Bait Dealing with lhariser Sow, Wot with a Weak-tlacko- d Stateorganisation !( ta Ba Treable Ahead.

The campaign (or control of the GreaterNew York opens with n proitect of ft disturb- -

tntc controversy between Tamnianjr Hall and1 tho llrooklynUlemocrncy orer tho make-u- p otI tho city ticket. Until a tow dart ago It was

supposed that tho relations between tho load-- ?

era of both organizations were of a most bar-- imonlous nnture, and that nothing was likely to

l srlse to causo any friction. Tho emphatic dom.inj ot the Ilrookljrn leaders that to themshould bo conceded tho naming ot tho cnndl-- 1

dste for cither Mayor or Comptroller and theirdetermination not to bo put off with tho Presl--

dency of the Municipal Council has completely' changed tho situation, and now there Is war1 lo the Democratic camp. Mr. Hugh McLaugh-- )

Un, backed up solidly by all tho Assembly dis-

trict leaders, has.sent several messagcVrccently: to John C. Shcehan, bluntly notifying him thatI leaving the question ot fairness out of sight,; U would bo bad politics f6r New York to grab

the Mayoralty and Comptrollershlp nnd giroBrooklyn tho comparatively minor office ot

i President ot tho Council.Mr. Shcehan. It Is also said, was told that

there was a strong feeling Ini Brooklyn, and that It would bo nnwlso to In--t

tensity It by presenting what might bo deslg--B

Bated a Slmon-pur- Tammany ticket. Chalr--man Bernard J. York of tho Executive Com- -

tnlttce, as Mr. McLaughlin's representative,B made a firm presentation to Mr. Shcehan ofK Brooklyn's claims, and John M-elt Csrty, who has had close relations with thon Tammany managers, also expressed the sameII views. Mr. Sheehan, so It is positively stated,f gave no encouragement whatever to thoI Brooklyn men that their demand would be com- -

piled with. In fact, they "ere distinctly In--

formed that New York would Insist on having

I the first and sacond places on the ticket. ThisH pews Droved very distasteful to the Brooklyn

I leaders, and there were numerous threats madon yesterday at the Thomas Jefferson heodQuar--

rsrs that Tammany Hall might find Itself In abad fix If its programme was caniod out.

"We must get what belongs to us." one otH he district leaden said, "or Tammany TTall

will have to elect its candidates without asslsl-- Iance from Brooklyn."I It Is said that In defence of their proposed ao- -

tlon the Tammany leaders explained that theI general demand by the financial and businessmen of New York for the nomination of AshbelP. Fitch as Comptroller could not bo ignored.In answer to this, the Brooklyn men said thatthey could present a candidate who wouldcome np to ail the requirements of the office.They are supposed to have referred to citherJoseph a Hcndrtx, William H. Coombs, orJulian D. FairchUd.

Mr. Sheahan would only say yesterday thatthere has been no change in tho attitude of Tarn- -many, and that she still Insists on her right toname the candidates tor both places, lie wouldnot admit that any threat from Brooklyn badbeen conveyed to him, but said that if It hadbeen it would probably have no effect.

Senator George W. Plunkltt Saidthat the Brooklyn men would not dare to bolt.Another leader said :

" The Brooklyn Democrats are merely keepingnp their record. They always were kickers,and they have generally kicked to Some pur- -toes. Their demand were generally acceded(a by the State organization at State convert-m- -Bona, but they will find ther are dealingwith different people now. we have got

Bk. the rotes In the City. Convention and wekra going to use them, wears entitled to bothMayor jnd Comptroller, and all McLaughlin'skicking won't help him to get one of the places.That la all there Is ot It except that he has gotto take his medicine and won't bolt, for the eleotlon law furnishes barrier against that.lie has got to use the Democratlo ballot andemblem and hs can't have It for his countyticket wl hont our candidates for city officeson It. That settles the bolt question at once.There will be no bolt, and Mr, McLaughlin willdo the best be can with what he enn get.

It was reasserted at Tammany HalT yesterdaythat Comptroller Fitch will be the Democraticcandidate for Comptroller of the greater city.

There was a story in circulation last nightthat the Brooklyn Democracy might break awayfor good from Tammany and ally Itself withsome ot the foes in lie own ranks.

It was also (aid by the political gossips thatGilroy, whose eon recently became a

resident ot tho Park Slope in Brooklyn, was Insympathy with the movement,In which the nomination of Day- -ton for Mayor, with a Brooklyn man for Conip- -troller, was contemplated.

The storf received very little considerationfrom politicians In either party

I and was generally discredited. Hugh McLaughUn never bolted a convention in his I fe, and evensupported Bryan last year, although It was wellknown that be was utterly opposed to the plat--Iform upon which be stood. His friends are con

I fldent that the Brooklyn delegation will parflei- -pate In the convention and abide by its eecislon,whatever it may be. They ridicule the rumor efa comblna- -tlon.

There are others, however, who are confidentthat Mr. McLsngblin and Mr. Sheehan have

J had a serious split, and that there are stormyBW times ahead for the Democracy of the Greater

j New York.The demand of the Brooklyn men for one of

the leading places on the city ticket they regardI as a pretext merely for Inaugurating the bostlll- -

ties.I It was said that Mr. McLaughlin was a strongI admirer of Dayton, and had noI sympathy with the determination of Mr. Shee--I han and the other Tammany managers to et- -I dude him from the Mayoralty race and also toI refuse him a nomination to the Bupreme Court

bench.I It is known that Mr. Dayton has paid more

H than one visit to Mt. McLaughlin in BrooklynI recently.I The Thomas Jefferson heodouarters wasI much disgusted yesterday over the rumor thatH reliable information had been received thatI Henry Oconto would accept the nomination ofI all the Bryanje organizations for Mayor andH was sure to niaBo some serious inroads on theI Democratic voto In Brooklyn.

PonT Towkbend, Wash.. Sept. 24. The tugPioneer, whloh arrived hero from Dyca nndSksgway brings the story ot an avalanchewhich descended near Sheep Camp, on thn Clill-ko-

trail on last HundnT morning, causingeighteen deaths. Only one body was Identified;It was that ot young Cboynskl, tho son of anewspaper man In Kan Francisco and cousin ofJoe Choynskt, the prize fighter.

The officers of the Pioneer say tho story wasbrought to Skagway on Monday evening by threomen, who told It In such a way as to leavo nodoubt as to Its truth. They describe tho ava-lanche as consisting ot rocks. Ice end dirt. Themass had been loosened by the hard rains whichhad been falling continuously for tho lastmonth. CapU Kollton, master of the Ploneor,says:

"Threo men carao to Skagway Beach on Mon-day night with tho slory that at Sheep Campthat morning at 3:30 o'clock a peculiar soundfrom tho southwest sldo of the mountain wasbeard. Before residents of tho camp could fullydress they found themselves being raoldly bornedown tbo canon nn a mass ot moving debrisfrom the mountain side. Tho slide struck thotown In tho northern part, whore nearly all thepackers were quartered In tents and asleep. Tbomain part of tho slide from the mountain missedSheep Camp proper, although, from the report,very llttlo of the town remains.

The packers' camp was wholly carried away.It Is lruposslblo to learn the ftill names of theunfortunates, as they were all known as Jack,Dick, kc

"Tho cause of the slide was reported to bethe action ot tho heavy rains on tho hills, wherea sort of reservoir was formed, and whence thowater forced the land down into the basin below.Nover before have such heavy ruins been

by the oldest Indians In the neighbor-hood ot Chllkoot Pass."

Tho steamer Al-K- one week overdue fromAlaska, arrived this morning. She carried alarge listot men returning from Bkagway whowere unable to cross tho pass. The snow Is sixinches deep at Lake Bennett, and throe Inchesfell on tho summit of Chllkoot Pass on last Satur-day. Bxcesslro rains have washed away allbridges on tho 8kagway River, and that streamIs now a raging torrent.

OMAru, Neb., 8ept. 24. The Omaha Live StockExchange, which was yesterday enjoined by theGovernment from doing business, will fight thecase. It was predicted last night that the offi-

cers ot the organization would seo the futilityot resistance and would abandon business, butthe directors held a meeting y and deter-mined to oppose the Injunction. Tho membersadmitted that they expected support from otherexchanges In the country, whoso existence ismenaced by the Government's action.

Assistant Attorney-Genera- l Sawyer said to-

day that tbo action hero would be duplicated Inevery State where there is an exchange doingbusiness, and that all would be forced to close.He said that the Attorney-Genera- l hail beenworking on the case for wo months, and thatthe Injunction here had no relation to the Kan-sas case, although tho basis of the complaint Issimilar.

The President of the Exchange said that Itwould be a severe blow to the interests of thecattle industry all over the United States' if theGovernment succeeded in its contention, and hecould not understand the motive of the officers.

Martin said:"The action ot the United States Attorney-Gener-

is unaccountable. As to the probableresult or tbe policy to be pursued by tne Ex-change. I will not express an opinion."

Secretary Lott said:" A dissolution of tho Exchange would be ablow to the cattlo interests of the West, as bythe rules governing tho buying and selling ofstock in force the shipper Is protected in everyway, especially against unprincipled personswho otherwise might frequent the yards."

Draper Smith, a prominent member of the Ex-change, expressed both surprise nnd regret.

"Under the rules and regulations now Invogue." Mr. Smith said, " tbe cattle bnslnessof the West Is being handled with satisfactionto the shippers and commission men. I thinkthat tho United States authorities mutt beignorant ot tbe safeguards which the Exchangethrows about the skipper, or they would nothave taken this step.

BlLUNDB, Mont, Sept. 24. Sheriff Dunn ofCarbon county and a posse have effected tbocapture of three men who were Implicated Intho robbery of Clay, Robinson Co.'s bank atBellefourche, S. D., last June, when tho cashierwas shot and several thousand dollars In cur-rency was stolen. The men were capturednorth of Billings. In the Mussel Shell country.They were seen in Red Lodge on Sunday, andthe Sheriff Immediately began preparations tofollow them. He called In two n

stock detectives, who had been after these menbefore for cattle stealing, and called on severalcitizens to ndd to tbe strength of the posse.Knowing the desperate character of the men.Sheriff Dunn gave.orders.to take them dead oralive.

The posse followed tbe robbers' trail for threedays, and came upon the desperadoes at 9o'clock on Wedncodny evening. Just as theywere going Into camp. Two men were gettingwater at a spring and tbe other was picketingtho horses. On being summoned to surrender,tbe two men at the spring jumped over a bankand attempted to defend themselves, but when-ever they showed their heads tho deputies fired,and finally they surrendered. The man withthe horses parleyed, nnd getting behind a horsedrew bis revolver. A shot from a deputy'srifle went through tbe horse's neck and hit therobber's wrist, causing blm to drop his revolver.He mounted, and his horse ran a mllo before itfell, shot dead. He then surrendered. Tbenames of tho desperadoes cannot bo learned atthlstime.las only a brief account of the affair hasbeen received.

There is a reward ot s?02ri tor the capture ofeach of these robbers. Ever slnco tho robberylast June the authorities of South Dakota,Wyoming and Montana have been on the look-out for them. Until recently tboy have beenhiding In tho Jackson Holo country, wherecatlie rtiKtlers and desperadoes are haul to cap-ture. They are known to huvo been Implicatedin cattle stealing In Custer county.

Caadldatea The Democratlo AlllaaeaSuspicions or the deed Fallh or This.

"Tammany Is coming over to usl" was thejubilant cry yesterday of members of the Dam-ocratl- o

Alliance of Greater New York. Tbeywere talking of what they considered tho elevtcnth-hou- r conversion ot Tammany Hall to "thocauso of tbo people," as represented In tho Chi-cago platform and In the plank of tho Allianceplatform which demands municipal ownershipand operation of public, especially streot rail-

road, franchises.Loaders of tho Alliance said that they had re-

ceived a letter from Leader Sboehan of Tam-many Hall requesting them to submit their IdeasIn platform shape to tbs Tammany Hall Com-mltto- o

on Resolutions nnd Correspondence. Theysaid that Mr. Sheehan's letter asked them, In

tho CSlcago platform, to dwoll particu-larly on tho plank.He suggested, too, a stong plank on municipalownership and operation of pubtio franchises.No reference was mado to tho Incotno tax In thisletter and tho Idea seemed to bo conveyed thatIt would be just as well not to star the frcosilver plank. As tbe Alliance-- leaders aro notInsisting on tbe 10 to 1 plank they were not dis-

turbed by Mr. Sheehan's shyness on this point,they said. Thoy added further that Mr. Shee-

han promised In his letter that Tammany-woul- d

nominate Bryan men for candidates who will beacccplablo to the Alliance.

The Joy of the Alliance men was somewhatdampened when they loarned that LeaderBheehan had anticipated them In circulatingthe news, and had got his private secretary,Thomas F, Smith, to set afloat a rumor ot whathe had done. This circumstance arousedtheir suspicions, and tbey asked If Mr.Sheehan was not preparing a trap forthem. Tbelr first thought was that thoannouncement that Henry George wouldrun for Mayor If Tammany did not stand by thoplatform had frightened tbe Tiger and forcedtbe concessions from mt. Sheehan, which he In-

timated In his letter might be made. The desireot the Tammany leader to publish tbe fact thatbe had assumed this attitude, however, sug-gested trickery, and they began to ask questionsof themselves and to devise means for defenceif an ambush is intended.

The first question suggested was, " What doesMr. Sheehan actually promise I" An examina-tion of tbe letter revealed tbe fact that his onlypositive promise was tho nomination of Bryanmen for candidates. Ho merely requested thatsome radical platform suggestions ho sent tothe Committee on Resolutions. There wasno promise that tbey wontd bo adopted.Further than that ft was suggested totheir suspicious minds that tbe TammanyCommittee on Resolutions lsonly a county org

and has nothing to dn with the CityConvention. Was It not possible that Mr. Shee-han wanted to reaffirm the Chicago platformand declare for municipal ownership In theCounty Convention I Those Issues would maken fine platform for candidates for CountyClerk, Register, and Sheriff to stand on,but if the City Convention does notadopt such a nlatforro, whoro will tho candidatofor Mayor stand I Tho candidate for Mayor Istheonethnllryanltes Reek to bind. This ideathat Mr. Shcehan is trying to satisfy then witha county plntform grew on them when tbeylooked back at the record of recent events, andsaw that tho Democratic organizations Invarious counties throughout the State had reaf-firmed the principles of the Chicago platformwhile tho Stato organization had repudiated

" "them.These suspicions decided the Alliance men to

be on their guard against possible treachery.Tbey will embody their Ideas of a platform Inwriting and send It to Mr. Sheehan's committeeas requested, but tbey will Insist that the plat-form bel adopted by the City Convention, and.above all else. thaithecandldateforMayorsballstand squarely on It and live up to It If elected.They said also that thuy could not trnst a can-didate who Is purely a Tammany machineman. Tbey do not want a platform of emptyfiromises and n Mayor who will not be bound bysy they are satisfied that tho fran-chise holders who are backing Tammany Halfinancially would be content with any oldthing In the way of a platform, provided thecandidate for Mayor, if elected, will notbe bound by It. but will look aftertheir interests. Tbey say that in the Land ofCockayne, where the roasted ducks fir nhout,crying, "Come eat me," these franchise hold-ers would bo sure to stand by a platform ofmunicipal ownership and operation of fran-chises; but that It may not be so In NewYork. So they declare that they will not bo sat-isfied with a platform alone, but that Tammanymust nominate a candidate for Mayor who Isabove suspicion of being a friend or tbe franchis-

e-holding corporations.It was said yesterday tnat Mr, Sheehan deals

with the Democratic Alliance really in tbe hopoof exasperating the other factian of thn Bryan-H- e

forces represented In tbo United Democracywith the hope of making n permanent breachand preventing the Dosslbllltr of a union onHenry George or any other strong Bryan candi-date for Mayor. If ho should bo sucrccssful Inthis, it is said to be qnite likely that he willkeep the Alliance on tbe tenter hooka until tbelast moment, and then, if it suits his purpose,throw them overboard when it Is too late forthem to do any effective work in the way ofnominating an opposition ticket.

The Alliance leaders say lliey will provideagainst such an emergency and have their peti-tions rcsdy for the nomination of a full ticket IfTammany Hall procrastinates.

More Sohmer boomers called atTammany Hallyesterday. The leaders are tiring of them, andhinted that Sohmer will he lucky if he Is re-nominated for Register. After this suggestionhis Mayoralty boom will probably coIIsdso.

Richard Croker has importuned Mayor Carternarrlson of Chicago to rome to Now York lateIn October and speak at Cooper Union for Tam-many. Mayor Carter has finally agreed to come.

"Well. I don't know about this. I am not unIn tbeso art matters. You bad better see ParkCommissioner Dettmar."

ilr. Hacker subsequently had an Interviewwith Mr. Dettmar, und, after showing him tbs

Mr. Dettmar also seems to have got a shock."It looks," ho said, "as If theae peoplo in the

SIEXICO'B FORMER CHIEF OF POm wR t

LICE BHOT BY HIS OWX HAXD. AMliPound Dead In the Jail ta Which lie Wad ,F4Taken After Conrrstlnr the Assassination H for Arroyo o Etptanatlon or Ills Deed, but fflnemorse Probably tho Cause Who .Vest! !

Citt op Mexico, Sept. 21,-C- ol. Edtmrdo $M fVelasqucr, former Intpcctor-Gencra- l of Police, SIbbI '

shot himself dead this morning nt Iltlem. Blncd ISbbmuhis committal to Bclcm on Inst Saturday aft or-- jIHl 'noon Vclnsquez had been confined in tho prl vHvnto npnrtmcnts of Warden Cnmpusano. The mWjWarden placed him there becnuso he feared , KWasomo personal vlolonco toward the prisoner mHrfrom tho other inmates, who havo grudges, vK .more or loss pronouhcod, against nil the higher 'I'Mpolico ofilclnls. jijH j

On Inst Tuesday Velasquez confessed tint he ilH' 'had directed tbo murder of Arroyo, President 'HDiaz's assailant, and bIiico then Judge Florei ItfaVof tho Fifth Criminal Court bos been pressing HS'tho Investigation very diligently. Whether the I'Bprisoner realized that tho penalty for his crimecould bo capital punishment or ho was moved bbb1by penllenco and despair cannot bo known. iiBBB

Tho suicldo was committed with no wit flRncsscs. When UicCJall attendant went to Velas-- f.$Mqucz's room at nbout 10 o'clock this forenoon ''Hiho was dead, lying on tho bed. Close by hint flilay a small derringer with ono cartridge ex- - TaK''plodod and the other still in;tho chamber. From raHtho position in which Velasquez was found it 4921was ovidont that ho hod placed the muzzle to ''TbbbIhis right temple and fired. The second shotwas not necessary. In view ot the expression !bbHof tho faco and tho rigidity of tho body death 4bbb1appeared to have been instantaneous. 'laafl

When tho body was first found the extreml- - tiaHltlos were cold, but there was still some heat JftWlabout tho stomach. Tbe shooting must havo AbBioccurred six or eight hours before, at any r&te) fBBt'ibetween midnight and dawn. It any messaga kAbHwere left by tho suicide It is in the custody of 5iB!ithe court. In fact, tho police regulations in qbH!the olllco at Bclcm wcro more than usually $BBnHrigid this morning, and no ono was allowed bo-- - tHbind tbo gates, not even tbo attorneys for Velas. BBw4quez. How the suicldo got tho weapon Is a ?bKquestion that Is being closely investigated by "sbbIJudgo Manuel de la lloz ot tho Second Crlml-- jH ;nnl Court, to wboso jurisdiction the case was t.BBr"transferred from tho Fifth CriminalCourt. Tho weapon itself is ot the kind that ,?H'Vis carried by tho lending police authorities, so SbB'- -tho report says. Col. Velasquez was known tohavo one. Wnrdcn Campuenno and Got. He-- SWtbollnr and other high officials carry them. It rcBBl''Is believed nt Bclcm that Velasquez sent forhis own pistol yesterday, but nothing is known ',mBnpositively on this point. At about 10:30 A'aBBo'clock Judge de la ilor and tho clerk of tho ''HbbUSecond Criminal Court went over to tho Al-- 'sBli-cnlda in Bclem to tnko declarations, and the) VbB'clerks ot tho court could not give any partlcu- - 4bbIlars beyond tho fact that Velasquez was founddead as nbovo stated. i'Bftj

Au examination is in progress to establish bbb1how, why nnd when tho was no- - uaBBBcomplisbcd nnd by what means a closelyguarded primmer like Vclnsquez, for whom , .IhbvJBpccial care was presumed to hare been otj 'kmbiItiered, could havo obtained a weapon and killer' Ibbihimself tn tho cry bedroom of the Warden, '!within tbo deep walls of Bclcm, and not a, hint ibbWof tho suicldo hat a reached tho jail authorities .bbbIuntil hours later: - -- - - - "" aaV

Col. Campusano. tho Governor of the prison, riJBBnahas been placed ineomuntcado, nnd will boexamined by tho courts. No ono presumes jJaBH'-

that bo Is in nny way responsible for this lastnet In thn Arroyo tmucdv, but It seems ineom- - fHlprehenslblo that such a suicide could have u'bbhStaken plnco in his own apartments without bbm1being discovered nt once. ' 'eB--

Tho taking of his own life by tho ot H- -

Pollce has caused a tremendous sensation In "vBBH'tho city. Tho general opinion Is that, under TisHHtbo circumstances, it was tho best thing he 2bbV'could do.
