John L. Looks Upon David b. as a

Champion John L. Sullivan ate breakfast
at o'clock this afternoon, and The Star
reporter watched him do 1t. He ate rare
beefsteak. fish. boiled eggs, celery and
watercress and drank copious draughts of
coffee. He talk ed freely with The Star man.
Mr.. Sullivan. Of course, has a great deal of
Drawn, but he has brain, too. Mr.. Sulli-
van was fluent on the political situation in
New York. He has unbounded admiration
for David Bennett Hill, and a good deal of
confidence In the ability Of Tammany Hall
to dictate the result of the coming contest.
IF Hill were to accept the nomination he
could win hands down. If Gaynor wins the
plum he will me showed under" This Is the
way Mr.. Sullivan put It,
Mr.. Hill is the smartest politician Of the
period. He Is worthy Of the confidence
which the people of the empire state repose
In him. He does not smoke and refuses to
drink intoxicants. He is a statesman and a
business man. If he wanted the nomina-
ton he could get 1t without a rustic. The
political element of the state will be against
Gaynor, and, in New York, this Is the ele-
ment which WINS
Mr.. Sullivan grew enthusiastic and sound
ed the praises of the empire Senator with
both lurgs. There was no question, he
said, as to the ability of Tammany to con-
troll the city elections, the LexOw alleged

The position of the democracy on the
tariff. as represented by the Wilson bill, is
not altogether cor sistent,' remarked Mr..
Sullivan. Much of the promised reduction
was not made. The sugar scandal was a
disgrace to popular government, and the
Impeachment Of the bribed Senators ought
to be the fruit of their crime.
ITO large extent said Mr.. Sullivan,
Il am a free trader. l am opposed to the
system of subsidzing enterprises which are
not naturally profitable by sweating con-
sumers on enhanced prices. 1t is a faulty
policy. Commerce is not war People trade
not for pleasure, but foN profit"

THE ARCHITECTS OFFICE.
Mr.. O'Itourl<e is Interviewed mt Hi
Home I'm Newark.

HO"c IN newark.
The late supervising architect Of the
treasury, Mr.. O'Rourke. was interviewed
yesterday at his home in Newark, NJ j., by
. reporter of the New York Tribune. In
connection with the quoted remarks of Mr.
ORcprke the following appeared:
There are ten divisions in the supervising
architects office. A man named Fleming,
Kertuckian. is chief of the law division,
at a salary of $500 year. Mr.. O'Rourke
suggested to Secretary Carlisle, in writing,
that this office be abolished. in the interest
OF economy. because II was unnecessary,
for when a question of law came up 1t was
to the solicitor of the treasury that the
bureau went for information. Fleming and
Logan Carlisle, the Secretary's son, are
frie IDS. Charles E. Kemper, chief clerk 10
Mr.. O'Rourke, also is said to be a close
frie1 Id OF the Carlisle family, for he and
Logan Carlisle were college chums. Mr.
O'Rourle discovered that Fleming and
Kemper, presuming on their claims of in
timacy with the Carlisles. proposed to run
their divisions Independently of his SUPER
vision. He let them know he was the re-
sponsible head of the bureau. These two
men, Mr. ORourke charged, conspired to
make trouble in the bureau. Logan Car
Isle. as chief clerk to his father, has charge
of appointments and dsmssals.
Fleming and kemper would run to him
ant to the supervising architect, is a law
yer. and is totally ignorant of architecture
or building. 1t would seem that the assist
ant should be capable of filling the position
Of his chief for he acts as supervising
architect during that officials absence.
The trouble came to a head over bid for
q contract for public building in Kansas
City that involved an expenditure of be-
tween S2OO.OO0 and $5U0,0OO. There were
ripeteen bids and one of the bids not
signed. II was, therefore. architects say,
dummy" bid. but the bidder d friend
of the chief clerk. and the latter said the
bid should be scheduled. Mr.. O'Rourke re-
fused to schedule il. In other ways, Mr..
O'Rourke said. he was hampered In the per-
formance of his duties. He had eight ex-
cellert practical inspectors, but only one of
them. AdOiph Cluss, who had been seven
teen years in the business. was a scientific
man. Cluss was dismis ssed without cause.
Then the chief of the engineering division,

President Dias Favorable to Gen.
Exeta's Plans-It Would Pre-
vent Revolutions.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 25.-The
interest of President Diaz of Mexico in
Ezeta is said to be due to Mexico's desire
for the forma tion of a general republic of
Central American countries. believing that
with 1t would end revolutions. which injure
commerce and retard development.
"Ezeta intends to get aid from the Mexi-
cans to regain his prestige in San Saliva
DOR" said Col. Cienfuegos who talked
about the matter today. Most of his old
soldiers will turn to his standard. for he is
confident that he can overthrow his enc
mics. A revolution In San Salvador is al
ways welcome. and the people will fight for
Ezeta when they get the chance. But the
general will go well prepared, and when he
enters San Salvador he will be at the head
Of the troops, enough to force his way as
he desires.
"Yes. President Diaz OF Mexico will sup
port Ezeta as far as he can. and there is no
doubt that all the circumstances are in hts
favor. The peopl. In Mexico thoroughly
understand the San Salvador affairs, and
they believe In the cause of Ezeta.
IF the general succeeds in this campaign
(Which he proposes to carry on vigorously
Immediately after his arrival in Mexico),
the result will probably be the organizat ton

American states. That plan has been under
construction for q long time, and all the
governments except Guatemala are favor
able to 1t. Unfortunately, Guatemala
stands In the way. geographically as well
as politically. and nothing can be done
without her consent. Ezeta however is
conhdent that even Guatemala will accede

an imperial edict has been issued by the
Emperor of China, expressing his iegret at
the death Of the general who was killed
while leading a charge at the battle Of

Russia in the East.
LONDON, September 25.-The European
bourses are affected by the news of the
cars health, as he is now recognized as
one of the strongest supporters of peace.
and 1t Is feared that in the event Of his
death his successor would seize the op-
porturity to secure naval ports on the
Pacific and enlarge his boundaries in the
direction of the Pamirs at the expense of
China, either of which steps, it is believed,
would easily precipitate war.
On the other hand a dispatch from St.
Petersburg today denies the report that
Russian troops have gone to Corea, or that
Russia has the intention of doing anything
calculated to disturb the peace Of Europe.

THE PUBLIC LANDS.
ORcials Expect to Survey Large Areas
in the New States.

Omcials Expect to Survey Large Areas
i'm the New States.
The officials Of the general land office ex-
pect that beginning next year there will be
large areas Of lands surveyed in the states
which were last admitted to the Union. In
this years sundry civil appropriation bill
provision Is made for the survey of public
lands, so that the grants made to the states
of North and South Dakota, Montana,
Washington, Idaho and Wyoming at the
time of their admission into the Union could
be satisfied. Heretofore, whenever lands
were surveyed in these states, 1t was found
that the settlers had already occupied or
would occupy the most valuable tracts be-
fore the state made it's selections. The OFF,
GERS of the various states did not care to
select the remainder for the state institu-
ticns. and as the selections were not made
before the surveys the result has been that
of the grants of many thousands of acres
but little have been taken by states.
Governors May Apply.
Under the present law the governor Of any
Of the states named may apply for the sur
vey of lands remaining unsurveyed. The
commissioner Of the general land office will
then notify the surveyor general of the state
to survey the land. and the townships
which have been designated by the governor
are withheld from settlement for sixty days
after the plats have been filed in the local
land office. The state during that time may
select such of the lands as it's officers desire.
Another provision of the existing law per-
mits the governors Of the several states to
advance money for the survey of the lands,
which is to be reimbursed by the general
government. AS the governors are not en-
powered to advance the money until after
the appropriations are made by the various
state legislatures, it is probable that moth
ing will be done until next spring. Then, If
the money is appropriated, the governors
may begin operations. and, if they desire,
the grants may be ratified at once. There
were about JU0,cOO acres granted to each
state for the benefit of it's educational, penal
and charitable institutions. AS the lands
have not been available for selection by the
state there has been no revenue derived
from this sale for these institutions.
Under the Homestead Law.
Probably while lands are plentiful under
the homestead law settlers will generally
seek them in the usual way instead of by
purchase from, the state. As the state be-
comes more populous, however, and valua-
bic agricultural and timber lands become
scarce the state lands, selected under the
favorable auspices of the new law, will be
sought for, and the institutions they are de-
signed to assist will be benefited accord
iDgly. Utah Is also to receive the benefits
Of the law when she becomes a state.
