Cause of Delay in Appointing Suc- cessor to Late Michael Tierney. Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 8—The delay in the appointment of a successor to the late Bishop Michael Tierney of the Roman Catholic diocese of Hartford is explained by the Rev, J. G. Murray, chancellor of the dlocese, as being due to the reorsanization of the Roman Curia on Nov. 2, 1908. Prior to that date the appointments for bishops of dioceses in England and the United. States depended on the congregation of the propaganda, but now that power has been vested in the consistorial. con- gregation, which. is now consulted up- on appointments for practically the whole Roman Catholic world, a few missionary dioceses being excepted. The change brought a great amount of additional work upen_the consistorial congregation, which had to acquaint itself with conditions in Its new terri- tory, all of which meant deiay.

More Interest in Entries Than in New Gowns—National Horse Show. Neiv York, Nov. 8.—Heavy skies and a steady drizzle outside detracted nothing from the brilliance of the first night of the twenty—fifth natiosal horse show at Madison Square Garden. Never does the garden look so well as when the floor is spread with tanbark and the white walls of the encircling boxes rise on all sides, but tonight, with the ceiling draped in blue, the girders and supports cased in greens, and the latticework trellised with pink roses and glistening with colored elec- tric lights, the semblance of an outdoor meet at a village track was better simulated than ever. Judging began this morning at 10 o'clock, but soclety did not fill the boxes until this evening. Costumes were ‘mot o startling this year as some that have been seen before and there was more interest in the horses than in the white shoulders and new gowns in the boxes. + Attention centered for the day on the British and Canadian army officers, who appeared here for the first time in the history of the associdtion. Their showing in the jumping class was far behind the general run of entries and they failed to take a prize of any sort. The only mishap of the day occurred late today. Judge William H. Moore of New York, a well known exhibitor, was just pinning the blue ribbon for horses shown in harness to his bay gelding Flourish when the animal reared and, driving his forefeet into the judges' stand, upset chairs, broke a table and bowled over a gorgeous flunkey. jJudge Moore regained control without "leaving his seat and drove Flourish out unhurt. Judge Moore was again a winner of the blue tonight In the class for novice harness horses with his Lady Seaton. Gangelt of C: W. Watson's Fairmont Fairs took second, and Quicksand, an- other Moore entry, third. The classes were so large that they had to be shown in squads and judgink was much delayed. George Watson with Indian- Flower, a magnificent chestnut mare, won a blue in the class for novice saddle horses. The red went to Artist’s Model of the Elsinore farm, Long Island. Judge Moore was again to the, front with his winning four-in-hand—Phyl- lis, Amaryllis, Chiquito- and Lensdale. Second went to the Fairmont Farms quartette. Among the blue ribbon winners in the judging of early classes were Ja- cob "B. Perkins of Cleveland and the ‘Willisden Farms of New Centerville, Pa. The Willisden Farme' two year old hackney Gatton Tinker Bell took first prize in the hackney class. NEW YORK’'S NEW THEATER OPENED LAST NIGHT. New York, Nov. 8 most brilliant audiences ever assem- bled in a playhouse in this country, the New theater, founded by thirty repre- sentative citizens of New York for the advancement of dramatic art, was opened tonight, following the comple- tion on Saturday, with Shakespeare's “Antony and Cleopatra.” So great was the demand for chairs that many well known folks occupied seats in the first balcony, and long be- fore the doors opened at 7 o'clock a great line formed and clamored for admission. It is estimated that ten persons applied for every seat. As there is no standing room in the New theater, no tickets for such admission were sold. The founders with their guests and families filled the boxes, the foyer stalls and most of the or- chestra seats. The season which began tonight will last 24 weeks. During that time 12 dramatic performances wil be given. One-third of the plays will be class- fcs and two-thirds moderns.. Begin- ning next week lyric opera wiil be giv- en twice weekly by the Metropolitan Opera. company. In the cast tonight E. H.

Struck Particilarly Responsive Chord. The delegates vigorously applauded salient points in Mr. Gompers' report, summarizing the case. His statement that he and his colleagues should have been tried by a jury “rather than sub- jected to the caprice of a judge who solely determines the sufficiency of the charge, the guilt of the defendant and who imposes punishment as his whim may prompt,” struck a partic- ularly responsive chord. Federation Funds at High Tide.

Other Disputes Taken Up. Thomas J. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, objected to the adoption of the committee's report as a whole, and it was at his suggestion that the delegates against whom there was no- protest, were seated. The convention. took.up, the other ‘disputes for separate action.. President Gom- pers ruled that only organizations in good standing were entitled to repre- sentation in the convention and it did not_take the delegates long to vote against seating representatives from organizations whose charters were taken away for admitting members of the seceding electrical workers, DR.

New York, Nov. 8.—Aithough he an- nounced early in the evening that he had retired to a quiet place “away from New York” Dr. Frederick A. Cook caused to be issued through a friend tonight a statement in answer to Rear Admiral Chester of the Na- tional Geographic society, who discred- ited the Brooklyn explorer's claims in an interview at Washington. In an- ér Di. Cook says; “This is the unbiased gentleman who| displayed such anxiety to pass upon my records, and who now desires to 20 to Copenhagen as an unprejudiced witness. Do the American people won- der that I have kept my promise to the scientists of Denmark? “The only point raise@ by Admiral Chester is the suggestion of erroneous location by the midnight sun. This sight of the midnight sun em April 7 is no evidence of our position. Though the days had been clear, the northern skies had not been cleari at night for many days previous to this. A low haze or cloudiness obscured the horizon and the sun sank inte th's. We did not use the sun at night for nautical observations. Nor did we stay awake night to watch effects. “The original data which I will send to Copenhagen on' Nov, 25 by a special messenger who will ge on the steamer United = States of 'the Scandinavian-American line will be acconganied by an analysis which I am now preparing apd which will, I hope, make it unnecessary for me to. attend before the University of Copen— hagen to explain such questions which may arise upon the original ’eflord of my observations. “My unaitered original field notes and my instruments, when I recover them, wili, of course, be available for examination by the National Geo- graphic society upon the condition that Commander Peary agrees to submit his original data and instruments for examination at the University of ‘Co- penhagen.” BARRICADES ERECTED AND TRENCHES DUG.
