CROKER QUITS AS LEADER.
Turns Chieftainship of Tammany Over
to Carroll A y r Election.


According to NV York dispatch,
Richard Croker abdicated the leadership
of Tammany Tuesday night after the re-
suit of the election was known. Croker,
Maurice Untermeyer and Senator T. d.
Sullivan were together at dinner and 1t
is said that a little later Mr.. Croker de-
clared this was his last political fight.
Mr.. Croker asked Senator Sullivan whom
he desired as leader. Sullivan answered
that John f. Carroll would be pleasing
to him. Then and there, it is said, Gro
ker abdicated his leadership of Tammany
Hall and turned it over to John F. Car
roll.
The party proceeded to Tammany Hall.

of Mr.. Croker, but said nothing. He
accompanied Mr.. Croker to the Demo

remained closeted with him for nearly
an hour. 1t was after this conference
that Mr.. Croker announced, This is my
last campaign
There was some discussion as to the
,,lonc of a reorganization of Tammany,
n which Mr.. Croker took no part ex-
cent to suggest that younger blood be adj
mitted to the inner council

The Presidents message is nearly fin
ished, says a Washington dispatch. The
document is one Of the shortest prepared
by a President and it probably will be
compressed into a still smaller compass.
Mr.. Roosevelt's opinion is that message
briefly but strongly discussing each Of
the important questions engrossing the
attention of the country will be what the
nation wants.
These will be some of the important
matters discussed by the President:
Reciprocity. Roosevelt will make q
general statement Of the necessity for
reciprocity.
Trusts. The President feels strongly
on this subject, and it is his purpose to
devote considerable portion Of his mes
sage to it. If he follows the view of the
Department of Justice he will urge the
amendment of the Sherman law so as to
provide machinery for the prosecution OF
the trusts, making it compulsory for
them to show to government officials on
demand, copies of their contracts and
agreements and authorize tbs employ
ment of agents to make the investigation.
Roosevelt will not indorse this recon-
mendation so far as now known, and may
not even call attention to it.
Ship subsidy bill. The need of aug
mentation of the merchant marine is well
known to the country and Roosevelt will
dwell with emphasis upon it. He will
not commit himself to the Endorsement
of any measure.
Navy. By his service in the Navy De-
partment, Roosevelt takes a deep inter
est In the navy. He has already dictated
a very strong essay on the need OF
strong navy. He will earnestly urge the
adoption of formidable shipbuilding pro-
gram, which shall include battleships.
This will be an especially strong feature
Of the message.
He is an ardent advocate Of a canal,
and will earnestly urge action. He will
also refer to the negotiation Of treaty
with Great Britain, which removes all OBJ
stacles in the way of American construc-
ton Of the canal, and will urge its ratih-
cation.
In addition to these matters, Roosevelt
Is expected to urge the maintenance OF
the status quo in the Philippines, and
the enactment of more stringent immlgra-
ton laws, which will enable the exclusion
Of undesirable aliens, and the re-enact-
ment of the Chinese exclusion act. Mem
bers Of the ways and means committee,
who have talked with him do not expect
him to recommend any reduction in the
war revenue taxes.
Nor will he, it is believed, include any
financial recommendations in his mes
sage.
A statement of past events in Cuba will
be submitted, but as all arrangements
for the turning over of the government
to the Cubans have been made recon-
mendations respecting the island are
unnecessary.

MRS. W1TWER.

In whose families she had served as
housekeeper, and four children. 1t is
due to Mrs. Witwer, however, to say
that she stoutly protests her innocence.
Close upon the heels of the Witwer
case follows the arraignment of Jane
Toppan at Barnstable, Mass, a profess
sional nurse, upon the charge of murder
ing Mary d. Gibbs, suspicious also rest
ing upon her of numbering Mrs. Gordon,
sister of Mrs. Gibbs, and Mr.. and Mrs.
A. p. Davis, their father and mother, all
of whom had been attended by Jane Top
pan in the capacity Of nurse. She is
also suspected of the murder of three
other persons. The evidence in this case
seems stronger than that against Mrs.
Witwer. The accused woman shortly af-
ter their decease attempted to commit
suicide
There is an apparent lack Of motive in
the first case. Mrs. Witwer does not
seem to have profted in any way by the
numerous deaths of which some think
she may have been the cause, nor does
there appear to be any special reason
why she should have removed people IN
such a wholesale manner. Miss Toppan
had been employed as nurse in the Davis
family for years, and in the Brigham
family, three members of which died
suddenly, she was regarded almost as
daughter. 1t is said that she owed Mr.
Davis money and that some money which
was on the person Of one of the women
she nursed could not be found after her
death. If money was her motive her
crimes got for her only about $1,000.
1t is not safe yet to assume that either
woman is guilty. If their guilt shall be
established, and if it shall appear also
that Miss Toppan did not benefit in
pecuniary way by the deaths laid at her
door, it will have to be assumed that
both these women had an abnormal love
of killing, induced by that same species
of insanity which inspired Nero and Lu-
crezia Borgia in their alleged butcherles.

FIRE WREAKS HAVOC IN CHICAGO
Burns Twenty Buildings and Causes a
Loss of About $25O,OOO.

Burns Twenty Buildings and Causes a
Loss OF About $25O,OO0.
Fire started in the top floor Of a wood
workers factory at 126 North Union
street, Chicago, Wednesday afternoon,
which within two hours consumed twenty
buildings, made 200 people homeless and
caused a financial loss Of about $25O,OOO.
It was In many respects the most spec
tacular fire that has visited the city since
the burning Of the city, and by its pecu-
liar situation and the character Of the
buildings which fed it's swift fury, and
the time at which it occurred, furnished
a spectacle to at least 10000 people. In
spite of the hairbreadth escapes of scores
of people, the imminent danger from fall
ing walls and the almost magic speed OF
the fires spread, nobody was seriously
hurt.
The flames burned over an area Of three
blocks and for several hours threatened
large section on the northwest side of the
city, The fire started from an explosion
of benzine The rapidity with which the
flames spread caused panic among the
persons living in the vicinity of the fac
tory building.
The sudden shifting Of the wind from
the west to the northwest materially aid
ed the fremen in checking the progress
Of the flames and prevented the fire from
spreading to the south side of Milwaukee
avenue and thence into district compos-
ed almost wholly of frame structures that
could hardly have been saved.

volume of traffic Such labor troubles
as exist are only local in character The
machinists' strike is an element of inter-
est in a few localities, but attracts little
notice. Coal dealers are complaining Of
the mild weather, which postpones the
activity in that industry. Copper mines
outside Of the Amalgamated circle are
reaping the results of the efforts Of the
Standard Oil interests to restrict produc-
ton. The Amalgamated company has
reduced it's output, but still holds up the
price Of the product. No surer indica-
ton of the sound business conditions pre-
yailing in Chicago can be found than its
bank clearings for October. They gained
Sol ,664, 067r or 1853 per cent, over Octo-
Der, 1900, and were the largest on record.
Brisk retail trade in the whole country
is shown by the demand for notes Of
small denominations.
The conferences held in New York
with the settlement Of the Northern Pa
cifc imhroglio in view have not been sue
cessful yet Assurances are given that
arrangements are progressing satisfac-
torily and that the final adjustment will
be on an ownership basis, leaving no
room for another outbreak of hostilities
that is, so far as the Northern Pacific
and Burlington are concerned The stock
market is waiting on the settlement Of
this controversy. The return of w. K.
Vanderbilt to this country probably will
be the signal for the revival of the re-
ports of deal involving all the railroad
properties in which the Vanderbilt fam
lily is interested.

generally. That the prospect of change
in these pleasing conditions lies in events
without, not within this country, grows
clearer as the situation in Europe as
sumes a more unsatisfactory aspect.
Whatever takes place there in a CONNER
cial and financial way win be reflected
eventually in the markets of America.
New York, London, Paris and through
them other centers, are alike subject to
the same influences. The present deDres-
sion in Germany has placed on the mar
kets of Europe a large output Of iron
and steel at low prices, which restricts
the foreign demand for our products by
that much. Fortunately the iron and
steel business does not feel the effect
Of these conditions now, as the domestic
consumption is SO great, but it is an adj
verse factor that will be felt in time I'M
less conditions in Europe are bettered.
This country has been called upon to
supply gold to meet foreign needs, and
on Thursdays steamers $2,950,00O wal
shipped to Paris. The present shipments
are in part payment of loans made last
summer to carry Northern Pacific securi-
ties bought when the historic contest for
the control of that road was under way.
Gold is commodity and will go to the
country that will pay for it. European
nations are the ones that want it the
most now. The advance in the Bank of
England rate to per cent probably will
attract more gold from here The infu-
ence Of this movement on the Wall street
money market is largely offset by the
action of the Secretary Of the Treasury
in resuming bond purchases.
