TWO WAYS TO LAND JOB Kccount of Votes or Habeas Corims IVocecdings Xilit ' cconipUsli Trick, Though Legal Loopholes May Thwart Little Game. NKW yORK. Jan. 10. (Specia 1.) Wil liam R. Hearst, defeated as Governor, lias more than an even chance of landing Ine consolation prize of the Mayoralty, utid already his faithful followers are liscussins what- jobs they will take it" i hev are urgred to do so. There are two ways by which the title t'f the Mayor's office can bo tested-hy a rocount or by quo warranto proceedings. ' .Moth methods were denied to HearKt last year, but he will get them now, probably within n. few weeks. Bills providing; for a recount of tlm ballots cast in November, have been Introduced in both the Assembly and Senate, and the indications are that they will be passed by practically a unanimous vote. governor Huphcs has recommended It in his message, and the en tire , Tammany 4c legation." th bulk of ttie minority ut Albany; ill he lined up behind the Re- mrblicain executive. McClellan is flghtinjr desperately to pre vent any action, but can command but iw supiH)rtrrs. in f;un, it would surprise lift on if both RopublU-aus and Democrats made the i 1 1 a. jwrty measure and pushed J t th rougrh by unit nlm f u s vote. ' Will rush FrwcrUiiisrs, In the meantime Attorney-General Jack son, after inviting Mr. Hearst to resub mit hi application for leave to institute quo warranto proceedingis, received tho pa.pers, pet the hearing for the earliest possible date, arid there is no doubt hut that ho will sraiu the prayer of tho peti tioner. This will Rive Hearst an opportunity to Jittaek McClellan in two ways, simul taneously, and should, and doubtless will, afford him proat Joy and satisfaction. With the recount bill a law, it Is figured that tho votes could be scrutin ized and totalled, and Hearst,' If ho In shown to have a majority, bo Installed Ji of nee by Scptembur or October. On the other hand, tne quo warranto proceedings would probably be drawn out until the expiration of the Mayor's term, which ends on Oeeember 31. 1 09. Tho method of procedure under the two systems. Is interesting:, and but little understood by the general public. With the recount bill a law. William Tt.- Hearst would file a petition In the Supremo Court, alles'nsr across frauds and errors in the vote as returned, and (lt-mamllng that the ballots b recount- 'fl. With the application he would be -ompeJled : to lle a. bond, guaranteeing the payment of costs In case the new wmi demonstrated that McClellan had been legally elected to the office in . A" JiHTloe -oT "trr- Siiprir-mp Court wonld then be appointed to take up the canvass. Hi M)uW um -OS many 6llw -ucwlataniii be saw Ut. and the count of a score.

Quo warranto proceedings, on the other nana, are cumbersome and long-drawn ut. With the1 approval of the Attorney- tlenerftl. Mr. Hearst would apply to the courts for n exanifnation of the ballots in certain boxes, where he would allege thai fraud had boon committed. All Boxes In t Jjo ltecount. When the proceedings be&fn his oppon- ent has the ripht to demand tliat other boxes, not mentioned by the petitioner, be opened, and that would undoubtedly mean that every one of the 1U4S boxes in the Greater City, would be dragged into 'unit " . : , I "nrt it tho )tw. t li r- unhappy, judjare "r rpferop h"l'orf whom the matter Is ln-n rd must r-rssoiut 1 1 v pass upon each find every ballot, And the lawyers on both sides are entitle,! to indulsre in oratory every time till? fate of a vote Is decided. Ther.. were cast at the Mayoralty I'K'tiun of DUJ more than GOO. .100 bal- lots. Nobody believes that a referee could pass upon more than 1O0O of these - day. This would tiiRe 600 days, and tiEurin8 on 300 working "days a year, which is probably excessive, the very test tliiit the referee could do would " be to render his decision by February. 1 !)!. This could be followed hy applications to the Appelate Divi sion and the Court of Appeals, which would easily keep McClellan in office until his term of ofrlec had expired. And then, of course, an entirely new Mayor would bo 'seated in th Citv Hall, ;mj neither McClellan or Hearst" Would havo anv rirht there. Murphy has ordered -tho Tammany men ie controls, who comprise nearly the en- tl.fc delegation to "shout for the recount bill, work for H and vote for it." The Tammany boss hates McClftllan more every day, and will do everything: lie can to prove that fraud was com mitted by the men -whom he (Murphy) personally directed. It is a peculiar situa tion when a man is willing to expose how he violated the law, just to have revenge upon a former political protege who Is now hut moat bitter enemr. Ital lot.-s .rc I I The 'ballots cast at the 1S05 election are still preserved by order of the courts. They are carefully locked up in st crape warehouses, and are guarded night and day by a. private police force of 25 men employed by William Randolph Hearst Day anil night these men are on duty to see that nobody tampers with the precIout bits of paper that bear testimony to who was elected Mayor. In the meantime the Democrats all over the state are fighting hltterly. McClellan has come out in an interview and stated that Murphy Is unworthy of confidence. Murphy replies in a si&ned statement that the Mayor Is a "liar,!, a-'hypocrite," a 'weakllng.aml "assumes to have a virtue that he does not possess. The Democratic state committee, which had prepared to otitst Senator McCarren from membership,; has teen enjoined by the courts, and McCarren Bays sarcastic things about- his enemies.

"And the national convention is only IS months away." There is plenty of trouble afoot now. but with Hearst as aiayor there would probably be something else doing. The only thins that is clear m th-s present situation Is that Hearst-' will throw every McClellan man out ol office If he gets a chance. But the unsolved problem is. will he recognize the Tammany organization, or will be put the faithful Independence league men tsuch of them as are still faithful!, upon guard? And nobody here knows the answer. UI5U LEADS THEM ILL MIXT IMliECTOR KSTIMATES COLD I'llOIH Tl() l'OI; 1 o . Northern Kldnradn May Have au Output of ?e 1,000.000 of the Yellow Metal. WASHINGTON. Jan.

IMO NEWS OF THE PONCE l-ars Are Now Kutertalnod That the Steamer Is Lost. NEW YORK. Jan. 1. The steamship Ponce, of the New York & Porto Xtico Steamship Xine, which sailed from Fonce, Porto Rico, December 2fi, and was due at this port on January 1. is still mlrwiiiK. and the belief that the vessel's delay was due to some mechanical accident is giving away to the fear that she la lost. She was last spoken to December 2S. by the ship Shenandoah, elnco which time nothing has been seen or neard of her. The most disquieting report that has reached here today was a message from Governor Wlnthrop. of "Porto Rico, who says the steamer Caracas reported sight- lng a derelict 150 teet long near the point where the Ponce was sighted by the Shenandoah. December 28. The dimensions of the reported derelict. however, do not agree' with the descrip- tion or the Fonce, which is 37 feet long. SAVANNA H, Ga.. Jan. .

Jan. lO.Memhei's of the California delegation, in discussing the Intention of Japan to abandon the proposed trip of the training squadron to the Pacific Coast on account of the anti-Japanese agitation, expressed the opinion that San Francisco would have extended a welcome to the fleet. Repre sentative Kahn, of San Francisco, sug seated that the action ot the Tokio gov ernment may have been on advice of tho Japanese Consul-General at San PTail- ciaco. , "I think.'' aid Mr. Kahn. "that I know the people of California well enousrh to a- that the great mass of tile popula tion would resent any harm that niight be (lonfi to thfi Mikado's seamen should they visit San Kranclsco. It may l-e pos sible that the Japanese Consul ot San Francisco nan advised his government that as a precautionary measure It would perhaps bo advisable not to allow the squadron to -visit the J?acinc Coast until the school controversy had been settled. While the people of California are op posed to the wholesale importation of Japanese coolies, we respect the rights of the Japanese who' are now here, and the training squadron would certainly Ce os safe in the Bay of San Francisco ' as it would be in a home port." Mr. Maaanao Hanihira, second secretary j of tho Japanese limbassy, tonight said that Viscount Aoki, the Japanese Ambas sador to the United States, has, not been officially notified of the .Toklo govern- ment decision not to allow the training squadron to - proceed to San tYttnclaco. ."Tha visit of a Japanese fleet to the Facilic Coast at this time," said Mr. Hanihira, "might occasion a renewal of the controversy, and as the Japanese gov ernment is- desirous of matntaining the present cordial relations with this Gov ernment, it has been considering for sev eral weeks the advisability of postponing the vi.sit of the fleet to the Pacific Coaot, The Japanese Consul at San Francifico has made no report to the Ambassador. though it is possible that he may have communicated directly with Tokio." Mr. Hanihira, in response to an In quiry, stated moet positively that the question of the fleet or the Japanese sea- men being in any danger In San Fran- Cisco had not been considered or even sueested at the ri 1 !. mh-. and declared, that he otI not believe chat Ills home government entertained any such fears, ' CO CUTS SETTLED Dccblons Hold That Japans Can. not Bocome Citizens; WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. NaturalizaUon authorities Here say the question of whether Japanese subjects can become citizens of the Xnited States already has been settled adversely by the CJircutt Courts in the United States, which have declared that, not being either white per sons or persons of African nativity, they are not entitled to that privilege. The question, it Is said, has never been taken to the Supreme Court ot the United States. The decisions of the Circuit Courts in construing the law on this sub ject have been accepted by the naturaliza tion officials as final. Heretofore either through misconstrue- tion of the low or through ignorance. Japanese in some cases have been allowed to file declarations of intention to become citizens, strict orders have been given in this matter, and an effort will Vie made to have this practice stopped.

Several Jap anese yesterday who applied to the local Federal authorities to be allowed to take the preliminary steps toward becoming Citizens of the United States have been advised to wait until the question of Jap anese naturalization shall have been set tled, the authorities holding that the Jap- anese come under the class of the Mon- golian race. and. therefore, are deprived of the right of becoming citizens of the United States under the new naturaliza tion law.' Until such time as the question Is settled the ideal authorities will not accept thedeclarations or the application for final papers of any Japanese who made hia declaration under the old nat- uraiization laws.
