Mr.. MCLELL4N'S PLANS.
To Resign from Congress December
/ and Return to This City
MURPHY GOING AWAY FOR REST.

Charles F. Murphy, the successful general in
the political campaign just closed. and George
b. Mcclellan, the successful candidate for
Mayor. were two of the least excited men in
Tammany yesterday. While the rank and file
were jubilant. Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Mcclellan
accepted the result quietly and went about the
work of closing up the details of the election
and planning for the future
Mr.. Mcclellan arose early and ate breakfast
at the Murray Hill Hotel with his wife. He re-
ceived many letters and kilograms of congratu-
lation, and succeeded in answering many of
them Later in the day he went to his head
quarters and greeted John ]. Delany, his cam
paign manager. and then had talk with Mr..
Murphy.
"Of course 1 am deeply gratihed with the re-
suit of the election, but all along l had pro-
found faith in the good sense of the New-York
people" he said IN response to questions. / am
going to close up my affairs here and go TO
Washington either tomorrow or the next day
to attend the extra session of Congress. l shall
tender my resignation, to take effect on Decem~
Der 1. l shall return to the city and then take
up the problem of organizing the administration
of the city's affairs. Until that time shall give
DO thought to local affairs. 1 can only ask the
people to help me, and pledge to them that
will carry out to the best of my ability every
promise 1 made in the course of the campaign"
Charles f. Murphy was not inclined to say
anything. He was greeted with warm con-
gratulations wherever he appeared yesterday
but he seemed to be Indifferent to the enthusl-
asm of his followers. He will spend the next
day or two in getting matters Strengthened out
in Tammany Hall, and then he will go away
for few days rest He may go TO Lakewood
or to Mount Clemens. One thing was maze
plain yesterday by his leutenants. and that was
there will be no repetition of the Croker court
at Lakewood. Then Croker, Van Wyck and the
Tammany gang went to Lakewood ana de-
cided how the offices should be dealt out Muir
phy will have nothing of that kind. it was de-
clared He will go cway quietly and rest until
late in the month. He will probably return here
when Mr.. Mcclellan does. Then they VIII take
up the work of selecting officeholders according
to one of his friends. Leaders will be called
into consultat ion. and the heads OF departments
for the incoming administration DECIDED on All
of this work however. it is said. will be deferred
for the next three weeks although OF course
there is bound to be more or less discussion
a out appointments in that time.

MERRY DAY AT WHITE HOUSE..

How President, Cabinet Officers and
Ambassadors Observed Christmas.
Snow, which began falling at Wash
ington late Wednesday night, gave
Washington a genuine Christmas ap-
pearance Thursday morning. Public
entirely suspended. Interest CEN
and private business was practically
tered in the happenings at the white
house. Early in the morning the
president and all the members Of his
family repaired to the library, where
presents were exchanged, and the
many boxes and packages which had
come from out of town opened. There
were a large number Of callers and
many gifts in the shape Of handsome
floral pieces were received. Soon af-
ter breakfast the president, Theodore,
Jr., and, Lieutenant Ferguson, of the
Rough Riders, who is a guest, took

BLOCKADE NOT EFFECTIVE.
First Test Results In Back Down and
Red D Liner Enters Port Of
La Guayra.

4 special from Caracas, Venezuela,
says: The Red D line steamer Car
acas safely entered the harbor at La
Guayra at s o'clock Tuesday morning.
The mail, freight and passengers
were landed at 10 o'clock.
The captain of the British cruiser
Tribune notified the commander OF
the Caracas that throughout her stay
at La G-ayra she must leave the har-
Dor every night. This measure is re-
garded as vexatious, and causes great
expense to the owners of the steamer.
The decision to admit the Caracas
was not arrived at without some diff.
fculty, due, it is claimed to the lack
of unity of action on the part Of the
allies. The commander CT the Brit
ish cruiser Tribune Monday notified
Mr.. Schuck, the consul of Great Brit
ain, that the Caracas could not enter
the port of La Guayra Tuesday. The
Tribune then sailed from La Guayra,
leaving the Italian cruiser Giovanni
Bausan in charge OF TIE blockade.
The first act of the commander of
the Rausan was to notify the agents
Of the Red D line that the Caracas
would not be allowed to land her pas
sengers, mail or freight.
Mr.. Boulton, of Boulton & Co.,
agents of the line, and all the foreign
merchants entered protests against
the Italian commanders decision as
violating the terms Of the decree es
tablishing the blockade. Meanwhile
Lieutenant Commander Diehl, Of the
Marietta, after an hours conference
with the Italian commanded, sue
ceeded in convincing him that he was
wrong in his Interpretation OF the
blockade DEGREES, and finally the cap
tain of the Giovanni Bausan assured
Lieutenant Commander Diehl that the
Caracas would be allowed to enter the
port of La Guayra without hindrance.
The German warship which passed
La Guayra Sunday towing two large
schooners was the Panther. Ghe cap
tunred the vessels near Maracaibo.
The Bausan and Tribune took the
following prizes Monday: The schoon'
er Castor, loaded with salt, from Ara
va. the schooner Mary Luisa, with
cargo of cocoa on board, from Caro-
nero; the sloop Josefita Carmin de
VEGA, loaded with a general cargo
from Carenero; the sloop Cornelia,

HAWAII FOR tLACK MAN.
Fortune Thinks Islands Great Place
to Colonize His feopIe-Talks
Of Conditions There.

T. Thomas Fortune, special labor
commissioner appointed by Secretary
Shaw to visit the Philippine and Ha-
waiian islands, reached Honolulu
Wednesday. In an interview he said:
81 believe that the importation of
negroes here forms a solution Of the
difficulty which unavoidably follows
the absorption Of tropical or semi
tropical countries by the United
States. In the southern states and
Carolinas the negro made the indus
tries what they are"
The commissioner said that there
might be difficulty in OBTAINING them
there, but he thought the planters
could get all they wanted If they sent
the right sort OF agents after them.
"You could get 10000 here in six
months" he said.
In view of the news from Washing
ton that the senate gave hostile re-
ception to the plan for allowing Chi
nese to enter Hawaii as laborers, the
views of Commissioner Fortune have
attracted much attention. Hawaii IS In
need Of more labor. The Merchants
Association, backed by the builders
and traders exchange and other SINH
lar organizations, is preparing to
make a fight in support of the plan Of
fercd by the plantation men to secure
legislation from congress, allowing
the importation of Chinese laborers
for plantation work only, under GER
tain restrictions. Local labor unions
have decided against the proposition
and will oppose the plan. It IS un-
derstood that the matter will be dis
cussed in the forthcoming report OF
the committee which visited Hawaii.

ROOSEVELT DECLINES
Castro is Referred to The Hague
With His Troubles.
JOB OF ARBITER NOT WANTED
Conditions Attached to Arbitration
Proposition Of the Powers Not
Yet Made Public at Wash
inston.

A Washington special says: Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not be the arbitra-
tor of the Venezuelan controversy.
The whole vexatious subject will be
referred to The Hague tribunal for
adjudication.
Epitomized, this was the situation
as it had resolved itself at the conclu'
sion Of the cabinet meeting Friday.
The meeting was not so long as the
sessions of the cabinet usually are.
All the members except Secretary
Root were present. The Venezuelan
question was the principal and prac-
tically the only topic OF. general con-
Germ under consideration. Secretary
Hay presented the net results Of his
cable correspondence with the govern
ments at London, Berlin, Rome and
Caracas. In accordance with the sug-
gestion made several days ago by
President Roosevelt through Secretary
Hay, President Castro, CT Venezuela,
was reported to have agreed to submit
the differences between his govern
ment and the European powers to the
arbitration of the tribunal at The
Hague. The European powers not only
consented to submit the controversy to
arbitration, but, while they had ex-
pressed preference for an arbitration
to be conducted by President Rocse-
welt, they had assented to his sugges-
tion that the matter be referred to The
Hague.
The presentation of the case met the
hearty approval of the members OF
the cabinet. No fear is expressed by
the administration that the Monroe
doctrine will be brought into the con-
troversy in any manner that might re-
suit in any embarrassing situation for
the United States. Secretary Hay is
preparing a note to the powers, IN
which the qualification of this govern
ment is expressed for the course
agreed upon by them in settlement
of the pending difficulties.
No intimation is given of the condl-
tions which may have been imposed
by the European powers or by Presi-
dent Castro precedent to the arbitra-
ton. 1t is known that Great Britain
was willing to submit the subject to
arbitration of President Roosevelt
practically without conditions. but the
suggestion is made that one, and per-
haps two, of the other powers involved
propose some conditions which might
have proved embarrassing to the presi-
dent had he undertaken the RESPONSE
bility of determining the question.
1t is understood that some money
must pass, but it is also known that
the amount of cash to be required OF
Venezuela before arbitration Is not
nearly so large as has been stated. 1t
is not possible to learn, either, wheth-
er the allies insist upon apologies from
Castro, and while it is assumed that
the blockade will be speedily raised,
no arrangement to that end has yet
been made. The energies of the neso'
tiations are now being devoted to the
framing of what will be known as
condition protocol, and it is hoped
that while this class of document does
not undertake to closely define issues
to be presented. it will still contain
provision for the removal Of ths block
ade.

That Greenwood Lnching.

Thac greenwood CnCnin9.
W. K. Jay, prominent young farm
er Of the Troy section Of Greenwood
county, was foully murdered in his
own yard by a negro, Oliver Wideman
or his wife, both of them living on the
place. Both Of the negroes were
lynched by Jays infuriated neighbors
Mr.. Jay, on returning home heard
Wideman abusing or fighting his
(Wideman's) wife. He went to the
cabin and ordered the negroes to be
quiet.
Immediately afterwards Mrs. Jay
heard the report of a gun and saw the
two negroes running away. Calling
for her hlsband, she had no answer
and on looking over the yard found
him dead in a pool of his own blood
Almost his entire head had been blown
off.
The alarm was given and parties
were soon securing the country in pur-
suit of the negroes. They were cap
tured. Before the coroner's inquest
both acknowledged the deed, but the
man said the woman did it, and the
woman accused the man.
While in the custody of a constable
on the way to jail they were stopped
at the Winterseat bridge by crowd
Of infurited friends and neighbors of
Jay, and both negroes were lynched.
The lynching took place about mid
night, seven hours after the inquest.
The coroner's inquest over the bod
les held Monday, found verdict that
they came. to their death at the hands
of unknown persons.
None of the lynchers were masked.
The governor promises to take action.
The sworn testimony of Emma Wide
man given just before she was shot to
death, is in the coroner's findings. She
said:
~'T did not shoot Mr.. Jay. Oliver, my
husband, shot him. Mr.. Jay was in
the yard. Oliver was on the top step
with a gun in his hand. After the
shooting I met Oliver at the branch
He still carried the gun, and took it to
his mothers house, where he left it..
Oliver told his mother that he had
shot Mr.. Jay"
Except the accusation of her hus-
band, there is nothing to show that the
woman participated in the killing.
