NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 26.-Richard
Croker said emphatically yesterday that
he did not intend to resume the personal
direction of tie affairs of Tammany Hall.
Soon after the holidays he plans to return
to England to look after his racing stable
there. The date of his coming back is un-
certain. but it is believed he will be here
some time in September of next year.
To representative of the United Asso-
ciated Presses, who called his attention to
a report that owing to business matters
John G. Sheehan, who has been the
executive head of Tammany Hall, was 60
ing to retire, he said: Il hope this is not
SO; it would be unfortunate for the organi-
zation. Mr.. Sheehsn has made a great
record for this year for Tammany. The
organization was practically without any
sufficient fund for Its campaign expenses.
Yet Tammany Hal polled Tor the Demo-
cratic National ticket over 135, COO votes.
To my mind it was wonderful showing"
Mr.. Croker said that since mis- arrival in
this city he has found no one who does
not believe that it will be in the inter-
est OF the city to elect Democratic ticket
next year.

pie OF the city have gained bv electing the

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 26.-A special
from Kansas City, Mo-, says: Something
of stir was created among the gold
standard Democrats here last night by the
reading of spirited letter from D. r.
Francis, Secretary of the Interior, at q
banquet held in celebration of the recent
defeat of tree silver.
Alter referring to the result of the re-
cent election and declaring that, in his
opinion, it settled the financial question
at least until the existing standard shall
have been given a fair and thorough trial,
Secretary Francis said:
While l agree with the advocates of
sound money in the fight r Gently made,
there are many principles advocated by
some of those who have been advocates of
that cause to which / cannot subscribe. If
some legislation is not enacted to check
the growing influence of wealth and cir

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 26-Tweuty-two
exhausted and bruised football players,
decorated with mud from head to foot,
walked off the Chicago Athletic Assocla-
ton field at O. clock this afternoon. The
Chicago team carried with it also the
honor of having won the fourth annual
contest on the gridiron against the Boston
Athletic eleven. The home team doubled
tha score made by the overmatched vis-
itors, the figures at the close of the game
being II to 6. Boston's players were too
weak and slow for the opposite aggrega-
tion of muscle and running power. A
heavy rain fell most OF the time, driven
by brisk wind, which was in Chicago's s
favor in the first half. when eight of their
twelve points were made. Three men
were disa abled-Graham and Butler of
Boston and Choynard of Chicago. Graham
