TRACY BEFORE THE PRoBERS.
Ex-Cabinet Omcial Talks About the
Ramapo Water Company.

Ex-Cabinet Omcial Talks About the
Ramapo Water Company.
New York, Nov. 1.-The Mazet inves-
tigatlng committee resumed its hear
ings yesterday. General Benjamin F.
Tracy was the chief witness called.
General Tracy said in answer to Mr..
Moss questions that he was president
of the Ramapo Water company in 1895,
and that he had never received a COM
pensation except $50 chares of stock,
which he has since sold. He had notn-
ing to do with the drafting of any part
of the charter relating to water supply.
Among the reasons he gave for re-
signing the office of president of the
company was that he felt that no com
pany would advance the necessary
capital to develop it so long as one
man, Mr.. Lamont. who had induced
him to become a shareholder, retained
control. In addition he said the news
papers had begun to abuse him and
to vilify him for his partnership with
Senator Platt's SON. 81 though that as
a whole" he said, 81 would not take the
responsibility of being the head of a
company that, however honest it
might be. would be abused if it made
a contract with the city"
In order to ascertain just how much
money the law firm of Tracy, Board
man & Platt received from city cor
porations and public departments and
city officials, Committeeman Hoffman
requested that Mr.. Tracy produce the
books of the firm. This General Tracy
said he would not do unless the com
mittee requested, and Chairman Mazet
refused to make such a request.

Commissioners Make Light of Il SPAN
ish Ohiciai's Claim.
Madrid, Nov. Ia sensation was
caused in the senate yesterday by the
declaration of Count d'Almenas that.
owing to the ignorance of the Spanish
American peace treaty commissioners,
three islands in the Philippine group,
the two Batanes and Calayan islands,
both north of Luzon, were not included
in the scope of the treaty. Those lis
ands, he asserted. ought to be made
the basis of negotiations for the liberia
tiOn of the Spanish prisoners.
Washington, Nov. 1.-The islands IN
the Philippines group referred to in the
Madrid dispatch are not regarded by
the members of the Philippine commits
sion of any importance, and no regret,
they say, need be felt if the statement
should prove correct The opinion was
expressed by one of the commissioners
that the islands referred to are not
worth negotiating for, as they would
not be of any material benefit. They
are not thickly populated and their
commerce is small

mense crowd had assembled. The

address Of the day, and was followed
by Secretary Long.
The launching which followed was
great success, the boat being christen-
ed by little Miss Carrie Shubrick, of
Rocky Mount. N. c., great grandniece
of Commodore Shubrick, with the
usual formaiities. 1t was a side
launching, but the boat took the water
like a duck amid enthusiastic cheer
ing and the footing of steam whistles
After the launching the president
and party took a drive through the
city, stopping a while at the executive
mansion to pay their respects to the
governor and his family. On the presi-
dents return to the Jefferson he held
another formal reception, and left for
