f . , THE SUN, SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1896. B .!! i , '' j MR. FITCIHE'S DELEGATES. A melanciiolt oathebino or m kin ley boomers. Col. .Jerome Extend a an Invitation ft-nm Ilanna and lit Chief that the Itrooklyn JXhualnata On to Ht. Ionla on the McKlnley Train Promise of Free I.nnoh. The outcome of tlio MoKlnley movement, on which ex-Suuorvlnr (it largo Thomas Kitohto has been nt work night and day elnce he made his bolt In tho Stnto Convention, was tndlcntod hut night when thodolcgatc from the various Assembly district branches of tho League met In the Johnston building In Brooklyn and organized A county committee. Of the seventy fire delegates present not one of whom went through the formality of presenting his creden tlals. There were not more than Ave or six who have any solid standing In the regular organ Itatlon. Without exception they all belonged to the Wurstor-WIIlla fnrtlon. which has been routed recently by the Worth-Buttling forces. In addition to Sir. Fitchle himself, who has long been regarded as a back political number, these were tnc only men of any nromlnenco whatever In the field of practical stntosmanshlp: Senator Wrny. Assemblyman Rrcnnnn, Alderman I.elch, ex-Alderman Jahn. Kdward II. Hobbs, S. I,. Woodhouse. and Herman Wanner. Of tlio twenty-one Assembly districts four wore, un represented. At an early stage In tlio proceedings a big crayon picture of McKlnley. bearing n Iloston trade mark. Uie gift of Charles A. Moore, w as i unveiled, but. strango to say, without a ripplo of enthusiasm. Mr. Fltrhln of course was tho presiding genius of the gathering, while the vouthful Assembly man Edwnrd llrentian officiated as Secretary. When it came to the election of permanent offi cers, no one dared to dispute Mr, Fltchle's right to the Chairmanship, and lie was chosen by ac clamation. A. S. Ilalght, who made the nominating speech, declared that McKlnley's friends pro posed to stand up and 1ms counted, even though Iher might bo In a minority of one. The other officers were chosen in a nerfunetory manner, there being a contest in no Instance. They were: Assemblymnn Brennan. Secretary : Svl Yester I.. Ilrlmlev. First Vice-President: Juhn O. Turnhull. Second Vlce-I'rcsldent; Andrew Jaoobs, Treasurer. I It was proposed to have an Executive Com mittee appointed at once, so as to relievo the regular executive body from the trouble and responsibility of managing the McKlnley enn ross, but It was deemed advisable to postpone action upon this matter until after the St. I.ouls Convention had made the nominations. It seemed to dinn upon the minds of some of the delegates that there mlcht after all be a slip up In the Ilanna programme. In accepting tho Chairmanship trust Mr. Fitchle said that ho had been a McKlnley mnn ver since the Ohio leader hod shonn his fidel ity to Senator Sherman in tho Chicago Conven tion four years ago " I like this man." he said. " because he has a conviction, and knows when and where to ex press It." He deplored what he called the wabbling at titude of the Kings couuty delegates, and thanked God there would be enough votes to nominate McKlnley without their assistance. When thero was n lull in the proceesltncs Col. Tj. J. Jerome of tho New York I.eaguo was called to the platform and Introduced as "the chief counsellorof the McKlnley forces In the Btate." Col. Jerome predicted that the State Convention would undoubtedly be controlled by antl-machlno delegates. He eaten pressing In Yltatlon to Mr. Fitchle and his friends to get nn the McKlnley trnln which is to start for St. Louis on' June 13 at 0:30 A. M and is booked to arrive In St. Louis on the follow lug evening. " We are going on that day," Col. Jerome con tinued, "at the request of Mr. Hanna and Major McKlnlev. so as to get to SU Louis on Sunday night, that we may be able to show on Monday morning that the common people of the State of New York want McKlnley In spite of the delegates. " Mr. Webb has promised to give us as fine a train as ever left New York city. It will bo sidetracked at St. Louis. The fare will be from SSI to J35. with from 88 to $10 additional for sleepers. The only additional expense will be for eating and drinking, and we must not forget that the Kalnes law is not in force in St. Louis, and that the free-lunch counter Is in vogue." ' Roberts opposed in buffalo. j A Combination rnrmed to Play Slayer j Jewett Aealnat Illm. Bcttalo, Juno 6. It Is clearly the purpose ! of President George E. Mattnews of the New York State McKinley League to make the Mc Klnley campaign an antl-I'latt movement clear through to the end. Mr. Matthews went to Canton last night and saw Major McKlnley to-day. From Canton he went to confer with Banna at Cleveland. There he was Informed by telephone of some occurrences In Buffalo In his absence. Mr. Matthews printed an inter view with himself In the Erprua to-day. In which he ventured the assertion that Comp troller Roberts bod not sanctioned the move ment undertaken by his friends on Wednes t day In formulating plans for his nomination I for Governor. He had Mr. Roberta's word for It, lie said, that he would not permit himself to Le 1 nsed In that way. E. H. Butler telegraphed 1 to Mr. Roberts asking if this woe true. Mr. Roberts answered from Albany that he had not authorized any one to any that he was not m a candidate. K This wrought out the story of Mr. Roberts's :S pilgrimage to Canton. Ho went thero to see m McKlnley. He saw Hanna at Cleveland. Ho was accompanied on that Journey by Mr. Mat- n thews. Deputy Attorney -General Hnsbrouck, and John Daviea, former Chairman of the ji Oneida County Republican Committee. Mr. IV Dav tests supposed to bavu represented Senator Of CogKeshall. 8 They saw Ilanna a week ago to day, and if Mr. Roberts mada the statement In tho pros- I ence of all that he would not thermit his nnine M to be used in connection with the Govemnr- ship to further the nds of any faction or to tlr up any strife. Now. Wcnus ho does not renounce the work of Col. Morgan and tho Buw Committeemen in orepirlng his can vas, the McKlnley ti.cn c laim tlint ho Is breaking that pledge. Th"y maintain that his cndldacy will weaken Krle county, which wants to go into the Contention asking noth ing but I'latts neaii. .Mr. .vinlineK main tains that Roberta has been put forwnrel merely to attain the ends of the orgnni7ntlou and get a delegation which will oliev orders.

Of the suggestion that tho bill was a partisan measure, ho mi) s. " Tho bill as not as you say a partisan meas ure, but on tne contrar) was so non-partisan and so meritorious that Senator Grady, one of the most lo aland able representatives of the Democracy, helped to prepare and signed are port which, in the most eloquent and logical terms, urged the passage of the Consolidation bill, and senator Cantor, the penatnrial leader from Harlem, and nearly all the other ablo Tammany Democrats In the Senate publicly expressed themselves enthusiastically In Its support. The true roasons for the injudicious attempt to uefent 'Greater New York' In the Assembly, aftor It had been already favored In the Senate, are not Just now publicly known: but it may become necessary to give those facts to the public, in the Interest of Jastlce and hon est legislation."

Rose Carrara, an Italian girl, of 118 Hester street. Is only IB years old. but sho already has a record equal to that of many criminals twice her age. Hhe Is a rather pretty girl, with brown hair and sharp black eyes, and Is very strong for a child of her years. In the Sixth ward, whore she Uvon, sho Is known and feared by all the other llttlo girls. Sho has boen In many fights, and more than once persons whom sho has tried to rob havo turnod on her and beaten her soundly. In one encounter which she had her nose was broken, hut desplto all of this the police havo beon unable to keep a hold on her owing to the failure of peoplo she had victim Ired to prosecute her. On Feb. Ifi Rose entered an Elizabeth street butcher shop and sailed up to a fat man who was asking tho price of chops. Sho waited until ho laid his pockotbook down to test tho tenderness of tho meat he was about to purchase, and then grabbed It and ran out. The fat man followed, yelling at tho top of his lungs; but be couldn't make much progress, and Rose would havo es caped but for the fact that she ran straight Into tho arms of a Gerry agent who was coming along tho street. She was lugged off to Jail for this offoncc. but when her case came up for trial tho complainant didn't appear, and Rose was discharged.

Then, as she pressed on the woman's windpipe, she dug her knee In tho small of her bacK. and began bond ing her backward.

It Enables Them to no Ton Much Work, the Objrctora Hay, The bicycle craze has Invaded the ranks of the plumbers' unions, and strangely enough It Is causing dismay and protest among those knights of the soldering Iron who do not go awheel. The blke-rlding plumbers ride to their work, and thus, the objectors say, are enabled to do more work In a dav than they could do on foot- For centuries plumbers have tatccn tbe most roundabout road in going to work. In order to consume as much llmo on a Job as pos sible. In Job work the recognized custom has been to go lulsurely to tho house whero the work Is to bo done, take a look at tho surround ings, disconnect the water or gas pipes as the case may be and thenruddenly recollect that the solder or snMerlnc Irons have Peon forgotten. To go alter them consume one day. Next day something elsi Is forgotten, and by the time the household Is made utterl) wretched the plumb ers begin to do some work. Now, It Is alleged, these plumber wheelmen threaten to revolutionise all this and the unions aro alarmed. I'nlon No. 7J of Indianapolis has passed resolutions condemning the practice of going to work awheel and the resolutions wero sent yesterday to unions all orer tho country for endorsement. The resolutions call on tho unions- " Not to allow members to ride bicycles during working hours for tho reason that a man doing Job work and riding a wheel (an do as much work as three ordinary plumbers on foot." 10,000 WHEEI.3IKX 1'BOTEST.
