Only Two Votes Against and 858 For Them. As announced in these columns yes terday the bond election was carried by a good and sa'e majority. Out of a total registration-of 1,423 there were 80S votes cast for the issue and only two against it. In fact there was only one vote against bonds for the other one whii-h was intended to be against them as illegal, being worded wrong. It required a majority of all regis tered voters to carry the election and it will be seen from the above figures that 146 votes more than was necessary were polled.

By Wire to Thi Tkijwham Brooklyn, July 19 Strikers or their sympathizers tried to wreck the eleva tor structure at Fifth avenue and Thirty-sixth street w5th dynamite ear ly this morning. If the hands had not been clumsy the chances are the effect would have been disastrous.

The str'kers claim that many more will join them as soon as they hear of the strike. Orders have also been issued for the 9trike upon Sixth avenue.

THE OFFICIALS ABE ALARMED But There Is .No Present Indication That the Government's Policy ' WUI Be Altered. Special to the Telegram. Washington, July 19 The state ment coming from Manila, signed by reputable newspaper men, agents of the Associated Press, and correspond ents of representative newBpperi"Df the country, charging the administra tion with concealing the true state of affairs existing In the Phillippiaes, has caused more alarm in administra tion circles than any other incident connected with the war in the East. There is no effort being made to sup press the true feelings of the adminis tration people in regard to the signifi cance of the statement, but the fact is apparent that the president and bis advisors fear the effect of the state ment upon the country at large. From the statement it is evident that the newspapers of the country, and the people have in some way , been misin formed, and the dispatches of the cor respondents at Manila have been cen sored to convey just the opposite from what was originally intended By them-. At the war department the statement has created a profound impression, and the officials are evidently alarmed, though but little can be gathered in regard to it, owing to the policy of the department to suppress such mat ters as much as possible. At the ad jutant general's office it was said yes terday that no censorship has been es tablished at Washington, but that the dispatches are made public just as thy are received, wtich is doubtless true. The dispatches for publication are censored before they reaoh the de partment, at Manila. The secret dis paiohes intended only for the use of the war department, and not for the newspapers, are not given out, and of course are not censored. It is said that the cabinet will con sider the charges made by the news paper correspondents, though there is no present Indication that the admin istration's policy in regard to the dis patches will be altered. Commissioner Evans, who has been talked of as a candidate for the re publican nomination for governor of Tennessee, it is stated has said posi tively that he will not be a. candidate for the office. Commissioner Evans says that the use of his name in this connection has been without his con sent. He says that the republican- party is in-good shape in the" state, but he does not speak very hopefully of his party carrying the state either this year or in the presidential elec tion. The commissioner is not very much troubled about the charges which have been brought against him on account of the management of the pension bu reau. It is understood that the report of the committee appointed by the grand army encampment has practi cally exonorated him. Among Alabama people coming to Washlrgton there is considerable talk of opposition to Senator John T- Morgan. The opposition to his re election grows out of the recent inter view with him coneerning the qualifi cations of the next democratic nomi nee for the presidtney. Among those mentioned as his successor are Repre sentative Bankherf, who aspires to the democratic leadership of the house of representatives, and Governor Johnston. Several Washingtonians will leave this morning for Beltsville, Md., for the purpose of attending the wedding of Bishop Cheshire, of North. Caro Una, to Miss Be9sie Mitchell, of Belts' vllle. The party will return to Wash ington tonight. Postmasters have been appointed in Virginia as follows: Big Island, Bed ford county, V.

Dwight Sanderson, of Washington, assistant in the division of entomology, U. S. Department of Agriculture, was in the city this morn- ng, having been sent here to investi gate the cause of the defoliation of elm trees in and around Greensboro. Prof. Sanderson was escorted around the city by Mr. J. Norman Wills. He found that the English elm leaf beetle is responsible for the devastation. He returned to Washington at noon and will at once send Mr. Wills a supply of circulars giving treatment by which they can be exterminated. The circu lars will be received in a day or two and'any one desiring them can secure them by calling on Mr. Wills at the Odell Hard wftreCompany's, or if you cannot call a circular will be niailed you for the asking. Persons on whose property the beetles have appeared are urged to take steps to exterminate them. Prof. Sanderson sayj that if the beetles are not stopped they will eventually kill the trees, and unless concerted action is taken to destroy them it is not improbable that at its next meeting the board of aldermen will be asked to make it compulsory. Prof. Sanderson will return to Greens boro during gala week to attend a meeting of the agricultural society. Verdict for $300. Yesterday in court was occupied by the case of Miss Jennie E: Kennon vs. Western Union Telegraph Company, wherein the plaintiff asked for $2,(XK damages for the failure of the defend ant to deliver a telegram sent by her to a party in Reids ville.
