VALE CROKER! HAIL NIXON!
THE BOSS HAS ANOTHER ATTACK OF RESIGNLNG AND
THE VICE-RUNTER IS THE "COMEOM"
VS. ON THE LATEST "R.

Richard Croker. the dictator OF Tammany
Hall, has resigned" again. He did il with
tears in his eyes yesterday afternoon at the
meeting of the Tammany executive committee.
after bringing about the designation Of Lewis
Nixon as his successor as the head Of the finance
committee, which is understood in Tammany
circles as carrying with it the leadership of the
organization.
Richard Croker resigned the leadership or
Tammany and went away 10 England in the
early winter Of 1895. following the overthrow Of
Tammany in the Strong Mayoralty campaign.
Then. yesterday. he resigned" the leader
ship of the organization, and John c. Sheehan
was elected in his place. Croker at that time
said he never would re-enter politics. In the
summer of 1897, when it became apparent that
Tammany had an even chance to win. Richard
Croker returned to New-York from his home at
Vantage. England, "goldbriched" Mr.. Sheehan.
the leader, into accepting Van Wyck
Mayoralty candidate. elected his man. and then
drove Sheehan out Of Tammany Hall.
That is why his resignation yesterday IS
looked upon as little better than a farce. By
leaving town now, he viii escape. he did in
1895, 1896 and part of 1897, the opportunities
of unfortunate Tammany politicians who
that they have lost their places. will soon be
without visible of support.
Not a little surprise was expressed last night
that so able a business Mr. Nixon
should be induced, under such transparent con-
ditions to accept in good faitn the words and
actions of the discredited Boss of Tammany
Hall.
NOT WITHOUT THEATRIC BELONGINGS.
MI Croker's retirement" from the Wigwam
was not without its theatric belongings 1t was
the first the public session of the execu
tive committee in the last two years. The COM
mittee met promptly at o'clock with Daniel
F. Mcmahon presiding, Michael T. Daily and
George F. Scannell as secretaries, and the ever
faithful Tommy Smith reading secretary.
Ex-Judge George NJ. Van Hoesen submitted
the prepared list Of committee names. In doing
this. he said, with almost fearful dignity:
There is one change in the list sufficiently
notable to merit special attention. and that is
in the Craftsmanship of the finance committee.
For reasons of his own, Mr.. Croker has declined
to serve in that capacity during the year 1907
/ have nominated as his successor in that posi-
ton Lewis Nixon-a nomination which. believe.
will meet with the approval Of all L would add
that this nomination is made with the full ap-
proVal OF Mr.. Croker.
There were no eXclamatons of alarm and no
sounds of sobbing lamentaton as Mr.. Van
Hoesen looked around to the effect of his
words The executive committee knew already
of the shipment by Mr.. Croker of most of his
nersonal household effects to Vantage, Eng
land last week.

TAPS FOR GENERAL SIGEL
SIMPLE AND UNOsTENTATIOUs FUN
ERAL FOR THE OLD SOLDIER.
Comrades of Two Wars Speak EuIO-
gies of Their Dead Leader-CarI
schurz One of the Speakers.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Taps was sounded
to-day for Gen. Franz Sigel. Simple and
unostentatious was his funeral. Surround
ing the flag-covered coffin wherein lay the
dead general, attired in the well-wOrn
uniform he had used during the war stood
the few surviving comrades who had fought
shoulder TO shoulder with the veteran in
wars in two hemispheres. Some of these
spoke simple eulogies, and then the body
was carried to its last resting place in
Woodlawn Cemetery followed by a long
line of Scared and crippled veterans bear
ing with them tattered flags.
Conspicuous among those who paid trib-
ute to the memory of General Sigel was
Carl Schurz, his comrade-at-arms, first in
the great uprising which swept Europe in
1913 and later in the civil war. AS Mr.
Schurz stood by the bier of his dead friend
and recalled the battles in which they had
fought together, he gave way to emotion
and had TO lean heavily on the lid of the
coffin.
For three hours the body lay in state, and
during that time at least 10000 persons filed
past. There were several relatives, the
chief mourneTs being the widow of General
Sigel. his four sons. Franz, jr., Rudolph.
Robert and Paul, his daughter, Mrs. Leila
Schehl, and members of their respective
families. Following them came the ora

BUFFALO, Aug. 24-United States Senator
Niagara Fails. He was accompanied by
his daughter, Miss Ruth Hanna, and her
friend. Miss Phelps, of Cleveland. They
were on their way home to Cleveland from
Niagara Falls. After a drive around the
city they returned to Cleveland tonight on
the boat. For the first time Senator Hanna
sated his abandonment finally of all eff
forts to end the coal strike. He believes
that the operators should meet the miners
in arbitration.
Il have exhausted my efforts" said Sem
atOr Hanna. II have done all in my power
and can do no more. l will make no fur
ther attempts. for it would be useless"
He said there was no chance of arbitra-
ton so long as only one side, the miners.
was willing to arbitrate. He gave it as
his opinion that the miners will not give
in so long as they able to fight.
1T will not be a short fight" said he.
'It will be prolonged. and such prolonga-
tion will mean not only hardships for the
miners and the women and children ~de-
pendent on them. but it will have its effect
on the American people. The longer the
struggle continues the greater will be the
increase in the price of coal"
He said he considered the refusal of the
operators to arbitrate as final. ''I talked
with Mr.. Morgan before he went to Eu-
rope" continued the senator, "and before
the strike was fully under way. He de-
plored the situation, but would take no
active part toward a settlement. His atti-
tude, in my opinion, is unchanged"

HIS DIFFICULT PROBLEM.
Justice of the Peace Question Up to
Chairman Elliott.

1t is rather difficult problem that Chair
man Elliott, of the Marion county Repub-
lican committee, has confronting him. as
a result of the failure of the suburb of
Norwood to incorporate Had the people
of the village decided to incorporate the
five justices of the peace and the five con-
stables nominated by the Republicans at
their primaries last March could be voted
for legally. AS the situation now is there
are five candidates and only four places
to fill Under the law Center township
can have but four justices of the peace,
and the same number of constables. When
Chairman Spencer issued his call for pri-
maries he announced that there were four
justices to nominate. The Democratic
chairman profited by some facts that de-
veloped after the Republicans had held
their primaries. At the time Chairman FL
lott issued his call for primaries il was
supposed that an extra justice of the peace
would be required for lrvington, although
that suburb had been annexed. The Coun-
ty Commissioners having declared that
Center township is only entitled to four
justices. since Norwood failed to incor-
porate, one man must get of the ticket
other primaries or convention must be
held. The four justices renominated were
Messrs. Nickerson. SmOck. Sheppard and
Stout. James McNulty was also nominated,
making the five candidates. McNulty re-
cev5d the lowest vote and the other can
didates thing he ought TO get off the ticket
They are not in favor of holding another
primary. McNulty declines 10 withdraw
cOntending that IL the primaries called by
Chairman Elliott were legal he was legally
nominated. Ii is suggested by some that If
primaries held again McNuty will
probably be one of the successful candi-
dates, because OF the feeling stirred UP
over the matter and the fact that he was
the lowest man on the ticket before.
IL was remarked last night by a politi-
clan that the County Commissioners having
the right to fix the number of justices
the township should have could, if the
board desired. FIX the number al three
instead OF four. and in that event the
Democrats would be in as bad a predica-
ment the Republicans. However" said
the politician, that wouldn't make any
difference TO them, because they could
easily get one man off their ticket With
the Democrats in this county il seems TO
be a question of how to keep men on the
ticket instead of how TO get them off
Chairman Elliott has called "A meeting
of his executive committee for this evening

cussed in all its confusing details

TO BE DISSOLVED SOON
FEDERAL TELEPHONE COMPANY
WILL PASS OUT OF EXISTENCE.
Everett-MOore Syndicate Decides to
Wind Up the Affairs of that Part
of Its Holdings.

CLEVELAND. Aug. A.-The Everett
Moore syndicate has changed its plans with
reference to the Federal Telephone Com
pany and no further effort will be made TO
bring about reorganization of that com
pany. To-day it was learned that not
single company would remain the property
of in control of the Federal Telephone
Company and that that organization would
speedily go out of existence.
Henry A. Everett said that the intention
is to fully protect stockholders of the Fed
eral Company and to bring about dissolu-
ton of the company in about a month. Ii
is not the present intention to keep a single
company in connection with the Federal
Telephone Company The United States
Telephone Company and the Cuyahoga
Telephone Companies will be handled as
separate properties.
A development with regard to the Peo-
pies Telephone Company at Detroit is ex-
pected soon, and is TO be arranged by an
attorney. 1t is believed that the money
obtained from the sale of the smaller COM
panies will more than offset the indebted
ness of the Federal Telephone Company.

KINGSTON, Aug. A-Details of the cap
ture of the Colombian government gunboat
Boyaca by the insurgents outside of Pan
anna have reached here. The Boyaca was
captured on Aug. l by the insurgent gun
boat Padilla after a short and unequal
fight. She had on board at the time nearly
800 soldiers under the command of Generals
Ferrero and Enao, who were to reinforce
General Morales Berti at Aqua Duce. The
Boyaca also carried several colonels, a sup
ply of ammunition and a considerable sum
of money An American gunner named
Rose, who was serving on board the Boy
aca declined TO sail on her last and fatal
expedition. Flying the insurgent flag, the
Boyaca is now guarding the entrance to the
Panama harbor, presumably with the in
tention of preventing steamers or other
vessels bringing government reinforcements

Nothing definite is known the isthmus
of the situation of the government Gen.
Morales Berti is at Aqua Dulce. but many
persons believe that the general. after
withstanding a siege of several days. dur
ing which his forces were subjected. chiefly
at night to a severe artillery fire from
the insurgents. perceived the hopelessness
of receiving reinfOrcements and supplies
from Panama and was forced 10 surrender
the troops OF his command to the 1nSur-
gents whose forces in the Aqua Dulce dis
trict said TO number between 1000 and
5000 men.
If the reported surrender of the govern
ment forces at Aqua Dulce is true, the in
surgent General Herrera is confronted by a
big problem TO provide food and shelter for

ment. Owing TO the fact that the govern
ment line of communication between Pan
anna and Aqua Dulce is broken, but little
news reaches Panama from the seat of war.
