English View Of Croker.
From the London Express, August q.


"Boss'' Croker, the head Of the Tam
many political organization in New York
Will leave his rural retreat at Vantage,
Berkss at thes END OF next week and sail
for America to take part in the coming
municipal campaign. Mr. Croker is very
reticent as to the steamer he is sailing
by. and seems fmbued with the idea that
steps. Recent developments in New. York,
with regard to the police scandals, have
made him very cross. and the newspaper
representatives who have bearded him on
the race course have cleaned very little in
formation. In answer to pertinent inQuir-
les as to his departure Mr.. Croker assumes
chtldlike ignorance as to his future move
menfs and gives all inquirers, what is
called in America. the CLASSY eye and the
frozen face Mr.. Croker will talk when it
suits his purpose and not before. When he
does not wish to talk no reporter can get
anything out OF him. Like the railway Of
fetal after an accident, he resembles an
oyster in Its non-communicativeness.

Absolute Quiet Ordered.

physicians and two trained nurses are with
the President constantly All others were
excluded from the sick chamber this morn

citement are considered extremely essen

FOR CLOSER RELATIONS.
Police Chiefs OF This Country and
Europe to Cooperate.

Police Chiefs OF This Country and
Europe to Cooperate.
Major Sylvester. superintendent of police
and president OF the Police Association of
the United States and Canada, today sent
to the board OF directors Of that organiza-
tion the following communication. The
board will report approval of the idea con-
tanned therein by the board, and the secre-
tary of the association will be authorized
to take action accordingly:
The National Association of Chiefs Of
Police OF the United States and Canada at
the last annual meeting adopted a reso-
luton inviting the heads of foreign police
departments to participate In our annual
discussions, and the distressing calamity
which this country has recently experi-
enced through the assault by an unknown
assassin. confirms the belief that the i'm
pert OF the resolution should be impressed
on foreign officials with a view Of having
sucn or their number present at our next
annual meeting as may be able to attend;
this with the hope that a closer relation
snip may be established officially and per-
sonally, and that there may be an inter
cnange or opinion as to the best methods
TO be pursued to eliminate from society
such organizations and persons as may be
evilly disposed toward institutions OF gov
ernment and those charged with their con-
duct.
This Is a most vital question. and II the
laws are inadequate to crush such organi-
nations and punish such characters, there
should be recommendations from q police
standpoint which would forever prevent
the like In this country and aid the authori-
ties abroad.
L trust the members will give this mat
ter close and careful consideration. and
oner such suggestions as may aid in ac-
compltshing the desired end and, that the
secretary will be authorized to adopt such
measures as will bring about a thorough
understanding with our foreign friends and
to secure their presence and cooperation.
In the meantime, there should be active
efforts made looking to the eradication Of
these evils and information gathered and
disseminated through the national bureau
of criminal Identification with a view of
accomplishing such result
