Not anil! Utc Ut evening had all been provided for. It was impossible for them to get quarter In any one hotel, and nearly ail of the Broadway hostelriea' had' some of the Pitts-burg delegates on their registers, It Is expected that before morning fully 15.000 will have arrived In the city, and the Entertainment Commit tee Is busily engaged in securing quarters for the- army.

WAB OX BEER AT A8BCRY PARK Th Aldermen and tne Law and Order wm Endearor PreTent I Sales of Intoxicant There. ASBCRY PARK, X. Aug.

Prohibitionists of Senator Bradley's temperaaeo town are waging their annual war against the rolling beer arki and the of the numerous spcak-easles," who. In defiance of general and special laws. re dispensing large quantities of intoxicants to the natives and hotel guests. 5 There are thousands of cottagers and hotel guests who spend the Summer hera because there are no open saloons. These Innocent ones really believe that liquor Is only to txChad upon a physicist's prescription.

Th3re are others, thjaTS? who wilf tell you that the prohlbltlahfeaiure of this resort Is a delusion and a sham. These know that no one need die of thirst as long as he has the price of a drink. Dosens of arks "the name coined by the natives for the wagons which carry beer around town do a' thriving and the' speak-easles are numerous. There are no open aaloona. but the tabooed article is sold Just the same and sold in large uuan-' titles, too.

f- i prdjey. himself an outspoken prohibitionist, has spent a fortune In trying to suppress the illicit sale, but he ha tired of the task, and freely admits that high license la the only effectual way to get rid of the arks and Those who hold opposite views have inaugurated another war of extermination against the traffic ln liquor. Ihe subject of illegal beer selling was discussed last week by the Aldermen, afte Commltteman Wlnsor had presented a resol lution Instructing the Marshal and the police ollicers to Jot down the name of every person purchasing beer or rum from the ark drivers, and make a record of the sales ln a book to be kept1 at Police Headquarters. Marshal Smith replied that the force had been watching the suspects for some time; but that It was Impossible to secure evU nence against them, because the owners refused to sell their goods to a policeman In uniform. The Aldermen then held a secret session, and decided to have the police keep a record of every illicit sale made by the archangels to be used in the future in case the suspects are arrested.

i The Aldej-men also arranged for the employment of a dozen special officers, who will put In their time watching the sus pected places and will procure, if possible, evidence against them. The Law and Order League will work with the Alderman. There Is a State law authorizing the sale of laser beer by the case, and liquors by the quart, and the natives and cottagers who purchase their weekly legitimately, do not take kindly to the system of espionage adopted by the town officials. They think that the special detectives should be directed to confine their work ta discovering the speak-easles tmd the dealers who peddle beer by the single bottle; The new order has frightened ihe suspects, and those who now visit the watched Places can only obtain a drink by giving the password, upon by the dispensers of the proscribed beverages. In one thei "speak-easles" on Kingsley Street, thirsty, visitors who want lager beer must call for sea foam," and when whisky Is desired the magic vords are cold tea." CIXCIXXATI OFF FOR Other War Vessels to Follow Columbia to be Put in Dry Dock SL Louis's Test for an Auxiliary The cruiser Cincinnati, which has been moored at the New-York Navy Yard since her return from West Indian waters, cast off her mooring lines yesterday and started for the rendezvous at Newport.

The vessel will be joined there this by the flagship New-York, and the cruisers Montgomery, and Raleigh. The Raleigh, which Is now in the timber dock at the navy will probably be floated this afternoon. Tbje basin will be occupied by. the Columbia as soon as It is vacated by the Raleigh. Thfi Columbia la at the nary yard.

When she has been placed! in dry-dock the Naval Constructors stationed at the yard will make an examination cf the hull and report pn the amount of injury the ship sustained through a false adjustment ot keel blocks when tho ship was docked at Southampton prior to her run across the Atlantic. The damage received then was slight, according to her commander's official report. The ship is under orders to Join the squadron assembling at Newport, and It Is not expected that the repairs will be of a sufficiently urgent nature to interfere with that programme. i The new American 'Line steamship St. Louis, which sails for Southampton today, will have on board Commander K.

B. Bradford and Lieut. R. T. Mulligan of the United States Navy, who will act as the representatives of the United States Government at the speed trial which the St.

Louis will undergo off Southampton as soon as she has been cleaned and painted. She has not -been out of the water since Nov. 12. The purpose of the speed trial is to test her adaptability a an auxiliary pruiser of the United States. In order to accomplish this she must steam four hours at the rate of knots an hour.

She will be light of cargo when the test is made. The commission appointed to pass upon the trial consists of Commander R. B. Bradford, Lieut, R. T.

It Is probable that since we have shipped 1,400 tons of pig Iron and steel from Youngstown, Ohio, into England, the Agrarians ot England will soon demand microscopic inspection of American pig iron to see that trichinae Is not contained therein. This Jocular suggestion, which: was advanced this morning by Secretary Morton, was apropos to the cabled statement from a German paper that, "if the origin of the tinned and packed beef sent out from Chicago could be traced, it would! bo found that the packers buy the mqst inferior quality, such as it ia not right to have sold in Germany." j- Personally," continued Secretary Morton, 'with a Veterinary Inspector, I have several times passed through the larger beef-canning establishments in i Chicago.

My visits to these establishments' were always nheralded. tfnd, therefore, there was no special preparation made for a general viewing of their premises and thelr methods of slaughtering, cooking, and canning beef. From those thorough official investigations I am Justified In denying as 4at fe German piper" as above quoted, said in regard to American canned meats. The other statement, to the effect that American pork, buna and sausage taken into Germany must henceforth ba stamped and microscopically examined, is nothing new.

Senile District" 'W CE PATTERSON SUSTAINED JUS The New Citizens Must Voce In the 'went second District, for i Legislative and Jndf- i Candidates, 8 -i.

Th decision of Justice Patterson of the Supr me Court, that the section of West-ches er County recently annexed to New-Tori City must remain unattached to the t. -city as far as legislative and judicial elections go, has been sustained by the General Tern of the Supreme Court, Ch ef Justice Van Brunt, who" wrote the decU ion, upholds Justice Patterson In every point Th i question passed on Is an unusually Impo rtant one, as Its bearing will have to be considered In every Instance where It Is soug it hereafter to extend the territory of New York pity. The matter was brought befoi Justice Patterson on the application of A igustus! M. Field of the Town of West-chesi er for a mandamus to direct the Board of dermeh of this city to reconvene and reap ortion the Assembly districts of this coun so as to Include the new territory in th Tweity-first Senate District Jut Lice Patterson denied the. application, and iustice Van Brunt, in upholding this denlfl, saya, among other things: "I seems to be manifest that the claim of tl relator is contrary not only to the aplrli but to the letter of the Constitution, and that the Board of Aldermen had no powe to Include in any Assembly district within this -county the annexed territory." Th.

Justice then quoted Section 6 of Article I tl. of the new Bute Constitution, which provides among other, things that in ap-portl mlng the State each Assembly district shall be wholly within one of the Senatorial districts, the limits of which were fixed by the Constitutional Convention. rvelve Senators," continues Justice Van Brun i were allotted to the County of New- York, and each Senate district was de-scrib by metes and bounds. The Twenty-seoor Senate District consisted of the County of "The only function to be performed by the Hoard of Aldermen was to divide the City and County of New-York, apportioned by ie said Constitution into twelve Senate districts. In acordance with the requirement i of said Section 6 of Article each of llch districts should be wholly within a Se late district formed under the apportions ent made by the Constitution, and whlc i was then In force.

If. therefore, unde such Senate apportionment the territory dispute was a part of the City and Coun of New-York. It should have been Inclu led within some Assembly district of that county. It is plain that it was not a part of that county under such apportionment for at the time this apportionment was nade by the Constitution of ltflM such terrlt ory formed a part of another county. Tl ie Senate apportionment was completed when this Constitution -went Into effect, whlc i was ks to this subject, by its terms, Jan.

18lKi or it would not have been an appoi tlonment within the meaning of the term; as uaed in the Constitution. ie framers of the Constitution claimed to cognise equality of population, with certa express exceptions, as the basis of the pportlonment. This abundantly appears throughout the entire instrument. Wher they jset apart the County of West Chester aa he Twenty-second Senate District, they set apart an integral portion of the ti rritory of the State with well defined limits containing, according to the last pre-cedin enumeration, a population which, under their: plan -of apportionment' tbey eoruriilered to be entitled, to one Senator. With regard to the future they provided by Seetln 4 of Article IL that the, Legislature might after- the enumeration to be made ln 1805, and every ten years thereafter, so alter the bounds of the 8enate districts that ach district should contain as early as mi be.

an equal number of inhabitants and bjp in asr compact a form as and ihat such districts shall remain un-altere 1 until the return of another It is contended by the counsel, for the appel ant that while the Legislature could not after 1805, disregard the principle of equality In; population, or change the boundaries of a Senate district. It could do so nc w. No good reason Is assigned for such i discrimination, and it seems to be at variance with the regulations of he Con-stitut on governing the apportionment of Assen ibly districts. As we have seen, each Assembly district must be within a Senate district, formed under the same apportionment The Con-stitutl on had formed the Senate districts under the present enumeration, and only left ie Legislature the duty of apportioning ie among the Senate dlstrh ts, and each Assembly district had to be wl thin a Senate district as formed by the institujion. Tl argument that the word as us.d ln the Constitution, refers to political organizations, and not to fixed territories.

Is fefuted by the language of the Instru nent Itself. In denning the boundaries the Twenty-first Senate District, meets and bounds are established, and 'here Is adc ed. all that part of the County of New-Vork not hereinbefore If the words 'County of New-York meant the litical; division known by that name, the ords not hereinbefore described would have ho reasonable significance." 1 The question of the Constitutionality of the lai Legislature, raised by the appellant.

Request Uwyeri to GItb Their Opinion a to IU Present and Scope. ALBANY, Aug. 5. The Commission on Code Revision, which is to leport on the codeSj of procedure and practise acts In force in other States' and countries, and the code of procedure of this and make suggestions for Its revision, condensation, e.nd simplification, has sent out a eir-culari letter to lawyers, asking them to give an opinion on the general question of revision; whether it la. desirable at this time, and upon what lines it should be made.

If it Is thought undesirable, what particular changes should be made in the detail or scheme of the code, so as to make It more practical. The Inquiry. Is made whether everything relating even remotely to practice should be Included in the Code of Civil Procedure, or only those matters which deal directly with procedure in aotlona, leaving to other statutes the organisation of courts, functions, and fees of officers, and matters of substantive law. If the code Is to Include, everything, the comriiisslon says, then, even with Its 8,400 sections. It is Incomplete, and several subjects now Included in other statutes-should be added to the code.

If the Code of Civil Procedure should be limited strictly to questions relating to. practice in actions, from their commencement until their final uerm.lnat,on' without regard to various subordinate and subsidiary matters that arise; in the progrese of an action, then some- subjects that are now in the code should be eliminated and embraced in other statutes. It has been suggested that the practice in Justices courts and In Surrogates' courts does not properly belong in the Code of Civil Procedure also, that the detailed rulea of evidence ln the present code more properly belong elsewhere! that the various provisions of a local character should be taken from, the code and Included in the charters of the municipal corporations to which they relate; that the subject of the organization and Jurisdiction of the various courts, and the election and appointment of various officers of the courts, is no part of a proper system of procedure. It has also been suggested that the code of practice should be confined to the rules regulating proceedings in actions generally ln courts of record, and that actions of a special character and special proceedings should be treated ln an Independent code. If these suggestions should be adopted.

It would Involve the separation of several subjects and sections from the present code and their Incorporation in other but it. need not necessarily involve a revision or change in the phraseology of various sections; it would require a rearrangement of the law, without changing its language. The Commissioners are not unmindful of the uncertainty, if not positive mis-' chief," produced by frequent changes in the fihraaeology of a statute, especially where has received Judicial construction, and the language of a statute which has become familiar to the practitioner should be retained, unless a change will tend to make the law more clear. In connection with the work the Commissioners have found numerous instances of omisaions, either in the general statutes or in the Code of Civil Procedure, and several subjects of general or minor importance are included ln other statutes which, possibly, ought to be Incorporated in the and in formulating plans for the general revision of the statutes, in connection with possible code revision, it seems to them, that the subject should be ronsidered as a whole, and that code revision should be considered ln connection with its bearing upon statutory revision. THE MISSEAFOLIS MAT GO TO JAPAN Eastern Powers to be Shown the Re- suits of Ajnerlean Shipbuilding-.

WASHINGTON, 5. Some curiosity la expressed ln naval circles as to the destination of the Minneapolis. This speedy cruiser, the; sister ship of the Columbia, is now at Norfolk, where she Is being, fitted out as a flagship. She will not be assigned to the North Atlantic station, for the armored cruiser New-York Is the flagship of that squadron. It is -not expected that she will relieve the San Flranclsco, which is now in.

European waters, or the Newark, which is tie flagship of the South Atlantic squadron. The Olympla. on tne other hand, has been ordered-to the China station as flagship, and It is believed for this reason that the service which the will perform will be of a special character. Thej-e is a probability that she may be sent to the East in order that the officials of China and Japan may Judge for themselves the quality ot ships that this country-is now building. The only considerable vessel the United States has had ln those waters la the Baltimore, a handsome craft of 4,400 tons' displacement, which, it will remembered, figured so conspicuously in the tragedy at Valparaiso In 1890, which nearly resulted ln a war between this country and the Republic of Chile.

The Minneapolis, however, is 3,000 tons larger than the and much faster. She 1b essentially a commerce destroyer, and upon her trial trip developed a speed of more than 23 knots' an hour, or a knot faster than the Columbia. As Japan Government proposes largely to Increase its navy, it is probable that if the. Minneapolis be sent to that station she may prove so instructive an object lesson a to result ln some of the contracts of the Japanese Government being given to American shipbuilding firms.

GLAD THE HOUR DAD COME, HE TOTE The Rev, Robert Col Iyer Administered the Sacrament, the Murderer Having Become Converted- to rjnlrarian Faith SESTCJ SINO, N. Aug." Leach, the murderer of Mary Hope New-klrk. was killed In the electric chair In Sing Sing Prison this morning.

The witnesses had been Instructed i tb be present at. 11 o'clock M. They were promptly there, at ill o'clock, were escorted to the death chamber In the north yarL Warden Sage and Principal Keeper Con-naughtorr thenj retired through the tunnel leading to the tell room, where they found the condemned man talking to Chaplain WeUls of tho prison. He had Just iasked the Chaplain at what time he was to be taken to the chair. The! Chaplain said he could not aay positively, that former executions had been at about 11 o'clock.

"It must be after 11 now." said Leach, Only a few minutes." replied the Chaplain. i "Well. I wonder why they don't comet" said Leach. Those were the last words he was heard to speak by ahy one. It at that moment that the; Warden and his Principal Keeper.

appeared and told him to come with them. He took his position by the. right side of the Chaplain, and the two officials followed. He walked resolutely through the short tunnel. He was attired in a suit of black, with the right leg of his trousers ripped up the side to allow easy access to the electrode.

Leach seated himself In the fatal chair after shaking hands with Chaplain Wellls, and then State Detective Jacksonjahd Keepers -Durkln, Deeley, and McNeal strapped him to the back and and the electrodes were applied to his head and right leg. All this was done In a few seconds. Just -as the mask was applied to his face, he rolled his eyes" upward and appeared to faint but the doctors say he did not The current ot 1,700 volts and 8 amperes was turned on at 11:16:40 o'clock. The body became rigid at once The mask had not been strapped tight enough, and so dropped out of position. The current of 1.7uO volts was kept on for seven seconds and then reduced to 800 volts, where it was kept for thirty seconds.

Again It was pushed up to and kept there until the doctors thought Leach was dead. It was then turned off. Dr. Sheehan at once put his ear to Leach's breast and detected a rapid beating of the heart This was corroborated by-. Drs.

Irvine and Oibba, but it soon died out The doctors agreed that It was only -the muscular action, which had not yet been arrested. They said the man was killed by the first shock. At the autopsy It waa found that the calf of the right leg had been slightly i burned. The organs were found normal. with a slight adhesion of the lungs.

Decision to he Made When Controller Fitch Retnrne Tenporary Qnar. tere ln Fifth Avenue. A1 site has not been selected for the building: for the 'Appellate Division of the Supreme Court for the First Department Mayor Strong." who Is a member of the committee appointed by the Sinking Fund Commissioners to secure a proper site for the-proposed new court building. aaidV yesterday- that no negotiations are reallv progress, and that no definite action can be laaen untu v-ontrouer Fitch, who is a member of the 'committee, returns to New-York. Recorder Goff Is the third, member of the committee.

It Is true." Mayor Strong said. that, acting on the recommendations made to the Appellate Justices, we have in view the premises, at Madison Avenue and Twentv. fifth. Street, but It is also true that we have under consideration several other sites. I cannot say which will be selected.

I was perfectly wlUlrur. so far aa I was concerned. to 1 make a selection a. week Each member of the committee hasi been looking around independently. When Controller Fitch comes back we will have a meeting, compare1 notes, and then, no doubt prepare a report at once." The site recommended to the Sinking Fund Commissioners by the Appellate Justices for the Court House is now occupied by the houses of Henry Miner, at Madison; Avenue and Twenty-fifth Street and the; adjoining house ot Dr.

Edward H. Peaslee. The frontage on Madison Avenue is about 49 feet and on Twenty-fifth Street over 100 feet It would be possible. were this site purchased, to run an from Twenty-fifth Street parallel with Madison Avenue, extending back 100 feet from Twenty-fifth Street i One half of the second floor of the building at 111 Fifth Avenue has been lor two ye" at an annual rental of 114.500 for the use of the Appellate Justices. It is expected that before the two years are up a handsome up-town Court House will be ready for use.

The Justices of the Appellate Division of the bupreme Court are Charles h. Van Brunt. George C. Barrett. Edward Patterson; Morgan J.

O'Brien, George L. Inara-bam. Pardon C. Williams, and Charles Dwlght The Court will sit for the first time Jan. 1.

Under the Constltutxn no more than five Justices can sit In any case. Justice O'Brien, now sitting in Supreme Court. Chambers, said yesterday: We recommend the site of the Henry C. Miner and Dr. Peaslee houses to the Sinking Fund Commissioners as a favorable location for the new court building.

The Commissioners have not. to my knowledge acted in the matter farther than to refer theiquestion of site to a committee. In voting for an up-town site, we followed our best Judgment and. I think, met the approval of the general legal sentiment in New-York. The establishment of the Appellate Division oft the court Involves a most important change, and one that deserves the fairest possible trial.

It Is altogether wiae that, this court should be entirely separated from the Seneral courts. One reason la that it would thought objectionable by many persons to have the Appelate Justices where they ght be liable to-be! thrown In contact with the very Judges Who tried the cases. The Justices of the Appellate Division here will be so well prepared for their work when court opens that there should not the slightest hitch In its proceedings. It will run as-though it were an old Institution. We are studying carefully the rules governing the action of the court and we are making ourselves thoroughly familiar with all essential details, so that we shall know precisely what to i SHEi F0C6BT WITH IriF fOLICESIXI Irish Mary Also Threatened to Uarn tk (tatlos Hesie Matron.
