Fusionists Discard For

REPUBLICANS 00 LIKEWISE
Enrich and McGuire in Their
Stead in New York.
DEH0CRATS.ARE STILL WARRING
Brooklyn Is Determined to Knife
"Grout and Pomes Tnmmanr May
Run Uncle of Roosevelt for
President of Manhattan.
-rCKV YORK, Oct. 7. All uncertainty
regardinc the action of the Citizens
Union and Republican organizations, on
the question of ousting Messrs. Grout and
Forncs from the Fusion ticket, was re
moved tonight, when both conventions
convened and voted unanimously to re
scind the nominations for Controller ar.d
Aldermanic President, made at the orig
inal convention, and to nominate instead
Frederick "V. .Hcinrlchs, of Brooklyn, and
E. J. McGuire.. of Manhattan.
At the Citizens' Union convention in
Cooper Union, presided over by Francis
C. Huntington, little interest was shown
In the nominations. At the close of the
convention, the delegates from the
Bronx met and nominated Coroner Joseph
I. Berry, who also has been nominated by
the Republicans as Borough President.
The Republican convention in Carnegie
HaJI was presided over by ex-Lieutenant-Governor
"Woodruff. The nominations of
Messrs. Helnrichs and McGuire were ac
cepted unanimously. Mr. Helnrichs was a
candidate for Lieutenant-Governor on the
Gold Democratic ticket In 1S96. for presi
dent of the Borough of Brooklyn on the
Low ticket in 1S97, and for State Attorney
General on the Citizens' Union ticket in
Mr. McGuire is an assistant Corpo
ration Counsel.
Not much credence is given to the ru
mcr the.t Robert B. Roosevelt, uncle of
the president, has been asked to take the
Tammany nomination for president of
Manhattan Borough. While Mr. Roosevelt
has not been an active politician, he has
been an araent Tammany man, and a few
years ago was a sachem in the Society
of Tammany. An afternoon paper stated
that John Fox, ex-president of the Demo
cratic Club, Is to call upon Mr. 'Roose
velt in behalf of Tammany and tender-hlm
the place.
The chaotic condition of the Democratic
organization in Brooklyn was made evi
dent tonight when Martin "W. Lyttleton,
the Democratic candidate for borough
president, made his first campaign speech
at the Seymour Club. Mr. Lyttleton was
introduced just after resolutions indors
ing all the candidates on the city ticket
were read and unanimously carried amid
cheers. He immediately launched into a
speech condemning the course, of Leader
Murphy and the delegates from Tammany
Hall at the convention and made it' plain
that the Brooklyn leaders would not sup
port either Mr. Grout cr Mr. Fornes.
LOW IS VERY COOL TO GROUT.
Mayor More Cordial to "Fornes at an
Ofllcial Meeting.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7. Mayor Low,
Controller Grout and President Fornes,
of tie Board of Aldermen, central
figures In the complicated political
situation in Greater New York, met
today at a session of the Board of Esti
mates, and their personal attitude was
strangely true to their political attitude.
The Mayor shook hands rather cordially
with Fornes, but his only greeting to
Grout was a formal inclination of the
head.- Grout's acknowledgment was a Jiod
that was short and quick.
Grout and Fornes clasped hands across
the table In warm and effusive welcome,
ar.d their extended arms made an arch
on a line with the face of the Mayor,
who sat quietly at the head of the table.
Officially they all talked, but the pro
ceedings were formal and frigid.

FAMOUS FERRIS WHEEL COMING.
Chicago Attraction Rescued From
Jnnlc Pile for St. Louis Fair.
CHICAGO. Oct. 7. The Inter-Ocean to
day says: That the famous Ferris wheel
has been rescued from the junkplle and
will be taken to the St. Louis Exposition
Is now believed to be an assured fact.
Men are at work on the North Side, dls
mantelihg the wheel for a local house
wrecking company.
It is said the company will bo al
lowed to retain the first $100,000 of the
receipts at the fair grounds. The cost
of removal and setting up the wheel Is
estimated approximately at 5100.000. Af
ter the amount named In the concession
has been received, it Is said, one-third
of the prqfits will go to the owners of
the wheel and the remaining two-thirds
to tho treasury of the exposition.
The value of the wheel as junk is esti
mated at ?30,000, but because of the ox
pense attaching to its removal, the pres
ent owners are said to have obtained the
wheel for 5S100.
The history of the wheel abounds with
legal complications. Time and again
there have been reports of sale and of
projects for its removal. After the
World's Fair the wheel was taken to Its
present situation on the North Side. The
patronage there was too small to make
the running of the wheel profitable.

WASHINGTON. Oct 7. An increase In
the death rate of the Army in the Phil
ippines from 13.96 per 1000 in 1901, to 15.49
Ier 1000 in 1902, Is shown In the annual
reporr of Surgeon-General R. M. O'Reilly
FAMOUS LANG LEY AERODROME COMES TO GRIEF
COMPLETELY WRECKED
for the fiscal year ending June 30. This
Increase is attributed to cholera, which
caused 354 deaths. A slight Improvement
Is shown In the admission rate for disease
and injury, which declined from 17SL59 per
1000 In 1901. to 1716.51 per 1000 In 1902. Dis
cussing other features of the health of tho
Army, -Surgeon-General O'Reilly's report
says:
"The enrollment of about 5000 native
Filipino scouts having added a new racial
clement to Hie Army, It becomes a matter
of much interest to study tho comparative
effects' of disease on them and on our
white and colored troop3. For the whole
Army at home and abroad during the
year 1902, the white troops showed an ad
mission rate of 170G.23 per 1000, and a death
rate of 14.40. The negro troops had 1S97.74
admissions and 24.11 deaths per 1000, and
the Malay scouts 1707.21 admissions per
1000, and 24.04 deaths. The white race,
therefore, gave the lowest figures In sick
ness and much the lowest mortality. The
black race led in both, although the Malay
closely approached It In death rate.
"The freedom of Filipinos from the vice
of drunkenness Is strikingly shown when
we find that out of 5000 men, only three
individuals were treated for alcoholism in
one year, and while white soldiers
were admitted to sick report on account
of their own misconduct In the use of alco
hol at the rate of 24.7S per 1000. and col
ored troops at the rate of 1L70, the Malay
scouts showed the extremely small admis
sion rate of .62 per 1000.
"The steadily Increasing prevalence of
venereal disease is the most discouraging
feature in the sick report of the Army.
During 1902, 13,000 admissions were from
this cause alone, equivalent to a rate of
160.94 per 1000. Admissions to sick report
from alcoholism in 1902 were slightly In
excess of tho number. Including volun
teers, for 190L A total number of 1S30
cases, equivalent to 22.65 per 1000 of
strength occurred. It Is impossible not to
attribute a large part of the steadily in
creasing venereal diseases of. the Army to
the loss of the canteen, where the soldier
If he so desired could get his beer through
out the month, but was not subjected to the
temptations of Intemperance and vice now
attendant upon the expenditure of a full
month's pay at the low resorts In the out
skirts of our military reservations.
"A slight diminution of insanity oc
curred in the Army during 1902. There
were 133 new cases, equivalent to the ad
mission rate of 1.71 per 1000, which is al
most Identical with the rate for the dec
ade 1S91 to 1900."
REAVERS SHOWS HIS IIAN'D.
Ex-Postal Chief Questions Indict
ment in Fight Against Removal.
NEW YORK, Oct 7. The examination of
George W. Beavers on the first Washing
ton indictment charging him with com
plicity In an alleged conspiracy with tho
Postal Device fc Improvement Company,
of California, was commenced today be
fore United States Commissioner Hitch
cock. Beavers was not present being rep
resented by counsel.
The certified copy of the indictment hav
ing already been offered In evidence by
the prosecution, and proof' of the Identity
of the defendant being waived by his
counsel, tho prosecution Informed the de
fense that It considered this under Com
missioner Hitchcock's ruling a prima facie
case, and expected to put In no further
evidence on the removal proceedings on
this Indictment
The defense then called to the witness
stand Postoffice Inspector Weyland, who
signed the complaint against Beavers. The
witness was not allowed to say whether
he knew of any contract or agreement be
tween George W. Beavers, August W.
Machen. James W. Erwln and the Postal
Device & Improvement Company, wherein
the three men named agreed to secure for
the company the exclusive right to fur
nish the devices made by them to the
Postal Department and at prices higher
than thoss paid In the regular market,
that fcclng the basis of the offense charged
against the Indicted postal officials. The
witness said ho had never seen the con-
tract between the Postal Department and
the Postal Device and Improvement Com
pany, but had seen orders from the Gov
ernment to the company and acceptances
of them by the company.
Beavers' counsel then moved to dismiss
the removal charges against his client on
the ground that tho certified copy of the
lnalctmcnt did not state facts sufficient
to constitute a crime; that it was void
because a previous action of removal had
been Instituted in this district; that the
witnesses before the Federal grand Jury
in Washington had not been called by the
prosecution, and for other reasons. The
motion was denied.
Postofficc Inspector Birdscye testified in
a similar fashion. Counsel for Beavers
said he proposed to show that neither the
witness or any of the others so named
could have given the legal evidence be
fore the Federal grand jury in Washing
ton upon which the indictment was found.
"If we can show you that none of the
witnesses were compelled to swear to
these facts. Mr. CommlMlonfr," said Bea
vers' counsel, "I do not see how you can
hold this accused for removal."
Assistant District Attorney Baldwin In
sisted that the Commissioners' court was
no tribunal to attack the sufficiency of
the Indictment
The Commissioner said he was not pre
pared to rule upon that point, and an ad
journment was taken until the 13th Inst-

LONDON, Oct 7. Mr. Chamberlain had
as fervent a reception at Greenock tonight
from an audience numerically as great as
he had at Glasgow Tuesday night The
assemblage was mainly composed of-work-
-Photo by Butterworth.
lngmen, and he addressed his remarks es
pecially to their Interests. He incident
ally referred to the loss of the sugar trade,
once a flourishing industry at Greenock.
He lightly brushed aside figures, and said
he was contented to depend upon the gen
eral argument of his case. He challenged
the Cobden Club to explain the prosperity
of the protected countries. Being unham
pered by statistics, his oratory was more
effective than on the previous night, and
elicited a continuous stream of cheers and
laughter.
His campaign is being followed with tho
keenest interest by the- whole press, to
the exclusion of other topics. Even tho
Cabinet crisis is quite forgotten in the
excitement His speeches are reported
verbatim, generally with a careful synop
sis in addition, enabling tho readers rap
idly to seize the points and arguments,
which arc discussed and commented on
from every standpoint The courage he
displays and the success he has already
achieved at the two meetings hhve em
boldened his followers In the press, who
are already scenting victory.
According to authoritative accounts, Mr.
Chamberlain himself regards the Glasgow
meeting as having made the assurance of
success doubly sure, the result having ex
ceeded his utmost anticipations.
ADDRESS OF CHAMBERLAIN.
He Denis Partcnlarly With Re
ciprocity and Retaliation.
GREENOCK, Oct. 7. Ex-Secretary
Chamberlain spoke for one hour and a
quarter, and dealt particularly with the
questions of retaliation and reciprocity.
The late Colonial Secretary said he was
a free trader and wanted to live har
moniously with his neighbors, but he de
sired free exchange with all nations. If
they would not exchange, he was not a
fro trader at any price. He respected
"our American cousins," had consider
able respect for the Germans, and great
respect and greater friendship for the
French. The policy of these nations was
to use the tariffs to ease the home trade
and exclude foreign trade, while under
the present system in the United Kingdom
trade was steadily decreasing. Mr. Cham
berlain asked why all protective nations
prospered more than the unprotected ones.
If the Cbbdcnltes would satisfactorily an
swer that question, he would ask to be
allowed to hide his diminished head. His
occupation would bo gone.
Replies to His Critics.
Replying to the newspaper criticisms
that he selected 1S72, the greatest boom
year of British trade, as the basis of his
statistics, the speaker admitted that the
first 25 years of Cobden's free trade was
a flourishing period, and free trade was
then probably best for the country. But
he -was willing to take any period during
the last 20 years to illustrate bis argu
ments. Asking why the foreign protective coun
tries, even small nations like Sweden, had
all prospered, he said he believed they
were better strategists. Their policy as
enunciated by the late President McKlnley
and by the greatest of Americans long
before, namely Lincoln Bismarck and
other distinguished statesmen, had a great
deal behind It He continued:
"I say that you are inconsistent You
are adopting a suicidal course. If you per
sist in the present policy, your workmen
must cither take lower wages or lose their
work."
Will Invade British Market.
Mr. Chamberlain proceeded to refer to
the enormous output of the United States
Steel Corporation Work3 and the dimin
ishing home demand In the United States
for steel, owing to financial difficulties, the
redaction in railway construction, etc
He quoted from an American paper an
Interview with a director of the steel
corporation on the falling demand. In
which the director declared they had no
.Intention of diminishing the output and
throwing out of , employment thousands
of American workmen. Instead, they
would Invade foreign markets.

would bo sent to Great Britain, the only

"I warn you that within two or three
years you will have dumped here 10.000,000
tons of American Iron,, and thousands of
British workmen will lose employment
for the sole benefit of American manu
facturers and American workmen. I sym
pathize with American workmen, but after
all, I belong to England, and I am not
cosmopolitan enough to see the happiness
and prosperity of American workmen se
cured by the starvation and'-mlsery of the
British."
Concluding his general re-statement, the
speaker said that agriculture in Great
Britain was practically destroyed, the
sugar trade was gone, the silk trade was
gone, the iron and wool industries were
threatened and the same fate would come
to the cotton trade. He continued:
"How long, arc you going to stand It?
England is not afraid of foreign countries.
Sho Is the greatest market In" the world,
and foreign countries are her best cus
tomers, If a tariff war came, England,
would not come out second beat. One rea
son advanced for America's prosperity Is
her enormous population of 70,000,000, but
the British Empire has 60,000,000, all white,
and some 350,000,000 of other races, all
prospective customers of the mother
country."
In conclusion, Mr. Chamberlain said that
he trusted the people In this matter. He
had been told he was risking his political
life, but he had risked It before, and he
had no fear for the personal result
MUCH DEPENDS ON COLONIES.
Their Attitude Will Lnrgely Deter
mine the Decision of Britain.
LONDON, Oct. 7. While there is no evi
dence of a rush on the part of the expon
ents of public opinion or of the electorate
to give Joseph Chamberlain's fiscal pro
posals immediate Indorsement, there is
ample proof of a desire to examine ex
haustively his programme and accept or
reject It on Us merits, rather than on
party lines.
It is realized that the attitude of the
colonies probably is the most Important
factor In his scheme, and what they will
say to his statement that they are pre
pared to contribute towards imperial pref
erential trade will largely determine the
ultimate declslon.of this country.
The critics of the ex-Secretary for
the Colonies" declare his whole diag
nosis of the present trade of the United
Kingdom hangs on a statistical blunder
In the comparison of the exports of 1902
with those of 1S72. The latter year was
notoriously phenomenal as an export year
because of the requirements of "Germany
and France after the war between those
two countries, and It is pointed out that
Great Britain furnished the great bulk of
these, and her exports consequently
bounded from $1,153,000,600 in 1871, to $1,2S0,
000.000 In ll72, after which they gradually
receded to the same total as In 1S71. It 13
therefore contended by the critics that
the whole fabric of Mr. Chamberlain's
argument is based on an elementary error
and while his fiscal arithmetic Is
illogical, his premises are hypothetical and
unproved.
It Is anticipated that the colonies will
resent Mr. Chamberlain's idea that their
manufacturing growth should be thwarted
for the benefit of British manufacturers.
On the whole. Mr. Chamberlain's pro
nouncement Is not unfavorably received.
On the Stock Exchange the various de
partments opened with a better all-round
tone. Consols hardened.
Rejoices Over Lyttleton's Selection.
ST. JOHNS, N. F.t Oct 7. The appoint
ment of the Hon. Alfred Lyttleton as
Secretary for the Colonics Is warmly wel
comed here. The new Minister spent a
month In Newfoundland last Summer, be

fairs, visiting tho French shore, and fully

congratulation. x
Shows Movement Is Premature..

ard, a stanch government organ, com
mentinsr on Chamberlain's speech, says:
Altogether his sneech strengthens the
conclusion that the movement has been i
premature, also that the facts which are
held to justify It have been loosely col
lected and only half assimilated."
Banncrmann Is Not Impressed.
LONDON, Oct. 8. Sir Henry Campbell

on Mr. Chamberlain's policy, which Is pub
