Oct. s. 1901
The City OF New York wins by an houl
to the minute. Her time for the passage
from Queenstown to Sandy Hook was five
days, twenty y-one hours, nineteen minutes
The Teutonic was five days, twenty-five
hours, nineteen minutes. The New York
has now won three out Of the five races
She has beaten the Teutonic on both Of the
eastward passages, while the two previous
| westward trips were won by the White stal
line.
THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH.
The Duke and Duchess OF Marlborough
who arrived on her. were accompanied 10y a
valet and maid. The Duke is an lnsignlil
cant looking man, with light, pale COM
plexion, Il small moustache, and an insigni-
ficant goatee. He was completely enyel'
oped in loud checked ulster. and wore a
seedy looking derby hat. The Duchess was
I looking remarkably bright and youthful.
She said that she had come "hOme" on a
short visit of business and pleasure. The
general impression seems TO be that the
Duchess has come to raise some more money
for her little Duke.
JOSEPH PULITZER.
Joseph Pulitzer looked thin. and while
his health is better he is still very weak.
The reports that he has entirely lost his
eyesight have been exaggerated. lie can
see but little one eye being useless and the
other affected. but he can still see.
GENERAL JOUBERT.
General Joubert is below the medium
height, quite stout, and has a sharp hazel
eye, ruddy complexion, and long gray
beard. 81 am here for "A pleasure trip
only, he said, "and will remain in the
United States about six months. When |
left Transvaal everything was quiet under
the new government. FL do not anticipate
there will be any trouble in the near fu-
ture."
FIGHTING AGAINST MORMONISM.
Three thousand one hundred and forty
nine immigrants were landed to-day.
General O'Berne. the Superintendent of
Immigration at the Barge Office. does not
place any great amount of confidence in
the surrender of polygamy by the Mormon
Church, and will continue his fight against
bringing in through the immigration Bu-
reau girl converts.
JOSEPH JoNAssON ACQUITTED.
Myer Jonasson, the Broadway cloak
manufacturer, received cablegram from
Berlin to-day from his son Joseph, stating
the latter had been acquitted of the charge
made against him by three drunken stu
dents with whom he had quarrelled, Tor an
insult to him because he was an American.
They accused him of saying: 81 sneeze at
your Emperor" a political crime for
which the extreme penalty is ten years I'M
prisOnment in German fortress. Mr. DO
nassOn gave bonds for his temperance,
4 "a rot H.
fathers advice. to stand trial even at the
risk Of the extreme penalty of the law.
LOCAL POLnICs.1
The horizon OF municipal politics has
cleared up wonderfully, and there is now
fair opportunity for estimating the probable
results OF the approaching nominating con-
yentions. The present plan is for the feo-
ple's League to make its formal nomna-
lions tomorrow. and for the Republicans to
ratify TEEN at its adjourned meeting on
Friday, on which evening the County Dem
Gratis will take similar action. Very little
is being said by the Tammany leaders
regarding their own intentions. Ii is gen
orally believed, however, that a satisfactory
candidate on the coalition ticket will be
followed by the withdrawal OF Mr.. Grants
name from the Mayoralty canvass, and the
nomination of a frst-class candidate. And
for this all good citizens should be thankful
The result Of such Il nomination would be
the election of proper man for mayor
whichever faction were to win. Lawyer
George l.. Riyes, of this city, Assistant
Secretary Of State under Secretary Bayard
and the son Of Francis ;. Riyes, Of the
famous Virginia family, had been named iB
connection with the anti-rammany nOmi.
nation for mayor.
THE NEW TARIFF BEING FELT.
The full effect Of the new Mckinley
tariff tax on many Of the necessaries and
lesser luxuries Of life is becoming more ap-
parent. The prices of dry goods may re-
main stationary for few months on ac-
count of the large stock of goods taken in
by dealers in anticipation OF the enactment
of the law; but the advance of prices on
perishable commodities will be sudden and
sharp. The exact pr0portOnate rate can
not at present be obtained, as no one under
the sun knows precisely what the provisions
OF the new law mean. One OF the points OF
the new regime will be that the sale OF the
poor mans One-cent orange Will be prOhib-
ited so that the dear fruit may be ''prO-
tected." He will also have 10 pay two
cents a tin more on his canned meats, be-
cause the Western tin mines must be de-
yeloped; but he will be protected from an
oyer-indulgence in cigars by the advance OF
five cents on cheap goods. All these will

HEBREW TRADES UNION.
The representatives Of Hebrew trades in
Clarendon Hall have formed permanent
organization which will be known as "Ihe
Hebrew Federation OF Labor Of the United
States and Canada" Ii has been decided
To adhere to the platform of the SOcialistic
Labor party, and committee has been ap-
pointed who will push the agitation. They
have fund to provide for travelling eX-
penses and for printing circulars for dis
tributiOn. A convention will be held in
this city next March.
GENERAL AND Personal,

ton Oil Company expects 10 make large
amount Of money this coming year, because

steady in price and lard is higher. The
company consumes 100000 tons of seed per
year, and the reduction in price Of such will
alone make profit of 81 100000.
