The decision of the St. Nicholas Club to move
into a house in F1fth-ave. brings TO conclusion
a spirited and interesting contest which has been going
on between the members OF the institution since last
spring The idea first mooted by the younger men,
bers They wanted to get the fashionable promenade,
where the front windows would command aview OF the
fashionable and attractive procession which passes
along on Sunday mornings and fine afternoons In the
spring and autumn time. Moreover, the freshmen"
as tho more stad members OF the Club desig-
mated these eager youths. wanted the Club to enter
tain more than 1t had been doing; they wanted dinners
receptions Paas festivals and the like 10 follow each
other in rapid succession; in short, they
wished to introduce little " life" into
the Club and stigmatzed their slower
and more reflective fellows fossils" The Older men
thought the present building in Twentyninth-st. was
large enough sufficiently well situated for all present
purposes They said that the St. Nicholas Club had been
founded on the plan the Century and the idea Of drop

ELECTION OF CITY OFFICIALS.

A SCHEME WHICH Is THOUGHT TO DE IN THE IN
TEREsT OF THE ALDERMEN.
(FRoM THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNE. ]
ALBANY, Feb. 12-The politicians in New-York,
who are endeavOring to defeat Mr.. Roosevelts bill
depriving the Board of Aldermen of the power to
confirm the Mayors appointments of heads of de-
partments, made their first movement in the AS
sembly day. Mr.. House, of New-York intro
duced Senator Gibbss bills providing for the cleo
ton of Controller, President Of
the Board of Aldermen a Commissioner
of Public Works Commissioner of Parks, and a
Counsel to the Corporation in New-YOrk next fall.
1t is charged that Mr.. House introduced these bills
to impede the progress of Mr. Roosevelts bill. The
argument to be made is that these officers arc to
be elected by the bill there is need of the Board
of Aldermen being deprived of the power to confirm
them.
Mr., Houses proceedings upon introducing the
bills certainly give support to the supsicion
that he presented them for some motive not yet
yealed by him. He asked that the first bill, that
in regard to the Counsel to the Corporation, be re-
ferred to the Judiciary COMMITTEE 1t should have
been referred to the Committee on Cities, of which
Mr.. Roosevelt is chairman No one objected ana
all the bills which are exclusively In relation 70 the
CITY of New-York, and have no possible relation
with the judicial system of the State, were referred
to the Judiciary Committee.
Mr. Roosevelt called attention to this singular
treatment of the bills The speaker Iepiied that
request. Mr.. Houses only reason for not
sending his bills TO the Committee on Cities
obviously is because he, thinks that
favor the bills Moreover, doubtless he thinks that
the Judiciary Committee can be induced to report
0uickly the bills and then they can be put In the
pathway of Mr. RooSevelts bill.
