Thinks the Next President Will BE n
Democrat.
NEW YORK. September 2O.-Richard
Croker, the former chief of Tammany Hall.
arrived today from England by the steamer
Columbia. At first Mr.. Croker refused to
say a word about politics. He excused
himself upon the ground that he had been
away so long and that so many events
had transpired during his absence.
Have you come to take an active part
in the campaign. Mr.. Croker?" he was
asked.
II have simply come back to be in plenty
of time to vote the Tammany ticket; other
wise I am entirely out of politics."
"Do you regard the prospects of the DEM
ocratic party as favorable?'
LAS l have been away for six months, 1t
conditions here before answering your
| question. However,, everything indicates
that We are going to have good times
again. If good times return and the coun-
try is iRa prosperous condition next year
the democratic party will win. AS the
party was held responsible for hard times,
it naturally should receive the credit of
having restored prosperity. On this basis
l expect the next President to be q demo-
cratic one.'
Further than this Mr.. Croker refused to
talk upon political subjects, except to
say in answer to question that he did not
eNPecl " dtteho .Ae stdle CONVENTION.
Mr.. Croker spoke enthusiastically of his
racing in England, and said that he hoped
to 10 considerable racing there next year.
''The English are great racing people, "
said the ex-Tammany chieftain, land I
have thoroughly enjoyed my experience. 1t
seems that every one in England, from the
Prince of Wales, and the heads of the gov
ernment down to the humblest citizen, loves
a good horse.t ~
"Londoners think nothing of going 200

THE MYSTERIOUS SHIP,

1t is believed to Have Been the Lord
TemplemOre.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 2O.-The
mysterious British ship sighted off the
Horn by the American ship Benjamin Se-
wall Is believed to have been the Lord
Templemore. which is now in port. Capt
Sewall reported having passed a vessel
near Cape Horn in the Pacific on May 20
which had all her spars standing, but no
sails set. Neither could any sign of life be
discovered. Capt. McWilliams of the Lord
Templemcre is positive that his ship is the
one which was sighted by the Benjamin
Sewall.
The Lord Templemore had terrible ex-
perience rounding the Horn. and had all
her sails blown away.
THE reason that Capt. Sewall did not
see any signs of life on board" said Capt.
McWiliams. was because all hands were
busy making new sails. 1t is strange.
Il ough. that he did not try to make US
out That was away back in May, and
after being delayed by having to make
new sails. We beat the Sewall up aearly a
month";
The Lord Templemore had a very close
call from running into an iceberg which
locmed up ahead of her to the height of
200 feet.

ORGANIsT KINGS TESTIMONY.

Two Points Overlooked in His Exam.
inatiOn.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 2O.-when
George B. King. the organist Of Emanuel
Church, was ON the witness stand In the
Durrant trial Wednesday, the prosecution.
by an oversight, failed to examine him on
two material points. When King was first
Interviewed in reference to the murders by
representatives of the newspapers he de-
MED all knowledge of anything which in the
remotest way might connect Durrant with
the commission Of either crime. His denial
was made in way which left strong i'm
preston that the young man was not tell
ing the truth.
he knew more than he cared to tell. This
opinion rapidly crystallized into an idea
that he knew something he did not dare to
tell. His father became frightened at this
condition OF affairs, and the result was
young Kings important announcement to
the police that he was in the church that
afternoon, and saw Durrant in a strangely
agitated state.
King was then seen by the interviewers,
and to reporter from each of the morn
Ing papers declared voluntarily and with
emphasis that after Durrant had gone to a
small mirror in the church he also went
there, and on the shelf below the mirror
saw clot of blood, as If Durrant had
wiped his finger there. Shortly after young
King made his sworn statement to the
chief of police the father of Durrant is said
to have called upon him and begged him to
say that the man he saw in the church in
such condition looked like Theodore Dur
rant, but was not really the man who Is
now on trial for his life.
King answered that he could not change
his testimony even to save his friend. King
will be recalled as a witness and questioned
upon these points.
Durrant receives letters almost daily
from women in different parts of the coun-
try. assuring him of their firm belief in his
innocence. and wishing they could be with
him to comfort him. In every instance
thus far the letter has come from some one
whom he has never seen or heard cf.
Among a number of tender missives re-
ceived recently was one signed by a woman
giving the name of Mrs. l.. Pangborn of
Aurora, ILL., The author assured Durrant
that she knew he was innocent; that her
belief had come to her as an inspiration,
and that she would never be convinced to
the contrary. She also assured him that
she prayed nightly for his speedy deliver
ance.
A sensational story has been circulated
concerning a prisoner in the county jail,
who was said to be awaiting an Dpportu-
nifty to kill Theodore Durrant, who is also
in Jail while his trial Is in progress for the
murder Of Blanche Lamont. The officials
say there Is no truth in the story.

Causes Better Feeling at the Dis
triet Building.
C0MMlSsI0HERgs cLAM-LlKE POLICY
Iron-c|ad Rules suppressing News
Broken BY Themselves.
THE woRiM TURN

Tired of being investigated every day or
so for printing news which belongs to the
people. and as a sort Of a retaliatory meas
ire, the reporters on duty at the Commits
sioners' office today in meeting assembled,
issued the following, copy of which, duly
signed by the secretary of the meeting, was
submitted to thu Commissioners:
''WAsHINGTON. D. c.,
September 20, 1895.
ut having been found necessary, in order
that the newspaper reporters may attend
to their work. without interruption, it is
hereby ordered: That all employees of the
District building are prohibited from enter
Ing the room set aside for the press"
The above was received with great cere-
among the archives of the District.
A few minutes afterward the secretary
broke the rule and had to be forcibly eject
ed from the reporters room. There were
nothing was done. One of the Commission
ers incidentally broke the Commissioners
own rules today, and gave out report that
his colleagues had not seen. But then to
sicners. when his attention was called to
this branch Of the rules, 'The king can do
no wrong" -,.
Class Lcgislation.
Everything was calm and serene about
the Commissioners office today. The re-
turn of Commissioner Ross had a whole
some effect, and he cheered the downcast
reporters with his frankness and deep SYM
pathy. OF course, he would not discuss the
rule made yesterday forbidding reporters
to enter the secretary's office. 1t had been
made when he was absent, and it would
have been manfestly improper for him to
go on record concerning 1t. Commissioner
Truesdell was absent. and Maj. Powell had
no desire to offend the scribes. That order
forbidding the reporters from entering the
secretary's room Is looked upon as class
legislation, and the Commissioners will be
appealed to to modify 1t or make its scope
broader. Just why a newspaper reporter
should be legislated against, and citizens
not newspaper reporters be allowed to en-
ter. Is a question as yet unanswered. The
reporters tread softly in the regions adja-
cent to this prescribed territory, and when
some one calls them up over the public
telephone. which, by the way. Is in the sec
retary's office. they bow submissive and
DR.. Tindall gives his consent. There Is no
penalty clause attached to the order, and
just what punishment would be meyed out
to a reporter who dared transgress the
rule Is not known.
The Only Break.
The Italian parade was the only thing
that stirred thu Herks today. 1t passed in
front of the paface of the Mystics, and
every clerk inrthe building made rush for
the front windows. But the poor fellows,
and girls, they were entitled to little let
up, for all day. long they had been suffering
from a bad attack of shut up" and feared
to say their accustomed good mornings"
lest the dire vengeance of the Commission
ers be heaped upon them.

Efforts to Break Up the Tobacco
Trust.
CHARGES MADE AGAINST THE COMPANY
Argument Before Attorney General
Hancock of New York. d,
BOTH SIDES ARE HEARD

SYRACUSE, N. Y, September 2O.-The
hearing before Attorney General Hancock
in the action brought by c. A. Wbelan of
this city against the American Tobacco
Company to restrain the trust from doing
business in this state was begun today.
jos. II. Choate. with Oudin and Oakley. ap-
pears for the American Tobacco Company,
and E. N. Wilson of this city. with Elm
stein and Gutterman Of New York, as coun-
sci for Mr.. Whelan.
Mr.. Wilson opened the argument, fully
setting forth the allegations Of the petition
ers and charging the trust with conspiracy.
He said that each of the firms comprising
it had formerly done business separately.
The capital stock of the corporation, he
said. was $25,OOO.OOO although the actual
assets of the firms comprising the trust
ere not more than $5.O00.O00. He contend
ed that the capital was fictitious, and that
the avarice and greed Of the trust would
never be satisfied until it had eaten up all
other corporations. Under the methods em-
pioyed it would be an easy matter for the
trust to pay dividend of 10 to II per cent.
The American Tobacco Company. Mr..
Wilson argued further, was gotten up for
the control of the market.
Col. Fuller. at the close of Mr.. Wilson's
address. presented the claims of the Amer
lean Tobacco Company. The first i'm
of the trust was that the price of cigar
cites, both to jobbers and consumers, has
Leen lower since the American Tobacco
Company was organized than ever before.
The trust, he said, denies that since its or
ganiZatioE 1t has absorbed any other man
ufacturers. He charged the petitioner with
reoklessness in the charges made. The
trust alleges. he said, that it increased its
business in otEer lines of tobacco much
mt re than in cigarettes. 1t uses 30,OOOO 900
pounds of tobr eco annually in other ways
than cigarette manufacturing, while 1t
uses but 100000 pounds Of tobacco an
nrally In making cigarettes. 1t is admit
ted that the trust fixes the prices of it's
own goods, ard also that in certain cases
1t refused to consign it's cigarettes to GER
tain jobters, but only because it's own
goods were being improperly used.
1t Is denied that 50 per cent of the cigar
cites sold IN the state are its own panufac-
ture.
Col. Fuller presented an affidavit denying
the allegation Of George ]. Whelan, also
another affidavit from Secretary Brown of
the trust denying that jobbers were intlmi-
dated or threatened. He then presented
some resolutions adopted by the jobbers and
whole sale dealers of New York city, in which
the criticisms against the methods of the
trust are denounced as malicious and un-
warranted.
A letter was read signed by number of
dealers in this city, in which the company is
urged rot to change its course, in which the
slgnerS declare themselves as not being In
sympathy with c. A. Whelan & Co. in their
contentious.

William c. Finlater, inspector of customs
at the port of Philadelphia, was asked by
United States District Attorney vandegrift
what vessel cleared from Philadelphia

Senator Gray objected. contending that
the question was irregular and impertinent.
He claimed that the vessels that cleared
frem Philadelphia that Cay for the West
Indies had no bearing on the case. unless it
was shown that the defendants were con-
nected with them. The objection was over
ruled.

The United States district attorney offer

Counsellor Ward objected, and read the
fourth and fifth amendments to the Constt-

his objection. He contended that the seiz-
ure of the package was unwarrantable.
He also claimed that the United States

a right to open it. He reviewed portions of
the testimony of Detective Gaylor and the

showing that their evideEce differed.
