Blanchard Dixie. che daughter of Henry Dixie
Mr.. Reynolds married Miss Dixie in London,

COLONEL MONROE CHOSEN.
CONFERENCE s LEADERS AT THE
MAYOR-ELECTS HOME.

Colonel Robert Grier Monroe will be appointed
Deputy Police Commissioner TO succeed Devery,
unless some exigency which neither Mr.. Low nor
Colonel Partridge has as yet anticipated pre-
sents itself At a conference which held
last night at Mr. Lows house. at Sixty-fourth-
ST. and Madison-ave., Mr.. Low and Colonel Par
fridge talked the police situation over with
Colonel Monroe, and it was learned afterward
good authority that the office of Deputy
Commissioner was offered to Colonel Monroe and
was accepted by him. Present also al this con-
ference were Robert C. Morris and Justice Je-
rome When one of the guests mentioned was
asked if there had been a conference ne said:
"Oh. no, no. Only dinner party-onIy lit
tie dinner party. that is ALL
1t was nevertheless learned that at the little
dinner party the question of who was going to
succeed Devery, which has been agitating poll
ticians. and especially the rank and file of the
police force ever since the overthrow OF Croker
at the polls on November j. had practically been
settled.
If Mr.. Low does not announce the appoint
ment of Colonel Monroe said politician last
night who is a close friend of the Mayor-elect
1T will be for reasons which neither Mr.. Low
nor Colonel Partridge are considering at the
present time. Colonel Monroe is just the type
of that Mr.. Low has wanted from the start
He is lawyer and independent Democrat
Consequently he will be we'll fitted for the trial
of policemen and for the various duties which
Devery has been 'touchin' on and appertainin'
to- up to the present time
No who present at the conference
cared speak of what had been considered.
Each equally reticent When the report
reached the Fifth Avenue Hotel, OF the old
campaigners there said:
There didn't I tell you so? | knew all the
time that Mr. Low was going TO appoint a law
yer to that place.
But you never told a fellow so he could bet
it, said of the other members of the
Amen Corner with a dOwncast face
Colonel Robert Grier Monroe is an Independent
Democrat, and first came into prominence In a
political way in the days OF the old State DEM
ocracy. which was also known the Grace
Democracy These the times when W. r
Grace and Charles s Fairchild were the leaders
of a revolt against the domination of David B.
Hill. He has been connected with several reform
movements, and when the Committee of Fifteen
organized after the earnest eXhOrtdtiOn OF
Bishop Potter against the conditions of vice as
revealed By the Rev. Mr.. Paddock the East
committee Mr.. Monroe is a member of num-
ber of clubs and organizations. including the Re-
form Club. the University Club, the Union CluD,
the Princeton Club and the Pennsylvania SOCi-
ETY.. He is also a member of the Bar Associa-
ton
The presence Of Justice Jerome at the little
dinner was interpreted to mean that both
Colonel Partridge and Colonel Monroe wished to
acquaint themselves with the judges views on
ought be executed as il stands at present
and in case amendment such as the F1ght1nS
Judge recommends is passed by the legislature
this winter.

TBY TELEGRAPH TRIBUSE.I
Washington, Dec 5.-Much interest has been
excited among officials here over the seizure Of
two cars of a Southern Pacific pay train at
Nogales Ariz to-day by United States customs
authorities, acting under the direction OF the
Secretary of the Treasury. Brief advices re
ceved by the Assistant Secretary in charge or
customs matters said that two or three dozen
boxes of cigars had been found on the train
which it was alleged the crew were trying 10
smuggle into this country. 1t is assumed that
the train bound for the Pacific Coast from
some point in Sonora. Mexico. When 1t resched
Nogaes official reports show that 1t was podfu-
ed by government officers and. on discovering
the reported smuggled goods, it was ordered
held up until instructions could be recelNeu
from Washington.
AT first Secretary Gage was inclined to be-
u2ve that the paymaster other employees IN
char ge of the train should be arrested, ana
then the train could proceed to its destination:
After an interesting controversy with one Oh
his assistants. however. involving references 10
the customs regulations, the Secretary was con-
yinced that the cars which the cigars were
found must be seized under the law Whlle
that any vehicle not excluding railway convey,
ances is subject to seizure when employed
