THE LEXOW INVESTIGATION.
important Questions to he Settled
when the Committee Meets.


When the Committee Meets.
When the LeXow committee resumes its
investigation of New Iork's city govern
ment two important questions are to be
settled says a New York letter. One is
whether Father Ducey will cease his at
tendance upon the meetings, as he has been
commanded to do by Archbishop Corrigan,
under partial threat, and whether the
management of the police department by
Superintendent Thomas Byrnes is to be the
subject of senatorial inquiry. Both of these
are matters of no little Importance. Father
Ducey is a priest of great popularity. His
friends say he will resume his old place in
the court room when the committee recon-
venes, having done nothing to warrant the
command from Archbishop Corrigan. And
yet 1t Is certain that if Father Ducey con-
tinues to attend the meetings, after receiv-
ing a command from the archbishop he will
be called to Rome.
1t is thought that Superintendent Byrnes
may be put on the griddle before the COM
mittee proceeds much further. Hints have
been thrown out from time to time by the
Rev. DR.. Parkhurst that Byrnes should be
asked questions, and that the public should
know whether or not the head of the most
corrupt police department in the country is
innocent of the knowledge of wrong on the
part of his subordinatcs 1t is believed
that Byrnes is man of considerable
believe that the superintendent should be
called. The spectacle of the head of the
uniformed police of Gotham telling the Sem
ate committee how he has accumulated
wealth would at least be interesting, ana
that is what is promised by the committee

Dinuers for the Poor.

The committee in charge Of the arrange
ments for the Thanksgiving distribution of
the Central Union Mission will be In ses-
sion all day tomorrow at the mission build
ing, on Louisiana avenue near It'll street,
for the purpose of receiving supplies and
money. 1t is proposed to send out the ma
terial for the Thanksgiving dinner to the
families of the poor on the list Of the COM
Hlittec on Wednesday. and for this reason
the preliminary work of preparing the
baskets viii mainly be done tomorrow. 1t
is the desire OF the committee that their
friends and the chaTitably inclined who
wish to aid the mission in this praise
worthy work will send in their contribu-
tons tomorrow. 1t is contemplated that at
least IG0 families will be supplied with a
Thanksgiving dinner through the medium
of the mission. In addition a lunch will be
served at the rooms of the mission during
Thanksgiving day. A postal card sent to
the rooms of the mission giving the ad-
dress Of those who have contributions will
enable the committee to send for them, in
case the donors have no other means of
forwarding their gifts.

AMERICAS CUP RACE.
No Differences of Opinion Between
Dunraven and Watson.

No Differences of Opinion Between
Dunraven and Watson.
LONDON, November 26.-Up to today
Lord Dunraven had not received the reply
Of the Americas cup committee to his
propositions in regard to the next inter-
national yacht race.
There is no foundation for the story of
, differences of opinion between Lord Dun
raven and Mr.. Watson as to whether the
cup challenger shall be keel or centerboard.
Both these gentlemen are working in har-
mcny When Lord Dunraven received Mr..
H. Maitland Kersey's telegram last week
outlining the committees decision he in
formed Mr. Watson of it's contents in q
letter which conveyed the impression that
all obstacles to the challenge We're removed
and asking him to bring the final plans for
the new cup challenger to conference
which will be held this week.
The reply of the Americas cup commit
tee to Lord Dunravens proposals has given
satisfaction to the parties interested and
the Marblehead course will not be insisted
upon.
A formal challenge for the Americas
cup will now be sent, and the building of
Lord Dunraven's new yacht will be pro-
ceeded with Immediately.
Owing to the cup committees concession
in regard to the name of the challenger, Il
boat which W. Fife Is building for Mr..
Walker may be the cup challenger.
Cribs concession practically allows a
yacht other than the one named in the
challenge to race for the cup. This will al
low England to send her best yacht)
There is no doubt that Lord Dunraven s
new yacht will be a keel boat. Lord Dun
raven this afternoon telegraphed a strong
denial that there has ever been any differ
ence of opinion between the syndicate
which he represents and Mr.. George L..
Watson

A MAGNIFICENT SCENE

ST. PETERSBURG, November 26.-Be-
fore o'clock this morning large crowds
of people were assembled on the Newsky
Prospect in order to secure places along
the route Of the royal wedding procession.
From the Anitchkoff Palace to the Winter
Palace the whole avenue was lined with
troops.
The morning broke dull and cold, but
dry. Before long the whole front Of the
route was black with people. There was
not an inch Of space to spare along the
Grand Morskaija Prospect and on the
square in front of the Winter Palace.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press secured a position midway between
the two palaces, from which he was able
to obtain a good view of the procession
behind windows which. as usual in winter,
were fastened in an air-tight manner. From
this point of vantage could be seen thou

ATcHIsoN, May 16.-The outbreak OF

here and the health board does not seem
to know how to control it. There are
now 25 cases in the smallpox hospital
and a great many more people have been
exposed
A new case has been discovered unex-

on South Fourth street. his 10 year old
son Claude being taken with the disease
| The boy had the disease eight days be-
fore it was discovered that he had it, and
there was SO much talk over the matter
that the board of health felt called on to
adopt resolutions for publication in
which they saysa great many people
have been exposed through the Rems-
berg case and the disease is likely to
spread further. Today it is reported that
the wife of Charles Johnson, who resides
near Daily, is suffering with smallpox
contracted in Atchison. Mrs. Edna Estes,
a white woman, is the only death report
ed so far this week.
The disease, it is believed, was first
brought to Atchison March 10Th by a
colored girl a daughter of dock" Jones,
who had been living in Chicago. Some
how, the family pulled through without
the discovery being made that they had
smallpox. From them it spread to the
neigh bors, white and black.
