RETICENT AS TO ACTION

New York, Jan. N.--Ospecial. .)--A siEnt- fcant and important political confsrenca was held early today in the apartments ox Richard olney at the Waldorf Astoria.
 According to Edward M. Shepard. re cent Democratic candidate for Mayor the conference will have much bearing on the candidacy of Grover Cleveland for the Presidency.
 Mfr. Cleveland came to town yesterday to make speech in euIogy of hts late friend Abram Hewitt and registered zt the waldorf. At 10 o'clock at night MT. Olney arrived In town and secured q suite at the same hotel. William C. whitney arrived shortly afterward. Aff. stc---sd accompanied Mr. Cleveland 70 the hotel from the City Club shortly b. fore midnight. They went a little after midnight to Mir. olney's apartments.
 The conference lasted nearly three hours. Mir. Whitney and Mr- shepard left the hotel and went to their homes. MT. Cleveland and Mir. olney retired, but were up early and breakfasted together this morning. Later they took trains to their respective homes.
 Mir. Cleveland begged to be excuaed from saying anything about the confer- ence
 T would desire." he said. .'that tha. midnight gathering in Mir. 0lney's room be regarded as without other motive than the exchange of greetings with my old associates."
 Mir. whitney and Ar. olney refused to discuss the meeting.
 Mir Shepard. the recognized Democratic strong man" of New York. said the conference was of importance and hinted 1t was about time for the party to get together. Many candidates for 1904 are being mentioned and It Is near time for very serious consideration of the matter He refused to say whether Mir. Cleveland or Mir. Oiney had been urged to run at the conference, but from his extremely guarded talk It can be inferred that MT Cleveland will be asked again to be the standard bearer.

END OF AN OLD CASE
BEEBE-HENSHAw PROPERTY
 GOES TO OIL COMPANY
Case of Kidd Against the State of Alabama Submitted to the United States Supreme Court With
 out Argument.

Washington, Jan. N.-(Special)- )-Con- gressman Wileys bill to divest out of the United States all title to certain lands in and near, Montgomery acquired by the Southern Cotton oil Company and others in acceptance of a proposition to compro- mise and settle pending litigation for $p5.00O has passed both houses of Con- gress and only awaits the Presidents sig- nature to become a law.
 Thus ends fourteen years of litigation In 1877 George Turner, then Republican United States Marshal at Montgomery, uow a Democratic fusionist United States Senator for Washington State, sold the interest of Eugene Beebe in certain Montgomery property owned jointly by him and one Henshaw. Beebe was surety on the bonds of defaulting Postmasters Dustin of Demopolis and Davis of Un- ion Springs. The sale of Beebe's prop erty was on a judgment of court obtained against him as surety.
 The bill that Is now passed was in part to quiet litigation as to the Hem shaw interest also, both Henshaw and Beebe having been sureties on the bond of one Francis Widmer, a defaulting rev. enue collector who died in Montgomery in 1873. Hon. Alex Troy of Montgomery, counsel of the Southern Cotton oil Com pany and the other interested parties, has been in Washington for a week and repeatedly appeared before the House Judiciary Committee to argue the jus tice of the bill.
 As to titles to the Montgomery prop erty involved, the act directs the So- licitor General of the Treasury to issue the proper titles and to cause to be dis missed all actions now pending in the United States Court at Montgomery. MT. Troy will assist the Solicitor General.
 In the United States Supreme Court today the cause of Kidd against the State of Alabama, on appeal from the Alabama Supreme Court, was submitted without argument, Col. Frank Caffey of New York appearing for the State, William A. Gunter, sr., of Montgomery, counsel for the plaintiff. not appearing. The case grew out of the Alabama back tax law and comes from the celebrated Tulane es- tate matter from Wetumpka. certain in- terests of Kidd In that rich estate, Con- slsting in bonds and securities not of the State of Alabama, having been as- sessed by the States back tax commits sioner, which action was resisted by Kidd.
 Colonel Caffey returned to New York tonight and Mir. Troy will join him to- morrow to be his guest for a few days.

present. 1t has within 1t the possibility of evil In the future. He regards 1t as some thing entirely unusual, a procedure for which there was no warrant a move that opens the way for abuse of authority in the Legislatures to come. and says there Is no telling what may be it's outcome.
 Senator Hall of Baldwin views the sit- uation without concern, and is confident that the step taken, though a radical one and one which might be expected to awaken the opposition of men whose trend Is toward conservatism, was a wise one.
 Senator Rodgers of Sumter is of the opinion that tangible results of the action are not far away. He says that in the near future some measures will come from the House with the stamp of that body's approval, only to meet with un- expected opposition in the Senate. The obstructing and defeating of legislation may be expected. he says.
 Senator Castleberry of Talladega says the matter for the present is settled: that the one-man-power idea" has been to some extent realized.

reacuers and their clothing took ire, but they worked on though in ranger of death themselves. Some. of the injured were burned to death in spite of the men who were working with desperation to save them. The flames soon gained com plets mastery of the two last cars.
 Arrived Too Late.
 The firemen from Westfield were sum- moned by telephone but arrived too late to save many lives. Doctors were called from Elizabeth, Westfield and Plainfield and there was a score on hand. The par for cars of the Royal Blue train were converted into temporary hospitals. The dead as they were taken out were laid in a row alongside the track until means could be found to convey them to Plain- field.
 The firemen after 6 time mastered the flames. Then the wreckage was attack ed again and the work of recovering the bodies was begun. Out of the first car eight bodies were taken.
 The sight while the wreck was burning was horrifying. Men could be seen in the wreckage pinned fast amid the tim bers of the cars and struggling to be free while the flames roared around them. The rescuers were helpless to aid them as they already had been driven from the wreck by the flames. One of those who tried to take out man pinned in the wreck found that he was held down by one leg near the ankle and seeing that 1t would be useless to do anything else, is said to have finally severed the mans leg and then carried him to one of the par Tor cars. The rescued man and his rescuer were badly burned.
 When the engine ploughed Into the rear car 1t partly split the car open and at the same time lifted 1t up and on to It. self. This car was the first to take fire and most of those in it are dead Some of them are beneath the overturned en- zine.
 Those in the car ahead which was lifted over the rear car suffered the most. For some time before the flames reached them from the car below and behind them they were enveloped in smok and steam and 1t was here that the wrost scenes were witnessed. The im- prisoned ones begged for death to end their agonies and implored those who were laboring to get them free to crush their heads with axes they were using to chop away the wreckage.

The Platt Dinner.

There Is q banquet of imperial richness in progress in a hotel of fashion and luxury here tonight which is singularly suggestive of the last feast of Belshazzar.
 4 great company made up in part by many of the men in public life wno con stitute the head and front of all present offending against the political and public morality of the American people is en- tertaining Senator Flatt of New York at dinner in riotous and offensive celebra- ton of his unrighteous reelection to the Senate.
 It IS the writing in wine of the final triumph of a man whose sole title to dis tinction is commonly held to be his mas tery of the most profitable science of hosssm which even this country ever knew and his absolute rule over the bal lot thieves and the official corruption is of the first and most corrupt State in the Union. Platt in the Senate is universal ly regarded as being merely the master manipulator of the money power and the arch chief of all that stands for that which Is most vicious in our politics, and as such he is naturally a great Senate rial power, though he neve. uttered a wise word or did worthy deed in be- half of the people during all the years he has been d mum master of the Sen ate's policy of obstructing the will of the people.
 If there be no handwriting on the pal ace wall of that modern Belshazzar's s feast tonight then there Is nothing in plainly seen signs. and the cause of hon. est American manhood is dead.
 Senator Platt with q red carnatiOn sign of the latter day revolutlonist upon his breast and utter indifference to the de mands and aspiration of people beneath, cold blooded as a flesh, reaches the feast fresh from the chamber of the Senate, a minority of which today again throttled the will of all parties by successfully re- sisting the Statehood measure
 Three times today there were test votes on the Statehood bill and each developed a clear majority of twelve for the ad- mission of the Territories into the Union as States.
 This days events demonstrated that Senator Quay was merely playing a foxy game when he appeared yesterday to be weakening. He Is still to the fore and stfIi fighting with a manifest majority uf twelve behind him.
 Never before has any administration used all its powers to defeat the will of Congress.
 For 1t must be borne in mind that the Statehood bill was sent to the Senate by the unsnim0us vote of tine House that ir be enacted into law.

SENATORS INTERVIEWED.

 rison Says It's Dangerous. A number of Senators were interviewed yesterday evening on the action taken yesterday in transferring the appointing power in the Senate from the Lieutenant- Governor to the President pro tem.. and it's, probable effect on legislation in the future.
 Senator Goldsby of Mobile. President pro tenn, sad the transfer of authority was done in the open and was without taint of dishonor. It was intended as a precedent for the future. he said and he did not regard it as the least dangerous. The action had been taken with the con- sent and approval of the Lieutenant Governor. who long before the converting of the Legislatufe, had expressed the wish that this arrangement should be ef- fected. Seator Goldsby said he believed that the incident could not possibly have any effect on legislation in the future. He regarded the action as merely the expression of the opinion of the majority in the matter In question.
 Dangerous, Says Harrison. Senator Harrison of Lee said the Sem ate's action establishes a most dangerous precedent. He holds that while the ar rangement may work no harm for the

RAISE THE RED FLAG
NEGROES PROCLAIM A POLICY
 OF RAPINE.
Anarchistic Mass Meeting of Blacks Held in washington-ouay De- monstrates That He is Neither
 Dead Nor Sleeping.

Washington, Jan. N-(Special.) )-Presi- dent Roosevelt has damned the blessed ness of twenty-six years of peace between the whites and negroes of the South. The anarchistic negro mass meeting last night in washington. which was of immense preportgon, attracts attention today as being simply legitimate outcome of the ardent love of the negro as. 8 negro dis played by the President and the black and tan movement engaged in by hand full of white men in the South. most of whom, it is alleged, are native Southern CTS, some of them being, 1t Is said, sons of Southern fathers.s It surprises no one here that the murder of the white people and the burning of their homes was opens ly proclaimed at this meeting.
 The principal speaker, a Richmond ne- gro, named James H. Hayes, declared in the shadow of the Capitol:
 We don't intend to be oppressed any longer: We don't intend to be crushed. 1 am afraid we are anarchistlc; that we are anarchists, and l give the warning that If this oppression in the South con- tinues, the negro must resort to the sword and torch, and that the Southland will become a land of blood and desola- tlon."
 Surely this is pleasant reading for Southerners, especially those residing in communities of dense negro population.
 Surely 1t would suggest the imperative necessity of all white men standing to- gether once more against the reappear- ance of the black peril. Surely he who does not now align himself with the white race must be lett tC sweat with the ne- gro.
 Surely the time Is come when the white people of the South must again stand shoulder to shoulder in the common pro- tection of their race, their women and children.
