to Secretary Whitney that the examining
loard Of naval officers were unduly favor,
able to the present incumbents, and that
their retention will not be fair to outside

naval officers are Republicans and were dis
inclined to see Democrats appointed. The
charge is not likely to receive attention at
the Navy Department, where full confidence
is felt in the board. The instructions very
emphatically forbid any discrimination In

last evening. Ats o'clocl, the motor was
attached to two passenger cars of the
Ninth avenue line, and when these cars
were lighted u crowd Of people pushed up
the steps leading to both side, Of the sta
tion and demanded to be given ride. A
colorcd man with very broad smile kept
guard, however, and permitted onlya few
inventors and persons directly intcrcstc in
the invention to enter
An hour was spent in putting the final
touches to the motor aud In eecing that the
switches were In proper condition. Then

There was wlizzing sound rs II an
