onEvEnAsD,s ILLUSION TO CHRIST
His Thanksgiving Proclamation Has
 Aroused the Hebrews.


 Baltimore, Nov. 23.-Considerable in terest has been aroused in Hebrew cir cles by the language used by President Cleveland in his Thanksgiving procla- mation. The particular words are:
 Asking a continuance of heavenly favor through the mediation of Him who taught us how to pray
 The Rev. pr. A. Guttmacher of the Baltimore congregation, who is to de- liver the Thanksgiving address next Thursday at the Union services, liar Sinai Temple, in speaking of the sen- tence quoted, said to-day:
 T cannot bring myself to believe that a slight was intended. When l read the proclamation the words struck me as being peculiar, but immediately judged them unintentional President Cleveland is too broad minded man to stoop to sectarian prejudices. He has shown himself great in all that constitutes greatness, and the words used were written withou prejudice simply slipping in unintentionally.'
 Rev. Tobias Schonfarger, rabbi of the liar Sinai Temple said:
 "The president made a big mistake. His meaning is plain and I do not see how 1t could have been otherwise than intentional. It does certainly seem strange that the president would issue a proclamation which introduces the peculiar convictions of any one faith. The government of this country has nothing to do with anyone's religion. It is questionable whether any Thanks giving proclamation should be sent forth by any president Jefferson re- fused to issue. a proclamation on the ground that such matters had nothing to do with the government of the coun- try. This proclamation excludes the Hebrews, because they do not believe that they were brought to pray through the mediation, of any one. Still, this will not deter us from offering up thanks

Eighth Ward.

There was a battle royal for leader- ship of the democratic forces in the Eighth ward yesterday between State Chairman Troup and Martin Conlan. The minds of these two leaders have not for many months run in parallel grooves. though Martin did considera- ble work under the state leader during the recent unsuccessful popocratc campaign, not because he loved the cause he championed, but for the rea- son that he could see no irregularity in the nomination of the men, Conlan admitted as much upon all occasions. Conlan's wounds, occasioned by the de- feat of the Boy Orator and his nonde- script following, soon healed, and with the curing came the spirit of forgive ness toward the men who thought, as he is said to have thought, and had the temerity to vote in accordance with those convictions in spite of the regu- larity of the nominations. Martin drew about him a coterie of advanced young men and issued manifesto calling up- on all who had once marched under the banner of united democracy to do so once more. This move ostracised Con ldu dllu HIS loiloWeIS. At .lHe CduCuS Sunday afternoon the marble heart was given them. Troup had everything his own way, as he did yesterday, when Martin went down with only 135 votes to his credit, while the Troup ticket re- ceived 217 votes. The delecates elected are:
 Town-Philip Hugo, James J. Carr, William Geary, Charles L. Well; alter nate, Robert M Enscoe
 City-Charles J. Anderson, Maurice P. Lynch Benjamin Sugenheimer, Er- nest F. Hesse; alternate, Jeremiah J. Sullivan, 2d.
 Board of relief-Joseph Lawrence, Michael J. McMahon, Edward Zernitz, Joseph J. Brady; alternate, Carl A. Ro- senthal.

Although the sea was still running high, a lifeboat was launched and the man was picked up and taken on board. No other living object was seen, al though the steamer cruised in the vi- cinity for some time. The name of the man picked up was Narcisso Carbonel of Valencia, Spain. He was working his passage as cattleman on board Norwegian steamer, the name of which he did not know, and which foundered the previous night at 8 o'clock through shipping an enormous sea.

 Soon afterwards loads of boxes and barrels arrived at the old cannon. When it became dusk whole sections of fences, ash boxes and other property began to come iIl. By o'clock the pile was over fifty feet in diameter and nearly as high. At about this time pandemonium broke loose. Bells rang and f1recrackers and firearms were dis charged
 A brass band then came on the cam- pus playing the Triangle Song" and the refrain was caught up by over, a thousand voices. All the students formed in line and marched about the town, fifty of them drawing a coach decorated in orange and black, in which were the victorious football team. At o'clock Captain Cochrane lighted the big pile of wood and before long flames shot up. So intense was the heat that it set on fire the trees surrounding the quadrangle, making it necessary to turn the hose on to them. While the fire burned the students gathered about the steps of Clio hall and each member of the team was cheered heartily and each one spoke 8 few words, telling how Yale was defeated on Saturday. Several others also spoke and all de- clared that Yale must be beaten again in '97. The hilarity continued late into the night.

Their earnings were supposed to be hiddin their home, and the murderers entered the house early in the morning in order to steal the money. The sound of their foot steps awakened the Laboys.
 Laboy jumped from bed and scuff1e ensued, but the three intruders grab bed him and in an instant he laid pros trate.

 Next Seasons Plans.


 Philadelphia, Nov. 23,-The Atlantic league held it's meeting to-day New ark was awarded the pennant and this caused the only trouble experienced during the meeting.

The board of directors audited and approved the re- port of the secretary and treasurer. An extra tax was levied on the Nor folk and Richmond clubs for admis- sion. With the addition of these two clubs the league was organized for five years.
 The election of president for the en- suing year resulted in the choice of Edward Burrows of Paterson by a vote of to g. The candidates for the presi- dency in addition to Burrows were Horace Fogel of the Philadelphia Led ger, Arthur Irwin and John D. Day. MT.

 New York, Nov. 23.--Mr Croker, who since his return from Europe Saturday has consistently refused to be inter- viewed on the political situation, came down to his office this morning and talked on the outlook for next year. He said: From all that have heard I believe that Tammany will present a solid front in the next campaign, The indications are that all democrats will get together for the local fight next year, and I am confident they will do so. The people know by this time that Tammany can give to the city a better and more economical administration than the republicans have done. and the sentiment seems to be in favor of a united democracy next year"
 MT. Croker said he had met and talk ed with a number of his friends in Tammany since his return, and was pretty well informed as to the situa- tion He said that he had not seen John c. Sheehan or Henry D. Purroy since his return, but intinated that he expected to see them in few days.

UNDER POLICE PROTECTION
BETWEEN a,OOO AND 5000 LIQUOR
 TIOLATORS IN NEW YORK,

Senator Kaines Makes a Startling State-
 ment-Open Violations of the Excise
 -Violators Are Paying Tribute to
 Police Captains-The Parkhurst Crusade
 Seems to Have Failed of Its Purpose.
 Albany, Nov, 23-"There are between 4000 and 5000 places within a radius of ten miles of the New York city hall that are selling liquor without a state license in violation of the state Iiouor tax law, presumably under police or some other protection This state ment was made by Senator Raines at to-day's meeting of the special excise committee of the senate. Senator Raines is the author of the present ex- else law, which has raised over $11, ,00O,- 900 in revenue. He has investigated the subject and should know what he is talking about
 Senator Foley, the veteran Tammany legislator, asked Senator Raines if he meant to say that there were that num- Der of places in New York city that were receiving police protection in their violations of the Raines law Sem ator Raines replied: Yes. Undoubt- edly they are receiving police or some protection, for the violations in many cases openly exist"
 Another senator said: There is no doubt of the truth of Senator Raines' statement. I have it upon the author ity of one of the best known saloon keepers of New York city that the old system of levying tribute Is again in vogue. He told me the city had been divided into districts as formerly and that they were again paying tribute to the police caDtains.''
 The committee of which Senator Raines is chairman was appointed by the last senate to inquire into the work ings of the Raines liquor tax law and is to report suggested amendments. Senator Raines stated that many of the places in New York city and other parts of the state to the number of 7,- 900, including the clubs, which were op- erating in violation of the excise law, had a United States revenue license for which they paid $25.

The rescue was most hazar- dous undertaking Repeated attempts were made to reach the wreck but the sea was so rough that it was impossi- ble for a boat to live, At midnight, however, the waves began to abate and a boat from the steamer Wrott, with the greatest difficulty, reached the wreck
 The unfortunate sailors were almost exhausted and had to be assisted into the boat. Twelve men were transferred to the Wrott and the boat returned for the others, they, too, safely reach ing the steamer. making a total of thirty-five saved, eight having perished The wreck was watched by the people on shore, who kept huge bonfires blaz- ing all night and patrolled the beach to render all the assistance in their power, but all efforts to get a line off to the wreck were frultless The two parts of the San Benito lie in about the same position as last night.
