Newspapers up the state along the line Of the
New York Central railroad have been recently
reviving the story Of the ghost train. Nobody
has ever heard authentic statement from
any one who has seen the ghost train, but its

the train pull up to the station in the evening

HEARST MEN UNEASY.
May LeaUe Republicans and Line
Up zcith Tiger.

The Republican and Municipal Ownership alder
men held caucus at the City Hall yesterday after
noon following the session of the board, which
asked the Hearst to consent TO the expenditure
of money for the Street Cleaning. Dock and Fire
departments and for the Borough President of
Brooklyn. The Hearst men insisted that the city
had business buying automobiles for the depart
ments, as It setting extravagant example
There a good deal Of animOsity in the debate
and it is believed at the City Hall that the Hearst
men about ready to break away from the Re
publcans and get what they can by lining up with
Tammany.
If the Hearst break away they can make
trouble for the Republicans when It comes to re-
appOrtioning the Assembly districts. The bOun-
daries Of the Senate districts will be fixed by the
State Senate. and will be according TO the views
Of the Republican county leaders. and three As
semby districts will be formed in each OF the Sen
ate districts. The aldermen carve the Assembly
districts. and. If the Hearst go over TO Tam
many, they will be able to get some advantage in
shaping the district lines.
Another thing brought up at the conference was
the reorganization Of the marriage bureau in the
City Hall This is not a charter office or bureau.
Three Tammany men. Billy Long, James Weldon
and Patrick Paul. the bureau for what they
get out Of II in fees. They seem to make a
attention Of some Of the Republican aldermen. who
want the place for patronage reasons. City Clerk
Scully. who hitherto has designated the men to
man the marriage bureau, said last night he IN

GERMAN CHANCELLOR's TRIALS.
No Definite Indication, However That
Prince Won Buelow Will Retire.

Berlin, March 27-Chancellor Won BuIow's
relations with Emperor William have been the
subject Of much talk among the public recently.
now ana then a German newspaper has printed
suardedly an intmation Of a Chancellor crisis
which has been followed by deniaIs on the part
Of newspapers having official connections. Since
Herr Won Tschirsky was appointed Secretary for
Foreign Affairs in January, in succession to the
late Baron Won RiChthofen. 1t has been said that
the Chancellor was dissatisfied because Tschir-
sky was selected by the Emperor without pre-
vious consultation with the Chancellor Every
week brought out new story. The one Of the
moment concerns the placing Of the Colonial Bu-
reau Of the Foreign Office on a Cabinet grade.
with Prince Ernest Won HOhenlohe-Langenburg
director OF the bureau. as Colonial Minister
Prince Won BGlow proposed Prince Won Hohen-
lohe-Langenburg for the post, but when the
appropriation refused by the Reichstag
committee the Chancellor. it IS said, suggested
that some one else must be chosen for the post
The Emperor however, took the view that it
was best to support Prince Won Hohenlohe and
insist on the ReiChstag making the appropria-
tion. The question viii probably come up in the
ReiChstag in a few days.
The Emperor after his morning walk in the
Tiergarten usually calls at the Chancellor's
palace and walks up and down the garden with
him. Residents of the houses overlooking the
garden observe that his majesty's attitude tow
ard Prince Won Bulow does not differ from his
former friendness.
It IS true that Prince Won Bulow has been
much criticised, and there is a disposition to
blame him for the suspicion and distrust Of
Germany manifested abroad. Several govern
ment measures especially the taxation measures
have not been approved by the ReichssaE, Criti-
! cism, however. centres upon the Chancellor for
/ everything which any one disapproVes OF. His
position has been especially difficult during the
Hs.Fs. lffFrcr h.
Algeciras, and his i'll Wishers have used the an
portunity to conduct a limited press campaign
/ against him. There is no certain indication that
the ChaucelloTs position has been seriously af-

MR.. STORER'S RECALL.
Officials at Vienna Embarrassed by
the Situation.

Vienna. March 27-The Foreign once re-
ceived this morning the following dispatch from
Mr. Root Secretary Of State regarding Ambas-
sadOr Storer:
I have the honor 10 advise your excellency
that the President has been pleased to terminate
at once, and without any such delay would be
Incidental to the transmission Of a letter OF re-
call by mail, the authority OF his Ambassador,
Mr.. Storer. to represent him. The President has
accordingly recalled Mr. Storer, whose repre-
sentative functions have already ceased. This
action viii be- supplemented by a formal letter
OF recall which already has been signed and
will be presented to you in accordance with the
former custom in such matters. Secretary Rives
OF the Niennese Embassy has been named as
charge. l request your eXceency to receive
him and treat him in that capacity.
Foreign Office circles are undecided how to
meet the request of President Roosevelt. The
officials stick to the opinion that there is no
precedent for not regarding Mr.. Storer as am
bassador as long as he stays in Vienna without
having presented a letter Of recall The key to
the embarrassing situation is now in Mr.. Stor-
er's hands. He Will reach Trieste on wednesday
night and will start at once for Vienna. A
letter of recall can be presented, according to
court and diplomatic etiquette, by an ambassa-
dor only to the Emperor, not to the Foreign
Minister. and by no means by charge. 1t Is
said that the simplest way Of settling the rather
difficult situation is for Mr.. StOrer rot 10 stay
I'm Vienna while the letter of recall may later
be presented by his successor. Mr.. Fr9ncis.
The Foreign Office to-day announces that
Emperor Francis Joseph this morning approved
the appointment of Charles Spencer Francis, OF
Troy, to be Ambassador of the United States
to Austrla-HunGary.
The Foreign Office tonight informed Secre-
tary Rives that the government accepts his
nomination as charge until Ambassador Storer

English method of placing the name OF every can

FEELS DEEPLY IN THE MATTER.
Cheers and handcIapping greeted the speaker
who seemed TO realize that he was using strong
language. When he resumed he said:
Now, didn't mean when began speaking
to go into this thing quite so deep but 1 feel
deeply in this matter. Everything in politics
should be on the square. Even II you differ with
a man in politics you are bound TO deal squarely
with him"
That's right shouted one OF the guests.
Il was talking with Mr.. Belmont tonight"
said Mr. Nicoll. as he paused TO take drink Of
water. "and he said I had better not go very
deeply into this matter. But I'm not poll
tician I'm here with lot Of old neighbors and
friends, and I'm inclined to talk freely. I'm not
looking for anything in politics. and can afford
to tell the truth"
There were more cheers, and then Mr.. Bel
mont as POSTMASTER said:
IN the last part of Mr.. NicolTs speech he said
he was speaking for himself and that did not
prompt him. All in favor of that part Of his
speech in which he says did not prompt him

tice ODwyer, of the City Court. made a brief
speech, in which he backed up Mr.. NicOll by
saying that the treachery of 1904 must be re-
membered by all good citizens. He said that
self-seeking politicians must be opposed by con-
servative men who were inspired by honor and
good conscience.
President John Fox of the club called on
for remarks and responded briefly.
