Soine of the more bitter oppo- nents of ‘Tammany now claim that these five members were never Intended to . be A permanent part of: the committee; that they were appointed only for the Presidential campaign; that they ora ex- ofilcly members merely, and were intended only ag x consulting body for campaign pur- poses, In answer to this the Tanunany men point toa precedent occurring in 1875, when Samuel J.

WHAT MIL CHASE, THE MANAGER, ANOUT SHINKEL, Special Dispatch to The Chicaon Tribune, New York, Sept. 5.--Tho National Line steamer Spaln brought to this city last night three ment of the Cornell boat crew, As snonas they got here they were met at quarantine by Irlends and telegrams re- questing thein to say nothing nbout the re- cent Vienna race In which the man Shinkel Is charged with foul play. Mr.-Chase, how- ever, who went ont a3 manager of the crew, says: “We now believe that the whote ries of defents we met with arose from Shin- kes tactics. I1is eonduet has been dastard- ly ‘from beglaning to end, if we may judge of his proceedings In London, xt the begiuning of the trip, aud by whut took place im Vienna, ‘To come right to the gist of the whole business, you will, of course, want to know upon what evidence we make TINS SERIOUS CHANGE UPON A COMRADE, The evidence, wifortunutely for him, is overwhelming, It wil! convince any one, In the ‘first place, we have a number of afll- davits from persons In Vienna to swear to a Jact which cannot be explained except by the theory of Shinkel’s gullt after the dis. patch from Ithaca, [ cannot tell you what these afMidayits charge or by whom they are niade, but it WH all come out, especially in a day or two, and then the public will be able to Judge bet- ter than by getting at the matter piecemeal. We have one afiidavit from a inember of the Vienna Rowing Assoctation who swears thot he hag positive evidence that Shinkel was bribed, and that if necessary he will give the numes of the persons who bribed hin, We found out, among other things, that Shinkel, who had no money to speak of, certainty net $200, bought adraft for 31,00 upon New York two days after the Vienna race WHERE DID THAT MONEY CO So faras weenan find out, received $750 from tho Vienna sharpers who bet thelr inoney against us, and he also made .some money directly out of the crew by betting against 400 florins (8200) whieh we puton tie Viennz race, fully belsving that we could win that race If wo neVer wona race before. Shinkel put in some money, of vourse, with ours, und won back what be put In and our snaney besides, We have creditable evidence that our bet was taken up by Shiikel’s agent at Vienna. ‘The strongest proof of all to my mind Is the fact that Shinkel, when charged with betraying his crew, had not a word of excuse to say. We got hin Into a room when all these rit mors and neeusations were brought to ts and, after'locking the door, so that he could not back ont, WE CHARGED HIM WITH PERFIDY, All ho did was to express amazement that men could be found bad enough to Invent and that we should put any falth. fn thom, He would not disprove any .of the charzes or meet any of his’ accusers, ‘The whole Inatter was so disgraceful. and disheartened us so completely that we did not care fo pial the matter as far as we might have done, To pommel would have only created new scandal and done no good, We kicked bln out of the crew, and got nll the facts in order to present them to the public nt home, Slinkel Is in London, and I suppose will crawl home sooner or Inter, waltiug perhaps fora wiuticin the hope that’ the storm say blow over.
