ASSASSIN LEFT LETTER.
Accused Bobrikoff, His Victim, OF
Tyranny to Firms.

A cableeram from Stockholm says:
The Aftonbladet publishes a letter to the
Emperor of Russia, purporting to have been
written by Eugen Schaumann. the assassin
of Gen. Bobrikoff, governor general of Fin
land. the original of which Scha umann said
would be found upon his body after his
deed had been committed. The letter fol-
lows:

Aldermanic Firm Gets ..Pennsy" Job.


A dispatch from New York says: In
competition with all the principal contract
ors of New York, and although not the
lowest bidder, the New York Contract
ing and Trucking Company has won the
$5,0OO.O00 contract for excavating the
site of the terminal Of the Pennsylvania
railroad, which was awarded Monday in
Philadelphia by the directors of the Penn
sylvania New York and Long Island Rail
road Company. Alderman James h. GaH-
ney, representing the eighteenth aldermanic
district, and known as the right-hand man
of Charles Murphy. leader of Tammany
Hall, confirmed the statement that the con-
tract had been awarded to that firm.
When the franchise to enter this city
by tunnels under the North and East rivers
and to construct a large terminal here was
sought by the Pennsylvania railroad. Al
derman Gaffney led the opposition IN the
board Of aldermen to the franchise, which
was held up for many weeks in the race
Of public and press demands for Its pas
sage. which demands were strongly sup
ported by Mayor Low.
In May. 1900. the New York Constructing
and Trucking Company was Incorporated at
Albany with a capital stock OF $1,000.
James E. Gaffney was named as the presi-
dent and John j. Murphy as treasurer at
that time. Its business was comparatively
small then, and it's offices. at No. 506 East
Goth street, were in the same small single
story frame building which the companys
officers still occupy.
On account of Mr.. Gaffneys official posi-
ton as alderman II was necessary that he
should not be an officer of a firm which was
aking city contracts. Mr.. Murphy then
became president of the company and e.

NEVER A DEMOCRAT
MR.. CORTELYOU IS OF GOOD RE.
PUBLICAN ANCESTRY.
He Was a Founder of Young Mems
Republican Club of Hampstead,
New York.

Advices received by President Roosevelt
and others here from the convention lead
ers indicate that doubt of Secretary Cortel-
you'S selection as national chairman has
been removed entirely. Such opposition as
existed to Mr.. Cortelyou has been dissi-
pated, and the belief in authoritative quar-
tiers here is that he will be elected unaEi-
mously by the new national committee at
its meeting subsequent to the adjournment
of the contention.
1t is pointed out that much of the oppoSi-
ton that existed in Mr. CorteIyou's selec-
ton as national chairman was based on the
statement, made in various FORMS that he
was one time a democrat and that he is at
heart a free trader. A high official of the
government, who has known Mr.. Cortelyou
for many years. last night authorized a
statement concerning his political record
which in fairness and a matter of record
Is here given:
Secretary George b. Cortelyous father
and grandfather were republicans of the
stanchest kind. His grandfather, Peter
CroliuS Cortelyou, ST.. was the intimate
friend and associate of Horace Greeley,
Thurlow Weed and other great leaders of
the partys early history. Both his broth
ers are republicans, and the members of
his family have been known as republic
cans since the foundation of the party. All
the teachings of his early years were in
that political faith and when he took up
account he became a firm believer in re-
publican doctrines. His first vote was cast
for republican candidate and from that
day to this he has voted the republican
ticket.
Mr.. Cortelyou was one of the founders
of the Young Mems Republican Club of
Hampstead, n. Y. He was an active MEM
Der of the Plumed Knights, and did hard
and effective service in the Blaine cam
paign. He was secretary of the Harrison
managers at the Minneapolis convention
Upon the advent of the democratic admin
istration in 1885 he rendered his resigna-
ton and left the federal service Again,
in 1893 upon the advent of Mr.. Cleve-
lands second administration, he rendered
his resignation and remained only at
the earnest request of his new Sd
perior. He has gone regularly each year
to his home and voted for republican can
ddates. and while he Loyalty served
democratic President, he accepted the po-
sition then rendered him only after frank
statement of his political beliefs. He has
been secretary to two republican Presidents
and has been a cabinet officer in a republic
can administration. That is his record. 1t

Signaled for Aid.
A moment after the order to beach the
boat had been given the fire alarm was
sounded and the Slocum's whistle was
screening for aid. There was no answer
to the signal of Distress and the steamer
was kept straight ahead under full speed
until she grounded on the beach off North
Brother Island about three minutes later.
Weaver said he had been on the Socum
six seasons. She was the best equipped
boat he was ever on, he said. There never
mad been any fire drills on the steamer
to his knowledge. He said in reply to a
question that he would have known If
such drills had been held. He did not see
any new life preservers put on the steam
er this season Weaver told Of buying
the -after-deck hose. as related.
Cannon and Dynamite Used.
Cannon were used yesterday to hasten
the recovery of the Slocum's dead, after
the thunderstorm of Monday night had
brought up many bodies, and many more
were recovered
Today, under the direction of Police In
spector Albertson. dynamite will be called
into play. Sticks of the explosive will be
attached to short pieces of timber to serve
as buoys, the free ends rising clear of the
water. while the dynamite will be several
Feet below the surface. The improvised
mines, according to the plan, will be placed
at intervals of about 100 yards around the
wreck, and will be touched off by time
fuses.
Rapid progress was made by the Mer-
rift & Chapman Derrick and Wrecking
Company in raising the wreck of the Slo-
cum yesterday. The hull was lifted fifteen
feet from the rocks on which 1t rested,
early in the afternoon, and the placing of
the chains necessary for bringing the hulk
to the surface was rendered comparatively
easy. Contrary to expectations, there were
comparatively few bodies released when
the wreck was lifted from the bottom.
Only two bodies, both those of women,
were found beneath the paddlebox. Both
were terribly disfgured
Commission to Investigate.
After the meeting of the Presidents
cabinet at Washington yesterday an extra

that he had ordered a reinSpecton Of

night. To the list of identified dead seven

fifty-one from the list of missing. Allow
