The announcement in our Washington dis
catches that at the next meeting of the Senate
the nominations of Pilsbury and Chase to be
Collectors of Internal Revenue at Boston and
Portland will probably be rejected will cause
no regret except in the breasts of the two vic

The nominations were conspicuously unfit to
be made and brought as much discredit upon
President Clev Glands Administration as any
occurrence of the past twelve months, always

not be wiped out by an adverse vote of the

Much perhaps might be said i'll favor of
erecting statues of Robert Fulton. De Witt
Clinton and Ilendrick Hudson in Riverside
Park but it will probably be some time before
the scheme which is now talked of is carried
out. When the time does come TO do the work
it is to be hoped that statues of real artistic
merit will be put up. 1t may be suggested to
those interested that the best way to secure this
result is not to advertise for proposals with the
understanding that the contract will be
awarded to the lowest bidder.

There doubtless is room for difference of
opinion as to the desirabiity IF having the
Harlem River improvement work done by con-
tract. Is there any reason why the work
should not be conducted by the Government
in the same way as the Hallets Point and
Flood Rock excavations2 We believe there
never has been a suggestion that these opera
lions were not performed thoroughly and eco
nomically. General Newton made the Harlem
River surveys, and the widening and deepen

hands.

One side issue of the street railway agitation
this winter resulted yesterday in the introduce
ton of bill in the State Senate reducing the
fare on all cars using the Broadway Surface
Company's tracks TO three cents per passenger.
1t is claimed that though no right may exist to
annul the charter of the company there is
ample right to regulate its mode of operation
This appears reasonable. The Railroad Com
missioners recently showed that on a fair
estimate of the actual cost of the roads
more than one hOrse-car line could be
run at a three-cent fare with the present
efficiency and yet pay reasonable dividends.
What the Broadway investigation may develop
is yet uncertain, but the outlook has not per-
ceptibly frightened as the committee has adj
vanced in its work. If people can ride in the
Broadway cars for three cents, they may not
feel quite the same Indignation over the
methods by which the franchise was obtained
as they do now. They would probably fancy
that in a sense they were "getting square
with the company.

The Tyrrell Manslaughter Case.

The Tyrrell Manslaughter Case.
COMBINATION OF WITNESSES WHICH THE
COURT CONDEMNED.
After the testimony in the case of Robert Orr
and Frank Gallagher. charged with killing
Stephen Tyrrell, was closed in the Criminal
Court yesterday, the district attorney asked
permission 10 introduce the testimony of
Bloomer Brown, who was present and witnessed
the fatal fight. The district attorney submitted
statements to show that the government had
obtained knowledge for the first time that
Brown witnessed the fight, during the exami-
nation of VIM. Sheppard, a government wit
ness, on the preceding day, and that the reason
why he was not known of before was that Shep-
name or inform any one of the fact of his pres
ence at the scene of the trouble; and that Shep-
pard did not divulge the name until near the
close of his examination on the witness stand.
The court refused to admit the testimony. He
said that the statement to the court showed
that corrupt combination existed between q
witness who had been on the stand and the one
the government wished to call, in which the
witness had agreed not to mention the name of
the other man in connection with the homicide,
and the latter agreed never to mention that he
should be indicted.
This morning the trial was resumed and the
arguments Of counsel were continued.
THE VERDICT
The court followed the argument with q
charge to the jury, and they retired with the
case about 1915. After an hours absence q
verdict of guilty of manslaughter was returned
against Orr, and not guilty as to Gallagher.
