New York. October 5.-It is denied
again today that Comptroller Grout
and President Fornes. of the board of
aldermen will voluntarily withdraw
from the fusion ticket. The compliCa-
ton that has arisen over the accept
ance by them of the democratic Ell
dorsement ~IrlnainS the major feature
of the political situation in Greater
New York, and the fight for and
1t is down to a question Of memory
and VeraCity between Mayor Low and
Comptroller GrOut as to the formers
knowledge Of the latter's plan to accept
democratic endorsement. The mayor
in rejolnder to the last letter of the
comptroller says he has no recollection
Of a second conversation about the
democrats.
Mr.. Circuit made another contribu-
ton to the campaign of pamphlets to-
day. 1t was a letter to r. Fulton Cut
ting, chairman Of the Citizens Union
Committee discussing the so-cal!ed
pledge of the Citizens Union not to
vote for any Tammany candidate. lie
takes direct issue with Mr.. Cutting and
asserts that the pledge does not exist
or if it exists it is violated. Mr. Grout
writes that the letter of Mr.. Cutting
on the third instant shows Most re-
markable change and inconsistency in
views.
Leader Murphy of Tammany today
denied that there was any intention TO
ask MessrS. Grout and Fornes to get
off the fusion ticket, or that they would
be asked TO leave the democratic ticket.

London, October 5.-The three weeks
cabinet crisis has ended in a manner
more remarkable and dramatic than
that of its inception. Mr.. B~alrour's new
ministry attests a measure Of the enor-
nous difficulty he has had to contend
with in the task of reconstruction, and
It's composition seems to indicate that
the premier himself can have little be-
lief of its durability. The most san
gulne supporters of the government to-
night express the smallest hopes of such
an administra ton living many months
and the prevalent ida is that there will
be a general election before parliament
reassembles.
The withdrawal Of the Duke of Dew
onshire is a heavy blow. Had he re-
manned, the government might posi-
bly, have survived another parliament
tary session by avoiding legislation
dealing with the fiscal problem, but
with him goes the support of the strong
part of liberal unionists in the country.
Though it is generally admitted that
it is difficult to understand why the
Duke did not resign when Mr.. Richie
and the others seeded, it is recalled
SAN ~ PNCi4SIS 1OIlS dSo
that he considered it his duty to hold
office as long as possible in the interest
of free trade.
One consequence of the Duke of Dew
onshire's retirement is extremely unfor-
mate for the government. 1t will
bring the leadership of the house of
lords to unpopular Lord Lansdowne.
No successor has yet been appointed
to the Duke of Devonshipe and several
minor government officers still remain
vacant. OF the new appointments an
nounced tonight, the most surprising is
that of the Hon.. Alfrd Lyttelton as
secretary for the colonies. Mr.. Lyttel-
ton is a man of acknowledged ability
and a good speaker, but he has had no
ministerial experience whatever.
The new cabinet is composed as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Brodrick, formerly secretary for
war. succeeds Lord George Hamilton
as secretary for India
Austen Chamberlain, postmaster gen
eral, succeeds Mr.. Richie as chancellor
Of the eXchequer.
Alfred Lyttelton, recorder of Oxford,
succeeds Joseph Chamberlain as secre-
tary for war.
o A. R.. Arnold, secretary to the
admiralty, succeeds Mr.. Brodrick as
secretary for war.
Graham Murray, Lord Advocate OF
Scotland, succeeds Lord Balfour, of
Burleigh as secretary for Scotland.
Lord Stanley, financial secretary Of
the war office, succeeds Austen Cham
brlain as postmaster general.

A Serious Mishap,

The initiative faculty is the most
valuable mental gift which a civil
servant can possess, says the Londoa
Daily Chronicle, as his success largely
depends pom his ability to repeat Off
cial formulate n to write documents
in the style of his superior, who will
sign them. Negroes are admirable
imitators, and they make excellent civil
servants. Here is a letter from a Gold
coast postman to his postmaster:
Dear Master-I have the pleasure to
regret to inform you that when I go
bath today a billow he remove my
trousers. Dear master, how car 1 go
on duty with only one trouser? If he
get loss where am 1? Kind write Ac-
era that they send me one more trous-

LOCAL INTEREST IN

Gardner Not Surprised at Showing
Hart Made Against O'Brien.
Much local interest is being DISPLAYED
in the George Gardner and Marvin
Hart bout, which will take place at
Louisville, KY, next Tuesday night.
Much speculation has been heard as to
what Gardner thinks of the good show
ing Hart put up against Jack O'Brien
at Philadelphia last Tuesday night. In
a recent interview Gardner said of the
bout:
Hart should have defeated O'Brien
with the pull he had in weights. l
would have been disappointed if he
had not bested O'Brien. This only adds
TO the Importance Of our match, and
shows that l will have in Hart a man
who will make me go some. 1 only
hope that he did not hurt his hands
or injure himself in any way. 1 al
ways box better when l am sure the
other man is in the best of condition.
AS for O'Brien, there is no chance in
the world to get him into a match
with me, and yet l would be willing
to come down to almost the weight at
which he fights
The admirers of O'Brien in the city,
of which there are a good many, do
not think Gardner would have the easy
time he seems to belive he would in d
match with the former, and they would
like to see them in the ring at nearly
equal weights.

STUDENT HAS SMALLPOX.
Miss Perkins of. the G. n. and I. Col
IeEe Is Afflicted.

Milledgeville. Ga, May s.-Miss
Claudia Perkins, student of the Geor-
gia Normal and Industrial College,
boarding at the Mansion. developed a
case of what is pronounced by her
physicians to be mild case of small
pox. The school authorities have taken
every precaution to prevent the spread
of the disease.
DR.. Chappell has sent a written state
ment to the parents of the students,
giving the facts and assuring them
that there is no danger of the disease
becoming epidemic in the school, as
the young lady has been removed to a
house some distance from. the school
and placed in the care of nurses. He
urges the parents to- let their daugh-
ters remain, as he will himself close
the school if the disease should take d
serious turn.
Atkinson Hall, the other dormitory,
is some distance from the Mansion, and
there is no probability that the dis
ease will spread, as all the students at
the Mansion have been placed under
quarantine The students are cheerful
and happy, and but for the fact they
are all being vaccif1ated, everything is
going along as usual.

Will Race in Atlanta for Big Money
Monday and Tuesday and Race
Here Late in Week.
Harry Elks will race Bobby Walthour
in the Atlanta Coliseum Monday and
Tuesday nights for a guarantee of ST.
900 for each race, all expenses and a
side bet of $500. The race Monday
night will be three heats of five miles
each, the winner to take two out of
three heats. On Tuesday night a sin
gle heat of ten miles will be ridden.
1t is said to be unquestionably the
highest priced race ever ridden in the
South, So, 900 being up on the turn of
the trick.
Elks is training hard for the match
and expects to be in his prime condi-
ton. He states that he is now in ex-
cellent health and is confident of de-
feating Walthour.
The Atlanta papers state that Wal
thour demonstrated Tuesday night that
his old-time form is with him and
that he is prepared to give Elks just
exactly what he has given all the rid
ers, a good run for their money, and
then win out. Elks is a prime favorite
In the North and we'll known in this
section. Both of the men will meet
a number of times this season, as both
ride in the circuit.
Both of the riders will be seen here
next week, probably Thursday or Fri

Rut the Blow Which Blew Things
Down Last Night May Trouble Him
Aboard ship.
A telegram was received from Phil
adelphia yesterday morning that Jack
Falvey was ready to come to Savannah
and would leave last night by steamer.
As nothing to the contrary has been
heard the management of the Savannah
Athletic Club feels assured that he is
on his way here and will be here in
time to meet Gus Gardner next We'd
nesday night.
Gardner is working out regularly on
the road and in his training quarters
at the Empire Park at Thunderbolt
and thinks there will be nothing left
10 be done when the date of the bout
arrives. F'alvey will keep in condition
by working out while aboard ship on
his way down, and will be in good con-
dition no doubt, unless the good craft
runs into the thick of the storm which
bothered Savannah yesterday and
last night, in which event he may tenn
porarily lose his equilibrium and be-
come over trained in the matter of
working out"
Should the steamer which carries
him run into foul weather, which is all
together likely from the appearance of
things and the direction of the wind
ashore, it is hoped he will
prove himself good seaman
and developed physically by means
of the catch-as-catch-can doings
he is bound to get mixed in in
stead of being put down and out by
Kid Nal der Mer,"s and requiring
several days to recover and a conse-
quent postponement of the bout in the
ring.
