NEW YORK, July 3.-Rev. Madison

said: 1.-The pardon of the surviving
participants OF the Chicago massacre,
in compliance with an understanding
entered into previous TO election, show
to what bargaining politicians viii

"IIe shows himself not only for.
eigner by birth, but continental Euro

is not fit for American citizenship and
he rallies as widely at the adminis;ra.
ton Of the law as Herr Most.
The governor has won the applause
of the dangerously un-Amcrican eie'
ment in our country, but made his
name a stencil i'm the nostrils OF every
American citizen. Altgeld no more
represents the sentiments of Tn, Ger
mans of the better class than Judas

There seems To be no record that the
governor is citizen. The anarchists

to buy the nomination for governor
and the combined foreign vote of tn,
foreign city of Chicago elected him"

An eyewitness OF the running down
OF the Victoria declares that the cause
OF the disaster was the impossibilty OF
turning sixteen points when the ships
were only six cable lengths apart This
statement implies that Vice Admiral
Tryon, in ordering the maneuver known

was responsible for the accident

were unable TO get a safe distance from

caught in the vortex caused by the
fou ndering ship, and their strength and
ability as swimmers availed them noth-

them down.
