BOSS CROKER HoUNDLY KISSED.
A Significant and Sensational Incident at n
Tammany Rally.


New York, Oct. 2S.-Richard Croker
was roundly Kissed tonight at the first
great meeting of Tammany Hall which
he has attended during the campaign,
and the Kisses were given under cir
cumstances which made the incident
border on the sensational. The affair
occurred at the meeting arranged for
by Mr.. Croker in honor of Carter Har-
rison, mayor of Chicago; Mayor Har-
rison's cabinet, number of the demo-
cratic members of the Chicago alder
manic board and three hundred men,
bers of the Cook county democracy.
Mayor Harrison was on the platform
when the kissing took place, and the
Chicago delegation occupied front seats
in the body of the hall.
Owing to the repeated Interruptions
at Tammany gatherings here care was
taken to keep Henry George shouters
out of the hall.
The former ambassador to France,
James B. Eustis was cheered when he
arose to speak and during the delivery
of his speech he was literally applaud
ed. The Chicago men were warmly
greeted by the crowds in the galleries.
There was renewed cheering when
Mayor Harrison appeared on the plat
form, accompanied by Richard Croker,
The most remarkable thing which has
ever occurred at Tammany Hall meet
ing took place just then.
Some one called for three cheers for
Richard Croker. The response was a
storm of Kisses that swept over the
hail. Not a cheer was given, and the
man who called for them thought that
he would try again. In a very loud
voice he called again for three cheers
for Croker There was a feeble re-
sponse this time, but the cheers were
drowned by kissing Croker heard the
expressions of disapproval for himself
Then he retired to a seat away back on
the stage,

Russia, Japan and This Country Practi

Russia, Japan and This Country Practi-
cally Agreed Upon Plan.
Washington, Oct. 2S.-In reliable quar-
ters it is stated that the conference be-
tewen Russia, Japan and the United
States now proceeding here in reference
to sealing in the Bering sea and the
north Pacific, has advanced to an i'm
portant stage and that proposition has
been reduced to writing which, if ac-
cepted, will bring about complete
change in the sealing question. The
proposition is said to be acceptable to
the United States. 1t is understood to
be acceptable similarly to the Russian
delegates now here, but in view of the
restrictions placed upon them by their
credentials, it has been thought desir
able to cable to st. Petersburg for final
Instructions.
The Japanese delegates are under
stood to have felt at first that the pro-
position would not be in their interests,
but on fuller conference Mr.. Fugita de-
termined TO cable the substance of the
proposition to his government accom-
panying it with a recommendation of
it's acceptance.
Little doubt Is entertained that Rus
sia will accept the proposition and in
view of Mr.. Fugita's recommendation
1t is believed that Japan will also join
in it. The greatest secrecy is preserved
in all official quarters as to the nature
of the proposition, but it is not officially
admitted that any proposition has been
made.
From equally reliable sources 1t is
understood that the proposition has a
far reaching scope and provides for the
material limitation or entire suspension
of pelagic sealing or sealing on the high
seas. Such a decisive step, If agreed to
bv Russia, Japan and the United States
would, it is understood, not involve
any concerted move to menace the
claims of Great Britain and Canada tc
the right of pelagic sealing on the high
seas but would rather be q proposition
expressive of the conclusions of three
most interested powers that, in the in
terests of humanity and the preserva-
ton Of the seal herds of their respective
governments, all nat1ons, including
Great Bratain and her colony, Canada
should unite with Russia, the United
States and Japan in such effective pre-
vention of pelagic sealing on the higt
seas as it will put an end to it, thereby
securing the preservation Of the seals.

THE REPLY or SPAIN,
1t Will be Laid Before the Cabinet Meet
ing To-day.

AhS AO-uays
Washington, Oct 2S.-The Spanish re-
ply to Minister Woodtord's note con-
cerning Cuba will be laid before the
cabinet at the regular meeting to-mor-
row. Meanwhile the members OF the
cabinet have not seen the message. 1t
has been, however, talked of informal
ly between the president and several of
the cabinet ministers and it may be
stated positively that the administra-
ton regards the note, so far as it's ten
or is revealed by the abstract, as being
conciliatory and not calculated to breed
an issue.
1t can also be stated that gratifica-
tion is felt that the answer was forth
coming within so short period of time
after the delivery Of Mr.. Woodfords
note, having regard to the intervention
of the Spanish cabinet crisis and
change. The acts already performed
by the new cabinet towards correc-
tion Of some Of the evils of which are.
complained of in Cuba, are regarded as
an earnest Of the intention of the Span
ish government to faithfully carry out
the entire reform programme and it
there should be a speedy a.lleviation Of
the frightful condition of the unfortu-
nate Cubans, a prompt revocation Of
Weylers concentration order, it is felt
that our government will have little
further to ask.

GRACE Won IN ACTU.IL TIME.
The Cat Boat Races Held by the Yacht
Club Yesterday,

A catboat race was held by the New
Haven Yacht club yesterday, and al
though on account of the wind the time
was slow, the race proved a most intac-
esting one. The race was won by the
Grace in actual time, but by the Mon

seconds. The starters were as follows:
Castenia, owned by Messrs. Coxeter and
Basserman; Monsoon, owned by Mr.. r.

UPROAH IN THE EEICHRATH.
Herr Locker Began to Speak at 11:5O Last
Night and May be Still at 1t.

Vienna, Oct. 20, a. m.-The reichrath
has had another stormy night session.
The leaders of the German parties pro-
tested against the policy, adopted on
the suggestion of DR.. Kramerez, the
acting president, Of discussing motions
for the impeachment of the ministry
at the morning sittings and Of devoting
the evening to the bill for the extension
of the compromise with Hungary for
year. They protested against it as a
violation of the standing orders Of the
house and of the Austrian constitution,
and amid loud applause from the left
and the socialist seats they declared
that would continue to resist with all
their might the decree authorizing the
official use of the Czech language in
Bohemia
The vice president declined to allow
a motion for the impeachment of the
cabinet with reference to the renewal
of the sugar bounty law and called
upon the house to proceed to discuss
the compromise bill. This provoked an
angry tumult, rendering debate impos.
sible.
The vice president suspended the sit
tings for ten minutes. When 1t was re-
sumed Herr Lecker tried to address
the chamber, but Herr Wolff, the Ger
mn LIBERAL clamored for vote on a
motion to close the sitting, and, being
ignored by the vice president began to
thump upon his desk violently This
chaotic state of things continued for
half an hour when Herr Wolff declared
that, as the vice president refused to
hear him, he would proceed without
permission.
The result was that Herr Lecker and
Herr Wolff were speaking simultane-
ously, the former almost inaudibly and
the latter at the top of his lungs. Final
ly Herr Lecker moved that the sitting
should be closed on condition that if
the house rejected this motion he should
be allowed to continue his speech. This
vote was taken and the motion to close
the session rejected.
Herr Lecker resumed his speech at
1850 a. m. last evening and ne was
still speaking at 2:3O o'clock this morn
ing.

ELAHEnrY cor rnE DECISION.
The Fight at Bridgeport Had an Unsatis-
factory Ending.

factory Iinuing.
Bridgeport, Oct. 2S.-An audience OF
at least twelve hundred people saw the
first event under the auspices of the
Horizon Athletic club here tonight.
The first go on the programme was
bout between Harry Jamison (colored
of Bridgeport and Dan Murphy of Wa
terbury. Jamison battled only ten sec
onds and then quit.
The next event was q ten-round go
between Sammy Meyers of New York
and Joe Kelly of Troy. The fight was
a hot one, and the audience was eXas-
perated when the decision was awarded
in favor of Meyers by Referee Charles
White of New York. Opinion seemed
to be that Kelly had the best of it all
through. 1t is alleged that Meyers
fouled a number of times, but the ref
cree failed to admit it.
The star event of the evening was the
bout between Martin Flaherty of Low
ell, Mass, and Danny Mcbride of New
York. This was announced to be a fif-
teen-round go. In point of science Nc
Bride was away ahead of Flaherty, but
ne did not have the staying powers. In
the second round F'laherty committed
(unintentionally) foul and was warm
ed by Referee White. After that Fla
herty was mare careful
In the tenth round Flaherty had Nc
Bride going, and in-fighting became SO
close that they clinched and the referee
went in to separate them. AT that time
one of McBride's seconds went into the
ring and interfered and then the ref
cree gave the decision to Flaherty. 1t
is the opinion, however, that Mcbride,
but for the interference, would have
stayed in the fight for the full number
of rounds.

WHEAT AGAIN GOES no 81.
Market Strong and Predictions of S1.25
Are Heing Made.

Are beinS Maue.
New York, Oct. 2S.-For the second
time this season December wheat has
reached the dollar mark in New York.
The last time it sold at that figure was
on September IA. Since that time it has
been as low as 9OB, on October 4. To-
days advance was based on very bull
ish home conditions offsetting the rath-
er unpromising cables. There was ac-
tive local covering and renewed out
side investment purchases, interspersed
with free realizing in the afternoon.
Not until the closing gong stroke did
December reach 81, although several
times previously it sold at 997s and
even 80 1916. The final sale naturally
created more or less excitement all over
the floor where it had been awaited
anxiously for half an nour before the
close.
So strong is the situation both at
home and abroad regarded by local
bulls that they do not hesitate to pre-
dict $125 as legitimate price level in
New York. Stocks at all interior points
are exceptionally light with little pros
poets for expansion, besides which crop
news, owing to drought east of the
Mississippi has lately been decidedly
ragged.
To-day's news included bullish Aus
tralian crop reports, information that
French stocks were light at all points
and strong Antwerp quotations. Sea-
board wheat and flour clearances were
again very large, suggesting six mil
lions from both coasts for the week.
December opened lower at 9S1s on ac-
count of cables and advanced steadily
to 81 at the close. Total sales were
4,275,000 bushels.

Fighting in India.

London, Oct 29.-The Daily Chroni-
Gle prints this morning a sensational
telegram from Bombay which says:
There is much speculation here as
to the reasons for the withdrawal of
the second battalion, Royal Irish regi-
ment, from Samana to Rawalpindi. 1t
is asserted, on one hand, that the men
sulked at the critical moment and re-
fused to march further. On the other
hand, Colonel Lawrence says that the
two companies were at the front with
the other troops on the day in ques-
ton, While the remaining companies
were retired by order of a staff officer"

Princeton, N. j., Oct 2S.-A son and

to-day at u o'clock. Rumor has it that
the newcomer resembles his father, but
neither Mr.. Cleveland nor the family

baby other than he is getting along
nicely and is fine boy"
All the afternoon Mr. Cleveland has
received at his home the many callers
who wished to pay their respects to
him in honor of the occasion. Some
have congratulated the ex-president
personally, but many preferred to leave
| their cards with congratulations and
best wishes for mother and son.
| Prominent among those who called
were Mrs. Cornwall, Mrs. Hibben, Mrs.
M. T. Payne, Miss Patton and Profess
sor Andrew West. kilograms of con-

Among the first to proffer congratulate
tions by wire were Joseph Jefferson, E.
G.. Benedict, Secretary Thurber and J.
G.. Carlisle. Princeton undergraduates
have taken great interest in the new
Princetonian.
The fact that Cleveland heir was
born was announced during the Var
sity practice this afternoon. There
was big gathering Of undergraduates
on the field watching the Varsity and
scrub teams practice. When the an
nouncement was made three Princeton
cheers were given for the boy, three for
the mother and three more for the
father. 1t is probable that the under
graduates will serenade Mr.. Cleveland
and his heir at some future date.
On the college bulletin board in front

REFORMS FOR CUBI.
Outline of Plan Said to be Approved by tho
Spanish Cabinet.

Madrid, Oct. 2S.-The following re-
forms for Cuba, it is understood, have
been formally passed upon and APPROX
ed by the Spanish cabinet:
The Cuban chamber of deputies is to
consist of between forty and fifty men,
bers, deputy for each forty thousand
inhabitants. The governor general IS
to choose from this chamber five mem
bers to form an executive committee,
consisting of president, and ministers
of the interior, finance, justice and pub

Philadelphia, Oct. 2S.-Dr. Jose Con-
gosto, who for number Of years has
been Spanish consul at Philadelphia,
and who was recently appointed secre-
tary general of Cuba, will sail for Ha-
vana on Saturday. DR.. Congosto states
that the plan of autonomy proposed by
Spain for Cuba will result in the ter
mination of the war in a short time.
In speaking Of the subject, DIR. Con-
gosto to-day said:
'If this plan OF autonomy had been
put into effect year ago, l think the
revolution would soon thereafter have
| been ended and all the lives and prop
erty which have been since destroyed
| would have been saved. OF course
there will be considerable opposition to
| it in some quarters, but l believe that
the insurgents will soon realize that
the best thing they can do will be to
accept it.

harsh and arbitrary methods? The
governing factor, in my policy, shall be
| llberality and fairness toward every
one. have many friends among news
paper men in this country and hope
to make friends of other American
newspaper men in Cuba.
"All the information I possess which
can be consistently made public will
| be at their disposal, and so far as 1 can
prevent it there shall be no more of
| that dog-like treatment which I am
told has been accorded some of them
'"rhe entire policy of the new govern
ment will be dominated by liberality anG
| fairness. The reforms to be instituted
are going to be genuine in every feat
ure and the policy of harshness that
has hitherto prevailed in the govern
ment of the island will be swept away
without delay"
DR.. Congosta said that the plan OF
autonomy would probably be put into
effect in Cuba in about a month.
