FINANCIERs SPARRING.
Contributors to Correspondence Column
of London Newspapers.

LONDON, November Mot the least re-
markable feature of the tube" railroad
controversy here is the appearance of such
firms as the Morgans and Speyer Bros. as
contributors to the correspondence columns
of the London newspapers. The Speyers
followed up the acrimonious tube debate
in the house of commons Thursday night
by publishing an open letter in the London
papers disclaiming all responsibility for
the defeat of the Morgans' bill and explain
ing that they had bought the United Tram
way shares in the course of usual business
long before the rupture between the Nor
gans and the United Tramway manage
ment.
This morning the Morgans replied through
the Times, -characterizing Speyer Bros ex-
PLANTATION as entirely Incorrect recount
ing the history of Yerkes' coup and declar-
ing that the Morgans had been purposely
kept in ignorance of the sale of the United
Tramway stock till the very moment the
London United bill was withdrawn before
the parliamentary. committee, October 81.
Curiously enough, Sir Lewis McIver
chairman of the house of commons railroad
commission, who was a bitter participant
in the debate of October 80, writes to the
Times, explaining that he did not mean
anything by his vigorous condemnation of
members of the stock exchange for connec-
ton with the tube tangle, and declaring
that he believed the purchasers of the
shares in question were perfectly within
their rights.

DICK CROKER IN LONDON.
Says He Wonders Why He Didn't
Leave Politics Long Ago.

A special cablegram from London to the
New York Herald says:
Richard Croker Is again in London, but
on the eve of the election in the United
States he remains dumb as far as politics
is concerned.
Mr.. Croker had dinner last night with ].
Sergeant Cram, former dock commissioner
of New York. He is looking ruddy.

do not remember to have spent as pleasant
year as the last has been for long, long
time Sometimes I wonder why l didn't
get out of politics sooner. l have good
time over here. I go about great deal
and get much enjoyment out of the races.
1t is not true that am selling OFF my
horses any more than any horse owner does
who finds he Is overstecked. l expect to
go to ireland next week. 1 shall look after
horse breeding there"
Mr.. Croker expressed great interest In the,
recent election polls. When told OF the
forecast that the democrats would carry
New York city he said:
.'Of course"
The probable result in the state seemed
to arouse greater interest.

DEFENDANTS REPLIES
NOT TO LIKING OF THE ASSIST
ANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
"I Can Tell You Better Than You Can
Drag It Out Of Me-" the
Prisoner Declares.

NEW YORK November 1.-The cross-ex-
animation of Roland b. Molineux by AS
sistant District Attorney Osborne, which
was resumed at the opening of court today,
was completed SOON Mr.. Osbornes first
question today was:
Did not Mr.. Barnet pay your wife at
tention?"
Not at all,'' was the reply
ibid you not so testify at the inquest?"
Molineux replied that Barnet had paid
attention to Miss Cheseborough in the
spring and autumn of 1898, before she be-
came Mrs. Molineux
The defendant was in the best of humor.
When Mr.. Osborne asked him If he gave
his wife a ring at the time of his engage
ment. and his answer was not to the prose-
cutor's satisfaction, he said smilingly:
A Sarcastic Retort.
81 can tell you better than you can drag
1t out of me-
IT don't wish to drag it out of you" said
Mr.. Osborne.
Molineux then said he bought an engage
ment ring November 10, 1898. Yesterday he
testified that he and Miss Cheseborough be-
came engaged in September $685.
At Christmas, 1897, he gave her "Niz-
pan ring, and when he became engaged
in September, 1893, he wished to buy her
an engagement ring, but did not do so until
November
A letter to Miss Sadie Shelter, in which
Molineux spoke Of his engagement and
forthcoming marriage as romance" and
said also that it was sudden, was then
identified and admitted in evidence.
Examination Ends Abruptly.
Mr.. Osborne ceased his examination
rather abruptly after several questions as
to the nriSOnar'S uyi}h I'll
medical associations. AS Molineux re-
sumed his seat behind his lawyers the
Rev. Lindsay Parker of Brooklyn shook
hands with him, and his father, Gen. Mol
ineux patted him ,affectionately on the
shoulder and said, Good boy"
Mr.. Black called Max Gumpel a hand
writing expert, as his first witness after
Molneux. Mr.. Gumpel told of his qualif-
cations as an expertsA He said he had stud
led handwriting more than thirty wears
and had testified in many important cases.
among others the Rfegand-Becker forgery,
the Sharon WIFI case, the Sarah Althea
Hill controversy in California and the Rice
will case in NeWsYofk.
Not Written by Same Hand.
He declared that the conceded and dis
puted writings were not written by the
same hand Mr.! Gumpel said 1t was his
belief that the address on the poison pack
age was in the NATURAL hand of the writer,
diio IllcL ilS u appearance was uue
to its having been written after the pack
age was made ups&Ea
On ~cress-examinatien Mr. Gumpel said he
would expect the sender Of a poison pack
age to disguise his handwriting He knew
of no case in which person had sent
poison to any one without trying to conceal
his identity.
Mr.. Osborne got the witness to say that
the u and &C. in Club written by Mo-
lineuX, had many characteristics in COM
mon with the address on the poison pack
age wrapper. He found also shading in
the top of the letter &C. in Cornish on the
wrapper, and like shading in the &C. of the
word Club" in various of the conceded
writings.

pied as a general kitchen are abominable;
the contagious ward is without sufficient
and complete ventilation; the main hos
pital interior walls with the exception
where already anamelled) are in Wretched
dition from a sanitary standpoint and
there is absolutely no ARA cement or con-
veniences for the detention and care of VIC
lent, insane or delirium tremens patients;
there is no suitable rnorgue.
These conditions are not attributable in
any Way to the officers In charge of the
institution, but 1t is a condition brought
about through a lack of funds to carry. out
the original plans. and to keep in thor
ough repair the present buildings. We
feel that the general public do not fully
realize that the rapidly increasing popula-
ton bring swith it as equally, rapid an In
crease of patients at the city institution
who must be cared for. and there now ex-
lists a, crying need for which funds should
be provided, that all necessary buildings
and repairs shall be completed. and thus
render sanitary and Thoroughly efficient
an institution started along the lines of
a complete and up-to-date hospital.
Regarding the conduct and adrninistra-
ton, we find that there is in effect as thor
ough a, system of bookkeeping and rec
ords as possible to bring about. within
the short time under which the present city
physician has been IN charge. Prior to his
incumbency, we find that no records were
complete, If any in fact- were attempted;
a generally loose and seemingly criminal
carelessness pervaded the entire institu-
ton. We find that, working aga inst great
odds and much opposition, the present sys-
tenn has been brought about through per-
sistent efforts Of the present city physi-
clan and his able clerk. -.
There yet remain some details of
management which We would recommend
be Immediately put in force, as in the mat
ter Of accounts with pay patients. We
believe triplicate receipt books should be
provided and used for issuing receipts for
money received. and for the taking of re-
ceipts where refunds are made We also
recommend that all moneys receives from
pay patients be immediately turned over
to the board Of charities and corrections.
We also believe that some arrangement
should be made whereby the city can
make disposition direct to those institu-
tions which under the law are entitled to
receive the unclaimed dead. : :

NEW MIcRoeE TERROR.

The tunnel microbe has made its ap-
pearance in New York City. Its pres
ence in the human system is known by
lassitude, lowered vitality, anaemia
and digestive trouble. The parasite is
known to scientists as anklostoma duo
denalis. Ii has been called st. Goth
ards disease in Europe because it
cine into prominence during the
building of the famous st. Gothard
tunnel in the south of Switzerland,
twenty-rwo years ago. Its discovery
in America was the joint work of Drs
L. ii. Warner and Storm White, ex,
pert Psychologists and psychologists.
The presence of the minute parasite
that is the cause of this disease was
discovered in the New York TUNE.
by DR.. Warner about a year ago, but nc
cases are known to have developed
until a few weeks ago.
Two suspicious cases in the neigh
borhood of the tunnel, which were sup
posed at first to be of enteric troubles
have just been investigated by Drs
Warner and White, who declare that
they are without doubt well developed
cases OF the new disease.
More important still, specimens OF
the parasite have been found in the
city water in the tunnel neighborhood
by DR.. Warner. and he says that a
spread of the disease is an imminent
denger. IL the disease is properly
identified il is said to be easily cured
and the two recorded cases in New
York were quickly brought back to
health as soon as it "a found out
what was the matter.
These troublesome little creatures
the anklostoma, have been found in
the water of the tunnel, in the city
water, and in immense quantities In
two patients.
