A large and very enthusiastic meeting was held last night at Central and Will-oughby avenues under the directlonpf tho Twentieth Assembly District Democratic Campaigu Committee. Eloquent speakers kept the large crowd np to a high pitch of enthusiasm from start to finish. So many speakers had been supplied that there was an overplus of them, and it was found necessary to adjourn the meeting at a late hour without presenting some of them.

Adolih lVttenkofer was chairman, with Dennis Wendell secretary. The chairuiaa in opening the meeting said that it had 1'een called to discuss the issues of the campaign. It was generally conceded, he said, that the candidates that had been nominated by the Democrats deserved the hearty support of all good citizens, irrespective of party, because the best element of citizenship was represented. "As I have been selected ns chairman by lie Cnnijinign Committee," he said, "I wish to express my thnuks for the honor conferred. I also take it as a hint that I am not to he one of the speakers, and therefore will not attempt to make a speech.

The committee undoubtedly taking advantage of my reputation among my friends as a has made nie chairman to shut nie off. The talented speakers thai I will introduce this evening will, 1 hope, work von all up to do the best you can for the whole ticket from now until Election day to the end of electing the Democratic candidates." Commissioner D. Bell was the first speaker, and started invith the issue of imperialism, and said that it would lead to militarism, but as lrad himself been a soldier that would not wrong him. But if we are to it, he would ulvocate tho compelling of all able men to do military duty. Mr.

Bell spoke on the Philippine question at some length, his particular point being that if the islands were taken under our flag they were entitled to their rights and to protection the same as other territories under it. W. II. White also talked upon imperialism. Assemblyman W.

H. Delnney spoke on the work he had done in the last Legislature, and the difficult task li had from being on the minority side. He expressed the hope, however, that when he goes to Albany to the next session he ill have a majority of the Legislature with him. Senator Joseph Wagner, who was introduced by the chairman as "f'ncle Joe," talked on legislative matters generally, touching on the water question, and the keeping of Brooklyn out of Suffolk County in the iuterfests of the Ramapo schemers. He spoke elso about the railroad bill, which he had last year introduced, and which, he said, after passing the Senate without a dissenting vote had been hnried in the Railroad Committee in the Assembly.

H. J. Bowan made a few remarks, and then Chairman Pettenkofcr said that he knew nanny of those present wanted to hear from their iicighbor, Dennis Winters. Mr Winters spoke in German, and the combi nation of "Dennis" and the Germau, tongue apparently struck the leader of the band ia tbe gallery exceedingly funny, for when the sneaker sat down the band promptly started up Wearing of the Green." Mr. Winters was enthusiastically received and were' evidentlv to the liking.

his neighbors, for he was applauded almost continually. Among other things, he said that if all the people who have a full dinner pail voted for McKiuleJ- and all those who have not a full dinne piil vote for William Jennings Bryan, Bryan will be elected, rTu the Twentieth Assembly District, he said. they proposed (6 give the Democratic ticket a rousing majority and elect all their'candi-'dates. He spoke of Congressman Wilson and the effective work he hsd done in Congress last year for his constitnents, and the party, and said that it was the duty of the voters to return him. Congressman Wilson was next introduced, but only made a few remarks of fe general "nature owing to the lateness of the hour at which he had arrived.

The challenge wiil not lie made public for some time. It he considered at a special meetinr nf the Hub to be held probably on Tuesday PTeuiug next.

Judging by the interviews eiven by Sir Thomas, it is' believed that the i hallengc, will call for a cutter 90 feet nn the water line. He has been quoted as sayiu; tb.it the unsuccessful Shamrock woiM be im proved upon and used as a trial lo.it for the challenging craft. Accorftinziy the new boat will have to be the size of the.oid boat to be of any value in the proposed trials.

The New East River Bridge CommissionJ yesterday afternoon, at the regular weekly meeting, awarded the contract for the construction of' tbe now bridge approaches to the Pennsylvania Steel Company, The contract price is $2,411.00. This was not the lowest bid received, nor yet the next lowest. A bid of J2.300.0O) was put in by 'the John T. Hall Company, which has offices in this city. The Hydraulic Construction Company, whose' vice-president, Mr.

Mitchell, was supposed to be hack of the Injunction proceedings, had made a bid of Then came the New Jersey Steel and Iron Company with a flat f2.400.000 bid. successful bidder fifth lowest, the Kn Bridge Company, of Cincinnati, bidding for the work at the same figures as the New Jersey concern. The other two companies were the American Bridge Company, at $2,500,000, and Michael Dndy, (jf Brooklyn, at $2,797,000. Commissioner James D. Bell, of this borough, the secretary of the Commission, explained the award in this wise: considered the.

capacity of the company's plant and the promptness with which it would be apt to complete the contract. The Pennsylvania Company, it was found, had its foundry on the ground with the finishing plant. That meant a big saving -of time. The guarantees of the company were fully satisfactory. Thm was the only company that had a plant so placed.

We had all the bidders before us and thoroughly examined The New. Jersey compsny, which bid 1 11,000 lower than the Pennsylvania company, now has. the contract for the construction of the steel towers and end spans. As has ben explained before, the contract is behind time ten months, it is said the delay being doe to the former scarcity of steel. When the bids ifor the approaches were first opened on May 31, the Pennsylvania Company attempted to bid, int its envelope arrived too late.

There were two other bidders at that time, the New Jersey Company and the King Bridge Company. The latter concern bid lower, but the bids were rejected "for the best Interests of the city." When the New Jersey Company secured its contract for the towers, the Pennsylvania Company was the lowest bidder, but the award was made to the New Jersey concern on the ground that it was a better-known firm, that had previously done work for the Commission.

but the Second Will Provided that It Should Be Established in New York City-The Texas Will to Be Offered for Probate To-Day or To-Morrow. Two more wills, said to have been executed by William M. Riee, the eccentric old millionaire, whose recent death the police believe was the result of a conspiracy by persons anxious to secure his fortune, have been found and the case to day is more complicated than ever. The two new wills are said to have been executed previous to 1895, one at Dunellen, N. where Rice lived before he came here, and one in New York.

Judge J. D. Bartine of Somerville, N. is authority for the statement that the wills exist, and as he drew them up and was Rice friend for years, he should know. The first will divided the old nian's fortune into 100 shares, and after specifying what shares should go to relatives and friends, made the.

vhich was to be established at TJunellen'Tiy thjj will, the residuary legatee. Rice, with his second wife, lived in a grand old mansion in but they were not happy together there and in 1805 they came to this city and the mansion was dosed. A little later Rice informed Judge Bartine that he was dissatisfied with his will, inasmuch as he thought New York was the place for the Institute. Therefore a new will was executed, the only change from the old one being that the Institute be established in this city. These two wills, together with the alleged will held by Lawyer Patrick, now in jail charged with forgery, and the one held by Captain Baker, of Houston, make four wills which will have to be passed npon by the courts.

Lawyer James W. Gerard, who holds the original copy of the alleged Patrick will, makes the sensational statement to-day that the reports regarding the contents of the will are wrong, as it is a fact that Lawyer Patrick gets the Tesidue of the estate outright and that the alleged will makes no mention of a "worthy charity." -s The Baker will, which provides for the establishment of the Rice Institute at Houston, will be offered for probate here to-day or to-morrow. No bajl has yet been secured for Lawyer Patrick or young Jones, who acted as Rice's valet. PROTECTINGJTHECHILDREN. Supt.
