GREAT is CROKER.
Departure Of the Tammany Chieftain
the Occasion far the Greatest Dem.
0nstration Seen in Years---Paunce.
fOle and Reed Eclips ei.

New York, April 26-Richard Croker
sailed this morning aboard the Ameri-
can Line steamship New York. Save
for his sister, Mrs. Warren, Mr.. Croker
was unaccompanied.
When the Tammany chief reached the
pier half an hour before the big liner
pulled out of her berth he was met by
party of friends, who had come down
to pay "bon voyage" Mr.. Croker was
all smiles, and he nodded pleasantly to
as many as caught his eye. Then,
fianked by his immediate advisers, he
moved toward the gang plank. In
minute he had made the ascent and
stood on the main deck.
There was a hurried movement by
the awaiting politicians, who followed
up the incline, which strained under the
load. Mr.. Croker was soon pressed on
all sides and finally found his position
SO uncomfortable that he FASTENED into
the main saloon. The crowd behind
followed until he stood at the fcot OF
the stairway leading to the upper deck.
Up these went Mr.. Croker quickly, his
friends and political adherents right on
his heels. When the promenade was
reached he was again surrounded and
the reception that followed appeared to
give immense satisfaction to the de-
parting Tammanyite.
AS the time for the sailing of the
ship drew near the crush on the deck
where Mr.. Croker was holding his le-
wee became so great that it was with
difficulty that one could even elbow his
way to the central figure, hundreds OF
hands were thrust in front of Mr..
Croker and he grasped as many as it
was physically possible to do.
The whole ship appeared to be alive
with men and women. The saloon
passenger list contained some 300
names, and their friends, combined
with the assemblage of politicians,
made one of the biggest rushes ex-
perienced on a departing liner in many
a day
Arriving at Southampton Mr.. Crock
err will proceed directly to his place at
Vantage, where he has his racing
horses. Speaking of his stable, Mr..
Croker said before the sailing of the
ship:
81 can't tell just now what | shall
do in the racing line until | reach
England. have about 20 or Is horses,
six of which are yearlings. | have not
settled anything about engagements
for the big events except that Knick-
erbocker is entered for the Derby"
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador, who, with his family,
boarded the New York, was scarcely
recognized in the excitement and en-
thusiasm which attended the departure
of the Tammany leader.
Speaker Thomas B. Reed was also
a passenger for Southampton with his
family. A number of friends were at
the pier to wish him pleasant voyage,
but in the rush of Tammanyites they
were scarcely distinguishable.
Mr.. Reed said to reporter that he
was going abroad for vacation OF
about three months duration, and that
upon his return he would settle in
New York. He refused to discuss the
=
would talk with his fellow passenger,
Mr.. Croker, he said: ooh. we will prob
ably say how do you do to each

Philadelphia, April 26.-The cruiser
Raleigh which is TO take part in the
ceremonies incident to the unwilling Of
the Grant monument in Paramount
Park, on Thursday. reached her an
chorage off Race street wharf to-day. Z
Mayor Ashbridge, the Council Commit
tee on the unwilling and number OF
distinguished citizens met the cruiser
below the city and escorted her to the
anchorage A large fleet of steamers
followed in the wake, blowing their
whistles constantly, to which noise was
added the welcome from factory bells
and whistles on both sides of the Della
ware river.
When the procession reached League
Island navy yard the Raleigh fired
salute of fifteen guns to Admiral Casey,
commandant of the yard, to which the
navy yard responded. A brief stop was
made during which the Raleigh's COM
mander went ashore and paid his re-
spects to Admiral Casey and Captain
Clark, captain of the yard,
The President and party will arrive
tomorrow morning.
Following the unwilling the Presi-
dent will attend a banquet at the Union
League and later in the evening will
attend a public meeting at the Academy
OF Music He will make no speeches.
The military display tomorrow will
consist of the National Guard of Penn
sylyania, crew of the Raleigh, marines
and sailors from League Island, several
New Jersey regiments and a number OF
private military organizations. On
Friday there will be a demonstration
on the river, when President Mckinley
in honor OF the Raleigh and her crew,
will pay a visit to Captain Coghlan.
Washington. April 26.-President
Mckinley has almost completely re-
covered from his attack of neuralgia,
and this morning he took half hours
walk on Pennsylvania avenue. He
was unaccompanied. He walked leis-
urely, and upon his return to the
White House felt much refreshed.
There is no change in his plan 10 att
tend the unwilling of the Grant mons
ument in Philadelphia tomorrow
Captain Coghlan win be in COM
mand of the Raleigh when President
Mckinley pays his visit OF state to the
cruiser at Philadelphia next Friday.
1t has been determined that prior TO
the ceremonial visit, IL at all, no
change shall be made In the COM
mand as the result Of the utterancea
of Captain Coghlan. The President
takes the ground that 1t would be an
unkind and unwarranted reflection
upon the officers and crew of the ship
to abstain from paying the visit
which had been arranged for and oc-
cupies a prominent place on the pro-
gramme.
The case OF Captain Coghaan may
be considered as finally closed. Tho
German ambassador called at the
White House this afternoon and had q
conference on the subject with the
President OF such satisfactory nature
that the matter was regarded as set
tied. During the day the Navy De-
partment administered 10 Capt. Cogh-
Ian the reprimand which had been de-
cided upon yesteSday, az stated In
these dispatches. This was in the form
of letter from Secretary Long to the
officer. 1t is stated at the department
that the letter will not be made pub
lie before the officer has received IL
and probably not then.

of the department did not care to dis
cuss the situation in the absence OF Of
fetal dispatches, but the feeling seemed
to be that the American forces were
meeting more resistance than antici-
pated.
Secretary Alger said there had been
no change in the program not to call
for the $4,000 volunteers authorized by
the act of March 2.

Washington, April 26-The publica-
ton of Admiral Kautz's letter refer
ring to his position at Samoa caused
absolute CONSERVATION at the Navy and
State Departments at first reading, but
there was soon exhibited disposition
to minimize the affair because it was
clearly apparent that the letter was
nothing more than a strictly private
communication passing between men,
bers of the same family. The letter
was brought to the attention of the
President and some sort OF a reminder
may be sent to the officer to be more
careful in his correspondence. The
spirit of fun in the letter appealed to
some of the Diplomatic officials, who
laughed heartily over Kautz's descrip-
ton of the young kings makeup, and
this amusing feature largely Offset any
irritation which might have been felt
over the criticisms contained in the
letter. The impression prevailed, how
ever, that the Navy Department would
deal with the indiscretion in such a
way as it deserved.

Cincinnati, O., April ga letter
written by Rear Admiral kautz to
his cousin, Mrs. Charles N. Lindley,
of Cincinnati, has been made public
by the recipient. 1t is dated March
%, and is in the easy vein of rela-
tive's correspondence. In the letter
he says: "You will probably read a
lot of stuff about me in various news
papers, but I can assure you that 1
am all right and have done nothing
that l or my friends may be ashamed
of, unless it is the making of a king,
which | was obliged to do to-day.
But he is very inoffensive sort of a
young fellow, native, 10 years OF age.
He wears a French admirals cooked
hat, but no shoes or stockings or trous-
ers; still, considering the torrid
weather, he looks very we'll in this
climate. But l hardly think he would
look as well on Fourth street, Cincin-
natl. l am not a king here, but just
plain ''boss of the ranch" The Ger
man consul had that position up to
my arrival. hut since then he has been
a very silent partner. l am very
much afraid he does not like me-in
fact, | am not at all popular here with
the Germans. But l am all right with
the English, and hope to pull through
with them. l have no doubt of being
sustained by the government in all |
have done. l hope to get away from

will not be in San Francisco before
the middle of May.
