Special to THE MORNING CALL

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.-Cleveland's protest
against Murphy in connection with the
United States Senatorship is looked upon
as declaration of war on his part. and the
Deiief is general that ii will result in a
rupture OF the Democratic party of this
State. 1t is plain that Cleveland knows
what he Is doing, and has carefully esti-
mated the cost of Offering battle to the Hill
faction.
Said one Hill Tammany man to-day, "If
Cleveland forces an issue with us on this
question OF electing Senator, which is none
of his affair whatever, he will sow crop of
diseord and dissension from which the Dem
ocratic party in this State will not recover
in twenty years.
Cleveland mistakes TIE temper OF the
stalwart Democracy of the State IL he
thinks he can drive it TO support any candi-
date whom he may name for Senator"
In an interview at Albany, Hill and
Murphy positively declined to say
one word about Cleveland's utterances.
Governor Flower would not say
word, but yesterday he said
that Cleveland's friends ought to consider
that Murphy has done great deal for him.
Early in the month Flower invited Cleve-
land to attend reception which he Is TO
Dental electors of the State aud
the members of the Legislature, but
Cleveland declined to visit ths executive
mansion Oh that occasion although he as
signs no reason for denying himself the
pleasure. 1t is evident that he does not In
tend to be drawn into any entangling alIi-
ances with the Hill Democracy, or into any
semblance thereof.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-Cleveland's public
declaration, as given in the World, against
Murphy for Senator causes great excite
ment among the Democrats. The anti
snapDers and mugwumps are delighted,
but the Tammany men are indignant when
they say anything and declare they will
stick to Mhrphy. Boss Croker refused to
be interviewed and others of the Tammany
leaders are entirely n-committal as to
the course to be pursued. II is reported
to-day that if Tammany finds it "advisa-
bic" to drop Murphy, Bourxe Cochran will
be selected

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 2S.-At 2 o'clock this

waukee-street Railroad Company and a
tremendous explosion followed. In mo-
ment the interior Of the building was

A Plan~te Send Bayard to the Senate

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S.-The Star this
evening says: Politicians here do not be-
lleve that Murphy of New York can be
defeated for the United States Senate, and
they do believe that Cleveland appreciates
that fact. At:present Cleveland has no
personal representative in the Senate who

as leader. Should hesucceed in the election

would not improve the situation greatly. as

Baron Reinach Died From Natural


PARIS, Dec. 2S.-The official report of DR..
Brouardel, who had charge of the autopsy
on the body of Baron Reinaeh, was made
public TO day. 1t declares that an analysis
OF the stomach reveals not the slightest
trace OF poison. The conclusion reached is
that death was due to natural causes. The
report is regarded with suspicion from GER
tain quarters.
In fact. many persons openly express the
belief that Baron de Reinach was mur-
dered, and the official report to the contrary
does not shake their belief. Against all
these. however, stands the reputation of Dr.
Brouarde Those who know him declare
that nothing the Government could offer
him would induce him to attach his name TO
false report, and if such report was
secretly decided upon he would not in any
way be party TO it. The report is eagerly
discussed, and is taken to end the question
as to the Baron's death. De Reinach's
family, 1t is supposed, will accept the report
as final. as it removes from the Baron the
stigma of suicide
