Indifferent About Gallagher.

The Mayor has seen no newspapers

*bout the kind of man Gallagher ie; noone has told him that Gallagher has a

Mr. Jacktoff cautioned Gallagher notto discuss any of his actions on the day

of the shooting, although the prisoner

asked that he might do so, and sug-

gested that he had talked enough. Gal-lagher was insistent that the newspapermen should state his case as he had toldit. and thanked them for coming to seehim. He appeared much exhausted afterhis talk, but, lighting his pipe again,

which he smokes Incessantly, he ambledoff to his cell with his keepers.

Warden Sullivan said he believed Gal-lagher was a paranoiac, and was having

a. close watch kept over him for fear

he might inflict gome injury on himself.The prisoner's counsel stated yester-

day that insanity would be the defencewhen Gallagher was brought to trial.Jacktoff and Seivagtfi said they were ar-ranging to have a prominent New Jer-sey lawyer defend Gallagher.

STRIKE OF TAILORS NEARLY OVER.The strike of twenty-one thousand coal

tailors, under the auspices of the Brother-

hood of Tailors, which began eeveral days

The strike was ex-pected to affect forty thousand coat tail-ors, but Secretary Gold! erg, of the broth-erhood, said yesterday that when thetwenty-one thousand went on strike thecontractors began to settle in a nurry.

Gailagher said that James- W. Mc-Carthy, Assistant Prosecutor of HudsonCounty, who has charge of the case inthe absence of Prosecutor Pierre Gar-

vcn. had talked with him at the jaiiandpromised that be would get a fair trial.

Says He is Not an Anarchist.

"The prosecutor mentioned the assas-sination of President McKinlry in con-nection with my act," said Gallagher,

"but there is no parallel in the twocases. The man who phot McKinley wasa crank, an anarchist, and Iam noth-ing like that. Iwas fighting for a prin-

ciple, and have nay own Ideas concern-ing the righting of a personal grievance,

but 1 am not a socialist or a man with-out reason

'

Th? prisoner waxed fervid about hisfavorite author, and seemed to forget

his predicament and surroundings en-tirely in quoting whole stanzas fromHamlet's part. "To be or not to be," hestarted in a solemn voice, and con-tinued through most «.f the soliloquy.

He quoted from other plays of Shake-speare, and became more and more ani-mated in his conversation about thevarious characters. He appeared tohave a studious knowledge of the- great

bard.

Gallagher said he had lived a good dealalone in recent years and that some ofhis habits had not been always perfect.

•'I am not any better than Iought tobe,"' he said, "but like a good many ofus, Iconsider myself a good man as wego. It isn't my nature to toady afterany one and bow down to any man. I

consider any man as good as Rockefel-ler and Carnegie or any others. It isthe principle that makes the man, nothis name or his money."

"Have you ever clone rftuch reading?"Gallagher was asked.

Talks About Shakespeare.

"Why, no," said the prisoner, reflec-tively. "Ialways read the papers prettythoroughly, and once in a while a littlefrom the Bible and my Shakespeare. I

liked to study Shakespeare and try tounderstand the meaning: between the

lines. There are many students thatnever understood him. 'Hamlet' is my

favorite play. Isaw Booth play Ham-let four or five times, and there was noactor who ever played the part half sowell. Iwent often to see others play it,

but they didn't grasp the part and makeit Interesting."

Gallagher smoked for some time Insilence. Finally he raised his head andsaid slowly: .

"These are all facts, and facts arestubborn things. You can, kalsominethem, paint them over, or paper themover like the wall of this room, but thefour letters FACT will always stand

out."

"I was at one time as stanch a Demo-crat as was ever in Tammany Hall. Tknew all the leaders and got them all tosigyi my petition for a place in the DockDepartment. T always stuck to Tam-many Hall until Hearst ran for Maryor,

and Ivoted for hini. But T want every-body to know that there isn't any poli-

tics In this case."

Gallagher referred to his affiliations inpolitics and said :

Complains of His Trial.

"So you pee Ididn't set a fair trialor a square deal

—that was all I.•wanted.

Any one pot a match?" then asked Gal-lagher. When his pipe was lighted hegrot Itgoing well and continued:

"After Iwas discharged on July 21 Iwrote Mayor Gaynor a letter. Imadeup my mind It was the last appeal Iwould make. In the letter Iasked theMayor to give me a square deal for thelove of Justice, as a lawyer, a jurist an*a judge. If 911 my letters to MayorGaynor have befn kept they are thebest proof of my case."

matter when you get It." Then on July

21 Gallagher received the letter from thecommissioner discharging him.

"There are some fine men in the de-partment, but the majority of them arescamps." said Gallagher, with consider-able show of feeling. "I told Commis-sioner Tompkins that he was in it for$7,.V>0 and pome for $4.<*¥>, and no on.and that Iwas In it for only $7«"»0 andBay promotion had not come, as Jt. hadto others, who had not been In the de-partment R3 many years as I.

It was dated Vienna, August 10, andread:

other bulletin was issued. It was un-

isigned, but was handed to the reporters

It was admitted by the physicians that

the patient's life depended upon the|presence of foreign matter on the two

at the point of entrance, behind theright ear.

Itwag announced at 4 o'clock that Dr.

60th street, would attend the consulta-

tion at B:M o'clock last night.

In the afternoon Mr. Gaynor talkedwith the physicians about the Adiron-dack?, saying he had hesitated whether

be go to that region or to Europe. He

said all he wanted was a good rest.

"Anyhow," he added, "now we'll makea good rest of this."

At Z o'clock Mr. Gaynor was movedinto a larger room on the same floor of

the hospital, the room having two large

windows instead of a small one, and heseemed grateful for the change.

Rosario Certainly in v Collisionwith Either the Marcellus

or the Vacilla.

The little Atlantic Fruit steamship Ro-sario 'di Giorgio limped into port at halfspeed yesterday, with both starboard andport bows stove in to within fourteenInches of the water line. Captain Lersensaid, with evident reluctance, that his boathad been in collision with the United Statescollier Marcellus at 2:30 a. m. on Tuesdayoff Cape Henry In latitude 3fl, longitude

74:08. The night was clear though dark, thecaptain said. The collier was struck In theBide, and both vessels stood by live hours.

Captain Larsen explained that the collierLeonidas. with two barges in tow, like theMarcellus, was standing by. both boundfor the naval station at Guantanamo, Cuba.The captain of the Marcellus intended toput into Hampton Roads to ascertain theamount of damage done his craft, according

to the Rosario's skipper. -*~

And then on top of this story of the col-lision the United FVuit liner Frutera ar-rived here in the afternoon, after havingfallen In with the lyoonidas sixty milesoff Cape Hatteras. Captain Danielson re-ported that the Leonfdas was towing fourlighters, and that the last in the string

was in a sinking condition.The captain of the T/eonidas signalled the

Frutera that this lighter, the Vacllla. hodbeen in collision with the Rosario diGiorgio, and that he was doing his best totow "it into Hampton Roads, according toCaptain Danlelson. He asked Captain Dan-ielson to send a wireless message ashorerequesting the naval authorities to dispatcha }ug to assist him.

This was done, but Captain Danieleonsaid that as he was leaving the Ijeonldas

at noon the Vacflla sank, the collier's crewevidently finding the task of keeping herafloat too much for them.

Carl Hnnsen. a seaman, was lookout onthe Rosario's bow when the collision oc-curred. He explained that both bowswere smashed down fifteen feet becausethe other vessel, which lie thought wasthe Marcellus, rebounded from the firstImpact on the- starboard side and cameon again, striking the fruit steamers portbow. The damage done to the Rosario'sbow was about even on each side, andwould have made the steamer unseawor-thy had the weather been at all rough.

Just before the collision Hansen sawthe big hulk of the collier or the lighterlooming up. and ran backward toward thebridge, giving the alarm. The collisionfollowed Immediately, both boats be' .j?

under full headway.A steel mast on the collier or lighter

was broken off by the force of the impact

and fell forward, hitting the deck of theRosario on the exact spot where a secondbefore Hansen had been standing.

The fruiter's starboard anchor wasripped out and a large hole appeared whereit had rested. After the collision whistleswere exchanged. Hansen sad he couldsee no lights on the other vessel.

The Rosario di Giorgio is a 619 ton Nor-wegian steamer. She cleared from PortAntonio on August 4 with a cargo of ba-nanas, and carried only one passenger,Adieno Sylvaro, a Jamaican negro woman,who became hysterical after *h<^ collisionand had to be treated by the sh'.p's doctor.

Both colliers wore bound for Guanianamo,Cuba, loaded with coal. The night wasvery dark when the collision occurred.

The crews of both colliers tried hard tokeep the Marcellus afloat long enough toget the vessel into Hampton Roads, anilit was due to their efforts that the vesselkept afloat so long. The Leonld&s returnedto Hampton Roads, towing the four barges.

RICE CASE COMPLICATEDBullet from Russian Gun or Win-

chester Rifle Killed Him.Cleveland, Aug. 10.—Every theory in re-

gard to the murder of William T^. Rice,the millionaire attorney, whose body, shot,clubbed and slashed, was found in theroadway near his home on Friday night,lias been upset by the testimony offered to-;day at the coroner's inquest.

The first sensation came when GeorgeFreeman, a firearms expert, testified thatthe bullet taken from the ileaa man's head,had not come from a .32-calibre re-volver, as had been supposed, but be-longed either to a Winchester rifle or aRussian gallery gun. The bullet weighed115 grains and, according to Mr. Freeman,could not belong to a revolver of anymake known in this country.

A little later in his examination Mr. Free-man declared that Mr. Rice must havebeen shot while his murderer was stand-ing some distance from him. Accordingto the expert. If the bullet had been firedat short range it could not fail to have ,passed clear through the skull instead ofsimply lodging in it.
