Robert Livingston stevens sailed
from New York to Liverpool before
the advent Of the ocean steamer. In

months, and Stevens passed many an
hour, jackknife in one hand and a
piece OF wood in the other, brOoding
over a problem that had Ditch worried
him--how to run Il railroad without
stone stringers for tracks. He wanted
TO get an iron rail that would hold"
and would take the place Of the thin
strips fastened to the chair OF the

solution of his problem, and that So
luton took the form Of a T rail with

Mr. Nixon had finished. Then Michael
c. Murphy made a very complimentary
speech in praise Of Mr.. Nixon He did
not say, however. that he wished him
to remain as leader. He said that Mr..
Nixon had done splendid WORK as the
leader, and had the confidence OF all
the leaders.
Mr.. Nixon jumped to his feet as soon
as Colonel Murphy had finished, and
sad:
Il do not desire any vote Of conf

He Immediately left the room, fol-
lowed by an outburst Of handclapping.
Once outside the meeting room. Mr.
Nixon would only say to the newspaper

at which time Ir. NixOn's action win

rumOrs about the hall regarding the
future policy Of the organization. The
most persistent one, and one that was
expressed by several leaders. was that
there would be no actual leader Of

This was coupled with a rumor that
the finance committee would be abol-

NEW YORK. May 14.-Lewis NiEo

At EW YORK. Nay l4.-LeWis Nixon,
IN leader Of Tammany hall for nearly
six months. resigned that position
today at a meeting OF the district lead
ers, held in Tammany hail. While the
resignation was not entirely unexpeet-
ed, it was not thought that Mr.. Nixon
would take such positive action until a
later date first waiting the action of
the leaders TO see if they would give
him a vote Of confidence
Instead of this he refused to allow any
vote Of confidence, and went so far as
to say that he could no longer retain
his self-respect If he remained as
leader
The meeting of the district leaders
was called at the instance Of Mr.. Nixon,
who, on Tuesday night, sent tele-
era phic messages to all of the thirty
seven. This action followed a deadlock
at the meeting of the sachems Of Tam
many Hall society Monday, when Mr..
NiXon's intention Of retaining Thomas
L. Feitner as grand sachem was frus-
trated by a tie, there being six Of the
sachems of the thirteen for and six
against the retention, George c. Clau-
sen being absent.
The action al that time caused a gen
erdl discussion Of the possibilities OF
Mr.. Nixon losing control Of the organ
ization and the combination headed by
John F. Carroll ousting him. Mr..
Nixon, in an interview on Tuesday,
said that if he could not have the conf
dence Of the leaders, he would get out
