NEW YORK, May 26 James J. Coogan,
president of the Borough of Manhattan,
and a leader in Tammany Hall, to-day
contributed $100,000 to the Democratic^Xa
tional Committee, with the stipulation that
the gift be. rescinded if William J. Bryan
is not renominated. The committee will
be allowed to make such use of this fund
a3 it may see fit.
The contribution gave rise to the story
in political circles to-day that Mr. Coogan
would be Colonel Bryan's running mate
on the national Democratic ticket this
summer. ./ .
A delegation, composed of two national
committeemen and three of the personal
advisers of Colonel Bryan, called on Mr.
Coogan at the City Hall this noon by ap
pointment. The consultation lasted an
hour, after which Mr.. Coogan admitted
that he had made, the contribution, but
declined to say. anything regarding vice
presidential aspirations.
CROKER FOR BRYAN'. . ■
The Journal and Advertiser will,to-mor
row print an interview with Richard
Croker, obtained in London by William T.
Stead. "Speaking on the political situa
tion in the United States. Mr. Croker
declares emphatically that he is for Wil
liam J. Bryan for President, and he be
lieves Mr. Bryan will beat McKinley on
election day. He says he also thinks
Bryan is right in sticking to the sixteen
to one silver issue, but declares that in his
opinion trusts and imperialism will be
the principal issues of the campaign. He
says Admiral Dewey is not in the run
ning for the presidency, though he might
do for a running mate.

■ TEE LANDING. , ' : . ■

the descent upon Lincoln Park . to-day ■ i
but was not with -them in person. -A I
boat containing the -"troops.'Med by Wil- I
ham Niles,. arrived off iLincolri Park, soon
after midnight, and without : difficulty the
menrmade a landing at the fo6t-of Supe
rior street, and formally took possession
of ISG acres of land, claimed by Captain
Streeter and his subjects as an inde- |
pendent territory, the of Lake
Michiiran.'" „ .
The landing was conducted quietly but '
was not unobserved. Police Officer James
O'Malley was on guard,, and hastened
to send a report of the; matter to 'the
East Chicago Avenue. Station, which, in
turn transmitted the information .to In
spector Heidelmeyer. It was decidedL to
take no action .'against the invaders until
after consultation with the city law de
cartment. ,'
FORTIFICATIONS.
Immediately on. landing, a line of forti
fications was marked out by the invaders
A line of plank was laid along the western j
edge of the claimed territory, and barbed i
wire was, stretched about a foot above it.
Two forts, each about twelve feet square
and forming an embankment of dirt and
piling about five feet high- were hastily
thrown up on either side of Superior:
street. Sentinels were detailed to patroj
a picket line just inside the barbed wire.
Inspector Heidelmeyer had reported the
invasion to Chief of - Police Kipley, and
the latter was deep in consultation with, \
the city law department, trying: to , deter- 1
mine the exact legality of any attempt
of the police to evict the squatters.
MANY RIOT CALLS. "
Meanwhile, although riot call .after riot
call'had been sent in, ; the police remained
inactive, and Niles and his men remained
in possession. Park officials then took a
'hand in the game. Captain Baer, ■ of- the
park police, attempted to enter the
squatters' territory, hut was fired upon
by Niles. It is supposed that Niles" did
not mean to wound the Captain, for he
appeared to aim only at the horse. The
horse fell ' dead, and one of the shots,
having sped beyond, wounded Reuben
Manl e'y, 14 years of age, who was one : ot
a crowd 'of curious ; on-lookers. The ball
struck his right luiee, inflicting a serious
wound. '
The ; conference in the office of acting
Mayor Walker, was long, and the legal
aspects of the case were carefully gone
over. ». It was determined . that the
squatters should be driven out at any
cost, and Chief of Police Kipley was in
structed to : at once .mobilize his forces"
and use such measures as might be
necessary. '-'
THE POLICE ADVANCE.
As soon as the conference^ had con
cluded Chief of Police .Kipley began to
use the telephone.: The fire-tug Illinois
was detailed to carry forty men, with
rifles, down the river, to 'approach, the
district from the lake. The reserve forces
were ordered to rendezvous. Orders were
issued to bring up the police battery, con
sisting of one Gatling gun and' two
smooth-bores. " •
By 3 P. M., 800 policemen had .gathered
at the East Chicago Avenue Police Sta
tion. The impending conflict ended in a
fiasco about 3:15 o'clock.
SQUATTER FORCE SURRENDERS.
When Niles and four men, all that wer^
left of his army, heard that, they were
to.be ousted, they- sent word to Captain
Baer, requesting a parley. Upon his ap
pearance the five, men surrendered, and
were escorted to the East Chicago
Avenue Police Station. On the-way there
Jhe police -attempted to disarm the mem
bers 'of the "army," and the^ effort of
<the squatters to retain their rifles created
some commotion^
Streeter caused to be circulated by the
men .who took possession oE'the land
a grandiloquent proclamation,- written
after the style of the Declaration of In
dependence, in" which he stated,, at great
length, that the land did not belong to
the State of Illinois nor anybody else, and
was the property of whoever settled upon
it. He is now threatening legal pro
ceedings again st everybody.
XEW YORK DEMOCRACY.
It Will Enilor.se »rysm, Hut Not the
Cliiuiigo Platform.
NEW YORK, May 20.— The Evening
Post says:
"Ex-Senator "David B. Hill and ex-Sena
tor Edward Murphy had a talk with El
liot Danforth, chairman of' the Executive
Committee of the Democratic State Com
mittee, to-dayl Mr. Hill" is satisfied with
the results of his trip to. New York.' He
has conferred with the leaders of Tar- ]
many Hall and of the Kings county De- j
mocracy, and it was announced authori
tativelj- before- noon thatahe programme
for the State convention had been agreed
upon by all parties concerned.
"The features of the Programme are:
"'First, the convention will endorse the
candidacy of William J. Bryan, and re
coguize him as 'our national; leader'; se
cond, the. Chicago platform will not be af
firmed; third, the delegates to the na-.
tiohal convention will not bo. instructed. -
"One of Mr. Hill's- lieutenants, who
spoke for him, gave this explanation to a
reporter:
" 'We; are. all agreed that Mr. Bryan's
rehomination is a certainty,' and -that all
we can do is to fall into line, but we can
not swallow the whole Chicago platform,
and it is not necessary to do sol The Kan
sas 'City- convention : may -modify that
platform; so we can endorse Bryan and;
declare that we will support; the platform.,
of our, party.-:':As to the instructions of
delegates, that . is .neither necessary nor
in accord with, precedent. It is customary"
to instruct delegates to the national con
vention Jonly when New York has; a. can
didate. It has no: candidate this year; so"
an end orseme nt of Bryan is all . that can
be reasonably-expected. We will "go •to -
Kansas Ci ty; as Bryan men, but we do" not
care to .be so. committed that we cannot
ask for . a modification of the Chicago
platform.".. =. ~ .-; ; ; : .

EFFORT TO CAPTURE BOERS^
BritiSuTSTill How Do IJtmost to Cut Off
- '■ ' . Their Retreat.
JOIOXNESBCRG TWO MARCHES OFF:
Men in Klialci May Be at Pretoria
in Less Than a Wcek-Barghet
Plan is to Retreat to tlie Lyden
barg: Hills. ■*'■■■
LONDON, May 7.— Spencer Wilkinson,
reviewing the situation at the seat of war
in South Africa for the Associated Press,
says:.- .- . . ' .;;■• ' "" ;' •
"Lord Roberts is keeping a: tight hand
on all the correspondents, in, order that
they may not disclose his movements.
After occupying Rhenoster he pushed his
left wing at once towa-rd Parys, : - •where'
the Vaal river was crossed on Thursday.
The whole army seems to have changed
its direction to the -left, as General Ham
ilton's original right wing was to-day
at Boschbank, half way from -Parys to
the railway bridge at Viljoen's Drift,
which is being watched by Roberts's
scouts. . ... .
"General Hamilton . probably crossed
the "Vaal to-day, assisted, if necessary,
by a mai-ch up the river of the force that
crossed at Parys. The whole force pro
bably will be across the Vaal by Sunday
afternoon. .^Johannesburg will then be
two marches distant. " '
"I suppose that Lord Roberts will push
on General Hamilton, -and .perhaps Gen
eral French, to: turn the Boers, while
Generals Tucker and Pole-Carew will at
tack in front.
BOERS IN DANGER OF CAPTURE.
"The . Boers, as usual, must either" be
enveloped , : or go. Verj' special exertions
will be made to cut off their retreat, 1 . as
Lord Roberts is now- determined" to cap
ture them, if possible. .He "relies' fully
on Tan Hamilton, whose combination of
fire and prudence justifies every . confi
dence. - - . .
- "If the Boers escape toward Pretoria.
Roberts will likely follow swiftly, and be
at Pretoria ; in less , than a week. - . :, - ,
"The Boers say -that- they have, re taken
Heilbrun.. General .Roberts will neglect
that, but will guard his railway, "which
I think. he-will not wait to repair before
going to : Pretoria. .
'."General Buller, at Laing's Nek, is eight
: or: nine. marches f rom " r Joha nnesburg, sup
posing:--; that ;.the road is clear. Roberts's
advance: nittst .make the Boers at "Volks
rust uneasy; : and so will facilitate Buller's
advance. ".: ' •-
THE - BOER PLAN.
"General Hunter, when, at Maf eking,
will be eleven marches from. Pretoria,
and it is impracticable,^therefore, for the
Boers to make any. serious resistance at
Pretoria, where to wait would mean to
be hemmed in between- three British'
armies.
"The Boer plan is to retreat to the
Lydenburg hills, which would postpone,
but not avert, the catastrophe. But the
condition and strength of the Boer forces
after the: coming week's operations :re
main to be seen. "Possibly.. the 'difficulty
of supply may compel General Roberts
to pause on the Vaal and repair the
railway, thus giving time to General Bul
ler and : General Hunter to invade the
Transvaal.
"I. fancy, however, that Lord Roberts
will prefer the -.bolder "course,, and try to
end this war right now."
THANKSGIVING AT MAFEKING.
MAFEKING, May 18.— The entire garri
son Paraded this morning to * a thanks
giving service. Colonel Baden-Powell ad
dressed the men, saying: "We have been
unable to fire a volley over the graves of
our killed, being fearful of drau'ing the
fire of the enemy's guns." To-day the -
garrison paid "the last honors to the dead,
assembling in the graveyard and bidding
good-by. to; their fallen comrades. After
sounding" the "Past Post" the garrison at
tempted to i sing.; the national anthem,
but could hardly" be heard, as; the men.
choked with emotion.: .; Colonel Baden-
Powell was deeply affected, /and address
ed . each unit separately. He. told .the
town guard that those who wished would
be permitted to - return to their, civilian
avocations. To the Rhodesian column,
in a characteristic manner, he said:
"We've kicked ) out the Boer protector

THE' jEXTRA SKSSIOX.
Prolmbly lie Heia in J»nuary-Con
..veution Candidate*. '4. . ' .
There is little doubt that an -.extra ses
sion of, tht . General: Assembly- will" be
called to meet some time in January to
arrange for. a; constitutional: couvention.
Governor Tyler's mind seems well made
up not to call an extra" session for: an
earlier date; although he said, yesterday
agam that he would be guided by. what:
appeared the consensus of opinion among
party -leaders; as to the time most ad
visable. The Governor's mind is not
absolutely made up to call a convention;
owing, to the ,'pledgw ( o£ • the pax ty in con
vention ■at -Norfolk that the revision of
the Constitution should cost as little as
possible.' However, in view of. the -- fact
that it^ would be necesaary to have un
extra session after, the convention If the
regular session ;"of ISOI were left to ar-"
range for a: constitutional convention, the
Governor wiir probably have the "extra
ordinary session.next January. ' ■ v V-.i
There is "a great" deal of speculation' as
to the .time, which the/Legislature -will
set for, the holding ofthe convention:
It is believed that it will be heid in the
spring, in order that it may formulate
a Constitution- and allow of its -■■: being
submitted, to the people ■ prior to the
gubernatorial election in the fall of nest
year. The " General Assembly in regular
session , could then adjust the Code so as
to make it comport with the new Con
stitution. -
_ It is probable that the convention will
be composed of about one hundred memb
ers.: These may be chosen in the man
ner of members of the General Assembly.-
There is a sentiment in favor of having
a portion ofthe delegates chosen • from
the State, at larg(>. . - :
In Richmond, -there is apparently .a
remarkable unanimity, of sentiment in
favor of sending the very best men pos
sible"" to the convention. There is little
doubt that : Hon. C. V. Meredith will be a
delegate from Richmond. Colonel Archer
Anderson and Hon. E. C. Folkes are atso
mentioned as delegates. •
