IAMXAST LEADER (IOT A LETTER
FROM MX TESTERDAT,
To. Attempt to Smother tho Chicago Platform
1U. Stirred l'p a Sterna la Tamranny It
rir Delrsnles Slay Obey Order, bnt ttas
toter. Won't Tronble .til Over la State.
Leader John C. Sheehan of Tammany Hall has
lnstructc J nil of the Tammany leaders to see to
It that only such delegates aro sent to the City
Convention on SopU 30 as will obey orders In
carrying out tho policy to ovada all mention of
the Chicago national platform of 1800. Bernard
J. York, for the McLaughlin organization In
Brookljn, lias Issued similar ordors, and tho
lamo Instructions haT been given to the Demo
cratic leaders in Queens and Richmond. All of
this was learned on indubitable authority yes
terday. The orders of Mr. Sheehan and Mr. York, it
wii declared, are the direct result of tho action
of the Democratic Stato Committoe in Ignoring
the Chicago platform of 1890. The action of tho
Democratic State Committee in thus refusing to
Indorse a national Democratic, platform is the
first caso of Its kind in the history of the Demo
cratic party In New Tork Bute.
Tbe Democratic Stato leaders may bo able to
control the members of the Stato Committee,
but It was the uniform testimony yesterday of
those fully acquainted with the situation In the
Stato that the 551,309 Democratic roters who
stood by Bryan and the Chicago platform last
year will not bo so easily controlled.
As a matter of fact, a number of
Democratic. State Committeemen gave this
testimony. None of them wishes to havo
bis name printed. They said they had no dis
position to appear to criticise the policy dic
tated by Senator Murphy and ex-Senator Hill,
but the Democratic 8tate Committeemen who
gave this testimony said that they had not hesi
tated to tell Mr. Murphy on his Tisit to New
York that the Democratic voters In the country
districts are very much opposed to the policy of
STaslon and stultification.
" This policy of hiding behind back doors,"
said a Democratic Stato Committeeman at tho
Hoffman House last night, " will not and can
sot win anything at the polls. Our principles
were laid down at Chicago, and our Btate Con
vention at Buffalo last fall reaffirmed our prin
ciples. Bnt now, for tho first time In the history
of the party, tho Democratic Stato Commltteo
attempts to muzzlo the half million Democratic
Toters In the State. It is a cowardly policy, and
It can end only in disaster.
" Tbe Democrats axe not sneaks, and tbey do
tut wish to be put in the position of sneaks.
They are not ashamed of their principles, but
are ready to accept tho doctrines laid down for
them by the National Democratic Convention.
The policy which dictated the muzzling of tho
Democratic State Committee is one which at
tempts to nut tho Democratic voters in the State
on the defensive. There Is trouble all over the
State concernlnc this policy, and I venture to
predict that the rrgular Democrats will remain
, away from the polls on election day."
Tbe Tammany leaders and the Democratic
leaders in Brooklyn. Queens, and Richmond are
very peculiar men for newspaper men to meet
nowadays. This was demonstrated yesterday,
when quite a number of them were asked con
cerning the instructions of Mr. Eheehan and
Mr. York to send only such delegates to
the City Convention as would follow tho
policy .to avoid all monfloa of the
- Chicago platform of dSS. Every leader spoken
to en the subject said that he did not care to say
a word. In the old days these Democratic lead
en have been glad to speak out and to have
their views printed in the newspapers. They
have stood gallantly by their guns and spoken
up manfully for Democratic principles. Now
they are absolutely frightened Then requested
to say a few words for print.
It Is a matter of absolute fact that one of the
most prominent Tammany Hall leaders re
ceived yesterday a letter from William J. Bryan,
in which Mr. Bryan begs all straightforward
Democrats to stand by tbe principles laid down
In the Chicago platform of 1806. A Sox man
asked the Tammany Hall leader who received
this letter for a copy of It, and the Tammany
Hall man turned red, white, and green when he
said:
"No, no. I cannot let you see that letter. It
is a private communication. Yon must not
even print my name in this matter."
The information that the Tammany Hall
leader had received such a letter from Mr.
Bryan was given to Tne Son with the under
standing that if the Tammany Hall leader
would give the letter for print all well and
good; but otherwise his name was not to be
printed.
Not only do the well-known Tammany leaders
refuse to discuss tbe policy of avoiding the Chi
cago platform laid down by the Democratic
leaders, but even the minor district leaders of
Tammany Hill declined yesterday to speak con
cerning the matter. AH have received Instruc
tions to maintain absolute silence. There
were a number of these minor leaders, however,
who spoke with the understanding that their
names must not be used. According to their
testimony Mr. Sheehan and Mr. York may be
able to send delegates to the City Convention
who will keep their mouths shut, but in the
words of some of tbe best informed Tammany
men:
-The people In Fourteenth street do not know
tbe trouble that is brewing for them. Tho Tam
many voters In all the districts ore opposed to
the policy of skulking. Thsy are amazed at tbe
conduct of the Fourteenth street people in
sending to tho rear a Democratic national plat
form, The Tammany voters will not obey
this polloy. If they cannot rote for a
candidate for Mayor of Greater New York
who stands on the Chicago platform they will
remain away from the polls on election day.
Everything that I have told you has been re
peatedly told to our people in Fourteenth street.
Mr. Croker was not here for the national cam
paign last year, and I do not believe he under
stands how fervently and enthusiastically we
worked and voted for Bryan. This polloy of
evasion Is nothing more than an attempt to
smother a bouse afire with a blanket. It will
jiot U successful in the end, even though the
leaders are powerful enough to compel tbe dele
gates of tbe City Convention to keep quiet.

DICTATOR RARRIOS'S FALL,
The Victory of Horaleo-Uaale to Uet the Alert
410" to Cluntemnln,
Ban Francisco, Bent. 17. The news of the
fall of Quezattenango and Dictator Harrlos has
been confirmed by to-day's despatches from
Washington. Tho revolution has lasted only a
week, and every stronghold Is in possession of
Morales and his victorious forces. Tho fall of
Quezaltenango was the doath-knell of tho hopes
of Barrios, and there seems nothing left to him
but to get on his steamer and put to sea. It
Morales can prevent his departure be will do so,
in which evont it will go hard with the deposed
Dictator.
" Quezaltenango Is the most strongly fortified
city In Guatemala," said lloniunldo Pnchcco.ex
Minister to Guatemala, this morning, "and
when Barrios loses that there Is no longer any
hope for htm. Barrios did an unwise thing to
fall out with Morales. Tho latter is rich and
very popular, and tho letters which were re
ceived here before the revolution showed that
he was gaining In strength each day."
Tbe United States gunboat Alert came down
from the Mnro Island Navy Yard late last night.
This morning tho vessel was taking on supplies
In great haste, and it was learned that she baa
been ordered to sail Immodlatcly to San Josd de
Guatemala and lend assistance to American
residents of the Central American States. The
Alert either will sond a launch party or
go herself to Ocos It necessary. The
Government evidently is In possession of
information concerning the rapid advance
of tio Insurgents yesterday afternoon,
for the Alert men say that tho orders were re
ceived last evening to put to sea Immediately.
The Alert will start to-night, and will steam to
Ban Jos6 in about ten days. 8orao days asm
word was received here that Dictator Barrios
bod chartered one of the Pacific Moll way-port
boats to stand by off Ocos for the purpose of
transporting trcops from that place to Ban Jose,
and thence to Guatemala city. It is supposed
here that the charter was merely a blind to hold
tho vessel, so that the Presldtnt might leave the
country should his followers be dofeated.
Miguel Carrlllo, Guatemalan Consul In this
city, has requested Collector of the Port John P.
Jackson to observe strict watch on vessels de
parting for South and Central America, or for
the South Sea Islands. Seuor Carrlllo has re
ceived information that an expedition is fitting
out in Ban Francisco or vicinity to carry men.
arms, and money to the insurgents against tho
Government of Royno Barrios, Dictator of Gua
temala. The Guatemalan Consul has warned
tho Collector particularly to keep his oyo on the
schooner Vine, recently from Alaska. It is not
known on what grounds the Consul acts.
WASiimoTOX, Sept, 17. Application for an
other warship to assist the Alert In protecting
American Interests in Guatemala while tbe
present revolution lasts was made 'o the State
Department to-day by D. Lynch Pringle. United
States Consul at Guatemala City. The request
will not be granted unless the trouble becomes
more serious. In his telegram Consul Pringle
reported the defeat of the Government troops
at Quezaltenango yesterday. The town Is In the
mountains, fifty miles Inland. PreDarntlons for
hurrying the departure of the Alert are being
made at San Francisco. She will stop on her
way to Central America at Acapulco, Mexico,
to receive final instructions from the State and
Navy departments.
SECRETARY GAOE IX CHICAGO.

CmcAoo. Sept. IT.' Secretary of the Treasury
Lyman Gage arrived in Chicago to-day on his
first visit home since his acceptance of the Cabi
net place last March. During the forenoon he
-visited the First National Bank, of which be was
President for many years. In an Interview Mr.
Gage said he was hero to look after his private
business. In reply to a question as to whether
he believed the financial conditions of the coun
try were improving steadily, he said:
"I think the country generally Is Improving.
It Is hardly necessary to speak of this, for the
reason that the general conditions of the country
speak for themselves. The improvement is
marked."
In speaking of tbe gold reserve, Mr. Gage
said that It was ample and Increasing steadily.
He believed that we bad rather more of a gold
reserve than we needed. Ho declined to talk
upon tbe new Currency Commission, saying
that men who stood high In tbe business world
had been selected, and be bad perfect confidence
In them. He could not predict what would be
tbeouto me of their deliberations and investigations.
tied T" was asked.
" Not by any means, came Mr. Gage's answer.
"It ought to be so considered, especially for
the welfare of the country, but so long as Mr.
Bryan and tbe other side keep up this agitation
It cannot be considered settled."
"Do you think that the national paper money
movement, recently organized, will carry any
weight with it I"
"I think not. A money to be stable mus' be
redeemable in something of value, and an Irre
deemable currency is unattainable. It is prac
tically the same as the old Greenback movement."

of the Commfssnrt of Police in "The Circus
Girl" nt Daly's Theatre, did not appear last
night. He wss reported sick at tho theatre
shortly before the curtain rose, and an under
study took bis place.
The cause of his non-appearance was that he
had been lockod up in tho West 100th street
police station on a charge of stabbing his wife
and their servant. Ho could not bo balled, as
the charge, being u felony, required thepresence
of a magistrate to ball him. Cook lives at 10
West 10i!d street with his wife, who was Kvolyn
Hall, daughter of William II. Hall, a builder, of
Z03 West Seventy-third street. Sho Is 23 years
old.
Cook got home yesterday afternoon, wild with
drink, and quarrelled with his wlfo. In bis
drunkon rage he picked up a knife and chased
her around the house. When Llzzlo Drown, the
servant, tried to wrest the knife from him he
stabbed her in the right hand. Ho then stabbed
his wife in tho back of the head.
The screaming of the women attracted a
crowd In front of the house, and Policeman
McGloln of tho West 100th street station
finally came- along. Meanwhile. Dr. A. K.
Smith, who lives in Cook's house, hastened to
the assistance of the wotnon and succeeded in
disarming Cook. Policeman McGloln put Cook
under arrest and called an ambulanco from the
Manhattan Hospital,

station. Wbon asked why ho had stabbed his
wife he shook bis bead and said:
" I guess I must bavo been crazv."
He was locked up. Mrs. Cook, It was said, was
not seriously wounded, tbe stab wound, although
three Inches In length, being superficial. Sbe
went to her father's house as soon ns it was
dressed. The servant's hand was attended to
by one of the doctors. Her hurt was merely
superficial also
Cook's part In " The Circus Girl " is not of
great Importance. He played the rolo of
Xaooleon in Kathryn Kidder's company In
" Madame Sana Gene."
Cook met Ms present wife when she became
a pupil In the Lvceum School of Acting In
1S01. She was described as the "prettiest
and aptest pupil" in the school at
that time. She was a Harlem belle,
and was well supplied with money by her
father, who Is apparently wealthy. Sno enter
tained lavishly, and gave frequent suppers at
tbe Hoffman House to her dramatlo friends.
Cook was at that time the husband of Madge
Carr. who was olaylng with Roland Reed's com
pany. He met ber while he was with E. H. Soth

married Miss Hall.
It was said last night that tho present Mrs.
Cook hod disputes with her husband, because uf

OXE ROUT RECOVERED.
It Csne to the larrac After the RnUtag or
tho CaUkllL
The steamboat CatsklU. which sank in the
North River oil Fifty-eighth street on Wednes
day evening after a collision with the St. Johns,
was raised yesterday afternoon. One body, that
of Mrs. Maria McDonald of Guttenburg, N. J.,
was recovered. That of her daughter, Mrs.
Susan Morris, and possibly that of lit
tle Bertie Tlmmerman are thought to be
In the wreck still, for. although the boat
was towed down the river some distance It was
not thoroughly searched owing to the coming of
darkness. Mrs. Morris was at her mother's
aide at the t me of the accident, and Is pre
sumed to have met a similar fate. For this
reason her body Is more surely thought to be
in the boat than that of the Tlmmerman boy,
wbo may hare been knocked overboard In the
panic following the collision.
Tbe Merritt-Chapman Wrecking Company
had charge of the work of raising tbe CaisUll.
Tho tugs Reliance and Monarch commenced the
task on Thursday afternoon. Divers were em
ployed to place the heavy chains under the
boat's hull, and also to srarcb for tho bodlet
supposed to be on board. In the middle of the
afternoon, tbe stern of tbe boat, which n as
much higher than the bow, which bad been
forced Into the river's lottom. was raised by
means of the chains and derricks.
During the operation Henry McDonald, tbe
son of Mrs. McDonald, stood on one of the tugs,
A few minutes after Ibe ralslng.was accom
plished he noticed a body comn to the surface of
tbe water and recognized it as that of his
mother. He called assistance and the body was
taken ashore, where an undertaker's wagon
was waiting to receiva It, so sure was McDon
ald that be would find tho bodies of both his
mother and sister on tbe boat. The body was
removed to the West Forty-seventh street po
lice station, where It was krpt nntil last night,
when a Coroner's permit for removal wn se
cured. Then the body was taken to Guttenburg.
The fact that Mrs. McDonald's body was not
found by the divers and yet came In the sur
face as the result of the raising of the CatsklU
n-akf-s MrDoualil all the more convinced that
his sister's body Is still In the wreck. The un
dertaker who had charge of Mrs. McDonald's
body said that from his cursory examination of
it she bad not been badly Injured before death,
which. In his opinion, was duo to drowning.
The CatsklU was towed t the foot of West
Thirtieth street, nnd.it being dark then, was
tied up for the night. She will bo thoroughly
searched to-day.

desecration of their church last night by Kd
ward Bartlett, who, from lt bolfry, announced
through a megaphone the winning number In a
lottery superintended by Waltor Scott, pro
prietor of tho Bradley House. Mr. Scott is the
man who defeated tho Law and Order League
of Connecticut in tbe Superior Court of the
State a short time ago. He was the proprietor
of the Waverly Inn, a road bouso on tho Cheshire
turnpike. Ho had a llccnso to sell liquor two
yoora ago. Then the town went for prohibition.
Ho had soveral thousands of dollars' worth of
stock In his cellars. He lockod the cellars and
had seals put on tbo doors by a local magistrate.
The Law and Order people broko open the cel

damages. The caso was fought for two years
in tho courts and Scott uou. Last year the
town went for llccnso.

Yesterday the pupUs held a meeting' and de

pupils marched in a body to tbo Mayor's ofllce
and Jess Love presented resolutions adopted
by the school. Then William Mlllette mado
an address in which he told tho Ma) or that
they would lnv't him to tho High School build
lngbut they wore o cmwdedlthat they feared
tho entrance of a man of tho Mayor's corpu

Mayor Sickle promised to use his good olHccs
with the Council to Micnro the needed appropri

The High School situation Is curious. Tbe
Board of Education for eight rears has asked
for a new building. The legislature author
ized the Council to issue bonds for fl 80.000 to
purchase a site and erect a buUdlng If tho peo
ple so voted. Tho people voted 5 to 1 in favor,
and now the Council refuses to make the ap
propriation for fear of raising tho tax rate.

Tbo fast steam yachts Vamoose, on nod by
Frank Morrell. nnd the Marietta, the property
of Harrison B. Moore, collided shortly before 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon off the- Battery,
damaging the Vamoose, but not to such an ex
tent as to delay her usual afternoon trip up tbe
Hudson more than about half an hour. The
Vamoose had just taken on board ber owner
and a party of friends at tho yacht oasln below
Pier 1. She made a wide detour between Gov
ernor's Island and the Battery, swinging around
to tho westward when in the channel. The Ma
rietta was heading north toward the Battery
filer, stemming the strength of the ebb tide In
he teeth of ball n gale from tbe northwest.
Tbe pilot on tbo Vamoose tried to cross the bows
of the larger yacht, but with the strong wind
and tide bearing her seaward, it was Impossible,
and the short bowsprit on Mr. Moore s yacht
struck thuHiiiallcr vessel abaft tbe funnel and
swept her deck rloar. Everything was parried
aw ay. including the boat and davits on the star
board side and the brass stanchions on both
sides from nmldsblp. Tbo sailors on tho Va
moose bad a lively time dodging tbe bowsprit as
It swept atl,
Tbe Marietta wasnot damaged, and her owner,
II. II. Moore, stated after tbo accident that In
his opinion the Vamoose was to blame In trying
to cross bis lions under the existing circum

after a short delay with Mr. Morrell and his
guests on board.

DIAZ'S ASSAILANT KILLED.
LYSCI1ED RY A UOR IX MEXICO'S
CITY HALL.
HI. Ilodi Hacked and Slashed with More Than
a Hundred Rtltettoeo tlunrds Brushed A.lde
nnd Doors Knocked to Hpllnlers Nome Ar
rests nnd a Trlnl Likely to Follow Them.
Citv or Mexico, Sept. 17, Between 1 and 'J
o'clock this morning Arnulfo Arroyo, who at
tempted to kill President Diaz yesterday, was
hacked to death by a mob in tho City Hall. The
prisoner received almost countless wounds, in
flicted by sharp Btllettoes.
Yesterday afternoon Arroyo was examined by
the Chief of Pollco, Col, Velasquez, In order to
learn his antecedents, his motive in tbo assault
on Gen. Diaz, and, it possible, whethor or not, as
broadly hinted, there wns a conspiracy to tako
the life of the President. When Arroyo was
taken Into tho ofllco of the Chief of Pollco yes
terday ho was In a desperate condition. His
clothes were torn, ho was batless, and his long
hair was dlshovcllod. His face was distorted
with passion and pain, hut he botrnj cd no signs
of fear.
Later Arroyo began to act like a madman, and
finally worked himself up to Buch a frenzy that
it bocamo necessary to put him in n strait
jacket. He fro t hod at tho mouth, and hissed
out that he had intended to kill Gen. Diaz, and
wanted to do it with tho President's own swore".
Arroyo bocamo exhausted toward tbocvcnlng.
Food was given him, and later the strait
jacket was removed so he could sleep, tbe inten
tion being to contlnuo tho Investigation early
this morning.
Accounts vary as to tbo number of lynchers,
but from 100 to 200 men must have entered tbe
City Hall. Tbe mob gathered quickly nnd tho
members of it sprang upstairs like wild beasts.
They broke through the doors and rushed to the
front room, where tho assassin was confined.
The doors offered little resistance, being of
wood with glass panels.
The glass was shattered In a moment, and tbe
next second both doors leading to the prisoner's
cell were brokon into splinters. The lynchers
rushed pell-mell into the small apartment in
their anxiety to seize the criminal. Maurlo
Sanchez, an o nicer, and Antonio Mllncz, a police
man, attempted to stay the adranco of the mob,
at first pleading in the name of law and order,
and then threatening to kill tbo Invaders, but
tbey were thrown aside, each receiving painful
bruises.
Tho lynchers, with drawn stilettoes, rushed
upon their victim. So eager were they to plant
their blades in the prisoner's body that many
narrowly escaped the thrusts aimed at Arroyo.
Those who failed to stab tho prisoner whllo ho
was alive satisfied their thirst for vengeance by
hocking his lifeless body to pieces. Not a mem
ber of the mob left the hall until he had thus
shared In the execution.
Special Officer Cabrera, who was taking a nap
in his office when tho mob entered the hall, was
soon aroused, and, although be acted without
fear, ho was powerless to check the lynchers.
After being assaulted repeatedly ho ran to a
window and fired his pistol for assistance. A
number of policemen responded tardily ond
arrested about twenty persons after tbe lynch
ers had left the City Hall, and there Is doubt
whether thoso arrested had participated in tho
lynching. Tbey will bo subjected to a thorough
examination In the police station In Callevcnero
to-morrow, and, if sufficient evidence Is adduced
upon which to hold them for trial, they will be
confined in Jail upon the cbargo of murder.

plore tho headquarters of tbo Nooksack for tho
ledges from which the placer gold found
further down was worked. Tho prospectors

London, Sept. 17. Tho Foreign Oflloo has -!
Issued a bluo book of 130 pages containing tbo ii
correspondence with tha United States Govern- i
ment respecting the seal fisheries in Bohring nnn
Sea. It contains 107 despatches covering tha SBn
period from tho beginning of 1803 to July, 1607. $!
Lord Salisbury, replying to Secretary of State) J's
Sherman's famous despatch of May 10, 1807, snH
sent a short noto to Ambassador Hay on July l'i
28. in whlcnhcsald: ji
"I have to stato that ber Majesty's Govern- aan
ment are willing to agree to a meeting of ex- JH
pcrts, nominated by Great Britain, Canada, and
tho United States, in October next, when fur- L
tlier Investigations to be made on the Islands '
during tbe present BcasonwIU have been com- ''ii
pleted, MH
"Tho object of tho meeting would be to arrive) i
at correct conclusions respecting tho numbers, 'nan
condition, nnd habits of tho seals frequenting !
tho Prlbylov Islands at tho present time, as !
compared with several seasons previous, and &i
subsequent to tho Paris award. SH
"It seems to her Majesty's Government that i
Washington would be tbo most suitable pine
for such meeting. H
"The other portions of Mr.Shcrman's despatch. H
In so far as they require any reply from her
Majesty's Government, havo been answered
by anticipation in despatches which I l
addressed to her Majesty's Ambassador all H
Washington on April 2 and May 7 last, and 'H
which havo bocn communicated to tho Govern- '
ment of tho United States." -iH
Tbo foregoing deals only with one of Mr.
Sherman's points. Colonial Focretory Chamber- i?
lain apparently undertook to refute others, nl
which he docs in nn Important communication 'i
covering four columns addressed from the Co "'
lonial to tbo Foreign Office. This despatch Is 'anI
sure to be regarded here as an nbloandmaa- sl
tcrly refutation. ' H
Mr. Clinmbcrlain's despatch, which is dated ''H
July 'JO, lb07, professes to show that Great ''!
Britain has taken adequate measures, much jH
more complcto In some directions than those H
taken by the United States, for.sccurlng the en- sni
fnrccment of tho regulations. ''n
It was never Intended by the tribunal of arbl- sbbbb1
trillion that the officers of the l'mt"d States ansi
should havo tho power of supervising or ran- !
trolling tho nctlou of British naval and customs
olllcers, as Mr. Sherman drmnndx, In tho in- '!
spcctlon of skins tha British Government, ian
says Mr. Clinmberlnln, bus nut omitted to H
ndopt tho legislation necessar) to secure tho !
conviction of the guilty, but havo refused to ?!
pass legislation certain to ombarrnss and Injure ' bI
tbo innotctit. They refu-cd to seek legislation Jan
authorizing nn inspection of skins, because they ,4
do not bellero such inspection would serve any -!
useful purpose.
They have performed nlth tho utmost rigor ii!ai
all tho requirement n of tho award, but have 'H
