ENDORSES MCCLELLAN EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND WRITES NEW YORK MAYOR. Sage of Princeton OutspOi<en in De-, nunciati0n of DemaGogic Appeals
 Being Made by Candidates
 in New York.

New York. Oct. 26.-Ex- President Grover Cleveland has written a letter to Mayor George B. Mcclellan. in which he endorses the latter's candi- York City. The letter reached Mir. Mcclellan today and reads as follows:
 Princeton. N. J.. Oct. %, 1905
 My Dear Mayor Mcclellan: Not beinS a resident of New York City, l am not sure that I ought to concern myself with its municipal policies. I find 1t impossible, however. to outgrow my interest In all that affects the well fare and fair name of the city of my former residence. or to forget the kind- ness and consideration of my former neighbors.
 If this were not my condition of mind. hardly think my personal friendship for you or my attachment to the party you represent or even my absolute confidence In your fidelity in public place could move me to make expression touching the pending muni- cipal canvass.
 T confess to a feeling of astonish- ment when I see the evidences of rank hysteria pervading a canvass which should especially be characterized by sober thoughtfulness. Questions of the most far-reaching importance seem to be pressed upon the citys voters,
 
 their serious reflection and thorough tn- formation, as subjects furnishing op- portunity for appeals to passion and transformation cunningly intended to aid personal ambitions and unworthy purposes
 There are conditions just now pre- vailing which naturally suggest this as a favorable time for demagogic manipulation of the people; and mo- where are these conditions so inviting to those who are willing to be dema- gogues as in the city of New York.
 Every man who thinks must know that the opportunity thus offered to present any aroused popular prejudices resentments and passions, has not been overlooked, and that the constant stim- ulation of these things contributes the chief stock in trade of some of those who are now bidding for the peoples support. Every thinking man must also appreciate the fact that there are principles and theories underlying the pending municipal canvass which vi- tally concern the city's future life.
 Tn these circumstances, how plain ly 1t is the duty of every voter who has the welfare of your great munich paiity at heart to avert the danger threatened by rash action or by the neglect Of a good citizens duty to strive against the tide of demagogic misrepresentation.
 Tt is because I believe you are look ing in this direction Of dutifuI citi- zenship and represent the steadiness and honest conservatism that the city needs that I earnestly hope for your election. Yours very sincerely,
 Grover Cleveland ITO Hon. George B. Mcclellan, New
 York"

 The ministerial crisis augments. ows ing to the peculiar attitude of ths friends of the Minister of Marine, He- nor viilanueva, who objects to Presi- dent Loubet bestowing the grand or- der of the Legion of Honor on him af- ter he has conferred the grand collar, a higher decoration. on the Minister of War, General Weyler.
 The action of Senor yillsneuva CTS. ated a serious incident and is threats ening a disruption of the cabinet. Thd Marine Minister has written to Pre- mier Montero Rios formally refusing the proffered insignia on the ground that his colleague. General Weyler. has received a decoration of higher class. ViIlaneuva maintains that as supreme head of the navy he should not receivs a lower decoration than the head Of the army The official explanation ls that General weyler received the coi- lar because he had previously received the rank of grand officer.
 vfllanueva, in confirming his refusal says that he did not act in his per- sonal capacity. but solely as the head of the navy. However. French circles hold that viIlanueva's action Is the re. suit of his unsympathetic sentimentf toward France and 1t Is said that ths incident will result in his retirement from the cabinet.
 In government circles 1t is said that senor Montero Rios will not surrender the premiership until after the conciu- sion of the Moroccan conference.

 This motion was referred to the con- vention,
 D. M. Parry. the leader of the deIs- gates then made his speech. He said in part:
 ment rate-making proposition reflects the real sentiment of the great major ity of the shippers of this country. for to my mind to believe such a thing is to assert that the shippers have com bined their forces for the purpose of tyrannizlng over the railroads and de- priving railroad capital from reaping the profits to which, under the free in- stitutions of this country. 1t Is en- titled. Rather do I prefer to believe that this crusade to endow a political commission with a sociaiistic and czar- like power to fix transportation prices is what is popularity and very aptly termed a hot air movement fathered In main by professional political agita- tors and men who have private reasons I believe that as the shippers come to consider this question they are more and more inclined to take the view that government rate-making is art ini- practicable and dangerous scheme and that at least 1t must be given very earnest consideration before extend ing 1t their support
 "I am here to reflect the opinion of those shippers to believe in conserva- tive and carefully considered action on every public question and who also be- Iieve that every industry, including even the railroad industry. is entitled to fair treatment and the enjoyment of these rights of property which are ac- corded to other industries"
 The meeting then adjourned until to- uaoxEaw.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT BLACKMAIL

MANNlNCToN, w. Va, June 10.
Farmer Henry Mason, living at
Joetown, about eight miles from
Warrington, last night received
note informing him that unless he
left a sum of money at a designated
place his house would be blown up
with dynamite and he and his fam
lily would be killed.
Instead of being frightened by the
note Mr.. Mason apprised the Mar
ion county authorities, and today
they sent TO Moundsville for the
State penitentiary bloodhonnds to
assist in the job of tracking the
blackmailers.
1t was expected they would be
around the scene particularly the
spot they named for the depositing
OF the money, and a yigilant watch
was kept for them.
Threats of lyncking are freely
heard, for this is the third black
mailing attempt in this vicinity
within few years the Blackstone
case being the most noted.
June 1.-THE bloodhounds ar
rived last night and ran down
man by the name of Charles w.
Jones, a man about thirty years
old who lives about a mile from
Mr.. Mason's home. The authori-
ties arranged trap and sent a man
with a package along the road
where the letter had demanded, but
failing to get the command to drop
the package as the note said he
would, he returned to where the
officers were waiting and then part
of the men went TO the home of
Jones, whom they suspicioned as ne
had been showing specimens Of the
work of his new typewriter that day
that corresponded exactly with the
letter received by Mr.. Mason, cal
led him out of the house and began
talking with him. Then the men
with the dogs gave them the scent
of the letter and they Immediately
made for the house of tones and
picked him out without hesitation.
Jones was arrested, searched and a
letter found In his pocket the exact
duplicate of tho one received by
Mr. Mason except that the amount
was $500 instead of $500. Jones
was brought to Warrington and
put in Jail and this morning, having
waived hearing, he was held in
5000 bond by Squire Christy for
the October Grand Jury.
