The Republican city primaries were
held last night. Mayor Pratt carried
the city with the exception of about
fifty delegates. W. G. Nye will be
comptroller again, and for treasurer
there is a hot fight between the pres
ent incumbent, A. C. Hougan, and
Frank E. Holton, who is paying teller
In the Northwestern bank, and presi
dent of the Tenth Ward Republican
club. He has been an active party
worker for several years and is well
thought of, but hajo not the general
support of the business men.
In the Fourth' precinct a novel way
of ascertaining the sentiment of the
voters war used. The tickets, both
city and aldermanic, contained a list
of the candidates and below them the
names of the delegates. Each voter
was instructed to mark a cross oppo
site the name of the candidate whom
he favored, and the delegation was in
structed to vote for the mah receiving
the most votes. The sentiment was
overwhelmingly for Pratt. He received
116 votes to 18 for Kelley. Hicks re
ceived the sole support of his own pre
cinct.
The primaries in the Sixth ward
| were well attended but the whole af
i fair was rather tame because there
was such unanimity of opinion
! among the voters. In the mayoralty
\ contest Pratt practically carried the
whole ward. Kelley wa • a delegate from
the Sixth district and in the Ninth
there are two sets of delegates, one
pledged to Kelley the other two to
Pratt. The Sixth ward voters
evidently want A. Swanson for
| alderman. Every district is solid
! for him except the Third dis
i trict, which sends a delegation
pledged to A. Tyren. The friends of
the latter supposed he had some fol
lowing in the ward and were very
; much surprised to see that Swanson
j had stolen a march In every district,
i However the latter seems very popu-
I lar and his name was loudly cheered
j when the result was announced in the
I various districts.
In the Eighth ward it would be some
what difficult, using the primaries as a
criterion, to tell just who is the favor
ite, either for mayor or for alderman.
Out of the 44 delegates to the city con
vention, 18 are instructed for Pratt, 14
for Kelley. and 6 for Grimshaw. This
leaves six scattering votes which will
probably be evenly divided between
Pratt and Kelley, giving the former 21
votes and the latter 17. The-siv votes
for Grimshaw are unlnstructed and
will do a power of good either way.
As near as could be figured out the
aldermanic candidates in the ward
could count on the following votes:
Powers, 13; Webster, 11; Hicks, 10;
Longbrake, 2. This leaves about 5
scattering votes thought to be favor
able to Hicks.
In the Twelfth ward primaries the
whole fight centered about the candi
dates for alderman. The contest was
especially lively in the two upper dis
tricts, the First and Fifth where John
Healey and V. W. Voorhees ran a close
race, Healey winning in the First by
a vote of 92 against 52 for Voorhees.
In the fifth the contest was so close
that recount of ballots was necessary
to ascertain the result, Healey winning
by a man-fin of three out of 123 votes
cast. In the Second, Third and Fourth
districts Alderman C. E. Dickinson had
everything his own way. In the second
and third he had about three, votes
out of every four; while in his own dis
trict, the fourth, there were no oppo
sition aldermanic tickets. Hence in
this morning's convention, Alderman
Dickinson should have nine votes to five
that were captured by John W. Healey.
Though the aldermanic contest over
shaddowed the mayoralty fight, the in
dications are that Mayor Pratt has
practically captured the ward.
FIXING A SLATE.
Representative Democrats and Pop
ulists Come Together.
Some of the representative Demo
crats, Populists and silver Republicans
have come together and decided on a
scheme for distributing the city offices
among themselves. The matter has
been quietly discussed for some time,
but yesterday the politicians came to
gether in formal meeting, and they
fixed it all up. All that is necessary
now is for the different conventions to
select the men and thei have them take
the oath of office in January I—if1 — if they
should be elected.
They settled this much. Both the
Pops and Democrats would like to have
the mayoralty, but they are willing to
compromise by giving this to the silver
Republicans, and then deviding the
rest of the spoils among themselves.
The silver Republican who is being
groomed is none other than Frank M.
Nye, and the Popo-crats intend to run
him, whether he will or not. They
evidently do not intend to ask his con
sent.
The first hitch at the conference yes
terday was over the question whether
the Democrats or Populists should have
the mayor. The Democrats claimed
that they were entitled to the place be
cause they cast such a large vote as
compared with the Populists, but the
Pops present objected to this, saying
that while the numerical strength
might be as claimed, it would not be a
good policy to put up a Democrat for
mayor, considering the many conces
sions which tha Democrats were ask
ing in the way of legislative offices of a
minor character.
Leaving the mayoralty question for
a" while, the conference took up the
matter of the city treasurer and city
comptroller. It was decided without
any objection that the Populists, in
their convention, should take their pick
of two offices. The Democrats weuld
take the office the Populists rejected.
Coming: back to the mayor again, the
conference finally decided to yield
everything and put up a silver Repub
lican for mayor. All agreed on Frank
Nye, but it was suggested that he
might object to having his name used.
This did not make any difference, for
they decided to go ahead and run him,
anyway, and today they will doubtless
get some silver Republicans after him
This matter settled, it was definitely
decided without objection that tho
Populists and the Democrats should
split even on the park and library
boards, and two Populists and one
Democrat should be nominated for the
board of education. The Populists will
be allowed two candidates for justice
of the peace, and the Democrats one.
It was agreed that when it came to
alderman the Democrats should nomi
nate their man in the First, Third
Sixth and Twelfth wards, the silver-
Republicans should have the say in the
Second, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth and
Thirteenth wards, and Populists and

Politics Prevent a Quorum at the
Council Committee on Ga>.
The opunell committee on gas tried
to meet yesterday afternoon, but poli
tics prevented a quorum, and the meet
ing was called off until Thursday. Aid.
Elliott called the attention of the other
members to the crying need of ad
ditional lighting facilities on Tenth
avenue south, from Washington to
Franklin avenues. He said a number
of hold-up episodes had taken place
on that thoroughfare, and that the
residents believed that a lack of light
ing accommodations attracted evil
doers to the street. Gas Inspector
Meed stated that travel on Tenth
avenue had greatly increased since last
year, and that the street needed more
light. It ls probable that the commit
tee will vote to recommend that ad
ditional gasoline lamps be put in on
that avenue.
A representative of the General Elec
tric company, who was present, in
formed the aldermen that the heavy
wind and rain storm of a few weeks
ago cost the company $2,500 by way of
broken globes, fallen wires, telegraph
poles and burned-out switches.
GOOK GOES TO THE G. J.
McManua Didn't Want to Prosecute
Hit* Assailant.
Tom Cook, charged with assault in the sec
ond degree upon the person of Harry Mc-
Manus, was held to the grand jury in $500
bonds after being examined in the municipal
court yesterday afternoon. The case was
called in the morning, but McManus was
not on hand, evidently wishing to have the
case dismissed. Judge Holt Insisted that Mc-
Manus' reluctance was sufficient reason for
an investigation, and continued the case until
the afternoon, when McManus was brought In
by an officer. McManus used a cane and ap
peared to limp a little but looked in the best
of health. On the witness stand he took ail
the blame upon himself and seemed afraid
that something unkind would be said against
Cook. "I went out to Spring Park to have
a little fun," he said, "and I don't know but
what I caused the trouble. Cook told me
to leave his wife alone if I wished to avoid a
row. Oh, I guess I was to blame. I didn't
get hurt much: just a little scratch."
"You must limp or you wouldn't use a
cane," said Assistant State's Attorney Beards
ley.
"Oh, I always use a cane," was the smil
ing reply, and McManus got up and stepped
easily around the room by way of a prac
tical demonstration of walking without a
limp.
Cook wasn't very vindictive either. In an
swer to a question from his attorney, A. P.
Loomis, he said: "Well, I knew there was
a rough gang out to the park and my wife
was there. I took along a twenty-two calibre
revolver just for a bluff. I thought some
one might eat me up. McManus and I got
into a little scrimmage and I fired the re
volver at the ground just to scare him, but
the bullet struck him in the leg."
In disposing of the case, Judge Holt re
marked that he believed there was something
back of the shooting more serious than either
party to the cas*? was willing to admit.
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUSES.
Preliminary Preparations for the
Other Side's Turn,
The Democratic chess board is assuming
shatpe in county politics as the date for the
primaries draws near. It was at first intended
that Edward Shumpik should make the run
for cltrk of courts, but as W. E. Gooding was
slated for the same position, it was thought
proper to alter the conditions, so the friends
of Mr. Shumpik slated him for register of
deeds. Albert Christello had expected to have
that position on the ticket, for the reason that
he ran last term and was defeated, and
should therefore, have the compliment again.
Mr. Shumpik has influential Democratic
friends who will boom his candidacy.
TO LIVE IN CATACOMBS.
Scientists Will Watch the Effect of
Darkness on Fish and Animals.
Deep in the bowels of the earth a
curious laboratory is about to be es
tablished in the Jardin dcs Plantes,
writes the Paris correspondent of the
New York Press. Under the gardens
run some old galleries of the cata
combs, which have not been opened in
100 years. The laboratory which will
be established in these galleries will
give an opportunity to study the effect
of obscurity upon animal life. Every
one has heard of the fish without eyes*
in the cave of Kentucky and other
freaks which exist in dark wells and
such places. These facts are of great
importance in studying the evolution
of man and species, but so far no re
searches upon the subject have been
carried out by scientists.
Down in the deep galleries of the
catacombs it is always pitch dark, and
fish ponds will be dug In the solid
rock and stocked with fish to study the
effect of the obscurity upon them and
their offspring. Animals will also be
kept down there for the same purpose.
A good deal of trouble and some dan
ger was experienced in opening up the
galleries, which have for so long been
closed. The temperature 200 feet be
low the surface is chill and damp, while
the gases which have accumulated in
100 years made it a ticklish undertaking
to descend. These galleries undermine
almost the whole of Paris and its en
virons, being used as catacombs and
also for growing mushrooms. Under
the Jardin dcs Plantes they have never
j been used since the stoneworkers left
them in 1779. They are very narrow
| and one has to stoop in going through
j them. In some places the roof has
fallen in, but most of the galleries are
j dug out of the solid rock and will last
j for all time. The laboratory will be
the only one of its kind in the world
I and the savants who have undertaken
the task expect that the results of th<*ir
experiments will throw new light upon
the doctrine of evolution.
BROOKLYN IS FAST.

ON BOARD THE U. S. CRUISER BROOK
LYN, BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 24.— The Brook
lyn was given a preliminary trial under
forced draught, over the official course to
day. The average speed for the round trip
of 83 knots was 20.97 knots an hour, a very
satisfactory performance. The contract calls
for a speed of 20 knots an hour in a run of
four consecutive hours. For each quarter
knot above this speed a premium of $50,000
is allowed the builders. It is believed that
on the official trial on Wednesday, a speed of
21". knots will be recorded, in which event
the ship will earn for the Cramps the hand
some bonus of $300,000.

The Removal of the Session From
Minneapolis (o Cleveland to
Be lnve-tljjated.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 24.— Mayor Mc-
Kisson, who ls a member of the Knights
of Pythias, today issued a special pro
clamation welcoming the visiting
Knights to the city and calling upon
the people to accord thefn generous
hospitality. The session of the supreme
lodge, which begins tomorrow, is like
ly to be very interesting^ The chief
question for consideration, it is said,
will be the German ritual. Interviews
with a number of supreme lodge rep
resentatives, published this afternoon,
show that opinion is pretty unanimous
in opposition to restoring the German
ritual. Supreme Keeper e-f -Records
White said: "In my opinion the Ger
mans have either got to obey the law
or get out." The general" sentiment is
that the English ritual ought to be use
in this country, where English is the
language almost universally spoken. It
Is hinted by some representatives of the
supreme lodge that the Germans are
agitating the subject now because of
their feelings over the action of the
order In refusing to permit members
to engage in the business of liquor sell
ing.
Another question which is to come up
is the incorporation of the uniform
rank. The supreme lofdge and the en
dowment rank are both incorporated,
and it is insisted that the uniform rank
ought also to be . incorporated.
PYTHIAN REPORT.
The following Is an abstract of the report
of Supreme Chancellor Walter B. Ritchie :
I feel that, In the light of business stagna
tion which has been general throughout the
world, the showing made by our order is
most remarkable. The number of members
Initiated ls proof conclusive that the subor
dinate lodges of the country are active and
earnest. We have lost some membership by
reason of legislation on the, German question,
but it is a pleasure to say that the loss thus
accrued has not been- from the better class
of Germans — they have been loyal and true.
The Catholic question has in some of the
domains materially affected us. We have lost
some for another reason. In a great many of
the domains the lodges have set ahout the
weeding out process and' are permitting mem
bers who have prove, undesirable to quietly
drop out. In addition I to' this, it may be
said, in many grand domains . the provisions
of the old constitution as to arrearages work
ing a suspension was disregarded, but ,the
mandatory provision of the supreme statutes
has resulted in the ledges complying there
with and has very materially added to the
suspensions, as there . were many members
whose names had simply been left on the
books for years after being in arrears. .
The enterprise in the erection of castle
halls, in securing elegant working properties,
In the higher regard for the membership,
have all proven of untold benefit. And I can
safely say that the order was never upon so
safe a basis as now. The receipts for the
year ending Dec. 31, 1894, were $4,020,285, and
for the year ending Dec. 31, 1895, $4,032,803,
making a total for the two years of $8.053,090 l
This shows a net gain In the cash receipts of
the subordinate lodgesef $96,842. The sub
ordinate lodge ossets. Den. 31. 1893,,- were
$7,068,054, and. Dec. 31. .1895. $8,010,711, show
ing an increase in the past two years of
$942,657. The expenditures for relief in 1894
were $1,243,678,' and in 1895. $1, 250,695; total,
$2,494:374, an incease during the past two
years of $115,000.
The number Of subordinate lodges on Dec.
31, 1893, was 5,998, and Dec. 31. 1895, 6,494, an
increase in the two years of 496. The num
ber of members Dec. 31. 1893, was 443 615;
Dec. 31, 1894, 464,539, making a net gain of
20,924. As evidence that the subordinate lodges
are at work, the number of initiates during
the years 1894 and 1895 was 103.1.2. This would
indicate what the growth of the order would
be, if it were not for that, more serious ques
tion of suspension for non-payment of dues.
During the two years ending Dec. 31, 1895,
the suspensions, practically all being for non
payment of dues, amounted to 82,444. These
figures are startling. In my Judgment the
suggestion of the payment of the master of
finance a percentage upon dues, fines and as
sessments collected would be beneficial. With
a master of finance who would have a finan->
cial Interest In the payment of the dues, the
presentation of the matter to a member
would, as a rule, result In his dues being
paid, and the removal of 'the feeling which
is ever present with a member who is in
debted to his lodge, and the saving to our
order eacn year of many thousands of mem
bers.
The growth and prosperity of the uniform
rank in the past has been far beyond the ex
pectations of the men who in the supreme
lodge in 1877 and 1878 advocated so earnestly
Its establishment. Its^gros/th is largely due
to the fostering care given it by the supreme
lodge, as well as to the effqrts that have been
so unceasingly given by those who have been
in direct control of its management and work.
The receipts from all sources were: For the
fiscal year ending March .1. 1895, $8,788.05:
ending March 31,1896,'.. $10^97.03. The reve
nues have been sufficient to meet the current
expenses. The increase m new divisions for
the two years ending March 31, 1896, has been
104. Since March 81. 1896. and up to and
including July 28, there has been received
twenty-three applications for additional di
visions, which have been approved, and these
divisions will soon be irfstttuted.
RITUAL TROUBLE.
Following the legislation of 1892 with refer
ence to the printing of the ritual in the En
glish language, a goodly number of the mem
bers of the German lodges insisted that the
question should be resubmitted to the su
preme lodge at Its convention in 1894. with
the hope that the action of the supreme
lodge In 1892 would be reversed. The action
of the supreme lodge In 1892 was affirmed by
a vote so overwhelming that I do not believe
it will come up again. Fully 95 per cent of
the foreign membership of our order prior
to the adoption of the hew ritual are loyal
today. No doubt some good men may leave
us, but, as within the knowledge of all who
have given this subject study, a very large
per cent who did not regard our tongue, our
laws and our customs, who have withdrawn
on account of the ritual, turns the apparent
loss to gain. Our order 13 better off, our
country is better off without those who care
not for its tongue, its laws and its customs.
For a month or two after the propaganda
to the effect that the sacrament should be
refused by the Catholic church to all who
retained membership In this and certain other
orders, there was much agitation. It is a
question that does not need discussion upon
our part. Our position is well defined, and
It ls a matter to be disposed of entirely by
the individual members, who belong to the
Catholic church. The result of this, no
doubt, has been a considerable loss .of mem
bership. I have found In a number of the
states where the Catholic mfmbersliip was
large, that we have bee* .lsibly affected by
reason of it. Of this* Ido pot complain. No
member of the order. Should be censured for
following the dictates "of- his own conscience,
but he should stand upon one foot or the
other. Under th's edict: itl is impossible, in
good faith, for him to st__u| upon both.
The report of R. Lf ,C_. White, supreme
keeper of records and* seals, showed that In
1864 there were 3 subordinate lodges and 78
members, and in 18%' 4.504 subordinate lodges
and 464.339 members. l rf The! state in which
the greatest gains were made were: Ohio,
3.959: Illinois. 3.317; Indiana, 2.757: lowa,
2,265: Massachusetts, 1.914; Missouri, 1,612;
North Carolina. 1,404:' Maine. 1,314; Texas,
1,219. There was a less dt 2,807 in Kansas
and 4.166 in Pennsylvania. >rThere were gains
in 38 states and territories, |and a loss in 16,
In his report, Thomas G^ Sample, supreme
master of the exchequer, congratulated the
order upon the healthy --condition of its
finances. The receipts- for'lhe biennial term
ending March 31, including a halance of
$29,059. were $183,600. and the expenditures
$147,703, leaving a balance of $35,897.
The report of Maj. Gen. James R. Carna
han, commanding the uniform rank, showed
that the revenues had been sufficient' to meet
all the expenses of the management. The
income for the biennial term was $}*.£>3*t and
the outlay $7,893. The rank has made a steady
and substantial growth. Some of the divisions
had not been able to hold together on account
of the hard times, but the new divisions or
ganized during the financial depression were
great proofs of the strong hold the rank had
upon the K^ghts of Pythias in general. War
ranis had been granted to 104 new divisions.

YORK NOW TURNS OX HIS
NOD.
HE CAN HAVE THE HONOR.
MAJORITY OF THE CONVENTION
ANXIOUS TO FORCE HIS NOMI
NATION.
SE.-.TIMENT IS NOT ALL ONE WAY.
Some ot the Delegates Will Not Per
mit a Selection Without a
Ballot.
SARATOGA, N. T., Aug. 24.— The
end of a long day of many conferences
finds a situation tonight that has
hardly been equalled In the history of
state Republican conventions. Thomas
C. Platt, for many years the leader of
the party and but once an office holder,
is besieged in so vigorous & manner
that his determination not to be a
candidate, still adhered to, ls quite
likely to be over-ridden, and the scenes
that marked the nomination of David
B. Hill in 1891 may find Republican re
petition tomorrow. On the other hand,
men, who for months have nursed gub
ernatorial booms, find those booms to
night on the verge of collapse, a col
lapse so sudden that it has paralyzed
the ambition of energetic" workers and
spread some discontent among the
rank and file.
The proposed nomination of Mr.
Platt, it is alleged, is for the purpose
of healing differences and preventing
a breach between the followers of
Aldridge and Fish, but if that is the
aim, it could hardly be successful, for
already there is friction over whom
shall be Mr. Piatt's running mate. The
friends of Mr. Platt have coupled the
name of John W. Scatcherd, of Buffalo,
with the office of lieutenant governor,
and this has given offense to the fol
lowers of Mr. Woodruff, of Brooklyn,
who thinks he would have been the
choice had the Platt boom not have
been launched. Mr. Sexton's friends
are not averse to having his name
coupled with Mr. Piatt's on the ticket,
and Mr. Sexton ls quoted as passing
enconiums upon Mr. Platt, as the logi
cal nominee of the party.
Mark Hanna, it is alleged, has
spoken very favorably of the nomina
tion of Mr. Platt. As to whether Mr.
Platt has changed his attitude from
refusal to consideration of acceptance,
he said himself tonight: "I have not
receded from my position of last night.
The pressure brought to bear upon me
today has been very great and I simply
have said that I will not give final
decision on the entire question until
tomorrow morning." By some this is
considered to mean that Mr. Platt will
reconsider and accept, but there are
others equally as positive that he will
not accept.
■ If Mr. Platt accepts he will not re
ceive either a unanimous nomination
or a nomination by acclamation. Some
members from New York have openly
asserted that they will not vote for Mr.
Platt and that will necessitate a ballot.
It is a situation full of uneasiness here
'and of great portent to the people. Mr.
Piatt's son, Frank Platt, arrived late
in the afternoon and was closeted with
his father for some time. Then he
talked with his mother over the long
distance telephone. Later he said: "I
have no idea what the decision will

The platform has been prepared and
has been read to the leaders and ap
proved by them. It is not lengthy, but
approves of the work of the last legis
lature. Of tbe Raines law it will say
it is the most effective law with regard
to the liquor traffic that has been en
acted in an American statute; has re
duced the number of saloons and taken
the saloons out of politics; turned into
the treasury more .than ten million of
dollars and benefitted the cause of
mortality. The financial utterances will
be almost like the plank in the national
platform. -' y
