HE SLINkS AWAY.
Dunraven Utterly Fails to Substantiate
Any of His Charges.
Beaten at Every Poin, He Sails Before the
Hearing Is Finished.

. New York, Dec 29.-Lord Dunraven
| has sailed for England. With him went
Arthur Glennie, his friend They walked
aboard the Umbria, of the Cunard Line,
shortly after p. NJ. Saturday and an
hour later they were speeding down the
bay, homeward bound. In effecting the
object of their visit they were thoroughly
disappointed.
The noble eaI had failed most signally
to substantiate his charge Of fraud against
the members OF the syndicate which built
the Defender
1t was made clear that Ii tons of extra
ballast would have made n crab of the
cup winner. II was also made clear that
the triple transfer Of such an amount Of
ballast was practically an impossibility.
IL may bs safely asserted that Lord Dun
raven was beaten at every point There
was not single statement favoring his
case which was not thoroughly explained.
Although given the fullest and fairest
opportunity, he failed 10 substantiate any
one of his statements
Consequently, having seen how the wind
blew, and having fired the last shot In his
locker, without any other effect than a
center brcadside, the noble earl packed ,,p
his belongings and sailed for England.
According To New York Yacht Club men.
the charges against the Defender syndicate
were by no means gallant, but The earl
certainly acted in gallant manner In his
attempts to defend them. Everything con.
sidcred however, 1t was the least thing
ne could have done.
He simply fought until it was useless to
fight any longer. Then he gave mp and
went home. But will he apologize:
That Is the question which the New York
Yacht Club men are asking each other
and which nobody can find out

GERMAN SCANDALS.
Socialist Dumbfounded at the Capture
Of Baron Hammerstein.
Friedman Also Has Great Revelations in
Won kotze Documents.

Berlin, Dec. 2a-The capture In Ather.
of Baron Won Hsmmerstein, the formc,
editor Il the Kruz Zeitung, who absconGe
under charges of forgery and embczlle
ment. created tremendous sensation in
political and social circles. when his ar
rest became known Saturday.
One of the chief weapons of the Socialist
press ard Socialist Parliamentary lead rs
has consisted of destinations that the gov.
ernment connived at Hammerstein :
escape and frowned upon the genuine a .
tempts to bring him back In order to pre-
vent disclosures affecting the Conservative
supporters of the government.
The capture of Hammerssln has taken
the wind out of the sails of the Socialist
| craft aud rendered the HamInerstein let
tiers, which the Socialist were holding over
the heads of many Conservative members
/ OF the Reichstag, almost if not wholly
valneless rs tcrrorizing measures.
There never has been moment since
the disappearance of Hammerstcin that
the government has not been unceasing in
Its endeavors to find him and bring him
back to justice. The political police
tracked him through Switzerland and
Italy, and finally spotted him as he was
landing from a steamer at Piraeus, port
of Athens
The police watched him closely during
the entire time occupied In making appli-
cations in secret to the Greek government
for his surrender. The government of
Greece does not cxtradite culprits except
Tor capital offences, but under pressure
from Berlin, the Athens authorities took
advantage of Hammcrstein having re
corded himslf rs William Herbart." to
expel him from the kingdom as an
Anarchist suspect.
Hammerstein was compelled to leave
and embarked on II steamer for Brinoisi.
The German police also took the steamer
and the moment the vessel s,iled, Com
missary Wolf of the Berlin political police,
placed him under arrest.
The conduct of the government i'm the
Hammerstcin matter having been yindi
Gated, the police will be allowed free
hand TO pursue their plans OF Socialist
repression, while the Conservatives, no
longer deferred by Socialist menaccs of
damaging revelations, will urge repressive
measures In the Reichstag.
Berlin has the prospect OF an extremely
racy scandal season, between the Ham
case and the revelations con
tanned in the Won kotze documents, which
are In the Possession of Fritz friedman,
the abscondng Berlin lawyer. Accord
ing to the current report, Friedman is |
now in London, where he has prepared |
pamphlet attacking high legal and politi |
cal persons, which he threatens to publish |
II the German authorities modest him any
where.
1t is understood that Fredmann wants |
a formal permit to return to Germany, |
incognto, to settle his affairs, |
and is now negotiating with the proper
authorities in Berlin to that end

SENATE REORGANIZATION
Will Be Made, ;Eoday--Add Then for
Few Days Holiday.
ae'e Will Be Practically No Work in House
Till After Ian. 6.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The 'reorganiza-
tion of the committees of the Senate will
be effected, tomorrow, by the passage Of a
resolution to be introduced By Mr..
Mitchell, chairman of the Republican
steering committee. In violation of the
precedents for a number of years past, IA
yea and nay vote will be taken upon the
adoption of the resolution.
The Democrats say that they intend to
show the country that the Republicans
have more votes in the Senate than the
Democrats, and therefore are entitled to
take control, but there is a suspicion that
the Democrats hope by this vote to be
able to show deal made by the Republi
cans with the Populists.
The Republicans meet this argument
with the statement that they have per
mitted the Populists to remain just where
they were under a Democratic admnistra
ton of the Senate and the charge OF Il deal
no more applies now than against thu
Democrats when they assumed control
The reorganization will not go into
effect practically until after Wednesday
for the present employees, committee
clerks, etc, have been paid their salaries
for December
Besides the reorganization resolution
an address by Lodge Rep, of Massashu-
setts.i is on the programme for Monday on
the resolution now on the table relating to
the enforcement of the Monroe doctrfSp
Mr., Lodge, who is an ardent advocate
of the strict enforcement OF that doctri,se.
will, doubtless, make strong speech and
command the attention of the Senate and
country. 1t is understood that he will go
deeply into this subject and review the
historical matters out of which it grew
and the cases in which it has been applied
by this government.
1t is probable that the Senate will in
dulge, after tomorrow's session, in
three-days recess until the holiday session
is over. The new tariff bill is now before
the finance committee meeting of that
body called for Tuesday. While there
will be no undue delay in reporting the
bill back to the Senate, it is not probable
that the report will be made before the end
of next week
The programme for the House, this
week, is one of practical idleness Under
the working of the agreement announced,
Saturday, by Mr.. Dineley, chairman of
the committee on ways and means, the
House will be called to order, Tuesday,
to adjourn until Friday, when the opera
ton will be repeated, an adjournment oe-
ing taken that day until Monday, Jan. 8, \
at which time the considerat ton of bust
ness will be resumed @
The appropriations and election COM
mittees expect to do SONS work in their
rooms during the week, Far the furtherance

THE COMMISSION.
Justice Brewer interviewed on
Its Possible Members.
Thinks Not Unlikely That Chief JUS
tce Fuller May Be Named.
Doubtful u Gen. Harrison Would Accept u
Position Was Offered.

st. Louis, Dec %. --Justice David J.
Brewer Of the United States supreme
court, passed thorugh this city, today, en-
route to Washington, from San Antonio,
Texas, where he has been ut the bedside
of a sick daughter. Judge Brewer stated
that the report that he had been asked 20
accept place on the Venezuelan commits
sion was untrue He said
~ would not BE- surprised IL Chief Jus.
ticc Fuller were rendered place on the
commission. He and the President arc
warm friends The chief justice would
make an excellent man for the place, but
do not think that he would accept the
position. His duties would then be too
great for any map.
As to Gen. Harrison, ! do not think
that no would accept n position on the
commission. He can probably make more
money out Of his law practice and not do
such hard work.
And then. although I do not know, no
may he candidate. The fact that he
held a place on this commission would
not help his candidacy. IL he were
candidate he would most probably want to
be where the politicians gather, and no
would not have the time TO do this IL no
sat on tho commission.
Speaker Reed Is now on trial, as It
were. He has position that il difficult
one to I'll, and the next few months will
make him or break him.
Mckinley will enter the convention.
with the most votes, and ! do not think
either he or Merton will bs able to control
it.

on some man acceptable to both and it
would not surprise me il that man were
