NEW YORK. s MAYOR.
HEARsT'S FOE.
Mcclellan Declares War to
the Knife Against. Editor
and G. F. Murphy
FRIEND OF JEROME
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9-There is to be
no compromise between the Mayor and
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall Compromise is impossi-
BILE, even in the face of the possibility
OF the nomination of Hearst at Buffalo.
So far as the Mayor is concerned, 1t IS
to be war to the knife on both Hearst
and Murphy, and this war is to be car
ried to the floor of the State conven-
ton. Mayor Mcclellan will do all In
his power to have delegates chosen at
the primaries and district conventions
favorable to William. T. Jerome, and
he believes that New York County will
vote for the District Attorney in the
convention. All this was made clear
today. The Mayor views with con-
tempt the efforts of Democrats who
are seeking an alliance with the Inde-
pendence League, which is designed to
bring to an end party rule in this
State. He is by no means alarmed at
the reports of alliances between Muir
ply, Hearst, Odell and other strange
bedfellows for mutual protection at
the primaries and the State conven-
tions.
The Mayor intends to have an align
ment of his friends and his enemies.
He will regard as his enemy any one
who is not for Jerome in this crisis in
the party.
To the crop of political curiosities
which has sprung up and fourished in
tho wake of the independence League
In its campaign to nominate its owner,
w. R. Hearst, for Governor there must
be added new specimen-the gum
shoe" man.
He accompanied William J. Bryan
all through Europe, keeping a close
eye on him day and night, and trailed
Mayor Mcclellan from the time he set
foot in Europe until he stepped off
the steamship last Saturday night But
for the fact that the "gumshoe" man
became garrulous and noisy on the
voyage over, Mayor Mcclellan probably
would be blissfully ignorant of the
fact that he was Swallowed"

society woman of New York and A

FINISHES TARIFFS
IN GOOD TINE.
Harry Blair of S. P. Gets
Freight Rates Printed and
Filed With Commission

Harry Blair, head of the tariff de-
partment of the Southern Pacific, is in
the city, having completed the monu-
mental task of getting out an entire
new set of freight tariffs to replace
those lost in the fire. He had to finish
his work so that the tariffs could be
filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission before August %, when
the new rate law requiring publicity
of tariffs went into effect. He had a
large staff of experts working with
him and they completed the entire set
and printed them on time, although
they had to go out of San Francisco to
get the printing done. Their work
covered period of two months of
feverish effort. The copy for the print
ers filled a number of trunks.
These printed tariffs have been filed
with the commission. The other rail-
roads are waiting to see what hap
pens The commission may choose not
to accept them on the ground that
they do not conform to the hazy pro-
visions of the law governing their
fern. The other railroads Will not
publish their tariffs until they have
had a ruling on just what the law re-
quires of them.

panies are looking forward anxiously

dolph Spreckels, NJ H. de Young. Judge
Murasky. the Sheriff, the Chief of Po-
lice and the Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department.
It viii be argued by the defense that
their policy does not cover destruction
caused by an act of God, earthquake,
civil commotion or military seizure. 1t
viii be argued that the fire, attaining,
as il did, gigantic proportions. can le
gally be considered q visitation of God.
and for that reason property destroyed
by it is not included in the provisions
of their policy.
II the contentious Of the defense are
sustained by the court it will affect
large number Of insurance policies COW
ering property destroyed by the fire.
II the contentious are not sustained, on
the other hand, it will encourage many
who are trying TO collect insurance
from companies who have earthquake

WALCoTT FORGED To QUIT.

Boston, Nov 30.-In one of the fastest bouts ever witnessed at the Lincoln club in Chelsea, Honey Mel lody last night defeated Joe Walcott in twelve rounds, thereby winning the worlds welterweight title. The col- ored champion had his left hand broken and was forced to quit
 Up to the eighth round the fight was fairly won, but in the ninth Walcott cut loose and had Melody in bad way with heavy lefts and rights to the body. In the eleventh, however. Melody came to and forced the ..black Demon" all over the ring and had him in a helpless condition at the end of the round.
 In the twelfth during furious mixup, in which Melody had his op- ponent against the ropes, Walcott walked to his corner amid loud cheers. After quiet had been restored he an- nounced that his left hand, his only good one, was injured. A doctor ex- amined it and said it was sprained.
