LOW'S BIG FIGHT.
(Continued from First Page.)
Crokor could never regain his old position,
even if he wanted to. Murphy Is too
firmly Intrenched In power now, and the
lew district leaders who dared to secretly
oppose him were all disposed of at the
recent, primaries.
Croker's friends say that he doesn't
want to come back, and that if he ever
revisits America it will simply be for a
short pleasure trip. He has assured
Murphy through friends, thatvhe has no
desire to mix in the battles o Tammany
again. Murphy accepts the assurance
fcut Incidentally has taken precautions to
prevent Croker from changing his mind.
So far as the personality of Candidate
McClellan is concerned there is little that1
can be said against him. As the son of
his father. General George B. McClellan,
he has always been regarded as a valu
able political asset by Tammany Hall,
and has been in office almost since becom
ing a voter. Treasurer of the Brook
lyn bridge, two years president of
the Board of Aldermen and ten years a
Congressman make up a pretty long po
litical office-holding record for a man
who is only 38 years of age. He has al
ways been regarded as a "safe man,"
has never been an exceptionally bril
liant figure in Congress, but is popular
. with his associates there, and has never
made "mistakes." He has always been
"regular" in Tammany Hall, and never
could be allured Into following any of
the numerous independent or reform
movements which have caused many bril
liant men like Bourke Cockran to bo sud
denly and permanently removed from the
glaring lime light of political favor to the
blackness of political oblivion.
The only thing that can be said against
Representative McClellan is that he Is
too regular. No one denies that he Is
honest, a .gentleman of education and
breeding, and a politician of ability, but
his critics declare that he has been ac
customed ever since boyhood to carry out
the wishes of the organization, and that
the probabilities are that ho will Invari
ably render them paramount to the needs
of the community.
The main objection to him from within
the party has come from the Brooklyn
Democrats, who declare that an out and
-out Tammany Hall man cannot be elect
ed. Leader Murphy, however, has satis
fied himself that the real reason for their
alarm is that they fear that McClellan's
nomination will make it Impossible for
them to elect their county and borough
ticket, and personally he does not care
"whether the Brooklyn Democrats have
this patronage or not, what he wants is
a Mayor that he can control, and is su
premely indifferent whether in getting It
some other fellows are injured or not
It's selfish, of course, but still .It is poll
tics, and the Brooklyn men would give
him the worst of it If they could. And In
consequence he has turned a deaf ear to
all their pleadings.
There Is another factor in the case
which is causing the Democratic leaders
a good deal of anxiety although they will
not admit It, and that Is the Independent
candidacy of William S. Devery, "the
test Chief of Police New York ever had,"
as ex-Mayor Robert S. Van "Wyck once
called him. Devery has already been nom
inated "by petition," and his name will
appear on the official ballot Both parties
are much Interested in figuring on what
his vote will be, for it is generally ad
mitted that practically all of it will come
from the Democrats. Deader Murphy has,
been making a quiet canvass, and tells
his associates that Devery will cut no
figure in the result whatsoever. On the
other hand the Republican leaders believe
ho will poll 50,000 votes. If they are
right it will elect Dow. But the result
of forecasts in bygone years have shown
that Republican ante-election figures in
Greater New York are seldom based upon
anything more substantial than hopes.
Devery, who It is admitted brought
about the election of Dow two years ago,
because Mayor Van Wyck retained him
in office, is now the bitterest opponent of
Tammany Hall. He was elected deader
of his district a year ago, despltethe
hottest fight on the" part of the organiza
tion, but It was a victory barren of re
sults. When he tried to meet with the !
other leaders, or executive members, as
they are called, they slmpiy threw him out
and kept him out This year he ran
again but was defeated.
Devery Strong; With Workers.
Ever since last Winter Devery has been
grooming himself" as a Mayoralty candi
date. He has joined everything in sight,
and is an honorary member of a. score
of labor organizations. During the
troubles In which Sam Parks has been
concerned he has been the firmest friend
of that often tried walking delegate, and
furnishes cash ball for him at every op
portunity. There Is no use in denying
that this ex-policeman, who became a
millionaire on a salary that at Its great
est was $6000 a year, is very strong with
a certain element of the working classes.
The question is whether or not they will ;
follow him at the polls.
Mayor Low was elected two years ago
when the Democrats were desperately
on the defensive by a plurality of 32,000
votes.- Last year In a straight fight for
Governor the Democratic nominee carried
Greater New York by a plurality of over
120,000.
Looks for Close Vote.
Leader Murphy does not expect any
such plurality for his candidate this year.
His own private figures (which may bo
revised later) are 50,000 In old New York
for McClellan, 5000 or 10,000 in the other
boroughs except Kings, which he expects
to see Low carry by 20,000. This wouldV
give his candidate from 30,000 to 40,000 and
he believes it will be more by election
day.
He admits that with some high-class in
dependent Democrat these figures could
be materially increased, but says, and his
HeuSenants agree with him, that the vic
tory of a straight-out Tammany man by
1500 means more to the organization than
a 150,000 victory for a candidate whom
they could not control, and who would
constantly be causing them to wonder
where they were at
Tammany's motto is: 4,To the victors
belongs the spoils," and the Tiger has no
intention of giving anything to the inde
pendents unless they have to.
In the meantime the fusionists are
buckling on their armor to battle their
best for Low while the wild cries of Je
rome are ringing In thejr ears.
They are in doubt as to whether he Is
crazy or a true prophet And it will be
over a month before they will know
whether to laugh at him or do him honor.
XIXON ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY.
Reform Movement, He Says, "Will
Put Democracy in Power A grain,
NEW YORK, Sept 27. Lewis Nixon to
night announced his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for Mayor. In a
public statement he said:
"I am a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Mayor. This statement
Is made with a full knowledge of the un
certainties of the Democratic situation. I
desire to make It clear that I am willing
to take my stand with those Democrats,
however small their number, who believe
that the Democratic party of this city
should lead and not follow in the forward
march of municipal reform."
Speaking of the municipal organization
Mr. Nixon says:
"The battle will be won or lost on local
Issues that are old enough to have gained
a permanent hold on the public mind.
These issues are police blackmail and
that mercenary spirit which breeds dis
honesty In the public service. To them
may be charged all the party's recent Iobs
of local prestige. The Democracy has not
been beaten on these Issues by Republi
can votes alone, by any means. It has
been beaten chiefly by Democratic votes.
"The Democratic party of this city has
all the issues In its favor except these
two. It- -is easily within its .power to
throw off their dead weight when it makes
up its mind to do so. Its right to dom
lnancy will be restored as soon as it does.
There can be no doubt of the result of any
campaign In which, the party explicitly
and without equivocation commits itself
to the reforms for which the city has
four times voted in ten years."
Mr. Nixon would say nothing more
abbut his candidacy.
WILL DINE WITH PRESIDENT
John Mitchell Had Been Invited
Some Time Ago.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Sept 27. President
Roosevelt passed the last day of his Sum

The President and Mrs. Roosevelt and
their children now at home, Secretary and
Mrs. Loeb and members of the executive

his guest at luncheon John "Mitchell, presi
dent of the United Mineworkers of Amer
ica. Several months ago he President in
vited Mr. Mitchell to take luncheon or dine
with him when ho next came to Washing
ton. The mineworkers president is in
Washington now, and will be there until
Tuesday evening. It Is announced that
arrangements for the luncheon was made

on the Miller case with prominent offi
cials representing organized labor, it is
announced that the President has no In
tention of conferring with anybody re
garding that case. His position, it is
pointed out, was defined clearly In his
published letters to Secretary Cortelyou,
and oh It the President will stand.
LONDON MARKET STAGNANT
Depression In Stocks Is Unrelieved
Throughout the Week.
LONDON, Sept 27. The uneasiness con
cerning the money market both in London
and New York resulted in complete stag
nation last week on the stock markets,
which passed through a week of unre
lieved depression. Renewed realizations,
especially of investment stocks, produced
a heavy fall in prices, except in the for
eign department which received strong
support from Paris, where the belief pre
vailed that the talked-of war In the Balk
ans would be avoided.
The prolongation of the British Cabinet
crisis and the political difficulties in Hun
gary did not tend to Improve the situa
tion. Americans and Canadians have shared
fully in the general depression, being
dominated by the situation on Wall street
and the position In the United States Steel
shares, and they showed declines on the
week ranging from $2 to $5.

FREE COINAGE MUST CEASE
Peso's Stability Cannot Otherwise Be
Established.
MEXICO CITY, Sept 27. The report of
Mexico's Monetary Commissioners sent
abroad Is now published. Among the more
immediately interesting points and sug
gestions are the following: .
In Russia and In England especially the
immediate establishment of aold stand
ard In China is regarded as almost Im
practicable. In the monetary system that
Is recommended for tho purpose of bring
ing about a fixity of International ex
change, the price in gold or bar silver and
the value in gold or silver money are ab
solutely disassociated. The former may
fluctuate In the market, whereas silver
money will always have a fixed value In
gold, hence the stability of international
exchange. This fixed value In gold will
be maintained by the governments in the
following manner:
First By the closing, of the mints to the
free coinage of silver.
Second By the fixing of the ratio be
tween gold and silver by the governments.
Third By the legal tender .character of
Sergeant Robert S. Dnnlnp,
of Jacksonville. .
the currency for the payment and settle
ment of contracts of all kinds.
Fourth By reason of its being tho only
money In which duties and taxes will be
paid, as It is supposed that there will be
no gold in circulation.
Fifth By limitation of tho quantity of
silver money coined exclusively for tho in
terior currency of each country. '
Sixth By the creation of reserve funds
in gold In those countries in which the
foregoing conditions are not sufficient to
maintain the stability of international ex
change. The whole of this mechanism is
based on a fixity of value in gold or in
silver money.
The Commissioners go on to say that all
the economists whom they consulted In
Europe pronounced the closing of the
mints to the free coinage of silver to be
absolutely essential to the success of any
plan for stabilizing the value of tho peso.

Philippine Returns Show a Very
Rapid Groivth.
WASHINGTON, Sept 27. The returns
of Philippine commerce for May, 1903,
show the foreign trade of the islands ag
gregated for the month $G,872,9S2, excluslvo
or Government supplies and gold and
silver, being even greater than that re
ported for April of the present year, the
value of which exceeded that for any
single month since American occupation.
Importations amounted to $3,391,655, be
ing considerably in excess of the monthly
average as a result of heavy purchases of
foodstuffs. The outgoing trade Included
shipments of Philippine products to the
value of $3,481,327. For 11 months ended
May 31, 1903, the total trade amounted to
$60,576,245," while for the corresponding
period of 1902 the value was $50,S24,090.
. All the gain indicated by the foregoing
figures Is due to the extraordinary in
crease in exports, especially of hemp.
Copra shipments also are on the increase
and the exportation of this product now
ranks second in importance,, followed by
'sugar and tobacco. Customs revenues to
the value of $8,500,000 were -collected dur
ing the 11 months of 1903, an increase
amounting to over $1,000,000, as compared
with the previous year.

FIGHT ON SAM PARKS
New York Walking Delegate
May Disrupt Union.
HIS MAN UP FOR PRESIDENT
Election t of Donnelly "Will Mean
Great Defection From the Inter
national Association of Struc
tural Iron and Bridge Men.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Sept 27. Pitts
burg, Cleveland. Buffalo and Wheeling
delegates, representing 10,000 men, decid
ed at a meeting here tonight to withdraw
from the International Association of
Structural Iron and Bridge Workers In
the event of the co'ntinued dominance of
Samuel Parks, the New York walking
delegate In the annual convention now
being held here.
Michael Flaherty, chairman of the Pitts
burg delegation, will direct the anti-Parks
fight on the floor of the convention. The
Injection of Parks and his influence has
so shaped affairs that the .N.ew , York
walking delegate is an issue as directly
opposed to the Buchanan regime and it
has been decided to flght-lt out on that
line by again attempting the re-election
of Buchanan.
At a caucus of Buchaaan men tonight
It was figured that the president could
count on 43 votes. r
H. F. Donnelly, of Albany, N. Y., Is. to
be the Parks candidate -for the presi
dency. Those opposed, to him assert that
his election will mean a reign of bossism
by' Sam Parks and that they will with
draw from the International body If it
comes about. Donneljy .tonight makes the
positive claim that he will be elected, as
serting that he has 55 iotes out of 102
pledged to him.
The New York delegation decided to
turn down Secretary-Treasurer Johnstono
for P. J. Dalton, of Chicago. Johnstone. Is
a member of Local No. 2 and a Parks sup
porter and It Is believed by naming Dalton
they would capture the Western vote
In case' of a split
The Buchanan crowd will. It Is said,
fight both Johnstone and Dalton for secretary-treasurer.
PARKS MAKES THREATS.
Things in View York Must Be Done to
Suit Him.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept 27. Samuel
Parks, delegate to the International As
sociation of Bridge and Structural
Ironworkers from Local No. y2,
new York, said tonight that har
mony would prevail during the re
mainder of the session of the convention,
which will resume Its sessions tomorrow.
The refusal of the convention to grant
a charter to the new union known as the
"New York Housesmiths' "Union," which
sent four delegates to this convention,
Delegate Parks says, is a closed Incident.
These four delegates In a statement issued
to the convention say:
"In refusing a charter to the New York
Housesmiths' Union you have virtually In
dorsed all that Is bad and rotten In trade
unionism. By your action you have lost
to your body the greatest city In tho
United States. At present you refuse to
recognize an organization which will ba in
the end the dominant power of the iron
trades In New York." The statement at
tacks Samuel Parks, and continuing says:
"Keep that man in and within three
months there will be nothing left of No.
2 and the International Association will
be down and out as far as New York is
concerned.
"Now, we will say that any organiza
tion that relies" lh brute force to main
tain its supremacy will In the end, end In
disorder and disruption." Delegate Parks
said tonight:
"I am quoted In New York as saying
that I am going to raise all kinds of
troublo upon my return. I do not In
tend to call any strikes among the struc
tural Ironworkers engaged on buildings
in New York. But If there is not a
change in the conditions at East River
bridge I shall start something there In
about two weeks." President Buchanan
said:
"I know of no reason why there should
be any further trouble In the convention.
There will be no split."
A caucus attended by Parks and his
followers. Is In session tonight and It is
believed that a plan to expedite the busi
ness of the convention .to an early ad
journment Is under consideration. It 13
said that Parks is In favor of holding
night sessions and It Is probable that
the convention will be In session tomor
row night.
Parks and his followers, It is said, fear
that President Buchanan and his support
ers intend to attempt the disruption of
the present organization that they may
reorganize the convention before a new
set of officers is elected. Parks wants
to finish the business of the convention,
including the election of officers before
Buchanan could accomplish the disrup
tion of the present organization.
J. F. Donnelly, of Albany, N. Y., who

Cocur d'Alene Men Expected Today
Many Fair Mines Worked.
DENVER, Sept. 27. A special to the Re
publican from Cripple Creek, Colo., says:
Today was unusually quiet in strike
circles. An Interesting event was the

of soldiers in making military arrests
since the troops arrived In the camp.
The petition for habeas corpus In behalf
of Charles E. Kennlson, president of the
Cripple Creek Miners' Union, and W. S.
Davis, an official of the union, will prob
ably be heard on Tuesday when Judge
Seeds returns from Denver. Should the
writ Issue and the military authorities
decide not to turn the prisoners over to
the civil authorities, it Is stated, they
will be brought Into court under military
escort
The company of Coeur d'Alene men,
numbering In the neighborhood of 75 or 80,
are expected to arrive here tomorrow and
will be put to work In the mines at once.
A statement issued by the "executive
committee of the miners says that there
are close to 1000 union miners working in
the Cripple Creek district upon mines that
are fair. There are about 200 men and
boys working upon the mines that are
unfair.
