AFTER HAYES ENDORSEMENT.
Maryland Democrats Wanted Him
Declare for Hurst.


Speciai Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, October 3o.-I has
leaked out that an effort was made this
week by The managers of the Hurst cam
paign to induce Mr. Thomas G. Hayes the
aspirant for the gubernatorial nomination.
whom Senator German turned down, to
come out of the seclusion wherein he has
kept himself since the democratic conven-
ton and speak in Mr.. HurSts behalf
Senator Hayes was waited on by a dele
CATION composed of the most prominent
and representative members of the regu-
lar democratic organization, and these gen.
tle1 len brought every argument III their
power to bear upon him to prevail upon
him to break his long silence. lie was
told that he of all men could turn aside
the storm which threatened to oEerwhelm
the democratic party on election day, and
that If he would ideEtify himself with the
cause of Hurst he would place the regular
organization under such obligation that
it would give him its answering support
in the future. He was also assured that
at the eXpiI alton of the congressional term
of Mr.. John X. Cowen he would lie elected
Congressman from the fourth district, and
that four years from now. should he sup
port Hurst, he would be rewarded with
the nomination for the governorship
Other promises were made to him.
To all these inducements MIR. Hayes
turned a deaf ear, and assured his hearers
that nothing could compel hirn to retreat
from the position he had assumed on lind
ing himself deserted by Senator German,
and his visitors We're reluctantly compelled
to abandon all hope Of aid from that quar-
ter
The regular organization is disguised
with the economy displayed by Mr.. Hurst
in doing out funds to the campaign. The
principal reason which Influenced the lead
ers to select Mr. Hurst as a candidate was
the belief that he would put substantial
proportion of his wealth into the funds.
Mr. Rasin. in speaking to The Star cor
respondent of the substitution of Hurst for
HAYES, remarked we can't undertake to
conduct a campaign on wind, and the
other leaders believed that with the rich
Hopkins place merchant at the head of the
ticket money would be dealt out lavishly.
But Mr.. Hurst has contributed sparingly,
and while there is no lack of funds, still his
attitude comes in for considerable adverse
criticism from the men who nominated him.
Messrs. Hurst, Crothers and Smith left
for southern Maryland this morning and
will wind up the campaign, addressing
meetings in Calvert and St. Marys coun-
ties.
The conviction that Lowndes will be elect
ed is growing every day, and the speeches
of Senator German are believed by many
democrats who intend to vote the regular
ticket to have lessened Mr.. Hurst's chances
considerably.

AN EXTRACTION CASE.
Alleged Russian Burgher Who Saws
He Is Not the Man,

lie Is NOt the Man.
The Secretary of State has issued war
rant for the surrender to the Russian an
thorities of Ivan Noitechov Ribitcki. for
trial on charges of theft and forgery.
RibitcSi is a Russian burgher and was
recently arrested in New York on reoui-
sitions issued by the Russian government
under the terms of the eNtradition treaty
recently concluded between the United
States and Russia. The prisoner is ac-
cuScd of having stolen three horses in
1893 and of forging bill of sale for two
other hoses. There is a suspicion in some
quarters that he is really wanted in Rus
STA for trial for alleged completely in an
attempt upon the life of the car. The
unusual efforts made for his pursuit and
theory that his alleged offense is more
serious than is represented in the reuui-
sition for his surrender. The case was
heard by United States Commissioner
Semple in New York, and he forwarded all
the papers to the State Department, with
a recommendation that the request for eX-
tradition be granted. A peculiar feature
of the case is that the prisoner stoGtly
maintains that he is not Ribitcki but is
Joseph Repinsky. He also asserts that he
is wanted for a political offense, and that
the criminal charges are only a cloak to
conceal the real issue. Under the treaty
with Russia political offenders are eX-
empt from eXtradition. The action of the
United States commissioner and the Sec
rotary of State indicates clearly their be-
lief in the good faith of the Russian au-
thorities, and that the prisoner is wanted
for larceny and forgery; also that he is
Ribitcki and not Repinsky, as he claims
1t is said that this is the first case of ex-
tradition under the existing treaty with
Russia, which was ratified February IA,
1893

THE RAILROAD STRIKERS
An Exciting Scene Near the Anacostia
Bridge.
Cars all Derniled by Those Who Sym
pathfxe With the Strike-FinaIy
Driven to the Stable.

About $50 this afternoon President Girls
void sent Superintendent Newton out of
the stable with instructions to bring in the
cars then on the road in whatever manner
he could Mr. Newton succeeded with the
aid of the police in having car No. 81,
which had been turned at sth and G streets
replaced on the track and started on it's
way to the stables in AnacoStia. Car No.
%, which followed it also went on its way
without further trouble. When the next
car, No. 2I. came along, an effort was made
by some persons in the crowd to stop it
by means of a limb of a tree, which was
thrown across the tracks. The driver saw
the limb however, in time and threw it
from the track, before any damage was
done. Men ran along with the car for five
or six blocks attempting In many ways to
stop and actually lifted it finally from the
track by sheer force. A policeman who
was en- the car. however, persuaded the
crowd to replace the car and let it go on its
way.
DcrailinE n Car.
A few minutes before o'clock this after
noon the scene of the conflict OF the Anacos-
tia road was transferred TO 18th and n
streets near the Anacostia bridge Here the
strikers and their friends seemed to have
assembled in large numbers. Their nove-
ments were directed by Mr.. Lawrence the
assembly knights of Labor Assembly. AS
fast as the cars coming from the city toward
Anacostia arrived at this point they were
deraled and placed across the track, the
horses being detached from them. No vio-
lence, however. was offered TO he men who
We're working on the cars, and the strike
seemed to he good humored. Their purpose
was apparently to prevent the opera son of
the road. Mr.. Newton managed to get
horses to the cars and to start the cars on
toward the stable in Anacostia about 1
o'clock.
The police We're on the ground but APP
peared TO do nothing 10 prevent strikers
from turning the cars around The general
impression was that the police sympa hized
with the strikers.
The Last Car.
Finally all the cars except one We're got
across the bridge. The crowd that was as
sembled and which consisted largely Of half
grown boys would not permit this car to be
taken away.
Upward of 200 people surrounded this
car, and with stones and sticks broke about
every pane of glass in the car. There We're
some demonstrations against the driver of
the car. but he defended himself with his
brake handle, and managed to keep the
crowd off.
A pile of stones was heaped upon the
street across the track so as to blockade
the car track and to rake it difficult for
ordinary vehicles to pass. The crowd would
not permit the man sent from Anacostia
to attach his horses to the car.
The wrecked car was finally secured I'M
der police protection and taken to Ana
costa.

The most important business before the

of a bishop of the new diocese. Besides
this there will also be the election of a
standing committee and some other details
incident to inaugurating the work of the
new diocese.
At the general convention in Minneapolis.
when consent was obtained to Il partition
of the diocese of Maryland. Bishop Paret
expected to call the convention here at an
earlier date, but his eXactng duties in the
house of bishops, of which he is a most
important member. prevented his doing so.
Bishop Paret will determine with what
services the convention will open. While it
will not necessarily be the case, the chances
are that the election of the new bishop
may not be reached before the morning ses-
sion of the second day. 1t is customary to
elect the standing committee first. and at
the convention providing for the diocese of
Easton. which was made out of the old do
cese of Maryland. the new bishop was not
elected until the second day. On account
of the comparative novelty OF such con-
vention this more than the usual amount
of time may be taken up in the routine
work of organization. st. Andrews Church,
