PLENTY OF GOOD AMERICAN JOCKEYS- A LIVELY SEASON PROMISED. The question, has arisen what, with so many of the American Jockeys going abroad for the coming season, would the American turf do for good riders? This controversy seems to be bothering the novices rather more than the horse owners them- selves. Good jockeys spring up In this country with remarkable frequency, and, while many of the best known riders will be seen In the saddle In England. France. Germany. Russia and Austria next season. it is the general opinion that enough clever riders willbe left to do racing In this country full Justice. Then there are those who will be rather glad than otherwise that some of the Jockeys will not ride In "his country this year. "Danny" Maher has already sailed tor t.nglami. and will ride the horses of King Edward VII. it is also said that Tod Sloan will he granted a license on the English turf for the coming season, and that he will ride for the King. Nash Turner and Henry Spencer, the latter known as the "Iceman." will ride for James R. Keene In England, and a strong pair they will make. "Clem" Jenkins and "Skeets" Martin will also ride In England this year Among some of the well known Jockeys who will rfr'.e In France are "Johnny" Relff. Milton Henry. Mclntyre. Thorp »nd Bechannon. Fred Tarn.', the "Dutchman" and Van Duzen are among those who will pilot thoroughbreds In Austria. "Cash" Sloan. Plggott Vltitoe. Mitchell and Hamilton will ride in Russia. Just what Lester Reiff will do cannot be de- termined nt this time, although It Is the opinion in some quarters that he will remain on the ground this year. Friends of O'Connor. Burns and Shaw say that the premier honors in this country will be" between these three riders In the season which la rapidly approaching. THE RACETRACK. PROGRAMME OF SPORTS TO-DAY.

"Protection for Sugar Growers We condemn the present administration for not keeping faith with the sugar producers Of this country The Republican party favors such protection as will lead to the production on American soil of all the eugar which the American people use, and for wiuch :iey pay other countries more than II" •• \u25a0• annually." And the following from the national Republican piatform of 1900: "We favor the associated pollsy of reciprocity, so directed as to open our markets on favorable terms for what do nnt ourselves produce, in return tor free foreign markets." This is the Republican Club. Its charter obliga- tion si "to advocate, promote and maintain the prinar es of R. 1 ul .. anisra as enunciated by the Republican party." For it to encourage, or fail to condemn, any measure calculated to overthrow or weaken the policy of protection, which Is the chlefest principle of Republicanism, would be an act of forfeiture, exposing It to dissolution. C. C SHAYNE APPEALS FOR CUBA. C. C. Shayne was the first speaker after the re- port was read. He declared that the club could not go on record aa opposed CO justice to Cuba. The American people," he said, wanted fair play, and he suggested that "there might be a nigger In the fence. ' "Are men who are Interested in the prod- ucts of Porto Rico opposing the reduction of the Cuban tariff V he asked. Mr. Humphrey spoKi- in favor ofhia resolution. He was followed by sir. Thuroer. who said that he had made a study of the situation, and that Cuba, un- der favoraaie conditions, afforded large markets for American agricultural and manufacturing indus- tries. He said that men who had their money in- v«*ied in other tkinKa than sugar and tobacco were Interested in tne question. He said that Cuba woui.l reduce her tariff on American products and America should reduce her tariff on Cuban prod- ucts. The tariff, he declared, could be reduced SO per cent, and still American beet growers wouid thrive. "The outy of the Republican Club, " said on- troller Treaj. "is simply to sustain Its accredited and well chosen representatives and stand for the l»est interests of the party. Although protection haa t«*iour policy, no one will say that we should never change our policies. Why is It that, when a little act of Justice in planned, a fair trade, not a free trade, ther" is apprehension and alarm? The Republicans must not be divided." Wilbur F. Wakeman ;isserte'i that the sugar of Cuba was to-day in the hands of speculators of England and America and Spanish bankers. Afleibert H. Steele spoke against the reduction B the tariff, and he waa supported by F. M Clark, who said that he had made an eight weeks' trip through Cuba, and was familiar with th.- condi- tions there. Th- members leeaaed to be about equally divided on the question at issue, but it was the sentiment that no action should be taken by the club until Congress had reached a decision. question In hand, are clearly set forth In the fol- lowing extract from the platform of the party adopted at St. Louis, on June 18, 1896, referring to thft Cleveland administration: Eight games, all »>ut of town, have so far been ar- ranged In the schedule of the Columbia baseball team. Ithas been Impossible to arrange any home) games yet. a> there Is no chance of getting &base- ball diamond in New- York until the present squab- ble in professional baseball Is over and the Na- tional League schedule arranged. When that Is .•one it is expected that the local matches may bat decided. COLUMBIA NOTES. Gustav Li" 1 :?", head gymnastic instructor at Co- lumbta University, yesterdiy had a rib broken and the ligaments on two other libs torn off while wrestling in the gymnasium. He was engaged In. competition with William P. Boyd. heavyweight champion wrestler of the university. Owing to the fact that four years ago Edward B. Bruce, of the Columbia football »m. put the shot against Cornell, he will be unable to represent tho Blue and White on the gridiron next fall, hough he has played football but three years. This dis- qualification Is caused by the workings of the well known four year rule. Bruce, however, will be aol« to engage in athletics up to the -nil of June, aa not till then are his four years completed. Nash. of the crew, also is debarred for the same reason, but his disqualification takes place Immediately. Besides being enable to row, Nash will also be un- able to play golf. PRINCETON VS. HEFFLEY. The Princeton hockey team will play the Hetßer School team on next Wednesday evening at th* Clermont Avenue Rink. Both teams are playing In good form at the present --.me, and an excltina; game is looked for. INTERCOLLEGIATE HOCKEY. The next championship hockey match under that auspice* of the Intercollegiuze Hocsey League will take place at the St. Nicholas Rfci thia evening at S:ls o'clock between the teams representing Brown, and Columbia universities. Columbia has shown some improvement since her last appearance m a> championship match, as was evinced by her defeat of the Brooklyn Skatins Club last week. The> Brown team has been steadily practising on the ponds in and about Provideiue. and willcoma down with its full strength. JOHN W. FARLEY THE NEW HKAH FOOTBALL COACH AT HARVARD. The selection of John W. Farley ds the head football coach at Harvard for this year seems •\u25a0 have given general satisfaction. Farley will suc- ceed "Bill" Reid, whose splendid work last year brought out such acceptable results at Cambridge) and who was himself one of the best all around ath- letes in the country. Farley, Harvard. '». was a member of Dibble*'* winning team of he previous year. Farley had agreed to coach the University of Maine athletes this year, but secured his release before he accept- ed Harvard's proposition. "Mika" Farley, aa the* new head coach had always been called. Is still a, student in the Law School at Cambridge, ana ha possesses "he same personal magnetism which al- ways characterized Reid in all of his athletic work. Farley is a Boston man. and was graduated from the Roxbury Latin School. At that place he was Identified with all branches of sport and became well known as a football and hockey player. It is said that "he selection of Farley at Harvard means) that Reid's successful policy will be followed, and that the same graduates will be found assisting Farley as helped Reid last year. TIGERS' BASEBALL PRACTICE. Princeton, N. J.. Feb. 14 (Special).— Old Nas- sau's" baseball activities were begun here to-day a when upward if fifty of the member of the fresh- man class were '-ailed am .>r p'a^tl-e at the Selct house. Cap til n Steli.wender and Trainer Robhaaaat were in charge of the candidates, and seat them through a sixty minute drill in nicking up ground- era and running around the "age. It is expected tha' Coach Clarke, of the Wash- ington team, will arrive In r f«-w days and look: after the playeri. The randliiates Irom the three upper classes will be called out either or Saturday or Monday. COLLEGE SPORTS. SPALDING STILL CONFIDENT OF VIC- TORY OVER FREEPMAN AND BRUSH. Immediately after the conference of the "Snald- Ing Four" at Plttsburg on 3aturday a telegraai was) sent to A. G. Spaldlng apprising him of the dt&ad taken. The following Is a copy of a telegram re- ceived from Mr. Snaldlns. dated February M: From Information received I construe the action of the "Loyal Four" membeis of the National League at their conference at Pfttsbtirg- yesterday as reiterating and reaffirming their allegiance to the principle underlying the baseball controversy, an Indorsement of the campaign conducted to date, and a determination not to dodge the real tasasi by sacrificing principle to expediency, arhlch ac- tion must be approved by ah those .ho have the best Interest of the national game it heart. It Is a good omen for the future of the National League that "Freedmanlsm" and "Brushism" re- ceived their death blow at PUtsburs un Washing- ton Birthday.

The elimination of •'Freedman-Brashism" from professional baseball -»s a matter of prtncrpte) marks a new epoch In the sport, and will go down In baseball hist along with and equally as Im- portant as the memorable action of th« old Na- tional League back In 1878. when the game was rescued from the gamblers and pool selling waa abolished. The results of this victory will tend la future to cause those who would aspire to legislate for a nation's sport to realize what true sports- manship is. to more fully appreciate the trust Ira-* posed and to guard more carefully their own In- dividual baseball records. While the ' loyal four" are tc be congratulated on their stand 1 id fight lor principle, vet public opinion, which has been so ably and unanimously voiced by the press of the) country, is entitled to the greater share of credit for the elimination of "Freedman-Brushlsm" from our national game.

ER \<>T WITH THE CENTRAL. ENGTNEER OF HARLEM TRAIN IN TUNNEL COLLISION DROPPED FROM ROLLS. It was learned yesterday that John M. Wis- ker, the locomotive engineer whose train crashed Into another In the Park-aye. tunnel with such terrlbie result on January I, is no longer em- Ployed by the New-York Central road. It is Mid that he was dropped from the payroll about two weeks ago, and is now living in a retired Quarter of the city, and seeking work. When the coroner's inquest over the disaster was be- Iss held, C. C. Paulding, counsel for the road. *as outspoken in his declaration that Wlsker *"ould receive a life job from the Central man- *rement. and that he would not be obliged to *rtve an engine again, but would have easy *'ork either in the yards about the Grand Cen- tral Station or in the Mott Haven yards. Inquiry about Wlsker yestorday at the Grand Central Station brought forth more exercise tha^i information. A Tribune reporter was first referred to the aster's office. At the pay- Eia.*i*-r'a ofHce nothing was known about the en*ine<-r; one would have to s»»e the man next door. The man next door had charge of the claims nn the Harlem division, and knew noth- ing about it. The porter would have to see the station manager, downstairs. The station manager downstairs had nothing to do with «rop!oying or discharging men. Really, the only place where one could find out whether Wisker *as still employed was the office of the superin- tendent of the Harlem division at White Plains. J. B. LEE TO MANAGE IT. J. B.

A MOVE THAT MAY TEST A NEW ALLIANCE -NEWS FROM PEKING. Peking, F<»b. 24.— The news from Japanese sources that Russia is trying to obtain a port In COl has been received with a great deal of Interest, but sceptically, because. If true. It might teat the efficacy of the Anglo-Japanese alliance .13 a barrier to Russian expansion. Favorable effects of the alliance. In giving con- fidence and stability to business ventures In Northern China, are already noticeable. The court continues to manifest a friendly disposition toward foreigners and foreign enter- prises. One of the practical evidences of this spirit is the permission accorded to the Tien- Tsln-Pao-Tlng-Fu Railroad to establish sta- tions at the Chlen Gate, close to the Chinese city Still, the Chinese reformers declare their disbelief in the permanency of th* reforms. They point out that the chief eunuch, who Is hopelessly corrupt, 13 still the Empress Dow- ager's most Influential adviser, and also insist that many punishments demanded In the proto- col, which the authorities declare they have carried out, have not been inflicted, but that the official*. Instead of being beheaded, have been transferred to more desirable, lucrative posts In distant parts of the empire. Russia declares, continues the correspondent, that .she will not restore the -Shan-Haikwan- New-Chwang Railway or the civil government of New-Chwang until the foreign administra- tion of Tien-Tsin ceases.

CONDITIONS BAD I\ M tS'^HJ'RI i HE IS DOING HIS WORK BY SCHEDULE, DESPITE MANY REQUESTS. j Commissioner Woodbury of the Street Cleaning ; Department says that he is well satisfied with the I work of clearing the streets of snow. He is con- \u25a0 fident that within three or four days all the prin- icipal business thoroughfares will be In good con- , dition, and In addition a number of the side streets 1 leading to the rivers. : "I think that a good deal of credit is due to ! Snow Inspector Clarke." he said. "He has re- mained in his office night and day since last Mon- day, directing the work by telephone throughout the city. 1 took occasion to visit Mr. Clarke yes- terday and complimented mm for his efficiency and attention to duty. "We have done our work according to schedule, : notwithstanding the requests that have come to j us from hundreds of householders that their streets j be cleared first. Every householder. It appears to I me, thinks that his street should receive our at- | tention first. That, of course, la Impossible. Pee- ; pie don't understand the Immense task we have j had to cope with. There have been three snow- | storms, and when we had goi well started on the j first, along came the second and the third, which I was, however, only a covering of sleet, to undo our j work. "If householders would pay some attention to getting their gutters cleared It would be of im- mense assistance to us. ; went ove- to Brooklyn early last week, and walked right Into Police Headquarters. I told them how necessary It was to have gutters cleared, and at I o'clock that day a general order went out from Headquarters to all | the captains, and a short while after the police- ! men were ringing doorbells throughout the borough. i The result Is that the sewers in Brooklyn have j been performing their work. Here in Manhattan j we have had a great contrast. I have kept the wires hot trying to gat the police to enforce the ordinance requiring the clearing of gutters, but without avail." Snow Inspector Clarke expects that Manhattan Island will be. fairly cleared of snow by Saturday night, providing there is not an additional fall In the week. He had more than six thousand la- borers at work in Manhattan yesterday, and he I said they were doing good work. From 3 a. m. on Sunday t0 .3 a. m. yesterday the number of loads carted was as follows: Manhattan— Contractors. 37.905; extra hired carts, j.;i»., railroads. 11.031; The | Bronx— Contractors. 4,497. Brooklyn— Contractors. , 13,770. making the total number of loads. 77.038. The contractors started yesterday morning at a number : of important point?, as follows: Eighth-aye.. work- ing northward from One-hundred-and-tenth-st.; Thlrd-ave.. northward from Cooper Union; Fourth- ave.. northward from Astor Place; Stanton-«t.. Sulllvan-st., Maodougal-st., Second-st.. Slxth-ave.. I-exiugton-av.-.. Madlson-ave. and Twenty-thlrd-st. Broadway and Flfth-ave., in ling to Mr. Clarke, are veil polished, ard Park How. the Bowery and i Thlrd-ave.. from the Postotnce to Twentleth-at., are also cleared. About five gangs ara now working in Thlrd-ave. clearing up to One-hundred-and-thlr- tieth-st., where they expect to finish up to-day. This rtriD alone covers about eight and a half ; miles of territory. About thirty-six different points in the city have been cleared for the reception of Prince Henry. j 'We don I want his royal feet to cet wet." said Mr. Clarke. "1 think \u25a0».• will have the main thor- | oughfar-a in fair shape by Wednesday, and many of the cross streets to the rivers done by Saturday, i How lonit it will take to clear away the last j vestige of the storm will depend altogether on tho ; state of the weather If It freezes. it will cold i storage the snow, which is a very bad business. | This thing means a good many thousands of dol- lars to the taxpayer*, and we ye got to think of I that. We must lie merry and wise The telegraph companies have suffered severely from the storm. According to the superintendent j of the Western Union, wnlle the storm did not ;cover such a great area as some storms In former years, it was intlnltely more destructive.

Although most of the trouble la near me, the work of repairing it has moved rather slowly. "We have only a limited number of wire* now, but we shall begin to gain wires to-night and to- morrow," he said. "While we probably won't be in our normal condition for .1 week, we shall improve every Jay. We reach all Eastern points and are in fairly good shape to the West.

"1 have been unable to get Jobs for the poor men In my district." he declared. "They asked to be lowed to remove snow and were told that they were not needed. I appealed for them, but received the same answer. Not long afterward Thomas J. Dunn, the Tam- many leader of my district, whom 1 whipped last election to the tune of one hundred and seventy-five votes, got forty men Jobs removing snow. Where did he get his pull? From the Street Commissioner. That's what makes me think WoodtMMry is more Tammany than Fuslonist." WILL yOT APPOINT THIS WEEK.

Conn., Feb. 21.— The consolidation of the hardware manufacturing firms of P. & F. Corbln and the Russell & Erwln Manufacturing Company, of New-Britain. Is said to be almost an accomplished tact th« preliminaries having been agreed upon. Philip Corbln will be president of the new company, which will be named th« American Hardware Company* Praise is dry rending. People are stirred when some one Is attacked. They are not deeply Inter- ested in panegyrics. It !a not by praise of Indi- viduals that circulation of newspapers Is secured, and papers must have circulation to secure adver- tising, which ii«. as Iunderstand It. their -•\u25a0 i. source of revenue. I am averse to a man singing his own praises, I have thought It better to maintain silence. If a man by quietly submitting to newspaper ridicule or aspersions thereby adds to the gayety of nations. why, he li m far a benefactor to his kind. Of course, if the attacks wen Just or founded on facts, a man might not then remain silent. He would seek to justify himself. That also Is human nature But unjust attacks really hurt no one. The public may be Influenced and deceived for a time, tout sooner or later th*- people wilt come to their Menses ami see the matter in Its true light. The power of the press for good or bad la great. All admit that. But the power of the press cannot permanently Injure an honest, upright man who tries to do his duty as he sees it. It think it much better to be Bilent in such cases and let the people Judge, de- cide and on sober second thought they will decide right. "Do you think Tammany will come back to power?" Mr. Van Wyck was asked. "Most assuredly I do," was the ready reply. "Tammany Is and has been in the main a force for good, or It would not have endured so long. But there Is now no such thing as a Tammany party. It is the Democratic party. These special out- bursts of reform which take place every now and then are instituted simply to gain the offices. It was so In the last election.

Oscar Hammersteln was placed under arrest yes- terday while sitting In his ottlce in the Victoria Theatre, by Deputy Sheriff Philip Kauss, of West- chester County, who handed him a paper signed by Justice Maddox. demanding Mr. Hammersteln's presence In White Plains. He and the Deputy Sheriff proceeded at once to White Plains, where Mr. Hammersteln wan taken before the Justice. He was allowed to return to the city on his promise to appenr In court to-day at 10 a. m. The cuse of the arrest was Mr. Hammei failure to comply with a aubp<ena from the Su- preme Court, which commanded htm to appear before Justice Maddux as a witness In the suit of Rose Sleferd against Maurice Neyer. which was set for trial on February 3 at White Plains. Th. case \u25a0whs postponed as the result of Mr. Hammersteln's failure to appear. Raymond C.

Many of you who were born in older coun- tries will doubtless remember the respect with which you were taught to treat the old and help- less. A short time age I saw ,i young man ap- proach a very old lady to greet her. The aged woman was seated, but as the young man ap- proached she attempted with her feeble strength to arise to welcome. Gently, with one hand, the young man pushed her back Into her seat, and then with grace and feeling raised her withered band to his lips and imprinted a kiss on it. Ah: 1 thought. If there was more of that old fashioned knlirtitly courtesy of old nowadays. \u25a0\u25a0Then, too, frequently we notice In our daily lives a license that amounts to vulgarity. A short time ago I was returning to this city from Wash- ington. In the parlor car, in the two opposite seals to me. were a man and woman, apparently man and wife least I came to the conclusion that they were, for certainly no man would treat any woman other than his wife In so rude a manner as he. The man was addicted to the use of tobacco, and the car wuh not a smoking car. so be was pre- cluded from indulging his desire for the weed. And an he stuck a cigar in his mouth and chewed on It for a full two lours of the journey. My friends. ! will tell you that It was a very great re- straint for me to stop from rising In my MS and boxing that man's ears."' The bishop paid his respects to the Inartistic dress of women and men. "Isay to you that when you apeak of manners, dress and voice you speak of the Instrumentalities through which character expressses itself," he said. 'There are two stand- ards of life -ii legal standard and a noble standard They are not the same. You may go through life and not offend the law. and yet offend all lofty Ideals." MAN HAYING "DRY" SMOKE AROUSED DR. POTTER'S IRE-HE RELATES AN ANECDOTE ill' THACKERAY. Bishop Potter lectured last night In the Temple Rodulph Sholum. his subject being "Youth and Its Opportunities." at an entertainment of the Young Men's and Women's Culture Society of the temple. "I remember when I .v.is a boy thirteen years old." he said, "that I was invited to attend a. lect- ure delivered hy Thackeray In my home town. Phil- adelphia After the lecture the hostess went to Mr. Thackeray and said. 'Mr. Thackeray. I want to present you to »ome '>furf >>ur Philadelphia young ladles.' at the same taking him over to a corner where a number of young women were congregated. Mr. Thackeray looked at then-, in his peculiar, em- barraaaed way—for he was of an exceedingly mod- est, retiring disposition— and with hesitation In face and voice said: 'Young ladies, what can I nuy to you?' and then, struck by in idea, he added, "Happy you. my young friend, whose Is a pliant mind." The truism uttered -her.- ly Thackeray is some- thing you should not forget. Remember that youth Is the time to learn, and that the task which now la easy of accomplishment, will soon become per- haps in Impossible one." He devoted much of his discourse to an appeal for better manners. He spoke particularly of the harsh voices of many Americans, anil said that oftentimes when travelling in Europe, if he heard a particularly harsh, strident voice, he would turn, half fearing that the owner of the voice must be an American. BISHOP WAXTED TO BOX EARS BROOKLYN CROWD PUSHES MAN OFF THE PLATFORM— ENGINE RUNS OVER HIM. William Beyer, a driver for a large manufactur- ing concern, was pushed off the Brldge-st. plat- form of the Brooklyn L'nl'jn Elevated Railroad, at Br,ldge-«t. and Myrtle-aye.. last night at 8 o'clock, and was instantly killed by being run over by a train. About three hundred persona had collected on the platform because of a delay In the trains. caused by the collision at the bridge in which a car was broken In two. Beyer was waiting for a Flfth-ave. train and was leaning far over the tracks to see if It were coming. Just as an East New- York train, drawn by engine No. 93. came Into the station Beyer was pushed off the platform and fell on the track. William J. Farrell. of No. 23 Pros- pect Place. Jamaica, the engineer of the train, jammed on the brakes so hard that the persons standing in the train were thrown to the floor. The train wan not stopped in tune, however, and the engine ran over Beyer. When the unfortunate man was lifted to the plat- form he was dead, and mangled almost beyond recognition. His body was taken to the Adams-st. station, and later removed to his horn.*. The accident caused almost a panic among the propie on the platform. Two women, who gave the names of Mrs. In*«-rsoll and Mrs. (lose Lamb, of Coney Island, fainted. An ambulance surgeon from the Brooklyn Hospital, who had been sent for to attend Beyer, revived the women. The accident caused a further block on -he elevated lines of more than half an hour. i-'ir-ei] the engineer, was arrested on a Charge of homicide. KILLED IN ELEVATED JAM. A motor train of three cars, which was to be laid up for the night, was taken by Robert Goff. a yardman, who started to run It out of the terminal Into the yard. Immediately following It was another motor train of three cars. in charge of William Clayton, of No. SSB Slxteenth-st.. Brooklyn, motorman. and Charles Burman, of No 522 Vanderbllt-ave.. Brooklyn, conductor. This train was to make another trip over the bridge. It had discharged Its passengers and been run into the yard, and was being backed down onto the north roadway of the terminal. The yards are slightly above the level of the tracks in the terminal, and when the drawbar between the motor car and the next car of the train which was being laid up by Goff, broke the two last cars began running back toward the terminal. The other train had not cleared the frog leading to the north roadway, when the runaway cars struck the centre of the last car and jammed it with terrific force against one of the iron supports of the roof. The side of the car was crushed In like so much paper, and splinters and wreckage covered the tracks on all sides. The car which struck the other was also badly broken. Both the conductor and the motorxnan of the train which was struck were in the front car, and were not badly hurt, though they were thrown down. As the accident occurred on the switch, through traffic over the bridge had to be sus- pended. It being Impossible to switch the cars from the south to the north roadway. A buffalo car was put in commission, and ran back and forth over the north roadway, hut it could not accommodate one-tenth of the traffic. Tickets were sold for the bridge trains in Manhattan for some time after the service was suspended, and a terrible jam occurred on the platforms there. Finally the passengers were Informed of the trouble, and went downstairs and took the trolley cars. COLLISION AT BROOKLYN END STOPS TRAFFIC FOB THREE HOURS- NO ONE HURT. All of the Brooklyn Brldce trains wer*> tied up last night Just before 7 o'clock by a collision between two trains which were switching; in the yard Juat beyond the platforms at the Brooklyn terminal. Luckily, neither train had any pas- sengers, as the force of the collision Jammed one of the oars up against a piHar supporting the roof of the terminal, and broke the car com- pletely in two. The tracks were blocked, so that traffic was not resumed again for more than three hours.

He spoke in part as follows: "Fundamental factors in their development are ; unquestionably imitation, suggestion and the con- \ tagion inherent in social excitements.

He aram arrested in Chicago and application made under out treaty with Prussia of I^~>'J. for extradition for an offence committed in Prussia.

Feb. 24.-The Slater-Bennet bill, which prohibits the shooting of pigeons from traps, passed the Assembly to-night, and now awaits the Gov- eernor'a signature to become a law. The bill passed by a vote of 119 ayes and 9 noes, and to the surprise of many there was no debate. The members who voted against the bill are as follows: Assemblymen Bradley, Brooks. Doughty, J. H. Fltzpatrick. V.* P. Fitzpatrick. Mclnerney, McKeown, Robinson and Ruehl. In regard to the passage of the bill Mr. Bennet said to-night: This is the culmination of a two year fight. This measure will wipe out a licensed form of barbarism It Is not necessary to tell of the cruelties which have been perpetrated under the section of the law which this bill repeals. All that has been brought out again and again at the different hearings. A member of the Assembly Fish and Game Com- mittee, in which the bill lay 'or more than a month without action until after the hill had passed the Senate, said to-night: 1 understand on the best of authority that the summary action of the Assembly In passing the bill la the result, more or less, of the interest which Senator Tlatt has taken in the bill. The Senator informed the Republican leaden that the bill was a good one and ought to pass. When the Senator's position became known the bill came out of com- mittee without delay, and it was passed to-night with such alacrity that the opposition had a chance to be heard only on the rollcall. After a discussion lasting two and a half hours ibt social meeting of the Republican Club, at No! 430 FlftJi- av<a -- last night, called to act upon reso- lutions Introduced at the meeting last Tuesday «veninß concerning the Cuban tariff situation, was a^ourr.ed. the original resolution, a substitute and an amra<imcnt having been laid on the table. The jfPoi'Jtion. which was introduced by Andrew B. Haaphrey. urged that if Congress decided to aid Cuba, a bounty or gratuity should be paid out of t he funds of the Treasury, and the tariff left un- chanped. The committee on national affairs, which had pondered the question since the last meeting, sub- mitted a long report indorsing the resolution. This rffpon ni received. Francis. B. Thur:.er then of- fered a substitute resolution, which declared, in e utwtanc.\ that the club was ready to follow the leai \u25a0* President Roosevelt and Secretary Root. Mr. Humphrey! followed with an amendment to ' thif substitute, in which he Incorporated all that he had in his original resolution, with some addi- tixss. When a vote was called tor, it was found tbtt the mating was in a hopeless Parliamentary ajaal fr^m which it was with difficulty extricated by «-Jud*e Oleott, Congressman Leaater and other* Cfc&r!-? H. Treat, Internal Revenue Collector., then Introduced a resolution expressing the gratin- taOtm of the club that the Way* and Means Com- mittee of Congress had proposed a bill providing reciprocity with Cuba, which supported the policy of the present administration. In the discussion which fnliowed it was explained that there was no men bill before the Ways and Means (V, - m- nslttee. a:id that the resolution was out of place.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE. The report of the committee was read by Colonel Charles H. Denison, chairman. It summed up as loilows VTe think it safe to predict that no reciprocity m-Ul be adopted with Cuba, ur any other nation, that d->es not comply with the sound and rational view expressed in President Roosevelt's message, namely, such as can "safely be done without in- jury to our home industries." It being evident then that the application of the policy of reci- procity to the problem In hand is entirely Im- linifticahie. and sinc«> a reduction or rebate of duty is shown to be pernicious in practice, wrong in principle and inadequate to accomplish the ob- ject ostensibly aimed at. namely, to relieve the distress of Cuba, we see no oth«r method of giving such relief than that of a bounty extended for a brief term ot years. The people need to be fre- quentiy reminded of the value of our home market— the product of the policy of protection.

PLENTY OF GOOD AMERICAN JOCKEYS-

A LIVELY SEASON PROMISED.

The question, has arisen what, with so many ofthe American Jockeys going abroad for the coming

season, would the American turf do for good

riders? This controversy seems to be bothering thenovices rather more than the horse owners them-selves. Good jockeys spring up In this country

with remarkable frequency, and, while many ofthe best known riders will be seen In the saddle InEngland. France. Germany. Russia and Austrianext season. it is the general opinion that enough

clever riders willbe left to do racing In this country

full Justice.Then there are those who will be rather glad

than otherwise that some of the Jockeys will not

ride In "his country this year. "Danny" Maher hasalready sailed tor t.nglami. and willride the horsesof King Edward VII. it is also said that TodSloan will he granted a license on the English turffor the coming season, and that he will ride forthe King. Nash Turner and Henry Spencer, thelatter known as the "Iceman." will ride for JamesR. Keene In England, and a strong pair they willmake. "Clem" Jenkins and "Skeets" Martin willalso ride In England this year

Among some of the well known Jockeys who will

rfr'.e In France are "Johnny" Relff. Milton Henry.Mclntyre. Thorp »nd Bechannon. Fred Tarn.', the"Dutchman" and Van Duzen are among those whowillpilot thoroughbreds In Austria. "Cash" Sloan.Plggott Vltitoe. Mitchell and Hamilton will ride inRussia.

Just what Lester Reiff will do cannot be de-

termined nt this time, although ItIs the opinion insome quarters that he will remain on the groundthis year. Friends of O'Connor. Burns and Shawsay that the premier honors in this country willbe" between these three riders In the season whichla rapidly approaching.

And the following from the national Republicanpiatform of 1900:

"We favor the associated pollsy of reciprocity, sodirected as to open our markets on favorable termsfor what w« do nnt ourselves produce, in returntor free foreign markets."

This is the Republican Club. Its charter obliga-tion si "to advocate, promote and maintain theprinar es of R. 1 ul .. anisra as enunciated by theRepublican party." For it to encourage, or failto condemn, any measure calculated to overthrowor weaken the policy of protection, which Is thechlefest principle of Republicanism, would be an actof forfeiture, exposing It to dissolution.

C. C SHAYNE APPEALS FOR CUBA.C. C. Shayne was the first speaker after the re-

port was read. He declared that the club could notgo on record aa opposed CO justice to Cuba. TheAmerican people," he said, wanted fair play, andhe suggested that "there might be a nigger In thefence.

'"Are men who are Interested in the prod-

ucts of Porto Rico opposing the reduction of theCuban tariffV he asked.

Mr. Humphrey spoKi- in favor ofhia resolution. Hewas followed by sir. Thuroer. who said that he hadmade a study of the situation, and that Cuba, un-der favoraaie conditions, afforded large markets forAmerican agricultural and manufacturing indus-tries. He said that men who had their money in-v«*ied inother tkinKa than sugar and tobacco wereInterested in tne question. He said that Cubawoui.l reduce her tariff on American products andAmerica should reduce her tariff on Cuban prod-ucts. The tariff, he declared, could be reduced SOper cent, and still American beet growers wouidthrive.

"The outy of the Republican Club,"

said on-troller Treaj. "is simply to sustain Its accreditedand well chosen representatives and stand for thel»est interests of the party. Although protectionhaa t«*iour policy, no one will say that we shouldnever change our policies. Why is It that, when alittle act of Justice in planned, a fair trade, not afree trade, ther" is apprehension and alarm? TheRepublicans must not be divided."

Wilbur F. Wakeman ;isserte'i that the sugar ofCuba was to-day in the hands of speculators ofEngland and America and Spanish bankers.

Afleibert H. Steele spoke against the reductionB the tariff, and he waa supported by F. M Clark,who said that he had made an eight weeks' tripthrough Cuba, and was familiar with th.- condi-tions there.Th- members leeaaed to be about equally divided

on the question at issue, but it was the sentimentthat no action should be taken by the club untilCongress had reached a decision.

ER \<>T WITH THE CENTRAL.

ENGTNEER OF HARLEM TRAIN IN TUNNEL

COLLISION DROPPED FROM ROLLS.

It was learned yesterday that John M. Wis-ker, the locomotive engineer whose train crashedInto another In the Park-aye. tunnel with suchterrlbie result on January I, is no longer em-Ployed by the New-York Central road. It isMid that he was dropped from the payroll abouttwo weeks ago, and is now living in a retiredQuarter of the city, and seeking work. Whenthe coroner's inquest over the disaster was be-Iss held, C. C. Paulding, counsel for the road.*as outspoken in his declaration that Wlsker*"ould receive a life job from the Central man-*rement. and that he would not be obliged to*rtve an engine again, but would have easy

*'ork either in the yards about the Grand Cen-tral Station or in the Mott Haven yards.

Inquiry about Wlsker yestorday at the GrandCentral Station brought forth more exercisetha^i information. A Tribune reporter was firstreferred to the aster's office. At the pay-Eia.*i*-r'a ofHce nothing was known about theen*ine<-r; one would have to s»»e the man nextdoor. The man next door had charge of theclaims nn the Harlem division, and knew noth-ing about it. The porter would have to seethe station manager, downstairs. The stationmanager downstairs had nothing to do with«rop!oying or discharging men. Really, the onlyplace where one could find out whether Wisker*as still employed was the office of the superin-tendent of the Harlem division at White Plains.

Favorable effects of the alliance. In giving con-fidence and stability to business ventures InNorthern China, are already noticeable.

The court continues to manifest a friendly

tions at the Chlen Gate, close to the Chinesecity Still, the Chinese reformers declare theirdisbelief in the permanency of th* reforms.They point out that the chief eunuch, who Ishopelessly corrupt, 13 still the Empress Dow-ager's most Influential adviser, and also insistthat many punishments demanded In the proto-

col, which the authorities declare they havecarried out, have not been inflicted, but thatthe official*. Instead of being beheaded, havebeen transferred to more desirable, lucrativeposts Indistant parts of the empire.

HE IS DOING HIS WORK BY SCHEDULE,

DESPITE MANY REQUESTS.j Commissioner Woodbury of the Street Cleaning;Department says that he is well satisfied with theI work of clearing the streets of snow. He is con-

\u25a0 fident that within three or four days all the prin-icipal business thoroughfares willbe In good con-,dition, and In addition a number of the side streets1 leading to the rivers.: "Ithink that a good deal of credit is due to!Snow Inspector Clarke." he said. "He has re-

wires hot trying to gat the police to enforce theordinance requiring the clearing of gutters, butwithout avail."

Snow Inspector Clarke expects that ManhattanIsland will be. fairly cleared of snow by Saturdaynight, providing there is not an additional fall Inthe week. He had more than six thousand la-borers at work in Manhattan yesterday, and he

Praise is dry rending. People are stirred whensome one Is attacked. They are not deeply Inter-ested in panegyrics. It !a not by praise of Indi-viduals that circulation of newspapers Is secured,and papers must have circulation to secure adver-tising, which ii«. as Iunderstand It. their -•\u25a0 i.

a man by quietly submitting to newspaper ridiculeor aspersions thereby adds to the gayety of nations.why, he li m far a benefactor to his kind. Ofcourse, if the attacks wen Just or founded onfacts, a man might not then remain silent. Hewould seek to justify himself. That also Is humannature

But unjust attacks really hurt no one. The publicmay be Influenced and deceived for a time, toutsooner or later th*- people wilt come to their Mensesami see the matter in Its true light. The power ofthe press for good or bad la great. Alladmit that.

"Do you think Tammany will come back topower?" Mr. Van Wyck was asked.

"Most assuredly Ido," was the ready reply."Tammany Is and has been in the main a force forgood, or It would not have endured so long. Butthere Is now no such thing as a Tammany party.It is the Democratic party. These special out-

bursts of reform which take place every now andthen are instituted simply to gain the offices. Itwas so In the last election.

Mr. Thackeray and said. 'Mr. Thackeray. Iwant to

Mr. Thackeray looked at then-, in his peculiar, em-barraaaed way—for he was of an exceedingly mod-est, retiring disposition— and with hesitation In face

and voice said: 'Young ladies, what can Inuy to

you?' and then, struck by in idea, he added, "Happyyou. my young friend, whose Is a pliant mind."The truism uttered -her.- ly Thackeray is some-thing you should not forget. Remember that youth

BISHOP WAXTED TOBOX EARS

BROOKLYN CROWD PUSHES MAN OFF

THE PLATFORM—ENGINE RUNS

OVER HIM.

William Beyer, a driver for a large manufactur-ing concern, was pushed off the Brldge-st. plat-

form of the Brooklyn L'nl'jnElevated Railroad, atBr,ldge-«t. and Myrtle-aye.. last night at 8 o'clock,

and was instantly killed by being run over by atrain.

About three hundred persona had collected onthe platform because of a delay In the trains.caused by the collision at the bridge in which acar was broken In two. Beyer was waiting for aFlfth-ave. train and was leaning far over the tracksto see if It were coming. Just as an East New-York train, drawn by engine No. 93. came Into thestation Beyer was pushed off the platform and fellon the track. William J. Farrell. of No. 23 Pros-pect Place. Jamaica, the engineer of the train,jammed on the brakes so hard that the personsstanding in the train were thrown to the floor. Thetrain wan not stopped in tune, however, and theengine ran over Beyer.

When the unfortunate man was lifted to the plat-form he was dead, and mangled almost beyondrecognition. His body was taken to the Adams-st.station, and later removed to his horn.*.

The accident caused almost a panic among thepropie on the platform. Two women, who gave thenames of Mrs. In*«-rsoll and Mrs. (lose Lamb, ofConey Island, fainted. An ambulance surgeon fromthe Brooklyn Hospital, who had been sent for to

attend Beyer, revived the women. The accidentcaused a further block on -he elevated lines ofmore than half an hour.

i-'ir-ei] the engineer, was arrested on a Chargeof homicide.

KILLED IN ELEVATED JAM.

A motor train of three cars, which was to belaid up for the night, was taken by Robert Goff.a yardman, who started to run It out of theterminal Into the yard. Immediately followingItwas another motor train of three cars. in chargeof William Clayton, of No. SSB Slxteenth-st..Brooklyn, motorman. and Charles Burman, ofNo 522 Vanderbllt-ave.. Brooklyn, conductor.This train was to make another trip over thebridge. It had discharged Its passengers andbeen run into the yard, and was being backeddown onto the north roadway of the terminal.

The yards are slightly above the level of thetracks in the terminal, and when the drawbarbetween the motor car and the next car of thetrain which was being laid up by Goff, brokethe two last cars began running back towardthe terminal. The other train had not clearedthe frog leading to the north roadway, whenthe runaway cars struck the centre of the lastcar and jammed it with terrific force against

one of the iron supports of the roof. The sideof the car was crushed In like so much paper,and splinters and wreckage covered the trackson all sides. The car which struck the otherwas also badly broken. Both the conductor andthe motorxnan of the train which was struckwere in the front car, and were not badly hurt,though they were thrown down.

As the accident occurred on the switch,through traffic over the bridge had to be sus-pended. It being Impossible to switch the carsfrom the south to the north roadway. A buffalocar was put in commission, and ran back andforth over the north roadway, hut it could notaccommodate one-tenth of the traffic. Ticketswere sold for the bridge trains in Manhattanfor some time after the service was suspended,and a terrible jam occurred on the platformsthere. Finally the passengers were Informedof the trouble, and went downstairs and tookthe trolley cars.

Ever since the first house of worship was built jin this city l.v Christian Scientists Dr. Huber has ;

devoted much time to the study of the subject, on jwhich he read a paper last night, some monthsago he presented a brief review of some of theresultß of his researches In this field to the Medico-Legal Society, and last night he gave a reaumeof what he had found to be the causes of psycho- i

pathic epidemics, or. to use other words, epidemics fof mental diseases. He spoke in part as follows:

"Fundamental factors in their development are ;unquestionably imitation, suggestion and the con- \tagion inherent in social excitements. The be- i

havior of those in the cult called Christian Scienceor Eddyism plainly shows how people can be af-fected by thepe factors. with no other assistancethan the Incantations pronounced over their pain

"To the students of humankind there can be no :more interesting study than that of such epidemicsM these. Eddyism and like hypocrisies attract ;very many honest and devout people, who are j

under the Impression that the movements must be

good and wholesome, because they invite adher-ence in the name of religion.

The paper was discussed by Drs. E. D. Fisher.Theodore H. Kellogg. Robert Morris. A. Knopf and ;W. M. Lfßzynaky. ,In his paper Dr. Parsons spoke of persons who

became insane from receiving a severe shock to i

their nervous systems. He said that most of thesepersons regained their normal mental state quickly Iif they obtained the proper care. Dr. Frank Van \u25a0

In regard to the passage of the bill Mr. Bennetsaid to-night:

This is the culmination of a two year fight. Thismeasure willwipe out a licensed form of barbarismIt Is not necessary to tell of the cruelties whichhave been perpetrated under the section of the lawwhich this bill repeals. All that has been broughtout again and again at the different hearings.

A member of the Assembly Fish and Game Com-mittee, in which the bill lay 'or more than a monthwithout action until after the hill had passed theSenate, said to-night:

1 understand on the best of authority that thesummary action of the Assembly In passing the billla the result, more or less, of the interest whichSenator Tlatt has taken in the bill. The Senatorinformed the Republican leaden that the bill wasa good one and ought to pass. When the Senator'sposition became known the bill came out of com-mittee without delay, and it was passed to-nightwith such alacrity that the opposition had a chanceto be heard only on the rollcall.

ThejfPoi'Jtion. which was introduced by Andrew B.Haaphrey. urged that if Congress decided to aidCuba, a bounty or gratuity should be paid out ofthe funds of the Treasury, and the tariff left un-chanped.

The committee on national affairs, which hadpondered the question since the last meeting, sub-mitted a long report indorsing the resolution. Thisrffpon ni received. Francis. B.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.The report of the committee was read by Colonel

Charles H. Denison, chairman. It summed up asloilows

VTe think it safe to predict that no reciprocitym-Ul be adopted with Cuba, ur any other nation,that d->es not comply with the sound and rationalview expressed in President Roosevelt's message,namely, such as can "safely be done without in-jury to our home industries." It being evidentthen that the application of the policy of reci-procity to the problem In hand is entirely Im-linifticahie. and sinc«> a reduction or rebate ofduty is shown to be pernicious in practice, wrongin principle and inadequate to accomplish the ob-ject ostensibly aimed at. namely, to relieve thedistress of Cuba, we see no oth«r method of givingsuch relief than that of a bounty extended for abrief term ot years. The people need to be fre-quentiy reminded of the value of our home market—the product of the policy of protection. When weconsider the tact that the addlton of flve nts aday to the income of all who work for a livinglaa^rth $I'jij.<>a'.'Jij'J a year more to national prosper-ity and Jeveloi>ment than the entire profits on our'orei;;:i trade, imports and exports included, calcu-lated on a basis of 10 per cent, and that this for-eign trade, which i» eolonal. amounts to only 5.6P*-r cent of our hume consumption, the patrioticAmerican will be reluctant to sanction the adoption•~.f mt-asures calculated- to peril the policy whichmade this market, even on the plea of charity.«r.ii <-sr>ecla!!v when th<» charity is de-signed for thefurther enrichment of American millionaires andmonopolists.
