bar to the door and then raise the safe by a tackle and let it drop. The theory was that the jar might cause the bolts to fly back long enough to en- able the leverage pressure of the bar to start the screw. This was tried at least a hundred times, but without success. They then determined to break down the door itself. It was composed of many plates of steel held together by a series of smail bolts. A beam twenty-five feet long was swung from a derrick like a battering ram, and hurled end-on against the front of the safe. Shifts of darkies were engaged to relieve each other ‘at fixed hours, and the blows were timed regularly, two to the minute. It was believed that ‘a vibration could thus be set & that would eventually jar out the bolts, and, fmeredible as it may seem, the assault ggntinued unceasing- ly three days and nights. The blows rever- berated through thé little town like salvos of artillery, and the whole country around turned out to seerthe fun. Sleep was im- possible, and’ one ge rated resident had ectually applied for,an fnjunction when the plates at last spi inder. The interior waslw-wreck. ‘The watches had been literally torn to pieces; the dia- monds were foung. weenched from their settings and the clirren¢y reduced to rags by abrasion from™iyifig’ particles. It had to be sent to the treasury for redemption. A rare, but not upkgogin, cause for a lock- out is when some ; employe decamps. with not only the Conténts of the safe, but also Its combinatiof.*Not long ago an ab- sconder from a sister state made the dis- closure of such information one of the con- ditions of a compromise. In that case the safe waa unusually valuable, and its owners objected to having it drilled. ‘When an expert is called in by a business man who finds himself unable to open his safe, he tries the plan, to begin with, of re- versing the numbers given him. [t not in- frequently happens that the owner has ac- cidentally rearranged them in his mind, and in nine cases out of ten that-proves to be the fact. The forgetful man is always ready to take oath that he has made no mistake until it is demonstrated before his eyes that he has. Then he scratches his head, looks thoughtful and wonders wheth- er it isn’t about time for him to take a short vacation. z It is said that the sales of looking glasses in the United States amount to about $8,- 000,000 a year, and that the industry gives employment to mcre than 2,000 persons— not Including, of courge, those who use the mirrors, x Alleged Charge That Croker is Man- ipulating the Tieket—The Political Situation in New York State. From the New York Tribune, Today. Rumors flew thick and fast among Brook- lyn democrats last night to the effect that Richard Croker and his friends would have hard work to hold Justice Van Wyck on the ticket, and this rumor was backed up by the following story of what is alleged to have taken place in the justice's private rcom in the court kouse yesterday after- neon as soon es he was informed by his political friends that it was surely a fact that he was nominated. The justice, it is said, was angry, and could hardly believe that he had been nominated. “I don’t want this nomination,” he is re- ported to have sald with vehemence, “and I won't take it. What right had they to put me on that ticket without consulting me fully about it beforehand? ‘This is sim- ply a scheme of Croker’s to place another man in my place, knowing that I will not ren. As soon as I am off the ticket Croker will get his friends together ang put up a man of their own.” x Outlook is Not Rosy. It is said that the justice was all wrought up over the nominaticn. As a candidate in the second judicial district he thinks he would have an even chance of succeeding himself as a supreme court justice, with a good salary an@ a long term. The po- litical outlook is rot rosy enough for him or any one else to believe that he will be the next governor, and that is what gives rise to the talk in Brooklyn about his re- signing the nomination. The justice spent the greater part of yesterday in Manhat- tan with his brother, the mayor, and it was reported that the mayor did’ not en- courage him to take the doubtful honor of @ nomination for governor this fall. Charles A. Hess, who is a lawyer and the leader of the republican organization in the twenty-fifth assembly district, and a newly elected member of the republican state committee, said at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night: “The moment Justice Van Wyck accepts a nomination for governor his office as jus- tice of the supreme court becomes vacant by law, and Governor Black can appoint a successor to serve for a year or more.” Bryanites Will Bolt. A special last night from Syracuse, N. Y., says: Unless there is a decided change in the next twenty-four hours in the sentiment prevailing among the siiver democrats here this evening, a complete state ticket will be placed in nomination at a meeting to be held at the Union Square Hotel, in New York, tomorrow night. Soon after today’s convention the leading _ sil- verites got together and canvassed the situation. Some of them were inclined to indorse some of the democratic state candidates, but the opinion of those favoring a full independent ticket finally prevailed. Tomorrow's meeting will be at- tended by the members of the Chicago platform democracy's committee on perma- nent organization—one from each senate district—to whom, by a resolution adopted at the meeting held here on Wednesday night, was intrusted the work of placing a ticket in the field. There are several men who would like to head the ticket. Oly Snyder of Buffalo is one. Calvin E. Keach is another. Henry M. McDonald of New York had been prom- inently mentioned in connection with the nomination, but this"evening he announced decisively .to the Tribune correspondent that he would not accept a nomination for any place on the ticket under any condi- tion. “You may say for me that I am not a candidate,” he said, ‘and could not be in- duced to become one. Asked what he thought of the candidates nominated teday, he replied that he con- sidered the ticket as a whole decidedly weak. “The Van Wycks are getting on, though,” he added. “Robert is mayor of New York, and now the judge !s going to become gov- ernor of the state.” Suffer a Setback. The movement set on foot largely by the Citizens’ Union to put im nomination an in- dependent stite ticket received two distinct setbacks ye: One was the announce- ment that the political council of the City Club had uaanimously decided on Tuesday evening not to enter state politics by in- dorsing the independent movement. The second discouragement came in the form of a letter addressed by Charles Stewart Smith, William B. Hornblower, Jobn B. Pine, Hdward A. Drake, George Tomble- son, John C. Clark, James Loeb, Richard Watson Gilder and William M. Kingsley to the central city committee of the Citizens’ Union deploring the participation of tha Citizens’ Union in state polities, and de- claring such action inconsistent with the principles upon which the organization was formed. This letter, coming as it does from men who were largely instrumental in forming the Citizens’ Union and who were so active in its work during the last mu- nicipal campaign, Is likely to have a far- reaching influence. The subcommittee empowered by the Cit- izens’ Union nominating committee at its meeting at Albany last Monday to make neminations to complete the independent state ticket held a meeting yesterday after- noon at No. 42 East 23d street. Paul Fuller presided. At the close of the meeting it was said that no nominations had been de- cided upon, and that the meeting had mere- ly discussed the details of campaign work. It was said that the petitions already se- cured would be abandoned owing to the declination of Col. Roosevelt to accept the romination, and that new ones would be se- cured. It is known, however, that the name of the man to be nominated for governor is practically decided upon. Isaac H. Klein admitted that Thomas M. Osborne of Au- burn had been menticned for the place as often as anybody, and it is believed that he will be nominated. On the original ticket Mr. Osborne was slated for nomination for lieutenant yovernor, and his promotion to the first place makes it needful to choose another candidate for second place. It is believed that Theodore Bacon of Rochester will be named. Mr. Bacon was to be nom- inated as an independent candidate for mayor of Rochester. The talk created by the proposition to lend the emblem of the Citizens’ Union to the independent ticket has caused the pro- posal to call the independent organization by some different name. The citizens’ state party is the name best liked, and if the in- dependent ticket goes to the voters it will probably be under that name. It was said yesterday that the nominations to fill the vacancies on the independent ticket will probably not be announced until October = which is the last day allowed under the aw. It is significant that Col. George P. War- ing, who is president of the City Club and a member of its political committee which had decided that the club shall not indorse the independent raovement, appeared on the nomination petitions circulated by the Citizens’ Union as a candidate for state en- gineer and surveyor. — BISHOP TURNS TRAMP. Rev. Leighton Coleman’s Unique An- nual Outing Has Ended. Bishop Leighton Coleman of the Episco- pal diocese of Delaware has just returned from his annual outing. The custom of the bishop for years has been to make an an- nual tramp incognito, and many amusing incidents are related by him. On his last trip he traveled 235 miles through the mountains of Maryland and ‘West Virginia. He crossed the Blue Ridge mountains several times. He was attired in a long mackintosh, slouch hat and. heavy walking shoes, and carried a cane, ce =e a lodging could not be secured at farm houses he slept in barns, sheep sheds and_school houses. Bishop Leighton is sixty years old, and the longest distance traveled by him in one day on his recent unique outing was twenty-six miles. re eeeEeeeeee eer Seeereer ree SEEN T TTT eS E ST TrsSs I Q-: : {ase committee ET er House |VAN WYCK MAY NOT RUN{{= Rea . ¥ d: fi 4 brief adar : SSS a = 3 Cash only and the narrowest margin of profit.

The declaration of independence was rati- fied at Malolos yesterday amid great fes- uvities. A review of the troops was held, speeches were delivered. and recitations. The feature of the ceremonies was the ad- dress of Aguinaldo. Many foreigners at- tended the state ball, which was given in the eveniag, but no American officials were 51 i. < wt that the insur- dvices from Iloilo repo: a - ae in the Philippines is increasing con- siderabiy.
