NEW YORK AND TAMMANY.

They are talking about Independent Demo- cratic and Republican fusion in the next New York municipal election. The contest will not occur until 1893 and that is long way off. Many things might happen meanwhile. However, judging from past experiences, New York would probably fare better to leave Tammany in control and fight to make it behave and cause the City government to be as clean as possible Tammany usually gives efficient government and she has shown that she give honest government. Nearly all of New Yorks cleanup and reform governments have been grave disappointments.
 The ideal thing for New York City would be administration with former Gov. Smith for Mayor. Al has made Tammany be good in the past and if he were Mayor he would make it so again.

 Since a fortuitous storm and the operations of Sir Francis Drake scattered and sank the Spanish Armada there has been persistent search in likely places for those richest spells of Mexico" that went down with "the stoutest hearts of Spain" It has yielded little. few carronades and similar drifted relics all that the most industrious search has brought up of the galleon Florenza, which is known to have foundered in Tobermory Bay with treasure on board computed by optimists to be worth today a round couple of millions The wash of strong tides through the centuries to have effectively buried the Florenza in sand and clay. But the case of the Egypt is different and hopeful The Egypt, which sunk in collision off Ushant in 1922 with a million sterling on board, has not only been fund but partially broached The credit for this feat is due to Italy for it was the deep-sea divers of the ship Artglio of Genoa who, after two seasons of patient search, located the Egypt in seventy fathoms by the aid of the latest diving equipment science has devised. The first Artglio lost, but she has been replaced, and the work goes on. Encased in their newly devised shells which make work at 400 feet possible and even easy, the Artiglio's men are now so near to success that the minor formality of nsuring the safe passage of the bullion from the surface to the Bank of England has actually been put in hand.

Gossip Authentic.
 The source of the latest Tunney gossip is such, however, as to en- title it to more than passing con- sideration.
 It would be the best of policy, of course, if Gene is actually consid- ering comeback, to issue nothing but denials for the time being.
 Speculation and ballyhoo are the life of the fistic sport and there is nothing like an uncertainty, a may-be-yes-m y-be-no proposition to give stimulation to the discus sion.
 Would Tunney draw big enough money in these times, moreover, to make a comeback worth while? AS the retired, undefeated champion, Gene has won more popularity since he quit the ring than he ever enjoyed at the height of his fighting days.
 It is the same with Dempsey, but Dempsey, liked or disliked, always packed em in.
 Dempsey, in a big match next year, would outdraw Tunney or anyone else, 2 or to 1. No million dollar gate" ever was counted without Dempsey having been one of the principals.
 Tunney's last title match, with Tom Heeney, drew barely half million and was a financial flop, for Tex Rickard.

The talk about Gene Tunney making a fistic comeback has sprung up again and the boys are speculating whether it's just an- other piece of journalistic imagina- tion or whether, in truth, the un- defeated champion has really giv- en consideration to the idea.
 Up to now, there has been not the slightest basis for believing Tunney would reconsider his retire ment, for any reason. The last time I had any discussion with Gene on this subject, on the way out to Ohio where he was to plant a tree for Beeman Dawes and also watch the Ryder Cup golf matches, he remarked quite humorously:
 "Of course, if it was the only thing left for me to do and I had to recoup my fortunes in some way, I might prefer to fight again but you can't even say now that I have given this any thought whatever"
 I do not know what, if any, fac tors might bring about a Tunney comeback. Without any intimate knowledge at all as to his affairs, I would not consider that money or prestige or any lure of the ring would bring him back, much less the inspiration of any patriotic mo- tive to recover the worlds cham pionship for America by boxing Max Schmeling.
 So far as the latter consideration goes, there is no discernible de- mand to restore this particular championship to the United States nor any growth of -Schmeling sentiment whatever.
 The fact is that Schmeling has done more than any American heavyweight in the last three years to lend some dignity and effective ness of performance to the heavy weight division.
 Instead of being set upon by ex- champions such as Tunney and Dempsey, Maxie should be compli- mented for his achievements.

Dempsey Never Quit.

Dempsey Never Quit.
 There is much less guess work so far as Dempsey is concerned. The old mauler never quit the boxing game as abruptly or as coldly as did Tunney He always liked to fight, and always will, as long as there's important money available.
 The build-up for Dempsey for 1882 is a cinch ,as matters stand, with a return Sharkey match or a Camera match available under the proper inducements.

The hope of the Hoover ad-

today when Republican leaders
conceded the probability of a
searching Senate inquiry into
all phases of the Government s

The effort of Administration
leaders to anticipate such an in

before the Senate Agriculture

unuccessful. The hearings, in

The fact that Farm Board Off
Gals admitted losing $225, 1000, 900

double the demand for a thor

officials of the boards subsidiary
organizations, the trem n dous

wheat and cotton subsidiaries,
and some of the rather extraor-
binary deals reported between the
