JORN LS ASPIRATIONS DECIDEDLY COULED It Would Seem That He No Longer Cares to Be Mayor | of Eoston. Financ al Success in a Show Ven- ture That Causes Him to Lose Interasst in Politics. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. BOSTON, Nov. 17.—The Mayoralty cam- paign oi John L. Suilivan seems to have crumpled up like a rose leaf and only the faintest odor of itis left in the political air. John Lawrence nas, according to ali reports, lost his manager. F. V. Dunn occupied that posiiion. Some say that this was done purvosely and again it is hinted that the same came as a real and sudden misfortune to him. Dunnand Sullivan are out, and though the caption ‘‘The next Mayor of Boston,” siill appears upon Sullivar's paper, the hero has ceased to be interviewed on what he would do if he were only Mayor. It was Manager Dann who 1introduced the Mayoralty aspirations into the artistic career of Mr. Sullivan, and when he left | he naturally took 1t away as far as possi- | ble. Mr. Sullivan may tarn up asa can- didate, but his nomination paper wiil never have the sween of names which it would have had under other conditions. Money is reported to have been at the bottem of the enforced separation of Champion Suliivan and his political am- bitions. He was nevir an easy man to manage a: the best, when money in the bank was required to take people out on the road, money which could be drawn on easily to pay return car fares. With pros- perity shining on him, the champion waxed strong. It all happened over in New York. When the papers were drawn ap for the exhibition there of a week, Sullivan wanted the conditions to be tha: there should be a percentage division of the profits. He felt that the time had come when bhe coula fill a theater fora week and especially when he had a May- oralty bee. Manager Dunn wanted a guarantee. That was because he was living with Sul- livan, as no actorisa siar in his man- ager's private office. The engazement was played with a guarantee, and,wonders, the house was filled all tke time and they turned many away from the doors. This broke the combination. If be had smo herad his feelings at this point Sulli- van might have come back to Boston and the Mayoraily, but he gave it up. The ebances now are that he will not be even in Boston on eiection da; Al S TEOUBLE F vUNG GUINAN, Attempts Will Ba r.ude to Bring Him to Irial, CARSON, Nov. 17.—District Attorney McGowan to-day announced that the Jones murder case did not come to an end with yesterday’s proceedings.

Resolutions were also passed commend- ing the services of Past Master Workman Sovereign. X Other resolutions were then adopted as follows: Declaring unequivocally for the independence of Cuba; condemning the alleged hasty action of the Deputy Sheriffs in the Hazleion affair and calling upon the Government to take such stevs as will bring the offenders to justice, and de- nouncing the Cleveland administration for *‘natching” the sale of the Union Pa- cific Rallroad and the present adminis- tration for carrying out the plan.

An But the Navy Deparimant Cannot Act Without Permission From Congress, Speclal Dispatch 10 THE CALL NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—A epecial to the Herald from Wasningion says: Itisthe expectation o! officials of the Navy De- partment that a proposition will soon be submitted to them by a Brooklyn firm contemplating the sub-idizing of a steel floating drydock, which will be estab- lished by the firm near Brookiyn, N. Y. It would be impossible for the Navy De- partment to grant any subsidy for the dock without express permission from Congress, but there is reason 10 believe that the authorities would be glad to con- sider a proposition of this character. Congress will be asked by Secretary Lon« to authorize the construction of two gunboats for use by the Naval militia. If this recommendation should be adopted it will mean the release trom a great deal of work of all warships of the navy stationed on the Atiantic and Pa- cific coa s, In accordance with the instructions given by the Navy Department the cruicer Marblehead ta: been furnished with sup- plies of smokeloss powder for all of her guns. Sheis the first ship in active service in the United States navy given a com- plete supp v of smokeless powder.

GERMANS TAKE | CHINESE FORTS Troops Landed at Kiao Chau and Celestials Retreat. The Forces of the Invadin Admiral Seizs the Forti- fica ions. Germany Is Consldered to Have Committed an Ac of War, but China Can’t Resent It. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. LONDON, Nov. 17.—A special dispatch from Shanghai says that the commander of the German cruiser Division, Admiral Von Diedrich, landed troops at Kiao Chau on Monday morning, November 15. Tue three forts were held by 1500 Chinese and their guns commanded toe fl-et. Admiral Von Diedrich piaced his four cruisers direc'ly orposite, ready to. tire, and sent an uitimatum ordering the evac- uation of the three forts within hours. §ix hnndred German troops and six guns were then landed and began to march forward. The Chinese hesitated for a few moments, and then the whole 1500 bolted helter- skelter, across thie hills bebind the forts. The Germans quietiy entered the fo ti- fications, hauled down the Chinese flag and hoisted the German siandard, which the warships saluted immediately. The Chinese general, who had his family with bim, did not flee, butclaimed German protection. The forts are now held by the Germans, who, it is believed at Shanghai, intend to remain permanent y. In official Chinesa circles Germany is considered to have ccmmitted an act of war, but it is regarded as imnrobable that Ching, on account of her weakness, will take ac ion upon it as such. American_and_British warships have been ordered to Kiao Chau to watch de- velopments. The ureatest intere-t is teit as to the result of Germany’s action, be- cause the region isimmensely rich in min- erals and the harbor the best along the coast. It is now asserted that the murder of the two German missionaries near Yen- Chu-Fu was not tue work of bandits, as originally understcod, but was delibe- rately planned by Li Hung Chang, Gov- ernor of the provinee, prior to his depart- ure tor So Chouan, of whichhe has' been appointed viceroy. The Berlin correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says: Emperor William is de- voting considerable attention to the course of affairs in China, and to-day discussed tho position of the missionaries with Bishop Anzecos, vicar of the German Catholic mis<ions in China.
