THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1902. MISCELLANEOUS. MISCELLANEOUS.

MC LAUGHL1NH1LL BLIND PLOTS TO CRUSH MURPHY No doubt is entertained by them that it will result in the defeat of the Democratic county and borough tickets that McLaughlin puts in the field, handicapped as they will be by the factional enmities engendered in the regular organization by the Hill McLaughlin state campaign Uiis year. Independents Will Befuse to Follow Hill Independent Democrats hold practically the same views 'of the situation. The independent Democrats of Brooklyn are almost without exception anti Hill men. They belonged to the Cleveland school in the eighties and early nineties. Most of them nourish resentment against Hill as the man who defeated Cleveland by knifing in the presidential campaign of 1888, when Cleveland lost New York and Hill was elected Governor.

They did not vote with the Democracy in 1896 nor in 1900. but they voted for Van Wyck in 18DS and followed "Cleveland's advice in supporting the Democratic ticket this year. Results of the election this year have reopened the old wounds. The Independents in Brooklyn, like the independents elsewhere in the state, hold Hill and McLaughlin responsible for the loss of a fine Democratic opportunity. They declare that they will not again follow Hill's leadership.

The defection of that element, it is pointed out. MISCELLANEOUS.

11 PRESIDENT TO REACH TO His Train Was Run at Speed of Over 70 Miles an Hour to Make Up Lost Time. MAY DON OLD BUCKSKIN SUIT. Koosevelt Prepared for Wilderness ConditionsSoft Nosed Bullets in the Outfit. Memphis, November 13 The Presidential train arrived here over the Illinois Central at 9:20 o'clock this morning. The train was about fifteen minutes late.

For some distance this morning it was run at a speed of ever seventy miles an hour to make up the lost time. The President was anxious to reach the hunting camp this after neon early enough to get into the woods this evening and the schedule of the train was hastened to meet his desire. The train is now due to reach Smedes, at 3 o'clock. The hunting camp is about ten miles distant from there and the remainder of the journey will be made on horseback. The train did not run Into the station here, but was 'switched in the south yards to the tracks of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad and proceeded as soon as the engines were changed.

The President has with him the hunting outfit used by him for many years in his hunting trips after big game in the neighbor hood of his ranch on the Little Missouri in Dakota, and in the mountains ot Idaho, Mon tana and Colorado. It includes a fringed buckskin, such as is worn by the old wilderness hunter, and his favorite Winchester, 40.SJ0. With this weapon he has secured many of his hunting trophies. It bears the interesting scars of one of his battles with a cougar, or mountain lion, in Colorado. In closing with a wounded cat the President thrust the stock into his mouth.

It shows the teeth marks of the enraged animal and the place where a small piece was literally bitten away. His cartridge belt has a hunting knife attached. Most of the bullets are soft nosed, but a few of them are steel jacketed for penetrating power in case the President should get a chance for a long shot. While thus prepared for wilderness conditions it is not probable that the President will don hi.) buckskin suit unless he finds that genuine conditions prevail. On the journey down hero the President has spent a considerable portion of his time reading, one of the books in which he is particularly interested being "The Nomadic Life," by M.

Jusseroud, the new French ambassador, who is to succeed M. Cambon. It is a history of the troubadours and crusaders of the Middle Ages and the President is reading it in the original French. Before the train left Memphis the private car of President Fish of the Illinois Central was attached. A DASH THROUGH L.

I. CITY. Inspector Thompson and Staff Search for Pool Rooms, but Their Quest Proves Unsuccessful. (Special to the Eagle.) Long Island City. L.

November 13 Inspector Thompson and his staff of detectives made a plunge into this city yesterday afternoon and made a hurried, but very thorough, search for pool rooms along Borden avenue. The appearance of the police was entirely unexpected and despite suddenness of their coming, there was no effort made by any one, so far as could be learned, to get out of their way. There have been rumors flying about for several days that an effort would be made to have pool rooms open in this city and no secret was made of the fact that it was not a very difficult matter to put down a bet. At least one and probably several handbooks were being made daily, the odds and result of each race being obtained sometimes by telephone and at other times from a ticker. Those interested in the books, however, operated in a manner that made it practically impossible for the police to catch them at it.

Inspector Thompson and his men made their first dash into the Robinson House, on Borden avenue, near the ferry. They rushed for the big room back of the bar room, hut it was empty and no evidence was found that pool selling had been carried on there. The detectives lost no time in the place, but came out quickly and proceeded to Lally's Hotel, a few doors above the other place. Through the front door went the police and they made a dash for the rear room, but were again doomed to disappointment. The place was not even occupied by the regular patrons and like the Robinson House, nothing was seen to indicate that the law was being violated there.

In all, the police visited eight different places and did not made a single arrest or And anything that suggested that a gambling establishment had existed. After his official visits Inspector Thompson called at the Seventy fifth precinct police station in Fourth street and later called a second time when Captain Cooney arrived from New York to take command of the precinct in place of Captain Woods, who was retired yesterday. LITHOGRAPHERS COMBINE. Well Known Firms Form an Organization, but Deny That It Is a Trust. Buffalo, N.

It is expected that a number of other establishments will join the association. The formation of a trust Is denied by those interested. PENNSYLVANIA RAISES WAGES.

Pittsburg, November 13 Notices signed by J. M. Wallis, general superintendent of the West Penn Railroad, were posted in tho offices of the company, Allegheny, to day, to the effect that an advance of 10 per cent, would be made in the wages of employes permanently In the service of the Pennsylvania system east of Pittsburg, who are now receiving less than $200 a month, to take effect November 1, 1902, TROUBLE IN FORMING CABINET. Sagasta Hopes to Effect Solution of Crisis To night. Madrid.

November 13 A hitch has occurred in the formation of the new cabinet In consequence of the desire of Scuor Moret to relinquish the interior portfolio to Senor Romero Robledo. Premier Sagasta, however, wishes Senor Moret to retain the portfolio. The disagreement has caused friction. After an audience with King Alfonzo today Senor Sagasta said that difficulty had arisen regarding the inclusion of Senor Robledo in the cabinet, but another conference will be held this evening with Senor Robledo and other leaders and it is hoped that it will effect a solution of the crisis.

Carroll, Haffen, Cassidy and Muller in Combine to Fight Croker's "Old Guard." PLAN TO RUN CITY CONVENTION. New Leader of Tammany Deaf, So Tar, to Threats, and Buying No Gold Bricks From Kings. Hugh McLaughlin, whose performances in behalf of ex Senator David B. Hill have been yie wonder of the Kings County Democracy during the past forty eight, hours, is declared to day to have extended the field of his Hill operations to Manhattan ang the Bronx, within the party jurisdiction Tammany Tall. If the stories told around the Hoffman House, the Tilden Club and the Manhattan Club last evening are true, the Don Quixote of Wil loughby is about to charge upon the windmills of Tammany.

In the very midst of McLaughlin's noisy support of the state leadership of Mr. Hill somebody told him that Richard Croker is coming hack to New York. The veteran immediately declared that if Croker does come back, he will be spat upon and cast out. It then developed that McLaughlin and Hill have their plans already arranged to crush the Corker element in the city convention next year and that they are firmly convinced of their ability to control the Tammany organization in their own interests as against those of Croker. Mr.

Hill, it appears, has already thrown the mantle of the city leadership on Mr. McLaughlin. Wten Mr. McLaughlin delivered the Kings County delegation to him at Saratoga Mr. McLaughlin's usefulness to Hill was just beginning.

Now Hill is not only using McLaughlin to rule Kings County with an Iron hand, but he is using him to annihilate his enemies in Tammany Hall by means of a bold manipulation of the factional elements of that organization. That is at least the opinion of leaders who are watching McLaughlin'3 remarkable course. All of Crokpr's enemies in the state are being marshaled under the Hill and McLaughlin banner. It is declared that Bird S. Coler has brought John F.

Carroll into the combination with his faction of the hall, which includes the district leaders Francis J. Lantry, John B. Sexton, Thomas Foley and Percival B. Nagle. Mr.

Carroll also claims, it is said, the support of Borough President Cassidy of Queens and ex Congressman Nicholas Muller of Richmond. Mr. Hill has secured, it is said, the support of the group of leaders who follow Borough President Louis F. Haffen of the Bronx. These leaders and others whom they control will be enough, it is estimated, to enforce, with Kings County, the Hill McLaughlin programme even in the event of the opposition of Charles F.

Murphy, Congressman elect. Timothy D. Sullivan and Richard Croker himself. Hill and McLaughlin are believed to he fully resolved to override all opposition. Hill Intends, it is known, to eliminate Justice D.

Cady Herrick, ex Senator Edward Murphy, Smith M. Weed and Dr. Conway permanently from the situation. McLaughlin's intention Is well known to be to punish the opponents of Hill and Bird S. Coler in the Kings County Democracy.

Tammany's Feeling Toward Hill and McLaughlin. Associates of Charles F. Murphy in Tammany Hall said this afternoon that McLaughlin had tried to sell the Tammany leader the Hill gold brick on Saturday. They agreed, however, that Murphy has not bought it. As a matter of fact, it is said that most of the leaders of Tammany Hall, as well as Mr.

Murphy, are determined that Hill shall not embroil the city Democracy in his personal1 rows. The Tammany Hall that Murphy leads Is the same organization which under Richard Croker defeated Hill at the state conventions of 1898 and 1900. Hill was then opposed by Tammany because, according to Croker, he could not be trusted. The Tammany leaders now declare that Hill has given additional proof that Croker's judgment was correct. Mr.

Hill told Mr. Murphy before the election to take care of the city vote and he would take care of the country vote. Murphy piled up a plurality of "86,000 for the ticket in Manhattan and the Bronx. Hill's defeat in the country districts amounted to a rout. Murphy's friends now declare that Hill's interest in the election was confined to its bearing on his own presidential chances.

This view of the case is taken by all of the old Croker group of leaders who are supporting Murphy and are influential with him. They are strongly advising him to drop Hill and give his entire attention to preparation for the city campaign. Those who know Murphy well say that he has not made and will not make any compromise with McLaughlin which will saddle Hill on Tammany Hall. That course would, in their judgment as well as Murphy's, they say, lead to dissatisfaction In Manhattan that would be likely to injure the vote for the city ticket year. The fear is not so much of defection in the organization as it is of alienating the independents whom Murphy has been cultivating with some success since he rose to the leadership.

Certain prominent Democrat of Manhattan' know that Hill conceived the idea of building up a new organization around the Tilden and Manhattan clubs last spring. Tammany men had early information of this and took steps to prevent it. The Tammany men affiliated with the strong Cleveland element in both those clubs and are believed to be in a position to hold the Cleveland voters If these are not alienated by further blunders of Hill. It was Cloveland's influence which i brought the Tilden and Manhattan clubs Into serviceable relations with Hill this year. Cleveland's influence will not be exerted again; on Hill's behalf.

The. Clevelandites of Manhattan are again uncompromising opponents of Hill. Coffey Will Not Stand for Hill. Ex Senator Michael J. Coffey, it is learned to day, has abruptly broken off negotiations for the return of the Brooklyn Democracy to the ranks of the regular Kings County organization.

These negotiations were begun shortly before the election by James Shevlln. It has been expected that they would result in the disbandment of the Coffey organization next December. McLaughlin's schemes to fasten Hill control on the Kings County Democracy have entirely altered Coffey's attitude with respect to the situation. Coffey and Shevlin are on friendly terms. So long as Shevlin's influence in Wllloughby street could be.

counted on Coffey was willing to consider the renewal of his old alliance with 'the leaders of the regular machine for next year's city campaign. McLaughlin's threatening attitude has convinced Coffey that any association he may now enter into with the machine will be in fact a surrender to McLaughlin and Hill. The Emperor of Red Hook does not intend to place himself at mercy of two 'such merciless enemies. It was Mr. Coffey who refused to cast his rote In the state Senate for David Bennett Hill for United States Senator from New fork.

There is a feud of many years standing between Coffey and Hill, as there is between Coffey and McLaughlin. Democrats who know Coffey well say that McLaughlin's latest scheme to perpetuate the Hill influence in Kings County has not only kept Coffey out of the regular organization but that it has assured a vigorous auti McLaughlin Democratic campaign in Brooklyn next year. Mr. Coffey, these Democrats declare, will now get his forces together and recreate a machine which will control many more votes than the Brooklyn Democracy controlled in 1901, when it helped to give the fusion ticket a plurality of 23,000 in Brooklyn. "With the anti Hill sentiment to build on It is believed by Coffey's friends that the Brooklyn Democracy will be able to deal Wllloughby street a crushing blow.

will in itself guarantee the defeat of any ticket that goes to the polls in Kings County for the purpose of indorsing Hill and McLaughlin. It is now remembered that Edward M. Sbepard was kept in the background while Hill forced himself to the front in the last campaign. In Brooklyn Shepardites were refused Congress and legislative nominations in favor of single taxers and other irregulars. In Manhattan conservative Democrats were taken to Saratoga and required to swallow the Hill socialistic coal plank.

Independents arc discussing these among the minor reasons why they should not expect anything but disaster from the leadership of Hill and McLaughlin. It is said to day that, some prominent Brooklyn independents are considering the advisability of forming an anti McLaughlin organization in January. That will be done, according to present indications, if it ap uin. fhif wm thrnnch MrT nuerhlln. is to dominate the Democratic politics of Kings County.

Certain influential independents of Man hattan have strongly advised that action, and have assured the Brooklyn men that the independents of New County will be well organized early next year to co operate with them in the city campaign. MRS. ELIZA MAXWELL DEAD. One of the Oldest Residents of the Hill Section, She Passes Away at Ninety eight. At 9 o'clock this morning Mrs.

Eliza Maxwell, 98 years old, one of the oldest residents of Brooklyn and the Hill section, passed away at her home, 150 Clifton place. Mrs. Maxwell was born in 1805 on February 22. Her natal city was Albany. Before coming to Brooklyn In 1876 she joined the Mrs.

Eliza Maxwell. Congregational Church in Albany at the age ot 13 and was married there. Her family on her father's side were the Sickles, an old Dutch family, her paternal parent himself having been born in Holland. After her marriage she came to Brooklyn and had lived here during the last twenty five years. Up until a few days ago she was bright and cheerful, although at her extreme age.

The immediate cause of death was acute indigestion. She leaves three children, two daughters and a son. The body will be taken to Albany and buried in the Rural Cemetery. MET DEATH BY ASPHYXIATION. Sad End to Career of Gustave Sherman, a Bright Lad, 13 Years Old.

Gustave Sherman, a bright boy who spent his days as a messenger in the employ of a Manhattan blue print firm and his evenings attending night school, was asphyxiated by illuminating gas this morning at his mother's home, 100 Rapelyea street. A defective gas burner was the cause of the accident. Gustave, who was 13 years of age, has been in the habit of going from his dinner direct to Public' School No. 31, on Degraw street. There he would devote his attention to his studies and then go direct home.

He usually retired at 10 o'cl; to get as much sleep as possible, for he was obliged to be up at 6 o'clock in the morning in order to reach his place of employment in time. Last night was no exception to the rule. The boy kissed his mother good night about 10 o'clock and hurried up stairs to his room on the third floor. On the stairs he met one of the boarders in the house and pleasantly exDressed his desire to be around early in the morning, as he had an arduous task to perform at the omce. That was the last heard or seen of hits.

This morning at the accustomed hour his mother, Mrs. Christian Sherman, went to the third floor room to arouse her son. She noticed the odor of gas as she approached his room. Failing to get any response to her raps on the door the woman entered the room and shook the boy. It required but a moment for the mother to realize that her son was dead.

She screamed and one of the boarders who came to her assistance learned the trouble and summoned Dr. C. C. Lange of 580 Clinton street. An ambulance surgeon also came from the Long Island College Hospital.

Both said the boy was beyond medical assistance. An examination of the gas burner revealed the fact that the now of gas was turned on. The little brass peg, which when in position permits the cock to turn hut a certain, dis tance, had become loosened and fallen out or had heen broken. This permitted the turn ing on and off of gas by simply turning the cock around. The boy had apparently turned off the gas and, turning the cock beyond the proper point, turned it on again.

Caracas. Venezuela, November 13 The Official Gazette yesterday published a presidential decree re establishing Caracas as the capital of the republic and as the seat of executive power. The disbanding of the revolution forces continues. It has just become known that during the night of November 2 the government generals having discovered that the revolutionists were short of ammunition attacked them at midnight in their laiit stronghold, near San Mateo, spreading terror in their ranks and precipitating the retreat which the revolutionary leaders had planned for the same morning. The latest news regarding the whereabouts of General Matos, leader of the revolution, is that he was recently near Nirgua.

two days march from Parquisimeto, or three days from Tucacas on the Atlantic, the only two places from which it is possible for him to flee from Venezuela. Matos was accompanied by Generals Mendoza, Riera, Solagnie, Crespo. Torres and others. In all they had sixty horses. The government forces have captured Matos' hammock, cap and slinpers.

and some letters which gave a clew to the connection of Matos with, the Mochist party. TEAM OF HORSES DROWNED. Plunged Into the East River With a Load of Meat Belonging to a Jamaica Butcher. After dashing at. top speed down a steep hill at the foot of East Forty third street, Manhattan, in the darkness, at 3:45 o'clock this jaorning, a team of horses and heavily loaded covered wagon plunged over the bulkhead into the East River and sank from sight.

Wagon and horses stayed at the bottom of the river. The driver of the team narrowly escaped with his life by jumping when be was within a few feet of the bulkhead. The wagon, which belonged to Charles Trautmann, a butcher ol Jamaica, L. was driven by a brother in law of Mr. Trautmann.

a young man whose name the police did not obtain. He had been to the establishment of J. J. Harrington at the corner of Forty third street and Firut avenue, and had loaded his wagon, a covered one, with forty carcasses of lamb and veal and forty pieces of the same kinds of meat. The driver then started for Jamaica.

He had scarcely turned his horses into Forty third street and started down the hill before one of the animate, a new horse that was unused to the work, started to run away. The driver tried his best to control the frightened horse but did not succeed and the old horse becoming infected by his mate's fright and galloped at a perilous speed also. The driver realizing that the river was but a block away and that he and his team were in danger tried his best to owing the team to one side or the other but the hill was so steep, the pavement so slippery and the momentum of the heavy load so great that ho failed. The load weighed 2,500 pounds and was valued at $300. At the bottom of the street there is simply a string piece about one foot high bordering the bulkhead.

The driver stuck to his seat and pulled at the reins until within ten feet of the string piece and then jumped, receiving a few bruises in striking the pavement. With a crash and clatter, horses, wagon and meat plunged over the Gtring piece into the river, raising a big splash. When the driver got to his feet and looked into the water nothing was to be seen of horses or truck, all being weighed down by the load of meat. A flood tide was running and there was deep water at the place. The driver went home to report to his employer.

An attempt will be made to raise the bodies of the horses, the truck and meat. WAR VETERANS GROW LESS. Twrlfth Cavalry Finds Itself Without Fighter of '61, and Only 175 Are on the Active List. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, November 13 The interesting discovery was made at the War Department to day that there is now one regiment in the United States Army without an officer in it who participated in the Civil War, cither as officer or enlisted man. It is the first thing of the kind since 1861.

The Twelfth Cnvalary has been the first to clear its roster of the men of forty year. ago. Promotions and retirements last year caused the transfer of Lieutenant Colonel Godfrey from the Twelfth to the Ninth Cavalry as colonel, and Colonel J. M. Whelan.

its colonel, was retired on December last by operation of the law for age. They were the last two veterans in the regiment. It happened that both, in tho order of seniority, were succeeded by officers who entered the Army after the war was over. No recent event has more strikingly emphasized the passing of the veteran. Doubtless it is a matter of interest and satisfaction to the hundreds of officers who came after who have long been handlcappeS by the great names of the Civil War.

Tho discovery led to the further one that there are now remaining no more than 175 veterans on the active list in the whole military establishment, staff and line. Within a yeav or two there will be a dozen to twenty regiments without a single representative Company P25D I TIFF IR 01! UNCLE SAM By Vote of 192 to 7 1 Agrarians Force Through Strong Retaliatory Measure. MEASURE BREACH OF TREATY. Government Protests Against It and Hopes to Beduce Offending Majority. No Extension of Treaties.

Berlin, November 13 The Reichstag today adopted, by 192 to 71 votes, the paragraph ot the new tariff bill authorizing the government to retaliate on any country discriminating against German goods. The Agrarians openly affirmed that it was necessary to arm the government with weapons for repriral, especially against the United States' customs practices. Dr. Brumer, National Liberal, cited an instance in which, he said. $200,000 worth of enameled goods were ordered in Germany for New York, but, the speaker asserted, the customs officials "clianped the classification at the instance ot" the American trust, whereupon the New York importer canceled the order." It was proven, the.

speaker continued, to the customs officials that the invoice was in exact accord with the German seller's books, and that instead of the goods being undervalued, the books showed that shipments had been made to India at still lower prices. Dr. Brumer further asserted that the customs officials' treatment was dictated by the Interests of the home manufacturers, and he continued: "It is said that we must not offend the United States, but they will respect us more and we shall gain more by showing our teeth than by always giving pleasant words." Herr Gothein, Radical Liberal, replied that such words were no fitting epilogue to the sentiments expressed by Count Posa dowsky, the Home Secretary, in the presence of the Foreign Secretary, Baron von Richthofen, at Ambassador White's farewell dinner. "They will make discord," he continued, "among the wishes spoken there for friendly relations with the United States. Why empower the government to do something it does not want to do? Although the present government would not apply the paraghph, some succeeding government might commit such a folly.

Retaliatory duties are the weapon ot" Chauvinism, and not of patriotism." Herr Fischback, Radical, said all the chambers of commerce were opposed to a tariff war with the United States. Herr Broemel, Radical, remarked that If Germany adopted retaliatory measures gainst the United States on account of regulations which applied to the goods of all countries it would be a serious breach of the existing treaties. It is announced that the ministry has not decided to drop the tariff bill, as published in Loudon, but is determined to persist until the dissolution of the Reichstag, in June. The tariff debate will probably be abruptly suspended by the presentation of the budget in a few days, instead of waiting for the first week in December, as previously intended. Chancellor von Buelow finds that the Reichstag's time is being wasted, and wishes to employ the House on the finance bill.

So soon as the latter is read, tho government will take up the tariff bill, when lapse of time will have reduced, the majority in the House to a more yielding disposition. The ministry has also decided not to agree with Russia or any other country for a five years' extension of existing commercial treaties. PAROLED FOB Long Island City, L.
