I VAN WYCK, VAN WYCK & CO.
CANDIDATE TO OPEN HIS CAMPAIGN
IN BROOKLYN OCT. 19.
Hs Heea Crokar MrCarren Has Mo Mark
Montr to tpead That Ba I Accused of
Hiring; All tha Halls In tke State As
sessments la Kings Another Tan Wyck.
Tha Hon. Patrick Hanrr JfcCarren. Chairman
of tha Democratic campaigners at tha Hoffman
House, announced yesterday that Augustus
Van Wyok. Democratic candidate for Governor.
would open tha Demoeratlo campaign In tha
Brooklyn Academy of Music on Tharaday ren
ins. Oct. IS. Chairman MeCarren aald that It
had not been decided whether or not Hr. Van
Wyok wonld make a stamping tour through
the Stat. It was Intimated, however, that pos
sibly ha may make two or thraa apeechea up
tha State.
Democrat familiar with the manoeuvres of
Chairman IfoCarren said yesterday that he la
playing a deep and dark game all oyer the
State. The subterranean scheme. It waa de
clared, consists In hlrlnc all of the available
halla In all of tha big towns of the State and,
holding them for purposes of his own. His
chief purpose, it waa added, la to prevent tha
holding of Republican masa meetings, and
especially In attempting to prevent the people
of tha State from hearing and seeing Col. Theo
dora Roosevelt, the Republican candidate for
Governor.
It la wall known that the Democratic cam
paign managers have bales of green baoka and
tru ok loads of coin with which to conduct the
present campaign. In remote parts of some of
the upper counties It Is necessary for the vot
ers to be wheeled to tha polls on election day.
The Democrats who told of t heir fomlllarl ty with
Chairman MoCamn's aohemes said that emis
saries had already departed to all of these remote
parts of tha upper counties for the purpose of
hiring ail the wagons and vehlsles on election
day and thus preventing their uae by tho no
publicans. Chairman HoCarren. of course,
would aay nothing about these alleged schemes,
except to say that those who gnvo voice to the
stories were little less than Idiots. That's all
very well, but it is well known thst the Demo
cratic oampalgn managers are up to all sorts of
tricks in this campaign and will bear watching.
The Tammany Democrats who visited Demo
cratic headquarters in the Hoffman House said
that they were very much pleased to read in
i Tub Sum yeaterday morning that Hr. Croker'a
contemplated national Democratic ticket in
1900 waa "Van Wyck and Van Wyck" Augus
tus Van Wyck for President and Robert A. Van
Wyck for Vice-President. The candidate for
President and Vice-President under the ''in
stitution cannot come from the snmo State.
That didn't bother the Tammanyites n little
bit One of them said:
"I notice with great pleasure that The Sun
has divined the national Democratic ticket for
lBOO Van wyck and Van Wyck. These are
namea to conjure with. The ticket meets with
general approval In Tammany circles, whern
men and not platforms and the Constitution
count. As the Hon. Timothy Justinian Camp
bell very truly says. 'What Is a little thine like
the Constitution between friends?' That is good
Tammanydoctrine. There Is one suggestion that
I would like to make in reference to the, forth
coming national ticket, I observe that the
1 Eon. Richard Croker is named for Secretary of
War. There Is no doubt In the mindsofmnny
of the Tammany warriors that Mr. ( Iroker would
live up the highest traditions of the offlce.
True, Mr. Croker has never been to war; but
that waa because he was too busy at home
during the stirring days of 'HI to Joo, It Is not
necessary In order to be a great War Secretary
that on1 must hove seen field service. That the
ory was long ago exploded. Rut the right place
' for Jlr. Croker in the Van Wyck -Van Wyck
Cabinet is Secretary of State. Here Mr Croker
would shine. His long residence in England
bas given him u firm grasp on all international
questions. Then there Is the Prince or Wales
to be considered. Who could conduct a delicate
matter of diplomacy with his Highness with
more graoe and tact than Mr. Croker? No mat
ter what cynics may say, friendship goes a long
way in diplomacy. Mr. Croker is the friend of
the Prince. He would bo a worthy successor of
the lnte Thomas P. Bayard. Let us all come
together for 11HK."
There is another brother of tho Van Wycka,
it was said, hiddeu away somewhere in Queens
connty. At the proper lime, it was added, ho
will be pulled out inio the glare of public place,
and If all goes well with the "Van Wyck and
Van Wyck" ticket, this hidden brother will
have a fine place in the "Van Wyck and Van
Wyck" cabinet. So that, loklng forward to
those glorious days, on" of the Tammanyites
made up the national ad mill 1st rat ion for lttOO
as follows:
President Auocsrrs Van wyck.
Vice-President Hobfbt A. Van WtcK.
Ms cietary of hup-- -itii it ,iu choker.
Secretary of War Patrick Hi niiy Mc t'uinrN.
Attorney-General William Vas Wtce. Augustus's

Secretary of tho Treasury James W, Osborst,
Augustus's son-in-law.
Secretary of tho Interior Tohn F. Carroll.
Secretary of the Navy -The lnns-hiddcn brother
Van Wtck. tills Christian name will he forthcoming
at the proper time.)
Bridge Commissioner John L. Shea. ur
Chairman of tho Democratic Executive Com
mittee in Brooklyn, spent a lew hours yester
day with his fellow committeemen in the
"hoodooed" Thomns Jefferson Building in
Court Sciuare. ami mupi oil out the preliminary
work of the campaign. In his efforts to roll up
a big vote for the Syracuse ticket in Kings
county, be is to hove the aid and counsel of
President Bernard J. York of the police
Boanl. who retired from tho Executive
Committee Chairmanship a few months ago on
the plea that tho retention of such a place
might subject him to partisan criticism In view
of his official control over the election ma
chinery. Mr. York has the reputation of being
a very shrewd political worker, even if he lacks
personal popularity with the boys, mid it Is
Confidently oxpect-d that ho will bo much in
evidence in Court B luare during the next four
weeks. Hugh McLaughlin wants Shea. York,
and all the other big official placemen to do
their level hc-,1 this year, and order", it Is said,
have already been sent out from the Vtllloughby
arret auction room to hove the Immense army
of officeholders, including liolioeinon nnd flro
mo.i. assessed to hclppusb the campaign along.
"We are going to have n rousing old-fashioned
campaign." one of tho Willoughby street
rvn remarked, "and we want the sinews of
Wir Every mnn who holds n job bv the grace
of Hugh Mclaughlin and Richard Croker will
iiavc to come to time this year. Most of the
lepubllonns also who hold nice jobs will, I
think, find it for their Interest to chip In."
Candidate Van Wyck had a talk with Mr.
McLaughlin yesterday, and then came to Man
hattan, where he bad a conference with Mr.
Croker and Senator MeCarren. A strong con
tingent is expected from the Brooklyn side of
the bridge to whoop it up for Van Wyck. It la
rkid that Mr. McLaughlin is very nnxious to
nve ex-Senator David B. Hill on the platform
In the Academy of Brooklyn Oct. l.'l. and that
he has been urgently requested to come down
from Albany and renew his relations with the
Brooklyn Democracy, which had been inter
rupted since Bryan and the Chicago platform
were sprung on the party as a disturbing ele
ment. Homo of the Democratic managers are
opposed to Mr McLaughlin's plan, and one of
them aald that there was the danger of a
Eus should Hill come down from Wolfert's
t and oonfront the Domocrnlio nosts of
klyn.
" It would not be pleasant," he said. " at this
J logo of the game to have the ex-Senator
ilssed off the platform. Our Shepardtto friends,
also, who are snenklng back Into the fold,
might not llnd It agreeable to sit side by side
with their ancient and most hated foe."
Mr. McLaughlin, however, will have his way
unless Hill should find It convenient to decline
the Invitation.

BATIFTIXO ROOSEVELT.
West Side Republican Clnh Holds a Roaslag
Masting.
The West Side Republican Club, whose house
Is a; 477 Boulevard, threw open Its doors last
night for a public ratification of the nomina
tions of the Saratoga Convention. The clnb's
assembly room and the rooms opening
off It were Packed, almoat as sardine
boxes are packed, with members of the
organization and their friends. Many women
were among the number. Christian N. Bovee,
Jr.. President of tho club, presided, and tho
speakers were Lieut. -Gov. Woodruff. Oeu.
Stewart L. Woodford, John Proctor Clarke and
State Senator John Ford.
Mr. Woodruff was the first spenker and he
obliged his Democratic friends by confining
himself entirely to Stste Issues. When he was
Introduced he got a rousing reception, end It
ws utterly Imnosslhle for him to make him
self heard for several seconds. So he stood
with his hands In the pockets of his dress
trousers and smiled at the audience. When he
got a chance ho said :
" When so distinguished a Republican ns
Oen. Woodford Is scheduled to speak at a
meeting where I am expected to say some
thing. I feel as if It was not only an affront to
him, but an Imposition upon the audience to
precede htm in the speaking. But since it has
been decided that I should render the first
number on the programme I may as well pitch
In. One reason that I did not goto the war
was because I had to bo in Albany. Nobody
ever asked mo to help run the affairs of the na
tion, so I must talk about something with
which 1 am familiar the administration of the
affairs of this State by the Republican party.
There arc plenty of national issues involved in
this campaign, but let those who are familiar
with them as they are with tho alphabet dis
cuss thom."
Then the little Lieutenant-Governor plunged
in. and when he had finished the most hide
bound Democrat couldn't complain that Stnto
issues were being dodged by the Repub
licans. Mr. Woodruff reviewed the admin
istration of Govs. Morton and Black and
contrasted them with the administrations of
Govs. Hill and Flower. He took up tho
question of the tax rate, so dear to tho heurt of
Messrs. Hill and Croker. showed that It Is
this year lower (2.0Hmlllsl thsn It ever has been
In tho history of the State : told how it hap
pened to be lower, even though the State has
had heavier expenses during Republican rule
than ever before, and then he took up tho canal
question. Mr. Woodruff didn't orate or
harangue. He just talked, earnestly and forci
bly, with plenty of vim and anap, and when he
was through those who hesrd him knew a lot
more about "State issues" than they did be
fore.
Gen. Woodford followed. He got just, as en
thusiastic a reception aa the Lieutenant-Governor,
and the audience punctuated his speech
from beginning to end with applause and
cheers. His speech was all red, white mid
blue. He told how the President had nvertod
war until the nation was ready to fight, "and
then." he said, " the President struck, quickly,
sharply and decisively." Around that Presi
dent he asked Republicans to rally aa thoy did
in IKisi, and tell him by their votes that they
approved of his course.
Mr. Clarke was the next speaker, and he
showed a remarkable familiarity with the de
tails of the war. He gave some inside history
about the war that he must have got from
bomebody who knew it. and he dosed with a
most eloquent tribute to Col. Roosevelt, the
man, the statesman and the soldier. The meet
ing closed with a short speech from Senator
Ford.
Timothy D. Gleason presided last night at a
meeting in Belmont Hall, at 'J.'iou Arthur
avenue, which was attended by nearly 500
people. Qol. Roosevelt and tho reBt of tho Re
publican State ticket were endorsed amid great
enthusiasm.
The Murray Hill Republican Club held a
meeting at 1481 Broadway, and the Rough
Riders' Republican Club, a new organization, a
meeting at 15.14 Third avenue. Both meetings
were crowded, and every mention of Col.
Roosevelt's name was heartily cheered.

fterman-Amerlcan Newspaper Interviews
Him and rinds Oat Where He Stands.
The Grou -Veto Yorker Zeitung publishes
this morning tho following statement from
Col. Roosevelt, given by him to a reporter of
that paper:
" I havo always wishod that wo could assimi
late one German word and the habit thnt It
denotes. I mean 'GemQthllchkett.' The thing
that Impresses me most in dealing with my
fellow Americans of Gorman origin, next to
their law-abiding orderliness. Is the good-fellowship
which enables them to bring their
wives and children to the clubs and concerts
where they themselves And enjoyment. If a
man takes his wife and children to a place.lt
speaks well for the man and well for the place.
By the way. one of the olghtt'iiptains in my regi
ment in Cuba was a German by birth, but he
was just as good an American as If his people
had been here for three centuries. I allude to
Capt. Miller. His troop guidon was one of the
first two flags planted on the summit of San
Juan Hill. There were any number of my
troopcrH who were of German origin : for in
stance, my orderly, who was closer to me than
nny one else In the fighting before Santiago.
He was Heinrfeh Batschor. whoso father was
on ' Achtnndvierzlger.' Iom glad of the sup
port of nil honest, men. But I can sar quite
sincerely that I am moro touched and pleased
bv the support of men like Mr. Paul Ooepel.
Hubert Clllis. Arthur von Brlesen. and the
other gentlemen of the same standing and as
sociation, than lam by almost anything else in
the present canvass. I shall try to mage thom
feel n genuine pride in my administration,"
Tho Colonel had nothing to sav about State
issues : but it may be of Interest to repoat what
he stated while Police Commissioner in his tes
timony bejfore the Senate Committee, as found
in No. 41 of the documents of the Senate of the
State of New York. 120th session. 117. where
he said :
"For myself I would welcome any provision
of law which would allow on cortain hours of
Sundav n man and his wife and children to sit
down somewhere, and when they have taken
some form of meal take their beer, and that is
specially so in reference to what Is. perhaps, tho
most orderlv element of all, the Germans:
there Is reel hardship In not being able to dis
criminate between n man who stands nt a bar
and drinks without his wife and children, and
o man who takes his wife and children with
him nnd goes to some resort for a little recrea
tion." MtOOKl.YS HOT FOR ROOSEVELT.
The Union League Club Demonstration To
Morrow Night Will Be a Rouser.
The Republican warriors In Brooklyn were
greatly elated yesterday over the enthusiastic
welcome to Col. Roosevelt at Carnegie Hall on
Wednesday night and they confidently expect
that the demonstration In his honor nt the
Union League Club and the adjoining square
to-morrow night will bo equally hearty and
Impressive. While the reception to Col. Roose
velt and Lleut.-Gov. Woodruff Is In progress In
the main parlor of the clubhouse, marching
bodies will come from all points of the borough
with bands of music, flags, torches and trans
parencies and will range themselves nround
the spin-ions square. On departing they will
probably bo reviewed by Col. Roosevelt from a
plntform in front of the building. This demon
stration will be the formal opening of the cam
paign in Brooklyn and each night until Its
close there will be rousing rallies all over the
borough.
The determination of the Young Republican
Club to enter Into the canvass with its old-timo
vigor has hoen especially gratifying to the reg
ular managers. Tho olub will not only work us
a whole, nut will opeu a headquarters in each
ward, nnd will In other wnys contribute to the
active work of the campaign. Its hig rally for
Col. Roosevelt will take place at the Academy
of Music on Oct. 10.
Much Interest is taken in the Second District
Judicial Convention, which is to be hold in tho
Park Theatre to-day. It is conceded thnt Jus
tice Jesse Johnson will be renominated, but
there is considerable speculation as to whether
ex-Senator Charles H. Russell or Frederick A.
Ward will get the other place. The race be
tween them Is very olose and the result may be
determined by a few votes. Yesterday Judge
James M. Hunt of Westchestercntered the Held
as a candidate. He established himself at the
Clarendon Hotel and told all the delegates who
dropped In to pay their respects that It would
be good politics to give the country voters rec
ognition on the ticket, and that lu his opinion
Westchester county was beat entitled to the
honor. While Judge Hunt's strength is not for
midable, it was said that. In n possible contin
gency, he might be named as a compromise
candidate.
Gov. Black Says He Was Nol Invited to At
tend the Carnegie Hall Meeting.
Ai.bahy. Oct. 6. Gov. Black returned to his
desk in the executive chamber this afternoon.
He has been spending the past few days in the
Berkshire and at Bennington with a party of
friends. The Governor said that he had not
received an Invitation to attend the Carnegie
Ball meeting In New York last night, and that
the only invitation along that line which he
had received was to attend the Republican
Club reception on Monday night last, which he
had been compelled to decline. The Governor
suld that he had made no plans for appearing
on the stump during the present campaign.

Senator Lodgo's speech was the event of the
day. He spoke at length on the results of tho
war and the compensations attending It. Re
garding the latter. Mr. Lodge said it was the
setting up of high ideals for the younger men.
the union of Engllshpeaklng people the world
over, and the union of North and South In our
own country. As to our foreign policy, he
said:
"I wnnt no treaty of alliance with nny power
on earth. We need none. We have gone our
own way and will go our own way elsewhere.
u i icn tangled by any alliances: but at the same
time. 1 um glad that this wnr has disclosed to
us certain faetH. An outburst of hostility
when this war began, undertaken for as noble
a purpose as a war could be, run over the Con
tinent from Paris to St. Petersburg. They
were all against us. Wo also remember that
when we entered upon the war nil the men who
spoko our tongue from London to Australia
bade us izodsliocd.
"We went to war to free Cuba. In the
course of thnt war we have freed the people
of the'Phillplnes, sunk In a 1 tyranny -worse
than all tint which we have seen In Cutis, n
people In revolt like tho Cubans. Unless we
ore falso to the purpose which took us Into
the war. and which should forbid us to hand
the Cubans, back to Spain, we cannot, in my
judgment, return the people of tho Phlllpines
to Spanish tyrnnny.
"With my honored and belovod colleague.
Senator Hoar. I most cordially agree that we
want no great conquered provinces and no
subject peoples. It Is not our duty. It is not
the path of the American people to Impose a
yoke upon unwilling shoulders, but I also
agree with my colleague thnt this has been
one of the greatest and most mernornblo his
toric transactions of the century ami that we
cannot thrust back under the dominion of
Spain the iieople whom we huve liberated.
"What our future policy In the East will be
the future must decide. We have been moving
rapidly on the stream of great events. The
inability of to-day Is the truism of to-morrow.
We are now moving on In the settlement of
tho questions that nrc upon us. I am ready
to go ns fur .is I havo gone, ns far as this con
vention has gone, in saving thnt you will not
re'urn the people whom we have freed, either
in the East or in the West to the tyranny
from which our armies have wrested them.
We have taken them out of the dungeon of
giant despair. Let us at least give them the
opportunity to build the castle beautiful.
The policy of the Administration, I have no
question, will be broad, sound American. I
am contented to wait nnd let the constituted
authorities do the work that Is assigned to
them. 1 have confidence in the President and
his Commissioners and I believe that we havo
taken the right course ns Republicans In sim
ply la vilis.' down the great general principle
that we want to preserve the liberty of those
whom we have freed and thnt we leave the
settlement of the infinite nnd perplexing de
tails of tho negotiation to the President of the
United States.
"These questions must bo met and they do
not touch nor break down the policy of Wash
ington, which was that we should not inter
fere with the affairs of Europe. Wo made no
effort to selre the Canaries. We do not In
fringe upon the Monroe doctrine. We guard
It as much as ever. That is a very misunder
stood doctrine and yet a verv simple one. It
is morely this thnt we should not meddle In
Europe: Europe should acquire no new terri
tories In the Americas. We do not risk it be
cause we took the Hawaiian Islands or hold
an Island In the Ladrones."

called the convention to order last night, and
then nominated Edward Lauterbach for per
manent Chairman and George R. Manchester
for secretary. After these officials had been
duly Installed. Mr. (Julgg said:
"It has been proposed By the Bar Association
and by a committee representing lawyers not
cotineoted wLh that body, to nominate candi
dates for the judiciary without regard to party
politics. Thev have Indorsed Justices Daly
and Cohen and I most heartily Indorse them
myself. I think to nominate thorn Is the wise
thing to do. For the third candidate and for
n candidate for the City Court the convention
will havo to find men. Under the amalgama
tion Justices of Inferior courts were elevated
to the Supreme Court bench who wore well,
who wore incompetent, so to speak. The
Democrats had nominated men to tho Inferior
courts who were not equipped for the Bu
preme Court work, who were Incompetent to
try great eases. This Is generally known.
This is our chance to strengthen the Supreme
Court and it is the purpose of the Republican
party to lift the judiciary above tho plane of
parly polities. I think the Independent law
yers have some rights and that we should co
operate with them."
Ex-Judge Myer S. Isaaos rose when Mr.
(Julgg sat down nnd said:
"Much as I dislike to take issue with Mr,
Uulgg. I don't think that lawyers as a general
thing agree with him about Incompetent Jus
tices. In my opinion, Justices like Freedman,
Blsohoff. Daly. Cohen and Pryor are all right.
Abe G ruber rose next and said:
'I didn't mean to talk when I came here to
night, but now I think I'll have to say a word,
f echo the sentiments of all the lawyers who
think the Justices are not Incompetent. I
think Mr. (Julgg must have been misinformed."
Mr. (Julgg made no response, but moved the
appointment of the committee of conference.
Edward Lauterbach. Lemuel K (Julgg. Thomas
H. Hubbard, Charles H. Murray, James W.
Hawes, James A. Blanchard. Lucas L. Van

Report About Choate and the Henntorshlp
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, tho Republican can
didate for Governor, had long conferences yes
terday afternoon at Republican State head
quarters, in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, with
Chairman Odell of the Republican State Com
mittee. Chairman Barnes of the Executive
Committee, President (Julgg of the New York
County Committee, and Edward Lauterbach,
ex-President of the County Committee. Opera
tions for a swinging and vigorous campaign
were discussed, but It Is not proposed
to let these out just st the moment. At the
propertlme they will all be known, but It Is not
the purpose to enlighten the Democratic man
agers as to what Is going on. The general Idea
Is that Col. Roosevelt should make six or seven
speeches In the principal cities of New York
State. Nothing definite, however, has been de
cided about this matter.
One of the most Interesting visitors to Col.
Roosevelt yesterday at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
was Col. Joel B. Erhardt, ex-Police Commis
sioner and ex-Collector of the Port of New
York. Col. Roosevelt and Col. Erhardt had a
long talk. This Is the first appearance of Col.
Erhardt at Republican State headquarters
In nearly ten years. He has been ono of the
profound geniuses of tho Citizens' Union In
New York city. In many respects Col. Erhardt
was chief genius In the Seth Low campaign
for Mayor a year ago. He is a versatile
cltisen in raising the mischief, snd for
that reason all Republicans were mlgbty
glad when he called on Col. Roosevelt
yesterday and announced that he would do
everything possible along with his other
friends in the Citizens' Union, like Elihu Root,
Joseph II . Choate nnd Soth Low. to boost Col.
Roosevelt Into the Executive chair at Albany.
A report was circulated last night that the
Republican organization of New York State and
New York eouuty would do everything possi
ble, provided the Republicans recaptured the
Legislature, to elect Joseph H. Choate United
States Senator to succeed the Hon. Edward
Murphy. Jr.. of Troy. Tho report gained head
way, and yet it may be said that no
Republican candidate for United States Sena
tor has been agreed upon. Some of the friends
of Gen. Stewart L. Woodford desire him to
have the place. Some of the friends of Benja
min B. Odell. Jr.. believe that he should sit
side by side with Senator Plntt In the
United States Senate. Some of the frlonds
of Representative Wnrren B. Hooker of
Cattaraugus Insist that he shall be the
man. ana there ore n number of others. The
Republican campaigners made It known that
they were not thlnldng just now of candidates
for the United States Senate, but were bending
all their oncrglos toward giving Col. Roosevelt
nnd the Republican State ticket a tremendous
majority and, at the same time, of electing a
Republican Legislature and n solid Republican
delegation from the State in Congress.
The Republicans received word yesterday
that a majority of the young Democratic busi
ness men on nil the downtown exchanges and
other commercial bodies in Now York city
would vote for Col. Roosevelt for tho reason that
the Colonel stands upon the sound financial
platform enunolated at Saratoga. The Repub
lican party is united all over the State.
It lias not been so united, it was declared, since
war days. The Republicans are nllve to the Im
portance of getting out tho country vote, and
with all of the independent Republicans nnd the
young Democrats Col. Roosevelt Is assured. It
was declared, of a majority that will make the
Democrats dizzy.
Col. Roosevelt will probably roturn to Oyster
Bay at 10 o'clock this morning.
TWO FORTVNATO CASTELLANOS.
The Right One Was Chosen ns a Republican
Standard Bearer In South Brooklyn.
The Italian colony in South Brooklyn boasts
of two popular representatives, each bearing
the name of Fortunato Costellano. One of
them, whose home is ot 8 Second plase. has
been so energetic in rallying the Italians to
the Democratic standard that Sewer Com
missioner James Kane gave him a job in his
department. The otler Fortunato Costellano
lives at 23 President street and is an earnest
Republican. Congressman Dennis M. Hur
ley has found him a valuable aid In diverting
a considerable part of the Italian vote in the
Sixth ward from his Democratic competitors.
Tho Republican Costellano has not hungered
after any political berth, as bis business of
stevedore brought him a good income. On
Tuesday night, however, when tho Repub
licans in tho Third Assembly district mot to
nominate a candidate for Assembly. Mr. Cos
tellano. through the powerful pull of Con
gressman Hurley, was made the unanimous
choice. Somehow the other Costellano got
it into his hep I lint he had been made the
Republican candidate and before he discov
ered hl-i mistake he hod a confab with the
Democratic managers and by their advice de
cided to reject the proffered honor. Bo mnde
haste to hunt up the reporters and announce
his declination, and at the ssme timo re
marked that the little scheme had been oon
cooted by Congressman Hurley with a view
to solidify the Italian vote for the Repub
licans at the coming election. He wai very
much surprised when he learned that it was
his Republican namesake who had been se
ected to wipe out the 700 or 800 Democratic
majority in the district.

covery is an almost unfailing cure if
taken in the earlier stages of the disease.
It will cure consumption and all allied dis
eases, as bronchial, throat and nasal affeo
tions. It cures by going to first principles,
A man's body starves a long time before
consumption attacks him. The tissues of
his lungs starve for lack of sufficient nour
ishment. They become inert and half
dead and then arc attacked by the baccilU
of consumption. The "Golden Medical
Discovery " restores the long-lost appetite;
it strengthens the weak stomach and cor
rects the impaired digestion; it promotes
the flow of digestive Juices and facilitates
the assimilation of the life-giving elements
of the food into the blood. When the
blood is pure snd rich, old inert tissues ant
torn down, carried off and excreted, and
new, healthy, muscular tissues replace
them. It allays inflammation of the mu
cous membranes, soothes the cough, fa
cilitates expectoration, and deepens the
breathing, supplying the system with a
much needed stock of oxygen. It drives
out all impurities and disease germs.

WARSHIPS Ott THE LARES.
P.rTnrta to flaenre tha Abrogation or Modifi
cation of ths Rnsh-Baaot Treaty.
Waisihotok, Oet. 6. According to the opin
ion expressed by officers of the Administration,
there Is good reason for the belief thnt an ar
rangement will be effected by the Joint Canadian-American
Commission now In session in
Quebec for the modification ot the Ruah-Bagot
treaty between Great Britain and the United
States, so as to permit the construction of war
ships on the great lakes. Representative Foss
of Illinois had a talk with President McKinley
on the subject to-day and Representative Cor
liss of Michigan saw Secretary Long. Both
urged that the American Commissioners be
instructed to work for the abrogation, or. at
least, the modification of that portion of the
treaty relating to the building and the reten
tion of ships of war on the lakes. It devel
oped to-day that the Administration hod given
Instructions to the American Commissioners
of such a character as to make officials here
hopeful that something definite would be done
before tho commie Ion adjourned.
According to Information obtained to-day. It.
appears that several months ago the Navy De
partment appointed a hoard of officers, con
sisting of Lieut. Saterlee. Lieut. Seymour, and
Naval Constructor Dashlell, to examine the en
tire subject of the effect of the Rusli-llogot
treaty and report to the department whether
It was desirable to secure Its abrogation or
modification. The board was asked to report
how many war vessels each country should
maintain on the great lakes, and whether It
was advisable to build warships on the lakes
and to make such suggestions as it deemed
proper. The report of the board was duly
made, and Secretary Long transmitted it. to the
State Department, with a statement that It em
bodied the views of the Navy Department.
Tho report has been sent trsSenator Fairbanks.
Chairman of the American Commission, and it.
will bo the basis ot n consideration of the whole
subject at (Juebeo.
Tho Naval Board recommended that each
Government should maintain two gunboats on
the lakes, these vessels to be about 1,100 tons
displacement and corresponding generally to
tho gunboats of the Marietta class. The board
said that these vessels would be sufficient to
represent the navy, serve as an object lessou to
tho people who follow the lakes fora livelihood,
do police duty, instruct the naval mllltla, and
rendor assistance to other branches of the
Government as occasion aroso It was also
IKiinted out that these vessels could go to the
ocean as soon as the Csnad tan canals wore en
larged as proposed, and would therefore be
available In time of war. The board added
that it did not mean, by recommending the use
of this limited number of naval vessels, to sug-
Sost that the number of revenue cutters, light
ouse tenders, and other Government vessels
on the lakes be reduced.
The board. In response to the second ques
tion of the Navy Department, recommended
that the great lokes shipbuilders be invited to
bid upon the construction of all Government
vessels that cap get through the canals to the
ocean, suoh as light-draught gunboats, torpedo-boat
destroyers and torpedo boots. These
vessels.lt says, could have their batteries In
stalled after they reached the seaboard, thus
avoiding diplomatic embarrassments. In re- I
spouse to the direction to submit suggestions,
the board recommended that an agreement be
made with Great Britain to permit tho United
States to equip every naval militia organization
on the lakes with a training ship. These ves
sels, it said, would be obsolete as fighters, but
very useful In developing men-of-waramen.
The board did not favor the erection ot a Gov
ernment shipyard on the lakes. It recom
mended, howevefr. that naval stations be es
tablished there, where worships can be win
tered and overhauled.
Secretary nay Receives the Diplomatic
Corps.
WAsniNOTON. Oct. 6. Mr. John Hny. the new
Secretary of State, received the members of
the Diplomatic Corps in the diplomatic room of
the State Department this morning. Very few
of the diplomats have returned to Washington
from the resorts whore they have spent the
summer, and the attendance was small. Not
one of the five Ambassadors accredited to this
Government was present. Mr. Ploda. the Min
ister of Switzerland, was the senior member of
the corps present. The Introductions were
gorformed by Mr. A. A. Adee, Second Assistant

TITO WIVES CLAIM Q VESA DA.
Prior Written Agreement Invalidates Si
Church Marriage,
Two women claimed Carlos Yincente De
Quesodo for husband before Justice Cohen of
the Suprefne Court yesterday, and each said
she had married him in the summer of 1800 by
a written agreement, witnessed and executed
before persons who, the women were led to
believe, were clergymen.
Quesada was a translator In Spanish and
English, and did a good business. In the win
tor ot 1890 he met the woman who calls her
self Louise C. G. Quesada. a teacher of lan
guages, an Englishwoman, and Miss Jennie
Hungorford, an American. Ho courted them
both through the rest ot tho winter and spring,
and wrote them. each a stack of burning love
letters, which were produced before Justice
Cohen yesterday on an action brought by
Louise C. G. Quesada to obtain an absolute
divorce on the ground of hie relations down to
1807 with Miss Hungerford. The plaintiff
presented her written contract of marriage in
evidence yesterday, but Miss Hungerford
stated that Quesada had taken her certificate
away.
Quesada did not appear yesterday. Both
women gave accounts of their experiences with
him. Each sold that after her marriage to him
by written contract she had tried to induce him
to enter upon a civil or religious oeremony, but
he declined for some time, saying that the con
tract was just as good. Ho abandoned the
plaintiff soon alter the marriage, but she found
him nut, and they corresponded for a long
time afterward. Miss Hungerford continued
to live with him until lhl'7. and testified that
part of the time she maintained him and even
paid to send htm to a sanitarium in Connecti
cut when he had been drinking too hard. She
Induced him to marry her by religious cere
mony at the Church of the Transfiguration in
August. I mis l. Ho never married the plaintiff
except by tho written contract. Some time ago
he inherited $5,000 from the estate of his
mother In Cuba.
Justice Cohen said that It was with reluc
tance that he was compelled to deelde that the
plaintiff was Quesada's wife, as the written
contract with the plaintiff seemed to ante-date
that with Miss Hungerford. He sympathized
with Miss Hungerford in the position In which
his decision left her.

Tim Callahan, ths youthful bantam from
Philadelphia, went a peg higher In his march
for honors In the 115-pound division by defeat
ing George Munroe In twenty-five rounds at
the Greenwood A. C. laat night. The clubhouse
wss crowded. Owen Zlegler was referee.
Jaok Sullivan and Charley Schultz, two Bow
cry scrappers, mixed It up In the first bout of
ten rounds at 140 pounds. In tho seventh
round Schultz fouled Sullivan while the latter
was on his knees, and Schultz was disqualified.
Mike Mauser of Elizabeth and Walter Burgo
of Boston were paired in the next bout, also
for ten rounds at catch weights. They fought
like whirlwinds. In the seventh round, after
u lively mix-up, Burgo dealt his adversary a
i -('sounding punch with the left hand in the pit
of the stomach. Hauscr went down and was
counted out.
Callahan snd Munroe then entered the ring.
Munroe hod behind him Doily Lyons. Tim
Keorus. Chsrley Kelly, snd Sam Harris. Cal
lahan's seconds were Al McMurray. Steve Mur
