I wont say whether I have heard it or not," he said. I read that some republican stump speakers expressed themselves lu such a manner, and probably all of them are a bribe takers themselves. They lied. You said on Friday, observed Mr. Goff, that the people of New York are Indebted to Richard Crokcr for closing the pool rooms, continued Goff.

I said that he Is always doing good things," said Sheehan. So the fact remains that It is for Richard Croker, a private citizen, to force the commissioners to do their duty," sneered Goff.

The secretary and the German ambassador were In conference at the state department ou the subject and the minister transmitted the protest to his home government, promising that It should receive careful consideration.

There Is some reason to hope that our government may be able to secure a suspension of the order for a time at least to afford opportunity for further Investigation and the proper consideration of such representation as we can make to support our case, and one rea-son for this belief Is founded ou tlio change Just made In the Germau chancellorship.
