Lewls Nixon was chosen | 3 Mr, Croker's successor as the chalrman of the finance committee. This position, by long usage, carries with it the leader- ship of the organization. In announcing the pame of Mr. Nxon| for the chairmanship of the finance com- | mittee, George M. Van Hoesen, president | of the general committee, sald the step was taken at the desire of Mr. Croker him- welf. Mr. Croker, however, did not ex-| press himself until all the business mlnn[ the meeting had been transacted, when he | arose and addressed the chair There was a distinct rustle of expectancy n the crowded room as he did so. H spoke in his habitual quiet manner. but| such a stillness provalled that every word | bo uttered was clearly heard by all. His| tone was a conversational one, but there was something like a tremor In his volce end he walked back and forth across the room in a way not entirely famillar to those who have often heard him speak. Croker Volees Hin Approval. Tn beginning he sald that the appoint- ment of Mr. Nixon to the chairmanship of the flnance committee had his full ap- proval and that he hoped that Mr. Nixon wouid recelve the same consideration and 0od will which had been extended to bim- selt. He added 1 know the young man well and 1 ba- leve that he will restore confidence in tha organization and bring back to Its support the army of democrats that we lost at the jast election. 1 hope that you will glve | im the same confidence that I have en- joved. | am_continually receiving letters | rom young men anxlous to join this organ- 1zation, who do not know how to join, and 1 hope' that means will be found to bring more young men in . The people who left us for reasons of thelr own can never bufld an organization wgainst fou, on patronage recefved from the republican party. 1 think it is your duty to strengthen yourselves and to sinnd on principles and not on patromage.

In conclusion, I want to again ask you 10 have the same confldence In Mr. Nixon You have had in me, and 1 have no doubt of your suc Mr. Nixon, the new leader, arose as soon #s Mr. Croker sat down and very briefly thanked the cowmittee for the honor done bim. He sald I need not say that this great honor was entirely unexpected and absolutely un- wought by me. 1t was with sincere regrat ilat I learned that Mr. Croker had de- tormined to retire. I was willlng to remain in the ranks. Tut 1 will not accept an executive position and be a mere figurehead. 1 am not so presumptuous as to imagine that | can control In all things.

Vote o Thanks te Croker. A vote of thanks to Mr. Croker for his wervices to the organization was taken. Mr. Nixon was born in Leesburg, Va., 1861, and received his early education Five Dollars a Box The Price Cut No Figure With Him. “I want to say for the benefit of some poor, dyspeptic that Stuart's Dyspeptic Tablets will glve comfort and a cure every in fo | Mme.

The federal ofMcials regard the arrests as most important It deveioped that Strauss has served two terms in New York prisons under the name of Max Millan. The plant which he is sald to have used In manufacturing counterfeit coln was found in a trunk at 2067 Auburn avenue, where Strauss lived with his wife under the name of Brown.

WILLEMSTAD, Tsland 11.—~(Via Haytien Cable.)—Dispatches re- celved hero from Caracas, Venezuela, an- nounce that a bomb was exploded Tuesday last before the house of Senor Tello Men- | doza, the minister of finance, and that other hombs were exploded in different parts of Caracas. The political situation in Venezuela s un- changed. The success of the revolution de- pends entirely on the results of the landing | of the adherents of General Matos. It is reported here that British war ves- sels have received instructions to selze the Venezuelan revolutionary steamer Liber- tador (formerly Ban Righ) |f they meet it fying the British flag and bearing fts original name. A steamer eald to he Libertador was crulsing off this island iast Thursday, It 18 sald to have succeeded in landing arms and ammunition,all along the coast of Ven- ezuela.

Some British war vesscls are expected at La Guayra tomorrow or the day after. Res- taurador, Miranda and General Crespo, which vere sent in pursuit of Libertador, have been unable to overhaul it.

La P Men Are Alarmed, While New Yorkers Manifest No Anxlel LONDON, Jan. 11.—The manager of one of the large trans-Atlantic lines was asked by a representative of the Assoclated Press | today if he expected the usual number of Americans to be present in London at the | time of the coronation of King Edward He sald: “No. By May I fear we shall have such a smallpox scare and epidemic that London will be in guarantine when | King Edward is crowned. That this Is by no means a pessimistic | forecast Is evidenced by the fact that the | line referred to began this week to havs | the crews of its ships vaccinated prior to leaving London for New York Other lines are following Its cxample, tearing that any day the American author- itles may place London shipping under an embargo on account of smallpox. The vac- cloation of the crews is only a preliminary to the same operation in the case of pas- sengers, the English shipping firms or agents having no desire to undergo the financial loss which would be involved by the detention of vessels having on board unvacclnated passengers or crews. In this respect the shipping interests are ahead of the United States consulate, which up to| the present has taken no steps to protect health at the home ports. On all sides in the United Kingdom ex- tensive and alarming preparations are on foot to deal with the unprecedented out- break. The total of smallpox cases in Lon- don now amounts to about Y00, but the cases are 8o scattered that they create the greatest anxlety Medical men point out that the danger lies not so much In the proportion to the | population, as in the proportion to the usual smallpox figures of the metropolls, which generally scarcely amount to a score per annum. London's laboratories are all phenom- enally busy In turning out lymph, thousands of tubes of which are daily supplied, but even #0 tho demand cannot be met. Al- most all of the large firms are ordering thelr employes to be vaccinated. NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—In steamship cir- cles the opinion was freely expressed to- day that the report from London that the fear of an epldomic of smallpox there dur- ing the coming spring and summer is ex- aggerated. So far as steamship crews are concerned, no apprehension is felt. Small- pox, it is sald, 1s exceedingly rare among the sailors of the trans-Atlantic lines, be- cause it is the regular custom to have all members ot the crews vaccinated before they are allowed to enter upon thelr duties on board the steamers. PROSPECT OF SETTLEMENT Indications Are that French ¢ 1 Be Met in Pekin, tms PEKIN, Jan. 11.—The indlcations point to a satisfactory settlement of the French claims in time to permit M. Beau, the French minister here, to present his cre- dentials in company with his colleagues at the first audience, a few days hence. At a meeting today the forelgn ministers settled the details of the audience. The Boyen of the diplomatic corps was In- structed to insure observance of the stip- ulations of the protocol in all.the arrange- ments. Otherwise the ministers will not attend. In the government's present tem- per, the agreement will be observed. The agreement of the diplomatic corps will take place the day after the presenta- tion of the new ministers. All of the of- clals, tocluding the commanders of the le- gation guards, will attend this ceremony. All the women of corresponding ranks will attend the dowager empress’ reception and will take their children with them at the dowager empress' reques Considerable progress has been made In the allotment of the indemnity.

SPRINGFIELD, Ky., Jan, 11.—Jim Mays, & negro, chargea with assaulting Loula Jeans, the daughter of Joseph Jeans, a farmer llving near Simetown, two miles from hero, was taken from jail by & mob early today and hanged to a tree in the High school yard. The mob came into town quietly, and, after arousing Jaller Catlett, demanded the keys to the jall. The request was refused and they immediately began to hammer the locks on the jall doors. It took but a few moments to ob- tain an entrance to the prison, where they found Mays cowering in his cell and beg- ging the other prisoners to protect him. The leaders of the mob took charge of the negro and, telling the jailer to watch the rest of the prisoners, dragged Mays to the High school yard, where he was speedily strung up to a tree, Few Words Are Spoken. The mob's work was quietly done and few words were spoken by the leaders while they were at the jail. They seemed deter- mined to get thelr man Only the jaller and two or three knew anything about the coming of mob until this morning." It fs not known in what direction the men departed, or where the mob dispersed; neither is any member of the mob known to the officials. The negro's body was cut down and an inquest others held by the coroner. The negro was arrested and brought hero Wednesday. The assault was committed while Miss Jeans was returning home from « nelghbor's. She fought him stubbornly and her screams brought two of her brothe ers to her rescue. They pursued Mays and succeeded in cap- turing him after long chase. The broth- ers beat the negro severely and were only | prevented from killing him by the arrival | of some farmers, who turned the negro over | to & constable. the | Proposes to L Out Park, Pave the St and Otherwine Beautify the City.
