PnAODB, Dec, 1. Th excitement resulting
; J from tlio political situation has led to violent
. j I iconcs of rioting In thli city, and to the killing
-. I and wounding of a number of persons who were
"j taking part In tho riotous demonstration!. Tbs
i streets jestutday were filled with mobs, which
'JjM, paraded up and down tlm thnroughf arcs, smash
er' fl Ing windows and Inflicting other damago upon
,"' f houses nnd shops occuplod by Germans. Tho
sl,y rlotorsalso Invaded the ormanclubsand cafes.
Jdi i and wrecked Bovoral of them. Tha outrages
I were Instigated by the Young Czech party.
JjLj The police made several efforts to quell the
ft disturbances, but such strong resistance was of-
y I fore J thst they wcro not ery successful. la
(if I tho conflicts many of tho police rocetved severe
V t !) Injuries, whilo eighty of the rioters were
A I wounded.
fc ' j ' Tho disorders wero resumed to-day, and they
' 3 wcro more serious than those of yesterday. All
" tho sIiods woro closed throughout tho day, their
I 'j proprietors fearing that tho mob would loot
I tliem.
ft' J j In the afternoon n Czech mob began to pillage
8. tho houses of Germans and Jens. They also
, ' entered the Institute of Chemistry and Anat-
K't! omy and the German University, where they,
J 'in in cure wantonness, smashed all the valuablo
2 J, srlentlflo Instruments contained in the institu-
J('I tlons.
lsfI Tho situation finally becorao so serious that
-txal- the aid of tho military was invoked to restore
f; order. Fivo thousand soldiers were distributed
fyi'jBl in the disturbed quarters of the city, but their
fl ill presenco did not deter the rioters to any groat
tflffll extent.
Mill This ovcnlng a collision occurred between the
BpBjf troops and a mob In tho Zlkow quarter. The
& jS soldiers wcro ordered to fire upon tho rioters,
wIH which they did unhesitatingly, killing two men
fj j and wounding many others. Later amob In Use
& I Smlchow quarter mado bonfires of furnlturo
W. I - that had been looted from Gorman houses and
rjjf J I . schools. When the gendarmes attempted to
& I J disperse, the rioters a number of the latter drew
(IE I I revolvers and threatened to shoot them. 'Iho
?V)j officer commanding the gendarmes was In no
itfl mood to parley with the rioters. Ho at onco
ljiv, gavoorders to his men to fire into tho mob with
2isVi ball cartridges, and a volloy was delivered with
4 most serious effect.
It is reported that tbcro has been rioting at
I Pllsen, fifty-two nilbs southwest of Prague.
Tho position here is ugly. The excesses are
directly tho result of the doings at Vionna.
Tho Czechs aro on tho vorge of losing the ex
I ceptlonul position they gained during tho Pro-
. I mlershipof Count Badenl, and aro determined
I to assist their Deputies at Vienna In bargaining
II wltb tho new Cabinet.
S The Germans hero have offered noprovoca-
fc" tion for the attacks that have been made on
W them, beyond tboir natural Jubilation over
h' Count Undent's downfall. Ne crthcless. Herr
lil I Podllpny, tho Czech burgomaster, mado a
IU, speech at a meeting of the Town Council on
S Monday directly Inciting tho Czechs against
Hf j the Germans. This has hcen followed by fur-
ygjt, If thor Incitements on tho partof the Czech news
papers.
Among the chief centres of attack h&vabeen
the palaces of Count Salm and Baron Aerenbal.
Thp latter' palace was board'qd up" when the
riots began, but the mob toro the planks oft tho
doors and windows nnd bombarded the ground
floor with, large stones. Tho luxurious furni
ture was smashed and msny valuable objects of
art wcro destroyed.
Tho office of tho German newspaper Bohemia
V nnd a largo number of German and Jo wish clubs
and saloons wero wrecked and looted. Tho
i constant cry of the mob was: "Down
with iho Germans!'" "Down with tho
Jows!" The Germans and Jows wcro com
pletely terrorized. Nobody dared to utter
a word of German on the streets. German sign
boards wero hastily removed or covered with
improvised signs reading "This is a Czechlst
business." L-idlcs who were compelled to go
upon tho streets donned tho Slav tricolor in
order to a old insult or uttact.
Tho riot In the Zlkow quarter arose from tho
I mob attempting to storm a cartridge factory.
i Tbcro is hardly n bulldlnir. public or private,
that is known to be owned by Germans that
h is a w.holo window. The damago douo by the
rioters by looting and burning amounts to many
thousands of florins.
Shortly before raldnltrht order was restored In
tho city Itself and many of the troops wero
with Irawn. In tho suburbs, how ever, the situ
ation Is not so safe, and the streets and roads
I are Btrongly patrolled. Mora than 300 Germans
I h.ue been taken to the hospitals for treatment
I for injuries sustained at the bands of the rioters.
The present troubles in Austria-Hungary are
duo to tho animosities and rivalries of the dif
ferent races living in tho empire The Czechs
und Germans, for instance, cannot abldo one
another. It was the Czechs who secured from
tho Budonl Ministry, a while ago, a docrce per
mitting the uso of tho Czech as well as the
I German language in the courts and in all of
ficial btisinoss. The Germans, who number
nearly 0.000,000 of tho population, very stoutly
opposoJ tha Unguago decree and procoodsd to
m Lo wur upon Badcnl and bis Ministry for
their action. Being in the minority in the
Austrian Itolrhsrath thoys ugbt to obtain by
obstruction what tbey could not gain by parlla-
mentary methods, and It Is they who engineered
the recent disgraceful scone in the Itelchsrath
which finally culminated in & popular ferment
that brought about the downfall of Ilodenl.
This question of the official uso of the Czech
langunge Is only ono of the issues In the war of
tho German nnd somo other elements against
what they call "Magyar domination;" and
I other questions which add fuel to the flame are
I religious differences, anti-Semitism, and soclal-
ism. The bitter hatreds which all these violent
I differences of opinion have engendered have
Blvcn an exceedingly 11 ely aspect to tho poll tics
1 of Austria-Hungary for a long time past.

statement regarding Gov. Dradlcy's Intention
to confor tho honor on his daughter. Miss Chrls
tlno Uradloy. In It sho nccuscs Gov. Uradlcy
of discourtesy in substituting his daughter for
her and says:
"I have had no staff runners with petitions
urging my selection again, neither hae I had
at work any political Influence among tho
tradespeople of Kentucky, whom Gov. Bradley
pleads thrust the selection of his daughter upon
him. Neither do I recognlzo political prestige
in this way. Tho laurel when worn by n wo
man must bo worn as a pe-sonul honor to be
worn gracefdlly. Whon Gov. Bradley tnkos
the laurel from my head and placei It upon that
of his daughter, just because be thinks ho has
tho power to do so, I blush for the courtesy of
the gallant Governor of Kentucky."
Kx-Sccrctary Whitney and ax-Senator Black
burn have boon intorvlowed on the subjoct.
Tbey said that it was not the custom to usk tho
Governor of any Stato to select tho person to
christen tha vessel, but that the choice has been
left with the Secretary of tho Navy. By their
manner both indicated the opinion that it
would be an act of discourtesy at this Into dato
not to retain Miss Richardson as sponsor.
Miss Richardson is ono of tho handsomest
young women in tho State. Sho has xpent

deacon Tiffany anil Frederick Valentino, who
run the minority, got wind of the scbemo and

St. Louib, Dec. 1. Mr. S. H. H. Clark to-night
authorized the announcement that ho will not
again bo the Presldentof tho Union Pacific Rail
road. He does not say, however, that be de
clined the position, but from other sources comes
the statement that not only was Mr. Clark's
declination of the Presidency final and positive,
but that he severs all connei tlon with tho
Union Pacific, and will shortly retlro from par
ticipation in railroad affairs.
Mr. Clark says that his health Is very poor,
and he will leave shortly on a trip for Its
benefit. Delicacy over tbo unrovealed plans
of the Union Pacific's reorganization commit
tor deters him from talking wltb mora free
dom or posltlvencss. It is reported thut
K. W, Winters, until recently PrcBldnntof the

he worked In a stone quarry. Then he went Into

IT ILL HE BEPnESID JTtfT OF TUB XT. Fl
Tbey Think In Omaha That Mr. Uoraee Burt
Is the Comlns Man.
Osiaiia, N ob., Df c. 1. To-day Mr. norace Burt,
third Vice-President of the Northwestern Rail
road, with headquarters at Chicago, rame to
Omaha and with a force of assistants and stenog
raphers opened quarters In the United States
National Bank building. Considering that Mr.
Burt has been mentioned as possible President
of the Union Paciflo and Mr. Clarke has Just an
nounced that ho had refused the office. It was at
once surmised that Burt was on the ground to
tako charge of the Union Ihicldc. This, from all
Indications, is the fact and It presents the com
bination so much talked of a through trans
continental line, with the Vnnderbilt Interests
merged in the new acquisition.
Mi. Burt taid to-day that he was not yet tbe
President of the Union Paciflo and could not say
.that he would be. It was learned that tbe
rooms had been taken for only a month, This
makes It e r n mnre likely that at the expiration
of that time Mr. Burt will go down to the head
quarters of the Union Paciflo and become the
chief there.

Itate-Mablna- Cenln at Lakewoed Jehn H.
Campbell, Formerly Frlvato Beer-tarr to
Crekrr. Talked or rr Chamberlain Corpor
ation Connasl and District Attornei'a OIBce.
Laecwood, N. J Dec 1. John F. Carroll,
who, now that Mr, Sheeban la Incapacitated by
Illness, Is doing the work that falls to the leader
of Tammany Hall, arrived hore at 0:20 o'clock
this evening. Stato Senator Thomas F. Grady
accompanied him.
Messrs. Carroll and Grady were mot at the
depot by Mr. Crnker, Sheriff-elect Dunn, and
County Clerk-elect Pohmer, who wero out driv
ing in a double-seated wngon behind a fast pair
of horses. Mr. Croker did not leave tho wagon
to greet Senator Grady and Mr. Carroll, con
tenting himself with waving his hand. At tbe
hotel entrance, howevor, Mr. Carroll and Sen
ator Orady were warmly greeted by Mr. Croker
as they stepped off the stage. Mr. Carroll and
Mr. Croker Immediately disappeared and had a
quiet conference.
All the talk about Senator Grady's appoint
ment to the ofllco of Corporation Counsel Is ab
surd. The statement that Mr. Shcehan will be
Chamberlain can be also slated, as a ridiculous
rumor. Mr. Sheehan has all tho work he wants
Just now In his contracting business and cannot
afford to sacrifice anything to public office.
There Is no doubt that ho has been superseded
as tho leader of the Tammany organization by
Mr. Carroll, as told in to-day's Sun.
Both Mr. Croker and Mayor-elect Van Wyck
wanted somebody who represented their vlows
to act as leader, nnd as Mr. Carroll la closer to
Mayor-olect Van Wyck than anybody elso and
understands him better, he was selected as the
leader. Tho question Is whothcr he will con
tinue as such nfter the reorganization of Tam
many Hall. It la understood that ho is not par
ticularly desirous of stonplnr into Mr. bbeehan's
shoes as nominal leader of Tammany, as tho Job
Is at best a thankless one, and one requiring a
tremendous amount of hard work. Besides, Mr.
Carroll, as Clerk or the Court of General Ses
sions and of the criminal branch of the Supreme
Court, has all ha ran attend to.
Of the men besides Mr. Shcohnn mentioned
for tho office of Chimbrrlaln, Messrs. York,
Train, and John II. Campbell, the present
deputy Chamberlain, It is belloved that tho
lntterstnuds the brnt chnnre. Ho basserrd In
the office under the Tnmmany regime hereto- '
fore, has boon Mr. Croker'a secretary, and was i
rrtalnod by the reform administration purely
through his knowledge of affairs of the olllcoof
deputy nnd hi, unquestioned Integrilv. It is
probablo that Mr. Campbell will bo selrcled. In
tho distribution of patronago th- Tammany
loadem have an oyc to something more than the
mere whacking up of the loral patronage. Thoy
expect tu shape a course which will not only
mako Democratic State Governmmt posilblo
next year, but will also make Tnmmanv Hall
the f-ctor at the next Democratic National Con
vention. There aro a number of candidates for the
various offices to bo distributed, and any men
tion of names at this writing almply means the
booming of this or that candidate ror the place.
For tho olllco of Corporation Counsel, however,
tho names of the conspicuous enndidates are
those of Vernon M. Davis, former Assistant
District Attorney, nnd John Whalrn, former
Tax Commissioner. Mr. Wbalen's friends,
however, any that whilo he mar bo under
consideration for Corporation Counsel, he
will. In nil probability, be restored to bis
former place as Tax Commissioner, and may
bo mado President of tbo commission.
This would srem more In conformance
with tho Tnmmany Idea of a businesslike ad
ministration. Of the make-up of the Dlstrirt
Attorney's office it is pretty certain that John
F.McIntyro will be restore 1 n- first nsslstnnt;
Henry W. Unger. tho chief clerk, will bo tnirlo
a full assistant, nnd James W. Oshorne. who Is
now In the offic. will be retained. Other men
who are eligible for apnolntinent aro Col. Hobort
Towniend. who served only n short time as a
full ns'lstant when ho was dcpord by the Re
publlcin administration; James Llnrisar Gor
don, Maurice B. Blumenthal. and Randolph B.
Mnrtlno. The counsel to the Chamberlain may
be ex-Senntor T. C. O'Sulllvan. and W. J. K.
Kenny, former Supervisor of tho CituIleeoiU,
mny be CommisIonrrof Brlders, and Ilenry A.

Ins. He has enloyod himself thoroughly, riding
horseback nnd driving around tbe countrv. Ho
may return on Saturday. Mr. Carroll will stay
orer until Monday, and othor politicians are
expected to visit the Tammany chieftain hore
before the end of the week.
Thrro was a rumor around the hotel to-night
that John C. Shcehan would come donn here
to morrow to see Mr. Croker, but neither Mr.
Croker nor any of the other leaders here knew
anything about it.

Despite the constitutional prohibition against
members of the Legislature being appointed
to municipal office "during the term for
which thoy were elected." there are Tam
many gossips who insist that a way
will be found to make Senator Thomas
F. Grady Corporation Counsel somo tlmedurlng
the coming year. The fact Is that Senator Grad v
cannot be provided with an appointive office
until 1800, when. It is said, ho may be made a
Justice of the Special Sessions.
Assistant District Attorney James W. Os
borne, It Is said, 1b surely slated for a place un
der the new administration. He married a
niece of tho Mayor-elect. It Is said that ho may
be the Tammany candidate for City Court Judge
next fall.
Although it has beon generally understood
that John F. Mclntyre will be restored to bis
place as Assistant District Attorney. It Is said
that be would prefer the place either as counsel
to tbe Sheriff or theCbimbrrlaln, as hs would
turn be permitted to Imlulgeln private practice.
It was stated yesterday that tho division of
patronngo n between New York and Brooklyn
proposed by Richard Croker Is not all to the
liking of tho Kings county Democracy. They
want more of tbe general places than Mr. Croker
Just now seems willing to concede to them. Ills
concession Is said to be ono member of the Po
lice Board and one on every commission of three
oxient the Dock Boird. and two of tbe six Corn
mitslonrrs who will make up the Board of Pub
lic Improvements.
Tho Brooklyn Democrats want three of these
Commissioners. The aro specially strenuous In
their demand for n Doik Commissioner. Tarn
manv claims that all tho public docks aro orl Ibis
slrteof the Kast River and that Brooklyn hasnot
one. The Brooklyn men claim that they have
twenty miles of waterfront, and that the Dock
Board can a.milre any of It for publlo useiit
any time, and lhat they should have a Brooklyn
man on the board to protect Us immenso water

of death for tbe murder of ber husband for near

WORLDLY ANGELS AT UACKENSAOK.
Mortgage, IV et Marriage, Their Mission, nnd
tho Town-Folk Felt Itellrvrd.
Hackensace, Dec. L The fact that Mnason
T. Huntsman and Mary Storms visited tlacken
sack to-day, and wero seen to enter Justice
Cuming's office, led to a story that the couple
were here to be married. This was untrue.
"The holy one" and tbe pretty "angel dancer"
were on a worldly mission. They wanted to Bor
row money to pay a mortgage (he holder of
which had uso for the amount. Mary has her
father's farm in her name, but as Mnason looks
closely after the nff airs of tho "angols," he. al
ways assists In money matters. In their mission
thoy werosurcessful. the properly being worth
much mnre than tho amount wnnte-l on It.
This fall, as last year, the "Lord's Farm" has
been besieged by a gang of more or less respect
able dlsreputiblos willing to spend the winter
with tho angeliu hosts. Mnason. however, has
bcomo a trifle morn worldly than ho has been
for many jears, nnd being shrewd withal, he
frequently follows tho advice of Rip Van Win
kle ns to a cold potato nnd llbertv to depart.
Many who aro accordod a bed In barn or out
building do not covet tho ncrommodatlonx kbi
steady experience. Consequently tbo throng at
tho farm fa not oppressive.
Mnnson's hair and beard are long and wavy,
looking as though seven sisters gaie them gen
tle and careful attention. Ho and Mary were
clad In plain but comfortable garments.

Fight In Cuba Canalrjas llaporta It.
Havana. Doc. 1. via Key West, The fiercest
battle fought In tho provlnco of Pluar del Rio
since the de lh of Gen. Mateo Is reported horo
to-day by nn official Spanish account published
In all the nowspapers and by communications
from tho Insurgent lines.
Though tho Spanish report bonsts, as usual,
ofagrcatvlctory.lt confirms. In many details,
tho Cuban story. Special iuformttlon from
trustworthy sources rocelvod by Tun Scn's
correspondent leaves no doubt that tho result
was the most serious defeat sustained by the
Spanish nrmyslnco the battle of Cacarujicira,
in tho same produce.
The battle was fought among tho hills of Ro
mero, Madaun, and Los Palados, in which tbe
lusurgont Gen. Ducusl was encamped with his
army lu 000 huts made- of palm tree leaves. At
Cuchllla nnd Cutmttos, two other mountains,
Ducisl had nlso some 2,000 men strongly
fortified. Tho Insurgents numbered In all some
3.t00 men, well armed with modern rifles and
dnnmlte bombs.
Tho Spanish columns of Gens. Bernal and
Hermndcz do Velnsco combined to dislodgo tho
Insurgents from their positions at ltnmero.
Madnnia, and I.os Palados. They bravely tougbt
to attain that end tho whole of Mon
day, but wero repeatedly rcpulsod by tbo
patriots. Sat oral bijouct attacks by the Span
ish columns ended dlsastrounly for them, and
after over 100 Spanish Boldlcrs had been killed
and their lines had been thrown Into confusion
by several dynamite explosions, both Spanish
Generals decided to retlro and ask for reinforce
ments. On Tuosday morning tho Battalion of Aran
Juez came to tho help of Gens. Bernal and Her
nandez de Velaaio. nnd then the Spanish, num
bering 0,000 regulars, made a desporate attempt
to take tbe stronger positions of Caimito nnd
Cuchllla, WlthaBucrlllce of sixty-seven men,
they took at the point of tho buj onet tho heights
of Caimito. But new bomb explosions pre
pared bv the insurgents soon dispersed them.
Ducasi took Cuchilla again brforo noon, and the
three Spanish battailous guo up tho fight and
retired.
The official Spanish report published here by
the press censor siys: "Tho losses of the insur
gents woio immenso. They fltd in panic, nnd
Gen, Denial's cat airy forces nro still pursuing
them. Wo had one Mnjor and two soldiers
killed and ono -Major, ono Captain and nineteen
soldiers wounded." But tbe Spanish ofllce'-s
under Gen. 11. de Velazco confessed that their
losses were over 200 and that it was tho hardest
