"You cai.nnt jhoe or disprove It by me," Bald he If Mr. MrKenna retiies from tho of fice of attorney geneial theie Is reason to suprose that Judge Day, tho assist ant scctetiry of state, will bz named for the place. Judge Day is not con tented in his riecnt office, and it Is goneially supposed that when ho took It at the solicitation of President Mc Klnl y It s agreed that ho would be tiunofencd as soon as an opening for his pi emotion presented Itself.

Hem y Geoige, candidate of the Jefferson Democracy for mayor, tonight gave out tho fol lowing latter concerning the leccnt combination with the Citizens' union: On Friday, Oct. C, in Cooper Union, I ac cepted tho nominations tendered me that ot tho peoplo there assembled, upon tho platform und tcsiolutlon thero adopted; that of tho United Democracy, that of tho Democratic alliance; that of the Man hattan fclnglo Tax club, und that ot the lVoplo's pnrt j . In accepting these nominations, It was my Intention to do so myself alone, und to leave iivery question ot who shouM run with for other otllces to be settled by tho organizations themselves, ti listing that this might bo accomplished either by a union upon such ofllces or by my running lor major upon the tickets o all, leaving subordinate ofllces to be tilled In by each. As the only w ay of satisfactorily settling thine details the short time allowed by the necessity of action under tho law, I submitted this mtcatlon to a committee appointed by tho chaliman of that meet ing After careful examination this com mittee has recommended to me that thero be printed on the ticket to bo given ottl clal currency under tho emblem of tho rooster, such names for city olllces as may bo selected; that there should also bo printed tho names selected by tho Citizen1' union for candidates in tho county ot New York; by the Democratlo organiza tions for tho counties of Kings nnlt Queens, and bv tho Democracy of Thomas Jelfcrson for the county of Richmond. Tho judgment of this committee, unani mously expressed, commends Itself and has my cntlio approval I am tho candi date of whoever may choose to vote for me, and do not presume to ask him to vote for anjone o'.se. But, since we havo not tho pure Austiallan ballot, It Is nec essary that I should take the most rea sonable means of being presented fairly to tho votera for their suffrages. I dojhls in tho manner recommended to me by tho committee, leaving to tho individual tho responsibility of selootlng who he chooso for himself. I havo at tho somo time with drawn mv acceptance of tho nomination of tho United Democracy, the only organ ization supporting me that has made a separate ticket. 1 thus carry out In its spirit and meaning tho pledgo m.ido at tho People's mass mooting nt Cooper Union on Oct. 5 Mr George said today That I can defeat both Van Wvck and Tracy, I do not feel the slightest doubt. In my opinion the i5ue is solely between Mr. Low and myself I think I sliall beat him.

MOST DARINQ FEAT ON RECORD By tho Alii ol Liquid Iloiroslitncnts the Detectives at the Whnrf Aro Lulled to Slumbcr--Tlio Escaped Prisoner Appears In Men's Clothes Until the Ship Leaves Port. New York, Oct, 13 Miss Evangellna Cisneros' escape and safe arrival on the Seneca was one of the most daring feats ever attempted and successfully curried out. While she was still In prison her friends secured a passport for one Juan Sola, and a stateroom on the Seneca was held In the same name. This was thtee days before the boat sailed. On the Saturday when the Sen eca was to leave Havana detectives watched her gangway with extra cau tion. All day long thev lemalued at their post, examining the passports. Their vigilance would probably have prevented the departure of Miss Cls neios from Cuba, had It not been for a little refreshment which was served on them by friends of Miss Cisneros, who were aboard the Seneca. The re freshment included wine. Tho chief of police of Havana camo aboard vvhllo the refreshment part of the plot was In progica), and it Is alleged that he, too, fell a victim of tho wiles of tho Cisneros faction. A few minutes before the Seneca was ready to pull out from her dock, a slim young fellow came running across the wharf. Ho had no baggage and was fashionably dressed. The detectives stopped him. "My nnme Is Juan Sola," ho said, and ho showed his passport. Every thing was satisfactory, and ho was al lowed to go aboard. It Is said that if it had not been for the wine, tho strange tieblo and rather'curlous figure of Senor Sola might have ecited tho suspicions of tho Spanish detectives; but tho scheme worked successfully. Miss Cisneros' friends, when they saw that everything was satisfactory, disembarked and watched the ship pull slowly out under the frowning Spanish guns, carrying the fugitive to safety under the stars and stripes. Miss Cisneros went nt once to her cabin. The next day when Morro Cas tle wns left tar behind, she appeared on deck, transformed Into Senorita Ju ana Sola, alias Coslo y Cisneios, and dressed in a becoming red gown fur nished by the stewardness of the Sen eca. CAPTAIN STEVENS ANGBY. Captain Stevens, commander of the Seneca, was nngry when he discussed the Cisneros incident with tho report ers. He said: ' Since tho commencement of tho In surrection It has beeti tho custom of th Spanish authorities to post a couplo of detectives at the head of the gang way of ships lying at Havana. Just before the Seneca sailed, tho chief of police, his deputy and his secretary came aboard. Thy made no seaich nnd asked no questions, although upon three former occasions they had search ed the Seneca from stem to stern and keel to promenade deck, looking for suspects." Captain Stevens said that to the best of his knowledge the only poisons who went aboard at Havana were the Las tie family, the Del Bcal family, eight Chinamen and a man whose name ap peared upon the advance passenger list ns Juan Sola and who must have had a passpoit. When it was discovered that Juan Sola was a girl, the Juan was changed tc Juana, and Miss Cisneros came in under that name. New Yoik, Oct. 13. The Cuban Junta has issued an invitation to the people of Gieattr Npw York and vicinity in terested in Senorlta Coslo y Cisneros and the cause of Cuba to attend a re ception to be tendered to this rescued young woman at Delmonlco's on Satur day night.

Philadelphia, Oct. 13. The Pennsylvania Association of War Veterans' clubs has issued a circular to "The Loyal De fenders of Their Country" in this state, urging support of the Iieaconi-McCauley state ticket. It says, in part: "It is the belief of this organization that the best interests of our state and nation are conserved by maintaining the -t- supremacy of the Republican party. One year ago a com 1 rade of the war was elevated to the office of president of the T United States. The votes and influence of the veterans mater- ially aided in the election of President McKinley. That con i test meant a great deal to the veterans of the country. Our comrades had been shamefully treated by the administration 4 of Grover Cleveland. The policy of Hoke Smith has not been forgotten by the maimed and wounded veterans of the late war. f The contest is not yet ended; it has but begun. The policy 4 of the present administration has been dignified, aggressive and patriotic, the business interests ot tlie country arc reviving under the industrial and financial policy of the new adminis tration. Prosperity is once more smiling on a hopeful people. "While our business conditions have steadily improved, the welfare of the old veterans has been carefully guarded. Many of our comrades who were wrongfully dismissed from federal positions without cause by the administration of President Cleveland have been reinstated. The present commissioner of pensions is a loyal comrade and in sympathy with the justice and equity of the claims of worthy soldiers, their widows and families. We can now have reasonable hope for a fair and just disposition of claims heretofoie neglected. "The new administration is now on trial. The result of every state election this fall will be construed as either an en dorsement or disapproval of its policy. This is peculiarly true of Pennsylvania. We have always stood in the front of the bat tle for Republican supremacy. We are on the threshold of an administration that promises much for the benefit of the material, business, commercial, industrial and soldier interests of our country. It is our duty to support it loyallv and faith fully. "The Republicans of Pennsylvania have nominated can didates for auditor general and state treasurer. They arc men of unimpeachable character, strict integrity, and well fitted for the positions to which they aspire. i "Major McCauley is a one-armed soldier, who did his duty . bravely on the battlefield and suffered in the terrible prison pens of the south. The Hon. James S. Beacom is a splendid rcprc- scntative of the young Republicans. He is a gentleman of 4- scholarly attainments and honest purposes. He has succeed- cd in life by his own exertions and has the confidence and esteem of his neighbors and friends in a marked degree. X "Our candidates being worthy, deserve the support of every citizen who values the history and traditions of the Rcpub- -f- lican paity. Our grand old commonwealth, that responded so nobly to the patriotic call of President Lincoln, will not fail to endorse the loyal administration of President McKinley by . giving a magnificent majority to the candidates of the Re- X publican partv at the approaching election on the second dav of November next." -M-f i II - H - H - H - f - H - t - M LUETGERT SHEDS TEARS.
