COMBINING AGAINST TAMMANY.
An Attempt VIII BE Made to bring
Together All Organizations.

The executive committee of the committee
Of seventy at its meeting at the chamber
Of commerce in New York yesterday after
neon passed a resolution that the chairman
be instructed to request each convention TO
appoint conference committees to meet this
committee on the subject of the nomination
of candidates for the municipal ticket and
to adjourn without making nominations
pending each conference.
Charles S. Smith, chairman of the execu-
tive committee, stated yesterday afternoon
when the committee had adjourned that the
outlook for a union of the anti-Tammany
forces was very promising.
The Good Government Club people and
the City Club are with u.s." he said. What
we want to do is TO consolidate the opposi-
ton to Tsmmany Hall and We think that
we have hit upon the right plan. We have
practically had an eight-hou- session today
and have been in consultation with the
leaders of nearly all the organizations op-
posed to Tammany Hall. j may say that
the results thus lar arrived at have been
most satisfactory"
Negotia tons with the various anti-Tam-
many organiza lions have been going on for
the past two days. 1t is generally believed
that the republican organization holds the
key TO the situation. 1t Is the strongest
ana most effectively established of all the
organizations opposed to Tammany Hall in
New York, and great deal depends upon
the terms which can be made with il by
the COMMITTEES of seventy.

HER HUSBAND DIsSECTED.
Mrs. Young Seeks Damages From a
Medical College.

Before Judge Phelps IN the court of COM
mon pleas at Baltimore yesterday was be-
gun the suit of Mrs. Barbara Young, who
wants TO secure SIS 600 damages from the
College of Physicians and Surgeons and
Drs. Edwin Geer and Nathan G. Kierle for
mutilating the body of her husband George
w. Young was in the employ of the rail-
road company and was injured in an &C
cident He was removed to the city hos
pital, which is controlled by the College of
Physicians. and died there.
Dr. Kierle is the city post-mortem ply
sician and DR.. Geer is a coroner. Both are
professors at the college and the plaintiff
charges that they cut open the body for the
instruction of the students, removed the
brain and filled the cavity in the skull with
bakam. This, she charges, was done en-
tirely without her consent or knowledge.
The defendants demurred, but this being
overruled by the court, they offered a
prayer that the jury should not be allowed
to take in conside-at ton the mental an
guish suffered by the plaintiff on the legal
principle that damages cannot be recov-
cred for this because of the impossibilty
of fixing any rule by which the amount of
vidual cases.
Judge Phelps held that while the principle
held as a genral rule this was an excep-
tional case. The right Of a widow to the
decent burial Of her husband was at issue
and she should be allowed 10 vindicate her
claim to substantial damages. The "men-
tai anguish" clause in the declaration was
accordingly allowed to stand and the jury
empaneled.

What n Jnpanese Triumph Would

From the London Spectator

From the London Spectator
Assume a complete Japanese victory, with
a peace dictated to the Chinese, and what
will be its result? AS We judge, a change
in the relatitn of Europe to Asia which
may affect the whole future of the world
The feebleness of Asia is born in great part
of self-distrust, and that self-distrust will
have received in a Japanese revival an i'm
mense, perhaps a destructive, shock. An
Asiatic power will have shown itself capa-
in war, of armng itself up to the Euro
lean point and of working it's army and
fleet as efficiently as those of any European
state. Why should that. Asiatic power &C
quiesce any longer In submissiveness agree
to capitulations, bear laws directed against
Its subjects or abstain from taking any
territories it wishes for? For example
merely to make the argument more con-
crete, II Japan is the power some of her
admirers suggest, she could take the Phil
ippines away from Spain with the greatest
ease, and turn that magnificent group
which the Spaniards only neglect into n
new island kingdom. Her example would
be initiated. we may rely on it, by China.
by Siam, by native states in India like Ne

AT present the nitrate trade of Chile is

A Hundred Million Dollar Swfndle

during the early days of Californian gold
mining have many a tale to tell of ..saIted',

recent discovery OF gold in the TransvaaI

with America in producing big things, holds
now the record for unprecedented mining
swindles. The News van der Dag Am
sterdam, relates the following:
"A few months ago the news came from
Tasmania that hill had been discovered
which consisted almost entirely of rich
gold quartz. n thorough Investigation
was made. and ASA great quantity of rich

which issued a prospectus in which the
value of the mountain was put down at
twenty million pounds. The shares found a
ready market throughout Australia, Some
experienced old prospectors, nevertheless
had their doubts. and they petitioned the
government to cause another investiga ton
of Mount Huxley. The government geolo-
gist, Montgomery, and the inspector of
mines, a gentleman named Harrison were
sent to the spot, and now a most gigantic
swindle came to light. Barker had hired
miners and with their assistance sailed
the hill in about eighty places using
quartz, ore, and even nuggets to do the lob
In the places where no Sailing had taken

Who Would Oppose Removal.

There are now fewer men in Congress
that practice before the Supreme Court
than formerly, but those who do conduct
such practice would very vigorously op-
pose the removal of the court to any dis
lance. In the days of Matt Carpenter
Thurman. Conkiing and Edmunds there
was a great deal of practice by Congress
men before the Supreme bar. The men
kamed used to make many arguments and
conduct a great deal of business before the
Supreme Court. Now. though, a large ma
jority of the men in both houses are law
yers, but few of them have any practice in
the Supreme Court. Sherman is a MEM
Der of that bar, but does little or no bust
ness there. Gray, Davis, Cockrell and two
or three others are all the Senators who
have any Supreme Court practice. Harris
used to have a great deal, but now has
dropped 1t almost altogether. Washburn
has case there occasionally. Evarts used
to do business before the court quite fire.
