DESPITE the fact that an army of uni
formed policemen cordoned President
Roosevelt during his stay in New York
yesterday to attend the funeral of his
uncle, and myriads of detectives and
secret service men swarmed about him,
a crank found no difficulty in walking
directly up to the President and placing
a letter in his hand. Had it been a
pistol instead of a letter and an anar-
chist instead of a harmless crank, the
Presidents assassination might have
been easily accomplished. The incl
dent occurred as the President was
leaving the church after the funeral
service, and showed plainly that the vigil
lance Of detectives cannot always be
relied upon to protect the lifeof the man
they are paid to guard.

President ROOSEVELT has, 1t seems,
political enemies in his own household.
Col. Robert B. Roosevelt, uncle of the
President, is a democrat and strongly
favors Senator German to defeat his
nephew. "The fact is" he says, "there
is only one man in the party that, in my
opinion, possesses al. the qualifications
and the necessary hold on the people
that is Mr.. German. He is the only
man can see 4" The colonel voices the
convictions .of numerous other demo-
Gratis. With no disparagement of several
good and tried members of the party
who have been named as presidential
possibilities, Mr.. German stands head
and shoulders above them all, and as
time goes on it becomes more and more
apparent that the democratic national
convention next year will with manifest
wisdom make him their stsndard-bearer.

THELEGISLATURE.
SENATE.

The session of the Senate yesterday
was devoted almost entirely to the consid-
Grafton of bills on the calendar, being
amendments TO the code and conforming
the statutes to the provisions of the new
constitution.
Mr. Stands called up the House bill
extending the time for the payment OF
taxes without the imposition of the per
centum penalty, from December to
January l, 1904. The bill applies to
this year only, and was made necessary
by the delay attendant upon the delivery
of assessment books to commissioners OF
the revenue, The delay was due to the
changes consequent by the new constitu-
ton.
Mr.. Shackelford had taken from the
calendar his bill amending section II of
the act to raise revenue, relating to the
tax on bank stocks. The bill is No. sos.
The amendment Of Mr.. Shackclford pro-
vides "that where any such bank, banking
association, trust and security company
has, since its last published statementand
before the first day of February Of any
year, paid out to its stockholders the
whole or any part of its undivided profits
the amount so paid out shall be deduc-
ton from the estimate Of aggregate value
of its stock"
The bill was passed.
The bill amending the code so as to
allow judges of county courts the same
pay as city judges when designated to
hold courts other than their own was
passed.
HOUSE.
The House followed the Senate in its
action on the Norfolk primary bill which
the governor afterwards desired to be re-
turned to him in order that he might
sign it, admitting that he had been mis-
taken as to certain provisions of the bill.
The House, by the vote of 81 to O, passed
the bill, Notwithstanding the veto.
AS amended in several points, principal
ly in relation to fraternal bene6cient or
ers and mutual insurance companies,
which are exempted from the operation
of certain sections of the measure, the
House bill creating bureau of insurance
and prescribing laws in relation TO insur-
ance and such corporations was passed,
50 to 16. The Senate passed similar
bill at the regular session, and will now
probably adopt the House bill.
A spirited debate occurred when the
bill by Mr.. Fokes, defining the princi-
pal offices of "a common carrier, came up.
The passage of thebili would possibly in
volve the remoyalof the Southern Rail
way Offices from Washington to some
Virginia city. The bilr stated in
yesterdays Gazette with all amendments
was 6ually recommitted BY vote of SO
to SO.

SITUATION IN PANAMA.

The slight opposition to the ratifica'
ton of the canal treaty between the re-
public of Panama and the United States,
which prevailed on the isthmus day oil
two ago, now appears to have been over.
come, if not altogether dissipated. Thi:
opposition existed only among a few
government officials, who now have
been won over and thoroughly convinced
by the reasonable arguments of their
conferees.
The plan outlined by which the treaty
was to be signed and dispatched to Wash
ington on the day of its arrival at Pan
anna has been abandoned because it is
feared that such rapidity of action might
give the impression that the treaty had
been hastily and inadequately consid-
cred, and thus lay the members Of the
junta open to criticism. 1t is abso-
lutely certain, however, that the treaty
will be ratified without the slightest op.
position.
In government circles at Panama it
is now said that the junta, as soon as
the treaty has been ratified, will adj
dress a note to Secretary Hay, asking
that $4,000, 900 be paid in cash to
the Panama government and that
So, 600, 900 shall be transferred in such
manner that it can be invested, the
interest being payable to the govern
ment.
IL can be said authoritatively that the
junta is still firmly opposed to undertak-
ing the responsibility for any portion of
CoIombia's foreign Indebtedness.
Gen. Ruiz Reyes, of Colombia, with a
party of government officials passed
through Atlanta yesterday en- route to
Washington, where they expect to ar
rived today.
"The Colombian people, although they
are very bitter against Panama, are doing
everything possible" said Gen. Reyes,
''to settle this matter amicably, but if
there is no other way, Colombia will force
Panama back" Gen. Reyes said the
Colombian army can be increased TO $780,
900 men in a very short time. He also
said that the Colombian government is
anxious to have the canal through Pana-
ma and if matters had been allowed to
take their proper course, there is no doubt
the details of treaty could have been
arranged TO satisfy all parties.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 2S.-The roads
committee of the House today set We'd
nesday next at 10 o'clock for the con-
sideration of the Folkes amendment to
the corporation bill, the effect Of which
would be to bring the Southern's Offices

motion of A. H. Thorn to allow the
Southern's offices to come here in oppo-
sition.
The elections committee has unani-

The Question of Available Candidates
New York, Nov. 2S.-The positive
declaration of former President Cleve-
land that he would not permit himself to
be considered as presidential candidate
in the coming election, has clarified the
political atmosphere to the extent that
today politicians are only discussing the
availability of two men--Senator Cor
man, of Maryland, and Judge Parker, OF
New York. From political leaders in
the West and South come expressions
that the withdrawal of Mr.. Cleveland
leaves the way open for the nomination
OF German, while in the East the feeling
is that Judge Parker will be the nominee.
No very decided move will, however, be
made by political leaders looking to the
nomination of either of the men until
some future time. In the interim the
candidancy of both men will be allowed
to grow so that their relative strength
NAV be determined. Politicians is this
State feel that Judge Parker is the man.
While leader Murphy, of Tammany Hall,
has made no public expression it is
known that he regards Judge Parker in
most favorable light and will do all he
can to bring about his election. Robert
T. Roosevelt, uncle of the President, be-
lieves that Senator German is the only
one who can win over President Roose-
Welt. James X. Mcclure, of Syracuse,
is for David B. Hill, ifhe consents to be-
come a candidate. Daniel j. Campau
and Don NJ. Dickinson, of Michigan, as
we'll as Edward T. Brown, chairman of
the State committee of Georgia, say that
the withdrawal of Cleveland means the
nomination of German. Hugh Farrelly,
of Kansas, is also inclinedt to the nomina-
ton of the Maryland Senator. Mr. Far

Tipman Knocked Out Lewis.

Joe Tipman of Baltimore stopped Willie
Lewis of New York in the second round of
the wind up at the Ariel Athletic Club,
Philadelphia, last night The punch that
did the work was a short .ighthand upper
cut and was as much OF a surprise to the
spectators as 1t was to Lewis. The latter
had much the worst of the weights, scaling
at least ten pounds below the Baltimorean,
who Is pretty stout lump of a lad.
Lewis took the initiative in the first
round, and got to Tipmans body with his
left. but fell short with his right for the
head. Tipman showed his superiority in the
cIinches. and before the round was over the
effect of his body punches was made mani
fest Lewis went to his corner In a rather
tired condition.
The minutes rest appeared to do him
lot of good for he again became the ag-
gressor He landed on Tipmans wind sew
eral times with effect. and sent his head
back with a swinging left. Tipman got
back with a left on the mouth, and Lewis
made a wild swing with his right. Tipman
stepped aside. and ripping up his right
caught Lewis on the point of the jaw.
Lewis dropped to the floor. He made gal
liant attempt to get up. but though the spirit
was willing the flesh was weak. and he was
counted out.

TRoRoUaHBREDs MATCHED.
Old England and Articulate Meet at
Morris Park Today.

After the running of the metropolitan
handicap on Thursday there was a warm
argument in the paddock between Green
B. Norris owner Of Old England, who ran
second to Gunfire, and R. A. Smith, trainer
of Articulate, who finished fourth. Smith
made the statement that If Artfculate had
not been pocketed and had got away from
the post more quickly the western horse
would not only have taken Mr.. Morris
gelding into camp, but would also have con-
quered Gunfre. AS result of the argu-
ment each posted 800 forfeit for match
race at 900 a side, to be run under the
same conditions as those governing the
metropolitan.
As match races are Illegal in New York
state, the Westminster Racing Association
decided yesterday to add an extra race
to today'S program, to be known as spe-
cfal renewal of the metropolitan handi-
cap for horses that ran in that race the
same weights to be carried, with subscrip-
ton of 81, 900 each, 800 forfeit to the win
ner, the association adding $1,5OO Old
England and Articulate must start or there
will be no race. The entries closed at
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. with three
nominations-Oid England. Herbert and
Articulate. Herbert will probably be
scratched, leaving the two horses in dis
pute to fight 1t out at mile. The race
will be the sixth event on the card there
being seven races in all.

MORRIS PARK RACES.
Several Jockeys Hurt by Falling
Horses Going Over Hurdles.

The racing at Morris Park yesterday
would have been decidedly dull and unn-
teresting but for the accidents in the hur-
die race and the neat coup made on In
gold by Arthur Featherstone, the wealthy
bicycle manufacturer, and his many friends.
The sport opened with hurdle race at
one mile and half over six brush fences.
1t would have been hard work to gather to-
gether a similar number of poor horses
as the eight that tried for the ST. Nicholas
stakes. All of them bungled at their leaps.
Ohnet when he appeared to have the race
in hand quarter of mile from the finish,
erred In landing over the next to the last
obstacle, and barely escaped going to his
knees. The rails kept him on his feet, but
the crash nearly fractured Sangers leg.
Big Gun. the favorite, assumed command
and looked the winner until the "take-off"
for the last hurdle. Seminole wabbled in
his stride, and both horses shoulders met
while in midair. Big Gun went down with
crash, turning a complete somersault.
Fortunately Mara, his rider, was thrown
clear. and escaped with few bruises.
Previous to this mishap Cigar fell where
Ohnet bungled. Brady, his rider was I'M
able to rise and the ambulance took him to
the jockey room. Brady's back was badly
sprained, and he will not ride for week.
Meantime, while all these accidents were
along in front and he eventually finished
past the post a winner. with 40 to against
him in the betting.
Arthur Featherstone, his trainer julius
Bauer, and their friends won nearly $4,000
on 1ngold when he won the Larchmont
stakes by head from Brigand. The open
ing odds were 20 to 1, but at post time to
1 was the best price obtainable.
E. D. Morgan's FLY Confusion was the
odds-on favortte at to 10 for this event
Mr.. Morgan, who was out sailing In the
Columbia earlier in the day, left the yacht
to see his filly run. She raced with Ingold
to the head of the stretch and then quit

Was found that she was very lame and
scarcely able to walk. Her trainer, James
Boden. picked stone out of her hoof and
found the middle tendon Of the near fore
leg badly strained. Her racing days are

John E. Madden added to his long string
of thoroughbreds by purchasing the two
year-old colt Vulsus from the Gayoso sta
bic. 1t was reported that Madden paid
$4,000 for the youngster The colt recently
showed a very fast trial, and is by Top
Gallant, out of Glen Hop.

part and brilliant ride by Burns turned

Grant of this city and John Snyder of Ber-
s1in, was won by the former in two straight
falls. The first fall was obtained by Grant
in eight minutes, by a hammer lock and
