CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-United States Senator

nan-Meets New York Citizens VINO
Did Not Care 70 Get Into the Papers
as Pilgrims to Esopus Gone Back.

Judge Parker returned to Esopus yester-
day morning with the consciousness OF
having done his best to straighten out the
various tangles among the managers OF the
national campaign. The time OF his return
is speculative. He probably will come to
New York about once a week between this
time and election, and the Hoffman House
is likely to be his abode. He finds 1t more
convenient than the Hotel Aston and nearer
to the friends who are running the New
York State headquarters.
There was the usual amount OF gossip
yesterday about the possibility Of a speak
ing tour by Judge Parker. The fact that
he has not consented to speak at q meet
ing in Madison Square Garden indicates
the candidates own ideas. He does not
want to speak, and all the pressure brought
to bear by the Western leaders is likely to
be in vain. He considers that he is getting
along nicely and that a talking tour would
be undignified.
which he used with success as chairman
OF the state committee when Hill was first
elected Governor. His motto then was
Don't talk and nobody will sass you and
Hill, who has always had the same ideas,
approved of Parker's. Both have embraced
the archaic thought that the Republicans
couldn't learn their plans II they kept silence.
Parkers visits to New York have been for
the purpose Of meeting men who did not
care to 60 to Esopus because their presence
there would be known.
OF course. the Judge isn't ashamed OF
his visitors said one OF Mr.. Parker's
friends yesterday, nor are they ashamed
of him, but they don't want to be made
prominent in connection with his CAM
paign. They can come to see him in Now
York unobserved."
This subterranean plan is to be followed
right through the campaign. Judge Parker
will direct the fight through Senator Cor
man and William +. Sheehan, with their
advice and that OF Col. Daniel s. Lamont
and August Belmont Their chief design
is to carry this State, and they are encour-
aged by the sentiment against the grocery
ticket OF the Odell machine. Their conf
dence of carrying New York is to be her
aided in other doubtful States.
Judge Parker's letter Of acceptance
will be published tomorrow, 1t is under
stood, and the Democrats here are hoping
that it will be better campaign document
than his speech OF acceptance. 1t will
not be as long as President Roosevelts
letter.
August Belmont and Elliot Danforth
were the candidates only Important callers
yesterday
EsoPUs, N. Y, Sept. 2.-There we're no
callers awaiting Judge Parker when he
reached here at 2:15 P. NJ. and after dictat-
ing few letters he started OF on q long
horseback ride. He said this form Of
recreation was the one thing he needed after
three busy days comforting with political
managers in New York. Sunday at Rose
mount promises to be quiet.

FISkE WILLS 1T TO CORNELL.
Larger Part OF His Estate to Go to tho

died a good many years ago left 81 O00. 900

the requests because Prof. Fiske fought the
will in the courts and won- That the uni
versity will now get most Of what ia left
Of Mrs. Fiske's original bequest was dis
closed when the professors will was read.
While the contents CT the document have
not been made public, it is known that the
entire estate will not amount to $1,000, 900
and may be nearer $4,000 Some Of the
property left by Prof. Fiske is in Italy, and
Of it the executors know scarcely anything.
1t u understood that the will provides for
several small requests and leaves the
residue of the estate to Cornell, to be applied
in increasing the equipment Of the university
library and to endow it.
Prof Fiske when he was connected with
Cornell, always manifested the greatest
interest in the growth of the library, being
at one time the university librarian and
having given several hundred Thousand
dollars toward it's support, besides valuable
collections. 1t is thought that Cornell's
bequest will amount to about $500 900.
1t Is understood that the will also leav es

libraries, the Petrarch and the Icelandic,

Cornell also was present yesterday at the
