The commotion ua over the nomination by
the I'nlted Democracy of Charles Krcdorlo

Chief Judgo of ue Court of Appeal. rho
nomination of Mr. Adann was fllod with Soo
ret.iry of btato l'almer In Albany Just before
BililnUlil on Thursday. Tho potltlon by which
Jlr. Adaui9 naa nominated was signed by
nearly 8.000 lotcrs. The committee having
cliurRO of tho nomination o' Mr. Adams was
ltobert Stewart, Francis M. lilxby, David
Lloyd. Henry Nichols, nnd WlnUeld 3. Over
ton representing tho Unitod Democracy. The
poiiiuntlou of .Mr. Adams was In every way

II'IL his friends said, was Rrcatly disturbed
over it. shmiib of tbuse who attended the con
fervniK to!d.!a!Sr.l man in the afternoon that
Mr. Adams hud resigned and declined to bo
tho candidate of the United Dcmocrncy. Others
denied the report. Still others wild that Mr.
Adams's resignation was now on Its wuy to
Secretary of state Palmer. Members of the
committee of the 1'nltcd Democracy bavin
charge of Mr. Adams's nomination denied that
bo had resigned, but addid that even if he hud
the committee, under tho Election law, was em
powered to till any vacanej caused by dcclina
(ion, death, or an Insufficient or inoperative
certificate of nomination. The committee un
der the Election law, has, however, no power
to substitute the name of a candldalo nominated
by another party.
Ex-cnator Hill s friends said last night that
; he had had stenographers at work all day in
f Secretary of State Palmer's office in Albany
onkinrf over tho signatures of Uio 8,000 men
who petitioned for tho nomination of Mr.
Adams. Only 0,000 names are required to
i such a petition. DO names for each county and
8,000 names at large. Ex-Senator Hill's friends
went on to say that.he nnd Justice. Parker havo
had friends In Henry Guorge'scamp with lnstruc-
i -v tions to bring about tho indorsement of Judgo
ls&i Parker. Personal friends of Judge Parker
a have given up their whole time to bring about
f 1 this Indorsement. All efforts failed. Kx-Scn-
g ator Hill's friends said that bo was greatly
'. H disappointed over the result, and that He pro
L " posed to bring the petition on which Mr.
? 1 Adams was nominated into the courts.
j 1 Chairman Danforth said last night that It
I was not Mr. Hill's intention to make any
. I speeches in the campaign for Judge Parker.
t f Mr. Hill will remain quiescent as far as speech-
J making Is concerned, but bo will continue to
-; pull all the strings he possibly can in favor of
JT Judge Parker. Senator Edward Murphr, Jr.,
w , bis friends Bald, had advised Mr. Hill to re
al main in the background as much as possible
IPB- for a year or so tuoro. It appears that the
KV Democrats not only in the great cities, but In
VA) the i ountry districts are still milled over Mr.
fiA lull's attitude during the national campaign a
f tf v year ago, and so Senator Murphy's friends be
lt " if lleve that It Is a good time for Mr. Hill to keep
I;- quiet. For that matter, many of Mr. Hill's old
I. )J friends havo agreed entirely with Senator Mur
Is f phy's suggestions in this matter.

. I Pmsutmo, Pa, Oct. s. The expression mUt-
k log wages " Is one which was heard frequently
'J In relation to the miners' strike recently closed.
Just what It means nobody appears to have do-
, ,f fined definitely, but the opinion prevails among
i j the miners that It refers to the price per ton
J ) which they receive for their work. Machine
i mining has been a potent factor in reducing the
cemnensatlon of worklngmcn of this class to a
Jv point below what they term living wages."
i And yet tho view pro vails to some extent among
mine owners that the Introduction of machinery
, Into tbo mining of coal has only Just commenced.
According to statements made frequently by
i leading operators there are now 40 percent, too
many miners for the coal consumption of the
' country, and It is held if the mechanical de-
, Yclooment which Is expected comes to pass, the
, demand can be supplied by one-fourth or fewer
4 of the laborers who are now seeking to live from
3 this poorly paid occupation. Unless one p&rtlo-
t ular operator mistakes vastly In his calcula-
I Hon, the majority of the miners will bo obliged
i, l5 to seek other means of livelihood in spite of the
It '? fact that increased coal consumption will give
t 4 them a great deal more work than they have
i I had during the last two or three years. Ho said:
Tj "It Isnot that the price per ton paid for mining
, f I coal Is too small which makes It difficult for the
l miners to get a living. A considerably higher
) price might be paid without greatly improving
J ' their condition, for the reason that there are
jijff- too many mines, too many miners, and too much
Kt Tj. coal mined by machinery. And much as these
Yj, condition have operated to the injury of the
, tr miner in tho post, he Is going to feel a blow
At 1 within the next few years compared with
Ml ' I "hkh all those he has received will ap-
llr I pear Insignificant. The machinery which
BJ; f has bo far been introduced Into the
. fl mines has been restricted to that which
(I Would tako tho place of the pick. Hi luminous
I" coal Is mined by cutting under It and blowing it
H looe witu tioler. tor some time a conslder-
able purl of this work of undermining has been
done by machines, one of which whin handled
n $ h nskiltulinan will do as much work as two
I) f or three working men with their picks cOultt
. accomplish. Until within the lust j ear these
I machines were operated with compressed air,
I but lutely It has been found practicable to use
I . electricity In their operation and to Increase
I f their usefulness. This will remit In the dls
E f pUccuit.nl of an Increased number of men, and
. uub already maae II practicable to decrease tho
I lrttf cost of coal.

IlAMDuno, Oct. 8. To-day's session of ths So
cial Demooratlo Congress was devoted to ths
question of partaking ln the elections
for the Prussian Diet. The resolution offored
by August Debel on Wodneaday, In addition
to favoring the participation of tho Social
Democrats In the elections, formulatod va
rious contingent proposals, one being to
tho effect that It It was impossible to
send Social Democratic representatives
to tho electoral colleges tho party
should support the representatives of opposition
partlos who were propared to pledge themselves
to support universal suffrngo In Prussia as It
exists In tho empire.
Wllhelm lilobknecht In a one-hour speech con
demned any coalition with other parties. Ho
contended that the Liberal parties wcrs more
dangorous than tho Agrarians.
Ilebel reproached Llebknecht for his attitude,
and Insisted that the Social Democrats should
combat tho Agrarians to tho utmost, at all

London. Oct. 8. The Engineers' Union, whose
members are now on 'strike, has Issued a mani
festo which reveals the tact that Its struggle
with the employers has reached the most mo
montous crisis in the history of trades unionism
ln England. The employers maintain the nosl
tion announced by them a week ago, refusing to
meet the strikers ln conference and declining to
depart in the slightest degree from the stand
they havo taken until the men return to work
unconditionally.
The manifesto roundly'dencunces the employ
ers' rejection of the overtures of the strikers.
Their insistence upon the absolute submission
of the workmen to their terms, the pronounce
ment declares, means their intention to crush
tho entire organization of trados unionism In
the country.
' Wo appeal to our fellow trades unionists
fencrally, thenianlfc-stocontlnucH, "toansner
ho challenge of the federated employers. The
Engineers' Sodoty has sustained its struggle
aiouo until the present time, but financial aid is
now .niporatlvely necessary."
The inanifejio thcnimkes in appeal to the
public to subscribe funds, tn tho end of check
mating Ihe arbitrary domination of the Em
ployers' Federation. It denies that the Engi
neers' Union has made any unjustifiable de
mands. It Is lighting the battle of all who think
that trades uuions aro essential, it says, and it
declares that tho men intend to go on ns they
have gone to the ijui-.li. Tho circular c.nnnot
say what tho finish will be, unless largo and
lmmediaio outside subscriptions are forthcom
ing, but tho tearful rhetoric of many passages
shows that the engineers are aware that they
are on the edge of the last dlfh.
The public are getting Impatient at tho abso
lute cessation of shipbuilding, in accordanrn
with the naval programme, and at tho dally
spectacle of contracts bcin; sent abroad, but
the fact that several flrnis of high reputation
have tried tho eight-hour plan and founit that
they could not continue It has convinced most
persons that the Employers' Federation is light
ing a just fight.
The deadlock Is such that a strike throughout
ths shipbuilding yards of the country next week
Is probable. It would involve 'J50.000 men.

BEIUJX, Oct. 8. The Berlin newspapers of
this evening publish a report of an Interpella
tion introduced ln the Bavarian Chamber of
Deputies regarding the recent military manoeu
vres. Uerr Schaodler, who offered the Interpel
lation, made a formidable Indictment against
tho Government, and directed particular atten
tion to the many cases of Illness and accident to
Bavarian soldiers during the manoeuvres. Ho
declared his objection to the German Emperor's
leading Bavarian troops, except ln case of war,
and protested against the Emperor's frequent
use of the words " my army," as applied to Ba
varians. Baron Asch, Minister of War, replied that
there were only 2,050 cases of illness and acci
dent to Bavarian troops during tho inncnuvrcs,
and of tnese only 627 were sufficiently serious
to be hospital cases. There hnd been but two
cases of suicide. The action of the Emperor, be
said, had the full approval of the Bavarian
authorities.

Boston, Oct. 8. An up-to-date Boston girl,
with a limited Income and unlimited ambition
as to dress, learned a little trlclc the other day
that Is worth knowing. The swell girls of the
Back Bay are. all wearing owls and English
pheasants on their hats this fall wings In one
place, head and eyes ln another, and ths tall
feathers put on whererer thore Is room. Of
coursn, ths hats are homely, but they are the
proper thing and the price Is high.
Tho girl referred to made up her mind to have
an owl hat, and started on a tour of the uptown

The export accountants employed by Comp
troller Fitch to examine Into tho records and
accounts of the borough of Brooklyn havo dis
covered what tho Comptroller terms "a very
sorlous and startling condition of affairs." The
accountants' report says:
"That records of Flatlands, rintbush, Now
Lots, Now Utrecht, and QravcBeiid, which tho
oftlcinls of those towns stnto were turnod over
to tho Comptroller and Corporation Counsel of
Brooklyn, cannot he found, having somewhat
mysteriously disappeared; and lhnt tho ahsenco
of such records luterfe?es materially with a
proper Investigation,
"That thore tiro disagreements between the
books of tho Comptroller of Brooklyn nnd thoso
of tho Itcglstrar of Arrears; that in tho depart
ment of arrears there is tho utmost confusion
In tho rocords; tlutt tho ledgers, somo 225 tn
numbor, containing over 200,000 accounts, are
not In bnlnnco and npparontly have nover been
balanced; that, while on Jan. 1, 1807, tho lial
anco to tho debit of the Ilcglstrnr of Arrears on
tho books of tho Comptroller was $9,416,128.70,
tho balanco carried by ths Itegislrur of Arrears
ns representing taxes nnd assessments tn nr
roara was $3,714,828,051 that, whllo tho gen
eral Icdgor shows that arrears of taxes prior to
181)3 have been overpaid $17,253.40, the ward
ledgers disclose many Items of unpaid taxes;
tbnt serious dovclopmonU may result from tho
further Investigations of tho ward ledgers,
which will occupy much tlmo before tho exact
condition of affairs can bo fully nnd delliiltoly
ascertained.
"That tho records In tho Comptroller s ofllco
show tho following facts In connection with thu
fernianont water loan. On pago 1 of tho ledger
ho account Is charged with various issues to
dntoand credited with bonds cancelled and dis
charged; that tho balnnto of the pornmnont
water loan, as taken from tho loiigcr of tho
bond department, ngreus with the balance of
said loan In tho Comptroller's olllec, notwith
standing that tho account on its fnee, us set forth
In tho bond department ledger, ludicalos
that more bonds havo been rcdcoinod
than were Issued to tho extont of
$5,000; that an examination of tho bond
roglslor discloses that two bonds of $1,000 each,
of ouu Issue, weruprosonted for payment; that
the clerk changed tho number on one to 173,
and that subsequently both of tho bonds wero
cancelled and two registered bonds, each for a
llko amount, woru Issued ln their place.
"That many of tho records of the County
Treasurer's olllco for tho period prior to 1895
are missing, and such as have been found aro of
practically little value as records. Tho Icdgor
of tho County Treasurer shows a shortnge in
tho accounts of II. II. Adams. County Treas
urer, of $83,138.01.
"That there Is an apparent deficit In the ac
count of tho Supervisor of Now Utrecht of sumo
f 0,1181. 37. bonds buving on Sept. 20, 1802, been
sold for which the purchasers p lid in two
checks tho aggregate sum of $10,083.17, while
the Supervisor, to whoso order thn checks were
drawn, tins charged himself with only $10,001.80.
"That In the matter of revenues derived from
franchises to rallroids anil other coriorutions.
It appears that mnny corporations bavo failed
to pay tho percentages whiih should havo been
p.iiil. and I hat tho Comptroller lu Brookljn h.u
railM collect the iunu.
"That the bonk of account of Brooklyn and
of Kiuga county aro extremely faulty lu met hod
and imtccurntc in detail and do not truthfully
sol forth tho assntB und liabilities of tho city and
county."
Comptroller Fitch also said that the oxpert ac
countants report that upon the basis of the
assessed valuation of real esuto In lDli the
net bonded debt of Brooklyn was ou Oct. 0.
1807. as set forth In tho books of the Comptrol
ler of Brooklyn, only $181,907.20 lesi than tho
constitutional lima of indebtedness, and that,
bused on tho assessed real estate valuation of
1807, Including awards made for lionds not yet
Issued, It was only 914, 107.03 leis than the
constitutional limit of Indebtedness on tho sumo
dato.
When aeked what he intended to do about
the matter. Comptroller Fitch, said that tho In
veitigntloti would proceed to tho end, anil that,
when he got together all tho evident e, he
would bring it berore the proper authorities.
When 51 '.vor Strong read the n port he seemed
to be surpriMid.
"The boys In Brooklyn seem to be n little
mixeil in their ait-oiinw," he said. "Theromay
be somo excuso for it, though. I know Mayor
Wurater has kept his eyo on things pretty
closely during his term, and so did Mayor
Sctilt-ren. but, then, one mau cannot look after
everything."

symptoms of nervous prostration and a pbyBl
clan was sent for, who said tbnt he was in n very
sorlous state lie asserted tbnt he would not
consent to be taken to New York without re
quisition papers.
The specific chargo against Rice Is grand

body, polled four tlmea aa many rotes as the Bryanlto
plurality, and on the contest for Congressman ths
successful fusion nominee, Tclley, had a majority of
68 rotes onlj. It Isone of tho peculiarities of politics
la South Dakota that ln fourteen of the organized
