MCCLELLAN FOR MAYOR.
Tammany's Victory Has Sent Him to
the Front as a Candidate.

AS a result of the sweeping victory of
Tammany Hall in its own territory on cleo
tion day two conclusions have been estab-
lished in the minds of a majority of the
Tammany leaders, says the New York Herr
aid. One is that Charles F. Murphy has
established himself firmly in the leadership
of Tammany Hall, and the other is that
Representative George B. Mcclellan will
be the Tammany candidate for mayor next
year.
Col. Mcclellan is modest about the posi-
bility of his nomination to succeed Mayor
Low. He has been mentioned frequently as
a candidate before the change in Tammany
took place which raised his closest political
friend from the leadership of the eighteenth
assembly district to the head of the entire
organization. The influences heretofore in
control, however, have not been in his ia
Vor.
While Mr. Murphy's title to the leadership
rested upon the choice of the district lead
ers alone. his tenure of the place was re-
garded as uncertain. He has still only such
powers the leaders have given him, and
under the resolution by which he was ap-
pointed these are limited to giving advice,
which, to become effective must be ap-
proved by the executive committee. The
enormous Tammany vote for Mr. Coler has
strengthened his position and given him a
prestige which will make the task of the
men who desire his overthrow more difficult
than ever
So confident are Mr.. Murphy's friends
that he will be able to maintain his place
that they even say that Richard Croker
will not be permitted to assume the leader
ship If he should seek to recover 1t after
his return to this country next spring They
assert that Mr.. Croker does not desire to
take up the reins of Tammany again. but
they insist that IL he should attempt to do
so he would find majority Of the leaders
against him.
Since Mr.. Murphy became leader Col. Nc
CleIlan has been constantly at his side with
counsel and advice. Mr.. Murphy has made
no mistakes, and he has shown on several
occasions that his Judgment is sound. While
1t still remains for him to demonstrate his
ability to crush his enemies, the result of
the vote last Tuesday was an immense as
sistance to him in establishing his reputa-
ton as a leader who can produce results.
And he Is a much more important figure In
Tammany than he was before.

MUSICAL MAYOR.
E. E. Schmitz, Who Presides in City
of San Francisco

E. E. schmitz, the mayor of San Fran
cisco, arrived in this city, several days ago
and registered at the Arlington. Mr.. Schmitz
was the leader of the orchestra at the Co.
lumbia Theater when nominated by the la
Dor vote, and his candidacy was not al first
considered formidable by the other parties.
He developed great strength as the cam
paign progressed, however, and won easily.
He has made good record and is praised
by citizens regardless of party.
Under the charter the mayor Is an auto
crat. but Mayor Schmitz has been careful
and conservative, has appointed men to
office from the other parties and during
strike won encomiums for his conservative
and successful bearing. Mr.. Schmitz is tall,
handsome and distinguished looking, with
long, flowing black hair and jet black, Van
Dyke beard. His administration Is musical
In the extreme. He gives receptions and
muscales at his house, where, the pa
pers announce, the mayor plays few Sc
lections." He appointed as school director
Alfred Roncovieri a trombone soloist and
leader of a band. Frequently the mayor
joins him with his violin in a duet to drive
away the cares of official life
Mayor Schmitz Is a college graduate and
highly educated man. He called on Presi-
dent Roosevelt today and will be in the city
day or two. He has just returned from
New York, where he has been playing for
Congressman-elect Hearst in the eleventh
district campaign.

GEN. RANDoLPH's REPORT.
Artillery District Organization OF the
Sea Coast.

In his first annual report Gen. Wallace
F. Randolph, chief of artillery, says tnat
the new scheme of organization of the sea
coast into artillery districts has, as rule,
worked well. and it is thought that much
more progress in artillery efficiency has
been made under this system than would
have been possible under the old regimen
system of fire control has not been salts
factory, owing to unforeseen conditions, but
it is hoped that before the close of this
year a new system of position finding Will
be put into practice.
Gen. Randolph complained of the INSULT
Client allowance of ammunition for target
practice, holding that the recent maneuvers
have rully demonstrated the wisdom of
abundant practice with full service charges
and subcaliber practice. Attention is in
vited to the necessity Of increasing the pay
and number of electrician sergeants in view
of the impossibility of caring for the nu-
merous electrical devices at army posts
without skilled men.
At least 125 such sergeants are recon-
mended with the pay and allowances OF
f1rst-class sergeants of the signal corps.
AS another outcome of the maneuvers
Gen. Randolph demands five gunnery spe-
cialists for each company of coast artillery
who shall be allowed s. extra pay per
month. Otherwise trained men in the serv-
ice cannot be retained.
Gen. Randolph, in conclusion, declares
that the combined army and navy maneuv-
ers We're replete with interest and strongly
recommends that similar combined maneu-
vers take place annually.

MUST BE IN USE.
Property Held for Church Purposes
Not Otherwise Exempt.

Several questions Of church, property ex-
emptfon from taxatton have recently been
before the Commissioners and the assessor s
office. The Christian Endeavor Union of
the Christian churches of the city applied
for the exemption Of lot 10, in square 1862,
at the corner Of 18th and D streets south
east. 1t is the purposesto build upon the
lot in the near future Christian church.
The property, 1t was stated Is being held
purely for religious purposes. Acting upon
a report from Mr.. Darneille, the assessor,
the Commissioners have stated that the
law concerning the exemption of church
property has been uniformly acid by the
assessors office and the District board to
exempt such property from taxation only
from the time the same Is actually used for
purposes of divine worship. The lot in
question is a vacant one, and the Conilnis-
sioners say exemption cannot be allowed
until the church is erected and used for
religious purposes.
The Mount Carmel Baptist Church ap-
piled for the cancellation of a tax for 1880
against the church property. From re-
port by the assessor 1t appears the property
was first marked exempt in 1891. The tax
for $780, amounting to $53.11, Is still unpaid.
The building on the lot in question was
used by the church for purposes of divine
worship many years before tile was &C
quired to the same. 1t should have been
exempted in 1890, SO the Commissioners
have decided to order the cancellation re-
QueSted

WILL BE ABOLISHED.
Position Of Advisory Physician in the
City Post Office,

On recommendation OF most Of the post
masters concerned, the Postmaster Cen
eral has decided to abolish the office of adj
visory physician in all post offices in cities
Of 100000 inhabitants or less. About a
dozen cities, including Washington, are af-
fected by this decision, and the government
will save. 1T is thought, about SIS 600 year.
The investigation which led the POST
master General to this attitude developed,
1t Is said, that the post Of advisory ply
stefan was virtually sinecure. Postmaster
Merritt held. for example, that the work
of the advisory physician could Just as
well be done by one of the clerks in his Of
fee. and suggested that If the physician
were retained he should be made a general
utility clerk. Other postmasters took the
general ground that the post had always
been "farmed OUT as political plum, and
that often as not 1t was filed by sun
down" doctors. In many cities the salary
paid was 81, 100 year.
New York, Chicago. Philadelphia and sew
eral other cities employ so many clerks and
carriages that the service Of experienced
doctors Is necessary to the proper conduct
Of the Office. Postmaster General Payne
has SO phrased his order, therefore, as to
continue the office in those places.

DENIED BY MIR. SHAW.
Has Formed No Alliance to Oppose
Gov. Cummins.

Authoritative denial is made by Secretary
Shaw of his alleged connection with the
probable candidacy of Speaker Henderson
for governor of Iowa in opposition to Gov
ernor Cummins.
Secretary Shaw says that he has not had
talk with Speaker Henderson In weeks
and that it is untrue that he had a con-
ference recently with the Speaker, as a
result of which the Speaker decided 20 come
out for governor.
Mr.. Robert B. Armstrong, private secrs-
tary to Secretary Shaw, declared Saturday
that no political significance can be drawn
from button widely distributed in Iowa
bearing the portraits of the President and
Secretary Shaw
He said that the buttons were prepared
at the time Of the proposed visit of the
President and Secretary Shaw to Dennison.
Iowa. the Secretary's home town. during
the Presidents trip through the north
west.
They were prepared without any thought
of political significance by a non-partisan
citizens committee, and were to be given
out as souvenirs of the occasion. The Pres
ident's portrait naturally appeared first as
President of the land and the Secretary's
picture was added tribute of his towns

AT THRILLING COST.
Expense Of Investigating Panama
Canal Title Only $4,000.

At total cost of less than $4,000 the gov
eminent secured a full and trustworthy re-
port on the legal status of the Panama ca
nal, notwithstanding that there was avail
able an appropriation of $4,000, 600 with
which to pay the expenses Congress pro-
.vided sufficient money to defray all the ex-
penses Of investigating the title and 1t was
supposed that big fee would be paid to
f1rst-class lawyers to make a report 1t is
stated that on an undertaking like this the
fee of high-class attorney would probably
have been $500, 900. Attorney General Knox
decided that the government would not be
put to this expense and that he would in
vestigate the title himself. He sent his
special assistant, Mr.. Russell, to Paris, and
about six weeks later went on himself The
combined expenses footed up just a little
less than $4,000. If Mr.. Knox had done the
work for a private concern his bill would
have been close to half million dollars.

RICH COL. WETMoRE THRAsHED.
Peter Arlund Accused Millionaire Of
Having Insulted His Wife.

A st. Louis special to the New York
World says: Col. Moses C. Wetmore, MIL
lionaire and former tobacco nlagnate, was
Planters Hotel last night by Peter Arlund,
a wealthy steel manufacturer Of New o.
leans.
Arlund was waiting for Wetmore when
the latter left the cafe after supper. In
a loud voice Arlund accused the ST. Louis
millionaire and bosom friend Of w. j..
Bryan of having followed Mrs Arlund to
her room and of having insulted her. Col
onel Wetmore denied the charge, but turned
deathly pale when confronted.
Arlund insisted that he was not mistaken
and demanded an apology. In dramatic
tones Wetmore declared he would never
apologize. Arlund thereupon fell upon him
with his fists and beat Wetmore until by
ISLANDERS separated the two.
The loud tones from the two angry men
had attracted a ring Of spectators, but Ar
lund was able to get in several heavy blows
before he was interfered with. For several
pearance Arlund had been pacing back and
forth in the corridor. apparently awaiting
his man.
Immediately upon Wetmore's appearance,
Arlund stepped up to him and Inade his &C
cusation. According to mis- statements,
Wetmore had three nights ago followed
Mrs Arlund to her room. She ordered him
out and threatened to call for help. Wet
more refused to go until Mrs. Arlund was
frantic with fright and indignation. Mr..
Arlund was out of the city at ,he time.

NEW RECORD FOR THE PACIFIC.
Corea Makes Voyage From Yokohama
to San Francisco In Ten Days.

Favorable comment In shipping circles has
been caused by the surprisingly fast time
made by the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany's large new ocean liper the. Corea,
which arrived at San Francisco from Yoko-
hama on October 49,. The Corea made the
trip Of AGO miles in ten days, making an
average daily run of 40 miles. This was
four days shorter time than the best pre-
vious record for a transpacific passage, and
Is believed to mark the beginning of a new
era in both passenger and freight traffic on
the Pacific ocean.
The Corea, which Is the largest ship ever
built in the United States, and her sister
ship, the Siberia, now under construction
at Newport News, surpass the st. Louis
and the St. Paul in tonnage and diSplace-
ment. The Corea is $50 feet long between
perpendiculars.
Rapid increase in traffic between San
Francisco and China a1si Japan in recent
years has moved the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company to build the Corea and the
Siberia, and the management believes that
the freight traffic alone will make neces-
sary the addition Of other large steamships
In the near future. Rapid strides In pas
senger traffic on the Pacific ocean probably
will follow the introduction of these large,
handsomely equipped and fast steamships.
Each steamship has displacement OF
$4,000 tons and up-to-date accommodations
for 260 passengers.

HAVANA CONSULATE GENERAL.
No Basis for Reported Candidacy OF
Frank Steinhart

Inquiry here fails to develop a reasonable
basis for the reported candidacy or FRANK
stenhart for United States consulate gen.
eral at Havana as reported from that city.
Mr. Steinhart is chief clerk of the bureau
of insular affairs here, but at present ne Is
in Havana detailed to settle up the AFFAIRS
of the late United States military govern
ment there and care for the records, which
are in course of transfer to the Cuban gov
eminent.
He has thus come, into contact with the
Cuban officials who have been favorably
impressed with his personalities, and
would like to see him appointed consul
general But it happens that Gen. Bragg,
who was the consul general at Havana,
has already been replaced by Mr.. Rublee,
who was transferred from Hong Kong for
that purpose, and while the latter has not
vet reached Havana he is on his way there
and there is no vacancy for Mr.. Stetnhart
to fill.
