The Emperor has caused this view to be com muncated to President Roosevelt. The German Foreign Office has sent to The Associated Press the following official declara ¢icn on the subject: The notices which have appeared hitherto in the foreign press in regard to the HiH affair heave originated in the erroneous impression that #t was intended in Berlin to recall the ap val given here last autumn to Mr. Hill's ap imtment. This has mever been thought of. t is true that doubts subsequently arose as to whether Mr. Hill would feel himself comfortable in the post of American Ambassador at Berlin. put these doubts have been removed, =o that pothing stands in the way of Mr. Hill's nomina tion to the Berlin Embassy, and he will be wei come in Berlin now. as he would have been pefore, or as any cther unohiectionable repre sentative wouid be, who should be named by President Roosevelt It is to be stated emphatically that through out the whole incident the ambassador, Mr. Tower. has not swerved for one instant from the straight line of absolutely loyal and hon arzhle conduct. both toward his own govern ment 2né the imperial German government Baron von Sternburg, the German Ambassador 2+ Washington. has during the last forty-eight tours been in the closest touch with the Foreiem Office. 2nd hac cabled fully concerning the mat ter. He described the nesd of a speedy ar rangement of the affair and President Roose velt's Gifficulties in meeting the Emperor's in clinetion. and. furthermore, the unpleasant ef fect the whole controversy was having upon American public opinion. The German Foreign Office since vesterday morning has sent a number of dispatches tn the Emperor at Venice, through Baron Jenisch, the representative of the Foreign Office who is with the Emperor Ac soon as a definite statement of the Em peror’s wishes was received by the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Herr von Schoen. the Secre tary and Ambassador Tower had a long con ference at the Foreign Office, at which the en tire subject was gone over. At the conclusion of the conference Secretary von Schoen cabled the foregoing statement io the German Ambas szdor at Washington. with complete additional explanations. Ambassador Tower also cabled tn tha State Depsrtment the fullest details of zl! that had been done. The aim of the German Foreign Office is to cinee the incident in a manner satisfactory to the President and the people of the United Rietes At first the Fereign Office, which is gencitive on any question relating to the Em peror. mas inclined to believe that a general denial of the statement that the Emperor had derlined to receive Dr. Hill as American Am bassager might quiet the situation, pending a jeisyrely settlement. Rut it was evident from Baron von Srernburg’s dispatches on Friday gn? Rzturday that public opinion, as well as the American government, required some adequate and definite solution. and it was announced yves terdzy that the Emperor would delay the depart ure of the imperial yacht Hohenzollern from Yenice until Monday. presumably to afford time for the disposition of this matter.

It ic certain that if Dr. Hill comes to Rerlin as the Amnerican Ambassador he will he most cor gialls welcomed. and given every attention bv the Emperor and the German government. Tt is thought in Berlin that the Emperor's original purpose was merely to shew friendly solicitude concerning American representation. Paris.

Members of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church Bible class were placed in a quandary Yester day by the announcement that John D. Rocke feller. jr’s candidacy for the vice-presidency of the class will {be contested by W. E. Church. It is Mr. Church's popularity which renders the situation embarrassing. He has been a member of the class since Governor Hughes was its leader. and always has been such an inde fatigahle worker that the class hesitates to vote against him. even for Mr. Rockefeller. When the list of nominees for the annual election of officers was read vesterday by WW. E. Clark, chairman of the nominating committee, the members were amazed at the announcement that Mr. Rockefeller's candidacy was to be con tested.

Mr. Church wanted to withdraw, for he has great admiration for his classmate. But the nominating committee argued with him that it was his duty tc stay on the ticket “in order to give the class a chance to demonstrate its inde pendence.” Mr. Rockefeller also is said to have requested Mr. Church to remain in the race as a personal favor to him. Mr. Rockefeller has fre guentiyv expressed disapproval at hearing the class termed “The Rockefeller Bible Clase.” He has pointed out that now that he has resigned the leadership, he desires to be considered merely as an ordinary member,

NO GILLETTE REPRIEVE DENIED BY GOV. HUGHES. a Execution Yi! Take Place at Au burn Prison To-daun.

Aland, Allard LJ—xoveriiil’ nkRiics afd ‘nounced to-night that he had denied the appli cation for a reprieve for Chester Gillette, and no act of the Governer that can now be foreseen will interfere with Gillette's execution at Auburn Prison, probably to-morrow morning. for the murder of his sweetheart, Grace, or “Billy,” Brown, of South Otselic, Chenango ’ounty. it Big Moose Lake, in ths Adirondacks, on Juiy 11. 1906. The Governor dismisses the theory, based on the alleged new evidence presented by John 1. Dugan, of Albany, who appeared for the Gil lette “=mily before the Governor, as ‘wholly untenable,” and declares that *if reason is 10 be our guide and all the established facts are taken into concideration, there is no escape from the conclusion thzt a brutal murder was com mitted and that the conviction was just.” The memorsndum of Governor Hughes in the case is as follows: In the matter of the application for a reprieve of Chester Gillette. On December 4, 138, Chester Gillette was con victed of tha murder of Grace Brown cn July 11 of that year. On February 18, 138, the Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed ihe judgment, and he was then sentenced to suffer the death penaliy during the week beginning March 33. Upon avpli cation for executive ciemency, and after a care ful examination of the evidence, 1 reached the con clusion that there was no ground upon which I should be justified in interfering with the execu tion of the judszment of the court. A reprieve is now asked in order ti:at proceedings may be taken to obtain a new trial upon the ground of alleged newly discovered evidence. It is the privilege and the duty eof the executive to grant a reprieve whenever the interests of jus tice require it. But where the petition is based upon the claim that evidence has been newly dis covered ang the character of the evidence is clear ly disclosed, the exeeutive should not interfere with the sentence unless he is satisfied that the case is one in which the application for a new trial should be made and heard. Whatever his power, the Governor has no right to grant re prieves unless he can- assign good cause, and if the administration of the law is to be respected petitions made at the eleventh hour must show merit. I find none in the present case. A portion of the alleged newly discovered evi dence is to the eftect that iliette had torn the ribbon band from his straw hat in September, 1305, and had given it to his companion. The object is to rebut any inference trom the absence of the interior lining of the prisoner's hat, when the lat ter was found floating or Big Moose Lake, that it nad been taken out to aveid identification. This, however, is of no importance. By his conduct both before and after the fatal event it is con clusively established that he did seek to aveid identification, and the question whether or not he removed the lininz of his hat for that purpose is net of much moment. The other evidence hefore me, so far as it is at all credible, is to the effect that Grace Brown during the vear preceding her death had ‘‘spasms” or “spells” from time to time in which she be came unconscious. These are described by those who knew her in the factory at Cortland. It is testified that this was a matter of commen knowi edge among the girls who worked with Grace Prown. There were seventy-five girls where she worked, and two of the withessag gay that they pelieve that all these girls caw Grace Brown have these “spasms some of the times.” It is evident that the fact as to the physical condition of Grace Brown and as to these alleged manifestations, as suming the truth. ef tne present statements, were easily procurable and that any inferences to ba drawn therefrom have at 21] times been available. The theory of the defence at the trial was that Grace Brewn committed suicide. The theory now advanced is that Grace Brown wae an epileptic subjéet, and that if she had an epileptic seizure in the boat oa the fatal dav, and if during the attack sha zustazined the various in juries found and fell ints the water, the condition of her hody as disclosed Ly the autopsy might be accounted for. Rut this theary is wholly untenable. It is con clusively disposed of by the statements, conduct and testimony of Chester Gillette himself. If it ha assumed that there was such a seizure and fril as might !e deemed to account for the condition of the hedy, it is inconceivable that they should have escaped tha ohservation of the prisoner; and if he had observed anything of the sort it is incon reaivable that he should have made the statements and have given the testimony which appear in the record of the trial No view of the unhanpy event is adeauate which fails to take account of the proved facts—the events preceding Grace Brown's death, the condi tion of the hodr and tha character of its injuries, the overturned boat with Grace Brown's cape on ton of it. the dispositicn of the tennis racket, the conduct of the prisoner previous to the tragedy and euyhseaquently, and the manner in which he sought to explain it when defending his life

If reason is to he our guide, and all the estab lished facts are taken into consideration, there is no escape frcm the conelusion that a brutal murder was committed and that the convictien was just. After examining the evidence now presented, 1 fi»d nothing in it which in any way can refute this conclusion, or which furnishes any justification for executive action. Mr. Dugan hae nething to say to-night except that now that the Governor had denied the ap plication for a respite there was nothing further to be done It was learned that Mr Dugan had requested ihat the execution be deferred until Wednesday, so that he might have an opportunity to go be fore a Supreme Court justice with the evidence he presented to the Governor in support of a motion for a new trial He was informed that, the Governor having acted on his application and there being no further new evidence to pre sent, thera was nothing more for the Governor to act on.

Auburn, N Y., March 2% —Chester Gillette wiil be executed in the electric chair to-morrow morning at Auburn Prison for the murder of his sweetheart, Grace Brown, in Big Moose lake, in the summer of 15606. The news that Governor Hughes had finally declined to !nterfere and stay the execution was received here late this afternoon, and was communicated to Gillette, who heard the words that took away his only Licpe for life with the same stoicism and indifference that have marked his conduct during and since his trial. His mother was deeply affected when she heard the news, and denied herself wo 211 visitors. Gillette passed the day quietly in his cell and there was no deviation from the regular routine cince he has been in Auburn prisen.

KILLED BY EXPLOSIONS. Blaze Ignites Gas Tiice—Kescuers Perish in Second Crash.

Cheyenne, Wyo.. March 28.—Between fifty five and seventy ten, it developed to-dav, lost their lives in two explosions yesterday and last nizgat in Coal Mine No. 1 ef the Union Pacilic Coal Company, at Hanna. The explosicns were caused by gases and cecal dust and each was followed by fire

The first explosion occurred at 3 p. m., kill inz eizhteen miners, including a superintendent and three bosses.

The second explosion cceurred at 10:32 o'clock last night, and is believed to have crushed out the lives of from forty to fifty rescuers, includ int State Mine Inspector D. M. Elle. The names of the men Kkiiled in ths first explosion are shawn on the comnany’s books, but these of the rezevers are not known, as n« recerd was kept of those who volunteered for this danger cus werk.

Tha wildest excitement prevails to-day in Hanna and at the mine, where hundreds of persons are congregated, including widows, children and other relatives of the victims. Men, women and children are loud in their out bursts of grief. i When the second explosion occurred additional appeals were telegraphed to all surrounding towns fer assistance. One train is rushing west from Omaha. carrying officers of the Union PaciGe Railroad and of the Union Pacific Coal Company. The regular force of men employed at mines Nos. 2 and 3 were pressed into rescue v-ork, which is extremely difficult. i

The bodies of four of the eighteen men who lost their lives in the first explesion were found last night. but owing to the increasing volume of gas, which threatened to explode at any mo ment, no effort was made to move them to the surface.

Fire started in the colliery last Sunday. Sines that time attempts have been made at regular intervals to extinguish the blaze. Yesterday it was deemed unsafe to send the miners down into the workings, and they were told no: to re port for duty. Superintendent Briggs, with the best and most experienced hands in the camp. went into the mine to fight the fire, but at 2 o'clock p. m. the flames were beyond control.

1

At 3 o'clock the fire reached the gas, and a terrific explosion follawed. In a few minutes many men volunteered to enter the mine to rescue any possible survivor. The fire hindered tha rescuers, but they made some Progress. After 3 long struggle the volunteers got well into the mine. Those on the surface had begun to expect results from the intrepid daring of the rescuers, hut at 10:20 o'clock the camp was startled by a second explosion that partiy shut off the shaft of the mine, and almost certainiy killed the volunteers. The victims are all below the tenth level, and it is probable that thes flames have consumed the corpses.

A list of the missing which is thought to be nearly complete contains fifty-eight names. Of this number five bodies were recovered late to day. Before further attempt at rescuing the dezd can be made the fire in the tenth level, which was the direct cause of the two explo sions, must be extinguished. Work to this end consumed the entire day.

Rv Telegraph ta The Tribune Boston, March 23. —Senator Lodge, at the eleventh hour. is waging a desperate fight to retain the Re publican leadership in the state. With the state caucuses or primaries only two days away, it seems evident now that Senator Crane will carry the state by a big majority. Both Crane and Lodge admitteuly will be of the “big four” to the Chicago Convention, but the fight is being waged on the instruction of delegates. From all over the state to-night reports are pouring in of the showing made by the Hughes mea under Crane, and from being olainly worried the Lodge leaders are becoming frightened.

His reply was: “No, they seldom ask me to address them.” Berkman then emphatically denied that he was near Union Square Park on Saturday af ternoon, and said he was perfectly willing to tell the police of his movements on that day, &nd that his statement would be corroborated by many others. “If the police want me,” he said, “they can find me here at any time. I have no intentions of leaving the city.” SOCIALISTS BLAME THE POLICE. The haste of the anarchistic circles and the hotheaded socialistic groups in disclaiming any connection with the cutrage was equalled only by their desire to make it appear that it was a plot of the police to bring them into more dis repute. Many of them professed to believe that Cohen was not the man who threw the bomb. The general impression that most of them sought to instil was that the police officials were willing to sacrifice their own comrades to create sweeping popular condemnation of an archistic or socialistic teachings. One and all agreed that Cohen was a lunatic acting alone. There was much talk, too, of po lice “brutality,” but not a single case of any one being clubbed could be found in the East fide resorts of those who were in Union Square. Those tales of clubbing and brutality whic were gifted finally resolved themselves into noth ing more than being forced to moye on, or being restrained from making speeches. COHEN MAY STILL LIVE. Cohen is still hanging on to life, and the sur geons at Bellevue, who like nothing better than to get a desperate case, now believe they can save the self-confessed bomb thrower. Shortly after 10 o'clock last night Coroner Shrady visited Bellevue Hospital and tried to get a statement from Cohen. He was unsuc cessful, and the coroner said that he would try again to-day. As the coroner approached the man’s cot he saia: “I want to ask you several questions about yourself.” “All right, go ahead,” the bomb thrower re plied. Then the coroner asked about the tomb, and 211 that Cohen would say was: “Go away, don't bother me. I don’t want to 1z2lk to you.” Then Coroner Shrady explained his position, and the man said: “l know all about you. 1 asked you to go away, and why don’t you do as I ask?” The general committee of the Socialist party held a mass meeting in the Temple of Labor, in Fast 84th street, and adopted resolutions charg ing that the police deliberately provoked the people in Union Sguare to disorder. In another statement Robert Hunter, who was not allowed by the police to deliver his speech, charged them with “incredible cruelty.” Two detectives left Police Headquarters yes terday on a secret mission up the state, and it wzs said that their trip had something to do with the bomb expiosion. When Inspector Mc Cafferty was asked about the matter he said that he could give out nothing at present. YANOVSKY DISCUSSES OUTRAGE. Yanovsky, the Jewish editor, declared he had no knowledge of either Cohen or Hilde brand, and said he believed that the outrage was either a well planned plot of the police to cause a revulsion of feeling against anarchists or else had been inspired by the agents of the Russian government, working through the police. “The unhappy man was not an anarchist,” he =aid. “That thing is certain, for what he did i= directly against the teachings of anarchy. We are agains: all use of force, and are against government because we consider it centralized force. The anarchists for twenty-five years have been engaged in a peaceful propaganda, never advocating violence. Those who do urge the use of force and violence are not anarchists, “If Silverstein, or Cohen. was an anarchist he never would have thrown the bomb, for such a thing only reacts upon and against us. It is our enemies that benefit by such acts. 1 was not a witness and know only what 1 have read, but IT think that in searching for the author of the outrage it would be well to consider those who would most benefit by the effect of such a thing. “I was not in favor of the demonstration of the unemployed on Saturday, and opposed it in my paper. managed even to get it postponed from March I until Saturday. 1 thought that its scope was too limited to do any real good, and that it should not be held until all working men and unemployed could join, but it was held.

Captain Shaw, of the East 5th street station, was “tipped off” that the meeting was likely to be disorderly, and when it started he was there with his reserves in plain clothes. Julius Edel son, one of the prisoners, was the first speaker, and as he spoke he became more excited until he exclaimed: “No matter how much Czolgosz has been damned for his good work, we know that he was a great man. He was a true hero. American laws are all made for bluffing. The people of America are worse bluffed than the people of Russia.” This was too much for Shaw, and he started to arrest the speaker. As soon as the people realized that an arrest was about to be made the crowd became infuriated and cried “Down with the police! Kill them; they're worse than Russian officers! Brethren, do not submit to this disgrace!” One woman struck Captain Shaw in the face, and it was not until the ar rival of mere police that he was able to take his eight prisoners to the station house. On January 7, 1907, Emma Goldman was ar rested in this city, this time with Berkman, for addressing a meeting at No. 151 Clinton street. The police had a stenographer at the meeting. The Goldman woman sald, “As long as I live I will be opposed to government. And as I live and as my brain dictates, I will use force against the government.” Then Lieutenant Braun blew his whistle and the squad of police that had been held in readi ness closed in, preventing escape in any direc tion. When Berkman was arraigned before In spector McLaughlin he said: “I believe, as an anarchist, in government without force. The foundation of the present and all governments is force. 1 believe that so ciety is perfectly capable of governing itself.” They were later discharged on the recommenda tion of an Assistant District Attorney. HILDEBRAND OPPOSED TO SOCIALISTS. t the Third avenue home of Ignatz Hilde brand, who was killed by the bomb, there was deep mourning vesterday. An emphatic denial was made by the wife that the dead man had anything to do with the throwing of the bomb or that he knew Cohen. According to Mrs. HIl debrand, her husband was fifty-two years old and was born in Bavaria. He came to this country thirty years ago and moved to Orange, N. J., where he ran a tailor shop. Later he moved to Newark and continued at his trade. About twenty years ago one of the officers of the union he belonged to embezzled some of the union's funds, and Hildebrand, becoming disgusted, left the union and vowed that he would have nothing more to do with them. With his savings and those of his wife he opened a grocery store in Roseville, N. J., but was forced to close out. He became incensed against the Jewish race as a whole, Hildebrand was, according to his wife, an op ponent of socialism, and could think of nothing too bad for either the Jews or the soclaiists, This strengthens the story that the dead m#én had nothing to do with the bomb throwing, but was only an innocent bystander. The body has been taken to Orange, and will be buried there, the funeral being at the home of his wife's sis ter, Mrs. Emily Koehler, to-morrow. The Hil debrands are known in the district in which they live as hard working German people, and their neighbors are positive that the dead man had no part in the bomb outrage. EXAMINE BOMB THROWER'S SISTERS. At Police Headquarters detectives were flit ting around all day. Inspector McCafferty was in his office directing operations, and during the day examined S. Yunovski, editor of the “Freie Arbeiter Stimme,” and Selia Silverstein and Sarah Silverstein, two sisters of the bomb thrower. They explained the apparent conflict fn the names of Silverstein and Cohen by say ing that their father's name was Cohen, but on his death they took the name of Silverstein, which was their mother's maiden name. According to the older Silverstein girl, who acted us spokesman, the bomb thrower, his vounger brother, “Sam,” and the two sisters came to this country four years ago. All his life Selig had been sickly, suffering from bron chitis and rheumatism. He frequently com plained of paine in his head. He is twenty years cld, they said, and 1s ambitious, spending most of his time, when not complaining of hig lot in life, in studying books on chemistry. He at tended a night school in Brooklyn, and came to see them at No. 12 Delancey street, where they lived in a rear tenement, about once every week. The last time they saw him before they heard he had been taken to the hospital was two weeks ago. DETECTIVES ON EAST SIDE. Central Office detectives were Scattered throughout the East Side yesterday, and a house to house canvas’ was made of Pitt street for a man named Weinstock, who is supposed to be a member of the ‘“Arbeter Ringe.” This is known as an anarchistic organization, and the name translated means “Workingmen’s Circle.” De tective were also in the neighborhood of several of the Jewish newspaper offices, and every one was closely scrutinized.

M'CAFFERTY MAY CALL HUNTER. “Will you have Robert Hunter brought down here to find out what he knows of the matter?” vas asked of Inspector McCafferty, “If I am told that he did know anything about it. 1 certainly will,” he said. *And, another thing, i you want my opinion of the matter, 1 think *.aat it would be better for some of these so-calied philanthropists if they devoted their time, energy and money to helping people that are more deserving of their assistance than the kind that were in Union Square Park vesterday afternoon. You take that man they arrested who gave the name of Robertson—and he must have borrowed that name—who works up in a Sixth avenue restaurant, You take it from me he knows more about ‘sinkers’ and ‘beef and’ than he knows about anarchists. 1 don't believe that Silverstein had anything to do with the anarchists either, but that he was one of those men who, sickly from childhood, is envious of those who have both money and health.” TRANSLATING BERKMAN LETTEZERS.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1908. MR. HUNTERS STORY. lice and are being translated from Yiddish Did Not Know Permit Had Not Been Obtained. Robert Hunter, speaking for the socialists Wii planned the demonstration by the unemployed in Union Square, repeated yesterday that all social Ists deplored the bomb throwing, and that had the police dispersed the crowd without violence there would have been no trouble. Mr. Hunter i said the scene of the mounted policemen riding on the sidewalks, with the people rushing before them, could be wiinessed in no other place except Russia. “It is needless to say that every socialist de pieres the outrage of yesterday in Union Square,” he said. “The fanatic who threw the bomb has not only injured himself and threatened the lives of others, but he has made it impossible fo* the public to consider calmly the two important ques tions that the socialists were attemmeing to bring to the notice of the public. If the poor creature was interested in the rights of the unemployed or in the rights of free speech, he could hardly have chosen a more effective method of injuring these causes. “Aa my name has been mentioned so prominently in connection with the unemployed demonstration, 1 feel it my duty tb make a statement concerning the purposes of the meeting, as I understood them. It is the opinion of weil informed persons that at least two hundred thousand are now un employed in New York City. Most of them have Leen without work for three months at least. This means that many of them are facing starvation. Various attempts have been made to call the at tention of the publie authorities to this widespread misery. The socialists felt that the most effective way of attracting public attention to the question was to have a mass meeting. This has been dcne and is being done in most cities of Europe. There seemed no good reason why it should not he done in New York City. Tt was my intention and that of my friends to discuss the problem of unem ployment, to state the facts as we knew them, and to pass resolutions urging the city and state au thorities to provide work.

“If the meeting had been allowed to proceed peaceably, as they are allowed in many other coun tries, there Is no reason why the gathering should not have made a profound impression, and mate rially aided the cause of the unemployed. It was intended that the meeting should be absolutely peaceable, exercising the right of free assembly 10 state the grievances of the unemployed. This was the primary cause of the meeting. “When I arrived at the Square I only knew from a newspaper report that no permit had been ob tained. It appears from the reports that the unem ployed conference had decided to postpone the meeting. 1 was not informed of this action, and consulted Inspector Schmittberger concerning our rights in the matter. He said that instructions had been given to prevent any meeting. Without Know ing the law, it seemed to me a violation the constitution to prevent a peaceable assembly and the right of free speech. “It seemed to me the hest plan to determine the law in the matter was to be arrested for speaking and to test the matter in the courte. I informed the inspector, therefore, that I should endeavor to speak. There was, however, no chance. The crowd was Kept moving, and finally several thousand men and women were marching in a circle around the Square. As a very considerable portion of the crowd approached 17th street and Union Square

East a score of police on foot and as many on

horseback charged the crowd with incredible bru Erin The people were rushed into 17th street, Beeing from the clubs of the policemen, and al most under the heels of the horses. They were dispersing about as fast as possible, but the police seemed not content, and two or three on horseback rode even down the sidewalks, driving men, wiémen and children before them. The Sight was one which I think could not be duplicated outside of

IN rE. a A A A A A A A A A A Russia. Not all of the police could be blamed. They were acting under orders, and some of them were as kind as possible under the circumstances. A few of them seemed as fanatical and fiendish as Cossacks, 1 do not know if any of the spectators were. seriously injured, but it is a miracle if some were not. No. 6337 rode up and down the sidewalks like a madman. Some of the police expressed their disapproval of the brutality. “Up to this time no one, so far as I saw, was making any disturbance, creating any violence or using the methods of anarchy except a portion of the police. It is no wonder that there should have been resentment and bitterness. Some were livid with rage. A lad working on a building asked me if it was a Russian massacre. People shouted ‘Is this Russia? *is this a free country? Being driven amid protest down the streets with the érowd. and finding 't impossible to argue with a horse which was about to run me down, 1 climbed up some steps and attempted to address the crowd. Several policemen caught me and dragged me from the steps.

“Jt is to be profoundly regretted that the police saw fit to break up what was intended to be a peaceable assembly. They had aa unquestioned right to arrest any one whl was violent and to stop any one talking ho was urging violence. 1 am absolutely convinced that if the crowd had been permitted to use the square and the police had regulatod it as they would have regulated any other assembly, there would have been no violence, and very likely the poor fanatic who threw the bomb would not have had the courage nor the in centive to blow up policemen who were orderly and peaceabie.

“As it is now, the police brutality and the outrage make il impossible to discuss the dire need of ‘he scores of thousands ¢f unemployed men. It is in the interests of peace and content that the sociai ists work when they urge that employment be given to these many unfortunate and poverty stricken people” SOCIALISTS EXPLAIN. Say Officially Police Provolied Bomb Throwine by Brutality. Blame for the explosion of the bomb in Union Square on Saturday is laid on the police by the socialists, who say that Inspector Schmittberger did everything possible to provoke some act of dis order and turn the meeting into a riot. At a meet ing of the general committee of the Socialist party in the Labor Temple, No. 243 East 8ith street, early yesterday morning the following statement was issued: The unemployed conference of New York City, a delegate body in which the Socialist party is inter ested, along with other labor organizations, had called a mass meeting to be held in I'nion Square at 2 p. ni. on Saturday, March 2%, the purpose of such mass meeting being to consider the question of widespread unemployment and sufferings of the working class, and to set forth the demand of the working people that the city and state authorities take action to provide work for the unemployed. In response to this call many thousands of working people from all parts of the city began to gather at Union Square early in the afternoon. They found that insiead of performing its duty of main taining order and protecting citizens in their right to assemble for discussion the Police Department had filled tha square with hundreds of police mounted and on foot—who peremptorily forbade the holding of any meeting. The conduct of the police under command of Inspector Schmittberger, of Lexow committee fame, was such as to make it plainly evident that their purpose was, if possible, to provoke the people into some act of disorder, to turn the proposed meeting into a riot and so to discredit the movement of ithe unemployed. While the people kept coming and going and circulating around and near the square the police hurried them from place to place, heaping abusive epithets upon them, charged with their horses inte crowds moving quietly along the sidewalk and used their clubs according to their own brutal caprice. All this the people endured with remarkable patience and self-control. After this had continued for more than two hours, and when a large part of the crowds had left the vicinity of the Square, a bomb was ex ploded in the midst of a group of the demon strators, killing two and injuring several others. The police seized this opportunity, not to attempt to restore order and prevent further injury, bui to charge upon the crowds, riding down and club Bing the people indiscriminately while they Were attempting to disperse. In view of these facts, the general committee of the Soclalist party of New York County, in regular session on Saturday evening, March 2», 1908, declares: 1. That the unemployed conference and the labor organizations representad in it have Con aucted themselves in a law-abiding and orderly manner in all matters: concerning the proposed demonstration

2. That all actions of the cily authorities in connection with the proposed demonstration have been arbitrary and unlawful. That the re fusal of the Park Commissioner to grant to the unemployed conference a permit to assemble in Union Square was contrary to all established precedents; that the interference of the police with the propesed meeting in front af nlon Square was a direct and open violation of the constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech and assembiy. i

Thal such unlawful and tyrannical candunt ou

the part of the police is calculated. to’ breed law lesgness, violence and anarchys

4, That the Socialist party standz2 for the peace ful methods of propaganda and political action, and is emphatically opposed to acts of violence on principle and because such acts can only discredit and injure the cause of Socialism and organized labor; and that within the rights granted it by the Constitution and the law of the land, the Socialist party will steadfastly uphold the rights of free speech and public assemblage, undeterred by ar hitrarv rulings of police despots.

DENIES USE OF CLUBS. Inspector Schmittberger Says “Bro een Heads” Story Is False. The charges of brutality on the part of the police which were made by one of the Jewlsh papers were indignantly denied yesterday by Inspector Max Schmittberger, who had charge of the police at Union Square Park on Saturday. The charges were that hundreds of Jews were suffering from “broken" heads as a result of the clubbing they received from the police, who struck every one in sight. “I gave no clubbing orders to any of my men,” Schmittberger said, “and I am positive none of my mounted men drew their clubs while scattering the crowd. That is a story out of the whole cloth. While I believe something ought to be done, and that quickly, to curb the anarchistic tendencies of some of these people, I do not, and never did, ad vceate the wholesale clubbing of Innocent bystan‘i ers to effect the dispersal of crowds that collzct.”

SOCIALISTS BOISTEROUS. College President Has Stormy Time at Cooper Union Meeting. The Rev. Dr. M. Woolsey Stryker, president of fiamilton College, addressed a meeting in Cooper Union last night on “Fundamentals of Democracy.” Socialists, detectives and plainelothes men com posed the greater part of the audience, and Pro fessor Charles Sprague Smith and Dr. Stryker were bombarded during the ¢vening with questions about the “unpleasant occurrences” In Unlon Square.

When Profescor Smith suggested that the Union Square “unpleasantness” be dropped, there was some murmuring, and the audience asked questions about the “academic principles of democracy.” Professor Smith seemed to be nervous, and when more than one person jumped up to ask questions Le rapped excitedly for order.

A sweater swathed man with a loud voice brought out all the anarchy of those present when he questioned the right of the authorities to refuse permission to people who ‘wanted to hold a meet ing in the park at Union Square. The Rev. Thomas R. Slicer. who was on the plat form, said that the Commissioner was right, and there was a loud murmur of dissatisfaction. The speaker’. efforts to sidetrack the Union Square agitation were unavalling. The audience at first agreed to stop the discussion of the Union Square outrage, but they constantly forgot. Some one asked whether Police Inspector Schmittberger's club was stronger thar the United States Constitu tion, and there was a furor. Professor Smith nor none of those on the speaker's splaiform could an swer this question, and, taking heart, the audlence propounded many more like it. The mention of the fate of the King of Portugal by the speaker of the evening brought cheers from the socialists, and when a ghastly finish was predicted for the Czar of Russia, the cheering swelled. Inspector Burfeind had charge of the socialist suppression squad, and when a knot of men, who were apparently students, started to make a demonstration in front of the building, the detec tives and policemen in uniform disperses them; they sang the “Marsellaise’ and skulked away. C. FV. U. DOESN'T ACT. Socialist Delegates Denounce Police

orl at Union Square. Both the sociallet and non-socialist delegates al a meeting of the Central Federated Union yes terday, decided not to take up the question of the bomb throwing in Union Square on Saturday. it was learned that a socialist delegate had a set of resolutions prepared repudiating the matter, but he did not get a chance to submit them. Rudolf Modest, a socialist delegate, protested against the executive committee's action some time ago in asking the Park Department not to grant a permit for a demonstration of the same Kind under the auspices of the Industrial Workers of the World. This demonstration would have been under the auspices of the Socialist party. Modest said the Central Federated Union had no right whatever to ask any city departments not to gran® a permit to any organization.

“I eannot understand why this part of the report of the executive committee slipped through at the {ime it was read without comment,” he said. “While T am opposed to the Industrial Workers of the World as a body, I believe we have no right to dictate as to who should or should not have per mits.” A socialist named Paulitsch, representing the Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers, declared that the police were in a large measure responsible for the act of the bomb thrower. “The police by trampling on the people and rid ing among them probably inflamed the man’s mind,” he said. “If this Lcdy had not protested against the permit being given to the Industrial Workers of the World I believe that permits would have been given for the proposed mass meeting vesterday. Nobody could deplore the action of the fanatic who threw the bomb more than we do. The police acted like anarchists by charging among the crowd.” The police were then denounced by the socialists in their usual fashion. Scveral of the delegates who said they hal no intention of taking up the matter declared that now it had come up some

motion would have to be ut. No action was taken Thhaowever SOCIALISTS TO MEET TO-NIGHT. Woman Arrested After Union Square Out rage Slated to Speak. The office of “The Jewish Daily Vorwiirts,” in Fast Broadway, was crowded all day vesterday with the various editors and members of the So cialist party. “We have always advocated peace,” said one of the foriner, “and will print an editorial advocating that to all our readers, but we think that the police were entirely to blame for Satur day’s trouble at Union Square, and will take them to task for their actions. We are not in favor of that doctrine, ‘Bullets versus Ballots.’ It was said that Bernard Felderman, who as told in yes terday’s Tribune said that Cohen did not throw the bomb, was a visitor at the office yesterday, and repeated his statement. Felderman said on Saturday that he lived at No. 53 East 110th street, but he is not known at that address or in the neighborhood. At the district headquarters of the Socialist party, at No. 313 Grand street, there was a large crowd yesterday, but Minnie Folonia, who was arrested by the po lice after the Union Square outrage, was not among them. There will be a meeting to-night at No. 8 Forsythe sireet, at which, it is said, she will speak. “MARCH, THE MONTH OF REBELLION.” Contributor to Anarchist Organ Hails It as “Awakener of Downtrodden In the March number of “Mother Earth,” the anarchist organ owned by Emma Goldman, open prophecy of trouble this month is made by one of the contributors, Hippolyte Havel, a warm friend of Alexander Berkman. He says in his article: March, the red month, is with us again—the month of rebellion, the awakener of the downtrod den, the harbinger of hope. The days of grand past deeds are here, their memory rousing the proletariat to a clear consciousness of their worlkd liberating mission, strengthening them with the tires of noblest aspirations. And Jovfully, hope fully, the workers of to-day honor the memory of the heroes of the past and prepare to emulate thelr example. Our bourgeoisie has grown to look on the workingman as its mere slave, incapable of independent thought or action. How horrified they feel when the masses evidence by demon strations that they have awakened to selfasser tion and refuse to starve! History repeats itseif. These are our March davs. 3

UNEMPLOYMENT PROBE. A UNEMPLOYMENT PROBE. COMMISSION PROPOSED. COMMISSION PROPOSED. Neighborhood Workers Have Bill Introduced.

A bill to provide for a commission to investigate and ameliorate unemployment, prepared by a com mittee of Settlement workers in the Neighborhood Workers’ Association, and others, has been intro ‘duced in the Assembly, and will be introduced in

the Senate to-day. It reads: i into For the purpose of inquiring 0 the cause or causes leading to lack of Poa. 4 ment of large numbers of people In Sate Ine ge in ithe ane ro preventing. ig Boag of such causes go far as possible, a recurrence Sh Sauses

Such commissioners shall receive their NECESSAry expenses, and may employ counsel and sv A other assistants as are necessary. and shall port their proceedings, together with such rec om mendations as they deem proper, to the fLegls lature of 1969, and shall from time to time make such reports of their work to the Governor as ue Vv require. ir 3 The sum of $20,000, or so much there of as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated out of any moneys in the treasury not otherwise appropriated. to be pald by the treasurer on the warrant of the Controller, on the audit of the chairman of such commission, approved by the Heer This act shall take effect immediately. The chairman of tha committee is Dr. F. J Warne, a former officer of the Civie Federation. Among the other members are John I. Ellott, of the Hudson Guild; James I. Hamilton, Dr. Henry Moskowitz and B. F. Lewis. Among the sympa thizers in the movement are Charles Sprague Smith, director of the People's Institute; Edward T. Devine, secretary of the Charity Organization Society, and the officers of the various institutions. Die. Warne in an interview yesterday said he had made an investigation of the condition of the un employed throughout the city.

“While I am ¢ptimistic In my view of the situa tion,” he said, “at the same time I am not in clined to minimize its critical nature. I believe that under the circumstances the movement for a state commission is the most practical suggestion of the many that have been made for meeting the situation. The total number of men and women out of work I belleve to be not less than two hun dred thousand.”

Although the charity workers in this city will make no direct suggestions as to the plan of no tion, it is understood that one of the propositions in view is the establishment of a vagrant colony to be supported by the state, to which vagrants raay be sent and cared for in times of €Mergency. In support of this Dr. Warne said that £0 men applied for admission to the workhouse in Jan vary and Februar. Robert Hunter and his friends, it is understood, are opposed to the remedy suggested by Dr. Warne and the other East Side workers, on the theory that the agitation of such a proposition will de tract from the immediate rellef agitation: that the appointment of a commission and an inves:i gation will take away the pressure for immediate action. Dr. Moskowitz, secretary of the committee on unemployed of the Neighborhood Workers Asso ciation, sald In an interview, yesterday:

“As for the incident in Union Square and the demonstration that followed, I don't believe the blame should be attached to the unemployed on the Fast Side. From my knowledge of the people in this neighborhood, and I have been working among them for twenty-two years, think they are orderly and not prone to violence, not an archistlc in tendencies.

“The clubbing of a man by a policeman creates more discontent than the speech of a demagogue I don't know whether the police clubbed yesterday or not. But I believe there will be more order in the city when .he people have freedom of speech than when the police interfere.” i lim— Section 1. POWDER USED IN BOMB. Nitroglycerine Would Have Killed Many—Cohen Helped Needy. Cohen's bomb was not filled with nitroglycerine, as said in some quarters, according to men familiar with explosives who were seen yesterday. With out exception they pointed out that the quantity of notroglycerine which would have been exploded “would have torn to shreds anvbody within a radius of several vards, and would have torn up the coping of the fountain and the flagging about it, ~All =aid that it was either filled with common black or detonating powder, as said in The Tribune yes terday, or perhaps a mixture of chemicals to pe exploded by a fuse.

That it exploded too soon was put down to the fact that the fuse was probably homemade, for the regulation fuse is manufactured in lengths timed to a second. Cohen said that he procured his explosives in a drug store where nitroglycerine Is sold made up in such fashion that all its ex

i plosive quality is lost. Edward Miller, the proprietor of the drug store in Williamsburg where Cohen is supposed to have bought his explosives, said yesterday that he did not know Cohen, but he was sure that he had not sold him any nitroglycerine, and if he had it would not have been of any use as a destructive agency. He said that if Cohen did buy the explosive at his or any other drug store, he had probably filled his bomb with chloride of potassium, powdered sulphur and saltpetre, which, mixed in proper proportions, makes a high explosive, which can be detonated either by a fuse or by concussion.

A new light was thrown on Cohen's character by his cousin, Mrs. Gussie Alexander, of No. 2 Beaver street, vesterday. Cohen has been suffering from heart disease and under the care of Dr. Henry Kane, of No. 213 Bushwick avenue, for sev eral months. Despite this fact he often went half clothed, she said, giving clothes he needed to others more unfortunate than himself and sharing his meals with them. his side of his character is borne out by the story of a patrolman attached to the Ralph avenue station in Brooklyn who knew Cohen. On Friday, the day before the bemb outrage, he saw Cohen walking barefooted in the street. He haited him and asked what was the troubie. Cohen then told him that he had met a poor man who had no shoes and had given him his own. The patrolman hunted up the tramp and found that this was true and that to help him Cohen, iil as he was, had walked home barefooted.

WEATHER VARIETY DELAYS LINERS. Passengers on the Celtic Dance on Deck After Gale and High Seas. The White Star liner Celtic and the Philadelphia, of the American Line, which should have arrived here on Saturday, did not reach port until yvester day. Both steamships were delayed by bad weather, but neither was damaged.

The Celtic had all sorts of weather. Soon after leaving Queenstown she ran into a strong westerly gale and high head seas, and was able to log enly two hundred knots on March 22, and on the fol lowing day she made 29 knots. The wind shifted to the southwest in mid-Atlantic, and on Friday night the weather was so pleasant that the second cabin passengers had a dance on deck The entire passage of 2,803 miles was made in 8 days 19 hours and 20 minutes.

i ft PROPOSED. THE WEEK IN ALBANY Fale of Anti-Racetrack: Gambling Bills To Be Decided. thay Atiehtdytr to La AFOUunal Albany, March 29.— Whether or not the Tewtse leture will adopt the anti-racetrack login. lation in the form desired by Gevernor Hugheg practically will be decided by the Senate on Wednesday. On that day the bill wiping out the special penalty for racetrack gambling ang the amendment to the Penal Code providing a penalty of one year's Imprisonment for gambling wil] coma up as a special order in the Senate. The result will be the dominant factor in causing Governor Hyeghes to decide whether an extra session of the L# gislature will be necessary. The fight will begin when Senator George B, Agnew, of New York, Introducer of these bills tn thie upper house, asks the Senate to make ha I'enal Code amendment take effect on passage. This was the original form of the bill, but the committee adopted an amendment offered by Senator MeCarren, of the racing eg. horts, making it take effect on September 1. Ire became law in this form hal? the gambling and racing season would be preserved under Jresang ccnditions. €Covernor Hughes has made no secret of Lis ape dent desire that this amendment shall not prevaff 2 of Lis view that this postponement {3 a mere C—O W————— I subterfuge on the part of the racing interests They seemingly are ready to make It their Jag ditch; to lose that means to them to lose all, and b:iyond hope of recovery for many vears, at least, There fs small question that the bills can pase the Senate with this September 1 amendment. is possible, too, that the Assembly, rather {hap have a deadlock thrust on it to prevent adjourn ment as speedily as may be, would reverse itself and accept the Senate's views on this point. In that case, so strongly does the Governor feel on this subject, it would surprise nobody here fo have him call an extra session to try it all over azain. Hughes men with great confldence declare they have the votes to wipe out this weakening amend ment and pass the bills. Those Senators certain tg vote to kill the bills laugh contemptuously, and of fer to bet large sums that the measures, if passed at all, will be passed to take effect on September L All the efforts of both sides are concentrated on a few doubtful Senators, who are wavering. It is significant that agaln to-night sinister reports of the use of political pressure and the potent argu ment of eash have cropped out with much directs ness—the pressure not being exerted this time to kill the blils outright, but to retain the September 1 amendment. Whatever the action taken on these bills, it is hardly prebable that they will he passed or killed finally this week, because on Thursday there will be another special order in the Senate on ail ths banking reform bills which have reached that body. More than a dozen of these measures have besn passed by the Assembly with more er Ilesg objection. Most of them have Deen held up in the Senate by the objections of Democratic Senators. The questicn whether they confer too radical pewers on the Superintendent of Banks seems to be the chief point at issue, and thers will be much fireworks over the series, after whieh the bills will be passed. There may be a few amend ments to one or two of the bills, but these will not interfere with the comprehensive scheme of read Justment of the banking laws to which the Repub lican administration is committed.

Still another potent cause of discord will ba brought to the front on Thursday, when there will be the first hearing on the FPage-Wainwright bill ta put telegraph and telephone companies, stage and ferry companies and gas or electric conduit con cerns under the jurisdiction of the Public Service commissions. So far there has peen nothing hera to show exactly how the telephone and telegrapa companics regard this measure, aithough their legislative agents have been much in evidenca arcund the Capitol. It is known, though, that this widening of scope in the jurisdiction of the com= missions is not at ll pleasing to Chairman Stevens of the upstate commission, who believes these bodies have all they can handle now. In view of this faet, there is an impression in certain quarters that the Legislature will pass eniy pertions ef this bill—-thosa sections which have been urged by the commissions, and 30 consiitute departumont recom mendations—and let the telephone and telegraph proposition be dealt with in the future. Governor Hughes specifically recommended this broadening of the law in his annual message. His friends Know it is ene of his most desired preject® and are quite prepared to see him urge it on the Legislature with great firmness. They know, toe, that he does not intend to rest content with the ene vote bestowed by the Assembly Judiciary Com mittee on the direct nominations bill, a scheme recommended by him iast year and this. The Sen ate committee never has dignified the bill by cone sidering the question of reporting it this year, ai though the Senate twice passed the measure last session. I These two propositions and the much discussed investigation of Attorney General Jackson are id so indefinite a shape that the date of adjournment is entirely a subject for speculation. If the Legs lature carrtes out what seems to be a half formed. generally accepted plan, it will adjourn about May 1, after having mutilated the Public Service com missions law amendments and refused to pass the direct nominations bill. The leaders all say ad journment can come by April 17, but they do mot give detailed expianations of how they expect 1 do it. Such a course will not satisfy the Governer by any means, and in itself, his friends say. would be deemed sufficient cause for an extra session Then there is always the possibility that the racing bills may be killed by fair means or foul, so extra session talk prevails. As to the Jackson affair, there are so many ramifications to it that at any moment something may be developed whic will cause the Governor to present a demand for his removal. or the Assembly to consider itself justified in beginning impeachment proceeding® Such a contingency would keep the Legislaturs here most of the summer, and the legislators are only too afraid it may come {0 pass.

70BS FOR ALLVETERANS ib POSSIBILITY, AT LEAST. JOBS FOR ALLVETERANS POSSIBILITY, AT LEAST. (Civil Service Reformers Stirred Up Over Proposed Amendment. IBy Telegraph to The Tribun>.) albany. March 28.—Civil Service reformers gre much stirred up over the appearance on the caiendars of both legislative houses of the Cobb fowler constitutional amendment proposing 10 g44 10 per cent to the examination ratings of all yeterans of the Spanish-American War and the Philippine and Boxer insurrections. They say that this proposition is being advanced this year py the party leaders with a view to its possible gee 8% campaign material, though with the un gerstanding that it may fail of passage next Much opposition has been manifested to this measure Representatives of the Civil Service Reform Association argued against it before the Assembly Judiciary Committee, which, never theless. Teported it the next dav. The State Civil Service Commission is =aiso on record peainst the measure. This resolution, whicn «as amended in minor details by Assemblyman Fowler last week, will be on the Assembly cal endar for debate in the order of second reading this week The declaration was made here to-night that this project practically would turn over the en tire classified service of the state and its mu picipalities to these “veterans.” There are about 2146 men in the state who would receive this perefit if they chose to try for places, and only 30.532 places te be filled by competition in state,’ ecopnty and municipal service, Opponents of this measure, including the Civil Service Com mission. the Civil fRervice Reform Association gnd the Citizens Union, of New York City, have in other years succeeded in killing similar pro jects which have sr, appearance prac tically ever since the se of the Spanish War. their Figures compiled by the adversaries of the Cobb-Fowler amendment present in striking #orm the effect of this measure, if adopted this year and next and sanctioned by popular vote. Thus, if one cof the applicants at the last ex gminztion for patrolmen in New York City, re ceiving on merit a rating of 75 per cent. had by virtue of being a Spanish War veteran received this zdditional 19 per cent. he would have been gdvanced over the heads of 640 other candidates, perter fred for the service as 10 their acquire ments. If his rating had been 85, the additional 16 per cent would have sent him ahead of N09 Ir the last examination for firemen in New Tork City a candidate receiving 73 per cent, by the addition of 10 per cent, would have been placed over 687 of his fellows; if he had earned per cent the extra 10 per cent would have sent him ahead of 650. In the examination for prison Keeper a veteran hn TG would have passed over 157 other can Cifztes, and with a rating of R¢ would jump -e= the heads of forty candidates and reach the top oI the list. In the examination for police c.rgenn a veteran with a mark of 70 would be <vanced over 76 candidates by the addition of 1% per cent, and one with 77 would jump a4 ces. to the top of the list. In the examina for court attendant a veteran with T0 would jump 344 candidatet, and one with 80 nuld advance 134 places. In the examination or inspector of milk a veteran with 70 would te advanced 80 places. and one with 50 would sump -o other men and be placed at the top of the list. Since this would apply not only to entrance exzminations, but to those for promotion, these veterans not only would be able to get into sate or municipal service first, but to obtain ~omotion far faster than their deserts, to the set -iment of better equipped men already in the service, thus to the detriment of the service wit dN w I A Lh v4 Hh Is tenll frcal?.

TARGET WORK CLOSING Winner of Gunnery Pennant in Fleet Still in Doubt. Magdalena Bay, March 28, via Peint IL.oma (Cal.) wireless station, March 2¢.—Record target practice for the sixteen battleships of the Atlantic fleet is rapidly approaching a close, znd it is expected that next Wednesday, April 1, will witness the final firing on the ranges. The Virginia, the Kansas and the Vermont were on the firing line to-day. and they are the last ships to complete their work. The Verment and the Kansas are engaging in target practice for the first time under record con ditions and have been granted a concession in the way of preliminary practice. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, it is believed, the Kansas and the Vermont will have the ranges all to themselves. The gun crews of these ships have had abundant opportunity to prepare for the work at the targets, and they should make good records. The ships sent to the ranges first suffered scmething of a handicap, &s gun drilling at sea does not give the same results as when a ship is lying at anchor.

All of the ships have been dcing excellent work at the targets, and it is still a matter of degubt as to whether the championship gunnery pennant for armored vessels will iy from one of the ar mored cruisers of the Pacific fleet or fromm cneo ot the bhattleships now here. It is believed the contest has narrowed down to the' results of ihe small calibre scores, with the 3-inch rifles especiall; figuring in the equation which is to be solved. The records as at present compiled give no certain indication of the final results. The batileships have made high scores with their 12and 13 inch guns, as has also been the case with the 8 and 10 inch rifles in the primary batteries of the Pacific fleet cruisers. With the completion of the target practice next Wednesday the crews will turn to coaling, and then will foliow a week of cleaning and painting ships for the welcomes which await the vessels at the various California ports they are to visit. When the work of painting is done the sixtean ships will look as spick and span as the Jay they lef: Hampton Roads, and will be manned by crews that are trained to the minute and are ready for any service. Next Thursday night. April 2, a banquet is to be given on the Mexican gunboat Tampico. whicn has been here ever since the fleet arrived. The host of the evening will be Governor Sanguinez, of the Southern District of Lower California, who came to Magdalena Bay to greet Admiral Evans and the other American officers as the personal representative of President Diaz of Mexico. Cov ers for thirty will be laid, the guest list includ ing all of the flag and commissioned officers. Following the dinner, which is to be an elaborate one, there mili be an exchange of speeches on the querterdeck of the Tampico.

Washington, March WORLD CRUISE FOR SCOUTS.—If the naval scout cruiser Salem. unde. construction at Quincy, Mass., is competed in time the Navy Department will undoubtedly have that vessel and the sister ships Birmingham and Chester join the hattleship fleet. This could be done so as to have the new scouts, which have by far the largest steaming ‘radius of any American warships, reach the fleet by the time they arrive in Australian waters and make the remainder of the homeward trip with Admiral Sperry’s command by way of Suez. This arrangement would afford the best possible oppor tunity of determining the relative endurance and sustained speed of these cruisers The ships will be put through thelr paces, in anv event, but it is appreciated by the naval authorities that there would be distinct benefits derived by the long trip under such conditions that would probably surpass any of the demands destined to be imposed in time of war. Dut tae Salem may not be ready for trial for two months. and by the time the vessel is ac cepted it may be too late to send the ships to Aus traiia.

This increase in the military force in the national park is on the recommendation of the officers on duty there, who believe that there should be better provision for protection of the natural curiosities of the place and the control of the increasing volume of tourists. It is planned by Lieutenant General S. RB. NM. Young, the superintendent of the park, to es tablish one or two medel camps in the summer ceason. that visitors may observe the conduct of a military eommand in the field. It has been de ciced to continue the employment of soldiers as a guard in Yellowstone Park, instead of aaving civilians on that duty.

TROUBLES OF SKY FPILOTS.—The naval chaplains have carried their point with the Navy Department in favor of a change in the official apparel of those officers. For some time they have been contending that the sombre dress pre scribed by the regulations was something of a hindrance to them in their work and gave them a distinction from other officers which was not altogether agreeable. The oniy decoration worn insignia of rank on the collar of the coat. There was ne other relief from the black of the coat and but tone. Now it has been decided to have the black buttons replaced by those of brass. jt has also been decided to have an examination by a board of chaplains of those candidates who are nomi ains Ne such examination has been held as a guide to appointment to the position of naval chaplain, although for some years an examination of that sort has heen conducted of candidates for ap pointment to the position of chaplain in the army. By this means it will be possible to ascer tain definitely the mental and moral qualifications of nominees and so escape the appointment of those who are not qualified In three instances in the last year or two where it Was necessary to dismiss chaplains the unfitness of those offi cers would have been disclosed bv the prelimi. nary examination. eh CONDEMNED DRUGS.—The army medical offi cers who have charge of the disposition of drugs and medicines at the medical supply depot in New York have run into an interesting feature of the pure food law. As is usual at this time of vear, arrangements have been made for of condemned drugs and medicines which ck. The inspection and the =ale have deteriorated while in sto condemnation have been conducted in the usual way, and orders were given for the customary dis position of the mate rial. The question has been presented, however, whether this transaction can be made in view of the restrictions of the pure food law. None of the drugs and medicines possess the lahél required by th law, which: was passed after the drugs and me. incipes were purchased by the army medical officers. The Attorney General has been asked to render an opinion as to the legality of sellinz the medikrines. in view of the statutory prohibition, and whether such 2 transactien would involve the original manufacturers or venders of the articles.

“FIXTURES"' FOR QUARTERS.-The War De partment has awarded the contract for the first tnstalment of heavy furnitvre intended for officers’ quarters at all army posts to a Philadelphia dealer to the amount of 3246 6, representing about one fifth of the total amount which will be expended for the acquisition of these permanent lixtures for officers’ quarters. The articies to be first pur chased are the dining room table, dining room chairs, desk and sideboard-—-all of mahogany. An army quartermcoster will shortly be designated to act as inspector, and thers wil. be two civilian ex perts as his assistants at the factory in Michigan where the material will be purchased. it is de sired that as much of the furniture as possibie shall be delivered before July 1. the lirst shipment to be to stations in Alaska.

TROUBLES OF SKY FPILOTS.—The naval chaplains have carried their point with the Navy Department in favor of a change in the official apparel of those officers. ¥For some time they have been contending that the sombre dress pre scribed by the regulations was something of a hindrance to them in their work and gave them a distinction from other officers which was not altogether agreeable. The only decoration worn by the naval chaplain has been the insignia of rank on the collar of the coat. There was ne other relief from the black of the coat and but tone. Now it has been decided to have the black buttons replaced by those of brass. it has also been decided to have an examination by a board of chaplains of those candidates who are nomi nated for appointment to the corps of chaplains Ne such examination has been held as a guide to appointment to the position of naval chaplain, although for some years an examination of that sort has heen conducted of candidates for ap pointment to the position of chaplain in the army. By this means it will be possible to ascer tain definitely the mental and moral qualifications escape the appointment of instances of nominees and so those who are not qualified In three r two where it was necessary in the last year or to dismiss chaplains the unfitness of those offi cers would have been disclosed bv the prelimi. nary examination.

The service, now complete, is on exhibition in the show window of the makers—Reed Barton-—at Fifth avenue and 324 street, where it is attracting much attention. The silver service, which consists of a large and a smal: punch bowl, a pair of candelabra, a palr —_— of sandwich dishes, a pair of fruit baskets, a pair of serving trays, a pair of bottle holders, a coffee urn and a cigar box, is to be shipped in a few days to Dillon. county seat of Beaverhead County, Mont., where the people of the state may have an oppor tunity te inspcct it until such time as the officers of the Montana are ready to receive it.

The Fourth Assistant Postmaster General has been actively co-operating with the state highway officials of New York since July, i905, in the effort making to secure the systematic and general im provement of the public highways. The require ment of the department that roads should be kept in a condition to be travelled with facility has been an inceniive on the part of those interested in the rural service to promote road improvement and repair. int _

It is furtner demonstrated that since the estab lishment of rural delivary farm values have ma terially increased, and a good part of these in ereasad valuations may be directly attributed to the introduction of rura: delivery.

SCULPTURE EXHIBIT IN BALTIMORE. A Baltimore. March 2% —For the first time in its history the National Sculpture Society is about to hold an exhibition outside of New York City. The 5th Regiment Armory, In this city, will be opened next Saturday to a display of sculpt ure and bronzes representing the work of about one hundred artists in this country. There will be about four hundred exhibits, including, be sides marble groups and reliefs, two hundred bronzes cast in American foundries. An interest ing feature is that many women have signified their intention of sending some of their best work.

Afarch 2% —FException is taken bv postal clerks to the reiterated statement that the expense incident to rural delivery has been the causes of the recent deficits in the postal rev enues This is not confirmed by the records of the Pnstoffce Department In 1897, when the expenditure on account of rural delivery was only $14,840, the postal deficit was $11.411,779. while in 1807 the expenditure for rural! delivery had in creased to $26.755.524 and the deficit had de creased to $6.653.282. These figures are cited to demonstrate that the increased expenditure on account of the rural delivery service bears no ratio te the annua! deficit. On the other hand. it is certain that the operation of the rural de livery service is responsible for a very large per centage of the increase in the postal receipts The establishment of a rural delivery route, it is asserted. Invariably brings with it a great influx of mail to the locality affected. and this is gradu ally followed by an Increase in the outgoing mail. There has also, it is said, been a saving of more than $12,000,900 en account of closing small postoffices and discontinuing star routes Various economies of management have been effected in the =ervice by establishing rural de livery on a definite and businesslike basis, =o that each route must show an adequate return to be continued. The service having been so eXx tensively established. there are now fewer peti tions for the establishment of additional routes The number of routes installed during the fis cal vear 1305-06 averaged 304 a month: during the vear ended June 30. i807. the monthly aver age was 183 routes. At present the average is little more than one hundred a month. In the newly developing West there is an in creasing demand for rural service, and it 1s from that section that the larger number of patitions for the service are coming.

Washington, Preparations for Attack on the Monitor Florida Almost Completed” Washington, March 29. —Within a short period, probably inside of two weeks, the firing test by 17-inch guns at the turret of the monitor Florida will take place. Practically the only element lack inr will be that of human life aboard the vessel The Navy Department would have no difficulty in obtaining all the volunteers it could use had a decision been reached to put men aboard the ves. sel. but such an idea was never entertained. The tests will show whether any of the bolts holding tiie armor have sheered, the rivets loosened, the alignment of the guns changed, the gun siguts harmed or damage sustained to the pilates hat niight disable the vessel for future effective work.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, MOND. CAUGHT ODELL. HE SAYS

z Parsons Tells of Having Repeater’ Slin of Ex-Governor. Herbert Parsons, president of the Republican County Committee, in a statement given out last night. repeats his charges that the lieutenants of ex-Governor Odell are preparing to use fraud at the primaries. He specifically charges them with Baving printed slips te be filled out for the use of repeaters. The issue is not Governor Hughes, President Parsons declares, but is: “Shall Odell control the party organization in this state.” “Whichever ticket a nan votes,” says Mr. Par sons, “he will be voting for Governor Hughes. Odell wishes to regain power, and he has attempted it under a clever disguise. He has fooled some sincere people by his professions of friendship for Governor Hughes. ©deli does not rely upon win ning oy fair means. He has but one motto, and that is io ‘win.’ His lieutenants say they must win by fair means or foul. On this account they have made elaborate preparations for winning »b¥ foul means. Not only have they tried to corrupt frspectors, but they plan by wholesale voting of yepeaters to Carry the primaries.” Then follows the charge regarding repeat In proof of this have secured a repeater’s ship by Odell’'s men for use by the fraudulent voter in answering the questions of the inspector. Jt is a thiu piece of paper that can be carried in the palm of the hand or in the hat. It contains ces so labetled that when filled in the repeater will have at nand a description of the man on waose name he ig 10 Voie, with information as to the man's previous residence. Why this slip? No jegitimate voter needs it. Every honest voter knows these facts about him self. These slips will be given to repeaters to be studied between polling places. The slips are printed. Why? Because the Odell lieutenants need many of them that that is the cheapest and meatest wav to prepare them. They want them for use by thousands Is this siip te be used in the interest of Governor Hughes? No: if thera were an issue on Governor Fushes and this slip were nsed Ly Odell under the pretence that it was for Governor Hughes, Gov emor Hughes would have 10 repudiate such meth ods. But that he wiil not have to do. as he is not is this slip to the issue. In whose interest, then, be used” In the interest of Odell and of Odell only. Nr. Parsons declares it zn unpleasant thing to be compelled to attack a man who has twice been elected Governor, and «till more so because the man is a member of his own party. “But,” he adds. “the Republicans of this county some time ago lost confidence in Mr. Odell. They do not want him in the position of authority he seeks to obtain. Xor do they wang {he Republican party run by men who win their primaries by the use of re peaters. I call upon every Republican who believes ir honest party management 16 come to the pri maries on Tuesday and condemn by his vote this attempt to steal success.” Mr. Parsons was not ready last night to make any detailed claims as to the results of the pri maries, but will have such a statement to-night.

The recent developments in the Democralic Sitla ation in Kings County indicate that Senator Me Carren’s leadership is about to be put to ihe gcverest tes: in many years. The opposition is con figent of wresting several districts from him at the primaries to-morrow Details were lacking yester day regarding the secret meeting of about half of the district leaders said to have Leen held at the Astor House, Manhatten, at which, according to report, a resolution demandirg that McCarren ab dicate the leadership was passed. Thea McCarren heard of it he sent out a hurry 311 for all the leaders to meet at the Thomas Jef ferson Building on Saturday zfternoon. The osten sible reason for the meeting was to name conven tion dates. The real reason was said to have been to learn what leaders were in the movement by their failure to appear. Every leader was present and the question of leadership was not breught up. According to the reports, Thomas R. Farrell, Jjeader of the 1th District, presided at the secret meeting. Among those present, it is reported, were: P. F. Lanch, leader of the 23d° J. P. Sinnott, leader of the 22d: WR. E. Melody, leader of the 4th; ex Fire Commissioner W. A. Doyle. leader of the 8th, and T. F. Byrnes, leader of the 1ith. None of them would admit it vesterday. The anti-McCarrenites have had much success in their search for proselyvtes of late, owing to the opposition of Controller Metz, McCarren's lieutenant, to the Fourth avenue subway. Bor ough President Bird 8. Coler, leader of the antis, has waged his war against McCarren and his fight for the subway simultaneously. with the re #ult that he has convinced most of those who have been sdveocating ihe subway that McCarren is an enemy to Brooklyn. The passage of the subway plans a few days ago has heen inter preted in Brooklyn as a direct slap at McoCarren. The strength of the antis at this time is prob lematical. l.ast fall MeCarren had enough fol lowers in each district to control it. The recent joining of the forces of Coler, James Shevlin and 2. J. Flaherty and the vigorous campaign which the antis have waged following in the footsteps of “Ceoler's Bulletin” —have drawn strength from “Leong Pat™ The opposition has been working more on the principle that 2 party leader must win campaigns and obtzin patronage te survive, than with the jaca of defeating McCarren in a show down on numbers only. The leading idea has been to make it impossible for the Democratic organiza tion, with McCarren at its head, to win a victory. Those who know the resourcefulness of AMeCar ren are inclined to think, however, that his ene mies have much hard work ahead before they ac complish the final downfall of the Senator.

In a letter written to ex-Senator Nathaniel A. Elsherg, Herbert Parsons president of the Re publican County Committee, referring te an inci dent at a meeting of the county committee in De cember, 18%, says: “Your present attitude shows what 1 had only suspected before, namely, that in the open meeting vou tried to trick me into naming Quigg. The minutes in this connection indicate it.” Ex-Senator Elsherg had been queted as saying recently that at the meeting in question Mr. Par sons had asked the former, temporary chairman of the meeting, to appoint Quigg to the committee on contested seats. Mr. Parsons declares that be fore the meeting he had transmitted the desire of Quigg that he be named on the committee, but had absolutely refused to recommend his name in the meeting, although asked by Mr. Elsberg to make a recommendation. Mr. Parsons writes to ex-Senator Elsberg: Your opposition to the organization in the 28th Assembly District, and thereby to me, has been a great surprise, in view of the complimentary statements that you have made from time to time. 1 cannot believe that you claim that the issue has to do with Governor Hughes's candi dacy for the Presidency. As to that, let me say that Mr. Hammond from the very first told me that his intention was to seek the will of the voters in the 29th Assembly District and to loy ally ahide by it. He never suggested to me that there was any other idea in his mind. Nor do 1 know of anvining he has ever sald which entitles any one to question his loyalty to Governor Hughes's candidacy. The attempt on your part to use Mr. Ham mend’'s vote at the January meeting of the county committee as a vote against Governor Hughes would be wholly unfair. Nor can you claim yourself to be a Hughes advocate as against Mr. Hammond. You vourself did not vote on that rolicall, although you were present and although I repeated the calling of your name so loudly that you must have heard it. ACCUSES FEDERAL OFFICEHOLDERS. Says They Are Working for Parsons Ticket in Twenty-Ninth. Ex-Alderman Clarence H. Freeman, one of the anti-Parsons men in the Republican primary fight in the 20th Assembly District, declared last night that federal officeholders were using their in fluence in favor of the regular ticket, which is headed by John Henry Hammond. A member of the Hughes Club. declared Mr. Freeman, was told that the sub-postal station privilege in his drug store would be taken away if he sided with the Freeman forces.

“(Civil Service men, federal emploves and court clerks to tne number of some twenty-five,” said Mr. Freeman, “have given up their duties, and at the expense of the public are going about this dis trict blackmailing others to prevent them from taking any part with us. Men working in federal departments have been warned that they will lose their positicns if their names appear on our ticket.

“I intend to follow up these matters and to have the federal employes dismissed for their ob jectionable conduct in this primacy. It is high time that political workers were prevented from draw ing their pay at the public ull.”

CHINESE PRIEST CONDUCTS SERVICE Father Chang Sings Vespers at Brooklyn Catholic Church. Father Peter Chang, the first Chinese Catholic priest to visit the United States, sang Vespers last night at the Church of the Mest Holy Trinity, Montrose and Graham avenues, Williamsburg. More than two thousand persons crowded into the church, and it became necessary to call out the reserves from the Stagg street station to maintain order in the crowd which gathered outside the building.

Father Chang cannot speak English. Bishop Henninghaus, of the diocese of Scuthern China, preached the sermon in his stead. The bishop said that the first service held in his diocese was in a stable, and that the church organization had grown there until there were now 147 churches and chap els and 800 smaller places where services were held. In his diocese thera is a seminary where seventy-six Chinamen are being educated for the priesthood, and two hospitals. The diocesan au thorities publish a paper in Chinese.

“The Chinese nation will be a power within the next generation,” saia Bishop Henninghaus in clos ing his sermon. Father Chang intoned the service in a olear voice, supported by an extra choir under Professor Lyendecker. Iie were the Chinese queue. When a Tribune reporter sought an interview Father Chang spoke in German te Bishop Henninghaus, whe translated his words as follows:

“A Chinaman who accepts Christianity cuts him self off from position and money That is why our church in China is so poor. We also are ex cluded from all of the high offices of the empire when we accept Christianity, so we have to live solely for the higt ideals of the Church. Over one thousand of our converts were Kkilied in the Boxer uprising.” Father Chang will celebrate a solemn high mass at the Most Holy Trinity Church this morning at 3 o'clock. This mass wiil be the first ever cele brated by a Chinese Catholic priest in America. Manhattan and Brooklyn Saloons Get Bene fit of Williamsburg Drouth. Although yesterday was scheduled to be a “dry” Sunday, there wasn't any particular difficulty in gaining admittance to saloons In most parts of the city. Willlamshurg was closed up, after campaign on the part of the police that had been going on for several Sundays, but in Manhattan a close inspection of those who wanted to quench their thirst was the only sign of an increased respect for the law The number of arrests made was not large. Several saloons in Willlamsburg failed to close up at midnight on Saturday and number of ar rests were made. Windows were then arranged so that bars were plainly visible from the street, and “nothing doing” was the word that greeted the thirsty ones. A few saloons kept side doors open, but they were discouraged before noon by a fresh crop of arrests. The disappeinted ones found speedy comfort in Brooklyn, however, for there conditions were about the same as in Manhattan. William J. Carroll, 3 bartender in Michael Tier nap's saloon, at No. 2218 Fifth avenue, was ar rested last night, charged with violating the excise law and assaulting an officer. He was locked up in the East _26th street sttion. Plainclothes men said Carroll grabbed a bettle and “made a swipe” at one of them, and a scuffle followed in which the detective's hand was hadly cut.

Government Stands to Lose $860,000 May Acquire Grounds. Washington, March 29.—Treasury officials have reached the conclusion that the United States re celved a very thinly washed “gold brick” when it loaned a million dollars in real money on the gate receipts of the Jamestown Exposition. According to the expert accountants who have figured up the totals from the chaotic jumble of figures sub mitted by the officials of the “busted” show, the National Treasury now stands to lose a little more than $60,000. Contrary to the general belief, the government is not the preferred creditor of the exposition company, and cannot realize on the property which remains in possession of the bank rupt corporation. Congress loaned the money on the gate receipts, and as the gate receipts did not bring in enough to square the government's ac count, that ends it as far as the government is concerned. It has no lien upon the grounds, the heautiful exhibit buildings, or even upon the maz nificent permanent pier, which was built with gov ernment money. Unless it buys in the property, therefore, it looks very much as if «the government wore doomed to lose out altogether in the transac tion. “The hest thing for the government to do under the circumstances is to pay off the other cred tors and take over the property,” sald a Treas ury official. “There are about $750,000 of out standing debts due individuals and various con cerns by the exposition company. This amount is exclusive of the amounts contributed by the stock holders of the company, who will, of course, lose everything they paid in, no matter who buys the property. For this $730,000 the government will secure the grounds, a mile and a half of water front, and improvements which cost the exposition company more than a million and a quarter to make. The navy will always rendezvous at Hampton Roads. and there could be found no bet ter place for a naval training station than the exposition grounds. The permanent buildings erected by the exposition company would make splendid quarters for officers and men, and the waterfront and pler would just fit in with the scheme. I have no interest in the matter one way or another, for 1 have neither stock in the exposition company, friends in the corporation, nor claims against the concern, but it seems to ine that to adopt this plan would be the best way out

of a bad bargain. The court, which has appoint ed three receivers to take charge of the assets, has declared that the affairs of the company must be wound up immediately. It therefore behooves

the Naval Committee, which is considering the advisability of recommending the use of the site, to act one way or the other. Assistant Secretary Newberry, who is anxious to secure the grounds for a training station, has urged the members of the committee to advocate the purchase, but, of course, T am not in a position to know whether they will see it in the same light as he does.” The Navy Department is not sufficiently anxious to acquire the property to go on record as recom mending the purchase, but, at the same time, if the government acquires it and turns it over to the Navy Department profitable use can be made of the tract as a naval training station similar to that at Newport, and such as is contemplated at North Chicago, on lake Michigan. At present a branch of the naval training service is at the Norfolk Navy Yard, but there is really no special provision made for the care of the young men at that station. They are quartered mostly in tents when not on board the receiving ship Franklin. The Jamestown Exposition tract could be developed into a very extensive establishment, complete in all respects, with quarters and the facilittes of training, if a large expenditure should be author ized. The navy, however, wants so many other things which are of more immediate importance that no special recommendation will originate with the department respecting Jamestowi.

COMMITS MURDER AND SUICIDE. Vaudeville Actor Shoots Woman Companion and Himself. St. Paul, March 23.-William D. Trainor, thirty vears old, a vaudeville actor, and Mrs. Wililam P. Pryor, an actress, thirty-five years old, were found shot to death in their apartments at the Clarendon Hotel! early to-day by the night clerk of the hotel. He heard two shots, and rushing upstairs found Mrs. Pryor lving dead, shot through the temple. Traynor was shol in the back of the head, and died soon afterward.

A letter, found in the room, was full of promises, and had been sent by Traynor to Mrs. Pryor be fore she left her husband. It is believed by the police that the actress was reminding Traynor that he had not lived up to these promises, and that she was threatening to leave hun. This supposed quarrel and business reverses the police believe, caused Traynor to shoot Mrs. Pryor and himself.

Traynor and Mrs. Pryor appeared on the stage and registered at the hotel as “Traynor and Tray nor.” They had an engagement at the Unique Theatre, Minneapolis, three weeks lence, but had nothing in sight for the days intervening. Only $3 was found in ‘lraynor's pockets.

Coroner Miller learned that Traynor's home was in West Union, Ohio, and that he had appeared in vaudeville with a woman whose stage name was Mohler, and at another time with a woman whose stage name was Liovd.

200 DEFEND BLACK HAND LEADER. Preston, W. Va, March 29.-—James Facilo, al leged leader of a Black Hand society that has mulicted miners out of several thousands of dol lars in the last year, started to run when offi cers appeared at his home at Enterprise, near here, to-day. A bullet from Deputy Sheriff John son's gun lodged in his leg and he leaped into a pond. shouting for help. Twa hundred foreigners flourishing dirks and stilettos answered and at temupted to reseus Facile. The foreigners were without firezims, however, and when the officers drew their guns they retreated, [From The Tribune Bureau.) BUSINESS CODE MENACED. Central and South American Propo sition Stirs Business World. A concerted movement on the part of several states of Central and South America to obtain at the International Telegraph Conference, which is to be held at Lisbon, Portugal, beginning on May 4, an abrogation of the code system and the re turn to the old archaic rule limiting the code words to bona fide words taken from seven Euro pean languages, has aroused the large commercial «nd financial Institutions of this efty which trans act much of their foreign business by cable. The commercial interests of the United States, as well as England, France, Germany and all the other important nations of Furope, are opposing this movement of the Central and South American states. A petition signed by more than one hundred mer chants and bankers of this city has been for varded to Oscar 8 Straus, Secretary of Commerce and Labor, urging that a representative to the International Telegraph Conference be appointed to protect the commercial interests of America at that meeting. Among the bankers who signed the petition were August Belmont Co., Kuhn, Loeb Co., J. W. Seligman (Co., the National City Pank, by F. A. Vanderiip: H. B. Hollins Co., Lazard Freres, the Chase National Bank, Brown Brothers (to. and the Bank of British North America. The importers who signed the petition included W. R. Grace Co., Crossman Sielcken, H. W. Peabody Co. and D. A. de Lima Co.

The Chamber of Commerce of New York will, it is believed, take action at the meeting to be held on Wednesday urging that the code system be not changed at the coming conference. At these internation. telegraphic conferences, which are held every five years. all the nations of the world which operate telegraph lines get to gether to regulate the telegraph business, especial ly with regard to cable business.

Should the movement becoms successful the transaction of ousiness by means of cable will become more expensive. This Is what the Central and South American states desire to accomplish, believing that their revenues weuld be great.y en larged by increased telegraph tolls. Millions of dollars would be lost to foreign mer chants and bankers if the contemplated changes become operative. The representative of one big banking house of thi: city, in signing the petition, eaild that his firm had just completed the compila tion of 2 big new code book, which cost the firm $18,000. Another man representing a big institu tion, remarked as he signed the petition that the code books which cost the firm $25,000 to compile would become useless if the change were made in

Indianapolis, March 29. —After ten years’ leader ship of the United Mine Workers of America John Mitchell, on Tuesday, will retire from the head of that organization and will be succeeded by Thomas IL. Lewis, of Ohio. After Tuesday Mr. Mitchell will devote his time to regaining his health, which has given way under the strain of office. While Mr. Mitchell has been offered many positions of importance, he will undertake no work until his health ftmproves. It is reported that President Roosevelt has offered him a mis sion to Panama. and that the National Civic Fed eration wants to place him at the head of a bu reau to investigate and promote the use of trade agreements. He has also been offered positions of importance with correspondence schools, insur ance companies, banks and magazines, but he will make no decision for several weeks because of his health. The present mining contracts in all of the soft coal fields of the country will expire with the presidency of John Mitchell. Central Pennsyl vania is the only district that has a new con tract under which the miners can continue at work on April 1. The indications are that in nearly all other fields the mines will close on Tuesday night, not to open for several days, and in some flelds for several weeks. There is little likelihood of serious inecon venience to industrial activity, as the demand for coal is slack and considerable coal is on hand. Possibly in Indiana and Illinois the miners and operators may reach an agreement to operate the mines pending a settlement. It is likely that all mines in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Texas will close on Tuesday night for probably sixty days. The operation of the mines in Central Pennsylvania, however, makes a prolonged strike

tvaynirahabie ELECTRIC MERGER REPORT DENIED. A director and officer of the General Electric Company said last night that there was no founda tion for the report that negotiations were under way to absorb the Westinghouse Electric and Man ufacturing Company, which is in the hands of receivers. The speaker added that no conferences looking to this end had been held by interests rep resenting the two big electric companies, and said that the printed reports were made entirely “out of whole cloth.” No such a merger, he said, was nractical or contemplated.

TRIPLE DAMAGE RAILROAD ACT VOID. Elba, Ala., March 29.—Circuit Judge H. A. Pearce, of the 12th Alabam# Circuit, has declared the “threefold damage act” of the last legisiature unconstitutional. The act provided that a shipper whose goods were lost by a railroad could recover damages in three times their value. The decision was rendered in a suit against the Louisville Nashville Railroad. RAILROADS BEAT TEXAS COMMISSION Austin, Tex., March 23.—-District Judge Calhoun yesterday entered judgment for the railroads of Texas, in a suit brought by them against the Texas Railroad Commission to enjoin the latter's order with regard to the system of accounting to be used. The court holds that the order {s too arbitrary, and is also in conflict with the system promulgated by the Interstate Commerce Commission. THE PETROLEUM FIELDS The test well on the J King farm, on Big Branch, in the Duval district, Lincoln County, turned out to be almost a gusher, as the produc tion was 100 barrels the first thirteen hours after a shot. This gives a good deal of character to this district, and much interest is taken in some of the other wells now under way. Another test is being drilled on the Morrison farm 600 feet southwest of the Big Creek development, and several other tests have been commenced in this region. The Walton pool in the Walton district has also shown up with one or iwo good producers in the Big Injun sand. In other sections eof the lower southwest, hew ever, not much of interest or importance has transpired, and only the usual number of light producers or dry holes has been reported. Efforts to extend the Hmits of the Holidays Cove pool, in Brooke County, met with a check because of the total failure of the test on the Campbell farm. which turned out a duster. This well was about a mile north and west of developments in that pool, and It was hoped that {t might be productive ard open up a good stretch of territory in that di rection. In Southeastern Ohio only small producers or dusters have been reported for the last week. in the Oklahoma field there appears to be a fall ng off in production and the pipe line runs for the first half of March show a decrease of 6.000 barrels a day, and deliveries and tankage show a corre sponding decrease. Renewed activity is expected in the Illinois field, now that the weather condi tions are better and the roadways improving. By April 1 this section will probably be very busy. The Minnetonks il Company concluded a deal daring the last week whereby it transfers some eight thousand acres of preducing territory te the ‘Ohio Gil Company, containing 195 oil producing wells with a daily production of about five thous gand barrels. i

Washington, March 29.—The annual meeting of the American Tract Society was held this evening ir the Foundry Methodist Episcopal Church, the Rev. Dr. Moore pastor. Joseph V. Graaf, member of Congress from Illinois, made the address, his subject being “The Man with a Mission,” and the Rev. Dr. Judson Swift, field secretary, made a re port. The address eloquently and fully set forth the work of the tract society, especially In provid ing the literature and colporteurs among the Im migrants and the dissemination of Christian knowl edge throughout the world. The secretary said in 4 part: Happily we live in the hour when the nations of the earth are neighbors and the peace of the world seems assured. The open door invites entrance, and the opportunity for carrying Christian knowl edge to all the inhabitants of the earth awaits us. The hest literature that can be provided is in the greatest possible demand. There have been added to the society's list since the last report fiftv-nine new publications, representing -twelve different languages. The total number of languages, dia lects ana characters in which the society has published Christian truth is 174, and the grand total of all its publications in books, periodicals and leaflets from the home office alone is 762,867, 665 copies. The elporteurs have made 349,275 family visits aad distributed 72,266 volumes during the vear, making a total for sixty-six years of 18, 296.232 family visits and 16.723.724 volumes dis tributed, and 9,615,528 cases where prayer has been offered. The number of the immigrants arriving in the T'nited States for the last fiscal year reaches 1,. 285.000. The tract society's work among them has been found to be indispensable. It has been found impossible to carry forward the work in the island possessions successfully without the Spanish literature provided by the society. The tract society's needs are greater than ever before in its history. Not less than $126,000 should be received for the society's eurrent de mands, and $500,000 is required to launch a suffl ciently large movement for the production of a cemmon Christian literature tor the nonChris tian world. In the name of Him whose pierced hands plead for the uplift of humanity the Amer ican Tract Society makes its appeal.

The barrels were packed at the home of Miss Caroline Baker, in Joralemon street, and the different members contributed to the contents. Ome barrel contained some speeial gifts for a Virginia member from Mrs. Barbour, the president; other parcels of useful articles were contributed by Mrs. Collins, Mts. Halbert, Miss Abbott and Mrs. Hewitt, and some bore no names. The second barrel contained principally all kinds of men’s clothing, shoes, neckties, etc. This was an opnortune gift, as Mr. Gillpatrick, the head worker at the Chrystie Sireet Home—a T. 8.

REMOVING THE TRAINSHED AT GRAND CENTRAL STATION. Ww“ SEED A ON SRO IAN isi CC UOTE BSE OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS. THF TRIBUNE PATTERN NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MARTI 30, 1908. REMOVING TRAINSHED. How Structure at Grand Central Station Is Being Displaced. The thousands of commuters, not tn mention the unnumbered long distance travellers, who use the Grand Central Station every day have been aware for many months now that “something was Leing done’ by way of tearing down the trainshed; but the work has been going on so smoothly and there have been such slight evidences of anything out of the ordinary that probably ninety-nine men out of a hundred have no correct idea as to just what the New York Central is doing. This is be cause most persons are In a hurry both going and coming at a railroad station. It was announced at the offices of the road on Saturday, however, that one-half of the work of destruction had been completed, and that there fore the prospect of a new and larger station wus just so much nearer realization. And while the werk has been going on methodically the doing of it required some interesting feats in the gentle art of demolition. To remove a trainshed that is &#X feet long and feet high, not to mention 200 feet and 1 inch in diameter, is a job that would puzzle even those East Side “loft thieves,” who are reputed to be able to take anything except a red hot stove. In “getting away with” the trainshed the New York (Central engineers constructed a “traveller,” which is a great structure of wood that fits under the trainshed. The “traveller” is a support that holds up the iron and glass arch and prevents it from falling when sections are cut out of it. The ‘traveller’ may be seen in the photograph re produced herewith, and while it looks flimsy in ccmparison with the ironwcrk behind it there are sixty-five tons of bolts used in holding this wooden structure together. The “traveller” lives up to its name by reason of five great iron wheels that bear it on as many tracks. Thus, the “trav eller’ started three hundred feet from {ts present site, and as the trainshed was lopped off !n slices ten feet deep the “traveller” was edged back ten feet at a time by means of jacks. In connection with the old trainshed there are gome interesting statistics. It was built fn 1879, ana all the ifronwerk came frcm England. There were in it 1,350 tons of wrought iron and 30 tons of cast iron. The roofing required $090 square feet of corrugated iron and approximately two acres of glass. Besides, in the construction were 50,00 bricks. In taking down all this material the workmen perched on the semicircle of the “traveller mage eight cuts ‘n the huge ribs of thie shed and each slice comes down separataly. «and, meanwhile,” said J. C. Hammond, of the company. “remember that there are 1,07 trains running in and out of this station every day. So far as the running time goes th: tearing down has no effect.” BANKERS’ TRUST ENDS FIFTH YEAR.

i 1 MR. GARNER DEFENDS HIMSELF. Objects to Being Put in “Nature Faker” Class by Curator Smith. L 3 3

To the Editor of The Tribune. To the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: I desire to speak a few lines through your journalistic megaphone apropos of a paragraph which I 8nd in the columns of “The Boston Her ald” of November 12 last, which, by reason of long distance and slow malls has just reached me. i Ed YY The statement referred to says that I have sent a message home that I am now able to converse with monkeys, etc., and that Curator Smith, of the New York Muszeum of Natural History, has pro claimed me one of the “nature faker’ class, etc. In the first place, I beg to state that I have sent no message home or elsewhere as to what I am doing or leaving undone in the way of studying the speech of monkeys. Moreover, neither Cu rator Smith nor curator any one else is competent to form or is entitled to express any opinion upon the subject of faking or fact until he knows more about the subject than he is likely ever to learn from a lot of mummified monkeys in a museum. é i iy

4 i t No man engaged in original reasearch has given to the world more substantial evidence of his per sistence, more undeniable proof of his self-devotion to purpose or more careful and conservative re ports of his progress than I have done for nearly twenty consecutive vears, and no man is more wili ing than I am to have his work thoroughly ex amined and criticised by candid and competent critics, but the calumnies of creoakers who only live upon the dry bones of information gleaned from books that other people have written I re sent as insolence. 1 vii EL

3 vith all due respect to the profession of zoology, and not forgetful of the fact that I have many sincere and unselfish friends among them, I must say that 1 know of no ciass of scientific men who really know less of all phases of their subject than those engaged in museum work, and at the same time I Know of no other branch of science in which there is so much unpardonable bigotry. If the alleged curator could be induced to forego for a time the luxuries of a library, to which he has probably never contributed one new fact, and place himself under my guidance for a few days, I hereby commit myself to the promise that I will show him some new facts of nature that hes can uever learn from his kiln-dried specimens nnd siuffed skins ¢f monkeys. I will convince him that even a curator of such wares does not know everything and that his library does not contain everything that can be learned. Of course, I do not expect Curator Smith to take the steps here suggested, neither do I expect him to change his prejudices, nor even to be more just or courteous in his language. I only mean to say to the same audience of my own country people through the same medium of the press that envy, jealousy and malice are the sole motives that in spire Curator Smith's slanderous and unmanly epithets. I have no fear of his calumny defeating my purpose, for if the monkeys here were aware of it they would scarcely econdescend to resent it; and as to injuring my name in civilization, I have the vanity to believe that my reputation as a man who has conscientiously sought to contribute new truths to science, and succeeded in so do ing, will be familiar to posterity long after 1 rame of Curator Bmith shall have been expunged from the roster eof curatorial grandeur. R. L. GARNER. American Point, Fernan Vaz, Congo Frangais, est Central Africa. Feb, 2, B, I’ TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MARUI 20, 1908. REPLY TO DR. HALL. Despite “Feminizing,” Boys of To day Are Manly. tha TAitar Af Tha Trihimmea To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: Dr. G. Stanley Hall, writing in The Tribune Sunday Magazine, disapproves of the “feminizing” influence of women upon the young male of the species. This idea fs a little belated. Dr. Hall should have instructed the Creator when the hu man race was placed upon the earth. He should have told Him that mothers were a mistake. Also, in the construction of society by nature and civilization, he should have eliminated the girl She has been popularly supposed to civilize the boy. Dr. Hall has discovered that she feminizes him. Men and women of the normal type have always had a tendency tn like one another, in spite of ail that a few disgruntled mortals have to say about their eternal antagonism. The way they poke fun at one another is enough to prove the liking. We 4 never criticise our enemies after a humorous fash ion. If we are born to like one another, then we aré born to do one another good, especially if we have complementary traits. It has been pretty well proved that the quality women most admire in men is power, manifested in one form or another. If that be so, the influence of weman should foster power in the man. Dr. Hall says that women are not in sympathy with war. Ye gods! The saying needs no refuta tion. To state it is to refute it. It may be said, however, that from time immemorial woman has bowed down before a uniform, and has thrust the sword into the hand of man (ves, even if the hand were reluctant), with readiness to bear bereave ment and deprivation—anything—so only her be lecved should prove himself no coward. A woman wrote ‘“‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic”; a woman of exceptional talent, but not of =xceptional feeling. Any woman alive at the time on the Union side would have been glad to be able to write it Dr. Hall does not like a bey who is a “perfect gentleman.” This dependp on the definition of the word “gentleman.” It means originally a person of quality, presumably a man of deeds. It pre supposes strength, since rudeness is “essentially weak. The motto of the gentleman is ‘“‘noblesse oblige.” St. Paul exhorts to eourtesy as a part of his ideal Christianity. which was not a weak ideal, since he himself was nothing if not strong. If a gentleman is all this, a bey can hardly begin to be one too early. If Dr. Hall's ld=al is the op posite of a perfect gentleman he can find it among the gangs on the East Side of New York. To be brutal is fatally easy for the untutored male, and to de socially awkward is not difficult. As a rule, the finest gentlemen make tug best soldiers, and good soldiers are almost invariably courteous and gentle in manner. But why is Dr. Hall pessimistic about the present generation of boys? Never—so t seems to the writer—was there a cleaner, straighter, stronger and more manly set of youngsters growing up to manhood than at present. And yet few have been subjected to the discipline of the rod, though they may have served an apprenticeship with the ma ternal slipper. Whatever dangers may lurk in the practise of co-education or the influence of the woman teacher, the boys seem (0 have escaped any serious demeralization. They are a pretty good lot on the whole. Why not let well enough alone? Since the mother and the girl must forever be a part of every normal boy's existence, it is difficult to see how he can altogether escape from the con tact of the Ewig-weibliche. MC S East Orange, N.

Portu guese politics was disturbed by the announce ment that Franco, the former diciator, was 10 fight the old parties mm the coming electipns.

DOMESTIC —Governor Hughes at Albany de nied the application for a reprieve for Chester Gillette and preparations for the latter's execu tion to-day were completed at Auburn Stata Prison. It was said in Albany that Civil Service reformers were much stirred up over the appearance on the calendars of both houses this week of the Cobb-Fowler constitutional amendment in zid of Spanish War veterans. Indications pointed to the declaration of a strike by the coal miners of the Pittsburg dis trict. It was said in St. Louis that Thomas E.

It was said in Washington that recent deficits In the postal revenues were not due to rural delivery expenses.

CITY.—The police were inclined to belleve that the victim of the Union Square bomb thrower on Saturday was an innocent by stander. 1obert Hunter repeated his at tack on the police because of their treatment of the I'nion Square crowd. The socialist committee gave out a statement, saying the police provoked the bomb throwing. The National Civil Service Reform league in 2a pamphlet attacked +he Crumpacker census bill.

The Japanese government. if we may judge from the reports of its Foreign Ainister's state ment last week, does not regard the dispute over the Northern Chinese Railroad in Man churia as an issue between the two countries, but rather as a closed case. As for the protest which some British merchants at Tien-Tsin and New-Chwang have just made against Japan's conduct in the matter, it is not likely to have much gffect, since the British government also has intimated its inclination to regard the case as closed. or as one in which it is not concerned, ard it will scarcely reconsider that view of it unless some evidence or developments are re poried such as there now secs to be no reason to expect. If the British governinent would not intervene in behalf of British contractors who were to have built the road and whose contracts bed been arbitrarily voided at Japanese dicta tion. it cannot be expected to do so in behalf of sperchants whose interest is far less direct, who hzve no contracts at stake, and whose welfare may reaily not be impaired at all by the action of Japan.

The dispute concerns only some fifty miles of railroad and a city of about forty thousand in habitants. The Southern Manchurian Railroad, under Japanese control, extends from Port Ar thur and Tairen northward past New-Chwaag to Moukden and Harbin, at which latter place it connects with the Russian Transsiberian Reilroad. The Northern Chinese Railroad, un der Chinese control, extends from Tien-Tsin tlong the other shore of the Guif of Liao-Tong and the other side of the Liao Valley to Kin Chow znd Hsin-Min-Tung, only thiriy-eight miles northwest of Moukden. Thus far the two roads are pretty nearly parallel, but are so far apart and so completely separated by gulf and river that neither interferes with the traffic of the other. Near New-thwang they are con nected by a short cross road. But the Chinese recently proposed to extend their road northeast fifty miles further to Fakumen, parallel wiih the Japanese road at a distance of from twenty-five to forty miles and in direct competition with it for the traffic of the upper Liao Valler. The Japanese objected to this and insisted that in stead of running up to Fakumen the Chinese road should be built across from iIsin-Min-Tung to Moukden, there to connect with the Japanese road. That will leave Fakumen, having forty thousand inhabitants, with no railroad nearer than the Japanese line, thirty miles away. On ihe other hand, it will put Tien-Tsin, Peking

sad all that part of China in more direct con "4 musemenls. nection with the Manchurian and Siberian rafl road systems than they now are by the way of New-Chwang. aE The Japanese veto of the railroad to Faku men, which will probably prove conclusive, is hased upon a secret protocol to the treaty of 1905 between China and Japan, which provides, according to the Japanese interpretation, that Japan shall have power to prohibit the bullding of any Chinese railroad which in Japan's opin ion would be detrimental to the Southern Man churian Railroad. Of ccurse, the Chinese, and also the British contractors who were to have built the road to Fakumen, protest that the proposed extension would not hurt the Japan ese road in the least degree. That is a matter of opinion on which competent authorities might well disagree. But according to the “protgeol Japan appears to have the right to decide it for herself. T'nless, therefore, it can be shown that the enforcement of Japan's pretensions will violate other international obligations or trav erse the treaty rights of other powers, no pro test against the Japanese policy is likely to be offortive Of the questions suggested by the bomb throwing and the other incidents in Union Square on Sawmrday probably the larger one is what should he the policy of the authorities toward the holding of such gatherings or pa rades in the public parks or streets. The same question arese in Chicago and Philadelphia, where, as here, the socialists have sought to use the unemployed as an ocular demonstra tion that economic society is out of joint, and in both places the city authorities refused to permit the demonstration and a clash resulted. It is argued, on the one hand, that to allow such a gathering is to run the risk of a turbulent outbreak which may get beyond the control of the police, and that it is better to prevent suci ‘danger in its inception. On the other, it is said ‘that this repressive policy only stimulates the spirit of riot, that these people only gather to ‘gether to “protest against oppression” and if ‘they are not interfered with their protests lose half their point, even in their own minds, and, “having blown off steam,” they become less harmful. Certain it is that in London and Paris the authorities permit such demonstra tions, and with no worse results than occur from the opposite policy in this city, though the radical elements are more numerous and powerful abroad than here. At any rate, which ever policy is better, there can be no defence of the Park Commissioner's first granting and then cancelling the permit for the socialist con ference. Such vacillation ean only create the Sprastion of timidity in the minds of those who like to fill the air with talk of revolution. When the permit was once granted it ought not to have been revoked. In this particular instance, however, it oe apparent that the refusal of the authorities to ‘permit the conference had nothing to do with ihe bomb throwing. The man or men whe ade the bomb planned assassination in ad vance. The bomb was ready beforehand to be thrown because he or they thought the meeting ‘or the attempt at a meeting in Union Square

t

would afford a spectacular opportunity to call attention once more to anarchy’s well known views about organized society. Surely to the bomb thrower's mind this refusal of the au thorities to allow a public meeting in Union Square and the dispersal of the crowds thence by the police were of little account among all the “accumulated wrongs of government.” Whether the promoters of the meeting were permitted or not to voice their protest against society, he was determined to enter a really effective one with his dynamite. Like all the crimes of the anarchists, this one was without rhyme or reason. The bomb was to be thrown, no matter what the police did. And it is this utter lack of reason which makes anarchy so hard to deal with. It is never possible to anticipate its outbreaks, be cause it never has anything to gain by its crimes. It is possible to guard against erime that is logical or that is moved by reasonable scif-interest, but there is no logic in bomb throwing. Every once in so often among the ‘many men who brood too much over social dis orders or talk teo much over the coming revo lution a man or a group of men suddenly de termine to commit some striking crime as a “protest” against society. They kill a ruler who is no different from other rulers and who is absclutely sure to be succeeded by another like himself. They murder a priest at the altar ‘not because he has ever done anything to of fend them. They attack a chief of police for ‘nothing that any one can find out. They .x plode a bomb amidst a number of innocent and 'unoffending men. They assert their opposition to organized society, but none of these deeds affects or is even remotely likely to affect the organiz «tion of society. They seem to be ‘moved by a sort of vanity for reminding so ciety with sensational publicity of its dangers and for showing now and then that their threats of revolution are not all empty air. On the problem of anticipating and guarding against the -moments when the incessant talk of “revolution” indulged in not by the anar chists alone will lead hotheads or vain fools to the use of dynamite, unfortunately this Union Square incident sheds no light. 1

Few persons nowadays care to go on lecture tours through this country demonstrating the improvriety of murder, ‘he advantages of wear ing clothes in winter, the usefulness of arith metic or the unpleasantness of dyspepsia. Any body deeply moved to expatiate upon such topics prefers an audience of Hottentots or Patago nians, who are likely to listen more attentively and to derive greater benefits from the addresses than an American gathering would. Now and then. though, a practical joker likes to puzzle his fellow citizens by urging them solemnly to go forth and do precisely what they have ail been doing since they abandoned knee breeches. As Professor Charles Zueblin knows, this merry jest works best when sandwiched In between original, pointed and opportune remarks, being there wholly unexpected. Ile gave amateurs a charming illustration of the way to turn the trick in his Jecture to the League for Political Education last Thursday morning. The last man in “Who's Who" soberly dilated upon the dangers of thrift and the superior investment value of public expenditures. Touching the first point, the eminent sociologist said:

Saving is more dangerous than spending. The French peasant who can live decently on nothing a year and Markhamn's “Man with the Hoe” are not individuals to be emulated. Thrift leads often to a life that is not admirable. The conditions of the early dwellers in New Eng land made the splendid qualities of Puritanism, but they also created qualities which were a menace to society, and the Puritan conscience was one of them. Too much saving is for the individual advantage but for the public disad vantage. If all the people put their money away investments would be of no account. Thrift may lead to niggardliness. It eats into the character. Even beginning with saving for the family, it ends in neglecting the family to save. We must save something, but it is a constant danger. These words were delivered in such a manner that the audience, even down to the reporters, fancied they were listening to a revolutionist who would have them twin old virtues into new

vices. Not antil the hall was emptied did any body realize that Professor Zueblin had been exhorting the oue great (hrift fearing nation to of thrift. Ere this, we trust, all the victims of this innocent practical joke have “caught on.” They inust perceive that the so ciologist was “playing horse” with them when he laid bare the perils of thrift before the eves of a nation which is so averse to hoarding that iis citizens spend $2 for a 50-cent lobster, pay Havana prices for Pennsylvania stogies, drink THF I'NION SROUARE BOMB.

TRIBUNE, NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1908. nearly twenty-five gallons of liquor per capita annually, “blow” perhaps $500,000,000 in pleas ure trips and the inevitable souvenir buying every year, and support more “swell” tailors, milliners and jeweliers than all the combined niggards of Europe. The people of this proud land need urging and instruction to learn the miser's dreadful lot about as much as a tenyear old boy needs to be begulled Into eating a hot mince ple. We know instinctively that the gold eagle must have dally exercise and we keep him moving so fast that his talons are calloused. Professor Zueblin's second jest wes even more clever: With all our corruption we get our money's worth more nearly through public than through private spending. Our streets are cleaned very badly, but we know when the work is badly done, and once in a wkile we do rise up and de mand improvement. But who knows anything about the leakage at our kitchen doors? Probably half his audience gasped at this aundacions suggestion, and some may even have suspected that the utterance of such an indefen sible heresy had something to do with the pro fessor's resignation from the Chicago University faculty only last week. How can a Chicago man extol public financiering at a moment when even the “mode! water department” of his own town appears to be a proper object of attack? And vet Professor Zueblin is only preaching the ob vious. Whether with full consciousness or nof, Americans have always felt that public spend ing yields the highest returns in fun, instruction and warning; and just to prove their faith they give carte blanche to every aspiring statesman for the purchase of submarine parks and $2.000 hootblack stands. The “leakage at our kitchen doors” is doubtless greater than that in public offices but it is a peor investment, because only the servant girls get any fun out of it. In his second preachment, therefore, Professor Zueblin has again proved himself a humorist of the first order by seeking the conversion of all men to

their own deepest belief. What has become of all the talk at Albany of an investigation Into the deeds and mis deeds of Attorney General Jackson? A few days ago columns of correspondence came forth from the State Capitol about the raking ex amination to which the Attorney General's office was to be subjected. Senators were speechifying and “consenting to be inter viewed” at great length. Much discussion went on as to the relative merits of various sug gested modes of procedure. Should there be a joint investigating committee? Should the As sembly move at once to impeachment and the Senate to a solemn and impressive trial? What action would the Governor be likely to take? At any rate, and however these questions were answered, there must be an Investigation!

And now utter silence pervades Albany re garding this great subject. Not whisper Is heard about an investigation. Has the con vietion gradually dawned in the minds of the elder statesmen that such an Inquiry would be too much in the nature of a coroner's inquest? We hear that Mr. Hearst's Independence party has abandoned such natural claims as it pos sesses in this emergency in favor of the polit ical Potter's Fleld. The waging of a military and sclentiflc cam paign against mosquitoes once titillated the sense of humor. But it soon proved efficacious for the suppression of one of the most dreaded of tropical diseases. That achievement was as memorable and creditable as any has been In all the fine history of the American army and the medical service. Now the Public Health Eer vice at Washington has ordered what seems like a preliminary reconnoissance for a similar cam palgn against the flea, and while that fact nat urally gives rise to humorous comment, its prac tical results are likely to be beneficent.

The principal indictment against the flea is that it is the partner of the rat in the propaga tion of the bubonic plague, and is, indeed, the more guilty of the two. It is perfectly well es tablished that the bacillus of the plague exists in rats of a certain breed. These rats are in fested with fleas. which by their biting transfor the disease germs to other rate. When the rats die the fleas desert their bodies for other rats or for human beings. So the fleas are the essen tia] factors In conveying the plague virus to men, and it is possible that they convey it from one man to another, from a plague patient to a healthy man, without the co-operation of rats at all.

For this one reason if for no other the eXter mination of fleas, so far as it might be possible, wouid be a highly desirable thing. There is no longer any fear of the bubonic plague becoming another “black death.” at least in civilized lands. It is now too weli understood. But in India and elsewhere it has become endemic, and in other countries, even our own, cases of it occur with apparently Invincible persistence. For its sup pression, as well as for other reasons, wide spread campaigns against rats have been organ ized with promising success. It will be well to have also similar campaigns against fleas. It is by no means improbable that other pes tilences than bubonic plague are propagated through this agile medium. There is reason to suspect that any disease the bacteria of which are in the blood may thus be conveyed. It will be interesting to observe the results of re searches into the relation of fleas to typhus, leprosy and other plagues which prevail among squalid and vermin infested people. RUSSIA'S MILITARY NERVICES There ought to be less ground than heretofore in the Russian military services for the his toric complaint at Benny Haveus's “promotion’s very slow.” Court martial and imprisonment, fatal duels, suicides and enforced resignations are removing many of the veteran officers of the war with Japan and are making room for new men to come forward. It is a depressing spectacle to the world, of course, this condemn ing unsuccessful generals to death ‘to encour age the others,” but we suppose it is necessary under Russian military law. Whether it will permanently and materially improve the qual ity of the army and navy is another question, to which the judicious will not hastily give an affirmative answer. 7

Readers of the reports of the investigations inte the doings of Stoessel, Rojestvensky and other once distinguished and honored officers are impressed with what seems like the rottenness of the services. Jealousles, intrigues. sordid self-seeking, peculation and corruption of ail kinds seem to have run riot from Cronstadt to Port Arthur and to have been largely respon sible for the appalling disasters which attended the efforts of Russian arms against a once de spiced opponent. But readers of the history of more than a century ago will perceive that these are no new things. The time of Cath erine 11 differed from that of Nicholas II in chronology, but not in the ethics of public ser vice. John Paul Jones found the Russian naval service so honeyveombed with corruption that neither he nor any man of honor and honesty could remain in it—orruption of precisely the game kinds which are now expesed. Nor were the closing years of the eighteenth and the opening years of the twentieth century unique in that respect.

It is an Interesting theme for speculation, this prevalence of disloyalty and dishonesty in those services which are supposed to be the very ciiadels of the highest loyalty and the purest honor. Of course other lands have had sporgdic cases of the same kind, even our own; but nowhere else have they approached so closely to being endemic as in Russia. It would be a monstrous thing to attribute this state €f 403i: to the genius of the Russian people, Tl, We believe, are as capable of A CROWNER'S OU ERKRT. FILLEAR. possessing the noblest attributes as any peo ple In the world. But we cannot avoid the query whether there is not something in the Russian “system,” In the autocracy and bureau racy and immeasurable separation of the classes from the masses, which contributes toward this deplorable end. It seems quite possible thgt such Is the case, and that in the divorce of the governing few from the governed multitudes are !mplanted the seeds of that selfishness and disregard of the general welfare which seem to have sprung up so rankly in the lives of en many Russian officers. MONEY AND BURINESS. of securities last week, and at times the volume of business rose to normal. In so far as the transactions represented absorption by in vestors in anticipation of quarterly dividend distribution the movement was healthy and may be maintained, but a large percentage of the business is still professional and confined to a few stocks that have been skilfully manipu lated. Business of this character is readily dis cerned when prices reach a point at which pools are unloaded, the buying power of the market being insufficient to absorb much stock without weakening materially. Sc=timent in Wall Street was undoubtedly improved by rumors that favorable developments were assured In Washington, and these expectations were fully realized. A natural setback occurred when the proposed Union Pacific bond issue was an nounced, as that stock had led in the upward movement with an advance of more than fifteen points. Yet the general feellng was so much better that another rally soon started, and the sixty most active railway shares averaged about £2 higher for the week, many stocks establishing new records for 1908, and the whole list has now advanced about £8 for railways, £10 for in dustrials and $17 for gas and traction stocks above the lowest point touched in November. Heavy profit taking sales made the week close slightly below the best position, but the reaction was not severe. Substantial net gains were recorded in prices

Scarcely any pressure occurred in the money market on account of preparation for April divi dend and interest payments, although the sum involved will probably amount to about £130. 000.000. Ts is gratifying to find that the sum distributed will almost equal the record figures of the first quarter last year. This operation will be financed without difficulty because of the large accumulation of cash in the banks, latest statements showing the usual results after a severe monetary disturbance. Funds are also piling up in institutions at other cities, and re ceipts from the interior continue large, whila government disbursements steadily exceed re ceipts. On these regular Treasury operations there appears a deficit of over $0,000,000 in four weeks of March, and {t is probable that another call will soon be made on the national banks for the return of public funds, of which about 340, 000,000 more are still on deposit than at this date last year. The banks are strengthening their positions involuntarily, chiefly because the smaller volume of trade and speculation has made a light drain on their resources of late, although to some extent the curtailed

loans are still due to extreme conserva tism in exteading accommodation. Read ily marketed Stock Exchange collateral is ac

Nevertheless, conditions are improving in trade and industry, insolvency returns for March mak ing a better exhibit than in any month since the panic, and further improvement is confidently expected. An early spring is accelerating the distribution of seasonable merchandise, and as Jarger payments are made in retail channels there should be more prompt collections all along the line. In many cases extensions are still asked, but pressura for collections diminishes as creditors feel increasing confidence that broaden {hg trade vill soon facilitate settlements. Senti ment {s also improved by favorable dispatcaes regarding the progress of the crops, although it is much too soon for definite information on the subject. Yet the early start in many sections encourages expectation of large production, and several factors contribute to the promise of an unusually large acreage this year. This is espe cially true of grain, which is almost tha only class of staple commodities that still sells far above the level of a year ago. Jobbing and wholesale trade is beginning to feel the stimulus of supplementary orders, rendered necessary by the conservative manner in which retallers pre rared for spring and summer business. Neaever theless, the same caution is now displayed re garding initial contracts for the more remote de liveries of fall and winter goods.

At the commodity exchanges the condition of most interest has been the pronounced weak ness of cotton, which now sells fully half a cent a pound lower than a year ago, while the de

crease in exports is discouraging in conjunction with the curtailment of domestic spinning. Re ceipts are light, but the trade seems convinced that there is still much cotton to come into sight, and no aggressive manipulation is at tempted by the long account, despite the belief that a large short interest has developed during the severe decline. Last week's cotton eSports were less than one-third those of the same week of 1907, a feature of too much weight to be ignored. Net changes in the wheat market are

small, although shipments abroad have also fallen to the lowest point of the season, but foreign demand is not the dominant element in grain this year. Statistics of supply do not promise any large quantity for export in addi

tion to the 140,000,000 bushels that the next

official report will show were sent abroad in nine months of the crop year. The prospect for increased manufacturing ac tivity is brighter as the beginning of April ap proaches, without indications that proposed re ductions in wages will start serious labor dis putes. Cotton spinners will increase the size of forces at a general cut of 10 per cent in wages, and with the recent fall in price of raw material may be able to cheapen the product sufficiently to revive the interest of buvers in the primary markets. Some varieties of foot wear were reduced In price, and that industry also exhibits more animation, although current demand is almost wholly for {an goods. Some steel mills are receiving fair orders, but the rajl ways will not place contracts freely until earn ings cease to show losses of 13 per cent as

New Jersey owns a part of the shore of New York Bay, just as much as New York does, and has the sams natural right of drainage Into that water.

A method of converting natural gas into alcohol is announced by Dr. Henry Spencer Blackmore, of Washington. “I have devised,” says Dr. Black mora, “a process of converting natural gas, which rontains on an averags 3 per cent methane, into alcohol by the action of limited portions of oxygen or alr in the presence of a heat absorbing fluid, such as steam, which prevents complete combus tion and maintains the temperatura below the decomposing point of alcohol, the oxidation being indured and maintained by passing the gaseous ingredients through an electrically heated gauze.

If tha combustion is properly regulated and con trolled, 5.000 feet of natural gas will produce ap proximately fifty gallons of alcohol, and as natural gas can be readily obtained in unlimited gquanti ties at from 5 to 10 cents a thousand feet it fol lows that the cost cf fifty gallons of alcohol pro duced In this manner would be only 25 to 50 cents for raw material.”

“What is ‘untold wealth’ pa? hl 4The property you keep out of the tax list Harper's eekly. Tha question whether it is better to wind a watch at night or in the morning was discussed at a recent meeting of the British Watch and Clock Makers’ Gulld. *““The London Express” took up the subject and obtained the views of George Russell, an expert on timepieces. “Given a good watch, it does not matter in the least whether vou wind it at night or {in the morning,” he told tha reporter. “But a watch never keeps the same time wher the position is constantly altered. Watches which are sent to Kew and which are tested in several positions rarely keep the same time. The moral to ba drawn, therefore, is kaep vour watch as much as possible in the position In which you wear it during the day. In other words, hang your watch up at night.”

Commenting on the thrifty habits of the late Commodore Vanderbilt, a correspondent of The Tribune tells a story whieh he savs “goes back more than forty vears, but may be told again on that account.” For years Mr. Vanderbilt went to Sara toga every year and spent hours every day on the Congress Hall porch smoking. “My brother,” says the story teller, “who lived near the Springs, loved horses and used to drive to the village and go to the Congress and listen to thea Vanderbilt horsetallk. Ona day he noticed a blg darning needle stuck through the lapel of the great railroad man's coat, and in wondering what it was there for missed much of the conversation. Its use davel cped when the Vanderbilt cigar became too short to be held by the fingers with comfort or safety to the smoker. Then the stump was speared by the needle and held for furthe§y incineration. Aided by the darning needle the cigar was smoked to tie bitter—to him sweet—end. And he was not the least bit ashamed to let people see him make use of the damning needle.”

INCOME OF RECENT YALE GRADUATES. &rom 1he Yale Alumni Weekly. The first definite answer to the question pro pounded in “The Alumni Weekly several weeks ago as to the average salaries of Yale graduates has come in the form of roughly tabulated sta tistics from the secretary of the Class of In a circular letter to the members of the class sent out last fall one of the questions asked was the Yearly salary or income earned. The question ex cluded paternal or other allowances or income by inheritance and referred merely to the personal earnings of the individuals in question.

In one hundred and fifty answers to the question In the Class of 190%. fifty-two men had no personally earned income during the first year out of college; forty-seven men had an income under $10», and forty-one men hac an income of over $10. For the second year «in figuring for the salary fer which estimates for the last three montis had to be given, based as accurately as possible upon the present rate of salary or income), forty-five men were receiving no salary; eighteen men were re ceiving less than $1,.w0, and seventy-three men over $1,000. The greatest amount reported as earned by one man during the first year out of college was $3,500, earned in insurance.

So many members of the class are still engaged in professional study that no “average salary can be figured for the entire class for either of the first two vears out of college. Let me cite a single axampla of the astound ing lack of laws in Cuba. there was no sanitary code whatever. hi A CUT IN SAILORS WAGES. ram Tha Boston Transcript. A A%ES AE AN The bark Boy Iston lies i at anchor in the harbor awaiting a favorable opportunity to get away for a tr to Port Jobos, Porto Rico, having on board the military administration of General wood great work was done for sanitation bY Gorgas, but no civil laws on the subject enacted.

President Palma urged the Congress to enact sanitary code under which Colonel Gorgas® work might be continued. but the Congress 1% The fact is that for the first time in months there are many more sailors looking for berths than there are berths to fill, which 13 due to the tremendous slump in the offering of freights of sailing vessels.

At fused, or at any rate failed to do so. Of cours® in the absence of sanitary laws the sanitary ou dition of the island declined.

ITS PROMISE OF SUCCESS, CUBA'S NEW ERA. ITS PROMISE OF SUCCESS, Governor Magoon’s Work for the Redemption of the Island, A IN RNG by one of the chief political parties of Cuba Jasg week 1s a sharp reminder of the beginning 8 the end of the second American occupatlon op that island and of the near approach of the gas, ond attempt of the Cuban peoples at self. of a Presidential ment. This impending change in the of the island is regarded on both sides very gp, ferently from the nominally eo change in 1902. The Cubans are not nearly 3 eager for it nor as enthusiastic over it as they were six years ago, and it Is not to be denied that many Americans are far less hopefy] the success of Cuban autonomy now than they were when it was first attempted. Yet to not few thoughtful observers of tha inanlar situation both of these changes of opinion seem mistaken, and there appears to be considerably Increagedq cause for Cuban exultation in the prospect of restored autonomy and for American confid in the success of the experiment, and that is os cause of the remarkable work which has and is being dona by the Provisional Governop during the present American occupation, The cables some time ago reported the sxe traordirary character of the public welcome which was given to Mr. Magoon on his returg to Havana from Washington, probably tha mesg general, sincere, spontaneous and enthustastig welcome ever given to any man in the history of the island. That was significant of sevaral things. One was the personal regard which ig felt for the Governor as a man. Another wag the relief and gratification which were fafy 28 his return after it had been rumored and fearsq that he would remain at Washington and somes one else would be gent in his place. A third wag the appreciation which people of all classes ig Cuba cherish of the great work which he ig doing for them, a work, as ws shall ges unique in the history of the island. It maye added that the joyousness of the welcoms wag however, tirged with a certain sadness 24 perhaps some apprehension, for it was realipd that he had come not to stay long hut to finisg up his work and leave the island within a year The fact is not to ba concealed that many Cg bans regret this prospect. Some wonld lige tp have perpetual American Intervention, if Mr Magoon or his counterpart could be kept at the Palace. Many more think that the period of the present intervention should be prolonged fop another year.

One of the foremost public men In Cuba, ang one whose appreciation of all phases of the Cuban situation is unsurpassed and whosa judg mént is of rare excellence, expressed to me very strongly the other day his conviction that the present intervention should be prolongzeq until May 20, 1910, or more than a year lonzepr. than is now intended. His argument was that as the American Provisional Governor took the place of Estrada Palma, who had resigned the Presidency early in his second term, he should fill Mr. Palma’s place for the remainder of that term, to wit, to the date named, instead of re tiring before that time and thus compelling the Cubans either to change the time of the be ginning of Presidential terms or to elset 3 President for only a fraction of a term His plan was for the municipal elections to be held first, some time this spring or summer Naxt the provincial elections should be held, next fal} or winter. Then, about the time now set for American withdrawal, a new Cuban Congress should be elected, and should hold its first ses sion under Mr. Magcon's governorship. It would, my friend urged, be an inestimably val uable experience for the Cuban legislators to work under or in conjunction with the Ameri can Executive. Finally, in the fall of next year a President should be elected, who should taks office on May 20, 1513. Undoubtedly thers i much to be sald in favor of that programmes, and many will regret that it has not been adopted. But since it has not been and appar ently will not be, the next best thing is being done. The most careful and thorough prepara tions are being made for the change of gove ernment in February of next year.

The most necessary and essential work of! preparation—and the one the neglect of which was the chief cause of the downfall of the sec ond Palma administration and of the American intervention—is the making of fundamental laws for the carrying out of constitutional pro visions. That is the work with which Mr Magoen has been and is most occupied. He ig making the laws with the aid of various com= missions which he has appointed for the purpose, but practically he is making them by execu tive order, just as in Russia laws used to be made by the decreas of the Czar. This is, of course, necessary, since there is no other law making power in the island, and it would be fatal folly to repeat the biunder of 1902 and leave law-making to be done by the Congress which is to be elected. It was the lack of lav which caused the trouble of two years ago, and it will be the provision of laws which will—if anything will—save Cuba from a repstition of that experience. For we must remember that Cuba has down to the present heen probablf more destitute of laws, or of laws made for ard land in the world. In all the ages of Spanisk sovereignty its laws were made at Madrid and they were simply the laws of the Iberian Penii= sula, often grotesquely inapplicable to the island, or if any were made specially for Cubs they were for its oppression. During the nearly four years of the former American cccupaths and administration no permanent laws Wer made. The island was splendidly administered in many respects, but it was administered ul« der military law, and when the military §o7< ernor withdrew it was left without a code I% May, 1302, the native government came int®

Mr. Magoon has already supplied, and he will doubtless supply them all before he leaves the island to its own devices. For that reason the new Cuban government, whether it comes into existence next vear or the year after, with a workable code-of fundamental laws, will have a far better chance of success than its predeces sor had without such a code. Indeed, since Governor Magoon is abolishing the one real cause of the former failure he is making future success as certain as it can humanly be made. lic accounting, and defining the limits of the executive power, and many more. Some of these Wor is this the extent of the work of redemp 4on which is being performed. Material im provements are heing made which may appeal even more directiy to many of the people than will the new laws. Under Mr. Magoon’'s admin {stration more good roads have been built in the jcland than in 211 the four centuries before. Then he went to Cuba he found on the island only two steam rollers for road making. Dur ing the Palma administration appropriations had been made for mew roads, but when the money was provided it was found that there was no machinery for doing the work, and as the appropriations were explicitly for the work and not for the purchase of machinery nothing could be done! Moreover, there was, T believe, in all the island not a single courthouse, nor a public schoolhouse which had been erected for that purpose. In the building of roads and bridges Mr. Magoon has not merely improved the indus :rial condition of Cuha—he has correspondingly improved its political and social status. In the great tobace» growing province of Pimar del Rio, for example, there had been a chronic state of discontent. Some of the people were per sistent officeseekers, and some were constantly plotting insurrections. Mr. Magoon gridironed the province with good roads. The result was expressed tc me by a prominent man in Havana. There were, he said, no longer any political con spiracies or any officeseekers in Pinar del Ric. Whereas he used to get many letters from his friends there asking him to secure them govern ment employment in Havana, he now got none. The people found that, with the improved roads for getting to and from market, agriculture was more profitzhle than politics or revolution. To &pply the old saying, they had taken to raising more tobacco and less hell! Mr. Magoon is thus teaching the Cubans, for the first time in their experience, the collective benefits of good government. Before his advent government in Cuba had meant something quite apart from the general welfare of the people, or else inimical to it. “Government,” said a vet eran Cuban to me, “used to mean to some of us something to resist and to conspire against: to gome of us something from which to draw per sonal salaries and make personai profits, and to most of us something to which we must pay heavy taxes without getting anything in re turn.” But now it is beginning to mean socme people, which gives better roads and schools, which makes life and property more secure, which enables men to make more money, and which. in brief, promotes, not as of old, merely the individual profit of the officeholder, but the general profit of the whole people. Naturally public interest in the government and attach ment to it are increasing. So. too, is increasing a2 most hopeful inclination to seek civil rather than military leadership. Practically all the old military leaders of real distinction and important following are now gone, and their successors, who are military chiefiy in name and pretension, command little confidence, and cannot hope suc cessfully to compete in popular esteem with the practical benefits of an enlightened system of civil government. In doing his varied, complex and arduous work in Cuba Mr. Magoon has acted with that fine combination of firmness and suavity, of author ity and tact, which must characterize the suc cessful administrator. He has been notably cautious when caution was needed, and equally expeditious when his course was unmistakably clear. Note the case of the notorious Masso Parra. His conspiracies to get up a cutthroat “revolution” were town talk for weeks, and peo ple wondered why on earth the Governor did not arrest him. The reason was simple. Town talk i= not legal evidence. But curing zll those days of seeming unconcern the Governor was ex hausting the resources of scrutiny and investi gation to secure the positive proof which was needed. At last he got it, and then the ‘“gen erzl” did not remain at large an hour. That is the mort of administration which is effective in Cuba, and which has made the Provisional Gov ernor terror to evildoers and the idol of all well disposed Cubans. An eminent publicist who Is familiar with men and affairs in many lands has likened him to Lord Cromer. Per sonally the likeness is faulty, the American Gove ernor @ifering radically in temperament and disposition from the great BEritish pro-consul. But in the supreme achievement of bringing or der out of 2 land long accustomed to chaos, and in giving salutary laws and public works to a people needful but destitute of those things, and perhaps, above all, in jeaching the general and collective benefits of good government to a peo ple to whom good government had been un known, there is an interesting parallel between the two which is creditable to them both.
