In fact, I was assured that NO repub-
lican candidate could command higher
confidence or raise more money among
the financial circles of New York state,
and from that point Of view Judge Parker
would be quite as strong as Roosevelt or
any other man the republicans may nonli-
nate.
The democratic party of New York is
in better shape to-day than it has been
since Grover Cleveland was first elected
president. Nearly all factional lines have
been wiped out, and you will remember
at the last election the republican gov
ernor received only $500 plurality. and
If it had not been for the socialistfc coal
plank which Senator Hill placed In the
platform, and. his arbitrary treatment OF
the delegations from Albany, Troy and
Clinton counties In the state convention,
Bird S. Coler would have received a con-
siderable majority. So.
Parker is acceptable to Herrick, Muir.
phy and Weed as well as to sEammany ard
anti-Tammany organizations in New York
city. One of the grievances against. Hill
is that he declined to consent to the nomi-
nation Of Parker as, the democratic can
didate for governor last fall and insisted
upon having Coler. This however, Is IN
true. Hill would hav been gratif1ed If
Parker had been willing to accept the
nomination and consulted with him about
1t, but Parker has nine years yet to serve
s1pPSe1A'
at a. salary of $780,, and did not feel
like resigning that office and allowing the
governor to appoint republican, as
would have been necessary as long as
there was only bare chance of his cleo
ton as governor. For this reason he re-
fused to have his name considered, and
Hill was compelled to take Coler.
Biography Of Judge Parker.
Parker Is without doubt the most pop
,,1.~ in,
born in Worcester, Mass. fifty-one years
ago. When he was a lad his parents
moved to Cortland county, New York,
where he was educated at the academy.
IIe afterward took a course at the Albany
law school, graduating in 1872. He set
tied in Kingston on the Hudson, just
below Albany, and continued in the prac-
tice of his profession until 1877, when he
was elected surrogate. He served in that
office until 1885. when David r. Hill, then
governor appointed him to a vacancy
upon the bench of the supreme court
He was the youngest man ever selected
for so high a judicial position, except
John Jay, being only "a years Of age. In
1896 he was elected by over 10000 ma
jority chief justice of the court of ap-
peals, the highest judicial office in the
state Of New York, being then 46 years
old. His popularity may be appreciated
by the fact that Mckinley received c6S, 46e
plurality for president and Black (rep.)
212.992 plurality for governor at the cleo
ton. Parker was the only democrat
elected in New York that year. His op-
ponent Judge Wallace Of the United
States district court, a man of high char
acter and attainments. T..
The gentlemen who are conducting his
campaign for the presidency suggest that
If Parker can run $4,000 votes ahead Of
his ticket at am election like that Of 1896
and in a presidential year he will give
Roosevelt a FRAGILE dazzle il they should
meet at the polls in 1904.

was no way out but to climb the al

to grasp the end of his pickaX and give
him the handle and the former, who is
very powerful, in this way managed to
drag the man out Of the furnace.
He was painfully burned about the face

NO FRICTION WITH ENGLAND
German. Embassy In London Makes a
Statement.

Statement.
London, Jan. 27.-The following state
ment was authorized by the German en-
bassy here:
There is not the slightest truth in the
reports Of friction or misunderstanding
between England and Germany in regard
TO Venezuela Both governments con-
tiflue to act in perfect harmony and will
simultaneously withdraw the blockade at
the earliest possible moment. It is to be
regretted that the house Of commons is
not in session, as a. question in the house
would doubtless reveal the perfect I'M
derstanding which exists between the two
countries. There has been no disappro-
val of any kind expressed by the British
government regarding Germany's con-
duct of affairs in connection with Vene-
zuela. No date has yet been settled upon
for raising the blockade, but it will cease
just as soon as the representatives Of
the powers reach a final agreement with
Mr. Bowen. The feeling expressed in the
press here and reflected in the cable de-
spatches from New York that England
finds the German alliance embarrassing
is In no way confirmed by the govern
ments attitude"
