QRANT'S SAILING DELATED.
TROOP SHIP WILL PASS OUT AT SANDY
HOOK THIS MORNING.
OENERAL GRANTS TOMI 8ALUTED-OFFI
CER8 AND COIHiniUlMllI IN8PBCT
THE VES8EL.
The programme arrar.ged for the salltng of the
transport Grant yesterday v us not rarried out
ln full on sohedule tlme. The Grant is the flrst
transport to loave this port for tlie PhUlpplnes.
arl she ls also the first of tha new model troop
shlps to be fltted out by the Oovernment for the
u#e of soldiers trave'.llng to anc. from the terrl
tOTJ reeently taken from Spaln.
The orlglnal plan waa for the transport to sall
up the North River at ln O'elock yoatarday
mornlng as far as Grants tnmn. and returnlng
pass oat to aca on bcr VoyagC "' fOTty days by
way of the Suez Canal. The flrst obetaclo in
the way was the fact that when the Grant lefl
the rler at Paclflc-st., Brooklyn, on Ttiesday
e\cnlng, ready to take an anchorage off Llberty
Island, where members of the Senate and House
Military committees. with several Army officers.
were to lnspect her, one of her propellert. fouled
a steel cable. twlstlng lt around the propellor
shaft. It was neeessary to send several divers
down to remove the pleoo of cable.
Another reason for delay was the fact that a
number of addltlonal eupplles were needed on
the transport. and they were not placed on
board untll late yesterday afternoon. The party
of offlcials from "Washlngton vislted the trans?
port eariy yesterday mornlng. accordlng to tho
orlglnal arrangcments. and thoroughly inspected
the veasel, being highly pleased with the ar
rangements made for the comfort of the soldiers
on thelr long voyage.
The veasel did not start up the North Rlver
? rant's tomb at the tlme orlglnally ar
raBgadj, much tO the dlsappolntment of many
? who had assembled at the tomb and
along the North Rlver front to see her start.
The loading of the transport and the repnlrs
BQUBBBIJ were completed at .r? o'elock last even
ir.g, and then she at once welghed anchor and
r-tarted up the rlver.
ORANT8 TOMR SALUTED.
Accompanled by the quartermaster'g boat, the
General Meigs. the Grant arrlved oppoaite the
tomb a little before C o'elock. It was dark when
the shlp arrlved opposlte the tomb. A salute of
twenty-one guns was fired in honor of the dead
hero. As the salute was fired the hand of the
4th Infantry played "The Star Spangled Ban
ner" In acknowledgment. The Grant then pro
ce^ded down the rlver.
Early thls mornlng the Grant wlll start on her
trlp to Manlla. and as she j>assee out of the
harbor a salute of seventeen guns will be fired
by the forts ln honor of Major-General Lawton,
who ls ln comrnand of the expeditlon, which
coaafcftg of the 4th Infantry and a battalion of
the 17th Infantry.
The party of Army offlcials and membera of
fhe Senate and House committees on Military
Affalrs. which left Washlngton at mldnlght, ar?
rlved at the Pennsylvanla staiion, Jersey City,
at t>:40 o'elock yesterday mornlng. They occu

INSI'ECTING THE TRANSPORT.
At 9 o'elock the General M< Iga Bt< 'imed down
the Bay and soon ran along?:de the Unlted
Statea transport orant. which lay at anchor
near the etatue of Llberty. The hig.vessel was
decorated with bunting. and her deck.s were
crowded with the aoldlera of the 4th ar.d 17th
Infantry. As BOOU as the Mrigs waa made fast
alongside the transport the gangway of the lat
ter was lowarad to the rail of the Meigs, and
the vtaltori went on board the trar.sport, where
they were recelved by General Lawton.
The party was conducted throu^h the ves.se]
and the Quarters of the soldiers W| r? elosely

dation of the men, and when the party reached
the deck again the Senator ezpreaacd himstlf
as highly satlsfled with the arrangements.
A',1 tlie other ? laltora were equally w. 11
pleased, and the unanlmous oplnion was that
the accommodaiions were exoelhnt, and no flner
or better appointed transport than the Grant
eould be desired.
There are 1,812 beda fitted up. slxty of which
are in the hospltal. The BOn?commiaaloncd olfl

The Whkehall boatmen did a ??land-offlce??

taklng out hdateel seddiera to the transport.
The men had rpceived (i few hours' furlnugh,
and then ml-.-ed the transport a? she left the
BrooMya plcr. As a result th*y were willing tn
pay almost any prlce in order to get abnard the
vessel. Theee m?n, aa well as the friends of
soldicrs who were already on hoard. serv.d tO
boom the market for Battery boats. and as a re?
sult the boatmen ,tOOk ad\antage of the bull
market. and prlcea went up in a way to surprlse
thoee Who know the regular ratrs, and inst^nd
of the customary $1 the boatmen ask^d, "How
much have you got?" and lf the unsusppctlng
I- raon adndt'ed that he was the pospessor of a
flve-dollar blll, that amount was at once taken
as a fee.
Probabljr . I.ieut-nant J H. Huches. of the
4th Infaiitry, on one of these i.redatory craft,
was the most heartiiy srreeted arrlval on
board the Grant. Lleutenaat Hughea waa

wounded ln both Iprs and In the rlght foot.
He was sent to a hcspital for treatment. and
has not yet recovercd fmm the effects of his
wounda. The aurgeoaa advlaed him not to join
hla reglment and take the !< np trlp tO the Phll'p
plnce, btit he deciled he wanted to be wlth his
comrades, and yesterday he hlred a boat and
went out to the tranaport.
When the soldlers of the reglment aaw him
llmplng up the gangway they dlsregatdpd all
mllitary regulatlons as to disclpllne and sent up
cheer after cheer for him aa he reported to his

CHIEF CAUSE OF THE DELAY.
Whlle the entangling of a cabln In the propellor
, of the Orant oaueed BOflM delay. it was aald at the
Breoklyn pier yesterday that the chief dclay was
ceused by the dlscovery that eertaln requlsltlons
for supplles had not been properly filied. and that
more employea were needed. The dlscovery was
\ mnde by the offlcers in charjre that there were
? not enoufch walters Bboard. Among the addltlonal
aup] llea were some for .-nKlncerlng outflttlngs and
"eatra" plumbera' eriuiprr.ent.
Captaln Maaon, the offlccr in charge of loadlnf?
the Oovernment tranaporta at Pier No. 22, ln
Brooklyn, sald that th<re had been rather too much
hfistp ln loadinc the Gtant.
"I hope," was the way he put It. "that more tlme
wlll be allowed for loadin* the tranaport S'ierman
than was allowed for getting the Grant rc-ady to
snil " _ ,
The Sherman is a alatar ahlp ?o the Grant, and
i was formerlv the Moblle. The vossel was taken
out of drydock at Erle Baaln several days ago. and
i wlll bepln loadtng at Pier No. ^ ln about a week,
lt was snid yesterday . _...
Tho Sherman wlll pmbably take to the Phlllp

COT'VTRT BLBCTIONS.
Albany. jan is (gpeelaD-Benator Elon R BrowB.
of vPatertown, a year ago vataly andeavored to
persuade hls Repuhllran eolleacues In the Benate
to make the Primnrv Refortn law apply to rural
diatrlcta and thlrd-class eitles. Two ohjectlons
were made, however, to hls propoaaL one waa
thnt palltlcal corruptlon was not as prcat In rural
communltle.. and In the smaller cities as In the first
and eecond elaaa dtlaa; and, aaeondly, it wai
that the th.rd-ciass dtlea and country towna dld
not care to adrmt the coatty machlnery mqutfed to
carry out the law.
Benator Brown belleraa that reform of the prl
aaarlea is fual as neeeaeary m the rmallcr
and towns as !n the large dtJea bul he hellevea a
law can be drawn whlch wlll be an effeetlve meas
ore aad rei whlch wlll not graatly Increaae the
preaent COat Of holdlng prlmarles. He lntr
such a Mll to-day. The preaent law affects the clt
tes of New-York. BuffalO, Troy. Albany. Syracuse,
Roeheater and Utica. Benator Brown's blll toucbea
all the State otitslde of these cltles.
In order to dlmlnlsh the expense of the prlmary
ayatam, he does not adopl the Aistrallan ballot
svstem. The great source of corraptlon at rural
prlmarles la the lack of personal resistratlon of
voters. The new prlmary act wll! force voters to
regiatar thelr names to socure thr right to partld
B prlmarl.s. Thus there wlll be a otaeelfl
of Damocrita and Republlcana. Benator
Brown stated to-day that ot.e Of the chlef diffl
eultles of keeplng the rural prlmarles pure when
there was a warm cc; i the fact that cor
taln voters aecmed to fnthk themaolvea fraa to acl
either as Democrau or as Republlcana nnd awear
ln thelr votea Wherbver lt was the most profltablo
for them to do so.
lor Brown'a blll provlde* that in electlon
