arrested, describes himself as William
Ferguson, SO years of age, living at the
Capital hotel, Bowery. He is of Irish
| birth and says he is "a physician.
Ferguson called on DR.. William M.
Polk and told a touching story abou,
having lost his wife, two children and
all his property in the Galveston storm
and flood. DR.. Polk afterwards remem-
bered having received a call year ago
from Ferguson, and notified some of his
professional friends. He further remem-
bered that at that time his visitor said
he had lost all he had in a fire in Michi-
gan. Dr. George E. Jarman was one of
those communicated with. DR.. Jarman
received Ferguson and again the Gal
weston flood story was told. DR.. Jarman
gave his visitor marked one dollar bin
and later the pretended physician was
turned over to the police. At the sta
ton house the authorities remembered
marked copy of the Medical Record,
dated November "a, 1900, which read:
"An impostor. DR.. W. Peyre Porcher

of American physicians and surgeons in
Washington in May last, was victmizng

pretending to be in distress and bor-
rowing money from them.'

Eldorado. Kan. Nov. 27.-The fifth day
OF the Jessie Morrison murder trial
opened at noon, when the tedious ex-
animation of witnesses from the special
venire drawn last night was begun.
Already 236 veniremen have been ex-

that it will be several days before twelve
men acceptable to the judge prosecution
and defense are found. Notwithstanding
the dullness of the proceedings public
interest in the case increases each day,
and today twice as many people as
could be accommodated sought admit
tance to the courtroom, a third of them
being women and children. Miss Morri-
son appeared downcast today when she
took her seat and turned her back to

AS CROKER SEES IT.
Does Not Believe In Sincerity of Re
formers.

New York, Nov. 27.-A dispatch to the
Herald from London quotes Richard
Croker as saying in an interview at his
country home at Vantage, that the re-
formers of New York are not sincere.
Says Mr.. Croker in the interview:
"These men cannot fool the people of
New York again. The only cause they
are fighting for is the republican party.
Their only aim is to elect a republican
mayor of New York.
They are responsible for the New
York charter. They created a bi-par-
tisan police board. What we should
have is a single-headed police board.
Then we could .lace responsibility on
somebody's shoulders. Two-thirds of the
police captains in New York are repub-
licans. Is the democratic organization,
which does not control the police board,
responsible for the administration of
these republican captains?
What we mean to do is to satisfy the
people of New York" he continued.
"These reformers talk about vice in
New York. Have they ever been in
London or Paris? They are not sim
cere."

CANAL MEASURE
MAY Be PASSED
SENATOR MORGAN DECLARES
MANY OF HIS COLLEAGUES
ARE FAVORING 1T.

New York, Nov. Ex-senator John T.
Morgan, of Alabama, is quoted in a
Tribune special from Washington as
saying in an interview about the Nicar-
aguan canal project:
II can see no reason why the canal
measure should not go through this ses-
sion. Every senator who has thus far
returned to Washington has expressed
his willingness and determination to vote
for it, and I have no doubt that a large
majority of the senate will vote for the
bill when the time arrives The trouble
has been and is likely to be in securing
permission to consider the bill. When a
vote is taken great many will vote in
it's favor. / am in favor of the rati-
fication Of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty,
and I think this treaty will be disposed
of favoraib!y.
"The question off fortifcations along
the canal is one which has more inter-
est for the countries of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica than for the United States.
Nicaragua and Costa Rico own the
ground and ought to have right to say
just what they want in this direction.
If they want the right to fortify the
canal, then there will be some necessity
for the discussion of this subject, but
so far as the interests of this country
are concerned the matter is of very
little consequence. Some of the military
authorities may take the ground that in
view of the uncertain character of the
government of South American republics
few Notifications might he good
thing. Let the nations owning the land
have their say in this respect and let
us not worry over it,"
