A STARTLING RuMoR.
A Break Said to Have Occurred Between
senator Hill and Tammany.

Break Said to Have Occurred Between
Senator Hill and Tammany.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Men are whis-
pering a startling rumor to each other in
Albany tonight. ss Boss Croker and
Senator Hill are out'' says the Herald's
Albany correspondent. The caustic crit
icism made by the Tammany leaders on
the senator's presence and action during
the meeting of the electoral college is not
forgotten.
1t is asserted that Croker repeated the
condemnation to several political friends
at the governors reception and said
bluntly that Hill had done the Democratic
party deadly injury. However, this
may be, it is certain that the machine
magnates have had serious difficulty
among themselves. How far the resent
ment of Croker towards Senator Hill is
likely to go no one cares to predict, but
it is taken for granted by the politicians
that this big combination is broken by
the senator.
They also believe Murphy will refuse to
be made tool of by his associates in the
United States Senate. 1t is said New
York intends to honestly support Cleve-
land and that policy of pacification will
be adopted toward him from now on by
Tammany. 1t looks very much as if the
future action of Murphy is understood
and in any further opposition to Cleve-
land the senior senator from New York
would get but little backing.

An Inquiry Into the working of the
Library of the State Department.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ii. = The House
committee on library began inquiry this
morning under which it will report
whether or not the charges against Henry
Cabot Lodge and Henry Adams relative to
their alleged monopoly of documents in

be investigated. General II. Y. Boynton
recounted how. as representative OF VIII
liam Henry Smith, general manager OF
the Associated Press, he tried through
various administrations to have certain
state papers copied, but without success.
This attempt General Boynton said began
in the Garfield administration and had
extended through those OF Arthur, CIeve
land, and Harrison and every attempt he
had made was met with failure. During
ell this time he had the hearty co-opera
ton OF the secretary of state and assistants
under all administrations and that of the
chief clerk and other officials, but when
effort was baked and that despite the feet
that he was armed with written and YER
bal orders of superior officers.
Mr.. Smith was writing q history of
Governor 81. Clair and the northwestern
territory and a criticism on Sparks life
OF Washington, and wanted the papers
copied for use in these works. General
Bovnton was unable to do anything bv
reason Of distractions put in his way bv
Dwight Boynton told the committee
that he discovered that Lodge and Adams
were having not only access to those
narers, but that they were being copied
