M'CARREN FOR LEADER.
PLAN TO MAKE HIM NOMINEE FOR
UNITED STATES SENATOR AND CON
FUSION MAY RESULT.

The Brooklyn friends Of Senator P. II. Nc
Carren are booming him for the Democratic
leadership of the State by suggesting that he
stand as a candidate for United States Senator
to succeed Senator Plat. AS the friends of eX-
Senator Hill are likely to vote for him for that
honor, the action of McCarren would invite
test of strength between the Albany man who
mismanaged the last campaign and McCarren
who was sidetracked for John y. Carlisle before
the campaign opened. McCarren was selected
by Hill for chairman of the campaign commit
tee. As soon as Coler was nominated, however
he and his friends made it plain to Hill that
McCarren would not do. Mr.. Hill asked Mr.
Coler's friends whom they wanted. and they
took week to decide on John y. Carlisle or
WATERFOWL Mr.. Carlisle told Tribune re-
porter that the farmers were thickheaded' ana
when he saw how II looked in print he sent tele-
grams 10 all the up-country Democratic papers
repudiating The Tribune's interview with him.
McCarren wanted Judge Parker nominated.
and even when Hill suggested that Parker
would not do it is a matter of history that Nc
Carren hung out for Parker until the venerable
Boss Mclaughlin made a trip 10 Saratoga ana
compelled the Brooklyn delegates to get IN hhe

stand by his old leader and prevent his humilia-
ton. Furthermore, McCarren would have less

doing business at the old stand, and he thinks
Hill is the only man fit for State leadership.

MAY RUIN SPECTATORS.

DELAY CAUSED BY FIRE WOULD HURT
VALUE OF LAND TO BE OPENED UP.
The delay in the completion of the New East
River Bridge as the result Of the fire will mean
the loss Of many thousands of dollars. and may
result in the ruin OF many who have speculated
in land in the region which the structure will
open up.
Much of this land is bought on a margin and
must be realized within a certain time,
the bonus will be lost. Consequently a delay
might possibly result in the losses indicated.

Twice the hose burst and had to be restretched.

through clear to the top of the tower, and
Squirted feebly out the Smouldering flames.
The stream was so feeble. however, that il had
no appreciabe effect, and the effort was not
long kept up
Chief Croker said that the fire started from a
forge used TO heat rivets that stood in the tool

treme top. The burning timbers and oils that
fell through to the storehouse on the promenade
