I-" The Marquis Apeztlgula, one of tho loader of
W the Cuban Loyalists, arrived In lull city jester-
jft dayonLaChampsgne. Blnce lost January he
Sir ha been abroad, for th6 greater pert of the time
iif, In Madrid, whero ho went to attend tho sessions
Wii of th Cortes. Ho l a member of tho Senate.
f ZJaat erenlne ho spoko freely with a reporter of
JL' Tn 8un about tho temper of Spain and tho
W situation of Cuba.
VS Although a Liberal In Spanish politics and to
that extent a sympathUerwith and supporter of
$ tho Bagasla Government, the Marquis is not In
' sympathy with tho present Cuban policy of
S' Spain, tho granting of nutonomy to the colony,
for ho docs not belle vo that It will solve tho
4 problem no has been represented as a rulo In
v tho papers of this country as a leader of the Au-i-
tonomlat party, but such representation has
& been erroileous, ho says, for ho is an Asslmlllst,
and though ho makes common cause with tho
Autonomists against the Insurgents, ho looks to
, assimilation Instead of segregation as tho final
3j Beans of bringing dosco to tho Island.
i So far as tho war Itself Is concerned the Mar-
if qnls thinks that the campaign about to bo
r begun by Blanco and his Chief of Staff, Gen.
I'ando, will deal a tlnnl and crushing blow to
W the insurgonts. Ho bases this opinion first on
the progress mado by Weyler (notso great, how
la UTtT' ne 8aT' Ba Bll0uul liavo Dcen opected) and
Te on bis confldonco In the ability, tact and energy
& Of Blanco and Pando. The Marquis alto spoke
M of tho Kcnoral kindly feeling of Spain, its Gov-
ernment and people, toward this country, say
fr tag that although they felt they had cause of
G complaint, thoy woro still friendly and war
f could arlso only on ovldenco of tho groatest nn
v friendliness on tho part of the United States.
., As President of the Union-Constitutional
X- party, the Marquis Is the representative of the
f bItra-Spanlsh class who believe that Cuba
t should be ruled with an Iron hand, who aro
much in sympathy with tho Weyler policy. Do-
;. spite bis sympathy with the weyler policy, ho
opposed Wey.er himself, and it is generally
i Understood that ho remained abroad in
f order to bo away from Cuba whllo Way
s' for was Captaln-Goneral. The relief of
3 Weyler and tho appointment of Blanco left
fl btm free to return to bis borne, but he Is ns
much opposed to the lllenco policy as he was to
v Weyler personally. He thinks that lllanco will
ff end the war. but ho docs not think tbatany
IC thing but tbo old-tlruo 8panlh colonial polity
S? will solve the problem, simply for tbo reason
- that he does not think the Cubans capable of
i governing themselves.
Sr "As 1 have not been In Cuba slnco last Jan-
f Tiary," be said to the roporter, " I am not in a
! position to make any Intelligent comments on
ft the state Of affairs tliera'I havo been in M idrid
5 tho greater part of tho time and am personally
f familiar with that end of -it. The present Gov
ernmont is tundqubtodly sincere in lta intention
f of bringing about the reforms that have becn
h plapncu, ana thoso reforms-will bo made by
? Gen. Hlnnco with nil possible haste, lam not
K. in sympathy, ttitb.thcni. Although a Liberal in
S Spanish politic In Cuba I' am an Assimlllst.
i. Our end 'IS t the same as that of the
.f Autonomists, tbo pacification of the island, the
') restoration of Its former prosperity, and its
t continued existence as n Spnnli.li colony. The
Autonomists call for a Cuban Ministry and a
s Cuban Congress of two bouses to take care of
all administrative matters, referring to tho con
s' tral powcrV tho metropolis (Madrid), all powers
if' of sovereignty. I cannot consider that aeolu
fr tlon of the difficulty. I bolievo In tbe policy of
r assimilation, by which the cltizenB of the col
t ony are Spanish citizens, held togother by
t Epanish tradition and enjoying the rlshts
1 of Spanish citizens; governed oy a central
I power in which they have adequate represontu
i tlon and for matters of administration having
, special laws. This is tho old colonial policy of
: fcpnln ahd, impaiting as it noes to the colonies
i more oC tlio Spanish character of Institutions,
. binds them moro closely to the old country.
f This Plan. I bjilleve, is rar bettor fitted to tho
; Bpinish than tbe English colonial plan of
. antonomy.
f" Of course, tbo first thing to do before any
plan can bo carried out Is to beat the Insurgonts.
i U'hatislhu common causo of allloialists.no
1 matter how they may differ as to the methods
-', of odmlnUtennir the affairs of the Island. That
; we will do this I am quite certain. Great ad-
Vances havo been made, and the coming cam-
f paign will bo decisive. Of that I am most con-
y lldent.".
" Do yo'a regard the Weyler administration as
i' a failure I"
X ."The Weyler administration," answorod the
-,' Xlarquts", " did not proauco as great results as
i. we ctpocted of it; not that he dla not-con-
7 tribute greatly to the lessening of tho rebels'
g, power."
s "Do you consider tho strength of the In-
V BurgentB less than It was a year ago 1"
"Most certainly, yes!" be repllod with em-
S, phasls. "They havo been losing ground con-
vjr Btantly. and with tbo new methods of lllanco
f they will be totally subdued."
"Why do you think; Bianco will get greater
W results than Weyler 1"
t?: "For seoral reasons. In tho first place he
.)b bas an acclimated army of not 1 ss than 150.000
A' tnen. Ills system of war will be much more
3 effective. Instead of relylni; wholly upon pur-
5 suing columns, as Weyler did, he is going to
? carry out tho moro effective method of -perrua-
6 Hon' occupation. Ho will divido tho Island Into
- sections, and carry on the war in each of these
Tr. sections under the conditions made necessary
bytimo and place. Once in possession of a
fti place he will not give it up, and thus constantly
& Increasing tho zones or occupation, he will
ft gradually drive tho rebels into narrower limits,
W until ho can crush them completely. This bo
& Will be able to do this winter. The robels have
f lost immensely. They have but one set of tao
fi tics, but oi strategy of n ar. That has cou
Jjf Olsted solely 'i destroying the country far and
A wide, harassing both troops and population,
ft driving the latter Into tho towns, and doing
ffs as much damaee as thoy can. Weyler'a col
0 vmns of pursuit went out and then came
S back again, holding none of tbo ground thoy
A won. But with a military occupation of
', tbe country that affords protection not only
g to the towns but to the rural districts and rural
s population tbo chief strength of the rebel will
e be taken away. I have great confidence in
' Blanco. He-is able, full of tact and enerpv, and
,5 bo has an nblo lieutenant In I'ando. By this
' policy the rebels will ho divided up into smaller
f Groups and their complete subjugation will be a
A Blatter of only a short time."
H "Is it the intention of Spain to send more
jB troops to Cuba!"
ft "It it is necessary she undoubtedly will, but
fe X do not think it will bo necessary. We have
j. lCO.OOO seasonod troops on tbe Island, quite
ft SufUUent to finish tho work. Of course now
ffi. and then 5,000 or so new troops are sent out to
m tako the plat oof tired soldiers who are to go
, home, but thcro will not be any larco reinforce
rnonts unless, as I said, it should bo deemed
pocessnry."
Cy: "I'o you think the chnrges of cruolty against
E", weyler have becn cxaggeraied 1"
x i "I do," answerod thu Marquis. "There has,
v X am sure, been no deliberate purpose of cruelty
p ontbepartof Spain. Tbe very nature of tho

Saturday to organlzo an association devoted to
tho Interosts'of horsemen 'generally. William
M, Clarke presided. The purpose of the asso

prefaced his address by saying that the or
ganization would not bo antagonistic to wheel
men, as had been reported. On tho contrary,
the association would bo most friendly. "Our
object." hoi continued, "Is to souuro, through
legislation, tho extension of Hood roads and
tho proper caro of roads already existing.
"We havo an Ocean Boulevard, but tbe name
is a misnomer. Beyond Twenty-second avenuo
tbo road is in a, wretched condition. It Is a mero
country road, worso than many of the highway
leading into it, Tbo Boulevard was designed
to bo a great popular drlvowav, but it is practi
cally useless between the point named and the
ocean. People who want to drive to tho Island
gcnorally tuin back when they reach the ave
nue. Wo can remedy the ovil by organization
and reasonable agitation.' .... . .

to have becn tbo. scene of a whipping post per
formance and threo young thieves were to be
punished; but the gathering of an Immense
crowd and the appearance of several policemen
caused a change of programme.
The angry butchers who first Intended to
whip tho culprits started to lynch them, but
failed. During the excitement George Cough
enau, an errand boy, wa stabbed In tbe breast.
A number ot the stallkeepers recently organ
ized n sort of vigilance committee to capture
the thieves who had been stealing from them.
The threo caught were negroes, ranging: from
12 to 15 yenrs old. Their capturo was the sig
nal for a gathering of tho butchers.
"Bring a roper shouted one of the captors,
and tho boys wero bound hand and foot. "To
the lamppost!" ordered one of the leaders.
" Bring a strap and wo will lash them." The
frightened boys begged for mercy.
By this time fully 1,000 persons were gathered
around tho place. Tho negroes were kicked and
used routrhly by the butchers, who became more
and more excited as the pressure of the sur
rounding throngs prevented the application of
the lash.
The roccs wore untied from the boy limbs
and adjusted around their necks. Then several
policemen pushed their war through the crowd
and added to the confusion. In tbe midst ot
which the thieves escaped.
Young Georgo Coughennii attempted to atop
the flight of the fugitives. One of them turned,
nulled a dirk, and plunged it into bis breast.
The boy was sent to th City Hospital. Afters
ward tho police arrested three young'negroes,
supposed to be thos who escaped.

The old Suydam farm, on Church avenue and
Ca arsle lane, Flatbush. closo by the Holy Cross
Cemotery, was the sceno of mysterious opera
tions on Friday night and Saturday. John Suy
dam, tho owner, went to tho barn on Saturday
morning to look after the cattle. He caught
sight of a pile of dirt which had been dug up
only a few hours. Closer inspection revealed to
Suydam what looked very like a grave of regu
lation size. It was 0 feet long and deep.
Suydam had been looking dally from his porch
on thousands of graves and gravestones, but his
discovery puzzled him. The farm bands ex
pressed ignoracce. Tbo barns and outhouses
and the Suydam bouse were searched; nothing
was missing. At sunrise yesterday Suydam
hurried to the Grant street police station and
notified Cupt. Knlpo. The Captain, together
with Koundsman Knox and Policeman Wren,
hastened to the farm.
The bole bad becn closed up. but it was clearly
marked by a mound ot eirlh. Tbe police, to
convince tbemselvoe, poked sticks down through
the dirt and it yielded easily. Mr. Suydam ap
peared to be amazed. He couldn't account for
tho change. All persons nbout tbe place were
aucstioned, hut they were unable to throw any
glit on the subject. They had not seen any
body around the farm or near the hole, so they
said. Mr. Suj dam declared that be hadn't seon
Mir strangers either. Ho Bald it was possible
for one or two men to fill up the hole in ten
minutes. He had been absent only an hour.

Anniversary t the Peandlns 'ar the
Water Street Mlsslsa Fitly Celebrated. ,
Tbe twenty-fifth anniversary of the old Water
Street Mission, which was founded by Jerry Mo
Auley.wa. celebrated in Carnegie Hall ye.ter
day by the men and women who are Interested
In rescue work In this city and i many oufcof
town rescue workors. whose mission sprang
from tho old Water street establishment Thore
were two rocetlngi, one in the afternoon and
another in the evening. At the latter every seat
In tho house and all of tho boxes were ocoupled. I
It was an audience made up largely of persons ,
whose knowledgo of tho work carried on by the'
mission Is confined to what they have read, and it
was decidedly not the kind of an assemblage j
the MoAuley convert are In the habit ot ad- 1
dressing. At the conclusion ot each meeting a
collection was taken up, whloh, It Is hoped, will
bo sufficiently Urge to pay tho deficit of last
year and provide onough to carry on tho work '
of resone in the lower part of the city during
1808 on a larger scale than ever before. Nearly
2,000 pledges to pay amounts of over a dollar
wero rocelved In addition to the cash contribu
tions, and it Is believed that the total' trill bo
about 010,000.
William T. Wardwoll. Prohibition candidate
for Mayor at the late election, presided at the
afternoon mooting. In an address explaining
the work of th mission, ho said:
"It was twenty-five years ago this month that
the MoAuley Mission was opened In Water i
street. It was founded by Jerry McAuley, a ,
man who but a few months before had been a j
tblof, a prlzo fighter, and a tough. He wos a
Water street tough, If any of yon know what
that means, a river pirate, and even in that !
wicked district in which he lived a terror to tho
dive keepers. .... - , , ,
"Thorescuo mission which he founded Is not '
a school of theology or science. It is not a
Keeley cure; ills simply a great light in a dark
place, a Bpot whero grace is free. This is tho ,
spirit and light of tbe Water Street Mission. It
is often asked: ' What kind of people do we deal i
with I' and 'aro they worthy I In response we I
can only say that no certificates ot character aro
required, no questions asked, and tbe door are I
open to all. . . , . ,
" We believe that tho whole world can bo I
savod by love, and that lovo alono is tho prln- i
ciple which can brine about this result. Only a I
few years ugo a man In delirium tremens stag
gered Into the mission and when asked to say a
prayer, glared wildly around and then cried
out: 'Lord, give mo sleep!' Ho was taken care
of and converted, but in his shattered health
lived only a short time. Ho died a Chrlstiau,
however, and I say that to save that one soul waa
worth all of the efforts ot the men and women
of the Water Street Mission." . .
Samuel II. Hartley, superintendent of the mis
sion, spoke next. "Since you wouldn't come
down to us," hr said. " wo thought we'd come
up to you. You Aro sitting with more rodeomed
drunkards than you over were among boforo in I
your llvis. They won't hurt you, though. .
Tney're all well dressed and decent men. I can
look at some of them from whore I stand, and
my, what a transformation since tbe time tbey ,
came Into the mtssionl I wish you could see
them as I soe them.
"I am a typical representative of rescue mis- I
slon work myself. You should have seen me
fifteen years ago, wbon I went into tbo Crc
morne Mission. I was Just out of the lock-up
and on the verge ot delirium tremens. 1 heard
Jerry McAuley say that night that ho had onco
been a drunken bum like myself, but had been
saved. When Jerry called on those who wanted
to he savod to raise their hands mine was the
first up, though I'd rathor havo gone out on tho
street and fought a dozen men than do It. Jorry
made us all walk to where he stood, and then he
"'Dear Jesus, pity these poor fellows he
said. 'They're in a hole; help them out.' Thou I
Sirs. Jerry turned In and said: 'Lord, you saved '
me; do tho sume for thoso poor tellows,' and
from that moment I felt I wmb saved."
President Frank Moss of the Police Board told
somothing ot the history of the Sixth and
Fourth wards and the difficulties which the
authori tes encountered years ago in changing
the conditions there. " We must always have I
tho police the courts, ond the Judges to protect I
society,' ' he said, " but we must admit that these
Institutions only serve to harden the criminal
ond render him more desperate. They don't
save the souls of men. They rulo them
In a measure by fear. It was tbe
men and women who went Into these hotbeds of
vice and crime withBlblesinsteottot clubs, with
kind words Instead. of curses, that w ought the .
change. They planted the now famous Five '
Point Mission in an old brewery and thoy
taught the children a lesson of lore, a lesson
which went Into tbe homes and had Us effect
tbore. Nowaday If people .want to see the
slums they don't go to the .Five Point. There's
nothlnic there for thorn to see.
" What the Five Points Mission was to the
Sixth ward the McAuley Mission was to tbe
Fourth ward. It did thore what the prison, the
court, and tho policeman's club couldn't do. It
has transformed what was once tbe worst sec
tion in the whole city, and it ha done it by the
doctrine of love." ..... .
Bishop C. C. McCabe of the Methodist Epis
copal Church, who spoke next, said that the
Jerry McAuley Million was the most wonder
ful place In the city, to him.
"It illustrates." he continued, "the feet that
the day ot miracles is not past; that Jesus is here
yet, cleansing the poor, healing tbe sick, and
opening tho eyes of the bit d. Jesus is still
doing bis work ot salvation, which is, after all,
the greatest miracle of all. How easy it Is
sometimes to save these unfortunates!
" Shortly after the war I saw a drunken sol

Col. II. H. Uadley. bead ot St. Bart olomow's

"Now, friends," Bald Bishop McCabe In con
clusion, "go down to this Wator street mission
and see for yourselves the work It's doing. Down
thore no one Is be) ond hope. Thoy may look It,
but they never are."
Police Sergeant MoNally, who was for many
years In the Oak streot police station, told of
tbe good work done by the mission, which ho
knew of from personal observation, and then
tbo afternoon mooting concluded.
At the evening session the principal feature
was tho testimony of tbe reformed thieves.
gamblers, and drunkards who have been saved
y tho mission. It was a sample of what goes
on every night in the McAuley Mission, but It
was new and evidently very interesting to tbe
people In Carnegie Hall.
Rube Johnson, who was Introduced by Mr.
Hadleyas I he "hi crest bilk that over walked
tbe streets." told his story as follows:
' I am 78 rears ot age. As a boy 1 learned to
drink. At 30 I was a drunkard; at 501 was n
sot. Nino times I went lo an inebriate homo
after I was 00 yews of age, and struggled, but
failed to accomplish anything. I was on tho
verge of dollrlum tremens frr tbe third tlmo,
when I slaggored into the MoAuley Mission.
There I found Jesus Christ. I saw men there
who had been like me; they had reformed and
were holding their heads up. I resolved that I
could do It If they could, end from that day to
this I bare not tasted or desired to taste liquor."
James C.Edwards, known in tho mission as
" Big Jim," told how bo stagcorod Into the mis
sion eleven yenrs ncro a half an hour aftor leav
ing n stale-beer dive. He had been a drunkard
from boyhood, bo said, and hadn't a friend in
tho world. Ho was savod, he said, and asked
the audience to pray that be might stand Urm
to the end.
Pbil Magulre, rui old man. who, Mr. Hartley
said, was tho only nun living now who bad
sorted In Sing Slnu- with Jerry MoAuley. told
of tbe contention of McAuley and of his own
conversion. Throe ilmus he bscksllded, he said,
but Jerry Mi-Aulcy finally savod him. Tho
meeting ended with singing and prayers.
KANSAH'S ANTI-TRUST LAW.
Attorney-General Snelllnir Has Discovered
That It Is Belns Violated.
TorEKA, Kan,, Nov. 21. Attorney-General
Snelllng yosterday procured, in a purely occi
dental way, direct ovldonco of a violation of tho
Farroley Anti-Trust law by the Kansas Whole
sale Grocers' Association.
O. Z. Kelso of tho Parkhurst-Davis Wholosalo
Company and T. J. Gordon of Kansas City, sell
ing an Eastern brand of coffee, walked Into Mr,
Snelllng's otllco to settle a dispute,
Gordon asserted most positively that the Far
reley law had becn declared unconstitutional.
It leaked out that he had drclinod to sell
KoltiO Home goods' unless the latter signed a
contract, ana the Topcka man replied that
such a document would be In violation of
tho Karreloy law. Gordon immediately repllod
that the Furreley law was a thing of the past,
and tho argument which ensued brought about
the visit to Iho Attorney General's office.
Mr. Snelllng intoruied Mr. Gordon that the
law bad net or been held tube unconstitutional
and I hat his action In refusing to sell the coffee
without it contract was in direct vlolutiun ot the
enactment, Mr, Snelllng will take stops to pun
ish tho offenders this week.

The Sanation Chaetle a ta rTxt Tear We
Ilea fr Soveraer.
TlABiusDcno, Nor. 31. Politicians here are
all at soa regarding the contest ot 1808. 8o far
a Gov. Hastings is concerned, he is maintaining
a silence that I almost dense in Its Intensity.
Attornoy-Gencral MiCormlck Is saying nothing,
but thinking a great doal. Ho may peak be
fore tho close of the month, but the probability
Is that be will await further developments. Ho
has promised to give out hi view later, but
the Attorney-General Is a discreet as well ns a
couragedus man, and be will bldo his time. Ho
has some very interesting and entertaining
views of tho situation In this State, a regarded
from a political standpoint, if ho would but con
sent to give them for publication. Speaking
privately, be discloses his Idea of tho Repub
lican dllomma In a very breozy and splrltod
way.
There is no doubt that tho Governor and hi
Premier have a thorough understanding as to
tho future, but neither ot this time Is ready to
announce his plans. Both are probably await
ing an opening, and when It comes thoy will
have some things to say that will keep tho
polltloal waters stirred for a fow days. Recently
Mr. McUormlck has becn troubled with a throat
ailment that has annoyed htm considerably, and
he will give attention to this physical matter
before becoming too deeply Involved in the
polltloal strife that Is Impending.
Gov. Hastings has looked carefully over the
field and he thinks thore Is troublo nhoad for
omobody. He knows that the somebody Is not
himself. Ho realizes tho grip Senator Quay has
on tho machino of tho Republican party, but ho
also realizes how terribly aroused tho people ot
Pennsylvania are and how ready thoy aro to
Join In tho fray next year. Ho docs not mini
mize tho force of tho Swallow movement this
year. Ho knows that It means a protest which
tho peoplo who aro pretending to manago tho
party's affairs in this State must heed. It is a
trango coincidence that whllo Swallow was
anathematizing the Governor throughout tho
campaign the Governor was overwhelmed with
telegrams and letters the day after tho election
congratulating him on tho indorsement of his
course in disapproving tho wickedncBS ot tho
Legislature as evidenced by tho big voto cast
for Swallow. Peoplo reason peculiarly now and
tnen.
Secretary of tho Commonwealth Martin Is as
reticent concerning tbo outlook and plans for
next year ns tho Go ernor and Atlonioj-Gcn-oral.
He says it Is too tar off lo discuss, but ho
probably docs not expoct anybody to believe
thut be and tho other leaders of tho party aro
so Indifferent as to give no thought to tbe nom
inations next year. He and others pretend that
tho mattor will not be seriously taken up until
alter tbe holidays, but tbo wayfaring man,
though a fool, can see that tho nig and llttlo
politicians all otor tho Stato are doing
all that thoy can to carry through their
individual schemts. Congressman William
Council of Scranton perhaps understands
by this tlmo thut he bas been building his
political houso on tbe Band and that the waters
ot the approaching storm will wash It away. It
was the hope of tbe io.il region candldato that
be would full heir to tho favor ot tho State ad
ministration, but nobody hero thinks for a mo
ment that tho Governor will help tho Scranton
mau as against his Attorney-General, who, be
side being a memberof his olflciul family, is also
his persona and intimato friend and adviser.
Gov. Hastings will do all that ho can to help
McCormlck if the Attorney-General tdiould do
clde to be a candidate, which Is doubtful.
It Is believed that thu Governor nnd his Attorney-General
have talked tbo matter over
very carefully and that tbey bavo come to tho
conclusion that the tlmo Is not proptlious for a
member ot tbe butte administration to be nomi
nated. Mr. McCormlck is not the man to go
into a fight for tho muro satisfaction of being on
thti ticket, win or lose. If bo enters tbo contest
it will be only after ho has thoroughly canvassed
tho situation and has persuadod himself that
there Is n fair chance of election. He is not a
moonbeam chaser and is not n purchaser of gold
bricks.
Congressman William A. Stones supporters
frlve him credit for having a larger personul fol
owing than most persons concede him. They
say that he will draw largely from the soldiers
of the Stato and thut his record on Immigration
will be a big help to him in tho tight ford u-
Satcs. His most serious drawback is tho well
etlned opposition of C. L. Mugeo, the Pittsburg
leader. Under no circumstances will he agree
to tho nomination ot Stone, und thus handi
capped in bis own county and having in addi
tion tho lnaorsemout of Senator W. 11. Andre vs,
who is pulling the strings behind tho Bconcs, it
Is not hard to see tho end ot tbe Allegheny can
didate's boom. As tor tbo other Stone Charles
W. the Congressman from Warron, ho will
have a big lead In the almost solid
voto of tho northwest and tbo support of
rmny interior counties. Ills splendid record
in Congress and his previous unsullied service
for the State in positions of honor will g vo him
a tine start when the battlo opens In earnest.
He is neither Quay nor antl Quaj , hut belongs to
that body of Republicans wnicn believes that
there can be a party without personality. Sonio
hint havo fallen horo recently which Indicate a
purpose on the part ot some leading party men
of the State to unite upon tho Warren man in
order to assure peaco next year. They bellat o
that he would be iutinclblo In the face ot any
indopondont movement. Tho Daronport men
in Erie, who are the Andrews mon, will do all
tbey can to take that county from Stone, but
his friends Bay that their schemes a ill fail.
The Wurren man was In Philadelphia on Fri
day, and it Is known that he has had confer
ences with some ot the party leaders In tbe east
ern nnd tt estcrn ends of the Stato. as well as
those In the Interior. Until now ho has not
pressed a, vigorous canvass, but his friends are
now going In to win. and they express tho great
est confidence In the result. Hire Quay and
anti-Quay men say that he Is tho most avallablo
man in the fiold, but tho aggressive otitis aro for
Attornoy-Genernl McCormlck and hope he tt ill
consent to become a i andldate.
V. A. B. WIdener Is not seriously regarded as
a candldato here, where politicians are wont to
gather from all parts of tho State. That is to
sajr, his chances of success are not rtgurded
seriously. Most parly men say his nomination
would bo suicidal, and others think that certain
alleged leaders aro backing him for the purpose
of getting tbe necessary cash to run what prom
ises to bo a vory expensive campaign. It re
mains to bo soon whether WIdener w ill permit
himself to bo bilked in this fashion by those w bo
have played at this sort of thlug before. There
is also being advanced here a theory that WId
ener is to be used to disrupt still further the
Quay forces In Philadelphia.
Tho long and short of It all la that tho politi
cians, big ana little, are groping blindly and
hoping that something will occur to nhod a ray
of light across tbe darkness of a very pcrploxlng
situation. So far as the llttlo follows who crawl
in the shadow of tbo bigger bosses aro con
cerned, they ore in hot water. They don't know
whether to cheer for Quay or against him. After
the tlrst of the year there will be some lining up,
and tbe more conservative party men aro of the
opinion that the selections for tbo State ticket
by tho Re. ubllcans should be carefully mado or
defeat will surely follow.
PUPILS SI AT EAT ONIONS NOW.
Tbe Schoolteacher Objected, bnt Strategy
Snroxeded, and She Surrendered.
Topxka, Nov. 21. Topeka's onion war Is over,
and the onion has won. It began when Miss
Elmlra McCoy, a teacher In tbe Clay street
school sent throe onlon-enting pupils home to
have their breaths fumigated, and announced
that thoroaftor no pupil who ate onions would
be permitted to remain in tho room. Miss Mo
Coy wns upheld by Principal Prof. McCUntock,
and for two days tbe odlct stood.
Then tho pupils, under the leadership of an
embryo genius who saw an opening for an extra
vacation, took a hand. Yesterday morning
when school was callod Miss McCoy's room

One suspect was called up, convicted by his

stead of O'Connor It Is Said That the Conn
elltnan and Aldernan, Blert Are with Ulm.
Patrick Dlvvcr Is eW to have wrested the
Tammany leadership of the Second Assembly
district awny from Francis J. O'Connor, th
compromise leader chosen by Tammany's Ex
ecutive Committee last spring. Dlvver 1 the
bOBs of the district how. It Is said, and will be
recognized as such in the distribution ot
patronago and in tho control ot the polit
ical affairs of tho district. It was stated
at the Dlvvcr Club that at a meeting ot the
Tammany Executive Committee on Friday it
wns decided tb rocognlzo Justtco Dlvver as the
leader, although Mr. O'Connor was named to
dlstribnto tho Second Assembly district share
of tho $20,000 given to the city poor by tho
committee. Ill duties as leader, 11 is said,
will ccano there, nnd Dlvvcr will do tho dis
tributing of patronage.
There wa also a report that Councilman
Thomas F. Foloy and Alderman Jeremiah
Cronln, who got their nominations from tho
O'Connor-Brown faction, had assured Justice
Dlvvcr of their fealty to him, and had cut
away from Leader O'Connor. Neither Mr.
Foley nor Mr. Cronln was to bo found lait night.
Although Mr, Foley Is elected Councilman from
tho First Council district, his residence accord
ing to tho directory Is 212 Wost 130th streot.
Leader O'Connor ha trained with Alderman
Nicholas T. Brown slnco he was mado the com
promise leader.
Tho Tammany organization headquarters in
tho district Is the Mohawk Club, at Park row
and Pearl streot, but as this Is used as tho din
ing room of a Ralnos law hotel on Sundays,
tho members usually meet on the stdowalk at
Park row nnd William street.
Alderman Brown, when scon there last nlgbt.
Bald ho knew nothing about tho reportB and rc
forod inquirers to Leader O'Connor. A crowd
of Second district politicians were discussing
tho neWB on tho cornor. Mr. O'Connor Bald tho
reports were iiows to him. Ho certainly had
not received any official notification that he
had been deposed as leader. Ha had not seen
Messrs. Foloy or Cronln and could not say
whether they had deserted or not.
"I was namod as louder to distrlbuto the
money donated for charity by tho Tammany
Executive Committee at Friday's mooting, and
that certainly does not look as If I bail becn
deposed," he said. "I don't think anything
would bo done just now by tho Executive Com
mittee but should think It would wait until
tho matter Is settled at tho primaries un Doc.
28 next. Why, wo havo not oven received no
tico that thore w ould be a contest, as is the cus
tom, but, of course, wo expected one."
Tho Tammany Executive Committee Is not
bound by any rules In determining what shall
bo dono for tho bost Interests of the organiza
tion. Secretory McCarthy of tho Genoral Com
mittee of the district said:
"1 don't think there 1 anything In the re
port. If thore is It will bo the first time n suc
cessful district leader ha been turned down by
tho Tammany organization. Thut is not tlio
poller ef the organization. This is the banner
district in tho city, and we have made it so.
Wo hat o kept the organization together slnco
181)3, whon Dlvvcr stepped out and Aldor
ninn Brown was mado louder. We boat tho
Dlvver men at tho primaries last year and wo
will do It again this year, so that I don't think
Mr. O'Connor will be deposed."
At tho Dlvver Club, 59 Madison streot, a man
who Is very closo to Justice Dlvver said:
"It is a positive fact that Judge Dlvvcr was
settled upon as tha leader in tho Second Assem
bly district at Friday's meeting of tho Execu
tive Committee. It all came about because
O'Connor, tbo compromiso leader, did not play
fair. When Tammany's Executive Committee
decided to namo a compromise leader for the
district last spring and O'Connor, who was
then treasurer of our club, was selected, wo
felt that we would bo treated fairly and could
not mako any complaint, Slnco be was
appointed, however, he has been with Brown.
Why, in the last campaign O'Connor would not
even glvo us on election district Inspector, and
wo could not give a poor fellow a chance to
mako the prleo of an overcoat. Despite this
wo got our men together and had representa
tives in every district supplied with the sinews
of war to support tho ticket. Wo made this
the banner district of tho city, and now Brown
and O'Connor have only a handful ot followers
here."
Tho Dlvver men ay that thoy will beat the
O'Connor-Brown men out of their boots at tho
primaries this year, because Mike Callahan,
who aupportod Brow n last year at the primaries
and w us turned down, will now support them.
Ex-Police Justtco Dlvrer has always been
friendly with Richard Croker, and they have
been "chummier" than ever slnco election.
TITO REPU11LICAN CONTESTS.
Bareus and Bzayor Lead an Opposition te

There will be two interesting contests at tho
Republican primaries to be held on the night of

The fighting will be wholly within organization
lines und tho contestants will abide by tbe result.
The fight In the Twenty-first Assembly dis

lisher, against tbe leadership of Abraham
Gruber. Mr. Bareus was a candidate for tho
Republican nomination for Councilman In tbe
Fourth district. Ho lays his failure to get the
nomination to tbe door of Mr. Gruber. It was
the first venture Mr. Bareus had made
In politics. He confesses that ho rather
likes Iho game, and although his first
political ambition was crushed, be purposes
trying again. He had a conference on Saturday
with a lot of Republican workers of tbo district
at bis otllco in tho Constable building at Fifth
avenue and Eighteenth street, nnd asked their
aid in theflght against Loader Gruber. He has
Issued invitations to the same men and to others
to dine with him this evening at the Uptown
Association in the Constable building, when bis
plans of campaign will bo developed.
Mr. Bareus admitted yesterday that he was
after Leader Gruber'e scalp, nnd suld that he is
abovo all else a good Republican, and will make

It has been practically decided to continue as

All Republicans will be acquainted wltb the
E regress and dovelopmont of tbe plan and will

It Is expected that tbe Kings county Board of
Canvassers will finish their labors to-day. The
board has an appropriation of 91,000 to be used
in tabulating tho vote, and the friends ot the
Aldermen who are employed as tabulators are
anxious to get as much ot this as possible. The
tabulators are paid by tho day, and that may
account for the delay in tho canvass of the vote
In Brooklyn,
Nelson B. Klllmer, the Cits' candidate for As

has secured from Justice Maddox of the Su-
Ercme Court four orders to show cause why the

in the Seventh and Tenth districts of the Third
ward, should not bo nnsealed and tho ballot

He asserts that, on the face of the returns, ho
