I nm convinced that with the adoption of theso recommendations and an earnest nnd honest ef fort to weed out of the department those of Its ofllcers and men who have obtained their posi tion through means other than merit, fitness, and faithful performance of duty, this depart ment will Ihi quickly brought up to n proper standard of efficiency nnd discipline, and tho abuses which now form the object of criticism and complaint will bn entirely eradicated.

Commissioner Murray said that It had been shown at pollco trials before tho Hoard that when a Captnln was transferred from one pre cinct to another ho would tako his ward man with him. "This ward man," said Mr. Murray, " Is the confidential collector of tho Captain. If such an evil exists it. Is the duty of the Police Hoard to remedy It ns far ns lies In their power." Mr. Murray then offered these resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: "KcmUtd, That the position of precinct de tective, commonly known ns ward man. be and thn same Is hereby abolished, and that pollco officers now filling the position of precinct de tectlve, or doing duty ns such, bo remanded to post and bo assigned to patrol duty, nnd be as signed to other precincts by the Superintendent, 'frsolrrif.

Lavrsoa'a Appeal for "Tolnatary Manserlp ttoss" Kot Meettnn Many Responses, Drrnotr, Sept. d. The appeal for financial aid recently Issued by Victor F. Lawson, President of Iho Chicago organization styling itself the "Associated Press," seems to have fallen rather flat In this region. Ho asked for "voluntary" subscriptions for the purpose of fighting the United Press, nnd the volunteers are conspic uous by their nbsenco nnd a w ant of enthusiasm generally In the direction of putting Up more money In a hopeless light that Is now being 1 waged, It Is said, to gratify the spite of John I It. Walsh of Chicago against Messrs. Dona.

Or- to the effect that the const defence vessel Monterey had a narrow I escape from going on the rocks at Capo Flattery j while steaming from Astoria to Port Townscnd. I Tho despatch told how the vessel ran within 500 feet of the rocks, how the engines were quickly 1 reversed, nnd how the vessel barely escaped de struction. The Associated Press correspondent finally 'gavonrtlstlc verisimilitude to tho bald ond unconvincing narrative' by crediting Capt. Keiuplt with the statement that the vessel had I n narrow escape. The despatch waa a baseless 1 fabrication, and has justly angered Capt. Kcmptr. Iu a private letter, dated Port Town- send, Sept. 1, the Captain writes: 1 " ' Yours received, and I hasten to say that tho ' Montcroy has never been In any danger of rocks or an) thing else since leaving San Francisco.

The engines of the ship were never backed from the time of leav ing tho Columbia Hlver until the anchor went down at Port Townscnd.

A Tote ta fte Taken on It In the Constitu tional Convention To.dse Elian Raot Deftenda tsva Article la a 1-oas; Hpeeeh. At-nANV, Sept. 0. tn tho Constitutional Con vention this morning Mr. Nichols offered a resolution that Tuesday of next week be set apart for the third reading of bills. Referred, Mr. Dickey continued his speech of last night on the apportionment article, saying that tho New York delegates should not tako ground against tho-country districts, because most of them como from the country originally. No matter what plan the Republicans proposed, the Democrats would have complained just the same. Their tnl!lon was to pulldown and de stroy, not to build up. Kx-Serntor Ve'dder offered nn nmtntmcnt embodying his plan, making no rhnngo In the present representation in the Legislature, pro viding forn flexible scheme, incrc.i'I'.g the rep rcsent.itlon by giving to each Senato district nnother Senator when it contains an nddltloiinl fraction equnl to thu rntlo secured by dlv Idlng tho whole population by .10, and enrh county another Assemblyman when ll tins an Increase uiuat to the ratio secured by dividing the w hole population by 130. Lhtlcr Mr. Vcdder's plan New York city would get an Increase, not on the basil of tho Increaso of the whole population, but on the basis of the increase In each separate district, so that, he urgui-d, the country null tho city cotihtiis would stand nn a more ov en bisis, Tho combined fractions In thu illy might bo many times the rntlo without securing any In crease, ns the fractions In the country now are. II. S. Dean, a Republican of Jamestown, at tacked that feature or the apportionment which provides for 11 leglslitivu Increase. He said that tho Republicans inuld not liopo to carry tho Stnto this fall with the proposed aptiortlonment. Mr. Maybeosnld the Convention was n failure. It had failed to give tho people relief In the mat ters !n which they hud nski d fur relief. Ho pre dicted that tho apportionment would be de feated. Mr. Woodward followed, ridiculing tho de fence which tho New York members had made from tlmo to tlmo of thu government of their city. Mr. Illako made nn extended speech, warning tho Republicans that they could never get the people to approve a partisan npisirtlonmrnt. Mr. Muntanye offered the following amend ment: The !.csr!$lsturo elected ss prnrlded In tbls Constltu tlon. shsll mis-t st theCapltut In tlieiity of Albany nu thu Hint Wednesday after the nneOInndav In January, IKUn, anil til snuunlly thereafter, and at sucn other times sathe tiovtrnnr, for good tsuse. msy esll sn extraordinary session, hen ne ahsll speiry the mat ters to be considered, snd tli business nf the session halt be limited to the matters so specified. Mr. Merencss said that tho ralnrles ot Mem bers of Assembly should lu cut down to 81,-00 11 year, soul to decrease tho additional cxpenso of tho new apportionment nnd recommend It to tho people. 'I lie farmers, he said, placed much lmsrtance on the matter of taxation, nnd the Increased expense should bo kept down as much is potslble. His amendment would keep the expense nt what it had been since 1H74. Mr. Schumnkernf Hrooklyu gave a humorous account ot the operations or the committee or which ho Is a minority member. John S.iblno Smith had como up rroni New York with an ap portionment troni which Cattaraugus had been lert out, Tho member from Cattaraugus, Mr. Lincoln, had Jumped nt this liko 11 trout at a fly, und he himself hail laughed so that ho did not go near the committee again for two weeks. The apportionment proventrd aliens who havo lie come citizens since 1H0O from being counted, and It left largo fractions In titles unrepre sented. Recess until 3 P. M. ArrciiNon.v session. At the afternoon session Mr. Srhumaker en tertained thn dolegntes with a speech lasting mora than an hour. In which he recalled many Interesting bits of his history, telling stories of prominent men In a familiar manner and put tlngeverythingtn so laughable n light that Presi dent Chnate, who sat next to hlui. and whom ho addressed In person from time to time, was con vulsedwlth laughter, nnd the rest of tbo Con ventlcn completely forgot the animosities of the apportionment. 'l he partisan spirit was quickly aroused again when Mr. tioeller had spoken, und KHhu Root, tho majority lender, rose to defend tho nppor. tloument. He said that the Democratic attack reminded him of n scene ou tho stage. It had been anticipated for weeks. Thn apportionment was honest and Just. The apportionment which now existed was confessedly the product of fraud. Some of tho delegates hud thought It would bo better not to fix thn outlines of the dis tricts, but to leave them to lie rlxeil by tbo Leg islature or some other Ixxly. In making the apportionment the Convention had hut fol lowed the Immemorial custom of tho State. Having decided to make a reapportion ment, the next question was that of retaining county lines. It had been thought best to preserve tho dlvMons with in which tlio peoplo had formed their nssccla tlons rather than change them to bo again changed by a subsequent Convention. Tho next question was tho Increase lu the number of Sen ators and Assemblymen. Tho minority should nutnnmplniu of this, because It w us for the ad vantage of the cities, since an Incuuulltvngalust them would nruo In the cities with only VM members, one -tsemblyman being given to inch county. It would insure closer relations between tho Senators and their Assemblv men and would cause better representation. Thu re numlierlng or the election districts In New York, which, had been done by the Police Department toionrcal fruudnlent voting, had caused much trouble. He nnd Mr. I.auterUu'h had had to muke a map uf their own to ar rive at any Just results. The New York apportionment hod been made upon what he supposed to be thu true principles of apportion ment, the lines of easiest communication, und of homogeneous ipnlntlon. The lines of com munication in New York weru north and south --not across. In that direction business was done nnd punple moved. A man might live ull Ids liits in New York and never get from one side of the city to the other. It hud been com plained that there are two Republican districts there. This could not be avoided. Without de liberate Intention it was not possible tn district ucltv in which iine-third or the voters nro Re publicans wlthnutgivingthem somo representa tion. There were lou.uou men in New York who voted for Harrison, with their families .Vlii.OUU persons, nud they had not a singlo rep resentative lu the Senate.

JTaccllaK with the Flcares Chairman Urookfield's Approaching Katlranasat, That energetic young man from Elmlra arrived in the rlty ytrrtsy nomine, nnd at ones? pro ceeded to stick pins In the Morton boom without appreciable effect. Mr. Kassett is inclined to quarrel with the facts which stare him In the face, and to deny their existence when he can't get rid of them any other way. 80 he denied that Mr. Morton is sure of the delegates who have been elected to vote for him whether they were instructed by the conventions which chosa them or not, and he swelled the number to bo cast for other candidates at the expense of Mr. Morton's column. Ho then asserted that the delegates chosen for candidates other than Mr. Morton ran be depended upon to combine against the strongest candidate. At least one of the men who will go before the Convention as a candidate for Governor 1 really looking for second plane. That Is Charlea T. Kaxton of Wayne, and no politician believes that he will stand a show for the nomination he 00 much desires if his friends In the Convention do not support Mr. .Morton, His delegates cannot bo dipended upon to Join any combination ngatuti .Mr. Morton. Men who understand tha situation declare that those of Hroome and, Chi'n'ingo. who are Instructed for Mayor Qreen of lllughnmton. are really Morton delegate, and that It is more than probable that thirteen of tha lourteen M. Lawrence delegates, who are In structed for Judge Hussell, will, when the tlmo comes, vote for Mr. Morton. 0 it Is even with Mr. Fnssctt's own friends In Allegany. They will cast their votes in the Convention for Kosaett, but even that young man could not get them tu combine on any other candidate against Mr. Morton. Where, then. Is asked. Is tha nucleus of tha Morton opposition ? Possibly, it Is In the thirty. eight Kriii county votes which ore to be cast for Comptroller Hoberts. Despite thu assertions of Mr. Faasett, tha Morton boom is increasing In size, and la In such a healthy condition that Mr. Thomas C. Piatt KoeMD.Nrv England nnd leaves it to care for Itself for days nt a time. The effort of tho malcontents of the Union League Club to secure the return of Dr. Depew f roin hurspv to lead n forlorn hopo against Slor ton do not seem to havo been successful. It mar lie said that all the Union League men who liavo lieen catalogued as antl-Morton do not belong In that class. Included In this number Is (Ten.
