New York Getting Ready to Celebrate
 Rapid Transit Completion.
 New York, May 23.-Plans are under discussion for q jubilee exposition in this city i'll 1905 to commemorate the physical consolidation of the boroughs of the metropolis by the completion Of the rapid transit system It is fur ther planned to give to New York I permanent exposition structure with accommodations sufficiently extensive to house the greatest conventions.

EXAMINING THE CHALLENGER
Six Weeks May Be Sufficient to Put
 the Yacht in Racing Trim.

Southampton. May 23.-So far as can be ascertained the hull of the cup chal- lenger is not injured. but she will be docked for a thorough examination.
 Sir Thomas Lipton, George Watson and ". G. Jameson visited the boat this morning and decided that six weeks were sufficient to put the crip- pied yacht again in racing trim, and that it will probably be necessary to ask for a delay in the date of the cup races for this length of time.
 In their opinion most of the other spars were quite heavy enough and the whole trouble arose from the breaking of shroud (bowsprit shroud) and the bobstay fastenings.
 Sir Thomas Iipton takes. the acci- dent philosophically but the comments of the men show that this culminating misfortune, coming on t%D of the minor accidents which have happened at nearly every trial, has quite taken the heart out of the crew. Past mis- haps which were glossed over at the time of occurrence are now magnifed, and not one of the hands has a good word to say for the boat. It is now admitted that all are bitterly disap- pointed with her form as against the old boat and the general hope is ex- pressed that Sir Thomas Lipton will decide to build new yacht before sailing off his challenge.

Hanged Himself By Making a Rope
 From His Blankets.

Rome, May 23.-Bresci, the Italian assassin of the late King Humbert, has committed suicide at the penitentiary of Santo Stefano.
 Bresci. recently, has been suffering from extreme excitement, deC-=red to be from remorse. Tuesday night he made rope from his blankets and strangled himself.
 On the wall of Bresci's cell the word vengeance was scratched with his bloody thumb nail.
 Bresci's violence last week culmiT- ated in his attacking 8 jailer, in con sequence of which he was placed in a straight Jacket. Later the prisoner feigned docility, i'll order to secure an opportunity to commit suicide, which he accomplished by hanging himself with an improyised rope attached to the ceiling. In the earlier days of his imprisonment Bresci resented orders to keep silent and threatened to kill him. self.

 His Boarding House.
 Patrick Curtin, an employe of Benedict & Burnhanrss, may thank the fates above that he is not to-day an occupant of the happy hunting grounds. As it was, he Tad a narrow escape from crossing the bridge fo eternity. Patrick boards with Mrs Chabot, who occupies the entire house at 47S South Main street. His room is on the third floor. Last night he came home somewhat late. When rn- tiring he blew out the gas, instead of shutting it off. his morning about 6:;30 q Miss Bennett, who lives in the same house, was passing by the room when she detected the odor of gas. Look ing in the room she saw the prostrate form of Curtin. He was unconscious. The gas jet was open. The landlady was notified and she addressed some words to the boarder, but he was un- able to speak. Dr Thibault was sum- moned and he administered stimulants to the victim. He was revived and his condition is most favorable now It was lucky escape from being as-s phyxiated from gas. What saved him is the fact that window in the room was opened a little distance all night

POLICY PULLED.
Police Swoop Down on Several
 Dealers in it.
FOUR ELEVEN FORTY FOUR.

The Police Determined to Put a Stop
 to This Form of Gambling Six Writ
 CTS of Policy Arrested To-day and
 Locked Up.
 The police started out this noon to round up the players of policy and the particular men who profit by the game Of late this method of gambling has been conducted so openly that the aver age spectator was of the opinion that it was not prohibited by the law. Sa- looms, cobbling shops, tailor shops, or in fact any place of business where men are wont to congregate has been instrumental in propagating the game.
 While it no longer has any particular place for headquarters it had been played more extensively than ever. Prior to the last raid it had only one
 head ostensibly to-day it's representa- tives are at large all over the city, cal- rying their headquarters with them and leaving no trace of their presence af- ter them. It would be impossible to estimate the amount spent without any return, or any possible chance of re- turn in a day i'll this city That it
 runs into the hundreds is fair state-
 ment.
 During the past few months 1t has
 been played so openly that it became
 an affront to the intelligence of the po-
 lice department; an outrage on public
 decency. It was impossible to avoid it; slip confronted one everywhere To-day the police found was a propitious one for a general roundup of the instruments of the fraud, and in consequence the slate at police head- quarters shows that at 12:30 Detective Cahey and Officer Goggin landed Fred w Adams, a shoe maker on West Main street, and Robert McIiernaIl. Adams |sis charged with keeping policy shop and McKiernan with playing the game. The surprise created by the officers in the places they visited was rather Imaginable to those who feared them not. On Adams person was found number of books and all paraphernalia | of the game from which the police il- fer he was doing land office business. On many of the papers found on him containing the numbers, of tile days play were names of some prominent
 men, also names of men employed iii the Clock factory and other factories. At 3. o'clock the names of William Scully and James Coffey were added to the list. They are charged with playing the game.

WILL REJECT REPORT.
Cuban Convention will Adopt the Plat
 Amendment

Amendment.
 New York, May 23.-It has been snoWn, .i says a Havana dispatch to the slflDune, that the Cuban constitutional convention will reject GuaIberto Go ,mez's report as the first step toward accepting the Platt amendment. He urged that if the convention held out and refused acquiescence to the amendment, Cuba would be in posi- ton to appeal to the world, and ulti- mately would gain aso1ute independ- eIlce. His followers now admit the defeat of his proposition, but after that will endeayoT to embarrass the delegates who want the majority re port adopted.
 The Sugar Planters association made a formal request to the convention to intervene in the question of mortgage foreclosure, which is one of the most perplexing questions with which the American administration is confront ed. Governor General Wood has ex- tended the time of the order against foreclosure till June 1, but announces that no further extensions will be granted.
 In the meantimh, a special commis- sioner has been irvine to adjust the difficulty. but has not succeeded in formulating plan satisfactory to both debtors and creditors. The merchants union, a strong financial body, has op- posed the Sugar planters convention and has lately refused to intervene on behalf of the latter, on the ground that the subject is beyond it's jurisdiction. It's action is important.

Randolph acted as agent and attorney i'll fact for these persons, individually, who were legatees under the will of Edward F. Randolph, deceased, or dis tributees of his estate as alleged in paragraphs 20, 21, P and 34 of the complaint.
 And the court finds that the plain tiff only performed all the covenants and agreements to be performed by him under the terms of exhibit be attached to the complaint; that para graphs one and two of the second defense are true and the third paragraph is untrue and that the third, fourth and fifth de lenses are untrue; and that the plain tiff is without adequate remedy at law.

WILL ORGANIZE.
Property Owners Want Protection
 Against Bad Tenants.

Some of the owners of tenements are talking of the adyisability of forming an organization for the purpose Of keeping themselves posted regarding parties who make practice of moving out without squaring accounts with the landlords. Such q society would be very useful in the community, but it seems sas if it would be difficult to keep track of every family who finds it cheaper to move than pay rent. It would be a good thing for every man who desires to change his residence to get q clear receipt from the owner of the house heintends vacating and pre- sent it to the proprietor or agent of the place he wishes to occupy, and then there would be no doubt about the honesty of the new tenant.

MORTGAGE BANKS TROUBLES.

Berlin, May 23.-At Neu Strelitz yesterday the stockholders of the Mecklenburg- -Strelitz mortgage bank had a stormy and sensational meet ing. The bank is a creation of the Pomeranian mortgage bank, whose di- rectors were arrested Saturday. Yes terday's meeting showed similar state of affairs as in the case of the Prussian Actien bank and Deltsche Grundschuld bank, circumventing the law against lending upon unimproyed property by making heavy loans to sub-companies speculating in real es- tate. Most of the loans were secured by second mortgages, the Pomeranian bank holding the first mortgages An attempt was made to oust the direct ors, but it failed. The other mortgage banks are not affected.
