MONDAY. JUNE 6. 1904.-TWELVE PAOEB.-wiJ^y.r!hf PARKER NOT THE CAUSE. Mcspirr hits m-carben. Says Latter Wanted Wide Open Town, and That Led to Battle. Charles F. Murphy last night Issued a long statement attacking Senator P. H. McCarren. He declares that his warfare against the Brook lyn Senator was not brought about by McCar ren's support cf Parker or his desire to maintain the autonomy of the Brooklyn organization; that the real trouble was that McCarren wanted to have a wide open town In Brooklyn In the campaign Mayor McClellan had pledged his word, the statement says, that the "lid" should be kept on tightly, and McCarren had tried to nullify these promises. It was therefore neces sary to combat McCarren's leaderEhlp on this ground. The statement of Mr. Murphy, given out by Thomas F. Smith, secretary of Tammany Hall, was in the form of questions and answers. It waa as follows: "Have you seen the statement Issued yester day by Bird S. Coler. in which he Insists that the differences between yourself and .Senator McCarron arose over the question of police pol icy In Brooklyn, nnd not over politics?" Mr. Murphy was asked last night. "I have," replied th«j Tammany leader. "Then. Mr. Murphy, the assertion which lias frequently been made that you and the Ser.ator disagreed because he favored the nomination of Judge Parker is not true?'" "It is absolutely false." declared Mr. Murphy emphatically, "and Senator McCarreu knows it." "How about his charge that you have been trying to curtail Brooklyn's autonomy? " "That nlso Is absjurd and untrue, as recent events sfio* Let me say now. as emphatically as I can. that Benator SCcCarren'a declaration:; in favo.- of Judge Parlce:- had absolUtel) nothing whatever to do lth causing our disagreement, nor had any alleged Interference on my par . eithe- directly or remotely, with Brooklyn's autonomy. Kobod) knows that better than doc-; Benator McCarren. These reasons hav l>een give:i out by him to the public in order to Oisgu'se the real cause. "You wi'.l not^ that no complaint was ever heard of any Interference with Brooklyn's af fairs until it wr.s rumored thai thei Police Com missioner bad become dissatisfied with hla Brooklyn deputy. But when that deputy waa removed the charge waa then for the first time loudly proclaimed it seems strange that, in stead of assuming that the Commissioner's nc tlon waa prompted by politics, the newspapers did not ascertain the real cause." "Do you mean. Mr. Murphy." he was asked, "to tlmat* that the former Brooklyn Deputy Police Commissioner was removed because of Bomethtng that reflected upon hi* conduct of police .-iffair3 In Brooklyn?" "Commissioner McAdoo i* better able to answer that question tha.t 1 am," replied th* Tammany leader. "la connection with th« •üb ject of Brooklyn's autonomy, I v..' to say that every appointment of Brooklyn men to office under the present administration before the r<» moval of the Brooklyn Deputy Police Commis sioner waa made on the recommendation of th» Brooklyn Democracy, of which Senator Me <"arren was th' leader. There was no com plaint then of any Interference with Brooklyn's autonomy. "People should remember that Just before the recent city election Tammany Hall, against whlcb the flpht waa made principally, promised a good, cleai governmenl in the event of suc cess. If n oral foulness exists, no matter by whom encouraged, the blame will fall upon Tammany Hall, especially If the foulness is In Brooklyn. Had less concern been shown re oently for the preservation of th (> decency of Brooklyn th^-re might have been no difference between Senator McCarren nnd myself, no pre tence thai he v as opposed because of hla \ le? b on the Presidential question and no excuse that he is fighting In defence of th«- autonon of Brooklyn. "in cither words, the sole i autf of the disagree ment between us WS4 over th* fulfllmenl or non fulfilment of 'he btsdajes made to the people by the Democracy of this city that the Democratic administration wonld nol stand for blackmail nnd corruption of nny kind anywhere In Greater New-York, no mattei by vhom encourafed, but that the people would get what waa promised them--a clean, economical and efficient govern ment.'' Tne M*tr: "Police Commissioner McAdoo was fn at hla home and asked as to Mr. Mur] i the removal of Henry F. Haggerty, Senator McCarren'a law partner, as Deputy Police Corn n issioner for Brookls n. "'Mr. Murphy's reasons foi liaggerty'i re moval are correct. 1 declared the Pol! >■ Commis sioner. 'Politics figured absolutely no) at all In noval, which waa because Mr. Ffaggertj \v;is entirely out of sympathy with the •• ■:i of affairs In the Pollc< Department. Thar being the case, for the good of th-- service he w>s removed and his place Riled by a man v. h<> was willing to act In harmony with the i>r> lice ' ' immissii er In regard to any other feat ure of Mr. Murphy's Interview, 1 < .■. ■ ing fit this time. To-morrow 1 shall read it In type, and probably shall be Killing to dictate ay.'i Issue a typewritten statement covering my participation in the case."

TWO BULLDOGS IXCLUDED Princeton Students and Army and Xavy Men Battle. Princeton students, an army officer's son. an admiral's nephew, some other men. two bull dogs. Including the Princeton Baseball Club's mascot, and House Detective Shepherd, of the Park. Avenue Hotel, were in a free fight In the hotel enf£ and In the street early yesterday. The detective got the worst of it. no one else being badly hurt. The dogs chewed each other, but were separated. Some of the Princeton students who had seen their baseball team whipped at New-Haven Saturday pat up at the Princeton Club, oppo site tho hotel, and half a dozen of them strolled over to the Park Avenue Cafe. One had the mascot in leash. Sitting- nt two tables were a -well known doc tor, the admirars nephew, the captain's son. two regular army lieutenants and a few others, friends of these men. They were joking with or.c another, end one of them called the atten tion of the rest to the Princeton bulldog and said: "Gee. what an ugly lobster. " An insult to their -mascot was too much for the Princeton men. and they bristled to a man and came forward. It took only a few seconds to start a fight. The bulldog leaped on a table end looked on with his eye S half closed. The fight went on hotly, each man picking out his antagonist, and, by tacit agreement, beating each other according to the rules of the Ameri can duel. Thomas Ryan, the hr.rkf-eper. sent a few hall boys into the fray, but they retired quickly. The fighters fought their way to the street. The bulldog followed. Here Detective Shepherd, without saying who hf was. tried to be peace maker, lie grot what peacemakers generally get. The ho.= ti!i-- camps by common consent Joined forces and he was struck ajraln. knocked down, thrown into the gutte- and Jammed against the housewall as often as he arose While Shepherd was beinc; mauled Frederick Reed, manager o.* tho hotel, arrived. He had with him his per bulldog, a prize winning ani mal of some pedigree. The prize winner and the iikisii'; s;.|f? each other and decided not to let the students and the others ha\e all the sport. Mr. Reed managed to lei the fighters know who they were thr.ishiriß, and effected a recon ciliation. Then the student;- £"t clubs and pried at the bulldogs' Jaws and jammed their teeth till the does decided to ]>i ga of each other. FIGHT IX GILSEY HOUSE. Contractor Arrested.

He fired his own revolver five times Into the cro^d. and probably mortally wounded Wtllia;:: Wynn. nineteen years old. of No. 428 East Fif tp»nth-st. Glllen and Wynn were placed under •irrept, charged with felonious assault, and three others were arrested as accessories. The poM.-. expect to make several more arrf-sts. Glllen refused to make a ooTOplatat against Wynn or any of the others arrested, and Wyim refused to make any statement. Gillen said \he trouble was due to a quarrel orer a flshine: line at East Slxteenth-st. three weeks ago. Gfllen was at First-avr>. and Klghtef-nth-at. about 3 p. m.. when he was first attacked by the pang and nsaaulted.

GlUen Is married and lives with his wife, his baby, a month old. and his brother Peter. In a four room apartment. At about 10:30 o'clock last nisht there was a knock on the dining room door, and Glllen asked who was there. He was told that he was wanted outside.

The men seemed to go away, but poon there was a BC«bnd summons, and GiUen ordered the men to go away. His words were greeted by a shout, nml several men ki. ked at the door. It opened outward and would not yleln. A second time the men seemed to go away, and all was still for about ten minutes. Then the knocks came again and a voice said: •Come out here, Gillen, we want to kill you." Glllen ordered the m.Mi away again and said he wouldn't leave his apartment. Glllen went to the door and said "You fellows E*t away from here or I'll kill some '"'f you In response several pistol shots rang out. and five bullets passrii throuarn the pan^l ol the door, one of them almost striking Gillen. He ran to a rear room to Ret his pistol, and pays he saw several men on the fire escape, all armed, ready to prevent his escape that way if he at tsmpted it.

St. Louis Fails of Imported Excite ment and Provides Its Own, St. Louis, June Incensed over their fkflvna to see a "'grnuine Spanish bullfight," wMrh "he authorities h.id ordered stopped, a riot was Started in an arena near the World's Fair ground" this evening by a crowd of twenty-five hundred imn and boys; who were unable to cet their tr.oney back, and the building was burned to the ground. Four men were arrssted by the authorities of St. Louis County, charged -vith destru« tion of property. The crowd, thinking these men were connected with the show, made an attempt to mob them, and In their encounter with the deputy pherliTs a number were roughly handled and some received scalp wounds. The building is said to have cost $23w000l It is a total loss. The initi.il pcrforniar- r \ y the company of Spanish bullfighters ha<i b°en advertised wltlely for to-day, but Governor Dockery. to whom nu meroua protests had been made by religious and humane societies, ordtrsd that the nght should not be allowed to take place. Despite these or ders, a lurge crowd assembled In the arena at the advertised time of opening. Before the reg ular performance a number of cowboys drove In some bulls, which they ran uound the arena in true Wild West style. The crowd soon be came ti-ed of this, nnd called for the bullfight. The announcement was then made that the bullfight would be proceeded with. As the matadors came into the rinß a county official Pte^pfd up to the announcer and handed him a paper lnf lining him that the proposed show could not take place. When this became known to the crowd they leaeped Into the arena and de manded th» return of their money, $1 apiece. Failing to get this, the crowd went to the office, which was In a sinaJl building outside the arena, and began to stone It. This was followed by attempts to burn the n^aln structure, which was an Immense build ing constructed of pino. Bits of burning paper were thrown at the woodwork, and finally some one went inside and dropped a lighted match In a pile of hay under the bulldln*. The whole structure w.-:s soon on fire, and before long waa in ruins. A call was made for th« fire department, but th" single enstlne that responded stuck in the mud. and there wns nothing to stop the progress of the flames*. The fire department of the World's Fair was called out to protect the ex- Position buildings, but, as the wind bl»w In another direction, there was no danger. CALL FOR ROOSEVELT.

FIRE AND SMOKE AT PORT Heavy Detonations — Destroying Mines Xear Dalny. Washington. June .".—The Japanese Legation to-day received the following dispatch from Mm government at Toklo: Admiral Togo reports that, according to a message received by r.im through wireless teleg raphy from the captain of the cruiser Chitose. which was cruising off Port Arthur, great ex plosions were heard and rising of dense smoke was observed repeatedly In the direction of Port Arthur during Saturday. Four masts, one with wireless telegraphic in struments and a sentry box, were seen on th» top of Lao-Teal-Shan. Tokio, June .. r—ltr — It is suspected, here that Nfcl Russians at Port Arthur are communh atinjj with points on the Chinese coast by mesial aj| wireless telegraphy. It was reported th.V a wireless station had been erected secretly at tha village of Pen-Wang, on Takin Island, one oi the Miao-Tao group. In Pe-Chl-L.l Strait. and the Japanese cruiser Chltose visited the Island] yesterday to investigate. She did not. however, find anything. It is reported that another such station has been erected near Shan-Hai-Kwan, and the Japanese arf investigating this matter. Yesterday the Chltose steamed In close t-> Lao- Teal-Shan and discovered four maats and a watch house near the coast. One of these masta evidently was fitted for wireless telegraphy operations. Th* Chitose reports having heard a series of explosions at Port Arthur, and believes tham t-> have resulted from blastings preparatory t-> Ittl emplacing of new batteries. The Japanese tmpidt boat dsatr«V« Ikazucfci yester'iay discovered and ssplaalsd t :nr2:e mtr.i off San-Shar Island, at til entrance to Talle.i- Wan Bar. The Japanese naval authorities ensa^- la clearing out the mines in Ike vicinity of TaH«; - Wan Bay are employing Japanese shell div-rs from Kushiu Province for the purpose. Th»se divers volnr.teered for this work, and are won derfully expert. It Is said that with their div ing paraphernalia they can stay under water fcr* half a day at a tirre. Hundreds of Japanese fishermen are volun teering to assist in clearing away Russian mines, and it is possible that some of them will be used for this work. These voluntary offers ar* tnken to illustrate the unity o f the Japanese people in the war. The saaasaaoaM reported n f.ie foregoing dispatch may bans been th» fire o' the Japanese siege guns ar the reply of the forts. th<» «mind heard at sea having lost its eontinutty by the ccti'flguration of the '.anil and the varying force of the wind. The lietor.aii.n^ may hive bi^n caused, on th« other hand, by the Russians blowing up their warships nnd stor-s. hy V.\e springlnic of mines to repel a:: attack si Infantry, or. as the Chitos«"s report say». by blasting for emplacements. The avasa smoke bears out the theories either of OaSBBgS raiis.-. 1 in the town hy Japanese sheila or the decision of the Russians to destroy their ma terials of war. Tb« Japanese powder Is absolutely smokeless, and that of the Russians leaves prac tically no trace of the guns' location. Gl XBOA T TORPEDOED Russian War Vessel Giliak De stroyed at Port Arthur.
