DAVID ID. HILL.


state POLITICS.
New York Letter in Philadelphia Ledger.
There is no more interesting figure in New
York State politics to-day than David b.
twenty years ago. He has been leader of
his party for twenty years He is now the
leader. No other New York politician, ex-
cept Plat, has passed through greater
changes of fortune than he. In 1892 he
was the choice of the State delegation for
President; but Cleveland's star was in the
ascendant, and Fill was overwhelmed in
the national convention. Two years later
a nomination for Governor was forced upon
him, and he was beaten by 10000 votes.
In 1897 he retired from the Senate, and has
passed off the stage of politics two other
men crossed Hills path Of political adj
vancement. The rise of Bryan stopped his
progress in national politics, and the power
of Croker nearly broke him in the State.
In the national convention of 1900 Hill was
cheered, but Bryan ruled. In the state
ent, but Croker dictated the nomination,
and organized the state committee. But
time works its changes. This year finds
Hill in undisputed command Of the party
organization in the State. Croker, Murphy
and others who have opposed and overruled
in other years are now out of power. Mr..
Cleveland has come forth from his honor
able retirement only to attend a public
meeting with Hill and to lead in the demon
stration of applause that greeted the latter.
In national politics Hill is able to make
combinations that will probably give him
great power in the convention in 1904. Thus,
after many years, he finds himself again
holding the helm of his party in the State.
and he is reaching for leadership in the
Nation. At sixty years of age, therefore,
Mr.. Hill is the survivor of many opposing
ambitions the survivor, even, of his own
colossal blunder in the Maynard case. In
political circles here these things are the
subject of much talk. and the result of
Hills renewed ascendency in state politics
is awaited with the keenest interest. Cur
rent opinion divides into two parts On
one side il is believed that Hills control
of the state organization will last only
until other Democratic leaders get into
shape TO assert their power, and that in
national politics the open anita gonism of
Bryan will bar his advancement. On the
other side, ii is held that Hill has entered
upon the most fruitful period of his career

THREE BANDITS FOOLED.


TUCSON, A T.. Sept. 2.-Reports reached
here of daring attempt by three Amer
lean bandits to hold up the international
express on the Sonora Railroad three miles
from Hermosillo on Sunday. The explosion
Of a torpedo on the track caused the en-
gineer to stop. Three Americans stepped
out of the shelter of grove of trees and
covered the engine crew. Two of the rob-
bers then went to the express car and de-
manded admittance. The messenger re-
piled with a volley of shots through the
door, the bandits returning the fire. Sew
eral passengers armed themselves and were
going to the aid of the plucky messenger
when the highwaymen became frightened
and gave up their attempt, disappearing
into the orange groves, where 1t was sup
posed they had horses in waiting. AS soon
as the train reached Hermosillo the alarm
was given and a troop of rurales and
posse started in pursuit of the bandits. No
confirmation of the reported hold-up has
been given out by the railroad officials

LONDON. Sept. 2.-W. c. Steadman's
presidential address at the trades-union
congress to-day was pessimistic in tone, and
included a general denunciation of the pres
ent governments reactionary measures,
such as the educational bill, the sugar tax
and the grain tax. which he described as
being an endeavor to permanently relieve
the rich at the expense of the poor. Mr..
Steadman denied that des-uniOnism was
destructive to British commercial suprem-
acy, charged by the London Times and
other papers. The only means by which
the working people could hope to secure
relief from their burdens was, Mr.. Stead

CHARGED WITH CONTEMPT.


CHARLESTOWN, w. Va, Sept. Judge
Keller to-day opened his court, heard the
preliminary motions in the contemplated
case against the strikers arrested at Rend,
and adjourned the hearing of the main is
sue to the first day of the regular term
here-Dec. s. The defendants are charged
with violating the injunction issued by
Judge Keller at the suit of the Chesapeake
& Ohio Coal Agency Company. and ques-
ton has been raised in it that was not
decided in the one formerly tried here. 1t
is that the coal companies Ion New river
were named parties defendant for the
purpose of giving the court Jurisdiction;
that the interest of the coal companies lies
on the other side; that a court of equity
will put them on the plaintiffs side where
their interest lies, and that then the juris-
diction of the court will be destroyed and
the case will have to be dismissed. 1t is not
likely the case will ever be heard, for ii
the strike is ended before court meets there
will be nobody enough interested to prose-
cute il.
