Messrs. Fitch and Fafrchfld on the
New York City Contest.

Messrs. Fitch and FafrchiId on the
New York City Contest.
Two candidates for controller of New
York are at the Arlington, Ashabel P
Fitch and Charles F. Fairchild. Mr.. Fitch
is here on some private business, while
Mr.. Fairchild is here to attend the meet
ing of the monetary commission, of which
he Is member. In talking about the
stories publishtd in the New York morn
ing papers today that he was going to re-
tire or be retired from the citizens union
ticket as candidate for controller, Mr.
Fairchild said there was no truth In the
statement so far as he was concerned Nor
was there anything in the stories about his
name being removed from the citizens
ticket. He laughed at the story published
in one of the papers that he would decline
to run on the George ticket, but would
remain on the citizens ticket because he
said that ne had not been nominated by
the George men. who had put Col. Waring
on their ticket for controller and therefore
he could not decline to run on that ticket.
In speaking about the Endorsement by the
George faction of the citizens union county,
borough and assembly tickets Mr.. Fair
child said that he did not see there was
any objection to this action, because it
was simply putting the names of the citi-
Zens' county ticket in the columns of the
George city ticket, and it meant a gain of
votes for the excellent ticket which the
'c1uZens hdd put up. What we are all
after is votes' said Mr. Fairchild. land /
see nc harm in getting all the votes pos
s,ble for the county ticket
Mr.. Fairchild expects to return to New
York this afternoon, and says he is going
to enter the canvas at once and work hard
for the success of the citizens ticket. MIR.
FaircEild did not care to make any pre-
diction or express an opinion as to the
situation, for he said the fight had only
begun and things were still in a very mixed
condition. >" 49,. .'rf
Mr.. Fitch iE talking about affairs in New
York said: The situation in New York
Is both interesting and amusing. I think,
however, that the events of this week
may clear 1t up somewhat. At any rate,
by the end of the week 1 believe it will be
determined whether there will be five
tickets in the field whether the
democrats and republicans will harmonic
their discordant factions" When asked
what element were working to such an
eEd he replied: Il can hardly talk upon
that but forces are at work now in both
parties to bring it about

Finance, Hawaii and Cuba Awaiting Legis-
lation.
Senator McLaurin on the Outlook for

Fight Over the Currency.

Senator McLaurin of South Carolina, who
was in Washington for a short time Satur-
day has entirely recovered from the attack
of illness which in the summer seemed to
thre aten his life, and is apparently in the
best of health. His victory over all rivals
retains him in the Senate.
Speaking with Star reporter of the out
look for the approaching session of Con-
gress, he said that he thought that the
financial question, Hawaii and Cuba would
keep Congress very busy. He said he did
not think there was any likelihood OF war
between the United States and Spain. The
outcome of the Cuban trouble would be, In
his opinion, the complete Independence OF
Cuba from Spain and the ultimate annexa-
ton of Cuba to the United States through
the legislative action of an Independent
legislature of Cuba. He thought that the
recall of Weyler was the first move IN
process of letting go winch SPAN is
about to inaugurate- Spain, he salu, coulu

session of Cuba would be an expensive and
very unsatisfactory thing. The expense
