NEW YORK DEMUCHATS
Name A. A. Van Wyck for Gov-
eruor, Danforth for Second Place
FAGTIO NS WAR FIERGELY
Croker Shown to Be the Boss of the State
Democracy. fiill‘ l’lacated by Selection
0! the Chairman of the State Commit-
aee‘.
Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 30.—An agree-
ment was quickly reached yesterday
between the leaders of the Democratic
delegates to the state convention here
at a conference held before the conven-
tion assembled, and at 10.45 o’clock the
whole state ticket was authoritatively
announced as follows:
For Governor—Augusths Van Wyck
of Kings.
”For Lieutenant Governor—Elliot Dan-
forth of Chenango.
For Secretary of State—George W.
Batten of Niagara.
For Comptroller—Edward S.
ter of Dutchess.
For Attorney, General—Thomas
Conway of Clinton.
For State Engineer and Surveyor—
Martin Schenck of Rensselaer.
For State Treasurer—E. B. Norris of
Wayne.
{After the announcement of the ticket
had been made from Mr. Croker’ s room,
where the conference was held, news
was given out that Frank Campbell of
Bath had been selected as chairman of
the state committee to be chosen by
the convention yesterday afternoon.
Campbell is a Hill man, and his selec-
tion is a concession to Hill, who, not—
withstanding his reputed success over
Croker in the makeup of the committee
on credentials and platform Wednes-
day, fares rather badly on the state
ticket. There are three Hill men on the
ticket, Batten, Norris and Danforth,
but the Croker-Murphy combination
has very much the best of it.
Atwa-
F.
JUDGE A. A. VAN WYCK.
After the conference it was general-
ly conceded that Croker had proved
himself to be the real boss of the De-
mocracy of New York state. It was
said, too, that the nomination of Judge
Van Wyck would unite Tammany and
the Kings County Democracy in closer
bonds, and make the united Democracy
of the Greater New York the control-
ling poawer in state conventions for
years to come. When the ticket had
been announced by Croker, the various
, candidates at once closed their head-
quarters and they and the delegates
started for convention hall to ratify
the work done in Croker’s room.
The ticket raised a storm of protests
from the friends of candidates who had
been rejected. Colonel John A. Gaynor
of Syracuse expressed a general feel-
ing when he said:
“The Van Wyck family seems to be
running things. They ought to have
hunted up four or five more Van
Wycks for place on the ticket.”
Ex-Senator Hil remained in his room
until nearly noon consulting with his
lieutenants. It was said that he con-
sented to the nomination of Van Wyck
only after Croker told him that he must
consent, or have a fight on the floor
of the convention. Hill was not in a
position to undertake a fight, so he
yielded.
Elliot Danforth, it was learned, at
first positively refused to take second
place on the ticket, and asked Hill to
let him fight it out in the convention,
but, at the last moment, after a con-
ference with Hill, he decided to accept
what was offered to him. Then it was
announced that the ticket, as given
above, would be nominated by accla-
mation.
The McGuire and Stanchfield men
started for the convention in an ugly
humor, but no threats of an outbreak
were made.
ConVention Called to Order.
It was precisely 12.24 oclock when
the gavel fell and the‘buzz of conversa-
tion ceased. It interrupted also a splen-
did ovation on the part of the conven-
tion to D. B. Hill.
The ovation to. Hill was the most en-
thusiastic of the morning.
Reports of committeees were in order
and Corporation Counsel Whalen of
New York presented the report of the
credentials committee and at once
moved the previous question, which
precluded debate, and the conclusions
of the committee were agreed to unan—
imously.
This showed at the outset that the
harmony programme was going to
prevail.
The report 'of the committee on per-
manent organization was next read,
and Frederick C. Schraub of Lowville
named for permanent chairman.
He was escorted to the chair by Cap-
tain William A. Chanler, who was
heartily appplauded, and Samuel J.
Tilden.
Chairman Schraub’s speech created
hearty enthusiasm and was cheered
frequently during its delivery.
The platfo1m criticises President Mc-
Kinley, calls for rigid investigation of
war scandals, demands the repeal of
the Raines law and the New York elec-
tions law,a and favors economy in pub-
lic expeditions.
More Victories for Sloan.
London, Sept. 30,—Tod Sloan rode

ARMY AND NAVY’l-REPORTS. _-
Unusual Interest Attached to the Forth-1
coming Publications.
Washington, Sept. 30.—The annual
reports of bureau chiefs in the war and
navy departments are being submit-
ted. They promise to be the most in-
teresting presented in many‘ years.
In the navy they will deal largely
with demonstrations of the war. The
report of Engineer-in~Chief Melville
will be especially interesting, not only .
from a technical point of view, but to
the layman as well.
He will deal with the personnel ques-
tion in his usual vigorous style, and
will urge the prompt passage of the bill
which amalgamates the line and en-
gineer corps.
The report of Chief Constructor Hich-
born will give an account of the new
ships bought during the war; that of
Paymaster General Stewart will con-
tain an important statement of the
finances of the service during the war;
that of Civil Engineer Endicott will
present some important suggestions re-
garding dry docks and coaling stations;
that of Surgeon General Van Reyfen
will render an account of the medical
Work during the war, and include im-
portant papers by navy surgeons.
The army reports will be somewhat
discounted by the special reports of
officers in the field. General Gillespie
submitted a report as commanding gen-
eral of the department of the East,
and makes recommendations in regard
to troops and the protection of the
coast.
The reports of other department com-
manders will be of little interest.
staff officers in the field will make their
usual annual reports, which are ex-
pected to be interesting especially those
of inspector generals and judge advo-
cates.
The most readable of the yearly re—
ports has always been that of Inspec-
tor General Breckinridge. This year
the report will be signed by the act-
ing head of the corps as General Breck—
inridge is commanding troops in the
field.
General Miles’s reports will include
the reports of his officers in Porto
Rico.

and by the Danish law of succession,
of July 31,1853. He succeeded to tl1':
throne on the death of King Fredeiimr
VII, on November 15, 1863.

DEATH OF HON. THOMAS F. BAYARD
Au Eventful Life Closed After 3 Lou:
Lingering Illness. l
Dedham, Mass, Sept. 29.—Thomas F. '
Bayard died at 4.30 p. m. last night. I,
Thomas Francis Bayard was a dis- ’
tinguished member of an eminent fam« l
ily. Since long before the Revolution-
ary war the Byards have been conspic-
uous in the country’s history as patri-
1 ots and statesmen, and many acquired ,
- national fame as jurists.
Thomas Francis Bayard was born in
Wilmington, Del, on October 29, 1828,
and was a younger son. In his thir-
teenth year he entered school at Flush-
ing, L. I., where he stayed two years.
Having a liking for his father’s pro-
fession—that of law—he became a stu-
dent and was admitted to the bar in
1851. In 1853 \he was appointed United
States district attorney for Delaware,
but resigneddn the following year. In
1855 Mr. Bayard removed to Philadel-
phia, where he formed a legal copart-
nership with William Shippen. This
connection lasted five years, being ter-
minated by the death of Mr. Shippen.
Mr. Bayard, on the death of his part-
ner, once more returned to Wilming-
ton, where he was needed by his fath-
er, who was then engrossed with pub-
lic duties.
\Vanted to Be President;
Senator Bayard took an active part
in the discussions concerning the pres-
idential election in 1876, and was an ad-
vocate and subsequently a member of
the electoral commission. In October,
1856, Senator Bayard married Louisa,
daughter of Josiah Lee, a Baltimore
banker. Twelve children were the re-
sult of that union. :1 1877 Senator Bay-
ard received the honorary degree of
LL. D. from Harvard College.
When the Democratic National con-
vention was held in 1880 his friends ral-
lied in force to. procure his nomination
for the presidency, and such was their
strength that on the first ballot he
stood next to Hancock, who was elected
on the second. In the Democratic con-
vention of 1884 at which Mr. Cleveland
was nominated, Mr. Bayard received
the next largest vote to the successful
candidate on the two ballots which
were taken.
He was made secretary of state by
Cleveland, and in March, 1893, he was
appointed ambassador to the court of
St. James, and' served during Mr.
Cleveland’s second term.
ARMS FOR THE FILIPINOSF
A Trader “'ho Insists iI‘hat Germany is
Supplying The“).
San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 29.—The
Post reiterates its former stories re-
garding the supplying of arms to the
Filipinos by the German government
and is positive that its authority is
abzsolutely correct. ‘
The Post publishes an interview
with its informant in which he says
that he is not in a position to tell the
full story for the reason that he is fi-
nancially interested in the plot and
has actually been a party to the scheme
and says that he is interested in.the
German Philippine trade to the extent
of nearly a million dollars and that for
fifteen years Germany has been work-
ing among the insurgents for her own
benefit, and he also told the Post that
there would never have been a revo-
lution had it not been for the German
government.
Continuing, he says: “When the in-
surgent army is fully armed and equip- l
ped and drilled, trouble will commence.
America’s safety lies in disarming the
insurgents as a move toward the re-
storation of peace.”
TO DEFINE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
American Commissloners Propose Submi - .
sion of the Question to Experts.
Quebec, Sept. 29,—The deliberations
of the international conference will pro-
duce at least one tangible result. The
Alaska boundary question is in a fair
way of settlement. An offer has been
made by the Americans. It is precise
and definite. In accordance with in-
structions from President McKinley,
the United States commissioners have
suggested that the delimitation be left
to experts appointed by both coun-
tries. Provision is also made for a ref-
erence. '
The Americans have submitted the
names of the Emperor of Germany,
the King of Norway and the King of
Italy as the personnel of the tribunal.
The arbitrators in the first instance
will include the chief justices of the
United 'States and Canada.
The offer is likely to be accepted. It
was considered by the Canadian pleni-
potentiaries yesterday morning before
the commission met at 11 o’clock.
Flag Hauled Down at M'anila.
Washington, Sept. 29.—The royal
Spanish ensign that was hauled down
from the governor’s palace in Manila
after the surrender of the city, has
been received at the navy department
from Admiral Dewey.
The admiral also sent a small Span-
ish flag, taken from the captured gun—
boat Cebu. The flag from the govern-
or’s palace was large enough nearly
to cover the floor of the spacious room
occupied by Captain Crowninshield,
chief of the bureau of navigation, to
whom the trophy was officially deliv-
ered.
Powder Explosion at St. Louis.
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 29.—An explo-
sion' of powder in the basement of a
four—story building at No. 410. North
Fourth Street, occupied by C. and Ti".
McLain, fishing tackle and sporting
goods, blew out the front of the struc-
ture yesterday and set the building on
fire.
Two women jumped from the third
story and were fatally injuied.
Bohlly, a fireman of Company No. 15,
was severely out about the head by
falling glass.
Post-Office Burglars Caught
Cleveland, 0., Sept. 29.—A dispatch
from Blissfield, Mich, says: “The sher-
iff of Lenawee‘county and his deputies
last night, after a hard struggle, sur-
rounded and captured three of the bur- .
glars who robbed the postoflice Sunday
night last, and shot and killed Samuel
Rothf-ush.
