BERLIN , April 3. As laid bare by the
emigration bill , which the government has
submitted to the Reichstag , It will hereafter
bb tbe settled policy of the government to
direct the stream of German emigration
elsewhere , than to the United States. Dur
ing the recent cabinet session five out of
elx members present declared themselves In
accord with the alms of the Pan-German
association and tbe colonial party , namely ,
to found In the future , so far as clrcum-
utancra permit , large German colonies of
nn agricultural and Industrial character In
South and Central American countries , whcro
the autonomous and uniform make-up of
Buch colonies will not be politically Inter
fered with. The government wIlTencouragc
and promote as much as porslble , by money
grants and political Intervention .whenever
required , those companies aiming at settling
such colonies.
The first company was organized on
Wednesday at Hamburg , with the title of
Hanseatlc Colonization society. Its capital
Is 1,100,000 marks. This company becomes
the heir of the a-ssets and privileges of the
Hamburg Colonial society of 1S94 , Including
a territory of about 1,700,000 acres ot fer
tile lands In the Brazilian state of Santa
Calnrlna. The company's grant Includes a
railway from San Francisco bay to the Ger
man colonies of Ulumcnau and Jeolnsllle ,
the Brazilian government getting 5 per cent
of the capital required to construct the
rallroaej.
BMPBlioil'S NAVAL PLANS. ,
The Reichstag next fall will be asked foi
npproprlatlons'for the purposeof aiding th (
Rchemo of Admiral Tlcrpltz. who replaces
Admiral von Hollmann. the secretary ot th <
navy , during the letter's absence on slcl
leave. Admiral Tlcrpltz Is the reputed au
thor of the elgantlc naval plans , and It U
practically certain that ho will succeed Vor
' bo retired at'thn close o ,
his leave of absence. This shows that th <
emperor Is determined not to abandon his
naval scheme. The radical papers , however
already declare that the Reichstag will nol
Krant to Admiral Ticrpltz what It rcfusei
to Admiral von Hollmann. His majesty wll
now await until next session , trusting tha
In the meanwhile public opinion will grow
more favorable to his Ideas. His majestj
dined this evening with Admiral von Hell
Jiiann.
The emperor was very Indignant at Barer
von Sttiram's clumsy attempt to Intlmldati
the Reichstag by the use of the impcrla
name and utterances' , and the rather pleasanl
and Intimate relations which had hlthcrtc
existed between Baron von Stumm and hi :
majesty are ended.
Cmpcror William , on Iho anniversary ol
the birth of his grandfather , assembled li
thu room In which the latter died the aides-
de-camp of the old emperor and conferred
on them the right to wear his grandfather' :
monogram on their shoulder straps , declar
ing that ho himself and the heir to the
tltronoould In future wear the luouograir
in memory of the glorious reign.

LONDON , April 3. The strange lite
and death ot Miss Isabella Murphy ,
daughter of the late Daniel T. Mur
phy ot Murphy , rGant & Co. ot San
Francisco , Is much discussed. Ons of her
Bisters , Anlla , la the wife of Sir Charles
Michael Wolneloy , baronet , a Justice of the
peace and deputy lieutenant for Staffordshire ,
and another sister Is the wlfo of Don Flor
ence L. Domlngucz , secretary of the Argen
tine legation In London. Father Smullen , at
whose residence In High Ongar , Eracx , Mla
Murphy died from the effects of alcohol and
narcotics , first met the deceased at the con
vent at Isloworth , where he was chaplain ,
They left the convent at about the same time
and wont to live at Wcsjtgate. After the
lapse of a year Father Smullen returned to
Islcworth , and ho was visited dally by the
deceased. The mother superior eventually
objected to Miss Murphy's vlslto and soon
afterward Father Smullen ceased to be chap
lain of the convent. Father fimullcn and
Mils Murphy afterward lived In the same
house at High Ongar. Mlra Murphy , who
was only about 27 yearn of age , appears tc
have b ° en entirely under Father Smullen's
Influence , and she bequeathed him her for
tune , estimated to amount to $300,000. They
both Indulged Immoderately In alcohol and
Miss Murphy , when she became sick , per-
Blatantly refused to see a doctor , although
she took morphia , prescribed for her by
Father Smullen , for neuralgia and Insomnia.
They visited America together In 1S92.
Father Smullen had charge ot Mlaa Murphy's
check book and business matters and al
though shu > made a will In his favor , as al
ready stated , there was no lawyer present
and the document was witnessed by Father
Smullen's servant. The post mortem exam
ination disproved the existence of Immoral
relations.
A few days before her death the deceased
left Father Smullen's house for her own , be
cause Cardinal Vaughan came to visit the
priest. The cardinal also paid her a visit.
Father Smullen In an Interview denies he
had to leave Islcworth on account of her
visits or that ho bad designs upon her for
tune. Ho further declared that he would not
contest the will , adding that she had been
meet kind to htm In Illness and In other
ways and that her ead death had completely
uppct him.
A representative of the Associated press
saw Cardinal Vaughan on the subject , but
he declined to say anything except that the
stories told were much exaggerated.
I'UEl'AHATIONS FOR A FIGHT.

lit South Africa.
( CopjrlR'.lt , 1S'J7 , by the Associated Tress. )
LONDON , April 3. The preparations
agalnat eventualities In the Transvaal are beIng -
Ing Dtcadlly pushed forward. A representative
of the Associated press has learned from wai
office sources that a general to command the
British forces has been selected and has beer
asked to prepare a plan for the campaigr
against the Boers , Including the number and
description of the troops of different branches
of the service , etc. , which ho Judges will be
npcessary.to bring the mlljtary operations te
a successful conclusion. This general , who 1 :
familiar with African fighting , has replied
that 10,000 British regulars will be sufficient
as ho counts on the 40,000 troops , white and
black , which are already there , while he
doer not consider the Boers , even If able tc
do so , will put 40,000 armed men In the field
and one-half of these , lie believes , will be
required to guard the- tow mi , forts , etc.
In connection with the warlike aspect ol
affairs In Europe and South Africa , It h
significantly announced that Lord Wolsley ,
the Brltlfl'i ccmmnnder-ln-chlef , accompanied
by his alde-do-camp , will soon start for Gib
raltar , In order to Inspect that fortress ,
The details of President Kruger's claim
against Great Britain for Indemnity as a re
sult of the Transvaal raid , are now defi
nitely known. In addition to the. sum ol

expense of the railway and telegraph
companies , burghers , etc. , the Transvaal de
mands 1,000,000 for moral and intellectual
damage. This appears as a separate and ad
ditional Item.
Colonel Francis Rhodes , tbo brother ol
Cecil Rhodes , estimated before tbo parlia
mentary commUslou that the cost of en
gineering the raid was 250,000.

lie Will Hi- turn to Cuun.
WASHINGTON. April 3. It has come to
the knowledge of the State department that
General Julio Sangullly te now at Jackson
ville , Fla. , and that hla followers have given
out the Impression that the general Is about
to bead on expedition to Cuba. Secretary
Sherman was asked what the United States
government would do IP. case this Impres
sion were well founded. . In reply ho t ! d
that In the first place he did not believe
Sangullly would do any such thing. His
reason for this belief was the fact that be
( Secretary Sherman ) held In his possession
n written pledge made by Sangullly In re.
turn tor tbe exercise of thu good offices of
this government In securing his release
from Imprisonment , not to have any connec
tion in any manner wltb the Cuban .troubles ,
Tlio Spanish government also held a similar
pledge , and In addition Sangullly had prom
ised not to return to Cuba without Its con
sent. If Sa'iigullly ' violated the obligations
he had thus a&tumed the State department ,
Mr. Sherman eald , would uot Interfere fur
ther for bis prptcctlon , no matter nbat be
fell him , and It would have nothing further
to do with him ,

LONDON , April 3. The speech of

Ho works at Ottawa , recently , has been
considerably dUcuesed In Catholic circles , A
representative ! of the Associated precs wan
Informed by a high church authority that
Mr. Tarte Is considered as being "almost
without backbone" on the Manitoba question ,
The authority referred to added ; "Had be
been a man of greater courage , the question
could have been nettled long ago. "
Regarding tlio eluteinent attributed to the
conservatives ot Quebec , that Mgr. Del Val ,
Iho papal delegate to Canada , Is powerless to
take up the question ot Interference of the
bUbopa In elections , It U pointed out In
Catholic circles here that Mgr. Del Val will
be unable to.settle the Manitoba tchool ques
tion until after settling th ? question ot the
blehojM' interference In elections , as Ihewe
two ItJBiiee , It in claimed , are really Insepa
rable and the papal delegate has th most
ample powers to settle both ijuetj'.lons.

LONDON , April 3. H Is Just a montl
slnco the so-called concert of the power
threatened the blockade of Crete , which ha
proved qulto Ineffectual , -being contlnuall ;
evaded , and today the anaivhi : 'In Crete am
the confusion In European councils nri
woroo than before. The replies of the par
llamcntary secretary for the foreign office ti
Inquiries on the subject show It to bo by m
means certain that all the powers havi
actually agreed to blockade the Grcel
ports. The latest news Indicates that Franei
and Italy are still adveiue to this course.
The fact Is that the powers' distrust o
each other reduces them to 'Impotence. ' Nom
of them wants a general war , nobody bclni
able to forcseo what Its eventual restil
would be. It Is believed that Russia am
Germany , and perhaps Austria , want a local
Ized war , hoping that Turkey , being vlctorl
ous , will lay Greece at the mercy of Euro
pean dictation. In the meantime the tw <
combatants , as well as the powers , hcsltati
to Incur the odium ot commencing the con
fllct.
Germany's attitude In setting on the othei
powers , while herself abstaining from an ;
actlvo share In the struggle , Is unlversall ;
condemned as being disgraceful diplomat !
betrayal. Russia Is evidently playing he
own game , and while willing to send ti
Crete whatever trcops the other powers sug
gest , hopes that the blockade of Greece wll
Incite the Greeks to hostile action on thi
frontier , something that seems to bo' ex
tremely probable , as the- king of Greeci
stoutly maintains hia original determination
and-tho premier , M. Delyannls , declares tha
nothing will prevent war If the powers per
slst In refusing their cons-ent to the'uhloi
ot Crete and Greece. Russia Is confident tha
Greece will lose the first battle and tha
Bulgaria and Servla will not move cxcep
at Russia's orders.
ASK FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
.Tho ftdnjlralsot the fon-lgn Jlects In Cre
tan waters contlnuo dally asking , for deflnlt
Instructions trom their respective govern
ments. They have urgently advised the ap
polntmont of a Burcgean governor , as the ;
are Incapable of ruling the Island.
It Js a remarkable fact that Colonel "Vas
sos and the Greeks Inspire the greates
sympathy among all tba foreign correspondents
onts , the futile measures ot the power
being dally denounced.
Mr. Gladstone has written another lettc
on Cretan affairs and wltb. reference to th
concert of Europe. Ho says that the attl
tude ot the powers recalls the days of Oas
tlorcagh and Netternlcs , when Greece wa ;
unable to buy armaments In Europe ci
credit , while Turkey had no difficulty what
ever In doing so.
It is statoJ that Greece will try to rats
an Internal loan of 1,000,000.
The reports that Greek Insurgents have al
ready crossed the Macedonian frontier tun
out to bo Incorrect.
A well Informed diplomat at Vienna deClares
Clares that the powers are determined ti
maintain the blockade of Greece if that na
tlon declares war and thus deprive her of 0111
of her mcst formidable means of attack.
A report from Athens says that a son o
Admiral Harris , the British commander li
Cretan waters , has arrived there as a vol
unteer.
It Is understood' that Russia has stoppet
Turkey's negotiations to sell the Island ol
Crete to Grceco by a threat to occupy Ana

OANEA , Crete , April 3. Admiral Cane-
varo , the Italian admiral , In command of the
fleets of the powers , yesterday authorized
the Insurgents and their families to quit
the Akrotlrl peninsula and proceed Inland ,
where they would bo In a better position
to obtain food supplies than In the heights
of Akrotlrl. Confiding In this authoriza
tion , the Insurgents and their famllks , driv
ing their cattle , descended from the heights
of Akrotirl , with the Intention of moving
Inland. As soon as they reached the plain ,
however , flre was op ned upon them at fi.
range of 200 yards by 2,000 Bashl bazouks.
The Turkish force was largely composed
of refugees from the garrison at Sellno , who ,
In splto of the promise made to the repre
sentatives of the powers , have been re
armed by the Turkish governor , As soon
as the Bashl bazouks began firing on the
Insurgents the latter returned the flro and
killed Bomo of their assailants.
The International forces did not take a
stop to prevent this collision , wiflch might
have resulted In the massacre of large num
bers of women and children , to say nothing
of the Insurgents , who had moved from a
practically Impregnable position down to an
exposed plain , firm In the belief that the
foreign admirals bad guaranteed them a
eafe passage across the plains to the hills
Inland , where the Bashl bazouks would not
dare to follow them. The foreign war ships
In Suda bay did not flro a shot to check the
onslaught , although It was Impocslblo for
the ofllcera to be Ignorant of the fact that
fighting was In progress around the iftfld
which bad left the fastnesses of Akrotlrl , to
all Intents and purposes under the guaranty
of the great powers of IJurope , Finally ,
when It was no longer possible to Ignore the
attack ot the Bashl bazouks , orders were
cent to tbo International forces ashore to
proceed to the disarmament of the Turks.
These Instructions , however , were sent too
late to be of avail.
After the lighting , a force of British Bailers
ors was landed to hold the Mussulmans In
check. The latter are known to have lost
heavily , and already fifty killed and wounded
bave been brought bere. All the Mutsul-
rnans , on reaching the fortified Hats out-
tide the town , coming back Jrotn the fight ,
were dlnrmcd by the 'Itallnn "tailors and

was alleviated ! by the promise. * of both Tur

The uncertainty and the vacillation of the
liberal chiefs on the Cretan question hltherte
hay been so far overcome by the pcrtlnaclotc
insistence of Mr. Labotichcro and the ad
vanced section that Sir William had to dc
this. The leaders of the unionists for thcli
part are mcst anxious to meet a vote of cen
sure , because they are sure of defeating II
by their own undivided strength , together
with the support of half a dozen liberals whc
agree with Lord Roscbery In his unqualified
approval of Lord Salisbury's action. Thin ap
proval by a big majority will not only re
habilitate the ministers In the eyes of the
country for past proceedings , but will
( strengthen tbclr hands In pursuing their own
line , regardless of radical protests. Sir Wil
liam Harcourt has been deterred from mov
ing a vote of censure sotfar , despite the
provocation of the challenges of Mr. Balfour ,
by knowledge of this fact , but his radical
followers have now badgered him Into the
undertaking already mentioned.
MAKES IT A FAMILY AFFAIR.
Even should the Cretan trouble not rcault
%
In war , It will vbryprobably cause estrange
ments , between members of the principal
European" royal families. It Is currently re
ported" now In political and diplomatic clr-
cloo here that In the psst fortnight Qucsn
Victoria has been especially active In bchall
of Greece , being Influenced In that direction
by 'Empress Frederick , who | n turn Is In-
Jtyfs'e'd ' for tie | Greek royal family on ac-
pupi.pf her daughter , the duchess of Sparta :
The German emperor deeply resonta the -In-
tcrferoncs of his English mother , and .If. Ic
said that ho hao had very angry corre
spondence with her and his sister , the wife
of the crown prince of Greece , who hat
warmly upbraided him for his antagonism tc
the causa with which her husband's family
Is Identified" .
Then , on the other side , tbo princess ol
Wales and the king- and queen of Denmark ,
King George's sister and parents , have been
energetically Interceding with the czar In
the Interest of the king of Greece. Dut It I ;
declared that the czar , while personally de
sirous of aiding Greece , and especially Prince
George , who saved his life In Japan , finds
It Impossible to resist the fixed policy of Ms
advisers except ! at the rlak of a crisis which
ho hesitates to provoke. The czar'a royal
relatives , therefore , are as angry with him
for his supine acqulcsenco In a Turkophlle
policy toward not only his own blood rela-
tlona but against a people professing the
religion of which he claims to be the head ,
as they are at the German emperor for his
actlvo antagonism.
CZAR FAVORED BY ENGLAND.
When the present czar's father died ha
left bonds valued at 170,000 ( $850,000) ) , deposited -
posited In the Dank of England , which In
the ordinary course should h.ave paid about
$50,000 death duty to the British treasury ,
but the Russian minister applied officially to
Lord Roaebery , then the foreign secretary ,
for exemption from duty for the czar's per
sonality In this country. Sir William liar-
court , as chancellor of the exchequer , as-
eented after the matter had been discussed
by the cabinet , although he personally woa
averse to making this exception. The cab
inet really was Induced to take that course
by Lord Roscbery on the representation that
a refusal might Jeopardize the Initiation of
better relations between the two nations.
Though this arrangement was effected two
years ago , It was only discovered accidentally
this week by Mr. Gibson Bowles , in the dis
charge of hie duty as a member of the public
accounts committee at the House of Com
mons. Further Investigation establishes the
fact that the exemption made for the Rus
sian emperor Is a new precedent , for when
on the death of the last king of Portugal his
government applied for a similar concession
on his English personality It was refused.
The czar's ' case will bo dlscuescd In Parlia
ment on motion of Mr , Labouchcro , whose
hostility to the exemption la not modified by
the circumstance that was made at tbo In
stigation of hla bete noire , Lord Rosebcry.
OLD GLORY WILL PROTECT THEM.
Referring to an allegation made In a letter
to the Times that the powers haveno right
to blockade Athens to foreign ships when war
with Greece has not been declared , the Lon
don'Chronicle today repeats its advice to
American shipowners to Ignore the blockade ,
"Let the friends of Greece arrange with
ehlps carrying the American flag , " It says ,
"to defy both the Cretan and Athenian
blockade , and let us ECO what the powers will
Jo when they are confronted wltb a power ,
3tio of the most powerful In the world , they
cannot bully with Impunity , The State de
partment In Washington has reserved Its
right to nay , as It ban always eald before ,
that against Its flag In tlmo of peace such a
Blockade Is nothing but an act of piracy ,
Insurance rates on an American steamer
which would boldly carry food to Crete or
ordinary merchandise to Athens , should not ,
10 lon/oa law Is law , bo high. Let the
Jlockado be openly defied and let these
: rowned lawbreakers bs faced with the con-
lequences of their own contempt for any law
Jut that of all ruffians the law of force.
"America owes civilization a debt for her
proceedings over the arbitration treaty. She
las a cUancs to stand for freedom and right ,
tnd we shall be much surprised If the now
iresldent would uot gladly take It. "

LONDON , April 3. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The World's
fashion correspondent furnishes the follow
ing btory , with more definite details OB to
the persons concerned than I care to send
before the matter comes Into court , and
which I therefore omitted :
A society Hcutulnl which la coming out In
Mny will nrouse n Kreiit Jcnl of attention ,
us nil the people In It are so well known. .
There Is u rich young man who hns nboul
20,000 a yenr , wlio Is bringing nn notion
iinnlnst a popular young nobleman < uul de
clares that he was Induced to sign two
paper * without having1 any Idta us tc
their contents. Ho believed , In fnct , so he
say * , that he was simply witnessing some
culinary deeds and asserts he was horrified
when he discovered that by signing he had
made himself liable for two largo sitms of
n.cney , thu smallest of which wr.s 13,000.
The youns nobleman declares that this la
a , libel , and so the matter must stand until
It Is threshed out thoroughly In court.
In the meantime , the young nobleman Is ,
to use modern phraseology , quite "stone
broke- , " and his father Is paying oft some
of his liabilities on the understanding that
ho will henceforth live abroad. The whole
trouble seems to lie In the fact that society
people here , however poor , are never con
tent unless they arc quite In the swim , and
to be In the swim costs soma thousands u
year , even when you have a heap of rich
frlendj ami urc made much of because you
uro smart.
Mr. Astor seems to bo dHermlned to mnko
at least an advertising success of his after
noon publication , The Pall Mall Gazette. Ho
Is printing -under the appearance of contri
butions by Autoclijs flagrant lines of puffs
of the broadest character of London res
taurants. Theguejtreportcr Is ah\ay
represented as a flighty noblewoman or an
jVmerlcaa lady , and , . Invariably , a gourmands.
Yet the Gazette constantly abuses American
newspapers for lack of dignity.
UOT ABOUT SPORT.
The Dally Mall prints a story that some
London sportsmen , dlngustcd that the big
game has been nearly all killed off In Africa
and India , "have In contemplation crossing
the Atlantic early in the autumn this year
to try their hand at shooting one of the
flest-fst and wariest of big game , the wild
horse. It Is estimated here that there are
more than 2,003,000 wild horses In the
Rocky Mountain ranges , and that they have
become a terrible nuisance , so that the killIng -
Ing of thorn Is a great benefit to Utah , as
the slaughter of rabbits Is to Australia , "
and so on , for half a column more.
If the United States 'congress can pit a
team of chess players anything above the
average against the House of Commons team
In the projected cable tournament , the for
mer may feel pretty confident of the result
of the contest. The two best House of Com
mon players are John Howard Parnell and
Horace Plunkett , both of whom , by tha
way , were long residents In the United
States. Qnly two weeks back a elites tour
nament took place between seven members
of the house and aeven parliamentary Jour
nalists , In which the latter were defeated
by four games to two , one game b-lng
drawn. As there are only about twenty
skilled chess players among the parlia
mentary Journallats as against 150 among
the members , the result of this tournament
seems to Indicate that the chess play among
the latter Is not exceptionally high.
SOME PURELY PERSONAL GOSSIP.
The Mall ( newspaper ) Is booming halt
satirically , but dally , Mrs. Bradley Martin
as the future leader of London society , re
turning from her Now York triumph ,
I expect shortly to have an engagement
to announce which will Interest both sides
of the Atlantic In an unusual way , as this
time , by way of variety , the man Is an
American and the woman English ,
Captain Cowlet has gone home , and there.
Is much Interest as to who will succeed him
as naval attache to the American cmbaeay
here. The position of military attache Is
also still unfilled. Mrs. Cowles , formerly
Miss Roosevelt , and sister of the police com
missioner , will sail on the St. Paul April 24.
Mrs. George Curzon spends euch of her
time as she spares from listening to her
husband's efforts to answer harrying ques
tions In Parliament on Cietc , at Lady Henry
Somerset's beautiful house at Relgate , which
the Curzons have taken.
Lady Naylor Lsyland seenia to have re
covered her social position , which was quite
lost for a tlmo after her husband's desertion
of the conservative party. She has been
present at about every reception to royalty
it Cannes or Monte Carlo ,
Hon. Klla Scarlett , the elder sister of
roung Lord Ablnger , and daughter of former
Mlsa Magruder of the United .States , has
aegun to study surgery at the London hos
pital.
The will of John Dlddulph Martin , the
ranker who married Mrs. Victoria Wood-
lull and lived In splendid style at Hyde
[ 'ark Gate , has not been presented for pro-
jate , but ho undoubtedly left the bulk of
its great fortune to his widow. She still
idlta a magazine of very broad tendencies.
L/ady Cook , her tlstcr , formerly Tennlo

This ticket was nominated by the repub
licans of Omaha at the convention 'held ' In.
the Board of Trade rooms last night. Ttio
proceedings were uneventful , except the con
tests for the mayoralty and tax commls-
eloner , the personnel of the remainder ot
the ticket being easily detormlnoJ. Franlc
E. Moores was nominated for 'mayor after a
clcso.and exciting struggle , \vhlch proir.'lsed
to result In a prolonged deadlock until the
fourth ballot , when the Third ward went
from -Broatch to Moores and made him
their man. The longest light was over ( ho
tax commlssloncTshlp and It was won by
Fred Sackett , who had apparently dropped
out of the race on 1Kb' sucond ballot. Aaldo
from such confusion as 'was1 unavoidable *
from the Inadequate otzc of ttlo hall aud
the consequent crowding of tbo delegates ,
the conventlcin was devoid of the ohjectloa-
able features of sorao poHtlcal gatherings.
The convention was called to order
promptly at 7:30 : o'clock by Chairman E. P.
Davis of the City Central committee , but
It required some tlmo to get tbo delegates
scaled In the closely-ciowded hall. Till a
was finally accomplished and the prelim
inary proceedings wcro quickly completed.
Chairman Davis announced that ho would
leave the selection of a temporary chair
man to the convention.
A. S. Churchill nominated B. F. Thomaf.
of the Seventh ward and ho was named
without opposition. Ho excused hlmeelt
from a speech , and George II. Hcas was
made temporary secretary.
On motion of Harry Urome the delegates
were declared seated In tha absenco"of con
tests , and Jchn C. Wharton moved that the
temporary organization 'be ' made permanent.
This was carried by a u.ianlmous vote.
ALL HEADY FOR TUB START.
Louis Bcrka moved that all nominating
speeches 'bo barred and the convention pro
ceed to ballot -Informally for mayor. Harry
Brorao amended to make It a formal ballot ,
and the amendment prevailed.
The roll was called and the First ward
raised tha flrbt cheer by casting Its solid vote
for Frank E. Moorca. Ona delegate protested
and his vote was changed to Broatch.
The Second ward cast nine for Broatch ,
but E. M. Stenbcrg Insisted on his right la
cast his vote for Moorus. This made It nlno
apiece.
The Third ward cast Bsven for Broatch and
two for Moores and a poll ruvcaled no change.
The Fourth ward cast Its full vote for
Moores and the Fifth gave Broatch' , 7 ;
Moores , 2.
The Sixth gave Moores eight of Its nlno
votes and th9 Seventh went for Chaffee. The
Eighth gave Broatch one and Moores eight ,
and the Ninth , Broatch six ; Monrce , one ;
Akin , one ; 'Saundcrs , one.
The result was : Broatch , 33 ; Moores , 30 ;
Chaffco , 10 ; Saundcrs , 1 ; Akin , 1 ,
There wns no choice and another ballot
was ordered. There was no change except
ono vote from Moorcs to Sflundcru In the
Fifth , and one from Akin to Saunders In the
Ninth.
On the third ballot Broatch gained ono of
Saundcrn' votcn In the Ninth ward , and th
count stood : Rroatch , 31 ; Moores , 35 ; Chat-
fee , 11 ; Saunders , 1 , ,
WHERE THE BREAK CAME.
On the next ballot tlio Third ward changed
five votes from Broatch to Moores and tha
enthusiasm of his followers ran riot In pro
longed cheers. The First , Eighth and Ninth
changed a vote apiece In the same direction
ind the fight was won. Two or three other
lelegates hastened to fall Into the band *
ivagon and the count was : Moores , 45J
[ Iroatch , 20 ; Chaffed , S ; Saundcre , 1.
John C , Wharton proposed three cheers
Tor Mnorcs and they wer ? given with a will ,
while the Broatch delegates Bat ullent la
: helr Beats.
Mr , Moorcs was led to the platform and
cturned tlianka In hla characteristic man-
ler. Ho 'added that this eUctlon was mord
: han a local affair , as this was ( ho first elee-
lon that Imd , occurred In Nebraska slnco the
ituto had eono for Bryan , and tha eyes of tha
, vholo country were on Omaha to sc ? the flret
itep taken toward the redemption ot th *
itatc.
I. R , Andrews then moved that the noml-
latlon of Mr. Moored lie made unanimous ,
rho motion prevailed , the Broatch and
; haffeo delegations remaining ullent.
There were calls for Broatch and Chaffeo
iut neither of them appeared and notnlna-
loim for comptroller were called for.
Jo'mVliorton ' } moved that John N.
