HILLS SUSPENDED.

Horace B. Hlls, Jr., has at last been sus-
pended pending investigation by the T.. A.
W. racing board. For the last two years
Hills has teen under frequent Investigations
but has so far come off free. He was charged
this spring with receiving money in the New
port road race. He won some diamonds in
this race, which the manager did not give
him, even after many demands. Learning
that the manager was about TO leave the state
Hills had him arrested, and instead of hand.
ing over the diamonds he gave Hills some
500 in cash. This was put in the hands Of
Harold Congdon. When the racing board
found out these facts the matter was
dropped. Ellis has been under suspicion
from the fact tnat he rode one make Of wheel
all the season. He has recently made a
change in his tires, and it is probable that the
racing board are try ing TO find out his con.
nection with the tire manufacturers
Since Hills is way up at the head OF the
amateurs Of New England he has attracted
tho attention OF the board, but n he IL de.
cisrcd pro hc can no doubt hold his place
among the fast New Englsnders.

BROWN TEAM AT PRACTICE.
Coach MOyle G:tting Best Work Possibl.

The football practice yesterday afternoon
was hard and fast, and Coach Moyle is evil

man. The team was not out in full strength,
rs Fultz is still out, but hopes TO be ready
for the Indians. Meendy is on the field
again. but has not put on his uniform yet and
! he looks badly. Murphy was not in the line
up today, Washburn taking his place.
Richardson was again in charge OF the second,
though at first the Varsity lined up against
the freshmen. During the short time played
eaoh team made n touchdown and the fresh
msi kicked the goal. while Hall failed In an
easy goal, leaving the score to in favor OF
the freshmen. The freshmen kicked and the
Varsity soon scored on n couple OF exchanges
OF kicks and gains OF Croker, Hapgood and
Gammons, the latter making the best gains
and carrying the ball over. After the next
kick off tho freshmen recovered the ball, and
by steady rushes got TO within about eight
yards of the goal, and from that point Cathro
took the ball across on tackle play, aided
by good interference. After kicking the goal
the freshmen left the held to be replaced Ivy

them and they could not cross the line. Hap

the Varsity. Hapgood is showing great i'm

MARYLAND REPUBLICAN.

Baltimore, Nov. IAN Official count
OF the ballots cast on Tuesday last. made
in most OF the counties, leaves no further
room for doubt that the Republicans
have control OF both branches of the
legislature. and that Republican will
succeed Arthur p. German in the United
States senate. Five members Of the as
sembly and one senator were taken from
the Democratic list of probabilities and
added TO that Of the Republicans. Three
Of the members and the senator are from
Talbot county and one member each
from Prince Georges and Carroll This
gives the Republicans 40 members i'm the
house and leaves the Democrats but AZ.
Ii also gives the Republicans IS senator's
20 eight for the Democrats, and a ma
Jority on joint ballot Of IL.
The result in Talbot county arose from
the fact that Is votes in Tilghman pre-
cihct were found to have been counted
twice for the Democratic ticket. The
correction gave the Republican legisla-
tive candidates majorities ranging from
16 TO 10 votes. In Prince Georges a simi-
lar correction elected Underwood Rep)
by four votes, while In Carroll the re-
count showed that Stansbury (Rep.) de.

doubtful votes in Montgomery and
Washington counties also went into the
Republican column.
Chairman Vandiver OF the Democratic
committee said last night: We have
not given up our expectation of con-
trolling the house. whether we have a
majority on joint ballot or not. The
Democratic candidates who have been
defeated in the close counties have been
in many instances noted as anti-Gorman
men, while in the same counties the Cor
man men have been elected. In one or
two instances which could specify these
men were cut simply because they were
not believed 10 be German men. This
shows that the anti-Gorman outcry did
not hurt the Democrats in the counties.
for there the senator has always had
his stronghold. To large extent am
more convinced than ever by the result
OF this election that the anti-Gorman
sentiment Is almost entirely confined to
the city of Baltimore. and that the Dem
ocrats Of the counties are measurabiy
free from il. In my opinion even IL IL
should turn out that the senator Is de-
feated he is stronger today i'm the coun-
try districts of-the state than he ever
was"

Mr.. CrOker'S Estimate of
Greater New York.
A LONDoNER'S VIEW OF IT
Aftermath OF Fight With the Weapon
Of Citizenship.
CLAIMS OF THE OHIO LEADERS.

London. Nov. 5.-An Engr,shman who
does not cherish totally gloomy view
OF the result of the recent election In
greater New York Is William Il. Stead.
the well-known newspaper man who
recently figured in the public eye here as
the sponsor OF Richard Croker because
OF his somewhat fiattering pen portrait
OF the Tammany chieftSin. and who can
discern gleam of hope of good govern
ment piercing the clouds under which
the citizens OF the United States are. in
some quarters, said to be buried Mr..
Stead gave his views to a representative
of the press In the original phrases which
characterized his utterances.
Mr.. Croker it appears. while convers-
ing with Mr.. Stead, predicted that the
Tammany majority would be 100000.
adding: IF j were To run for mayor I
should want all the newspapers against
me-" Mr.. Croker added, says Mr.. Stead:
IF you intend to write about me, please
cay that Tammany must give New York
the best government il ever had. New
York is the ideal city OF the world. and
that is the future watchword for Tam
many"
MIR. Stead continued: "It Is a great
vindication of Tammany and Croker, and
gives them a wonderful opportunity.
though II does not wipe out the slate of
the past. Nothing could erase the
Lexow revelations. but many men who,
in struggling 10 the front, sometimes

would be superior to such temptations
after having achieved position. Becky
Sharpe said, 1T is easy to be virtuous on
q thousand year. Tanmany and
Croker have the thousand a year The
election must give great impetus to
Bryanism."
About the election generally, Mr.. Stead
was quite cheerful. saying: The Chi
cago platform minus the nonsense about
free silver-if that is what Tammany's
victory means-won't scare the Eng
l.sh. To most of us in the old country
your plutocrats seem a much greater
menace to the commonwealth than the
Democrats. even IL they do swear by
Croker and Tammany hall. The Re
publican campaign fund staggered us
much more than the victory of Van
Wyck." tf
