The stock was large. and OF the best quail

ties with Secretary Lamont.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2-Mr. Richard Croker
spent the day In Washington. and his presence
at the Senate end OF the Capitol during the
afternoon created much excitement and put
In circulation as many remarkable stories as
were brought forth by his casual visit TO the
room Of Speaker Crisp one day last week.
Then IL was said that the Tammany chieftain
had come to Washington to order the Demo-
cratic ConRressmen from New York state to
oppose the Income tax proposition. To-day II
was eaid that he came to work against
the confirmation OF the nomination OF
Mr.. Peckhsm to be n Justice OF the
Supreme Court Both reports were Inaccu-
rate. Mr.. Croker came to Washington last
week to see President Cleveland. and his visit
to the Capitol was a mere incident without
Significance. Ho came to Washington to-day
with his family on their way South to New
Orleans. and left town tonight. He lunched
In the room Of the Senate Committee on Com
merce with Senator Ransom. its Chairman.
and Senators Murphy and German.
When It was known that these leaders were
closeted in the committee room. all sorts Of

during the luncheon the subject Of c9nveTsa-

the discussion II was developed that he is
thoroughly informed as to tho pedigree OF
every famous race horse in the United states
for the past thirty years. His horse stories
surprised and entertained his hearers. and he
was accused by Mr. German of having been q
contributor to Uncle Jerry Rusk's famous
horse book.
Politics we're also informally discussed at
the luncheon, and Mr.. Croker did not hesi-
tate TO say that he is opposed to the in.
come tax, and sincerely hopes that 1t will
be defeated in the senate; lie is much pleased
at the action OF q majority OF the New York
because the income tax was included In It. AMI
does not think they violated any Democratic
pledges In so doing. Mr.. Croker has his own
views also on tho leckham case but did not
Indicate to-day that he was particularly inter-
ested in IL.
Tonight Mr.. Croker and Senator Murphy
dined with secretary Lamont. and a long,
earnest discussion over political affairs In the
State OF New York took place. Afterward
however. MIR. Croker said that his visit had no
political Significance whatever, and that he
dned with Secretary Lamont only because no
