Tho onltrenc took place in the rooms of the County Committee on the fourth floor V the Metropolitan Lite Insurance building. jrtrr district leader was present. The began shortly before 4 o'clock and until about half oast 0. When It was meeting waa behind closed doors on of the dlstrlot leaders who had attended til'- "I hare attended a good many political tut this is the greatest one that I irir inen anything about. That man Roose-ra- lt li a corker. I never knew any thins; about dim pemoually until Now I fael that I know him pretty well. I am not exactly what' tou might call emotional, but after hearing Roosevelt talk and seeing- - tho man, I tell you he Is a good fellow to stick to. Yon know l? where he is. and If fellow tries to dodge him that chap feels mighty unoomfortable bef- ore h sets through. I have been in politics in this State for about twenty years and for a good part of that time I hare been a district leader in this oltv. Therefore I como pretty near knowing what I am talking; about when I tell tou that thore never was Gubernatorial eampalgn in the history ot the Btate where there wan such a thoiough understanding: bo- te n the candidate and the men who were to get out the votes. He talked to us pretty plainly sometimes, but we understood that he meant exactlr what ha said and we all con- cluded that the thing for as to do was to fol-o- his lead and get a move on quick." The c inference, was called at Col. Boosevelt's own request He told Congressman Qulgc m'l the other managers of the Republican campaign in this country that he Wanted to meet the men who are responsible for getting out the vote in the different Assembly districts on election dev. He .said he knew some of them personally, more he only knew by sight, and a few he didn't know at all. He told the nanagers that he wanted to And out what kind of men vcre to work for him on election day and he wanted those men to know just what kind if a man he was and where he stood. Ha raid he hsd no doubt that the district leaders could give him many valuable suggestions as to the conduct of the campaign and he said there were a few things he wanted to tell the eiders, accordingly the conference was ar- ranged. Alter an Interchange of greetings between the candidate and the distriot leaders, CoL ltow.elt suggoated that the way to begin wet to begin, and that they would better cet down to business at onoe. Then he asked w'.o should talk first Everybody wanted to hear about the Colonel's trip through the Euite, and sn he gave a brief history of it. He told the leaders that everywhere he went he was received not only with enthusiasm, but with the kindest expressions of cue urage-me- nt and support This enthusiasm and these expressions of encouragement he said, he was sure were not at all personal to him. bnt came from the fulness of the hearts of a Ropie who believe in the cause of the party in this State and who belier la Handing by the President and the flag un-til- least a muoh more formidable docu- ment than a peace protocol has been signed to evidence that the war Is over and that Hpali and the United States are actually at peace. fie told them that he had had some experi-ene- .i In addressing public meetings and he had had on more than one occasion the privil- ege of meeting Urge numbers of people. But he said that never in all his publio experie- nce had he ever seen so largo and enthusiast- ic crowds as those which greeted him from the time he left Weehawken until he got back to the Grand Central Station. It crowds and enthusiasm were any indication of the num- ber of votes which the Republican ticket would secure north of the Bronx, the ticket would receive a tremendous plurality. He sI'l. however, that crowds and enthusiasm were one thing and votes were another, and that whither or not the vote waa got out on election day depended upon the distriot lead-m'f- it New Yorkleounty quite as muoh a upon the leaders up the Btate. After he had told his story Col. Roosevelt gold he waa ready to hear from the leaders. The reports were taken up. It was said, by districts, and the leaders gave Ithe most roseate view of the situation In their particul- ar bailiwicks. The general opinion seemed to be that there was absolutely no opposition Mo the Bepublican candidates. This thing had run for a short time, when Col. Roose- velt Interrupted the reporttof one of the lead- en with a remark which ;was. In substance, reported to be as follows: "This is simply beautiful, gentlemen, but let me tell you right here that you needn't be a bit afraid of hurting my feelings or discouraging ne. When a man is running for office he can ttt all kinds of encouraging reports. If they were all true and his opponent got the same kind of reports both would be elected by a tre- mendous plurality. The difficulty is to get re- sorts that are not encouraging. Now. I know something about New York politics and the ecUtleal conditions in these very districts of which you are tho leaders. I know, just as well tou know, that there is opposition to me in any districts. Now. gentlemen, let's know rot what that opposition is. Let us know the "act truth. We will all feel better after it la "own. II In any dlstrlot there is strong to me let's know all about it. If there u some opposition In other dlgtrlcts let's k..ow wnt that.

Croker Turned Illm Down Thrlcn, Bnt He's Uood Knongti for a Wtda-Ope- n Town. In 1880 David Levenlritt was a candidate for Judge ot the Court ot Common Fleas. Henry Rlsohoff. Jr., was also a candidate, sir. Croker had practically declared that Mr. BIs-cho- ff should be nominated. Leventritt who wasjat that time a personal friend of Po- lice Commissioner Martin, got Martin to plead his oause with Mr. Croker. The result was that Blsohoff was put off with a promised nomination for Register, and Leventritt waa slated for the Common Pleas bench. At the County Convention In Tammany Hall, when it came time for nominations, Mr. name was presented and somebody got up to second the nomination. While this man was making his speech, a Tammany Hall lawyer sought Mr. Croker and some of the other leaders In a great hurry, and. as qulokly as possible, told the history ot the Lucca oaas about which muoh has already been printed, and the connection ot the Arm of Newoombe A Leventritt with It This man told Mr. Croker that the oaae was familiar to every law- yer In the olty of New York, and that It would never do to nominate a man, for Judge of the Court of Common Pleaa whose professional record had been so besmirched. The story waa all news to Mr, Croker and the other Tammany leaders, but they saw that It would never do to nominate Leventritt A hasty conference was called In one corner of the room. Instructions had been given in the meantime to the man who was seconding Leventritt' nomination to keep on talking and throw as muoh eloquence into his speech as possible. The man obeyed his Instructions, and while ho was speaking it was decided that Leventritt must not be nominated. The tip was hurriedly passed around that BisohofTs name should be presented immediately and that he should be nominated. The orders were carried out and when the vote was taken the most surprised man in the hall was David Leventritt BisohofTs nomination was al- most unanimous, and It was some tire before Mr. Leventritt knew what had happened. On two or three oeoasloi:. since 1880 Mr. Leventritt has sought a judiciary nomination, but hs wbs always reminded ot the Lucca case and told that it would never do to go before the people with that record. After having i turned this man down ou no less than three j occasions, Mr. Croker must have decided that this year was just the time to put on the Su- preme bench a man whom he had found to be unfit to be nominated in 1B0. in 1884. or In COU M'ChELLAS'S WIFE WITH VS.

"I am very sorry to say that Mrs. McClellan has ' ratted ' and gone over to you." " Thanks, my dear Colonel," replied Col. Roosevelt. "My only sorrow Is that you haven't Joined Mrs. MoClellan In the good work." The two Colonols shook hands, snd Col.

AMammmmmm BLANCO MEANT TO FIGHT. am niim'T rBorosn to otrm vr cvba to ram AmmmcAirt. Organised a Plot to Proclaim a Revolution la Havana Against the Sovereignty of Spate and Declare a Bnanlsh-Amerioa- a Repnblle, with Himself at the Hand. Wasbikotow, Oot. 20. According to a pri- vate telegram received In Washington y from Havana Captain-Gener- Blanco, Gon. Pando and other prominent Spaniards had. at tho time of the surrender ot Santiago, organ- ized a plot to proclaim a Spanish-America- n re- public In Cuba. The preliminary steps had all been taken, and had the plot succeeded the United States might have had another war on hand. It la well known that Gen. Blanco was from the first strongly In favor ot prolonging the war against tho United States and the Cuban insurgents, and had declared his intention ot taking the field himself at the head of the Spanish army and meeting the Amorlcan forces In open battle, contesting yard by yard the ter- ritory of Cuba with tho invaders. He waa therefore bitterly opposed to the action of the Madrid Government In entering Into peace negotiations, which meant the surrender of Cuba and the evacuation of tho Spanish forces from the Island. Gen. Blanco called into consultation Gen. Pando, together with his staff and chief sup- porters, Including the leaders among the vo- lunteers In Havana, and there was much dis- cussion as to what was to be dono. Cuban spies were aware of the secret meetings of the leaders, which were frequent bnt were nnable to learn what question was being considered, and It was only recently that the plot waa re- vealed. The plan was that Gon. Blanco should pro- claim a revolution In Havana against the sovereignty of Spain and declare a Spanish-America- n republic with himself at the head of the Government All the various leaders of the civil government and the commanders of the volunteers and the Spanish army were to con- cur In the movement, sever their allegiance to Spain, and turn over their commands to Gen Blanco under his new government. Tho move- ment waa to be entirely fiee and independent o( the Insurgents, who were not to be recognised to any extent, but only the strictly Spanish element was to be regarded, with the Spanish arm in and about Havana and the volunteers all supporting the new revolutionary govern- ment under Blanco Spain would have been in a hopeless oondltlop. an 1 would be forced to surrender its sovereignty and reeognlxo the lndennnlence of the new Spanish-America- n roti lbllo. b it the plotters went further than this, which was necessary In order to carry out tho gel eme and to secure suppllos and provisions. Euvoys wbpi sent out from Havana by Gen. Blanco to all the Spanish-America- n countries to secure their cooperation and aldandthfir recognition of the new republic as soon as it should be declared by Gen. Blanco. This would insure tho government of Blanoo bel- ligerent rights, and was Intondedto he amenns which would Insure them supplies to oarry the movemont. Oen. Pan-io- . the moet rusted sorvonf of (.ten. Blanco nnd the ec-on- in command on the Island, was secretly de- spatched to Mexico, and. like the other ambas- sadors, worked In secret and w"b a twofold Whenever discovered it was shown fiurpose. were endeavoring to secure suppU'-- i for the bpanlah Army aad for the suffering people of Havana, hut another and most impor- tant part ot their mission was to impress upon the various Governments the sincerity of the movement to establish another Spanish-America- n republic which they would be in duty bound to recognize. Oen. Pando. who was Incognito In Mexico, waa recognized at Vera Cruz and several other Mexican cities, but It in id that he nevertheless sneceedod in impressing many loaders of the Mexican Government with tho idea that Gen. Blanoo would shortly pi dalm himself as Dic- tator of anew Spanlsh-Amorioa- n republic. At the time of his return from Mexico and his landing at Batabano he waa enthusiastic over the project and believed that It could be suc- cessfully oarrled out Simultaneously Gen. Aldecoa and Gen. Pujol returned from similar missions to some of the South and Central Spanish-Americ- republics with their reports to be submitted to Gen. Blanco looking toward the execution of their plot. Following this came the Spanish defeats on sea and land, and other returning envoys on this account reported lukewarmness op the part of the Governments to which they had been commissioned. Gen. Blanco endeavored to the best of his ability, and with the active co- operation of all his lieutenants, to revive end continue tho project but the tact that Spain soon afterward began to me for peace put an end to the plan. Nevertheless, Gen. Blanco protested against the overtures and desired to have the war ocntlnued. There is a question as to whether the plot was devised in Madrid, with the consent ot Seflor Ssgaata and the Government, or whether It was purely an act of treachery on the part of Gen. Blanco and his supporters. The fact that Spain began suit for peace after the fall of Santiago and that Gsn. Blanco's plan was thereby prevented from being carried Into ex- ecution, leads those who have discovered the to tho belief that Gen. Blanco and the filot of the Spanish army who wanted to prolong the fight for their own Individual benefit, bad acted Independently. However, it is also thought that Gen. b nnco'H intention was ultimately, If he could eicceed in estab- lishing his Spanish- - American republic, to turn it over to Spain, either by purchase or other- wise, at the and of a certain time. A further part of the plot was to reach out after the repuMIc had been established In Ha- vana, and conquer the remaining portions of tho Island held by tho Insurgents as fast as possible nntli tho Island should be entirely re- claimed. Gen. Blanco and his supporters also labored under the belief that by revolting against Spain and declaring nn independent government, which should be firmly and atrongly organized, they would get the recog- nition of their Independence from the I'nlted States, which the insurgents had failed to se- cure. After the surrender the report waa sent out that leave of absence had benn given Gen. Pando br Gen. Blanco, and that he was per- mitted to return to Spain. It now develops that he was recalled by the Madrid Government forth" part he had taken in the plan for the mock rebellion. Gen. Blanco, when the facts ostensibly became known to tho home Govern- ment, having made It appear that Gen. Pando and not himself was at the head of the move- ment. HIMTH KBW YOltK VOTES TO QUIT.

A BANK PBKStDHNT TO OOf Directors of Mechanics and Traders' to Consider President Baltes'e operations. A meeting of the dlreotorg of the Mechanics and Traders' Bank, Broadway and Broome street will be held nt which it is under- stood Fernando Baltee. the President of the bank, will be asked to resign. Mr. Baltes has been President for only about two years. Be- fore that he had been cashier for twenty-fiv- e years. An examination of the bank has been made by Btate Bank Fjtamlner JttOson within the past few days. The examination waa mane at the suggestion of the Clearing House Commit- tee, because of rumors that have been circu- lated recently In wbloh the name ot the bank was mentioned. The reault of tho ex- amination has been reported by Mr. Judson to Banking State Superintendent Kllburn and to President W. A. Nash of the Corn Exchange Bank, who Is Chairman of the Clearing House Committee. His report was in effect that the bank Is perfectly solvent and that Its capital is absolutely unimpaired, though there had been some Inroads upon Its surplus, which, however, any bank might suf- fer In the course of business. The rumors whloh caused the examination to be made appear to have grown out of the offering In the financial district of notes either drawn or Indorsed by President Baltes. Stock of the bank waa offered as collateral against the notes drawn by Mr. Baltes. According to ourrent report It waa by meang of such notes that control of the bank's stock wag secured at t lie time of hla election to tho Presi- dency ot the bank. That is. Mr. Baltes bor- rowed money on his own stock and with the money obtained more stook to borrow more money on. The notes lndors"d by Mr. Baltes are re- ported to Include some of the Tacoma and Columbia Rlvor Railroad, of 40 Wall street, a rood projected from Tacoma. Wash., to Dallas. Or., a distance of 145 miles, of which but 13X miles has been built. W. A, Nash. Chairman of the Clearing House Committee, snld last night that the Bank Ex- aminer had reported to him the result of his examination of the Mechanics and Traders' Bank, and that from this report the Clearing Houso Committee was convinced that the bang was solvent and the capital was unimpaired. " There may have been inroads on the bank's surplus." he said, "but that might occur at any time when the bank had Indebtedness to liquidate." Mr. Nash snd tho Clearing House Committee were convinced that there was nothing In the bank's condition whloh would call for action on the part ot the Clearing House. rOBTO BICAJT WANTS TO TOTE.

SPANIARDS SAT WE WON'T WAKK ANT CONCESSION FOB PSACK. seiMaMSSM Our Commissioners Silent When the Spanish Wax Eloquent Negotiations on Our Side Conducted Entirely In tTritlng -- TTe Are Accused of Refusing to Yield nn Inch. Sptcial Cailt Dnpttrhii tt Tag Hns. LoNPO. Oct. 21. The Paris correspondent of the TVmM records a visit he received from "a great Spanish personare, who seems to have been commissioned to ascertain the trend of public opinion on the peace negotiations." The correspondent says that the personage appeared to be muoh depressed. He said he had found great general sympathy for Spain, bnt had not discovered any possibility ot ob- taining moral support against the American delegates, who wore Inflexible In their de- mands, and who, with much politeness, had cat- egorically refused hitherto to make the slight- est concession in any ot their instructions. It seoms that they have never asked Washing- ton for the slightest modifications. Tho Americans adhere to the method of con- ducting the negotiations by written memorials and written replies. The Spaniards try re- peatedly to start a verbal discussion in order to obtain a deviation from the Inflexible line followed by the Americans. Seflor Abar-zur- a, a member of tho Spanish Commission, who is reputed to be a master of English, es- pecially attempts to initiate conversation. Be- ing eloquent, ho always profoundly impresses the Americans, who listen attentively, but rig- idly maintain their procedure. The personage told tha correspondent that ha found the Spaniards much discouraged. They were convinced that the United States was bent on a rigorous exercise of Its rights aa a vic- tor. He recalled the statement of Prince Bis- marck aa to the necessity of avoiding the abuse of victory, by whloh tbe conqueror loads himself with a crushing burden that Is almost more damaging to himself than to the vanquished. " The Americans." continued the speaker, " are not adopting this wise and humane view. They refuse to make any concession on the financial question. We have vainly urged that they themselves accepted financial obligations from England af- ter tho war of independence, accepted bur- dens In connection with Texas, and that It would be an arbitrary course and a vexatious precedent to throw the Cuban debt on Spain. All has been useless. Now, what our delegates should say to them If they persist Is : "'We are in your hands. You are tno vic- tors. We onco committed the folly of going to war with you because you did not leave us time to avoid it and beoause you treated us so that we were bound to plunge into war, though we foresaw the result. T But we will not commit the fresh folly of rocommenolng It in any form. We submit to your dictates and leavo the world to judge them, hut no human force can compel us to subscribe to them and we shall not subscribe." Pabis, Oot. 20. The (Mulois says that from suoh Information as Is obtainable there is rea- son to believe that an understanding has been reached by the Peace Commission in the matter of the Cuban debt, upon the basis that the United States refugee to assume the debt, yet will guarantor debts contracted aolely In the interest of the island. Tbe GauloU asserts that political motives are at the bottom ot the postponement of yes- terday's session of tha Peace Commission. Tha American Commissioners, the paper argues, replied to certain arguments on the part of the Spanish by declaring that the United States would dellnltely refuse to accept the whole Cuban debt, though they were prepared to guarantee the local debts Incurred In Cuban development. This contention on the part of the Americans was submitted by the Spaniards to the Madrid Government, whloh delayed Its answer, henise the postponement. Respecting the Philippines, the Qaiiloit says it is learned from a trustworthy source that when tho protocol was drafted and was submitted prior to signature to the Madrid Governmentthe Sagasta Cabinet agreed to its terms provided that Spain's sovereignty, over tho Islands should be maintained Intact. The Washington Government offered no objec- tion to this, and Spain thereupon approved the protocol, containing a vague clause referring to the occupation of Manila. The GauloiM points out the fact that the Re- publicans of various States include the ques- tion of the retention of the Philippines In their election platforms. The American Commis- sion at Paris is chiefly composed of Republi- cans, and they would consequently feel the fiwkwardness ot discussing the Philippines that Spanish sovereignty them should be reserved might cause a Rver ot votoa to the party. PBEPABISU TO OCCUPT CUBA. The Vanguard of the Army, Under Gen. Lee. to Start In Two Weeks. Washihotojc, O :t. 20. Plans for the military occupation of Cuba are being perfected rapidly, and y the War Department officials hud advanced to the point where they wero able to set a definite date for the beginning of the as- sumption of control over the Island. Accord- ing to the present Intention, tho vanguard of the army of occupation will leave the United Stales on Nov. 8. two weeks from Thereafter, until the occupation is completed, troops will be lsnded in Cuba as rapidly as pos- sible. While Bee. 1 is the date sat tor the formal surrenderof authority by the Spaniards, nearly all the cities and towns will have been garrisoned by American soldiers by that time. Havana will not be entered until the date that will mark the end nt Spanish sovereignty In the island, but American troops will have land- ed In the vicinity of the capital nnd be ready to march in and assume formal control on the day when Spanish authority ends. The first expedition of the army of occupa- tion will be composed of Major-Ge- Fltzhugh Lee's Seventh Army Corps. It will sell from Savannah ou Nov. 'J, unless something unfore- seen occurs to prevent the plan from being carried out and will lie landed ut Matanzae, llfty miles from Havana. O.i Monday noxt, ac- cording to the arrangements of the War De- partment, Gen. Leo's corps will begin moving from its present oamp at Jacksonville, Fla.. to Thunderbolt, da . near Snvannah. Prepar- atory orders have been Issued to the chief staff officers of the corps, and they will begin the shipment of equipment and supplies In time to have everything ready for the troops when they reach Thumiernolt The greatest difficulty that the War Depart- ment expects to encounter in the shipment of 1 oops arises from the scarcity of transports. Only fourteen are now in service on the Atlan- tic coast, and some of these must be used tor the transportation of troops and supplies to and from Santiago and Manzanlllo, Cuba, and San Juan and Ponce, Porto Rico. With such a small number at its command the department Is dubious as to Its ability to place in Cuba for the occupation of Havana u sufficient numbor of soldiers to garrison the elty on Dee. 1. An- other em burressmen tent lcliated Is found in the auarantlne laws In the ports In the United the troops will sail. It Is ex- pected that Savannah and other places that may be designated as points of embarkation will compel transports returning from Cuba to remain In quarantine for the regular period. Just as long as the transports are detained. Just so niucn delay will there be, and with not more than a dozeu troopships in sorvico the endeavor to get a big army in Cuba by the date the Spanish must relinquish authority Is likely to bo less sucoesstui than tbe Administration had hopod. Secretary Alger told a Sun reporter this evening that he had uonewsfromthe American Evacuation Commission at Havana. All he hid received from the Cuban capital he said, was a long mossage from Col. Lee. the head of the party ol ljuartoruiasters engaged In selecting oamp sites for United States troops, relating solely to specifications for lumber to lie used In erecting hospitals and iti flooring lentM. The most areful attention will La given to tbe health and comfort of Ametlcob troops and the Government is sparing no ex- pense or trouble In providing suitable quarters aad plenty of wholesome food.

In adospatch to that paper on the political situation, says: "Hero also interest in the Nile question Is rapidly increasing, and Russia's conduot in this matter will conform to the expectations formed in connection with hor allianoe with Franoe." According to the Gnreffe'i cor- respondent the Russian Finance Minister, act- ing In concert with Count Mouravleff, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has attempted to raise a large loan In Paris, and a similar attempt will be made In Berlin. Pabis. Oct. 20 A despatch from Brest to the Avrore says that last evening orders were Issued for the mobilization of Ave local classes of reserves. The Mayors upon whom tha orders were served wero Informed, however, that the men would only be held la readiness for service, and not be oalled out definitely until telegraphic Instructions to that effect were received. The Kcho da Pnri$ says that the military preparations whloh are being made do not mean that the Government nourishes bellicose Intentions, but certain precautions are neces- sary against an enemy who is known to be unscrupulous. Sir MIohael Hicks-Beach- 's speech has pro-yok- very little new press comment The Jafafm says if any unfriendly act Is committed England will be the delinquent . because she has divided Egypt with everybody except France, which had the most right there. A despatch to the Temps from London as- serts that the precise position regarding the Upper Nils question is this: Great Britain, having declared her claims on Fashoda, asked France to submit whatover proposals she wished to make. M. Doles-- f the French Foreign Minister, replied plainly that France demanded an outlet on the Nile, a reservation being made concerning the geo- graphical points to be determined upon. Lord Salisbury, the British Prime Minister, Is now consulting his colleagues on the subject. The Municipal Council ot Paris has adopted a resolution expressing the hope that the Gov- ernment without neglecting the material and moral Interests of the country, will employ every effort to obviate a serious conflict with Great Britain and the consequenees thereof. London, Oct. 20. The speech delivered at North Shields yesterday by Sir MIohael Hicks-Boac- h. In whloh he declared that there were greater evils than war, and that England would not shrink from anything that might come, has further stimulated discussion of the Fashoda situation. Nearly all of the afternoon newspapers contain leading articles on tha subject The iufl Mall Gazelles article is headed "Worse Things Than War." and points out the advantages that England would be likely to gain In case of war. The St. Jamet't Gazette nnys : " There is rea- son for England to be calm, not because of the reports that France is arming, which we do not bolieve, but because we are as ready with our national defenoes as ever In our history." The Ufmii.fer Gairttt praises tho Cabinet Council's skilful management of the Fashoda affair, and says : "Publio opinion, though firm concerning the substance of the dispute, re- quires Lord Salisbury to do nothing to Increase France's difficulties." BUBONIC PLAGUE IN VIENNA. Two rTnrees Who Attended Ben- Ranch Now III A Popular Scare. tptaal Cabh Dupatch i . Tm Sen. Viinna. Oct. 20. The death on Tuesday from bubonic plague of Herr Barsch. a sur- gical assistant employod In the laboratory of Prof. Nothnagel. has been followed by the sick- ness of the two nurses who attended him. This has caused a scare among a section of the pub- lic, and indignation is expressed at tho impor- tation of the bacilli of tho Indian plague, whloh led to Barsch's death. Thore seems to have been oarelessness in tbe keeping of the ani- mals that were being subjected to experiment with the culture germs of the disease. Barsoh did not disinfect himself and did neteven wash his hands after tending tbe animals. A move- ment Is on foot to induce the Government to stop the experiments, and a petition has been seut to tho Burgomaster to that effect. Notloe has been given in tho Relchsrath of an Inter- pellation on the subjeot. It is not certain whether the nurses are suf- fering from bubonic plague or nervousness. Dr. Muller, the physician who attended Barsch, Is now Isolated, though he Is well. Physicians ridicule the scare.

It wag thd President ot the Republican County Commit J toe's own meeting. It answered, as could havR m been answered in no other way. any qnesttotjj that thore might havo been about tho loyaltl M and the earnestness of the work of the Repuad llcan organisation for its candidate forGotJ ernor. At 7 o'clock the Riding Academy was jammed with a cheering crowd. The people cheered everything and everybody, and when tha nam of Theodore Roosevelt was mentioned they1 leaped up and roared until there wasn't a ehMft left in them, and tho band had to play to giva them a chance to get their breath. Ther cheered themselves out, and then ther resorted to a new sort of applause. It conslstod ot hoars bellows through megaphones Improvised from, newspapers, and the bellows sounded like thd roll of thunder. A SgKTHIMO MASS Of ENTHUSIASM. A platform had been built In the centre on the Eighth avenue side of the Riding Academy ... and the seats on that were reserved tor Re publicans of prominence, who. when theyap peered, almost without exception, had the) ruffled appearance that a man might who had been having a fierce tussle with a eable oar. II was the result of the pulling and hauling and hustling that they had to undergo in forcing their way through tho crowd that jammed tha streets and the entrance to the building. Among these Republicans wero C. N. Bovee. John Proctor Clark. Chaunccy H. Depew.George T. Ball. Frank Brainard. City Court Justice W. H. E. Olcott and Senator Ford. Dr. Depew Wag one of the late arrivals. He came with Col. Roosevelt and when tho two at rived the crowd went wild. Every body was on foot. Some leaped um on chairs. Handkerchiefs and hats and over coats were waved and a roar of welcome front the thousands ot throats nearly tore the root off of the building. It waa Rooovelt enthusi- asm. It wouldn't down. It swept over the) audlenco and back again and over and back. It increased in volume and died away, only to) Increase again and roll and roar like a young Niagara. CBAIBMAM'8 TASK NO SIXBCOBB. Col. Roosevelt acknowledged the recopttom with bows, and the cheering lasted long after he had made his acknowledgments and had seated himself near Dr. Depew. C. N. Bovea was the Chairman of the meeting, and when he finally was able to make himself heard. which was not until after a quartet, bad suae the crowd Into silence, ho said : "The Democratic party deolaros that thd only questions to be considered by voters this year arise out of State issues and that notional Issues have nothing to do with the controversy. The Republican party says that Stat and aa tlonal issues are inseparable. There are thirty four Congressmen to be elected in New York, and on the success of the Republican party de pends the upholding of the policy of President McKlnley's Administration." At the mention of President McKlnley's nam the crowd was on its feet again, cheering and waving handkerchiefs. When he could pro ceed. Mr. Bovoe said that the Hepubllcaa party did not shrink from the discussion of State Issues, and then he talked of good gov ernment and eulogized Col. Roosevelt " It gt convention had ever registered the populaa will." he said. " it was the convention at Sara- toga, and If ever a convention had nothing? whatever to do with the selection of a oandi' i date. It was the convention at Syracuse." Mr. Bovee referred to Col. Roosevelt's record In the State Assembly, in the office ot I'olloa Commissioner, in tho office of Federal Civil Service Commissioner, and finally in the office of Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He con eluded by saying: "It is now my pleasure t present to you the soldier, the patriot, tha statesman, and the next Governor ot the State) of New York, Col. Theodore Roosevelt." The rising of Col. Roosevelt and the audlenoa wag simultaneous. The Colonel raised his hand for silence, but he might as well have) H tried to stop the wind from blowing. Tha people jumped up and down and cheered and shouted and waved things at him and yelled. "You're all right!" " Wo'rav with you. Teddy." nnd a thousand other thing until finally they tired themselvos and OoLj Roosevelt got a chance to speak. "I think.', t . said the Colonel, "that by this time my opj i J ponenta are pretty well satisfied that they cant raise an issue on which I won't meet them." There were half a dor.en shouts ot " You're), all right. Teddy," and "Put It to 'em now, glvaj It to 'em hard." When the Colonel could ks! resumed his speech. He said: COL. BOOSBVBLT'S SPEECH. "The most Important State Issue before us, the most Important State issue that can urtt arise, is the Independence and honesty of the) judiciary. Our opponent have just lefused to renominate a Democratic Judge who had beea twenty-eigh- t vears on the bench, snd against whose conduct a i Judge not s word could b said. But to quote their own language, ha had, while Judge, 'refused to recognise hi obligations to Tammany Hall,' and for thla rei.son they are seeking the disgrace of Judge Daly. I am glad that the Republicans had the wisdom and the public jpirit themselve to nominate this Democrat, for the first and most vital interest In public affairs Is to aa ure the purity and independence of the bench. We want Judges who, when they are on tha bench, will emphatically refuse to recogahc ." their obligations to any political organisation, tfa" A because we hold that a Judge has no such ob- ligations: that his obligations are to the peo- ple md to his own conscience and to nothing , else. Not content with refusing to renomi- nate Judge Daly, our opponents are now en- deavoring to blacken his character. They say, forsooth, thot Tweed testified against him. Well, I should be exceedingly sorry If Tweed had testified in his favor. If the people of this i oounty permit Judges to be dc'e.ited and elected they rcc their oldlg itlona a to Tammany Hall, we shall then be in meas- urable distance of the.etate of affairs ot twenty-eigh- t tears iiko. when we had on JH BJ bench three Judges, llntiiard. fardor-- and who did recognize such obligations aad ," MM who were Impeached because of that very WEf BM fact.

Tbodor Roosevelt had a long and very

huik talk with the Assembly dlstrlot leadersj j, it York eouDtr yesterday afternoon. Thoonltrenc took place in the rooms of the

County Committee on the fourth floorV the Metropolitan Lite Insurance building.

jrtrr district leader was present. Thebegan shortly before 4 o'clock anduntil about half oast 0. When It was

meeting waa behind closed doorson of the dlstrlot leaders who had attendedtil'-"I hare attended a good many political

tut this is the greatest one that Iirir inen anything about. That man Roose-ra- lt

li a corker. I never knew any thins; aboutdim pemoually until Now I fael that Iknow him pretty well. I am not exactly what'tou might call emotional, but after hearingRoosevelt talk and seeing- - tho man, I tell youhe Is a good fellow to stick to. Yon know l?

where he is. and If fellow tries to dodgehim that chap feels mighty unoomfortable bef-

ore h sets through. I have been in politicsin this State for about twenty years and for agood part of that time I hare been a districtleader in this oltv. Therefore I como prettynear knowing what I am talking; about whenI tell tou that thore never was Gubernatorialeampalgn in the history ot the Btate wherethere wan such a thoiough understanding: bo-

te n the candidate and the men who were toget out the votes. He talked to us prettyplainly sometimes, but we understood that hemeant exactlr what ha said and we all con-

cluded that the thing for as to do was to fol-o-

his lead and get a move on quick."The c inference, was called at Col. Boosevelt's

own request He told Congressman Qulgcm'l the other managers of the Republicancampaign in this country that he Wanted tomeet the men who are responsible for gettingout the vote in the different Assembly districtson election dev. He .said he knew some ofthem personally, more he only knew by sight,and a few he didn't know at all. He told thenanagers that he wanted to And out what kindof men vcre to work for him on election dayand he wanted those men to know just whatkind if a man he was and where he stood. Haraid he hsd no doubt that the district leaderscould give him many valuable suggestions asto the conduct of the campaign and he saidthere were a few things he wanted to tell theeiders, accordingly the conference was ar-ranged.

Alter an Interchange of greetings betweenthe candidate and the distriot leaders, CoL

ltow.elt suggoated that the way to beginwet to begin, and that they would better cetdown to business at onoe. Then he askedw'.o should talk first Everybody wanted tohear about the Colonel's trip through theEuite, and sn he gave a brief history of it. Hetold the leaders that everywhere he went hewas received not only with enthusiasm, butwith the kindest expressions of cue urage-me- nt

and support This enthusiasm andthese expressions of encouragement he said,he was sure were not at all personal to him.bnt came from the fulness of the hearts of aRopie who believe in the cause of the

party in this State and who belierla Handing by the President and the flag un-til-

least a muoh more formidable docu-ment than a peace protocol has been signedto evidence that the war Is over and thatHpali and the United States are actually atpeace.

fie told them that he had had some experi-ene- .i

In addressing public meetings and hehad had on more than one occasion the privil-

ege of meeting Urge numbers of people.But he said that never in all his publio experie-nce had he ever seen so largo and enthusiast-ic crowds as those which greeted him fromthe time he left Weehawken until he got backto the Grand Central Station. It crowds andenthusiasm were any indication of the num-ber of votes which the Republican ticketwould secure north of the Bronx, the ticketwould receive a tremendous plurality. HesI'l. however, that crowds and enthusiasmwere one thing and votes were another, andthat whither or not the vote waa got out onelection day depended upon the distriot lead-m'f- it

New Yorkleounty quite as muoh a uponthe leaders up the Btate. After he had toldhis story Col. Roosevelt gold he waa ready tohear from the leaders.

The reports were taken up. It was said, bydistricts, and the leaders gave Ithe mostroseate view of the situation In their particul-ar bailiwicks. The general opinion seemed tobe that there was absolutely no opposition Mothe Bepublican candidates. This thing hadrun for a short time, when Col. Roose-velt Interrupted the reporttof one of the lead-en with a remark which ;was. In substance,reported to be as follows:

"This is simply beautiful, gentlemen, but letme tell you right here that you needn't be a bitafraid of hurting my feelings or discouragingne. When a man is running for office he canttt all kinds of encouraging reports. If theywere all true and his opponent got the samekind of reports both would be elected by a tre-mendous plurality. The difficulty is to get re-sorts that are not encouraging. Now. I knowsomething about New York politics and theecUtleal conditions in these very districts ofwhich you are tho leaders. I know, just as well

tou know, that there is opposition to me inany districts. Now. gentlemen, let's know

rot what that opposition is. Let us know the"act truth. We will all feel better after it la"own. II In any dlstrlot there is strong

to me let's know all about it. If thereu some opposition In other dlgtrlcts let's k..owwnt that. When we know the exact strength

m the onemrfwo shall then know the best way"Whip him. Now. let's have facts."

II la reported that there was a sort of generalWenee for a few mlnutei aftor Col. Roosevelt's'maik. but then the work began all over againM by the time all of the reports were In the

Uood Knongti for a Wtda-Ope- n Town.In 1880 David Levenlritt was a candidate for

Judge ot the Court ot Common Fleas. HenryRlsohoff. Jr., was also a candidate, sir.Croker had practically declared that Mr. BIs-cho- ff

should be nominated. Leventritt whowasjat that time a personal friend of Po-

lice Commissioner Martin, got Martin to pleadhis oause with Mr. Croker. The result wasthat Blsohoff was put off with a promisednomination for Register, and Leventritt waaslated for the Common Pleas bench.

At the County Convention In Tammany Hall,when it came time for nominations, Mr.

name was presented and somebodygot up to second the nomination. While thisman was making his speech, a Tammany Halllawyer sought Mr. Croker and some of theother leaders In a great hurry, and. as quloklyas possible, told the history ot the Lucca oaasabout which muoh has already been printed,and the connection ot the Arm of NewoombeA Leventritt with It This man told Mr.Croker that the oaae was familiar to every law-yer In the olty of New York, and that It wouldnever do to nominate a man, for Judge of theCourt of Common Pleaa whose professionalrecord had been so besmirched.

The story waa all news to Mr, Croker andthe other Tammany leaders, but they saw thatIt would never do to nominate Leventritt Ahasty conference was called In one corner ofthe room. Instructions had been given inthe meantime to the man who was secondingLeventritt' nomination to keep on talking andthrow as muoh eloquence into his speech aspossible. The man obeyed his Instructions,and while ho was speaking it was decided thatLeventritt must not be nominated. The tipwas hurriedly passed around that BisohofTsname should be presented immediately andthat he should be nominated. The orderswere carried out and when the vote was takenthe most surprised man in the hall was DavidLeventritt BisohofTs nomination was al-most unanimous, and It was some tire beforeMr. Leventritt knew what had happened.

On two or three oeoasloi:. since 1880 Mr.Leventritt has sought a judiciary nomination,but hs wbs always reminded ot the Lucca caseand told that it would never do to go beforethe people with that record. After having

Organised a Plot to Proclaim a Revolutionla Havana Against the Sovereignty ofSpate and Declare a Bnanlsh-Amerioa- a

Repnblle, with Himself at the Hand.Wasbikotow, Oot. 20. According to a pri-

vate telegram received In Washington y

from Havana Captain-Gener- Blanco, Gon.Pando and other prominent Spaniards had. attho time of the surrender ot Santiago, organ-ized a plot to proclaim a Spanish-America- n re-

public In Cuba. The preliminary steps had allbeen taken, and had the plot succeeded theUnited States might have had another war onhand.

It la well known that Gen. Blanco was fromthe first strongly In favor ot prolonging thewar against tho United States and the Cubaninsurgents, and had declared his intention ottaking the field himself at the head of theSpanish army and meeting the Amorlcan forcesIn open battle, contesting yard by yard the ter-ritory of Cuba with tho invaders. He waatherefore bitterly opposed to the action of theMadrid Government In entering Into peacenegotiations, which meant the surrender ofCuba and the evacuation of tho Spanish forcesfrom the Island.

Gen. Blanco called into consultation Gen.Pando, together with his staff and chief sup-porters, Including the leaders among the vo-lunteers In Havana, and there was much dis-cussion as to what was to be dono. Cubanspies were aware of the secret meetings of theleaders, which were frequent bnt were nnableto learn what question was being considered,and It was only recently that the plot waa re-

vealed.The plan was that Gon. Blanco should pro-

claim a revolution In Havana against thesovereignty of Spain and declare a Spanish-America- n

republic with himself at the head ofthe Government All the various leaders of thecivil government and the commanders of thevolunteers and the Spanish army were to con-cur In the movement, sever their allegiance toSpain, and turn over their commands to GenBlanco under his new government. Tho move-ment waa to be entirely fiee and independento( the Insurgents, who were not to be recognisedto any extent, but only the strictly Spanishelement was to be regarded, with the Spanisharm in and about Havana and the volunteersall supporting the new revolutionary govern-ment under Blanco Spain would have been in ahopeless oondltlop. an 1 would be forced tosurrender its sovereignty and reeognlxo thelndennnlence of the new Spanish-America- n

roti lbllo.b it the plotters went further than this,

which was necessary In order to carry out thogel eme and to secure suppllos and provisions.Euvoys wbpi sent out from Havana by Gen.Blanco to all the Spanish-America- n countriesto secure their cooperation and aldandthfirrecognition of the new republic as soon as itshould be declared by Gen. Blanco. Thiswould insure tho government of Blanoo bel-ligerent rights, and was Intondedto he amennswhich would Insure them supplies to oarry

the movemont. Oen. Pan-io- . the moetrusted sorvonf of (.ten. Blanco nnd the ec-on-

in command on the Island, was secretly de-spatched to Mexico, and. like the other ambas-sadors, worked In secret and w"b a twofold

Whenever discovered it was shownfiurpose. were endeavoring to secure suppU'-- i

for the bpanlah Army aad for the sufferingpeople of Havana, hut another and most impor-tant part ot their mission was to impress uponthe various Governments the sincerity of themovement to establish another Spanish-America- n

republic which they would be in dutybound to recognize.

Oen. Pando. who was Incognito In Mexico,waa recognized at Vera Cruz and several otherMexican cities, but It in id that he neverthelesssneceedod in impressing many loaders of theMexican Government with tho idea that Gen.Blanoo would shortly pi dalm himself as Dic-tator of anew Spanlsh-Amorioa- n republic. Atthe time of his return from Mexico and hislanding at Batabano he waa enthusiastic overthe project and believed that It could be suc-cessfully oarrled out Simultaneously Gen.Aldecoa and Gen. Pujol returned from similarmissions to some of the South and CentralSpanish-Americ- republics with their reportsto be submitted to Gen. Blanco looking towardthe execution of their plot.

Following this came the Spanish defeats onsea and land, and other returning envoys onthis account reported lukewarmness op thepart of the Governments to which they hadbeen commissioned. Gen. Blanco endeavoredto the best of his ability, and with the active co-operation of all his lieutenants, to revive endcontinue tho project but the tact that Spainsoon afterward began to me for peace put anend to the plan. Nevertheless, Gen. Blancoprotested against the overtures and desired tohave the war ocntlnued.

There is a question as to whether the plotwas devised in Madrid, with the consent otSeflor Ssgaata and the Government, or whetherIt was purely an act of treachery on the part ofGen. Blanco and his supporters. The fact thatSpain began suit for peace after the fall ofSantiago and that Gsn. Blanco's plan wasthereby prevented from being carried Into ex-ecution, leads those who have discovered the

to tho belief that Gen. Blanco and thefilot of the Spanish army who wanted toprolong the fight for their own Individualbenefit, bad acted Independently. However, itis also thought that Gen. b nnco'H intentionwas ultimately, If he could eicceed in estab-lishing his Spanish- - American republic, to turnit over to Spain, either by purchase or other-wise, at the and of a certain time.

A further part of the plot was to reach outafter the repuMIc had been established In Ha-vana, and conquer the remaining portions oftho Island held by tho Insurgents as fast aspossible nntli tho Island should be entirely re-claimed. Gen. Blanco and his supporters alsolabored under the belief that by revoltingagainst Spain and declaring nn independentgovernment, which should be firmly andatrongly organized, they would get the recog-nition of their Independence from the I'nltedStates, which the insurgents had failed to se-cure.

After the surrender the report waa sent outthat leave of absence had benn given Gen.Pando br Gen. Blanco, and that he was per-mitted to return to Spain. It now developsthat he was recalled by the Madrid Governmentforth" part he had taken in the plan for themock rebellion. Gen. Blanco, when the factsostensibly became known to tho home Govern-ment, having made It appear that Gen. Pandoand not himself was at the head of the move-ment.HIMTH KBW YOltK VOTES TO QUIT.

fore that he had been cashier for twenty-fiv- e

years.An examination of the bank has been made

by Btate Bank Fjtamlner JttOson within thepast few days. The examination waa mane atthe suggestion of the Clearing House Commit-tee, because of rumors that have been circu-lated recently In wbloh the name ot the bankwas mentioned. The reault of tho ex-

amination has been reported by Mr.Judson to Banking State SuperintendentKllburn and to President W. A. Nash of theCorn Exchange Bank, who Is Chairman of theClearing House Committee. His report was ineffect that the bank Is perfectly solvent andthat Its capital is absolutely unimpaired,though there had been some Inroads upon Itssurplus, which, however, any bank might suf-

fer In the course of business.The rumors whloh caused the examination

to be made appear to have grown out of theoffering In the financial district of notes eitherdrawn or Indorsed by President Baltes. Stockof the bank waa offered as collateralagainst the notes drawn by Mr. Baltes.According to ourrent report It waa by meang ofsuch notes that control of the bank's stock wag

secured at t lie time of hla election to tho Presi-dency ot the bank. That is. Mr. Baltes bor-

rowed money on his own stock and with themoney obtained more stook to borrow moremoney on.

The notes lndors"d by Mr. Baltes are re-

ported to Include some of the Tacoma andColumbia Rlvor Railroad, of 40 Wall street, arood projected from Tacoma. Wash., to Dallas.Or., a distance of 145 miles, of which but 13Xmiles has been built.

OUR INFLEXIBLE DEMANDS.

Our Commissioners Silent When the SpanishWax Eloquent Negotiations on Our SideConducted Entirely In tTritlng -- TTe AreAccused of Refusing to Yield nn Inch.

Sptcial Cailt Dnpttrhii tt Tag Hns.

LoNPO. Oct. 21. The Paris correspondent ofthe TVmM records a visit he received from"a great Spanish personare, who seems tohave been commissioned to ascertain the trendof public opinion on the peace negotiations."The correspondent says that the personageappeared to be muoh depressed. He said hehad found great general sympathy for Spain,bnt had not discovered any possibility ot ob-

taining moral support against the Americandelegates, who wore Inflexible In their de-

mands, and who, with much politeness, had cat-egorically refused hitherto to make the slight-est concession in any ot their instructions. Itseoms that they have never asked Washing-ton for the slightest modifications.

Tho Americans adhere to the method of con-ducting the negotiations by written memorialsand written replies. The Spaniards try re-

peatedly to start a verbal discussion in orderto obtain a deviation from the Inflexibleline followed by the Americans. Seflor Abar-zur- a,

a member of tho Spanish Commission,who is reputed to be a master of English, es-

pecially attempts to initiate conversation. Be-

ing eloquent, ho always profoundly impressesthe Americans, who listen attentively, but rig-idly maintain their procedure.

The personage told tha correspondent that hafound the Spaniards much discouraged. Theywere convinced that the United States was benton a rigorous exercise of Its rights aa a vic-tor. He recalled the statement of Prince Bis-marck aa to the necessity of avoidingthe abuse of victory, by whloh tbe conquerorloads himself with a crushing burden that Isalmost more damaging to himself than to thevanquished.

" The Americans." continued the speaker," are not adopting this wise and humane view.They refuse to make any concession onthe financial question. We have vainlyurged that they themselves acceptedfinancial obligations from England af-

ter tho war of independence, accepted bur-dens In connection with Texas, and that Itwould be an arbitrary course and a vexatiousprecedent to throw the Cuban debt on Spain.All has been useless. Now, what our delegatesshould say to them If they persist Is :

"'We are in your hands. You are tno vic-tors. We onco committed the folly of going towar with you because you did not leave ustime to avoid it and beoause you treated us sothat we were bound to plunge into war, thoughwe foresaw the result.

T But we will not commit the fresh folly ofrocommenolng It in any form. We submit toyour dictates and leavo the world to judgethem, hut no human force can compel us tosubscribe to them and we shall not subscribe."

Pabis, Oot. 20. The (Mulois says that fromsuoh Information as Is obtainable there is rea-son to believe that an understanding has beenreached by the Peace Commission in the matterof the Cuban debt, upon the basis that theUnited States refugee to assume the debt, yetwill guarantor debts contracted aolely In theinterest of the island.

Tbe GauloU asserts that political motivesare at the bottom ot the postponement of yes-terday's session of tha Peace Commission. ThaAmerican Commissioners, the paper argues,replied to certain arguments on the part of theSpanish by declaring that the United Stateswould dellnltely refuse to accept the wholeCuban debt, though they were prepared toguarantee the local debts Incurred In Cubandevelopment. This contention on the part ofthe Americans was submitted by the Spaniardsto the Madrid Government, whloh delayed Itsanswer, henise the postponement.

Respecting the Philippines, the Qaiiloitsays it is learned from a trustworthy sourcethat when tho protocol was drafted and wassubmitted prior to signature to the MadridGovernmentthe Sagasta Cabinet agreed to itsterms provided that Spain's sovereignty, overtho Islands should be maintained Intact. TheWashington Government offered no objec-tion to this, and Spain thereupon approved theprotocol, containing a vague clause referringto the occupation of Manila.

The GauloiM points out the fact that the Re-

publicans of various States include the ques-tion of the retention of the Philippines In theirelection platforms. The American Commis-sion at Paris is chiefly composed of Republi-cans, and they would consequently feel thefiwkwardness ot discussing the Philippines

that Spanish sovereigntythem should be reserved might cause aRverot votoa to the party.

PBEPABISU TO OCCUPT CUBA.

The Vanguard of the Army, Under Gen.Lee. to Start In Two Weeks.

Washihotojc, O :t. 20. Plans for the militaryoccupation of Cuba are being perfected rapidly,and y the War Department officials hudadvanced to the point where they wero able toset a definite date for the beginning of the as-

sumption of control over the Island. Accord-ing to the present Intention, tho vanguard ofthe army of occupation will leave the UnitedStales on Nov. 8. two weeks fromThereafter, until the occupation is completed,troops will be lsnded in Cuba as rapidly as pos-sible. While Bee. 1 is the date sat tor theformal surrenderof authority by the Spaniards,nearly all the cities and towns will have beengarrisoned by American soldiers by that time.Havana will not be entered until the date thatwill mark the end nt Spanish sovereignty Inthe island, but American troops will have land-ed In the vicinity of the capital nnd be ready tomarch in and assume formal control on the daywhen Spanish authority ends.

The first expedition of the army of occupa-tion will be composed of Major-Ge- FltzhughLee's Seventh Army Corps. It will sell fromSavannah ou Nov. 'J, unless something unfore-seen occurs to prevent the plan from beingcarried out and will lie landed ut Matanzae,llfty miles from Havana. O.i Monday noxt, ac-cording to the arrangements of the War De-partment, Gen. Leo's corps will begin movingfrom its present oamp at Jacksonville, Fla..to Thunderbolt, da . near Snvannah. Prepar-atory orders have been Issued to the chiefstaff officers of the corps, and they will beginthe shipment of equipment and supplies In timeto have everything ready for the troops whenthey reach Thumiernolt

The greatest difficulty that the War Depart-ment expects to encounter in the shipment of1 oops arises from the scarcity of transports.Only fourteen are now in service on the Atlan-tic coast, and some of these must be used torthe transportation of troops and supplies to andfrom Santiago and Manzanlllo, Cuba, and SanJuan and Ponce, Porto Rico. With such asmall number at its command the departmentIs dubious as to Its ability to place in Cuba forthe occupation of Havana u sufficient numborof soldiers to garrison the elty on Dee. 1. An-

other em burressmen tent lcliated Is found in theauarantlne laws In the ports In the United

the troops will sail. It Is ex-pected that Savannah and other places thatmay be designated as points of embarkationwill compel transports returning from Cuba toremain In quarantine for the regular period.Just as long as the transports are detained.Just so niucn delay will there be, and with notmore than a dozeu troopships in sorvico theendeavor to get a big army in Cuba by the datethe Spanish must relinquish authority Is likelyto bo less sucoesstui than tbe Administrationhad hopod.

Secretary Alger told a Sun reporter thisevening that he had uonewsfromthe AmericanEvacuation Commission at Havana. All he hidreceived from the Cuban capital hesaid, was a long mossage from Col. Lee. thehead of the party ol ljuartoruiasters engagedIn selecting oamp sites for United Statestroops, relating solely to specifications forlumber to lie used In erecting hospitals and itiflooring lentM. The most areful attention willLa given to tbe health and comfort of Ametlcobtroops and the Government is sparing no ex-pense or trouble In providing suitable quartersaad plenty of wholesome food.

very little new press comment TheJafafm says if any unfriendly act Is committedEngland will be the delinquent . because she hasdivided Egypt with everybody except France,which had the most right there.

A despatch to the Temps from London as-serts that the precise position regarding theUpper Nils question is this:

Great Britain, having declared her claims onFashoda, asked France to submit whatoverproposals she wished to make. M. Doles-- f

the French Foreign Minister, replied plainlythat France demanded an outlet on the Nile, areservation being made concerning the geo-graphical points to be determined upon. LordSalisbury, the British Prime Minister, Is nowconsulting his colleagues on the subject.

The Municipal Council ot Paris has adopted aresolution expressing the hope that the Gov-ernment without neglecting the material andmoral Interests of the country, will employevery effort to obviate a serious conflict withGreat Britain and the consequenees thereof.

London, Oct. 20. The speech delivered atNorth Shields yesterday by Sir MIohael Hicks-Boac- h.

In whloh he declared that there weregreater evils than war, and that Englandwould not shrink from anything that mightcome, has further stimulated discussion of theFashoda situation. Nearly all of the afternoonnewspapers contain leading articles on thasubject

The iufl Mall Gazelles article is headed"Worse Things Than War." and points out theadvantages that England would be likely togain In case of war.

The St. Jamet't Gazette nnys : " There is rea-son for England to be calm, not because of thereports that France is arming, which we do notbolieve, but because we are as ready with ournational defenoes as ever In our history."

The Ufmii.fer Gairttt praises tho CabinetCouncil's skilful management of the Fashodaaffair, and says : "Publio opinion, though firmconcerning the substance of the dispute, re-

quires Lord Salisbury to do nothing to IncreaseFrance's difficulties."

from bubonic plague of Herr Barsch. a sur-gical assistant employod In the laboratory ofProf. Nothnagel. has been followed by the sick-ness of the two nurses who attended him.

The Hon. Lemuel E. gulag's Congress dietrict outdid last night even the borough atfBrooklyn In the magnitude and the eftthaKalaam of its reception to Col. Theodore Boose;velt. Durland's Riding Aeadomy. whloh holdmore people by a thousand than the Academyof Mamie, In Brooklyn, was crowded to the dooraiThe plar.a in front of It and tho streets oa elttmfjside were jammed with cheering crowds, anolfrom early evening until latent night the city Irsthe neighborhood ot Eighth avonue and Fiftyninth street was in an uproar. It wag thdPresident ot the Republican County Commit Jtoe's own meeting. It answered, as could havR mbeen answered in no other way. any qnesttotjjthat thore might havo been about tho loyaltl Mand the earnestness of the work of the Repuadllcan organisation for its candidate forGotJernor.

At 7 o'clock the Riding Academy was jammedwith a cheering crowd. The people cheeredeverything and everybody, and when tha namof Theodore Roosevelt was mentioned they1leaped up and roared until there wasn't a ehMftleft in them, and tho band had to play to givathem a chance to get their breath. Thercheered themselves out, and then ther resortedto a new sort of applause. It conslstod ot hoarsbellows through megaphones Improvised from,newspapers, and the bellows sounded like thdroll of thunder.

A SgKTHIMO MASS Of ENTHUSIASM.

A platform had been built In the centre onthe Eighth avenue side of the Riding Academy ...and the seats on that were reserved tor Republicans of prominence, who. when theyappeered, almost without exception, had the)ruffled appearance that a man might who hadbeen having a fierce tussle with a eable oar. IIwas the result of the pulling and hauling andhustling that they had to undergo in forcingtheir way through tho crowd that jammed thastreets and the entrance to the building.Among these Republicans wero C. N. Bovee.John Proctor Clark. Chaunccy H. Depew.GeorgeT. Ball. Frank Brainard. City Court Justice W.H. E. Olcott and Senator Ford. Dr. Depew Wagone of the late arrivals. He came withCol. Roosevelt and when tho two atrived the crowd went wild. Everybody was on foot. Some leaped umon chairs. Handkerchiefs and hats and overcoats were waved and a roar of welcome frontthe thousands ot throats nearly tore the rootoff of the building. It waa Rooovelt enthusi-asm. It wouldn't down. It swept over the)audlenco and back again and over and back.It increased in volume and died away, only to)Increase again and roll and roar like a youngNiagara.

CBAIBMAM'8 TASK NO SIXBCOBB.

Col. Roosevelt acknowledged the recopttomwith bows, and the cheering lasted long afterhe had made his acknowledgments and hadseated himself near Dr. Depew. C. N. Boveawas the Chairman of the meeting, and whenhe finally was able to make himself heard.which was not until after a quartet, bad suaethe crowd Into silence, ho said :

"The Democratic party deolaros that thdonly questions to be considered by voters thisyear arise out of State issues and that notionalIssues have nothing to do with the controversy.The Republican party says that Stat and aatlonal issues are inseparable. There are thirtyfour Congressmen to be elected in New York,and on the success of the Republican party depends the upholding of the policy of PresidentMcKlnley's Administration."

At the mention of President McKlnley's namthe crowd was on its feet again, cheering andwaving handkerchiefs. When he could proceed. Mr. Bovoe said that the Hepubllcaaparty did not shrink from the discussion ofState Issues, and then he talked of good government and eulogized Col. Roosevelt " It gt

convention had ever registered the populaawill." he said. " it was the convention at Sara-toga, and If ever a convention had nothing?whatever to do with the selection of a oandi' idate. It was the convention at Syracuse."

Mr. Bovee referred to Col. Roosevelt's recordIn the State Assembly, in the office ot I'olloaCommissioner, in tho office of Federal CivilService Commissioner, and finally in the officeof Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He coneluded by saying: "It is now my pleasure tpresent to you the soldier, the patriot, thastatesman, and the next Governor ot the State)of New York, Col. Theodore Roosevelt."

The rising of Col. Roosevelt and the audlenoawag simultaneous. The Colonel raised hishand for silence, but he might as well have) Htried to stop the wind from blowing. Thapeople jumped up and down and cheeredand shouted and waved things at himand yelled. "You're all right!" " Wo'ravwith you. Teddy." nnd a thousand other thinguntil finally they tired themselvos and OoLjRoosevelt got a chance to speak. "I think.', t .

said the Colonel, "that by this time my opj i Jponenta are pretty well satisfied that they cantraise an issue on which I won't meet them."

There were half a dor.en shouts ot " You're),all right. Teddy," and "Put It to 'em now, glvajIt to 'em hard." When the Colonel could ks!resumed his speech. He said:

COL. BOOSBVBLT'S SPEECH.

"The most Important State Issue before us,the most Important State issue that can urttarise, is the Independence and honesty of the)judiciary. Our opponent have just lefused torenominate a Democratic Judge who had beeatwenty-eigh- t vears on the bench, snd againstwhose conduct a i Judge not s word could bsaid. But to quote their own language, hahad, while Judge, 'refused to recognise hiobligations to Tammany Hall,' and for thlarei.son they are seeking the disgrace of JudgeDaly. I am glad that the Republicans hadthe wisdom and the public jpirit themselveto nominate this Democrat, for the first andmost vital interest In public affairs Is to aa

ure the purity and independence of the bench.We want Judges who, when they are on thabench, will emphatically refuse to recogahc ."their obligations to any political organisation, tfa" Abecause we hold that a Judge has no such ob-ligations: that his obligations are to the peo-ple md to his own conscience and to nothing ,

else. Not content with refusing to renomi-nate Judge Daly, our opponents are now en-deavoring to blacken his character. They say,forsooth, thot Tweed testified against him.Well, I should be exceedingly sorry If Tweedhad testified in his favor. If the people of this ioounty permit Judges to be dc'e.ited andelected they rcc their oldlg itlona ato Tammany Hall, we shall then be in meas-urable distance of the.etate of affairs ottwenty-eigh- t tears iiko. when we had on JH BJbench three Judges, llntiiard. fardor-- and

"The two chief qualities needed in publl?Affairs and especially in the public affairs ofa republic like ours, are honesty and courage.They are a great deal more important thanBrilliancy or genius; iuat exactly ns characterfa a great deal more importnnt than Intellect.This nation can never permanently endureamong the great nations of the world if it Is

lther cowardly or corrupt. I remember oneSay In Washington last spring when we wereSnaking the navy ready for war and my navalaide, who afterward commanded with great

one of the warships, had been busilyfajlantryIn preparing contracts for the conver-alo- n

of auxiliary vessels for sums which aggre-gated several millions of dollnrs. All of these

B Ships were nrn purchased through theor nix naval ofllcers. not one of whom hadtnuch more than his anything but ample sal-ary to live on. At the end of the day it cameon to rain very heavily, and I thought I wouldtake a car home, but found I had only fouroents in my pocket. So I asked in v aide if hecould lend me either a cent or a nickel, and heresponded;' 'Mr. Secretary. I haven't a soli-tary cent about me.' I laughed'and aaid: 'Wall,lieutenant, that Is why we are going to beatthe Spaniards. When you can get a half dozennaval officers who will handle as many mil-

lions of dollars and not have one cent aboutthem, why, the nation that has got them ashired men oan be perfectly sure they will dotheir work well.' Of course I spoke In jest.but seriously, even in military matters, the

of the civil administration Is quite aaiioneaty as the courage of the soldier, and

war it had quite aa much to do withour overwhelming superiority when pittedagainst the Spaniards Just 'ao it is' in ourState matters. We need fearlessness andprobity in dealing with every question thatarises. We need common sense, also, verymuch, but even above this fearlessness andprobity."

BINATOR PUTT APPEARS.While Col. Roosevelt was speaking Senator

Piatt arrived at the meeting. Ho was seen bybe crowd and there wero instantly calls from

everypartof the hull for cheers for the Sena-tor. And they were given, Col. Rooseveltturned and bowed to the Senator. Col. Roose-velt concluded his speech with a strongappeal to every man in the audience to get out

y and Saturday and register, and see thatail his friends registered. He talked at somolength on the duty of Republicans to attend tothis businesa. And as he talkedthe crowd shouted that they'd register, sure.

When the Colonol finished there was a repe-tition of the enthusiasm that had greeted himand it lasted fully two minutes. He had toaddress the overflow meeting, as well an twoor three other meetings, and he loft theAcademy immediately. He stopped to shakehands with Senator I'latt on the way out. Thecrowd in the building cheered him until he wasout of sight.

DEPEW'b BBIOI1T FUTUHt.Chairman Boveo. when ho could make him-

self uenixl. said that no great popular Repub-lican demonstration like tills ope would beeomplutu without bearing the prince of orators,Ih.l)epOW. And the doctorgot-almos- t as en-thusiastic a reception as hnd Col. Roosevelt,winding up with calls lor "three cheers forthe next I nited States Senator" and "threecheers for the next President," and both setswere given with equal forvor.

The doctor began by saying it seemed toElm hardly appropriate that the peacefultaubark of a citizen anil a eitizeness ridingacademy should be the scene of such a royalWelcome to rough riders from Santiago. Buthe said the welcome that Rough Rider Roose-velt had received was sim plv a repetition of thecheering greeting he had received up theCentral Railroad and through the northerncounties of the State.

Dr. Depew then referred to a speech be madetwo years ago in the Academv in advocacy ofthe election of President Qulgg to Congress,and he said that the record of these two yearsdemonstrated the good sense of the people inaending to Congress a man who hud re-

flected such credit on the district and on theState as had Mr. (Juigg. and ho said:

We ore going to send him hack again." Dr.E" referred to the condition of the countryago. when he said, the people were

on the dividing line between hope and despair.having passed through years of the worst in-

dustrial panic ever known in the history of thecountry. He said ibat on that occasion the

had voted light, and the result was anaccomplished revolut ion for the benefit of theAmerican people. The country had come fromdarkness into light, from despair tnto full hope,and all ovur the leugth and breadth of theland the wheels of Industry were spinning andpeace and prosperity reigned. Then ha said:

"From an Isolated power on one side of theAtlantic, we have become a world power."

Viewing theso results, he said lie wonderedWhy his Democratic friends should put up anycanvass at all this year.

DEMOCRATIC IHUliilMl or ISSUES."They tell me," he said. " it is because It is a

State issue. When you say to them. ' What arerour principles; what do you intend todo to-ward earning them out in the nextlCoiigress V

they say they intend Ui dig out the l'.rie; you say to them. ' How do you intend if

Ennd elect u I uiied Ktules Senator andmembers of Congress, how do you intendon the silver question ; how do you

to treat an honest dollar '!' and they saythey're going to repeal thu Raines law.

"In an evening paper there Is a tel-egram from Washington announcing that theDemocratic National Committee lias startedthe circulation of campaign literature devotedwholly to free sliver, but that it does not Intendto circulate this literature in the States of New

KVork and New Jersey. Now, what kind of aIs it that does not dare to circulate its

principles printed among Ita own people in allparts of the country?"

Dr. Depew then turned his attention to Wil-liam Jennings ljryan and had n little fun with

Pliini. Ho said he still clung to the ltt to 1 issue,that the Democratic party in apite of ita

alienee did the same. He told a atory about avlalt to an insane asylum where one of the pa-

tients was ustride a suwhorse. Ho said tothis man: "That's a flue horse you'reriding," and the patient replied: " In Depew.that's not a horse; that's u hobby, and by thoway. Doctor, do you know the difference be-tween a horse ami a hobbv V" Mr. Depew saidho did not. " Well," said the lunatic, you canget off a horse."

The crowd whooped it up for the doctor andveiled that the insane man had good sense.Dr. Depew snid that every promise thathad been made during the Presidentialcampaign had been fulfilled. "We prom-ised honest money." he said. "andevery dollar In the country y is asgood as every other dollar and as good asgold We promised protection to American In-

dustries, and North, South. Kast and West thefactories are running nnd tho mills are goingalmost twenty-fou- r hours a day. We promisedthe people of Cuba liberty, and they have it "

The doctor then siuke of the rewards thathad eoine from keeping faith, which he saidWere the victories of the war. and the crowdcheered to the echo He then spoke of thePhilippines and of China. He said that theUnited Stales must keep the Philippines, andhe said that we wore destined to take a handin China, too. Then he talked about Col.Boosevelt. He said that the Colonel's chiefpeculiarity was that whenever he found a lawthat had to be enforced he enforced it. ThisatartoaThe cheering again. The doctor talkedof the Raines law. ami said it had put SU.lkHi..000 into the State treasury, and had relievedthe taxpayers of ao much burden lie con-cluded with a description of Col Uooscreli'sreoord as a soldier, mid ft took the crowd sev-eral minutes to quiet down after hu had

Mr. Qulgg then took up an Interview withWilliam Astor Chanler. his opponent In thoCongress fight, which was printed inan even-ing paper, and had fun with it. In this inter-view Mr. Chanler told about huntingelephants In Africa, and, about a lotof other things utterly foredgn to theIssues of this campaign. There wasn'ta word In It about, any of the questions thatMr. Chanler might be called on to considerin case he should lie elected to Congress. Mr.Qulgg stated his own position flatly onevery question, nnd said, he was proudto stand on tho Republican platform:that he was proud to. sar that InCongress he hnd stood for gold and had stoodby the McKlnlcv Administration. He calledattention to the fact that every Congressmanfrom the State of New York while y silenton the question of sound moneyhad during the last session of Congressdeclared himself.

CRUSH AT THE 0Vt.HVI.OW VEF.TINO.

The police closed the doors of the ridingacademy at a quarter before H o'clock. Onlymon who were to apeak there wero allowed togo In after that. People with tickets wore toldthat If they went over very quickly to tho Met-ropolitan Bloycle Academy on the other side ofthe Boulevard, where there was to be an over-flow meeting, they might get a good seat andthat Col. Roosevelt would speak there later.At H o'clock there were no more seats in theoverflow meeting.

At five minutes after S there was no standingroom In the bicycle academy and tho policehad to close the doors there, too. Then thecrowds gathered In the street. In theBoulevard, from the circle to Sixtiethstreet, travel was almost blocked. Car-riages and men on foot could get through,but only at a alow pace. Tho police arrange-ments, under the superintendence of Capt,Michael Sheohan. Worked smoothly and withexcellent results. A big policeman waa postedat every window of tho riding aoademy to keeppeople from crowding there and blocking thesidewalk. They let people get just one squintthrough the nettlng-covere- a open space at thecandidate and then passed them on.

PEEPING IN THE WINDOWS.The Nineteenth Assembly District Marahing

Club came down the Boulevard at H:15 o'clock.It had two bands and no end of transparenciesbearing the names of Col. Roosevelt. Congress-man Qulgg and the candidates for tho Senateaud Assembly from that district. The secondhalf of the procession was made up of coloredmen. They yelled aad cheered as they marched.Around the Columbus monument a committeewas industriously sending up bales of rocketsand letting off wagonloads of bombs.

The roars of cheers that issued from the win-dows of the riding academy told of Col. Roose-velt's arrival in the hall, of his introduction tothe audience, of the closing of his speech nnd ofhis departure. After tho last oheer Col.Roosevelt appeared at the door, surround-ed by five policemen, two of whom weresergeants. They put him In his carriage.Mr. Bovee and Color Sergeant Wright inafter him and marched beside the car-riage, restraining people who seemed In-

clined to climb into the windows. Thecarriage moved very slowly, because the crowdwaa dense anyway, and was particularly sowhen word went through It that Col. Roose-velt was In the carriage. Men jumped up anddown and shook their hats at the windows and

the policemen and howledShouldered of college boys at a footballgame. Whenever the racket became Par-ticularly great or when a shout of "noo-ra- y

for Teddy!" rose above the tumult.the Colonel's white, broad-brimme- d hatwas flourished out of the window In reply. Thecarriage went to the side entrance of theacademy, and the police Sergeants, refnforcedby four men who were guarding the door, madea flying wedge, and. taking the candidate. Mr.Dover and Uergt. Wright tightly by the arms,rushed them Inside.

WARNED BT THE TUMULT.The overflow folks in the bicycle academy

knew lie was coming because they had heardthe tumult following him along the street out-side John C. Colomau. who presided, jumpedfrom his seat and pointed to the door by whichCol. Roosevelt waa to enter. The people rose toa man. Then their hats rose above their headsand waved back and forth as they cheeredthree times and again three times, and yetagain. Col. Roosevelt ascended the platformsteps and they cheered again. The noise dieddown gradually and Mr. Coleman threw backhis bend as if about to say something. Henever said it.

A man with a voice like a siren whistle roseup at the back of the room and yelled:

Wow wow wow Teddy I"The cheers broke loose again and swept up

and down the hall. Mr. Coleman leaned outover the railing and waved both arms andyelled with his audience Then he turned toCol. Roosevelt und bowed and Introduced himto the uudlenco witli a gesture : at any rate, ifho said anything it wasn't audible in the

racket."I only wish." said Col. Roosevelt, when

things hud settled down so that the people inthe llrst few rows couldhcarhlui, "that I couldmake myself heard in tho back of the room.I wish my lungs were as good as your lungshave just proved themselves to be"

"You're all right, any way!" shouted a manoff on the side of the hall. Col. Rooseveltlooked toward him with a broad smile.

" I feel all right." he replied, quick as a flash,and the crowd yolled for joy.

Inasmuch as the audience was made up ofpeople who had tried to go to the meeting atDurland'.s Col. Roosevolt talked to themIn just about the way he had talkedon the other side of the street. After hehad finished he waited for Sergt. Wrightto make a short speech, and then, whilethe crowd repented the performances thathod greeted his entrance went out to his car-riage. The crowd waa waiting for hlin and owas his bodyguard of policemen. This timethey took him. not to his carriage, but to theBoulevard sidewalk.

THE PARADE REVIEWED.Here, while the crowd kept up a continuous

deafening dm behind and on either side of him.be reviewed thu Nineteenth Assembly districtHough Riders. Thev are 500 young men uni-formed in suits of the familiar pattern of Col.Roosevelt's regiment. The first thirty ofthem wero mounted. If their vocal and ges-tured greetings to the Colonel were not alto-gether soldierly there was nothing the matterwith their cordiality. When they had passedthe candidate entered his carriage and startedacross the park for the Central opera Housemeeting. The thousands in the afreets aboutDurland's did not cease their yelling until hiscarriage had disappeared down Sixtieth street.

A ROOSEVELT CYCLONE.A Roosevelt cyolono, with its centre at Sixty-sevent- h

street and Third avoiiue, swept overthe east aide of the city last night, and aftertearing big holes in the Democratic strong-holds, burst In a storm of enthusiasm at theCentral opera House, where thundering cheersgreeted every mention of the names of Roose-velt and McKlnley. At 7 o'clock fullyteu thouaand persona hud gathered on EastSixty-sevent- street, hoping to get into thoCentral Opera House, where Col. Rooseveltwas announced to speak. The crowd was good-nature-

and when a big portion of it got In-

side the opera house, filling the main hall, thegalleries and the stairways, the other portionwas satisfied to remain on the street, wheretwo overflow meetings were held on the blockbetween Second and Third avenues. Twobands assisted tha crowd on tho street towhoop things up tor the Republican ticket,while a third band of sixty musicians playedpatriotic airs during the intervals between thespeeches delivered In the Opera House.

When all of the people who could got Into thebig hall.John Proctor Clarke w as Introduced aathe presiding ofllcer. Mr. Clarke said that thefact should not be overlooked that this cam-paign was of great national importance, asthere was a United States Senatorshlp ntstake, logethei with thirty-fou- r seatsin Congress, which depended upon the ballotsof the citizens of New York State. "Rooseveltis only a soldier" waa the cry of many Demo-crats. Nevertheless Roosevelt hud twenty-on- e

years' experience in the affairs of the civilgovernment, the speaker said.

After reviewing Col. Roosevelt's rocord as As-sistant Secretary of the Navy Mr. Clarke calledattention to the fact that when Col. Rooseveltwas a Police Commissioner lie had lilted theNew York Police Department out of a ditch oftilth and ralapd it to an elevation of honestyand efficiency,

"On the 5th day of May he got his commis-sion." said the speaker, "and on the followingday in his heart he declared war against Spain.He discovered that great little man OeorgeDewey and sent him to the East to destroythe Spanish fleet, and his friend Dewey did whatCol Roosevelt said he would do. But the gallantman whom wo are to send to Albany as ourGovernor was not satisfied to remain quiet inWashington when the country needed hisservices. In spite of the pleadings ol the Presi-dent or the I'nili d States in spite of the plead-ings of six little children near his own

ill spite of the pleadings of his dearestfriends, t'cl Roozcveil acted. Ha said:

'I have urged other man to ty o thaIront--I cannot stay at hornet" And he went.By going he sat at rest the socialistic tauntthat only the poor were sent Into danger, andthat only the poor were willing to endnre hard-shlp- a

for the Lord that, gave them birth. Hawentout among the people.

" Prom Fifth avenue he collected dudes anddandles; from the oampus of Harvard and ofYale he gathered tho sturdy college athletes:from tha Far West he brought the cowboysand the scouts: he took American Indians,men of wealth and men of poverty intohis regiment, and what was the result?The men he selected showed by their braveryIn Cuba that Col. Roosevelt was n man of won-derful judgment, and a man who could betrusted by the American ncoplo In any positionIn which they placed him. And this year we'llplace him In the Governor's chair."

Crlcsof "We wllll" and Three cheers forGov. Roosevelt I" followed these remarks.

Congressman Qulgg was introduced as thenext speaker. Congressman Qulgg called at-

tention to Domocratlo attempts to plantcolonists. He said:

"There Is not a house of prostitution, not anIllegal resort of any kind which Is not crowdedwith fictitious persons who calculate on votingon election day. Already B.000 iiersons haveregistered In the downtown districts 0,000persons who have registered nnd beensworn In who have not lived In theBtate one yenr, nor In the county fourmonths, nor In the election district thirtydays. You don't And that sort of thingup here in the Republican part of town. Wedon't understand the art of packing lodg-ing houses. The Republican party couldn tdo It If It tried. But downtown tho Tam-many lenders are artists at tho business. Andthere are a few of them uptown, too, who un-derstand It well and delight in It."

The Hon. Archie E. Baxter was Introduced,and referred to the American flag laa the Re-publican flag, because, he explained, the Re-publicans were always found ready to defend it.

"OUT OF THE WOODS CAME A HERO."

"Out of the woods came a hero." said thespeaker, and just then Col. Boosevelt ap-peared. Men and women stood on benches,threw their hats In the air. and shouted andcheered until Col. Roosevelt got on tho stago andheld up both hnnds. Then for a minute tho crowdkept quiet. The Chairman took advantage ofthis minute by Introducing Sergt. Wright. Col.Rooeevelt, the Chairman said, needed no in-troduction. More cheering, wilder than before,followed this remark. Cok Boosevelt walked tothe speakers' table nnd attempted to say some-thing, but he had to wait for five minutes, dur-ing which time the crowd continued to cheer.Finally some one shouted "Give him a show 1"

"All right." replied the Colonel. "I'm con-tented with what you've been doing."

Three cheers for Teddy," shouted a voice,and the cheering continued for two minutesmore." Mr. Chairman and fellow citizens, men andwomen of New York." he said. I wiah it waspossible for me to meet face to face evory voterin this State, so I could discuss with him theissues of this campaign."

When the Colonel concluded his remarks hereceived another ovation. He was lifted from hisfeet by the crowd that surged about htm tograsp his hand and wish him luck. At mid-night the crowds at the overflow meetings Inthe street were still cheering for Boosevelt.

HERR RIDDER DISOWNED.There was a meeting of German-American- s

in Mannerohor Hall. 203 East Fifty-sixt- h street.at which Col. Roosevelt appeared unexpectedly,l.udwtg F. Thoma had called the meeting inopposition to Herr Bidder's efforts to turn overthe German-America- of this city to Tam- -

On the platform with Mr. Thoma wereaglstrate Charles A. Flammer, Karl P.

Hangel and Arthur Von Brlesen, who read theresolutions of the Roosevelt League of Inde-pendent Gorman- - Americans, which are printedelsewhere In The Sun. The meeting unani-mously Indorsed the resolutions, nnd joinedthe league In a body. A deputation was sent.up to the Central Opera House to invite Col.Roosevelt to attend the meeting, and at 10o'clock he came in.

Mr. Thoma burst into the room In the middleof a speech, waving his hat and yelling "

is here!" The speech stopped, andCol. Roosevelt, followed by Color-Sergea-

Wright, marched through an aisle of cheeringGerman-American- who were jumping up anadown and waving hats and coats.

ROOBEVELT'8 BIONinCANT UIIKETINO.As Col. Roosevelt mounted the stage Mr. Ton

Brlesen seized his hand and said: "I have readthe resolutions which will be indorsed by everydecent German-America- n in New York. Theyare the programme of honest citizenship, andthat you may understand this programme ofhonesty I present Col. Roosevelt. '

After the cheering died away Col. Booseveltspoke as follows:

"Mb. Chairman and Mt Fellow Ameri-cans: It waa not on my programme to comehere but wheu I heard you were tobe here and that Mr. Von Brlesen was to pre-side I decided to change my plans and come.For nothing could give me greater pleas-ure than the support of the men whosenames are signed to the resolutions youhave indorsed. I know Mr. Von Brlesenwell, and I know that no consideration what-ever would make him support me it he did notthink me a pretty square man. In the PoliceDepartment I waa thrown with him, and Itried as well as I could to help htm In his LegalAid Association, which, as you know.Is formed to secure justice for thosewho through ignoraance or poverty areunable to secure justice for themselves. Be-cause I found him willing to work for thosewho could In no way reward him. I felt I want-ed to help him. and if elected Governor criesof "You will be! There's no doubt about itl")the main reason I shall prize the office will bebecause of the ability it will give me to helpsuch men as he, and to make our social condi-tions even a little better.

"I don't believe In millenniums all at once.You have to be contented with going step bystep ; but each step must be forward, not back-ward, and we must be able to feel that as theresult of our efforts conditions are a little bitbetter, and something like fair play has beeusecured.

THEY ENOW HIS RECORD."I want to say one thing, a man's promises

are worth little unless past performance leadsto a belief that they win be kept. I am not go-ing to promise as much as some will, but what-ever I promise on the stump I will do off of it.Now as to my record:

" Three cheers for tho rough riders." yelled abig man, und the Colonel stopped while thecheers were given.

"Well, aa to my regiment." tho speaker re-sumed. "I felt pleased especially that It con-tained men from the North. South. East, andWest, men of means and men who had workedhard to earn their bread, but all united in onething, a determination to do their duty as

soldiers. Among the captains of mytroop at the Han Juan tight cheers were menfrom all tho varied streams that have gone tomake up America. A voice: "Howmanyoamefrom New York V" Well, 1 can't say. but I cantell you all were Americans. One Captain wasfrom Arizona, but I should be ashamed of anyNow Yorker who did not doff his hat to him.Bucky O'Neill, whose last words were: 'Whowouldn't risk his life to add a new star to theflag?' Pretty good fellow, if he was fromArizona. ICheers.l

" Another Captain. Muller of Troop E, a Ger-man cheers!, was one of the two who llrstplanted a guidon on San Juan hill. And of oureight men. the first killed, two were NewYorkers, Marcus Russell of Troy and HamiltonFish.

THE RULE OF BIGHT AND FAIR PLAT." In dealing with every man we paid attention

to only one thing. Stale, parentage, religionwere nothing: we only wanted to know hismanhood and hia worth as a man. WhatI plead for in the matter of citizenshipand government is. that the same rulebe applied, the rule of right, and thatall alike have fair play, no man allowed towrong another or to wrong the State: subjectto that, every man allowed to rule his life aa he

tit, with wldeat possible liberty for all.Cheers.l"I see hero some of my fellow soldiers, and I

would like to speak of a man here who sawsome of our fighting. There was no one closerto me except my orderly, who stuck to me andlooked after me liko a mother, by Georgel Imean Color Sergt. Wright here, who had hisflag shot through seven limes before heplanter) it. I iblnk closer to the Spanish linethan any other flag."

Color Sergeant Wright got up as the applausestopped. " The Colonel does me great honor,"he said. "I can only testify to somethingabout him. You wore not with us and don"know him as we do. In regard to hispromises there is not a rough riderwho would not wager his right arm thatthe Colonel will keep any promise he makes.When he had a thing to aay he said It. and weunderstood it. He told us If we would makeourselves as efficient as possible he would seeto it we got as near the frout as any one else.He never made a promiso ho did not keep, heshared our life, and If we wore hungry he was.too. All we askod was that be sena ua to thefront, and, by the Eternal, he did itl"

Rail So That Kveryhody CaaHelp In Rebuking Crwker's Attempt toIntimidate tho Supremo Court Bench.

Up to last evening about 10.000 applicationshad been made to the Secretary of the Com-

mittee of Arrangements for tickets to themeeting at Carnegie Hall to protestagainst Croker methods or any other methodsof tampering with the judiciary. It is nowcertain that the meeting will be one ofthe largest ever held In this city. Ofcourse, not anywhere near the number of per-sons who have applied for tickets can get Intothe hall, but tho probabilities are now that thacommittee will provide good speakers to ad-

dress overflow meetings In Fifty-sixt- h andFifty-sevent- h streets and in Seventh avenue.

According to the programme, John M. Bowers,Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements,will call the meeting to order. He will make ashort speech and then Introduce James C.

Carter as the presiding ofllcer. Mr. Carter'sspeech will be followed by speeches fromJoseph H. Choato, W. Bonrke Cockran. WilliamB. Horn blower and John B. Crosby. Mr. Crosbydelivered the oration at the funeral of HenryGeorge.

About 3,000 letters containing applicationsfor tickets were received by the committee yes-terday. The committee was somewhat sur-prised to And thst over 1,000 of these letterswere from persons living up the Btate. All ofthese contained statements similar to this one :

"The eyes of all the people of the Btate areturned to the fight you are making for an un-

trammelled judiciary. The effort of Croker toput upon the benoh men who will do his bid-ding must not only be defeated, but It willmake the election of Theodore Roosevelt assure as the coming of election day."

CALL MT aKRMAy-AMKniCAN- B

For a Roosevelt I.engns and for Votes toPat Down Croker, Assnllnnt of tha Courts.

This call hy eminent German-America- n citi-zens for the formation of a boosevelt Leaguehas been sent out from tho United Charitiesbuilding, Fouith avenue and Twenty-secon- d

street:In view of tho fact that tho German-America-

of New York are regarded by certainparties as natural adherents of Tammany Hall.a reproach they certainly do not deserve. It iaessential that they take energetic position inthe present election.

It is evident that our fellow oitlxens aresimply desirous of applying all their efforts to-ward the election of honest and able ofllcers.

Tho first question Is whether wedesire Theo-dore Roosevolt or Augustus Van Wyck for Gov-ernor.

Roosevelt is tho candidate of the people, andnot the candidate of any machine He wasnominated hy his partv because the peoplewithout regard to party demanded it .

van Wyck was nominatod by Richard Crokerand Immediately accepted by hla followers.The people knew nothing of Van Wyck. and hisname would never have lieen mentioned If thepeople had had the opportunity to nominate.

We therefore face two candidates, of whomtho one Is justly the favorite of the people, theother the humble servant of his lord andmaster. Roosevelt is logically tho favorite oftho people, because In every position which hasbeen Intrusted to him he haa done his full dutycourageously, aggressively and honestly. Likea bolt of lightning ho struck, us Police Com-missioner, the then existing corruption. Onlythose who wero Interested In or condoned theconditions of bribery of public officers as theyexistod prior to 18ii5 hate to this day tho fear-less destroyer of Illegitimate revenues. Thishatred is at prosent evldonced In immeasur-able terms of calumny and wilful distortion ofthe motives by which Mr. Roosevelt's ssiminia-tratlo- n

of the Police Department was influ-enced. Whoever can think and judge, how-ever, will honor Mr. Roosevelt, first because ofhis fearless procedure; above all. however, onaccount of the enemies he has made.

As Assistant Beoretary of the Navy Rooseveltagain was the right man In the right place.He surely Is entitled to a great deal of thecredit which our navy earned through Ita con-stant readiness for action, its magnificent dis-cipline nnd its able management, all of whichled to the most glorious results.

An ofllcer at the head of his regiment, it washe who In the critical moment insured success.If we had had no Roosevelt at Santiago and itwe had been defeated In action there, whoknows whether y we would be in a po-sition to consider terms of peace

It Is our privilege to acquire this able, fear-less, brave and noble man as Governor of theBtate of Now York. Shall we let this oppor-tunity go by? Surely not. Whoever meanswell for the State and tho city und takes hiscitizenship earnestly, will on Nov. 8 give hisvote to Theodore Roosevelt.

Tho efforts which Tammany Hall makes tobring In most brutal fashion the Judges of theState under its infamous control should cer-tainly suffice to open the eyes of those mis-guided German-America- who in formeryears espoused the cause of Tammany Hall.We are sure that every honest citizen will turnhis back disgustedly on any party that seeks tocorrupt our judiciary. Lnder these circum-stances it Is the pleasant duty of the under-signed to vote for Theodore Roosevelt and torJudges Daly. Cohen, and Taft and to do all Intholr power to Insure their election. All citi-zens who have similar views and desire toassist to insure this glorious result are re-quested to send their names and addresses totho Secretary of the Roosevelt League of Inde-pendent German-American- s. 105 East Twenty-secon- d

OOXK OVER TO ROOHBVr.T.T.

Former Member of the Bhepard DemocracyKxplalas Ills Conversion.

John A. Taylor, an independent in politicsand formerly u supporter of the Bhepard De-

mocracy in Brooklyn, is out for Col. Rooseveltfor Governor, and at his law offices. Ill Broad-way, yesterday, he gave his reasons to a Bunreportei.

"I shall vote for Theodore Roosevelt." hesaid, "aud I sec no reason why any Indepen-dent who Is free from especial party affiliationsahould not do so. The effacement of tho

Bhepard Democracy in Brooklyn hasfurnished an opportunity for such members ofthat party as were ambitious for enrollmentto take their places under the regular partybanner, with all that that implies. Others aronow left to choose from the whole ticket thosecandidates the election of whom they individ-ually think would best conserve the public In-

terests."The choice In the present campaign is lim-

ited to two strictly party candidates, and, asidefrom the personality of the candidates them-selves, resolves Itself Into a question of whichof the two political parties can this year bemost safely trusted with the administration ofour Stute uffairs. From this proposition theextension of thepowerof Taiumnny Hall overthe entire State seems to me to be fraught withespecial danger. The malignant absolutism ofthis power is most clearly manifested In itsflagrant attempt to dominate the judiciary.The donial to Justice Daly of a renominationfor the especially vicious reason of a refusal onthe part of that honorable man to make a placefont Tammany henchman brings Into bold re-lief what has lone been suspected to be thelatent dealgn of Tammany to Invade the oneremaining stronghold of the citizen at largethat Is. the judiciary.

" I see no danger at all commensurate to thisInvolved in the election of such a man aa Theo-dore Roosevelt, who represents everything thatIs most desirable in public-spirite- d citizenship.Questions of tariff, canal frauds, excise legis-lation, lose all significance when compared withaudi a Invasion of the fountainsof justice as Tammany has dared to make."

WLATBV8H DEMOCRATS ASGKT.

Determined to Resent tho Turning Down ofHenry Rasterbnrg by the Mnchlne.

The Willoughby street machine In BrooklynIs confronted with a serious split among theDemocratic forces in tho Flatbush distrlot.The friends of former Supervisor Henry g.

the most popular Democrat in thedistrict, are Indignant that he should havebeen deposed from the leadership at thodictation of Sheriff Creamer and PatrickMcCanna Installed In hia place. i heyhave refused to accept McCanna as leader.and Wednesday night signalized their revoltby organizing the Henry Hestorberg Associa-tion. The McLaughlin managers are consider-ably worried over the matter, as tha rumpus lasure to cut down the Flatbush vote tor VanWyck. Many of Mr. Hesterherg's supporterssay they will got square with the central bossesby remaining away from the polls this year,while some of them declare that they will votethe Republican ticket clean through.

A Sound-Mone- y Congress in Faril.The present leader of the Democrats in the

House of Representatives is Joseph W. Baileyof Texas, an extreme free-silv- man. and al-

CROKER TAKING ALARM.

EXHORTS DISTRICT LEADERS TO BETOVT THE TAMMANY TOTE.

Tents a Little More of His Huge Dlsdala onJnstlre Daly and the Bar Association,and I.ngs In the "Rich Corporation"Again His Own HenrtBleedsfor tho Poor

The Executive Committee of Tammany Hall.Daniel F. McMahon. Chairman, held a meetingat the Wigwam yesterday afternoon to talkover plans for Increasing the registration ofDemocrats y and Saturday. Mr. CrokerIs a member of this committee, and he waapresent and made a speech. The speech wasvery largely devoted to instructions to the dis-trict, leaders.

Theso Instructions, however, embodiedanother slap at the Bar Association, a left-han- d

attack upon the character of Justice Daly,and an attempt to belittle his ability aa aJudge and a lawyer. Mr. Croker said :

" The attention of the members of the com-mittee is called to the neeosslty of a very activecanvass in tholr respective districts. The peo- -

aro determined upon a change of admlnls-ratlo- n,

and we must not permit, through anyneglect of ours, that they should be deoelvedor distracted regarding the true issues of thiscampaign.

"For Instance, evening the BarAssociation, which, while it Includes In itsmembership some reputable lawyers and thor-ough Democrats, is at the same time controlledand steered by a Republican Mugwump-aristocrat- ic

coterie whoso past records and partisanservice in behalf of the enemies of the people Iswell understood, holds a Republican meetingto urge the defeat of our candidates for thoSupreme Court. I need not tell you that themanagers of this meeting care nothing aboutJudge Daly, except so far aa be may be usedto serve the corporate interests which theyrepresent and bo tho medium through whichthese men may seek to raise a false Issue sothat the attention of the people may be dis-tracted from the misdeeds of the party and theinterests which these men have always shownthemselves willing to defend. This Is shownby the coupling together of the names of Jus-tices Daly and Cohen, and claiming that be-cause of their experience they should be re-tained upon the bench, while the fact Is thatone of these Justices has had an experience ofonly nine months.

"That the meeting evening Is apart of a plan to try to oreate a false issue isproven by the fact that last year, when JusticeAndrews was not renominated bythlsorganiza-tlon- .

there was no talk of an attempt on the partof this organization to control the judiciary.Nor was there any organization to express anyIndignation over the action of the people whoinsist upon the right to retain or vhange theirjudicial officers, as to them at the time seemsmost proper. No lawyer will pretend that JudgeDaly was selected for his present position onaccount of conspicuous legal ability. Nor can itbe denied that ut the time when he was electedJudge he could neither have been nominatednor elected Judge without the friendship andpatronngo and support of William M. Tweod.

" It was a question fairly submitted to ourconvention as to whether hla services upon thebench had been such as to justify lengtheninghis term from twenty-olg- to forty-tw- o years,and when the convention decided that fromamong tho members of the bar there could beselected those who had given bettor satisfac-tion to the nubllo and who had greater claimsupon the Democratic party for services ren-dered in behalf of the people, there was no ideaIn any man's mind that a Judge should be se-lected for any other reason than to fairly in-terpret the law and determine such legal ques-tions as came before him without reference tothe p jslt ion or politics of the people interestedIn bis decision." The Supreme Court bench of this depart-ment is respected throughout the Btate andcountry for Its fairness, its honesty and its abil-ity. And in that connection it should be re-membered that but with a single exceptioneveryone of the twenty-tw- o Judges of thatcourt were nominated by this organization andelected to their present positions by the effortsof its members. And I now challenge anyJudge ever elected through tho efforts ofthis organization to furnish a single in-stance where he has been interferedwith in the impartial discbarge of hisduties by even a single suggestion from me.But you will always And that every time thisorganization names a thoroughgoing Demo-crat, free from every suggestion of corporatecontrol, these men, who are the attorneys for'trusts' and other combinations of capital, pre-tend to regard it aa an attack upon thaIntegrity of the judicial system. My ex-perience has been that at every conventionwhere Judges were to be named, the menasked for. both by corporations and theirattorneys, as candidates tor judicial positions,were men whose training and records justifiedsnch corporations In regarding tbem as theirespecial friends. You are urged to present thismatter In just this way to the people of yourseveral districts, and then let the Bar Associa-tion bold all the Republican meetings which Itmay please Its management to call, and weneed not fear the result.

"You ahould pay particular attention to theregistry of voters on Friday and Saturday ofthis week. See to It that every Democrat andpatriotic citizen is registered, so that he mayhave an opportunity to vote. You need spendno time at those headquarters, or in your dis-trict headquarters, upon these two days. Goout In your seveial districts and see that themsu In charge of your election districts are atwork. Inspire them with your own activity,and by the attention which you pay to thismost important matter show them that youexpect and will insist upon equal devotionupon their part.

"This is a Democratic year, and victory isalready assured to our candidates. This as-surance in no wise excuses us from the fullperformance of our duty. We must work ashard as ever we have done, and all the peoplewill be repaid In the change of Governmentwhich honesty and justice and clean politicsurgently demand."

Arrangements for having lawyers ready toappear for Tammany men arreated for Illegalregistration were announced.
