New York Letter.
Democratic victory in sicbt-

cratic leaders at the Manhattan club
harmony reception, determined effort
TO elect a Democratic house of repre-
sentatves next fall will be made.
Nearly all of the influential party lead
ers who attended the Manhattan club
function have returned to their homes,
Before leaving the city they voiced a
general feeling that the people OF the
country are displeased with the record
being made in Washington, and that the
next house of representatives can be
wrested from the Republicans.
Justice to Cuba in the judgment of
many of the leaders who were here, is
the cry on which a successful congress
slonal fight can be made next fall Elk
| Senator David B. Hill, who made the
chief speech at the harmony gathering,
remained in the city and received calls
from many party leaders. They ex-
pressed entire approval of the suggestion
ne made as to policies upon which all
elements could get together.
In his speech Mr.. Hill told the Dem
ocrats of other states that the New York
legislature is making many mistakes and
that the present session is furnishing
plenty of strong material on which an
aggressive fight can be made next fall
Prior to his departure for the South,
Lewis Nixon, Tammany's new leader,
expressed a similar belief.

Ffreproof, Yet 1t Burned
The Park Avenue hotel recently
destroyed by fire was long known as
| Stewards Folly" 1t cost him $4,000
and was among the earlier iron
structures of the city. He neglected to
leave fortunes to all the working girls,
therefore they We're unable to make use
of it as a home. He called it the
Women's hotel, which name helped to
Kill it. The Earles spent S-y.,.JJ in
renovating it. 1t was often said that 1t
was 1.-THE most obviously and manifest
ly fTreproof hotel in America One
writer enthusiastically puts it thus:
The broad arches overhead in the
chambers tell of uninfammabe hoors
everywhere. 1t gives one very restful
sense of security to feel thus guarantees
against one OF the worst p1rils."
The Empire City track, the resale of

chased by a syndicate of six men, head

adhered strictly to this determination

Van Wyck Talks
For the first time since the municipal
election, in which Tammany went down
in a defeat largely attributed to the I'M
popularity of Robert A. Van Wyck who
was candidate for the supreme bench
the eX-mayor today consented to talk
politics and discuss the situation and the
outlook for reform. 1t is apparent that
Mr.. Van Wyck considered himself an i'll
used good man, whose righteousness and
ability the people will realize some day.
That he keeps an eye on the situation
was evident, and he is fully convinced
thai Tammany will return to power at
the next contest at the polls. He says
that jealousy actuated the criticism of
himself and his administration.
