The civilized world has yearly

NEW YORK POLITICS.

= The democratic state campaign IN
New York reached flood tide last night
at a meeting in Carnegie Hall, where
John A. Dix, the nominee for governor,
made his first public address in the
city.
The meeting also served as the occa-
sion for Mayor Gaynor's long expected
formal announcement Of his support
for the ticket. The mayors voice still
being weak, this came in the form OF a
letter to the chairman OF the meeting.
The rally was held under the auspices
Of the Independent Business Mems
League, and Herman Ridder, president
of that organization, presided. There
we're speeches also by Martin Ii. Glynn,
OF Albany, former state comptroller; by
DR.. Melancthon w. Stryker, president
OF Hamilton College, who recently an
nounced that, al hough republican,
he would support Dix, and by Herbert
P. BisselI, of Buffalo.
Mr.. Dix devoted the greater part Of a
5000. word speech to denunciation OF
Theodore Roosevelt. He charged the
former president with wiilful falsehood
in repeating the accusation for which
Mr.. Dix in his Buffalo speech de-
manded an apology.
He declared that Colonel Roosevelt,
because OF what he deems to be his
political necessity of tho hour, struck
hands and made a political alliance"
with William r. Hearst, whom four
years ago Roosevelt had publicly
branded as responsible for the assassin's
bullet which made him president. "
Leaving the subject of Roosevelt the
candidate returned to charges OF repub-
lican extravaganza. He promised that
a democratic administration would re-
duce taxation and once more make it
possible for the average man" to save
enough for rainy day.

of o large block, surrounded by trees
OF many kinds, the growth ola century.
The city is to purchase the property
and build thereon modern public

The house has a history. During
the civil war Miss Elizabeth Van Lew,
who had inherited the place from her
father, acted as a spy for the federal
government, and through her an unin-
corrupted communication was main
tanned with the forces which were
operating around Richmond. 1t was
in this house that Captain Streight
and score OF others, confined in old
Libby prison, were secreted after they
had tunneled out of the prison. They
were given medical treatment and food
by Miss Van Lew, and in the dead OF
night they we're conducted to the fed
eral army lines and later returned to
their homes. Miss Van Lew went in
and; out among the soldiers and was
never thought to be an agent OF the
besieging army.
The house was built considerably
more than hundred years ago and ii
an imposing edifice, standing three
stories.' 1t was in tho garnet 1.-THE hou.s
that the prisoners were hidden in a
secret chamber, tile entrance being a
panel in the wall, which was white
washed and completely hidden from

Miss Van Lew as postmaster. and she
served three terms. She died some ten
years ago and is buried in shockoe

An additional 10000 loyal soldiers

that they were summoned to the cap''
tai to participate in n monster memoir
al to the victims of the battle OF Melll-
la last year. However, no suggestion
that such a memorial service was in

til a rumored revolution reached the

that the memorial" is merely a sub

In the meantime strike has been
ordered ill over Spain and the order

of workmen have LAID down their tools

Petition Dismissed.

Baltimore, Nov. 3.-Judge Harlan
shortly before noon today handed down
a decision dismissing Governor
Crother's petition for 4 mandamus
against the present board OF police
commissioners in the governor attempt
to dismiss from office the present board,
and appoint provisional board.
Judge Harlan in his opinion upheld the
action OF Police Commissioners Whettle,
Clothwortly and Tome, in their re-
f,isal to rclinquish their Offices. The
action OF the governor was begun, 1t
was alleged, on account OF the police
commissioner failure to dismiss certain
members OF the police force in COLI
nection with cocaine, liquor and other
petty graft. Judge Harlau's decision is
sweeping. 1t holds that the governor is
utterly without power, although chief
executive OF the stale, to remove the
commissioners. The police board IS
appointed by the governor.
