SPRINGFIELD, UL, June 7.—Secretary Hinrichsen says that steps will . be taken immediately to reorganize the democratic machine of the state upon free silver principles. ‘This means that the various county committees will be purged of all sound money men and a strict and exclusive free silver membership substi- tuted. The importance of this action upon state and national politics is readily discernible. The Altgeld combination is fixing the party machine so that the next state convention to select delegates to the regular national presidential convention will be absolutely for free silver. It ts their purpose to insure beforehand the sending of a straightout silver delegation to the national convention. The present state central committee holds over until January, 1807, and, therefore, has complete control of the politics of the state democracy until after the presidential cam- paign. A list of ihe executive committee of the state central committee shows that of the twelve members composing it six are employes of the Altgeld administration and three others are known to be controlled by the governor now. The democracy of illi- nois has greatly shackled itself with a free silver chain, which it will wear as a badge of honor. At the same time, it has hand- cuffed itself to Gov. Altgeld. Under exist- ing circumstances the two conditions are inseparable. . Secretary Hinrichsen and Gov. Altgeld are now naturally elated over the results of their efforts to obtain complete and final control over. the organization of the siate democracy: ‘The Proposed Conference. Mr. Hinrichsen said today the state cen- tral committee will proceed at once to is- sue invitations to other state democratic committees for a mecting to call a na- tional free silver convention this sum- mer. Applivation will be made to the na- tional committee to issue the call, but it will only be formal, as no response is ex- pected. Senator Palmer said today the anti-free silver democrats of IWinois will proceed to organize what is left of the ~ party ‘since the free stlver split. He still regards his following as the democratic party, and the other fellows as insurrec- tfonists. He says the instructions given .by Wednesday's convention to him to vote for free silver will receive no more atten- tion than if coming from the populists, as, under the circumstances of its call and or- ganization, the convention did not repre- sent the democratic party of the state. The upshot of the whole matter is that there are two separate and distinct demo- cratic parties in Illinois today. How the anti-silver men are to be able to prevent the other side from sending a radical free silver delegation from this state to the rext presidential convention is a question they are not prepared to answer at this time and one which will furnish much trou- ble in the next twelve months. Mr. Hinrichsen is confident’ that a na- tional free silver convention can be held this summer. He believes the rank and fie of the democracy in Indiana, Ohio, Iowa and Missouri will rise .in’ revolt against their state central committee and send count delegations to such agmeeting. He bases -his confidence upon information to the effect that, while the state commit- tees are controlled by antl-silver senti- ments, the county committees are over- wheimingly for free silver. “It will simply be the assertion of the soverelgnty of the people,” he said. He thinks there is no doubt the south and west would send regular accredited delegations, N.O.M. ee Lieut. Galt’s Wife Dena. ANNAPOLIS, Md., June The wife of Lleut. Roger W.

Try to Reform the New York Legislature. “If we don’t look after the cities,”. said Dr. Parkhurst Monday night in New York, “the country at large will go to the devil.” He was speaking at the Good Govern- ment Club A dinner. His subject was “Plans for the Fall Campaign.” Dr. Parkhurst denounced the legislature, and proposed that reformers should ‘‘set back fires” all over the state. Dr. Park- hurst said he saw ground for encourage- ment in the awakening of a municipal con- sclence. “We are going to fight for home rule for cur city,”” he said, ‘and we shall get it. We will resent as an impertinance any in- trvsion cf state or national politics into our municipal affairs. But in that fight the practical politician is going to be your enemy and my enemy as long as we live and breathe. “If we had a legislature this year that did one-tenth of its duty, Mr. Roosevelt's duty would net now be one-tenth as hard as it is. “Our figkt now must be for the legisla- ture. We must do something that will be felt, not only here, but throughout the state, In the personnel of the next legisla- ture. The last legislature betrayed its trust—struck reform square between the eyes when it refused to give us the one thing we asked, police reorganization. We must have a legislature that will give it to Me us. “But .it was the senators who played us felse. Action against them may infringe upon state and national politics—the elec- tion of a Senator—but we are going to fight for our city. It is more important to us than anything else just now. “I am now getting together a list of men in all parts of the state who are honest and fearless, and are with us in this move- ment. We must work together. The Good Government clubs must foster this spirit throughout the state. The people may be trusted, I know, for I have been in touch with them. Let us trust in God, in the Feople and in ourselves, with no foolish ambitions or silly pride, and we shall gain - victory for our people and for our coun- ry. Dr. Parkhurst spoke with great earnest- ness, and was loudiy cheered. tor CORNELL’S EIGHT AT HENLEY. The College Bors Pleased With Their Quarters. The Cornell eight which is to compete at the ‘Henley regatta in the contest for the Grand Challenge cup arrived there yester- day, and were greatly pleased with the quarters which Commodore W. T. Hastings of the Cornell University secured gor them en a hill at Underwood, a pretty little place overlooking the Thames, and situated about a quarter of a mile from Henley. The two paper shells arrived with the crew, and after they had been carefully examined everybody was pleased to see that they bad sustained no damage during their trip across the Atlantic on board the Paris. The young. men from Ithaca created g favorable impression among the onlookers, but the expert Britishers ashore expressed the opinion that they were too light. A representative of the Assoclated Press had an interview during the morning with a member of the Cornell crew. When asked about the alleged lightness of the crew, he remarked: “They were selected with that very thing in view. If we win here we must do so in a spurt, and the lightness will be an advantage. ‘Tue boys are greatly pleased with all of Hastings’ arrangements.” Commodore Hastings sais We have our own servants, do our own catering and cooking and the house selected for the quarters of the crew is in every way con- venient and healthy.” Mr. C. S. Francis of Troy, Y., who is looking after the crew, expressed similar views regarding the prospects of the crew and their accommodations. The steamship Paris, with the Cornell crew, which is to row at the Henley re- gaita in the contest for the Grand Visitors challenge cup, arrived at Southampton, Wednesday night. All the American oars- men were in fine condition and they said they had greatly benefited by their trip across the ocean. W. bently of Fluvanna, N. ¥., and F. M. Matthews of Buffalo, N. Y., were the only two members who suffer- ed Trom seasickness, and they were* only slightly under the weather the first two days. The oarsmen highly praised the offi- cers for the manrer in which they had been treated while on board the steam- ship. The Cornell oarsmen had words of special praise for the chief steward of the Paris, who, they said, prepared all the meals which were served to the American ath- letes separately from the other passengers. LONDON, June 7.—Sporting Life says that the comparative shortness of the stroke of the Cornell crew was the first thing that attracted the attention of the on-lookers, when the Americans took their first spin over the course. The method of propulsion is entirely different from that usually adopted here. The shells are very pretty craft. In an interview Coach Courtney said: “We left three of our best men at home, because we desired to prevent all possibil- ity of the question of the amateur status being disputed. Whether we accept the in- vitations for other regattas will depend in a large measure upon our success at Hen- ley. We shall give the boys only light work for the first week. They will get enough land exercise in going to and from their quarter: —__ Mayor Strong’s Latest Appointments.

The Firemen Made a Brave Effort to Save dt, but Failed. This city was:tvisited last evening by a disastrous fire, the first of any serious im- portance tht has cccurred for some time. in some wnactountable manner flames broke out im-Woodl & Co.'s planing mill, 451 Maryland avenue, and, owing to the inflam- mable natuie of the contents, the building Was completely destroyed, incurring a loss of upward of $10; The larger pottion of the building sat back from the main street on an alley run- ning west from 4by street, aie ‘main build- ing ‘Was a two-story. brick structure, and there was ‘also an additlon of frame. The fire apparently had its origin in the neigh- berhood of the engine room, and ail the fine machinery ‘necessary to such a busi- hess was completely wrecked, the loss from this source alone amounting to fully $1,009. The flames were discovered by the watch- man, Charles Anderson, while he’was mak- ing his rounds of the place. He at once turned in an alarm from box 41. A second alarm followed a few minutes later, calling out three more engines and a truck, but the fight was a hopeless one from the start. Before the first stream of water could be turned upon the structure the flames had got such headway that it was evident little could be done beyond saving the adjoining property. A row of small houses, occupied by colored people, on the opposite side of the alley, was in imminent danger of de- struction,- but the diligent efforts of the firemen kept the flames from spreading. The loss is estimated at about $3,000 on the building, $2,000 on the stock and $4,000 on the machinery, The firm is composed of William 'T. and’ Volney S. Wood, and em- ployed a large number of men. The origin of the fire is unknown, and only the loss on the building is covered by insurance. The fire made a brilliant spectacle, and while it lasted the flames illuminated that section of the city in a brilliant manner. The fire- men attacked the fire from the front and rear, and at times the ladders upon which they stood were quite enveloped in flames and clouds of smoke, and it was extremely fortunate that no casualties resulted. It was more than an hour from the time the fire started before it was subdued. a HOOVER’ DENIAL. MR. Says His Wife Possesses an Ungovern- able Temper. Thomas G. Hoover, who was yesterday made the defendant in a suit for divorce filed by Mary L. Hoover, because of his alleged cruelty and alleged infidelity with Mrs. Ada I. Burroughs, today filed an answer wholly denying his wife's charges. According to the statements contained in his answer, he has always ‘been a kind and indulgent husband, although he charges that his wife is “a woman with the most violent temper, and absolutély determined to have her own way at all hazards.” He states that he is Mrs. Hoover's third hus- band, her first having drowned himself and she having obtained a divorce from her second one, “after first securing a deed to all of his real estate and thé greater por- tion of his personal property, which opera- tion she is now endeavoring to perform the second ime, by having induced him (Hoover) \ build four houses upon apiece of real estate in her name.” One of these houses, says the defendant, was to be a home for the family, the others to belong to complainant and him jointly. He says his wife ha$ no grounds for the divore: and charges’ that, her sole purpose in seek- ing it is to dbtal:’ the property. He denies being unfaithful with Mrs. Burroughs at any, time, and complains that for the last four years his wife has been endeavoring to obtain grounds for a di- voree, and, claiming that she has employed private detectives for the past several months to watch him, charges that through them and the machinations of his wife the late uncalle@ for and unfounded scandal in regard to Mrs. Burroughs was made pub- lic He charges, too, that Mrs. Hoover has frequently threatened him, habitually curs- ed him, has drawn a deadly weapon upon him, “and by her ungovernable temper and tongue has endeavored to drive -him away from their home” During the last three days, he says, she has given him written notice to depart. But, notwithstanding all these things, he concludes by informing the court that he is still deeply attached to his wife, al- though he will not humor her to the extent of giving up his home, children and prop- erty or suffering a divorce. He therefore prays that her petition be dismissed. ——>.—_ The Star Out of Town.

Ramos. Crew—O. A. Hansen, R. A. Willes, Albert Carpenter, Arthur Richardson, Tom Fish. The stories of the survivors all confirmed the telegraphic accounts of the disastes. They agree that the cause of the foundering was the top-heavy condition of the Colima due to her bulky deck load. SS Thomas A, 0’Donnell Sued for Divorce A petition for divorce from Thomas A.

There was nothing in their appear- ance to indicate that they are likely to be- come chargeable to the District as paupers. They looked more like they were ready to attend a tall than to go to the work house, but their arrest was made in the disrepu- table part of the city known as the “Divis- fon” because they Violated “the rules and regulations established there by the police. They kept their windows open, the officer told the court, and solicited men who passed their house. ‘The colored woman is the landlady, and the white girl is a so-called boarder. Judge Kimball heard the statements of the young women, and imposed a sentence of ninety days in the case of the colored woman, while her white companion was sent down for sixty days. — Allen L. Won the First. The first race, four furlongs, at St. Asaph today was won by Allen L. (Washburn), 7 to 10; Monitoress (J. Moore), § to 1, second; Delia (M. Donnelly), 7 to 1, third.

ANNCUNCEMENT WAS NOT A SURPRISI: Prices of Coal Stocks Were Again Weak. —— oy GENERAL MARKET REPORTS ee Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, June 7.—The reduction of Northwest's dividend rate to 1% per cent, announced after the close of business yes- terday, had a depressing influence on prices this morning. The concessions reflected in opening figures were generally fractional, except in the case of Northwest, in which the discrepancy between closing figures last night and initial figures this morning was represented by a decline of 1% per cent. The earnings of the road in question.have for months indicated the necessity of yes- terday’s actien, and the official announce- ment was a surprise to none but those who relied upon the belief that the future would be so far discounted as to allow present owners to derive benefits not yet accrued. ¥f this short-sighted policy had prevailed the stock would have immediately lost caste and would have justly been an object of suspicion, Had the tone of the general market been stronger it is quite probable that a sub- stantial advance could heve followed from the covering of short contracts. London sold a few stocks during the day, and arbitrage houses are authority for the statement that no opportunity fo take profits will be passed over. The room is inclined to look to the short side of the market for immediate profits, and in the pcontinued absence of an outside demand a crumbling process is Ekely to reward its efforts in that direction. The coal stocks were again weak, as the result of trade complications and the seem- ing inability to establish concerted action among the several companies. Reading and Jersey Central lead the activity at ce- clines of 1 1-8 per cent each. ‘The reorganization of the former property is progressing so slowly that grave doubts of the feasibility of the scheme are enter- tained. The motion made at yesterday's meeting to restrict the tonnage for the present month 10 per cent more than for May was defeated by Lackawanna’s refusal to agree, on the ground that if passed no one would respect it. Sugar opened strong around closing fig- ures, but yielded to a movement later in the day for a loss of 1 1-8 per cent. the regular quarterly dividends of 3 per cent on the common and 1 3-4 en the pre- ferred were announced during the morning. Chicago Gas was unfavorably influenced by the announcement that the governor will veto the consolidation bill recently sub- mitted for his approval. This action will give executive sanction to the recent un- dignified legal proceedings against - the property. Chicago houses were liberal sell- ers of Distillers, in anticipation of endless litigation by the former owners of that property. Consolidated Gas advanced sharply to 147 1-2 during the early after- noon, a gain of 3 1-2 per cent from opening figures. There is said to be a short interest of over 40,000 shares in Northwest, the cover- ing of which at this time would force en advance in all parts of the list. The mar- ket is narrow, professional and extremely sensitive to any new developments, and all rallies will be utilized for profit taking. ss FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, a The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest and the closing prices of the New York stock market today, as re- ported by Corson & Macartney, members New York stock exchange.
