THE CRUISER YANKEE.
Tugs and Other Vessels Stand by tp
 Give Assistance.

Newport. R. l., Sept 24.-Two tugs and a wrecker from the Bos- ton Wrecking company were along- side the United States cruiser Yan- kee to-day ready to assist the crlis- CT in escaping from the dangerous position on Spindle Rock, where she struck yesterday during heavy fog. It was not believed, however, that the Boston outfit would do much in the way of aiding the vessel, before the naval collier Lebanon, two tugs and a wrecker from New York, which had been dispatched by the navy department, with naval con- structor on board the former, had arrived. The collier Nero, now on her way to Boston, was also expect ed.
 The same conditions as those of yesterday, very thick fog and smooth sea, prevailed in Buzzards Bay to-day, and the steam pumping outfit of the Yankee apparently rid the cruiser of almost all the water which invaded the vessel through holes in her hull on the port side. The fog conditions did not interfere with the work of salvaging, how- ever.
 A wireless dispatch received from the stranded cruiser to-day stated that the report of New York Wrecking Go come to the scene of the wreck immediately. The message stated that there was 30 feet of wa- ter under the port of the Yankee at high tide and "A feet under her stern and that when the high tide was high she raised aft.
 The naval tug Chiskasaw was sept to the Yankee from the torpedo sta- tion to-day, towing a lighter to which may be removed a portion of the cruisers coal
 It is the opinion in naval circles here that the Yankee has sustained serious damage.

 MT Hisgen was speaking to Bai- ley's staunchest friends and many in the audience immediately assailed the speaker with a roar of misses and jeers. Former State Representative Lane, taking advantage of lull in the uproar, shouted to Hisgen:
 Bailey has got more sense In a minute than you would have in life time"
 Congressman Howard appealed to the audience to hear respectfully a stranger, whereupon he was admon- ished by the auditors not to islander the Texas senator. Owing to the dis order, Hisgen abandoned efforts at speaking. n

MURDER0USLY ATTACKED. Animal Sprang Upon Negro Hostler in
 the Dark.

Washington, Sept 24.--Miller Med ley, negro hostler, is at the Finer gency hospital in serious condition from wounds inflicted by drunken baboon, which sprang upon him and buried it's teeth in his left leg and thigh.
 The baboon, known as Johnnie, :" has for nine years occupied a stall in a livery stable in the downtown dis trict. It jumped on MeGiey in the dark and bit him ferociously before other employees with pitchforks and clubs drove the animal of. The phy- sicians fear blood poisoning will set in.
 The baboon had previously attack ed another man, but it's owner says it is vicious only after it has been drink ing whiskey, which the stablemen frequently give it.
 The Humane society holds that the baboon has been subjected to cruelty in being made drunk and also in be- ing teased, but is in doubt whether 1t can be regarded as domestic animal"

 President Pulliam gave out the following statement:
 Tn the matter of the New York Chicago game of September 23 at New York. have received written report from the umpires in charge oi the game, Messrs O'Day and Emslie. They report that the game resulted in tie score, to 1, and that 1t was impossible to continue the game after the ninth inning.

JACOB NEU A DEMOCRAT.
Former Brooklyn Judge Changes His
 Allegiance, in Politics.

New York, Sept 24.-Former Judge Jacob Neu, who has long been prominent in republican poli- tics in Brooklyn, has turned to bo a democrat. He has come out for Chanler and the entire democratic state ticket. He is opposed to the governor on the personal liberty is- sue and declares that the majority of German voters share his views in that respect.
 In reply to request from Chair man Jacob Brenner of the. cam paign committee that he should take the stump in behalf of "our magni- ficent republican candidates, nation al, state and local" Judge Neu de- fined his position and contended that Governor Hughes would never have been renominated had it not been for the interference of the federal machine.
 'The big stick" he says, "has been wielded so often till it has be- come unbearable to men who love liberty and freedom of thought and political action.
 "The interference of the presi~ dent in the affairs of the party in the state, which has resulted in the; renomination of MT Hughes, does not command my support or sanction. On the contrary, 1t seems to me that it calls for the condemnation and opposition of every man who is not tied and shackled by party ties and fettersAand as prefer liberty of thought and action I shall oppose the republican party and It's policies and candidates in this campaign"
