Sheehan, on behalf of Tammany Hall, gave out this statement: “Now that the registration of the voters of Greater New York is complete, we are able to look the situation over and analyze the vote as it is expected te be cast for the different candidates. The result of the registration is gratifying to cur organiza- tion. This great registration is an assur- ance to the people that the desire which is uppermost in their minds, for the return of a democratic administration te conduct our effairs, will be gratified. The prospects of the success of the democratic candidate, Judge Van Wyck, and the success of the entire democratic ticket are increasing heur- ly. It is now only a question of majorities. { have on more than one occasion said that I believed that Judge VanWyck would get van) votes. I would not Le surprised” if he received 250,000.” The Low and George elements are not be- hind in their claims te the benefits of the inereased registration. It is said in these quarters that the man who votes to please a “bess” is always registered. The “boss” sees to that. The man who votes for him- self © metimes needs stirring up. It is also said that a city election with two puppets of “bosses: to cheose from leaves many citizens rather indifferent as to who shall win. It is asserted that no sensible politi- n should doubt that the increased regis a heavy vote for George. influence of Henry George on he labor vote, the candidacy of Seth Low has been the cause of the increased regis- tration. Many men, it is said, who often fail to vote “because it is too much trou- ble.” or “because politics is such a dirty s "are determined to vote now. Hitherto inaccessible in political workers, they have been seen in their homes and clubs by Seth Low's friends. They have Leen made to feel that they are represented in this campaign and that they have regis- fered at last to vote for Low, whom they believe a safe and high-class man. Henry corke und Seth Low are believed to whol- ly account for the increased resistration, excepting, perhaps, that the increased size of the city may have aroused a fresh inter- «st ameng the politically languid. So much for today’s registration talk. Its source must be considered in passing upon fits worth. Woodraf Talks for Tracy. Lieut. Gov. Timothy L. Woodruff re- turned home today, and immediately fired a shot for Tracy. He reviews the political situation as he finds it upon his return, and Says: “Gen. Tracy's election is assured if the trend toward his support continues during the next two weeks in the same volume as it has during the past week. All sensible, thoughtiul men are realizing that there is no possibility whatever of the election of Mr. Low, and that the only way to defeat Tammany Hall or Henry George is by sup- g Tracy. There are five c: including Mr. Low, who will divide the democratic vote, while Gen. Tracy has no one to divide the republican vote with him except Mr. Low, and he will receive, in addition to an overwhelming proportion of the republican vote, the votes of those gold democrats who are more imbued with love of country than hatred of the republican party. I believe Mr. Low will get as many democratic votes as republican votes, and thst even in Brooklyn, where most of his strength lies, his total vote will not be half the vote cast for Gen.

SDON, Octob: CATHOLIC CIRCLES Mauch Interest Felt in the Approach- ing University Meetings, MONSIGNOR SCHROEDER'S CASE The Professor May Be Requested to Retire From the Faculty. MEETING OF ARCHBISHOPS The present week at the Catholic Univer- sity of America will be prolific of interest. The annual meeting of the board of di- rectors takes place tomorrow, and will be followed Thursday by the ennual meeting of the archbishops of the United States, id both gatherings are expected to con- der maiters cf vital importance to the in- stitution and to the church at large. The proceedings were preceded this afternoon at 3 o'clock by a notable ceremony in Di- vinity Chapel, at which Cardinal Gibbons invested Right Rev. Thomas J. Conaty, rector of the university, with the insignia of the rank of domestic prelate lately con- ferred upon him by Pope Leo. There was a large and distinguished attendance. The insignia consists of a broad purple sash and a purple front, and accompanying it is the title of Monsignor and membership in the pope’s household. There are several degrees of varying im- Pertance in the position of domestic pre- late, and it is understood that that con- ferred upon Monsignor Conaty is the high- est. The apostolic brief conferring the henor was read by Very Rev. Dr. Garri- gan, vice rectcr of the university, and a sermon was delivered by Archbishop Keane. An address was also made by Mon- signor Conaty. Important Business Ahead. The meeting of the board of directors of the university tomorrow will be devoted, it Is understcod, to the transaction of a considerable amount of important business. The question cf raising additional funds for the advancement of the university will be considered, and it is confidently believed that Important action will be taken upon the case of Monsignor Joseph Schroeder, D.D., now professor of dogmatic theology in the university. Dr. Schrceder, as is well Known, is the leader of what is called the German element in the Catholic Chureh in this country, which is opposed to liberalism in the policy of the church. Mur. Schroeder's Course. Mensignor Schroeder came to the univer- sity from the seminary at Cologne, where he also occupied the chair of dogmatic theology. Archbishop Keane, it is sald, had been warned against offering « pro- fessorship to Dr. Schroeder, it being stated that the latter would prove to be a lis- iurber of the peace as long as he remained there. Dr. Schroeder was selected, how- ever, and at pre it it is said, stands aloof trom the other members of the faculty at the university, and has no feeling in com- mon with them, on account of the tender cies at the university toward liberalism. It is felt in well-informed circles that Dr. Schroeder will retire from the chair of dog- matic theology and the university, and is 1s asserted that he has been steadfastly op- posed to every movement in which the university has been interested since he has been connected with it. it is further stated that the directors will take this action when they come to con- sider the offer of the Central Verein to en- dow a Germanic chair at the university similar to the Celtic chair endowed last year by the Ancient Order of Hibernian: it is said that the verein wished to impos conditions regarding this chair, one of was that the verein should have the lege of selecting the occupant of the It 1s said to be the sentiment of ent convention of the Central Verein German chair is to be fouaded at the university it should be only en the con- dition that Monsignor Schroeder remains at the institution.

The recent affirmation of the propaganda that no Catholic should be forced to send his children to a parochial school where a foreign language is taught when he pre. ferred the English schools, and the Catho- lies were at liberty to attend churches where the sermons were in English who felt so inclined, is regarded as a setback fer Monsignor Schroeder's theories, and the address made by Archbishop Keane in be- half of liberalism in the Catholic Church in this country, which he delivered at the banquet given in his honor last week, is regarded as very significant, because it is believed that he explicitly outlined the nt policy of the pope and his ad- rs regarding the Catholic Church in this country. None of the directors who were ap- proached would discuss or consider any- thing regarding tomorrow's meeting in any way for publication. The gathering of the American Catholic hierarchy Thursday will be important also. It is believed Archbishop Keane is the bearer of Important messages to the church authorities in this country from Pope Leo, and that he will take this occasion to de- liver them.

Johnston Says = Vigorous, Ag- Bressive Policy Will Now Be Pursued for: Freedom. ST. LOUIS, October 19.—Three Cuban patriots directly from thé scene of terrible struggle on the island have been in St. Louis the last fourteen days, procuring and shipping ammunition for their com- patriots. Their work is at last completed, and they leave today for Cuba. One of them is authority for the statement that during their stay they have purchased and forwarded to a Texas port $225,000 worth of cartridges, dynamite, rifles, pistols and saddlery intended for the insurgent arm Two expeditions. conveying these supplies will sail tonight from a Texas port be- tween the city of Bagdad and Port Gal- veston, and in the Caribbean sea will meet two other expeditions that Sunday night sets sail from New York. Col. Johnston Talks of His Mixsion. The Cuban agents are Col. George John- ston of the staff of Gen. Carios Roloff, Col. Eduard Betancourt and Capt. H. A. Smith. Col. Johnston, who was interviewed by a reporter, said: “We have accompli by the purchase of munition and the like.” Referring to the future of the island, Col. Johnston said: “Autonomy? No! Nothing but absolute freedom. We have 6 000 men under arms in Cuba. Virtually the whoie island, except Havana, Matanzas and Cien- fuegos, is in our hands. We could take Havana by means of dynamite, but we would have to notify the foreign consuls, who, of course, would notify the enemy, else we should blow up our friends. “At a meeting of representatives of th whole army of the east and of the west, late as October 4 at Holquin, at which 1 Was present, and which has not yet been mentioned in the papers, it was reiterated that Cuba would accept nothing but abso- lute freedom. It is a waste of ume for ihe United States to deal with Spain relative to granting autonomy or anything else short of absolute freedom, What we want of the United States is the granting of bel- figerent rights.

EFFECT ON STOCK MARKET CHICAGO, October 19.—George M. Pull- man died suddenly of heart disease at 5 o'clock this morning. Mr. Pullman's death occurred in his mag- nificent brownstone home at the corner of Prairie avenue and 18th street, where he has resided for many yi He retired last evening at his usual hour, which was somewhat early. He was apparently in his ordinary health, and there was no indica- tion of his demise, or, indeed, any premoni- tion even of illness. While seemingly in good health, Mr Pull- man had been complaining during the last three or four days of the hot spell and feel- ing rather uncomfortable. Mr. Pufiman was at his office in the Pull- man building up to 5 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon attending to siness. Nothing un- usuffwas noticed in his appearance After leaving his office at 5 p.m. he remained at his residence all evening. About 4:30 o'clock this morning he awoke and called his body servant to his bed: nd spoke of again feeling uncomtortab: Finally he request- ed that the family physician, Dr. Billings, be sent for. In the meantime, hearing through the servants of Mr. Pullman's in- i Rev. Dr. Chi H. Eaton of , an intimate friend of the Pull- at their edly into the sick man’s Mr. Pullman rapidiy grew and a second message was sent to 5 but before the doctor could reach the house Mr. Pullman had dicd. State: tof Mr. Runn The following statement of the circum- stances surrounding Mr. Pullman's death was prepared for the Associated Press by Mr. John S. Runnells, chief counsel of the Pullman Compa “Mr. Pullman died at 5 o'clock this morn- ing of angina pectoris. The extreme heat of last week, together with perhaps more than his usual exertion in showing some friends about Pull , had caused him a fevling of deb. about which he spoke to one or two fri but which he did not regard as seri told one of them yesterday, who su, sted that he v not locking quite as weil ual, that he had been unable to sleep satisfacioriiy the last two nights and ‘ticularly on Sunday right; that he had some ltt difficulty in breathing but that he felt much better then d be felt that a or two would put him all right.

He leaves two so nger and George M.,_jr., and two daughters—Mrs. Carolan of San Francisco and Mrs. Frank O. Lou- den of Chicago. Mrs. Pullman Notified. Mrs. Pullman, who was in New York, was immediately telegraphed for, and is now on her way to Chicago. Mrs. Pullman is being accompanied on her sad home-coming by Sanger W. Pullman, the younger son. Geo. M. Pullma: Jr., is in the city, together with a daugnter, Mrs. Frank 0. Louden A second daughter, Mrs. Carolan, is in San Francisco, and was at once summoned to return to Chicago. Mrs. Pullman is expected to arrive in Chi- cago tomorrow morning on the Pennsy!- vania Limited. She has been spending the Season at the Pullman summer residence at Elberon, N. J., but went to New York city a few days ago preparatory to coming west for the winter. Funeral arrangements will be withheld until the members of the family present may confer with the absent ones. The death of Mr. Pullman attracted wide attention in business circles. Mr. P. D. Ar- mour said: “The news of the death of Geo. M. Pullman shocked me greatly, though his physicians knew that he was troubled with heart disease. The city will feel the Joss of Mr. Puliman. He was a_public-spirited man and a fine business man. 1 do not think the company of which he was the head will suffer on account of his death. It is true that he took a deep interest in the management of what might ke called the smaller affairs of the corporation, but he told me not long ago that he wes well sup- plied with good lieutenants, and that in the event of his death the business would be carried on without difficulty. I think he was aware that he had a trouble that mgnt result seriously.” Heard at Town of Pullman. At the town of Pullman, where the shops which bear the name of the great magnate are situated, no word had been heard of his death until newspaper men began to in- quire as to the feeling of the townspeople on ‘the subject. The event had been so Sudden and at such an hour that pany officials in the town miles further north on the lake shore. Im- mediately, however, preparations were made to close the big shops and for the — observance of Mr. Pullman's obse- quies. Mr. Pullman's death affected the Chicago stock market quite appreciably. He was said to have been a heavy holder of both Diamond Match and New York Biscuit securities, two of the most active stocks listed on the local exchange. When the arnouncement of Mr. Pullman’s death was Posted on the bulletin board it caused a break in the latter stock of 31-4 points. A break of six points in Pullman Palice Car stock was chronicled on Wall street, but a rally ‘followed. The death of Mr. Pullman, besides leav- ing a vacancy in the Pullman car direc- torate, also causes a similar condition of affairs in the boards of directors of the Chi- c2go Telephone Company. He was repre- panied ce the ead York Biscuit and Di mi aten boards by -in- Et by his son-in-law, It is believed in stock excnange circles that General Horace Porter will succeed Mr. Pullman as president of ihe Pullman Palace Car Company. Sketch of Hin Carcer. George Mortimer Pullman was born in Chautauqua county, N. Y¥., March 3, 1831. At fourteen he began life as a clerk in a country store, later associating himself with an older brother in the cabinet making business at Albion. He came to Chicago in 1859, and at first engaged in the business of raising buildings, elevating entire blocks a number of feet to bring them up to new street grades. While riging in an old- fashioned sleeping* car from Buffalo to stfield, N. Y., it occurred to him that there was a field for building comfortable sleeping coaches, From 1859 to 1863 he ade a series of experiments on the Chi- cago and Alton and Galena roads. From these experiments he worked out detaiied plans. A work shop was rented, led mechanies employed and Mr. Pullman threw himself into the task with the »rdor of a man who moves from settled co1vic- tions. Although without mechanical training himself, he personally directed tne work of others in all the minor details of putting the ideas he had originated into material form. ‘The firs the “Pioneer,” was completed early and at once took rank as the most perfect railway vehicle the world had ever seen. This was the beginning of the Puliman system, which has grown to the present enormous propor- tion. Mr. Pullman was identified with almost every public enterprise in Chicago. The industrial town of Pullman, witht the city limits of Chicago, now contains over 11,00) inhabitants. Mr. Pullman was a brother of Rev. Dr. J. M. Pullman of New York, former editor of the Christian Leader. —_——-____ ANARCHISTS AFTER MURPHY. United States District Attorney at Portland Receives a Mysterious Dox. PORTLAND, Ore., October 19.—U. S.
