A DEFENCE OF THE SQUAD.

-Nf-W IUIth, xAuB ust IoISs
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERAID:-
In Sunday and to-day's paper find a report on
the action OF the steamboat squad and must that
the criticism of the several police captains sergeants
and informants in general is unfounded. The steam
boat squad since it's existence has rendered more
service to the city and people than all the captains
whose precincts include the river front. Before the
forming OF the steamboat squad the river front
infested by river thieves and emisrant swindlers.
but since the arrival OF Captain Gastln and his aids
have heard but very little of their depredations.
During the late strike of the longshoremen the
squad was on duty day and night for seven weeks.
1t not the quietest strike for many years, but
through the inhue of Captain Castln over the
workingmen bloody riot prevented, which
certainly would have happened had the notorious
captain of the Twenty ninth" been in command.
1t is true that there are good many young men in
the squad. but the majority old and tried men,
and necessary have the former also, active
men are required to keep thieves and pickpockets
away from docks sailing days. H.

ME-. KELLY AS A LEADER.

From the Baltimore (Md.) American-rep
The declaration Of John Kelly that Tammany Hall
will not support Governor Robinson if the demo-
cratic party of New York renomnates him does not
appear to have spread CONSERVATION through the
rank and file. John Kelly is regarded too stupid
and pigheaded to be judcious leader, and the TACT
that his ticket has been thrice beaten in the
cratic stronghold of New York city is fact which
does not assist Tammany Hall in attempting the role
of q dictator in State politics

UHFo9rUy4TE MISTAKE AT BELHxTUE.

HOW HE BODY OF CHARLES THOMsEN CAME 10 BE-
GIVEN UP FOR DISSECTION.
Charles Thomson. of No. 60 Giinton-st.. an insane
patient of Bellevue hospital, died GA December ..
aud his boaJ was gwen up tor dissection. On Decem
Der ID tie wife learned that Thomson was dead and
applied for the body. which restored TO her after
some delay. 1t had been partly dissected. 1t Is
customary never to give bodies for dissection unless
the friends consent to il, or when there are no
friends Mrs. Thomson complained bitterly to the
Commissioners OF Charities and Correction that she
was not informed of her husbands death and al
leg neglect and nattention the part Of the
hospital officers She also asserted that the we'd
ding ring winch her husband wore was missing.
The Commissioners of Charities and Correction
Yesterday began an examination in reference to the
matter. There was 10 dispute of the fact that
Thomson after being received soon developed symp-
toms of insanity and died on December 9. The tes-
tmOny showed that he received all requisite care.
Warden OR0urke, as usual, had the body taken al
once to the MOrgue. The clerk says that notice of
death was made out, and that ii was the fault of
the messenger il It was not delivered to the dead
mans wife. The warden testified in regard to the
wedding-rng. that the orderly who received Ihom-
sen when he admitted to the hospital. noticed
that the ring was large and likely tc fall of. So he
endeayOred TO take " away for safe-keeplng. but
the sick made so much opposition that he was
allowed TO retain it, Aftcrward, when Thomson
was being moved for the last time part Of the ring
dropped out OF MS clotnlH Inc otner part hau ap-
parently been lost. Mrs Thomson refused to take
the part that was found because il not the part

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-The Russian mission II

Rhode Is md, to whom the appointment was
offered was at first disposed to accept
it, and, indeed, he went far as to
notify tho State Department of his acceptance.
1t is understood, this afternoon that only few
hours after the notification had reached the De-
DaItment dispatch received from Governor
Van Zandt saying that on further consideration he
felt compelled to decline
A dispatch from Providence printed in The Ercr-
ing Star here says that both General Burnside and
Governor Van Zandt have declined the Russian
Mission; but there is excellent reason TO believe
that the former has not yet had an Oppor-
tunity TO decline il. Ii is thought by
gentlemen who are well-informed on the subject
that Governor Van Zandts final decination of the
mission was caused by assurances which he received
to-day of sufficient support to elect him to the
United States Senate in place of General Burnside,
whose term will expire next year.
1t is known that Governor Van Zandt would
much prefer q seat in the Senate 10 a foreign
