Washington, October 4.-(Special)-It does not take a very long-headed politi- clan to understand the reason animating the New York city republicans in their efforts to keep national issues out of the campaign this fall. On a question of de- mocraey vs republicanism there Is no doubt of the result. Therefore, if the Tammany wolf cry can be raised in suf- ficient volume to defeat the democratic tiekAt it will be fine thing for the re- publieans to have the city in their con trol when the national election takes place next fall
 The democratic leaders in the big city seem to realize this fact and will doubt less rally against the lower republican ticket masquerading under the guise of citizen union purity anent national is- sues.
 George B. Mcclellan, the democratic nominee for mayor, can at least be said to be sound on the foremost issue of the

AMERICANS ARE THANKED.
Cardinal Richard Sends Letter to the
 Catholic Societies.

Cincinnati, October Additional Secre- tary Anthony Matre of the American Federation of Catholic societies received a letter from Cardinal Richard, the arch bishop of Paris, today, in which the writer expresses his sincerest thanks to the American Federation of Catholic so- cieties for the expressions of sympathy which that organization has extended to the bishops and the religious of France. Secretary Matre says;
 soThis letter will serve as a bitter re- buke to certain reports which have gain ed ground in this country and elsewhere that the cardinal and certain bishops of France as well as all the secular clergy seemed quietly pleased that the religious orders are being expelled and are far from being sorry for the prevailing per- secution. The American Catholics have at all times taken 8 sympathetic view of the religious prosecutions in France, and welcomed to America many of those ex- fled"
 The expressions of the archbishop re- ferred to were embodied in resolutions adopted at Atlantic City. A copy of these resolutions was sent at that time to President Loubet and Premier Combes, to inform them officially that the Catho- lies of America condemn the persecution of their religious brethren in France.

CIRCUIT CAN'T WELL
 TAKE BACK WATER
SAYS LOW AND CUTTING FIRST AGREED TO ENDORSEMENT BY TAMMANY, BUT PLATT AND
 WOODRUFF CHANGED HIS MIND

New York, October 4.-Comptroller Grout today issued a statement in regard to the statement made yesterday by Mayor Low to the effect that Mir Grout had once suggested to him the possibility that he might be offered a Tammany nomination, but that in the event he would continue to support MT. Low. His suggestion. MT. Low said, he did not regard seriously. MT. Grout says in part:
 q think MT. Low will recall another conference with me- about two weeks ago. 1 told him that the talk of an en- dorsement by Tammany seemed to be coming from various directions. That I had deemed it an impossibility, but that now 1t began to seem possible, though I could not yet think it probable. l said I could receive 1t only if made uncondi- tionally, and that 1 would not permit it to silence>me in the campaign; that under these conditions 1t seemed to me 1t would be a tower of strength to MT. Low, and that I might properly accept. MT. Low distinctly assented to this view.
 T wish people to recall that one week ago MT. Cutting said publicly the same thing. that is, that he could see no req soon by such an endorsement made with out conditions, should not be accepted. l suppose l may not complain If during the past week MT. Low and MT. Cutting, under the impulse of MT Platt MT. Woodruff and MT. Bruce, have revised their opinions. Last Monday I told MT. Low that the only alternative fairly left me was either to accept all nominations and endorsements or else decline all, in- cluding the fusion. He then refused to listen to such a declination and it was at his suggestion that the formal notifica- tions proceeded that day. If he were ever to have taken the position he now takes, 1t would have been fairer to have taken 1t a week ago.
 conversation 1 now bring to his attention. he will admit that he then thought such an endorsement would be distinct tacti- cal advantage to him in the campaign. By the action of the democratic conven- tion Mir. Low has gained that tactical ad- vantage. He has gained all he can gain thereby, whether Mir. Fornes and I are retained on the fusion ticket or not. And, having won the advantage which he is quite willing should be won for him. it seems he Is now willing at a demand in- spred by T. c. Platt and his associates, to have MT. Fornes and myself cast from his ticket"

 The Erie L. Hackley was a 54-ton screw steamer which was built at Muskegon, Mich, in 1882. The Hackley was owned in Fish Creek by Captain Vorous and other residents of that village. The steamer made a trip every other day and back the next.
 Purser Describes Disaster.
 Sturgeon Bay. Wis. October 4-Purser Blaketied, one of the survivors of the Hackley, who was on the steamer She hoygan when 1t reached here, said:
 "A squall struck us about o'clock, just as We were above Green Island. When the first fierce gust hit us the cap tain tried to throw the boat up into the river but his efforts to do so were un- availing.
 Then, of sudden, she lifted and be- gan to fill with water. Realizing that the passengers and crew were panic stricken, l left the captain In the pilot house and ran aft to let down the life boat. By the time I got aft the Hackley was filling so rapidly that it was appa- rent that it would be impossible to launch any boat. There came another fierce
 
 board. Then the steamer began to sink rapidly and 1t was apparent her settling would be a question of only a few mo- ments.
 Eighteen of the nineteen people aboard were gathered on the deck most of them in a state of frantic panic. The situation was made particularly heart- rending by the women who shouted hys- terically, imploring the men 10 save them, and accompanied their appeals for assls- tance with prayers. I gave orders for the men to put the women off first They did so and behaved well, every man remain- ing on the sinking boat until the women had been placed on pieces of the cabin and other wreckage.
 'Evary man found something to float on excepI the captain who remained in the pilothouse to the last, doing his best to reach the boat and he finally went down with her.
 We tioated few minutes in sight of each other. but soon darkness came on and we separated. The last person that l saw was the two Vincent girls from Egg Harbor. who were floating to- gether. They made brave struggle for their lives.
 Bitten by the cold wind and benumbed by the colder water. we drifted until picked up by the Sheboygan."

day-the tariff. His record on the ways and means committee has been democrat ic throughout. When the Cuban reciproc- ity measure was pending in the first ses- sion of the last congress Mir. McClellan's minority report from the committee rep resented the best democratic sentiment, and he was warmly congratulated upon It. This bill provided for a 20 per cent reduction of the Dingley tariff rate. In a strong report MT. Mcclellan urged an increase in the rate of reduction. but took the position that 20 per cent was better than no reduction and in case his amend ments were defeated he would vote for the bill 1t being "a breach in the wall of protection and lower in part the prepos- terous Dingey rates" He further said that the republicans in reporting such bill have torn a leaf from the gospel of democracy, as written by the democratic evangelist. Thomas Jefferson, and tried to copyright it as a new dispensation of republican dogma. The reciprocal feat ure of this bill may well cause republi- cans to hesitate. for it is the purest, most unadulterated democracy"

 As the Hackley went to the bottom, those who could. seized floating wreck age, while the women and three or four men, failing to find any object to cling to, sank in the whirlpool. Huge waves rolled and the several who had found a hold on any part of the vessel, finally lost strength and sank. It was more than an hour after the Hacl1ley sank before the Sheboygan hove within hailing distance
 1t was the shouts of the victims in the water that attracted the attention of the Sheboygan. The darkness made rescue slow. but the officers of the Sheboygan feel sure that they took aboard every person afoat.
 Some of the people who were rescued say that 1t is possible that one or more of the twelve persons missing may have escaped death This view, however, is not given hitch credence by the sailors of the Shebovgan.
 The rescued persons were so exhausted from their struggles against drowning that they were unable for some time to tell anything about the wreck. The per- sons saved by the Sheboygan say that on the carrying away of the upper work all persons aboard the Hackley ran on deck. Nasty preparations for plunge into the water was begun, but before any plans

SOLDIERS HAVE A REST.
Ten Thousand Weary Men Glad to
 Spend an Idle Day.

Camp Young. West Point, Ky, Octo- Der 4-Ten thousand weary soldiers at Camp Young for the maneuvers found Sunday a welcome day of rest after a week of hard hiking over the Ken lucky hills. There was no work of any kind save, perhaps, that done by Colonel Wagner the chief umpire, and his as- sistants, busy with the problem for to- morrow's maneuver
 Divine services for each brigade in camp were held during the morning On account of the absence of many chap lains from their commands, due to ill- ness and other causes. soldiers from two or three regiments participated in each service The Michigan brigade attended a military mass conducted by Father Kelly. The mass was sung in a huge tent provided by the Michigan branches of the Knights of Columbus.
 During the afternoon, the camp was inspected by thousands of sight-seers from Louisville and the surrounding country. Three regimenta1 bands gave concerts in the open air. The maneuver arranged for tomorrow is one of the most important of the entire series.
 Governor Durbin of Indiana slept with hls states militia. which bivouaced to- night six miles from camp on the Nash vile pike.

BUCHANAN SORE
 ON SAMUEL PARKS
SAYS HE WILL SEE THAT THERE IS NO STRIKE ON THE EAST RIVER BRIDGE IN THE CITY os NEW YORK.

Kansas City, Mo-, October 4.-President Buchanan, former Vice President Butler. Secretary Treasurer Johnston, James the executive board of Ironworkers' union, left for home tonight. The execu- tive board met last night, but did no business, and it is expected that the board will meet in New York within two weeks.
 Before Sam Parks left for New York Saturday night he said:
 When I came here, l said there would be a strike called on the East river bridge. Since they want Buchanan, that goes"
 President Buchanan said tonight:
 'As the head of the International or der I say there will be no strike of bridgemen on the East river bridge. I can rally to my support 37oO men in New York city today. Sasnuel Parks has dug his own grave, and he will be repudiated by his own people
 For the first time I will express my self on certain events of the convention. In the first place I think a great mis- take was made in seating New York No. ?. It had been suspended at the request of the better element of the union. Re- peatedly I was urged to take such ac- tion, but did not do so until the matter was brought up in the executive board meeting, notwithstanding what the Parks people may say. After reviewing the situation, I said I believed it my duty to suspend that local There was no protest, and accordingly, I did SO. Had the convention been in possession of the facts, perhaps it's action would have been different. A committee of the better element was to come from New York and present it's side The majority of the delegates from the first believed No. should be represented, and when 1t became evident that this was to be the sense of the convention, the other dele gation was wired not to come The un- seating of Parks here. however, would have hastened what now is bound to come, his elimination as a power in the labor circles of New York city The fight will now be carried on in the east, but the result will be the same.
 "As to Parks declaration that he has tied my hands by electing an executive board favorable to him. that Is nonsense I know l have the support of four out of six, not counting my own vote"

VOTERS PAYING TO
 HEAR CHAMBERLAIN
FREE TICKETS TO HALL WHERE HE WILL SPEAK ARE NOW BE- ING SOLD FOR $1o EAcH-THE PAPERS cRITIcIsE HIM.

London, October 4.-Probably because of the nearness of his Glasgow speech, Mir. Chamberlain's preface to the fiscal pamphlet written by c. A. Vince secre- tary to his tariff organization, a long notice of which was cabled by the Asso- ciated Press, receiving scant notice in the press this morning. and that not of com plimentary character.
 The Standard says:
 These few pages of rather angry rhe- toric do not enable us to form any fair estimate regarding his proposals.'
 Anixety in Glasgow to hear MT Cham berlains first speech on the absorbing topic of the day has reached fever heat. Over coco applications have been received for seats next Tuesday night in St An drews Hall, whose accommodation is only 5000, and with the result that tickets origi- nally issued free are now selling at s10 a piece.
 Writing in reply to a correspondents inquiry MT. Chamberlain says that the idea that fiscal reform would in any way hasten or encourage the formation of trusts, appears to him to be entirely with out foundation.
 No cabinet announcements have yet been made. The king will hold a council for the exchanges of seals next Friday. The rumor is current that the persistent delay in settling the crisis Is due to the fndecision of the Duke of Devonshire, who, it is alleged, has sent his conditional resignation to MT. Balfour.
 London, October 5.-The Times this morning publishes a curious sort of an apology for MT. Balfour's concealment of MT. Chamberlain's resignation. It says:
 I've are in a position to affirm that the proceedings at the cabinet council of Sep tember ii made it clear to the other min isters that MT. Chamberlain was unable to accept himself the policy laid down by the premier, and that he might, in onrcnn,,nnca he axnactad tn lesia,,

was elected When the cardinal observed that the suffrages for him were augment ing, he was visibly disturbed, and in fervent speech he implored his colleagues not to regard him as a candidate. Con- trary to his wishes the votes for him increased. He then became alarmed and in a second speech, in most pathetic language he again besought the cardi- nals to forget his name, as he could not accept a burden too heavy for him to bear All were moved by the modesty and transparent sincerity of the man. When he resumed his seat, his cheeks were suffused with bushes, tears were gushing from his eyes and his body trembed with emotion. 1t was only af- ter some of the leading cardinals en- treated him to withdraw his opposition, that he finally and reluctantly consented to abide by the will of God and accept the sacrifice
 Never did a prisoner make greater eff forts to escape from his confinement thsp did Cardinal Sarto to escape from ' yoke of the papacy. With his divine Master, he exclaimed, Father if 1t be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but Thine. be done When his election was officially announced, his florid countenance as- sumed deathly pallor, and restoratives were applied to save him from faintng. So little did Cardinal Sarto expect to be the choice of his colleagues that on set ting out for Rome he purchased a return ticket to his home in Venice.
 "Pius x. is in his sixty-ninth year. He is of the same age that Leo XIII. had at- tained when he ascended the papal chair. He has had a large and varied experi- ence in the sacred ministry. He con secutively filled the office of assistant priest, of pastor. of chancellor and vicar general. He was elected afterward to the see of Mantua, the home of the illus trious Virgil. He was subsequently, pro- noted to the patriarchial see of Venice.
 The virtues of humility, sincerity, can dor and benevolence are stamped on his features. l can characterize him in one sentence by saying that he is man of God and man of the people, His name is idolized in Venice and along the Adri- atic on account of his charities towards the poor
