 Bryan realized this that he fell He
 did it as delicately as he could, but in
 the language of Tammany, fHe seen his duty and he done it'
 The story goes that he sent word to 1 Croker that he was willing to get away from Is to 1 in measurable de- gree and that he would tackle the is sues Tammany would lay down for him. While it is claimed Bryan has come off his pedestal as easy as any
 candidate that ever f1irted with boss for his support, Croker has made no
 promises. He has accepted the ora
 tors overtures of peace in way that
 Bryan's friends have construed 10 be
 friendly He has not placed himself
 on record as agreeing to support Bry-
 an in payment of Bryan's shelving of
 16 to 1 and ceasing his attacks on
 Tammany. In the west it is said the
 word was to go out that Bryan had
 won Croker. The terms of the win
 ming were to have been a secret The
 impression was to go forth in due
 time that the young man by sheer in
 dependence had conquered the Tam many boss, who was willing to szlp- port him if he was nominated. When the facts become known to the silver leaders they will understand the boss has pulled Bryan off the silver perch and has killed him with the persons 1 yTrh ho
 Croker has departed for the English race tracks and the atmosphere of roy atty and has left behind him host of mourning adherents. They have cause to be mournful for they will probably need his guidance before he As it is, Johnny" Carroll. the "boss's" representative, will prob ably be very busy Carroll is not pop ular with the rank and file of Tam many, and there are certain district leaders ready to snap their fingers at his authority as soon as Croker is out of the country. This fact in connec- ton with the routine supervision of the city in general will probably make the temperature higher in the vicinity of Carroll's office than anywhere else | n Greater New York. It is no secret i that but for Croker's announced plan ! to go abroad for ah indefinite time : he would not have been called So early 1 in the investigation as he was.

 ion had gone on for some time, and t looks as if Croker's next appear lnce on the witness stand on August g, will be at a most interesting stage if the inquiry. It is highly probable hat John F. Carroll and Andy Freed nan will precede MT Croker on the tand by several weeks
 It is understood that the two de- to be taken up when the in
 estigation is re31med are the police nd building departments. It is said hat MT. Moss will have some surprises 0 spring tn the matter of the police orruption fund. It is hinted that ono r two captains who r6belled against he assessment levied on them to swell his fund had told the whole story to IT, Moss. It is said that the captains ere assessed $200 each for "benevo- mt" purposes, and that Brooklyn aptain made a vigorous protest. It as been sad that he went so far as to rite a letter to Governor Roosevelt l citing forth the facts. At any rate, [ le captain has been subpoenaed. [
 That MT. Moss will establish beyond T Il question the existence of this po- [ ce corruption fund is taken for ranted by all who know his inimate t ources of information in the police c apartment He will turn the search [ ght squarely on this recent chapter a 2 police corruption when he starts a 1t again. It seems to be an assured \ let that Mir Moss wiIl be reinforced fl y the Society for the Prevention of A rime when the inquiry is resumed. I arkhurst, moved by the force of the D work, appears to nave Il hanged his mind as to the matter of d nding MT Moss a hand, and as his a ,sociates on the executive committee ave all along been in favor of assist o g the investigation, it is not unlikely U lat formal action will be taken, plac- | g the books and records of the so- a ety at the committees disposal. h
