these great liberty and self-government

No country, and this country least

II belong to a different political par
ty, but I should be false to my sense

establish a protectorate over them or

All these important questions will

LETTER
Has Incorporated the
New Company.
CROKER WITH HIM.
Total Capital $l7,ooo,oOO
for Air Power.
Especial Dispatch to The spy,)

Especial Dispatch to The spy
New York, Jan. 1.-THE International
Air Power Company, capitalized at
100000, and the New York Auto
Truck Company, capitalized at $10,-
100000, were incorporated at Trenton,
N. j., yesterday. The New York offices
of the two corporations are No. 259
Broadway.
Joseph Letter of Chicago, millionaire
and ex-wheat king, is very largely in
terested in both companies, and Rich
ard Croker, leader of Tammany, is at
the head of the auto-truck company.
The formation of these concerns holds
the attention of the public not only by
reason of the prominence of the incor-
porators, but by the new and extensive
departure in the manufacture of a
hitherto but little used force COM
modify in connection with a new mode
of street freight transfer.
Mr.. Letter seem confident of the sue
cess Of the venture and predicts the
ultimate downfall of the horse as a
motive power for trucking, not only
here, but all over the country. He was
seen last night, at the Waldorf Astoria,
and said:
Both companies are now a reality,
as the final move in the deal was made
today at Trenton, under the Jersey
state laws. expect before many days
have passed to have all trifing Access
series cleared away, and will commence
active operations at once. The plants
of the power company win be two in
number. one at the Wheelock engine
works at Worcester, the other at the
Rhode Island locomotive works, at
Providence.
IT cannot estimate the exact output
just at this moment. l can say, how
ever, that the entire manufacture for
some time will be used exclusively for
the auto-truck company. The object of
the latter company, 1 may add, is to
do away with the horse as a motive
power for the carrying of freight. Not
only here. but all over the country.
In my opinion. it will entirely revolu-
tionize the trucking systems of the
United States"

BEEF WAS GOOD.
Two officers Before War Board Have No
Fault to Find.

washington, Jan. 14-Maj. H. H.
Carlton, general on the STAFF of Gen.
Wilson and Frederick A. Smith, now
chief commissary of the department of
the lakes. and who inspected the first
cargo of beef landed at Santiago, were
the only witnesses before the commits
sion today. Both depicted the condi-
lions, the former as to Porto Rico and
the latter as to Cuba, in roseate colors,
and said there had been no material
complaint.
Mai Charlton, who opened the testi-
mony said the rations furnished were
exceptionally good, better than the
average. The food supplies were IN
spected thoroughly, and there was no
fault that could be found. OF course,
he said. there were a few cases where
everything was not in the best condi-
ton but only to the extent that natu-
rally and frequently occurs where there
are large quantities of meats.
He said he knew Of no complaints
of food. The refrigerated beef was ex-
cellent. He said at Chickamauga the
officers seemed to want more to teach
the men to march and shoot than to
train in sanitary matters, but not SO
much so as to give ground for com
plant
Capt. Smith testified that the beef
furnished at Santiago was excellent,
and that he never heard anything as
to chemical treatment until he read the
published charges.

SANK AT WHARF
Captain and Sixteen Men of
Bark Andelina Drowned.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 4.-The British
bark Andelina, 2345 tons of Nova SEQ
tia. Capt. G. w. Stating, sank last
night in % fathoms of water in front
of the ST. Paul mill wharf, and the
captain, mate and Is of the crew were
drowned.
The vessel came here days ago in
ballast from Shanghai. The ballast had
been discharged and che ship was ly-
ing at anchor waiting to be towed into
the docks. Last night g terrific gale
ragged on the bay, the wind blowing
36 miles an hour.
Two great boom logs were placed in
beside the Andelina, one on each side.
During the gale between ard O'Clock
this morning, one of the logs went
adrift, causing the snip to careen and
to capsize with very little warning to
the crew. The vessel was entirely
without ballast and the matches were
open. AL on board were caught like
rats in trap, and had no chance to es-
cape. The ship simply careened over,
the water flowed in the open matches
and she sank
At daylight this morning, the ship
was missed. Where she had been ly-
ing apparently secured at dusk the
night before, there showed but blank
of water The wreck which was strewn
about the bay, told of the vessels fate.
A large number of the crew were dis
charged yesterday or the loss of life
would have been far more appalling
The ship was to have commenced tax
ing on a cargo of wheat for Queens
town today, and was TO receive further
orders. Capt. Stating lived in Annap-
NJ G ond n widow and
three children. He was well known
in this port

BISHOP OF HAVANA.
He Directs That Church Hereafter Be
Maintained by Private Contributions.

Havana, Jan. 14.-The bishop of Ha-
vana, recognizing that under American
military rule the church cannot be
supported out of the public revenues,
issued circular letter today to the
priests of the different parishes, direct
ing that the church be hereafter main
tanned by private contributions.
The church is rich in Havana and poor
in other parts of the island. The re-
ligious orders, especially those occupy
ing the converts, are wealthy, but the
parishes in the interior are poor.
The bishop alludes in his circular to
the political revolution and the changes
in the position of the church and the
priests, who have no one else to help
them except members of the church.
Therefore, he adds, the priests must
impress upon their parishioners the ne
cessity of making contributions. He
also urges them to use produce, point
ing out that the aims are pure neces-
sity and not insist upon too much, or
unduly trouble the pensioners with
communications.
The bishop appreciates the generos-
ity of the Cuban people, understands
their poverty and suggests that the
priests address themselves first to the
wealthy. He also suggests renting
seats in the churches at three, five and
10 cents, and the establishment of
boxes for voluntary contributions The
bishop further advises the appointing
OF parish collectors. The Catholic
clergy, foreseeing for months past the
coming position of the church, has
adapted itself to the present conditions.
The bishop has not asked Gen. Brooke
to aid the church or to maintain the
former system. Finally, the bishop
announces that an apostolic delegate is
expected here. The new municipal
government took possession of the of
fee and records and assumed author
ity today.

NEW YORK TAX.
Croker Explains the Reason for its Enor-
nous Increase.

NOUS increase.
New York, Jan. 14.-The Evening
World prints an interview with Richard
Croker regarding the immense increase
in the assessed valuation of the real
estate of Greater New York, and the
prospective large tax rate of $3.50. Mr..
Croker is reported to have said:
Everybody knows that the big tax
alton is due to the consolidation Of the
five boroughs into Greater New York.
Everybody knows that all the outlying
cities and towns brought in under con-
solidation ran themselves into debt
clear uo to the limit just before the
consolidation, thus saddling the whole
burden upon the new city.
Why, those towns were on the verge
of bankruptcy, all of them The taxes
will be lighter than ever before after
this year, when the debt saddled OF
Greater New York by the extravaganza
of the several towns and cities consoli-
dated as the five boroughs is paid off
"Tammany is not to blame. Nearly
all these places were under other than
democratic rule before the consolida-
ton
Mr.. Croker was asked why, in view OF
the increased tax rate, Tammany was
increasing the salaries of city employ
ees. He said that the increase in sal
aries would not foot up more than
$4,000 altogether Mr.. Croker upheld
the increase of salaries on the ground
that with consolidation the work of
city officials was nearly doubled, and
that they deserved an increase over the
old standard.
He said further: Gust as soon as the
city gets out from under the burden
of debt bequeathed to 1t by the dying
administrations of the five boroughs,
when they were consolidated into
Greater New York, we shall be in shape
for rapid transit-and then We'll get
rand transit"

Above FEAST.
Republican City Committee Goes Through
the Act of Dissolution.

The republican city committee of 1898
held its dissolution meeting at repubii-
can headquarters last evening. The
year has been successful one, both
politically and financially, and it might
have been expected that the committee
would go out with flying colors. but it
was some time after the hour appointed
for meeting that the necessary quorum
made its appearance.
During the meeting there were six
teen members present, and the utmost
harmony prevailed. In fact 1t might
have been termed a genuine love feast,
the first of the kind ever held by this
committee. Not that there has been
universal bitter feeling between the
members, but Incidents, such as the
withdrawal Of Willie Higgins with his
tin kitchen, have not been conducive
to the utmost good feeling.
The meeting was called to order soon
after o'clock by Chairman Charles T.
Tatman- The secretary's minutes were
read for the last time by C. Herbert
De Fosse, after which Clarence d. Mix
ter, treasurer. submitted his report OF
the receipts and expenditures for the
year. This report showed that $1601
was received for the state campaign,
and $1450. 38 for the municipal cam
paign, and that a total Of $3108 So had
been expended during the two cam
paigns In recognition Of the services
of the chairman, William ]. Bragg Of
fered the following resolutions, which
were adopted unanimously:
I'VE, the members of the 1898 repub-
llcan city committee of Worcester, re-
alizing the great amount Of time and
work necessary for the chairman to
devote in carrying on successfully the
work of this committee; be it
Resolved, that we mutually appre-
ciate the energy and exertion our
chairman has exerted in carrying
through the campaign Of this fall, and
be 1t further
Resolved, that with the cooperation
of the chairman, the committee has had
a successful and congenial years COM
mittee work and association, and may
we wish our fellow leader very sue
cessful future
A rising vote of thanks was also ten
dered Harmon S. Hastings, who has
been the faithful clerk Of the commit
tee for the past two years. In thank
ing the members of the committee for
their expression Of appreciation of the
work he had accomplished Chairman
Tltman said that he had come to real
lie that to be a member Of the COM
mittee was thankless Job, at the best,
but that he had received the hearty CO.
operation of the members during the
year.
Cigars were provided by the chair
man and clerk in place Of the proven
blal Pipe of peace, and the members
remained after the meeting to recall
past memories and on the quiet talk
OF the work of the new committee,
which is to come into being next Wed
nesday evening. 1t Is probable that
the present headquarters will be re-
tanned by the new committee, and Il
seems probable that Walter f.. Glea-
SOB. member of the present commit
tee, will be the chairman for 1899.
At tire meeting last evening, a vote
was passed recommending Mr. Hast
ings as clerk to the new committee, and
he Will undoubtedly be selected TO
carry on the work he has SO ably done
in years past. -.

FUTILE ATTEMPTS.
Jealous Husband Tries to Xii His Wife,
Fa.her-in-Iaw and Then Himself.

V0dIouS rluSpanu RES 10 Nil his WlIe,
Father-in-Iaw and Then Himself.
Wakefield, Jan. 14.-With jealousy in
his heart as he afterward confessed,
Edgar Stathan made an unsuccessful
attempt tonight to end his wife Mary's
existence with a bullet from revol-
yer. He followed this act by trying to
shoot his father-in-law, John Adams,
and finally turned the weapon against
himself. which also proved futile. He
then ran out of his house with the in
tention of drowning himself, but
thought he would see his mother first
at her home at Melrose, where an hour
later he was arrested and brought back
TO the town. He will have a chance
on Monday to plead on a charge of at
tempting to murder.
Stathan is "a years old, and his wife
Il. while they have been married three
years, the past year not having been a
happy one. The shooting took place
In Mrs. Stathan's chamber, but the i'm
mediate circumstances attending It are
not as yet known. The bullet struck
Mrs. 5tathan behind the ear, but in
hicted only flesh wound. She will
recover. however.
