THE COMMISSIONERS DIFFER,
A Disagreement as to What to DO With
aPolice OfIicer Accused of Drinking.

The Commissioners are in disagreement over
the sentence Of the police trial board which
recently tried Private John Dolan for intoxi-
cation and neglect Of duty and found him
guilty of neglect of duty but not guilty OF in
toxication and fined him sl0 The testimony
Of Sergeant Dunnigan before the trial board
was to the effect that Dolan appeared to him
under the influence Of Liquor, and that Of Pri-
Vate Fox that Dolan told him that he had been
down the rivez and drank good deal Of beer
and met some friends and was feeling very
badly. Private Fox also testified that he might
have been suffering from the effects Of drink
down the river, but he could not say he
was intoxicated; at least he not
drunk; he might have been suffering
from the effects of liquor. not directly
but indirectly. This was in substance the tes-
nmony against Private Dolan. When the
matter was presented to the Commissioners.
as all cases are for their approval, Commits
sioner Hine signed the papers as did Commits
s,oner Douglass. Col Robert however. thought
inherently and refused to sign them. and TAX
ing them to Commissioner Douglass pointed
out the testimony above referred TO and said
ne thought the officer in question ought TO be
dismissed instead of being fined sI0 for neglect
Of duty when he was intoxicated. and should be
dismissed for that Commissioner Douglass
reao over the papers and scratched of his
name, adding the following: This man was
drunk on his beat and during his hours of duty
ana should be dismissed" Commissioner Hine
was shown the papers with Mr.. Douglass
cancelled signature and he wrote the follow
ing: This man having been tried by a tribunal
regularly organized for that purpose, and it's
sentence declared, believe it better that 1t
stand While the punishment is very light. it
Is the trst be has been subjected 10. and the
admonition by the trial committee that repe-
tition of the of ense will cause his removal will
believe, insure TO the force good officer. a
repetition OF the offense should insure sum-
mary dismissal" As majority OF the board
are against the findings of the trial committee
IT Is more than probable that the papers viii
be rereferred to the major of police disap-
proved together with recommendation that
the officer be dismissed. as the testimony in
the case clearly indicates that he had grossly
violated the regulations.

OLD TIME TELEGRAPHY.
The Mound builders Were the Inventor
of the System.

of the System.
There was a system Of telegraphy be-
tween the site Of Chicago and that of the
City Of Mexico before the days of Morse,
before Franklin's discovery, before the
discovery Of America by Co~lumbus-per-
haps before the days of Christ.
Such are the assertions of the Chicago
Tribune correspondent who asks consider
alton OF his statements on the following
basis:
Chicago was certainly the northern ter
minus of a telegraph line whose other
end was in Mexico at so remote a period
Of the worlds history that the very name
OF the rcce that built II is buried in obliv-
ion. 1t was not the Indians. The ances-
tors of old Tecumseh and Hiawatha are
moderns compared with the earlier race.
The first Geographic system was en-
ployed some centuries ago by that Curl
Gus race Of people that built the huge
mounds of earth that are met with every
where in the Mississippi valley and down
the Atlantic coast. We call the people OF
that age simply mound builders for want
of a different name. The race is dead.
The last man of them had passed to his
eternal rest long centuries before the
land became the home OF b modern red

MARY ANDERSON'S WEDDING.
1t VIII be Privnte-N0t Even Attended b
tho Groonl's Parents.

It VIII be Privnte-N0t Even Attended BY
tho Groom's Parents.
New YORK, juno 15-At the Bromp.
ton Oratory, in London, on Tuesday
morning next, Miss Mary Anderson will
wed Mr.. Antonio Navarro, OF New York.
The ceremony will be performed by
Cardinal Manning. When the engage.
ment Of Miss Anderson was announced
it was stated that the wedding would be
one Of the most fashionable affairs OF
the season, and that tickets OF admis-
sion to this pro-cathedraI were already
In demand rs long ago as January. 1t
has been decided, however, for reasons
not made public, that the wedding will
be as private as possible.
The only persons who will attend are
Or. Griffin and his wife (the latter is the
mother OF the bride); Joseph Anderson,
her brother. and his wife, who is the
daughter Of Lawrence Barrett; Alfonso
Navarro and Miss Lytton, daughter OF
the present British Ambassador at Paris !;
the two latter will witness the ceremony.
For come reason Nine. Navarro, who
was the chaperone Of Miss Anderson
while travelling through the South Of
France, will not attend. She is at Rome.
Navarro pere Is in this city, and when
aeen to-day by reporter did not seem
10 know very much about his p.ospec.
tive daughter-in-iaw's movements. He
said he guessed the newspaper stories
about the wedding were correct. He
had not been Informed as to whether,
after the marriage, the happy couple
would return to this city and take up
their abode. He inclined to tho be.
lief that Miss Anderson was partial to
life in London, but he thought they
would live in this city. He did not
think it unlikely that they would reside
on Madison avenue, near Fifty.second
street, when they returned to the city
in October.
The bride and groom will leave Eng.
land after the ceremony, and visit Paris,
Rome, Venice aud Geneva. They viii
reach London again early in October.

Tho Vote on tho silver I'LL To.Dny-Other
Measures to Es Acted On.
WASHINGTON, d. G., June l5.-The
debate on the silver question Is TO close
by tue present order OF the Senate at 3
o'clock Monday afternoon, and it is the
prevalent expectation that vote will be
reached before adjournment on ono or
more Of the amendments to the bill IL
not upon the measure itself. In the past
week efforts were made TO secure pledges
OF q majority OF the Senators to support
ono or another proposition on this sub.
ject hut it is understood that they we're
failures. aud that nothing but roll call
OF the Senate will definitely determine
just what character OF silver bill will
pass that body.
When this matter is out OF the way
struggle for precedence is possible. Sem
ator Allison says he will ask to have the
legislative, executive and judicial app1o-
ptiation bill considered; Senator Piatt
wants the bill to admit Wyoming to the
union taken up, and Senator Frye will
press his shipping bills to the attention
OF the Senate. If the Wyoming bill
should be taken up, it is understood
that the Democrats will otter a substi-
tnte 10 admit Wyoming, Idaho, New
Mexico and Arizona to the Union in d
body. Republicans, go it is announced,
will not spend much time in argument
on the bill. as they will rest the case
upon the report OF the committee in fa-
vor OF the passage OF the bill. The
River and Harbor appropriation
bill will be reported early in the
week from the Committee on
Commerce, but it will not be called up
for action by Chairman Frye before next
week. By the middle OF the week the
Republican members Of the Finance
Committee expect to have the tariff bill
ready to report. A feeling prevails that
the debate on that measure will not be-
gin until the measures above referred to
are disposed OF. The Elections Com
mittee wish to call up the Mississippi
contested election case OF Chalmers vs..
Morgan. This is one OF the cases where
the committee has reported in favor OF
the sitting Democratic member, and it
may act us softening prelude to the
angry and excited strains OF the debate
on the national election bill which is ex-
pected to follow and close this week.
