NEW YORK, April 26.-RI'hard Croker
sailed for England at 10 o'clock this
morning on the American line steam
ship New York. Speaker Thomas B.
Reed sailed on the same ship, and
the Tammany leader looks forward to
his companionship on the voyage with
much pleasure. They are old friends.
Mr. Croker says he considers Mr. Reed
one of the nicest men he ever met, and
likes to listen to his stories.
Mr. Croker has engaged a splendid
suite that cost him ITuO. It Is No. 7, on
; the port side of the premenade deck.
It Is furnished In light oak and blue
plush. The suite consists of a bedroom,
sltdng room and ath room. In the sit
ting room Is a lounge hidden hy heavy
blue curtains, a little buffet and a writ.
Ing desk. The entire suit Is no larger
than the average slsed bedroom In a
Harlem flat, but it is about four times
as large as an onlii.ary stateroom, such
as will be occupied by Mr. Reed, who
Is a much larger man than Mr. Croker.
Mr. Croker'a sister and niece will oc
cupy a suite together below his suite,
on the saloon deck.
Mr. Croker was asked if the story that
O. It. Belmont had tried to bring about
; harmony between him and William J.
Bryan was true, and he replied that no
such thing had occurred.
"Mr. Bryan Is a nice enough fellow
personally." he said, "but his IS to 1 Idea
I won't do. I don't believe democrats
should le shut out or their party for
not accepting It. In 1900 the platform
should be antl. trusts and a tariff fqr
revenue only.
"My Idea regarding the Philippines Is
that we should subdue them so as to
show the Inhabitants that we own the
territory, and then turn the Islands over
to the Itvhabltants and let them govern
themselves. But I should not be opposed
to trading the islands off for Canada or
part of It, or the British West Indies."

It is dated March 8, and It written In
the easy vein of a relatives' private cor

"You wlli probably read a lot of stuff
about me In the various oowspaje-r. but
I can assure you that I am all right and
have done nothing of what I or my
friends may be ashamtd of, unlets It Is
the making of a king, which 1 am obliged
to do today. But he is a very Inoffensive
sort of a young fellow, a native 1$ years
of age. Ho wears the French admiral's
cocked hat. but no shoes or stockings
or trousers; still, considering the torrid
weather, he looks very well In this cli
mate. But I hardly think he would look
as well on Fourth street. Ctnc-mati. I
am not king here, but just pIVn 'boss
of the ranch.'
"The German consul had a petition up
to the time of my arrival, but s'nee then
he has been a very silent partner. I
am very much afraid he does not like
me In fact. I am not at all popular here
with the Germans. But I am all right
with the English and hope to pull
through with them. I have no doubt of
being sustained by the government In all
I have done.
"P. S. I am In error about shoes and
trousers of his royal highness. At the
last moment his advisers prevailed on
him to put on both, just for this occa
sion only."
The publication of Admiral Kauti's
letter referring to his position at Samoa,
caused absolute consternation at the
navy and state departments at first read,

position to minimise the affair because
It was clearly apparent that the letter
was nothing more than a ttrlctlv private

moa, the opinion was he4d that Admiral
Kau'-r's letter could not have other than
a harmful effect Upon the relations be.

The letter was brought to the atten
tion of the president, and some sort of
reminder may be sent to the off! er to
be more careful In his correspondence.
In official German quarters the letter
was not treated very seriously, and there
was no Indication that the German au.
