GIGANTIC COLONIZATION
BY Tammany in Qusens County Is the Latest
Move Reported.

New York, Oct. 21.-After a confer
ence today, between Chairman II. C.
johnson of Kings county, and Chair
man Lemuel T.. Quigg of New York
county, statement was given out at
Republican headquarters here that
Tammany has caused gigantic colonial
tlon IN Queens county. 1t was also said
that Contractors Sheehan and O'Brien
who have contracts amounting to So
100000. are rushing the work in Queens
county and that all the laborers have
registered. The total registration in
the borough of Queens is $3.50.
The announcement that Mayor Har-
rison of Chicago, is coming here to
speak in behalf of Judge Van Wyck,
the Tammany nominee for mayor, is
not received with favor even by the
Tammany sachems. From the outsent
the Republicans have been criticised
by the Democratic managers and the
leaders and newspaper supporters of
the Citizens Union movement, for i'm
porting campaign speakers, notably
among whom We're Senators Foraker
and Thurston. The acceptance of
Mayor Harrisons tender of services is
regarded as a qualification of the
Democratic position on the subject. Col.
w. L. Brown gave voice to the dissent
in the sentiment. today, when he said:
Il wrote to Mr.. Sheehan, some little
time ago, protesting against any
scheme of this kind. 1 have received
letter from Mr.. Sheehan in which he
said that he entirely agreed with me
in the stand 1 had taken. 1t is bad
politics. unnecessary and illtimed to
bring Mayor Harrison to New York.
who, then" Col. Brown was asked,
"is responsible for Carter Harrison's
visit if Ny. Sheehan did not favor it?"
That" he replied, Il leave you to
conjecture"

shire college team will line up against

team for the remainder of the fall.

Brunswick, today, and will coach the
Varsity for the next few days. Libby
played end on the Varsity during his
college course, and is acknowledged to
be one of the best and Quickest play

creditable showing which it made in

actor, addressed the $50 convicts
in the State prison Sunday morning.
Despite his seventy-nine years he

enthusiasm and kindliness as ever,
and his talk, which took the place
of the customary sermon, was bright
and full of interest.
He took no text, he pointed no
moral, but never was a more force
full temperance sermon delivered. He
gave his hearers the very soul of his
own immortal Grip Van Winkle"-
the story of the storm, the wild
flight up into the heart of the Cats

her remorse for her sharp tongue;
that last fiery draught and the sleep

sGAkyESz,ON,S DECEPzYLlN.
Daily STATES.
It is quite probable that IN the
future the announcement of the ap-
pearance Of dengue fever IN Cal
weston will be received by the
whole country with wink and q
grin. Yesterday. while Judge
Stewart was delivering an opinion
on the bench, he was attacked by
the s'Galveston dengue. and fell in
q faint to the floor. Information
has been received in this city to the
effect that great many of the pa
tients sick with the fever in that
city are in very critical condition.
Galveston has made desperate at
tempt to conceal the fact that there
is yellow fever there, and has re-
sorted to all kinds of deception to
impress the outside world with the
idea that nothing but mild form
of dengue prevails there. This was
done, of course, to obtain COM
mercial advantage, but it often
happens that Yellow Jack, while
gentle in the beginning, suddenly
turns in and commences to: kill
people, and then it is absolutely
impossible to conceal his presence
any longer.
This the health authorities of
Galveston will attempt to do, how
ever, by giving no publicity to the
deaths that may occur, but there
are enough honest people in that
city to prevent the suppression of
the truth. 1t was through residents
of Galveston writing to friends and
relatives in this city that the
Louisiana Board of Health was
first informed of the presence of
yellow fever in that city and this
information resulted after the re-
fusai of DR.. Fisher to allow an ex-
pert from New Orleans to examine
the fever there, in DR.. Guiteras,
the government expert, being or
dered to Galveston by Surgeon
General Wyman.
