POLITICAL Pot IN
GOTHAM BOILING
BAKER SUCCEEDS BINGHAM BUT
NEW FIGHT is LOOKED FOR
LATER.

New York. July 5.-New York's
new police administration, with Com
missioner william F. Baker at the
helm. started off quietly yesterday
There were no more sensational re-
movals, but there is still much uncer-
tainty over the personnel Of the dep
uties and assistants who win aid the
new commissioner in governing the
10000 members of the force. This
influential little group includes four
deputies at salaries ranging from $4,-
900 to $4,000, a chief clerk at $4,000
and personal secretary at $4,000.
Commissioner Baker will be COM
PEELED to get along temporarily with
vacancies In the more responsible of
these positions, for his first choice for
at least two Of the deputy jobs de-
clined to serve.
The political pot boiled fervently
during the day and Gen. Theodore A.
Bingham, the ousted commissioner, on
the eve of his departure for his sum-
mer quarters in Novia Scotia, an
nounced that he would return to New
York in the autumn and take an ac-
tive part in the >ampaign preceding

Russian Paper Urges Country
to Secure Aid

ST. Petersburg, July 5.--The Nov oe
TTemya today, ~ an editorial on R'I@-
sO-- Chinese reIaiiUns, urges an under
standing with the United States in
far eastern affairs and close cooper
alton of the powers interested in main
tanning the independence and terri i.or-
ial integrity of China.
Attention is called to the success of
the Russian policy in Korea prior to
1896, while working with America for
the defense and independence of Ko-
rea, particularly the defeat of Janan-
ese designs in Korea after the Chi
Japanese war, and thanks for
this CO o-operation are given. A con-
trast is then made with the utter fail
ure of the Russian representatives
when they abandoned this course and
to play a lone hand in
Korea.
The editorial, which is based on re-
ports that China is about to follow the
eample of Japan and seek the aboli-
tion of extra territorial restrictions,
declares that Russia should, as far as
possible, support the Chinese govern
ment In this direction, inasmuch as
Russian interests would be but little
affected.

War IF POWERS
LEAVE Crete?
ISLANDS DESIRE TO UNITE WITH
GREECE DisPLEAsES THE
TURKS.

Canea, Crete, July 5.-The most
careful canvass of the so-called "Cre-
tan situation" today reveals a fear
among all the officials of the govern
ment and the business men of the cap
ital that serious trouble cannot be
averted when the foreign powers carry
out their agreement, made fourteen
months ago, to withdraw their troops
from the island in July of this year.
Diplomatic ciecles hes regard clash
between Greece and Turkey as in
evitable, unless the powers should re-
consider their intention to withdraw
troops from the island, and there is
no indication that they will withdraw.
With the troops gone, it will become
necessary for Greece and Turkey to
decide definitely and Immediately the
question of their respective claims to
ownership of the island. The wtr, if it
comes, will be fought on the main
land, but Crete will be the scene of
violent disorders.

San Francisco, July 5.-Two more

the ring than Stanley Ketchel. cham
pion middleweight OF the world, and
Billy Papke, challenger for the title.
They strip for a twenty-round fight in
CoffrOths Mission street arena this af-

Papke, although odds were 2 to I
against him, was supremely confident
Of his ability to knock out the. cham
pion, and would not admit that there
was a chance to lose. He did only
sufficient work yesterday to justify a
rub down, but Ketchel worked as hard
If not harder, than on any previous
day.
Both men were in shape to make the
stipulated weight of 15s pounds and
both seemed in splendid physical
shape.

''The inconsistency of the govern

tary upon the injustice to woman

SAYS HARTMAN
HAS PARALYSIS
CABLEGRAM DECLARES HE HAS
SUFFERED A SLIGHT ATTACK
OF LOWER LIMBS.

New York, July 5.-The World print
ed today special cable dispatch from
Vienna to the effect that Il. I'll. Harri-
man, the railroad millionaire, is suf-
fering from a slight paralysis of the
lower limbs.
Mr. Hartman is at Zemmering, Aus:
tria, and the Worlds cable says that
every third day Professor Adolph
Steumpell visits the patient.
The diagnosis of Mr.. Harriman's diff
.iculty was made by Professor Holz-
knecht. who was called in to make an
X-ray examination of the famous Amer
ican. The X-ray revealed a condition
in the vertebrae that caused partial
paralysis of the nevres.
The Austrian specialist has promis-
ed Hartman that he will recover from
his nervous prostration, but that only
IA partial relief can be expected from
the paralysis. 1t will probably not af-
feet his ability to work, however, the
cablegram says.
