TROUBLES OF VANC0TT
BROUGHT ON HIS DEATH.
Postmaster of New York City Has
Passed Away.

New York, Oct. 25.-Cornelius Van
died suddenly this afternoon OF heart
failure following a sharp attack of
acute nervous indigestion. He was
taken III yesterday afternoon at his
office in the federal building, and his
condition was such that the attending
physician deemed his removal unwise
at that time. To-day Mr.. VanCott ap-
peared better and was taken to his
home in West Eighty-sixth street
Shortly after the patient had sinking
spell and died at 3:25 o'clock.
Mr.. VanCott had been a vigorous
man, but Of late he had been subject
to an unusual amount Of trouble, and
this is believed to have undermined his
health. He assisted in the establish
ment of a commercial agency and sign
ed notes TO a large amount. The con-
Germ failed and Mr.. Vancott was call
ed upon to pay over $4,000, which took
practically the savings of his lifetime
About this time an investigation Of
the New York postoffice was UNDER
taken by the Washington oficials, but
the integrity or probity OF the postmas-
ter was not impugned. Notwithstand-
ing the favorable outcome, he worried
much over the affair.
The recent arrest of his son, Rich
ard Vancott, charged with colonizing
voters. was a severe blow 20 the post
master, who expressed his Arm be-
lief in his sons innocense. These trou-
bles coupled with advancing age-he
was In his sixty-seventh year-played
an important part in bringing OH the
fatal Illness.
He had long been prominent in New
York politics.

NAVAL OFFICERS AT
BANQUET IN LONDON.
Speeches Made by EnEIishmen and
Americans.


London, Oct. 25.-"I thank God the
day has come when neither the Brit
ish nor the American navy can be jeai-
Gus of each others development.
Rear Admiral Jewell in the foregoing
sentence tonight elected loud cheers
of the American European squadron,
at the banquet given by the Pilgrim
Society. Lord Selborne. first lord of
the admiralty, presided.
Lord Selborne in proposing the
American navy and naval guests, said
he must refer to the 'inexcusable out
rage" in the North sea. In a similar
case, said Lord Selborne, the American
or British navy would make immediate
and ample apology. They would pun
ish," added Lord Seborne, amidst loud
cheers, the perpetrator of such ter
ribie blunder and demand security
against its recurrence. no more
doubt that / am standing here than
that the Emperor and Russian people
VIII feel their responsibility and take
some action as would the British or
peoples.
Lord Selborne proceeded to pay a
glowing tribute TO the American navy,
and emphasized instances of co-opera-
tlon between the British, French and
American navies.
Rear Admiral Lambton declared that
he could never believe any naval off,
Ger, Russian or otherwise. would do a
dastardly act Intentionally. Naval Of
ficers sometimes make mistakes, but,
said Admiral Lambton. give them
time to apologize and everything will
be all right"
Admiral Lambton's statement COM
bined with Lord Selbornes expressions
are taken as practically closing the
North sea affair. Admiral Lambton
saw King Edward to-day and I'M
doubtedly he voiced the highest views.
Rear Admiral Jewell did not refer to
the Anglo Russian difficulty, but in
the briefest of speeches won loud ap-
plause by reference to the lack of all
jealously between the American and
British navies.
Among the many kilograms read at
the banquet was one from the Arch
bishop of Canterbury, referring in
glowing terms to his visit to America
and expressing regret that he was un-
able to be present at the Pilgrims
banquet

KNOX ANSWERS PARKER.
what the Former Attorney General
Says for His side.

says Tor HIS side.
Washington, Oct. Ex-senator P. C.
Knox, who was until recently Attor-
ney General under President Roose-
velt tonight issued a statement in
answer TO Mr.. Parker's speech on
trusts and ex-President Cleveland's
accuses both Messrs. Cleveland and
Parker of having changed front on the
trust question, and asks:
"Is there any connection between
Judge Parker's abandonment OF his
futile common law panacea, which
meant immunity TO the trusts, and the
fact, as he alleges, that the trusts
contribute to the success OF the Re-
publican party? Do the principles OF
law which Mr.. Cleveland thought last
March protected manufacturing mo-
nopolies change In October. and II so.
does the change affect the Belmont
trusts or only those which are sus-
peoted of seeing in the perpetuation of
Republican administration the con-
tinued general prosperity of the coun-
try?"
Mr.. Knox refers to Judge Parker's
charges of corruption in politics and
says: when Judge Parker last ac-
lively participated in politics Off the
bench, he was chairman OF the New
York State Democratic Committee,
which elected David B. Hill as Cow
ernor. He was a cog In the Hill ma
chine. There never have been In our
political history methods more debas-
ing and corrupt than those OF the
Hill machine in New York, and they
eliminated In the steal of the state by
the Maynard frauds, and the over
throw of the Hill machine In conse-
ouence. This was the machine which
Mr.. Parker ran until, as a reward
for running It, ne was made a judge
by Hill; and these are the methods he
deplores."
Mr.. Knox asserts that Tammany
Hall Is supported by corporate favorit-
ism and that, Judge Parker IS now
seeking to become the beneficiary of
the very methods which he affects to
denounce."
Mr.. Knox charges that the men who
are conducting Judge Parker's cam
paiRn represent the corporations and
mentions August Belmont, W. #.
Sheehan, Thomas +. Ryan, David b.
Hin and Thomas Taggart as men who
"owe their whole power in politics TO
the intimate connection they have es-
tablished between the management of
corporations and the management Of
public business.
Mr.. Knox asserts that Judge Parker
and Mr.. Hin have been bidding for
the support OF the corporations, with
reckless disregard Of the interests OF
the public"
Mr.. Knox says; Judge Parker's
statement that the President and the
trusts combined In an effort to satisfy
the country that the trusts were OPP
posed TO the present administration. Is
simply preposterous, and smacks Of
the rashness of desperation"

PARKER GUEST OF HONOR.
Candidate Entertained at the Uni
versity Club.

New York, Oct. 25.-Judge Parker
was the guest of honor tonight at a
dinner given by Edward S. Rappallo,
at the University Club. The guests
were all New York city lawyers. The
dinner was entirely informal and poll
itics was eschewed, although a
number of the guests were conspicu-
GUS in the management of the cam
raign for Judge Parker.
The candidate spent the day in his
apartments receiving his political
lieutenants and others. The visitors
were fewer than on former occasions
when he has been in the city. Among
the callers were George Foster Pea
body, August Belmont, and former
Senator J. X. Jones, and j. G. john
ston of Kansas.
Alfred Hutlinger Of Brooklyn con-
ferred with Judge Parker concerning
the organization OF a club Of Spanish
speaking citizens, the Executive Com
mittee of which made arrangements
to call on the candidate tomorrow.

period they were $94.1S3,97O.

charges and dividends of only $1,312,-
$685. a decrease of $1.464,656, compared
with the previous quarter, and of $10,-
99S, 7O7 compared with the correspond

crease of TO1.306 tons over the same
period last year AS an offset to this,
however, Chairman Gary stated that
the corporation had booked an average
of $4,000 tons of new orders per day
during the current month, an increase
of 30ss per cent. over the business of

NOTE WAS STIFF THAT
ENGLAND SENT RUSSIA.
Did Not Mtnce Words in, Describing
the Outrage.

AhG O0tEAe4Cs
St. Petersburg, Oct. %, 7:02 p. m.-
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, upon his
return from visiting Emperor Nicholas
at Tsarsko Selo this afternoon, drove
direct to the British embassy, where
he conveyed to Ambassador Hardinge,
on behalf of the Emperor, a message
for communication to King Edward
and the British government, express
ing the Emperors profound regret at
the news of the North sea incident,
and stating that the Emperor had not
yet received report from his officers
on the subject, but asking the British
ambassador nevertheless to convey the
assurance that fullest reparation would
be made to the families of the suffer-
ers.
Later the ambassador went to the
Foreign Office and formally presented
a copy of his instructions. The note
was couched in a moderate, but firm,
tone. The note stigmatizes the act as
inhuman, unjustifable and deliberate,
but makes no direct demands, reserv-
ing them pending the receipt of Rus
sia's explanation. Neither does it
place time limit upon the response.
The note recites the circumstances of
the affair, saying that a fleet Of steam
trawlers carrying the established lights
was approached by the Russian
squadron, which threw searchlights
upon the vessels and then deliberately
altered its formation. One vessel was
sunk, two fishermen we're killed, many
were wounded and several vessels
were missing after bombardment of
the fishing vessels which lasted for a
considerable time. The squadron then
sailed off, leaving vessel Of small
tonnage, which remained on the spot
for six hours.
The note points out that the indig-
nation of the British people. highten-
ed by the inhuman conduct of the
commanders of the warships in aban-
doning the sinking and crippled traw-
lers, was further emphasized by the
failure of the smaller warship to offer
or render any assistance, although 1t
was impossible for it during all that
time to have mistaken the true char
acter of the fishing vessels.
The note concludes with the state
unent that the British government is
awaiting Russia's explanation of this
uniustifiable act, pending the receipt Of
which it reserves its demands.

The greater part of the crowd is

EPISC0PALIANS WILL
MEET IN RICHMOND.
Pastoral Letter Was Read by Rish-
Op Henry c. Potter.

LGNteE NAN NeH0 bY HfAh-
Op Henry c. Potter.
Boston, Oct. 25.-The triennial gen.
eral convention of the Episcopal
Church, which has been in session here
since Oct. 4. was ended late to-day
with a public service in Trinity Church.
From the pulpit Bishop Henry c.
Potter of New York read a pastoral
letter addressed TO the church at large.
The communication, which consisted of
more than 5000 words, considered the
problems now before the country. Re-
garding divorce, the pastoral said that
the facility with which the marriage
relation may be taken on and put off
is one of the menaces of American civ
ilization, to the possible perils of which
Christian people are as yet very inn
perfectly aroused. The letter made a
plea for the permanence and security
OF the family, and discussed other
pressing questions.
Little business of Importance was
transacted at the final business ses-
sions. A resolution permitting foreign
congregations now in communion with
the church, to use forms of service in
their own tongue, was adopted after
a sharp contest. This legislation was
enacted Specincally for the benefit of
Swedish congregations in Minnesota.
The next convention will be held in
Richmond. Va. in 1907
The letter takes up with the terms
those two great problems which
supremely confront the republic" the
labor question and the race issue The
hrst the pastoral declares that what
ever organizations have accomplished
they have mainly moved along lines
which are the glory of our democratic
institutions"
Touching the race problem the let
Ter, after referring to the appoint
ment of Joint commission to investi-
gate the question, says
If by giving them (the negroes)
freedom, we have only given them the
power to work mischief; and if lynch
ing has come to be defended as a
necessary protection to families, then
surely we are face to face with a
situation at once desperate and dis
honoring We may not ignore it, we
cannot disown 1t. 1t Is a part of our
social situation, and If the Church can
have nothing to say about it then she
simply disowns her duty and her
master"

TRIED TO LYNCH HIM.
Negro Under Arrest for killing n
Conductor.

Little Rock. Ark. Oct. 25.-P. A. At
wood, a passenger conductor employed
by the st. Louis. Iron Mountain and
Southern Railway. was shot and killed
to-day near Farrell station, fifteen
miles east of Little Rock, by Houston
Hooker. a negro porter. The tragedy
occurred on the Pine Bluff-Little Rock
accommodation train.
Hooker's alleged grievance against
Conductor Atwood was that the latter
slapped him in the face, after repri-
manding him on the ground that he
had been inattentive TO passengers.
Hooker was brought here for safe
keeping. A small party tried to take
the negro from the officers, after they
left the train, but the attempt was
frustrated.
Tonight the whereabouts of Hooker
is known only TO the authorities. An
effort 70 lynch the negro will likely be
made II he can be reached by a mob.
