SPLIT IN SCANNELL'S REALM.
Some Of the Tsmmany Workers Don't Like
the Bouncing Of John Creamer.


The summary deposition Of John D.
Creamer as president OF the Seneca Club,
the regular Tammany Hall organization
OF the Twenty fifth Assembly district,
which was brought about by Geo rye F.
Scannell, the leader OF the district, at the
meeting Of the club on Thursday night
will probably lead to a strong factional
fight In the district.
Mr.. Dreamer has many friends In the
Seneca Club and he has a large following
in the district In the talk heard last night
among the Tammany W orkers Of theTw enty-
fifth there were many assertions that the
accusation made by Mr.. Scannell, that Mr..
Creamer had been criticising Charles F.
Murphy's interference In Brooklyn politics,
was only an excuse to get Mr.. Creamer out
OF the club. 1t was said by Mr.. Creamers
friends that Leader Scannell's action was
prompted by an idea he is known to have
had for some time that Mr.. Dreamer had his
eye on getting the leadership Of the district
for himself.
Mr.. Creamer's friends insist that he has
never sought to undermine Mr. Scannell's
control Of the district and they said last
night that an appeal will be made to Mr..
Murphy to bring about Mr.. Creamer's re-
storation TO the presidency Of the Seneca
Club.

Southampton, March 2l-The Amer
lean Line steamship New York met
with two mishaps yesterday, grounding
off Cape La Hague, France, in the
early morning and later coming into
collision in the English channel with
the Peninsular g. Oriental steamship
Assaye, under contract to the British
government and used as troopship,
bound for Bombay with 500 troops on
board.
The New York grounded while ap-
oaching Cherbourg at $3.50 in the
morning during fog The sea was
smooth. however, and the tide was on
the flood, end within an hour and a
half the vessel was floated without as
sistance. Her bottom was damaged
and thrre was water in the holds, but
she was able to proceed.
During the voyage up the channel a
dense fog descended. When off Hurst
castle, England, the Assaye suddenly
appeared, and it was found impossible
to avoid collision. The New York 9
bow crashed into the Assaye's star
board bow, tearing a great gap in that
vessel. The New York; bowsprit and
figurehead were carried away and the
latter was smashed into fragments.
There was great excitement on botn
vessels.
The boats of the Assaye were lower
ed and the troops were mustered, but
the bulkhead of the troopship saved
her. The vessel was able to enter
Southampton and the New York. was
locked at $3.50 o'clowck for temporary
repairs. 1t will be imosspible to esti-
mate the damage to the New York I'M

is believed that both vessels have been
somewhat seriously injured.

Canal Commission Will Locate Of

Washington, March 24.-Two i'm
portant points have been developed in
connection with the work of the 18TH
milan canal commission. One is that
the headquarters of the commission
probably will be on the isthmus of
Panama, instead of mt Washington, al
though an Office will probably be main
tanned here. The other point is that
a part of the time of at least five OF the
commissioners will be devoted to their
private interests.
Admiral Walker, the chairman of
the commission, and General Davis, the
army member of the body, will devote
their entire time to the work.
Legislation now pending before con-
gress provides for the appointment of
a GOVERNOR of the canal zone. If il
should be enacted into law it is quite
probable that the president may desig-
nate General Davis as the governor of

WANTS THE TRAFFIC.
Order in Council From Ottawa
Shuts American Vessels Out
Of Large Yukon Trade.

Seattle, March 23.-Canada seeking
to monopolize the trade of the KlOn-
dixie and other British Yukon districts,
will henceforward prevent American
vessels from transporting freight of
Canadian origin from Vancouver and
other British Columbia ports to those
sections by way of St. Michael and
the lower Yukon. An order in council
to this effect has issued from Ottawa.
Formal notification of the passage of
the order and the substance of it's con-
tents as received yesterday by Collector
of Port Boell, of Vancouver, and infOr-
nation of its receipt came to the man.
ayers of the various transportation
companies plying between this port
and Alaska late in the day.
The news from Vancouver carries an
intimation that Canada proposes going
still further in the same direction,
namely, to prevent the transportation
of freight of Canadian origin consigned
to the Canadian Yukon in any Ameri-
can vessel from the ports of British
Columbia to Lynn Canal The passage
of such an order respecting Vancouver
and Lynn canal, local managers say,
would prove serious blow to the ship
ping of this poIt-at least the South
eastern Alaska lines. At the present
time the bulk of the KloDdike freight
handled by the Seattle lines is picked
up at Victoria and Vancouver, espe-
cially the latter.
American lines are now favored. 1t
is pointed out by the Canadians that
the Seattle vessels are faster, safer and
larger carriers, and consequently they
handle majority of the British Yukon
business originating at Vancouver and
Victoria. At the present time there is
but one vessel, the Canadian Pacific's
Princess May, plying between Vancou-
yer and Lynn canal.
Seattle shipping men say the infiu-
ence of the White Pass q Yukoon with
the Canadian government brought
about the passage of the order prohib-
iting the transportation of Dominion
goods in American vessels for shipment
to the Klondike by way of st. Michael.
The order will work to the great ad-
vantage of that corporation, for its en-
forcement means that every pound OF
freight consigned to the Canadian Yu-
kon districts must go over the White
Pass road.

FOUGHT OFF PORT ARTHUR.
Another Naval Battle Between On
posing Fleets.

PosihS rIeetS.
London, March 23.-Advices from
ofnclai sources say that the Japanese
made another attack on Port Arthur
Monday night
The attack was begun by the torpe-
do boat flotilla and was followed by a
bonn bardment by the battleships and
cruisers. The extent of the damage
done TO the fortress is not stated.
The report of the attack is confirmed
from official sources in Tokyo, which
state that two of the heavy siege guns
OF the Russians were silenced by the
concentrated fire of the feet and that
100 Russians were killed and wounded
by the explosion of a she'll
Tokyo advices further state that as
a result of the attack the entrance to
the harbor of Port Arthur has been
completely blocked.
1t is believed here that Admiral To-
go will maintain his position in the
roadstead outside of the harbor until
the ice goes ont, when a landing of
troops will be effected and an attack
made on the Port Arthur Notifications
fIom the rear. 1t is practically Ger.
tain that the fortress cannot be reduced
by naval attack.

There is still mile of the jetty to be
