and firm, with sufficient residence to aid
the runners in their speed tests

CAUSES SOME WONDER
Hxrznoaxnnous SUPPORT or
THE xcCLKI.LAN BOOM.
Looked ON m 4 Wall Street Movement,
Yet Hearst and Bryan Are Not
Regarded az Hostile to Il.

Democratic politicians here are very
much interested in the Developments in
connection with the Mcclellan presidential
boom. They are considerably pushed over
the alignment of interests. The fact sticks
out all over the Mcclellan boom that Wall
street and the capitalistic interests Of the
east are its principal sponsors.
Yet, 1t is claimed for the movement that
Mr.. Hearst ard Mr.. Bryan would be IA
vorable to 1t. There appear to be few
inaccuracies in the statements somewhere
along the line or some very glaring incon-
gruities in conditions.
Some democrats say 1t would be like
straining at gnat and swallowing q
camel for Bryan to balk at Judge Parker
on account of his affiliations with David b.
Hill and then hitch up with Mcclellan and
the interests which the hackers OF the Nc
Clelian movement represent. The combina-
ton is at present Chinese puzzle to the
politicians.
The only solution is that Mr.. Mcclellan
is filling the lcng-felt want of the democ-
racy-furnishing q candidate upon whom
all factions could unite. This has been
prayed for by democrats far and wide. but
scarcely expected Tammany. Bryan,
Hearst, German, Guffey and the Bourbons
didate in the middle acceptable to all Is a
dream of the millennium to most demo-
Gratis
Another patent feature Of the Mcclellan
boom Is that it Is a more dictinctiy anti
Roosevelt proposition than any thus lar
advanced. That is proven by the enthus-
iastic adherence to the Mcclellan candi-
dacy of interests known to be hostile to the
President, and which have been lukewarm
toward other proposed candidates of the
democracy.
But the Mcclellan boom Is going, all
right One Of the most prominent demo-
cratic leaders in the country, who was In
town today. said to a Star reporter:
Mayor Mcclellan would run like wild
fire." For reasons personal he would not
allow his name to be used. He, too. was
puzzled over the assumed Bryan. Hearst,
Tan1many, German, Bourbon combination,
and could only add:
Praises be, II the news Is true Ii
means harmony. Truly. however. politics
makes strange bedfellows."
The Hearst boom is gradually being con-
tracted by Mr. Hearst. His headquarters
in New York were closed Ave weeks ago.
and now he is cutting down his Washing
ton bureau OF publicity. He has been
maintaining a considerable stan In this
city, but has discharged a large part OF II
in the past few days.

THE HANDBOOK CASES
RESULT OF THE TRIALS AWAITED
WITH INTEREST.
Police to Arrest Persons Engaged in
Taking Bets-Quiet at
St. Asapil'a

Considerable interest is being manifested
In the cases against the alleged handbook
men. and the result of the trials of the
cases pending in Judge Kimbalfs court Is
of much consequence to the gambling fra
ternity and the police. On the one hand it
will mean that more than hundred men
VIII either resume the poo-selling business
or seek some other means of gaining live
lihood: on the other hand the police are
likely to have additional trouble. Maj.
Sylvester has made up his mind to crush
out the business If possible, and his officers
have been instructed to arrest every man
found taking bets on the horses.
Assistant United States Attorney Null
lowry, who is in New York will return
Monday. He will then take up the investi-
cation OF the handbook cases and deter
mine just how he will proceed in them.
The hearings in the cases I'm which Attor-
new Darlington is counsel are set for next
Tuesday. but they will probably not bs
heard at that time. 1t Is stated that jury
trfels will be demanded. and this action
will mean a postponement of the hearings
for an indefinite period Counsel may re-
sort to habeas corpus proceedings such
as were employed In the race-track cases
several years ago, with the purpose in
view of obtaining . decision from the
higher court upon tho legal questions in
volved.
Arrests Expected.
It 10 believed the witnesses for the prose-
cutfon will refuse to testify upon tbs ground
that such testimony would incrim,nate
them. and this question will have to be
passed upon by the court. Four arrests
have already been made and the defendants
released on collateral Other arrests are
expected.
It was said at the station of the electric
railway this afternoon that there was
nothing doing In the line Of gambling at
st. Asaph's. People who were on the way
to the pool room were told that a trip
would be useless. It is not known what ac-
ton Is to be taken by the promoters Of the
st. Asaph's pool room, because Of the re-
moval of the wires and instruments from
their place. No one connected with the
establishment could be found this after
noon who could tell what is to be done in
the future respecting the matter OF taking
odds on the races. The pool room people
in New York are talking about entering
suits against the telegraph and telephone
companies. Demands have already been
made upon the companies for the restora-
ton of the wires and instruments, and the
legal departments of the coIupa MES have
the matter under adyisemcIt.
According to a report from New YORK.
most Of the pool rooms lin that city were
open yesterday and all bets offered were
accepted. Track odds wers not paid by
many Of the proprietOrs of the rooms and
the pool room people protected themselves
by accepting no bets after post time. Hand
book men in New York, it 10 stated, are
doing q hOurishing business.
