AT WASHINGTON. "Washington, Sept. 30. Minister Woodford up to noon today had not In formed the Mate depjitmcnt of the Spanish cabinet cilslx, nnd the depart ment was htlll olllcl.illy Ignorant of yesterday's happenings at Madrid. The main point of interest bete at pies ent is the composition of the new cab inet and It Is expected that Mr. "SVood foid will not neglect to obtain and cable to his ko eminent the earliest In formation possible on that point. In admiiilstiatlon elides today opinions are fairly dhlded as to the outcome, whether the new cabinet will be Lib eral or Conseiatlo, and as that Is tho matter of gravest Impottnnce to our government, as Influencing tlvi I line of policy to be followed as to Cuba, there Is n strong deslie to obtain In kformatlon rogaidlng it.

He was tioselv followed by Assistant Secretary Hay and, although It Is un do! stood that tho latter's visit had bargely to do with the state dcpait- Inent appointments, It Is not doubted chat there was a discussion of tho lat est Madrid developments.

Cummin gs, Temporary Chuirman--rrost for Crokcr. Now York, Sept. 30. The Democrat ic city convention tonight nominated Robert A. Van Wyelr, for mayor; Hlnl S. Colct, for comptroller, nnd Jacob C. Huppeit, Jr., for president of tho coun cil of Greater New Yoilc Tho platform adopted practically ig nores national issues, declaring- at tho ouUet: "We regard n the supreme Issue of the munlclpil campaign tho inauguration of a wise, liberal, honest and Democratic government in placo of the present costlv, wasteful, illib eral and Inefficient admlnlstiatlon." Tho "pindlgallty, lnelllclency and hyptoeiiy" of the present c4t' admin istration Is condemned, and It Is sale! to have ptoduced "a corrupt, expensive, fractious, discordant, Intolerant and In capable government, that has Impaired the ciedlt, increased and augmented the debt or the city." The platfoim declares for homo rule in city government and denounces the dictation ot the state legislature In mu nicipal affairs. Iiws that "cuitall the peison.il liberty ot the citizen In. the ptacilce ol Innocent customs and In tho put suit ot harmless pleasures" ato condemned nnd their liberal admlnls tiatlon Is donianded until they nte ic peated Tho Raines' liquor law Is con demned as lnequltlous and Intolerant, subversive of personal liberty and In jurious to business Interests, while en coui aging Intemperance' nnd falling to suppiess vice. Us piompt repeal Is demanded. Trusts aie denounced a fatal to the prospoilty of the people. The platform demands that the pilco of gas be l educed to Jl or less per 1,000 feet Capital, the platfoim declares, should bear Its full share of burdens of government and should deal Justly with laboi. The ptogiess of organized labor laws Is Insisted on, and the "ex tension of the law of injunction in suppression of the struggles of the- la boring masses" evokes a protest. A bar at the rear of the platform did a rushing business as soon as the doors were thrown open. Just before the convention was called, to order. Alderman Talt got into a rough and tumble light with a mem ber of his delegation. The fight was faHt and furious Tho other man was put out of the hall, Richard Croker did not attend tho convention. John C. Sheehan was loud ly cheered when ho appeared. Tho convention was opened at S.12 p. m. by John C Sheehan, who nominated Con gressman Amos J, Cummlngs for tem poiary chairman. In his speech on taking the chair, Mr. Cummlngs said: This is an ago In which associated, wealth Is marshalled, organized and equipped for municipal, state and national control. Gradually and siadlly It has taken possesion of the citadel, seized up on all Its approaches, and now lalses its brazen front to teulfy all -who venture to question Its supremacy, want, ir it does not obey Its mandates, Is threatened with, greater want. Destitution, humiliation; and finally death follow In Its wake. Mil lions In a day mule by a government pawnbroker Is hailed as a great achieve ment, while honest wages nre deplored as an lntolarable burden upon tho savings of tho pawnbroker. Never was thero a. stronger coll for truo Democracy thnti there Is today, for it Is a matter of publlo notoriety that Its wholesomo truths aro disregarded, its wholesome efforts le- stralned, Its wholesomo purposes ttvwaited. Tho crowd was very noisy during tho roll call. When the name of Delegate Richard Croker was called, there was not even a rlpplo of applause.
