Also Says General Tracy Does Not Know
He is Alive.

New York, Nov. 1.-When Mr.. Crok-
er arrived at Tammany Hall to-day a
copy of speech made last night by
Aseernblyman Mazet was shown him,
in which Mr. Mazet was quoted as
saying that Mr.. Croker went to the
Consolidated Gas company when Am
sterdam Gas was quoted at 35 and
wanted to sell his stock at so, promis-
ing his support of the Astoria bill If
they would buy. We'll Mazet Is a
liar" said Mr.. Croker, and every other
person who says that Is a liar. And
you can say for me that Mazet is a
robber. Only robber would introduce
such bill as he did"
Mr. Croker was then shown a copy
of the statement made by General
Tracy before the Mazet committee that
if Mr. Croker had said though Gen

the firm of Tracy, Boardman & Platt

Croker with emphasis, Then he con-
tinued; Il don't think General Tracy
knows much about his firm. | think
the firm put him to sleep. General
Tracy is a nice old man and | don't
want to say anything against him, but
he does not know everything that is
going on. He is getting old and doesn't
know that he is alive. He is only in
the firm to lend a shade of respecta-
bility to it. The other two fellows are
the pets-young Platt and Boardman."

THE FERRYBOAT ACCIDENT.
Divers Recover silver Lost by the
Adams Express Company

New York, Nov. 1.-Two divers were
at work at the bottom Of the Hudson
river to-day searching the sunken
wreck of the ferryboat Chicago, while
above water the derricks of three
wrecking barges were tearing the super
structure from the main body. The
divers brought to the surface most of
the silver lost by the Adams Express
company. This evening nothing re-
manned of the ferryboat but the hull,
the machinery and the upper deck,
which was prevented from floating
away by the smokestack and walking
beam. The men were engaged in pass
ing a cable under the felryboat and
tomorrow the work of removing the
boat will begin Inquiry at the Penn

GERMANY NOT TO DUPED.
Not TO Play Into Frances Hands by
Medtlling I'm Roer War.

Berlin, Nov. 1.-The Neueste Mach
richten. in the course of an article vigil
lantly inspired, says: Germany has no
intention of playing into the hands of
France by intervening in the Transvaal.
She intends to pursue course of abso-
lutte neutrality"
Replying to the anti-Semetic, Pan
German outcry against the emperors
expected visit to England, the Neueste
Nachrichten remarks: Although Ger
mans individually may disapprove of
England's policy, the actions of the en-
peror must be dictated by Germany's
interests, which do not allow her un-
necessarily to arouse bad feeling in
England. 1t would be a great mistake
to prejudice German interests in South
Africa by a one-sided attitude in view
of the future reorganization of the po-
litical situation there. Moreover, the
great sea power and the great land pow
er have every reason to cooperate in
union and harmony"

Big FIRE NEAR WATERBURY,
TEN-TENEM ENT BLOCK IND EIGHT
HOUSES WIPED OUT.
Loss of 100000 1ncurred-Flre Broke
Out In simOnsyiIIe just Outside City
Limits-Fire Department Did Not Re
spond Until n Special Call Was Made
Sixty People Lost Their Homes.

Waterbury, Conn. Nov, IA fire
which started in the basement of a ten
tenement block in Simonsville, known
as the Platt block on Middle and Sim
pns streets, about o'clock tonight not
only resulted in the total destruction
of the block, but eight other houses
involving a loss of upwards of 100000
with less than $4,000 insurance. There
were no fatalities, however and a ten
year old boy was the only one at all
seriously burned.
The fire started in a tenement that
was being evacuated by Frank A.
Adams and family. When the fire was
discovered 1t was In the kitchen, but
the prevailing high winds soon carried
it to the floor above and the result was
that it rapidly spread through the en-
tire building. There was great ex-
element among the occupants in their
endeavor to save their furniture and
neighbors did everything to assist them
but the latter were soon Obliged to look
after their own effects as the flames
quickly spread to adjoining dwellings,.
Inasmuch as Simonsville is outside
the city limits the Waterbury fire de-
partment did not respond to the alarm
and it was not until they received a
special call that any of the engines
went to the fire. 1t is estimated that at
least two and one-half bours elapsed
after the fire started before any water
was used to check the flames By that
time the fire had consumed all the
houses on the west side of Middle street
where the PLAT" block was situated
and had been blown across to the east
side and two houses We're totally de-
stroyed. The houses were all two-story,
two-family structures and at least sixty
people lost their homes.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
but is believed to be accidental. The
prevailing high wind and lack of water
were chiefly responsible for the extern
sve confiagration.

BRITISH REVERSE At L4DYSMITH
Fuller Particulars from Gen. White

took out from Ladysmith a brigade of
mounted troops, two brigade divisions
of Royal Artillery, the Natal Field bat
terry, and two brigades of infantry, to
reconnoiter in force the enemys main
position to the north and, if the OPP
portunity should offer, to capture the
hill behind Farquhar's Farm which
had on the previous day, been held in
strength by the enemy In connection
with this advance column, consist
ing of the Tenth mountain artillery
four half companies of the Gloucesters
and six companies of the Royal Irish
Fusiliers, the whole under Lieutenant
Colonel Carlton and Major Adye, depu-
ty assistant adjutant general was de-
spatched at IL p. m. on the 29th to
march by night up Bells Spruit and
seize Nicholson's Mex, or some position
near Nicholson's Mex, thus turning the
enemy's right flank
THE main advance was successfully
carried out, the objective point of the
attack being found evacuated, and an
artillery duel between our field batter
les and the enemy's guns of position
and MaXims is understood to have
caused heavy loss to the enemy. The
reconnaissance forced the enemy to fully
disclose his position, and, after a strong
counter attack on our right by the in
fantry brigade and cavalry had been
repulsed, the troops were slowly with
drawn to camp, pickets being left on

but in considerable campaign we
must look out for such incidents. 1t is
not in the nature of Britons to take
much notice of them We have had
good many of the same kind and have
generally got out right in the end. But,
whatever happens, we must see this
thing through, even if it should cost
still more battalions and still more
millions. Some day there will be an
inquisition as to the preparations made
for this war but the time for that is
not now. Our duty now is to support
those who have the direction of at

stories. DR.. Brennan was called to at
tend him and after seeing the extent
of his injuries directed that he be sent

nights play. His average, however
was a little under four for the full
game. The attendance tonight was
over 400.
At first it looked as if the Wizard
was going to make close finish of it.
He picked up 8, 12 and after his first
miss and then got the ivories rolling
smoothly for him and rapidly clicked
off big run. AS the referees call grew

BRITISH OFFICIALS SPEAK.
The War Discussed by Lord Hamilton
and Earl Se1borne.

and Earl SelbOrn~.
London, Nov. Lord George Ham
ilton, secretary of state for India,
speaking at Ealing this evening regard
ing the situation in South Africa, said:
"Our ultimate victory Is certain; and
when the terms which we as victors
will PROPOSE to the vanquished are
known foreign nations will see that the
main cause which has forced us to en-
bark upon this conflict is not desire
of pecuniary profit or of territorial ag-
graudizement, but a determination to
emancipate a vast territory for the
common benefit of mankind, from an
ignoble and degrading tyranny"
The Earl of Selborne, under secretary
of state for the colonies, speaking at
Dumfries said "It is not the fault of
the statesmen of the Transvaal that we
have not become e'mbroiled with some
European power. If hostilities had not
come when they did, they would have
come at some moment of national dan
ger and difficulty"
Baron Tweedmouth former parlia-
mentary secretary to the treasury,
speaking at Edinburgh, said: The
public mind has not been so moved
since the news of the dreadful events
in the Indian mutiny. We, unfortu-
nately. are warning with a nation OF
the same stock and religion as our
selves At this critical time all hearts
go out to the brave Beers and to the
small British army in Natal, which,
against fearful odds, has performed
magnificent feats of valor. 1t is not the
time to call our opponents names or to
ritter cries of vengeance, but to back
I'D her majesty's ministers, who have
a fearful, yes an awful responsibility
,,non their shoulders The Earl of
Darlington, LIBERAL speaking at Buck
incbam. gave expression to virtually the
same convictions.
The Earl of Lonsdale, honorary col
mel of the Third Battalion Border regi-
meut, at a banquet this evening at
White Haven, declared his confidence
in General Sir George Stewart Whlte,
the British commander In Natal, and
predicted a grand review on the Pre-
toria in next March. Referring to En-
peror williams celebrated telegram to
president Kruger at the time of the fall
,,re of the Jameson raid, Lord Ions
dale said: If his majesty's despatch
had been rightly understood it would
have had a totally different effect. 1t
was sent with view of allaying two
sores. 1t was not antagonistic to Great
Rritain. / have the pleasure to know
+he views of the German emperor and
they are in accordance with the views
